Chapter 172: This is the goal

"Gather everyone over, I believe everyone is a little confused, why, it's already sunset, and it's still such a toss?" Xu Yanzhi was very calm, what kind of joke, even he didn't want to think about such a thing, okay?

The big battle in the afternoon was certainly nothing, and it was a skirmish at most, but no matter what, everyone did their best during the siege, okay?

In such a situation, they need to rest, which is also helpless, but Xu Yan can't rest at this moment, especially now, it is even more impossible.

The position of Yangcheng can definitely be said to be very embarrassing, now, such a big thing has happened here, I believe that Dongli City should almost know, as long as it is known, then reinforcements, this is a must, if a city can be completely indifferent, this will not really start to attack Daqin.

If he really starts to defend it, Xu Yan doesn't feel that he can't hold it, after all, his strategy and tactics can still play a big role in many cases.

Hurt but not killed, this trick is very useful, in the eyes of many people, it is an unsolvable trick, if you move here and continue to use it, it is not impossible to defend this city.

However, Xu Yan also knew very well in his heart that there was not much benefit in doing so, and for him, he even needed to pay too much price, after all, this time he was facing humans, not barbarians.

This effect is greatly reduced.

What's more, even if they hold it at this time, its significance will not be very great, at most they will be divided into forty or fifty thousand troops, and for the hundreds of thousands of troops, it does have a certain effect, but this effect is still the same.

The deployment of the opponent's troops is very exquisite, and in the eastern fence city, there are 150,000 troops garrisoned, which can be said to be impregnable.

The cities on both sides were 20,000, plus the 50,000 troops on the cliff, a total of almost 200,000 troops, which was also the limit of what they could mobilize before.

It can be said that the 300,000 army, if it is really just an ordinary city, it is not a difficult thing for them to divide their troops like this and want to gnaw it down, plus the continuous increase in troops in the back, it will not help.

The East Fence City in the middle is too strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if even if the 300,000 troops are all placed there, a mere 150,000 troops can hold on.

At that time, when they attacked the East Fence City, there were only 30,000 defenders in the East Fence City, but they used 200,000, which can be imagined, how difficult it was.

These generals are not the kind of people who have never experienced war, so after the battle, there is also a lot of confusion in their hearts.

Obviously, this city will be difficult to hold after it has been conquered, so why should this general be like this? As if he had already made all the decisions at this time.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Yan had already killed people when he came, and he didn't even leave the most basic right to speak, they probably would have started muttering in their hearts a long time ago, and it was not impossible to bomb the camp.

No one likes to die for nothing like this, even Xu Yan is the same.

But on the contrary, this Xu Yan is a very strong general, and he has already taken the lives of many people before, under such conditions, even if they are very uncomfortable in their hearts, they still dare not show it.

Just kidding, no one wants to put their life and death out of the way, unless it is those who are really stupid and loyal, not to mention, the probability of death of the general on this battlefield is still much lower, okay?

Since he is willing to toss, then let him toss, this is the only thing everyone can think about at this time.

And now, Xu Yan asked them to go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss things, which made them even more confused, it's all night, is it possible, can he still want to let go of the city that has just arrived?

If that's the case, then everyone is really starting to be a little dissatisfied, okay? Such a city, because it has been slaughtered by the army of the Great Zhou before, has gathered all the wealth.

If you give up at this time, what will happen to the wealth? You won't be able to empty all the treasures in it overnight, right? If that happens, if the army comes the next day, they won't be able to leave even if they want to.

The wealth of the entire Yangcheng has not disappeared, except for a few treasures, this is a lot of wealth, okay? Now, there is no living people in the entire Yangcheng, and such seizures are all theirs.

Under such circumstances, who really doesn't feel tempted at all when they see such a huge amount of wealth?

So now everyone does want to flash intellectually, but they also have the so-called wealth in their hearts, which is called a rather tangled.

But even so, if they can't make up their minds, they can't make up their minds, and if they really say that, in terms of obeying orders, they still have to listen to Xu Yan.

