Wei Chi Jingde did not expect that there would be anyone who would oppose his opinion. He turned his head to look, only to see that the opponent turned out to be Du Ruhui again.

After Du Ruhui came out of the ranks, he bowed to Yuming, and then said with a straight face: "Marshal, General Wei Chi's strategy was originally not a big problem, but it was not suitable for implementation in Liaodong, because the enemy army we faced was mostly cavalry. And most of these recruits are infantry. Now, even if they are allowed to go back to the rescue, I am afraid that it will be too late. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that it was a problem. How is it possible for two legs to outrun the enemy's four legs. Not to mention these recruits, who have only been in the army for less than a month, even if they are all veterans, it is impossible to catch up with the enemy's cavalry.

"Moreover, although the enemy's battalion is not as well defended as our battalion, if our army wants to attack forcefully, it will inevitably suffer heavy damage, and even if the enemy's battalion is broken, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack again. Therefore, Du believes that whether it is to send troops to rescue Liaodong and other cities, or to attack the enemy's camp to force the Goryeo coalition army to withdraw, it is the next policy! Du Ru said eloquently.

Du Ruhui's words made everyone dumbfounded, and Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others couldn't help but look at each other. I feel that it is indeed inappropriate to agree with Wei Chi Jingde's plan before.

Only Wei Chi Jingde was a little unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help but sneer: "Since Lord Du thinks that the plan of dividing troops to rescue Liaodong, Fuyu, and Black Stone City is inappropriate, and he thinks that it is not appropriate to attack the enemy's camp, what is the best way to solve the immediate crisis?" ”

After Du Ruhui heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "It's not without good policies, but it depends on whether the marshal is reluctant to make up his mind!" ”

"Is the marshal reluctant to make up his mind? What do you mean......" Redsleeves asked, a little hesitant.

At this time, Du Ruhui ordered someone to take the map, pointed to a red dot on the map, and said: "This is a city leading to the Yalu River, called Wuci." Although the city was small and its walls were not very strong, it was a necessary point for the Goryeo coalition forces to retreat to Pyongyang. If the city is captured, it will be able to cut off the retreat of the Goryeo coalition army. ”

Everyone gathered around the map, and after looking at it for a long time, Cheng bit Jin Fang frowned and said, "Lord Du, do you mean to attack Wuci City?" ”

"Yes! Gao Jianwu attacked Liaodong City, and it is expected that we will come to the rescue, because once Liaodong City is lost, our army will be cut off when it retreats. But what he didn't expect was that our army could not save Liaodong City, but attack Wuci City instead. And if the Woods Castle is down, his retreat will also be cut off. At that time, the Goryeo coalition army, which lacks food and grass, will collapse before our army! Du Ruhui said solemnly.

Hearing Du Ruhui say this, everyone suddenly felt that there was some truth and nodded yes.

At this time, Du Ruhui changed his words and continued: "Actually, the attack on Wuci City is just a pretense, and Gao Jianwu has to be saved. The real purpose of our army is not to attack Wuci, but to use this as a lure to mobilize the enemy army and force Gao Jianwu to fight a decisive battle in the place we have arranged! Fight to defeat his troops in a battle and destroy the main force of the Goryeo coalition army! ”

"Do you want to fight the enemy?" Lin Mo said with a worried face: "Although the quality and equipment of the Zuo Ling Guards are higher than those of the Goryeo Coalition Army, after all, the enemy has many soldiers, even if Gao Jianwu can be defeated, the losses will inevitably be huge, and it will take a lot of time." ”

"Yes! Gao Jianwu was an old man who was good at attacking and fighting, and failed in his first two expeditions to Goryeo. Although there was a poor command of our army, and there were reasons for Yang Xuangan's rebellion in China, he had to withdraw. But the combat effectiveness of the Goryeo Army is really not as good as underestimated. Wei Zheng also echoed, he can also be regarded as a lieutenant in the army who has fought many times.

Du Ruhui said without changing his face: "General Lin, of course I know that Gao Jianwu is not easy to deal with. But he also has his weaknesses. That is, he lacks food and grass, and he is afraid that the recruits of our army will have combat effectiveness after training. Therefore, he was in a hurry to drive our army out of Liaodong. If the marshal had sent an army to take Wuci at this time, how would Gao Jianwu have reacted? ”

As soon as Du Ruhui said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, but they all reacted immediately.

Yu Ming said with a look of approval in his eyes: "If we take Wuci, we will cut off Gao Jianwu's return to the east, and at the same time, he will have no more food and grass to transport." Even if he captured Liaodong, Fuyu, and Black Stone City, he could only wait to starve to death. As long as Gao Jianwu doesn't want the coalition forces to disband and flee for their lives, he must ensure that Wuci is not lost. ”

Du Ruhui sincerely admired: "The marshal is really a clear guide, and he can see this matter clearly!" ”

At this time, he pointed to the map, and said with a look of expectation in his eyes: "Between Liaodong City and Wuci City, there is a pass called Wulong Valley. We can set up an ambush here and wait for Gao Jianwu to come! ”

……

In the camp of the coalition army, Gao Jianwu was anxiously pacing in the big tent. Although his current army of more than 100,000 seems to be a lot, the situation is not so optimistic.

