Chapter 588: Second Defeat
It's a good idea to turn reactive into proactive, do you have a specific plan? Li De continued to ask.
"After this period of hard work, we have drawn all the roads that can lead to Ningzhou on the map, and there is currently a road that the Tiele cavalry must pass through is twenty miles away, if you can lead people to ambush here, you will definitely be able to stop the enemy here." Li Jing said.
Li De looked at the map, He Bida and the others were also watching, and they all felt that Li Jing's method was feasible, and they had to go through the way so that they would not have to divide their troops, and they would be able to concentrate superior forces and fight the enemy head-on.
"Okay, just according to Li Jing's method, Li Jing will be in charge this time, how many soldiers and horses do you need?" Li De asked.
Li De was a little excited in his heart, he was finally able to lead the troops to fight alone, which he had been looking forward to for a long time, and he thought he would wait for three and a half years, but now it was realized so quickly.
"Grand Duke, the enemy has 50,000 cavalry, and it is safe to consider that I need 100,000 soldiers and horses." Li Jing said.
There are 100,000 soldiers and horses when you open your mouth, you must know that even if the generals of the Sui State can lead so many soldiers and horses, they must at least be the top generals of the imperial court.
Li De did not hesitate, he knew that Li Jing was a great person, even if he lacked actual combat, it would not affect his victory with his soldiers.
"Okay, I'll send you 100,000 soldiers and horses, and you'll be in charge." Li Dedao.
"The last general will certainly live up to the expectations of the Metropolitan Governor." Li Jing said.
"He Bida, Shi Huaiyi, Luo Song, your task is very heavy, and the development of Ningzhou must not be left behind because of the war."
After Li De finished assigning the task, the lieutenants were a little confused, they wanted to participate in the battle, but in the end they were assigned to the construction of urban planning.
It's a bit like the situation of Hebida at the beginning.
When the others dispersed, He Bida stayed, and he really had a lot of things he couldn't understand, such as why people like Shi Huaiyi, Luo Song and others were better at leading troops to fight, and why the tasks assigned to them now were management.
Shouldn't they fight, if they don't understand, then he just chooses to ask.
"Governor Dadu, Li Jing has no experience in leading troops independently, and it seems inappropriate to hand over 100,000 soldiers and horses to him." Hebida said.
Li De knew very well what he was worried about, Li Jing's resourcefulness and the means of leading the troops, everyone could see that this person knew the art of war, and after several battles, they could see that this person was capable.
"You're worried about me doing this, aren't you?" Li De said lightly.
It's all false to say that he is not worried, the vanguard of 100,000 soldiers and horses was handed over to Li Jing, and He Bida was really a little uneasy.
"The Grand Governor, if you want to say that the captains are all good at leading troops to fight, why did you arrange for them to supervise the work?" Hebida asked.
Li De smiled faintly and explained: "Li Jing is good at fighting enemy soldiers, and he was given the opportunity to let him bring the soldiers back safely as much as possible, and let Shi Huaiyi supervise the construction for many purposes, such as letting him sharpen his temperament and learn about the development of the state capital earlier." ”
Hebida immediately understood, just like he had at the beginning.
"Metropolitan Governor, we are all facial features, it's okay to lead troops to fight, but it's really hard to say about being a manager." Hobida Road.
"It doesn't matter, the ability can be cultivated slowly, so you have to worry more about the development and construction of Ningzhou." Li Dedao.
He Bida already understood what Li De meant, so he didn't say more, he wanted to see what happened to Shi Huaiyi, and whether it would be like the embarrassment when he started to take over civil affairs.
Waiting for He Bida to leave and just went out, he was stopped by Shi Huaiyi, Luo Song and others, they were all waiting for the result, and they were really unable to figure it out if they were not allowed to lead the troops to the battle.
Although I know that development and construction are also important, I always have some thoughts in my heart.
"You guys, it's really impatient, the meaning of the metropolitan governor is very clear, that is, to cultivate your ability to govern the state capital, every day you know how to lead troops to fight, and how to manage it in the future." Hobida Road.
In their hearts, the military generals are to lead the troops to fight, and the civilian officials can do other things, but in Li De's opinion, this is not the case, but this does not affect the military generals to exercise their management skills.
Things in the barracks can't train their abilities, and now Ningzhou can't be short of people.
Besides, 100,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, and there could be no one to defend Ningzhou, and the guards of Shi Huaiyi and others were the strongest combat power, and it was also for insurance.
It's just that Li De didn't say these things too clearly.
Li Jing will lead the troops sooner or later, and it just so happens that this opportunity Li De also wants to see how many surprises this invincible general can bring him.
In this battle, the Pei family brothers, Xiong Kuohai and others were sent out to serve as Li Jing's deputies, and these Li De can rest assured.
As for how to fight, it depends on Li Jing.
100,000 soldiers and horses brought enough food and set off quickly.
According to the scout's report, the Tiele cavalry met the vanguard on time, and this time the commander of the Tiele cavalry was still twilight, and he had been studying the vanguard's tactics since the last fiasco.
For example, the most impressive thing is the shield wall, this equipment has a very big advantage for temporary encounters, and it is more practical than the horse rejection pile, but the cost of building is too high for them to build.
The narrow road met again, and once again let Yi Du see the shield wall, and the Tiele cavalry now has no good impression of this shield wall, and there is no way to make a detour.
If you want to retreat, if you really do that, the vanguard will not hesitate to charge.
Twilight realizes that every time he encounters a Vanguard, he has no choice.
"Beat the drums!" Li Jing and his people arrived early in the morning, and the preparations were very timely, and the sound of war drums was constantly exciting.
"Meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, attack!"
After Li Jing finished shouting, the shield wall was opened, and it immediately changed from a defensive formation to a division of tigers and wolves.
Twilight really had no choice, seeing that the enemy had already launched a charge, he had no choice but to fight first.
"General, there are too many enemies, let's avoid their edge first and retreat first." Yida, who came with the Tiele cavalry, said.
The narrow road meets, and now it is either advancing or retreating.
Li Jing even did not specify any tactics at the beginning of the attack, if there is a word "brave", the attack began, and the sound of drums did not stop.
Li Jing personally led people to charge, yes, he was brave.
Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai likes to fight like this the most, everyone is in good spirits, Xiong Kuohai is fighting while shouting heroically: "Tiele cavalry is nothing more than this, brothers rushed over with me and took the head of the enemy general." ”
As soon as the words came out, the soldiers were all excited, and taking the first rank of general was a high-level combat achievement, and if they performed well, they could be promoted to three levels in a row, and many people followed forward bravely when they heard it.
Twilight saw that the enemy was full of momentum, and they were already tired from traveling for so long, and at this time they were even more in the middle of equipment.
"General, withdraw, it's still too late." The generals around Yi Du persuaded.
