Chapter 733 sneak attack(1/2)
The vast land of Liaodong is filled with the breath of spring.
More than 100,000 troops must rely on the water source to march, otherwise they will collapse in less than three days.
The river water on the right is gurgling, and several water birds are floating on the water surface. One of them suddenly plunged into the water surface and did not see it for a long time. When it comes out of the water again, it has a fish in its mouth.
The water bird raised its head and tried hard to swallow the fish. The companion suddenly shouted and flew away, but it could not move because it was swallowing. An arrow passed through the side of its body.
"Hahahaha! Every bird and a fish, who has my ability?"
A soldier happily used his spear to hook the water bird, but when he hooked it, the water bird became more and more farther away. The sergeant's cursing voice came from afar.
They all stood alone on a hillside and witnessed this unsuccessful hunt.
"Where is the Tang army?"
He was over fifty years old, but he was in good spirits. He frowned slightly and asked at the generals beside him.
"Jieza, the Tang army's left 30,000 troops were divided after they arrived at the country, and now they are not sure where they are."
"Incompetent!" Du Dan said coldly.
He was the commander-in-chief of Beifu Yucheng, and he shouldered the responsibility of guarding the right wing of Goryeo. Beifu Yucheng has an important position and can support half of Goryeo's rivers and mountains. If he can take charge of Beifu Yucheng, he can see that this person's method is excellent.
During the years of guarding Beifuyu City, Dudan made a ruthless move and obeyed the tribes around him. For this reason, Quan Gai Suwen praised him many times and even awarded his wife and children many times. The so-called wife is noble by husband, which is what is said. It’s just that the official position is too easy, and Dudan’s children are not good at being. The only interesting thing is the younger son.
Thinking of his youngest son, a gentleness hangs on the corner of Du Dan’s mouth. After defeating the Tang army this time, he is ready to go back to the field, return to Pyongyang to become an official, and then play with his grandchildren. Wouldn’t it be better?
"The Tang army was unstoppable all the way. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have come out to rescue him."
One general complained, while others agreed quite well.
"The leader of the Tang army's left side was the broom star. He was the only one who led the way at a young age and is now full of energy. The young man is proud of his youth, and I am old, and my skills are all the only ones who are old and cunning..."
Du Dan's words caused a burst of laughter.
"Jiza, you are not old. Last time the Khitans crossed the border, you killed more than ten brave soldiers by one, which made those Khitans frightened. This is called old? So we are all old."
"That time I remember that Jayza took me to hunt and encountered a bear. Jayza hit the vital point of the bear with three arrows in a row, and then ended the bear with one knife. How might it be?"
All of them looked ahead, and just said casually, which aroused the morale of his subordinates. This ability was extraordinary. Of course, some of the reinforcements plundered along the way were dissatisfied with him. They were staring at him at this moment, hoping that he could make a mistake, and then pulled him off the horse.
This is a scheming that only happened in the late years of the dynasty!
Du Shan said in a deep voice: "The news from Pyongyang is that Jia Ping'an has been working under the command of veterans before, saying that he has made great achievements in combat. This time he led the army alone, not only him, but even Li Jie and others are as powerful as a rock. What's the matter with that gunpowder? He only said that the explosion was ignited, and the burning brothers were suffering. Be careful of such weapons... However, the one who should be careful most is Li Jie. Li Jie, who used troops to gain the essence of Li Jing. He was as motionless as a mountain, and he was the Nine Heavens Thunder."
Seeing that his generals were a little discouraged, he couldn't help but smile, "I tell you to wait for this, just to ask you not to underestimate the enemy. When Cao Cao led his army to conquer the Eastern Wu, he was known as a million-dollar army. He was so aggressive that he was finally defeated. If he could have been more cautious and less proud at the beginning, he would have been able to pacify the Eastern Wu in one battle, which shows that this person would not be proud."
These words were meaningful, and the generals expressed their opinions one after another.
"Don't worry, I will never underestimate the enemy."
