Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Qin Shan!

Jun Wuxie felt an urge to rush into the study and kill him on the spot!

He never expected that Qin Shan would order the withdrawal of the border pass garrisons, allowing the Xilin army to enter!

This fool, who had been clever his whole life, would actually make such a stupid decision because of his desires and ambitions.

With the Xilin army entering, their iron hooves would trample the Great Zhou's lands, what a living hell that would be?

Qin Shan actually dreamed that Xilin would keep its promise and make him the emperor of Great Zhou, what wishful thinking!

Over the years, the Xilin army had been invincible, so many countries had been destroyed, which country could preserve itself completely?

No country was still ruled by its own people.

"Qin Shan dares to do this because he relies on the border army's bravery in battle. He thinks that after the Xilin army enters, if they go back on their word, he can close the border city and encircle them. This kind of gambling is extremely foolish!"

Jun Wuxie felt heavy-hearted; Qin Shan's madness was beyond his expectations.

He was betting his entire life's glory on the lives of the Great Zhou's eighteen thousand miles of land and hundreds of millions of people!

Would the Xilin army not consider their own situation after Qin Shan turned against them?

They must have thought of it, but even so, they still dared to cooperate with Qin Shan.

The waters of Xilin are very deep. Being able to destroy so many countries in just a few years is not only due to their own national strength, but also to the support of a terrifying force behind them.

Qin Shan was completely enslaved by ambition and desire.

For his so-called great cause, to ascend the throne, he actually came up with such a method!

"With things developing to this point, it seems we have to change our plans temporarily!"

After Jun Wuxie left the City Lord's mansion, he was thinking all the way.

Now it was too late to intercept the black-clothed men who were conveying Qin Shan's military orders.

Dozens of black-clothed men were heading to different legion camps.

He was not familiar with the routes, and he did not even know the locations of those legion camps, so it was impossible to intercept them all.

If even a few black-clothed men delivered the military orders to those legion commanders, things would become very bad.

"Although I don't know the specific content written in Qin Shan's warrant, his confidant generals would definitely not tell their soldiers that they were colluding with Xilin and letting the Xilin army enter. I'm afraid those soldiers still think this is Qin Shan's scheme to encircle and annihilate the Xilin army!"

"If that's the case, then we only need to consider the commanding generals. If we can replace those generals, and give the Xilin army a thunderous blow when they enter, maybe there's still a chance to severely damage them!"

When he understood this, he made a decision and quickly returned to the Marshal's mansion to discuss this matter with Ji Yinlan.

Ji Yinlan was quite shocked to hear such news.

She did not expect Qin Shan to be so crazy.

"This is what I'm thinking, what do you think..."

Jun Wuxie explained his thoughts in detail.

"That's all we can do for now." Ji Yinlan nodded solemnly and said, "If things go smoothly, we can take the opportunity to severely damage the Xilin army. However, it's difficult for us to determine now whether Xilin spies have infiltrated our border army. If they detect any clues and pass the situation to Xilin, our plan may fail."

"I've also thought of your concerns. We can act tomorrow night, so they won't have time to report. Besides, we only need to quietly kill Qin Shan's confidants with the most military power in each legion of the border army. Haven't you placed confidant martial generals in those legions? Are there any deputy legion commanders among them?"

"Yes, the deputy legion commander of each legion is my confidant. Usually, their deputy positions have no real power. If we secretly get rid of the legion commanders, and the soldiers are unaware, they can command them."

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow night, we will strike at the same time and get rid of the legion commanders of those dozens of military sub-groups! Then, let your confidants, those deputy legion commanders, announce to the army that those legion commanders received Qin Shan's military orders late at night and went to Shunyi City Lord's mansion to discuss important matters. Announce it at midnight, and the Xilin army will enter the pass at dusk the next day. In such a short time, even if someone suspects, they won't know the truth. Once the Xilin army arrives, who would have the mind to dwell on this?"

Ji Yinlan nodded.

"Come, share the information about the Xilin army with me, I'll study it!"

Jun Wuxie knew that the Xilin army was definitely a fierce and formidable force with terrifying combat power, otherwise, how could they sweep across the various countries?

Even if there was a mysterious force behind them supporting them, it would only be in terms of material resources and military experts. The large-scale combat army was still the original soldiers of Xilin.

In wars between countries, relying solely on individual strongmen is not enough; the collective combat capability of the army must also be strong.

Ji Yinlan looked at him with some surprise, and then shared all the information she knew about the Xilin army into Jun Wuxie's sea of consciousness in a spiritual sharing manner.

This man had never been involved in military affairs before and had no prior military experience.

She really wanted to see if Jun Wuxie had any talent in this area.

"This Xilin army has really good equipment, even the worst equipment can be compared to the Great Zhou's most elite legions! However, their main force is heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, which are also the most powerful. They can usually overwhelm their opponents, while the light cavalry and light infantry are relatively less prominent in combat power."

"Yes, so in open areas, the Xilin iron cavalry and heavy infantry are almost invincible, and no country's army can confront them!"

"How many border soldiers does it usually take to kill a Xilin cavalryman or heavy infantryman?"

"If it's a frontal charge in an open area, our 50,000 border soldiers can't withstand Xilin's 10,000! Their heavy armor is hard to pierce with swords, and their mounts are lion-blood infused Lion Steeds! Therefore, when facing the Xilin army, we usually rely on defending solid cities and waiting for the enemy to tire."

"What about the Xuanjia Army?"

