Late at night, the wind was cold and a heavy snow fell on the northern region.

...

In Guxi Pass, a basin of fire was burning in the conference hall, and firewood was burning, and sparks kept rising. Two pots of wine were warming up. Further away, there was a huge sand table of the Panshi Army. On the side, the palace coach Lin Ruo stood beside Lin Zhao with a serious expression, while Lin Zhao pressed the sand table with one hand, carefully studying the terrain north of Guxi Pass. Many details and many thoughts were repeatedly deduced in his mind.

Lin Ruo remained silent and did not disturb Lin Zhao's thinking. The Panshi Army's troops to attack the enemy north had become a foregone conclusion, and Lin Ruo was completely unaware of it. So what he can do now is to fight this almost impossible battle to minimize his own losses.

In fact, there were also many military strategists in Lin Ruo's Panshi Army, but all of them were shut down by him. In Lin Ruo's heart, the military strategists in the whole world were not as good as Lin Baiyi.

After a long time, Lin Ruo picked up a pot of warm wine and placed it on the sand table, saying, "What's wrong?"

"The clue has not been completely cleared yet."

Lin Zhao took a deep breath, picked up the wine pot and poured himself a big mouthful of warm wine. He turned to look at Lin Ruo and said, "The strength of the two sides is very different, so we have only one night to prepare. You must be mentally prepared. This battle north will inevitably be a defeat. As for what we can do, it is to fight this defeat a little better and minimize the losses of the Panshi Army and the Snow Legion."

"Lin Zhao..."

Lin Ruo looked complicated and said, "You don't need to participate, and I don't want to drag down your snowy Tianchi for your own reasons."

“It’s necessary.”

Lin Zhao frowned and said, "If our Iron Cavalry in Tianchi in the Snowland does not enter the battlefield, the final outcome of your 150,000 Panshi Army should be all annihilated, and the army heads north alone, and attacks the strong with weak. No matter how stupid Shi Jungang is, he will never give up such an opportunity. When the Panshi Army and Jihan Legion leave Guxi Pass, Shi Jungang will send heavy troops to raid and directly cut off your retreat. Most of the terrain north of Guxi Pass is woodland and plains, and it is the world of the demon cavalry. I am bluntly, the Panshi Army and Jihan Legion are not enough to kill together."

“…”

Lin Ruo also knew the pros and cons, and sighed: "If you really lose miserably, it is me, Lin Ruo, who has implicated Lin Baiyi, and the mistake is not on you."

"It may not be a crushing defeat."

Lin Zhao gently patted Lin Ruo's shoulder and smiled and said, "You are going north at noon tomorrow, so we don't have much time to plan. I just carefully studied the terrain of Qiufengyuan area, which can provide your Panshi Army with a set of attack and blocking routes. Please listen to it for a moment. If you think it makes sense, you can adopt it. If you think it makes no sense, you can think of it again."

"Um!"

Lin Ruo nodded: "You said!"

"The Panshi Army is an army that is good at defending. The elite level of spear formations, shield formations, and bow formations are among the few in the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, since the Panshi Army decided to go north, it must enter the expected position as soon as possible, put out its defensive posture, and wait for the demon clan to attack. This is very critical."

Lin Zhao's fingertips fell on a forest area in the middle of Qiufengyuan and said, "There is a Cuiyu Mountain here, which stretches from east to west and stretches for ten miles. It is a heavenly barrier. The demon clan and the demon clan cannot attack and kill from the north of Cuiyu Mountain. The south of Cuiyu Mountain is a forest valley area, suitable for infantry legions. Five miles south is a Gulp Lake, which is also a natural barrier. The demon clan has no warships and is not good at water battles. The demon clan is even more unlikely to wade in the water. Therefore, between Cuiyu Mountain and Gulp Lake is the heavenly battlefield of the Panshi Army. As long as you enter this battlefield in advance and send heavy troops to seal the exits at both ends, you can exert the natural advantages of the Panshi Army."

“…”

Lin Ruo was enlightened when he heard this. He was also a famous general of the world, but his ability to capture battlefields and terrain was obviously a little far away from Lin Zhao.

“Time is tight.”

Lin Zhao said: "You announce that you will attack at noon tomorrow in front of the soldiers of the Panshi Army. Then you can't really wait until then. The news of the Panshi Army cannot be airtight, so before dawn, food and grass should set off first, transport all the food and supplies to the scheduled battlefield, and then send heavy troops to guard the two exits of the battlefield, and let yourself be invincible first."

"Um."

Lin Ruo nodded: "What should Ji Han Legion do?"

"You can't command Ji Han's army."

Lin Zhao said lightly: "Wang Ling is Li Chunyang's man, and it is impossible to obey your command. However, you can send a letter to Wang Ling and let him deploy defenses and intercept and kill the demon army in the forest on the east side of Cuiyu Mountain. The combat power of the demon cavalry in the forest was at least 30%. This is also the best arrangement for Ji Han's army."

"knew."

Lin Ruo said: "Lin Zhao, if you arrange this, don't use your snowy legion anymore."

"You can't move..."

