Chapter 103: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
Li Jie sat aside and sneered a few times, and said in a somewhat weird manner, "The general is really a good calculation, not only the Liao soldiers and horses in Ping'an City, Baiyan and the surrounding mountain cities in one fell swoop. Moreover, there was a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, one was to plunder back a large number of grain and grass materials, and the other was equivalent to cutting off the grain and grass of the Liao people, if the Liao army came, they would have to transport grain and grass from the long rear. Thirdly, the general also directly took the population of each city and plundered it, which not only strengthened the strength of our army, but also cut off the back road of the Liao people to recruit troops on the spot in Liaodong to replenish it. β
"Once the war is deadlocked, then the general is afraid that there will be a plan to send elite cavalry to raid and attack the logistics and transportation of the Liao! At that time, the Liao people will have no strong people to supplement the soldiers damaged in the war, and secondly, the grain and grass will not continue, so I am afraid that they will have to retreat, right? And with the general's usual strategy, I am afraid that I will not let go of such a good opportunity at that time, I am afraid that it will be a counterattack on the Liao army, and it is impossible to defeat the concubine Guguryeo army in one fell swoop? β
"Slap, slap, slap" Chen Kefu slapped his slap gently, and said to Ji with a smile, "Everything General Li said is possible, since General Li has such a sharp vision and has already seen things so thoroughly, why do you always not support the general's strategy?" Is it really so important to gain and lose between individuals compared to national righteousness, militaristic affairs, and personal gains? Could it be that in General Li's heart, the interests of the Great Sui were not put first? β
"Set, I didn't say that." Li Jie said with this annoyance, in his opinion, Chen Kefu's words were completely a thief shouting to catch a thief.
"Well, since General Li has completely abandoned his personal sΔ« and is willing to advance and retreat with me, he will be very pleased. I think so, this big war is the first thing I am waiting for, and everyone will not miss it. General Li also heard it just now, the generals of Na'an City and Baiyan City are brave people, even if we really trick them into the city at that time, if we really start fighting, we will definitely not be able to please them at that time. In order to be foolproof, Ben decided to gather all the bows and crossbows in the army, and then set up an ambush in the south of the city. The preparation of all these instruments for distribution is a major event, "I think such important things will be left to General Li to do." General Li, success or failure depends on you. Chen Kefu said to Li Jie with a sincere face.
Li Jie originally thought that Chen Kefu really planned to put aside the festival between the two for the time being, and was ready to let him lead a team of soldiers and horses, but he didn't expect that in the end, he didn't even have to lead the people, and now Chen Kefu directly did the thing and let him take care of the equipment, which is not equivalent to sending him into a warehouse of Cao to participate in the military. Well, he is a dignified Li Que son, and the personal guard of His Majesty's side, Zhi Chong Lang, "was actually sent by him Chen Kefu to be the head of a warehouse, which is too much."
For a while, the whole person was angry, and he was ignited," a pair of eyes stared at Chen Kefu, and his mouth was a little blue when he pursed it together.
One hand was held directly on the delicate ring knife at his waist, and his knuckles were white from excessive force.
Chen Kefu walked to his side, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said indifferently, "What, General Li thinks this task is difficult?" When he turned around, he whispered in his ear, "Disobeying the order is a great crime." If General Li still dares to pull the knife against him, then the general can directly rebel and directly order you to be killed on the spot for the crime of assassinating the general, General Li, you must not do anything reckless. β
It seemed to persuade him to calm down, but it sounded more like a deliberate attempt to provoke his anger.
Li Jie looked at Chen Kefu, and the other party was not afraid of his eyes at all, but looked at him with a smile on his face.
Gritting his teeth, after cursing Chen Ke several times in his heart, he said with no anger, "Honorable General's order!" β
Chen Kefu smiled at Li Jie, reached out and patted him on the shoulder a few times, and turned back
"Okay, our army will set up an ambush in the south city, all the cavalry of the broken camp in the army will prepare their horses and ambush on both sides of the city gate, and all the other people who are good at shooting are all holding bows and lying in ambush in the roofs of the houses at the south gate. The rest of the people, choose the strong people to stand by in the houses with big shields, and as soon as the war starts, you will immediately form a shield formation at the south gate, and you must surround all the Liao people in the open area of the south gate.
The rest of the remaining Minzhuang all armed with crossbow arrows and hid near Nancheng, and once the battle started, they immediately rushed to Nancheng to join the battle. β
"As for the 10,000 horses of the Fifth Division, together with the Goguryeo soldiers who had already surrendered to our Great Sui, they changed into Goguryeo armor and clothes to guard the southern city, and all the chuΓ‘ng crossbows and trebuchets in the army were also placed on the southern city, and after the battle, they attacked the Liao army directly from the city. Let me hold on a little, my people of the Great Sui are 10,000 times more precious than those barbarians, except for the cavalry who broke the barracks, who were responsible for breaking up the opponent's formation and preventing them from forming a formation to defend, all the soldiers and people were not allowed to fight directly with the Liao people without my orders. I will exchange a million feathered arrows for the lives of the 20,000 Goguryeo people, and kill them all unless I surrender them. β,
All the generals can feel the cold-blooded taste in Chen Kefu's words, and in a few words, he has already decided the fate of tens of thousands of high-level soldiers. Compared with the dignified battlefield of life and death, this kind of death by ambush. I'm afraid it's even more difficult for those Liao people to accept. But Chen Kefu's sentence, the lives of all the people of the Great Sui are a hundred times more precious than the barbarians, and it warms the hearts of the generals, so they love their subordinate bosses and make them even more supportive.