He knew very well that the Sui army had strong combat effectiveness, even if those recruits had no combat effectiveness, they could make do with it if they were used to defend the city or garrison the camp, and put bows and arrows or something. And after seeing blood in the war, these recruits will grow up very quickly.

Moreover, he also knew that the Sui army had a lot of food and grass, and if a war of attrition started, he would not be able to fight Yuming. Therefore, he sent a surprise attack force, with Hachi as the main general, to attack Liaodong, Fuyu, and Heishi City separately.

If Yu Ming sent reinforcements to the rescue, he could take advantage of his large cavalry and strong mobility to constantly invade the Sui army's reinforcements, drag them across, and strive to destroy them in the field. As soon as the Sui army left the camp, he believed that the advantage was on his side.

Of course, Gao Jianwu also expected that Yuming might have seen through his plan and did not send reinforcements. If such a situation really occurs, he will order Hachi to change from a fake attack to a real attack, and the army will join forces and really attack Liaodong, Fuyu, and Heishi City.

Although the city is strong, there are not many troops in the city, and many of them are newly recruited people's soldiers. As long as he unites his army, he will be able to bring down the cities one by one.

When the Sui army was cut off, he did not believe that the enemy was not flustered, and his morale dropped greatly.

Gao Jianwu was thinking about it, but suddenly heard Gai Su hurriedly running in and shouting, "General Gao, something is wrong!" ”

"Don't yell so much, what's going on?" Although Gao Jianwu was shocked in his heart, he still asked without changing his face.

"I just discovered that the Sui army that was confronting us had split up a group of men and horses to go east, and according to the reconnaissance horses, it may have gone to Wuci." Gaisu said breathlessly.

"What!" Gao Jianwu was shocked.

Wu Ci is now his only queen, if he is captured by Yuming, then he can only be trapped in the big camp, and the food and grass in the big camp can only eat for a month, even if all the soldiers of the coalition army are of the same mind as him, they will inevitably starve to death. According to the current situation, Gao Jianwu estimates that as soon as the grain and grass are cut off, the leaders of these grassland departments will lead the army to leave the coalition army, and may even secretly have an affair with the enemy.

"No, this has to be stopped." Gao Jianwu immediately asked sharply, "How many of them left?" How many Sui troops are still in the camp now? ”

"It was a troop with the banner of the word 'Guo', with more than 10,000 troops, all cavalry. And behind him, more than 20,000 infantrymen. It is the banner of the word 'Qin'. Gai Suyu reported.

"The chief general of the heavy cavalry unit of the Zuo Ling Guard Army is Guo Yi, one of Yu Ming's henchmen, and the one surnamed Qin should be Qin Qiong, the former general of Zhang Xutuo, I heard that now he has been appointed by Yu Ming as the chief general of the Shengjie Army, with 20,000 infantry under his command. If it is not bad as expected, these two troops are led by these two people! Hu Sizheng said on the side. Since he had already bought off an officer in the Sui army, he naturally knew everything about the personnel arrangements of the Liaodong camp.

"Marshal, there is no room for mistakes in the Wuci!" Gaisu also urged him.

Gao Jianwu frowned and paced in the big tent. Of course, he knew that Wutz could not afford to lose. But he also knew that it would be impossible for him to abandon the camp. After all, the Sui army had not yet attacked itself, and it was unjustifiable to abandon the camp before fighting.

Moreover, he smelled a hint of conspiracy from this troop transfer of the Sui army.

Gao Jianwu didn't believe that Yu Ming would go to fight Wuci so dignified, if it was him, he would definitely set up an ambush halfway, or take the opportunity to take down his own camp while he was saving Wuci. If you really go east like this, you will fall into the trap.

"Go and invite Kubrai and Abao Cave and other departments to come to the hall, our army has to prepare for battle!" Gao Jianwu finally made up his mind that he couldn't sit still.

……

In the big tent of the Goryeo coalition army, Gao Jianwu introduced the current situation to everyone, and then said with a worried face: "At present, the Sui army saw that our army was divided to attack Liaodong, Fuyu, and Heishi City, so it also concocted the same method, and sent a partial division to attack the rear city of our army, Chi Wuci, with a strength of up to 10,000 troops. If left unchecked, as soon as the Wutz falls, our army will become a turtle in an urn. Therefore, I am ready to lead the army to attack and break the Sui army that is heading east. I don't know if you have any opinions? ”

Those tribal leaders didn't have any opinions on this, so naturally they did what Gao Jianwu said. However, Hu Sizheng frowned and said: "Marshal Gao, there is something wrong with this!" ”

"What is Mr. Hu's objection?" Gao Jianwu asked hurriedly. He also knew that Hu Sizheng's views on military affairs were quite unique, and he was also very proficient in leading troops to fight, and he was a rare military minister, otherwise Yang Guang would not have appointed him as a squire in the military department.
