Unlike Mu Xianliang's optimism, General Li Yan looked at the information in front of him and naturally knew that this guy had two tricks.

Ruan Zhixiong grew up in the army since he was a child. This guy's uncle was once a former general of Annan Kingdom.

Although Ruan Zhixiong is just an ordinary general now and cannot be considered a top-ranked person in the military, he is the well-deserved first among the young generals in Annan.

In terms of attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, this guy is also one of the few hardliners. He believes that he should not pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Although I can get a lot of gains when I go to the capital to congratulate you, this guy thinks that his country has lost face, especially in the face of these harmful people, without dignity.

Some time ago, when the Ming Dynasty was in chaos, this guy even reported to the Annan court, hoping to bring an army into the three southwestern provinces.

Perhaps it could achieve unexpected results. If this proposal had been judged as a traitor in the past, it would have been judged as a traitor, but Annan Kingdom did not respond at all. Although they did not send troops, they were clear in their hearts.

It was from that time that Guo Guo Duke Mu Tianbo became nervous. Even if he killed himself in the inland, he did not send a large number of troops to participate. After all, Yunnan is his nest.

When His Royal Highness entered Nanjing, this guy breathed a sigh of relief. When this guy went to Nanjing, he also ordered the border troops to be on guard against Ruan Zhixiong.

"Don't underestimate this guy. You can see from his formation that this guy can see that our weaknesses are different from other young and powerful officers at a glance. Those people want to come up and take us a blow, at least take back a few cities, which can be considered as giving an explanation to their court. But this guy looks at it for a long time. The people who are most afraid of on the battlefield are not those reckless people, but those people can only be called powerful generals. The ones who are most afraid of should be such wise people, and these people have the talent of generals."

Mu Xianliang never expected that General Li Yan would not praise others much in normal times. Even many more powerful generals in China did not give such an evaluation. Instead, Ruan Zhixiong, who was unknown in the Ming Dynasty, received such a high evaluation.

There is a reason why Li Yan has such a high evaluation of this person. According to the current situation of the war, he can also rationally analyze the situation in the northern part of Annan Kingdom. This is already quite good. In theory, the territory in the north has been occupied so much, and the voices of opposing the Ming Dynasty in China are getting higher and higher.

As a young general, this guy should first launch an attack, but after this guy came, he stayed honestly and did not make any other moves except to build many copycats.

It seems that I want to spend time with the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of many people in Annan, this guy is really not very good at saving the occupied people.

But in General Li Yan's view, this is the most correct response plan.

If we attack rashly, we will fall into General Li Yan's trap. In less than half a month, our 100,000 troops will definitely lose half of them. We will have nothing to be afraid of when we march south.

"Can you tell me about the strategy of the general's small-scale combat?"

Mu Xianliang said a little dissatisfied that as a young general within the Ming Dynasty, he did not receive such evaluation as General Li Yan, so he was unwilling to continue talking about this topic.

He wanted to see General Li Yan's response. All regions have their own small army combat methods, but the terrain in the northern part of Annan Kingdom was complex.

So he was also unsure of how to fight here. Thinking that General Li Yan had handed him over, he also took the army out to try it out and teach this highly praised General Annan.

"I'm not convinced?"

Although General Li Yan didn't say this on purpose before, he also had a little thought, just to make Mu Xianliang feel dissatisfied and all the generals under him dissatisfied.

Only in this way can we hold up a lot of energy and work hard on the Annan Army. If we carry the original arrogance and the current complex terrain environment, we might not be able to win the first battle, and everyone will not look good at that time.

"I don't dare."

Hearing Mu Xianliang's answer, General Li Yan smiled on his face? Let's continue talking about this topic. After all, his goal has been achieved. The next step is to tell them how to lead troops to fight, which is the most important thing.

"From tomorrow, all the troops will be dispersed, and at most two hundred people form a team. The number must not be too large, and all of them will abandon the war horses."

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there have always been more infantry than cavalry. Later, the Ming Dynasty court granted it, especially after occupying the northern grasslands, the number of war horses in the army began to increase.

Whether fighting inland or in Fusang and Goryeo, even the infantry had their own war horses. Now General Li Yan wanted them to abandon the war horses, Mu Xianliang's face was a little unclear.

"General, many of our soldiers are adapted to fighting on horseback, and will they react faster? On the enemy's land, if something cannot be solved, the surrounding army can also ride war horses and support quickly. If the war horses are abandoned, wouldn't it be equivalent to abandoning our strengths? As far as we know, the number of war horses in Annan Kingdom is pitiful."

Mu Xianliang was a little confused. If he hadn't learned about General Li Yan's history, he would have thought that this guy was probably a spy sent by the other party, throwing away our strengths and fighting against the other party with his legs. Isn't this a problem with his head?

"You just need to remember four words, mountain combat."

General Li Yan did not explain anything else. These four words can explain everything. Riding a horse on the flat ground can certainly be like a tiger, but if it is a mountain war, the goal of the war horse is too large and it is not as flexible as that of a human being.

This has been verified in previous operations, so it is correct to abandon the war horse and lean on its legs. In the mountains and forests, soldiers carry fewer supplies, and their own food and drink are a problem. How can they carry the war horses consume?

Lightweight and simple, this is the essence of mountain combat, and Mu Xianliang's eyes began to brighten up.