Lin Zhao frowned, looked at the sand table with his eyes and said, "To put it nicely, your Panshi Army seized the terrain and used defense instead of attacking. To put it bluntly, he also locked himself in a living coffin. Once Shi Jungang and Yu Feng sent an order to surround him without attacking, the Panshi Army would definitely exhaust the food and supplies and eventually be wiped out. Therefore, the meaning of the Snowland Legion is to disturb the water and make Shi Jungang lose his judgment. I will personally lead the Snowland Legion to charge back and forth in the east and west directions on the south side of Cuiyu Mountain. It is enough for you to arrange some archers on the mountain to help our Snowland Iron Cavalry."

"Um."

Lin Ruo's expression was a little complicated, and he looked at the brother of the same clan: "Lin Zhao, why are you trying to get into this muddy water?"

"I can't watch you die in battle, right?"

Lin Zhao looked at the other party and said, "Don't worry too much about me. Now our Snow Legion has two twelve-level sword immortals and three Tianyuan martial artists. His military strength is not as strong as the Panshi Army, but his combat power may not be weaker than you."

"knew."

Lin Ruo said in a deep voice: "I will order food, grass and supplies to go first. At dawn, the main force of the Panshi Army will secretly head north and occupy the favorable terrain of Cuiyu Mountain as quickly as possible."

"It's time for me to go back and arrange it. See you on the battlefield."

Lin Zhao raised his head and took another sip of wine, and smiled and said, "Your Panshijun's wine is really not very good."

Lin Ruo laughed: "If you can live in this battle, and go to Baidi City in the future, I will invite you to drink the best wine in Baidi City!"

"Okay, that's what you said."

Lin Zhao smiled with a fist and turned around and flew away from Gu Xiguan. Lin Ruo looked at the back of this brother, and his heart was mixed. Lin Zhao didn't have to participate in the war at Gu Xiguan, but he came anyway.

...

Snowy Tianchi, at dawn.

Smokes were rising in the camp, and the battalions had already started cooking, and the big cakes were baked one after another. I don’t know when I would come back this time, so it’s not a bad thing to bring more food. In addition to the food that people eat, all the cavalry were also starting to bundle the food of the war horses. Thick fodder was hanging on both sides of the war horses. At the same time, the cavalry also received a large amount of soybeans from the material warehouse, not for people to eat, but for feeding horses. Long-distance raids consumed a lot of physical strength to the war horses, especially in the few hours before the charge, if the war horses were fed some food, the physical strength of the war horses would be more lasting.

"Sir, please make up."

Mu Zuo was wearing a military armor and clamped his helmet under his armpits, saying respectfully: "Half of the cavalry who released the military farms came back one after another. Now there are about 30,000 iron cavalry that can go down the mountain on the Snowy Tianchi Lake."

"Thirty thousand..."

Lin Zhao frowned: "It's almost done. After the Iron Cavalry went to fight, Lao Huang, Mu Zuo, Chen Ben, Xu Sheng, you four complex troops led their troops to charge and assault."

"Yes, Lin Shuai!"

The four generals clasped their fists together.

"Bai Zhi, Tang Guangjun."

Lin Zhao looked at the other two great sword immortals.

"grown ups!"

"Master of the Mountain!"

The two nodded together.

Lin Zhao took a deep breath and said, "The Dragon Boat will follow us to fight. You two will set out swords on the Dragon Boat. The task of protecting the entire battlefield will be handed over to you. Wherever you need to put out the fire, you can drive the Dragon Boat wherever you need to put out the fire. At the same time, you must strictly prevent sneak attacks from the Five Realms of the Demon Clan. You two twelve Realms, plus one Dragon Boat. Even if the Demon Clan comes to the Thirteen Realms, it should be able to stop it, right?"

"It can be stopped!"

The two nodded.

"OK."

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Tang Guangjun."

"The Lord of the Mountain..."

Tang Guangjun's body trembled, and the sloppy military strategist hurriedly clasped his fists: "Tang Guangjun is waiting for dispatch!"

Lin Zhao smiled: "You should give more effort. After all, in this battle, you are not only working for our snowy Tianchi Lake, but also working for the entire human race. The third senior brother said that you have a bad mood. I also think that the reason why I think you have a bad mood is because you, Tang Guangjun, only think about yourself in everything. In your eyes, as long as my realm is high enough, nothing else matters. What you are pursuing is these, but I don't think this is really right. On the contrary, people should have morality in their hearts, so I hope that this time, Tang Guangjun, you are making a sword for the morality in the world."

“Moral…”

Tang Guangjun frowned: "Yes, the mountain master, remember it!"

"After the fight, I will give you a title of offering to the last seat of the mountaintop villa when I come back." Lin Zhao said with a smile.

"ah?!"

Tang Guangjun was extremely surprised: "Thank you, Lord of the Mountain!"

But then, he shyly said, "Master, you shouldn't say this at this time, but you should wait until the war is over. After all, in the legendary novels in the world, this sentence has been basically said, giving the promised person, there is no possibility of survival after going to war. After the mountain master said this, my life will be over..."

"oh?"

Lin Zhao looked at him with a smile on his face.

Tang Guangjun's heart sank. This smile was too scary. The mountain master, a handsome and elegant swordsman, showed his smile and felt as terrifying as the 14th realm monster. He hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.

...

At this moment, Lin Xingchu's voice came from Lin Zhao's heart lake: "Xiao Zhao, come to the Sword Cleaning River?"

"Here you come!"
