Chapter 278: Persuasion, Military Strategy, and Volunteering...
"There are at most three hundred people. If there are more, the cave will collapse..."
Three hundred people...
Gu Jingzhi hesitated slightly and asked, "Since you know the specific number, I think you know a lot. How did you find out?"
"Seven years ago, I was ordered to go out on military duty and encountered such heavy snow. I led my men through that trail!"
Walked by?
Gu Jingzhi's eyes lit up. He didn't ask any more questions, but instead said, "If I let you do it again, would you be sure?"
"This……"
The general hesitated, as if the shadow left by the trail in his heart was too heavy.
"Sir, even if we can get through, three hundred people won't be of much use, and there may be dangers along the way!"
Xue Ruhai, standing aside, also said, "Yes, although the enemy has divided its forces, and their main camp doesn't have many troops deployed, they still have thousands of people!"
"General Xue, you should know this! Now our army has no other choice but to win in this dangerous situation! You don't want this battle to end in a hasty manner, do you?"
Gu Jingzhi said solemnly: "If our army is frustrated here this time, the enemy will use the same method to contain our army in the future. Heavy snow is not uncommon in this land. If we let them go this time, it will only embolden them in the future!"
"I just saw it!"
Gu Jingzhi pointed at the map and said, "Although the two peaks are dangerous, our army can easily mobilize a thousand-man team. As long as we spend more time, we can bypass the two peaks and go straight to their heart!"
Gu Jingzhi placed his hand on the enemy’s main camp!
Xue Ruhai nodded and said, "If this thousand-man team appears in the main camp, the enemy forces at Shuangtou Peak will surely be thrown into chaos!"
"Not bad!"
Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "If they come back to help, our army will seize the opportunity to attack. If they don't come back to help, Shuangtou Peak will become an isolated force. Even if we exhaust all our horses to death, we will definitely use the baggage train to supply food to the army and trap them firmly on Shuangtou Peak!"
"pity……"
Xue Ruhai was initially enthusiastic, but then he said with a bit of boredom: "Even if we go around them, a team of a thousand people is still too conspicuous. Once discovered, the strategic purpose will be lost!"
"Not bad!"
A general nodded and said, "Master Gu, you may not know this, but there's a saying here that the enemy dominates the area behind Shuangtou Peak! If they discover our army has risen up, they'll surely flee, and then they'll gather a force of several thousand men to encircle and annihilate our small group! Then Shuangtou Peak will be saved from danger!"
"You all seem to have overlooked a problem!"
Gu Jingzhi pointed at Lingshan and said, "We still have a team of about 300 people here. It shouldn't be difficult for 300 people to hold back his 1,000 people, right?"
To defeat a team of a thousand men with only three hundred men is impossible in this environment, but to hold back a thousand men is not a problem!
Xue Ruhai was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Jingzhi, are you going to deploy these two special forces at the same time?"
"if not?"
Gu Jingzhi looked at Xue Ruhai curiously!
"This……"
He thought that because of the opposition from his generals, Gu Jingzhi had given up the original plan, but he didn't expect that he was using two strategies at the same time. If he did so, the possibility was still very high!
only……
"If that's the case, then all three hundred people will probably die!"
Xue Ruhai sighed softly.
If Gu Jingzhi's strategy was really used, then these three hundred people would be going to die!
Gu Jingzhi asked calmly, "How many prisoners are left on death row?"
"Ok?"
"Are you planning to use the Death Row camp as this surprise force?"
Everyone had experienced it, but Gu Jingzhi nodded calmly.
"No, that's impossible!"
"That's right! It's clearly a suicide mission. Even if they reluctantly agree, what if they run away after going?"
"..."
Xue Ruhai opened his mouth, obviously, he thought so too.
However, Gu Jingzhi's eyes flickered, and he said without a trace of emotion: "Those who have fought within five battles, regardless of victory or defeat, will be exempted from punishment!"
"Those who have experienced six battles will be promoted to a higher level after this battle!"
"Those who have survived seven battles will be promoted two levels, and so on! In other words, among these criminal slaves, those who have survived nine battles will not only be freed from their status as criminal slaves after this battle, but they can also be promoted to the rank of captain of a thousand-man team!"
"To ensure their combat effectiveness, we can equip them with weapons and armor. What do you think?"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward, it has always been like this!
Everyone took a deep breath. If they did that, the reward would be very attractive. You know, how many people work in the army their entire lives and never get promoted to captain?
Although he is only the lowest-ranking captain.
A general immediately asked, "But the fighting strength of the prisoners in this death row camp is uneven. How should we select them?"
Gu Jingzhi replied calmly, "It depends on how many times they have participated in battles. Those who have participated in five battles will be given priority, and the rest can rely on their personal strength!"
These death row prisoners, whose only equipment is a knife, are always at the forefront of every charge. Those who have survived several battles are definitely the elite among the elite!
Add to that the temptation of profit, wouldn't they have to risk their lives?
Xue Ruhai glanced at several senior generals in the army. After considering the matter, they all nodded in agreement. Xue Ruhai immediately stated, "Alright, then let's give it a try! The rest is the thousand-man team that will bypass Shuangtou Peak. Although this team's mission is not as difficult as the Death Row Camp, it is equally dangerous. Anyone willing to volunteer?"
"The general will go where he wishes!"
Two low-level generals stood up, Lin Chong was one of them!
When Gu Jingzhi saw this, his heart warmed slightly, but he also felt a little worried!
This battle is very risky and requires the simultaneous cooperation of two special forces. Otherwise, it will be impossible to achieve the effect he wants. If any one side fails, the risk for the other side will be great!
Especially this team of 1,000 people. If the death row camp cannot appear in time, this team of 1,000 people will be completely exposed to the enemy and will never return.
However, thinking of Gu Huanzhi in the death row camp, he felt a little relieved!
Xue Ruhai looked at Lin Chong and the other two, and felt a little relieved. Someone volunteered, which showed that the morale of the army was still very good!
He thought about it, but hesitated: "Lin Chong, you are extremely brave... I know this, but you are seconded to the northwest after all, I..."
"General!"
Lin Chong shouted, "As a soldier of Great Xia, it doesn't matter which army I belong to. What matters is that I believe my brothers and I are the most suitable for this battle!"
"Brother Lin..."
The general who stood with him was unhappy. Although the two of them had a good relationship, you said you were the most suitable one, but that doesn't mean you don't respect me, your brother, does it?
However, just as he opened his mouth, Lin Chong said, "My five thousand men are all cavalry, and they are fast! General Wu's men are infantry, and they are not suited to long-distance raids..."
"Brother Lin, under the heavy snow, your cavalry has lost all mobility and may not be stronger than the infantry!"
"I only need a thousand men on this trip. If we equip each man with four horses, we won't have to worry about mobility issues at all! Besides, east of Shuangtou Peak, the snow is relatively gentle, so cavalry is the most suitable type of troops for surprise attacks on the enemy!"
"..."
