After hearing Dusk's words, more than a dozen generals of all sizes around the sand table were all struck by lightning.

Annihilation?

Thirty thousand?

Cavalry?

You're not dreaming!

You bearded black and stiff boy knows a hammer war.

Annihilated 30,000 cavalry troops, do you dare to imagine such a result?

Daydreaming doesn't do that either.

Generally speaking, a battle with a loss ratio of one-fifth is basically a complete rout, followed by a pursuit to expand the results of the battle, but to annihilate them all......

It's hard, it's hard.

You must know that you are facing a Tatar cavalry, a cavalry army of the steppe, and its combat effectiveness is still above the Ming cavalry, and secondly, this is 30,000 cavalry, and it is 30,000 cavalry troops who are determined to enter the customs and rob, even if they are surrounded, with the mobility of the cavalry, it is not difficult to break through.

Unless......

Only then did Li Yuan understand why there were 10,000 elite cavalry soldiers coming to Dushikou.

The 10,000 cavalry drawn from the Guannei, plus the original cavalry inside and outside the Guancheng, add up to no less than 30,000, which means that the next is a war in which the cavalry is evenly matched or even slightly superior.

The main reason is that the time is in a hurry, and the cavalry on the Ming side has not had time to converge, so this is basically an encounter.

Li Yuan understood.

The meaning of dusk is actually very simple, use the troops gathered in the shortest time to fight an all-out battle, the battlefield is only limited to the area of the Yumu River, if the Tatars run away, do not chase.

If the Tatars do not run, then fight to the end.

Two results.

One is to snatch back Princess Baoqing, as long as this result is achieved, there will basically be no loss.

If you can completely annihilate the enemy army, then you will earn blood.

Is this really what twilight means?

I'm afraid not.

Li Yuan understood that such a strategic intention was definitely not something that could be formulated by a hairy boy at dusk, but must have been conceived by His Majesty who was sitting in Shuntian.

And faith was greatened.

This is an opportunity to gain military merits, if you really annihilate these 30,000 Tatars, Feng Gong is close at hand!

Dusk muttered: "Next, let me say, Marquis Li, you sit in Xuanfu all the year round, and you have a prestige in the north, you go to Xuanfu to lead the troops, and converge with the forces of Datong and Naturalization City, of course, the more the better, but the troops in Yulin and Yunzhou, which are adjacent to Naturalization City, do not move, and indeed beware of the Tatars and Wara Yellow Birds, and the troops of Xuanfu and Datong are as many as they want, to outflank the west and north of the Yumu River, and cut off the two lines of Tatar retreat. ”

Li Yuan's spirits were greatly lifted, "Take the order!" ”

The battle exploits are beckoning to him, and he has no time to care about Dusk at this time.

Dusk looked at Xu Zhen, "You go to Kaiping now, don't use the forces of Dushi Pass, after you arrive in Kaiping, don't remember to go to Yingchang to outflank the northeast of Yumuchuan, but wait for the cooperation of Daning and Quanning, Your Majesty's will should have arrived in these two places, and after the troops of these two places go to Yingchang, you will do it again to avoid being detected by the 30,000 Tatars——"

Suddenly stopped, "No, once Kaipingwei's troops are mobilized, the Tatars will be alert and startled." ”

Xu Huizu bowed, "Indeed, Kaipingwei's troops cannot move, and they must make a defensive posture, so as to paralyze the 30,000 Tatar cavalry army in Yumuchuan." ”

Dusk looked at Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen laughed, "What is there to be afraid of, I Kaipingwei 3,000 Erlang, as long as there is one person alive, I can nail 30,000 Tatars like nails." ”

Dusk bowed, "How many cavalry troops are there in Kaipingwei?" ”

Xu Zhen: "Five hundred." ”

Dusk was a little sad, "It's not enough, you can't bite them, in this way, you go to Kaipingwei, make a defensive posture, never go out of the city, if the 30,000 Tatars bypass Kaiping, you can turn the 500 cavalry into scouts and follow them." ”

Xu Zhen nodded, "Command!" ”

Dusk waved his sleeves, "In this way, I will lead 10,000 cavalry troops on the side of Dushi Pass, waiting for your encirclement, once the encirclement is successful, we will attack with all our troops and fight a beautiful encirclement battle." ”

Pocket tactics, close your pockets and pick up heads.

looked at Li Yuan, "So Hou Ye Li, you must be fast, you must be fast, time is the fighter, as long as you cut off the north and west of the Yumu River, and there are troops of Yingchang, Quanning and Daning in the northeast of the Yumu River, then it is impossible for these 30,000 people to jump out of the encirclement no matter what." ”

To be quick, an encirclement must be formed before the 30,000 people are alert, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Li Yuan knew the severity, "I will never disgrace the general's mission." ”

Dusk waved his sleeves: "Let's go." ”

Time waits for no one, fighters are fleeting, and we must seize the time to lay out.

Li Yuan and Xu Zhen immediately led the generals to set off, and after a while, there were only 4,000 original defenders and 10,000 iron horsemen drawn from the pass in the huge monolith pass.

Dusk and Xu Huizu took over in an all-round way.

Xu Huizu smiled: "So I need to wait now?" ”

Dusk hehe, "There is no such thing." ”

said to Xu Huizu: "Li Yuan must have thought that this tactic was formulated by His Majesty, but in fact, he guessed wrong, this pocket tactic was actually thought out by me, and His Majesty decided, uncle, you have to do the most critical thing next." ”

Xu Huizu was surprised, "Didn't you say that this 10,000 iron horsemen are going to wait for the opportunity to move?" ”

Dusk nodded, "Yes, but when Li Yuan's Xuanfu and Datong troops are transferred, and the troops from Daning and Quanning have been transferred, we need time, now is the time to paralyze the opponent, brother, you have to protect me to go to Yumu River." ”

The transfer of the army is really not a matter of one or two days.

There's a lot going on.

Especially in terms of grain and grass, it is extremely important, so it is necessary to buy more time for Li Yuan and Daning's side so that an encirclement can be formed, and according to the current speed of the march, it is estimated that it will take at least seven days.

Therefore, it is necessary to meet the generals of the 30,000 Tatar soldiers of the Yumu River.

Of course, you can't give away heads.

Xu Huizu asked, "How to get there?" Do you want to bring all the troops of Dushi Pass, or do you just bring a few hundred people? ”

Dusk didn't even think about it, "Just what it means, I guess Xiao Baoqing hasn't revealed his identity yet, otherwise the Tatar side would have sent someone over to discuss with us about exchanging money for people." ”

Xu Huizu immediately went out, "I'll go and order troops, five hundred cavalry, is it enough?" ”

Twilight smiled, "That's enough." ”

Not to go to war.

There are too many people but there is no sincerity, so five hundred people are enough, and the one who really goes to see the leading figure of the Tatars is actually alone, and it is enough to bring a few concubines.

The eldest brother led an army of 500 cavalry, but he was only responsible for receiving it.

Negotiating, the two armies will not be killed.

What's more, he is now pretending to be a rich man to negotiate with the Tatars, and the winter is about to end, no matter how unreasonable the Tatars are, they will not get along with the money-

What's more, Lao Tzu doesn't need to pretend.

Lao Tzu was originally a rich man!
