The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Under normal circumstances, in order to prevent enemy scout strongholds from contacting or supporting each other, the generals would agree on a unified time to lead the troops into battle, lurk at the predetermined location, and then launch a surprise attack at the same time.

However, Chen Subaru proposed that each team of soldiers and horses should set off separately after being fully prepared. There is no need to formulate strategies for each other or support each other. They can launch an attack directly after arriving at the predetermined location.

The generals who received the military order complained in their hearts. Under normal circumstances, even when launching a raid on a bandit camp, there is no strategy planned like this. Acting like this now is more like bandits robbing villages and towns. They don't need to know the enemy's strength, they have no plan, and they can attack whenever they want.

Although there were many doubts in their hearts, considering Chen Subaru's reputation in the battle of Taishan County and his status as a Nascent Soul monk, the generals still silently accepted the order, each ordered 300 soldiers and horses, divided into three teams, and attacked There are three strongholds located nearly a hundred miles away from the military town of Puyang County.

These three strongholds are about twenty miles apart from each other. Although there are some terrain obstacles in between, they do not hinder mutual support. Each stronghold has ten guides, a hundred guards, and dozens of middle-level puppets arranged by the Xuanwu Army. They all carry investigative instruments issued by the Huanchen Sect.

These strongholds were secretly established a week ago. There are ten similar strongholds in Gaoping County. The number of scouts alone is close to the entire garrison of Gaoping County Army Town.

The stronghold is equipped with concealment formations, defense formations, communication formations, as well as various traps and disguises. After all, Puyang County is still the territory of the Beifu Army. They dare not carry out stronghold construction in a big way yet, so they only retain some basic functions and minimize the traces caused by the movement of spiritual energy.

These disguises and concealments are invisible under the overlapping layers of Chen Subaru's consciousness. The reason why he has not decided to take action is because Chen Subaru has not yet determined the specific number of these scouts and their methods.

They seemed to be carrying high-grade magic weapons and had been hiding underground. Chen Subaru's consciousness was greatly restricted. In this case, Chen Subaru had to deal with it carefully to ensure that the battle plan was foolproof.

After taking action against Lin Yue, Chen Subaru gained insight into the methods of these scouts. There were more than 30 scouts tracking Lin Yue, including monks at the Alchemy Realm and the Concentrating Soul Realm. All of them were equipped with magic weapons and could track her from the air. After analyzing the strength and motives of the two parties, Chen Subaru judged that the other party had at least two-thirds or three-quarters of its manpower left at the stronghold, with the total number of people ranging from about ninety to one hundred and twenty.

Surprisingly, these scouts were able to find Lin Yue in places beyond the range of her consciousness. Considering that they had the same cultivation level, Chen Subaru deduced that these scouts might carry some kind of magic weapon for long-distance detection. The principle was similar to the overlapping of his spiritual consciousness, but it should be limited. He guessed that people from the Huanchen Sect might have left behind some means that allowed these scouts to detect Lin Yue and Gui Wu from a distance.

Chen Subaru suddenly felt that Huanchen Sect was a little unkind. Although he didn't know much about Gui Wu's situation, Lin Yue was a puppet sold to the Holy Guards at a clear price. The Huanchen Sect actually left a secret door on the transaction goods, which greatly reduced Chen Subaru's favorable impression of the Huanchen Sect and almost disgusted him.

Therefore, Chen Subaru had murderous intentions towards these scouts. While investigating these scout strongholds, he discovered that there were spiritual fluctuations in the detection magic weapons. The detection distance of these magic weapons can only cover each other's strongholds, which is about twenty miles at most.

This distance made Chen Subaru almost certain that although their magic weapons were stronger than those of the Danjie monks, they were not ridiculously strong. The ability to track Lin Yue remotely should be due to the secret door left by the Huanchen Sect. It can only detect the location, but cannot materialize the opponent's image and capture the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to take action against the two registered members of the Holy Guard, including a small flag.

If Huanchen Sect had not done this deliberately, these scouts would not have been able to track Lin Yue and Gui Wu. After all, the Holy Guards were conducting reconnaissance operations in various places, and the Huanchen Sect had no reason to attack the small banners of the Holy Guards.

After analyzing the situation, Chen Subaru decisively ordered the military town to send troops to encircle and suppress the scout stronghold. He did not let anyone go to die, but asked the soldiers in the military town to prepare twenty miles away and wait for the scouts to find them.

The scouts in the stronghold are strong, but not strong enough to wipe out the entire team in one fell swoop. Due to Chen Subaru's order to attack freely, the attack time of the three teams was not uniform. When a certain team suffers heavy losses, other teams will inevitably receive information about the collapse and decisively retreat to the military town. In this way, the scouts not only exposed their strength, but also failed to obtain a large number of results.

Chen Subaru predicted that the scout stronghold would choose to hold on and wait for the soldiers in the military town to take the lead in attacking. During the attack, they constantly lured the soldiers of the military town into encirclement, in order to achieve the goal of annihilation in one fell swoop. At the same time, the first military town team did not encounter strong resistance when attacking, which would make the other two troops continue to advance without hesitation. In this way, they can eliminate the effective forces of the military town to the greatest extent and reduce resistance for subsequent attacks on the military town.

Chen Subaru planned to use the short time difference to personally raid the stronghold. He first carried out a devastating blow to the first stronghold to eliminate the effective forces, and then asked the soldiers of the military town to follow up and deal with the aftermath. At the same time, he attacked the second stronghold. Taking advantage of the soldiers' desire to perform meritorious service, at least one or two strongholds can be completely eliminated and the remaining strongholds severely damaged.

After learning that the opponent's investigation range was limited to twenty miles, Chen Subaru believed that the success rate of this strategy was extremely high. As for which stronghold to attack first, he felt there was not much difference.

Since his cultivation level is much higher than that of these scouts, he can temporarily suppress the entire stronghold, making it impossible to send messages out. However, whether attacking from the sides or the center, when he destroys the first stronghold and begins to attack the second stronghold, the third stronghold is bound to sense that something is wrong.

If you take into account the possible slackness of local personnel and hope to wipe out all three strongholds, then the success rate of attacking both sides first will be higher. But if you only consider annihilating two strongholds first to achieve the basic tactical goal, then attacking the center first is almost a sure win.

No matter how perfect the strategy is, actual combat is still the key to victory or defeat. When the three troops in the military town started to take action, they happened to arrange a half-crane wing formation. The marching speeds of the three routes are basically the same, so if Chen Subaru's strategy is fully implemented, the troops on the left will be the first to attack.

When the three groups of soldiers and horses were halfway in, Chen Subaru handed over the construction of the defensive array to the military town monks, then appeared in a hundred meters in the air and galloped away in the direction of the left group of soldiers and horses.
