70% win rate?

As long as there is fifty percent, even if it is forty percent, Suning dares to fight, but any huge test, the probability of success is quite low, Zhang Shigui is seventy percent sure, Suning still dare not share this risk with him? However, there is another point that Suning is more concerned about.

"General Zhang, the 10,000 people I brought this time are all northern soldiers, and they rarely touch the warship, but there are too many people fainting and vomiting on the warship these days and can't stand? The last time General Xue Li's army had this situation, it was really a very crisis! This time we are a battle of life and death, we need soldiers and horses to keep their best condition at all times, and after the total annihilation of the Goguryeo Naval Division, the infantry army will land for battle, but there can be no large-scale fainting and vomiting! Suning said worriedly.

Zhang Shigui is not too worried about this: "Those are people who have not been in contact with warships, as long as they stay on the ship for a few more days, it will be fine, most of these soldiers are healthy, people with strong bodies, as long as they get used to it for a few days, that's fine, these days the army is also practicing with the navy on the ship, the old man looks at the situation is still good, the bigger the ship, the more stable, the main thing is not to encounter storms, there is no problem." ”

Suning looked at Zhang Shigui's face and asked, "Has Zhang Gong encountered a storm at sea?" ”

Zhang Shigui nodded: "That's right, it was more than a year ago, the old man took the navy to the sea for training, and encountered a storm, fortunately, at that time, the old man studied Su Hou's maritime navigation rules, and knew the strange situation before the storm at sea, so he hurriedly rushed back to the port with the fleet, but the storm came halfway." Luckily, we left early and didn't leave until the storm started, but we did damage a small ship and there were no casualties. ”

Suning couldn't help but sigh: "When the storm at sea comes, there is really nothing to do except look at luck, I remember that when Emperor Wen of the former Sui first sent troops to conquer Goguryeo, the sailor also encountered a storm and returned in a fiasco, right?" “

Zhang Shigui nodded and said with emotion: "That's right." 300,000 troops. Tens of thousands of sailors can't take a small Goguryeo, this Goguryeo is really a shame for my China, and it must be destroyed. can comfort the souls of the sons and daughters who died in the sky. This time the troops were dispatched. It is necessary to completely destroy the Goguryeo water division, Su Hou, after the annihilation of the Goguryeo water division. But what else is needed from the North Sea Navy? Su Hou only has 10,000 soldiers, I'm afraid it's a bit risky! ”

Suning frowned and said: "It's not that it's not risky or not, the main thing is that I want Silla to send troops, then I have to send troops, and I have to attack the city and pull out the village, all the way like a bamboo, so that Silla can be tempted to attack with a large army, follow me to attack Goguryeo, and completely put Goguryeo into a two-sided dilemma, and even a 150,000-strong army to go on the expedition, this grain and grass consumption is definitely not a small amount, see how long he can hold on, see how much ability he has to fight on both sides!"

By the way, Zhang Gong, you look here, this is half a moon-shaped land, gradually narrowing from north to south, connected with the Shandong Peninsula, wrapping the entire Beihai, this Liaodong Peninsula is all occupied by Goguryeo, which is strategically unfavorable to me, in fact, I don't plan to fight with the Goguryeo people to the end, my goal is to fight here as much as possible once I land, from the north end to the south end here, to sweep away all the strength of the Goguryeo people here, the Goguryeo people concentrated the main force of the army in Beiping, and the rest of the army has 50,000 people guarding the border, this 200,000 army is useless.

