Chapter 584: Xun Yan's decision
The rupture of the handsome flag caused the Han army to be disrupted.
The Han army in the distance just saw their military flag broken from afar, but they didn't know the reason.
The Han army in the vicinity did not know the reason.
All of a sudden, there was everything that was said in the army.
"As soon as the army approached New Taipei City, the commander's flagpole was broken. Is this providential? ”
"Haven't you heard, Yan Ming was once known as Yan Immortal in Chang'an."
"I've heard of it. Back then, he competed with Li Shaojun in Weiyang Palace. I was in the Confederate army, and I was watching from the top of the city. ”
"Really alchemy?"
"That's not it, I've seen gold come out of it with my own eyes. This person is really a Yan Immortal. ”
The rupture of the commander's banner has caused various rumors to circulate throughout the army.
This kind of dialogue is not just played out in one place.
The battle flag is the eye of the army.
The direction of the flag is the direction in which the army is advancing.
Now that the battle flag has fallen, the advance of the Han army has stopped.
Xun Yu and Zhao Xin came to the collapsed Shuai Qi almost immediately.
"What's going on?"
Xun Yu asked a little angrily.
Zhao Xin's face was also gloomy, although he didn't open his mouth to get angry, but everyone knew that he was angry to the extreme.
"Check, check it right away."
Zhao Xin is not a reckless general, he said in a low voice.
Immediately someone came up and docked the broken flagpole together to see what was going on.
It doesn't matter if it's connected.
Immediately saw what was going on where the flagpole was broken.
"It's, interrupted."
The examiners concluded the final conclusions.
Xun Yu and Zhao Xin looked at each other in shock.
Just now, when the flagpole broke, they seemed to faintly hear a dull sound coming from the direction of New Taipei City.
"Could it be that this flagpole breaking is not providential, but man-made?"
Zhao Xin looked at Xun Yu and said in a low voice.
"Don't make a noise. If this is man-made, it would be terrible. ”
Xun Yu looked at the head of New Taipei City, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
"They have this kind of means, and it is estimated that it can only be a single blow to break the flagpole from miles away. Such attacks do not last long or too many times. ”
Zhao Xin analyzed according to his experience.
After listening to Zhao Xin's words, Xun Yu also felt that it made sense.
"It's just a small New Taipei City, even if they have some tricks. Our army of 100,000 can level their territory even if they step on it. ”
The jealousy in Xun Yu's eyes dissipated, replaced by a hint of pride.
Yan Ming back then was his top boss.
Of course, when following Yan Ming, although Xun Yu showed respect on the surface, he was not convinced in his heart.
He always felt that Yan Ming relied on luck to go farther than them.
It's not as good as them, who have fought hard by fighting in war.
On the Korean battlefield, Xun Yu took over the final results. And Yan Ming only fought a battle in Wang Jiancheng.
Xun Yan's pride is even greater.
In the past, he followed behind Yan Ming, and later followed behind Wei Qing.
But after the Korean battlefield, Xun Yu felt that he had become a general in his own right.
Wei Qing guards the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty. And the Xun Yu people pacified the Liaodong Peninsula and guarded the Liaodong of the Han Dynasty for themselves.
"When we set foot on the New Taipei City, we will occupy this place, and all the Donghu and all kinds of miscellaneous ethnic groups here."
Xun Yan's eyes shot with anger.
This anger comes from the breaking of the handsome flag.
When he knew that the flag was not broken naturally, but was broken by his opponent, he regained the courage to fight.
Some people always shout that man will conquer the sky. But once you really compete with the sky, you will be timid.
Xun Yu is such a person.
Knowing the reason for the breakage of the handsome flag, he was not afraid.
Just beside the broken handsome banner, he and Zhao Xin studied a plan to attack New Taipei City.
The strength of New Taipei City, they know. There were 10,000 soldiers.
Of course, the news was before the training of the new army.
If they knew that there were only 5,000 soldiers in the current New Taipei City, they would be even more arrogant and confident.
"100,000 against 10,000 is a crushing attack. In this way, we will take the West Gate as the main direction of attack. Feints on the other three sides. It's best to leave them another exit to escape alive. Once there is hope for life, I believe that if you are not a fool, no one will fight against the Lonely City with an army of 100,000. ”
Zhao Xin's demeanor when he spoke was as confident as his name.
Xun Yu nodded and said, "It's okay to open the net, but you have to set up an ambush not far away." There was not a single person who escaped from New Taipei City. ”
Zhao Xin glanced at Xun Yan and said, "Did Your Majesty say the same?" ”
"Your Majesty is talking about stepping on the New Taipei City. Since you have set foot on the New Taipei City, how can you finish the eggs under the nest? ”
Xun Yu sneered.
"General Zhao Xin, this commander is the main general, and I am responsible for the siege of the city. I will take the west gate as the main direction of attack, and the south gate and the north gate as the direction of feint, leaving the east gate for them to escape. You took 20,000 elite soldiers, ambushed in the direction of the east gate, and when you saw the rebels fleeing from New Taipei City, kill them all, and don't leave any fish that slip through the net. ”
Zhao Xin heard Xun Yan's order, frowned slightly, clenched his fists and said, "Obey." ”
In fact, Zhao Xin's heart was dissatisfied.
Because there are two people, one is the coach and the other is the deputy coach.
Logically speaking, this kind of ambush only needs to send a subordinate general.
But Xun Yan let himself go, that is, to keep himself away from the main battlefield, so as not to grab the credit.
Zhao Xin also understands this.
After all, he used to be a Hun and fought a lot of battles with the Han Dynasty.
Although after surrendering, it was also valued by the emperor of the Han Dynasty. But after all, it's a foreigner.
Even when he went on this expedition, Liu Che deliberately made Xun Yu, who was far less capable than Zhao Xin, the coach.
The purpose is self-evident, that is, to let Xun Yu contain Zhao Xin, and let Zhao Xin, who is slightly more capable, to fight.
When the time comes, Xun Yu can sit and receive the credit.
However, Xun Yu did not see clearly the strategy that Liu Che arranged for him to attack, retreat, and defend.
If he lets Zhao Xin attack, then success is the credit of the coach, and failure is the responsibility of the deputy coach of the leader.
But this fool thought that attacking New Taipei City was just a gesture, and he actually divided Zhao Xin from the army, wanting to enjoy the credit for himself.
If Liu Che, who was far away in Chang'an, knew that Xun Yu had made such an arrangement, he would definitely scold Xun Yu for being a fool.
If New Taipei City is so easy to attack. As the emperor, how could he send out an army of 100,000 to attack New Taipei City.
If New Taipei City is easy to fight, why is Wei Qing's first choice?
If it weren't for Wei Qing, even if he resigned and killed, he wouldn't come to attack New Taipei City, how could Liu Che use Xun Yan.
It's a pity that Xun Yu can't understand Liu Che's intentions at all.
He also thought he had picked up a huge bargain.
At this time, Zhao Xin had already left the large army with 20,000 military horses and began a great detour.
His heart was heavy, because the credit must have nothing to do with him.
It's just that he didn't expect that failure had little to do with him.
