Although Yang Ye's words are very reasonable in any other battle of cities in this era, this time he has to face the "Flying Dragon Army", which is completely different from the common army of this era, and his advantage in the Han army mentioned above is basically nothing in front of the "Flying Dragon Army". Moreover, the more Han troops participated in the siege, the greater the losses it could incur.

For this reason, Yang Xin had to patiently explain to Yang Ye the difference between the "Flying Dragon Army" and other armies, and explain to him that in the face of the powerful firearms of the "Flying Dragon Army", the Han army's superiority in strength would be effectively neutralized, and it would not play any other role except for increasing the casualties of the Han army.

For Yang Xin's explanation and reminder, Yang Ye didn't really take it to heart. In his opinion, although Yang Xin's guards had defeated the raiding bandits with muskets - or flintlock pistols more accurately - in Shitai Village, it would have been effortless to destroy them in the face of such a rabble, even without muskets. When it comes to the battle of Huainan occupied by the "Shenji Army" under the Zhou Emperor Chai Rong using weapons such as black powder and artillery, although the role of firearms looks great, the premise is that in addition to the "Shenji Army", the Zhou State has more than 100,000 troops providing various assistance to the "Shenji Army", and it is by no means a "Shenji Army" with only a few thousand people fighting alone.

However, the situation of the so-called "Wyvern Army" in the Great Fortress is completely different from the previous two. On the one hand, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is by no means comparable to that of the bandits and grass bandits. On the other hand, the "Flying Dragon Army" was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and it was impossible for it to fight as calmly as the "Shenji Army" of the Zhou State -- Yang Ye had seen the firing of flintlock pistols in Shitai Village, and knew that its rate of fire was very slow. Therefore, Yang Ye felt that his righteous brother was making a big fuss and deliberately exaggerating the strength of the "Flying Dragon Army" in front of him, so as to affect the morale of the Han army, especially his own military morale, and prepare for the later battle.

It's a pity that Yang Ye's eyes were fixed on the bandits in Shitai Village and the "Divine Army" of Zhou State, and regarded his understanding of flintlock pistols as the inherent performance of firearms, but he forgot that Yang Xin had shot the bandits who intended to release cold arrows at him Yang Ye from a distance with a firearm that was much more powerful than the musket he saw.

Yang Ye's performance Yang Xin saw it all, he knew very well that Yang Ye's understanding of firearms had always been limited to the experience of Shitai Village and his understanding of the "Divine Machine Army" of the Zhou State, and the conclusions drawn on this basis were definitely wrong. At this time, Yang Xin really wanted to explain the level of firearms that the "Flying Dragon Army" now had to Yang Ye, but firstly, it was against the team's policy to do so, and secondly, even if he said it, there was no fact in front of Yang Ye, but he was afraid that the other party would not believe what he said.

Therefore, when the persuasion of many parties was ineffective, Yang Xin could only retreat and said: "Since Brother Xian doesn't believe Brother Fool's judgment on the difference in strength between the two sides, then Brother Fool won't force you to change your views on this battle immediately." After all, many things are hard to believe until you see them with your own eyes. However, no matter how you say that you are also the sworn brother of the foolish brother, you can not believe what the foolish brother said, but the foolish brother cannot ignore it knowing that your life is in danger. Brother Yu here only hopes that Brother Xian will listen to Brother Yu's words, if Brother Xian you really have to attack the big fort, then before you launch a formal attack, you must first send a small force to carry out a tentative attack. Then, depending on the final result of this small force's siege of the fort, it was decided whether or not to stay here. ”

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Yang Xin's hope is the same as Yang Ye's previous conclusion on the discussion with his subordinates. Therefore, while Yang Ye wondered about the coincidence of the Han incident in his heart, he agreed to Yang Xin's hope and said: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, even if the eldest brother doesn't come tonight, the Han army will not rashly attack the fort tomorrow, but will send the army from the bottle to carry out a tentative attack." However, no matter what, the younger brother has to thank the eldest brother for the reminder. The eldest brother can rest assured, the younger brother will take good care of himself. ”

Hearing Yang Ye say that the Han army had already set the tactics of first feint attack and then all-out attack, Yang Xin sighed that "the hero sees the same thing", while changing the topic, no longer continuing to persuade Yang Ye to withdraw his troops, but talked to the other party about some of his own experiences in the past two years, and asked Yang Ye about his life in the Han Kingdom.

