Chapter 755: Guerrilla Warfare (Part 3)

"Guerrilla warfare?" Yi Qusheng's eyes widened subconsciously.

This is the second time that Yiqu Sheng has heard this term from Li Mu's mouth.

So soon, Yi Qusheng's eyes quickly lit up, and he said to Li Mu: "Are you going to use the same set of tactics that defeated the Qin people last time?" ”

Li Mu had a smile on his face and said to Yi Qusheng in front of him: "After my research and experience over the years, I can say with great certainty that guerrilla warfare is definitely one of the best tactics that can be used when the weak face the strong. This tactic can not only demoralize the enemy, but also maximize the survival rate of the weaker side, and at the same time, it can also play a characteristic that the enemy army will not dare to let down their guard anytime and anywhere, causing everyone to be in ......"

"Okay, okay, okay, my General Li Mu, don't go on." Yiqu Sheng interrupted Li Mu's words with a little headache, and then said to Li Mu: "Since this is the case, then all the soldiers and horses of Yiqu Kingdom will be handed over to you to command, General Li Mu." ”

However, Li Mu's answer was completely unexpected by Yiqu Sheng: "No, I am the general of Zhao State, how can I easily participate in the wars of other countries without the order of my king?" Moreover, if the people of the Qin State learned that I was actually commanding the army of the Yiqu State, it would be a big trouble. ”

Li Mu deliberately paused for a moment, and then said to Yiqu Sheng with great meaning: "Actually, this war does not need my command, and you and other Yiqu people will also fight well." ”

"Really?" Judging from Yiqu Sheng's tone, it was clear that he didn't have much confidence in himself and the country under his rule.

After all, compared to the small Yiqu, the Qin State is really a powerful behemoth.

"Really." Li Mu replied very patiently: "In fact, the key to the problem is that you must learn to use your strengths and avoid weaknesses!" Let me ask you first, how many infantry, how many chariots, and how many cavalry are there when the Qin army attacks this time? ”

As the king of Yiqu Country, Yiqu City naturally still has some control over his own territory, so he is also very clear about the distribution of the Qin army that has now entered the territory of Yiqu Country, and he opened his mouth and said to Li Mu: "The people of Qin have a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, including 5,000 chariots and 2,000 cavalry, and the others are all infantry. ”

It stands to reason that although the cavalry of the Qin State is not too much, the number of two thousand seems to be a little less.

The main reason for this situation is, of course, the betrayal of the Yiqu people.

You must know that the Yiqu people and the Qiang people have always been the main source of cavalry in the Qin State, so when the Yiqu people became independent, the Qin people immediately lost the largest source of cavalry, and at the same time lost the main source of supply of war horses, plus they lost battles one after another in the face of the Zhao State, so it is not surprising that the number of Qin cavalry has shrunk.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said, "After all these years of thinking, I have found one thing, that is, war is essentially to use one's strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to one's strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings. In this way, the balance of victory can be tilted in favor of one's side to the greatest extent. And this war should be used to the maximum extent for your Yiqu country. ”

Yiqu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Li Mu: "So you mean to let this king give full play to our strengths and cavalry to attack the shortcomings of the Qin people, right?" ”

Li Mu patted Yiqusheng's shoulder with a smile and smiled at Yiqusheng: "That's right, that's the truth." For this war, my suggestion is to disperse your cavalry into many squads, and keep intruding on the Qin people's march route along the way, so that the Qin people will not dare to take it lightly at any time. ”

"At the same time, you can also send a number of cavalry to the rear of the Qin people, harass the Qin people's grain transportation team, if the grain transportation team is weak, then gather a large cavalry to destroy it."

Hearing this, Yi Qusheng couldn't help but ask, "But what if the Qin people strengthened their escort force for the grain transportation team after being wiped out two or three times?" ”

Li Mu smiled: "In this case, wouldn't that just disperse the strength of the people of the Qin State?" ”

Yiqusheng suddenly realized.

Li Mu continued: "Considering that the cavalry combat effectiveness of the Qin people is not comparable to that of Yiqu, if Wang Yi dares to send a small force of cavalry, he will naturally not be the opponent of the Ruyiqu cavalry. If the Qin people sent a large cavalry, after all, its cavalry was no more than 2,000 people, and you could seize the opportunity to completely annihilate it. Once the Qin people have lost their cavalry, Wang Yi will no longer be able to threaten your cavalry in any way. ”

"In the case that you have the speed of cavalry, no matter how strong the Qin people's grain convoy is, they can only passively withstand the harassment of your Yiqu cavalry, which will pose a great threat to the back roads and supplies of the Qin people."

