Chapter 565 Northern Xinjiang (3)
Wu Tong also knew that Yan Xuelan was iron-hearted, and her will would not be shaken by her own persuasion.
Moreover, Yan Xuelan also told Wu Tong that from now on, the soldiers under her command will also join the construction and battle, and the soldiers under her command will also obey his command, so he should not have too much burden in his heart.
Be the first to meet the enemy, and then think about other things.
And Yan Xuelan didn't reveal that in fact, she had already passed on the news to the other two people, one of whom was the commander of the Zhenbei Army, but she used a personal contact method, and Yan Xuelan couldn't do such a report on the surface.
The Zhenbei Army is the entire country of Beiyan, not Yan Xuelan's personal, she bypassed the general of the Zhenbei Army and directly talked to their commander, which is not in line with common sense and is easy to criticize, so Yan Xuelanfei is very concerned about this issue.
Wu Tong did not have much emotional fluctuations, His Royal Highness should contribute to the country, and there was nothing to say that he was not moved.
It's not a bloody romance plot either.
When there is a threat to the existence of the country, the royal family does not go up first, and it is not for ordinary people to go up
For the people, it doesn't matter who sits in that position, as long as he can let the people live and work in peace and contentment, the change of dynasty will not fluctuate much for them.
And for the powerful, every change of dynasty is a reshuffle of power for them, and the outcome of these people is nothing more than two things, change the court, and die and the clan will be wiped out.
So His Highness's behavior is completely understandable.
Wu Tong arranged for people to send Yan Xuelan and the others back to rest, and at the same time asked the commanders of Yan Xuelan's troops to come over to discuss the military situation later.
After a few people left, Wu Tong immediately reported the situation to the camp in the north of the town and asked for support.
In the face of 150,000 people in the grassland, the pressure of the 40,000 defenders of Daxingguan is not small, although there are many slaves, but they are not wooden stakes, and there is no reaction after being beaten, let you kill and kill.
It is 150,000 pigs, and it will take a while for the defenders of Daxingguan to kill them, not to mention that these people will resist and fight back.
As for the combat effectiveness of the 30,000 people brought by Yan Xuelan, because he had not actually seen it, Wu Tong still had doubts about it, and his conservative estimate was that these 30,000 people could exert the equivalent combat effectiveness of 15,000 people.
However, the current Wu Tong did not imagine what kind of combat effectiveness these people would burst out after the real battle broke out, and whether it was Luan Fengwei, Fengchun Battalion, or the Prosecutor's Division, they all had very bright performances.
It will take about a week for the support of the large battalion to come as soon as possible, and the nearby passes do not dare to send troops to support, since the steppe people dare to divide their troops to attack Daxing Pass, and the rest of the nearby passes are not without the danger of being attacked, so it is naturally impossible for them to easily send troops to support.
We can only wait for the big camp to decide.
After reporting the relevant information back, Wu Tong also reported Yan Xuelan's situation to the big camp, as for how to deal with it, to be honest, he didn't have the corresponding experience, so he had to ask the big camp to reply to him, and he would deal with it as the big camp asked.
At that time, he will carry out orders instead of making his own decisions, mainly because Wu Tong doesn't know Yan Xuelan, and he doesn't know if she is a sincere and honest person, or a hypocrite with false feelings, people always have to keep an eye on themselves.
Soon there was a reply from the camp, and the marshal already knew the news of the grassland people's division of troops and Yan Xuelan.
The order is for Wu Tong to lead the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army and the team of Her Royal Highness the Princess to close the customs, and the support team has set off, and it can be reached in a week's journey, so Wu Tong needs to hold on for a week.
Of course, the marshal also asked Wu Tong to protect Yan Xuelan's safety, and the soldiers under her command could be in the line of fire, but Yan Xuelan herself must not go to the battlefield.
If nothing can be done, supplies cannot be left to the enemy.
After reading it, Wu Tong knew in his heart that he still had this confidence in a week.
It's just that Wu Tong didn't know that this time the battle ended without a week, and when the support arrived, the battle was already over, and when the reinforcements came, they could help clean up the battlefield.
Then Wu Tong mobilized all the generals under him, and then invited Yan Xuelan and others to discuss the layout of the battle.
At the beginning, Yan Xuelan introduced the equipment of this grassland people in detail through Chen Zheng's mouth.
The five thousand horsemen do not need much introduction, they must be fully armed, leather armor, all kinds of bows and arrows, melee blades, fully equipped but of average quality, but in siege warfare, more attention should be paid to the cavalry of the steppe people.
As for the slaves, they were not unarmed.
This time, in order to be able to try to break through the Daxing Pass, the people of the two tribes were also a little generous, and issued weapons to the slaves, but most of them were wooden sticks with nails or stones tied to them, or stones or metal heads were tied to the front of the sticks to make simple spears.
There are also rusty weapons.
I don't know what age these steppe people got it from, maybe someone thought of it and turned it out and used it for these slaves.
It is estimated that these blades cannot break through the defenses of the soldiers on the Beiyan side, but the lethality of these rust-filled blades is not in the weapon itself, but in the metal rust produced by improper maintenance for a long time.
If the skin of the person is cut, it seems that there is not much wound, but all kinds of germs in the metal rust will enter the human body, and the body of the warrior is strong, but the flow of qi and blood is fast, so the germ spreads in the process of qi and blood.
It is easy to have headaches, dizziness, muscle spasms and other phenomena, which seem to be poisoned, but are actually a disease.
If it is treated in time, it will be harmless in the Yuanwu Continent, but it is a pity that there is no professional doctor to keep an eye on it during the battle.
Every distraction on the battlefield can kill you, not to mention that if you are hit, whether it is a headache, brain fever, or muscle spasms, it can become the cause of death, so soldiers also need to pay attention to this point and pay attention to protection.
