They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 114 Planning

Hearing this, Shen Laosan felt quite regretful.

He really wanted to see just how powerful the gunpowder was. Although he had already conducted many experiments in Langya Mountain, there were gunpowder pits everywhere more than ten miles behind the mountain range.

However, since it didn't hit any people, he could only make a rough estimate of its destructive power.

Su Luo ignored his thoughts and personally devised the battle plan.

Now, Shen Laosan has almost been trained into a scientific fanatic. Although his abilities have not yet reached that level, his personality is already almost identical.

Su Luo was pleased with this, not because Shen Laosan would be of much help to him.

This shows that Shen Laosan has finally found his direction.

Just like Su Luo, his current goal is to incorporate the dozen or so elite soldiers brought by Zhang Daqiang into the more than one hundred privates of Langya Mountain.

Prepare to seize warhorses!

"Our objective for this operation is the warhorse!"

"But warhorses are an extremely important war reserve resource, even for the Great Xia Dynasty. Therefore, even a hundred warhorses will be escorted by many people..."

Su Luo said, "Therefore, this matter absolutely cannot be taken lightly!"

Zhang Daqiang stayed behind in Feixia Town, while Liu Daoyang and Hong Feng came to Langya Mountain this time!

Su Luo told them to stay by his side and wait for instructions, which made the two men extremely excited, because this meant that they would be Su Luo's deputies in this operation!

Just as Su Luo had promised before, as long as their performance was good enough, Su Luo would definitely not treat them unfairly!

They also offered their opinions on this operation.

“What you say is true, young master. Hong Feng and I are both from military backgrounds and know how important these warhorses are to the Great Xia Dynasty. They have at least two hundred elite soldiers escorting them!”

"And we only have a little over a hundred people... Don't let our superior equipment lull us into a false sense of security! The enemy is the elite force of Feiyun City, and they are among the best in the entire Great Xia!"

"Their equipment, except for the compound crossbow, might not be any worse than ours!"

Liu Daoyang said, "Besides, even if we can really crush them... as long as we prepare in advance, we can minimize our losses! Why not?"

"I think we can make use of the terrain in this operation!"

Hong Feng nodded, "I agree! However, they will definitely take the main road! We need to find an opportunity to force them onto the narrow road!"

"If they can get through here..."

He drew a line on the map and said, "There are concealed obstacles on both sides here. If they can get through here, we can ambush them from both sides... then we can take them under control in the fastest way possible!"

"Moreover, the terrain here is narrow, so even in close combat, our familiarity with the terrain will give us a significant advantage!"

Once they started speaking, others immediately chimed in, offering various opinions.

Su Luo watched this scene without stopping it; instead, she smiled.

Generally speaking, if a military unit wants to achieve good development, it must not have too much of a voice.

Ideally, a commander-in-chief should be appointed!

One firm voice is all that's needed in the military!

However, the Yanhuang Army is not yet formally formed and does not have a complete talent selection system, so he does not prevent everyone from expressing their own ideas.

Su Luo was able to discern from this who possessed the talent to lead!

For example, in this battle, Liu Daoyang and Hong Feng's ideas were good, and among the privates trained at Langya Mountain, there was a young man who could be said to have shown his talent...

"I think both of you have a point!"

The young man smiled and said, "However, we need to take it all into account. Whether it's utilizing the terrain or guiding the other party into this place, we need to conduct thorough investigations beforehand!"

"So, my suggestion is... since we're going to disguise ourselves as bandits anyway, why don't we send a small team, just a few people, to lie in ambush beforehand!"

"Then, feign defeat and show weakness... This will not only lure the enemy into this terrain, but also lower their guard!"

"Our biggest advantage is the composite crossbow. Once the enemy lowers their guard, our composite crossbow can unleash its full power!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Daoyang and Hong Feng exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

They all thought it was a good suggestion!

Su Luo glanced at the young man and smiled, saying, "This plan... is indeed excellent! What's your name? Where are you from?"

When the young man saw Su Luo's gaze fall on him, he immediately became excited and said, "Reporting to young master, my name is Han Yan, and I am from Dafang Village..."

"You've been to school? You can read?"

Han Yan scratched his head sheepishly, "I attended a private school for a few years, but then my father passed away, so I went to farm!"

"However, recognizing characters is not a problem..."

Su Luo nodded: "Okay. You do have some ideas, but there's a flaw in your plan. That is, the squad that goes to feign weakness... is too dangerous!"

"Liu Daoyang is right. The enemy has at least two hundred people, and a small team only has about ten. If we are not careful, our lives could be in danger. Who do you think is willing to take that risk?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Su Luo said was true.

At the same time, he admired Su Luo even more. As expected of a young master, he saw through the biggest problem in the plan at a glance.

Danger!

The first team to set off was in too much danger!

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Yan took a deep breath and said, "Young Master, I can lead the team!"

"As long as you, young master, can give me this opportunity!"

"I will absolutely not let you down, young master!"

Su Luo stared at him and said, "How many people do you need? How long will it take?"

Han Yan's body stiffened, and he said, "Fifteen people! One day!"

Su Luo shook his head and said calmly, "One day is too long, and fifteen people are too many!"

Han Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Ten people! Half a day!"

Su Luo shook her head again!

Han Yan gasped for breath, his mind racing with calculations, and said, "Young Master, give me eight men! I can lure the Flying Cloud City elite soldiers escorting the warhorses into this mountain path within five hours!"

"Moreover, I can guarantee that absolutely no accidents will happen!"

"If anything goes wrong, come and give me your head!"

Su Luo then smiled and said, "Alright, I'll give you ten people! You just need to finish it within six hours, and that will be fine!"

"If you succeed, I will reward you with one hundred taels of silver. As the number of regular soldiers in my Yanhuang Army increases in the future, you will be given a command position!"

Upon hearing this, Han Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his voice trembled as he replied, "Yes, young master!"

The others in the room also cast envious glances, wishing they could take his place!

Sulo trained them using modern military training methods, transforming them from country bumpkins into elite soldiers!

Even a private is definitely no worse than an ordinary soldier of the Great Xia Army!

Besides physical and skill training, mental training is even more important...

Therefore, they are not afraid of death at all! What they fear is having no opportunity to use their skills!

Now that Han Yan has the opportunity, they are naturally envious!
