Chapter 1833 Why Defense?

"You bastard, these thieves are worse than pigs and dogs!"

Zuoqiu, who has always been elegant, rarely cursed: "When the two armies are fighting, if the soldiers die, they will die. Why are the innocent people slaughtered!"

The two generals were livid with anger. They were from Liaodong, and the fact that the people of Liaodong were being slaughtered was the most unacceptable thing for them.

What makes them most frustrated is that they are now far away in Gyeonggi-do and unable to do anything.

Just from the short military report, you can tell that the battle ahead was extremely tragic. All the Chifeng City defenders were killed in the battle, more than half of the Lei Cavalry suffered casualties, and the deputy commander Bian Luan was seriously injured...

When did Liang Jun suffer such a big loss in his own rear?

Zuoqiu's eyes were full of worry. He had a very good relationship with Bian Luan, but now his life and death were unknown.

However, both of them knew that now was not the time to feel sad and angry. Wang Shouren was the first to ask:

"Your Majesty, you must have military orders to summon these two generals here. Please give your orders, Your Majesty!"

"Please give the order, Your Majesty!"

They both cupped their fists and shouted.

Both of them could guess that Chenyue would most likely send them back to Liaodong if such a big thing happened.

Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng looked at each other and said:

"Both of you know that Liaodong still needs to face the pressure from the Yan army in the direction of Luoyun City. The troops within the country are really not enough. We must send troops back to Liaodong.

The war in Gyeonggi Province is getting more and more intense right now. Reinforcements from the Long Army are arriving at the front line in a steady stream, and we cannot withdraw too many troops.

Therefore, I decided to mobilize more than 30,000 young warriors trained from the four provinces of Jidong, Jixi, Shannan, and Hebei to reinforce Chifeng City to resist the Yan soldiers, and the Yungu Army will follow them back.

The war in the direction of Chifeng City will be under full command of Zuoqiu, with Shouren assisting him. Do you two have any problems?"

Chenyue looked at the two capable generals seriously. He needed to know whether these two men were determined to stop the Yan army.

The two of them clasped their fists and shouted without hesitation:

"The last general takes command!"

Zuoqiu and Wang Shouren's eyes were surprisingly firm. That was Liaodong, their hometown. Even if they died, they had to die in front of the people.

The reaction of the two people made Chenyue and the other three look at each other with a look of relief. They had indeed seen the right person.

In fact, any Liangjun general standing here would definitely give Chen Yue a positive answer.

Chu Yucheng looked at the two of them calmly, pointed at the map and said:

"Judging from the information currently available, the Yan army is personally led by King Zhou Weiran of the East Courtyard and Marshal Wanyan Bi.

Therefore, the strength of the Yan army entering Pinghan Road must not be less than 100,000, and there will be more later. At least half of the soldiers among them will flock to Chifeng City.

Chifeng City is not like Luoyun City, nor is it Wuguan or Tianlang Pass. It does not have a tall and strong city wall, nor does it have the advantage of a geographical advantage with two mountains flanked by a road.

In other words, no matter how many defenders are filled in, this border pass will be difficult to defend.

How do the two generals think the battle in Chifeng City should be fought?"

Chu Yucheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhuge Mudu also looked at the two of them with interest, wanting to hear if they had any good ideas.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, the safety of the Liaodong mainland is entrusted to these two people, and the burden on their shoulders is:

Very heavy!

The two people standing in front of the map were lost in thought. They were well aware of the disadvantages of Chifeng City. Not only was the terrain poor, but even the city walls lacked repairs. The Liang Army had not been focusing its defense here.

You wouldn't want to build a grand pass comparable to Shuofeng City just to guard against the Chang family, right?

And no one would have thought that one day Pinghan Road would be quietly occupied by the Yan army, without even a moment of preparation time.

The atmosphere in the tent was silent. The two of them were thinking, thinking, thinking...

After a long time, Zuoqiu suddenly took a step forward and murmured:

"The general may have a plan."

