Tong Yan had already prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect that the current situation was far worse than he expected. The Wyvern State has a special unit that rides the Wyvern, while the Northern Yan Kingdom has a large, thick-skinned army of savages. But what does Zhao have in the country? In terms of national strength and population, Zhao is far inferior to the other two countries. Judging from the strength of the book, Zhao Guo will undoubtedly lose this battle.

However, there are no absolutes in everything, and if you give up like this, then there will really be no day to turn over.

Tong Yan took a deep breath, swept away the gloom in his heart, and then said, "Where are the troops of the Northern Yan Kingdom currently stationed?" How many people do we have on the border? ”

The general pointed to the northwest direction of Zhao with a wooden stick, and landed directly on the earthen bag with a small flag. "Your Highness, this is the Black Wind Mouth, and the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom is stationed here at this moment. Heifengkou is the territory of the Northern Yan Kingdom, all the way to the south, this is the Hukou Pass. Our men and horses are in the middle of this. The Northern Yan Kingdom sent a total of about 100,000 troops this time, including 5,000 savage legions. I dispatched 30,000 strong troops here at Hukou Pass, and it was very difficult to block the 100,000 troops of the Northern Yan Kingdom. However, I think that the frontier soldiers will definitely fight until the last moment, and even if they are all killed on the battlefield, they will never back down! ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan pondered for a while, and then said, "Therefore, the Northern Yan Kingdom is actually our biggest threat. So how many people do you arrange in Xisha Pass? ”

"Twenty thousand! The total number of my Zhao ** team is only more than 60,000, 30,000 sent to Hukou Pass, and 20,000 sent to Xisha Pass. The remaining more than 10,000 are stationed in the major cities on the border. If the pass is lost, they can also protect the people from retreating to safety. ”

Regarding the deployment of the general, Tong Yan praised: "There is no problem with the general's deployment, the people are the foundation of the society, and when we come, we must put the safety of the people first." You're doing a great job, but I think it should be tweaked a little bit! ”

When the general heard this, he immediately asked, "Your Highness, how to adjust?" ”

Tong Yan stared at the sand table for a long time, and then said: "With our current strength, if the soldiers are divided into two places, I am afraid that in the end, it will be difficult to take care of the end and end, and we will not be able to stop it anywhere." This is like a bucket of water, which was originally only enough to extinguish a fire, but now there are two fires, and if this bucket of water is divided into two small buckets, I am afraid that in the end, neither of the fires can be extinguished, not to mention the waste of water, the arrogance of these two fires will only become more and more vigorous. Our 50,000 soldiers and horses are equivalent to this bucket of water, and the enemy troops of the Northern Yan Kingdom and the Flying Dragon Kingdom are those two fires. Originally, 50,000 soldiers and horses were barely enough to deal with a country's foreign enemies, but now if we separate them, it will inevitably greatly weaken the real combat power of our Zhao State, and in the end, not only will these 50,000 soldiers and horses be buried, but it will also be impossible to stop the invasion of the Northern Yan Kingdom and the Flying Dragon Kingdom at all. Therefore, my idea is to transfer all the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Hukou Pass to Xisha Pass, and the troops will be united to deal with the slightly weaker Flying Dragon Country. ”

Without waiting for the general to speak, the fifth princess preemptively said: "Rui'er, it makes sense for you to say this, but in this way, isn't it equivalent to opening the door to the Northern Yan Kingdom?" They were not hindered in the slightest, and I am afraid that the president will drive straight in, and finally approach Yong'an City directly. How will we fight against it then? ”

What the fifth princess said was actually what the general and others wanted to ask.

Hearing this, Tong Yan smiled slightly and said, "I concentrate on dealing with the Flying Dragon Kingdom, which does not mean that I will let the Northern Yan Kingdom act recklessly. Now that the enemy is outnumbered, the most important thing to avoid is to face the enemy head-on. The Northern Yan Kingdom wishes that we would fight to the death with them, and then they can annihilate the army of our Zhao State in one fell swoop, and at that time, it will be difficult for the Zhao State not to die. At present, you and I have a total of 10,000 horses in our hands, and I want to use these 10,000 horses to drag down the tiger and wolf army of the Northern Yan Kingdom. If we don't want to be able to drive the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom out of the Zhao State in one fell swoop, we can at least delay their capture of Yong'an City, so as to gain the maximum time for us to deal with the enemy army of the Flying Dragon Kingdom. Wait until we successfully defeat the Wyvern Kingdom, and then turn our heads to deal with the Northern Yan Kingdom. I think that when that time comes, I will have the capital to fight with the Northern Yan Kingdom. ”

His proposal was indeed convincing, but the general still felt that something was wrong.

"Your Highness, you said that you used 10,000 soldiers and horses to drag the 100,000 male divisions of the Northern Yan Kingdom, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg? I can't help the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom, so how can I succeed with just 10,000 soldiers and horses? ”

Tong Yan saw that he was worried, and immediately explained: "Generals, please take a look. From Hukou Pass to the famous city, then to Sanshan City, until Yong'an City. This journey is not short, but it is not long. However, there are mostly mountains and rivers along the way, and if you divide 10,000 people into more than a dozen teams, lurk in the mountains and valleys along the way. From time to time, harass the army of the Northern Yan Kingdom, and then destroy the bridges along the way, even if the Northern Yan Kingdom has an army of 100,000, I am afraid that it will not be able to approach Yong'an City in a short time, right? Not only that, but the 10,000 horses I arranged can also consume the strength of the Northern Yan Army's army along the way, and when they really arrive in Yong'an City, it may also be the end of the crossbow. If we go back against them, won't the odds be greater? ”

Tong Yan's tactics against the Northern Yan Kingdom are actually what we often call guerrilla warfare. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our army used guerrilla warfare in the early stage. It was through this method that the guerrillas inflicted heavy blows on the aggressors by shooting them in the back from time to time and blowing up an arsenal from time to time. He made great contributions to the final victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The situation in which Zhao is now is actually very similar to that in the early stage of liberation. The enemy is strong and I am weak, but as long as we don't give up and don't bow our heads, victory will come eventually.

After Tong Yan's explanation, all the people in the war room were silent. After a short time, the general was the first to express his support.

"Your Highness, although the old man has never had such combat experience, I think what you said should be right. The old man was willing to lead the 10,000 soldiers and horses and drag down the 100,000 heroes of the Northern Yan Kingdom. Please also ask Your Highness to fulfill it! Speaking of this, he knelt directly on one knee with a look of anticipation.

With his statement, others also responded.

Seeing this, Tong Yan said with satisfaction: "You don't have to fight, I actually have a suitable candidate in my heart." ”

When the fifth princess heard this, she immediately asked, "Rui'er, you already have a candidate?" Who is it? Who can do this? ”

Tong Yan raised his eyes to look at Wang Hu, and said with a slight smile: "General Wang Hu, such a heavy responsibility belongs to you!" ”

As soon as Wang Hu heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Thanks to His Highness's refusal to give up, the last general will definitely live up to his mission, even if he dies, he will never live up to His Highness's expectations!" ”

Tong Yan shook his head and smiled: "Death? Why die? I want you all to live and drive all those jackals, tigers and leopards out of Zhao Kingdom! When that time comes, I will not do you any wrong! As for the others, after three days, they followed me to Xisha Pass. I want to let the Flying Dragon Kingdom know that I, Zhao Kingdom, am definitely not something they can bully if they want to. If you invade my territory, you will be punished even if you are far away! ”
