The Demon King of Douluo

Chapter 307 The Beginning of the War

Teacher, you are here, please take a seat. Seeing Tang San arrive, Xue Beng led him to sit on the main seat on his left.

The army has been marching for a day, so it is naturally impossible to travel overnight at night, and it is not a rush march. The daily consumption of this million-strong army is an astronomical figure, let alone moving quickly, which is unrealistic.

The Heaven Dou Empire itself has no confidence in being able to compete with the Spirit Master Legion of the Spirit Hall, so how dare it ignore the loss of its own combat power now.

As night fell, seeing the Jialing Pass approaching, Xue Beng summoned all the generals to the main tent. The tent was made of some unknown soul beast leather, and the material was extremely tough.

Zhou Yu sat in a random position. Although these more than a hundred generals were a little noisy, everyone's seat was very particular.

The higher the position, the higher the authority. Naturally, the position was closer to Xue Beng. The master sat on the right side of Xue Beng, while the left side was empty. This was the position specially prepared for Tang San.

Although most people had some complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to speak out due to Tang San's identity and strength.

Your Majesty, I don't understand marching. Please leave me alone. Business is more important.

Tang San didn't refuse. With his current status and strength, he was qualified to sit here.

Emperor's Master, the teacher of the king of a country. With this status alone, he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, not to mention that he is also the inheritor of Poseidon.

The former is okay, but the latter is very special. Just like Bo Saixi said, no one on Poseidon Island is qualified to receive his courtesy, and Xue Beng is naturally not qualified either.

As Tang San sat down, a flash of purple light flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Zhou Yu imperceptibly. Seeing that the latter was holding Dai Shu without any reaction, he didn't say anything.

Xue Beng nodded, and his majestic eyes swept over the people sitting down. For a moment, the entire tent quickly became quiet.

Even the subtle sound of breathing was particularly obvious.

call……

Zhou Yu's expression froze. Dai Shu, a little girl, had been practicing on the carriage for a day. Zhou Yu was invited by Xue Beng to attend the meeting, but she insisted on following him.

Meditation cannot replace sleep to restore mental strength. She was probably really tired, so the little girl actually fell asleep lying in Zhou Yu's arms.

The even breathing aroused the side glances of several generals nearby. Zhou Yu felt a little embarrassed for a moment, with an expression that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xue Beng nodded, as if he didn't see this scene at all.

He said loudly: Our army consists of ten thousand people, and each of you is the leader of the legion. Our army is currently five days away from the Spirit Empire, and the war is about to break out. The purpose of calling all the generals here today is to make specific tactical arrangements. Let's brainstorm. I won't go into details about the importance of this battle to the empire. If we win this battle, after we go back, I will reward the meritorious officials and give them titles.

Benefits are always a constant topic, and sometimes it is far less practical to catch a duck and get it on the shelves than to follow the temptation.

An inspiring declaration in front of the station is of course important, just like Tang San's majestic shout during the day to arouse the momentum of a million troops.

Momentary momentum can only affect the moment of battle. What really determines the outcome of a war is often the preparation stage.

Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty.

Your Majesty, our army is currently marching normally. According to reports from scouts, the Wuhun Empire has gathered a large army at Jialing Pass.

Marshal Ge Long, a middle-aged man in his fifties, is also the number one person in the Tiandou Empire's military field. The master is only the number one person in theory. In terms of real war experience, there is no difference between him and a novice like Tang San.

Ge Long was an upright person. When he stood up and spoke with his fists clasped, he did not forget to glance at Tang San indifferently. He was obviously not interested in this young man sitting in the first place above him.

On the contrary, there was no strange attitude towards Zhou Yu. Even though Dai Shu was indeed rude before, these more than a hundred generals did not say anything.

Although his movements were small, Ge Long would not hide his emotions. Xue Beng also saw this and explained to Tang San: This is the pillar of the Tiandou Empire, Marshal Ge Long, known as the Nine-Life Dragon God. He is also the number one person in the empire and the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Marshal Ge Long, please briefly analyze the military configuration of the Spirit Empire.

Zhou Yu calmly raised his head and looked at the opposite side. His position was very special. He was second on the right and happened to be second to the master. As for why Xue Beng arranged it this way, he didn't know the reason.

Zhou Yu was even more curious about the reactions of these people. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be so calm. Even Tang San, the imperial master, complained quite a bit about why he came to him instead...

Your Majesty, according to our analysis and calculations of those who have betrayed the country, the Wuhun Empire has gathered more than ten kingdoms and principalities, but the actual number of troops that can be sent to the battlefield does not exceed 600,000. This should be the number they can use in the war. The limit number within. Coupled with the North-South attack between the Star Luo Empire and our army, they can only attack us with about 300,000 troops, which is less than one-third of our army.

