Chapter 847 Dayan’s countermeasures!

Yanjun camp!

Imperial tent.

The atmosphere in the entire tent was extremely surprised, and they looked cautiously at His Majesty Yan Huang who was sitting at the top.

"Your Majesty, the camp has been set up."

"Um!"

Emperor Yan slowly sat up from the dragon chair, walked step by step to the center of the civil and military ministers, and smiled like a self-mockery: "Once upon a time, Dayu was never seen by me, but in just a few months, I, Dayu, was... Yu was defeated repeatedly."

"Even after losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, the territory was still not preserved?"

"My dear ministers, who do you think is responsible?"

Emperor Yan looked around, and the emperor's gaze made all the civil and military officials lower their heads and confess their guilt one after another.

"Your Majesty, we are helpless."

"snort!"

Emperor Yan snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Now, the number of Dayu's soldiers and horses in Changluo City is still greater than ours, and our nine... guards in the capital can hardly advance!"

"Everyone, let's discuss this!"

"What should it be?"

As soon as Emperor Yan finished speaking, he glanced at the people around him. Luo Tian was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, after today's battle, there will be no legend!"

"And our army has retreated another thirty miles, and behind it is the hinterland of our three counties of Dayan. If Dayu continues to advance, he will advance unimpeded!"

"But if we continue to capture Changluo, 200,000 troops and horses will not be enough!"

"The last general suggested that we fight a protracted war with Dayu to force them to withdraw their troops!"

As soon as Luo Tian finished speaking, a minister of the Guards also came out with his hands: "Your Majesty, what Marquis Shenwu said is true. Our army's advantage now lies in sufficient food and grass and short supply lines."

"And Dayu has nearly half a million soldiers and horses in Changluo. The loss of food and grass alone may make it difficult for Dayu to maintain his troops."

"In the past few years, although Dayu has become increasingly powerful, he has also become aggressive in military affairs. He has more than a million soldiers and horses. It is absolutely difficult to support Dayu with his national power!"

"I suggest that we continue to mobilize the army and besiege rather than attack!"

"Avoid the battle!"

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. I suggest that we dig more trenches outside Changluo City, build more arrow towers and blockhouses, and deploy defensive horses to delay Dayu's offensive!"

"From now on, when the weather turns cold and there is heavy snow, Dayu's supplies will become even more difficult to maintain, and he will be defeated by then!"

After hearing the advice of the ministers, Emperor Yan's expression softened a lot. There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a figure was seen hurriedly coming.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen is back."

"Xuan!"

Not long after, I saw an eunuch walking quickly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, General Guru has written a letter personally written by the old slave to inform your Majesty."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan's face darkened, and he pressed towards the eunuch with terrible power: "You mean, the guru has never returned?"

"yes……"

Eunuch Chen bowed his head and knelt on the ground, held up his hands, and said in a deep voice: "The ancient commander is determined to send his troops south and attack Dali from Ximen Pass. He also asked the old slave to tell your majesty that the ancient Confucian scholar will serve the country all his life, and he will have no regrets even if he dies. !”

"If no good news comes to Changluo within a month, the ancient scholar is willing to die to apologize!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was moved. Even the anger on Emperor Yan's face softened a lot, and he said calmly: "Give me his letter!"

"yes!"

Eunuch Chen presented the ancient scholar's handwriting to the emperor. Emperor Yan read it quickly, with a bit of emotion on his face: "I am very touched by the loyalty of the ancient scholar."

"Pass the decree and confer the title of Great General Pingnan on the ancient scholar. He can make decisions on the southern expedition on his own!"

"According to the order!"

"Report——"

"Your Majesty, Commander Qi has urgent military information!"

Another loud shout came, and Emperor Yan's heart skipped a beat, and Wen Wu on the side also held his breath.

"explain!"

"Commander Qi, Commander Qi personally led a group of light cavalry to attack Dayu's grain transport team and cut off their grain road!"

After a moment of silence, Emperor Yan suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, God is really helping me!"

"Qi Jin has made great contributions to me, Da Yan!"

"Okay, okay... I didn't expect that at the critical moment, Qi Yu would make a miraculous feat!"

Lu Bu and Xing Daorong also smiled when they heard this, but they couldn't help but worry about Dayu in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, with such a good opportunity, should we march forward and continue to capture Changluo?"

"No!"

The short-sighted minister Wang Zhen shook his head: "Dayu's food and grass have been cut off, and his defeat has been determined. If we march at this time, they will definitely resist desperately."

"The gain is not worth the loss!"

"We might as well wait a few days, send people to spread rumors, shake the morale of Yu's army, and then find out whether Yu is real or not, and see how many days their food and grass can last!"

"Um!"

Luo Tian also nodded and said calmly: "Your Majesty, General, please mobilize the Beiyan Army to go south."

"allow!"

Emperor Yan nodded, his eyes shining brightly: "Inform the imperial court, follow Yang Changshun and Lin Yan to lead the Nanya Imperial Army to march westward!"

"The Beiyan Army will mobilize 300,000 troops and go south immediately!"

"promise!"

…

Outside Yanying.

In the flat wilderness, the ground shook, the mountains shook, and the sky was filled with dust. Several villages they passed seemed to hear the noise, and they were all frightened and hid in cellars or fled in all directions.

"tread!"

"tread!"

The dull sound of horse hoofbeats seemed to be the sound of trumpets. The leading generals rode their horses and raised their whips, looking into the distance.

"General Zaixing, have you ever heard of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry?"

"No!"

Yang Zaixing shook his head, looked at the white horse figures on one side, and said solemnly: "As far as I know, there was no such army before the Song Dynasty!"

"With such a military appearance and momentum, it will be difficult to find an opponent throughout the ages."

"It's even better than my Great Tang Xuanjia!"

"Command brothers, in today's battle, whoever hinders my Xuanjia Army will go to the logistics to feed the horses from now on."

"promise!"

The army galloped forward, and Changluo occupied Yan's camp thirty miles away. The two armies stopped five miles away from Yan's camp. Xue Li and Xu Fengnian ordered at the same time: "All officers and men, put on your armor and change your horses!"

"As you command!"

After a stick of incense, the dull sound of horse hoofbeats sounded again, and the news had already been received in the Yanjun camp.

"Report——"

"Your Majesty, there is a cavalry group heading towards my camp. The number is unknown!"

"Asshole!"

Emperor Yan was furious and looked at the generals under his command: "Do you really think that my great Yan has no one to call you?"

"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight!"

"Your Majesty, Dayu wants to raid our camp before our army is firmly established. What I mean is... hold on to the camp!"

"Marquis Shenwu, what do you think?"

Luo Tian's eyes were deep and he said softly: "There is a cavalry attack at this time. It must be Dayu's heavy cavalry Xuanjia army. It cannot be defeated!"

"Heavy Cavalry!"

As soon as these three words came out, all the officials' expressions changed. Even Emperor Yan was gnashing his teeth angrily: "You can't bully me, Da Yan, for not having heavy armor?"

"If I, the Great Yan Dragon Rider, were not here, how could I have allowed Yu's army to act recklessly?"

"Send an order to set up a horse trap in front of the camp, dig a trench in the camp, pour kerosene at the entrance, wait for the Yu army's cavalry to attack, and set fire to block it!"

"promise!"

After Luo Tian finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Yan in front of him: "Your Majesty, if you are brave, please ask the Holy Master to return to the court!"