"The Xuanjia Army is very strong in combat, but they are infantry. We don't have Lion Steeds, which is Xilin's advantage. Even if the Xuanjia Army is equipped with warhorses, they are at an absolute disadvantage against Lion Steeds. If Lion Steeds roar, other warhorses will panic, putting the cavalry in a desperate situation instead."

Jun Wuxie fell silent.

He pondered for a long time and asked Ji Yinlan to bring out the map of the border passes.

After viewing the detailed war map, he said, "We will encircle and annihilate them in the open where the Xilin army has the greatest advantage!"

Seeing the confusion in Ji Yinlan's eyes.

Jun Wuxie said, "The Xilin army is not stupid, they will definitely not be lured into narrow areas. And in the open, their confidence will swell, and they will underestimate the enemy!"

"Conventional methods, a frontal collision, will inevitably be at a disadvantage, so we can do this, divide the Xuanjia Army into groups of three. Each group of three is only responsible for killing their target. The three cooperate with each other, two charging forward, restraining the Xilin cavalry left and right, and the other using a rapid-firing crossbow to shoot at the parts of the Xilin cavalry that are not covered by armor."

"How to divide?"

Ji Yinlan's eyes lit up slightly, she was a little curious.

"That is, in combat, implement a three-three system, with three people as a perfectly coordinated group, breaking up the entire army. Each group of three maintains a distance, not concentrated. Once concentrated, they will be overwhelmed by a wave of cavalry charges, or a round of arrow volleys, resulting in heavy casualties!"

"This combat method of yours is so novel..."

Ji Yinlan's eyes were very bright. After thinking about it carefully, this method was really a good way to deal with cavalry.

The reason why heavy cavalry is strong is because they have heavy armor and collective charge combat. Once broken up, if the infantry fighting the cavalry rushes up in a chaotic mess, they simply cannot break their defenses.

If there is a perfectly coordinated three-three group, it will be different.

The three cooperate perfectly, attacking different vital parts of the cavalry, so that the cavalry, who are relatively clumsy in their heavy armor, will be overwhelmed.

"Yes, but there must be large strong crossbows and long-range trebuchets to cooperate. Otherwise, even if the cavalry is surrounded by the three-three Xuanjia Army, they can completely maintain their formation and stand still. So, we have to force them to disperse!"

"Wuxie, you are so talented in military affairs!"

Ji Yinlan couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is not my idea. I saw this tactic in an ancient book before, so I just borrowed it."

Jun Wuxie did borrow the experience of his predecessors, but it was not seen in ancient books.

This tactic originated from his mother's first homeland.

He didn't have his past memories, but Yue Yao knew that civilization very well, so she shared the information about that civilization with him.

"By the way, how many people are there in the Xuanjia Army?"

"Only a million can be put into battle..." Ji Yinlan sighed and said, "There are more than a dozen border cities and hundreds of other large and small passes. It's probably far from enough to deal with Xilin's five or six million people."

"Come, look here, here, and here..."

Jun Wuxie pointed to the terrain around those passes on the map.

"I understand what you mean, we can only choose to encircle and annihilate selectively, a comprehensive encirclement and annihilation is impossible." As a commanding marshal, Ji Yinlan has great military talent. She had naturally thought of this a long time ago, but she felt it was a pity.

This was an opportunity to annihilate a large number of Xilin iron cavalry, but the opportunity was missed because the number of Xuanjia Army was not enough.

She was very worried. She knew that her time left in Great Zhou, or even in this world, was running out.

If she couldn't destroy the Xilin iron cavalry, who else could deal with them after she left?

She believed that Jun Wuxie could, but Jun Wuxie couldn't stay in the army all the time.

If he was entangled in these matters, which would slow down his cultivation speed, the gap in realm between him and the peerless talents of his generation would become larger and larger, which would be fatal for future competition!

"This time, it was originally a disaster, but if we can gain something from it, that would be good enough." Jun Wuxie pointed to certain points on the map and said, "These places are very difficult to attack, and they are the only way to quickly advance to the capital. We can defend these places to the death. The longer we hold out, the more time we can buy for the Xuanjia Army. When the time comes, the Xuanjia Army will annihilate the Xilin Iron Cavalry in the other locations, and then immediately march to another location to annihilate the cavalry there!"

"However, if that's the case, the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army might not be able to endure it. They will need good supplies and an iron will."

"They can do it, I believe in them!" Ji Yinlan said confidently and firmly, "For the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, there is no mission they cannot complete, no enemy they cannot defeat, and no difficulty they cannot overcome!"

"Go and make arrangements immediately. The Xuanjia Army should start moving, otherwise time is short, and it might be too late. Also, the other passes are not their main targets of attack, Shunyi City is!"

Ji Yinlan left.

She did not let the Xuanjia Army generals living in the outer courtyard do this, in case their unusual behavior aroused Qin Shan's suspicion.

She quietly went to certain secret liaison points in the city.

There were many trusted aides she had placed here.

Jun Wuxie then returned to his room.

Yue Yao hadn't slept yet. Seeing him return, she immediately opened her beautiful eyes, lifted the quilt, and made room for him.

Jun Wuxie lay down on the bed, put Yue Yao in his arms, and thinking about what he was about to face, he immediately entered the Eternal Life Temple.

"Senior, please pass on the second half of the Primordial Military Dissection to me."

"Alright, with Lingfei by your side, you can indeed cultivate the second half now."

The mysterious woman did not refuse. Immediately, a string of characters rushed out from the Zhenyu Tower and entered Jun Wuxie's brow.

The half of the Primordial Military Dissection that he cultivated was finally completed.
