Since it is a secret operation, of course, we cannot use the Application Arrow Formation for cover. If that were the case, it would be better to directly launch the main force's river crossing operation tomorrow! At that time, we could just follow the large troop across the river. That way, at least the target would be relatively smaller.
Luzi was determined to form a Special Forces Unit. Without a typical example, there would be no way to report the application. In other words, the success of establishing the Special Forces Unit was closely related to the success or failure of this secret operation. If successful, there would naturally be something to say upon returning; if it failed... then it was likely that none of them would have another chance to return to the main camp.
"Don't use Application Arrow Formation! Let's sneak over quietly."
Hearing Luzi dismiss all support, Li Xin looked at his companions. "General Meng is getting old and unattractive; it's best not to go winter swimming."
Upon hearing this, Meng Wu immediately started to take off his clothes to go outside and rub snow on his body. After some persuasion from everyone, he finally calmed down. Li Xin repeatedly apologized, saying he had a big mouth. He asked for forgiveness and hoped that Meng Wu wouldn't hold it against him.
Meng Wu was still grumbling about it and patted his chest, declaring that he could eat five pounds of beef at each meal now. "Just so you know! I’m signing up for this operation! Don’t say winter swimming; I can even jump into a sea of fire!"
In the Warring States period, anyone over forty was considered elderly. Although Meng Wu was not yet that age, he was already referred to as an elder by his brothers. With such words from the elder, the younger ones felt it inappropriate to say anything else.
Since they could attend the pre-battle meeting, they were naturally part of the operation personnel. Luzi had pulled Meng Wu from Lightwolf Fortress for convenience's sake. Although this operation did not require Arrow Formation for cover, it did not mean there were no deployments.
Fortunately, Li Xin had over a thousand soldiers available for mobilization, so he did not ask Wang He for additional help. Normally, Luzi would need to handle military transfer procedures upon returning to camp. This meant returning the troops under his command back to the Commander since these soldiers had been drawn from other units.
Wang He naturally knew that once he handed over this troop, he would be left with nothing. Therefore, after completing the procedures, he still kept these soldiers available for Luzi's use. Additionally, he provided another two thousand men to avoid having an awkward number.
The only difference was that these two thousand troops were under Luzi's command; he could lead them wherever he wanted! As long as there were no intentions of rebellion, everything would proceed smoothly.
After all, they were in a war; having no soldiers on hand was just playing around. Moreover, constantly running to the Commander for troop support was quite bothersome! Thus, Luzi did not hesitate and expressed his respect for the Commander as if it were an endless river flowing continuously.
Luzi did not know that when he left Commander Main Tent, Wang He took out the Imperial Command and looked at it again. It was written above that he should act according to his own judgment in the Chu Region. As for matters requiring military assistance, Wang He would handle them himself.
What does handling it himself mean? It means giving people what they need and providing supplies as necessary. Since that is the case... why not just give you Two Thousand troops! Not enough!? We have more!
If the Imperial Command were not present, it wouldn't matter how good the relationship was between individuals; it would be useless. This is an army, the nation's sharp blade! A single misstep could lead to disastrous consequences, and no one would dare to casually give away troops. Since Wang He had this order, he could boldly treat the army as if it were his own property to offer favors. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to do so even under threat of death.
At first, Wang He was quite troubled. Having such a powerful figure in the army seemed like a hindrance. However, as Luzi achieved remarkable successes one after another, his attitude began to change. From grasping the overall situation to engaging in real combat training, Luzi was professional in every aspect. It seems that Zhao Xiang Wang had his own thoughts on the matter. What those thoughts are remains unclear for now, but with time, the results will surely reveal themselves!
The army is meant to serve the Sovereign. Since King Zhao has his own plans, there is no need for us to stand around like fools! Understanding this point, Wang He's later military commands were primarily centered around Luzi's plans. This explains why when Luzi proposed to temporarily halt the main force's crossing of Dan Shui River, Wang He immediately ordered a stop.
Since there were Two Thousand troops at hand, seeking support from Commander Application Arrow Formation seemed a bit excessive. Ever since the Qin Army's Arrow Formation was established, the primary training for Qin Soldiers has been effective coordination. In other words, these Two Thousand troops are the best Arrow Formation.
For this Arrow Formation commander, Luzi intended for Meng Wu to take charge. Li Xin comes from a family of archers. The term "archer" refers to bows and arrows rather than crossbows, so he cannot command the Crossbow Arrow Formation. Additionally, since he possesses exceptional archery skills, his participation in covert operations would provide special teams with long-range support.
Meng Wu was not pleased to learn he would not be crossing the river. However, he understood the importance of covering the team's retreat and stated that they would arrive at the riverbank as scheduled to provide Arrow Formation support during the late night of their return.
The covert operation to infiltrate Dan Shui River Zhao Army camp was thus finalized with this deployment: Meng Wu would lead the Arrow Formation to ensure the safe return of the team while Luzi would lead Wang Jian, Li Xin, Chang Yu, and seven associates from Prosperity Record across the river to execute their mission. The operation was scheduled for midnight that day, with a return time set for three days later at the hour of the pig.
The reconnaissance mission resembled that of scout reconnaissance; therefore, sufficient rations and basic defensive weapons needed to be brought along. As for weapons, they would still follow old practices by equipping Qin State's latest Crossbows and Bronze Longswords. Considering they could not make a fire, all rations carried would be cooked food.
With plans assigned, all that remained was rest and preparation. Luzi originally intended to document these methods for future reference in order to integrate materials into what would become the basic configuration of future Special Forces Units. Of course, it is still just a prototype or even an idea at this stage, but having an outline is essential. He believes it will gradually improve and ultimately become the sharpest part of their blade.
Lu Zigang wanted Xiao Yu'er to prepare ink and paper but noticed that Meng Wu and others had not left yet; he then asked, "Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?"
Meng Wu looked at everyone and suggested, "General! Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so let me take you there. Let Wang Jian be the captain, and I will be the deputy."
Luzi did not respond directly but turned to look at Xiao Yu'er and asked, "Can I wade in now?"
In fact, Luzi had already discussed this matter with Xiao Yu'er. At that time, the question of whether his body could enter the water was just a side note; the main purpose was to inquire about ensuring the personnel could safely cross the icy water. Swimming in the river during winter is no joke; if someone gets frostbite, it would be a significant loss.
It's always better to rely on expert opinions, which saves time and avoids prolonged discussions that delay material preparation. Xiao Yu'er immediately informed everyone that besides Luzi, she would also participate in the river crossing operation.
