Chapter 542
At this point, Jiang Ming nodded to Chen Xuan beside him.
Seeing this, Jiang Tianxiao and the others were somewhat puzzled.
Without saying much, Chen Xuan took out the Gold-Eating Insect that he had taken from Jiang Ming.
"This is the key to turning the tide of the first battle." Chen Xuan showed the Gold-Eating Insect in his hand to everyone.
Clearly, among the Jiang family's thousand-year-old lineage, few could recognize the Gold-Eating Insect at a glance. Only Jiang Tianxiao, whose cultivation had been stagnant for years, had begun to study unorthodox techniques and had seen a similar insect in an ancient book.
"Yes, the Gold-Eating Insect?" Jiang Tianxiao stood up abruptly and looked at the golden insect in Chen Xuan's hand in surprise.
"That's right, everyone should know about this thing's ability to locate and track in real time."
Chen Xuan smiled and looked at the group, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Before the five left, they knew that Jiang Ming was seriously injured. With their knowledge and understanding, they could not imagine that the Gold-Eating Insect could be removed in a short time, let alone that Brother Jiang Ming's severe injuries could be healed in a short time. This information would mislead them and cause their attack plan to deviate from the optimal course."
Chen Xuan scanned the crowd and said, "If the location of the Gold-Eating Insects remains unchanged, then they must know that Brother Jiang Ming has not left the Zelin Sea area. They might even speculate that the Jiang family's higher-ups will set up a new defense line in this natural barrier of Zelin Sea."
"With so much subconscious misguidance, when they attack again, they will focus more on the Zelin Sea area and Bai Li, rather than on the killing trap we set in advance."
"And the killing formation..." Chen Xuan looked at Jiang Tianxiao and the others, whose faces were already showing joy, and said, "is the formation that is best at holding the defensive line. I am not very good at this, but I know a little about formations."
Chen Xuan's analysis was somewhat reserved; after all, one should not be too ambitious and should leave room for maneuver so that others will not fear one's strategies and wisdom.
Now that the so-called new operational strategy has been developed, it's time for each side to share their insights and ideas.
"not only that!"
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Tianxiao's eyes gleamed with hope. He looked at Chen Xuan with great admiration and said, "With the three overlords joining forces, and with cultivator sects secretly supporting them, how will they fare against such a vast disparity in strength?"
"Hahaha, of course they wouldn't believe that my Jiang family would dare to plot and kill them!"
"Prepare in advance, underestimate the enemy, and take advantage of their unpreparedness... Hahaha, if the first battle goes smoothly, we will surely inflict heavy losses on them!"
The dejected expressions on the faces of the elders of the Jiang clan vanished, replaced by boundless excitement and anticipation.
Looking at Chen Xuan's retreating figure, Jiang Ming felt genuine admiration. Such insightful and cunning deductions made him feel inferior.
Immediately, Jiang Tianxiao informed Chen Xuan, an outsider, of all the resources that the Jiang family could mobilize.
When Chen Xuan learned that the Jiang clan actually had 5 Red Armor Guards who could form a large-scale joint battle formation, he was also taken aback.
When he was in Jiangshan City, he learned from Jiang Ming that the Crimson Armor Guards were all cultivators at the Innate Realm.
The 50,000 Crimson Armor Guards formed a united battle formation, which, if used properly, could turn the tide of battle.
Of course, this is on the premise that the opponent does not have an overwhelming opponent, such as a powerful expert in the Myriad Manifestations Realm or even the Primordial Spirit Realm who also controls a battle formation suddenly appearing on the field.
"Young friend Chen Xuan, my thoughts are..."
Immediately, Jiang Tianxiao waved his hand and took out a detailed map of the Jiang clan's territory, which clearly pointed out the terrain of the Zelin Sea area and several strategic passes that were easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"The 50,000 Crimson Armor Guards, working together perfectly, can allow my Jiang clan to produce 10 Myriad Manifestation Realm experts in a short period of time. Of course, the Myriad Manifestation Realm experts under the blessing of the great formation are naturally not comparable to those who have truly broken through to the Myriad Manifestation Realm. After all, we cannot use Earth-rank magic treasures and the unique methods of Myriad Manifestation Realm experts."
"What I mean is to split into three groups and set up a trap around Zelinhai, waiting for the enemy to enter the trap. Once a large number of enemy troops enter the trap area, we will immediately activate the formation and kill them."
As he spoke, Jiang Tianxiao pointed out several of the best ambush locations he had envisioned.
Upon seeing the three excellent ambush locations, all the members of the Jiang clan smiled. Judging from the terrain of the area, these three locations were undoubtedly excellent for setting up an ambush.
However, Chen Xuan had a different opinion after seeing the three locations pointed out by Jiang Tianxiao.
Of course, he was just an outsider in this pre-battle planning, and even if he had some ideas, it wouldn't be appropriate to dampen their enthusiasm.
However, Chen Xuan had indeed underestimated Jiang Tianxiao's high regard for him.
Looking up casually, Jiang Tianxiao was taken aback when he saw Chen Xuan's clear eyes, without any sign of surprise. He smiled and asked Chen Xuan, "Young friend, you seem to have a different opinion?"
Upon hearing this, all the members of the Jiang clan, including Jiang Ming, looked at Chen Xuan, who had remained silent.
“Brother Chen Xuan, you can disregard all concerns and speak freely at this meeting.” Jiang Tianxiao, after observing the scene, concluded that Chen Xuan possessed unparalleled leadership skills and tentatively asked this question.
Chen Xuan glanced at Jiang Tianxiao and the group of Jiang clan members, "Then I'll share my thoughts, which may differ from what you all think."
The mystery of the authorities is that if every meeting is just a chorus of voices of agreement, wouldn't it become a one-man show in the central government?
Therefore, Jiang Tianxiao was quite expectant when he heard that Chen Xuan had other ideas. Of course, this was only on the surface. After all, he was an old man who had lived for nearly four hundred years and had led dozens of large-scale wars of hegemony. Based on his experience, the three ambush locations he had marked should be absolutely no problem.
Upon hearing Jiang Tianxiao's words, Chen Xuan nodded and turned the map around.
He looked at all the high-ranking members of the Jiang family present and said, "These three locations for setting up the killing traps are indeed perfect on the map, and can even be described as ideal."
To overturn someone else's plan, you must first agree with and praise it; this is simply a way of acknowledging and respecting the other person.
Only then can one express their own opinion.
That was the case at the moment. With Chen Xuan's affirmation, Jiang Tianxiao nodded in satisfaction.
However, before Jiang Tianxiao's grin could widen sufficiently, the next sentence abruptly stopped his smile.
"Oh? I wonder what insightful opinion you have, young friend?"
Chen Xuan ignored the change in Jiang Tianxiao's expression and instead pointed out an excellent ambush location at the forefront of the map.
He scanned the crowd and said, "We cannot assume that the three major powers will completely abandon their human instinct to avoid danger just because the Jiang family has no chance of winning on the surface."
"The decision-makers on both sides of the conflict will consider the overall situation of the combat zone and cannot completely ignore the presence of calm individuals within the local camp."
"These three locations on the map are so strategically important that the enemy will inevitably pay special attention to them. If they are indeed making a cautious and conservative decision, then our ambush will definitely lose the initiative."
"We should also take into account the instinctive reactions of human nature."
When Chen Xuan said this, Jiang Tianxiao and the other high-ranking members of the Jiang family were stunned. After they realized what he meant, they looked at each other and saw shock in their eyes.
