Chapter 877: Final Word
(Thank you for your support, such as King Tea, Fengdi Bloody Clothes, Happy Mood, and NJSTAR, thank you!) I have a bad cold and headache today, so I can only change two chapters and eight thousand words, sorry! )
"Lonely Zhilu, you want to fight!"
Li Jing smiled and nodded in response to the salute of the sworn brothers, and then said with a smile: "Twenty thousand Hu miscellaneous soldiers are crashing headlong into our hunting ground, everyone just thinks that these Hu people are vulnerable, and want to come and ask to fight alone, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness."
At this time, Li Wei, the commander of the Eagle Yang Special Warfare Army, took a half step forward and replied, his body is strong and tall, two years younger than Li Jing, and he is Li Jing's own subordinate, and he is good at special operations and reconnaissance horses, especially ambushes and raids, which are his specialties. It gives the impression of being a brave warrior who is full of tenacity but always can explode at critical times.
"These Hu people are already meat to their mouths, no matter who makes a move, they can swallow him."
A clear light flashed in Li Jing's black eyes, and he said slowly.
"The Eagle Yang Army is the special operation of our Qin army, and it is the sharp edge on the blade. Good steel needs to be used on the blade, and in the same way, the sharp edge of the blade cannot be used indiscriminately, and you need to keep the sharpest state at all times, not to deal with those dirty chickens and dogs. ”
Li Wei reluctantly took a step back, the Eagle Yang Army was indeed very valued by King Qin, but they rarely had the opportunity to fight a frontal battle, and more often, they were all responsible for various special operations.
Wang Zhong glanced at Li Wei with some pride, obviously everyone had already voted for the dye just now, and decided that he would lead the three armies of the guards and pro-army to fight, and this kid actually came to rob it. I have to ask him to call him uncle when I turn around. In the future, I have to let him call him uncle. Anyway, he is the slave of King Qin. He is the brother of King Qin, and there is nothing wrong with letting him call him uncle.
"King Qin can rest assured that he will hand over the task to our guards and pro-army, as the most elite guard pro-army, he will guarantee the success of the horse, and he will be captured, and he will destroy these 20,000 miscellaneous fish in one fell swoop." He patted his chest and said loudly. The guards are not ordinary troops, they are called the upper three armies together with the Jinjia Shengjie army and the silver spear service army, and the army privately calls the upper three armies the Nanya Forbidden Army. Then the three departments of the three guards, the secret service, and the attendant division were called the three internal armies. It is also privately known as the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.
These six troops are of different numbers, but they can all be called the forbidden army of King Qin, which shows their elite and importance. The outer three armies guard the outer city and suburbs of Yanjing, and the inner three armies guard the palace city, and the attendants guard them, and their duties are clear.
Among them, the guards are the most numerous, with 10,000 infantry in the Silver Spear Army and 10,000 cavalry in the Shengjie Army. And they are usually stationed near Miyagi. Li Jing led the troops to the battle, and he must follow him personally.
Fifteen thousand elite guards pro-army. To ambush the rabble of 20,000 Hu people, this is indeed a sure thing.
Who knew that Li Jing sighed lightly and said: "The lineup of the guards is too strong, as soon as you come out, these Hu people will definitely be wiped out." No, no. ”
Wang Chong didn't mention it in one breath, and suddenly coughed, and his face was swollen and red. He didn't expect that the King of Qin would actually veto his request for war with the reason that their guards were too strong, was this a compliment, or a counter-argument?
Wang Chong and Li Wei's invitations to fight were rejected one after another, which made Qiu Shengong and Xuan Cheng have a smile on their faces, but just as they were about to speak, Li Jing had already shook his head at them: "Well, no, Gu doesn't plan to send you either." ”
At this time, all the generals were stunned, they didn't plan to let Li Si'an and others, who lured the enemy, fight, and didn't let them fight, what did King Qin mean?
Li Jing glanced at the generals, but did not answer this question immediately, but tapped on the table, and said: "Liu Xun and they won a great victory in Jincheng, and the 50,000 southbound troops of Yelu Stabbing have been completely annihilated, and although Li Siyuan was defeated this time, he also killed more than 30,000 rabble soldiers of the Hu people. Do the math, how many more than 200,000 Hu people are there? ”
The flower monk Xuancheng hurriedly replied: "200,000 minus 80,000, there are still 120,000 left." ”
"That's right, there are still 120,000 left, and these 120,000 people are now in two places, one is the 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers who are about to crash into the trap right now, and the other is the 100,000 Hu people under Yunzhou City."
