Chapter 311

~4 min read 762 words

Lu Zhen said happily, "With this object, plus the quicklime, alcohol, and fallen wood in Changancheng, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven for the Chu army to take Changancheng!"

"Beneath Changancheng, this grenade can give the Chu army a heaven-sized surprise, and might even blow them all to heaven!"

Lu Zhen's face was full of smiles.

If there were enough grenades, throwing them would be far more satisfying than quicklime.

He, Lu Zhen, would definitely be the vanguard!

But hearing this, Wu Zhao and Gao Yang both revealed a smile.

"Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?"

"Did this old subject say something wrong?"

Lu Zhen was curious.

Wu Zhao's smile was fine, but Gao Yang's smile made him feel somewhat terrified.

"Who are you trying to trick this time, brat?"

Gao Yang glanced at Lu Zhen and showed a mouthful of white teeth, "Friends coming from afar, is it not a joy? Such a good thing should naturally be experienced by the Chu army."

"But the method needs to change."

"What does Old General Lu think of harassing the Chu camp at night these few days?"

"In the dead of night, the power of the grenade will be even more terrifying; we must blow the Chu army to heaven!"

"Hiss!"

"Harass the Chu camp at night?"

The group of old generals thought of the power of the gunpowder and couldn't help but be eager to try.

Wu Zhao thought of the 'boy who cried wolf' story Gao Yang told, as well as the psychological warfare, and couldn't help but repeat it.

For a time, the group of old generals were all shocked and fell into deep thought.

Put this way, this is indeed a heaven-sent opportunity.

Wu Zhao looked at the crowd, her voice filled with indescribable dominance: "I want to use a surprise force as the wolf, the Chu soldiers as the children, and the Chu soldiers and generals as the farmers, to play a game of psychological warfare!"

"These few days, Changancheng will create a facade of weak defense during the day, and then constantly harass them at night to make the Chu army numb."

"The enemy tires, we strike; the enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy retreats, we advance; and then use the never-before-seen power of gunpowder to explode in the Chu camp!"

"I not only want to hold Changancheng, but also beat the Chu army until they don't know north from south!"

Once these words were spoken.

Gao Yang was the first to say, "Your Majesty is wise!"

If this plan succeeds, Wu Zhao knows, his reward won't run away; if it fails, Wu Zhao will take the blame.

Merit should not overshadow the master; this is the bottom line.

Even if Wu Zhao doesn't care in many respects.

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Tianlong and the others and said, "This is Master Gao's brilliant plan; I cannot take the credit."

The eyes of Lu Zhen and the others suddenly brightened.

They had said this fighting style didn't look like Wu Zhao, but rather like Gao Yang's handiwork.

"Empty and full, true and false; this is the supreme way of military strategy. You brat, you really understand military strategy!"

Lu Zhen exclaimed in surprise.

He had thought Gao Yang didn't understand military strategy and wanted him to learn from experience, but he never expected Gao Yang's attainments in military strategy to be so high!

Although the tricks were quite insidious, isn't that what military strategy is all about?

Gao Tianlong's eyes were fixed on Gao Yang's face.

Wu Zhao looked at the group and said with excitement: "This matter is of great importance. Which old general is willing to lead a surprise force?"

Lu Zhen was stunned, "This brat is so proficient in psychology and talks so eloquently, he is naturally the best candidate."

"He's not going?"

Gao Yang said righteously, "Grandpa Lu is mistaken; I am a strategist and not skilled in military tactics."

"Such a camp-charging mission concerns Da Qian's Changancheng and the millions of people inside; professional matters should naturally be left to professionals."

Everyone looked at Gao Yang.

They understood the subtext of these words.

Charging the camp has risks; the poisonous strategist needs to be cautious.

He provided the plan, and they would do the charging and fighting.

But they were used to it; on the contrary, this was the Gao Yang they knew.

"Since it is a person from my Gao family's Duke of Ding mansion, I, Gao Tianlong, request to fight!"

Seeing this, Gao Tianlong stepped forward.
