In a sense, Zhang Chengdong's strategy was a bit self-defeating.
Originally, it was difficult for Qi Xiaotong, who had lived in southern Xinjiang for a long time, to come up with such a strange method of freezing ice into a city, but he reminded her with practical actions.
You know, it is not difficult to follow the path of the gourd. There is a car in front of us, so we just follow the path.
However, judging from the final consequences, Qi Xiaotong's imitation show was even better than his previous one, directly cutting off the way to escape.
Zhang Chengdong naturally would not have thought that his suggestion this time would actually shoot himself in the foot.
Let’s talk about this action.
Xiaotong believes that this matter must be done without anyone noticing. Although she attaches great importance to it in her heart, she cannot show it on face.
If one's party suddenly disappears for no reason, it will inevitably arouse the other party's vigilance and suspicion, and in this way, it may be discovered.
The best way is to secretly detach an unobtrusive team to go buy it, while your main force stays here to attract the enemy's attention.
Only this coordinated approach of light and darkness can confuse the audience.
"This method is very wonderful, just do what the eldest lady says!
"Sooner rather than later..."
After deciding on the strategy, Hong Tao immediately ordered the execution without any mistakes.
His main force also set up grazing formations left and right, showing a posture that it might attack at any time.
However, they kept thundering and stopped raining, and the drums beat loudly, but no one took any further step.
This move is just to create an opportunity for the team that is acting secretly. How can we really start a fight?
It is not advisable to attack rashly now. We must wait until the small detachment succeeds before starting the war.
…
The gray sky makes it difficult to tell the time of day.
However, pocket watches don't lie.
According to it, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
If it were normal circumstances, Dafeng's large army should have arrived long ago, but now it has still not arrived.
fo
This is not to say that their marching speed is too slow, but that the growing knee-deep snow has seriously affected their marching speed.
This situation is more serious than expected.
The main force is very different from the vanguard force. Their marching method is relatively stable and they are less deliberately pursuing rashness and radicalness.
Food, grass, baggage, and various armaments must all be brought along with you. Therefore, their speed and movement are far inferior to that of the lightly armored vanguard.
Coupled with the obstruction of heavy snow, it is not difficult to understand their current situation.
Judging from the time point alone, it is very likely that there will be a night battle.
This is not nonsense, but a high probability thing.
Assuming that the main force arrives here at five o'clock, it is basically time to eat. Then we took a little rest, and it was already six o'clock.
But at this time, it was already dark and night had fallen, wouldn't it just be a night battle?
So, can we not fight?
That’s okay, just go back the way you came.
You can't set up camp in this freezing wilderness, right? If that were the case, wouldn't this trip have been in vain?
Returning without success or retreating without a fight is definitely not Qi Jing's style.
Moreover, he is not allowed to do that.
He must take advantage of the chaos in the Rakshasa Kingdom and the isolation of the two strongest opponents to win over his opponent. If he misses this opportunity, it will be difficult to encounter him again.
No matter what, this night battle is unavoidable and even inevitable.
Hong Tao can think of this, and Zhang Chengdong can also think of it.
"Great Khan, the enemy troops have come from afar and are suffering from hunger and cold. They are a typical tired army. Although their numbers are large, they are nothing to worry about. At present, we have an impregnable ice city to defend, and we have a place to recharge our batteries. Waiting for work with ease, with such an advantage, why should we be afraid of him?"
"Zhang 'Xiang' means that we can't hold on?"
Zhang Chengdong's face straightened up and he said: "The Great Khan has learned from his mistakes. From the current point of view, staying true is the best policy!"
After a pause, he added: "I'm just worried that your Sheng Cong can't bear Qi Jingjun's sarcasm."
ridicule?
What does this mean...?
Not only Wala Khan, but also the Tatar leader also showed confusion.
Zhang Chengdong explained: "In recent years, we have mostly encountered encounters with the Qi Army, and there have been few offensive and defensive battles. Therefore, the tactics of both sides were relatively straightforward before. But it is different now. The other side attacks while we defend, and the advantage lies with me. Side. If we refuse to fight, the other side will most likely use scolding methods to provoke us and others if they don't have the upper hand. We have to guard against this!"
Scolding array?
When did the Chinese Army have this glorious tradition?
Haha, he is really ignorant this time.
The Khan originally thought that Qi Jiajun, who was known for his justice and might, would act aboveboard. How could he do such vulgar things as a shrew?
Zhang Chengdong’s answer was very concise and straightforward, just four words: A soldier never tires of deceit!
How can there be so much benevolence, righteousness and morality to speak of on the battlefield? As long as it is an effective method, it is a good strategy!
Oh well!
Benhan promises you will! .
Although he nodded outwardly, he still didn't care much in his heart.
Isn't it just a way to greet the ancestors?
I say this every day, how could I be stimulated by these words?
Have you underestimated me?
While muttering, he also felt a hint of curiosity.
The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, so he secretly decided that if he really encountered it, he must take a good look at the excitement of the scolding battle.
Facts have proved that Zhang Chengdong's prediction was very accurate, and his reputation as a dog-headed military advisor was indeed well-deserved.
After Qi Jing arrived and understood the actual situation, he immediately launched an in-depth analysis.
The opponent's route of retreat has been cut off, and a gap has been created in the defensive fortifications. The next step is to think about how to break into the war.
Judging from the actual situation, the other side is waiting for work, while our side is traveling a long distance. The morale of both sides is not on the same starting line.
If it can boost morale while starting a war, that would be the ideal choice.
He thought about it and finally decided on the strategy of scolding the formation.
If the opponent can't stand the stimulation and chooses to challenge, then one's own side can send a general to fight with it.
Then wait for his head to be beheaded and cover up the killing, and then take the city in one go.
This kind of quick victory is most beneficial to oneself.
"Father, do we really want to go to the scolding array?"
"Just some saliva, what's there to value?"
Although, Hong Tao agreed to Qi Xiaotong's request and would not report her coming here. However, he still wanted to hint his adoptive father not to do such funny things.
He felt that it would be shameful to do such a thing, especially in front of women.
However, how could General Qi be swayed by his thoughts? Who can shake the strategy he decided on?
This time, I must scold!
Not just scolding, but also scolding in a certain style and at a certain level.
Qi Jing stroked his beard and smiled, and couldn't help but think about it.
