Chapter 928: Gathering of Military Generals and Strategic Deduction (II)
Chapter 928
"Daqin Ruozan I have fought with him, and from what I know about him, they should already be discussing their actions for the evening, and there is no surprise, the target of their actions tonight should be here. ”
Wang Chong said, suddenly stretching out a finger and pointing at a point on the sand table in the hall.
This finger immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and countless eyes looked towards the place pointed by Wang Chong on the sand table.
......
"The war between us and Datang, the daytime part has ended, but the nighttime part is far from starting......"
At the same time, on the east side of the Talas battlefield, behind the high hills, in a typical Western Turkic golden camp, the Great Qin Ruozan, Du Wusli, Huoshu Guizang, Du Song Mang Buzhi, and other Western Turkic and Uszang generals were gathered, all gathered around the Great Qin Ruozan.
Unlike Wang Chong and the others, what was in front of them at this time was not the topographical sand table of Talas, but the precious map of the continent of the Uszang Empire.
"The current leader of the Tang Dynasty is Gao Xianzhi on the surface, but the actual commander behind the scenes has become the young son of the Wang family that we are familiar with. From what I know about him, he'll definitely make a move tonight. When he was in the southwest, he had already used this trick, and this time he would definitely not let go of this opportunity. ”
Just like Wang Chong's judgment on Daqin Ruozan, Daqin Ruozan also made the same judgment on Wang Chong at this moment, the two old enemies know their opponents too well.
"In addition, in the first battle during the day, we have lost a lot of troops. Unlike Datang, we don't have Tang Li to add, so I judge that Wang Chong's side will definitely regard us as the focus of future attacks. He will continue to use all effective methods to eat away at our forces little by little, until finally we are completely crushed!"
If Wang Chong was here, he would definitely be surprised, because Daqin Ruozan actually explained exactly the strategy he had analyzed to everyone in the main hall of Khonros City.
"Gongjue Jebu, how is the fence I ordered you to build, and the outlying sentry posts?"
Daqin Ruozan turned his head and looked at a Uszang general behind him.
"Back to the prime minister, he has unloaded the goods from the accompanying vehicles, and ordered the soldiers to be building, and it should be about two hours before the construction will be completed. ”
Named Gongjue Jiebu, with a rough face, a scimitar hanging from his waist, and an extremely strong looking general of Uszang.
"Very well, order all the soldiers, arrange the code for the patrol. Also, try to light as many torches as possible outside the defensive line, and anyone who comes close, whether it is an enemy or your own, needs to be strictly guarded. - If you run into your own people, be more vigilant than if you run into enemies!"
Daqin Ruozan said.
"Isn't the big picture too fussy? Just passing by at night, isn't it too careful?"
At that moment, a voice rang out from the tent. Du Wusli carried his hands behind his back, and at first he was still silently listening, but when he heard the back, a pair of wild thick eyebrows gradually wrinkled more and more unconsciously. Daqin Ruozan is the great minister of Uszang, and this point, after a brief contact, Du Wusli also deeply recognized it.
But Daqin Ruozan's appearance of being like a great enemy and waiting for the battle really made Du Wusili disagree. I'm afraid that in the early morning battle, Daqin Ruozan didn't do this.
"Hehe, the general hasn't dealt with that person, so it's normal not to know. That one's way of fighting is different from anyone else's. In the Battle of the Southwest, this man even used Li Daitao's strategy to disguise the Tang people as our Wusi Tibetans and Mengshezhao people several times in succession. At that time, it was raining heavily, so he destroyed several encirclements and suppressions in succession, and the situation of absolute superiority was destroyed by him step by step, which led to the final defeat. ”
Daqin Ruozan smiled indifferently and was not angry.
"Buzz!"
Seeing Daqin Ruozan's words, the generals of the Western Turkic Khanate, such as Du Wusli, Shamushak, and Chekun Pemba, all changed their expressions slightly, and they knew a little bit about the battle in the southwest, but they had never heard of this specific detail.
"This is too despicable!"
Che Kun Benba said fiercely.
The Western Turks are accustomed to the frontal battlefield, real swords and real guns, if the other party will disguise itself as the Western Turks to sneak attack, it is really impossible to prevent.
"Don't blame the general, the prime minister is just cautious, there is nothing wrong with being careful, this is also for the consideration of the whole army, and now that the battlefield is full of corpses, it is very likely that Datang's side has taken measures to strip the armor from those corpses. In this battle, we killed a total of nearly 40,000 people, if the Tang Dynasty sent 40,000 horses disguised as us, taking advantage of the night to sneak attack, with our situation simply unable to support it, the final result will inevitably be heavy losses. ”
The fire tree returned to hide and said in a deep voice.
For Wang Chong's habit of pretending to be an opponent to sneak attack, whether it is Daqin Ruozan or Huoshu Guizang, he has a deep understanding and is deeply vigilant. Du Wu Sili may not understand, but it is impossible for Daqin Ruozan and the Fire Tree to return to Tibet.
