With the arrival of autumn harvest, farmers are busy again and are about to start autumn harvest. Now there is a tense atmosphere of racing against time over the clock and surrounding villages and towns.

The autumn harvest can be said to be the time when the people are most looking forward to. Because of the good harvest and the harvest, this joy is indescribable.

Two days later, the investigator named Wang Tao came back and told Yang Yichuan, Lin Tu and others about the news. The atmosphere at the scene soon fell into silence, of course this was only temporary.

"Your Highness, please see, according to what Wang Tao said, these Beiyuan people are at this location. If we are fast-moving, it will only take two days to get back. Wang Tao also rushed back in two days, and the Beiyuan people did not seem to be in a hurry to come to Xihe City. This gave us a lot of time and opportunities."

"General Lin means to take the initiative? If you attack, it means that the artillery is unusable."

"Indeed, we have 5,000 Xiao family troops now, so it is not difficult to deal with these more than 2,000 Beiyuan people. In addition, the support of Xihe Army and the City Guards, it is no problem to eliminate this small group of Beiyuan people at a small cost."

Lin Tu was originally a general who was good at attacking, while He Chu was no match for defense. The years of stability in Dingsha City and Xihezhou were also due to the general He Chu.

"My thoughts are the same. The Beiyuan people's troops have not arrived yet. At this distance, if we run away, the Beiyuan people will definitely be caught off guard. You can try it." Yang Yichuan was not a restless person, and he was also very supportive of this plan to take the initiative.

"However, I'm not very good at this, so General Lin and Sister Mu Xue, you guys mainly discuss it. It's best to make enough preparations. If the Beiyuan people's army is also coming when we are rushing away, we must deal with it."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yang Yichuanbian stopped talking, but listened to the discussions of these people. He had ideas, but it might not be appropriate. If he raised it rashly, it might affect their judgment.

"First of all, even if the enemy has only more than 2,000 Beiyuan cavalry, once these more than 2,000 people are close, they will be more powerful. Therefore, first use bows and arrows to suppress them. Each of the Xiao family troops is elite soldiers, and bows and arrows are no longer a problem. This suppression task will be handed over to you."

"Secondly, once the Beiyuan people are found to be attacked, they will definitely react, either counterattack in time or flee. The Xihe Army acts as an ambush, so that the Beiyuan people cannot approach easily. It also gives the Xiao family army sufficient time to change the combat methods. For the City Guards, they will support the people on the periphery to prevent the Beiyuan people from escaping."

"This is my plan, I wonder what you think?"

"But, the Kitayuan people may not be still in that place now. It will take us about three days in the past. If we change places, our combat plan will not be very good."

"Your Highness, can't this artillery be brought to fight together? If there is an artillery, no matter what terrain it is, I will be sure to destroy this Beiyuan army with very little damage."

"I plan to surprise the Beiyuan people. Once the Beiyuan people army attacks, the artillery will catch them off guard and directly establish our victory. If we use it now, it is very likely that our killing weapon will be exposed."

Lin Tu also knew Yang Yichuan’s idea and took the overall situation into consideration. These 2,000 Beiyuan people were just a small part. Yang Yichuan wanted to use artillery to deal with the Beiyuan people’s large troops.

"Don't worry, your Highness, even if they know that there is such a thing, they will still come. Even if they know the artillery, they have no way to deal with it, right?"

Yang Yichuan was also concerned about it. He was worried about the news of the artillery before. Now he was worried about the impact of the artillery. But in fact, since they decided to come, they would only win or fail here.

Even if a few people ran away and told the main force that there was the Xiao family army and artillery, would the Beiyuan people believe it? No, they always believed that the Beiyuan people were the most powerful race and that their cavalry was invincible. After the small force failed, they would be angry and embarrassed. Although they would not lose their minds, they would definitely come to take revenge.

"Then bring the artillery with you, let the Xihe Army crush directly at a long range, set up a formation on the side of the city guards, make full preparations, and then let the cavalry of the Xiao family army clean up the mess."

Lin Tu was also very happy after knowing that the cannons had joined. Lin Tu knew that the power of the cannon was the best. After the cannon appeared, Lin Tu began to think about the application of cannons. He even thought that there were enough cannons that could completely flatten everything.

"Then bring 10 artillery pieces, bring enough ammunition, and strive for a quick battle. After winning, bring back those who can be brought back, but not those who can't. This time, what we can say is that it is coming out in full swing. Be sure to pay attention to sending reconnaissance personnel to the Beiyuan people's army first. If you make sure that the large army is not nearby or is far away, then take action."

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Lin Tu was not dissatisfied with the fingers of Yang Yichuan, an amateur, but knew that Yang Yichuan was cautious. Moreover, the appearance of artillery would inevitably change the tactics. Lin Tu also asked Yang Yichuan for advice at that time. Although Yang Yichuan did not understand these military tactics, he had many ideas that could be applied and gained something to Lin Tu.

"Then General Lin, look at it, when is the right time to set off?"

"In fact, these days, the Xiao family's Xihe Army and the city guards are actively preparing for defense. If they want to go out of the city to attack, it will take some time to prepare and they will be able to set out tomorrow."

"Okay, this time, 5,000 Xiao family troops, 1,000 Xihe troops, and 1,000 more city guards."

Only 2,000 city guards were left to defend, and 10 artillery pieces were taken away. If there was really a large Beiyuan people hiding, then Xihecheng's defense would not be enough.

Since reconnaissance got the lead, Xihecheng had time to plan in advance and prepare in advance. Several people made plans, and it was okay to say that this plan was successful. Once it failed or something happened, it would be the end of Xihecheng's loss.

Yang Yizhuan also believes that sending so many reconnaissance teams is effective. Since only these 2,000 Beiyuan people were discovered and no large troops were found, it means that the Beiyuan people's large troops have not yet arrived near Xihe City.

The next day, the Qingcheng, a large number of Xiao family troops, Xihe Army and the city guards left the city gate. Although it was already early, some people still discovered this scene. Such a large-scale action could not be ignored.

Yang Yichuan stood on the city wall and watched the army go away. This was the first battle of the Xihe Army. This battle would really start the name of the Xihe Army. When the real battle began, it would not be so easy. After this battle, the people of Beiyuan would no longer dare to have any ideas about Xihezhou.
