Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    By the eighth day of October, the troops in Yanjing City had been assembled. Although the 220,000 defenders had an absolute advantage in numbers, their combat effectiveness was not the same as that of the Ora cavalry.  What's more, they have to guard nine gates. On average, each gate has less than 30,000 garrison troops. According to the horse inspection reports, the number of cavalry troops under its command is no less than 30,000.  The whole country of Dayan knew that this day would come sooner or later. When this day did come, they felt panic. Although Chen Xu had "done enough" preparations, most people were not optimistic about it. The quality of the soldiers could not keep up with the enemy. The two armies  There is no numerical advantage in the confrontation, so how can we win this battle?  Chen Xu was not completely sure. The situation in front of him actually reminded him of his motherland. The total GDP was quite high, but the average GDP dropped immediately for an individual.  "Third brother, how do you plan to deploy your troops at the nine gates of the capital?" Yang Yunrui asked Chen Xu, "Deshengmen, Xizhimen and Andingmen, if I am the first, I will definitely enter the city through one of these three gates." "  Then we will ambush all the main forces in these three gates, and wait until he steps into our encirclement first, so that he will never come back," Feng Che suggested.  "What if we don't go through these three gates first?" Chen Xu asked.  Feng Che was speechless, and he said tentatively, "Why don't you take the ordinary path?" "If he doesn't take the ordinary path, shouldn't we fall short?" Chen Xu suddenly said seriously, "Old man.  Second, there is no room for sloppiness in the war. A slight oversight may lead to the collapse of the whole front. Once the capital is lost, half of the imperial court will be the first to lose." Yang Yunrui nodded with some relief, but Feng Che said unconvinced.  "I remember that when we three brothers were outside the Great Wall, we made dangerous moves and saved the day every time. Why are you so timid this time?" Chen Xu pointed at Feng Che, "My caution is strategic caution. As for tactics,  Even if you charge into the army tent alone with a knife, I wave a small handkerchief to see you off. "Feng Che quit now, "You think I'm stupid, although I am powerful, I can't defeat a group of enemies.  Ah." Chen Xu and Yang Yunrui laughed at the same time.  Chen Xu suddenly said, "Don't worry, I have summoned the generals, and I will give you a surprise at the meeting." Feng Che asked what a surprise was, but Chen Xu smiled and did not answer. Yang Yunrui thought about his experience outside the Great Wall,  Given Lao San's "craziness", his so-called surprise may be more appropriate to be frightened "Then how do you plan to allocate troops?" Chen Xu looked at the map for a long time.  "Except for Desheng Gate, Xizhi Gate, and Anding Gate, the other six gates each have 20,000 defenders. Each of these three gates has 30,000 defenders." "Then there are still 10,000 people." Feng Che is not bad at math.  He asked, "Also, if we don't attack from these three gates first, 20,000 people may not be able to withstand the Wala cavalry."  It doesn't matter if you crush the enemy's balls, in a word, you can do anything." He paused.  Chen Xu added, "Also, call the people in nearby counties, Hebei, and Shanxi to fight guerrillas with them" Chen Xu looked at Yang Yunrui and Yang Yunrui's confused looks, and he explained, "It's just small-scale harassment, the enemy  When the enemy retreats, we advance. When the enemy is tired, we attack, just to make them uneasy. Think about it, what kind of situation would it be like to lose a few people every time? " Yang Yunrui and Feng Che looked at Chen as if they were ghosts.  Xu, the former said sincerely.  "I met you first, so I guess his life is in danger." Feng Che said, "Third brother, this is in line with your character." But Chen Xu said modestly, "Where is this? Boss, since you  If you don't succeed first, then I'll give him another big gift." He pointed to Juyong Pass on the map and said, "Boss, you can send your best generals to station here and send dozens of artillery over there.  I don¡¯t believe that this old boy is not happy.¡± Yang Yunrui took a breath, but Feng Che said in surprise, ¡°The capital has not enough manpower, so why should we divide our troops to garrison at Juyong Pass?¡± ¡°It would be disadvantageous to attack the capital first.  The best choice." Chen Xu gave Yang Yunrui a thumbs up. The two of them felt sympathetic. Feng Che scratched his head, "I still don't understand." "If you are lucky enough to survive, you must be strong.  He's injured." "What if our people can't defeat him?" Chen Xu said with a smile, "Who wants to fight with him? My cannon will explode." "What if we strike first?"  Feng Che had obviously put a lot of thought into this, which could not but be said to be an improvement for him.  Yang Yunrui couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He had indeed ignored this issue.  Chen Xu said, "Don't you think it's getting cold too early this year? There are signs of freezing in the capital, not to mention places farther north? I'll take my place."If they make a bad move, you will pour water on the city wall. The water will condense into ice. Even if you are a gecko, you will probably be able to beat your chest.  " Feng Che was stunned, and Yang Yunrui actually trembled. He was indeed unlucky. On the tenth day of October, Chen Xu organized the last plenary military meeting. In addition to the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the generals who commanded the army were present at the meeting. " History uses facts  Tell us that political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the world can be conquered immediately, but the world cannot be ruled immediately. During peacetime, civil servants pointed out the rivers and promoted words, but when the war broke out, they stopped. Especially at this moment, some of them were so frightened that they looked like  Like a quail; on the other hand, most of the generals are eager to try. They fight together, and the battlefield is the step for them to advance. Among them, there is one person who stands out. This person is born with a strong back, big ears, and a beard. He has a handle in his hand.  He is Shi Heng, a general who fled on the battlefield. Chen Xu released him from prison and served as deputy commander-in-chief under Yang Yunrui. He regarded Datong's defeat as an official.  Because of the great humiliation in his life, he knew that he had to break through the Bauhinia Pass first, so he told himself that the time had come to avenge his shame. Of course, Shi Heng was not a fool, and he had been thinking about how to defeat the enemy these days.  As for the "savior" Chen Xu, to be honest, he really doesn't take this young child seriously The three Chen Xu brothers finally arrived. Yang Yunrui was dressed in a military uniform, and Feng Che was dressed up. As for Chen Xu, he was wearing a moonsuit.  Wearing a white scholar's shirt, his gentle and elegant appearance was more like that of a young man who read poetry and books - commonly known as a nerd. During this period of preparation for the war, Chen Xu was gentle in his methods. Although he did not impress the generals, the civil servants had a good impression of him and saw the three of them.  When they came in, they stood up in unison. This was not the first time that Chen Xu had experienced this kind of situation. He waved for everyone to take their seats. He asked straight to the point, "Ye Xian's cavalry will arrive in the capital soon. How should we defend against the enemy when we approach the city?"  Do you have any good ideas?  " Chen Xu hopes that the ministers here can speak freely. This is called democracy; of course, he will still stick to his own opinion. This is called centralization. Only through democracy first and then centralization can we accomplish great things
