Dragon blood bodyguard of the beauty president

Chapter 3028 Strategic Adjustment
On the city wall, the soldiers and horses of the frontier army and the city defense battalion heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the Liao people retreating. Under the orders of their respective officers, they cleaned up the battlefield and rested in place.

In this battle, the soldiers of the city defense battalion lost one-third of their soldiers and horses.

Since their establishment, they have not encountered such a fierce battle.

After the baptism of war, these soldiers all had a bit more murderous spirit.

Compared with before, it also appears to be much more stable.

Hu Yanzhuo looked at the casualties counted by his subordinates, and discussed the current military situation with the generals in a turret on the city wall.

Li Cheng and Wen Da complained first, "General, according to this style of attack, if the Liaoren attack again, we will probably lose more than half of it. If this continues, the Daming Mansion will be lost!"

Wen Da said, "According to the general, is it necessary to mobilize the people and immediately expand the army?"

Hu Yanzhuo and the two said calmly, "Don't worry, our crisis will be solved when the sky is bright tomorrow."

"what?"

Both of them were taken aback, and asked curiously, "Why?"

Hu Yanzhuo said, "Duke Qi has already sent millions of troops to support us, and it is estimated that all of them will arrive at Daming Mansion tomorrow. At that time, we will encircle the Liao army with these large troops, attack from inside and outside, and maybe eat them all. "

"awesome!"

Li Cheng and Wen Da shouted excitedly. They thought they were isolated and helpless, but who knew there was such a large army coming here.

Moreover, this army was sent by the bandit army.

Excited, the two of them frowned again and said, "General, these are troops sent by Song Gongming. If the imperial court finds out, we'll have to leave without food."

Hu Yanzhuo said in a deep voice, "I don't care whether I am a soldier of the court or a thief. As long as I can protect my family and the country, then I am Hu Yanzhuo's brother and friend. If the court has any blame, I will blame Hu Yanzhuo Carrying it alone has nothing to do with you.”

With him on it, Li Cheng and Wen Da felt relieved.

They have not joined Song Gongming now, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

If the imperial court wants to reuse them, they will listen to the imperial court.

If the imperial court punished them, they would serve Song Gongming at worst.

Anyway, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will belong to Song Gongming sooner or later depending on the situation.

Some generals and Hu Yanzhuo worried, "Commander, according to Liaoren's plan, we will not give up until we take down the Daming Mansion. Is there some conspiracy behind their sudden strike?"

Someone said disdainfully, "What kind of conspiracy is there? It's because they suffered heavy casualties and couldn't hold on anymore!"

Someone said seriously, "Don't underestimate the Liao army. They actually didn't have many casualties today. The million-dollar army is only about the same casualties as them. If there is no major change, they will definitely not act like this."

Hu Yanzhuo stared at the map for a while, and also analyzed for a while, "The retreat of the Liao people is definitely not a retreat, but a retreat on their own initiative. They didn't give up attacking the Daming Mansion, they just changed their strategy. I guess they also know the reinforcements. The military situation in the south, so the strategy of quick battle and quick decision has been adjusted."

Li Chengdao, "They don't want to make a quick decision, so they have to have this capital! This time they entered the customs in a hurry, and they don't even have a supply line. How can we spend it with us?"

Wen Da said, "That's right, when the reinforcements arrive, aren't they afraid that they will be made dumplings by us?"

Hu Yanzhuo said, "So, they will find a way to solve these two things. The first thing to do is definitely to win a place as a stronghold."

All the generals looked at each other and nodded, agreeing with Hu Yanzhuo's analysis.

A general asked, "Marshal, according to your idea, where will they occupy?"

Li Chengdao, "Needless to say, it must be Yanmen Pass."

Wen Da shook his head and said, "Impossible, Yanmen Pass is just a checkpoint, not suitable for a strategic base. There are so many soldiers and horses to eat and drink. If I choose, I must give priority to a place with a water source."

Everyone looked at one place in unison.

There are not many water sources near Damen Mansion, and the most suitable one is obviously Tanzhou.

The golden whip in Hu Yanzhuo's hand was about to hit Tanzhou and said, "Yes, there is Youyun Lake in Tanzhou, which is enough to provide water for millions of troops. Moreover, Tanzhou was originally a place open to Liao people in the Song Dynasty. As an important place for trade, there are already many Liao people living in the city. If the Liao people want to choose a stronghold, Tanzhou is the most suitable place."

"That's right, it must be Tanzhou."

"Tanzhou is located between Daming Mansion and Yanmen Pass. Occupying here, you can control Yanmen Pass from the top, and threaten Daming Mansion from the bottom. It is definitely the best fortress for the Liao people to go south."

"Marshal, we must not let them succeed!"

Someone urgently reminded.

Others thought so too, but they all sighed, "We don't have cavalry, even if we know the enemy's plan now, we can't do anything about it!"

"Yes, the Liao people are powerful, and millions of soldiers are standing in front of the formation. We have more than enough energy, even if we know their plan, we can't go to support them."

"This Tanzhou must not be able to hold on."

"..."

Hu Yanzhuo interrupted everyone's train of thought and said, "The important thing right now is not the gain or loss of one or two cities, let me ask you, if you are Liaoren, what is the first thing to do after occupying the stronghold of Tanzhou? "

Everyone looked at each other and thought for a while, "It goes without saying, they must have gone south to attack our Daming Mansion!"

"No, it must be to find a way to supply supplies first."

"According to the habits of Liao people, occupying Tanzhou will definitely kill all the Song people in the city. At that time, the food and grass in the city will be enough for them to last for more than half a month. At that time, supplies will be continuously transported in from the grassland. The matter of supplies , I’m afraid I won’t be able to rank in the front.”

"Then what do you think is the most important thing for the Liaoren?"

"In my opinion, the reinforcements coming from the south must be dealt with first."

This will lead to a positive analysis.

"This should be!"

"Yes, the Liao people's cavalry has an advantage and are good at mobile combat. If they raid the reinforcement supply line, the reinforcements will definitely be in chaos!"

As soon as everyone discussed it, cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Hu Yanzhuo's eyes were bright, and he had completely cleared his mind. His eyes seemed to have seen Liaoren's plan step by step.

He and the general in charge of sending orders immediately ordered, "Go and send an order to the reinforcements immediately, and tell them that the Liao people have probably already targeted them. Let them carefully protect the logistics supplies, and it is best to find a city to station first. Rely on the city to resist the Liao people, don't let the Liao people make a surprise attack, and don't rush to support the Daming Mansion."

"Yes!"

The general who sent the order will do it immediately.

Only Wen Da and Li Cheng asked curiously, "General, will the reinforcements listen to us?"

Hu Yanzhuo said calmly, "The leaders of the reinforcements are none other than Han Tao and Peng Qi."

"them?"

Wen Da and Li Cheng naturally knew the two of them, and they all showed surprised expressions.

They didn't expect that Song Gongming would rest assured that he would hand over a million-dollar army to the two men. Was Song Gongming too relieved about the two generals who had just surrendered?
