This word sounds familiar, and it seems to have been seen often in anti-Japanese dramas.

If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost; If you lose land, you will gain both land and people, I am afraid that anyone who has watched the defense of Yan'an will know this sentence.

Although Shaoguan is the gateway to Guangdong, it is also the only way for Zhang Xianzhong to go south, and if he holds here, the passage into Guangdong will be cut off, and Zhang Xianzhong must give up the idea of going south if he wants to go south.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Shen Youlong will deploy here and strengthen the ability to defend, because of Shen Youlong's relationship, the third company will come here to defend.

Both sides took a fancy to the importance of Shaoguan, so they came here to carry out defense.

But there is a problem that Shen Youlong has not thought about from the very beginning, his idea is defense, and he has never thought of facing the enemy head-on, or annihilating Zhang Xianzhong's troops, to say that the combined strength of the two Guang is not inferior to Zhang's troops, but Shen Youlong is a literati after all, and he pays attention to the defense policy.

This preconceived idea can be said to have passively influenced the 3rd Company, which was affected by this passive influence from the beginning to carry out a defensive policy, and did not think about facing the enemy head-on.

It wasn't until now that Xiao Ruike proposed the strategy of luring the enemy deeper, that everyone thought of how to solve the enemy, instead of blindly defending, defense will only deepen the fatigue, and at the same time create opportunities for the opponent to attack.

To lure the enemy deeper, it is necessary for the third company to withdraw from Shaoguan City, but the risk factor of doing so is also there, once Zhang Xianzhong is withdrawn to capture Shaoguan, it will be difficult to recapture it, according to Xiao Ruike's proposal,

The third company pretended to withdraw from Shaoguan City, and then waited for Zhang Xianzhong's headquarters to attack, and once it found that the opponent was attacking, it cooperated with the defenders in the city to attack from both sides.

However, this strategy is too risky. Once the defenders in the city could not hold it, it would mean that the 3rd Company would have a complete chance to retake Shaoguan.

Therefore, after Wei Yan proposed to lure the enemy deep into this plan to the defending generals of Shaoguan, the opponent's head shook like a rattle. A strong shake, just disagree.

This Australian is very good at fighting, but you don't have to take such a big risk, you must know that the other side has more than 100,000 people, even if you have the advantage of weapons, you may not be able to win.

Zhang Xianzhong has too many men and horses, and it is not at all possible to lure the enemy into the depths, and several generals in Shaoguan City unanimously persuaded or took defense as a countermeasure, as long as the enemy ran out of food and grass for a few months, it was a victory.

Hold on until the other party has no food and grass. This kind of beautiful imagination is also thanks to these people who can think of it, Zhang Xianzhong is not a good stubble, he will go to the surrounding area to loot without food.

If such a confrontation continues, not to mention that the third company will be tired if it can't stand it, I'm afraid these defenders will too.

If you don't attack, you won't have a sense of crisis, and a long-term confrontation will comfort yourself in your heart, and once this comfort is formed, you will relax your vigilance.

Although this kind of psychological factor will arise on both sides in the course of the confrontation, the side with a large number of people will definitely have an absolute advantage.

Under such a premise, the first company has no chance of winning. Moreover, defending here for a long time will put Hong Kong in a state of emptiness, although no one dares to attack Hong Kong, but the presence of Hong Kong's garrison is a deterrent to several forces.

So no matter what, lure the enemy deeper. In any case, Zhang Xianzhong's trouble must be solved as soon as possible, and the other party must be allowed to leave Shaoguan and go to other places.

The disagreement of the generals of the Ming army did not stop Wei Yan from their actions. They came to support Shaoguan, but they were not dispatched by Shen Youlong, and now that Shaoguan City has protected them, they should go back. So Wei Yan proposed to leave Shaoguan.

The defenders of Shaoguan were immediately dumbfounded, this is leaving, Zhang Xianzhong has not left yet, but the Australians can't be allowed to go, once the Australians are gone, Zhang Xianzhong will immediately attack, don't say that the city can't be defended, even his life has to be lost here.

"General Wei, can you go, the current crisis in Shaoguan has not been resolved, and Zhang Xianzhong will definitely attack Shaoguan if you leave." Shaoguan City guerrilla Jiang Zhixin asked with a serious face.

As the top general of the Shaoguan Ming Army, he knows what it means for the Australians to be gone, and once they leave, they will be finished.

"Lord Jiang doesn't know, the order we received is to relieve the siege of Shaoguan, and now that the crisis is solved, we should go to Hong Kong to garrison, this is our task, so please be considerate, in my opinion, Zhang Xianzhong will not attack."

Wei Yan said easily, but how do you know the worry in Jiang Zhi's faith, if you leave, what will we do.

Seeing that the other party was desperate, Jiang Zhixin had no choice but to say that he would ask the governor to make a decision, hoping to use this method to keep the other party for a few more days.

Of course, Wei Yan also knew that the other party must want to stay with him, so he said this, and if he forced himself out of the city at this time, he would definitely tear his face, so he had to nod and agree.

After all, the city gate is guarded by the Ming army, isn't it impossible to force out of the city, but that will only bring benefits to Zhang Xianzhong, he has not yet attacked the city, and the Australians and Ming troops in the city will do it, isn't it a great benefit to him.

So in order to take care of the overall situation, Wei Yan can only do this, but it doesn't mean that he will give up luring the enemy deeper. After the other party left, he immediately sent a telegram to Guangzhou asking Zhang Tianwen to negotiate with Shen Youlong and discuss this strategy.

Being stationed in Shaoguan for a long time is actually not a good thing for Shen Youlong, and one more day of stationing means that he has to pay for one day, so fundamentally he still hopes that this war can end as soon as possible, and he can solve other problems when it ends.

If it continues like this, not only will the people of Liangguang be panicked, but even normal business operations will be affected, so Wei Yan estimates that as long as Shen Youlong is not old and confused, he should carefully consider this plan.

In the early stage, he didn't expect that it was because he was afraid that his troops would not be able to resist, or that the battle would be insufficient, but now that there are Australians to support him, the idea is different, if he can annihilate the enemy head-on, this is also a great achievement for him.

If you want to say that being an official is not a name for the people, he is old Shen, but he was born as a scholar, and he must want such a thing as being famous in history, not to mention that at the moment, this opportunity has at least a fifty percent chance of success, and he will definitely consider it carefully.

After sending the telegram, Xiao Ruike looked at Wei Yan and asked, "Old Wei, if Shen Youlong doesn't agree, are you going to force yourself out of the city?" ”

"Forced out of the city, Ruike, you think too much, am I such a reckless person! At most, it was just to let the consulate put pressure on Shen Youlong. Wei Yan smiled wickedly. (To be continued......)