Gongsun Lan added on the side, "According to the most dissipated news, Yelu Shilu under Yunzhou City encountered stubborn resistance from Song Jirong and other generals, and they took the initiative to abandon the peripheral cities and retreat to Yunzhou City, relying on the many equipment and materials left by Marshal Zhang in the Western Expedition Camp in Yunzhou, and successfully blocked their attack. And it also gave the Hu people a hard counterattack, and by now, Yelu Shilu's 100,000 soldiers and horses are less than 80,000. ”
Li Jing nodded, "Okay, another 20,000 has been reduced, and unconsciously, the 200,000 people of the Hu people have been reduced by half." Look, although most of the missing half are those who are full, and the slightly stronger ones are still around Yelu Shilu, everyone should understand that the situation is becoming more and more favorable to us, and it is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Hu people. Li Keyong still failed to return north to participate in the war as scheduled in the river, and even the two towns of Chengde and Weibo in Hebei Province, where they had high hopes, are now busy fighting internally and grabbing the position because of the assassination of the handsome handsome, and they can't care about the situation here. ”
A staff officer next to him took a pencil and quickly drew a clear and simple map of the situation on one side of the wall according to Li Jing's description.
"Tell me about Zhang Zimian's current situation?" Zhang Zimian did not go back to Jincheng as Li Jing expected, causing Jincheng to almost fall, and Li Jing did not have too much anger. He trusted Zhang Zimian, so he would not make a decision lightly without getting detailed information. These days, he has been waiting for information from there, and he also believes that Zhang Zimian will not let himself down.
"Marshal Zhang did not return to the army according to the military order when he defended the battle in Jincheng, at that time he ostensibly retreated north, but in fact he took advantage of the night to return to Yanmen Pass from the new, and only sent a small force to play the flag and feign to withdraw. And just a little after the victory of Jincheng, Marshal Zhang led his 20,000 troops to ride outside Yanmen Pass, southeast of Shuozhou City, and raided the Yanmen army that poured out from Yanmen Pass, and 20,000 Yanmen troops were annihilated. 50,000 returned to Qin with the army and civilians. Right now. Yanmen Pass and the two states of the Xin Dynasty were empty. All the soldiers and horses added up to no more than 10,000, and now Marshal Zhang has taken advantage of the victory to go south and take Yanmen Town in one fell swoop, which is just around the corner. ”
The generals who heard the news were all shocked, and in fact, when Li Jing first heard the news, he was also a little incredulous. He originally thought that the expected goal of this operation was to repel the Hu people and then take Datong Town. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zimian disobeyed the order on the front line, and really made a big surprise. is worthy of being a general who defeated Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao.
Because of this good news, Li Jing once again raised his expected goal of the campaign, and he was no longer satisfied with defeating the southbound Hu people and capturing Datong Town. He wants to take down the entire Daibei region north of Taiyuan, so that his Shanxi province deserves its name. At the same time, he also wants to completely annihilate this Hu army that is heading south, and not a single Hu person will let them escape Yinshan.
"Liu Xun's 30,000 horses of the Wansheng Army are heading north, advancing towards Yunzhou City step by step. It won't take long to recover the outer cities. They will be able to advance to the city of Yunzhou. At the same time, there were 20,000 of Li Siyuan's subordinates in the Cowhide Pass in the north of Yunzhou. Previously, the Hu people approached Yunzhou City, and when they saw that the cowhide pass was difficult for a while, they went around the pass. But now, the siege of the entire Yunzhou City is progressing unfavorably, and the situation of the Hu people is beginning to be very bad. Their reinforcements will not come, and at the same time, they have lost half of their soldiers and horses, and then, the two troops and horses in the north and south of the Yunzhou battlefield have 50,000 people on their flanks. ”
Li Jing smiled: "If you were Yelu Shilu, what would you do?" ”
Wang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Gather your forces and attack Yunzhou again before our other reinforcements arrive." If Yunzhou can be defeated, then Niupiguan will become a lonely army, and it is naturally impossible to defend it anymore. In this way, although they may not have to go south to join forces with Yanmen Shatuo, they can still occupy Yunzhou. As long as their back road is clear, they can fight us in Yunzhou. ”
"It's a possibility, of course, it's almost impossible for it to really happen. Because Liu Xun and their speed of going north was very fast, they had no chance to attack Yunzhou with all their might. At the same time, the news of the loss of Yanmen Town will also come, Yelu Shilu at that time, does he dare to stay in Yunzhou? Li Jing smiled.
"Your Highness means that the Yelu dog thief is going to escape?" Levi asked.
"With the current situation, of course he has to flee. This is still the case that we have not shown the banner, if Yelu Shilu knew that we still have an army of nearly 100,000 people here, and Junduguan will gather 100,000 troops, he may have fled long ago. Li Jing was very happy about the huge advantage of the Qin army. Although it is said that the mobilization of more than 200,000 troops of the Qin army is huge. However, the Qin army moved quickly this time, and released many smoke bombs, and the Qin army strengthened its counter-espionage operations, so the battlefield intelligence of the two sides was seriously asymmetrical. This is one of the advantages of fighting at home, and intelligence can often dominate the outcome of a war.
However, Li Jing's army can't hide it for long, and after a long time, the Hu people will definitely find clues. What's more, as soon as the news of the annihilation of the Yanmen army comes out, Yelu Shilu will definitely reconsider the entire situation. Without the joint actions of Yanmen, Chengde, and Wei Bo, how could he, having lost half of his troops, dare to continue to fight in Yunzhou?
