Chapter 611: Sit back and see what happens
readx;? Xu Yang led the 170,000 imperial court soldiers on his side, five miles away from the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace, and retreated behind the imperial army such as Duocolong, resting in place, and watching how the imperial army in front of him fought against the foreign army in the palace?
Xu Yang watched Duo Colon and other generals discuss things together, and some of them also looked back at him from time to time, some shook their heads and sighed, and some gloated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"General Xu, can we just settle it like this?"
"Yes, General, now we stay in the rear and sit on the cold bench, instead watching the others attack the palace. Why don't I teach that Docolon a lesson?"
"General Xu, if you don't give that Duo Colon some color, he really can't be bullied by our army. β
The generals said everything I said, and they said it with red faces and red ears.
Xu Yang looked at everyone's resentful looks, although he was unwilling, but he also knew that now was not the time to steal the limelight.
So, Xu Yang waved his hand at everyone and calmly stopped: "If the foreign army in the palace is easy to deal with, wouldn't the generals such as Duo Colon have already conquered the palace? β
Everyone saw that Xu Yang was unmoved, although they were still unwilling in their hearts, but they had to obey the order.
Xu Yang actually didn't want to argue with Duo Colon either, because Xu Yang led the army to Longjing privately. Moreover, the number of troops at this moment has been reduced from 500,000 to 170,000, and if there is another catastrophe in front of the palace, I am afraid that the final number of soldiers will be small. If the court investigates it in the future, Xu Yang will definitely not be able to escape the involvement.
And Xu Yang never thought that the combat strength of the foreign army was far stronger than that of the imperial army, so that the soldiers on his side would suffer such heavy losses.
From this, it can be imagined that the number of casualties of the imperial army garrisoned by Duocolong and other Longjing is far beyond everyone's imagination.
Duo Colon saw that Xu Yang led his army to retreat to the rear, and he no longer came to argue with him, and he was proud in his heart. As a result, he no longer paid attention to Xu Yang's side, and began to concentrate on discussing combat matters with everyone.
After all the generals made suggestions and suggestions, they debated one by one, and they did not come up with a feasible combat method. It's as if the imperial army is now exhausted.
Gradually, everyone found that their own equipment was simply terrible, and they could not fight against the well-equipped foreign army. And once the war starts, your side will lose more and win less, and it will be difficult to win this battle.
Dokolong watched the crowd from arguing endlessly, gradually evolving into shaking their heads and sighing, everyone was complaining about how poor the equipment of the army was, how well equipped the foreign army was, as if everyone had lost the mind to fight the foreign army.
"If our army is well-equipped, capable of fighting well, and capable of fighting with one enemy and ten, what else do you generals do?" said Dokron.
As soon as the generals were told by Docologne, they were immediately speechless, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed in their hearts. They all looked at Docolon and asked the other party to come to a conclusion.
At this moment, Duo Cologne also felt that he had reached the point where he was exhausted in his skills, and he had nothing to do with the foreign army in the palace, and his heart was lost. Even so, he didn't want to bow his head to everyone and admit defeat, and he wouldn't ask Xu Yang in the rear for help.
So, Duo Colon looked at the groundbreaking and asked the other party with an inquiring look, is there any good way to deal with the foreign army?
Naturally, he saw the intention of Docologne's eyes, thought for a while, and said: "The weapons of the foreign army are so sophisticated, and a strong attack will only increase the casualties of our army. For today's plan, we have to win by surprise to have a glimmer of life. β
"How can you win by surprise? The general should not sell the guanzi, and ask the general to make it clear!" asked Docologne eagerly.
He sighed heavily, looked up at the scarred majestic palace, and said earnestly: "My surprise victory is not such a clever strategy. It's nothing more than a foreign army attacking the palace at night, that's all. β
Duo Colon thought it was a clever strategy, but it was just a night attack tactic, and he couldn't help but be angry and funny. I was just about to sneer a few times, but I also realized that I was not qualified to laugh at others now.
The generals around them did not expect that the unprecedented and surprising winning strategy turned out to be just a night attack, and they were shocked. And this simple strategy, I can't think of it, and I can't help but wonder if I can win.
