Lord of Douluo

Chapter 307: The Beginning of the War
"Teacher, you are here, please take a seat." Seeing Tang San coming, Xue Beng led him to sit on the main seat on his left.

The army has marched for a day, so it is 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 the situation of traveling fast, which is unrealistic.

Sharpening knives does not cut firewood by mistake, the Heaven Dou Empire itself is not sure to contend against the spirit master legion of Wuhun Temple, how dare it carelessly consume its own combat power now.

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

Zhou Yu sat in a random position. Although the hundreds of generals were a little noisy, everyone was very particular about their seats.

The position of height and weight is naturally closer to Xue Beng's position, Xue Beng's right sits the master, while the left side is empty, this is the position specially prepared for Tang San.

Although most people had complaints in their hearts, they didn't dare to speak out because of Tang San's identity and strength.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand marching, so leave me alone, it's important."

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

The emperor teacher, the teacher of the king of a country, just by this status alone, he is under one person and above ten thousand people, let alone he is also the inheritor of Sea God.

The former is fine, but the latter is very special. Just like what Bo Saixi said, no one on Sea God Island is eligible to accept his courtesy, and naturally Xue Beng is not eligible either.

When Tang San sat down, purple eyes flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Zhou Yu indiscernibly, seeing that the latter was holding Dai Shu without any response, and didn't say anything.

Xue Beng nodded, his majestic eyes swept over the people seated, and for a moment, the entire big tent quickly fell silent.

Even the faint sound of breathing is particularly obvious.

"call……"

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

Meditation can't replace sleep to restore mental strength, probably because she was really tired, and the little girl fell asleep just lying in Zhou Yu's arms.

The even breathing sound caught the attention of several generals nearby, and Zhou Yu was a little embarrassed for a while, showing a dumbfounding expression.

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

He said loudly: "Our army consists of ten thousand people as a legion, and you are all the leaders of the legion. At present, our army has marched to five days away from the Wuhun Empire, and the war is about to break out. The purpose of calling all generals here today is to make specific tactical arrangements. Collect your ideas. I won’t go into details about the importance of this battle to the empire. If you win this battle, after returning, I will reward you for your meritorious service and give you the title of meritorious minister.”

Benefits are always a constant topic, and sometimes driving ducks to the shelves is far less practical than persuading them.

An inspiring proclamation before the stand is important, just like Tang San's majestic shout during the day that attracted millions of troops.

Temporary aura can only be used in battle, and it is often the preparation stage that really determines the outcome of a war.

"Long live your majesty, long live, long live."

"Starting up Your Majesty, our army is currently marching normally. According to reports from scouts, the Spirit Empire has gathered a large army at Jialin Pass."

Marshal Ge Long, a middle-aged man in his 50s, is also No.1 in military affairs of the Tiandou Empire. The master is only No.1 in theory, and his real war experience is no different from that of a rookie like Tang San.

Ge Long was an upright man, he stood up and clasped his fists to speak, but at the same time he did not forget to glance at Tang San indifferently, obviously not interested in this young man who was sitting at the top of him.

On the contrary, they didn't have any strange attitude towards Zhou Yu. Even though Dai Shu was really rude before, these more than a hundred generals didn't 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 Heaven Dou Empire, Marshal Ge Long, known as the Dragon God of Nine Lives, It is also No.1 in the empire, the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Marshal Ge Long, please briefly analyze the military configuration of the Wuhun Empire."

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

Zhou Yu was even more curious about the reactions of these people. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so calm. Even Tang San, the emperor teacher, complained quite a bit. Why did he come to him instead...

"Your Majesty, according to our analysis and the calculation of those traitors, the Spirit Empire has gathered more than ten kingdoms and duchies, but the total number of troops that can actually be sent to the battlefield is no more than 60. This should be what they can use in war The limit number. Coupled with the north-south attack of the Star Luo Empire and our army, they can only meet us with about 30, which is less than one-third of our army."

"However, Jialinguan is located in the Tianling Mountains, and the city built on the mountain is extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the Soul Master Legion of the Wuhun Empire, as long as they don't confront our army on the plain before the city, but retreat For the city, even if our army has millions of troops, it is still extremely difficult to break through the enemy's defensive line."

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

As far as the current Heaven Dou Empire is concerned, it is simply a fantasy to be able to win a battle, but Ge Long analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the army to this point, which is also very rare.

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

It was just a simple action, but Xue Beng smiled wryly to himself, and at the same time dispelled his thoughts.

The green invisible barrier cut off the sound, Zhou Yu actually couldn't hear what the people were saying, but only knew what they were talking through mental detection.

Turning to Ge Long, he said, "Since that's the 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 didn't say anything, and continued to say to Xue Beng: "I have 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. After the success, the army will also go deep into the Fortress of the Spirit Empire. The terrain there is mostly hills, valleys, and basins. It is not conducive to our army fighting, let alone the possibility of being attacked by the enemy. On the other hand, the plains in front of Jialin Pass are more conducive to the army Not to mention combat, after crossing Jialin Pass, it will be bordered by the former Barak Kingdom, which is beneficial for our army to continue to advance. Therefore, it is imperative to break through Jialin Pass. Only by attacking from here can our army gain the greatest benefit. , It is the best policy to retreat or defend."

The words are sharp, well-founded, and everything is just right to point out the problem, and there is also the best solution.

It has to be said that this No.1 in the military affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire still has real materials, even if his strength is not considered strong, only Contra level, but Zhou Yu never thinks that a person's talent depends entirely on a certain aspect judge.

The soul beasts dominated the Douluo Continent in the ancient times, but in the end they were completely conquered by humans in less than 2 years.

In front of these behemoths with a lifespan of 10 years and [-] years, human beings have created the impossible with wisdom.

So Zhou Yu admired Ge Long's talent more, just like Lin Xiao, that monster who is next to a lunatic and a genius.

"What Marshal Ge Long said is very true. The plains around Jialin Pass can fully display our army's combat power, and there are three main cities of our empire stationed there, watching and helping each other. Even if we fail to attack the enemy, we will never give up. thousands of miles."

A [-]-year-old general added that he obviously agreed with Ge Long's statement. Although the people present didn't say anything, the more than a hundred generals are all real materials, and they have their own methods for military tactics.

Xue Beng nodded, and said: "Since that's the case, we will carry out everything according to the original plan. It's just that the terrain of Jialin Pass is steep and built on the hillside. It's hard to break through."

Here comes the practical issue. Xue Beng repeatedly emphasized that these things are not without purpose. He is the emperor, and he is very young, so he doesn't understand these things about marching and fighting.

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

"Your Majesty, right now we are going to wage a war of attrition with the Spirit Empire. The Spirit Empire has not been established for a long time, and its interior is not monolithic. All the kingdoms and principalities have their own selfish motives. Although our army is also attrition, their losses are in the original kingdom and principality. It is inevitable that the troops you belong to will experience uneven damage, once the losses reach a certain level, the spirit of the Wuhun Empire will be in chaos."

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

What is the concept of losing hundreds of thousands of troops to a certain extent?Maybe I don't have much feeling for numbers, but the corpses everywhere, the howling sound and the blood-stained sky are still shocking.

Zhou Yu had seen it before, on the battlefield at the junction of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and that was just a local war involving tens of thousands of people, a natural disaster brought by a plague almost destroyed everyone's will.

Zhou Yu didn't realize that the reason why the generals present didn't get angry with his rudeness was largely because he had saved tens of thousands of soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire!
A pure healer, even if he also helped his enemies, Zhou Yu's behavior undoubtedly won the approval of these generals present who have suffered from the cruel baptism of war.
