Zhai Qiang has Li Lei by his side, but Yang Yizhong has Zhang Xian and Zong Ying by his side.

is different from Li Lei's background, which determines that Zhang Xian and Zong Ying can quickly form a docking with Liu Xing in terms of thinking.

When Zhai Qiang took his 10,000 soldiers and horses and began to attack the west of Yanjing, to uproot the docks that had been operated by local Haoqiang for several generations, and then take out the Haoqiang there and cut off their heads in public, the army led by Yang Yizhong did not hesitate to launch a fierce attack on the east entrance of the Great Wall and Yuguan after receiving Liu Xing's order.

Yuguan, in Liu Xing's memory, was called Shanhaiguan in later generations.

That ancient pass, since King Yingzheng of Qin mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to build the Great Wall to defend against the Hu people in the north and run through thousands of miles, has always been a critical place.

After taking Yuguan, you can point directly to the central axis of the Jin Kingdom when attacking. As long as the battle goes well, you can cut Jin Guo into two pieces when you go straight to Huanglong in the future, and then divide and eat them like eating cakes.

Capture the Chongqing Pass and retreat to the dead base. As long as Yuguan is not breached again, then if Jingou wants to re-enter the Central Plains, it will inevitably pay several times, more than ten times or even dozens of times of sacrifice.

It can be said that Yuguan is a lock at the east gate of the Great Wall, and whoever seizes Yuguan has the initiative to advance and retreat freely, attack and defend freely.

Therefore, the order given by Liu Xing to Yang Yizhong made Yang Yizhong a little embarrassed: try to save the city wall, and kill the enemy and not tear down the city wall of Yuguan. After the capture, at least 20,000 people were immediately left to guard the town to prevent the golden dog from counterattacking.

Leaving 20,000 people, Yang Yizhong only had 60,000 horses under his command. Let him leave 20,000 people, wouldn't it make him, the commander, not have more military power than Xu Heng, the acting chief military officer?

However, after receiving this order. Yang Yizhong's distress was not how many soldiers and horses Liu Xing asked him to leave behind to guard Yuguan in the future. Instead, he once again admired Liu Xing's ability to know. Because at this time he is under his hands. All the way from Henan to Hebei to fight, nominally 60,000 horses, in fact, all the way to the collection of available troops has grown to a full 200,000 people.

So what bothered Yang Yizhong? Or keep the city walls.

For Yang Yizhong, there are so many Shenwu cannons under his command, and if he wants to capture any city, he only needs to give an order, let the cannons be aimed at the city wall, and the city gate can easily take the city with a random bombardment.

Along the way, the main reason why he can be invincible is that he uses the Shenwu cannon as the main weapon for siege, and he gives full play to the artillery siege method.

A general who is good at using artillery to fight siege warfare, but now he is ordered to preserve the city wall as much as possible, which is the real reason for Yang Yizhong's distress.

Seeing Yang Yizhong's depressed face. Zhang Xian and Zong Ying glanced at each other.

Zong Ying took a step forward first, stood in front of Yang Yizhong and bowed slightly: "Dare to ask the general, why are you so depressed?" ”

When Yang Yizhong heard this, he handed him the flying pigeon hand, shook his head and said, "Taifu, this is a problem for me!" I'm good at bombing the city, killing the enemy while keeping the city wall, this still tells me how to fight! ”

Zhang Xian, who was standing on the side, heard this, and first looked sideways at the banner and the 120,000 golden soldiers stationed in Yuguan, and thought for a moment.

Without waiting for Zong Ying to speak, Zhang Xian also bowed slightly to Yang Yizhong and said, "The general doesn't have to worry, the general has a plan." It may be possible to keep the walls of Yuguan and drive all the golden dogs out of the Great Wall. ”

"What are your plans? Say it quickly, say it quickly. As soon as he heard Zhang Xian say that he had a plan, Yang Yizhong immediately couldn't wait to ask.

Zhang Xian was not ambiguous, straightened up and pointed in the direction of the Great Wall, and said to Yang Yizhong: "General, please see, east of Yuguan is the sea, and there is no golden soldier to defend the sea. If General Zong and I each lead a crack troop, take a small raft to the sea at night, and smuggle to the rear of Yuguan. In this way, the general is in front and the two of us are behind, and the enemy in Yuguan is made dumplings by the three of us. ”

The words paused slightly, and a piece of brown paper escaped from his arms. After opening it, Zhang Xian pointed at the map on the brown paper and continued: "General, please look, you only need to seize here and here, as long as these two places are controlled by me and General Zong. Then the golden dog food and grass will be useless, and the army will inevitably be in turmoil. At that time, the general will punish those returning soldiers to forcibly attack the city, and he will definitely be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop. ”

Listening to this strategy and reading Zhang Xian's two key points, Yang Yizhong looked up at Zhang Xian.

With a look of surprise on his face, Yang Yizhong asked, "How many men and horses are you going to bring with General Zong?" ”

"It is advisable to bring 10,000 elites each." Zhang Xian replied calmly, with a face full of perseverance.

After listening to his words, Yang Yizhong suddenly shook his head and said, "No, no, this plan doesn't work." ”

"I think this strategy is feasible, why does General Yang think it can't work?" Zong Ying also felt very good after hearing Zhang Xian's strategy, so when she heard Yang Yizhong say "no", she asked Yang Yizhong.

With his head shaking like a rattle, Yang Yizhong took the map from Zhang Xian's hand, pointed and said: If you follow your strategy, it is equivalent to letting the two major generals risk themselves and lead their troops to infiltrate the enemy's encirclement! Wu Qimai still has more than 200,000 troops stationed in several prefectures and counties north of Yuguan. ”

Speaking of which, pause slightly.

When Yang Yizhong looked up at the two of them again, a look of distress and helplessness appeared on his face again: "If he discovers the strategic intentions of our army and transfers those soldiers and horses at any time, won't the two young generals have gone and never returned." This can't work, I don't want to see Zong Shuai and Zhang Shuai in the future, crying, shouting, and scolding by two old people who came to me to ask for a son. ”

After listening to Yang Yizhong's words, Zong Ying and Zhang Xian looked at each other and looked at each other again. As they looked at each other, they both had playful smiles on their faces.

After looking at each other, Zong Ying hugged his fists at Yang Yizhong Zhengse and said: "General, dare to ask me and Zhang Xian's little brother to lead troops to fight with you, have there been any mistakes along the way?" ”

Shaking his head again, Yang Yizhong seemed to have turned into a lion shaking his head and replied: "Of course not, the two little brothers have never made any mistakes in helping me attack the city all the way." Getting the help of the two is really a blessing for me Yang Yizhong in this life. ”

"Then dare to ask General Yang, what about the two of us being the lustful Yanei of the Gao Yu family? Or is it the Cai Jing family's weak but power-seeking Yanei? When Zhang Xian spoke, he didn't look angry, but smiled sarcastically.

"Of course not!" As soon as he heard this, he didn't look at Zhang Xian and Yang Yizhong and thought he was angry.

When he turned his head and saw Zhang Xian's sneering smile, Yang Yizhong suddenly woke up: That's right! These two boys have the style of a father, and they are no worse than their grandfathers in fighting. Why have I come and how many times I have been worried! (To be continued......)
