Chapter 71: Do you want to ask the imperial court for help?
After hearing Li Rui's question, Lu Chen didn't answer directly, he glanced at Qin Yushan in the crowd, and then said, "Commander Qin, you come." ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Yushan?
Li Rui and the others were a little curious, commander?
What is this position?
When did the palace have one more such position?
Qin Yushan walked out of the crowd at this time, came to Lu Chen's table, and first saluted and said, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
Subsequently, Qin Yushan said to everyone: "Our people have intercepted the convocation order of the barbarians on the grassland, and the barbarians are ready to gather 300,000 cavalry to go south, capture the northern county, and then establish a country in the northern county, and use Yancheng as the capital. ”
Hearing Qin Yushan's words, everyone's faces changed instantly.
The barbarians have always been the biggest threat to the North County, and the reason why the North County is so poor is because the barbarians go south to plunder from time to time.
Unexpectedly, this time the barbarians did not come to rob, and directly changed to occupy the North County, and even wanted to establish a country in the North County.
For a while, the people in the study were very panicked.
Especially Li Rui, the reason why he was able to become a county guard was because the previous county guards were killed by barbarians, otherwise it would not be his turn to be the county guard.
He originally thought that he would be able to live a stable life for a few days, but he didn't expect that it had only been more than a year, and the barbarians had gone south again.
And it's not an ordinary looting, if it's just to grab grain, Li Rui is not so worried, because the barbarians will only grab grain in a few other cities north of Yancheng, and rarely come to a more southerly city like Yancheng.
After coming back to his senses, Li Rui hurriedly asked, "That, Qin ...... Commander, is your intelligence accurate? ”
The barbarian southward movement is a major event, not to mention the 300,000 cavalry going south to attack the northern county, this matter will definitely be reported to the imperial court, and it will be reported to the imperial court immediately.
In the eyes of everyone, the 30,000 soldiers of Beijun are like mantis arms in front of the 300,000 cavalry of the barbarians, and they can only resist the barbarians with the help of the army of the imperial court.
In fact, every time Beijun resisted the barbarian invasion, it relied on the army of the imperial court, and the 30,000 soldiers of Beijun were just to deal with some small fish and shrimp.
Qin Yushan said at this time: "The information we have collected has been verified, and our people have infiltrated the barbarian royal court and personally obtained this news from the mouth of a certain barbarian king. ”
This......
Hearing Qin Yushan's words, everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.
Who is this Qin commander beside the prince?
The prince's people were actually able to blend into the royal court of the barbarians?
At this time, Li Rui suddenly came to his senses, he had always thought that Lu Chen was a lazy prince who was idle and didn't care about anything, but now he understood that all this was just made by the king of the north for others to see.
The North King has long had a force that belongs to him in private, and this power has infiltrated all parts of the North County, and even infiltrated the barbarians.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Rui's forehead broke out in cold sweat, fortunately, when the North King came to the North County, he didn't stumble on the North King or anything.
Otherwise, let alone the black yarn hat, I'm afraid he doesn't know if he's alive or not now.
At this time, Mu Changtian opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Wang, what are you going to do, do you want to ask the court for help?" ”
30,000 against 300,000, there is no chance of winning at all, and the imperial court must be asked to send a large army to come, otherwise Beijun will not be protected.
Lu Chen said: "This king plans to send someone to tell the court the news later, but it will take at least three months for the court to assemble a large army, and the barbarians will be able to complete the assembly in about two months, and Beijun still needs us to defend for a while." ”
Although Lu Chen was confident that he would let 30,000 soldiers hold Beijun and eat the 300,000 cavalry of the barbarians, this kind of thing must be notified to the imperial court, and Beijun is nominally the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
If a foreign enemy invades, if the imperial court is not notified, no matter whether the battle is won or lost, the imperial court will think that it has a rebellious heart, and it will not even notify the imperial court of such an important matter.
However, the army of Great Xia is not as fast as that of the barbarians, and it will take at least two or three months to mobilize the army.
There is a saying that the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the army of Great Xia is definitely not as fast as the cavalry of the barbarians.
What's more, this is in Beijun, the roads in Beijun are extremely bad, and it will take more time for Great Xia to mobilize a large army over.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Rui's face became even paler.
If the barbarians go south, I am afraid that they will be able to occupy the entire northern county in less than a month, and it will take such a long time for the Great Xia army to assemble, and when the Great Xia army comes, they are afraid that their 30,000 soldiers will have already died.
At that time, what will happen to Yancheng is unimaginable.
Lu Chen continued: "This king intends to evacuate all the people north of Yancheng to the south of Yancheng, and then concentrate all his forces to drag the 300,000 army of the barbarians in Yancheng, General Mo, you have fought with the barbarian army, I don't know what you think of this idea?" ”
Hearing Lu Chen's question, Mu Changtian was stunned for a second, and he frowned slightly.
Then he glanced at the map, and then asked: "There is no problem with the strong wall and clear the wilderness, but if all the people north of Yancheng are evacuated, the barbarian army will drive straight into Yancheng, and it will be difficult for 30,000 soldiers to defend Yancheng." ”
Mu Changtian knew very well the strength of the barbarian cavalry, most of the barbarian cavalry were elite, and it was basically impossible for 30,000 soldiers to drag down the 300,000 cavalry of others.
Lu Chen continued: "What if this king has a weapon in his hand that can instantly break the cavalry phalanx? ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Feng and the others' eyes instantly lit up.
Those of them who had followed the North King from the beginning knew very well that the North King had some mysterious weapons on his body, such as the kind of exploding stones, and the black stick that could kill the Nine Rank Martial Artists in an instant.
Now there are rumors in the army that the Northern King has been inherited by the immortals.
As for whether there is an immortal inheritance or not, it doesn't matter, as long as the Northern King has a weapon that can destroy the barbarians, or this weapon can be made on a large scale.
Mu Changtian was about to ask Lu Chen what kind of weapon he was, but Lu Chen looked at the map and continued to ask: "General Mo, this king plans to lure the barbarian cavalry to the Wanning River Valley, and then ambush them on the high ground of the river valley, I don't know if you think this plan is feasible." ”
After all, Mu Changtian had fought with the barbarians a few times, and he knew the situation of the barbarians best, so Lu Chen wanted to ask his opinion.
Professional things should be done by professional people.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian looked at the map on the table seriously, but he didn't answer immediately.
After a while, Mu Changcai spoke: "If the prince is in Yancheng, it is not difficult to lead the barbarian cavalry to the Wanning River Valley, the terrain of the Wanning River Valley is relatively flat, which is more convenient for the barbarian cavalry to go south and go straight to Yancheng. ”
"It's just that, Lord Wang...... If an ambush is set up in the Wanning River Valley, there will be 30,000 people, and I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the charge of the barbarian iron cavalry at all. ”
There are high ground on both sides of the Wanning River Valley, and there is a flat river in front, even if the barbarian iron cavalry is ambushed in the Wanning River Valley, others can quickly pass through the Wanning River Valley as long as they speed up.
The Wanning River Valley is not very long, and if you want to resist the charge of the barbarian iron cavalry in front, there are no 100,000 people, so I am afraid it is unlikely to be able to stop it.
What's more, the 30,000 soldiers of the northern county still have to set up ambushes on the high ground on both sides, and there will not even be 30,000 soldiers facing the frontal battle at that time.
