Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1279

Gao Tianwang had been stationed in Mengmian for a long time and had thoroughly surveyed the surrounding terrain and environment.

The reason he wanted to persuade Wei Wu to give up the idea of ​​setting up an ambush was not because he was worried that Wei Wu did not know how to lead troops into battle.

In fact, they knew Wei Wu well and knew that he was different from those officials in the capital who only knew how to talk.

After all, he personally participated in the war that destroyed Japan and achieved incredible but undeniable victories.

However, things were different in Yunnan than in other places, and he felt it necessary to explain the specifics to Wei Wu in detail.

So, immediately after Wei Wu finished speaking, Gao Tianwang said:

"My lord, this woodland is about five miles away from the Siamese army. The woodland is very vast and can be used to hide the army."

"But this place is not suitable for hiding troops and setting up ambushes. Yunnan is different from other places. This place is full of dense forests infested with snakes, insects and poisonous ants."

"Furthermore, miasma often appears in the forest. If troops are ambushed here, they will die from miasma poisoning before they can even make a move."

After hearing Gao Tianwang's words, Wei Wu chuckled, realizing that the other party had misunderstood.

Cao Cao knew about miasma, but it wasn't actually a toxic gas in the modern scientific sense; the ancients just didn't understand it.

In reality, so-called malaria poisoning is nothing more than an infection caused by bacteria or viruses resulting from mosquito bites in dense forests.

Meanwhile, most areas of Yunnan are subtropical regions with dense vegetation, which releases large amounts of carbon dioxide at night.

This leads to a decrease in oxygen concentration, which can easily trigger hypoxia in people, ultimately resulting in death.

This is what is known as miasma, but Cao Cao never intended to set up an ambush, so he didn't need to worry about it.

"General Gao, you misunderstand. I never intended to lead troops there, so how could I possibly set up an ambush in this woodland!"

"Ah? Then, sir, what is your purpose in asking whether this woodland can be used to hide troops?"

Upon hearing Gao Tianwang's question, Wei Wu chuckled and said:

"Is it permissible to hide troops? They don't necessarily have to be one's own forces; could they also be enemy forces?"

“Since this forest is vast enough to hide an army, I can force the Siamese army to hide in the forest.”

"Then we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop, and let them know the price of offending our Celestial Empire!"

After hearing Wei Wu's explanation, Gao Tianwang felt like his brain wasn't working properly; he couldn't understand what it meant at all.

First, Cao Cao said he would not lead troops there, and then he said he would force the enemy's forces to retreat into the forest to hide.

And they also wanted to capture them all. These sentences were understandable individually, but when put together, Gao Tianwang was completely bewildered.

However, Wei Wu did not explain much about this, but simply made arrangements for Gao Tianwang.

"Alright, you're in charge of taking good care of the camp and ensuring the soldiers recover as quickly as possible. Leave everything else to me."

After saying this, before Gao Tianwang could speak, Wei Wu led Shen Lin away from the military tent and then walked out of the military camp.

The two arrived at a deserted open space. Wei Wu took out a helicopter directly from the system warehouse and then looked at Shen Lin.

"You saw the location on the map just now, right?"

"I've seen the young master!"

Shen Lin nodded in response, and then Wei Wu continued:

"We'll fly directly to the location of the Siamese army and attack them with rockets to drive them into that woodland."

"This time, there's no limit to the number you can launch. Just force them into the forest, but don't launch them all at once."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's promise, Shen Lin's eyes immediately lit up; he absolutely loved the feeling of bombarding with rocket launchers.

"Young master, rest assured, I promise to do as you say and drive them all into the woods!"
