——— Longteng North Yaozhou, Longwei Pass

Time passed slowly, and the situation on the border of Beiyao underwent some changes unconsciously.

With the Longteng reinforcements stationed in Beiyaozhou, the advantage of the beast yang army in terms of strength was gone, and the lion head Shilang was worried that he would be attacked from inside and outside, so he withdrew the siege of Longwei Pass, and the army retreated twenty miles back and camped.

The two sides suddenly changed from offensive and defensive to confrontational.

The people who went to the king's tent were slow to ask for reinforcements, but they only asked for some siege equipment, so they had to send a message to the lion head Juro and hold the troops for the time being.

In order to cope with this situation, Bao Yunfei personally went to Beiyao counties to recruit veterans, and when he left, he handed over the military power of Longwei Pass to Chen Yuanjun and granted him the right to act cheaply.

The armies on both sides were so deadlocked, without a trace of movement, and the smoke of war seemed to be slowly dissipating, in fact, the high-level of both sides knew that it was just brewing a bigger storm.

Gradually, spring came to an end, and the light blue sky, like a curtain with gold trim, became more and more hot, as if to set everything on fire.

The temperature in Beiyao Border Pass also gradually increased, and the soldiers in the Beastyang Camp also began to get tired, no longer going out of the camp on time to patrol as in the past, and going to show off their might under Longwei Pass, but spent more time in the camp tent

Chen Yuanjun was dressed in black armor and did not wear a helmet on his head, standing at the head of the city and looking at the beast yang camp from afar, wiping the sweat from his forehead from time to time.

Looking at the Beast Yang army coming in and out like ants in the distance, Chen Yuanjun had a headache, how could he let this group of barbarians retreat?

Back in the council room, the council hall has become Chen Yuanjun's home these days, staying here all day, he has set up a bed in the side room next to the council hall.

Chen Yuanjun poured himself a glass of water and drank it in a big gulp, the cool spring water gushing from his throat, and he was extremely happy.

As he drank, he pondered in his heart, now that the city was like a furnace, it seemed that he needed to give more water bladders to the soldiers defending the city.

Nangong Xingyu also walked in and muttered: "This ghost weather is getting hotter and hotter, why don't these beast Yang barbarians retreat and kill them!" ”

Chen Yuanjun stared at the map on the wall, kept thinking, and said without looking back: "Have you seen that although they have not received reinforcements, some bow towers have been sent over one after another, and it seems that they still have no intention of giving up the siege." ”

"See, I've been following it for days." Nangong Xingyu straightened his white robe and said.

"How is the run-in of the recruits, you are staring at the training these days, is it a little effective?" Chen Yuanjun said again.

Nangong Xingyu said proudly: "Don't worry! These recruits are all Beiyao Orion, they are all familiar with the bow and arrows, and it is easy to run in, and now they have combat effectiveness and can fight at any time. ”

Hearing that it had already worked, Chen Yuanjun nodded with satisfaction, and then shifted his gaze from the map on the wall to the sand table in the hall, looking back and forth.

Nangong Xingyu also seemed to notice that Chen Yuanjun was a little strange, as if he was thinking about something, so he stood next to him and didn't squeak.

After a while, Chen Yuanjun raised his head, looked directly at Nangong Xingyu and said, "Beast Yang doesn't retreat, can't we just beat them back?" ”

Nangong Xingyu froze, for the first time, he didn't understand what Chen Yuanjun meant, and his expression was full of doubt.

Chen Yuanjun pointed to the location of the Beast Yang camp on the sand table and said: "Our cavalry battalion now has 10,000 people, and most of them can be used as field cavalry, why can we only retreat into the city?" ”

Nangong Xingyu suddenly realized, but all the preparations in Longwei Pass so far were preparations for the defense of the city, and no general had considered the possibility of going out of the city to fight.

Nangong Xingyu said: "The main force in the city is the Beiyao Wolf Slayer Army, but they haven't fought for many years, so let's just pull them out to fight in the field, it's too dangerous, right?" I was thinking that in the offensive and defensive battles, they would slowly regain the feeling of war. There are also 2,000 infantry given by General Bao who are useless, and can only stand on the head of the city, and the remaining 8,000 soldiers of the first battalion of cavalry, and many wounded soldiers have not recovered, so calculated, the field soldiers we can get our hands on are the cavalry battalion and some of the wolf-killing cavalry allocated by General Bao, which is worth 20,000. ”

Chen Yuanjun shook his head and disagreed with Nangong Xingyu's statement: "You can see the murderous aura of those wolf killers, they never need to get their senses back from the battlefield, a war drum is enough to ignite their innate blood, Beiyao Nan'er was born for bloody battles." ”

"But what about your strategic goal, you don't want to rely on these 20,000 cavalry to eat the tens of thousands of troops of Beast Yang, right? They are not muddy, they are also elite soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead, you don't want to transfer half of the other sergeants in Longwei Pass, after all, you are only a captain, although you are temporarily acting as a Xuanfu envoy, you can't mobilize the main army out of the pass! Besides, General Bao won't let you take such a risk. Nangong Xingyu raised his own questions, but he still felt unreliable.

Chen Yuanjun stared at the sand table and didn't speak, and suddenly had an idea: "Hey, we can burn their bow tower, I think this is far more practical than eating the entire Beast Yang army." At least it can reduce the pressure of defending the city in the future. ”

Chen Yuanjun was quite complacent, and felt that his method was good, and if he burned the siege bow tower car, he could avoid a big battle, and if it was arranged well, it could minimize casualties.

"If you want to do it, do it bigger! Or we're going to slaughter the lion's head Juro! As soon as Nangong Xingyu's words came out, the waves were stormy!

Rao is bold Chen Yuanjun was suppressed, his mouth opened wide, and he was speechless for a long time.

Nangong Xingyu continued: "You listen to my analysis and analysis, my army has been facing each other for a long time, and the combat strength of the border army is by no means recoverable in a month or two, and the people from Central Continent may not really be able to play a role, so we have to end the war as soon as possible, otherwise if Beast Yang really comes to reinforcements, the situation will be different." ”

"However, even if you kill the lion head Juro, will you be able to retreat from the enemy? Not necessarily, they still have lieutenants. Chen Yuanjun smashed his mouth and finally walked out of the shock.

"Once the lion head Shiro is killed, the Beast Yang army outside Longwei Pass will at least be in chaos, and there will definitely be no more siege of the city. I reckon they'll retire by then. Nangong Xingyu began to analyze various possibilities: "Once the news of the death of the Ten Princes of Beastyang comes out, Beastyang must be in turmoil, coupled with the long-term siege, I guess that there is already a backlog of dissatisfaction in the Beastyang army, and at this time, my army can attack, maybe it can really retreat from the enemy in a battle." ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, and a lion head Shilang will die, even if it has no effect on the beast yang, what should they do! At the very least, the morale of our army will rise greatly, after suffering such a big defeat a while ago, and now they have been trapped in the pass, the soldiers below must have long held their breath, and they urgently need something to motivate them. ”

After talking a lot in one breath, Nangong Xingyu was dry, and he walked aside and drank water by himself.

Chen Yuanjun pondered Nangong Xingyu's reasoning just now, and also stood aside and looked at the map.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first! Shock the enemy! Yo ho! Nangong, Nangong can't see it! Do you know a lot about psychological warfare? Admire under it! Chen Yuanjun turned around and bowed to the end.

"Don't, don't, don't, I can't afford you." Nangong Xingyu hurriedly hid to the side.
