Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

Dispatch Army Command!

Ando walked up to Hayao Tada and patted him on the shoulder.

Tada Hayao was startled immediately, and quickly turned his head to look.

Ando chuckled: "Tada-kun, don't be so nervous. There has been news from the military headquarters that you will be given a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. For the rest, you just need to guard the northwest of Shanxi."

Tada Hayao nodded, but his expression was as if he had lost his soul.

He knew that Dongtiaoji must be inseparable from his being safe and sound so far, but he knew better that if something happened again, his position as commander-in-chief would really have to be replaced.

Seeing this, Ando shook his head helplessly: "The direction is ready. Niu Dao-kun and Saka Heng-kun will lead you there in a few days, and the situation in Northwest Shanxi will naturally be stabilized by then."

"And I heard that Wanji Ishihara is also here with me this time, don't worry."

Hearing this lineup, Hayao Tada heaved a sigh of relief.

Two brave lieutenant generals and a staff officer with a super high IQ, as long as these three come together, not to mention stabilizing the situation in Northwest Shanxi, even regaining those lost cities will not be a problem.

"Your Excellency Ando, ​​it will take time for them to arrive. What if Tuba Road attacks Taicheng at this time?"

Ando frowned: "After the war, Tuba Road should also need to take a breather, and it is unlikely to attack again."

"Also, haven't you sent Genbo to Taicheng to serve as the interim commander of the First Army? You have to trust him to handle everything well."

Tada Hayao sighed, he had no choice but now the entire dispatched army could not find anyone suitable to be the commander of the First Army.

But he can't be without a leader, so he can only choose a general from among the dwarfs, and find a person with the rank of lieutenant general to be the commander.

"I hope so, when Ushishima-kun and others come over, the situation will be resolved."

However, just as Hayao Tada finished speaking, a soldier hurried in.

"Reporting to Your Excellency Tada, telegrams have been sent from all over the place, and the Tuba Road has begun to dispatch troops again."

"Nani?" Tada Hayao and Ando were taken aback, and hurried forward to take the telegram and unfold it.

"What's going on? What exactly is Tubalu trying to do? Don't they need to rest?"

As soon as Hayao Tada finished cursing, Ando immediately walked to the map and began to draw according to the marching route on the telegram.

"Tada-kun, the meeting point of these marching routes is Taicheng!"

"Tuba Road is going to attack Taicheng!"

Jun Tada's heart skipped a beat: "It's a prophecy, and Tubalu is really planning to attack Taicheng."

"Quick, immediately mobilize the troops near Taicheng to support Taicheng!"

The soldier on the side frowned: "Your Excellency Tada, there are at most two brigades near Taicheng, which may not be enough."

Tada Jun said hastily: "Transfer there first, I will immediately contact the troops in Datong and ask them to go to Taicheng to relieve the siege."

"Yes!" The soldier responded, then turned and left.

On the other side, somewhere in Yangquan Pingding.

Wu Qianli put down the binoculars, turned to look at Li Yunlong and Kong Jie beside him.

"You two, the pass ahead is Niangzi Pass. Our mission this time is to take this place and hold it!"

"It really is a grand pass!" Kong Jiechang took a deep breath and said, "The terrain here is steep and it is close to Taohe River. I'm afraid we will face another bloody battle."

Li Yunlong on the side nodded: "A bloody battle is definitely inevitable."

"None of our troops have any experience in attacking big cities, not to mention that Niangziguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we want to take it from the front, I'm afraid it will not be so simple."

"Another point is that the devil has deployed three brigades of troops to guard here. If we don't think of a way, I'm afraid we won't be able to take this place even if all the troops are wiped out."

Wu Qianli nodded and frowned.

Niangziguan is different from other places. Most of the other cities are on the plains, and the troops can quickly deploy and attack from multiple directions.

However, the terrain of Niangziguan is dangerous, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Generally speaking, unless it is a surprise attack, it is difficult to take it.

And considering that the gate needs to be guarded later, it can't cause too much damage to Niangziguan, otherwise, once the devil reinforcements come, they won't be able to stop them at all.

The combination of various factors undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to the attack on Niangziguan.

Wu Qianli sighed: "I know that Niangziguan is difficult to beat, but we have to fight!"

"If the army wants to take Taicheng, Niangziguan must be defended. Otherwise, once the army of devils comes to support us, we will be attacked by the enemy. At that time, the army will be in danger."

"Then what can you do?" Kong Jie asked.

Wu Qianli took out the map from his arms and unfolded it, pointing to one place and said: "It is too difficult to attack Niangziguan from the front, but it is not impossible."

"The old pass of Niangziguan is a good breakthrough, so I plan to send a team of about 800 people to approach the old pass at night."

"Once the old pass is taken down, it is equivalent to setting a nail on the side of Niangziguan!"

"When the large army launches an attack, the 800 troops will respond at the same time. This will not only disperse the devil's forces, but also disrupt the enemy's deployment."

Li Yunlong nodded: "The method is feasible, but I think 800 people is still not enough."

"The devils guard against danger. Even if all 800 people go up, they may not be able to take it down."

Wu Qianli smiled: "I have considered this issue, so I plan to send another artillery unit to the foot of Jiuguan Mountain."

Kong Jie frowned: "At the foot of the mountain, can our artillery reach it enough?"

"No problem!" Wu Qianli said with a smile: "I asked Lao Yang to calculate, if our infantry guns are at the maximum elevation angle, the artillery can completely cover the old pass."

"But the problem is that the road to the old pass is not easy to walk. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff. You need a courageous commander to lead you personally!"

Kong Jie snorted coldly: "This is easy to handle. I will leave the matter of attacking the old pass to me."

"When I was a child, I often collected herbs in the mountains. For me, mountain climbing is a part of my life, and it is not too difficult."

"Got it!" Li Yunlong said angrily, "Why are you Kong Er's idiot everywhere?"

"Didn't you hear what Wu Qianli said before? You have to take advantage of the night to go there. If you are walking on a mountain road at night, what if your eyes are not good and you fall off?"

Kong Jie said angrily: "You boy can't spit out ivory, so you can't expect me to order?"

"This battle is about whether we can win Taicheng. If we can win Niangziguan, I, Kong Jie, will be happy even if I am smashed to pieces!"

Li Yunlong frowned, and suddenly had nothing to say.

Commander Wu Qianli sighed: "Then let's do it this way. The Jiuguan side will be handed over to Commander Kong. Commander Li and I will attack from the front!"

"Now prepare separately, tomorrow morning, use the sound of cannons as a signal!"
