Finally, several lieutenants arrived at Yamlei's camp after retreating from the siege on the third day.
Several people knelt on one knee. Yamurei, who was sitting above him, nodded slightly and looked at the military book in his hand calmly.
He seemed indifferent to the arrival of the lieutenants.
The leading lieutenant general spoke directly, "General, I forgive my rudeness, but there is something that I am holding back in my heart. I feel really uncomfortable. I can't say anything today."
"General, this battle so far is completely inconsistent with your fighting style. Whether it was hiding your whereabouts, marching out at night and day, or the following day, you defeated the two passes of Daliang in one day. How exciting this is. People’s hearts.”
"But now, we have been fighting here in Tongguan for three days, and it is still such a clumsy war of attrition. This is not the way the wolf soldiers fight at all. General, what's wrong with you."
Yamulei, who was holding the book of war, listened to the indignation of the first deputy general and was silent for a while. He moved his eyes away from the book of war and looked at the several lieutenants below.
Then he said, "Are you guys thinking the same way?"
"That's right, General, we don't understand your style of fighting, and it's not suitable for wolf soldiers."
"Even if the Lord is going to punish us, we must speak out what is in our hearts."
Yamure put aside the military book in his hand, with a smile on his resolute face, and said with a smile.
"Haha, only you have the courage to offend me. Don't worry, brothers, please be patient. When the time comes, you will know that our contribution is very important."
These lieutenants are Yamulei's confidants, and they are brothers who have been through life and death for many years.
Indeed, they were the only ones who dared to step forward and offend at this time.
The lieutenants did not speak and looked up at Yamurei. They were not stupid and could hear Yamurei's voiceover.
Yamurei's smile faded and he continued, "Yes, fighting such a clumsy war of attrition is not my style at all, and in terms of time, we can't afford it."
"But do you really think that this general has no backup plan? If you think about it carefully, it will be difficult for us to have the strength to attack Tongguan this time."
After being prompted by Yamulei, several lieutenants reacted instantly. The leading lieutenant asked in surprise.
"The wolf cavalry are gone. Could it be that the general sent them to attack..."
Yamurei smiled and nodded, "If you calculate the time, they should be arriving at the Kyoto City of Great Liang soon."
When the voice fell, several lieutenants were stunned, their hearts beating fast.
They were all shocked by Yamurei's words. Since these people could serve as deputy generals of the Great Rong Wolf Legion, they naturally understood Yamurei's intention.
The Wolf Cavalry is the elite of the Wolf Legion. At first, they pretended to be general harassing cavalry and attacked the three frontier levels.
Juyong and Hangu could be captured quickly, and the Wolf Cavalry was indispensable.
I originally thought that the wolf cavalry was sent down to rest by the general, but who knew that their general would be so bold.
On one hand, they used the main force of the wolf army to attack Tongguan. On the other hand, they let the wolf cavalry make a bold surprise attack. They also bypassed the enemy and went straight to the capital of Daliang.
This plan is quite risky.
One mistake and everything will be lost, but if it succeeds, it will definitely be a huge shock to Great Liang.
After all, in the three hundred years since the founding of Daliang, no foreign army had ever been able to attack the capital.
If this happens, the Emperor of Great Liang will definitely be on pins and needles.
Maybe, without saying a word, the Tongguan defenders would have to return to defense.
This is of greater value than encircling Tongguan. Read the book
Any empire in Kyoto is threatened, and the psychological shadow is huge.
I'm afraid that by then, there will be complete riots in the capital of Daliang, and the defenders of Tongguan will definitely have no intention of defending the city.
Taking Tongguan, joining up with the wolf cavalry, and approaching the capital of Daliang, this move is exciting enough to think about.
The confusion on the faces of several lieutenants was instantly wiped away, and some just felt deep admiration for their commander.
Clothes.
This is their commander in chief, the master of mobile warfare. Thinking about it now, their purpose is to delay the Tongguan defenders.
The purpose was to buy time for the wolf cavalry to circle back, and there was a reasonable explanation for the three days of continuous attacks.
Next, the Tongguan defenders must not be allowed to relax in the slightest, otherwise, once they think of something, their plan will be in vain.
Thinking of this, the leading deputy general said, "General, I will arrange for my subordinates to continue the attack. I will not give the enemy in Tongguan any chance to relax."
Yamurei nodded, but did not ask them to retreat. Instead, he asked.
"I heard that among the reinforcements sent by Great Liang Kyoto, Su Qi'an, the man who humbled His Highness the Crown Prince, was also there? Why haven't we seen his army in the past few days?"
"Back to the general, this man may be regarded as a trump card by the Tongguan garrison. His whereabouts have indeed not been found so far."
Yamulei thought thoughtfully and then said, "Send a message to Juyong and Hangu to ask them to be more vigilant and not to relax. They are also crucial to our success."
