Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 588: Deep into the North Gate, the strategy of equal division

"You can't take so much with you. It's better to leave some behind. You can fight with 50,000."

In the end, Yelu Sheng decided not to give them so many people.

His attitude immediately made Qilian Wanshan and Hong Dulan somewhat dissatisfied.

Hong Dulan even questioned him.

"Isn't the intelligence we have enough? Why are you retreating now?"

"I'm not retreating, I'm just considering the overall situation."

"Once you're familiar with their tactics, you can inflict damage on the enemy no matter how many men you bring. But if you lose your troops in the rear, you'll be finished if they launch a surprise attack."

His words quickly calmed Hong Dulan and Qilian Wanshan down.

Their biggest need now is survival, not how much damage they can cause to Qin Ming.

After figuring this out, the two men nodded slowly and prepared to lead their 25,000-man troops to attack.

"Okay, fifty thousand is fifty thousand. When are we going to do it?"

"Just tonight, don't give them any more time to react."

After last night's mobilization, they already understood how Qin Ming's battle line was arranged.

All we need to do now is seize the opportunity and score.

"Okay, tonight!"

After making the decision, all three of them started preparing.

Qin Ming also received many battle reports from last night.

When he rushed from the third front to the first front.

Ye Shoujiang has transported all the wounded soldiers from the front line back and has prepared replacement troops.

"How was last night?"

"Not bad, no major losses, just some troops were injured. I've brought them back and let them recuperate."

Ye Shoujiang’s arrangements last night were extremely thorough; both the defense and the pursuit were just bluffs.

It didn't cause much damage.

It also gave the other party the illusion that Qin Ming's new weapon was ineffective.

This is enough to make the other party have bad thoughts.

"When do you think Yelu Sheng and his men will attack?"

Qin Ming looked at Ye Shoujiang curiously. Ye Shoujiang thought for a moment and then slowly said:

"I think it should be tonight. As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. They will go back and redeploy their troops this time, and they should attack again tonight."

"I think so too. It's up to you tonight."

Last night's fight wasn't a big deal.

It was just a brief contact, which did not give Ye Shoujiang much opportunity to perform.

Today's battle is a major challenge for Ye Shoujiang.

He needed to pretend that he was no match for the enemy and lure them all behind the first line of defense while ensuring that his own troops did not suffer too much loss.

This allowed Wu Qingye to take the opportunity to start a war with the cavalry of the nomadic tribes.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm ready."

Ye Shoujiang smiled and nodded. Today he specifically reduced the troop deployment between the various fortresses on the first front line.

The purpose was to allow Yelu Sheng and his troops to find a loophole and rush in as soon as possible.

Qin Ming learned about the subsequent cooperation with him in detail.

He turned around and left.

Returned to the third front where he was.

When passing the second front line on the road, Qin Ming saw many troops ready for battle.

They were all arranged here by Wu Qingye in advance.

Everyone's face was filled with a solemn look.

Qin Ming doesn't need to look at Wu Qingye anymore.

Because he was originally good at guerrilla warfare in the wild.

Even if the enemy sent a group of cavalry, they could still perform well under the leadership of Feng Ziying and Wu Qingye.

In the evening, Yelu Sheng, Hong Dulan and Qilian Wanshan gathered all the troops in the camps together.

The size of their troops also reached as many as 100,000.

However, half of these 100,000 troops will be under the command of Yelu Sheng, guarding their rear and providing support to Hongdu Lan and Qilian Wanshan at any time.

"If you notice anything is wrong, retreat immediately. Don't fight to the death."

Before leaving, Yelu Sheng was still a little worried.

"understood."

Hong Dulan and Qilian Wanshan both thought they were fully prepared.

Even if we are not well prepared, there is still Yelu Sheng behind us to protect us.

No matter what, it is impossible for all of them to be lost on the northern battlefield.

As a result, the two of them seemed to be more relaxed.

"It's almost time, get ready to go."

Qilian Wanshan excitedly waved to the troops behind him.

The strategy they formulated was to attack Qin Ming's front from two directions.

Although the three royal tents did not know whether there were any troops behind Qin Ming's front line.

But it takes a lot of effort to maintain such a long front and gradually advance forward.

I think there shouldn't be many elite troops behind Qin Ming.

So they prepared to advance from two opposite directions, so as to make Qin Ming's troops exhausted.

"Let's say goodbye here. If you encounter any danger, arrange for someone to find Yelu Sheng in time."

Arriving at the outskirts of Qin Ming's front, Hong Dulan turned around and shouted to Qilian Wanshan.

"Of course."

The two parted ways again.

At the same time, a team in the distance was observing their whereabouts with binoculars.

It is absolutely impossible for such a large-scale troop mobilization to not arouse Qin Ming's vigilance.

Two hours ago, Ye Shoujiang had already arranged a group of soldiers with binoculars and telegraph machines.

Stationed in the underground bunker here.

The purpose is to further grasp the enemy's movements, so as to minimize the casualties of the Daqian troops.

"The general and his men have already arranged for people to come here. Judging from the east and west directions, the location should be Hanshui Pass and Jian'an Pass."

Ye Shoujiang had already arranged personnel at these two locations and had them leave some loopholes for the other side to exploit.

"According to the original plan, let them make an opening."

After receiving the news, Ye Shoujiang was not surprised at all. He had anticipated these two completely opposite routes long ago.

"Yes."

The soldiers under his command quickly sent the telegram.

At the same time, hundreds of telegrams were still coming to Ye Shoujiang.

Almost every minute and every second, there were people lining up to report the battle situation on the front line to Ye Shoujiang.

If an ordinary person were faced with such a huge amount of information, he or she would probably have panicked and even found it difficult to maintain his or her train of thought.

But the person sitting in front of them was Ye Shoujiang, the most important person chosen by Qin Ming to implement this plan.

Qin Ming had seen his strength before on the battlefield of Yan Dynasty.

When Ye Shoujiang heard each piece of news, he quickly made arrangements for his subordinates without any hesitation.

There is a cup of tea next to him. Ye Shoujiang will continue to fight here all night.

After he had fully deployed all the troops, the troops of Qilian Wanshan and Hong Dulan finally arrived at the east and west passes.