As the topic changed, the two brothers chatted about their respective situations after separation, and the atmosphere in the big tent gradually changed from the blandness just now to the warmth. ,

The two brothers have been chatting for nearly an hour, seeing that the time has passed and the day is approaching the fourth watch, Yang Xin took the initiative to stop the small talk between the two and said: "Brother Xian, now that the time has passed, the foolish brother has been in your account for more than an hour, and it is time to go back." ”

Yang Ye was still unsatisfied at this time, and when he saw that Yang Xin was leaving, he persuaded: "Why is the eldest brother so anxious. Our brothers haven't seen each other for more than two years, and the younger brother still has a lot to say to the eldest brother, so it's a big deal that the two of us brothers can have an all-night talk. ”

Yang Xin shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Brother Fool's mind understands Brother Fool, in fact, Brother Fool also wants to talk with Brother Fool all night. It's just that before the foolish brother came to see the virtuous brother, he made an agreement with the brothers in the castle. This time, whether or not he can persuade the virtuous brother to withdraw from the army, he must rush back to the fort before the ugly time. ”

Yang Ye was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "How do you say this, don't those brothers in the eldest brother in the castle believe in the eldest brother?" Otherwise, the eldest brother came to convince the brother why did he have to limit the hour? ”

Yang Xin waved his hand and explained: "No, no." The reason why it is necessary to make an appointment is not because the brothers in the fort do not believe in the foolish brother, but out of the consideration of protecting the foolish brother. ”

Hearing Yang Xin say this, Yang Ye understood, and he said angrily: "The brothers in the castle of the eldest brother regard me Liu Jiye as something. You are the eldest brother of the younger brother, can the younger brother still be difficult for his own righteous brother, it is really unreasonable. ”

Seeing this, Yang Xin hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Xian doesn't have to mind, now the inside and outside of the big fort are in a state of tension after all, and it is common sense for the brothers in the fort to think more." ”

Yang Ye wanted to keep his brother for a while, but Yang Xin insisted on returning to Dabao on time. Yang Ye was helpless, so he had to nod and agree. After the two brothers cherished each other again, Yang Ye proposed to personally send Yang Xin out of the camp, saving Yang Xin from bothering to avoid the soldiers patrolling the camp.

Yang Xin did not accept Yang Ye's proposal, he said: "Brother Xian's kindness is understood by Brother Fool, but now there is still hostility inside and outside Dashu Fort after all, and it is not appropriate for Brother Xian to send Brother Yu out of the village." If he was seen by someone with a heart, and after returning to Taiyuan, he would tell the emperor of the Han Kingdom about the virtuous brother, and the virtuous brother would only be suspicious of Liu Jun. ”

Yang Ye waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Big brother is too careful. Thinking that Brother Xian is now the adopted son of Bixia, and has made so many meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty, it is when the Holy Family is in its prime, how can he be afraid of those villains going into slander. ”

Although Yang Ye has repeatedly said that he is not afraid of others gossiping, Yang Xin does not think so. He still understands the truth of "three people become tigers" and "the gold in the crowd accumulates and destroys the bones", so under his repeated requests, Yang Ye finally just sent him to the door of the big tent where he lived, and the two brothers said goodbye.

Although Yang Ye was not accompanied by him, it was not difficult for Yang Xin to leave the Han army camp - otherwise he would not have been able to touch Yang Ye's tent without anyone knowing.

After sending Yang Xin away, Yang Ye sat there and went over the content of the conversation with Yang Xin in his mind, and after confirming that he had not omitted the true meaning of every word Yang Xin said when the two brothers were chatting, he went back to bed, waiting to witness the tentative attack on Dabaoshu the next day.

Just when Yang Ye carefully pondered every word Yang Xin said just now, Yang Xin had successfully escaped from the Han army camp with the help of his superb martial arts and modern night vision devices, and came to the outside of Dabao within the specified time. After being carried up to the city wall by the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Army" in bamboo baskets, he didn't care that it was late at night, except for a few soldiers on duty, most of the other soldiers had already fallen asleep, but rode on the horses that had been prepared all the way, and came to the camp of the "Flying Dragon Army" at the fastest speed, and went directly to the Chinese army tent, met with Qian Yuanshan and others who had been waiting there, and told the brothers about his experience of going to the camp of the Northern Han Dynasty and the results of talking with Yang Ye.

The brothers in the forward command detained Yang Xin because they were afraid that Yang Ye would not miss their brotherhood, so they agreed with Yang Xin to return at a time. Out of concern for the safety of their brothers, Qian Yuanshan and the others have been waiting for news in the Chinese military tent from the time Yang Xin left Dabao until Yang Xin retreated and came to everyone unscathed. Just in case, under the command of Qian Yuanshan, the artillerymen had moved the mortars and front-loading guns to the north gate where Yang Yeshuai's banner was located, preparing to turn the Northern Han camp outside the fort into a sea of fire when the situation changed suddenly. This is also one of the agreements between Yang Xin and the brothers - if Yang Xin and Yang Ye do not speculate, and Yang Ye wants to arrest Yang Xin, the Dabaoshu side will send countless shells into the Northern Han camp, turning it into a scorched earth, a hell on earth with corpses and rivers of blood.

Fortunately, although Yang Ye was reluctant in every way, he still gave up staying with Yang Xin for a few more days under Yang Xin's persuasion, so as to make the best of his landlord's wishes, so that Yang Xin returned to Dabaoshu on time, thus avoiding a large-scale killing of the Han army by the "Flying Dragon Army".
