Chapter 247
"Is this true?!"

"On behalf of Ye Jiajun, I guarantee Commander Chen."

Chen Yuntao was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, then follow what Major General Ye said. It's just that the commander has a request."

"Commander Chen said it's okay."

"I want to make the words of Major General Ye public in front of the army before the battle, and I hope Major General Ye will understand!"

Chen Yuntao, who is well versed in the art of war and cunning, understands that the promises made on the battlefield cannot be completely counted. He cannot bear the consequences of Ye Zhaoyan's back-and-forth, so he made a bad plan.

Ye Zhaoyan was not annoyed when he heard the words: "But Commander Chen makes the decision."

After a stick of incense, more than a dozen generals in armor gathered in the tent of the Nanzhao Army.

Chen Yuntao described Ye Zhaoyan's plan, and finally concluded: "If this battle is won, it will not only eliminate the crisis in Hebei County, but also deter the countries that are eyeing them. This will be of great benefit to the consolidation of our Nanzhao Kingdom. Therefore, This Commander thinks it’s worth a try.”

Many soldiers heard this and praised the move with enthusiasm.

Chen Yuntao frowned, and his mind was tumbling.

Ye Zhaoyan's so-called deterrence is just a simple intimidation, not a real way to prevent future troubles!
If Beiliang really had that wolfish ambition, sooner or later he would set foot on the border of Nanzhao again.

It's just that the situation is urgent, and the monarch's appointment does not allow him to think about the long-term, so he has to choose the best way at the moment-cooperate with the Ye family army for the time being.

At this time, a general said: "Commander Chen, is it a little risky to send troops this time? In case of defeat, wouldn't the Nanzhao Kingdom be humiliated?"

The power of the Nanzhao Kingdom is not strong, and it has never had any enmity with other countries, because of the dignity that the monarch cares about most.

As the sixth largest country, how can it maintain its honor if it is easily slapped in the face?
Another general echoed: "Yes, our Nanzhao Kingdom has always valued peace and has never failed. If something happens, how can we save face?"

On the one hand, these generals appreciated the strategy provided by Ye Zhaoyan, on the other hand, they were worried that if something went wrong, it would anger the Nanzhao monarch.

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoyan sipped his tea lightly, glanced at the generals, shook his head and sighed, "Everyone, now we are at the critical moment of life and death, and it is fleeting, so how can we hesitate? The army of the Northern Liang Kingdom is overwhelming, no matter whether it is losing the city Retreat, or be beaten away, Nanzhao Kingdom will lose all face. Rather than being so useless, it is better to repel the powerful enemy with me, Tianlu!"

When the generals heard the words, they were angry and angry at the same time. The words of the major general of the Ye family army were too piercing, and he didn't save any face.

There was a stalemate in the big tent.

Chen Yuntao then waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, officers and men. Although our army is not as good as Beiliang's elite, it is not weak. In addition, the Ye family army is brave and good at fighting. If you can't even take care of a mere Beiliang, then you are not qualified. It is known as the sixth largest country in the Jin Dynasty. Besides, our Nanzhao Kingdom will never allow Beiliang to trample on our country's dignity!"

"Commander Chen's words are justified, and the last general thinks it's worth a try." The young general beside Chen Yuntao stepped forward and cupped his hands. He was new to the battlefield and believed in the tactics of rushing forward. look good.

Hearing the words, another soldier stood up and echoed: "The last general agrees! Our Nanzhao men are all brave men, how can we fear the enemy and fight cowardly!"

After a long while, the army finally reached an agreement. Ye Zhaoyan led the troops to escort Chuli to attack first, and Chen Yuntao led the troops to attack the Beiliang army together.

Two hours later, the two armies finally met in the valley.

The Beiliang army lined up in a dense formation, with swords and guns everywhere, ready to go.

Sitting on horseback with a bronze sword at his waist, Chen Yuntao looked at the black army in the distance with an extremely dignified expression.

Ye Zhaoyan was wearing a silver-white armor, and he was heroic. He led the three thousand Ye family troops towards the Beiliang army. He was soon discovered by the Beiliang sentry who was ambushing on the city wall, and immediately blew the horn, disturbing the marching army. Beiliang army.

The two armies confronted each other, and the banners were unfurled, and the two sides immediately fought fiercely.

Ye Zhaoyan rode a horse at the front of the team, his body was as strong as a dragon, and his long sword was like a swimming dragon. He was fast and powerful, and there was no enemy in his path. He was decisive and fierce.

Ye Zhengping was waving his long spear not far away. Every time he stabbed, several Beiliang soldiers fell down, and the corpses were scattered all over the field, filled with blood.

Under the brave attack of the two, the morale of the Ye family army soared, and they fought the enemy bravely one after another, showing their usual true colors.

Chen Yuntao commanded the battle from the rear. Seeing that the Ye family's army was fighting well, even in the face of the Beiliang iron cavalry, they did not lose the wind at all, and gradually relaxed.

In any case, this major general Ye is indeed a titan.

He originally thought that this person was only superior in martial arts, but he did not expect to be so brave and good at fighting.

No wonder this man was able to sit in such a position at such a young age, such courage and courage, he really couldn't catch up with flattery.

Because the Ye family's army was well trained and their generals commanded well, for a while Beiliang couldn't do anything to Ye's family's army.

The Beiliang army, which is known for its ferocity, has a characteristic. Once it charges into the battle, it is often full of energy and momentum, but if it cannot be attacked for a long time, it will be discouraged and gradually fall into a disadvantage.

After two sticks of incense, the vanguard of the Beiliang army was obviously damaged, and the casualties were not small.

Even so, the huge number of Beiliang troops behind them is still a huge threat.

All of this was seen by Ye Zhaoyan, and she had discussed the countermeasures with Ye Zhengping long before arriving in Hexinan County.

Before leaving last night, she also brought the kit bag that Marven Ye had prepared for her.

That was the countermeasure she summed up from the military book by herself, and it was modified into a better method after Ye Wenxuan's careful research.

The Ye family's army took the advantage of quick and decisive onslaughts, facing the extremely brutal Beiliang army in a short period of time, it was tantamount to head-to-head, and they could not completely take advantage of it.

Therefore, Ye Zhaoyan ordered the Ye family's army to start a fierce attack to motivate the Beiliang army to use all their strength. When the opponent entered the state, the Ye family's army pretended to attack, and pretended to be weak while defending, so as to consume the opponent's fighting spirit.At the same time, the whole army retreated slowly at an unobtrusive speed, allowing the vanguard of Beiliang to gradually enter the range of the Ye family's army.

Just as the Ye family's army became more and more courageous in the battle, and the second batch of Beiliang troops entered the battle, Ye Zhengping and several lieutenants led [-] elite soldiers ambushing in the surrounding dense forest and slowly approached the battlefield, forming a siege.

The generals of the Beiliang army had already realized that something was wrong, but they were so numerous, there were more than [-] people, and they were not afraid of the Ye family army, which was only [-] in front of them, and the more than [-] Nanzhao army who were cowering behind them.

If it is head-to-head, they will win.

As the army led by Ye Zhengping formed a tight formation, enveloping the battlefield, a loud and sharp horn sounded from a distance—"Woo——"

The sound of the horn suddenly stopped, and the horseshoes flew in the distance, billowing smoke and dust, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
