Yan Yuefeng instructed Peng Qingshan, Liang Qiuyang to lead the elite to the north gate of Xijing City, and sent Gongsun Yang to the south gate of Xijing City to blockade Xijing City.
At night, the dust of the battlefield subsided, and Yang Yue took a few guards to return to the Ximen barracks from the east gate of Xijing City.
Riding the horse into the gate, straight into the tent.
Walking into the handsome tent, Wei Jiyan and Yan Yuefeng waited patiently for Yang Yue to come, and witnessed Yang Yue striding into the handsome tent, and the two generals bowed and saluted.
Yang Yue picked up the second general, with a strong smile on his face, and exaggerated: "Yan Yuefeng, Wei Jiyan, you performed well in this battle, but the western capital has not yet been breached, and there are still 100,000 defenders in the city.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Yan Yuefeng, Wei Jiyan happily arched his hand.
In this battle, Yang Yue did not personally lead the troops to participate in the battle, but the battle deployment was all in accordance with Yang Yue's arrangement, and he achieved a great victory, which exceeded Wei Jiyan and Yan Yuefeng's expectations.
In addition, Yang Yue personally led the troops to block the east gate of Xijing City, so that Jin Wuda, Jin Quanzhong, Lu Dasheng, and 100,000 Silla troops became frightened birds.
Yang Yue sat on the main seat, and Wei Jiyan bowed down and asked: "Lord Wang, our army has achieved an unprecedented victory today, and the last general proposed that we should go all out and lead the troops to continue to storm Xijing City at night."
"Lord Wang, the last general agrees with General Wei's proposal to seize Xijing City in one go and eradicate the Silla army in the city." Yan Yuefeng agreed.
Hearing this, Yang Yue's smile gradually dissipated, but he was a little melancholy, and asked: "General Wei, General Yan, today, we are fighting, how many casualties?"
"Lord Wang, more than 5,000 war horses were damaged, and the total number of soldiers killed and wounded was more than 7,000." Wei Jiyan reported with a serious expression.
Today, thanks to Yang Yue's suggestion that he personally lead the troops to raid, the Silla army was not on guard, otherwise, the number of casualties would be even greater.
"War horses are expensive, soldiers are even more expensive, at present, there are 100,000 Silla troops in the west into the city, defeated by the day, and they must lead the troops to guard against it at night, and they will take the city rashly, and our army's casualties will expand, so to seize the western capital city, you only need to take it lightly and not attack it." Yang Yue reminded.
A good horse, worth 100 gold!
Although Yang Yue is located in the northeast and there are lush grasslands nearby, it is easy to get good horses, but he still lacks good horses.
Otherwise, 50,000 light horses under the spring tent will not be reduced to the lack of good horses.
The cavalry of the Dandong army is the majority, and there is no strong siege equipment in the tiger army, so the forced siege is the weakness of the Dandong army.
Fortunately, the topography of Xijing City can help him, and Yang Yue already has a good plan.
Wei Jiyan and Yan Yuefeng looked at each other, silent for a moment, and Yan Yuefeng said: "Lord Wang, if you besiege but not attack, it is indeed a good way to consume the food of the Silla army, but more than ten thousand Dandong troops are stationed outside the city, which will still consume a lot of food and increase the pressure on Dandong's money and grain."
"Lord Wang, the last general proposes that we can't help but cut off the food route of the Silla army, but also cut off the water source of the Silla army, there is no food, there is no drinking water, the momentum of the Silla army is declining, and sooner or later it will collapse from the inside." Wei Jiyan stared at Yang Yue and expressed his inner proposal.
"General Wei, the Datong River passes through Xijing City, and if you want to cut off the water source of the Silla army, you have to cut off the Datong River, and if you do this, the siege is too vast." Yan Yuefeng thought for a moment, and said with a little worry in his heart.
In the scorching summer, if the water source of the Silla army is cut off, it will inevitably force the Silla army into a desperate situation, how can the water flow of the Daedong River not be weak, and it is not easy to cut off the Daedong River.
