Chapter 448: If you can’t win, please accept Chen Changan’s head
Yan Qing and the others remained silent. Although Chu Xinghe's words were unpleasant to the ear, she had been fighting against the Xixia people for many years and knew well how brave and good at fighting they were.
The Xixia cavalry galloped across the country, leaving behind a terrifying reputation wherever they passed.
Not to mention Chen Changan who had never experienced the baptism of war, even the many generals who had experienced hundreds of battles could not help but feel a little fearful when facing the fearless charge of the Xixia people.
After all, the Xixia people grew up on horseback and lived by following water and grass. The harsh living environment shaped their strong and tough character, as well as their superb riding and archery skills.
In past confrontations, they often attacked the defense line with swiftness, and their bravery frightened many people.
This time, what everyone is about to face may be a more severe test.
"I can't take this responsibility, and I don't think anyone can say they can take it."
Chen Changan shook his head and said, "However, one is passive defense, and the other is active attack. Active attack will seize the initiative on the battlefield, so I think it is better to defend at the beacon tower."
"If the beacon tower is captured by the enemy, we still have a second line of defense, Jiaohe Ancient City."
"It will also be good for the army. I will fight in the front so that you can better grasp the movements of Xixia and see if they have become stronger. It will also help you accumulate experience for future battles."
"What do you think?"
Yan Qing remained silent. Li Wuling took a deep breath and said, "Chang'an, once the battle begins, it will be serious. We must consider the whole situation. What do you think?"
Chen Changan had already made up his mind, and shook his head and said, "I will explain it in detail from three aspects."
"The first one is to fight the enemy at the beacon tower. We need to make good use of the artillery brought by the Westerners and the guns brought by me, the young man. This should be enough to scare the enemy off."
"The purpose of this battle is to help Da Chu regain its confidence. There is nothing much to say."
"The second battle will be held in Jiaohe Ancient City. The main purpose of this battle is to destroy the manpower of Xixia. They claim to have an army of only 600,000. We will nibble away at them bit by bit."
"The third game is the key to the entire plan."
Chen Changan slid his finger down and pointed at a pass: "Give up the four border cities and garrison...Yanmen Pass!"
"Asshole!" Chu Xinghe said unhappily, "Yanmen Pass is our last pass. We have given up one-third of our territory. Once we break through Yanmen Pass, we can march straight in. By then, the Imperial Capital will be undefended!"
"Chen Changan, do you know how to fight? If not, then shut up!"
"The Great Chu will not give up an inch of territory!"
"Your brains are really not working, calm down." Chen Changan shook his head and said.
"If we win the first two battles, the Xixia people will be eager to take revenge on us. We should avoid them at this time."
"Fight and retreat, and give the city to them."
"If we give it to them, their battle line will inevitably be stretched out, and there will be problems with logistics supply. Then we can attack, and the victory or defeat will be mixed."
The old general nodded, and Chen Changan continued, "If we defend these cities, we will be surrounded. It will be difficult to send logistics supplies. How can we win?"
“The battle is not about the gains and losses of a city or a place, but about looking at the overall situation.”
The old general looked at Yan Qing, and Chen Yuwei suddenly spoke: "It's easy for you to say that. Without saying anything else, how can you guarantee that you can win the first two battles?"
"If you lose, Xixia's war horses will flatten the four border cities!"
"I will definitely win." **An smiled: "Because I prepared a lot of explosives."
"Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!"
Yan Qing and the old general both gasped involuntarily!
His face was full of shock!
They never thought that Chen Changan had such a bold plan!
He actually wanted to go out alone to act as bait, using himself as a lure to lure those ferocious enemies into this beacon tower!
The moment the enemy swarms in, resolutely ignite the explosives that have been placed in advance!
The loud explosion would certainly blow the enemy to pieces, but Chen Changan would surely disappear forever in the flames and smoke!
Yan Qing's hands were trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of pity!
She opened her mouth, as if wanting to say something to dissuade him, but she didn't know where to start.
The old general's brows were furrowed, the muscles on his weathered face were trembling, and his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"no……"
"No problem." Yan Qing wanted to dissuade him, but Chen Changan shook his head and said, "First of all, the first line of defense are all reckless young men. They are my hard work, and only my orders will they obey completely."
"Secondly, let the Chu army watch carefully. Even the young man is not afraid. Will they feel ashamed?"
"Finally, releasing the explosives... I didn't say when I was there."
Chen Changan shrugged and said, "I still have children and my wife, how could I die?"
Yan Qing still shook her head, but Chu Xinghe laughed out loud.
Because Chen Changan's plan sounded very mysterious. Even if he could escape unscathed, the beacon tower was still some distance away from the city, and Ma Yong could not outrun the Xixia war horses. How could he survive?
It would be good if Chen Changan died, at least my sister could get some relief.
"Miss Yan, since the prince consort has gone to war, I think you should follow his wishes."
Chu Xinghe did not refuse, but chose to support: "I think it is more beneficial than harmful for the Prince Consort to complete the first battle. Even the Prince Consort can sacrifice his life, so how can others not be loyal to him?"
"Also, this move by the Prince Consort will surely earn him great respect from the soldiers. If he wins, he will eventually become the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"
"Honestly, even I have to surrender!"
Chen Changan just smiled. He didn’t care whether Chu Xinghe surrendered or not. The key was that he had to fight this battle.
Yue Shan and Liu Baizhong were also in the camp. Seeing that the old general was still hesitant, Yue Shan stepped out and said, "Miss Yan, the Prince Consort has the trust of my right-wing army. How can he risk his life?"
"Let me go ahead and kill the bandits on behalf of the Prince Consort!"
Liu Baizhong shook his head and said, "Miss Yan, I have fought in wars all my life, and I can only kill the enemy from a distance! This time, let us fight the enemy with real guns and swords!"
The two people are sincere and they are willing to join the game even though they know it is a dead end.
Chen Changan felt very proud, but he still shook his head and said, "Two big brothers, don't worry. Didn't I assign you many tasks in Jiaohe Ancient City? Completing them is related to the victory of our second battle."
"Master Chen..."
"My Lord..."
**An waved his hand and stopped the two from continuing.
Seeing Chen Changan's resolute expression, Li Wuling also thought about it seriously: "I have understood what Chen Changan meant. Now you go down and I will think about it for two hours."
"Chen Changan, the first battle is crucial. If I had listened to you..."
"If you don't win, please accept Chen Changan's head!"
Chen Changan took a deep breath and spoke loudly.
