Hearing Cheng Yilong's words about using the thunderbolt canister, the room fell into silence for a while, this is the temporary command post of the Yan army, in addition to the communication soldiers who transmit military information, they are either generals or staff officers, everyone knows what this proposal of the commander of the equipment battalion means, many young staff officers looked at Xiaolong with shock in their eyes, and also had a slight admiration! And Zhang Xiu and other Chang'an battalion generals had a flash of anger in their eyes, but what followed was deep thought, could it be that the Yan army in front of him could only do this except for retreating to Hanzhong City?

The focus of Cao Jun's attack at this time was all on a few gaps in Yinxian County, and the soldiers of the Chang'an battalion were also unrelenting and did not show weakness to fight with them without giving a step, where the intensity of the fighting between the two sides and the attrition rate of the soldiers had reached the extreme, and it could be seen how firm Cao Cao's determination to take this place and force Zhang Hu to retreat from the army was! If you don't retreat, then leave the entire elite of the Chang'an battalion here, which is absolutely unacceptable to Zhang Hu, even if the price paid by Cao Jun is heavier, but retreating to Hanzhong City will mean that he has lost all the pioneers on the battlefield, and in the face of Cao Cao's insistence can only become a hard defense, which is also difficult, and it is also difficult for him, even Zhang Zicai is also extremely hesitant!

Zhang Xiu's Chang'an battalion is the first to enter the main force of the Yan army in Hanzhong, the first battle and Jia Mengguan under the strength of the Cao army general Xiahou Dun, the second battle to sit in Dazhai to meet Cao Cao's elite led by Cao Cao, these two battles undoubtedly played the Chang'an battalion of the new army of the prestige and morale, and the enemy army with great casualties, Zhang Gongxing's ability to arrange the formation has also been tested in the actual battle, it must be known that only merit in the army can convince people, and there are still many colleagues in the army who are not convinced by his appointment as the commander of the Chang'an battalion.

But his opponent is by no means mediocre, Cao's combat power is also extremely strong, and the loss of the Chang'an battalion is not small, plus the consumption of the first battle of Liumayuan and the current Yinxian guard battle, even if Zhang Hu and Zhang Xiu have made the calculation of the use of troops to the extreme, but at this time, the combat power of the Chang'an army is only six percent when it is fully manned, according to the calculation of nearly 60,000 horses in its battalion, the loss of Zhang Xiu's department in the Hanzhong battle alone is around 25,000, and for the general army, such a loss ratio is enough to make it collapse, But the Chang'an army can still maintain a strong combat power, which is the work of peacetime training!

But as far as the current situation is concerned, this place in Yinxian County has become a meat grinder, and under the fierce short-handed battles, the Yan army has nearly 1,500 casualties almost every hour, this account is very simple, 36,000 men and horses can only support twenty-four hours! Zhang Hu intended to use this place to block Cao Cao and wait for the Yan Yun army to come to help, in order to obtain greater strategic maneuver space to maintain the initiative, but Cao Mengde saw very clearly, he did not hesitate to pay a greater price to force the Chang'an army to retreat, if it can be consumed here is to get the wish, the Sizhou battalion iron cavalry is brave and good at fighting, but once it loses the cooperation of the infantry army, its power will also have great losses, in short, this battle Cao army is not afraid of consumption, but the Yan army's use of troops has reached the point of being stretched!

For example, the investment of wheelbarrows has greatly enhanced the mobility of the infantry under the rugged terrain, and the appearance of the Mexican crossbow has also enabled them to occupy a greater advantage in positional warfare. In the first battle of Anxian County, the thunderbolt jar of Li Tieniu's Suzaku Battalion made Yuan Jun suffer, and a few years later, the adhesion of the fire oil in the tank was even stronger, and once it was contaminated, it was extremely difficult to extinguish unless it was covered with sand, which can be described as an offensive and defensive weapon!

According to the current battle situation, if a few gaps were covered with thunderbolt canisters, the attack of Cao's army could be slowed down by fire, which would gain precious time for the Yan army and reduce the speed of consumption of its soldiers, which would undoubtedly be extremely advantageous to the Chang'an battalion, which was at a disadvantage. But there is also a premise for this, the thunderbolt tank is indistinguishable from the blow of the gap, the fire is ruthless and does not distinguish between the enemy and me, once it is fully exerted, the jade will be burned! The soldiers on both sides who fought bravely in these places were not spared!

The military law of the Yan army is like a mountain, and the hierarchy can be the crown of the world, but under the practice of the king of Yan, the generals of the army are extremely protective of the ordinary soldiers, although there are also words of mercy and not in charge of the soldiers, but it is also difficult to accept the tragic death of their comrades under the fire of their own side, it is not difficult to understand that the first feeling of Zhang Xiu and other generals is anger, but they have to admit that if the Yan army will stick to this place and wait for Zhang Liao's army, this law is an effective policy, and the soldiers in the battle may suffer heavy casualties. But for subsequent comrades, the lack can reduce the loss. This is another double-edged sword, watching the tragic death of a comrade will definitely affect the morale of the army, and it is difficult for Zhang Xiu and others to make a decision for a while!

