Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

As soon as he arrived at the border, Prince Jin immediately drafted a memorial to the emperor, and then wrote a letter to his worried wife. He felt that no matter how much he wrote, it would not be enough to express his worry and concern for his wife and children at this moment.

After the letter was sent, King Jin quietly inspected the place that was going to be the battlefield. It was a small border town. Due to the poor diplomatic relations between Lufeng and Dafei, the trade in this place was not developed.

There are 20,000 soldiers stationed here to defend the city. This is the only border between Lufeng and Dafei.

A pass is required to enter and exit the border, and only a small number of merchants take the risk to do business, because merchants from the other country can only conduct business activities in small towns on their borders and cannot go deeper. Once discovered, they will be expelled at best and killed at worst.

The border is divided by the long city walls of the two countries, with the Wei River running through the two walls in the middle. The river is one hundred meters wide and less than waist-deep, so you can just wade across it. However, there is still a bridge connecting the border gates of the two countries because the water level here will rise again during the rainy season.

The area is surrounded by endless mountains, and the only exit for the people here is the city gates facing each other.

But it is different in war. There are small paths between the mountain streams in front of the mountains, and the city walls are usually only built to the foot of the mountain, and then the mountains are relied upon as a natural barrier.

There are four passages for marching here. One is the city gate, the second is a mountain stream on the east side that leads directly to the city wall. That section of the city wall is relatively low and can be climbed out with a ladder. The third is a cable bridge connecting two mountains. After crossing the cable bridge, you have to climb another mountain to reach the Wei River. The fourth is a more dangerous place, where there is a road that leads directly to the territories of two countries, but the road is only wide enough for one person to pass.

Now there is less than a day left before Dafei raises its army, and the four exits are filled with Lufeng's troops.

Dafei had 400,000 soldiers and horses, and after knowing this number, Lufeng sent out 600,000 troops, but the actual number was 580,000.

After ambushing 50,000 soldiers at each of the three dangerous passes, the main force consisting of 430,000 soldiers was stationed in the direction of the city gate.

The food and fodder of the Dafei army has been burned tonight by the spies lurking in Dafei.

Even if Dafei discovered that the food and grass were burned, it would be too late. Being so close to the border, the ambushed troops would directly attack Dafei's territory. After finding the main force position, Lufeng's main force would quickly penetrate and defeat it!

The Prince of Jin was wearing armor, looking handsome and majestic as he stood on a hidden mountain top observing the terrain and dynamics. The Eleventh Prince stood behind him with both envy and admiration, hoping that he could be like his Seventh Brother one day.

"Eleventh brother, you must remember about war. If you kill three thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred of your own. Don't start a war lightly unless it is absolutely necessary." When the King of Jin thought that there would be corpses everywhere by this time tomorrow, he felt sad for no reason. No matter who won or lost, and no matter which side's soldiers were about to fall, it was not something he would like to see.

"Seventh Brother, why do we have to wait until Dafei's troops have successfully passed through several important roads before starting the battle, instead of our troops crossing over?"

"Except for the city gate, the three passages are very dangerous. If you find an ambush after passing through, it will be impossible to retreat. The cable bridge will be cut off, and the two paths will be blocked. Soldiers who cross the border will be at the mercy of others."

"Then Dafei doesn't know that we are waiting for them to die here, so there will be no ambush."

"It is more advantageous for our side to fight on the enemy's border or our own border. Why must we fight on the enemy's border?" The King of Jin turned and looked at his brother.

"I think it is more advantageous to ambush at the enemy's border than at our own border, because the Dafei border is more dangerous in terms of terrain."

"It is more dangerous, but have you ever thought that if we fail there, it will be impossible to escape. On our border, not only is it easier to retreat, but attacking is also less risky, and the main force is here to provide support at any time. When both sides have an advantage, we must do a good job of analysis and determine the best way to deal with any problem that may arise in any situation. It is right to take risks, but if it is not necessary to take risks and you can win smoothly, then why let the soldiers take risks?"

"Brother, I remember. Thank you for your teachings, Seventh Brother."

"Eleventh brother, you must remember that the lives of the soldiers are as precious as ours. We must do everything we can to keep the death toll to a minimum!" The King of Jin thought of the previous wars and the widespread grief during the battlefield cleanup...

"I will keep it in mind." The eleventh prince bowed his head to admit his mistake, and then asked, "Seventh brother, will the Dafei troops appear at several important roads at the same time?"

"It is very difficult for Dafei's 400,000 troops to pass through the entire border. They are also marching in secret. The most likely scenario is that they will march separately and then join up with the main force." The only thing King Jin is considering now is where Dafei's main force will appear. Once it appears at one of the three important roads, the 50,000 soldiers in ambush may be wiped out.

"Ruoying, give the orders. When the Dafei army starts to cross the border, the main force will form a straight line. They must stay closely together and provide timely support when the enemy's main force appears on the three important roads." King Jin gave orders to Ruoying.

"Is the focus of the main force still to remain outside the city gate?" Ruoying asked.

"Yes, the city gate is the center point, and it doesn't take too long to support any of the three important roads. And if Dafei's 400,000 troops are to appear quickly, the city gate is still the most ideal exit. Letting the main force to support the three channels is just in case. We should wait in the direction of the city gate." It is not easy for both sides to hide such a large force. Fortunately, Dafei has not discovered Lu Feng's actions so far.

The King of Jin and several generals in the camp had not slept all night. The plan to burn Da Fei's grain and grass had not been successful so far. Had they been discovered? Did Da Fei already notice it?!

Until dawn -

"Your Highness Prince Jin, a raging fire has broken out in the direction of Dafei, and the smoke is rising straight into the sky." Chi Ying walked into the tent to report the black smoke he had seen.

A group of people rushed out immediately and indeed saw black smoke rolling in the sky.

"Did you see any secret signal?" After something was done, fireworks were used as a secret signal. If not, it could be that the other party deliberately created an illusion to deceive you.

"Not seen yet." A spy reported.

"Wait a little longer!" King Jin still stood still, looking in the direction where the black smoke was rolling, hoping to see the expected signal!
