Chapter 1722: Plan

Xishan Province. This is why we need strong support from the imperial court…”Li Yinhu narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly: "What Dragon Son means is that this king has no foundation in the court, eve...Chapter 1722: Plan

Wu Yong's face was tight, like a piece of burlap, with no expression at all.

But his tightly clenched jaw and fists, betrayed the fact that his mood was far from calm.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Yong said in a low voice, "General Wu, this general is only responsible for assisting, and I am not your subordinate. Please... show me some respect!"

Wu Ban Shan's eyes turned cold when he heard this, "Since we are under the same command, then you must accept the reality of obeying orders like mountains. You said you were responsible for assisting, well, then I ask you to have the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders send a light cavalry unit to support. How is that not assistance Did I ask you to charge headfirst into the Liao army's main force!"

"If you can't even do this, get out of here!"

These words are extremely serious.

Wu Yong's face immediately fell.

It wasn't just him, a group of Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry commanders all had grim faces, their anger boiling over.

"Alright."

Wu Qingscang glanced at King Ning, seeing that the latter still had no expression. He spoke: "We're just discussing solutions, keeping it factual and objective. We aren't involving anything else, nor are we talking about anything else."

Having said that, Wu Qingcang turned to Wu Yong and said, "General Wu Yong, this plan is indeed workable, and it does not violate the agreement of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders not to serve as the main force on the front line. These six thousand men, will you go or not"

Wuyong angrily said, “To have six thousand soldiers assist four thousand, where in the world is there such a saying”

"The soldier exploits the terrain, there is no rule saying that supporting forces must be smaller than the force they support. As long as the operational objectives are achieved, any method can be tried."

"General Wu Yong, this commander asks you again, can you or cannot you"

Wu Yong only felt immense pressure bearing down on him.

Before, Wu Ban Shan and the Jin Jun general argued, he was even happy to fan the flames and make things worse. But somehow, in a matter of one or two sentences, he became the focal point of their anger.

However, he couldn't possibly call the shots on something like this.

Thus, Wu Yong turned his head to look at King Ning.

King Ning said neither coldly nor warmly, "What are you looking at me for How to fight is your generals' business, and I won't interfere. However, since even General Wu thinks this plan is feasible, it must be alright. Your Highness, am I right"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled, "Your Highness flatters me. This palace doesn't know much about warfare, so I never interfere with their decisions."

Speaking of which, King Ning seemed to have agreed.

With the nod of approval from King Ning, everything that followed proceeded naturally.

According to the plan, 30,000 garrison troops will face the main force of the Liao army head-on. This battle will be a strategic retreat, with the main objective being to lure the Liao army into Wulong Mountain!

“The defenders numbered 100,000 and were stationed within Mount Wolong as the main force. In addition, there would be 70,000 soldiers from Gansu and Shaanxi serving as the right wing, and 80,000 troops from the original Yueya Pass garrison forming the left wing. The 150,000 Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry were divided into three parts of 50,000 each, with two parts flanking the left and right wings to conduct encirclement operations, while the remaining 50,000 troops were tasked with cutting off the Liao army's rear route.”

"Wu Qingcang's eyes flashed with determination as he said, "As for the 300,000 Jinyuan army, they will not be divided and will not be divided in advance. They will be ambushed at Wolong Mountain. As long as the Liao army is entangled by my army, then the 300,000 Jinyuan army will take the road to Hujiao Cliff and enter from the southwest side of Wolong Mountain, cooperating with the three armies to tighten the encirclement. In this way, the Liao army will become... a turtle in a jar!", responsible for managing all affairs both within and outside the Eastern Palace. When encountering any matter, you must be calm and collected, avoiding such impulsiveness and impropriety."Although h...