For Cheng Yilong, who proposed this method, the pressure he was under was also extremely heavy, as soon as this statement came out, what kind of eyes would his comrades, Zhang Xiu and even military advisors look at him? Will they be seen as cold-blooded people who don't care about the life and death of their brothers? Will it affect your future promotion and development in the military? He is only nineteen years old in front of him, he is already the commander of the Chang'an Military Equipment Battalion, and he is the head of the whole army, even the second son Liu Xin is only the body of the military Sima at this time, and it can be said that the future is bright! But apparently Xiaolong had already put these aside when he made this suggestion, and the learning experience of the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy had already established the concept of strategic supremacy for him!

"General, my battalion is extremely skilled in training thunderbolt jars, since this matter was proposed by my subordinates, I am willing to work with my brothers to be loyal to King Yan at the gap!" Cheng Yilong's speech again was not loud, but it shook the heartstrings of everyone present, he wanted to fight in person, under the indiscriminate blow of the thunderbolt can, this move can be said to be no different from sending him to death! At this time, the slightest dissatisfaction in the hearts of those who have been transformed into admiration, and those who dare to die with anger deserve this!

Although Cheng Yilong is young, he is the first batch of students created in the Youzhou Martial Academy, this well-known Han school has been branded by Liu Yi, the king of Yan, since the day of its establishment, and this characteristic has become more and more obvious after ten years of development, especially in the martial arts academy, it is a matter of course to serve the king of Yan and be loyal! For an excellent soldier, as long as strategic interests exist, everything, including his own life, can become a bargaining chip! Cheng Yilong deeply remembered the instructor's words, the military democratic anger in the Yan army before making a strategic decision was very strong, Xiaolong was not afraid to put forward his own views, and he had sufficient psychological preparation in this regard before.

Take the lives of his comrades as bargaining chips in the battle, once this matter becomes a reality, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, Cheng Yilong will definitely be criticized by everyone in the army after the war, but if he himself is among them, who else will be like this? As long as it is beneficial to the situation of the big war, Xiaolong has already bet his life as a bargaining chip, how can this brave decision be comparable to ordinary people? It can also be seen that the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy has succeeded in sending outstanding officers to the Yan Army, and only in this way can it have the name of the Iron Army!

"General, the equipment battalion is the key point of our army, and it has great power in attack and defense, and the commander of Cheng has a great impact on it as the head of a battalion, how can he be in such a dangerous place, the last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead his corporal to take on this role, the general does not need to hesitate, although the order is!" There is never a shortage of men's blood in the army, even if it is a certain death situation, they can't make them retreat, Xiaolong's proposal at the expense of life and death made the generals present feel very deeply, and someone immediately spoke out angrily and asked for his life!

Everyone was anxious when they heard this, but they saw that this person was forty years old, his face was like the bottom of a pot, and his appearance was quite vicious, but he was Zhang Ping, the captain of the Geng battalion in the army, and this person was the oldest among the twelve captains of the Chang'an battalion. But the battle of the Yang line, more than 10,000 elites of the king of Yan were besieged by ten times the enemy, but they still killed them and abandoned their armor, and finally the five were captured by Liu Yi, the king of Yan not only did not punish them but gave them money and food to let them go back to Mount Tai, and then they voted heartily!

The Yellow Shirt Army is not a feather among the eight main forces of the Yan Army, and it is far from the two armies of Longxiang and Huwei, but as the main force of the Yan Army, its combat power should not be underestimated. And all the soldiers in the army have the greatest pride, they are trained by King Yan himself, it is the three months of refining soldiers that let Zhang Yan and Zhang Ping know why their 100,000 army is useless to take Liu Yi's more than 10,000 elites, "If the soldiers are not trained, they will be one in a hundred difficulties, and they will be one when they practice, and one will be a hundred." This saying is in line with the truth and even the famous saying among the soldiers, and the previous Yellow Turban soldiers were a real rabble.

Chang'anjun as a new army, when it was established, it was strongly supported by the Yanyun Yellow Shirt Second Army, there were many elite soldiers and fierce generals to come to the camp, this Zhang Ping is one of them, in the Yan army for nearly ten years, his bandit spirit has long ceased to exist, the commander's words and deeds and the training of the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy have made him a very qualified general! However, at the critical moment, the fierce nature was still revealed, and the young man was still not afraid of death, how could he be left behind as a veteran.

The thief in the eyes of everyone back then is now a dignified and upright Han general, his wife and son are filial, not long ago the youngest son fell to the ground, and his companions Sun Guan, Yin Li, etc. are also as good as that, this is something they never thought of when they fell into the grass for the coward, if it is not forced by livelihood, who wants to gather in the mountains and forests? Today's status is so-called to comfort the spirit of the ancestors, and the root cause is given by the King of Yan, there will be no less bloody men in the recklessness, there is Guan Haiken to protect the King of Yan, and now there is Zhang Ping who sacrificed his life and forgot to die for the power of the war!

Cheng Yilong and Zhang Ping fought one after another, and the rest of the generals in the room also spoke out, and the environment that was still quiet became lively again for a while, and the topic of their argument was who was going to die, which made the rest of the audience moved!
