Chapter 134: The soldiers are divided into two, and they meet on a narrow road
Su Dingfang was a little surprised. He had heard that Li Zaigu was a strategy, but he didn't expect that Li Zaigu actually understood the art of war.
After listening to Li Zaigu's analysis, Su Dingfang understood that the reason why Li Zaigu proposed this strategy was not because he was hot-headed or showed off his courage, but because he had thought about it carefully.
"General Li may be able to do this plan, but General Li, as a military supervisor, cannot lead troops directly to war." Su Dingfang stated.
"But as far as I know, so far, the Tang Dynasty has not clearly stipulated that the military supervisor cannot lead troops to fight." Li Zaigu retorted.
Su Dingfang's mouth moved slightly and wanted to speak out, but he couldn't find any words for a while.
Li Zaigu glanced at Su Dingfang and then said, "Since General Su knows that I am a military supervisor, it is equivalent to knowing that I am a military supervisor. As a military supervisor, my power is no less than that of the general manager. In other words, I have the right to give orders to you!"
Su Dingfang frowned.
Li Zaigu didn't want to waste time with Su Dingfang anymore, so he picked up the golden fish talisman hanging around his waist: "General Su Dingfang obeyed the order, and this general ordered that General Su Dingfang would lead 500 cavalry to cooperate with the general to attack Eyangling! The remaining 500 cavalry will follow the general to raid Dingxiang City!"
Su Dingfang did not immediately obey the order, but frowned and said, "The defenders of Dingxiang City are no less than those of Eyangling. General Li only led 500 cavalry to go there, and I am afraid there is no chance of winning."
"Don't worry, General Su, I will naturally have a way to capture Dingxiang City." Li Zaigu said disapprovingly, "As long as you obey the orders of this general and cooperate with this general, it will be no problem to take Dingxiang City!
Take a step back and say that even if this general fails to capture Dingxiang City, it can reduce the pressure on you to capture EYangling, so that the Turkic army, who should have increased their troops, have some concerns. For the entire battle situation, there is no harm!"
When he heard Li Zaigu's analysis, he saw that he was full of confidence, Su Dingfang had no choice but to obey the order.
Su Dingfang was also a general who had experienced many battles, so he naturally understood that the fighter planes changed rapidly.
Since Li Zaigu was able to take on this great task at such a young age, and the general manager praised him very much, it means that he is a person of certain strength. In particular, Li Zaigu's second sentences make sense. The troops are divided into two groups, which can attract the attention of the defenders near Dingxiang City, making them have no time to take care of the evil Yangling.
"Su Dingfang receives the order!" Su Dingfang bowed to Li Zaigu.
"good!"
Li Zaigu turned to look at the soldiers and said in a deep voice: "All the soldiers obey the orders. Five hundred soldiers of the front army followed General Su, and the army of generals jointly attacked Eyangling. Five hundred soldiers of the rear army followed this general and took Dingxiang City straight!"
"Abide by the order!"
Although the soldiers did not understand why such an arrangement was made, as soldiers, they must be obeying orders as their duty!
"General Su, look at the sky and the general manager's agreed time to be one hour." Li Zaigu's eyes turned back to Su Dingfang, "Two hours later, I will lead the soldiers to launch an attack on Dingxiang City."
"Okay!" Su Dingfang nodded.
So, Su Dingfang led 500 cavalry toward Eyangling, while Li Zaiguze led another 500 cavalry to turn their horses and heads towards Dingxiang City.
The heavy snow continued, and it would stop at some point.
The night begins to dark.
Li Zaigu ordered Min Pohu to take two soldiers of the Tiance Mansion to explore the way first, and then let the White Dragon Cave slow down. Seeing this, the cavalry behind him slowed down the marching speed.
"General, I have a problem with my subordinates. I need to ask the general for advice." He Wen, who followed Li Zaigu, couldn't help but whisper.
"But it's okay to ask." Li Zaigu turned his head and glanced at He Wen, and said in a plain tone.
"The subordinates don't understand why they don't join forces with the two thousand cavalry led by the general manager to enter the Dingxiang territory through Jiepai Mountain? If so, they can bypass Eyang Ridge and directly attack Dingxiang City." He Wen said incomprehensible.
"If all the soldiers pass Jiepai Mountain and bypass Eyangling and try to directly take Dingxiang City, they will inevitably cause two bad consequences."
Li Zaigu knew that there were many soldiers like He Wen, so he raised his voice a little and deliberately let more soldiers hear it.
"First, the roads of Jiepai Mountain are rugged and difficult to walk, and they cannot accommodate too many people. They delay the speed of the march and are too large, which can easily cause Jie Li's troops to notice.
Second, and most importantly, if all the soldiers and soldiers go through Jiepai Mountain to bypass Eyangling and try to directly seize Dingxiang City, they may be attacked from front and back. At that time, there will be Dingxiang City defenders in front and Eyangling defenders in back, and if they want to retreat from Jiepai Mountain, the road will be rugged and narrow, which will only lead to people and horses trampling on each other."
"So that's it!" He Wen suddenly realized, "Thank you for your advice!"
After a moment, Min Pohu hurriedly came back to report the situation.
"General, the enemy army was found in front of you." Min Pohu said solemnly.
"Where is it?" Li Zaigu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked anxiously.
"It's close to two miles ahead." Min Pohu said.
“How many people are there?”
"I didn't see clearly, but judging from the team's length, it's probably no less than three thousand."
Li Zaigu frowned and began to ponder.
"Why did the enemy appear at this time? Did Jie Li know that our army was going to capture Eyangling and went to reinforce?" Zhang Zhengruo pondered.
"General, what should I do?" He Wen couldn't help asking.
Several other lieutenants looked at Li Zaigu closely and waited for him to make a decision.
Li Zaigu calmly glanced at them, thought for a while, and asked Min Pohu again: "How fast is the enemy's marching?"
Min Pohu thought for a moment: "The marching speed is very slow, and it doesn't look like he is rushing."
Li Zaigu said "hmm" and said thoughtfully: "So, the enemy in front is not coming to our Tang army. If you guess correctly, it should be that Jie Li knew that the Tang army had arrived in Mayi. In order to prevent our army from conquering Eyangling, he increased troops to Eyangling in advance."
He Wen and Zhang Zheng and other captains nodded slightly, expressing their agreement with Li Zaigu's idea.
"General, how should we deal with the enemy troops ahead?" asked a captain.
"Fight and kill it!" Li Zaigu said, his eyes shrinking slightly, and the coldness of the coldness flashed across.
"The enemy army is no less than 3,000, and our army is only 500, can we kill him?" the captain said without confidence.
"The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road!" Li Zaigu's tone sank and said angrily, "If you dare to shake the morale of the army, I will kill him!"
The captain hurriedly jumped off his horse and knelt down on one foot: "God relieve your anger, my subordinates know that they are guilty! I beg the general to forgive my subordinates, and I will convict meritorious!"
"Okay, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service!" Li Zaigu said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for not killing General!" the captain said and stood up.
Li Zaigu glanced at him, turned to the soldiers, and raised his voice and said, "Dear soldiers, three thousand enemy troops have been found in front of me. I decided to fight with him. Do you dare to fight?"
"Dare!" The soldiers raised their heads and said with their chests raised.
These soldiers were carefully selected, and they were all brave and good at fighting.
