Chapter 36, really let me go?
Jinsha Valley is a dangerous terrain, surrounded by high mountains on both sides, and only a 100-meter-wide road in the middle can pass through the front and rear valley passes.
Overlooking from the sand table, the entire Jinsha Valley completely presents a long and narrow canyon landform.
This kind of terrain is very unfavorable for large army corps to fight, but more conducive to the stationing of small armies and defending the danger.
Yang Xu was a historical military lover in his previous life, and he has seen a lot of classic Chinese and foreign battle materials in the history of Blue Star.
He felt that with the terrain of Jinsha Valley, as long as the troops were properly arranged, and with the blessing of traps and firearms, it would not be difficult to defend this canyon.
After all, the terrain enemy can't use it at all, even if they have thousands of troops, but the number of people who can really rush to the frontal battle is probably only a few hundred.
This is just like the Battle of Hot Springs Pass in the Greco-Persian War in the history of Blue Star, the same similar terrain, why can't you resist more with less?
Moreover, Jinsha Valley has an extremely important strategic position, and it is the throat road connecting the Central Plains and the three northern states!
Now, if you want to wait for the imperial court reinforcements to solve Yanzhou's predicament, then you must not lose here!
Thinking of this,
Yang Xu immediately said: "The Turks are menacing this time, and the soldiers are pointing directly at my Yanzhou!"
This time, if we abandon Jinsha Valley and gather all our forces to defend the city, then it will definitely be taken advantage of by the Turks!
Think about it, if the Turks are allowed to occupy the Jinsha Valley, will the imperial court reinforcements still be able to enter?
In addition, although the city of Yanzhou is high and deep, it is not easy to storm the city, but if the Turks concentrate their forces to besiege and not attack, what should we do? ”
Yang Xu looked around at the generals in the hall, and said the answer that everyone already knew in their hearts:
"I'm afraid I'll run out of food in less than two months, right?
And the grain and grass of the 100,000 army outside the gate will also be trapped because of our Yanzhou, so it can't be transported!
If it really comes to that time, I think that what Da Zhou will lose is not only our Yanzhou City, but the entire three northern states will fall into the hands of the Turks! ”
As soon as Yang Xu said this, everyone sighed slightly.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the grain and grass in the official warehouse in Yanzhou City have already been left with less than a month's inventory.
Moreover, the grain and grass of the border army from the Central Plains all need to be transported to Guanwai through Yanzhou.
If Yanzhou City falls into the hands of the Turks at this time, then the main force of the border army outside the pass will be in danger!
And once the main force outside the customs is lost, then the loss of the Great Zhou will be the entire three states in the north!
Not only that, if the Turks capture the three northern states, then the day when they will enter the Central Plains is just around the corner!
You must know that the three northern states are the northwest barrier of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and once it is lost, then the Great Zhou Kingdom will no longer be in danger!
At that time, the entire hinterland of the Central Plains will be exposed to the Turkic army, and even the Great Zhou may be destroyed because of this!
Everyone understood the truth that Yang Xu had just said, but the troops in Yanzhou City were really limited at the moment.
At this moment, even if some of them are willing to go out of the city to defend Jinsha Valley, how many soldiers and horses can be distributed to them in the city?
Is it a thousand, or two thousand?
If you give a little more, I'm afraid the remaining troops in the city won't be enough to defend the city, right?
You know, their opponent this time is the Turks with tens of thousands of cavalry!
The Great Zhou and the Turks have been fighting in the north for decades, but they have never had a record of winning in the field with a disadvantage in numbers!
In the eyes of everyone, taking one or two thousand people to guard Jinsha Valley at this time is completely equivalent to sending them to death!
At that time, as long as the Turks divided more than 1,000 heavy cavalry to launch a round of charge, they were afraid that the people guarding the Jinsha Valley would become the souls of the opponent's swords on the spot.
As soon as he thought of this result, all the generals around him were silent.
After all, in their eyes, going out of the city to defend Jinsha Valley now is equivalent to going to death!
Whoever agrees at such a time is jumping into the fire pit?
Therefore, none of the generals present wanted to take Yang Xu's stubble, and they were afraid that they would be sent by Su Xiu to guard Jinsha Valley on the spot if they agreed.
After listening to Yang Xu's analysis, Su Xiu immediately felt that what Yang Xu said coincided with what he thought in his heart.
Immediately, he wanted to assign generals to Jinsha Valley to defend the town.
But when he saw the silent expression on the faces of the generals, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart.
These people are so afraid of death as military generals, it is really disappointing to him!
But now that the war is imminent, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he is not good, so he reprimands the generals harshly.
In desperation, he had no choice but to look at Yang Xu and asked:
"Since Long Jiangbo said that he must divide troops to guard Jinsha Valley, is Long Jiangbo willing to personally lead the troops to deploy defenses?"
Since he was talking about the military at the moment, Su Xiu put aside his personal relationship and directly commensurate himself with his title.
But Yang Xu was stunned when he heard this, he had never fought before, although he had just analyzed the Tao, but that was just his advice to everyone.
If you really want him to personally lead the troops to the defense, it will be a little difficult for him.
After all, he had never been exposed to the Great Zhou's art of war formation, if he was really asked to command the army, he couldn't even understand the flag, how could he give orders normally?
"No, no, I haven't led any soldiers! How can this let me go? ”
Yang Xu's face was embarrassed, he didn't expect that he was just making a suggestion, and Su Xiu was going to let him go to the battlefield.
"Longjiang Bomo wants to be arrogant, you can have such an insight, if you don't let you go, who else will you let go?"
Su Xiu's face was solemn when he heard this, he was a good student, but he was too modest.
He had heard Yang Xu talk to Jin Peng, Bai Xiaobai and others about the method of military training in the salt field many times before.
For this reason, he also deliberately tested Yang Xu's views on military affairs many times.
Every time Yang Xu gave an answer, it could make him refreshed, and even enlightened!
For example, the strategic depth of the infantry formation, what cavalry flanks cut into the division of the battlefield, and the multi-arm cooperation between the cavalry archers, as well as the various forms of new thermal weapons combined with infantry formations on the battlefield......
and so on, Yang Xu gave an answer, so that Su Xiu had to sigh: This kid has a little bit of a self-taught genius in the military!
At this moment, Yang Xu said the strategic importance of Jinsha Valley again, and bluntly said that if you want to keep Yanzhou City, then Jinsha Valley cannot afford to lose!
When Su Xiu heard his words, he naturally had a preconceived idea that he already had a belly case.
Seeing that all the generals in the hall were all muddy and couldn't support the wall, how could Su Xiu dare to hand over such an important Jinsha Valley to them to guard?
Therefore, although he was reluctant to put his students in danger, he still had to decide to hand over this important task to Yang Xu.
"Really let me go?"
Yang Xu's scalp tingled for a while.
"What? Do you still want to obey the military order before the battle? ”
Su Xiu glanced at Yang Xu, and the expression on his face was already a little displeased.
"No, I really haven't brought any soldiers, then, can I not go?"
"Okay, then disobey the order before the battle and cut it!"
"Damn, that's not the same ......"
Yang Xu sighed heavily.
Nima, Su Xiu, the sixth child, is a bit of a pit apprentice this time!
