Jin Xuan's words made everyone present stunned, including Chu Mu.
"My young prince, you said that there is a strong army in the capital. Is this true? Why don't we know that the black-armored army is responsible for guarding the capital? Who else can replace us?"
Han Feilong is an impatient person and says whatever he thinks.
"Haha...Uncle Han, the capital defense army may not be as good as the black armored army, but it is more than enough to defend the capital!"
Jin Xuan paused for a moment and then continued: "Everyone must know that I was framed and imprisoned before, and was accused of surrendering to the enemy and betraying my country. By chance, the country I surrendered to was Beiyan. Don't you find it strange that everything is related to Beiyan? As for Mr. Tie, the Marshal, Brother Shao Ying, and I are quite familiar with him. He colluded with a high-ranking official in the capital to frame me.As for who it is, even if I don’t say it, you all should know it, so that day when I learned that Beiyan had formed an alliance with Nanliang to invade Yanmen Pass, I felt that something was wrong. Out of caution, I reported to the emperor that General Deng Jiuxiong’s 100,000 Zhenxi Army secretly fell into the capital and lurked in the capital disguised as ordinary people, in order to prevent Beiyan from attacking Huanglong. It seems that my original guess was right!"
It turns out that this is the case. Although it is still uncertain whether what Jin Xuan said is true or false, it makes people feel relieved.
"Young prince, are you serious about this?"
"Haha...Uncle Han, have I lied to you? Besides, it is about the emperor's life. How dare I joke about it, so everyone can rest assured that nothing will happen to the capital, and the emperor will be fine. Our top priority right now is to give the Yanliang coalition a head-on blow. Not giving them a chance to fight again will not leave us any room to retreat. It can be said to be a last-ditch battle. Generals, can you dare to risk your life to fight!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
For a time, the atmosphere in the camp was ignited, and those who advocated holding on began to hesitate.
Jin Xuan looked at Chu Mu. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the army. Even if you have one hundred and eighty bends, it will be in vain if Chu Mu doesn't nod.
"Jin Xuan, just say what you have to say. I am old and my brain is not as sharp as yours. If what you say makes sense, then I will support it unconditionally!"
With these words, Jin Xuan finally expressed his ideas and thoughts for the past few days.
"In recent days, our army has been arguing over whether to attack or defend. Of course, whether it is to attack or to defend, there are reasons. Here I want to say something to those generals who advocate defense. We have two advantages and one disadvantage in the main attack. There is no advantage at all in the main defense."
"Let's talk about the main defense first. At present, our army only has 50,000 troops left, while the enemy has at least 100,000. We may not be able to hold on if we hold on. But think about it, even if we hold on to what is left, it is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated. You and I will not be spared. The people in the counties and towns of Yanmen Pass will suffer at that time, and the name of our Black Armored Army will no longer exist. This is the result of holding on."
What Jin Xuan said makes sense, but sometimes it is difficult to change a person's mind. One of the elderly veterans stood up, clasped his fists and asked: "Little Prince, you said that defending will do no good, so what are the two benefits and one harm of taking the initiative to attack?"
"Haha... The old general asked a good question. The so-called "two advantages and one disadvantage" is the unequal strength of the enemy and our troops that I just mentioned, while the two advantages refer to sneak attacks and speed."
"Please give me details, young prince."
"First of all, let's talk about the sneak attack. The Beiyan Army directly hit Anyang. This was something we didn't expect. Of course, the coalition forces would also think that we didn't expect it. In their eyes, we were hurriedly retreating and returning to Beijing to capture the king. So after dawn, Yanmen Pass will be an empty city. They can easily occupy it. Based on the above factors, the coalition defense will definitely be relaxed tonight, and our army's surprise attack will definitely win a complete victory."
"Let's talk about this quick word again. This battle must not be delayed. Don't think about capturing the enemy's general. Focus on annihilating the enemy and annihilating the enemy's effective strength in large numbers. The so-called clever woman can't make a meal without rice. No matter how cunning Meng Liang and Yin Duokui are, they can't make any splash if they don't have soldiers. On the contrary, once the battle lasts, the previous advantage will be gone. Do you understand?"
Jin Xuan elaborated, and the old general who asked the question nodded repeatedly.
