Luo Cheng finished informing his subordinate officers, and then walked into the big tent of the Broken Rear Army, only to see a large table set up in the tent, on which a simulated sand table was made according to the terrain of Liaodong. Yu Wenming, Guo Ziyi, Lin Zimo, Changsun Wuji and others were holding sticks in their hands, pointing to the sand table to discuss something.

At this time, Yu Wenming raised his head and saw Luo Cheng coming in, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Brother Luo, you are back, now we will wait for you." ”

Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel a feeling in his heart, a year ago, he was a general, and Yu Wenming was just a team leader. Now that he has been promoted to a general, Yu Wenming has become a general. And he also surpassed himself in his official position, and became the general of the four products. Although he is also young and promising, he is far from being a demonic genius like Yu Wenming. It's unpredictable.

However, Luo Cheng only felt it for a moment, and his attention was quickly attracted by the sand table in front of him, and he saw that the topographic map made of sand and stones was very realistic. The mountains, rivers, towns, and grasslands in the entire Liaodong area have been shrunk and revealed, which is more realistic and looks better than ordinary military maps.

"Who invented this sand table? It's so easy to use! After all, Luo Cheng was a general who had led thousands of men and horses, and he could see at a glance the value of this sand table for military deduction.

"Besides our General Yuwen, who else has such a mind?" Guo Ziyi said with a grin. He had just been appointed as the head of the heavy infantry regiment of the Broken Rear Army, and he was in a good mood. Moreover, he has a blind confidence in Yu Wenming, believing that under the leadership of Yu Wenming, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated.

"It seems that I am slower than Brother Yuwen's promotion, and I am really not wronged, not to mention the merits of the war, this sand table alone is by no means designed by me. Brother Yuwen's Luoyang prodigy is really not covered! Luo Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Wenming also heard the conversation between the two at this time, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed secretly, thinking that this sand table was placed in his previous life, as long as anyone who had watched a little war movie knew the production process and knew its importance. It's just that now it's the Sui Dynasty, and the people of this era are not aware of the sand table at all. So much so that famous generals like Luo Cheng regard themselves as geniuses.

"That's right! General Luo, how is the situation at the front? I heard that you had a skirmish with the Goryeo army by the river, how was it going? Wei Chi Jingde also came over and asked at this time.

"I was about to report this to General Yuwen. Our situation is not optimistic right now. Luo Cheng said in a deep voice. There was a solemn look on his face.

Yu Wenming's face also changed slightly after hearing this, and he hurriedly beckoned Luo Cheng to sit down, and then asked him to elaborate.

After Luo Cheng sat down, without waiting for him to ask, he immediately said: "General Yuwen, it seems that the Goryeo army has already inquired about the situation of our army and knows that the main force of our army has retreated. So they turned the defense into an attack, trying to force their way across the Yalu River and pursue our army......"

"But fortunately, they were worried that the boats would be used by our army to cross the river, so most of the original boats along the river were burned by them. At present, the Goryeo army wants to cross the river but finds that there are no boats, so they cut down trees everywhere and prepare to cross the river by boat. ”

"So, I sent my troops to secretly cross the Yalu River, ready to attack their people who were cutting down trees, but they did not expect to be discovered, and a battle of 1,000 men was fought by the river, and our army suffered about one-third of the enemy's casualties. It seems that the combat effectiveness of the Goryeo army has really decreased a lot, and it seems that it should be the result of their previous excessive losses and the forced recruitment of ordinary people into the army. ”

"But if they are allowed to build all the boats to cross the river and start to strengthen the Yalu River, it will be very difficult for us to resist. The west of the Yalu River was all plains, and the Goryeo army successfully crossed the city, and it was possible to reach Liaodong City in five days, cutting off the retreat of our army. Luo Cheng said with a worried face.

Only then did Yu Wenming know that the situation had reached such a dangerous point.

Eldest Sun Wuji continued: "Now our strength is: 1,000 ironclad cavalry, 2,000 light cavalry, 2,000 heavy cavalry, 5,000 heavy infantry, 20,000 light infantry, and the total strength is only 30,000. It may be possible to hold the Yalu River for a month, but after a month, it is a little difficult to get out of the way. ”

"The cavalry and heavy infantry are okay, they are transferred from the Zuoling Guard, and they are finally elite soldiers. But the situation of the light infantry was very bad. The order of the Holy Majesty was to let the various armies transfer their elites, but he didn't want to think about how the commanders of the various armies would be willing to transfer their elite troops to us. As a result, I checked and found that almost all of the 20,000 light infantry transferred over were recruits who had just joined the army and had been trained for less than three months, and their combat effectiveness was estimated to be not much better than that of the people. Wei Chi Jingde said with a frown.

When everyone heard Wei Chi Jingde, who had always been known for his bravery, say this, they knew that the 20,000 so-called "elite" infantry transferred from various armies basically had no need to count on it.

Yu Wenming gasped, thinking that the original strength was only less than one-third of the enemy's, if the combat effectiveness of his own army was far lower than that of the Goryeo army, would this battle still need to be fought?

Luo Cheng asked expectantly, "I don't know if General Yuwen has a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

During this expedition, his army did not participate in any other battle than the attack on Blackstone. For Yu Wenming's achievements, he is all hearsay.

However, he really couldn't believe that Yu Wenming could defeat the Khitan cavalry several times his size on the plain. And it was a complete victory.

Yu Wenming secretly complained in his heart, although he had won several battles before, but it was all based on some film and television novel experience in his previous life, and relying on the knowledge that people in this era did not have, so that he could defeat the strong with the weak. Strictly speaking, he is not a genius general.

However, although Yu Wenming is young now, he can be regarded as a well-informed person, so naturally he will not be asked by Luo Chengcheng like this.

He immediately replied: "Judging from the fact that the Goryeo army is impatiently building ships and trying to cross the river as soon as possible, they hope to defeat us quickly, and then catch up with the main force of the army, not to mention intercepting Your Majesty and the accompanying officials, at least they want to take revenge." ”

"And this mentality of the Goryeo army is destined for them to fight quickly, if the war drags on for a long time, they can't defeat our broken army, then Your Majesty's main force will reach Zhuojun safely. At that time, their attempts at revenge will be completely frustrated. ”

"So, I guess they're going to launch a fierce attack. And if we can withstand their first two offensives, we can frustrate their spirits. Then lure the enemy deeper and put the decisive battle in the place we have arranged, so that we can have a chance to win. Yu Wenming pondered for a moment, and Fang Kan spoke.

"Then where does General Yuwen think the best place to conduct a decisive battle?" Luo Cheng asked with a puzzled expression.

Yu Wenming took a stick at this time, pointed to the largest city on the map of Liaodong and said, "Liaodong City!" ”