"As long as the grain route of the Qin people is so continuously threatened by you and others, it is impossible for them to obtain other sources of military food on this spring plateau, so as long as this kind of day lasts a little longer, when all the grain and grass of the Qin people are eaten, what way can they continue to stay in the land of Yiqu Country without leaving?"

Yi Qusheng's eyes lit up with yearning when he heard this, as if the situation of the people of the Qin Kingdom leaving his land was close at hand, and he couldn't help but say: "If this is the case, then how long will it take at most for this king to be able to drive the people of the Qin State away?" ”

Li Mu looked at Yiqu Sheng, and said in his heart that if it was the Zhao State Border Cavalry Corps led by General Ben himself, then the Qin State army would have to withdraw from this land in ashes in a month at most.

But Li Mu, the Yiqu cavalry led by Yiqu Sheng, also knows very well, both in terms of combat effectiveness and discipline, they are all scum, in essence, they are no different from the Xiongnu or Wusun, like bandits and more like an army.

Such a Yiqu State cavalry is not at the same level as the Zhao State cavalry under Li Mu that is very disciplined, equipped and combat-effective.

So after a short hesitation, Li Mu gave a very, very conservative answer.

"If you and your Yiqu cavalry can implement this strategy well, then before winter, the people of Qin will definitely withdraw their troops!"

Yiqu Shengyi's eyes couldn't help but widen after hearing this, obviously a little dissatisfied: "It takes so long for the Qin people to retreat?" ”

Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng in front of him, and said mercilessly: "If your Yiqu State cavalry can be stronger a little more, maybe the Qin people can retreat earlier." Truth be thou shalt follow my advice to thee last time, and appoint a military judge in the army, and reward thy soldiers with a system of meritoriousness. That way, you can boost their morale and make them work harder for you, you know? ”

Yiqu Sheng snorted, looked at Li Mu and said, "This won't work." You must know that my soldiers are a bunch of wild guys, how can they be willing to be bound by military discipline? And if you adopt the military merit system of your Zhao State, then don't I need to reward those soldiers with my wealth? They already have the right to divide the spoils, and if I, the king, have to reward them with something from my spoils, then I, the king, really won't have anything to gain left. ”

Li Mu looked up at the sky and decided not to continue to talk to the rat-eyed earth bun king in front of him.

It was only at this time that Li Mu finally discovered how commendable and happy it was for the people of a country to be able to have a wise and martial king.

But in any case, Yiqucheng finally listened to Li Mu's advice and launched a vigorous guerrilla war against the Qin people.

On the third day after the Yiqu people voluntarily abandoned the city, the 100,000 Qin troops led by Wang Yi and Wang Ling arrived in the city and occupied the city, which was basically completely empty.

On the contrary, on the one hand, the two of them first camped in Yiqu City with the army of Qin, and on the other hand, they also sent a large number of ranger sentries in all directions, wanting to detect the traces of the Yiqu people, and then give the Yiqu people some unforgettable lessons.

It's just that Wang Ji and Wang Ling underestimated the difficulty of this war, and also underestimated the Yiqu people's will to resist, they felt that since the Yiqu people fled after seeing the Qin army, they didn't even want the capital, then I am afraid that it would not be long before Yiqu was once again included in the territory of Qin.

But soon Wang Ji and Wang Ling discovered that the Yiqu people had only left the city, but they had no intention of submitting to the Qin people.

On the contrary, in the field, the advantage of the Yiqu cavalry was far stronger than that of the Qin State, and the Qin people's rangers were attacked head-on by the Yiqu people, and they would lose at least a dozen to dozens of cavalry almost every day.

As a result, after a few days, the Qin people no longer dared to send a squad of cavalry outposts to reconnoiter the traces of the Yiqu people.

But on this vast plateau, if there is no accurate intelligence, how easy is it to march around as if it were a prize?

Although the Qin army occupied several nearby cities during this period, the war was still inevitably in a temporary stalemate due to the stubborn resistance of the Yiqu people, who were strong but ubiquitous.
