When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

But the only thing he didn't know about the strength of the Xin clan was that he could only use common sense that he could understand to guess how many soldiers and horses the Xin clan had.

And what Atan is most worried about is that the Xin family has invested a large number of troops.

The Guzhu clan and the Shanrong clan are also old rivals. The Guzhu clan can be directly defeated by the Youxin clan. The Shanrong clan is much weaker than the Guzhu clan. If they fight head-on with the Youxin clan, they really have no chance of winning.

So... we must be careful about the main force of the Xin family. No matter who is the main force in the west or the north, it goes without saying that "3000 people" have been invested in both.

At least that's the information collected from the North. There are more than 1000 people in the North.

Then including logistics and so on, it will be at least 3000 people.

As for the western branch of the Lingzhi clan, the number of warriors and logistics included totaled three thousand. At this level, was it a war or a genocide?

OK!
But the guess is correct, but Atan ignored it. Under the leadership of Xin Qu, the Xin family became a being who was extremely good at provoking civil strife and helping you attract your enemies.

In Xin Qu's eyes, the so-called war means using more to fight against fewer, relying on the strong to bully the weak, and using all possible means.

Then win over all the people you can win over, it doesn't matter even if they are untrustworthy, it doesn't matter if you fish for fish, if you use it well, all the people will be pawns.

Because Xin Qu taught them, the army was organized into three levels: core, obedient servants, disobedient servants, coalition forces, and civilians in the occupied areas.

Therefore, when fighting, first use the civilians in the occupied areas to fill the ravines and take spears, and then transfer the grain to the core and obedient and trustworthy servants to do this with some civilians.

Therefore, Northern Shuyan only had more than 100 people, but he actually snowballed and recruited a small 2000 people, using this method.

Any tribe that can occupy a nearby area must have a bunch of conquered tribes below. Otherwise, why would you let others give you the best territory to live in, and then let them starve and suffer nearby?
Therefore, among this group of people, there are people who can be attracted. You can promise them to send troops, or persuade them to send troops, as long as you promise them the benefits they want.

You Xin's family doesn't have much interest in Shanli now, so any promise can be given, as long as it doesn't touch the foundation of You Xin's family.

Therefore, after coercion and inducement, several wars were used to smash the enemy's powerful "filter" and let the stronger "Youxin clan" rescue them, showing that they had no ambition for local needs.

For example, this time the North has been using the banner of "Lingzhi Clan" from beginning to end. The Xin family is only responsible for helping to rescue them, and they don't care about the rest. So for these local leaders, it is very important to help the Youxin family to kill Wuwen. The Xin family will have to leave sooner or later, because there are few of them, and the Lingzhi family is also an old rival or an old friend, so they know each other well, but it's nothing more.

So at this time, the cards of all parties are revealed, and the odds are gradually revealed. It depends on whether you bet on the banker or the player.

In short, after Atan curbed the chaotic thoughts of the elders.

Immediately ordered to set fire to the temporary stockade placed in front of the Luanshui branch to block Shi Wu's possible pursuit.

Then he quickly retreated to the village on the east bank of Changshan Valley.

Not long after he came back, news came from the north that the Lingzhi clan's flag had entered the mountains, and more than 1000 people were cutting trees to clear the way, and there were people all over the mountains and plains.

In addition to clearing the way, they also threw torches and kerosene in the woods, preparing to burn the woods.

This frightened the people who were ambush in the mountains, and they all retreated to the south ridgeline in the east, not daring to go near the west.

"These bastards! No sneak attack at this time! What are they thinking!" Atan was so angry that he yelled, but there was nothing he could do, because the tribes that cooperated with his ambush were not under his direct command. They were just those who liked fishing and Disobedient servant.

It's not all one intention, it's just that they are forced to work due to the Wu Zhong clan's power, but if they want them to contribute - they have to pay more.

The benefit is where they are.