Du Wusli didn't speak, but his eyebrows furrowed. If the number of disguised soldiers and horses is small, it is not a problem, but if the number is large, it is different, if that Datang kid is really so cunning, he really has to guard against it.
"This matter will be done according to what you say, and I will let the people below fully cooperate. However, Datang can sneak attack us, why can't we attack them, rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to attack instead of defending. ”
Du Wusli said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, I am completely in agreement with the general on this point. ”
Daqin Ruozan smiled indifferently, flicked his sleeves lightly, turned his head, and his eyes fell back on the map of the continent on the hollow table in the camp tent:
"Although the Datang people have strong combat effectiveness and outstanding art of war, more than half of them are mercenaries, and there are not many real Datang/armies at all, in addition, they also have a huge weakness, if they can detain their weakness, they will be able to 'cut off one of their arms', even if the Datang people still have 100,000 soldiers and horses, they are not afraid. ”
"What weakness?"
Daqin Ruozan's words instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the camp, and Du Wu Sili, Huo Ba Sangye, Che Kun Pemba, Shamu Shak and others looked over one after another.
"Crossbow!"
Daqin Ruozan smiled slightly and spit out these two words.
......
"Crossbow!"
Daqin Ruozan would not know, and at the same time, in the hall of the city lord of Talas, Wang Chong said the same two words confidently in front of all the generals.
"The crossbow is the important weapon of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court has always been very strong in this regard. This time we traveled thousands of miles to support the Talas, and a considerable number of them were killed by the arrows of the crossbows. Dachen Ruozan is known as the Wisdom Minister, and it is impossible not to notice this. If Daqin Ruozan launches a night attack, there is no surprise that his target must be a crossbow!"
Wang Chong's words were loud, and he really knew Daqin Ruozan too well.
A night attack, unless it is a large-scale war, the damage caused must be very limited, so it is generally a strategic target to sneak attack, so Daqin Ruozan will definitely not miss this opportunity.
"Lord Duhu, the crossbow is not trivial, if the Tibetans and the Western Turks choose the crossbow as the target, do we need to consider withdrawing the crossbow to the city of Talas to avoid excessive losses?"
Cheng Qianli said tentatively.
The crossbow is not unique to Wang Chong, the Anxi Protector Army is equipped with a large number of crossbows, but the crossbow has always been an auxiliary role, and it has never been an independent army like Wang Chong, and a detailed division of labor is carried out. On the battlefield, there was a world of difference between the power of Wang Chong's crossbow army and the crossbow army of the Anxi Du Protector Army, and the feelings of the two sides were completely different.
If Daqin Ruozan chooses Wang Chong's ballista army as the target of the sneak attack, it will definitely have a huge impact on the Tang Dynasty/army in the city of Talas.
However, after all, the ballista army belongs to the army under the independent command of Wang Chong, even if Cheng Qianli is the deputy capital protector of the Anxi Capital Protector, he has no right to interfere, he can only give appropriate advice, in the army, it is taboo to interfere beyond his authority!
"No need!"
Wang Chong smiled and didn't care:
"The steel line of defense must cooperate with the ballista unit to produce a deterrent. Moreover, it is not ruled out that Abumu/Sling and Dachen Ruozan will launch a large-scale attack at night, and the ballista can only be counterattacked in time. And if there is no ballista, how can you lure Daqin Ruozan over?"
Hearing the last sentence, the eyes of everyone in the hall lit up.
"It seems that Lord Metropolitan has already made arrangements. ”
Gao Xianzhi stroked three strands of beard, realized something, looked at Wang Chong and said with a smile.
"Whatever is pre-planned, it will be wasted, since we know that Daqin Ruozan will attack the crossbow, it is impossible not to be unprepared, and in addition, the Us-Tibetans can attack us, and we can also attack them!"
Wang Chong said calmly.
When Gao Xianzhi heard Wang Chong's words, he also nodded secretly. Heroes cherish heroes, although Wang Chong is much younger than him, but in various strategic thinking, he is completely at the level of a top general. A lot of ideas, countermeasures, completely thought of with him. This is something that Gao Xianzhi couldn't feel in any other Anxi Protector general.
"Lord Tsugo-sama and I have thought of a piece, preemptive strike, and then strike at others. Only offense is the best solution. ”
Gao Xianzhi's eyes lit up.
Gao Xianzhi has never been a general who defends the city, and active offense is his consistent characteristic, which is why Gao Xianzhi resonated when he heard that Wang Chong was going to attack.
"However, there is one more thing that Lord Du Hu has to guard against, as far as I know, Daqin Ruozan has fought with you before, and he knows your combat skills and tactics very well, and this person has always been smart, he must have expected you to attack, and prepared early. If Lord Tsugo-sama wants to attack, he will have to think twice. ”
Gao Xianzhi said.
"Hehe, my lord is too worried, the soldier is treacherous, Daqin Ruozan only knows my past art of war, and does not know my current art of war, in order to adapt the way to local conditions, there is neither impermanence nor impermanence, if there is no fixed move, how can the other party guard against it? No matter how Daqin Ruozan is prepared, it is useless. ”
Wang Chong laughed and said.
