The tactics of guerrilla warfare are very strong!

The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we strike; the enemy retreats, we pursue If we can flexibly apply this method, we may not be able to defeat the enemy, but at least we can stand undefeated!

The Empress sighed, This advisor of mine is truly a talented military strategist!

Even the knowledgeable Empress was impressed, let alone Princess Ziyue?

She exclaimed excitedly, Military advisor, if we master guerrilla warfare, can we defeat Duke Wuxi?

Lin Beifan smirked, What are you thinking? Its not that easy. Although guerrilla warfare is good, it also has significant flaws that we must face and make reasonable use of; otherwise, we will be the ones to lose!

Princess Ziyue was dumbfounded, Such a perfect strategy also has flaws?

Even the Empress, who had just praised Lin Beifan, was shocked!

Her question was the same as Princess Ziyues!

Of course, there are flaws, and quite a few of them!

Lin Beifan smiled, To achieve the level of guerrilla warfare, the speed of movement must be fast, actions like the wind; otherwise, its not called guerrilla warfare! This requires the operatives to have either excellent lightness skills or good legwork, or they must have exceptional steeds!

Regardless of which requirement, only a few people can meet it!

With a small number of people, we simply cannot pose a threat to a large army! In such a situation, we can only retreat according to the 16-word guideline of guerrilla warfare, constantly retreating and unable to engage in combat!

Although we have no losses, the enemy is not eliminated either, and it serves no purpose! Therefore, guerrilla warfare is only suitable for small-scale battles, primarily focused on harassment and training troops!

Its completely impossible to rely on it to win against the enemy!

Princess Ziyue was instantly doused with cold water.

The Empress standing on the rooftop felt like she had been slapped.

Just a moment ago, she praised Lin Beifans tactics, but now he had slapped her in the face so quickly!

Indeed, by skillfully mastering this method, one could stand undefeated!

But the enemy also had no way to defeat it!

It was just going back and forth, completely futile!

So, here, I want to supplement with another strategy! It works in conjunction with guerrilla warfare and produces remarkable results!

What strategy? Princess Ziyue inquired.

Mobile warfare! Lin Beifan smiled faintly.

The so-called mobile warfare is to eliminate the enemy while on the move! Relying on a larger operational space, exchanging space for time, mobilizing forces to surround the enemy, and swiftly defeating them with superior forces!

In summary: avoid the enemys main forces, lure the enemy deep, and concentrate superior forces to defeat them one by one!

Please, advisor, teach me! Princess Ziyue earnestly requested.

Lets still use the previous example as an example!

Lin Beifan cleared his throat, If Duke Wuxi has 100,000 troops, and we only have 50,000 troops, should we fight or retreat?

Retreat! Princess Ziyue answered without hesitation.

If Duke Wuxi has 50,000 troops, and you still have 50,000 troops, should you fight or retreat?

Retreat! Princess Ziyue still answered without hesitation.

If Duke Wuxi only has 10,000 troops, and you still have 50,000, should you fight or retreat?

Definitely fight! And use the tactics of guerrilla warfare to maximize their elimination! But, advisor, Duke Wuxi cant possibly have only 10,000 troops, he has 1 million!

Lin Beifan smiled, Yes, Duke Wuxi cant possibly have only 10,000 troops, he has 1 million troops! But if you break it down into 100 parts, each part having only 10,000 troops, and you lead your 50,000 troops to eliminate them one part at a time, wouldnt you still be able to destroy Duke Wuxi in the end?

Yes! Princess Ziyues eyes lit up.

Thats the strategy of mobile warfare!

When you have 50,000 troops and he only has 10,000 troops, you can decisively move in to eliminate them!

When you have 50,000 troops and he has 100,000 troops, you need to avoid them and find a way to break them down into smaller parts. Then, lure the smaller part with fewer people into your encirclement, allowing you to concentrate your forces and strike!

This method of breaking down can be achieved through guerrilla warfare!

By combining these two strategies, alternating between the real and the virtual, you can effectively strike at the enemy! Even if Duke Wuxi has a large number of troops, you can slowly wear them down!

Yes, yes! Advisor is right! Princess Ziyue nodded excitedly.

Furthermore, there is a third strategy!

This third strategy, combined with the previous two, will complement each other!

Advisor, what strategy is it? Please tell me! Princess Ziyue eagerly asked.

Lin Beifan smiled faintly, This strategy is called tunnel warfare.

Tunnel warfare? Princess Ziyue frowned, finding it strange.

The two women on the rooftop also felt puzzled.

They chewed on the words, unable to understand the meaning.

At this moment, Lin Beifan spoke, The land of Wuxi is all grassland, with flat terrain stretching as far as the eye can see. There is simply no place to hide! And what youre doing is risky business. Once discovered by Duke Wuxis troops, it will be a disaster! When his army invades and encircles you from all sides, there will be nowhere to escape!

