Chapter 766 Tactics (1)

At this moment, Li Po, who was by the river, was also on fire.

After leading the troops for many years, Li Po naturally knew what kind of state he should maintain when he was about to fight.

But then again, this battle is too important, it can be said that he has accumulated for many years, and in this move, he cannot be allowed to avoid gains and losses.

The general trend of the world has actually been clearly placed in front of him, except for him Li Po and Li Yuan's father and son, the world's heroes are now like local chickens and dogs in front of them.

Therefore, in Li Po's view, today's war should be a battle that determines the ownership of the world, and if you take a step back, you are likely to be doomed.

The battle of crossing the river is still unfinished, and then Feng Yi is ......

In the big tent of the Chinese army by the river, everyone also stayed awake all night, the generals came and went, Li Po and Li Shimin were in high spirits, but there seemed to be countless ants gnawing at them in their hearts.

On the big river, the lights are bright, even brighter than the Chang'an Taiji Palace.

Countless soldiers quickly passed through several pontoon bridges, which also had to transport grain and grass baggage, and it was impossible for the formed cavalry to cross the Yellow River in a short time, so they could only rely on the infantry army, which undoubtedly greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Jin army.

Moreover, the temporary pontoon bridge was too narrow, which made the Jin army feel very uncomfortable.

At the end of the night, there were less than 8,000 soldiers crossing the river, and Wei Chixin's Youtun Guard Mansion was only half over, and the speed was too slow, which was really unsatisfactory.

Of course, this must not blame Wei Chixin for anything, the first battle is in the front, if Wei Chixin does not work hard, it will be too much to say.

When the army crossed the river, the grain and grass had to keep up, and a pontoon bridge had to be given to the cavalry, because the army needed scouts, and it also needed to be entangled with the Tang cavalry at a critical juncture.

The morning light was slightly revealed, and Li Po asked General Zuo Chi Gong to temporarily take charge of military affairs, and he squinted slightly.

It didn't take long for someone to wake me up, and the latest detective in front of me arrived.

"Yongfeng Cang is unguarded, and there is no grain and grass, enter to check, the defenders should have walked in the direction of Chang'an for a short time, and they are all cavalry pawns......"

How to say it, this is not good news for the current Jin army.

Yongfeng Cang is located between Tongguan and Feng Yi, the former Sui and Luokou Cang are the same, one east and one west, both are important grain towns, and the grain in them is piled up like a mountain, because of this, Li Yuan can garrison hundreds of thousands of troops in Guanxi, supporting it to this day.

And when everyone started an uprising, the first thing they fought for was where these grains were located.

Li Po won the Zhuojun Okura in Luo Yi, Dou Jiande and others, Li Mi and Wang Shichong and others fought for the Luoyang Okura, and Li Yuan occupied Guanxi, and the first thing he targeted was Yongfeng Okura.

Of course, it is not new news that Yongfeng Cang's grain storage is gradually exhausted, and in the past two years, Li Tang's soldiers stationed by the river have fled a lot, which actually indicates that Yongfeng Cang, like Luoyang Dacang, has been exhausted by people.

When the former Sui gradually drifted away, there was not much left of the legacy left to everyone.

But the function of Yongfeng warehouse does not stop there, because it has a good warehouse for storing grain and grass, so it is still a very important place for Li Tang to transfer grain and grass.

And now that Yongfeng Cang is empty, this can only mean one thing, the grain and grass of the defenders everywhere along the river should not have much problem in the short term...... On the contrary, it was Li Tang's defenders who had a big problem.

The reason why this is bad news shows that whether it is Li Po or his generals, the speculation is more inclined to the former.

In addition, I knew before that it was Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, who was stationed in Yongfengcang, and as soon as the army crossed the river, Li Xiuning abandoned Yongfengcang...... Li Po held his head, which was still a little drowsy, and said in his heart, this mother-in-law knows the opportunity very well, and she runs very simply, but she is not stupid.

Then the report from Wei Chixin's side arrived, and the situation was very worrying.

In one night, only half of the Youtun Weifu passed, plus 300 cavalry, and Wei Chi's soldiers were more steady, and he transported a lot of grain and grass baggage, and in the early morning of this day, the Chinese army of the Youtun Weifu had come to the large camp where the Tang army had been stationed on the west bank, and repaired the barracks, and had a certain combat effectiveness.

As the commander-in-chief, Li Po will definitely not be satisfied, the speed of crossing the river is too slow, and he even regrets a little, he should not let Wei Chixinbu be the vanguard of the army.

Wei Chixin pursues too much safety, and is not in a hurry or impatient, it is likely that he will lose the fleeting fighter in the next battle, if Li Po himself is replaced in the front, with the elite of the Jin army, he can be more radical.

Of course, at this time, it is impossible for him to change generals in battle, let alone reprimand Wei Chixin for being slow, which is not in line with his wishes, because Li Po himself clearly knows that Wei Chixin has not done anything wrong, and there is no need for others to point fingers at this time. Love to nibble on books

Therefore, Li Po could only give Wei Chixin full trust, and only sent someone to give Wei Chixin another morning, urging Wei Chixin to quickly take the entire Youtun Guard Mansion across the river.

The middle army of the right tun guard house by the river.

