"General, should we take advantage of this to get out of seclusion and fight?" Yang Jian asked Yang Su at the side.
At this time, more than half of the Jin army was crossing the river, so it was a good time to attack halfway across the river.
Under normal circumstances, "attacking halfway across" is the best time to attack the enemy. When the enemy is halfway across, if you launch an attack on the enemy at this time, the enemy will not be connected head to tail, and the ranks will be confused, and it is easy to
Defeat the enemy.
Yang Su did not answer Yang Jian's question immediately. Instead, he stared closely at the Jin army crossing the river in the distance, with a look of struggle in his eyes.
As the head coach of the first army, Yang Su has to consider far more than other people around him.
Now, although more than half of the Jin army is crossing the river, it is a good time to attack halfway across the river. However, the general of the Jin army, Yue Fei, still led 30,000 elite soldiers to form a formation on the river bank to cut off the rear of the army crossing the river. At this time, Yang
Su Ruo led the attack and was not sure of victory.
Moreover, the enemy was now crossing the river so openly under their noses. Yang Su had to wonder if there was any other deep meaning in this.
However, now is indeed a great opportunity. If they can take this opportunity to defeat the Jin army, it will greatly ease the pressure faced by the Sui army in Yongzhou this time.
Even if they can seize the opportunity to defeat or even annihilate this Jin army, there is a high probability that they may change the situation of this war.
"General, the Jin thief Li Xiang is also here. Our army must capture the thief and capture the king!" Brother Yang Jian, Yang Jiao pointed to the side of a large flag and reminded.
If they can capture or kill Li Xiang, then when Li Xiang's son Li Yu is still young, the enemy may have huge problems within themselves.
When the time comes, the Sui army will not only resolve this crisis, but they will also be able to take advantage of the opportunity to expand, seize Sizhou, and eye the land along the river to become kings and hegemons.
In fact, Yang Su himself had already observed what Yang Jiao said. However, the greater the temptation, the more dark clouds shrouded Yang Su's heart. This made every time Yang Su wanted to order an attack, he would
I feel like there is an endless sense of crisis coming towards me.
For a long time, Yang Su exhaled a heavy breath, and then sighed helplessly, "No one is allowed to leave the seclusion without authorization. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
When all the generals heard this, they all looked at Yang Su in disbelief. How could they let go of such a good opportunity so easily!
Yang Su paid attention to the expressions of the generals, and the helplessness in his heart became even worse. He knew that it would be impossible if he did not give an explanation to the generals today. If he could not give a satisfactory explanation to these generals, if the generals were at odds, then,
Their chances of winning this battle are even smaller.
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so how could Li Zifeng easily put himself in danger? There must be fraud involved!" Yang Su pointed to the outside of Tongguan and explained to everyone.
"If we can capture the Jin thief Li Xiang, so what if we take the risk!" Although Yang Su's words made sense, Yang Jian still insisted, and Yang Jian's words also represented the consciousness of most of the generals present.
After all, the temptation to win a battle and capture a prince is not something that ordinary people can resist. Under this premise, so what if you take some risks? Is there any battle in the world where you can take no risks at all! More
What's more, the more risky the two armies are in a battle, the greater the benefits they will gain once they succeed.
"We cannot afford to lose, our army cannot afford to lose!" Yang Su looked up to the sky and sighed heavily, the helplessness in his tone was even greater.
Indeed, unless Yang Su and the others can capture Li Xiang himself, even if they win this battle, it does not mean that they have won the overall situation. After that, they will still need to face the army led by Wang Meng, and they will also need to face the army led by Wang Meng.
The army led by Su Lie also needs to face the army led by Bai Qi.
But if they lose this battle and the Sui army loses these 50,000 elites, then what capital will the Sui army have to continue fighting this battle?
Even if the Sui army had sufficient strength, even the loss of tens of thousands of elites would not have an impact on the war situation. Then, Yang Su himself would take the initiative to take the risk without Yang Jian and other generals having to say anything.
Therefore, Yang Su did not dare to take risks. He could not afford to lose, and neither could the Sui army.
"It seems that the Sui army will not leave seclusion. Let Cunxiao withdraw his troops!" Li Xiang ordered Yue Fei beside him.
Just as Yang Su thought, they had indeed set a trap here. As long as Yang Su dared to leave, Li Cunxiao could attack from behind and cut off the opponent's retreat. At that time, the enemy would have no way to escape.
Even, in order to ensure the success of the battle, General Li Xiang arranged for all the strongest generals to come over. The two peak generals Xing Tian, Li Cunxiao, the other twelve Taibao except Li Cunxiao, and the peerless peak level Dian Wei, Lu Wenlong, praised
Father, as well as peerless generals such as Wei Bi and Yang Dayan.
With the lineup sent by Li Xiang, even if Yang Jian was surrounded, it would be difficult for him to survive.
However, this Yang Su was indeed one of the most influential figures in the entire Sui Dynasty when it came to commanding troops, and he was able to resist the temptation and stay in seclusion.
"If you don't leave the seclusion, you won't get out of the seclusion!" Li Xiang sighed in his heart.
Even if Yang Su escaped this time, when the Jin army entered Chang'an through Pubanjin, Yang Su and the others would still be unable to escape.
Li Xiang's Jin army had just left, and Yang Su of Tongguan had already received an order from Yang Jian, asking him to leave Tongguan quickly and defend along the line of the Wei River. As for Tongguan, he only sent a general to lead the Sixth Army in a symbolic manner.
Qianjun soldiers are responsible for staying behind.
Yang Jian was not willing to give up Tongguan just like that. However, once Pubanjin was lost, Tongguan lost its greatest role and could no longer serve the purpose of resisting the Jin army. Now, if he wants to keep Chang'an, he can only guard the south bank of the Wei River.
, blocking all the Jin troops in the northern part of the Wei River.
Yang Jian issued the order, and all the Sui generals up and down Tongguan were in an uproar. They had worked hard to guard Tongguan for several months, but now it was not broken by the enemy, but was abandoned by themselves. How could they be willing to do so!
However, now that Yang Jian's order was issued, the generals at all levels in Tongguan had to obey the order obediently no matter how unwilling they were.
Moreover, most of these generals also knew very well that if they continued to stay in Tongguan, they would only be destroying themselves.
If they do not leave, the Jin army that enters Guanzhong from Pubanjin does not even need to send troops to attack, and will only need to block the other side of Tongguan. By then, their Sui army will be trapped in the pass, unable to advance or retreat. If they wait until
They ran out of ammunition and food, and had no choice but to let the enemy slaughter them!
