Chapter XVIII

Outside the tent, Yang Fan waited for a long time, and finally moved.

"Yang Fan?"

Yang Fan looked at Zu Dashou, his eyes were a little tangled, and said, "Ancestor, I have something to say." Zu Dashou invited Yang Fan to the camp tent and said, "I was about to call you over, but I didn't expect you to come to the door yourself." Here, I'll introduce you. ”

There were also a few people in the account who looked sideways.

"That's the kid you're talking about?" The man on the side of the camp tent looked over, with disdain in his eyes, "I said that you are really kind, dare to find a hairy boy to teach us to fight." ”

"He Kegang, don't believe it, you have the ability, follow the kid to scare. At the beginning of Ningyuan City, Lao Tzu didn't lose less...... "Zu Dashou suddenly realized that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so he immediately shut up, "Yang Zi, this is the deputy chief soldier, He Kegang, just call Lao He." ”

"These three, this is the commander of the Guangning Zuotun Guard, Zu Dacheng, my elder brother. These two are also my sons and nephews, Zu Kefa and Zu Zerun. You can get closer to each other in the future. ”

"I've seen you all below." Yang Fan saluted.

"You two, why don't you give Yang Fan a seat? What a system! Zu Dashou looked at the two nephews whose buttocks were still stuck to the cushion, and immediately turned on his old face and said tigerly.

He Kegang glanced at Yang Fan and said, "Don't be in a hurry to sit, if you want to do it in this camp, you must always show some skills." ”

"What do you mean by this, do you mean that my ancestor Dashou is not using people truthfully?"

Yang Fan opened his mouth and said: "Ancestor, I don't have time to quarrel today, I just want to ask, can this big and small Linghe City not be repaired?" He saw Zu Dashou's look of disbelief, and said more affirmatively, "What I said is true." This is the best way he can come up with, and that is not to repair it, so that this war will not happen, and there will be no way to talk about cannibalism.

"Hmph, Zu Dashou, this is what you call a military genius? Are you here to make trouble? ”

Zu Dashou frowned, knowing that Yang Fan could not have a target, so he said: "Now that Jinzhou is deep in Liaodi, it is difficult to defend in isolation, once the big and small Linghe cities are built and become horns with each other, this Jinzhou City can be regarded as stable." Yang Zi, tell me your reasons. I know you don't sound like. ”

Yang Fan walked to the map, pointed to the place where the Da Ling River and the Xiao Ling River converged, and said, "If the two cities of Ling River are to be repaired, Huang Taiji will definitely come to attack." ”

"Do you still need to say that?" Zu Zerun saw that this young man who was younger than him was pointing fingers in front of Zu Dashou, and he was inevitably unhappy, so he interjected, "The first two times the city was repaired by Huang Taiji, and the guide repaired and destroyed, and destroyed by repair." This time, the general army led 10,000 Guanning iron cavalry to defend the town, which was to guard the horseshoe of Jiannu's westward advance. ”

"Vice General Zu is right, I also asked the general soldier before, how many Jiannu cavalry can be held by 10,000 Guanning iron cavalry against Linghe City. Now, Ancestor, you can sue me. ”

Zu Dashou said: "The Jiannu cavalry is good at guerrilla warfare, but the siege is a shortcoming, if my Guanning iron cavalry is stationed in Linghe City, at least it will not be a problem to face more than 30,000 Jiannu." ”

Yang Fan drew a circle with his hand and said: "The range of Daming's artillery is only 100 meters, if Huang Taiji besieges the city and sends reinforcements, Linghe City will be trapped to the point that it is impassable, and when the food in the city is exhausted, what should it do?" ”

"Siege for reinforcements?" Zu Dacheng leaned over and pointed to the small Linghe City with his finger, "In the past two times, Jiannu attacked the city, and each had losses, if it was really according to what you said." Jinzhou and Ningyuan will send troops to support, and it should not be a problem. ”

"It's still that question, I asked General Zu, if the combat strength of the Guanning army is against the Mongolian rangers and the children of the Eight Banners, and General Zu said that it can be compared, then, dare to ask the commander, the Guangning Tunwei has been the other armies of the Ming Dynasty, and when they meet this Huang Taiji's team, how much room can they have to compete?"

The generals gasped, they really hadn't thought about it. In the past, it relied on the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and after these battles, each had its own victory or defeat, if the Guanning Iron Cavalry was really besieged......

"And what I want to say is not here, the army assembled by Huang Taiji this time is a full 50,000! 50,000 elite soldiers! I would like to ask all of you here, what to defend and what to help? Yang Fan's every word landed soundly.

"Fifty thousand?" Zu Dashou muttered to himself. He always thought that Yang Fan was talking and playing, but hearing the number 50,000 from his mouth again still shocked him.

There was only a teapot on the side of the tent, which made a fluttering sound. It seemed to be a little hot, He Kegang unbuckled his collar and said, "How do you know that Huang Taiji will lead 50,000 elite soldiers westward, and how do you know that he will besiege the city and send reinforcements?" ”

"The master of the family divination operator, although he has learned a little bit of skin, but he can more or less get a glimpse of a glimmer of genius. Believe it or not. "Yang Fan can't say that he is a person hundreds of years later, and then he is forced to say the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty more than ten years later, it is fun, it is estimated that eighty percent of the people here are going to take refuge in Huang Taiji.

"Fortune operator?" Zu Dacheng looked at his eldest brother with an inquiring meaning.

"Yangzi, what do you say. It's all your own here, so you don't have to hide it. If we can listen, we will naturally do it, and we will not rely on the old to sell the old. "Zu Dashou is a smart person, knowing that Yang Fan said this, he must be very sure.

Yang Fan was silent for a moment and said, "The best way, I say it, you and I may die." ”

"Say!" Guanning Iron Cavalry is the brainchild of the ancestor, if it is really like Yang Fan said, it is besieged by 50,000 troops to help, then the end can only be surrender, or die in battle.

"Collect the troops and retreat to the Guanning defense line. I'll wait until I've developed a new musket, and then I'll make a plan. Yang Fan squinted, his fingers melted from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, this is the most stable line of defense of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to keep the fire of the Ming Dynasty, you can only do this.

The boy from the ancestral family exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Retreat to the Guanning defense line, are you talking nonsense, you don't even want Jinzhou? ”

Yang Fan nodded, there is no way, if Linghe City is not built, this Jinzhou will also be difficult to defend. It's a big deal that Emperor Taiji doesn't encircle Linghe City, but Jinzhou City. The only way is to retreat to the Ningyuan defense line, and still be able to stalemate with the 50,000 army. After all, the worst thing a ranger is at besieging a city. Therefore, when he rushed thousands of miles to Shuntian Mansion, Huang Taiji saw that he could not attack it for a long time, so he withdrew his troops directly.

"Do you know how many soldiers' lives our Ming paid to recover Jinzhou? Sun Laoshuai regained Liaodi, just to want to encroach like this step by step, slowly Tuzhi, now you sue me, give up Linghe City, give up Jinzhou? How can you let me Guan Ning Tieqi be worthy of Da Ming, and how can I be worthy of the heavy responsibility of the saint? He Kegang stood up directly, pointed at Yang Fan and said angrily.