The other border is definitely not only 50,000 people, the border line is so long, so many cities need to be garrisoned, the Goguryeo people draw 150,000 people to attack the Tang Dynasty is already the limit, in this case, we have more opportunities to deal with the Goguryeo people, this Liaodong Peninsula Goguryeo people will definitely not be too many, I will sweep the Liaodong Peninsula with 10,000 elites, and ask Zhang Gong to recruit more sailors during this period, and then after I send a message, the sailors will land from here to meet with me, and eat this Liaodong Peninsula in one bite! ”

Zhang Shigui stared at the map for a long time, and said with some worry: "Even if I vigorously recruit sailors, I can't recruit more soldiers and horses, at most no more than 10,000 soldiers, this is still connected to the original 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus Su Hou's 10,000 soldiers are only 20,000 soldiers, is it really enough?" ”

Suning thought for a while and said, "Then we might as well ask General Zhang Liang's East China Sea Navy to go north to help in the war!" That's right, Zhang Gong, please immediately repair the book to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty Xià to allow the mobilization of the East China Sea Navy to fight northward, this battle not only requires the Goguryeo people to take care of the head and tail, but also needs to occupy this Liaodong Peninsula, cut off Goguryeo's arm, and capture this fertile land!

In that case, our navy will be completely safe in the North Sea, and we can set up a naval port at the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula and the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, so that not only will the entire Beihai become our Datang Inland Sea, but we can also stay away from the North Sea and move farther to the ocean! The Navy can't be locked up in this bathtub, if you want to get out, you must get out!

This time His Majesty checked the people inside and outside Chang'an City, and found that the Japanese were suspected of stealing my papermaking and movable type printing, and after dealing with Goguryeo, we will clean up Silla and Baekje, we are very likely to be ready to take action against the Wa State, Zhang Gong, whether it is against Silla Baekje or the Wa State, your Beihai Navy will be the main force! ”

Zhang Shigui showed an excited look in his eyes, and said loudly: "If you can destroy these four countries and make contributions, then the old man can really make a difference, go home to retire, and spend most of his life as a horseman, if he can make contributions to the navy at the last moment, it would be great!" ”

Looking at Zhang Shigui's appearance, Suning knew that Zhang Shigui's fighting spirit had been stimulated, as long as he had fighting spirit, it would be good, Zhang Liang was a greedy person, once he learned that he could receive credit, he would definitely come back, and he had a good cooperation experience before, the East China Sea is not like the North Sea, it is close to the Four Kingdoms, and it is not like the South Sea, there are so many pirates, there are not many tasks in peacetime, the main task is to assist Haizhou Assassin Liu Renliang to build Haizhou, there is no task of the war, Zhang Liang complained more than once.

In fact, the construction of the East China Sea Navy in Suning's blueprint is to respond to the north and south of the general reserve of the navy, the north needs to go north, the south needs to go south, now the north needs, the East China Sea Navy more than 1,000 warships should set off! Zhang Shigui immediately returned to his residence to write a report to Li Erma, writing down the battle plan and the request for assistance from the East China Sea Navy. Then they were ready to complete the first phase of the naval battle.

On March 12 of the tenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Beihai Navy ushered in its first formal battle, and the scouts had ascertained the location of the Goguryeo Naval Division and its preparedness, and after a comprehensive judgment, Suning believed that this was an excellent opportunity to attack, an excellent opportunity to destroy the Goguryeo Naval Division, and the Goguryeo Naval Division had many warships and soldiers, but since the fall of the former Sui. The Goguryeo people have always paid little attention to the sailors. Instead, it focuses on building the defense line of the Great Wall of Liaodong.

This time, the 150,000-strong army went out to attack the Tang Dynasty, but they failed to bring the sailors, and the sailors were left there in abandonment, and the report said that most of the Goguryeo sailors were not on the ship but on land. The stolen information was that the naval division of Goguryeo had at least 30,000 men. However, it is pointed out from the information of the past few days. It is unknown whether the total number of soldiers of the Goguryeo naval division is 10,000, and Goguryeo attaches great importance to the construction of the army, but it has pulled down the naval division!

Zhang Shigui said disdainfully: "This must be an empty salary." The establishment of 30,000 people, the military salary of 30,000 people, I don't know how many people here have been eaten empty salaries, it must be that the fewer the sailors, the more those Goguryeo sailor commanders earn, hum! At the moment of the war, I don't know how to prepare for the war, and I still want to eat empty salary, which is doomed to my Zhang Shigui to destroy him completely! Zhang Shigui angrily slammed his fist on the map.

