Chapter 333: Deployment
Yan Wuxing said, looking at Zuo Qiyang, his eyes were full of questions, and even faintly mixed with some expectations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yan Xiye was surprised when he saw this, but he thought that Zuo Qiyang's words just now were not only reasonable, but also helped Brother Yan avoid many detours, and thought that in today's war era, it is not as good as usual, and a simple decision may bear the life and death of many people behind it, he immediately understood Yan Wuxing's thoughts, and he couldn't help but look towards Zuo Qiyang.
Zuo Qiyang looked down at the crescent moon on the map that symbolized the Niutou Mountain where the three people were located under the gaze of the two of them, and groaned for a while, before he raised his hand and pointed to the westernmost part of Longji Mountain, and said: "Instead of sending troops north from here, it is better to send an order to the past and send some of the men and horses stationed in Longwei Valley to go south." ”
Yan Wuxing and Yan Xiye, who were standing on the three sides of the map with Zuo Qiyang, were a little shocked when they heard this.
Yan Wuxing seemed to be a little incredulous, and asked repeatedly: "There are only 5,000 officers and soldiers left in Longwei Valley now, and then we have to send people to the south to evacuate the people in the north. ”
Zuo Qiyang expected that he would have such worries, and nodded when he heard this: "Now the 20,000 people who are going south with you have come day and night, and if you have to go north overnight to evacuate the people, even if they have no complaints, their energy will definitely be poor, and it will be difficult to be efficient, but Zhu Ciyi's people are about to break through the last line of defense of Longji Mountain, and now for us, time is everything."
"The soldiers in the south are different, they have been guarding the Longwei Valley, waiting for the arrival of the enemy, the spirit is highly nervous, but they can't move under their feet, their hearts must have been filled with anxiety, at this time, they are sent south, knowing that they are evacuating the people, but also to give themselves a chance to escape from the frontal battlefield in the south, I believe that many people will be grateful, and the evacuation work will be completed much more smoothly.
"And, there's one more. Now that Longwei Valley has been abandoned by the Empress Dowager, and you, the general who was supposed to stick there, are no longer there, and the dragons there are leaderless, I am afraid that they are just a group of victims used by the imperial court in exchange for time, such sacrifices, will five thousand be too much? ”
Yan Wuxing sighed and said a little weakly: "I don't think so. But 5,000 people against Zhu Ciyi's 200,000 army, how long do you think you can resist? If the troops are to be reduced again, I am afraid that Dongyuan's army will be on the ground. At that time, not to mention the people in the north, even Gaoxiang, where we are located, and even Xijing, will be in danger. ”
For a while, Zuo Qiyang was speechless.
200,000 people, such a huge number, just thinking about it, is already too heavy to breathe.
In the tent, all three of them lowered their eyes, looked at the map in front of them, and were speechless.
After a long time, Yan Xiye suddenly looked at Yan Wuxing and asked: "It's not that Longwei Valley is a valley dug by hand, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in this case, two or three thousand people are stationed there, not to mention the chance of victory, don't you even have the ability to drag down the enemy's footsteps?" ”
Yan Wuxing looked at the somewhat naïve prince, shook his head and said: "Even if it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is just a valley for passage after all, there are too many people on the other side, even if the most simple and crude crowd tactics are used, as long as there is a gap, it will ......"
Yan Wuxing's words came to an abrupt end in the middle of speaking, he had an idea, looked up suddenly, and saw Zuo Qiyang also looking at him at the same time, the two eyes met, and smiled, as if he saw a glimmer of light behind the dark clouds.
Zuo Qiyang nodded, signaling Yan Wuxing but saying that it was okay.
Yan Wudaunt couldn't hide his excitement and said to the prince: "There is a way to try. This valley is a man-made valley, and naturally we can rely on our strength to re-block it. ”
Hearing this, Yan Xiye's eyes also lit up.
This method is excellent, if it is placed in peacetime, it takes a lot of energy to dig out the valley blocked, completely cut off the only passage from the west to the north, it is inevitable that the cost is too great, but now is an extraordinary period, if you can use this method to contain the 200,000 horses in the east plain, but you can save the lives of thousands of soldiers from the west, then the cost of destroying the road to the north is insignificant in comparison.
Yan Xiye couldn't hide his excitement and asked, "What method do you use to block it?" His voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Zuo Qiyang looked at Yan Wuxing—that was the place where Yan Wuxing had been stationed for ten years, and he was more familiar with it than anyone else, and he knew better what was the most appropriate way.
Sure enough, Yan Wuxing's thoughts flew around, and he quickly high-fived and said, "Use artillery!" ”
Zuo Qiyang laughed out loud when he heard this, and said "wonderful" in admiration.
Seeing that Yan Xiye's eyes still flashed with a trace of confusion, Yan Wuxing explained: "There are four artillery pieces in Longwei Valley, we ordered people to carry all of them to the foot of the mountain, blast down the boulders and dirt on the top of the valley, and fill the gap in Longwei Valley......"
Speaking of this, Yan Xiye understood, and he couldn't jump up excitedly, and his mouth practiced praising his brother's method of being excellent.
The three of them reached an agreement, and began to plan the details of personnel deployment and specific implementation, and the morale in the camp was high for a while.
The day passed in a flash, and it was not until night fell that the three of them ended their heated discussion, and Zuo Qiyang said goodbye to Yan Wuxing and the prince, so he summoned Li Yuan and Takemoto to talk alone.
He said straight to the point that the prince and Yan Wuxing hoped that he would stay in the army for the next period of time, and he also thought that there were too many variables at this time, rather than living in Gaoxiang and constantly going back and forth between Niujiao Mountain and Gaoxiang City, it was better to simply stay here.
Hearing him say this, Li Yuan and Takemoto both nodded heavily, indicating that they were all arranged by Lord Zuo.
This is the result of years of training as a dark pile, Zuo Qiyang expected to get such an answer, nodded and said: "I called you over, not to hear you express your heartfelt feelings to me, but to sincerely ask, where do you two hope to be placed in the future?" ”
Hearing this, Li Yuan and Takemoto had a faint uneasiness in their eyes.
Mr. Zuo has always been the decision-maker, and he will not ask for their opinions. Now they have to ask themselves how they want to be arranged. Is this a solicitation of opinions, or is it just a heartfelt test for the two?
For a while, both of them fell into silence, and they did not dare to reply to themselves.
Zuo Qiyang was not annoyed, and patiently waited for the decision of the two.
In the end, it was Li Yuan who broke the silence and saluted Zuo Qiyang respectfully, and then said, "My lord, I want to go back to Gaoxiang and continue to protect Xin Zi's safety." ”
Zuo Qiyang was noncommittal when he heard this, and his face was also unwavering, so he turned to look at Li Yuan and asked, "What about you?" (To be continued.) )
