Chapter 421: Fierce Battle of Attack and Defense (Part II)

The word "stick" kills people, and when it comes to "defending", it means to shrink in the city, stupidly waiting for others to attack, stupidly playing with the enemy at the head of the city, and finally being killed by the enemy stupidly, before he died, he felt that he had died very tall and majestic, and never thought about it, if the general defending the city could come up with a way to avoid or reduce casualties, would he not have to die?

Fortunately, Li Su is not so stupid.

The meaning of "defending" is not only passive defense, "defending" is the goal, not the process, the city does not lose the purpose of "defending", as for the process, you can bring forth the new, the initiative is in your own hands, let the enemy be led by your own nose, is the royal road of war.

Jiang Quan is a good general, not only has high personal strength, but he is also an expert in training soldiers and horses, and more importantly, he has received a thorough brainwashing education in the Right Armed Guard Forbidden Army, so he has a red and dedicated heart, for His Majesty, he is willing to do anything, even if he pays his life, it is also supremely glorious.

To be honest, if it weren't for the lack of people around Li Su, he really wanted to fool him into tying up a thunderstorm all over his body, tying a strip of red cloth on his head, launching a suicide attack on the enemy camp, and if he was lucky enough to blow up the enemy's commander, this war might be over.

"Change tactics? How to change? Jiang Quan scratched his head.

Li Su retracted his literary gaze looking up at the starry sky, coughed twice, and said, "Look, we only have about 4,000 defenders left in the city now, right?" Both sides are tired during the day and sleep at night, right? ”

Li Su said a word, Jiang Quan nodded, and the picture was full of a teachable sense of harmony.

Li Su continued: "If you want to grasp the initiative in the offensive and defensive battle, then, you can't be led by the enemy, why do they eat and drink enough and sleep enough, and attack the city whenever they want?" Why didn't they discuss the time with us? Say it's going to start? I don't know what you think, but I have a sense of humiliation that I don't respect people......"

Jiang Quan: "............"

"So, what we have to do now is to take the initiative back and let us take control! In the future, we will play when we say we will fight, and we will rest when we should rest. If they want to fight or rest, they have to look at our faces first. In the dark night, a spark in Li Su's eyes flashed and disappeared.

"Don't drive Li, you better say it directly, how to do it."

Li Su pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Tonight, you will lead a thousand soldiers out of the city quietly from the east gate, and after half a circle around the city, you will launch a surprise attack on the enemy camp. Remember, bring some more earth-shattering thunder, don't worry about anything, and light it and throw it hard in the direction of their camp......"

Jiang Quan was taken aback: "Attack the camp? This...... Li Beijia, the last general took a closer look, the enemy camp was very stable, and the main general was obviously good at managing the army, not incompetent. At night, the light and dark sentinels of the camp were released three miles away, and we attacked the camp with a thousand people. I'm afraid I won't be able to get close to the edge of the enemy camp......"

Li Su sighed and said, "Who told you to rush into the enemy camp?" Isn't that death? I'm just asking you to go around the camp, wake them all up, and teach them what it means to 'smell the chickens and dance'. Ignited and threw in the direction of the enemy camp, as far as it could be thrown. Boom, hehe, everyone has insomnia......"

Jiang Quan was not stupid in the end, he immediately understood what Li Su meant, and slapped his thigh excitedly. Said: "It turned out to be a strategy to exhaust the enemy!" Good idea! ”

Li Su shook his head: "It is a strategy to fatigue the enemy, and it is also a strategy to suspect the enemy." ”

"What is a 'suspicious enemy'?"

"You lead a thousand men, and every half an hour or an hour, you throw a few earth-shattering thunderbolts at the enemy camp, repeating them three or four times a night, and only hearing movement, but no actual action, I ask you, if you were the chief general of the enemy army and the soldiers under his command, what would you think?"

Jiang Quan squinted his eyes and smiled unkindly: "If I am an enemy soldier, after repeatedly experiencing three or four major movements in one night but not making any moves, I will inevitably slack off in my heart, thinking that the other party is just a trick of the enemy......"

Li Su nodded and said: "Yes, so after making three or four movements, the enemy army gradually relaxed its vigilance and neglected to take precautions, you might as well lead the soldiers to come to a real time, the enemy camp is entrenched in the western desert, you lead the soldiers to take a long detour, from the side to the rear of the enemy camp, I here at the head of the city to attract the attention of the enemy camp with gongs and drums, you launch a fierce attack in the rear, and the attack does not need to be killed into the camp, just throw hundreds of earth-shattering thunder into their camp tent, and run away after throwing it, and hurry back to the city ......"

