Chapter 1117: Strategic Deployment
Chapter 1117: Strategic Deployment
October 1st, 2017
Youzhou, Lingzhi City.
On the eighth day after the appearance of the Foreign Legion in Lingzhi City, the entire city's atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Lu HaiKong, who had been in high spirits due to the emergence of the Purification Talismans, no longer felt the same joy. The reason for this sudden change was the intelligence report delivered by his scouts—an impending army of a million zombies.
This news was merely the trigger, though. What truly concerned Lu HaiKong was the information he received after meeting with Xun You. Immediately after, Lu HaiKong called for an emergency war council.
However, Lu HaiKong's intention for this urgent meeting wasn't to discuss strategies against the zombie army, as he had Xun You and Guo Jia by his side, both of whom had become top-tier strategists in their own right after their previous experiences.
Xun You, in particular, had been instrumental in easing Lu HaiKong's burden, having already begun laying the groundwork for various plans long before this meeting.
Even before Lu HaiKong received the news of the million-zombie army, Xun You had, through careful observation of Du Rouhui and Fang Xuanling's actions, deduced their upcoming strategy.
Despite facing a formidable duo like Du Rouhui and Fang Xuanling, Xun You did not disappoint Lu HaiKong in anticipating the enemy's moves. However, even with this foresight, they didn't necessarily hold a significant advantage. Sometimes, knowing the enemy's intentions could still leave them with a massive headache, and this was precisely the situation Lu HaiKong and his team found themselves in.
Du Rouhui's group was well aware of Xun You's strategic genius and the difficulty of keeping secrets from him. Thus, they decided to reveal their hand.
As the million-zombie army approached, Du Rouhui's forces began their move, clearly exposing their intentions.
In the City Lord's Mansion of Lingzhi City, during the war council, Xun You stood before the gathered warrior generals and revealed Du Rouhui's tactics: "All signs indicate that they have only one plan this time—to replicate their previous strategy in Liaodong, but on a much larger scale!"
"By tomorrow, at the latest, they will commence their operation. They will mobilize their current zombie army of several hundred thousand, combined with the incoming million-zombie force and their entire Foreign Demon Legion, for a full-scale assault."
"This attack will not follow the official road, nor will it focus on breaching the city walls. Instead, they will disperse these two million troops and march directly through the mountain paths, bypassing our defensive lines to strike at the heart of Youbeiping Prefecture!"
Upon hearing Xun You's words, the faces of the veteran generals in attendance paled.
These seasoned warriors understood that the enemy's choice of strategy indicated a do-or-die situation. This tactic left them with only two outcomes: either they would conquer Youbeiping Prefecture and emerge victorious, or they would face complete defeat.
This tactical decision was a high-stakes gamble, and Lu HaiKong's men were well aware that the odds of the enemy winning were not insignificant.
As his own generals looked on in astonishment, Lu HaiKong rose to his feet and swept his gaze across his subordinates.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we all understand the challenges of this battle. The enemy has a two-million-strong army. While we are not afraid of them attacking Lingzhi City with their combined forces, once they disperse and infiltrate our defenses, it will be an unimaginable challenge to stop them, even though we have been preparing for this move from them all this time. Despite reinforcing this defense line repeatedly, it remains a daunting task to halt the advance of these two million zombies."
"But no matter how difficult it is, we must succeed. If even a few thousand of these two million soldiers make it into Youbeiping Prefecture, and there's any mishap in our response, the prefecture could suffer the same fate as Liaoxi and Liaodong. Therefore, we must give it our all in this battle and ensure that not a single one of these two million soldiers enters Youbeiping Prefecture!"
As Lu HaiKong's words echoed, deafening shouts erupted from below, and all the generals pounded their chests in response.
"We will never let the zombies take a step into Youbeiping Prefecture!"
It was as if they were Lu HaiKong's men, and despite knowing the challenges ahead, these generals maintained their high morale.
After a satisfied glance at his subordinates, Lu HaiKong signaled to Xun You that he could begin the arrangements.
With Lu HaiKong's approval, Xun You nodded and promptly stepped forward to deploy Lu HaiKong's troops and generals.
It was evident that Xun You and his team had anticipated Du Rouhui's strategy and had likely begun preparations since Xun You's arrival in Lingzhi City. Therefore, when they witnessed the enemy's grand strategy, Xun You's side remained calm and composed.
Based on Xun You's previous arrangements and the intelligence they currently possessed, Xun You meticulously began a complex and detailed deployment after deducing the enemy's movement patterns.
During Xun You's arrangements, Lu HaiKong's generals realized that Xun You had made extensive preparations along their defense line.
In the OneSixOneNineBookBarReadNoErrorVersion!
There were at least hundreds of interception points and traps, each guarded and set up by individuals. Xun You's task was to reinforce the key areas that required extra protection.
As Xun You deployed his troops, he also took out a map, marking each location he set up.
After Xun You's hour-long deployment, nearly all of Lu HaiKong's generals were assigned their positions, and the map was now covered in a dense network of dots.
Anyone who saw this intricate and vast network couldn't help but exclaim in awe, feeling admiration for Xun You's meticulous planning.
At the same time, as Lu HaiKong's generals observed the massive network, their confidence soared. With such a well-thought-out strategy, even a two-million-strong zombie army would find it impossible to breach their defenses!
