Devil's Concubine

Chapter 237 Playing with Fire and Self-immolation (2)
Although he thought of something, he didn't dare to say it.

Mo Ranchen was not surprised. After all, the war was bloody and cruel, and it was not a child's play. He said again: "In addition to the absolute strength contest, it is also a psychological contest. Play a game of chess with Qi Yifeng."

"Qi's soldiers are good and strong, they are coming fiercely, and they are bound to win. At this time, it is the time when the spirit is at its peak. If we send troops to Shacheng and Shancheng at the first time, we will immediately fall into a deadly battle. The flag will not die down. And our army has come from a long distance and traveled long distances. It is the time when we are most exhausted. Qi is ready to go, like a wolf like a tiger. It is extremely unwise to fight at this time."

"The army bypassed Niucheng and stationed in Dancheng. It seems unbelievable, and it seems that all the advantages in the early stage have been thrown away, but have you ever thought about one thing? Not stationing in Niucheng is precisely using Niucheng as a buffer. As long as our army does not move, the army of Qi will not dare to move rashly."

Zhou Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said: "According to His Highness, it is not to abandon Shacheng and Shancheng, but to use these two cities as fulcrums to pry open the gap in Qi's army?"

Mo Ranchen nodded in satisfaction, and said: "It's a pity to abandon Yuncheng, Shacheng and Shancheng, but without these three cities as touchstones, how can we test Qi's determination and combat effectiveness?"

Zhou Yao understood a little bit, but he was still puzzled. He asked suspiciously: "What will happen if the army of Qi State goes down to two more cities? Moreover, the army of Qi State is extremely cruel and takes pleasure in slaughtering cities. If Shacheng and Shancheng fall , I'm afraid it will be a big blow to our army's morale?"

What he said was cautious, but it was also dignified enough. Obviously, he didn't agree with Mo Ranchen's views very much, and he still had a little rejection.

"Although Shacheng and Shancheng are touchstones, they are not in Qi's pocket." Mo Ranchen said this, looked up at Zhou Yao, and then said: "The general has led troops for many years, since he knows the morale and morale of the army. Don’t you ever wonder why I didn’t reinforce them, but put Shacheng and Shancheng on fire instead?”

Zhou Yao's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Mo Ranchen was dissatisfied with him, he frowned and thought hard, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Your Highness means that at the cost of the sand city and the mountain city, the Qi State's attack will be brought down." Rhythm, hit the spirit of the Qi army?"

After finishing speaking, he muttered to himself again: "But it's not right, the absolute strength of a 70 army versus a 30 army is too great. One is not good. Shacheng and Shancheng have instead become stepping stones for the Qi army. One will eliminate the other." On the contrary, it will weaken the momentum of our army."

At this time, Li Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "General Zhou, I do understand why His Highness is stationed in Dancheng instead of Niucheng."

"Why?" Zhou Yao opened his mouth and asked.

Li Yu said: "It seems that there is a Niucheng between Shacheng, Shancheng and Dancheng, but Niucheng is not the only way between the two. The army can completely bypass Niucheng if it starts from Dancheng. , directly into Shacheng and Shancheng."

Zhou Yao was puzzled at first, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he finally understood.

He interjected: "Back then, Wang with a different surname used to dig rocks and open a mountain road. How could I even forget this." He looked frustrated.

Mo Ranchen saw that the time was almost up, so he said directly: "The road dug by Wang Yixing is indeed an opportunity, but this is not my original intention. My idea is very simple. The army is stationed in Dancheng. When Qi Yifeng plays chess, he naturally wants to lay a huge ambush."

Seeing Zhou Yao and the three of them looking at him, he said again: "The army rushed all the way against time, not to reinforce Shacheng and Shancheng, but to give Qi Yifeng an illusion and to plant a solid rear. The 70 troops are attacking the city with all their strength, and as long as we have the rear, Shacheng and Shancheng will have the confidence to defend the city to the death."

When the three of Zhou Yao heard this, their backs were covered in cold sweat.

Mo Ranchen regards the sand city and the mountain city as touchstones, and it is really a touchstone. He did not consider saving these two cities, but at the cost of the 30 troops of the two cities, he held back the army of Qi State. If the army of Qi State 70 In the battle against the 30 army of the Molong Kingdom, under the condition of being unable to attack for a long time, the morale of the army will inevitably be impetuous and the morale of the army will be in turmoil. At that time, it is also the best time for the army of the Molong Kingdom to counterattack.

But where did Mo Ranchen get his confidence?

Zhou Yao was puzzled, and so were Li Yu and Pan Jie, but no one dared to ask.

Seeing the reaction of the three of them, Mo Ranchen's voice became a little lighter, without a trace of fireworks, but with the inevitable determination to move forward.

"Yuncheng, Shacheng, and Shancheng are the touchstones for Qi's army, while Niucheng is a stumbling block, and Dancheng is the final battleground."

What Mo Ranchen wants is to set the stage for the First World War, to turn the tide, to draw this war to an end in Dancheng, and to restore the Molong Kingdom to a bright future.

When Zhou Yao and the others heard this, their faces became even more serious.

Taking Dancheng as the place of decisive battle, although the doubts of the three of them were solved, but the hearts of the three of them became more and more tense.

Even if Shacheng and Shancheng can stand in a stalemate for ten days, wouldn't it be too radical and risky to start a decisive battle with Qi after ten days?

Of course Mo Ranchen knew that it was very risky to do so, but what he wanted was this effect, leaving no way out for himself, and the same, leaving Qi Guo nowhere to go.

Since this battle is unavoidable, if we want to fight, we must hit Qi's pain point!
The three of Zhou Yao left with heavy steps. Although they understood Mo Ranchen's intentions, the burden on their shoulders was even heavier, and they had to be deployed in advance.

As soon as the three of them left, Mo Fei, dressed in black, quietly appeared in the yard.

"Your Highness, a letter from Mingyue City." Mo Fei said respectfully.

He handed over the envelope, Mo Ranchen took it, tore it open, his face changed slightly.

"Who gave you this letter?" He asked anxiously, the hand holding the envelope trembling slightly.
