I dare not say that it is the strongest army in Hexi, and its strength is not trivial. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Qingwu designed in Lingzhou, severely damaged Zuo Wuwei under Zhang Shaoqing's account, and the battle to seize the city was brave and strategic, which also showed that Yang Qingwu was by no means an idle person.
However, Yang Yue knew the situation of Yang Qingwu and the Hexi Army under his account, knew himself and the enemy, and was not afraid of the Hexi Army led by Yang Qingwu.
The army left Gyeongju, and Yang Yue quickly sent Chang Fengchun with 100 people to the garrison of the Hexi Army outside the city of Yuanju to investigate the Hexi Army in detail.
According to Yang Yue's estimate, he led 30,000 right military guards to Yuanzhou, Yan Yuefeng led his troops to Lingzhou, and when Lingzhou was attacked, the news was transmitted to Yang Qingwu, it would take about two days, during which he had enough time to prepare!
However, Yang Yue also hoped that while Yang Qingwu led the Hexi Army to focus all its attention on Yuanzhou City, he would send generals to lead 10,000 cavalry to cover up their unpreparedness and attack the grain and grass camp of the Hexi Army, or the main army.
Once the Hexi Army was attacked and the news of Lingzhou City being attacked, Yang Qingwu would have to lead the army to retreat and go to Lingzhou in order to ensure that the back road was not cut off.
At that time, he couldn't help but resolve the crisis in Yuanzhou, dispel the Hexi Army's plan to point at Chang'an, and even ambush the Hexi Army halfway when the Hexi Army rushed to the aid of Lingzhou City.
The plan is proper, if it is implemented perfectly, there are many details that should be paid attention to, and Yang Yue does not dare to take it lightly.
The leader arrived at a hundred miles away from Yuanzhou City, the Hexi Army camp, and Yang Yue ordered the army to stop and set up camp.
According to Li Xuanqi's report, five miles ahead of this place, there is a small hill, and the right military guard can be stationed here to ambush.
The three armies set up camp, and Yang Yue personally led Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Xuanheng, Li Xuanqi, Ye Qinghu, and a few personal guards to Xiaoshan Bao to investigate.
Although this battle was an ambush, but properly deployed, it could successfully kill tens of thousands of Hexi troops, and if there was a mistake in the deployment, the killing effect would be greatly reduced, and it was possible to be defeated by the opponent and turn it into victory.
rode a horse and galloped to the small mountain bag that Li Xuanqi said.
Yang Yue tightened the reins of the horse and stopped to watch, the terrain here is not steep, the north and south sides are gentle slopes, however, the south side is lush with dry grass, relatively speaking, it is more difficult to climb over the small hillside!
The north side is mostly rocky, and the dead grass is scarce, standing on the top of the mountain bag, looking to the north, it is clear at a glance!
Yang Yue's five people, after a detailed exploration of the north and south of the mountain bag, stood at the top of the mountain bag, the autumn breeze was slow, slightly cool.
Li Xuanqi waved the folding fan, moved closer to Yang Yue, and said: "Lord Wang, here, the southern slope is lush with dry grass, easy to hide soldiers, Weichen suggested, you can set up an ambush here, if the Hexi army gallops to the aid of Lingzhou, there is a plain ahead, the right military guard is condescending, the whole army is impacted, and the impact of the cavalry is doubled, it is bound to be lightning fast, and the Hexi army will be caught off guard!" ”
Hearing this, Yang Yue turned his eyes to Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Xuanheng, and Ye Qinghu, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Before arriving at Xiaoshanbao, Yang Yue extremely agreed with Li Xuanqi's plan, but when he arrived at Xiaoshanbao and personally explored the terrain, Yang Yue's thoughts changed.
It is not intended to adopt Li Xuanqi's plan, on the contrary, it is ready to take a fire attack.
"Lord Wang, Li Changshi's words are true, it is indeed easy to hide troops here, but if according to the plan of the prince to attack the Hexi Army, attack the Hexi Army here, the last general feels that it may not be appropriate." Lin Kaiyue said.
