What is the combat effectiveness of these private soldiers of the family, Hou Mi still knows it in his heart, he is still clear in his heart, he is swarmed with the wind, and he is scattered in a hurry against the wind, and what is not good is a group of rabble, if he really chooses Hou Mi, Hou Mi would rather choose four hundred elites carefully trained by Li Xinchen, rather than two or three thousand such a rabble.

"Tianshui City is still their Tianshui City at least for now, and it is almost impossible for them to trek through this bitter cold weather, but it should be more than enough to defend the city." Changsun Sheng said decisively, "Now that we are short of troops, every bit of soldiers and horses must play their due role, not to mention that the reinforcements from Hanzhong should come over in a few days, so there is nothing to worry about." ”

After a pause, Changsun Sheng then said: "On the other hand, on the general's side, if Yu Yi sets the target as Anding City, then the general will inevitably face a great risk, so he can have a little more soldiers and horses on his side." What's more, the road from Tianshui to Anding is not considered to be peaceful, in case you meet Yu Yi's partial teacher, you must at least have the ability to protect yourself. ”

Hou Mi was silent for a long time, and could only bow his head slightly.

The main reason is that these soldiers and horses of the family are really not easy to use, otherwise these two thousand soldiers and horses will definitely be a great help to the stable situation. But then again, it's already very good that these local heroes can do this, and it is impossible to have too high requirements for them, and the one who can really lead the army to pacify the world must be Li Xinchen.

Thinking of this, Hou Mi felt that he was gradually able to appreciate the style and mind of the previous generation. At that time, the generals of Nanchen were determined to be the world, and the current generals of Nanchen were already thinking about how to hold the current one-third of an acre of land, so when they were fighting, they began to calculate their own back roads instead of the enemy's back roads.

The more this was the case, the more the Nan Chen army had no way to make a breakthrough, and finally it evolved into what it is today.

In the previous generation, Chen Baxian and Hou An were all like them, but this was not the case.

Whether it is Li Xinchen, Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie and others, the whole group has always thought about this world, which is very different from these local families who just want to keep their own territory, and Hou Mi also knows what kind of person he wants to become.

"Then the eldest grandson brother must take care." Secretary Hou said solemnly, "Without further ado, I will take the soldiers to rest and leave." ”

And Changsun Sheng remembered something, and said in a low voice: "By the way, if you can, lend me twenty people?" ”

"Huh?" Hou Mi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "So-and-so, let's go and pick the twenty most courageous." To deal with those rabble, it is enough for these people to protect themselves, but to do the rest, you still have to be careful, the eldest grandson brother is a smart person, presumably there is no need to say more. ”

"This is natural." Changsun Sheng said in a deep voice, "I'm tired." ”

"These guys are really a bunch of annoying wild monkeys!" Yu Xi scolded and scolded through the crowd and came to the Chinese army, "General Qiyu, the scouts who are following the enemy have been forced back. ”

"Is it just a retreat?" Yu Yi narrowed his eyes, obviously a little dissatisfied in his voice.

Yu Xi hurriedly said: "These scouts should have been specially trained, and they are extremely fast in the wilderness, and our army scouts chased them out for more than five miles, although they did not encounter the enemy's traps, but they did not capture ······."

"Five Mile Land ······" Yu Yi sighed, "It doesn't seem like they'll be back again in a while." ”

Yu Yi knew very well that five miles of land might take a long time for a large army to march, but for these scouts who had obviously received a close stare at Yu Yi, it was only a very short distance.

"I have heard for a long time that the scouts under Li Xinchen's command are quite elite, and today's battle is really so." Yu Yi said in a deep voice, "It seems that all the news of our progress this time will inevitably fall into Li Xinchen's control." ”

Yu Yi sent troops from Xiaoguan yesterday, the soldiers were divided into two roads, he himself led 3,000 soldiers to the north along the Jingshui River Valley to Anding, and the other army had 2,000 people as a partial division, out of Xiaoguan to the southwest, facing the direction of Tianshui to set up camp, trying to cut off the road between Anding and Tianshui, of course, Yu Yi did not forget to leave two thousand soldiers to guard the city, after all, he did not know that Xiao Shilian from Yangping Pass would attack the back of Xiao Pass, if there were not enough defenders, then Xiao Pass was lost, Yu Yi here is really a lone army.

To be honest, if Yu Yi was given the choice, he really didn't want to go out of the city. It was already winter, and it was freezing outside the city, and even if you walked through the river valley, it was inevitable that there would still be a biting cold wind, which was almost fatal to the loss of morale.

Throughout the ages, spring and autumn have been the main battles, and winter and summer are undoubtedly not good times to attack. The reason why the northern nomads have been able to repeatedly occupy an advantage in the southward battle is mainly because the days they go south are generally winter and summer, at this time, the southern farming peoples are either busy with the harvest or trapped in the city because of the difficult roads, so they give the northern peoples the opportunity to go back and forth, and correspondingly, if the farming people choose the time to go north, they will generally choose early spring and early autumn, after about three months of fighting, after achieving the strategic goal, they will retreat, in the grassland, Mosquitoes in summer and snowstorms in winter are deadly.

The soldiers and horses under Yu Yi are mainly the children of the Han family, and there is no way, Yu Wenxian controls the most elite cavalry in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so the few cavalry in Guanzhong have been transferred to the eastern front by Yang Jian, and what can be left for Yu Yi is a group of foot soldiers.

Entering the snowy fields in the northwest with a group of foot soldiers is undoubtedly a battle with no return, and if it fails, then these soldiers probably do not have the courage to flee back.

According to the number of scouts sent by Li Xinchen, Yu Yi believed that Li Xinchen should have a good idea of how many soldiers and horses he had here.

And how many troops his opponent has now, Yu Yi actually doesn't know anything, and even he is not sure whether Li Xinchen is in Tianshui or stable.

This is not to blame Yu Yi, in the final analysis, it is because the local family headed by the Anding Niu clan is exerting their strength, if you want to talk about who knows the most about this around, I am afraid it is these local families, so once they are launched, the scouts sent by Yu Yi will basically be silent, and in desperation, Yu Yi can only limit the scope of the scouts to the army, just hope that they can report the news of the discovery of the enemy in time, and do not expect them to be able to find out the situation of stability.

No matter what kind of enemy there will be in front of him and what kind of situation it will be, Yu Yi can only take these soldiers to trek forward with difficulty now.

For Yu Yi, this may be the most unprepared battle he has ever fought in his life, and even he can't be sure who his opponent is.