Seeing that everyone looked at him with suspicion, and dared not speak angrily, he sighed and said: "This is just my clumsy suggestion! If everyone has a better way, don't hide it, but it doesn't hurt." β
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, although there are better ways in their hearts, but they find that these methods of their own can't move forward in the well-equipped foreign army, they can't help but shake their heads and sigh, look at Docologne, and ask the other party to make a final decision.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, and he had no better way, he had no choice but to nod to the sky and said, "Although I don't know how effective the night attack is, I might as well give him a try." β
Seeing that Duo Cologne agreed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if the plan to attack the palace at night could be implemented smoothly, and whether the foreign army in the palace could be defeated?
Whether it is successful or not, we can only wait for the evening to test whether the method of night attack is reliable.
As a result, everyone began to discuss again, deploying troops, preparing for the battle, and how to attack the palace at night.
And at this moment, there is still half a day before it gets dark.
In order to avoid the foreign army in the palace from detecting the movements of the imperial army, everyone has been secretly carrying out the process, and they dare not speak loudly, for fear that their strategy will be known by the foreign army in advance.
Xu Yang and other soldiers and generals in the rear, seeing Duo Colon and other generals muttering something, and finally as if they had made a major decision, the generals began to leave separately and came to the army to deploy something.
Xu Yang saw that the generals had already discussed the matter of the battle, and when he was puzzled how the other party would fight against the foreign army, he suddenly saw Duo Colon glaring at him fiercely, and then disappeared in the crowd.
"I don't know how they will fight the foreign army after discussing and discussing with Duo Cologne?" Luo Cheng muttered.
Xu Yang was also confused, wondering if Duo Kelong and other generals had a way to win? We can also leave Beijing and return to Gansu Province. In case of...... β
"General Xu, what in case?" Luo Cheng hurriedly asked.
Xu Yang looked up at the scarred walls of the imperial palace and said earnestly: "If this battle cannot be won, then the imperial army will be greatly damaged, and from now on, it will never have any chance of winningγγγγγγ β
The surrounding generals were shocked when they heard Xu Yang's worrying words, knowing that whether it was themselves or the other party, since they were fighting against the foreign army, they had been losing again and again, and if they couldn't win, it would cause great trauma to morale, and there would be no way to turn things around.
Although Xu Yang and his party really wanted to see the jokes of the Duo Colon and other armies, after all, they were comrades-in-arms with the other party, how could they be able to fall into the ground.
Duo Colong sat worriedly on the Taishi's chair, watching the sun gradually set in the west, and wondered if this battle could be won?
And just as Dokolong was thinking nonsense, a general came in the distance, and he wanted to speak but stopped, as if he had something on his mind to tell Dokolon.
"General Wang, what is there to talk about, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" asked Doklon, unhappily.
When the general saw Docologne asking about himself, he hurriedly stepped forward, waved his hand, dismissed all the guards around him, and whispered: "General, I have something to say in my heart, and I hope the general will forgive his sins!"
"It's really mother-in-law, this is not like your previous neat and neat style. You are not guilty. If you have something to say, hurry up. Docolon sneered.
General Wang cleared his throat and whispered: "General, in my humble opinion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve victory in the night attack on the foreigner army. Moreover, our army will also be severely damaged by this, and its morale will be weakenedγγγγγγ β
"Enough! stop your nonsense. Docolon stood up and snapped.
General Wang saw that the other party interrupted his words, and saw the other party's annoyed and angry appearance, thought about it, and continued: "General, no matter whether this battle can be won or not, we should also prepare early!"
Duo Colon heard that the other party still had something to say, and after stabilizing his emotions, he said: "Don't swallow, you go on!"
"That's right. The strength of the foreign army is obvious to all, whether it is a hard fight or a night attack, I am afraid that the effect is not satisfactory. What I want to say is that you might as well reconcile with foreigners. First, it can allow the foreign army to retreat as soon as possible, second, it can allow the queen mother and the emperor to return to the palace, and third, it can reduce unnecessary casualties of our armyγγγγγγ General Wang said.
The more he listened, the more angry he became, he gritted his teeth in anger, lowered his voice and said: "General Wang, you dare to speak out about surrender when the war is coming, it is a capital crime that clearly shakes the hearts of the army! Could it be that you are really impatient?"
When General Wang saw that the other party was angry, he fell to his knees in fright, and said tremblingly: "General, I am also thinking about the overall situation!
