Yelü Shenxuan glanced at the general who had asked the question and said calmly, "War is deception."

If we directly focus our troops on attacking the east gate, what would the Qin army do Of course, they would defend the east gate, where the pressure is greatest.

"Those fifty thousand vanguard troops, I allowed them to be given freely to the Qin Army."

Even an offensive force of 300,000 troops from the north and west gates, with heavy casualties, I could accept.

As soon as Yelu Shenxuan finished speaking, someone immediately said: "But the Qin army will also have an estimate and judgment of our troop strength. If 100,000 fewer soldiers appear on the battlefield, they will definitely be cautious and guarded, and leave defensive forces to deal with it."

Yelü Shenxuan said upon hearing this, "As long as we can confuse the Qin army and make them unsure which city gate we are going to attack, even if they are initially wary and on guard, with a total of 300,000 troops on both sides, plus the support of 40,000 reserve troops, we can create immense pressure on them in a short amount of time."

The pressure was so great that it threatened to overwhelm them, forcing them to devote all their resources to defending the North Gate and West Gate.

"At that time, once tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared to attack from the east gate, they would completely lose the initiative."

Thus, after two answers, the other generals had no further questions.

Yelü Shenxuan swept his gaze over the crowd and said in a calm voice, “Since there are no other questions, then below, I will begin to announce the commanders of each army, and your tasks...”

War is about to break out, and the world is filled with a sense of impending doom.

At the beginning, there were 600,000 soldiers. Now, after casualties, the Liao army has 490,000 soldiers who can fight. This is different from the speculation before Yueya Pass, but not much.

And the deployment of nearly half a million troops, is ultimately impossible to conceal.

So, the movements of the Liao army were immediately summarized at Yueya Pass.

By this time, Yuet Yeung Pass had already finished all the work of stealing heaven and changing the day.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Li Chen waved his hand, signaling the scout who had come to report to leave.

He turned his head to look at Wu Banshan and Wu Qingcang, and asked: "In terms of military matters, you two are the experts. In your opinion, since the Liao army has now begun pre-war preparations, how much time will there be before they truly launch an attack"

Hundreds of thousands of troops, of course, aren't something you can just move at will.

Even adults who fight one-on-one will have a sleeve-rolling motion ready.

These hundreds of thousands of people, once they are all lined up and their weapons and equipment are checked, will take quite some time to depart from the barracks.

Wu Ban Shan replied, "At the fastest, seven or eight hours; at the slowest, a day."

"With the quality of Liao's troops, if they were to mobilize all their forces, they could launch an attack before dawn at the earliest."

Li Chen frowned upon hearing this, and said: "Then the time left for us is almost none."

Wu Qingcang said: "Actually, it's not necessary anymore. We have already done what we needed to do."

"That's right."

Li Chen chuckled softly. He walked out of the council hall with his hands behind his back. At this time, apart from some basic defensive forces, everyone in the city lord's mansion had already been arranged to evacuate and most had left.

The true warriors had all retreated to the Gansu-Shaanxi Basin, where they were prepared for a grave pit that would bury them.

"My lord, you should retreat as well." Wu Qingcang came to Li Chen's side and said.

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "How could I withdraw Anyone can pass through Yueya Pass this month, except for me. If I leave, Yelü Shenxuan will definitely not cross Yueya Pass." a matter of beheading.Rules are meant to be broken, how they're executed depends on the person, and people, well, they're all about power.For Zhao Xuanji, many rules held no sway over him at all.The...
