Chapter 649: Battle Plan

In the room, there was a huge sand table. Inside the sand table, the entire terrain of the Luoying Mountains was made vividly. This was still the remains of the death camp. Scissors sat in a wheelchair and stared at the sand table in a daze. An Ruhai stood aside and was also looking at the sand table. He had already become accustomed to the state of scissors in recent years.

The generals stepped into the door one by one, without saying a word, but just bowed their hands and stood around the sand table. To fight, this was something that everyone had expected, and it was also an extremely exciting thing for them. The generals' contribution was to go to the battlefield to get it. Moreover, this war was even more a war to avenge the previous shame for the Chu State. More than four years ago, the 80,000 Western troops were destroyed in the Luoying Mountains, which had become a huge scar in the history of the Chu State's war. Without a big victory, the scar will never fade away.

"Everyone, next, General Duan will tell us about the general plan of this battle." An Ruhai coughed softly, and the house immediately became quiet, and glanced at everyone majestic. An Ruhai continued: "The generals here, except General Su, are basically transferred from other troops, some from the eastern border army, some from the Huofeng army, and some from the county military system, but everyone has one thing in common, that is, they are probably unfamiliar with fighting in such high mountains and ridges. Although I also know that everyone has been studying this issue over the years and has read a lot of military books, it is difficult to get the essence of the war on paper. General Duan has been fighting in this mountain range in his early years and is an expert in mountain combat. General Duan, let's start!"

Scissors are a unique existence in the current Western Army. His past is not a secret. Many generals do not like this guy who once betrayed his brothers, and many people even despise him extremely. Scissors are also extremely withdrawn. Apart from official business, there is only Suqian who has a little relationship with him. He lives in a quiet place and goes alone. His presence in the Western Army seems to be very low.

But such a person has been promoted over the years, and now he is the deputy general of the Western Army of 50,000. Among the Western Army, his status is second only to An Ruhai. This makes those who excluded scissors in the past very worried about his revenge, because from his past, this person is definitely a cruel and ruthless person. Many people have held gifts in the middle of the night with their faces and touched the scissors' mansion in the middle of the night, but without exception, they are all turned away.

But what makes those people exception is that the scissors have never made things difficult for them to take revenge on them, as if everyone was like air in his eyes.

Gradually, no one dared to ignore the existence of scissors anymore. Not only because he was the deputy general of the Western Army, but the generals below finally discovered a fact that basically all the soldiers under his command came from the scissors training camp. A group of rookies stepped into the training camp, and a group of elite soldiers came out of the training camp and handed them over to their hands.

If all the soldiers respect General An Ruhai, they would definitely be afraid of scissors, even if they were a guy sitting in a wheelchair now without the power to tie a chicken.

The scissors raised their eyes and glanced at the generals inside the room. The eyes were so gray that they were lifeless, which made everyone's hearts numb.

"Everyone, this battle is actually not too difficult for us. Because of the Qin State's changes, the Qin State's border army is in chaos now. I think everyone knows that Bian Wushuang came with 20,000 thunders, but I am even happier that Deng Hong drew away 5,000 grassroots officers from the border army, which is equivalent to shortening the backbone of this Qin State's border army. Bian Wushuang wants to re-stretch this backbone in a short time, which is impossible to complete." The scissors said slowly, and every few words he said, he would pause. His health was quite bad, and everyone understood.

"However, General An just said that mountain combat is very different from other terrain combat. You are not very adaptable to the previous combat experience. Because the Luoying Mountains are not only mountains, but also vast forests. Now everyone looks at the sand table and feels that they are clear about the terrain of the Luoying Mountains, and everything is in control. But when you are really deep in it, you will easily get lost because he will find that it seems that every mountain and every valley will grow similarly."

"But our enemies have been stationed in the Rocky Mountains for four years. They are far better than us in the familiarity of the terrain. In this regard, it is quite unfavorable for us."

"General Duan, we are well prepared for these difficulties. You said, how should we fight this battle?" Suqian said. Among the generals present, he had some friendship with the scissors, so his words were more straightforward.

Scissors nodded: "It is impossible to launch too large-scale troops in the Luoying Mountains. Everyone should never think about the scene of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people fighting on the plains, unless it is like..."

A thick haze suddenly flashed across his face.

"General Duan, there is no need to mention that extreme situation." An Ruhai immediately interrupted him.

