Chapter 560 Ghosts and Gods
"My lord, the last general invites you to fight!"
Before Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Dian Wei and the four generals of tigers, leopards, wolves and eagles called for battle at the same time.
Shang Ji thought for a while, then looked at Xi Zhicai again, seeing Xi Zhicai nodded with a smile, Shang Ji also agreed to their challenge.
"All right, with Dian Wei as the vanguard, supported by four generals of tigers, leopards, wolves and eagles, with three hundred guards of evil gods and one thousand secret weapons in shadow clothes, take this strategically important place!"
"Follow the Lord's order!" The five shouted in unison.
"After taking this high ground, we will have the ability to prevent the enemy from retreating eastward to North Korea. But this is not enough to defeat them. The subordinates suggest that while General Dian and the others are attacking, we should go here, here, here At the same time, launch a large-scale offensive. Disrupt the resistance of the Korean army in one fell swoop, defeat or drive the Korean army out of the Dragon Throat Canyon!"
Xi Zhicai pointed to several points on the map while talking!
Shang Ji looked at the attacking positions that Xi Zhicai had chosen, and was a little surprised. These points combined the weak areas of the North Korean defenders, and at the same time considered factors such as terrain and location, and selected the most suitable offensive points.
Theoretically speaking, Xi Zhicai has never had any large-scale combat experience, but his sharp eyes and unique insights surprised even Shang Ji, a veteran in the battlefield.
If Shang Ji was in command, it would be impossible for him to do better than Xi Zhicai. Could it be that these famous historical generals were born with knowledge?
"Military division continues!" Seeing that Xi Zhicai has entered the role of chief of staff, Shang Ji stopped interfering with his train of thought and motioned him to continue talking.
"My subordinates suggest that General Wang Shu, General Chen Shan, and General Zhou Yun be the three generals, with 50,000 troops each to attack the above-mentioned strategic points. The four armies came out together to wipe out the Korean army in one fell swoop!
By the way, my subordinates suggest that we try not to harm the lives of the farmers who built the fort during the battle, and we also need them to help our army build fortifications. Pu Yin's counterattack is bound to be unprecedentedly fierce, and early planning is required! "
After listening, Shang Ji nodded again and again, thought for a while, and found that there were no loopholes, and directly ordered: "I will pass on my general order, and Wang Shu, Chen Shan, and Zhou Yun will each lead 50,000 troops to attack the above-mentioned important places. The rest of the army will follow my command. , launch a general offensive at the right time, and destroy the enemy!"
"yes!"
"All the soldiers rest in place, have a full meal, and set off immediately in two hours to capture the Dragon Throat Canyon!"
"Wait a minute, general!"
"What? What other orders does the military advisor have?" Shang Ji looked at Xi Zhicai suspiciously.
"Leaving in two hours, the general intends to march at night, use the cover of night to approach Dragon's Throat Canyon, and then launch a surprise attack?"
"Naturally, if we are discovered one point later, the North Korean army's preparations will be one point less, and our chances of winning will be higher!"
"You don't need to be like this, general. The mountains and forests here are densely covered with poisonous snakes and beasts. Marching at night is too dangerous. It is safer during the day."
"But military division, marching in the daytime, even if the North Korean army is blind, they can't fail to spot our 400,000 troops! Once the North Korean army is prepared, our new casualties will only be much more than the losses caused by the night march!"
Xi Zhicai suddenly smiled mysteriously, and asked softly: "General, if there is a huge fog in the sky tomorrow morning, and people and animals can't be distinguished one foot away, what will happen?"
Shang Ji's eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly remembered the thick fog when Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao withdrew from Handan overnight when they were fighting against the Yellow Turban Army. It was precisely because of the thick fog that you couldn't see your fingers that you couldn't see your fingers, the officers and soldiers didn't realize that the Yellow Turban Army had already escaped their shells, allowing Zhang Jiao's elite troops to retreat calmly!
"The military master can control the weather and make the sky full of fog?" Shang Ji looked at Xi Zhicai in shock and exclaimed.