"General, are you saying that this Su Qian will also launch a sneak attack? Probably not? He only has a few troops at his disposal, and if he does a sneak attack, it will most likely be at Juyong Pass."
"We have 10,000 troops at Juyong Pass. If we were to attack by surprise, it would be impossible to kill us in a short time. Moreover, the terrain of Juyong Pass is flat. We can get there as long as we persist for half a day."
"As for Hangu Pass, let alone mention it. One man can open it, and the absolute terrain advantage is invincible. With just the few men and horses in his hand, he wants to take it."
After saying this, Yamulei's face was very serious, and he said coldly to the lieutenants below.
"Don't forget, there is an old saying in Daliang, a proud soldier will be defeated. Don't underestimate this Liang man Su Qi'an. If he really has no ability, how could he cause the prince to suffer a big loss."
"According to the analysis of the military reports from the last battle of Ningzhou, this person fought completely unorganized, as if he was following his whim, but in this, several exquisite fighting methods can be seen."
"This man is also a general who is good at mobile warfare. He should not be underestimated. As I said before, I have asked Juyong and Hangu to be on guard. If anything happens, we will engage in military law."
After being scolded by Yamulei, several generals nodded heavily and then retreated.
Yamure looked outside the camp and murmured softly, "I hope nothing happens."
At the same time, Tongguan only rested for two or three hours after a fierce battle with the Wolf Legion.
As the wolf regiment's bugle sounded, Liu Xin's face tightened, and in an instant, a large number of people climbed onto the city wall again.
Archers, slingers, shield-bearers, and axe-bearers are all in place, and there are even reserve teams in the city ready to fight at any time.
A powerful prince in the city, riding a war horse, looked up at the gloomy sky and said softly.
"Are these honorable soldiers a bunch of lunatics? They are so desperate that they can't even breathe. Brother Liang, what should we do next?"
Zheng Liang's expression was serious, he looked around, then lowered his voice and spoke to the powerful nobles beside him.
"Remember, everything depends on my eyes. Don't rush so fast. If something goes wrong, retreat immediately."
"Brother Liang is right. Our lives are no more valuable than these rough guys. When the time comes, if the situation goes wrong, please act accordingly."
Soon, with a low roar, the war in Tongguan started again.
As time passed, military reports one after another, like snowflakes, were passed towards the imperial city of Kyoto behind.
In the Imperial City Council Hall, figures were flashing. Those who could come here were, without exception, the absolute most powerful figures in Kyoto.
From His Majesty to the Duke and Marquis, everyone's expressions were serious.
Looking at their faces, they looked tired, and they hadn't had a good rest in the past few days.
Su Xuanyong stood in front of the sand table, scanning the military newspaper in his hand one by one. His face was tense from beginning to end.
The princes and princes around
, according to the information from the military newspaper, they whispered to each other and drafted and issued follow-up tasks.
But in such a tense atmosphere, suddenly, a deep voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, judging from the military reports in the past few days, there is still a lot of good news. Tongguan is still in our hands. If we hold on for seven days, the reinforcements closest to Kyoto will arrive. By then, the crisis in Kyoto will be resolved. "
Su Xuanyong nodded. As an emperor, how could he not know this? However, he did not dampen Chen Guogong's interest.
After all, everyone is under a lot of pressure these days, so you still need to relax appropriately.
Su Xuanyong said, "Mr. Chen Guo, you have worked hard. Please take a rest for a while. If anything happens later, I will call you."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have something to say that I cannot express in my heart. I hope your majesty can understand my offense."
The military report in Su Xuanyong's hand stopped in mid-air, he looked at Chen Guogong and said, "Chen Guogong, what's the matter with you? Tell me, I forgive you."
"Thank you for your forgiveness. Judging from the current situation, we still have the upper hand. However, at this time, one of the reinforcements that went to support us lost contact."
"It can even be said that he disappeared. For three days, there was no news about Lian. Even if the old minister understands his difficulties, he may have some big plans and cannot tell the news, but the situation in Kyoto is still very critical at the moment. It would be too much to do so. It’s just child’s play.”
Chen Guogong's words directly caused everyone in the hall to stop.
Of course they knew who the person Chen Guogong mentioned was, but no one spoke, they just watched quietly, their eyes falling on Su Xuanyong in the middle.
After all, His Majesty is the biggest here, and since His Majesty has not spoken, how can they interrupt.
Su Xuanyong looked indifferent and asked, "Chen Guolao, what do you mean?"
"Back to Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, as soon as this person conceals his whereabouts, I wonder if he has other intentions. After all, the army in his hands is not a group of good people. It is really out of control. It is hard to say."
"Second, in the current battle situation, this person's troops are of no use at all. What is his intention? We don't know."
"So here, the old minister is offended and wants to impeach Dongshan Bo Su Qi'an."