There was uncertainty in Zuoqiu's tone, as if he couldn't decide to pay attention.

Chenyue's eyes brightened slightly and he said softly: "Tell me about it."

Zuoqiu looked at everyone and asked: "Why do we have to defend? The Liang army is a soldier who has fought a hundred battles and is a great army in the world. Why can't we attack?"

The Yan army in Dongting cannot be said to be elite, and we, the Liang army cavalry, are not afraid of them.

Offense is the best defense!"

Wang Shouren on the side was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. He instantly understood what Zuoqiu meant.

A smile seemed to appear on the corner of Chen Yue's mouth, and he waved his hand: "Continue talking."

Zuoqiu's voice gradually became louder, he walked to the map and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, Chifeng City does not have an advantageous geographical location, nor does it have a strong wall to rely on, but doesn't Jizhou have one?

Jizhou Town Beiguan is a ready-made grand pass!

It is only over a hundred miles from Chifeng City to Zhenbeiguan. Our army left Chifeng City and walked on mountain roads day and night, carrying light supplies, and could reach Zhenbeiguan in a few days.

By taking Zhenbeiguan, we can hold the throat of the Yan army. If they want to attack Chifeng City again, their army must pass through Zhenbeiguan. If they want to bypass Zhenbeiguan, our army can also send light cavalry out of Zhenbeiguan and attack easily.

The Yan army's food road prevents the Yan army from looking at each other!

Looking at it this way, Zhenbeiguan is simply the lifeblood of the Yan army!"

"Agree!"

Wang Shouren also spoke: "Zhou Weiran and Wanyanbi traveled a long way to attack. They must be eager to win. They would never have thought that our army would take the initiative to attack Zhenbeiguan.

If Zhenbeiguan is captured, Chifeng City will be safe!

In addition, most generals in the army are familiar with the terrain in Jizhou, so we have an advantage over the Yan army."

"Your Majesty, Lord Chu, Mr. Zhuge, what's your plan?"

Zuoqiu opened his eyes wide and asked cautiously. In fact, he knew that this plan was very risky.

Once the army moves out of Chifeng City and fails to capture Zhenbeiguan, the Liang army will be defeated by the Yan army with a backhand. They will be completely defeated and will no longer be able to stop the Yan army in Chifeng City.

"Hahaha!"

In the astonished gazes of the two people, Chen Yue actually laughed loudly:

"Haha, Yucheng, how are you? The two generals didn't disappoint us, did they?"

"What a great talent." Chu Yucheng gave a thumbs up: "He thought of working with us."

The two of them suddenly realized that Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng had already thought of this method, but it was just a test of their brains.

The two of them smiled bitterly, but the fighting spirit in their hearts gradually rose.

Chenyue stopped laughing, replaced it with a serious expression and said:

"The strategy is like this. How to fight the battle will be left to the two of you once you get to the front line to make plans. In a word, the battle on the front line will be completely left to you two.

Go back tonight and immediately mobilize the Yungu Army to assemble. We must set off tomorrow. The young and strong soldiers from the four roads along the way will meet you on the official road one after another.

Military food and supplies were provided by local governments. The army traveled lightly and under the stars and at night, returning to Liaodong as quickly as possible.

There is also a military order for the Right Cavalry Army Bu Wenshan. The Right Cavalry Army selects 3,000 elite soldiers to join the Ben Lei Cavalry so that the Ben Lei Cavalry can quickly regain its combat strength.

In the sneak attack on Zhenbeiguan, the Thunder Cavalry will definitely come in handy."

"promise!"

Murderous aura rose in Chenyue's eyes:

"I have said that the people of Liang are the backbone of the Liang Army. Now that the people have been brutally murdered by the Yan people, it is my shame, your shame, and the entire Liang Army's shame!

Remember, guard the border, and the Yan army will not be allowed to enter the country without a single soldier!"

The two of them looked angry and determined, clasped their fists and shouted:
Chapter completed!