But Jialinguan is located in the Tianling Mountains. The city built on the mountain is extremely steep and difficult to defend. With the spirit master army of the Wuhun Empire, as long as they do not confront our army head-on on the plain in front of the city, they can retreat instead. In this city, even if we have a million-strong army, it will be extremely difficult to break through the enemy’s defense line.”

Ge Long was right. Zhou Yu didn't understand this, but he still agreed with this statement.

For the current Tiandou Empire, it is simply impossible to win a battle, but it is rare for Gelong to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the army to this point.

Xue Beng glanced at Zhou Yu calmly, as if he wanted to say something, but found that Zhou Yu raised an index finger, making a silent gesture, and pointed at the little girl lying in his arms.

It was just a simple action, but Xue Beng secretly smiled bitterly, and at the same time gave up his idea.

The green invisible barrier blocked the sound. Zhou Yu actually couldn't hear what everyone was saying. He only knew their conversation through mental detection.

He turned to Ge Long and said, In that case, is it possible to bypass the Tianling Mountains and attack from other directions?

This time, Ge Long frowned slightly, but in the end he said nothing and continued to say to Xue Beng: I have also considered this issue, but the feasibility is very low. Let's not talk about how long it will take for the army to bypass the Tianling Mountains. Even if After success, the army will also go deep into the territory of the Spirit Empire. The terrain there is mostly hills, valleys, and basins. It is not conducive to our army's combat, not to mention the possibility of being attacked from both sides. On the other hand, the plain in front of Jialin Pass is more conducive to the army. Not to mention the battle, after crossing the Jialing Pass, it borders the former Balak Kingdom, which is conducive to our army's continued march. Therefore, it is imperative to break the Jialing Pass. Only by attacking from here can our army obtain the greatest benefits, and we can attack , retreat can be defended, which is the best policy.

The words are sharp and well-founded. They clearly point out the problem and have the best solution.

It has to be said that the top military figure in the Tiandou Empire still has real talents. Even though his strength is not very strong, only Contra level, Zhou Yu never thinks that a person's talent depends entirely on one aspect. judge.

The soul beast clan dominated the Douluo Continent throughout ancient times, but was eventually completely conquered by humans in less than 20,000 years.

In the face of these behemoths that can live for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, human beings have used their wisdom to create the impossible.

Therefore, Zhou Yu admires talents like Ge Long even more, just like Lin Xiao, that monster who is a madman and a genius.

What Marshal Ge Long said is absolutely true. The plains before and after Jialinguan can fully display the combat power of our army. With the three main cities of our empire stationed there to help each other, even if we fail to attack the enemy, we will never be defeated. Thousands of miles.”

A seventy-year-old general added, obviously he agreed with Ge Long's statement. Although those present did not say anything, the more than 100 generals here are all real materials and have their own methods for military tactics.

Xue Beng nodded and said: In that case, we will carry out everything as planned. However, the terrain of Jialinguan Pass is steep and built on the mountain. The city is hundreds of feet high and hundreds of feet wide. Facing the Soul Master Legion of the Spirit Empire, our army wants to It’s very difficult to break through.”

Now comes the practical question. Xue Beng's repeated emphasis on these matters is of course not without purpose. He is the emperor, and he is very young and does not understand these things about marching and fighting.

But he is a smart man who knows what he should do and how to be a good emperor.

Your Majesty, right now we are going to fight a war of attrition with the Wuhun Empire. The Wuhun Empire has not been established for a long time, and its internal affairs are not monolithic. Each kingdom and principality has its own selfish interests. Although our army also suffered losses, their losses occurred in the original kingdoms and principalities. The armies to which they belong will inevitably suffer uneven damage, and once the losses reach a certain level, the morale of the military within the Spirit Empire will be in chaos.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, but still didn't say anything in the end.

What is the concept of losing hundreds of thousands of troops to a certain extent? You may not have much feeling for the numbers, but the corpses strewn on the ground, the cries and the blood-stained sky are still shocking.

Zhou Yu once saw the battlefield at the junction of the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and it was just a local war involving tens of thousands of people. The natural disaster caused by a plague almost destroyed everyone's will.

Zhou Yu didn't realize that the reason why the generals here were not angry at his rudeness was largely because he had saved tens of thousands of soldiers from the Tiandou Empire!

A pure healer, even though he also helped his enemies, Zhou Yu's actions undoubtedly won the recognition of the generals here who have been baptized by the cruelty of war.
