Yang Yichuan, Li Ru, Lin Tu, and the five siblings of the Xiao family ate hot pot at the mansion. Every time they went out, they could be said to be hard work, and there was no way to do so. The development could not be achieved. If there were more and more cities, the roads became more and more convenient, and no longer the city walls were set up, then travel might be much better.

Xiao Muxue first said: "This time the Beiyuan people may send more troops. According to the captive tribe leader's instructions, it is estimated that there will be 30,000 troops."

Yang Yichuan also looked solemn. He didn't expect that the Kitayuan people sent so many people this time. "30,000, it seems that they have really invested a lot this time. General Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Tu also sat at the table, "This time the Beiyuan people came in a fierce manner, and it is inevitable that they would not return without success. Moreover, it can be said that they have a firm goal, which is our Xihe City. I think the best way is to defend the city."

"The Beiyuan people are in an open area, and the cavalry is too strong. When we go out to the city to fight, regardless of the strength gap, the military strength is also very different. Although the artillery is powerful, in an open area, the Beiyuan people can quickly get close to each other and cannot play a strong role."

Li Ru also spoke, "If the Beiyuan people captured Xihe City this time, it would be a disaster. Moreover, if Xihe City is lost, it will be even harder to say about other cities."

"It seems that everyone's ideas are similar, defending. Fighting requires morale. One round of action, one round of action, and then one round of decline, and three rounds of effort. They came out of Xihe City, and this was a round of action. We rely on artillery and unexpectedly, and we first dispel their morale. With this defeat, the other party will definitely have some countermeasures. We will defend Xihe City. When we can't capture it for a long time, our morale will inevitably decline again, and this is a decline again."

"Once morale declines, there will be some hesitation between choices and choices, and Xihecheng will be safe. However, I still have a bold idea." Yang Yichuan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing Yang Yichuan's ambition at this moment. Of course, Yang Yichuan's ambition is not about the throne, but about the upcoming Beiyuan army.

Lin Tu and Li Ru are no longer surprised by Yang Yichuan’s bold ideas. The previous reconstruction of Xicheng District was considered a bold idea? Is it also very bold to say that they would catch Beiyuan people and come back to mine. But now Xicheng District is well built, and Beiyuan people have really caught a lot.

"Please say this, Your Highness."

"I want to send an elite force to quietly leave the city and lie outside in ambush."

"Your Highness wants to attack sneakily? This is probably unrealistic. The defense of Beiyuan people will definitely not be weak. If you come here, you will definitely be well prepared this time. Even if there are subsequent food and grass, it will be difficult for us to cut off this food and grass line." After Lin Tu heard Yang Yichuan's thoughts, he immediately guessed two possibilities. The first is sneak attack, and the second is naturally he has ideas about the food and grass of Beiyuan people?

"The Dingsha Army has confronted Beiyuan people again, and I'm afraid it won't help much, so Xihe City has to rely on ourselves. I think it's better for us to focus on defense and should not be too aggressive. Once Xihe City is lost, it means that the other cities in Xihe Prefecture will also face crises." Li Ru could accept it quickly in some aspects, but at this moment, he was very conservative, because not only Xihe City, but also this battle, but even Xihe Prefecture.

The hinterland was attacked but failed to stop it. Xihecheng was taken down by the Beiyuan people. The Beiyuan people could even regard Xihecheng as a temporary base, and then open up a line of defense to completely isolate Dingsha City on the border. Perhaps it was precisely because of the vulnerable Xihecheng last year that the Beiyuan people had the possibility of success in such a bold tactics.

"You first listen to me. I will send an elite cavalry of about a thousand people outside the city. Then, led by some people who are familiar with the terrain near Xihe City, use guerrilla tactics, that is, the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stands and disturbs us, the enemy is tired, and I will fight, and the enemy retreats and we will chase."

"What do you think of this tactic?"

Lin Tu and the Xiao family have both read military books and are familiar with tactics, but they have never heard of such tactics. But at first glance, it seems simple and easy to understand, but it may not be that simple to implement. To understand the essence of this tactic, one must judge what state the place is in, and strictly execute orders and have very rapid transfer methods.

"This tactic sounds good, but here it may not play a good role. I guess it can only harass at night. However, once the enemy strengthens its defense, it is probably impossible to even harass it. If the enemy is defeated and flees to the north, it can be used."

Yang Yichuan was also a little helpless. He originally wanted to install it, but found that it was not applicable at all.

"Well, that's right, let's not talk about this for now. I just want to say, is there no offensive means besides this defense? Or, hey, wait, I have another bold idea."

The four people looked at Yang Yichuan in surprise. There was no way. Who asked Yang Yichuan to be the prince? Who asked him to be the one who invited him to dinner? However, the guerrilla tactic that Yang Yichuan had mentioned before was still very useful in Lin Tu's opinion. This may not be used in the upcoming situation.

"Tell me, Your Highness."

Yang Yichuan calmly spoke out three words: "Dingsha Army."

Li Ru's patience was gone. He mentioned before that Dingsha Army had been trapped by the Beiyuan people and it was impossible for him to come to rescue him.

"Your Highness, don't joke. The situation in Dingsha City is not good now. Dingsha Army cannot go out lightly. Once there is a problem with Dingsha City, then the Dawei Dynasty has built a defense line for many years and will collapse completely."

"Your Highness wants the Dingsha army to cooperate and directly eliminate these troops that penetrated the hinterland of Xihe Prefecture and threatened Xihe City, right?"

"Yes. If the Dingsha Army sends 10,000 people, and at the right time, the Beiyuan people will definitely be defeated under the attack of the inside and outside." Yang Yichuan's thoughts were of course just ideas, so the idea was very beautiful.

"If the 10,000 Dingsha Army is at the right time, such as when the morale declines again after a long period of time, Lin Tu also had an idea, but it was not as good as Yang Yichuan and the other four.

"No, no, the Dingsha Army was short of staff. Now that we have sent 10,000 people to support us, how long can they hold it? Dingsha City will have the possibility of losing it." Li Ru jumped up immediately. Xihe City now has great hope of being able to defend it, which is enough. Li Ru felt that it was not worthwhile to take on the danger of the loss of Dingsha City and wipe out the 30,000 Beiyuan people.

"What if we quickly support Dingsha City after the 30,000 people were wiped out? 10,000 people came out, 15,000 people went back, and there were artillery, 20 artillery pieces would definitely be of great benefit to Dingsha City."

"I think with He Chu's ability, he would not be unable to defend Dingsha City if he had 10,000 people in ten days. Moreover, although this matter is risky, it can stabilize Xihe City. Xihe City has also greatly helped Dingsha City, and it can even change the current confrontation occupation." Lin Tu said again.

Now it is no longer like eating hot pot, but is discussing matters. Li Ru is just glaring at her beard, which may indeed bring about a good situation, but it is also very risky.

"I'd better ask General He about this first. If General He agrees, then do it like this. If General He doesn't agree, I think you have no other way, so let's guard Xihe City."

Yang Yichuan was relieved when he saw Li Ru compromise, "Come on, come on, continue to eat hot pot. In a short while, you will be able to experience the real fun of eating hot pot."