Suning said: "Don't disturb Zhang Gong, we are a surprise attack, a sneak attack, and not a face-to-face fight with him, wouldn't it be better if they didn't have one?" Those incendiary canisters of our army were prepared and thrown with trebuchets, and the warships of the Goguryeo naval division were all made of wood, just like Zhou Yu did when he dealt with Cao Cao, and the fire burned it, and the Goguryeo naval division was almost finished.

After that, I landed with a horse infantry army to chase and kill the Goguryeo sailors, first go to the surprise attack on the capital of Goguryeo, if I can, I will sweep away the Goguryeo royal family, destroy him, and then I will set fire to the city, immediately lead the troops to leave, all the way to the Liaodong Peninsula to fight, please Zhang Gong clean up the battlefield and return immediately, recruit enough soldiers, and after General Zhang Liang's sailors arrive, they will join forces, land from the Liaodong Peninsula, and fight to the north, I will wait for a south and a north, and jointly sweep the Liaodong Peninsula, always keep in touch! ”

Zhang Shigui nodded, and then asked: "Navy sailors, I am afraid that the combat power is insufficient!" ”

Suning said: "General Zhang Liang has a force of more than 3,000 iron cavalry, both water and land warfare, strong combat power, Jiangnan Quelling is thanks to General Zhang Liang's 3,000 iron cavalry gallop aid, if you get the 3,000 iron cavalry, win 30,000 foot army, Liaodong Peninsula must be ours, and then we will be stationed in the northernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula to resist the Goguryeo counterattack, at that time, Zhang Gong can use warships to transport soldiers and horses to the Liaodong Peninsula to assist in the fight, and wait for the grassland army to come back to help, we can send troops in two ways, in one fell swoop to the north of the Datong River!" ”

Zhang Shigui exclaimed: "Sure enough, he is a hero and a young man, and Su Hou's ability is not inferior to General Li Jing!" However, there is only one important flaw in this plan. ”

Suning asked, "What flaw?" ”

Zhang Shigui pointed to Beiping: "There are only 20,000 horses here, but they have to fight against the 150,000 Goguryeo army, can they resist the impact of the Goguryeo people before our plan succeeds, that is the problem, once they can't resist it, and come straight towards our naval port, then our navy will not be able to help Suhou attack the Liaodong Peninsula, at that time, even if General Zhang Liang comes to help, it is also to help guard the port and navy, how can Suhou's 10,000 soldiers retreat under the siege of the Goguryeo people?" ”

Suning frowned, and thought carefully: "I have never liked to defend the city, but like to attack and surprise attacks, I don't know if this city can be defended, Beiping City is the old general Qin sitting, as for the surrounding city, it is guarded by Changsun Chong, Zhang Jian and Li Boyao, and the Goguryeo soldiers and horses are scattered, so that they can not concentrate their forces to besiege a certain city, if they divide the troops to attack, they will not be able to take Beiping City in a short period of time and attack Shandong."

As for General Qin, we can only trust General Qin, after all, with our current strength, even if we send reinforcements, it will not help, the only way is to attract the 150,000 troops of the Goguryeo people as quickly as possible, so that they have to return to help, if we want to do this, we must wait for a great effort, otherwise how to force the Goguryeo people to withdraw their troops? ”

Zhang Shigui nodded slightly: "Although it is risky, it can only be like this, I hope that Old General Qin can hold Beiping City!" Alas! They are all Goguryeo people, taking advantage of people's danger, hateful, hateful! and the rest of the generals, they were simply dizzy, and they all ran to the grassland, and the old man 1 heard that the staff headquarters was empty, so they all went, and they dragged their families with them, it was a war, not a child's play! A bunch of dazed ones! ”

Suning said helplessly: "Who doesn't want a lot of credit? And this Goguryeo sneak attack on my Datang did not reveal any news at all, and we only found out suddenly, who would have thought that the Goguryeo people would be so bold at this time to send 150,000 troops to attack my Datang? Did they eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? But there's no point in saying anything now, I'll wait for the kuài to set off, and start fighting as soon as possible! ”

Zhang Shigui nodded: "That's all!" (To be continued......)
