The production of firearms is not enough, which is one of the reasons why Li Xingchen is not inclined to go to war with Yu Wenxian. He hopes to form an absolute advantage over Yu Wenxian, no matter what.
According to the urgency of the war, the northwest side should soon be equipped. After all, the northwest has to face the threats of Yang Jian and Tuyuhun, and there are also Turks who may appear again at some time.
But Yang Jian obviously didn't intend to give them this opportunity.
The war was about to break out, and the generals of the Han Dynasty could no longer place their hopes on firearms.
But as Yu Xi said, the Han army also had no firearms at the beginning, so didn't they still defeat the Turks?
Facing Yuan Xie, who was even less numerous than the Turks, the Han army was not without the power to fight.
Chun Yuliang nodded: "Go on."
"We occupy a favorable location and can rely on the city and camp to form an array. At the same time, we can send cavalry and a group of infantry to block important roads that Yuan Xie may take, such as Huangshawan. When the time comes, Yuan Xie will have no choice but to bite the bullet.
But they have to expose their strategic purpose, or they can only choose to take a detour. Now Yuan Xie can't afford the time loss caused by the detour, right?" Yu Xi then said, "Or we can directly lead the army.
Go forward, choose a suitable location to occupy the favorable terrain, intercept Yuan Xie head-on, and intercept the flames of war directly outside Lingwu!"
After a pause, Yu Xi's eyes became more alert: "In this way, the entire battlefield situation is under our control, so it should be Yuan Xie who thinks about how we should fight!"
After Yu Xi finished speaking, the meeting hall fell into a brief silence.
But the silence was soon broken by Chun Yuliang.
"Good!" Chun Yuliang put his hands on his hands and laughed, "Today, Yu Lang, the old general, if you know anything under the spring, you should close your eyes!"
Chun Yuliang had to admit that his vision was relatively narrow. He focused more on how to protect Lingwu City, but he forgot that the strength gap between the two sides was not actually very large. Instead of directly setting up the battlefield
In Lingwu, it is better for the Han army to take the initiative to attack Lingwu. If it succeeds, it will naturally not cause too much damage to Lingwu, and even if it fails, the Han army can retreat to Lingwu and continue to hold on.
It's better than having a direct decisive battle with the enemy in Lingwu.
When Chun Yuliang said this, Yu Xi felt a little embarrassed. Yu Zhongwen also smiled and cheered. This brother of his had always known how to fight and kill. He had always been a reckless man and had given his uncle a lot of headaches.
, once upon a time, he has grown into a general with his own opinions, uncle Izumi should be pleased.
Yu Xi then raised his hand and said: "General, I would like to ask you to be the vanguard."
Chun Yuliang was a little hesitant: "My nephew has just arrived, he has to rest no matter what."
"My late father's will is still in my ears, or I dare not forget it," Yu Xi said directly.
"Forget it, then you will be the vanguard and lead all the cavalry and 5,000 infantry to Huangshawan, and a certain army will follow!" Chun Yuliang knew that this young man was eager to fight, and he couldn't resist him at all.
"Promise!" Yu Xi promised.
Seeing Yu Xi striding away, Chun Yuliang couldn't help but sigh: "The son of the Han family today is very different from the past."
As a veteran, he has seen too many failures in his life, and he has also seen the Han family groveling.
But in front of them, these Han soldiers are obviously no longer what they used to be.
They stand firm and aim for the distant future.
It is no longer their habit to be timid and stick to one city.
"Assemble your troops and horses, and we are ready to set off." Chun Yuliang took a deep breath and ordered.
Perhaps he was infected by the sight of Yu Xi striding away, but at this time the old general's blood was boiling.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had felt this way. He just felt like he had endless strength.
Just like when I was young.
Wuwei City is the western boundary of the Han Dynasty. Continuing to the west is the activity range of Tuyuhun.
It is precisely for this reason that although Wuwei City continues to grow, the Han army has stationed 50,000 soldiers and horses here. These 50,000 soldiers and horses are not only to prevent Tuyuhun from attacking at any time, but also to protect the horse farm at the foot of the Qilian Mountains.
.
After all, the Han Dynasty now relies on the horse farms at the foot of the Qilian Mountains for its war horses.
In the war to conquer the north, it is impossible without war horses.
This is why Changsun Sheng has been stationed in Wuwei City for a long time.
Today's Wuwei is quite lively, not only because a group of reinforcements from Guanzhong have arrived, but also because the long-standing enemy of the Wuwei defenders has finally made some moves.
"The Tuyuhun people can't help but want to take action. You came at the right time." Changsun Sheng rubbed his hands. He was still a little cold after coming back from outside.
Although Wuwei is not yet full of snow in August, winter is about to begin, and the cold of winter can be clearly felt outside. As a civil servant, Changsun Sheng is still not as good as a military general, and this cold is enough for him
Drink a pot.
Standing in front of Changsun Sheng was Yu Wenxin who came with five thousand cavalry to support him.
Behind Yu Wenxin, there is another pair of brothers in distress, He Ruobi and Shi Wansui.
Yuwen surrendered, and Liang Shiyan, Wei Xiaokuan and others also surrendered to the Han Dynasty. It was naturally unrealistic for them to continue to serve the Zhou Dynasty. They did not have the consciousness to continue working for Yang Jian, but if they directly turned the spearhead and followed Li Xinchen to deal with Yuwen Xian
, the two of them were unwilling to do so, so when Li Xingchen asked them to come to the northwest with Yu Wenxin, He Ruobi and Shi Wansui, who already knew they had no choice, did not refuse.
At least the British public servant Yu Wenxin is also someone they are familiar with. He can even be regarded as a famous general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty military. Following Yu Wenxin can be regarded as continuing to serve the Yuwen family, so that they will not feel so much guilt psychologically.
.
They and Changsun Sheng had known each other before, so naturally everyone avoided greetings and greetings at this time.
"Murong is really dishonest," Yu Wenxin said lightly. He had been to the northwest before and knew the ambitions of the Tyuhun people. "But the fact that they are so careful with their calculations shows that they must be facing many problems themselves."
After they captured Shazhou, they also captured the Hexi Corridor. While conquering the Western Regions in the west, they naturally also wanted to expand eastward. It would be best to capture Wuwei directly and control the entire Hexi Corridor. They could even continue
Advance eastward and occupy the entire northwest.
This time Yang Jian attacked the northwest. It can be imagined that he must be in cahoots with Tuguhun, just to attack from both sides and finally capture the northwest together.
Otherwise, if Tuyuhun really wanted to take action, he would never have waited until today. When the main force of the northwest Han Dynasty went south to support the Guanzhong war, they should have taken action.
