Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Ye Shaolong directly began to change the topic. The anger in Su Can's heart had just been vented on Li Chengke's body, and he would no longer be so angry.

Seeing Ye Shaolong mention the defeat of the foreigner navy, a smile appeared on his face: "The defeat of the foreigner navy is actually all the credit of that Stern Haoran. ”

"Where do you start?" Ye Shaolong immediately frowned.

Su Can said proudly: "Our navy didn't go out at all, and I don't know what kind of consideration that Ste Haoran had, he actually fought with the enemy before the foreigner navy entered the sea area of Tianjin City. By the time we heard the news, we went to support, but the foreign navy had already retreated. ”

These words made Ye Shaolong even more puzzled, and he was thinking about asking further, but Su Can took the first step and said, "Don't ask me why?" I don't know about it. It is estimated that that Stern Haoran could not trust Lin Biao and them, and he was afraid that they would damage the ship lent to us, so he had to send troops to repel the enemy army first. ”

Ye Shaolong groaned, Su Can's guess was indeed very possible, after all, the value of warships was not small. If the Dutch military is sure of victory, it will naturally not want to gamble with its own warships.

Seeing that he continued to ask, Su Can couldn't say a reason, so Ye Shaolong simply didn't ask.

As soon as the two talked like this, the embarrassing atmosphere just now was resolved, and Ye Shaolong put his mind back on the enemy army outside the city.

The crisis in Tianjin City was resolved first, and then he could deal with the more than 60,000 enemy troops in front of him with all his might. The total strength of the two sides is now almost the same.

Although the Yejiabao army still has nearly 20,000 troops left in other cities, Ye Shaolong's current mobilization of troops is only more than 40,000 people.

But this is enough to deal with the current enemy army, after all, Ye Shaolong has taken advantage of the time and place, and he is waiting for work. In the case of a small disparity in troops, there is not much pressure at all.

While Ye Shaolong was thinking about the situation in front of him, there was suddenly a faint sound of gunfire from Beicheng. Immediately afterwards, a fast horse galloped from the direction of the North City.

"Report!"

"Commander, the ambush soldiers outside the northern city have begun to fight with the enemy troops who are going to fetch water. At present, our army has the advantage, but a large number of cavalry is coming behind the enemy, do we need to send troops out to reinforce it? The herald was out of breath, apparently in a hurry.

Ye Shaolong didn't hesitate, and immediately turned to look at Li Chengke: "Immediately take five thousand musket battalion soldiers to support, remember, just repel the enemy army and don't let them get water, don't chase and kill!" ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Li Chengke immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and then hurried down the city with the heralds.

Su Can saw that he had nothing to do, so he immediately became anxious. He came in a hurry this time to show his skills, but Ye Shaolong didn't send him to fight, of course he couldn't bear it.

"Dashuai, why don't you let me help Li Chengke too!" Su Can directly asked for battle.

Ye Shaolong glanced at him, shook his head and said, "You just ran a long distance, so it's not suitable to fight, just accompany me to sit here." ”

Su Can's temperament has a fight with the iron tower, it is all gunpowder, for the sake of his own chance and safety, he naturally will not let Su Can be satisfied.

Seeing Ye Shaolong's resolute attitude, Su Can hesitated for a moment, and finally had no choice but to accept the reality.

Ye Shaolong picked up the binoculars again and looked at the enemy's position ten miles away, and found that the enemy army was actually going to send troops to Beicheng. Ye Shaolong frowned and muttered, "Damn! ”

The enemy army actually continued to increase its troops, and in the long run, it must be a direct attack between the two sides. This is the most unfavorable situation for Ye Shaolong, who occupies the right time and place.

His plan was to wear down the enemy army, slowly wear down their morale, and wait until the enemy's morale fell to the bottom, which was a good time for the whole army to fight.

"No, if this continues, we are too passive."

Ye Shaolong muttered to himself, and then ordered the heralds on standby beside him: "Immediately pass my general order, so that Li Cheng must return to the city with all the Yejiabao troops to defend before the enemy reinforcements arrive." ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" The herald received the order and galloped away.

Su Can was very puzzled by Ye Shaolong's approach, and after a little hesitation, he still opened his mouth to persuade: "Great Marshal, at present, we don't need to be afraid of these Seven Nations Alliance forces at all. Why don't you take the opportunity to press the whole army and kill this wave of people first. ”

In Su Can's opinion, now that the Yejiabao army definitely has the strength to fight a battle, there is no need to worry so much, and there is no need to be cautious and passive defensive.

Ye Shaolong looked at Su Can and was silent for a long time, until Su Can saw that he was panicked. But he felt that there was nothing wrong with his proposal just now, so he regained his confidence and straightened his back.

Seeing that he still didn't understand his intentions, Ye Shaolong felt quite helpless, and it was worth explaining: "Yes, we can indeed fight the enemy army at present." But do you think it is necessary to blindly fight with the enemy in order to avoid the Yejiabao soldiers winning this battle with the least casualties? ”

"War is bound to have casualties ......." Su Can said this sentence very slipperily.

"Bullshit!"

Ye Shaolong directly cut him off, and said: "Yejiabao has finally been in such a situation today, and every soldier is a good son of Yejiabao. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for Yejiabao and fight to the death of the enemy who invaded Yejiabao, and we, as generals, must do everything we can to ensure the safety of their lives. ”

"It's ......." Su Can suddenly had nothing to say.

Ye Shaolong's starting point is obviously correct, it seems that he himself is too reckless!

Ye Shaolong didn't know that when he yelled at Su Can with what he said just now, the eyes of many soldiers around him were full of enthusiasm. Especially more than a dozen deputy generals remembered Ye Shaolong's words.

A general who cherishes his subordinates will naturally be supported by his cherished subordinates, Ye Shaolong has unconsciously completed this step at this moment, once again making his image tall in the hearts of many subordinates.

The gunfire on the Beicheng side quickly subsided, and soon after, Li Chengke returned with a smile on his face, obviously having a good harvest.

"How? Are they all safely evacuated to the city? Ye Shaolong didn't wait for Li Cheng to come to his eyes, so he started to ask first.

Li Chengke's face blackened by the musket was full of smiles, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth, and said: "When those enemy troops saw us sending troops to fight, they immediately turned around and ran, and they didn't dare to confront us head-on. As soon as we rushed out, they began to retreat, running faster than rabbits. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chengke seemed to be very unwilling, but then he said with a smile: "Fortunately, we fought fast, and we still killed a lot of them this time." "Mobile phone users, please browse m. to read, a better reading experience.