"Hereticism, the lord will laugh at me!" Xi Zhicai waved his feather fan and smiled humbly.
"When you are in the sky, how can such a magical skill be called a small way?"
"There are many mountains and forests here, and the humidity is very heavy. The subordinates use the advantages of the weather, the convenience of the terrain, and the magic to control the fog.
It's just a coincidence. It's far worse than that fellow Zhang Jiao, who controls the clouds and rain out of thin air! "
After listening to Xi Zhicai's explanation, Shang Ji understood a little bit. Just like artificial rainfall in reality, there is not enough water vapor in the clouds, even if you fire 10,000 rain bombs into the sky, it will not help. Xi Zhicai also needs certain prerequisites to use this kind of heaven-defying means.
And Zhang Jiao is really awesome, ignoring the restrictions of nature, and raining heavy fog out of thin air, this is already a means of ghosts and gods.
However, when Zhang Jiao was in the state of fortune bonus, no one can say whether Zhang Jiao can use this kind of heaven-defying means after losing the bonus.
"Pass down the order and rest normally tonight. Let's start again tomorrow morning!" Understanding Xi Zhicai's method, Shang Ji immediately changed the order. With thick fog as cover, it is much better than night!
After a night's rest, the soldiers' condition improved significantly. After the meal, the army marched out again.
The sky at this time was still pretty good, and there was no sign of heavy fog at all, so Shang Ji set his sights on Xi Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, closed his eyes slightly, shook his feather fan slightly, and muttered something in his mouth. After a while, he saw him waving his feather fan, and Shang Ji felt a breeze blowing by, and the surrounding vegetation began to move without wind.
Seeing that Xi Zhicai's face turned pale quickly, he opened his eyes and said, "Fortunately, the fog will start to gather in a quarter of an hour, and it will appear in a quarter of an hour!"
"The military division has worked hard, come here, take care of the military division and go down to rest!"
Seeing Xi Zhicai's pale face, Shang Ji immediately shouted, beckoning someone to take care of Xi Zhicai.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the mana consumption is too much, it's not a problem, just rest for a while!" Xi Zhicai waved his hand, refusing others' help.
With an idea, Shang Ji took out a few pills from the Qiankun Ring. The elixirs used by scribes to restore mana and the elixirs used by generals to restore internal strength are not the same thing, but Liu Shi also prepared a few pills for Shang Ji based on the principle of being prepared, which happened to be used this time.
"There are a few pills here, the military master should take them first, the next thing needs to be a lot of trouble from the military master!"
Xi Zhicai was also polite, took a pill, opened it, and immediately a fresh fragrance came to his nostrils.
"Good pill!" Xi Zhicai sighed, and then bowed his head to accept.
The elixir made by Liu's own hands is naturally effective. After taking the elixir, Xi Zhicai's face quickly began to turn rosy, and he returned to his original state in a short while.
Seeing this, Shang Ji kept one pill in case of emergency, and stuffed the remaining four pills to Xi Zhicai.
"General Xinyi, this subordinate is ashamed to accept it!" Xi Zhicai was not humble, and directly accepted the four pills.
While the two were talking, the thick fog really began to gather. At the beginning the fog was still thin, but as time went by, the fog became heavier and heavier, and in the end it was impossible to see anything even five meters away.
Seeing this, Xi Zhi waved his feather fan lightly again, and the fog around the army began to dissipate slowly.
"General, everything is ready, please give the order!" Xi Zhicai respectfully said to Shang Ji.
Looking at the fog that has been floating around the army, Shang Ji also has a new understanding of the so-called top strategists. This kind of terrifying ability to change the weather at every turn is often enough to directly affect the direction of the battle!
Shang Ji suddenly remembered, what kind of scene would the Battle of Chibi be in the flames of war? The practice of Wolong opening the altar, with a wave of the feather fan, a twelfth-level tornado rose out of thin air, Zhou Gongjin showed his might, and the Samadhi real fire summoned burned Cao Cao's tens of millions of troops on the river and sea?
This style of painting seems to be a bit out of line!
