martial arts general

Chapter 118 Preparations before the war
Zhao Jiuxiao led the martial arts masters back to Youzhou City as quickly as possible.

Along the way, they bypassed the city guarded by Xuan Tieguo and took the rugged path.

In the process of moving forward, Zhao Jiuxiao also asked the disciples of various factions to investigate secretly, to guard against the appearance of enemies.

In the end, everyone successfully returned to Tiansheng Kingdom.

In Youzhou city, at night, Zhao Jiuxiao sat in the general's mansion, feeling happy.

In front of him was a bowl of fried noodles, which had just been made.

Zhao Jiuxiao picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

Gongsun Wuji on the side was also enjoying it.

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled: "We're still back."

Gongsun Wuji: "That's right, but we must also be prepared for a battle with the Xuantie Kingdom. If the alliance fails this time, the Xuantie Emperor Murong Kuang will definitely be furious and will send troops to fight us."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "It's just in time, we just have a showdown with each other."

Gongsun Wuji: "What General Zhao said is true, I am also willing to advise and advise General Zhao."

As he said that, he looked out of the window, looking at the beautiful moonlight, and he was in a good mood.

Hong Taishan also pushed the door in from the outside, cupped his hands and said: "General Zhao, are you ready to fight the enemy when you return this time?"

Zhao Jiuxiao: "That's right, this general has exactly that intention."

Hong Taishan: "Since this is the case, I must train soldiers and prepare sufficient food and grass."

Zhao Jiuxiao waved his hand: "Please don't worry, General Hong, there will be no shortage of food and troops in Youzhou City. This time, I will advance and retreat with General Hong to defeat the powerful enemy."

Hong Taishan's expression changed slightly: "General Zhao said that he will lead the 70 troops of the capital to come to help?"

Zhao Jiuxiao: "That's right. Now that things are going on, if you don't use your main force, how can you fight the enemy to the death?"

Hong Taishan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Zhao!"

After the discussion, Zhao Jiuxiao left Youzhou City and returned to the capital overnight.

After confirming that there was no special situation in the capital, he immediately cleaned up the barracks, transported food and grass, and set off from the capital with 70 troops to Youzhou City.

Along the way, Zhao Jiuxiao also sat with Gongsun Wuji to discuss the next thing.

Gongsun Wuji said with a smile: "General Zhao, we are going to the Xuantie Kingdom this time, and I have secretly guessed the generals that the Xuantie Kingdom's army may send."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Gongsun Shaoxia, please tell me."

Gongsun Wuji: "To be honest, there are six famous generals in Xuantie Kingdom. They are Ximen Hu, Xiahou Bo'an, Yu Wenpo, Zhuge Mao, Sikong Huan, and Duan Binghun."

"These six people have their own strengths, and they have made countless military exploits in the Xuantie Kingdom. The most powerful of them is Xiahou Bo'an. This person is a famous Confucian general, and he can defeat opponents while talking and laughing."

"The formation he is best at is [Yin-Yang Formation]. If this formation is used, it will be almost unstoppable."

Zhao Jiuxiao frowned: "[Yin-Yang Formation]? Can Gongsun Shaoxia find a solution?"

Gongsun Wuji nodded: "I know a thing or two, but I still need the help of the general."

Zhao Jiuxiao beamed with joy: "Great, with the help of Gongsun Shaoxia, great things can be accomplished!"

Gongsun Wuji went on to say: "As for the second famous general, that is Yu Wenpo. He is crippled, but his martial arts are extraordinary. A set of [Overlord's Marksmanship] is infinitely powerful."

"Besides, Yu Wenpo is best at catching thieves and capturing the king. Once the tiger and leopard cavalry led by him charge, it will be difficult to resist."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "I understand, if you want to deal with Yu Wenpo, you have to avoid his edge, and it is safer to adopt a war of attrition."

Gongsun Wuji: "Exactly, but General Zhao's miraculous skills are world-class, if he can be killed directly, Yu Wenpo will not be so terrible."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Yes, this general has this confidence."

Gongsun Wuji: "The third famous general is Sikong Huan. This person is greedy for money and lustful, and has a bad character, but he is a rare marksman. He holds the [Sunset Bow]. His strength cannot be underestimated."

"And what he is best at is long-range tactics. First use cavalry to harass, and then use the intensive firepower of crossbowmen to defeat the opponent."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "So that's the case. If you want to defeat him, I'm afraid you have to find a way to get close to his army."

Gongsun Wuji: "That's right, the best policy is to catch people by surprise."

He continued to analyze: "The fourth general is Ximen Tiger. This man is unstoppable. He uses a two-handed copper hammer with amazing power. The armor on his body weighs hundreds of catties. It is very difficult to be killed."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "His internal strength should be pretty good."

Gongsun Wuji: "Exactly. Apart from this, the Ximen Tigers don't simply like to attack, but also know how to defend. Between offense and defense, they can completely defeat the opponent."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "What about Zhuge Mao and Duan Binghun?"

Gongsun Wuji: "Duan Binghun ranks fifth. He uses two swords. His martial arts are not low. He is proficient in several formations, but he has a way to deal with them. It can be said that he is not afraid."

"As for Zhuge Spear, this person uses a long halberd. His martial arts are not very powerful, but his tactics are very strange. If necessary, he will use the method of dying with the opponent to win."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "That Zhuge Mao is worth noting."

Gongsun Wuji: "Exactly, in order to win, Zhuge Mao is willing to use any method, even if it is extremely cruel."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "These six famous generals are all likely to play, right?"

Gongsun Wuji: "Yes, but according to my guess, the most likely thing is that Zhuge Mao and Duan Binghun will each lead two armies to attack our country."

As he spoke, he took out the map; "Although Murong Kuang is crazy, he knows strategy very well. It is very likely that he will send Zhuge Spears to attack Fengzhou City, and then let the army cross the mountains from Fengzhou City, go around to the back of Youzhou City, and then attack Fengzhou City." Together with Duan Binghun's main force, they attacked from two sides and occupied Youzhou City."

Zhao Jiuxiao thought about it and said: "This idea is very dangerous. First, if Zhuge Mao is unable to enter Fengzhou City and is trapped under the city, there is a risk of being defeated. Second, if other cities lead troops to rescue, Zhuge Mao will also be defeated." Will be pinched from two sides."

Gongsun Wuji: "What General Zhao said is true. Therefore, defending Fengzhou City is the first major thing we have to do. The second is Youzhou City. We have to wage a war of attrition with the enemy here."

"As time goes by, Zhuge Mao and Duan Binghun will be unable to attack for a long time, food and grass will be scarce, and the combat effectiveness and morale will drop rapidly. At that time, it will also be a good opportunity for us to fight back."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "This plan is very good. What Gongsun Shaoxia said is right. Fengzhou City's terrain and the number of defenders are most likely to become the enemy's breakthrough. As for the other cities, they are all too close to Youzhou City. It was very good to be rescued, and the enemy could not succeed."

Gongsun Wuji: "General Zhao, please set up a heavy defense in Fengzhou City, and I will sneak into the enemy's army secretly, and investigate carefully."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Okay, it's a deal!"
