Chapter 51: Paranoia
In the battle of Yepi Pass, Ye Youhuan eliminated an army of Tielin Army.
However, because too many horses fell into the trap, there were only about 400 of the 2,500 iron plough horses captured alive.
Without spending a single soldier, he annihilated the elite of the 2,500 iron plough army, collected thousands of sets of battle armor, and more than 400 different war horses.
For Ye Youhuan's karmic fire army, it is a bumper harvest.
Especially the iron plow horse, with the iron plow horse, you can train one of the strongest cavalry - the iron plow army.
Don't look at only 400 horses, if you use it properly, it will never be a problem to use one as ten.
"Hmm......" Ye Youhuan asked Xu Chang, wanting to see how he was prepared.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Before making a plan, Ye Youhuan had to have a certain understanding of his army.
"Our army has six thousand soldiers, how many archers, how many spearmen, how many swords and shields, how many cavalry?" Ye Youhuan asked his subordinates about their current troops.
"Four hundred cavalry, four hundred swords and shields, two thousand two hundred spearmen, and two thousand archers." It was Zhuge An who answered Ye Youhuan.
He has been personally promoted to hussar general by the princess, and now in addition to Ye Youhuan in the army, it is him Zhuge An.
"I see that the rolling stone and the oil pot are ready, and the arrows should be fine." Ye Youhuan confirmed.
"Everything is ready." Zhuge An said.
"Since everyone doesn't have any good plans, let's defend the city first, and look for opportunities." Ye Youhuan said to the generals.
"Your Excellency!" Meng Fei suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?" Ye Youhuan asked curiously, did he believe that a person with thick lines like Meng Fei could have any good plans.
"Why don't we do it again?" Meng Fei asked.
"You mean poisoning?" Ye Youhuan asked.
"That's right!" Meng Fei said: "Didn't we do this before? ”
Ye Youhuan shook his head and said: "This time, I don't need Zhuge An to remind me that I can think that the other party has suffered such a big loss once, how can he still be fooled, so this time it is wrong to protect the water source, and at the same time, it is possible to set up an ambush and wait for the poisoner to throw himself into the net." ”
"I can try, no one can catch me. General, can you ......"
Meng Fei didn't wait to finish speaking, but he was pulled away.
What grabbed Meng Fei was a dark and thin young man beside him.
This person is the adjutant Meng Fei found for himself after following Ye Youhuan's orders.
He had heard Meng Fei introduce this person.
He was a captive of the surrender of the Liang Kingdom, named Zhu Zhang.
Because of his flexible mind, he was promoted to an adjutant by Meng Fei.
Most of the soldiers who can leave their hometown to serve as defenders in Yan Country have nothing to worry about in China.
The former creep was promoted to the deputy commander, and he jumped many levels in one breath.
Zhu Zhang is a shrewd person who knows what to do to make his life easier.
He knows very well the value of his existence, and it is to sound the alarm for his superiors when they are confused.
So Zhu Zhang grabbed Meng Fei's arm and persuaded: "Boss, I think the general and the hussar general have analyzed the matter very thoroughly, you should trust the judgment of the two of them." ”
"Well, let's do what we are told!" Meng Fei listened to the persuasion and stopped talking.
After that, the meeting set a preliminary plan for the battle.
Defend the city for the time being, use the advantages of the city walls to block the enemy, and observe the enemy's weaknesses to find a way to break the enemy.
After deciding on the strategy, the officials finalized the issue of the defense of the city wall.
Problems of military discipline within the military.
Problems with stability in the rear of Jeju and problems with grain transportation.
At the end of the meeting, Ye Youhuan went to find Princess Jinyu, but had another closed door.
"Hey, I'm here to ask you about the bloodline." Ye Youhuan stood outside the door and said to the princess.
"You don't come, last time you also said that you wanted to ask about the bloodline, but what you did is something that a person can do?" The princess said through the door.
"Huh?" Ye Youhuan said: "You can't just blame me for this, I think both of us are responsible, who made you so beautiful and so charming......"
"General Ye, the big war is coming, can you think about the war." The princess reminded, "If this pass is breached, then we are all finished." ”
"Don't worry." Even if the city pass is broken, I will run away with you.
"When I defend the city, I will also go to the wall." The princess suddenly said that she was going to the city walls to supervise the battle.
"That's too dangerous." Ye Youhuan disagreed.
"I don't care." The princess said, "I will see you defend the city with my own eyes, and if you fail and the pass is breached, then I will jump off the wall and end my life." ”
"What are you doing here?" Ye Youhuan was disgusted that Princess Jinyu always talked about ending her life.
He asked, "Do you still have that dragon dive in your heart?" ”
"You're thinking too much." Murong Jinyu said: "I ended my life because if there is no hope of recovering the country, if there is no hope of recovering the country, then my life will have no meaning. ”
"Got it!" Ye Youhuan pursed his lips and said, "Paranoia, it's really paranoid, how good it would be to be as easy-going as me......"
After a few words with the princess across the door, Ye Youhuan returned in disappointment.
The next day, Ye Youhuan got up when he received the military information and immediately ran to the city wall.
Before he could climb the city wall, he saw thick smoke rising from outside the city.
Ye Youhuan rushed to the wall and saw that the withered grass all over the ground outside the city was ignited.
A small group of enemy troops happened to stay where the bow and arrow could not be shot.
The current situation just verified Zhuge An's words, and the enemy army really burned the dead grass outside the city with a fire.
"Sure enough, you calculated it." Ye Youhuan said to Zhuge An on the side.
"Hmm!" Zhuge An was not surprised.
"They won't be attacking the city again today......"
Ye Youhuan looked at the flames outside the city and said.
But he quickly reacted and retracted his previous words: "No, the soldiers are treacherous, the more we think it is impossible, the more they will take advantage of it, so it seems that they are likely to attack tonight, and we should be carefully guarded tonight." ”
"It's right to be on guard." Zhuge An said: "But the light at night is not enough, which is not suitable for attacking the city, and I don't think the enemy will do such a thing." ”
"So they're going to find a day to storm the city in the open?" Ye Youhuan asked.
"That's right." Zhuge An stroked his beard and analyzed: "I guess they not only want to attack the city openly, but also launch a challenge and ask for a round of generals. ”
Generals are one of the traditions of this world, and they are mostly seen in battles between two armies.
The content of the meeting is that each side chooses five generals, or fights one-on-one for five rounds, or the five generals of each side fight together.
In battle, the momentum of the winning team will increase.
The morale of the side that will lose, or dare not fight, will be left behind.
I don't know how long this tradition of war has continued.
