Just as everyone was speculating about the model on the case table, Qin Mu signaled everyone to be quiet and asked Liu Rushi to introduce the information he had collected recently in detail and briefly introduce the upcoming war. Finally, Qin Mu turned his attention to the officers of the army, "In view of the importance of this battle, I hope everyone can express their opinions and speak freely, without any scruples or any constraints."

Almost every time a meeting is held, Qin Mu hopes that his subordinates can give full play to their respective subjective initiatives, consider issues from their own different perspectives, and present a situation where a hundred schools of thought contend. Only in this way can different opinions exist and find their shortcomings.

As Qin Mu finished speaking, everyone in the conference room began to think or discuss with the neighbors.

"Sir, I want to talk about my opinion first." Li Dadan was speaking, and Qin Mu nodded and signaled him to continue speaking.

"I tend to fight in field with the Husbands in the field for three reasons. First, our army's heavy infantry has been trained and I believe it can withstand the test of heavy cavalry of any country. The Husbands' Eastern Expedition army has added a large number of new recruits, especially the infantry camp. The combat effectiveness will definitely decline. As long as we withstand the enemy's cavalry impact and our cavalry can break through their infantry defense line, we can win the initiative."

"Second, intelligence shows that the enemy has purchased a large number of advanced attack equipment and the number of infantry is huge. If we take defensive operations, we will definitely suffer a considerable loss; third, if we take defensive operations, we can only passively use the defense facilities of the Fucheng City to defend, and we need to give up other areas outside the Fucheng City. This is also a major blow to our economic development and the prestige we have established among the people. I believe no one can ignore this."

Li Dadan obviously said this after careful consideration, and his words also revealed his strong confidence in the heavy infantry he had trained.

Li Dadan's words immediately won the support of Liang Qiming, Mu Kai, Shangguan Yonglun, Mu Ziqi and others. Mu Kai was naturally the same as his commander. What's more, he also had the same confidence in the heavy infantry division formed by his fellow tribesmen. Mu Ziqi and Xie Shuyu had no idea about the military, but he also knew that fighting in Tokugawa would inevitably have a huge negative impact on the local economy, so he also agreed with Li Dadan's idea.

But not everyone here agrees with Li Dabang's idea. Zhu Yongqing also put forward his own opinion: "Sir, my subordinates do not agree with the views of Deputy Commander of Li Dabang. We believe that it should be better to use the solid city defense of the city to conduct defensive operations. The reasons are as follows: the enemy's strength is as high as 600,000, and both cavalry and infantry have maintained an absolute advantage over our army. If we fight in the field, it will definitely be a hard battle. First of all, can our infantry resist the iron armored heavy cavalry of the Hunter? The strength of the Hunter heavy cavalry is obvious to all, and the main force used by our army for defense - the heavy infantry of the heavy infantry, which is less than 50,000, and it took less than half a year to form an army. How strong the strength cannot be concluded easily is one of them."

"The number of cavalry in our army is only 50,000, and the heavy cavalry is only 15,000, while the enemy's light infantry has 200,000, and there are 100,000 heavy infantry, which is almost four times that of the cavalry we attacked. It is very difficult for me to break through the enemy's defense line. This is the second."

"Once we lose any aspect of offense and defense in the field, the enemy will use the absolute advantage of troops to form an annihilation of us in one fell swoop. This is the third one."

"If we take defensive operations, we can make full use of city defense facilities and weapons to greatly kill the enemy and have vitality. Moreover, our troops have already had the experience of the last Tokugawa defense battle. This war will be more handy, and the people in the city will also unite and support us. With our current strength, we should be able to defeat the invading enemy."

"As for the invasion of the Huns, the invasion of the Huns, it would be a big loss to Tokugawa's local economy, it is also helpless. War is cruel and inevitably brings losses to personnel and property. We can only try to minimize it."

As soon as Zhu Yongqing finished speaking, Liang Qiming stood up, "Captain Zhu Yongqing's Army, I remember someone told me that at the meeting celebrating the victory of the Tokugawa Defense War two years ago, the county magistrate publicly promised the people to do their best to protect the lives and property of the entire Tokugawa Prefecture people. I believe you were there at that time, but now you are talking about the cruelty of the war and the inevitable losses. How can you explain the oath of the county magistrate? How can you face the ordinary people who have high hopes for our army and break the trust of the people. The result will be a loss of the people's heart and the loss of the people. How can you talk about the great cause of the future! County magistrate, do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Liang Qiming, the boy, finally pointed the finger at Qin Mu and took advantage of the situation to attack Qin Mu's army. Zhu Yongqing also seemed a little embarrassed. He did not expect that his military suggestions would be caught by Liang Qiming, which made Zhu Yongqing not know how to explain, for fear that a bad explanation would make the county magistrate unhappy.

