Chapter 188: If you can't attack by force, then outwit it

"More than 3,900 people were killed and more than 700 were seriously wounded...... Fifty-five people were slightly injured! Dou Jiande was slightly surprised, in his understanding, the number of casualties in the war should be far lower than the number of light and serious wounded, however, the situation at this time is the opposite, the number of casualties is far greater than the number of light and serious wounded.

Dou Jiande stared at Ling Jing and said, "Are you sure this number is correct?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister will personally verify it before sending it to the Imperial Palace!" Ling Jing stepped forward and explained to Dou Jiande: "Under the knife of these Tang Army, there are no wounded, and they are killed by the knife, and these surviving light and serious wounded are basically caused by the surprise attack of their cavalry!" ”

Dou Jiande couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and the scene of Mo Dao waving and flesh flying in his head unconsciously appeared in his head at this time. Dou Jiande looked at the king's tent, there was no shadow of Liu Jintang, and asked curiously, "Where is Liu Jintang?" ”

Fan Yuan bowed down and said: "General Liu knows that his army has been defeated and humiliated by the country, and he is ashamed of his trust in His Majesty, so he kneels outside the tent and asks for punishment!" ”

Dou Jiande sighed and said: "This is a crime, let Liu Jintang come in!" ”

Dou Jiande is Dou Jiande, and Li Yuan is Li Yuan, as early as the defeat of Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, no matter what the situation is, what the reason is, Li Yuan lost 100,000 yuan, he needs to find someone to come out and carry this black cauldron. But Dou Jiande doesn't need it, he is more like a bright and upright hero, daring to face the consequences of the fiasco directly.

After a while, Liu Jintang was bare-chested, carrying a thorn on his back, and moved to the big tent step by step with his knees. When Liu Jintang moved to the big tent, his knees were already bloody and bloody, and the blood soaked his trouser legs. Seeing Dou Jiande, Liu Jintang cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Jintang is guilty......"

Dou Jiande sighed and looked into the distance.

Liu Jintang lowered his head and looked at Ling Jing with his eyes, only to see Ling Jing's gaze and Liu Jintang's gaze touching in the air, Ling Jing gave Liu Jintang a "and don't be impatient" look, Liu Jintang immediately understood, he had passed this level.

Dou Jiande looked into the distance for a long time, and slowly turned back and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, if you live, you can be ashamed, and avenge today's revenge, if you die, then it is the relatives who are happy to be enemies." ”

Liu Jintang howled and cried: "Your Majesty, if Jintang doesn't avenge this revenge and swears not to be a human being, how can I not avenge the blood feud of my five thousand townships in Hebei!" ”

"You all discussed, how should Chen Ying's Mo Dao Formation be broken?" Dou Jiande's gaze suddenly became sharp, as if the substantive gaze slowly swept over Fan Yuan, Cao Zhan, Gao Yaxian, Wang Xiaohu and other generals.

It's not that everyone hasn't seen the power of the Mo knife, if they haven't seen the power of the Mo knife before, they still have the confidence to fight with Chen Ying, but they really don't know how to deal with the enemy who can't fight back when they are beaten.

Fan Yuan, Cao Zhan, Gao Yaxian, and Wang Xiaohu lowered their heads and were silent.

Dou Jiande's heart sank, and his eyes finally fell on Wang Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, you say ......"

Wang Xiaohu himself is just a reckless, and it is obviously difficult for him to give advice. After a long time, Wang Xiaohu didn't say a single reason.

At this time, Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to look at Fan Yuan for help. Fan Yuan and Wang Xiaohu are sons and daughters, and the relationship is irreversible, seeing Wang Xiaohu suffocating, Fan Yuan had no choice but to bow down and say: "Your Majesty's brother has an idea!" ”

"What?" Dou Jiande was overjoyed when he heard this.

