"Brother, the five thousand-man team captains have arrived." Alan said to Su Cheng who was sitting on the chair.

"Yeah." Su Cheng nodded lightly.

He raised his head and saw that the five thousand-man captains of the 5,000-strong crusade were already standing in front of him.

There was a long table between Su Cheng and the five captains of the Thousand-Man Team. On the long table was an extremely detailed map.

Alan and Kailuoer stood behind Su Cheng.

"I'm really sorry for suddenly calling five of you over for an emergency meeting." Su Cheng exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then continued, "I'm going to tell you the strategy for defeating these 30,000 rebels. I hope you will listen carefully."

"What?"

The five thousand-man team captains all looked shocked.

"The strategy of using 5,000 troops to defeat an army of 30,000?" One of the red-haired captains asked in an uncertain tone.

"Yes, a strategy to defeat 30,000 enemy troops." Su Cheng looked calm and looked up at the captain who had just asked the question.

The five captains all swallowed involuntarily at the same time. They suddenly felt as if the coach in front of them had suddenly changed.

The whole person seemed to have become calmer, sitting there like a rock. The whole person exuded a strange aura. Under this aura, Su Cheng now had an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura.

temperament.

Looking at Su Cheng, who suddenly seemed like a different person, the five captains all felt a little more at ease now for some reason.

The five of them followed Su Cheng to put down the rebellion with the mentality of never going back.

After all, anyone would feel guilty after learning that their commander was a man who had never led an army before, and would not have any hope for this battle.

"Commander." Another captain asked, "For a military meeting, don't we need to let the two knights leave first?"

He was referring to Alan and Deng Jiaer.

Alan and Deng Jiaer's current identity is Su Cheng's knight retinue. On the battlefield, knight retinues often can only do thankless and not very important tasks. Therefore, when convening military meetings, they often

Repulse the knight's retinue.

"No need." Su Cheng said, "Both of them are very important. One of them will be an important person in our battle and will serve as the cavalry forward, while the other one came up with the same strategy as me.

, so it’s okay for her to stay there too.”

Su Cheng moved his eyes and scanned the five thousand-man team captains in front of him one by one.

"Does anyone else have questions?"

There was silence.

"Then it seems there's no problem, that's good."

Su Cheng stood up and said loudly: "Then, let's start the military meeting to defeat the rebel army now!"

"Oh!" the five thousand-man team captains shouted in unison.

Su Cheng pointed at the three rebel troops on the map.

"Our army only has 5,000 people, while the enemy has 30,000 people, which is 6 times our number. The difference in strength between our two sides is 1 to 6, which is a huge disparity in strength."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, the five thousand-man team captains nodded solemnly.

"However," Su Cheng changed the subject, "the difference in strength between our two sides cannot actually be calculated in this way. The difference in strength between us and the enemy is not as great as 1:6."

"Can't it be calculated like this?" The red-haired captain of the Thousand-Man Team asked doubtfully, "Coach, what does this mean?"

"Because the enemy dispersed its forces." Su Cheng poked at the map, "The rebel army split the 30,000 troops into three groups, with only 15,000, 10,000, and 5,000 respectively."

"Moreover, the area they are walking through now has complex terrain, and their three armies are too far apart, making it difficult to contact and assist each other. This gives us the opportunity to defeat them one by one, so I decided to use

The strategy of 'concentrating our forces and defeating them one by one' is to fight them all the way! In this case, our strength difference will not be 1 to 6, but will become 1 to 3, 1 to 2 and 1 to 1."

"But, General. Even so, the enemy troops on each route are still more than us or equal to us."

"That's right, so we have to launch a surprise attack to catch them off guard," Su Cheng continued, "In the past month and a half, the enemy has defeated three armies that came to encircle and suppress them in a row, and they must have grown proud in their hearts.

Come on, last time two new knights commanded 18,000 men and horses and were defeated by them. This time, a man who was not a knight, not even a soldier came and commanded 5,000 men and horses to encircle and suppress them. Their commander would be even more proud.

They certainly didn’t expect that our numbers were only one-sixth of theirs and that we would have the courage to attack them by surprise.”

"The enemy army is just a group of peasant rebels. The level of training and organization is not high. If the leader dies, the entire army will collapse immediately. Therefore, we must implement beheading tactics and surprise the leaders of each enemy army."

Su Cheng reached out and poked at the map.

"Not only that, their current soldiers must be very tired, and the three leaders of their rebel army may not be in harmony now. This is more suitable for us to raid them and defeat them one by one."

"Huh? Commander, how do you know that the enemy soldiers are very tired?"

"I wonder if the five captains have noticed the marching speed of the enemy's 3rd Army?"

"Marching speed?"

"Yes." Su Cheng nodded, "Their marching speed is too fast. Without pursuing troops or any special circumstances, such a marching speed is too abnormal. Although such a speed is fast, it is painful.

Soldiers. Their three-pronged armies have been moving so fast these days, and their soldiers must be very tired. This can greatly reduce the disadvantage of our army having a small number of troops."

"There is another characteristic of their three-pronged army, that is, they all seem to be competing, one is faster than the other. After thinking about it, the only possibility is that their three leaders are grabbing credit, and everyone wants to

Get ahead of the other two armies and capture Cordoba first."

"This is my strategic plan," Su Cheng looked at the five thousand-man team captains, "Do you have any questions or want to add?"

The five thousand-man team captains looked at me and I looked at you. No one spoke. Then all five of them looked at Su Cheng with convinced expressions.

"General," one of them said, "Although this battle plan sounds risky, I feel like I have a good chance of winning!"

"Since there is no doubt, I will start to announce the specific combat details and tasks."

Su Cheng pointed suddenly at the location of Anton's middle route army marked on the map.

"Let's kill Anton's 15,000 people first. Calculating the speed of our army and the speed of the enemy's army, the battle time will be the day after tomorrow! And the location"

The index finger placed on the map traced Anton's marching route and touched a valley.
