Chapter 1206 War Game Deduction
There were several figures sitting in front of the map sand table, pointing at the various small flags on it.
Before Chen Yue left Jianmen Pass, he was conducting a small war game with Xie Xiaolei, Bian Luan and Sheng Nankui, the infantry general of Jianmen Pass.
There are 25,000 troops stationed in Jianmen Pass. In addition to 10,000 Benlei cavalry, there are also 15,000 infantry, all under the command of Sheng Nankui.
When Jianmen Pass had blocked Wan Yanliang for several months, it was the three of them who worked together and combined foot and cavalry to make the royal family of Beijin hate Jianmen Pass.
Chenyue pointed gently in the direction of Jinyang Pass; "If the Yunjin defense line is lost and the Yan army surrounds Jinyang Pass and sends troops to rush towards Jianmen Pass, what should you do?"
Several generals looked at each other, and Xie Xiaolei, who was the commander of Jianmen Pass, was the first to say: "The Yunjin Defense Line is the confidence of Liaodong, and Jinyang Pass is the last link of the Yunjin Defense Line. If you think so, you can't give up easily.
The main force of Benlei Cavalry should be used to attack day and night to rescue Jinyang Pass, and then the infantry should be used to defend Jianmen Pass, close the gates of Shuntan and Shuntan, and wait for the follow-up reinforcements."
Chenyue raised his head and looked at Xie Xiaolei and said, "Jianmen Pass is four hundred miles away from Jinyang Pass. How long does it take for the Ben Lei Cavalry to arrive?"
"Two days and two nights are enough! If the situation is urgent, we can do it faster without sacrificing the strength of the soldiers!" Xie Xiaolei replied without hesitation.
"Two days will be enough, are you sure?" Chen Yue raised his eyebrows, the intensity of this march is not light.
Although war horses are fast, they cannot blindly march all the way during a war. They also have to consider a series of issues such as logistics and whether they still have combat power after arriving on the battlefield.
Bian Luan grinned, took over the conversation and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are definitely not just talking nonsense. I have already done a drill before the whole army of Benlei Cavalry was dispatched. Two days and two nights are enough. If necessary, after arriving at the battlefield
The Thunder Cavalry can immediately jump into battle, and even if it consumes a lot of physical strength, it is by no means incapable of fighting."
"Oh?" Chen Yue raised his eyebrows in surprise. It seemed that Xie Xiaolei and the others were really not idle at Jianmen Pass.
"But have you thought it through?" Chen Yue asked softly: "If there really is such a day, the Yan army enters the country in large numbers, once the Benlei Cavalry leaves the city, the rescue fails, and Jianmen Pass is surrounded again, you will probably go back.
not coming."

The only city wall in the north of Jianmen Pass is comparable to the Yanyun Land. There is no path to sneak into the city. When the time comes when the Yan soldiers move towards the city gate, you won't be able to fly in even if you put on your wings.
There was a slight silence in the hall for a moment, and Xie Xiaolei was the first to speak: "How will you know if you don't give it a try? Even if you can't come back, the general can lead the Ben Lei Cavalry into the vast mountains. No matter how many troops the Yan army has,
It’s impossible to search the entire Yanyun Mountain area.”
Chenyue smiled slightly, and he was very satisfied with Xie Xiaolei's answer. Although it might be difficult to actually operate it, he believed that Xie Xiaolei had this ability.
And taking risks is Xie Xiaolei’s favorite thing to do.
"The Ben Lei Cavalry is dispatched, is General Sheng sure of holding on to Jianmen Pass?" Chen Yue turned to look at Sheng Nankui beside him.
This infantry general who was born in Beiliang also wore an ax on his waist. The Jin soldiers changed their colors when they heard this, and almost never left his body with the axe.
"Okay!" Sheng Nankui nodded without thinking.
"How long?" Chenyue asked again: "If 50,000 Yan troops press the border, how long can you hold on with the 15,000 infantry in the city without reinforcements?"
Sheng Nankui thought for a moment: "There will be no problem within three months, and it will be 50-50 within half a year."
At first, Chenyue placed only 10,000 infantry troops at Jianmen Pass. After the war on the Liaodong front started, another 5,000 troops were transferred from Jianmen Pass. Now, the extra 10,000 troops in the city are the new recruits that have been expanded this year.
In terms of combat strength, they are not first-class infantry.
Chenyue said softly: "If there are no reinforcements, can Jianmen Pass hold on to the last soldier?"
Sheng Nankui's expression sluggished slightly, and Xie Xiaolei's faces also showed solemn looks.
What Chenyue said was the worst case scenario. The main force of the Liang army was held back in Beiliang and could not be used to support Liaodong. Then they would have to rely on themselves to fight the war.
Sheng Nankui cupped his fists and shouted softly: "I don't dare to say anything else, I am still in the city. When the city is destroyed, all of our fifteen thousand soldiers at Jianmen Pass will definitely be dead in the battle!"
Although the soldiers in the city are mainly recruits who have never been on the battlefield, these Liaodong soldiers know that Jianmen Pass is the last barrier to the land of Shuntan, and their parents and family are behind them!
The last moment of the battle is the final promise to the prince!"
"Okay!" Chen Yue nodded heavily, feeling relieved with these words.
…
Early the next morning, Chen Yue led his subordinate Baima Yi to slowly walk out of Jianmen Pass. Xie Xiaolei and Leng Guinan escorted him out of the city.
The trip to Jianmen Pass is over, and it's time for Chenyue to go to the Yanyun Land.
Chenyue turned his head and glanced at Jianmen Pass behind him and said: "If we encounter an enemy at Jianmen Pass, logistical supplies will not be a problem. The only thing that worries me is that there may not be enough troops. Xiaolei, you must be aware of what you will encounter in the future.
It may not be 50,000 Yan soldiers, it may be 100,000, or even more!"
There are only so many troops stationed in the entire Liaodong. Half of the elites are on the Yanyun front line. It is impossible for the cities in the interior to leave no soldiers. Moreover, there is an army of 20,000 troops stationed at the border of Pinghan Road. That army and horses are absolutely impossible.
Do not move.
Although the Chang family has good relations with Liangdi and sent letters of congratulations after Chenyue defeated the Yan army, they are not one of their own after all, so they need to be cautious.
As a result, there are only so many soldiers and horses that can be allocated to Jianmen Pass.
Xie Xiaolei grinned: "Don't worry, my lord, the Jianmen Pass is not called for nothing. Previously, I asked General Sheng to simulate the attack on Jianmen Pass as a Yan army, and found that there is no clever way to attack the city, and the only way is to use human lives to attack the city!"
I believe that no matter how hard they risk their lives, the soldiers and horses in the East Courtyard should think carefully about whether they can cross this great barrier when they leave tens of thousands of corpses at the foot of the city."
Leng Guinan also echoed: "The weapons, grain and grass stored in the Jianmen warehouse can be used by the defenders at any time. The Jianmen Pass without logistical worries will definitely make the Yan people tremble."
"That's very good." Chenyue smiled. Since he lingered at Jianmen Pass for a long time this time, he felt relieved a lot.
Xie Xiaolei added: "The people of Jianmen Pass are fierce and fierce, and there are many hunters in the city. Even if there are no reinforcements in the interior, the general is confident that he can raise thousands of troops in just a few days. These people don't need to
If you practice, you can defend the city, so your lord does not need to worry."
"Haha, with your words, I feel relieved." Chen Yue got on his horse and laughed:
"Goodbye, both of you!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