"You see, the king must have thought that our crossing of the river was too slow...... I said a long time ago, let the soldiers put on armor, hold swords and shields, and at most bring some bows and crossbows, and let people come over before talking about anything else, but the eldest brother is so slow, I am in a hurry, not to mention the king......"

Wei Chikai was eating breakfast and complaining that there were only two brothers in the account, and he didn't have to worry about anything.

And just after a fight, Wei Chikai's murderous aura has not gone, and he always wants to make more contributions, and build a house like the eldest brother, but he was suppressed by the eldest brother, and he was naturally very dissatisfied in his heart.

Wei Chixin didn't have much appetite, he did feel the king's dissatisfaction in the general order from the Chinese army, plus the string in his heart was tense for a day and a night, and now when he heard his brother's nagging, his heart was even more irritable, and his eyes immediately widened.

"The king has promised me to be the first of the great army, if I listen to your words and lead a light army to cross the river, once the enemy army comes to attack, how can I resist it? Don't talk about the defeat of the army, let the army's previous achievements be wasted, just say that there is a slight mistake, which damages the morale of the king's soldiers, and you and my brother can be said to die and cannot atone for their sins. ”

"Now it is slower, but the armament, grain and grass are complete, and then the army can cross the river with confidence, although its merit is not obvious, but it does not live up to the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by the king."

This seems to be convincing Wei Chikai, but in fact, it is more like convincing himself, in other words, crossing the river is too slow, but it is safe enough.

Of course, these words can't fool Wei Chikai, and Wei Chikai has a straightforward temperament, and he has something to say in front of his eldest brother.

"The eldest brother has been in Jinyang for a long time, and I am afraid that he will lose his sharpness...... The eldest brother doesn't want to think about it, crossing the river is Chang'an, and the credit of Nuoda is in front of him, who is not red-eyed? The eldest brother is unhurried, and he still thinks that no fault is meritorious, and after a while, he annoys the king, and he changes someone else to lead the army, how can our brothers still have the face to be side by side with everyone? ”

"Besides, the king is willing to let the eldest brother lead the army to cross the river first, not only to believe in the big brother, but also to pay the eldest brother to stay in Jinyang for many years, not to fight for the merit, if we can't give the king some face, look at it, when the king enters Chang'an, our brother is afraid that he will become a guard dog.

In that case, no matter what happens to others, the brothers in the family will have to laugh at us to death. ”

When Wei Chixin heard this, he was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that although the words were a little ugly, they were not unreasonable.

After a few bites of rice and a sigh of relief, he asked, "What if you say that?" ”

Wei Chikai's spirit immediately perked up, and he was waiting for this sentence, and muttered a few words in his heart by the way, that is, I was young and vigorous back then, and I offended the king when I first came, otherwise I am the main one now, why bother to talk so much?

He's really confident.

"The river beach is too small, it is difficult to garrison soldiers, this camp is also very stingy, and it is enough to station three or two thousand people, once the whole army of our right tun guard house crosses the river, it will not be able to be used at all."

"Besides, after we cross the river, the follow-up army will immediately follow, rather than letting people push forward, it is better to go forward at this time, Feng Yi ......"

Wei Chixin's brows furrowed, and he instinctively felt that what Yu Chi Kai said was too risky, and Feng Yi was in a hurry.

Only Fengyi County has Jawyang, Chengcheng, Hancheng and other cities that need to be explored, and there are Weinan in the south, Huayin and other places are not small cities, and there are Tongguan defenders on the side......

And in the southwest, there are 10,000 years, and there may be soldiers stationed in Chang'an Ancient City and other places, even if the entire Weifu goes to Feng Yicheng, it is very dangerous, not to mention that it is divided into troops.

"No...... How many soldiers and horses are you going to bring with you? There are many soldiers, the river beach is unguarded, it is easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy, there are few soldiers, and when you go to Feng Yicheng, you only look at the city and sigh, what is the use? ”

Wei Chikai finally finished eating and threw away the rice bowl, "Big brother thought badly, on the river beach, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend...... If I am Li Shenfu's house, I will definitely be entangled here, even if I can't hold the river beach, I will delay the army to cross the river. ”

"As long as the time is a little longer, reinforcements from all over the country will arrive one after another, and we will be in a dilemma."

Wei Chixin was not idle, and immediately retorted: "If Li Shenfu dares to do this, it will save us our hands and feet......"

Wei Chikai also knew that this example was a bit inappropriate, so he shook his hand with a smile, "What the eldest brother said is that our corporal is strong, and he is not afraid of this, if he is on par with the other party, he will ......."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, anyway, I feel that there are more than 10,000 people in the Weifu, and the garrison here is too narrow, and it is really a good strategy to wait for the other party to attack, if you let me lead the troops forward, I will confuse the enemy's ears and eyes, so that he does not know the reality of our army."

"Second, even if the Tang army comes to help, it will definitely attack me first, and you can give the army to cross the river to buy time, the eldest brother can rest assured, although the younger brother is not talented, there is still some ability to lead the troops, with the elite of my soldiers to dare to fight, the enemy is too few, you can fight and win, there are more enemies, and it is easy to hold on for a few days."

"Besides, as the eldest brother said, guarding the river beach steadily, its merits are meager, if we can't find another way, how can we show our brother's means?"