Jiang Quan was overjoyed after hearing this, and nodded again and again.

Li Su said with a smile: "Leading the troops to fight, in fact, I am a layman, General Jiang is the real general, although these foreign barbarians are good at governing the army, but they do not necessarily understand the art of war that has been handed down for thousands of years in our Central Plains, and they may not understand the art of war, but you know." ”

Jiang Quan clenched his fists in a happy heart, and sighed sincerely: "No wonder Li Beijia can be famous in Chang'an at the age of his youth, don't drive the world's talent, both civil and military, and there is really no vanity under the fame, and the end will admire." ”

Li Su hadn't heard the compliment for a long time, and couldn't help but smile happily when he heard the words, but it was a pity that Jiang Quan's praise was too short, which made him quite regretful, and he was silent for a long time, seeing that Jiang Quan had no follow-up after praising these few sentences, Li Su sighed in disappointment, and couldn't help but help him supplement and improve: "...... And he's also very handsome, this, you just forgot to mention. ”

Jiang Quan: "............"

"Fame is all fame, fame, don't mention it, but being handsome is real, you can see it and touch it, and you can't help but feel joy when you see it......"

"Don't drive, don't drive ...... Li" Jiang Quan had to interrupt Li Su's skinless and faceless self-boasting, and said profusely: "Don't drive, the ion time is not far away, and the last general will go to mobilize troops and horses and prepare to go out of the city." ”

"Ahh......h Okay, go ahead, take care, and remember, don't trespass into the enemy camp, just go around the camp and harass. ”

"Yes."

***************************************************************

This day is not destined to be peaceful.

It's not quiet during the day, and it's not quiet at night.

Li Su is fed up with the stubbornness of being beaten passively, so he wants to change. The so-called "positive" is the frontal offensive and defensive battle during the day, and the "strange" one is the strategy of attacking and harassing the enemy camp at night and tired the enemy and suspecting the enemy.

When the night was getting thicker, I couldn't see my fingers.

Jiang Quan gathered a thousand cavalry troops, horses wrapped in hooves, and people were ranked, and the city gate to the east quietly opened a line.

Fortunately, the enemy's main general seems to know a little bit of the art of war, and actually knows the siege method of "encircling three queyi", and the 30,000 army will surround the north, south and west, but let go of the east, and only send some Changsan soldiers and scouts to closely monitor the east, obviously the enemy will only want the city of Xizhou, not the maximum annihilation of the Tang army.

The so-called "encirclement of three que", is to surround the three sides of the city, let go of one side, let the enemy retreat out of the city, if the enemy will have the mind of total annihilation, then that side of the "que" place will inevitably ambush the heavy troops, just wait for the defenders to withdraw from the city, find a good feng shui place to destroy them all, if the enemy will have scruples, or just want to achieve the strategic purpose of occupying the city, then let go of the side is the way of escape of the real child, let the defenders escape. Ten thousand methods are wonderful, and there is one mind.

This approach is actually reasonable, although the Western Turks and the small countries of the Western Regions brazenly sent troops to attack Xizhou, but they still have some scruples about the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and the practice of encircling three queyi on the one hand leaves a way to retreat and weakens the will of the defenders to defend the city to the death, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a donkey on the slope, hoping that the Tang army will retreat eastward, and the Tang army will have fewer casualties, and they will also have room to turn around in the future after Li Shimin eases up.

War has always been a continuation of politics.

The thousand-man cavalry went out of the east city gate, silently sneaking in the night, the vast desert, the vastness, it was not difficult to avoid the patrolling enemy scouts and scattered troops, Jiang Quan led the cavalry from the east to go around ten miles away, and then turned around and marched to the enemy camp, galloping all the way.

The night wind whistled by, cold as water, Jiang Quan was dressed in iron armor, facing the night wind, riding on the horse couldn't help but shiver, looking back at the farther and farther Xizhou City, the top of the arrow tower of the city, through the faint white light of the crescent moon, a dragon flag symbolizing the Tang Dynasty was firmly inserted on the top of the arrow tower, stubbornly and unyieldingly waving in the wind.

Jiang Quan's heart was hot, and when he turned his head to look at the enemy camp again, his face was already full of murderous intent.