The scissors did not say it, but everyone present understood what the scissors were saying. This extreme situation was that many years ago, when the 80,000 Western Army attacked, and each battalion was destroyed while marching into a pre-set ambush circle.

"Three thousand people are almost the best number of people in a combat unit." Scissors continued: "More times, you will spread out one thousand people, or even a hundred people, and the areas you can control, or just a few hills or a few canyons. If there are more, you will likely lose control."

"General Duan, then, isn't it a mess of porridge as soon as the battle starts?" a general frowned.

"Absolutely." Scissors said lightly: "Because once the army is spread out, it is very difficult to re-connect. If you can't hear the drums or see the flag, your messenger may be intercepted by the opponent's scout on the way to deliver the letter at any time. So don't expect too much. Therefore, fighting in the Luoying Mountains, you must set the goals you will achieve in advance, and then break down the big goals into small goals and allocate them to each combat unit. Then what everyone has to do is to do everything possible to complete your mission."

"Isn't this a blind man touching an elephant? It depends entirely on his feelings. If a unit fails to fight, it is very likely that the overall situation will be extremely dangerous." Another general's expression also changed drastically.

"The generals are right, so on this Western Front, the battle between the two sides in the Luoying Mountains is always based on the battle camps, strangling each other, seizing the territory bit by bit, and slowly forcing the other side to retreat. If a large-scale battle like in front of me was not in the chaos of Qin, I would definitely oppose it." Scissors said firmly.

"This kind of opportunity has never appeared in the past and will never be there again. If we want to retake the Luoying Mountains like before, we will sacrifice tens of thousands of people and take at least ten years. So you must seize this opportunity."

Picking up a long pole from the sand table, the tone of the scissors seemed much easier, "I said everything before, but now I'll talk about our advantages." He raised his head and smiled rare: "The Qin people replaced Deng Pu with Bian Wenzhong instead of selecting a general familiar with mountain combat from the original Western Army generals. After Bian Wenzhong came to power, they expanded Jingjing Pass on a large scale. Now there are 5,000 Qin troops stationed in Jingjing Pass. In front of Jingjing Pass, Jingjing Pass was used as a barrier. After that, one military camp after another was built. It seems to have made the Luoying Mountains a solid foundation, but in fact it was a big mistake. You may be puzzled, but please take a look. If these military camps are connected into a line, will you still get lost in the Luoying Mountains?"

He pointed the long rod one by one through the military camps that were countless times smaller than the sand table, and asked with scissors.

There were bursts of hearty laughter in the room. Indeed, with these military camps leading the way, they would never be unable to find the direction.

"They lost their biggest advantage and allowed us to be on par with them on the most unfavorable point. We would like to thank Bian Wenzhong for spending countless money on the road signs for us in the past two years."

The room suddenly burst into laughter. Everyone looked at the scissors, as if the guy's still muddy face was not that annoying.

"We only have one tough battle to fight, that is, to pull out the Jingjingguan!" said scissors: "If we want to take back the Luoyingshan Mountains, this is a battle that must be fought and cannot be avoided. As long as we can win the Jingjingguan, the future will be simple. I believe the Qin army also knows this very well, so this will be a hurdle that we have to climb over."

"Jingjingguan, I will lead my troops to attack!" An Ruhai.

"The General Mo thought so too." Scissors nodded. "When General An took Jingjing Pass, our army will be able to enter the Luoying Mountains smoothly. But please note that after entering the Luoying Mountains, what you have to do is not to attack those military camps. This is a thankless thing. What you have to do is to march!"

The long pole in the scissors' hand pointed at the canyons in the Luoying Mountains, and roads that were unknown at all, and explained it to the generals in the house with a few knowledge.

While explaining the scissors, a guard inserted small flags into and out. When the scissors put away the long pole and everyone looked at the final small flags, they suddenly discovered that if the plan was finally successful, the 50,000 Western troops that had emerged from all over the place would form one circle after another in the huge Luoying Mountains, and almost every circle had overlapping parts. Of course, the generals knew that the overlapping parts they saw here would not happen in reality. This just means that the distance between each unit was not too far, but could echo each other between at least two units.

"When we reach this goal, the Qin army in these military camps will have to go out of the military camps to fight us, because if they can't hide, we will fight to Qinghe County. But as long as they come out, no matter where they go, they will be surrounded by one of our army. The scale of the battle will not be too large, and it will still be dominated by war camps, but the concentration is small and the number of war camps is large. As long as these war camps can be annihilated one by one, the victory will eventually belong to us."