They all nodded, and in the spring breeze, their beards were blown together, messy. He combed them with his hands a few times, but the more he combed them, the more he became, the messier he got. Finally, he gave up with a smile.
"Calculate according to the distance. Li Ji's army is still on the road, so I want to see the quality of the Tang army."
Du Dan's words aroused the bloody courage of the generals and asked for battle one after another. Some even said that they were willing to take 10,000 people to raid the Tang army's left-road army, and they would never return. This was stimulated by the Tang army's war examples back then, and they were determined to replicate the success of the Tang army. But they didn't think about how strict the rules in the Tang army were?
In Li Ji's military tactics, there are rules for guarding everywhere, whether it is camping, marching, or even saiying. According to these rules, the Tang army can be invincible. That is why some people call Li Jing the God of War.
Qiu Hong bowed, "Jiza, Xiaguan wants to lead the army to explore."
Qiu Hong's calm personality was just a matter of seeing that he asked for his order, so he pondered for a moment.
"Okay, I will go and return quickly."
Five thousand men were just the size of a sentry spy, and they didn't dare to approach the 30,000 troops on the left side of the Tang Dynasty.
"Receive the order."
Qiu Hong led five thousand people to hurry up and stared at the Tang army before the small city pass.
This is right behind the domestic city, and you can observe the Tang army calmly.
Qiu Hong took the man to touch him.
"Swede Detective."
When he encountered a scout in the Tang army in front, Qiu Hong knew that he could not move forward any longer, so he ordered the scout to come out.
There are more than forty small cities under Beifuyu City. Qiu Hong is the garrison of one of them. He was too calm and could not be promoted. But his steady style of action has reached Du Dan's eyes, and he has been observing him because he has no chance to fight.
This time is a god-given opportunity. Once he performs well, he will be able to ascend all the way after turning around.
What kind of calmness is just a personality, but the greed in human nature is deeply rooted.
Five thousand men were repairing in a valley waiting for the scouts' reward. Because they found the scouts of the Tang army, they could not make fires. They just ate dry food and fell asleep.
"Please keep a stare at the surroundings and don't slack off." Qiu Hong always felt something was wrong. He looked around. The birds did not chirp, and the beasts shrank in their nests and dared not move. This was a sign of the journey of a large army. The five thousand troops suppressed the mountain, and more than 100,000 troops set out on the battle, which was said to be a waste of grass.
The scout went up to the top of the mountain to observe, and sent people around him to detectives. Qiu Hong felt that such a arrangement was impeccable.
Just when he was full of confidence, Jia Ping'an took someone to touch him.
"How about the enemy?"
Jia Ping'an stood on the mountain bag and felt that the biggest problem was that he could not observe the distance. If there was a drone, he could traverse the land of Liaodong.
"The enemy troops touched under our noses for five thousand people. Manager, why don't we turn back and eat them? It's a good start at least!"
Yuan Wanqing smiled with his beard.
The marching Sima Qian Hong nodded, "Catch some prisoners, so that we can still understand the details of the enemy."
The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy" will lead to victory in a hundred battles. Everyone who joins the army knows this principle.
Xie Bing glanced at Jia Ping'an and saw that the manager squinted his eyes and looked ahead without expressing his opinion. He knew that he was not satisfied with his advice.
Jia Ping'an said dissatisfiedly: "You just want to get off the ball, but once the enemy is alarmed, how to fight? You still have to deal with it. Since that's the case, why not give them a ruthless move. Even if they can't be destroyed, they have to bite a piece of fat meat."
Xie Bing was shocked, "Mr. Jia's intention is... to use these five thousand people to paralyze the enemy?"
Jia Ping'an nodded, "It is impossible for five thousand people to be killed in all directions. Once someone escapes, the army will get news. If I don't move the five thousand people, all of them will be paralyzed. Then our army will cover up the killing... This is an opportunity."
Then Jia Ping'an made people cautiously contact the enemy scouts, but they wanted to show the invincible power of the Tang army. This request made the scouts roll their eyes, but they still had to follow them carefully.
The 20,000 army quietly touched it.
