The fighting continues in Huandi, and the same is true in Qinguan and Northern Xinjiang.
In terms of defending Xirong, not only Yang Heng's troops but also General Peng Shuang had been transferred there by Xiao Yuan.
On the other side of Beidi, Zhao Mu's 100,000 soldiers and horses have deployed defense lines for various cities on the border. The two sides have fought no fewer than ten battles, large and small.
Among them, Tang Yue was placed in the Jingchuan area.
Jingchuan was an important military town established by Liang Jinggong after he conquered Beidi.
Judging from the entire map alone, if Beidi wants to enter the Central Plains, you can choose not to go through Jingchuan, but Jingchuan is a transportation hub. If you go around here, it is very likely that your supplies will be cut off, and you will not be able to reach overlooking Liangchuan. destination.
Therefore, Beidi must remove this nail.
It is not difficult to see from this the strategic vision of Liang Jinggong.
The invasion of Beidi was led by Shanyu Shaen personally, and he gathered many tribes, with a total army of more than 200,000.
Chanyu is the honorific title given to their leader by the northern nomads, which means the same as the monarch.
At the moment, Shane is heading towards Jingchuan with a main force of 200,000 men.
His purpose is very clear. Now that most of the Central Plains troops are restrained by the ghost tribe, and the Xirong invade Qin Pass, the Qin army in northern Xinjiang is definitely not strong enough. Naturally, he will take the opportunity to occupy some cities and plunder resources.
Moreover, Beidi has always fought against the Liang army and was put down by the Liang army. After Xiao Yuan captured the Liang Kingdom, they would naturally not surrender.
He didn't know that Tang Yue was in Jingchuan.
On the way to the march, Shane also said to his generals: "Jingchuan only has 30,000 Qin troops. I have an army of 200,000. I can conquer this place with just a few clicks."
Nearly seven times more powerful than the enemy, this would make anyone full of confidence. It was not surprising that Shane had this idea.
In view of the strong military intelligence of the Qin army, news of the main attack in Beidi was quickly spread to Tang Yue.
Jingchuan City.
In the meeting hall, the generals of the Qin army gathered together, and many people showed worries on their faces. After all, the disparity in the strength of the enemy and our troops was too great, and the previous battle was outside the border. The Qin army and Beidi had fought before, and the opponent's combat strength was It's not weak either.
However, there was no tension on Tang Yue's face, and he said directly: "The King of Qin is on an expedition, and Zhao Mu needs to hold on to the defense line. If we rely on reinforcements, the enemy will definitely defeat us. Therefore, we should take advantage of the situation before we can join forces. Counterattack and then defend."
To put it simply, there is no hope for reinforcements. If you want to defend, you must attack first! While the enemy's formation is not yet stable, defeat their spirit and destroy their confidence! In this way, our army's morale will be greatly boosted and we can hold on.
Tang Yue was not a Qin general, but he had the royal edict and military talismans in hand, and had absolute military mobilization rights for the 30,000-strong army.
After listening to what he said, the generals all looked at each other subconsciously.
Then, General Ai Ping stood up and said: "The general wants to open the door to meet the enemy and charge into the enemy's formation, but there are 200,000 enemy troops. If we attack them with this attack, we will probably die. Is it inappropriate?"
This sentence vaguely shows that you, the foreign general, don't you want us to die?
Tang Yue just had an unruly personality, not a fool. Of course he understood what Ai Ping meant. He said seriously: "Although Tang is not a Qin general, you and I share the same responsibility to guard Jingchuan. There is no doubt about this!"
Everyone looked at each other again.
Tang Yue said again: "Since this order is given, it must be carried out. At that time, I will lead a group of elite troops to rush into the enemy's formation. You generals do not need to go with you. If Tang Yue dies on the battlefield, please guard the city and do not allow foreign enemies to enter our territory." Central Plains!"
What? When the generals heard this, they all looked shocked.
I thought he was going to pick out two generals, but I didn't expect that he was going to do it himself.
At this time, Ai Ping also felt that he was using a villain's heart to seduce a gentleman. He suddenly felt ashamed and couldn't help but blush slightly. He lowered his head and clasped his fists and said, "I will be ashamed!"
Tang Yue raised his hand to stop him, with a serious look on his face: "When fighting Beidi, you must first overwhelm them in terms of momentum and defeat them! Only then will they fear you and fear you from the bottom of their hearts. Otherwise, it will only encourage their arrogance. The arrogance!"
Tang Yue was not a good strategist, but three generations of the Tang family had guarded Bei Mo. His experience in fighting Bei Di was needless to say.
But with a small number of elite soldiers, the risk of taking the initiative to kill the enemy is too great! Another general was still worried: "General, is this really what you want?"
"That's right! This is a military order! Since the King of Qin appointed me as the commander-in-chief of Jingchuan, in the army, military orders are more arrogant than anything else!" Tang Yue said firmly.
"This..." the general asked again: "Then, how many elite soldiers does the general plan to lead?"
Tang Yue said: "Outside Jingchuan City, the terrain is complex and not a vast plain. We can only dispatch three thousand elite troops. There are too many people and it will not have the effect of charging."
"Three...three thousand?" General Pian swallowed, a little dumbfounded.
"Just three thousand!" Tang Yue said directly: "I don't know the soldiers in this department. Which general should I ask to select elite soldiers for me?"
As he said that, he also glanced at everyone.
Seeing that he was serious and not joking, some people couldn't help but said: "General, this is dangerous, please think twice..."
"No need, I have made up my mind!" Tang Yue interrupted him and said: "If we want to retreat from the Beidi army, we must weaken its momentum to reassure the people. You all will stay with me. Don't you dare not fight!"
After hearing these words, everyone took a deep breath, and then looked at Tang Yue with serious expressions.
At this time, people's attitude towards him had unconsciously changed.
Ai Ping stood up again and said seriously: "The general will personally select those who dare to fight! I am also willing to go to war with the general!"
"Okay!" Tang Yue said neatly: "Tell the soldiers! The chance of victory or defeat lies in this battle!"
The Qin army decided to take the lead in defeating the Beidi army when it was not yet stable. Three thousand elite soldiers were quickly assembled.
Tang Yue was born as a general, and his youth was in the army. Before the war, he naturally knew how to do some pre-war mobilization.
At this moment, three thousand soldiers stood in formation, with their waists straight and a line horizontally and vertically.
Accompanied by Ai Ping, Tang Yue stood on the general platform directly above and said loudly:
"Soldiers! No matter what happened before! But today, Tang Yue and you are colleagues on the battlefield!"
"I swear to defend my homeland with you all! Retreat from foreign enemies!"
"Even if blood is spilled on the battlefield, it is still my glory!"
A few days later, the Beidi army approached Jingchuan.
The vanguard of the troops marched directly to the city. Shan Yushan, also riding a horse, was directly in front of the team, looking like he was sure of victory.
You know, his main army is still behind him, and he is preparing to strategically encircle Jingchuan, but he led the vanguard to the city, obviously intending to persuade him to surrender.
Why is he so relaxed? The reason couldn't be simpler. Two hundred thousand versus thirty thousand. Does thirty thousand dare to rush out and die?
One side thought that the Jingchuan defenders would definitely not dare to come out, but the other side just didn't follow the routine.
