Chapter 270: Li Chengqian's deployment
{Received Rage +199......}
{Received Resentment from Li Tai +199......}
Listen for the system prompt.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Li Tai, Li Tai.
Can't you just do something serious?
Is this crown prince so tempting?
Seeing his appearance, Changsun Chong couldn't help but ask from the side: "Your Highness, but what questions can't be figured out?" ”
"Nope."
Li Chengqian shook his head, then walked to the sand table in the room, and said with both hands on the desk: "Come to think of it, the teacher has now arrived at the southern battlefield. ”
After sending the letter to Chang'an, Li Chengqian began to make intensive arrangements.
Since he wants to take revenge, he must defeat Zhao Youlin on the battlefield first.
So, after consulting with Li Tao overnight, he formulated a strategy to slow down the west and slow down the south.
The so-called westward slow, in which the west self represents the Liangzhou legion attacking from west to east.
The western terrain of the Xi nationality is flat, which is conducive to the Tang Dynasty to open a battle formation and launch a numerical superiority attack.
But don't forget, the flat terrain is also suitable for the Xi people to attack.
And to a certain extent, Datang can't get any bargain on the flat terrain.
After all, among the three armies in the northeast, there are too many cavalry.
Especially the light cavalry of the Khitan and Xia tribes, they can be said to have made the Liangzhou army suffer a lot in the early war.
Although the Liangzhou Legion also has cavalry, most of them have only been cultivated in recent years, and their combat power is inevitably inferior to the opponent's perennial growth on horseback.
Besides, touching a nail to a nail is something that only a fool would do.
Therefore, Li Chengqian formulated a strategy of slowing down the west.
In the west, Li Xiaogong led the Liangzhou infantry and slowly advanced to the east.
And Nankyu is also a tactic formulated after consulting with Li Tao.
As mentioned above, the Xi people are hidden in the mountains, and the south is mostly mountains and forests.
Of course, Su Dingfang did it, and led the Bingzhou army all the way to a place less than a hundred miles away from the Xi king's tent.
But later, he was still beaten back by the other party using the terrain advantage.
From here, it is not difficult to see that although in the mountains, the cavalry advantage of the northeast three times can no longer be brought into play, but they still have geographical advantages.
They are familiar with every valley in this great mountain, and they are familiar with every cave in this great mountain.
If you want to win in a place that the other party is familiar with, there is only one way.
It is nothing more than making the other party's geographical advantage unable to be brought into play.
And this, it is necessary to take advantage of Su Dingfang's characteristics of being good at guerrilla warfare.
Li Jing is a master who dares to chase more than 100,000 people with thousands of horsemen.
And Su Dingfang, as his vanguard officer, how can he be bad in this regard?
Therefore, after Li Chengqian discussed with Li Tao, he tailored a tactical system for Su Dingfang.
It was nothing more than letting Li Tao go to the south to command the slow advance of the Bingzhou Army.
And Su Dingfang himself personally led 5,000 men and horses, and he could play wherever he wanted, and the command of the operation was in his own hands.
This time, it can be said that Su Dingfang's seal has been completely lifted.
On the first day of Li Tao's arrival in the Bingzhou Army, Su Dingfang ran away with 5,000 men.
Li Chengqian's layout is unreasonable and not discussed.
But after the war again, it did have an unexpected effect.
First of all, the Liangzhou Army in the west, they changed their arrogant demeanor in the past, steadily and steadily, step by step, and regained back the territory they occupied before and then lost one after another.
Xi side.
Zhao Youlin originally planned to use cavalry to harass the Liangzhou Army according to the previous deployment, and then send an infantry army to cover up the killing.
Who knew that this time, their cavalry did not have an effect at all, not to mention, but also crashed headlong into the iron plate formation that Li Xiaogong had planned a long time ago.
The last time they were chased and beaten by this group of guys, these Liangzhou pawns were already holding their breath.
At this time, the foot soldiers of the Liangzhou Legion can find an outlet.
On the plains, he had a needle-to-wheat duel with the other party.
The combat strength of the Liangzhou Legion does not need to be repeated, even if it is a foot soldier at this moment, he is not afraid of the cavalry.
The whole battlefield was in shambles.
Everywhere there were Xi cavalry who were pulled off their horses.
Everywhere there were Xi cavalry who were overturned by people and horses.
On the battlefield, as long as you fall, it's basically the end of the game.
Especially when they are facing the Liangzhou Legion, a hundred battle legions.
The Liangzhou soldiers almost vented their anger on these cavalrymen, and as soon as the Xi cavalry fell, they swarmed up and chopped them into pulp.
The war began and ended, but only for an hour.
But within this hour, the three thousand horsemen sent by Zhao Youlin to attack and disturb, except for a few hundred people who broke out of the encirclement, almost all the rest of them died here.
When Zhao Youlin, who was in command in the rear, learned of this, he was immediately furious.
"Rice buckets, garbage, it's all a bunch of waste."
Zhao Youlin threw the tea bowl in his hand on the herald's face.
"Three thousand cavalry, a full three thousand cavalry."
"Even if they are riding pigs to fight, they must run faster than people, right?"
"But knowing that there is an ambush ahead, I still want to confront the enemy head-on."
"Even if it's a pig to command, I'm afraid I won't be able to do such a brainless thing!"
Zhao Youlin was really angry, and the leaders of the three generals who scolded in the military tent did not dare to lift it.
Although he was reused and trusted by King Xi, he was still a native of the Central Plains from the south after all.
How could these people treat him as one of their own?
At this moment, Zhao Youlin scolded them, these people didn't show anything on their faces, but their hearts were already full of resentment.
But that's not the only bad news.
Before the fire was turned off, a soldier ran in to report it.
"Report to the marshal, the eastern Khitan grain transport team was suddenly attacked by Tang thieves, the grain and grass were lost, and the 800 soldiers who transported the grain and grass were all wiped out."
"What?"
Zhao Youlin jumped up directly on the spot.
"Where did this Tang thief come from? How could it suddenly appear on the eastern side of our army? ”
He craned his neck and shouted, "Who is the person in charge of monitoring the movements of the Tang thief?" ”
"Why didn't you even report such a big thing as Tang thieves infiltrating our army's eastern front?"
Look at me, people, and I'll look at you.
The last Khitan general stood up and said, "Commander, the officers and soldiers of our army have indeed not monitored the Tang thief's movements." ”
"Could it be that the Tang thief in the east fell from the sky?"
Zhao Youlin pointed directly at the Khitan general and said: "Pull it down, take twenty blames, and set an example!" ”
As soon as he heard this, the Khitan general was not happy: "Dashuai, I am a Khitan general, and you have no right to punish me." ”
"No right to punish you?"
Zhao Youlin sneered: "This marshal is the commander of the three armies appointed by the king, whether it is Khitan or Xi, it is all under the jurisdiction of Benshuai. ”
"If you are not convinced, you can go to my king to sue me."
When the words fell, he waved his hand and said, "Drag it down!" ”
The two soldiers didn't care about that, and when they came in, they dragged the Khitan general down.
After a short time, the miserable howl of the Khitan general could be heard outside.
Zhao Youlin faced everyone: "I know that some of you disagree with me, and you also feel that this battle is just a war of our Xi clan. ”
"But don't forget, you were all involved in the war with the Tang Dynasty."
"We are grasshoppers on a rope, if we lose this battle, the three clans will be destroyed, and no one can afford it!"
