Chapter 307: Encircling the Point and Sending Reinforcements, Huai Mo Ascended the Account
For three days, Li Jing watched the 50,000 troops under the city not move at all, and he was faintly worried in his heart.
"Great Marshal, the enemy is besieging us but not attacking, is it trying to trap us here?" Zhang Shigui asked puzzled.
Li Jing shook his head, "I'm afraid it's worse than trapping us, I didn't expect the old man to fight all his life, and it was the first time he encountered such a helpless situation." ”
"Since they didn't trap us and others, why didn't they attack the city? Do you want to wait to see us come out and surrender? Zhang Liang was puzzled.
Li Jing said in a deep voice: "No, the other party wants to trap us and others, and at the same time use us as bait to lure the imperial court to send another army."
I was fortunate enough to see a tactic called 'encirclement and reinforcement' at Zhongnan Academy (Note: Encirclement and reinforcement was one of the tactics invented by Xu Xiangqian at the earliest, and there may have been people in ancient history who used similar methods, but it was Xu Xiangqian who really put it into writing. It means to surround a little bit and annihilate all the troops who dare to come to the rescue.
Now Yueyang has become a lonely city, the Emperor Taishang, the King of Qi, and our 20,000 troops are all bait with sufficient weight, and when the imperial court sends a large army again, due to the containment of the northern barbarians, they will not dare to send many troops, so they just give them the opportunity to send reinforcements.
There must be a master in this gang of bandits, who can design such an exquisite game, and I really want to fight him, but unfortunately Ben Shuai was disqualified from participating in the war at the beginning! ”
After listening to Li Jing's explanation, everyone was cold, their own family knew about their own affairs, and the imperial court only sent 20,000 people, and now it was easily served, and if you want to send someone again, how many can you send? Isn't that a death sentence?
"Shall we not pass on the news to the outside world? As long as I wait for 20,000 people to hold on, plus the green forests in the city, maybe we can come up with an idea to fight back. Li Yuanji suggested.
"It's true that we can't pass on the news, but since the other party is so precise, someone will definitely pass on the news, and besides, we still have Cheng Huaimo's soldiers and horses outside, if these boys find out that we are surrounded, they will first report to Chang'an immediately, and then they will come to attack behind the enemy on the periphery to rescue us." Li Jing said worriedly.
"That's right, we should cooperate inside and outside, and the killing will go out, as long as we break through this encirclement and run out of bait, won't the enemy's plan be in vain?" Li Yuanji said with a smile.
"It's not that simple, we are in Yuezhou at this time, we don't know how many forces the enemy has outside, according to my inference, the entire Yuezhou is the enemy's, or even worse, so even if we highlight Yueyang City and want to flee north back to Jingzhou, which is controlled by the Tang Dynasty, it will be extremely difficult, and it is difficult to say whether it will succeed."
After listening to Li Jing's analysis, everyone was collectively silent, this is indeed the case, but how to break the situation?
"Since I know that a group of boys outside will come to attack and rescue, it is better for me to take the Xuanjia Army out to charge the battle at that time, and then break this cage before I talk about anything else!" Zhang Shigui suggested.
When the generals think about it, this is also the truth.
"Okay, everyone in the Xuanjia Army is preparing for the charge, and Zuo Wuwei's 10,000 foot soldiers are also ready to cooperate with the outside world, Zhang Liang, you lead your subordinates to protect the Emperor Taishang and his relatives." Li Jing ordered.
Outside, Cheng Huaimo had just passed through Huarong with his headquarters, and there was still a day and a half away from Yueyang, when he saw someone coming urgently.
"Senior brother, urgent military situation!"
"What's the matter? Say it! ”
"Li Dashuai led an army of 20,000 people to enter Yueyang, and about 50,000 soldiers and horses appeared around Yueyang City, surrounding the entire city, not a single fly could fly over, and now it has been surrounded for three days, and Yueyang has become an isolated and helpless city.
According to the investigation of the disciples of the beggar gang, it seems that overnight, the atmosphere of the entire Yuezhou has changed, as if this is no longer the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Hong Qianli, the military advisor in charge of scouting the news, told the news he got in detail.
"What?"
A few exclamations came, and it was obvious that everyone didn't expect that this was obviously the marshal Li Jing who had messed up the enemy's trap.
"What's going on now? How many dead and wounded on both sides? What is the movement of the enemy army? ”
"No, there were no casualties!
The enemy is very strange, he only besieges Yueyang City but does not attack, three days have passed, and there is no situation of even calling a formation, but he only controls the entire city and is not allowed to enter or leave. ”
"Come on, order the brothers to hide, the Chinese soldiers will camp nearby in the mountains, and after half an hour, the commander will be promoted to gather generals!"
The team of 11,000 people, although in the eyes of the Tang general, is just a team of children, but at this time, it has shown extremely high military quality in the hands of this group of young students.
After Cheng Huaimo ordered to camp nearby, there was immediately a scout officer in the army who was responsible for surveying the terrain, and led the army to choose a hidden and favorable terrain to camp, and each team had professional experts responsible for survival in the field to quickly set up camp tents, and in less than half an hour, 11,000 soldiers and horses were all set up in the mountains and forests, and Cheng Huaimo also gathered all the generals.
"Dashuai, let the last general lead 3,000 soldiers to rush outside, and join forces with Li Dashuai and them inside and out, and rescue them!" Li Yuanba pleaded.
"Well, Senior Brother Yuanba should cooperate with the outside is also a plan, and I will write it down, you all come and talk about it, what is the enemy's intention? Since 50,000 people surrounded Yueyang, why not take advantage of the situation?
Master has taught us that when we go to the army to fight and strategize before the war, we should first figure out the strategic intentions of the enemy army, and only when we know the opponent's goal can we formulate countermeasures. Cheng Huaimo said loudly.
Master Bai Fan is not there, this time the battle is a practical experience in Zhongnan Academy, Cheng Huaimo is trying to be a good senior brother, he wants to maximize the experience of the junior and disciples.
Li Chengdao opened his mouth and said: "If you can send 50,000 soldiers and horses to surround Yueyang silently, coupled with the speculation of the beggar gang, then Yuezhou will inevitably fall into the hands of the enemy overnight." ”
The eldest grandson rushed to open his mouth and said: "If the enemy doesn't attack Li Dashuai, either he doesn't want to kill or hurt them and wants to trap them, or he has a bigger plan." ”
"I once heard Master talk about a battle example, called 'Encirclement and Reinforcement', it is ......," Li Yesi was moved and said worriedly.
After everyone heard the words "encirclement and reinforcement", they also remembered it at the same time, and then thought about the environment at this time, the bait was big enough, the court must be saved, and they didn't know that the enemy would inevitably be ambushed, so ......
Cheng Huaimo took a few shots and said angrily: "He has such a big appetite!" is so vicious, it's not enough to occupy Yuezhou, is it trying to subvert my Tang Dynasty? ”
Everyone also thought of this serious consequence, especially at this time, it was the time for Datang to recuperate, and once the strength of the army was lost by more than half, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Senior brothers, since the enemy's intentions are clear, we must come up with a strategy to break the enemy, this battle is not just to save the division from difficulties, but to protect the family and defend the country.
Master has worked hard to teach me to wait for three years, just to want us to grow into an iron wall in the future of Datang, Master is not here, today is the first battle of our disciples of Zhongnan Academy, and I hope everyone will work together, don't let Master down, and let the enemy see the methods of my Zhongnan Academy! ”
Everyone said in unison: "Follow the instructions of the senior brother and work together to protect the family and defend the country!" ”