There was no other way. Atan could only arrange for part of the team to go north to block the road.

but……

They may not have noticed that Kuekong Mountain-Bixia Mountain is a trapezoidal mountain with two roads.

Shu Yan arranged for several Lin Di to walk for a day, walked through the West Road Mountain Col, came to the rear of the army, and handed Shu Yan's letter to Shi Wu.

Shi Wu held the bamboo slips and stood in front of the blazing Atan Village. He walked around for a while under the firelight. His brows tightened several times, but in the end he nodded and said, "Try, let him prepare the bamboo raft. I will add two hundred elites to him, and then we will go to the main road of Luanshui to Baitou Forest. If there is no chance, let him go out of the mountain along the main road, inform the clan leader of the news in the mountain, and ask the clan leader how to deal with it. "

"Well, this is the recruitment order. From now on, Che Baihu will take over the northern battlefield as the temporary flag commander."

Soon, the man got two military orders from Shi Wu, then saluted and left.

After Shi Wu finished doing this, he turned around and looked at the ruins that had been gradually extinguished. He ordered an earthen kiln to be dug and started burning charcoal, and then the confrontation began.

And he is preparing to join forces with the northern flag leader Che Baihu to build a "6000-[-]-strong" force to attract more enemies and create opportunities in the direction of Baektoulin.

The Luan River is the main water flow area in the north, while Shi Wu's main attack area is the intermittent mountain valley in the south, where there are not many tribes living there.

I originally thought that there was little defense here, but I didn't expect that the other party thought the same way. With so many people ambushed, it seemed that they really expected that they would come here.

So, in that case, let's do the opposite. Since Shu Yan also believes that the northern Luanshui fast raft can directly hit Baitou Forest, then he will cooperate.

"Start tomorrow and attack with all your strength. Be prepared for the possibility of all the main forces of Atan arriving."

Shi Wu summoned the elders of the Lingzhi clan and told them what would happen next.

At dawn the next day, Shi Wu's men began to wade into the river, and the two sides began to shoot at each other in the river.

Then some armored soldiers crossed the river and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

"We can't let them come over! Fight back!" Atan yelled and ordered more people to go up. "They have limited numbers now, use them up! Quick! Come on three or four together and kill them!"

After fighting all morning, Shi Wu ordered his men to retreat.

Then we had a meal and rested in the military camp. There was no movement in the afternoon.

"It's strange, why don't we fight?" A Tan held it in all afternoon, thinking that the other party was going to fight, but to his surprise, no one came over in the afternoon.

It was almost dusk, and when the smoke rose, Atan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the person was still there.

"Military Sima, the other party is also angry."

"Calculate the time and get ready to take action. Even if they don't get enough to eat, we'll take our time. The remaining people will catch up on their sleep and prepare for the night battle."

Hearing this, Shi Wu put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and under the light of the lamp oil was written: "Sixteen Questions on Night Raid, author: Xin Qu."

"Yes!"

The group of people immediately went down, but Shi Wu continued to watch. He found that Xin Qu was really powerful and full of conspiracies, but if he really used it, it would often have miraculous results.

"But... I don't know whether Xin Qu did it on purpose or accidentally. The questions that could be answered in one volume were all broken into pieces."

Shi Wu touched his robe, took out a stack of slips, and found a new slip titled: "Thirteen Moves for Sneak Attacks."

Then after confirming it, Shi Wu raised his eyebrows and murmured: "So, is this a reserve? If there is no chance to practice on the battlefield, will it never be found that you deliberately failed to teach everything. Hmm... Then use one question and three moves.

The strategic purpose of Yiwen is: to mobilize the enemy's power and create rescue conditions for Shuyan.

The first move of the sneak attack: a dangerous move with two peaks piercing the ears, and the lone army goes deep.

The second trick of the sneak attack: lure the enemy by betraying your friends and defeat them first in the night attack.

The third move of the sneak attack: a sneak attack with a dragging knife, the enemies swarm, and then use elites to attack from both inside and outside. "(End of chapter)
