Although gunpowder is a weapon of war, it does not mean that gunpowder is invincible.

With the evenly matched forces in Shuocheng, even if the gate of Shuocheng is blown up, it will be difficult to easily take Shuocheng for a while.

The Liao army chose to shrink its forces and defend the city, which shows that the Liao army in the city is ready to fight to the death.

In the entire northwest, and even between the Song and Liao countries, the Yang family was definitely the premier expert in defending the city.

Lao Yang has fought all his life, and nine-tenths of the time is spent defending the city.

Yang Da joined the army at the age of fifteen, and now he is in his thirties, and he has also guarded the city for nearly ten years.

Therefore, in the face of a group of stubbornly defending defenders, even if the revival army wins, it will be a crushing victory.

This is not in line with the core operational idea conveyed by Yang Qi.

While Yang Da was hiding in the tent and thinking about the countermeasures to break the city with a sad face, Yang Wu put on his heavy armor that belonged to the Iron Cavalry and entered the big tent with heavy steps.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Yang Wu shouted, "Big brother, Shuocheng is not easy to fight, they are defending the city, we have no other means than to attack." If you attack strongly, the loss will be too great.

If the revival army is all consumed in Shuocheng, how will I explain to the seventh brother after I go back.

Or you have to find a way to lure people out.

As long as they dare to go out of the city, I will lead the Iron Cavalry, and a single charge will take them all down. ”

Yang Da raised his head, glared at Yang Wu, and said angrily, "You think I don't want to lure them out?" It's because they're cowering in the city and can't come out, so I have a headache. ”

"Where's gunpowder?"

"Gunpowder is of little use, even if the city wall is blown open, the only one who can resist the defenders of the city is still the Revival Army. The terrain and houses of the city limit the charge of your Iron Cavalry. ”

Yang Wu scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "Then what should I do, I can't just consume it like this, right?" The life of the seventh brother is still in the hands of Zhao Guangyi's old boy, if Zhao Guangyi's old boy uses the topic to play and buckle the hat of delaying the military plane, the seventh brother will be in danger. ”

Yang Da had a bitter face and said worriedly: "I'm also worried about the safety of my seventh brother." But when the seventh brother handed over the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command to me, I had to do my best to hand over the hundreds of thousands of soldiers to him in their original form after the war.

We have to take care of the safety of the seventh brother, and we also have to take care of the lives of our soldiers. ”

"There's no better of both worlds?"

Yang Da shook his head and pondered for a moment.

Yang Da said to Yang Wu: "If you want to go and call the formation, let's see if the Liao people in the city are fooled." If they come out, you try to release the water, lure them in, and lure them out. ”

"Drain the water?"

Yang Wutou shook like a rattle, and he said very resolutely: "I can't do such a thing as releasing water." My men and I will only do one thing when we see the enemy......"

"That's the charge!"

"The iron hooves crush the past, no matter who stands in the way, and crush it in one fell swoop."

"Letting me and my soldiers release water can easily affect the arrogance that I have trained them with great difficulty."

“……”

Yang Da rolled his eyes and glared at Yang Wu.

Let you pretend to release water, but not really release water.

But if you think about it carefully, what Yang Wu said is not unreasonable.

The Iron Cavalry is proud.

Everyone in the Iron Cavalry is prouder than the battalions of other armies.

Once this spirit is cultivated, on the battlefield, they are killing machines that are not afraid of any enemy.

Destroying their spirits is clearly not good for them.

Coupled with a general like Yang Wu, this group of guys may not be able to do a perfect job of releasing water.

Sometimes, releasing water is also a technical job.

Yang Wu glanced at Yang Da, who was frowning and contemplative, and said lightly: "This kind of thing is such as releasing water, and the soldiers of my Iron Cavalry Army can't do it." But I know someone is coming. ”

Yang Da's brows widened, and he asked in surprise, "Who?" ”

Yang Wu pursed his lips and said: "Meng Liang and Jiao Zan of the Iron Cavalry Reserve, Meng Liang is stable and full of wisdom. Jiao Zan's goods look honest, but they are also full of flowers, and they are very bad.

Let the two of them lead the soldiers of the reserves, maybe it will work wonders. ”

Yang Da stood up, patted Yang Wu's shoulder, and laughed: "You have such a good subordinate, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

For a fierce general like Yang Wu, Jiao Zan is the person he dislikes the most.

He looked down on Jiao Zan, who was not motivated, and dragged others.

But for Yang Da, the commander, everyone has everyone's usefulness.

This kind of person who is simple and full of fancy intestines, sent out to sneak attack, or perform other tasks, will generally have miraculous effects.

Just because they're naïve doesn't mean they don't have the ability.

A real naïve person doesn't have many fancy intestines in his stomach.

The foolish man with a full stomach and intestines is either hiding clumsy or because of his personality.

For example, the demon king of the mixed world in the Tang Dynasty Cheng bites gold.

That guy feels like a fool, and he has a belly of fancy intestines behind his back.

It's just that such a person has become the guy who lived the longest and most nourishing among the founding heroes of the early Tang Dynasty.

Yang Da likes this kind of foolish stuff with a full stomach.

Easy to use.

If he commits a big stick, he will obediently admit his mistake.

If you make a meritorious service, give him a lot of rewards, and he will happily take them back.

This kind of person makes people don't have to think too much about him when they clean him up or reward him, let alone think too much.

Yang Wu obviously saw Yang Da Aicai's thoughts, and immediately said with a straight face: "If you take a fancy to that fool, you can transfer him to your revival army at any time, and I will release him at any time." But you can't blame Meng Liang for taking away. ”

Yang Da glared at Yang Wu and scolded, "Now is the time to think about these things? The war is urgent, so why don't you go and call those two guys over. ”

Yang Wu reluctantly got out of the big tent and asked people to call Jiao Zan and Meng Liang over.

Not long after, Jiao Zan followed Meng Liang to Yang Da's tent with the steps that his six relatives did not recognize.

Yang Wu looked at Jiao Zan's steps that his six relatives didn't recognize, and he became angry, as if Jiao Zan was up and down, and there was nothing that he could look at.

However, Yang Da's gaze at Jiao Zan was full of appreciation.

"General, your name is our brothers, do you have any important tasks to give us?"

Facing Yang Da's appreciative gaze, Jiao Zan's eyes lit up and he asked in a babbling voice.

Yang Da nodded, "There is an important task to be entrusted to you. If you can complete this task, this battle for Shuocheng will be counted by General Ben for you.

Once the city is breached, General Ben will allow you to be the first to plunder. ”

When Jiao Zan heard this, he was overjoyed, he patted his chest and said: "What task does the general have, just give orders, and I will definitely help you do it properly." ”