I met many scouts along the way, and Duan's cautiousness showed this. The Tang army was almost discovered several times, but under Jia Ping'an's dispatch, they were all safe.
When you approach the enemy camp, you don’t have to look, just by listening, you can hear the huge movement.
The war horses neighed, the sheep following the army were bleating, and the sound of soldiers talking were called gongs and drums, and the flags were waving!
Of course, the army of more than 100,000 could not hide, and they didn't want to hide their ears, so this lively scene appeared.
Jia Ping'an was observing the movements of the enemy. It was very embarrassing now. In order to avoid the investigation of the enemy scouts on the way, the army was divided several times. He has only brought 6,000 people here at the moment.
Look at the enemy's camp, there are uninterrupted searches outside, and infantry in the camp are constantly patrolling along the edge of the camp... It is impeccable.
Du Dan is indeed a general who can stand on his own. Such a layout is frustrating.
"Maintain, the enemy is flawless, I'm afraid it's only halfway to attack." The famous talented man Yuan Wanqing scoured his heart and thought of this method.
In fact, Yuan Wanqing is not stupid, but this man will be arrogant when he is too smart, and then he will not like anyone else. His verbal arrogance is just one thing, and this guy has done one thing in history. The country's conquests are famous, such as Li Jingye's later counter-in-law against Wu Zhou. A proclamation against Wu Zhao was unprecedented and triggered a huge response. There are so many famous quotes in it, and you can shame the so-called masters of the literary world by taking it out alone. For example, the sentence "Please look at the world in today's realm, which is the world of the world." The entire proclamation is wonderful, starting from Wu Mei's various charges to the end of his passion, which makes people feel excited when they read it.
Yuan Wanqing wrote a manifesto to attack Goryeo, which mentioned the stupidity of the Goryeo people and did not know the principle of relying on Yalu Water to defend. It can be seen that immortality is not possible.
Jia Ping'an glanced at him, and Yuan Wanqing was happy, thinking that the manager valued me? He did not let down his repeated performances along the way.
He didn't think about it. From the beginning, his arrogance to now that Jia Ping'an looked at him in front of him, he was so humble.
Jia Ping'an conquered the enemy step by step by step, and also conquered the generals under his command who felt that this person was too low-born.
Looking at the soldiers, they all had trust in their eyes when they looked at him. With just a wave of his hand, even if the six thousand people knew they would be defeated, they would rush forward without hesitation.
This is the realm of the general.
“Squat.”
Jia Ping'an only said two words.
The Goryeo people squatted in the valley, and the Tang army also squatted in the valley. However, the difference is that the Goryeo people were confused and did not know that they had been discovered long ago, while the Tang army was unaware of it.
At night, Jia Ping'an was observing the enemy camp.
He needs to find a flaw, otherwise he will have to wait for the enemy to attack and attack halfway.
Without lights, the entire camp was like a giant beast nesting there, and every breath made the earth tremble.
More than 100,000 people, the only opportunity they can take advantage of is their inconsistency.
These reinforcements are complex, even if they have high prestige, they cannot use their fingers like arms in a short period of time. If used properly, they can bite a piece of fat meat.
He had seen the enemy's camp during the day, and it was very neat, but there was a problem that the main general's tent in the camp was not strictly protected. According to the Tang Dynasty's teachings, that is, Li Jing's military tactics, the main general's camp must be guarded in the middle when camping, and no space must be left.
The more he understood the operation of the Tang army, the more Jia Ping'an praised Li Jing. The Tang Dynasty's military disciplines before Li Jing were messy and a bit like a rash. After Li Jing was given an important task, he carefully compiled military tactics, including everything from training to marching to fighting. This was the founder of the Tang army, so the late emperor respected Li Jing not because of his friendship, but because he was shocked by such great talents.
Jia Ping'an waved and Li Jingye came up.
"Brother, are you going to attack?"
Li's professionalism left Jia Ping'an speechless.
"Did you see it? The enemy is right in front of the right. You take the people to see the truth and reality."
To be continued...