Fan Yuan pinched his beard and muttered: "When my brother and His Majesty went east to Goguryeo, I vaguely remember that Goguryeo used swords to expel tens of thousands of people in Buyeo, Changli, and Liaodong, and hit the Great Sui army array!" ”

Hearing this, Dou Jiande's face changed suddenly. He really participated in this battle, at that time, when Wei Xuanwei Wensheng's department forcibly passed the Luan River, the Goguryeo Great Commander Lu Yizhi Wende led the army to drive tens of thousands of people in a nearby radius of hundreds of miles to be cannon fodder, forcing them to step forward to make meat paste under the Sui saber.

This move is extremely vicious, Wei Wensheng's department is rushing to cross the river, the maneuver is narrow, it is naturally impossible to open a lineup to accept them, the Goguryeo army takes the living as the vanguard, and the Sui army loses arrows if it shoots arrows, even if it is cut with a knife and axe, it is easy to dull the knife and axe for a long time, and the second is to kill the people, even if you know that you are forced, it is easy to feel tired and guilty after killing for a long time, and the morale is therefore low.

As a result, Wei Wensheng's troops were defeated and had to retreat ten miles and give up crossing the river.

This kind of tactic, Dou Jiande is not unexpected, but even if he understands it, he can't bear to use it.

Seeing Dou Jiande hesitate, Fan Yuan only smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the two armies are facing each other, and you must know how to adapt to the times......

Dou Jiande said coldly: "This time I am fighting for the hearts of the people in the Central Plains and the world, if I can't break the enemy head-on,

That's a great shame in the heart! Fan Yuan, you are confused this time! ”

Fan Yuan opened his mouth, sighed, and stopped talking.

The entire Dou Jiande's big tent fell into a dead silence.

Dou Jiande looked at Ling Jing again: "Ling Jing? ”

Ling Jing said: "There must be a way!" ”

Dou Jiande said: "What way? ”

Ling Jing said: "The minister is still thinking!" ”

Dou Jiande was disappointed in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Everyone is scattered!" ”

……

Just as Dou Jiande was discussing how to break through Chen Ying's Mo Dao Formation, Wang Shichong in Luoyang City was also discussing with his henchmen how to repel Li Shimin.

To say that Wang Shichong is really not afraid of Li Shimin at this time, he is the emperor immediately, he has been fighting for many years, and he is well versed in the art of war, not to mention that Li Shimin suffered a big loss in the Battle of Longmen, if Chen Ying hadn't suddenly killed and rescued Li Shimin, Li Shimin at this time was either captured or killed.

Wang Shichong did not talk about the army on paper, but took his nephew Wang Renze, his brother Wang Shiyun and a group of generals out of the city to inspect the Tang army camp in the north. Arrived at the place where the Beipi camp was a stone's throw away, but saw that the Beipi camp was lined up around the Beipi Heights, where to erect flags, where to erect barriers, where to set up formations, where to go down, it seemed to be sparse and sparse and there was no law, but in fact, it could be attacked and retreated, and it was not comparable to the soldiers and horses seen before.

Wang Shiyun said: "This Li Shimin is not simple! Li Yuan has a son like this, no wonder these years can be across the Guanxi to destroy Xue Ju, defeat Li Rail, swallow Bashu, occupy Hedong, these soldiers and horses are not simple, if it is really hard, even if we can win, the loss will not be small......"

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "There should be capable people under Li Shimin's hands." It is not advisable to storm the barracks, so cut off their food routes first. Force them to comply. ”

Wang Ren said, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Wang Shichong said: "Divide your 30,000 Heluo new army and take Hangu Pass, are you sure?" ”

The current situation is different from when Li Shimin sent troops. At that time, the Yellow River was frozen, and the Tang army could cross the Yellow River through the ice at will, but now, the ice surface of the Yellow River has long melted, but the crossings of the Yellow River have been so many for thousands of years, and the Yellow River is here, but it has become Wang Shichong's barrier.

Wang Shichong always owned the thirty-eight prefectures of Jingxiang in the Central Plains, except for the Henan Mansion that Chen Ying had previously taken, the rest of the country first surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and then rebelled, it can also be said that Li Shimin was full of enemies at this time.

Before Wang Shichong did not completely collapse, these people who surrendered to Li Tang and repeatedly would definitely not surrender to Tang again.

"Yes!"