Qin Mu also understood Liang Qiming's feelings. He worked hard to develop the economy of Tokugawa County to be decent, and now he has to give up completely. You must know that the Husbands suffered huge losses the year before last year, and this time they will definitely have to retaliate. In this way, it is possible to return to their appearance three years ago. This is something that Liang Qiming is unwilling to accept as a local official now.

Qin Mu ignored Liang Qiming, but turned his attention to Liu Xiaoshan, Chi Meng and others. Everyone also talked about their respective views. Some people tended to use the advantages of heavy infantry to attract the enemy's main cavalry, and then use their own cavalry cameras to break through the enemy's weak links; some people agreed with Zhu Yongqing's view, believing that using solid city defense facilities for defense operations can effectively preserve their strength and be very sure to defeat the enemy. The officers naturally divided into two factions, and started a fierce debate, and no one could convince anyone.

Qin Mu listened carefully to the opinions of the two factions. In fact, it was similar to Qin Mu's idea, and each had its pros and cons. Finally, Qin Mu stood up and signaled everyone to remain calm and walked to the terrain model of Taichung, "Everyone, who can see where this place is?"

Everyone calmed down, and everyone's attention returned to this terrain model. Liang Qiming observed it carefully for a long time, and finally asked in confusion: "Sir, this seems not the terrain in our Tokugawa County, right?"

A word woke up from the dreamer. Shangguan Yonglun first reported that he was a Northwest and was familiar with the geographical conditions of the Northwest region. "Sir, this seems to be the area of ​​the Spikepo on the Dongtengri Grassland. When I was young, I had passed by this area with my uncle several times. Could it be that the adults wanted to be there...? But there are still hundreds of kilometers away from us, and we have already penetrated the Dongtengri Grasslandland!"

As soon as Shangguan Yonglun's words came out, everyone's eyes looked at me, shocked, confused, and puzzled.

"Yes, I just plan to set up an ambush here, unexpectedly and catch the Huns off guard. As the saying goes, how can I get a tiger's son if I don't enter the tiger's den? The most dangerous place is the safest. It is because it is deep in the enemy's territory that it will not attract the enemy's attention and achieve the goal of a surprise victory. I have also made careful analysis of the two plans we discussed just now, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is not satisfactory and there are always shortcomings that cannot be overcome. So I put aside these two plans, came up with this plan again, and discussed with everyone." Qin Mu nodded slowly and expressed his thoughts.

"But sir, the enemy's main army has as many as 600,000. Even if we want to ambush, we have to dispatch a large number of troops. How can such a large-scale army operation avoid the reconnaissance of enemy spies? When entering the enemy's territory, there are enemy herders everywhere, so it is even more difficult to keep the troops' actions confidential."

Chimeng first raised the question. This is also the biggest question for everyone here. If you want to defeat the 600,000 enemy army in one fell swoop, even if you ambush and engage in a sudden attack, you must have a considerable army, otherwise you will not be able to defeat the main force of the enemy. How can the army move on a large scale, especially in the enemy territory, achieve the purpose of confidentiality?

"Let's see, everyone,"

Qin Mu brought everyone's eyes to the big map again, "I am going to let some troops set off immediately, dress up as horse thieves, enter the Dongtengri grassland, that is, to continuously burn, kill and loot along this area, drive away the low-Hungarian herders in this area, and leave a marching route. The low-Hungarians have no garrison in this area, which is not difficult to do. In this way, our army can sneak in quietly, and of course we must do a good job of confidentiality."

As soon as Qin Mu said his thoughts, everyone here was shocked, but they all felt that this was indeed an excellent method of keeping confidentiality.

"Looking at the terrain of the sharp-toe slope, the enemy's marching route will definitely be along the flat ground on the southern bank of Henan. The flat ground on the southern bank of Henan is a shallow hill with dense forests on it. We can place our main cavalry here, with an enemy's army of 600,000, stretching for at least ten miles."

"We ambush the main heavy infantry in the forest at the Pinto Slope. When the enemy's main iron armored cavalry arrives here, we block them here. At the same time, the cavalry ambushed in the forest in the shallow hills attacked the infantry and baggage troops in the middle of the enemy, dispersed them, drove them backwards, and then pursued them, using the enemy's chaotic troops to disrupt the deployment of the enemy's rear troops. We took advantage of the victory to attack and completely defeat them."