Therefore, now, many people are starting to drum a little in their hearts at this time, in the end, what will this Xu Yan do to them?

"Now that everyone is here, then I won't hide it, everyone is ready to prepare, set off in half an hour, and give up Yangcheng. Xu Yan opened the door from the beginning.

In any case, this Yangcheng must not stay now, repair, this time is almost the same, if there are other accidents, it is impossible to repair and make up for it.

Since everyone is tired enough today, they are tired, and this is a necessary thing in itself for the so-called victory and the recapture of their own land.

Xu Yan may have some so-called compassion when he gambles very evenly, but in the real world, it will never exist.

His goal can only be achieved, otherwise, no matter how big the consumption is, it will be useless.

Here in Yangcheng, within three hours, it is estimated that reinforcements will come, don't look at it at that time it was the middle of the night, it is very likely that there will be a real bloody battle, and they can't afford to delay it now.

Even if Xu Yan is very unconvinced in his heart, he also knows that this kind of unconvincing cannot be shown at this time, just kidding, a little surprised, this result is hard to imagine, okay?

"Why? This is a good city that has just been laid, could it be that it has just been given up?" Sure enough, one of the generals subconsciously asked.

Itself, in their eyes, isn't this Xu Yan fighting such a city just to attract the other party's troops to come? Now that the people haven't come, you give up, how careful is this?

So what's the point of this city? Could it be that he has other goals that he can't achieve?

To be honest, everyone's hearts really can't imagine what kind of goal it is, and Xu Yan will go to such great lengths.

As soon as I arrived at the border this afternoon, there was a big battle, although the siege was relatively smooth, but I couldn't rush in, greedy for merit, this is the biggest taboo of a general, okay?

"I never thought about setting a goal here, how can we satisfy our appetite in a mere Yangcheng? Xu Yan said he had no reason to explain.

In itself, this place is just to pass by or to release smoke bombs, and it would be strange if his real purpose was here.

A simple city, or a dilapidated city like Yangcheng, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, can it use its own 100,000 troops to fight at this time?

Even if he looks down on himself very little, he doesn't see such a thing, right?

"Just passing by?" almost all the generals looked at Xu Yan in disbelief at this time, and they never thought that this guy would be able to say this at this time.

Passing by, do you need to go to war?

"Our goal is a line of cliffs more than ten miles in the rear! Where, but a bitter battle, with 50,000 troops garrisoned, but once we can defeat it tonight, it will be equivalent to cutting off the entire rear road of the Dali army, and when the time comes, the front and rear armies will outflank them, even if the east fence city is iron, it will also be broken by us. Xu Yan finally told his plan completely.

It may be difficult to march at night, but it is the best opportunity to attack the first line of cliffs, and he doesn't want to miss it like this.

As long as you really take it by surprise and attack the first-line cliff, this war will be much easier to fight after that, and it can even be said that Dongli City will be captured.

In this case, as long as the general with a little brain, after Xu Yan said this, there is no reason to oppose it.

This is a great achievement, the coach has not fought for three days to fight the city, they only have one night, and this can form a circle.

In the end, it can be directly attacked, and the feasibility is so high that they have never imagined it before.

"Is this okay?" Many generals were really convinced of Xu Yan at this time.

This His Royal Highness King Yu is not only very strong in his own strength, but also in his scheming.

No wonder he dared to go to the front line, with such strength and scheming, if he could still defeat the battle, it would be really impossible.

With the same strength, perhaps, His Royal Highness will become a generation of famous generals, right?

It's no wonder they're like this, because they've never experienced such a battle.

It's not the same thing at all, right?

By this time, that kind of admiration had obviously occupied their chests, and if there were still people who were not convinced, it was estimated that these generals would be able to rush up and beat that person as soon as possible, it was so tough.

It is enough to show that Xu Yan's trick is still very useful.

Not only can you win the war, but you can also buy people's hearts.
