Chapter 995 The so-called containment

Just as Wu Yi was thinking about which path the Rinan tribe's reinforcements might take and how to choose an ambush point, someone outside the camp came with the marshal's command.

The visitor is quite ordinary, he does not stand out from the crowd, nor does he have a strong back and a strong back. He falls into the sea of ​​people and is afraid that he will never be found again.

He claimed to be Zhang Tianwen's personal soldier, but Zhang Tianwen had so many personal soldiers, both openly and hidden. How could Wu Yi know whether what this man said was true or false? It's the beginning of the story, and the content is all made up.

It's not that Wu Yi is suspicious, on the battlefield, he should have a basic sense of vigilance!

Wu Yi now feels more and more that Zhang Tianwen treats him like a white glove and throws it away after use. Maybe he will be the one who cheats him in the end. The reputation of using bandits as soldiers is enough to prevent him from going further.

"The marshal's command orders you to use all your strength to contain the bandits and bandits in Tianlang City within these ten days!" the visitor preached.

We do not doubt the identity of this person for the time being. Judging from the communication of information between the two places, Zhang Tianwen obviously does not know the news about Wu Yi causing a stir in Tianlang City at this moment. Wu Yi's previous actions can also be regarded as a way to contain him.

As soon as his front foot left the smoke mouth, he was afraid that Zhang Tianwen, his back foot, would spread the news. Is this necessary? Why not just say it face to face?

Compared with orders with very clear meanings such as annihilation, siege, and strangulation, the word containment is very particular. Is it an advance or a retreat? Or should we fight and retreat? With the huge strength gap between the two sides, if they forced a battle, Wu Yi might even be killed.

The command is not clear and there is too much room for maneuver. Whether it was to reward military merit, or to seek credit for past mistakes, or to find a scapegoat, there was always an opportunity, as long as you had a mouth, not to mention that it was a password. Afterwards, Zhang Tianwen only needed to say that it was a Rinan tribe spy who had infiltrated.

Finally, the word "containment", looked at from another angle, does it look like the cannon fodder troops are behind the scenes in order to cover up or protect the main force, or are used to contain the enemy's main force.

Damn it! After thinking about this, Wu Yi cursed secretly. No matter how good-hearted he was, he didn't want to be cannon fodder. Zhang Tianwen didn't waste a penny. This plan was a good one!

Although he was dissatisfied, at this moment, he could not determine the identity of this person, and indirectly, he could not confirm whether the order was true or false.

Therefore, Wu Yi was just like a person who had no judgment of his own. He agreed as soon as he agreed and ordered his surroundings to entertain him.

But today's meeting has another good thing for Wu Yi.

The marshal's personal soldiers conveyed the news about Wu Yi and flew to all parts of the army like birds. Many bandit leaders who were ready to overthrow Wu Yi all stopped. Unexpectedly, the marshal valued this son so much. If he killed Wu Yi, he would definitely cause trouble. The marshal was dissatisfied.

Because of this incident, the time of civil strife in the army has passed. Yes, it is just a passage of time. The inherent contradictions in the army have not been truly resolved. What should break out will still break out. It just gives Wu Yi more time to Prepare.

In the next two days, Wu Yi's scouts scattered outside carried out Wu Yi's orders and spread the news that the Rinan tribe's defenders in Tianlang City were defeated and most of Tianlang City was burned down, in order to attract reinforcements from the Rinan tribe.

But on the other hand, the scout also sent back the news he had heard. The return of this news made Wu Yi believe that the man who met him at night might really be Zhang Tianwen's personal soldier.

The main content of this news was that the Northern Army was gathering a large army to regain Tianlang City. In the early stage, a group of elites were turned into bandits to catch them by surprise. In the later stage, the number of troops would be as high as 100,000.

It was true that Wu Yi burned most of Tianlang City by surprise. The so-called reinforcements later were completely nonsense, but when the two pieces of news were combined, they seemed extremely real.

Because he is not completely false, but half-truth. Wu Yi is hard to tell at this moment. What kind of elite is he? It is Wu Yi's skill to integrate the internal parts together.

If it was really a regular army, after the invasion of Tianlang City, they had coordinated their troops as one, quickly expanded the results and increased the number of casualties, instead of going around plundering. Maybe they could have taken down Tianlang City in one go, instead of leaving in despair. go.

Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The question is whether there are more advantages or disadvantages. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Just like this, when the gangsters heard the news that there were 100,000 reinforcements in the rear, they felt like they had been given blood, and they all asked for a fight.

What a joke, if you don't fight if you have the chance to make a meritorious deed now, when reinforcements arrive, there will be no chance at all. Risk your life, look good in front of the marshal, and find a future. After all, it's not that they don't want fame, they just doubt whether Wu Yi is qualified to fulfill his promise.

They were all rough and tactful, and they were very flattering to Wu Yi. Wu Yi was able to carry out small-scale organizational adjustments in the army, disrupting their original organization and suppressing the original mountain culture.

Then he taught them simple formation methods and coordinated operations. It was not the kind of large-scale formation. In such a short time, it was impossible to achieve a large army gathering for combat. It was just a way for two or three people to fight against the enemy. If you can kill someone with one sword, you should never kill him with more than one sword. There is nothing wrong with being quick, accurate and ruthless.

Many of them are veterans of the battlefield, and all of them are very agile and can get things done with just a few clicks.

This process took Wu Yi more than two days. Of course, other actions were not idle, especially the control of public opinion. Zhang Tianwen stabbed himself hard and treated himself as cannon fodder. Wu Yi didn't care what his main purpose was?

All in all, the goal cannot be carried out smoothly, because in that case, he will have to bear the pressure of the Nichinan army alone, and the entire army may be annihilated.

What, you said Wu Yi has no sense of the overall situation!

Hey, when you want someone to sacrifice for you, shouldn't you think about it and donate something instead of throwing it away after using it, not giving the horse grass to eat, but also wanting the horse to run? Do you think it is a perpetual motion machine? ?

Zhang Tianwen's situation may be even worse, and he may even step on Wu Yi in return. It's good that Wu Yi didn't rebel.

In the past few days, the news from Wu Yiling's scouts was that the Daji Dynasty had not sent any reinforcements, and that the previous attack on Tianlang City was only a force formed by gangsters, mercenaries recruited by Zhang Tianwen!

Other bandit leaders asked Wu Yi why he wanted to spread this news. Wouldn't it be better if it could scare the enemy away? Wu Yi replied: "True and false, so that the enemy does not know our true and false news, which is very useful in defeating the enemy!"

Most people nodded, thinking that Wu Yi had a brilliant plan.
