These four people were all powerful men under Chen Changqing. Although they had previously achieved a great victory under Yang Xuan's command, they thought of retreating before engaging in battle, which made them think that Yang Xuan was afraid of fighting.
Being afraid of fighting in the face of an enemy is a taboo for a general, and can easily lead to low morale or even collapse.
Faced with the doubts of several people, Yang Xuan also frowned. It seemed that these four people were still not convinced by him. If they did not subdue these four people, what if they deviated when executing their tactics, it would be troublesome.
That's big.
"As I said just now, my habit is to obtain the greatest victory at the lowest cost. The enemy is powerful, and a wise man will not do it if he fights head-on. This is deep in the mountains and old forests. Using guerrilla warfare can save our army.
The lives of soldiers can be effectively killed, so why not do it?"
"You must know that we only have more than 5,000 people, while the Walas have an army of 200,000 in Jiayuguan. Our first goal is to preserve ourselves, and the second is to create opportunities for the admiral to annihilate the enemy."
"Destroy the enemy?"
The four of them looked at each other in confusion. Yang Xuan was exaggerating a bit. With an army of 200,000 Walas, it would be good if they could hold the front line of Wutoubao. As for annihilating the enemy, the imperial court would probably need to send more reinforcements.
Yang Xuan looked at the four of them. It was obvious that Chen Changqing's strategic goal had not been informed to them. Yang Xuan thought for a while and said: "Let's put it this way, the imperial court has no plans to increase troops for the time being. Besides, the Admiral has lost Jiayuguan. If we want to
It can only be recaptured by increasing troops from the imperial court. What do you think will happen to the Admiral?"
As soon as these words came out, the four of them were immediately speechless. They were all promoted by Chen Changqing, and they thought more about Chen Changqing.
Yang Xuan's words woke them up. The Admiral must be held accountable for missing Jiayuguan. It was enough for the Emperor not to investigate him. If he waited for the imperial court to dispatch an army, nothing would happen to Chen Changqing.
If the emperor wants to protect him, what will the other generals in the court think?
"Think about it, if the Admiral takes Jiayuguan back, he might be able to escape punishment."
Yang Xuan began to draw the pie: "Even if we help the Admiral break out of the pass and counterattack Oala, we will not only achieve meritorious deeds, but maybe we can also make the Admiral make further progress."
The eyes of several people were wide-eyed. Yang Xuan's skill in drawing big cakes was beyond compare. Seeing the move of several people, he continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Think about it, it may seem dangerous for us to be behind enemy lines now, but it is also extremely dangerous."
If we can contain the enemy's large army, wouldn't the Admiral have a chance?"
At this time, the heads of the four of them were like chickens pecking at rice, and they kept clicking.
"So, if we want to hold back the enemy, we have to preserve our strength. Otherwise, if we insist on holding on to the camp and suffer heavy casualties, what else can we do to hold back the Wala people?"
These words made the four of them look at Yang Xuan with more certainty, but Yang Xuan also knew that he was still far from conquering a few people, and at least he had to win another hearty victory.
After the enemy army gathered more than 60,000 troops, they still did not launch an attack and stayed there for three full days. In total, it was more than ten days.
The enemy didn't attack, and Yang Xuan didn't rush to take action. He didn't know what the enemy was waiting for. Anyway, he was waiting for Zhang Junbao.
It was impossible for him to let more than 6,000 people fight against an enemy ten times his own. Only when he was sure that Chen Changqing had received the news could he implement the next plan.
Fortunately, on the fourth day, Zhang Junbao finally came back.
After receiving Chen Changqing's reply, Yang Xuan finally felt relieved, not to mention the cage of pigeons.
Next, the Wala people didn't take action, but Yang Xuan couldn't help it anymore.
According to the rules of guerrilla warfare where the enemy is stationed and we harass, Yang Xuan planned to launch a wave.
When Yang Xuan proposed this plan, the four thousand households tried to dissuade them: "Sir, that's more than 60,000 people. Even one person can drown us with his spit."
"Yes, yes, a 60,000-strong army is no joke. If we send people to harass us under such circumstances, we are not going to die."
"Mr. Yang, this move is absolutely unacceptable. The enemy is well prepared. Attacking at this time is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone."
Everyone tried to dissuade him, but Yang Xuan rolled his eyes in anger and slapped the table: "That's enough, who has the final say here?"
Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and did not dare to say anything. Yang Xuan said: "We only need to send a few teams to raid. We are not asking you to fight to the death with the enemy. Why are you all so cowardly?"
These words left several people speechless. Yang Xuan snorted coldly: "Just now you said that I am afraid of war, and now I ask you to harass the enemy. I am afraid that it will be like this. How can you be a soldier for so many years?"
of?"
Several people were so ashamed that they immediately stood up and held their chests high.
"Master Yang, I am willing to lead troops to harass the enemy."
"Master Yang, let me go."
"I'll go, I'll go, don't fight with me."
Yang Xuan nodded silently, his morale was good, so he stood up and waved his hands: "Stop fighting, it's not a big deal. Li Qianhu and Zhang Qianhu, you two each lead your troops and go forward.
Harass the enemy."
The two of them stood in awe and cupped their hands: "Follow the general's order."
Yang Xuan said: "Remember, what I want is not to kill many enemies, but to have a harassing effect. The most important thing is to preserve the safety of my soldiers and retreat after the fight. Do you understand?"
The two of them had not yet put down their clasped hands, and looked at each other, thinking to themselves, how can there be no one who can't die in a war, and the life of his subordinates is the first priority?
Yang Xuan clearly saw the confusion between the two of them, so he added: "Looking back at the merits, I don't look at how many enemies you killed, I only look at how many men you lost. If more than ten people are killed or injured, I will punish you."
Only then did the two of them really understand what Yang Xuan meant. Li Qianhu said, "It's just to scare the Wala people. My subordinates understand."
Yang Xuan nodded and waved his hand: "Go."
The two men were ordered to lead their troops down the mountain. There were many roads in the entire mountain range, and it was impossible for the Wala people to block all the roads. After some harassment, Yang Xuan saw that there was a problem with the Wala people.
That is, these more than 60,000 Wala people do not belong to each other. Under the harassment of Dasheng soldiers, the enemy chased and hid. It was obvious that these more than 60,000 people were not under the orders of one person.
At the same time, Chen Changqing's scouts finally found a message transmission channel and reported the situation here.
Chen Changqing was immediately startled: "You mean, there are more than 60,000 soldiers in the Wala army at the foot of the mountain, preparing to attack Lord Yang's camp?"
The scout handed over his hand: "That's right, because Mr. Yang previously attacked the territory of the Wala people and piled the corpses of more than 3,000 enemy soldiers into mountains, which made the Wala people furious, so they blocked Mr. Yang in the mountains. However, the Wala people temporarily
No attack has been launched yet."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing's anxious expression gradually calmed down. Although he didn't know why the Walas didn't attack for a long time, it was certainly not because they were afraid of Yang Xuan. There must be something wrong internally.
This is the power of the veteran. Yang Xuan had to send people to harass him to find out the problem. Chen Changqing just listened to a few simple words from the scout and analyzed it.
