Chapter 424: 221: The Plan of Surprise Attack

Bai Mengyang, as an Inborn Grandmaster of the Second realm, is naturally formidable. However, I, Lu Yuan, am not too shabby myself.

Let’s not talk about the combat power of the Inborn Grandmaster. Now, as for my current Immortal Dao Cultivation, although it is still inferior to True Person Anqiu, I can now perform three or five Dao spells.

Never underestimate a person who cultivates both Immortal and martial arts.

Especially this person, who is practicing dual cultivation of Immortal and martial arts, and has not yet discovered his Immortal Dao Cultivation.

In any case, Lu Yuan is confident. If he ever was to cross hands with this Wuan Marquis and got a bit lucky, with his opponent not being prepared for his magical attack, then he could possibly have a 30% chance of killing him.

If his opponent is prepared, he still has a 50% chance of ending in a draw.

Even if his luck is bad and the opponent’s strength is beyond his imagination, he would still have no problem saving his own life and escaping.

Given these considerations, there is naturally no need to be too apprehensive about Bai Mengyang.

And such an attitude, as expected, had its effect.

Yan Wangqiu, who was next to him, saw Lu Yuan’s stance and couldn’t help but feel ashamed. Then they also started to look straight at Bai Mengyang, no longer showing the fear and respect they had previously.

They finally had some semblance of a king’s momentum.

Bai Mengyang noticed the change in the atmosphere, and he couldn’t help but admire Lu Yuan even more, the one who caused it all.

Then in Bai Mengyang’s heart, it became even more resolved. He wanted to get rid of this man.

However, the most pressing task at hand is to repel the Zhou People, not internal conflict.

Hence, Bai Mengyang also showed a friendly attitude, took the three of them, and entered the camp to join the banquet.

The armies of the King of Nanhai and the King of Ninghai naturally have their own well-arranged camp quarters.

After a day of grand feasting, washing the dust away for Lu Yuan and the others, the next day, Bai Mengyang summoned his commanders to discuss military affairs.

“Gentlemen, at present, the twenty-five thousand Northern Invaders, according to my investigation, have all been identified in their respective distributions.”

In the main tent, Bai Mengyang looked at the assembled kings from the three nations and their various levels of commanders. He pointed to the map behind him and said, “This is Jingmen Prefecture, the south gate of Zhou country’s Xiangyang Prefecture, which guards the heart of Jianghan.

If this place is held, Xiangyang Prefecture will be safe.

If this place is lost, our army can directly march in, right under Xiangyang City.

Therefore, in Jingmen Prefecture, the Zhou People have stationed a hundred thousand strong army, led by their former Pillar State Grand General Zhang Chanyi and Left Pillar State Grand General Li Yanjing.

Now, the bulk of this hundred thousand strong army is stationed in and around the city of Dangyang, standing in our path.

Beyond Jingmen Prefecture, to the west, lies Xiangyang Prefecture’s Guining Prefecture.

This place is the western shield of Jingmen Prefecture, and it borders Wushan Prefecture of Xichuan Prefecture. It is a critical location for connecting Xiangyang Prefecture and Xichuan Prefecture, a position of utmost importance.

Therefore, here has the Zhou People’s Right Pillar State Grand General, Gui Lianyun, commanding a fifty thousand strong army in defense.

Further to the west lies Wushan Prefecture.

This Prefecture is the eastern gate of Xichuan Prefecture; the mountains and rivers are steep, and more critically, there is Wushan Pass within its territory. This place is known as one that even a single soldier could defend against ten thousand.

Now, Zhou People’s Rear Pillar State Grand General Yuwen Chong, and Shu thief Li Xiong, lead an army of hundred thousand men stationed in this place.

So in this way, with Guining Prefecture as the center, Jingmen Prefecture and Wushan Prefecture to east and west, Zhou People’s 250,000 strong army, led by five Inborn Grandmasters, is spread over this five-hundred-mile territory.”

Bai Mengyang explained the current situation to everyone.

As Lu Yuan and the others heard his explanation and looked at the map, they immediately understood the current situation.

After explaining the enemy’s situation, Bai Mengyang elaborated on his own side’s arrangements: “Currently, my Elite Army is on a Northern Expedition with two hundred thousand soldiers. The Wucheng Marquis has already led seventy thousand soldiers and with two National Mentors, they have advanced into Wushan Prefecture, to contain the Zhou People there.

The remaining one hundred and thirty thousand of our army, commanded by me and the Martial Proclamation Marquis, have gathered at Dangyang City, facing off against the Zhou People.

With such an arrangement, one would be able to resist the Zhou People, but advancing further would be difficult.

Now that we have the King of Nanhai and the King of Ninghai leading their armies to join us, and the King of Changsha himself is at the front line, this current arrangement can be changed.”

Bai Mengyang came to this point, then looked at Lu Yuan and others, and said: “A few great kings, the Zhou People have a broad range of alliances and mutual support, which makes them rather tricky.

In this Northern Expedition, if we want to break the Zhou People, we must first break their alliance.

To break their alliance, we must first break through Guining.

I intend to dispatch an army to attack Guining, conquer it, and then hold it in order to cut off the Zhou People’s communication between Wushan and Jingmen, making it difficult for their front and rear to support each other.

Then, north from Guining, attack Fangling Prefecture in Xiangyang Prefecture.

Fangling is located upstream of the Han River. Once this place is broken, one can follow the Han River downstream, and in two days, one will be right at the city of Xiangyang.

In this way, with our army threatening the city, the defenders in Jingmen Prefecture on the front line of the Zhou People will surely be terrified and unable to hold on for long.

Under such circumstances, we will launch an attack which will certainly break this city. Then, leading the army to advance north, Xiangyang City might be captured in one fell swoop, capturing this key stronghold in the south of the Zhou People.

If Xiangyang Prefecture falls, the Zhou People will be panicked, and it will naturally be difficult for Xichuan Prefecture to hold out.

Perhaps we don’t even need to send our troops to attack it; the Zhou People themselves might send envoys to seek peace and voluntarily cede the prefecture, recovering our lost territory for us.”

Bai Mengyang elaborated on his strategies, then turned his gaze onto the crowd, finally resting on Lu Yuan.

Everyone saw this and naturally turned their gazes onto Lu Yuan.

Under the numerous gazes, Lu Yuan remained as calm as ever.

In his heart, he figured out. This Wuan Marquis, was counting on him to lead this special army, to execute this special plan.

It also made sense.

Now, within this joint military camp at Dangyang battlefield, there seem to be three hundred and thirty thousand soldiers.
