Four hundred and ninetieth chapters attack against attack
Not long after they separated from Chen Shouzheng and the two brothers from Wumeicun, a scout came to report that the 500,000-strong army led by Yelu Zhan had camped a hundred miles away and was expected to arrive at the gates of Nanjing before noon tomorrow at the latest.
After hearing the news, Yang Yanrong was immediately shocked and summoned all the generals for discussion. Although Yang Yanrong's troops this time were nearly 200,000 more than Yelu Zhan's, the combat power of Yelu Zhan's soldiers should not be underestimated.
.The only bad thing about a large-scale melee involving millions of troops is that the army was defeated like a mountain. Throughout the ages, there have been numerous examples of how few can win against many. Therefore, Yang Yanrong was not careless at all.
The generals sat together at the table. The ones sitting at the top were naturally Xiao Chuo, Yang Yanrong and their son. Next to him were Yang Ye, Yang Yanping and other generals of the Song army. On Xiao Chuo's side were Xiao Talin,
Xiao Sigui, Wang Qi, Su Gubieke and others.
Xiao Chuo found Yang Yanrong's initiative of sitting around discussing the military situation quite novel. He looked around at the crowd and said with a smile: "Generals, Yelv Zhan is coming with great momentum. He has 500,000 troops under his command, with Brother Yelv Xiu as the vanguard.
General, we will arrive in Nanjing soon. If you have any opinions on this battle, please tell us!"
Khitan general Su Gubieke, who was born in Mongolia since childhood, smiled widely, cupped his hands towards Xiao Chuo, and said nonchalantly: "They say that soldiers will stop you, and water will cover you, but we have more people, so we'll kill him."
Wang Qi let out a sigh and said with a smile: "You bastard, Yelu Zhan is the number one master in the Liao Kingdom, go and try to kill him."
Sugubieke touched his head, smiled honestly, and did not dare to speak any more.
Yang Yanrong knocked on the table and said softly: "Even though Yelu Zhan is powerful, we are not without people. If predictions are correct, someone will come to deal with him tomorrow morning."
When Yang Yanping and others heard what Lao Ba said, their faces suddenly became happy. Yang Yanping said: "Lao Ba, is this master coming over?"
Yang Yanrong chuckled, shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, with that old man's temperament, he will definitely not let my apprentice suffer, and he might actually come by then."
All the Yang family brothers expressed their disdain in unison, causing everyone to laugh.
Xiao Chuo laughed and shook his head, and said softly: "Eight Lang, Yelu Zhan is a terrible person, you can't take it lightly. Only a master of the same level as him will be qualified to fight with him. However, such a master is rare in the world.
A Yelu Zhan is already an anomaly."
Yang Yanrong smiled, turned around and said, "Mom, don't worry, Yelu Zhan is one of the four great people in martial arts, I know two of them, and they have a good relationship with me, so just say that I
That guy from Master, Long Xiao, I guess even my mother doesn’t know about him, so he can suppress Yelu Zhan firmly. As soon as he comes, we will have a sure chance of victory."
Xiao Chuo said seriously: "Eight Lang, don't rely on unpredictable factors in war. You must integrate all the available resources at hand to cope with the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged. Only then can you defeat the enemy in the ever-changing battlefield."
Yang Yanrong nodded quickly in agreement!
Xiao Chuo smiled slightly, glanced at Yang Ye, and said, "General Yang, you are a general who is good at defending. What do you think?"
The expression on Yang Ye's face froze. He didn't expect Xiao Chuo to suddenly ask him. Seeing everyone looking at him, he thought about it and said: "The first one is Shou. Yelu Zhan has 500,000 soldiers."
Ma, the daily supply of food and grass is a huge amount, and we have enough food and grass, and the reserve in Nanjing City can last us for several years. However, in this case, the only worry is that he will not challenge us.
Instead, we bypass Nanjing and go straight to Yanmen. Therefore, I think that if we want to use the Shouzi Jue, we should divide at least 200,000 troops and return to Yanmen Pass. In this way, the war will last longer, and when the time comes, we will be victorious and defeated.
The two difficulties are explained. The second is to attack. As Yelu's exhausted troops come from far away, we might as well wait and let the whole army attack and catch him by surprise. Of course, this involves risk. The advantage is that we can win as quickly as possible.
Come on, what to decide? My suggestions are only for reference. The Queen Mother and Hachiro have the final say on how to do it."
When all the generals heard this, they all nodded in unison. Yang Ye is known to the world for his good reputation, but they didn't expect that he still had such an adventurous idea. If he did this, both sides would win.
Fifty-five open.
Xiao Chuo thought for a while, nodded and said: "Balang, I think it's better to fight attack with attack. General Yang is right, if we want to end this war as soon as possible, we can only fight a melee. A million-strong army spreads out.
It stretches for hundreds of miles, this kind of fighting style is rare in ancient and modern times!"
Yang Yanrong secretly laughed in his heart. This kind of fighting method has been used in later generations. The wise and great Chairman Mao used it. At the end of the fight, there was me among the enemies and there was the enemy among me. It was impossible to tell who was the enemy and who was me.
As long as the strategy is right, there is a great chance of winning. He immediately made a decision and said with certainty: "Mom, I also agree with this style of play. Because once the melee begins, it will be difficult to dispatch the army, so we need to order everyone
If an officer in a squad encounters this kind of situation, he should not care about anything, and do not need to listen to the general's orders. He can just kill him with all his strength. Hehe, Yelu Zhan would never have thought that we would be fighting with him.
His fine cavalry cannot be deployed, and he will lose to Wu Ning when the time comes."
Xiao Chuo said "Oh" and looked at the son in front of him with great interest. It seemed that this guy had a lot of ideas in his mind, so he quickly said it out.
When Yang Yanrong mentioned the tactics of later generations, the generals around him immediately gasped and secretly shouted for wisdom. Is this the legendary way to win in chaos?
Xiao Chuo saw that everyone unanimously agreed with Yang Ye's strategy, and after Yang Yanrong's addition, he suddenly became confident and said with a smile: "Okay, now that it has been decided, we must convey the order as soon as possible. Don't
It is necessary to let the generals of every brigade and above know about it, so as not to cause a mess and everyone will do their own thing, disrupting the prepared arrangements."
In fact, Yang Yanrong has great confidence in this battle method. He had already had a private quarrel with his father Yang Ye before. The traditional fighting method simply cannot adapt to a battle between more than one million armies. Only
Only when everyone gets into chaos and gets mixed up can there be any hope of victory. Moreover, he has prepared a back-up plan. Of course, this can only be reflected when the battle situation is stalemate, and it has reached the maximum level of this battle.
