"The first step in our plan for beheading the enemy has to be to let them think we are going to go through with it. So, we need to first burn the entire Garrison Camp. " Bai Yuhao said something surprising as soon as he said it.
"Burn their Garrison Camp? "What kind of plan is this …" Vice Commander Chen and the other vice commander looked at Bai Yuhao in disbelief. They all thought that Bai Yuhao was just joking, because once the Garrison Camp was burnt down, there would be no way for them to retreat.
"After we burn our Garrison Camp, the great army of Woodgod Kingdom will definitely take action. According to my estimations, they will first seal off these few important routes on the east and west sides of the Dismounting Slope, preventing us from breaking out." Bai Yuhao ignored Vice Commander Chen's doubts and pointed at the map a few times. Indicate
"Once the great forces of Woodgod Kingdom seal off these few important routes, they will definitely attack us from both sides, making it impossible for us to advance or retreat. At this time, we can begin our second step of plan." Bai Yuhao continued.
"Wouldn't we be trapped in a pincer attack?" Ma Lan questioned.
"That's right, we are going to be attacked from the front and the back. In order to seal off the important routes on the east and west sides of the Dismounting Slope, the Woodgod Kingdom Army must have at least three thousand troops on each side of the Dismounting Slope and to pincer us, we must have at least over ten thousand troops. This way, the total strength of the Woodgod Kingdom Army at the back of the east and west sides of the Dismounting Slope Army definitely won't exceed four thousand, which also means the two forces of Woodgod Kingdom in the rear should not have more than two thousand people each. " Bai Yuhao nodded.
"The third step, is to secretly pass through Chen Cang. On the surface, we were attacked by the enemy, but in reality, when the time comes, a surprise army will appear behind the enemy troops in the east, completing the most crucial task of decapitation." Bai Yuhao enunciated every word like a gem.
"But, even if the beheading mission is successful, the Northeast Army will still be in a pincer position and could be completely annihilated at any time." Ma Lan immediately objected.
"Therefore, after completing the beheading operation, we must order people to burn down the two camps at the east as soon as possible to create the illusion that reinforcements have arrived." Bai Yuhao continued.
"What if the enemy doesn't believe it?" Vice Commander Chen asked.
"At the same time as we burn the two camps in the east, we need someone to bring the head of the commander and charge into the enemy troops and make them believe that the head of the leader has already fallen off. However, if they do not believe us at that time, at least half of the soldiers of the Woodgod Kingdom will waver in their resolve and will not keep fighting. If they don't retreat, we can take this opportunity to kill them back. We can use the weak to fight against the strong and break out of the encirclement … " Bai Yuhao continued.
"What if the beheading operation fails?" Ma Lan asked Bai Yuhao as she stared at him.
"I will try my best to reduce the probability of failure to the lowest, but if you really fail, then retreat to the dense forest at the back of Garrison Camp and set the forest on fire. This forest will burn for at least an entire night, and passing through the dense forest is a valley that is hard to defend against, so if you use all your strength to defend, you should be able to last until reinforcements arrive." Bai Yuhao drew an area on the map.
"Since this area is so convenient for defense, why don't we just directly retreat to this area and make an unnecessary beheading?" The other vice commander was puzzled.
"If we directly retreat to this area, we would face the attack of twenty thousand great army of Woodgod Kingdom. Even if we could endure for half a day, it would be difficult for us to survive past even one day. However, if we attack first, we will have the chance to earn a day's worth of time. And, the worst case scenario would be that we have to besiege Jue Gu together with around ten thousand people. As long as we have four thousand troops, and make full use of Jue Valley's geographical advantage, guarding for a day will definitely not be a problem. " Bai Yuhao said with a serious look.
"Speaking of this so-called beheading, it looks like a gamble. Actually, it is also to stall for time and to disperse the Woodgod Kingdom's great army …" After Ma Lan listened to the complete plan of action, she immediately came to a realization.
"Do you still think I'm kidding around with thousands of Northeast Army lives?" At this moment, Bai Yuhao squinted at Ma Lan.
Ma Lan was instantly speechless. Of course, she didn't know Bai Yuhao's real purpose in his plan before, and she didn't expect Bai Yuhao to have such a meticulous plan. He even planned for the worst outcome to happen. However, when she remembered Bai Yuhao's domineering kiss, she couldn't help but feel both embarrassed and angry.
"I didn't say that." Ma Lan couldn't help but retort, but this was the meaning behind her words.
"If you understand, then start preparing immediately. Vice Commander Chen, bring 2,000 people to the dense forest and the valley to prepare for retreat. Also, plan out the routes, set up some traps, and then send two days' worth of food into the valley. In addition, the entire army was informed that by noon tomorrow, all of them must be lightly armed so as to prevent the enemy from discovering our plan ahead of time. And our mission will take place just after dark tomorrow. " Bai Yuhao instructed the two Vice Commanders.
The two Vice Commanders glanced at Ma Lan before each of them prepared to go.
"Pick the most elite thousand-man army in the northeast for me. Whether or not they can complete the decapitation operation will depend on them." Bai Yuhao said to Ma Lan.
"For you? Are you planning to lead people to finish the decapitation? " When Ma Lan heard this, she was stunned.
"Otherwise?" Bai Yuhao shrugged and asked.
"No, if you go, who will command the Northeast Army? Furthermore, for such a dangerous mission, I would be more suitable than you. These two Woodgod Kingdom commanders both possess strength above the Celestial Master Stage, your strength is slightly inferior, I'm afraid … " Ma Lan flatly refused.
"Don't forget, you're the Commander of the Northeast Army. It's precisely because this mission is dangerous that you, as the commander of the Northeast Army, are not allowed to take the risk. If something were to happen to you, it would be a heavy blow to the Northeast Army's morale. " Bai Yuhao's gaze turned serious.
"But …" Ma Lan wanted to say something, but was immediately covered by Bai Yuhao.
"All you have to do now is trust me." Bai Yuhao stared at Ma Lan and said word by word.
Ma Lan looked into Bai Yuhao's eyes and was stunned. She nodded subconsciously.
"That's more like it!" Bai Yuhao patted Ma Lan's little face with an evil smile, then turned around to leave. However, the moment he turned around, his expression immediately darkened, because he knew very well that this beheading action was no different from a suicide attack. Thus, he also knew the consequences of failing this mission.
