One hundred and ninetieth chapters on the eve of the decisive battle

No matter how others judged it, Di Qing ordered the killing of 100,000 prisoners of war, and unexpectedly received the transfer order. Li Jing ordered the First Division and his subordinates to rush to the front line immediately.

This order was expected. After receiving the order, Di Qing immediately led the First Division to the front line, but after he arrived at the front line camp, he found that there was no sign of fighting here at all.

"Report to General, Di Qing comes to report to you, please give me a message!" In the front-line military camp, Di Qing and Lu Su responded to Li Jing and asked for the next task.

"It's coming just right." Li Jing waved to Di Qing and the others, signaling the other party to come forward to check the map with him. He pointed to the enemy camp on the map and said to Di Qing: "The latest information shows that there are 100,000 troops gathered in the enemy city, and 200,000 troops outside the city. After discussing with the military advisor, it is decided that our army will launch an attack on the enemy tomorrow."

As soon as he heard this, Di Qing clasped his fists at Li Jing without saying a word and said excitedly: "Report to General, the First Division is willing to be the front line."

Di Qing didn't expect that he happened to catch up with the war as soon as he came. When will he ask for a fight if he didn't ask for a fight? If he missed it, he would not be able to explain to the entire First Division.

"Haha, don't worry." Li Jing chuckled when he saw his subordinates' desire to fight, but he didn't care. On the contrary, he was happy. This was a symbol of the high morale of the army.

Li Jing waved his hand and interrupted Di Qing, who was about to say something, and said, "We will gather here later to discuss tomorrow's attack together, and we will talk about it later."

After saying this, Li Jing asked Di Qing and Lu Su to beside him and loudly ordered the guards outside the account to beat drums and gather the generals.

In less than ten minutes, except for Di Qing and Lu Su of the First Division, Huo Qubing of the Cavalry Division, Liu Qi, Yan Ren and Wu Yi all rushed to the military tent.

"My generals, after resting for so long, it's time for us to take action. We can't let the enemy underestimate us!" After greeting each other, Li Jing's first words cheered everyone up.

"Please tell me!" The generals all showed excitement on their faces, staring at Li Jing with their eyes straight, waiting for their superiors' orders.

"Haha~!" Li Jing laughed at this, reached out and pressed it twice, looked at Liu Ji on the side, and said, "No hurry, please ask the Chief of General Staff to explain the current dynamics of both the enemy and us."

"The general said very much. Only by knowing yourself and knowing others can you win every battle." Liu Ji stood up and said to everyone: "The enemy's army has 100,000 troops stationed in the city, and the enemy's camp outside the city has 200,000, and it is expected that by the war tomorrow, there will be at least 350,000 enemy troops."

Liu Ji first explained the strength of the enemy in detail. Seeing that everyone had not changed much after hearing the number of enemies, he nodded secretly and continued to say, "The number of enemy troops is large, but our army is stronger."

This is true. In addition to the militia and the servant army, the main army alone has three divisions, with a total of more than 130,000. If the 100,000 servants are included, the gap between the number of people and the enemy will not be that big.

Not to mention that although the enemy has more than 300,000, there are actually less than 100,000 elite troops after long-term training, and the rest are recruited soldiers and slave soldiers. In this way, the number of troops in Xia State still has the upper hand!

If the number of enemy troops had not increased like this, there would have been other unpredictable changes. Just in case, Li Jing and Liu Ji would like to wait two more days.

After Liu Ji explained the military strength of both the enemy and us, Li Jing asked everyone: "Generals, can you have any good plans to fight the enemy tomorrow?"

Everyone had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. For a moment, everyone stood up and immediately Liu Ji and the others asked for a fight, but avoided answering Li Jing's question.

Everyone is a talented person. Knowing that by this time, Li Jing and Liu Ji should have had a plan to fight against the enemy, so instead of offering ugly suggestions, it is better to ask for a fight to the point.

"Okay, okay, quiet, all quiet." After Li Jing calmed everyone down, he knew what everyone was thinking, so he did not blame everyone.

Li Jing and Liu Ji looked at each other and ordered to everyone: "It's actually like this, all the generals obey the order!"

"The last general is here!" Everyone clasped their fists and said yes, waiting for the military order.

"Order: Di Qing, Lu Su, lead the First Division, and half of the servants launched an attack on the enemy city!" Li Jing took the token from Liu Ji and handed it to Di Qing.

Di Qing and Lu Su took a step forward. After Di Qing took the military order token, they clasped their fists and said, "The last general takes the order!"

"Order: Yan Ren and Wu Yi, lead the Second Division, and half of the minions launched an attack on the enemy's military camp outside the city."

"Order: Huo Qubing and Liu Qi lead the Cavalry Division and the Second Division to launch an attack on the enemy battalion."

After Yan Ren and Huo Qubing received military orders, Li Jing told the two: "Field battles outside the city are different from siege battles, and there are many variables. You two must cooperate with each other, be careful!"

"Yes, follow the general's instructions!" Yan Ren and Huo Qubing also looked at each other, and knew that the other party was going to cooperate in this battle.

"Finally, I will be in the middle with the Chief of Staff." Li Jing finished giving the order, and he was relieved: "Everyone, tomorrow's battle is an unprecedented battle with my country. I hope you will work together to serve the king and the country, and fight bravely to fight the enemy!"

"Loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and you will have no regrets in your death!"

"Mr. Li is here to wait for the good news!"...

Before, Li Jing wanted to directly command the regiments to launch an attack on the enemy, but after discussing with Liu Ji, he finally changed his original intention and decided to let the generals command their subordinates.

In Liu Ji's words, this battle has a great impact. Even for training troops, you still have to be very cautious.

There are three divisions, a total of fifteen regiments and four battalions, as well as minions and logistics. Even if there are generals acting as Li Jing's deputy and staff officer, they are not so easy to command.

So it is better to put the generals back to each division, so that they can better exert their subjective initiative and allow Li Jing to free up his hands and focus on the entire battle situation.

As for the other reasons for this decision, Li Jing can only know it himself...

That's right, Li Jing's orders to everyone were all in a general direction. There was no detailed or specific tactics, which required the generals to think about themselves. This was also considered training soldiers and generals!

A day of preparation is enough, after all, I have already been on the battlefield, and a day of preparation is left for the generals.

After everything is ready, just wait for the dawn of tomorrow!

...

The dynamics of Xia Guo’s military camp were not known to the enemy, and there was no need to know that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xia State had been placed for those days, and the coalition forces were worried for several days.

In the coalition, whether it is the powerful or the soldiers, since the arrival of the Xia army, every day of their lives seemed to be the last day, and they lived a daze and were at a loss.

As for the civilians, there would be no more in Yili City, and all the troops stationed. If Yili had not allowed the powerful to leave the city, there would probably be only a few non-military people left in the city.

Early in the morning, after the coalition forces learned that the Xia army was dispatched, both the lord Yili and the powerful and the soldiers were relieved, and then they became even more nervous.

This day is finally here! No matter what the result is, waiting is really torture!
Chapter completed!