Yang Yue got up, moved to the map, looked at it for a while, turned to stare at Wei Jiyan, Yan Yuefeng: "It's not that there is no way to cut off the flow of the Datong River, but General Wei's proposal is still too conservative, at present, this king has a clear method of the Silla army."
"What is the best plan for the prince!" Yan Yuefeng asked.
Wei Jiyan also looked at Yang Yue, if there is a way to break the city, the Dandong army will have no worries when it enters the city.
"Datong River, through the north of Xijing City, if you collect warships and go straight down the river, you will definitely enter the city!" Yang Yue said softly.
"Lord Wang, we don't have a warship!" Yan Yuefeng's expression was bitter. Wei Jiyan's face was helpless.
If there were warships, he would never recommend spending huge manpower and material resources to cut off the Datong River.
Yang Yue raised his hand, gestured slightly, and muttered softly in Yan Yuefeng's and Wei Jiyan's ears, and when he was young, Wei Jiyan stabbed in and asked, "Lord Wang, can this work?"
"Try it for yourself, and you will know if it succeeds!" Yang Yue said with confidence.
Witnessing Yang Yue's expression, Wei Jiyan, Yan Yuefeng didn't say much, Yang Yue firmly believed that the plan could be successful, and there was a chance of success.
At this time, Yan Yuefeng turned to Wei Jiyan and said: "General Wei, recently, you take care of it more and do what the prince instructs, I will cooperate with the prince to besiege the Silla army, and then we will take both sides to capture Xijing City."
"Don't worry, there are not many other things in the Northeast, and there will be no less sheepskin! It won't take long!" Wei Jiyan said with confidence.
Yan Yuefeng bowed slightly, his gaze shifted to Yang Yue, and he said with a puzzled expression: "Lord Wang, the last general remembers that there are four generals under Jin Wuda's account, but according to the information obtained so far, only Han Zhongkai, who has been captured, and Jin Quanzhong, Lu Dasheng, and Chen Youkun, who have luckily led the troops to escape, are nowhere to be found.
The last general is afraid that Jin Wuda will make other arrangements, or Chen Youkun has led him to return to Dugi Province quietly."
"General Yan, Hugh has to worry, this king has sent spies to monitor the four gates of Xijing City at night, and it is impossible for a large force to evacuate. However, if Chen Youkun leaves with a small number of guards, there is also a trace, and the Dandong army has recently pressed the border, and the number of people leaving in Xijing City is limited." Yang Yue comforted.
Recently, the caravans that have withdrawn from Xijing City have been recorded, how many people, and in what direction they are going, Yang Yue's heart is like a mirror.
In silence, Wei Jiyan suddenly raised his head and said: "The day before yesterday, a caravan went out of the north gate and headed north.
However, there is plenty of food in the Bohai region, and there is no shortage of food at all, and there will be no detailed calculations at the beginning.
"Lord Wang, in this way, didn't Chen Youkun go to Bohai or the Xi tribe, the Yuwen family and Silla are diligent in moving, and most of Chen Youkun's gang went to the Xi tribe to move the rescue troops!" Yan Yuefeng said to Yang Yue, thinking carefully and being extremely frightened, he fought again and again to ignore the existence of the Yuwen family.
Fortunately, Xijing City is far away from the Xi people, and in just a few days, Chen Youkun may have just arrived at the Xi people, and he can't move back to the rescuers.
"General Yan, General Wei, the Yuwen family is like a falcon hovering in the sky, where there is a smell of blood, they will appear there, if it is said that the Yuwen family and Silla united before, it will bring benefits to the Yuwen family.
Today, the Dandong army has defeated the Silla army, and the king of Qin has dealt a blow to Silla in the south, and a weak Silla is not enough to support the ambition of the rise of the Yuwen family, and if Chen Youkun goes to the Xi tribe, the king will conclude that the Yuwen family will not do anything unfavorable to himself." According to the current situation in the Northeast, Yang Yue expressed his inner conjecture.