Moreover, in such terrain, playing guerrilla warfare or mobile warfare is easily discovered by them, greatly reducing the effectiveness!

Princess Ziyue nodded, Advisor is right!

So, since its easy to be discovered on the surface, why dont we develop underground?

Princess Ziyue was puzzled, Develop underground?

Tunnel warfare, in essence, is about digging tunnels! Lin Beifan smiled, Underneath the vast land of Wuxi, we can dig a network of interconnected tunnels. This way, when facing danger, we can quickly hide underground! If we want to strike the enemy, we can also secretly move our troops underground and launch unexpected attacks from unexpected locations!

With this, we can advance when attacking, retreat when hiding, and turn any situation into an advantage!

Princess Ziyues eyes lit up, and she stood up excitedly, shouting, Brilliant strategist, please accept my respect!

On the rooftop, the empress applauded, Excellent! Such imaginative methods! Combining guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and tunnel warfare, it will completely outsmart King Wuxi! I am confident that with these three strategies, the remnants of the Slanted Moon Dynasty will become the most formidable enemy of Duke Wuxi!

In the future, just dealing with the people of the Slanted Moon Dynasty will consume all of Duke Wuxis energy. He probably wont have the energy to oppose me anymore! My advisor, you have once again achieved a great feat! Haha!

Congratulations, Your Majesty! Bai Guanyin smiled.

Princess, please rise, theres no need for excessive courtesy!

Lin Beifan quickly helped Princess Ziyue up and said with a smile, As long as we master these three strategies flexibly, we will definitely establish a foothold in Wuxi! The goal of restoring the kingdom is within reach!

Thank you, advisor! If this plan succeeds, you will have made a great contribution!

Princess Ziyue exclaimed excitedly, I will reward you generously, and you shall enjoy boundless wealth and prosperity!

Lin Beifan frowned slightly and said, Princess, thats too much. Im not someone who desires wealth and prosperity! I only like money. Just give me money, and you can keep everything else!

The smile on Princess Ziyues face gradually froze.

Every time he opened his mouth, it was about money, yet he had the audacity to claim he wasnt someone who coveted wealth and prosperity!

What thick skin he had!

The two women on the rooftop were stunned!

This Lin Beifan was truly insatiable!

Advisor, its getting late. Ill go back first and come find you in a few days! Princess Ziyue stood up.

Alright, Princess. Until we meet again!

With that, Princess Ziyue left in a cheerful mood.

The two women on the rooftop also left.

After returning, Princess Ziyue immediately organized the gains from today and had them taken back to train her army according to the tactics discussed, to prepare for battles in Wuxi.

The empress, upon returning, also sorted out the gains from today and benefited greatly.

Who would have thought that Sir Lin not only possesses extraordinary talent, but is also an unparalleled military master!

With the previous theory of faith and now these three major strategies, the people of the Slanted Moon Dynasty will undoubtedly develop rapidly in Wuxi and pose a great threat to Duke Wuxi!

Its amazing how easily the problem of Wuxi can be solved. Wonderful!

Thus, the next day at the morning court, a pile of luxurious rewards was bestowed again.

Reward Sir Lin with ten thousand taels of silver!

Ten rolls of fine silk and ten rolls of satin!

Ten barrels of Jade Dragon Wine!

Lin Beifan and the entire court, both civil and military, were left dumbfounded.

What kind of idea did the empress come up with again?

After a few more days, when the timing was right, Lin Beifan finally unveiled his second invention.

He was ready to make a big fortune again.

During the court session, Lin Beifan reported loudly, Your Majesty, after months of diligent research, I have finally developed an unparalleled water weapon. I am ready for the first test, and I invite Your Majesty and the officials to witness it together!

The officials were in an uproar!

The empress couldnt contain her joy, Sir Lin, is this true? Have you really developed it?

I would never deceive Your Majesty! Lin Beifan bowed and smiled, With this weapon, the Great Wu Navy will be unstoppable!

Excellent! the empress exclaimed, Sir Lin truly is a pillar of the nation! If the test is successful, I will surely reward you generously!

The next morning, the empress and the officials eagerly gathered by the river in the capital city to witness the first test of Lin Beifans water weapon.

However, at that moment, the river was empty, with nothing to be seen.

Sir Lin, where is the boat?

Where is the giant steel ship? Why dont we see anything?

Where is the boat?

Hurry up and bring it over for Her Majesty and all of us to see!

Even the empress asked, Sir Lin, where is the boat?

Lin Beifan smiled faintly, Your Majesty, please wait a moment, along with everyone else. The boat will arrive soon! It will be an unprecedented marvel, so please dont be surprised when you see it!

With Lin Beifans words, everyone became even more eager.

Just then, a dozen students from the Imperial Academy arrived with several carts filled with goods.

Lin Beifan uncovered the cloth on the carts and smiled at everyone, Your Majesty and esteemed officials, the time has come to witness a miracle!