"Our goal now is to completely annihilate the remaining 100,000 Hu people, of course, the main thing is how to annihilate the 80,000 Hu people under Yunzhou City. If Jerushlus were to withdraw now, it would be difficult for us to intercept and annihilate them. Once they withdraw across the Yin Mountains, the vast grasslands and Gobi Desert, it will be even more difficult for us to annihilate them. Li Jing pinched his chin and pointed to the sand table and said, "Therefore, Gu plans to use these 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers to catch the big fish of Yelu Shilu." ”
"How do you fish?" Qiu Shengong's black face was puzzled. If these 20,000 Hu people are annihilated, I am afraid that Yelu Shilu will flee faster.
Li Jing replied calmly: "Because the Lone Hui led Yixun's three guards and the secret service, the attendant division and the second army of the iron cavalry forward to attack the 20,000 Hu people who came. ”
The three internal armies who came with the army this time each have 1,000 Xun Qinyi and three guards, the secret service and the attendant department also have 1,000 each, plus 10,000 people in the forward second army of the Iron Cavalry Corps, which is composed of Hu cavalry, military academy students, township soldiers, and unity soldiers, a total of only 15,000.
"Your Highness, this is too risky, let's fight for Your Highness. Anyway, if we win and win, it also belongs to King Qin. Lao Hei persuaded on the side.
When Li Jing heard this, his face couldn't help but darken a little, and he said it as if Li Jing was going to fight because he was jealous of merit and wanted to compete with his subordinates. What a fuck, how can he Li Jing be that kind of person. He did not let the generals fight, but wanted to fight himself, not for merit, but for fishing.
Raising his eyebrows, Li Jing sighed.
His gaze swept over the generals, fortunately, only Qiu Shengong, a rough man, had that thought, maybe Monk Hua also had this idea, but he didn't show it. The other generals all heard what Li Jing meant, and King Qin was going to catch a big fish for the bait himself.
"It's indeed a bit risky, Your Highness, it's better for someone to fight in place of His Highness under the banner of King Qin!" Guan Junrong, who had been closing his eyes as if he was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and said sharply.
This old partner always supports him wholeheartedly, Li Jing nodded appreciatively at him, and then said: "You have to do enough to do a show, not to mention, Lone also started immediately, in the early years of the southern and northern wars, which time was not the striker in front, not to mention, 15,000 elites are guarding by his side, what are you afraid of?" Don't let these Hu people take a closer look, I'm afraid it won't be easy to lure them into the bait. ”
"Think about it, when Hu Lu pursued Li Siyuan all the way and waited here, Gu suddenly led ten thousand five men and horses to kill out, breaking the thief army, and then, chasing and killing Hu thief all the way, deep into the depths of the outside of the Saiwai, at this time, Yelu Shilu, who was hesitating whether to withdraw his troops immediately under the city of Yunzhou, if he heard that this king was leading a lone army deep into his rear to chase and kill the remnants of a Hu army. Do you think he's going to think it's a good opportunity? If he can surround Lone, wouldn't it be invincible? ”
"Your Highness, the Sprinkle family has a doubt." Hyun Sung asked.
"Please." Li Jing saw his serious appearance and said.
"The Sprinkle family believes that if His Highness leads 15,000 men and horses to ambush the 20,000 tired Hu people who came from afar, he can completely annihilate them in one battle, and there is no need for a lone army to go deep into the outside of the fortress to chase the defeated army."
Li Jing glared at Monk Hua and ignored him powerlessly. He and Lao Hei are simply a pair of living treasures, with high qualifications and bravery, but unfortunately they lack some strategy, if it were not for the assistance of the marching Sima, the marching staff and the instructor and other adjutants, he really wouldn't dare to let these two guys lead an army of soldiers and horses.
"But this is too dangerous, if it is really surrounded, then how is it good?" The eunuch Zhang Chengye said worriedly, "The son of a daughter, you can't sit down, not to mention King Qin, as the king of a country, how can you do this kind of thing to lure thieves with your body." ”
"There will be no danger, when you are alone, you will lure Yelu to come, but you will follow nearby, once Yelu Shilu is hooked, you will immediately close the net, where is the danger?" Li Jing said confidently that there is always a risk in fighting, and of course there is a risk for him to be a bait, but the risk is very small, so small that he can be completely assured.
If Li Jing's plan was to send any general to be the bait, they would not have any objections. But Li Jing wanted to do the bait himself, which made the generals sit on a needle anvil and kept dissuading him.
Half an hour later, not only failed to convince the generals, but was a little impatient by the generals' louder and louder voices, Li Jing finally couldn't help but slap his palm on the table: "Okay, don't say anything, the decision has been made, you should all obey Gu's command and dispatch, this matter is settled, now let's discuss the specific battle plan!" ”
Li Jing made the final decision. (To be continued......)
