long time kneeling on the ground had stiffened his body and he nearly fell.After a while, Chen Tong gritted his teeth and gradually regained his ability to move. He followed Wan Jiaojiao into the fami...Chapter 468: Operation Plan

"General, the battlefield has been counted. This time our army suffered three thousand six hundred casualties, with over seven hundred seriously wounded and four thousand two hundred deaths. We killed over ten thousand enemy soldiers and captured a large amount of food, supplies, enough for our army to last six days."

Listening to his subordinates' report, Su Pingbei nodded in satisfaction.

He was sitting inside the central army tent at this moment, with his generals who had accompanied him on this campaign on either side.

Everyone is relatively satisfied with this outcome.

"Trading one for three, although the results are not as good as during the Empire's heyday, it's still quite a feat to achieve this much success today." A trusted deputy general who had followed Su Ping north from the capital city spoke.

"Back then Back then, the moment my Imperial Heavenly Army arrived, the Eastern Isles would have already thrown down their armor and fled."

Su Pingbei sighed and said, "Now that our army has been fighting within the Xianchao territory for several days, although we have recovered a large amount of lost land from Xianchao, the capital city of Xianchao is still under the control of the people of Dongying."

"Earlier this morning, King Xianchao again requested that our army retake the capital as soon as possible."

A deputy general said with a face full of discontent, "These Xian Chao royals only know how to urge us on. If they had the ability, why don't they go and reclaim it themselves Now that the progress is slow, the losses on the battlefield are all our great Qin soldiers."

As soon as these words were spoken, murmurs of discontent arose from the crowd. They all complained that the Wang clan from Xianchao was clueless and ungrateful.

Su Ping lowered his voice and said: "The capital city represents the most basic dignity and foundation of a nation. It is natural that the royal family of Xian Dynasty would want to recover it as soon as possible. Moreover, the current King of Xian Dynasty is in declining health. He worries that he may not live to see the day when the capital city is recovered. Since we represent the court to help Xian Dynasty, we should understand this."

"After all, if the true King of Xian truly died before the capital was recovered, even if we won, it would tarnish the reputation of my Great Qin army."

Through continuous battles, Su Pingbei's command ability and combat level have grown day by day. Moreover, with the support of his team led by Su Zhen Ting, Su Pingbei has established his prestige within the military. As he said this, others naturally fell silent.

Seeing that he had suppressed the complaints of his subordinates, Su Pingbei felt quite satisfied. He got up and walked to the war map, saying: "Everyone, I have thought carefully about this over the past two days. If we want to end this war as soon as possible, we must decide the outcome with a major battle."

“The people of the East Ying have been fighting in the Xian Dynasty for over a year. Their time in the Xian Dynasty has not been easy. While they have obtained some supplies through burning, killing, and looting, their army consumption is equally large, and their atrocities have caused fierce resistance from the domestic people of the Xian Dynasty. There are spontaneous resistance forces organized by the people everywhere, constantly harassing their rear lines and supply lines.”

"If a major battle could take out more than half of their forces at this point, they wouldn't even need us to fight. The Eastern Isles would just surrender."

Su Pingbei spoke, poking a plain area on the map with his finger. "Between King Ping's capital and our army's current location in Fuhushan lies this plain. This is the burial ground I've chosen for the Eastern Kingdom!"

"I plan to divide my forces into three."

A detachment of eight thousand light cavalry rode north around the road, launching a flanking attack on the Eastern Isles army.

"Another force of ten thousand infantry marched along a mountain path, flanking the eastern army and launching a surprise attack from the rear."

"As for the remaining central army, I will personally lead it and feign a full-scale assault."

“When the main army of the Eastern Isles weakens, the flanking and rear troops will strike, surely crushing them completely!” of recommendation and sent it to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs.""After all, he was still the magistrate of a prefecture. Even if he had money, such a high position c...
