Chapter 568 This is a unnecessary sacrifice

Because no one would put all their troops under the enemy's nose, otherwise they would be seeking death.

However, even if it was just an approximate number, it was still more than double the remaining troops on their side.

"Third brother, do you really want to counterattack Yashuiguan?"

Ling Yun asked with a solemn expression.

This is a very serious issue.

If they choose to garrison Yashui City, they will never dare to attack with the current strength of the Xingyao Empire Expeditionary Force.

Because Yashuicheng is not Yashuiguan, even if the city is besieged, they will still have enough supplies of food and grass until the Imperial City of the Huangyuan Empire sends troops for reinforcements.

But after all, this is a choice that does not seek merit, but seeks no faults.

Because Ling Yun really lost Yashui Pass.

Ling Xiao regained Yashuiguan, and what he had to make up for the most was Ling Yun's fault, not Ling Xiao's own fault.

"Don't you want to regain what you lost?" Ling Xiao raised his head and glanced at Ling Yun.

"Of course I want to, but I'm more afraid of throwing away the remaining things." Ling Yun sighed and looked in the direction of Yashuiguan.

With their current military strength, it is not easy to retake Yashuiguan.

In a siege battle, the siege party always has to have several times the strength of the defenders before they are qualified to forcefully siege the city.

Otherwise, the defenders can only be trapped in the city.

Now Ling Xiao wants to use 110,000 troops to capture Yashui Pass, which is guarded by 250,000 troops. This is no longer a matter of self-confidence or arrogance. This is simply a daydream.

What if the remaining troops were lost at Yashui Pass?

Even Yashui City will be surrendered to the Expeditionary Force of the Star Star Empire.

"I know what you are worried about, and I agree with your thoughts." Ling Xiao naturally understood what Ling Yun was worried about.

This is also something that a coach must consider.

But Ling Xiao didn't think so.

When it comes to the border issues of the Huangyuan Empire, no inch of ground should be given away, no matter how much money is spent.

"But Yashui Pass should not be let out." Ling Xiao changed the topic.

"Of course I know, but what's the point of talking about this now. When I return to the imperial city in the future, it will be me who my father wants to punish. Why do you still do such a thankless thing?" Ling Yun persuaded.

This is not because Ling Yun lacks courage.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a war that is bound to be lost, and there is no need to fight it at all.

"Let's do this. You give me 20,000 troops, plus the cavalry I lead as the advance force. If nothing can be done, I believe that the remaining troops you lead will be enough to defend Xia Yashui City."

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and then made a suggestion.

"Third brother, there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices at this time." Ling Yun said angrily.

Going to attack Yashui Pass with 110,000 troops is already a daydream.

Then using 30,000 troops as an advance force to attack Yashui Pass is something I wouldn't even dare to dream about.

"Whether it is a unnecessary sacrifice or not is not up to you. Do you want to give me the 20,000 troops or not?" Ling Xiao looked directly into Ling Yun's eyes and asked with a serious face.

Ling Yun also looked straight back without evading.

But in the end he was defeated.

"I give."

After Ling Yun said these words, he fell down on the chair as if his strength had been drained.

Judging from the fact that Ling Xiao responded to his breakout, there was no problem in allocating the 20,000 troops to Ling Xiao due to circumstances and reasons.
