Chapter 1266: The Most Vicious Opponent

In the battle plan of the General Staff Division, there are five sets of battle plans, the most frightening of which is that Yelu Xiuge sent a partial division to drag the main army led by Li Zhongyi, and then concentrated the main forces of the Pi Room Army and the Gong Branch Army, looking for an opportunity to set up an ambush in order to annihilate the Han army of Yang Lie's army.

A battle plan, as it is called, is the bold assumption of all possible adverse scenarios in anticipation of a rainy day, that is, to conceive as far as possible of the enemy as an unusually cunning enemy, rather than a stupid opponent.

Facts have proved that Yelu Hugo is indeed the most vicious opponent and enemy of the Li Jiajun!

Li Zhongyi rode on the back of the "blood kill", Zhang Sanzheng raised his left, Gao Qiang was on the right, and he was guarded in the middle.

"Zhang Sanzheng, tell me, will Brother Yelu Xiu wait for us in Youzhou?" Li Zhongyi turned his head and asked Zhang Sanzheng.

Zhang Sanzheng pondered carefully, shook his head and said, "I think with Brother Yeluxiu's cunning, he shouldn't be able to fight such a stupid battle, right?" ”

"Oh, what about you?" Li Zhongyi turned around and looked at Gao Qiang with a smile.

Gao Qiang pondered for a moment and whispered: "If I were Brother Yelu Xiu, I would definitely send someone to entangle the main force of our army first, and then destroy Yang Lie's troops first." ”

"Why?" Li Zhongyi looked at Gao Qiang with a smile, and deliberately broke the casserole to ask in the end.

Gao Qiang was often questioned, and he had adapted to Li Zhongyi's way of conducting spot checks immediately, and he explained: "Don't say it's our army, even if it's the forbidden army of the Northern Han Dynasty, as long as the formation is arranged in advance, it will be difficult for the Khitans to defeat it for a while." In fact, the Khitans were best at encircling the point to send reinforcements, or cutting off the grain route, and judging from past examples, they did not like to fight head-on with the Han army. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and looked at Zhang Sanzheng again, Zhang Sanzheng understood in his heart that if he didn't come up with hard work, he was afraid that he would be compared to Gao Qiang.

"Back to the Lord, if Yelu Hugo wants to fight a decisive battle with the main force of our army, he has already started fighting last time. It's a pity that the Khitans only sent partial divisions, one wanted to test the true combat strength of our army, and the other wanted to use partial divisions to entangle the main force of our army. Zhang Sanzheng's words made Li Zhongyi nod frequently, Brother Yelu Xiu thought so and did so, and there was no mistake in the analysis.

"Lord, our army has been practicing for a long time, and it has been five years since the frontal combat against the cavalry. Presumably Brother Yelu Hugh has already heard of it, right? Zhang Sanzheng pondered for a while, and then added, "The report of the Senate Department has analyzed that the best tactic of the Khitans is actually to abandon Youzhou and use the vast plains north of the Yanshan Mountains to fight our army with all their might. It's a pity that the production on the Great Plain of Youji is too rich, and if they don't lose a few battles ruthlessly, the Khitan people may be unable to give up the fat that has reached their mouths. ”

Li Zhongyi looked at Zhang Sanzheng with some surprise, he didn't see him for a day, as if he had been in the autumn every other day, Zhang Sanzheng, this kid was able to endure it, and his progress was shocking.

Historically, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Kutuzov, adopted the strategy of luring the enemy deep and resolutely cutting off the logistics line of the French army, and finally knocked the emperor to the ground.

The distance from Xiongzhou and Bazhou to Youzhou is only 300 miles at best.

Unlike other warlord troops, Li Jiajun had an elite cavalry unit of the Han army that had been trained for many years and had rich combat experience, and the number of people exceeded 30,000.

In the face of the Li family's army, which was armed to the teeth and had already realized the mule and horse transformation of the whole army, if Yelu Xiuge wanted to cut off the grain route, he would send fewer troops, and it would become a delicacy for the Li family's army. There are more soldiers sent, and the defense force of Youzhou City is a little weaker, which is really a dilemma.

At this point in the war, Yelu Hugo should have regretted that he should not have sent the Han army in Youzhou to reinforce the Liu Han regime in Jinyang.

But the problem is that Li Zhongyi is adopting a yang scheme, if Yelu Xiuge doesn't care about Jinyang, then with the current strength of Liu Han's regime, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the ferocious attack of the Li family's army.

If the Jinyang regime falls, it will be equivalent to closing the door for the Khitans to enter the Central Plains from the northwest, and the real wise man will not take it!

The problem now is that Yelu Hugo not only has the pressure of the old Khitan royal family, but also the Jinyang regime also needs to be taken care of. What's even more powerful is that Li Zhongyi pressed up from the south, and Yang Lie's partial division entered the Great Plain of Youji from the water.

The Khitans are known as having a million armor, but in fact, the real power of Yelu Xiuge is 300,000 Pi Mu Army and Gong Branch Army, including 50,000 Han soldiers and horses in Youzhou.

The herdsmen who have not undergone strict training are only good at fighting with the wind, and they are naturally brave and invincible, if the momentum is not right, based on Xiao Jiujiu, who has preserved their own strength, the elders and patriarchs of the tribal army will definitely slip faster than rabbits.

On the other hand, on the side of the Li family's army, although the number of people advancing north was significantly less than that of Brother Hugh's, the unity of the people made up for the disadvantage of insufficient troops.

Now, after Yelu Hugo divided his troops to 60,000, although the total strength is still stronger than Li Zhongyi, he has been carrying the big burden of Youzhou, and he has no way to truly complete the tactical concept of a great detour and a big encirclement.

Li Zhongyi and the senators saw the weakness of Yelu Hugo's reluctance to give up Youzhou, firmly grasped the bull's nose, and always took taking Youzhou as the biggest goal of this battle.

The situation is stronger than people, and after Li Zhongyi went north again, he already had a premonition that Yelu Xiuge would definitely start a strategic decisive battle with him under Youzhou City.

After Yang Lie was released, he was like a kite with a broken string, or an eagle soaring in the nine heavens, and he had completely cut off contact with Li Zhongyi.

"This time, our army has brought enough grain and grass, which can support it at least three months later, and Youzhou is close at hand, even if the Khitans cut off our army's grain route, what does it matter?" Li Zhongyi once again pointed the finger of the question at Zhang Sanzheng.

Zhang Sanzheng thought for a while and said: "If you can't attack with water, then you can only start a decisive battle under Youzhou City." ”

Li Zhongyi asked Zhang Sanzheng with a smile: "How to attack with water?" Could it be that it is necessary to dig up the embankment of the Sanggan River and play the old trick of flooding the Seventh Army? ”

Zhang Sanzheng replied solemnly: "Our army and the Khitans are fighting between different ethnic groups, and Yelu Huge is in a hurry, what can't he do?" ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and smiled, his cultivation all the time has obviously had a huge impact effect, that's right, if it is not my race, its heart will be different!

"What do you think?" After Li Zhongyi praised Zhang Sanzheng, he shifted his attention to Gao Qiang.

Under Li Zhongyi's blazing gaze, Gao Qiang stubbornly said: "The well is poisoned, the wall is cleared, and the people are driven south...... and a lot of poisonous tricks are said.
