After setting up the camp, Li Yunxiao looked at the general sitting below and said in a serious tone:
"Generals, let me tell you something that I am not afraid of embarrassment. I, Li Yunxiao, have never fought in a war. You are all my seniors. I, Li Yunxiao, can achieve this position only because of your majesty. In terms of emotion and reason, I want to hear it first. Do you have any good ideas to attack Dingxiang?"
Cheng Yaojin said indifferently: "Brother, fighting is actually very simple. Let me say it first. I suggest waiting for a few days and directly leading the army to attack. We have grenades. What are we afraid of?"
"Soldiers, just rush forward. We are almost there, and throw the grenades inside. Even with shields, we can't defend against so many grenades!"
Cheng Yaojin's words were rude but Hou Junji on the side also smiled lightly and said:
"What General Cheng said is absolutely true. The city of Dingxiang is not strong to begin with. It has always been supported by Turkic cavalry. Now it is roughly estimated that there are only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses defending the city."
"And after hearing about the crusade, their morale will definitely be low and their fighting spirit will be low. In this case, how can they stop my Tang Dynasty tiger and wolf army?"
"I dare to say that if our army attacks the outside of Dingxiang City, the Turkic army will be frightened and abandon their troops to pray for war. By then, Hahaha... Jieli Khan will definitely be in Marshal Li's pocket. "
Li Chunfeng chuckled at the side and said: "Chunfeng feels that the words of General Hou and General Cheng are wrong. You must know that underestimating the enemy has been a taboo since ancient times, and you must not act recklessly."
"If this is the case, even if we capture Dingxiang, how much will our Tang Dynasty troops lose?"
"Oh? Then what do you think?"
Li Chunfeng said calmly: "Jieli has been able to operate in Dingxiang for more than ten years, so he must be strong. And if there is enough food and grass in the city, he will definitely defend without fighting."
"If this battle lasts for several months, won't our Tang army be defeated?"
"Therefore, Chunfeng believes that our army should formulate a good strategy and it is not advisable to rashly attack from the front."
Hou Junji hummed softly and said: "Our Tang army has a hundred thousand troops, and ten thousand grenades are ready to go. If we can't win the Dingxiang, do we still have the nerve to go back and face your Majesty?"
Li Chunfeng replied: "Because of this, we have to be more rigorous."
"you..."
"Okay!" Li Yunxiao looked at the two people who were about to argue and waved to interrupt.
"I think what my brother Li said makes sense. There is a saying in the art of war. The only way to win the battle is to rely on numbers of soldiers and surprise."
Seeing Hou Junji still looking at him, Li Yunxiao frowned slightly: "What's the matter? You seem to be very dissatisfied?"
Hou Junji nodded: "You and Li Chunfeng are brothers, so naturally you should talk to him when discussing."
"Then you are wrong. I admit that it is indeed towards my brother Li, but fighting is not a child's play. I just think he is right."
Come and see.
Li Yunxiao spread out the map and pointed at two places.
"It will take at least five days for us to get to Dingxiang from here. During this period, Jieli will definitely strengthen the defense of Dingxiang. Even if there are grenades in the frontal attack, we may not be able to win it in a short time, right?"
"If we are held back by them, how long will it take to transport food reserves in such a cold weather? What other things will happen in it?"
"Then, according to what the commander said, how to capture Dingxiang?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and slid his finger on the map.
"Simple, as the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit. Since they all think that we have more soldiers and will attack from the front, then we won't attack from the front!"
"Brother Hou, Brother Cheng, listen to the order!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"The two of you lead an army of 90,000 people into the clouds through a detour. If everything goes well, not only can Jieli relax his vigilance, but he can also sneak attack Dingxiang at any time."
"As for me, Brother Li, I will lead an army of 10,000 people to build momentum in the front to distract their attention. When you arrive at your position, we can launch a surprise attack and capture Dingxiang!"
Cheng Yaojin touched his chin: "Actually, that's what I thought. It's you, brother Yunxiao, who can think of the same thing as me!"
Li Chunfeng chuckled at the side and said: "Hmm~~This method is very wonderful and can greatly reduce casualties."
Hou Junji frowned, staring at him closely as if he was meeting Li Yunxiao for the first time.
This method is indeed feasible. In this case, Dingxiang will definitely be in panic during the sneak attack, and it may not take long to capture it.
"Hasn't this kid been studying business? When did he learn the art of war?"
Hou Junji, who was originally not optimistic about Li Yunxiao, now gave him a thumbs up: "The commander-in-chief's plan is better than that of his subordinates, and his subordinates are sincerely convinced."
Li Yunxiao waved his hand: "As for whether you are sincere or not, just listen to me. The whole army will be in high spirits for three days and prepare to sneak over..."
Several people agreed and organized their troops outside, while Li Yunxiao was preparing to go to Bingzhou, which was dozens of miles away.
It's my first time to lead an army in a war. Before leaving, I might even see some gadgets to take back as a souvenir.
As for the art of war, he has never studied it, but he knows how to be the sixth person. If he can make a sneak attack, he will never do it head-on.
While walking, Li Yunxiao suddenly heard the cry of a child in the distance, and then a delicate-looking child looked behind him and bumped into Li Yunxiao.
boom!
Li Yunxiao didn't move at all, but the child staggered back a few steps.
After bumping into Li Yunxiao, the child quickly saluted Li Yunxiao: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Just as the child was about to leave, Li Yunxiao grabbed her.
"Hiss... you are... I seem to have seen you before. Are you Wu'er?"
Li Yunxiao touched his chin and looked at it, falling into memories.
At this moment, the shouts of two teenagers came from behind.
"I told you to be disobedient. Tell me where the gem is hidden!"
"That's right. Even if you have gems, you don't know how to bring them to your brother. Don't you know that an elder brother is like a father!?"
"Huh? Yuan Qing Yuanshuang? Why are you here?"
Li Yunxiao found it really interesting. While walking around, he could meet people from the warrior Xun family.
And judging from their appearance, are they bullying the future empress?
It was the young Wu Zetian and now Wu Zhao who bumped into Li Yunxiao.
Although Wu Zhao is still dressed as a man, there is really no way to hide his appearance. Unless Li Yunxiao is an idiot, no matter how he dresses, he can tell that he is a girl.
Seeing the two men chasing after them with evil looks on their faces, the young Wu Zhao hid behind Li Yunxiao.
Yuan Qing and Yuan Shuang came to Li Yunxiao panting. Yuan Qing pointed at Li Yunxiao's nose and shouted: "Who are you? You can call our names, so get out of here!"
Yuan Shuang also echoed: "Yes, get out of here!"
"Oops? Little bastard, even if you are forgetful, how can you still speak dirty words? What a shame for you!" Li Yunxiao rolled up his sleeves.
Bang bang!
Two slaps were directed towards Yuan Qing and Yuan Shuang. They spun around several times and were both stunned.
"You...you dare to hit me?"
"Yeah, why did I hit you?"
"You dare to hit me!?"
Snapped!
Li Yunxiao slapped Yuan Qing again: "Hit, what happened?"