He has a wealth of combat experience, so he naturally knows what kind of arrangement and how to ambush according to the terrain, which can produce the maximum killing effect.
Yang Yue nodded and motioned for Lin Kaiyue to continue.
As the saying goes, the three stinky cobblers, the top Zhuge Liang, besides, Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Xuanheng, Ye Qinghu, and Li Xuanqi all have outstanding points.
Only by conspiring together can we brainstorm ideas!
Lin Kaiyue nodded, and said bluntly: "Yang Qingwu is not an idle person, the Hexi Army also has rich combat experience, and there is a plain in front of Xiaoshanbao, if Yang Qingwu pursues the right Wuwei to arrive here, he will inevitably suspect whether there is an ambush near Xiaoshanbao, so the last general proposed that the ambush point be set up on the plain in front of Xiaoshanbao, so that it can really be taken by surprise." ”
Yang Yue nodded, Lin Kaiyue's plan can indeed be taken by surprise, but it is necessary to overcome the shortcomings of the plains that cannot hide troops.
If you want to be in the plain, perfect ambush, unless the ambush time is set at night, which means that when the right guard attacks the Hexi army, it must be within daylight.
At this time, Zhang Xuanheng said: "Lord Wang, Weichen proposed that the ambush point be set up in the north of Xiaoshanbao, according to Lin Zhonglang's proposal, the Hexi army is pursuing, and the whole army is bound to be cautious. At that time, you can only get twice the result with half the effort by attacking by surprise. ”
Yang Yue nodded and said: "This king proposes to set up ambushes in the north and south of the mountainside, and the withered grass on the southern slope of the mountain is luxuriant, but there are a few two or three thousand troops left on the southern slope, and the main force of the right military guard is arranged on the northern slope, and when the Hexi army appears, the right military guard lurking below the southern slope will directly set fire to the dry grass on the southern slope and set fire to the mountain."
The flames will inevitably cause panic in the Hexi army, and it will definitely consume a lot of Hexi troops, and it can block the idea of Hexi turning back to the south. ”
"Lord Wang, this move is very good, if it is successfully implemented, it will inevitably make the Hexi army suffer from the enemy on its back and suffer heavy casualties!" Li Xuanqi agreed with Yang Yue's plan, but continued in the blink of an eye: "If the fire on the southern slope burns and the Hexi army flees in panic, it will definitely be in a hurry to go to the north. ”
Yang Yue nodded and said: "Traps must be deployed, this campaign, this king wants to let the Hexi army all be buried on the east bank of the Yellow River." ”
It was planned that Yang Yue and the others would not stay in the hill for a long time, and rode their horses directly back to the place where the army was encamped.
Entering the commander's tent, there was no rest, Yang Yue quickly ordered the army, and said: "Lin Kaiyue, the surprise attack on the Hexi army is extremely dangerous, and there can be no disclosure, today, you personally lead 10,000 right military guards, and within half a day, you must arrive outside the tent of the Hexi army commander in Yuanzhou, and attack at night, can you do it?" ”
In this battle, the surprise attack on the Hexi Army and the ambush of the Hexi Army under the broken are the top priorities, and no accidents can be encountered.
Therefore, Yang Yue talked endlessly and explained the current situation to Lin Kaiyue.
"Don't worry, the last general will definitely give the Hexi army a horse!" Lin Kaiyue said with confidence.
"Ye Qinghu, leading three thousand right guards, looked for a hidden place under the southern slope and waited patiently. To set fire to the mountain, it is necessary to completely block the road of the Hexi Army to the south. Yang Yue continued to command!
"Yes!" Ye Qinghu said.
At this time, Yang Yue looked at Zhang Xuanheng and said: "Zhang Zhonglang, quickly rectify the matter of the army and horses blocking the Hexi army, you and this king are personally responsible!" ”
