Chapter 381: Ambush

"Extremely arrogant!" Vice Admiral Gao said with a dark face: "It's like I don't have anyone in Nanshang, and I go straight in with a spear with a large army, and I don't have any fear at all!"

"Yes, arrogant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, how could the 700,000 troops of the Western Qi Dynasty dare to go straight to our southern merchants and resist millions of soldiers? Such a fearless act must be emboldened. Where does the confidence come from? It must be in the suppression of the number of troops!" Zhuo Yijia said, pausing: "So, I dare to guess that Jiang Jin was probably also invaded this time. ”

"What does the general mean is that Xiqi and Jiang Jin are allied?" Staff Officer Chen stood up, and he knew what Zhuo Yijia meant.

He looked at Zhuo Yijia, and there was a shock that could not be hidden between his eyebrows. Of course, he has many years of experience in marching and is resourceful. When the enemy takes one step, he can guess the next three. However, it was only limited to the two sides of the war in the army, and did not directly put his vision on the entire Nanshang.

Thinking like this, looking at Zhuo Yijia's eyes changed.

"I'm not sure, I have to wait for news from the capital. So at present, we can only rely on our own army to resist the enemy in the Northland. Zhuo Yijia said, walked to the table, and looked at the terrain map placed on it: "After analyzing the military strength of the two armies, let's now discuss the battle plan." Zhuo Yijia said, holding the iron needle and wood chips on the side and inserting them in a few places:

"The cities east and west have been defended. General Zhuo retreated eastward with less than 700 remnants, and his life and death were uncertain. General Zhuo Xiao originally led 900 left wing troops to ambush in the cypress forest, and it should have retreated east with General Zhuo. There is also a deputy general Chen under General Zhuo, before General Zhuo left the city, he sent him to take 300 people out of the city to lurk and reconnoitre. Let's talk about the form of our army. Our army of 500,000 people, except for the 200,000 people who are now in Liaobei City, I mean, the 100,000 soldiers in Anjiang and the 200,000 soldiers in Zhenzhou were ordered first, and all of them were transferred to Zhenzhou City to stand by. Hold your ground for the time being. All grain and grass supplies were transferred to Zhengyang. Zhengyang is only fifty miles away from Liaobei, and Zhenzhou is close to Zhengyang, so if there is a change, the movement of the army is also flexible. What do the generals think?"

For the main general who suddenly appeared, it was a woman again. After all, it was King Huairong who personally ordered the troops, and everyone could not say that they despised it, but they all had some concerns or doubts about their attitudes. Now that she heard that she was ordered to be in danger, her step-by-step analysis and arrangement turned out to be ingenious and thoughtful calculations, which were strategies that even soldiers who fought all year round did not necessarily have. At this time, when I heard it, I couldn't help but have some doubts or concerns, and nodded in response.

"This kind of cloth is excellent, but will it be too dangerous to leave us 200,000 to defend the city and resist 800,000 enemies?" Vice General Zhang thought for a while, and then asked.

"The march is all about surviving in the face of danger. Our total army in Liaobei is only 500,000, and if we go together, once we lose the battle, we will die. The back hand must be kept, and the 800,000 army, even if they come in a hurry, will they really be reckless and attack the city without any plan? They may be arrogant to us, but they will also have counsellors. Zhuo Yijia looked at Vice General Zhang and said, then turned his head to look at the generals: "The number of troops is important, but it is not among the five keys to victory on the march, one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law." The military and politics, the generals, the right time, the right place, and the right people, we are not bad. There are wolves in front and 300,000 reinforcements behind, so what's the fear?"

Zhuo Yijia finished analyzing it in one breath, and his head was the Tao, but he also made sense. The important thing is to boost morale. Let our generals feel that 200,000 against 800,000 is not a sure defeat.

Zhuo Yijia looked at the people in front of him, his doubts gradually dissipated, and his eyes changed when he saw him. She knew that if she didn't have the ability to convince them, they would always be suspicious of her.

The general who leads the troops, the sergeant listens to my plan, and he will win if he uses it, and the sergeant does not listen to my plan, and he will lose if he uses it.

"What the general said is doable. Staff Officer Chen opened his mouth first, he looked at Zhuo Yijia and nodded.

Zhuo Yijia smiled gratefully, and hooked her lips that were exposed, knowing that Staff Officer Chen had officially recognized her position as the main general. At this time, he is the first to speak for her and win the hearts of her people.

"Although there is a huge disparity in the number of sergeants between the enemy and us, the place of battle, on the territory of our country, in terms of terrain, formation, design, attack and retreat, etc., is our advantage. The location is favorable, and we all occupy it. Once the other party is tricked, it is the terrain of 'encirclement', and the front cannot be advanced or retreated. Staff Officer Chen succinctly analyzed the forms of the enemy and us.

Staff Officer Chen was originally a strategist among the lieutenant generals, and after hearing what he said, all the soldiers felt that it was feasible for each of them, so they no longer hesitated.

In this way, listen to the general. Vice General Zhang nodded and looked at Zhuo Yijia's response.

"Do the other generals have no objections?" Zhuo Yijia stood in front of the table, supporting the table with both hands, looking at the soldiers in front of him.

The soldiers nodded: "No objection." ”

Zhuo Yijia nodded: "Then let's start discussing the battle plan." I have sent people to sprinkle the river at the eastern, western, and northern gates. In the winter season, the walls soon froze over. They did not break through the east and west gates, and they would inevitably concentrate their firepower on the north city gate, and as soon as the north city gate was broken, the Western Qi army would enter the city. Then they were allowed to enter the city. ”

"What do you mean, the general's empty city plan?" Hearing this, Vice Admiral Gao looked at Zhuo Yijia and asked. Last night, he retreated east to the barren mountain with his soldiers, and rushed back early in the morning to discuss the battle decision, but he didn't know Zhuo Yijia's proposition.

"Yes. Zhuo Yijia didn't speak, and Staff Officer Chen nodded: "Empty city plan, we will introduce the army into the city." They attacked the north gate next, and we pretended not to know, and still guarded the east and west gates of the city they attacked. But ......" Staff Officer Chen said, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Zhuo Yijia:

"If there are only 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers, the empty city plan is certainly feasible. But if an army of 700,000 presses the border and breaks through this city gate, how can we besiege it with an empty city?"

The 700,000 army broke the north city gate, and the empty city plan is not easy to sing. Of course, he drove straight into Nancheng and went straight to Nanshang.

"If one city is not enough, there will be several cities. Zhuo Yijia replied, she never thought that a city could trap an army of 700,000: "They are divided into two parts, and we will fight them one by one." can't hurt his vitality, but he must also frustrate Xiqi's morale. Cut down one by one, after the ambush of city by city, half a life can always be dragged to death. The 20,000 soldiers led by General Gao were ambushed in the barren mountains to the east, but they were done?"

"It's done. General Gao nodded: "According to the general's orders, the two generations who have been brought for ten days have stood on the high ground." It has been snowing heavily for several days, and the snow pit has been dug last night. ”

"Good. Zhuo Yijia moved his gaze to the map of the table in front of him.
