Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

This, what kind of terrain did you choose?

She didn't have a comprehensive view from this position, so she conveniently climbed to the tree.

Looking back through the gap in the treetops, one side of the mountain road is a cliff with no top, shrouded in clouds and mist, and the other side is a deep valley with no bottom. If the Ye army is surrounded from all sides and cannot win, then this is the only way. A narrow and extremely dangerous road to retreat...

How is this different from walking on a "single-plank bridge"? Or are they planning to fight to the bitter end or die if they don't succeed?

"I think the situation is a little bad. Do you think we should go there?" Zheng Quchi started to hesitate after getting down from the tree.

Gan Xin was puzzled: "What is Master planning to do there?"

Zheng Quchi squatted on the ground, picked up a branch and made signs on it, saying: "I didn't plan to do anything, but I just didn't know what was going on. I wanted to go over and ask about the situation..."

But Gan Xin thought that at this time, it was best for her to stay out of the matter: "Since Master has done everything you can do, then just leave the rest to fate."

"Leave it to fate?" Zheng Quchi paused.

Seeing that she seemed to disapprove of his proposal, Gan Xin could only compromise and said: "I will take action when necessary."

Zheng Quchi was silent for a moment. The wet brown soil surface was already rich in content, including numbers, lines, formulas, and various symbols. Her hands kept moving, and her mind was spinning rapidly.

At first, Gan Xin thought that the master was just trying to relieve his depression by scribbling on the ground with a branch to vent his emotions, but then he took a closer look and found that it was not the case.

Although he couldn't understand it, these neatly arranged and orderly "words" in the chaos had a profound and mysterious appeal that made people unable to help but explore their meaning.

"Master..."

He shouted, then quickly silenced for fear of disturbing her thoughts.

After a long time, Zheng Quchi threw away the branch in his hand and stood up.

But because she had been squatting for a long time, her blood was not circulating, and she was a little numb for a while. She could only stand up slowly in a strange and rickety posture to relieve the soreness and numbness.

"Master." Gan Xin stared at her nervously, thinking that she was "doing it". Yes, Gan Xin had imagined many things in his mind just now, one of which was "witchcraft".

He thought that Zheng Quchi saw that the situation was not good, so he had no choice but to draw "talismans" and body "practices": "If it doesn't work, don't be superstitious about some heresy."

After finally getting over the pain, Zheng Quchi shook his legs and feet: "What are you talking about?"

Seeing her confused look, Gan Xin thought that maybe he had gone astray, so he changed the subject: "Master, what are you painting on the ground?"

Zheng Quchi said, "I am calculating the optimal shooting range and calculating combat effectiveness through differential equations...Forget it, to put it simply, a great man once said that weapons are an important factor in war, but they are not the decisive factor. The deciding factor is people, not things.”

Gan Xin didn't understand, but felt that she was talking about a very profound issue.

"So, what conclusion did Master come to?"

"Weapons and equipment, strategy and tactics, personnel quality, spiritual will, etc. will all determine the outcome of a war. Weapons and equipment have caught up. I believe in Yu Wensheng's strategy and tactics. The quality of the personnel and the spiritual will are superior..." She bent her eyes at Gan Xin and smiled: "Everything is ready, only the east wind blows."

Gan Xin looked at her quietly: "What is Dongfeng?" "I don't know, maybe it's a key decision, or maybe it's a self-interested accident. In short, you will know at that moment."

Gan Xin tried hard to understand her thoughts, her words, and her reasoning. After a long while, his eyes were complicated and he said: "Master, do you plan to wait here forever, waiting for that moment to come?"

Zheng Quchi tapped the ground with his foot: "I found that I am not useless. I have clearly analyzed the battlefield now. I can see through the land of life and death far better than the soldiers. If I can finally help I hope I can help eventually."

Understanding her determination, Gan Xin sighed and finally stopped trying to persuade her.

"Yu Wensheng once said that when both sides have equal advanced weapons and armor, the same intensity of training, and the same actual combat training, but after a battle, some people are completely defeated, and some people are talking and laughing, and their boats and oars are wiped out. The reason is efficiency. In other words, preparation and preparation in advance, and using all your strength to hit the bullseye, can suppress and win."

Hearing this, Gan Xin looked at her helplessly: "Master, your apprentice has not loved reading since he was a child. So you are the only one who can quickly understand what Yu Wensheng said."

Zheng Quchi really didn't realize how high her Chinese proficiency was, and it all depended on the background of this backward era.

"What I mean is that Yu Wensheng is born with a general's mind. He must be fully prepared to ambush here. I can't help with anything else. Let's just focus on the mistakes and make up for them."

Sure enough, communication must be divided among people, otherwise communication will be ineffective.

A long time after the master and apprentice reached an agreement, they finally saw the Beiyuan Army who had been "lured" to appear.

Zheng Quchi and Gan Xin specially picked a high ground. Their position had a relatively wide view and they could immediately see the enemies arriving in the distance.

The only drawback is that it is far away, so Ye Jun's scouts did not choose this place as a reconnaissance point, but the small pine forest and mid-mountain slope not far away.

Yes, Zheng Quchi had excellent eyesight and captured the figures of several Ye troops while observing the surrounding terrain.

"They should arrive at the location of Ye's army in about a quarter of an hour. Do you think there will be any traps ahead, such as a large-scale killing trap, or a net filled with sharp weapons falling from the sky, or..."

"Master, with such a short time, the Ye Army has no time to set up such a large killing trap. What's more, the terrain here is flat and open, clearly visible at a glance, and it is a nearby territory that the Ye Army is familiar with. Doing so may not be worth the gain."

Although Gan Xin didn't know anything about military strategy, he had experience in killing people. In addition to knowledge, the layout of traps required labor. On the other hand, he didn't do anything on the territory that others were familiar with, because any trap could not be concealed. If the opponent notices something is wrong, it will be difficult to achieve the ideal surprise assassination effect.

"makes sense."

Sure enough, the next Beiyuan Army marched across the plains without any obstruction. The troops divided into several groups on the mountain trail followed the winding path to their destination, and finally converged into a "thick" big snake.

"Their troops and horses are very long..."

Zheng Quchi grimaced and vomited out with difficulty.

"I'm afraid there are more than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, right?" Gan Xin said uncertainly.

Both of them were civilians, and the largest crowds they had ever seen were only three to five hundred, three to five thousand. Now they saw a huge army of real scale being dispatched, and the earth-shaking momentum was really shocking. Fear of being small.

"Apprentice may have to tell the truth again..." Gan Xin opened his mouth, but before he could say it, Zheng Quchi turned around and climbed up the tree again. He swallowed the words he spoke. Go back: "Be careful..."

Zheng Quchi, who was standing higher up, pulled open the branches, narrowed his eyes and looked at the Beiyuan army. While observing the number of troops sent by the opponent, the way the troops were arranged, and the distribution of each army, he tried hard to search for the one among them. A familiar figure.