Just now, because the number of enemies was beyond everyone's expectations, everyone was a little worried, but at this time, Chen Kefu had already made a plan so easily, and easily solved 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers, which suddenly made all the soldiers cheer.
"General, since the strategy of catching turtles in this urn is so useful, why don't the Goguryeo soldiers and horses on the north side of us also draw gourds. How about we lead them directly to the new city, and then we will close the door again and beat the dogs, won't everything be solved? Butcher Captain Zhang Hei said boldly.
After hearing this, many generals also nodded in agreement, yes, everyone is naturally willing to take down the Liao people so easily. really pulled people out, left the escort of the army, and the reliance of the fortified city, these temporary generals of the new army really have no bottom in their hearts.
Chen Kefu sighed in his heart, it was really a group of rabble, without the blood of a soldier. One by one, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, thinking about how to be safe, not how to be more effective.
"Ladies and gentlemen, nothing can be done again, let alone three. One of the main reasons why the defenders of Anshi and Baiyan City came to Liaodong City was that Anshi and Baiyan Zhucheng were far away from the retreat route of the Sui army, and they had to pass through Liaodong City first if they wanted to rush to the Liaohe battlefield. Therefore, our previous strategy was more reasonable, and secondly, it was also because the guards of the two cities were all brave and unscrupulous, and they had long wanted to come to Liaodong to participate in the war. So we use this tactic against them. β
"However, the situation of the three cities of Buyeo City, Jinshan City, and Gaimu City is not the same as the situation of the two cities of Anshi. The fortress of the northwestern city of Buyeo Wangoguryeo, directly related to the Khitan, Turkic,
Shoju and other Hu people to receive the border, where there has always been a general guard. The army was not an ordinary aristocratic soldier, but a regular army of the kingdom. And to go to the battlefield of Liaohe, they don't have to go through Xincheng. If we order them to be stationed in Liao Xincheng, don't you think that if you are the commander of the Liao army, you won't feel suspicious? β
"Do you know who the defender of Buyeo Castle is?"
Shen Guang said in a thick voice, "General, could it be that the guard general is still more powerful than Yizhi Wende and Gao Jianwu?" Didn't the Goguryeo people call Ulji the god of war, and that Gao Jianwu as Goguryeo's rising god of war after Ulji? This god of war, the god of war is famous enough, an army of 80,000 was defeated by the general in the new city, Gao Jianwu led 100,000 troops to sit in Liaodong, and in the end it was not the general who took the city, only he jumped into the river and escaped. This god of war and the god of war are not your opponents of the general, not to mention the others, who are just bringing humiliation on themselves. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't judge heroes only by success or failure, the defeat of Yizhi is because its soldiers are noble soldiers of a temporary subset, and they are flanked by my army of more than 200,000 people, and it is not me who defeated him. And Gao Jianwu has been besieging hundreds of thousands of my army with 100,000 people for more than a month, and he is indeed a capable general. In this military matter, if you are not careful, it is easy to lose everything. Therefore, we must not be conceited, although the defenders of Buyeo City are not as famous as Ulji and Gao Jianwu, they are not mediocre people in Goguryeo. He is the first tribe of Goguryeo, the eldest son of the kingdom to Yuan Ziyou, Yuan Tai Yuan, who is only forty years old, but has always led his clan's soldiers and horses, and has long been in charge of Fuyu City, and has fought many times with the Khitan, Han Ju, and even the Turks, and is a real battlefield general. β
"So, for him, we can't be the same as for the brainless Gao Yannian and Gao Zhen.
The soldiers and horses of the three cities of Fuyu, Jinshan, and Gaimu are very close to the battlefield of the Liaohe River, so if we pretend to pass on Gao Jianwu's general order, then we can only let them go to the Liaohe River to set up an ambush, and then attack the Sui army on both sides with the defenders of Liaodong City, and it is impossible for them to take over the defense of the new city.
Ladies and gentlemen, unlike the previous battle against Anshi, this will definitely be a hard battle. β
Li Shimin got up and said, "General You, the last general and Li Xuanba's heavy infantry battalion are willing to be the vanguard of the general and the first victory for the army!" β
Luo Lin also hurriedly got up and said, "General, I also want to be the vanguard, but now we want to ambush Gao Yannian and Gao Zhen, I'm afraid that we are lacking in skills, how can we fight on both sides?" β
"That's right, general, now the strategy we are planning is all based on time, and the Liao people don't have time to know that Liaodong City has been lost. But if the time goes by, I am afraid that this will slip through the net during the siege of the city, and even after Gao Jianwu escapes back to the domestic city, he will immediately send people and horses to report the military situation here to the cities. Hu Hai, who was a little old, said busily.
