Chapter 570: Riding a Tiger
That night, Li Mi gathered several close generals and strategists in his personal account to talk at night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Bodang, Fang Yanzao, Chai Xiaohe, Zu Junyan, Cai Jiande, Xu Shiji, Jia Xiong, Jia Runfu, Wang Junkuo, Cui Shishu and others all arrived, gossiping, expressing their opinions on how to deal with Zhang Xutuo.
Jia Xiong analyzed: "At present, Zhang Xutuo has become the first general of the Sui Imperial Court, and even this year, he has the momentum of overshadowing Luo Cheng and becoming a famous general of the Great Sui to save the waves, Pei Changcai, Shi Zihe, Sun Xuanya, Shi Qinjiao, Hao Xiaode and others have been suppressed by him, we have to fight with him, fight in a battle, the psychological quality of the soldiers is definitely not the opponent of the Sui army." ”
This is also what Li Mi is most worried about, the army is unstable, it is difficult to compare with the elite morale of the Sui army, although these peasant rebel armies, although they are also trained, but they are the most basic formation and killing, lack of strict training, unlike the imperial army has iron laws, with decades of military discipline standards, it is easy to restrain it, the iron armor is shining, all the armor can form the cohesion of the regular army.
And their rebels, even the robes are difficult to be the same color, the armor is not complete, the team flags are messy, but the weapons in their hands have improved, no longer hoes, shovels, and wooden sticks, replaced by horizontal knives, spears, bows and arrows, and the weapons are barely on par with the regular army.
But even so, Li Mi was still not sure that he would be able to defeat Zhang Xutuo.
"What do you have to do?" Li Mi asked everyone.
Xu Shiji said: "Zhang Xutuo can be good at fighting, and he is better at fighting tough battles, he once served under Yang Su and Shi Wansui, and is well versed in the art of war, we are fighting him head-on, definitely not an opponent, if you want to defeat him, you can only rely on ambushes, set up a bureau, let him jump in, and catch turtles in an urn, otherwise the morale of our army cannot be suppressed to deal with, even if there are many people, it still can't resist." ”
"Incoming?" Li Mi was stunned.
Xu Shiji nodded and said: "Yes, fight head-on, our loosely disciplined new army, the peasant rebel army, can't beat Zhang Xutuo's elite, try to disrupt and defeat the regular army, so that they can't be twisted into a one, and after the strength is loose, we can break them one by one!" ”
After Li Mi listened, his eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a touch of light and seen the direction tower from the darkness.
"Yes, set up a game, Zhang Xutuo is a fierce tiger, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Zhijie are three fierce wolves, once they all fall into the pit, no matter how they struggle, it will only be a battle of trapped beasts, and when the time comes, only we will slaughter." Li Mi nodded again and again, this scheme was very common, but it woke him up all of a sudden.
After listening to this, everyone was in high spirits, and seeing that the coach was confident and energetic, they also had some bottoms.
Li Mi said: "The key at the moment is how to lay out, naturally not abruptly, so that Zhang Xutuo is difficult to detect, and it can also be interlocking, swallowing all the Sui army, the most important thing, the tiger, those fierce wolves, will be caught, all in one net." ”
Jia Xiong sighed: "Mi Gong, this game is not easy to set up, Zhang Xutuo is good at using tricks, and has repeatedly won more with less, if he makes a plan, it is difficult to believe it easily." ”
Chai Xiaohe said: "Yes, Zhang Xutuo is not completely brave and unscrupulous, he has won more with less several times, and suppressed many rebels, which should not be underestimated. ”
Fang Yanzao proposed: "It's better to advance as retreat, pretend to be defeated, and introduce our encirclement." ”
Jia Xiong shook his head and said: "This is back to the original point, what kind of strategy, people can't see that it is a plan, so that Zhang Xutuo and the fierce generals around him can't detect it, and they can enter the game." ”
The generals and strategists discussed a lot, and they were all thinking about it, but those generals were at a loss, and it was difficult for them to think of good strategies, and the strategists played a greater role in this regard.
Li Mi stood up and paced back and forth, looking at the map from time to time, carefully searching for terrain that could be ambushed.
In the entire big tent, there was silence for a while, and no one dared to make a loud noise, for fear of destroying Li Mi's thinking strategy.
After a while, Li Mi suddenly saw a location, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, and it was another road leading to the direction of Jintiguan, if he fled from there, it would be reasonable.
He looked excited and said, "Look at the map, the Great Sea Temple is there!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all set their eyes on the Dahai Temple in the northeast of Xingyang, where there was a mountain with an ancient temple on it, and a dense forest and road under the mountain, which could lead to the crossing of the Yellow River or go around Jintiguan, but it was not on the road they usually walked.
Li Mi said: "There are mountain roads here, there are also dense forests, if you can ambush a few elite soldiers here, keep killing them, cut off the Sui army, and surround them heavily, then Zhang Xutuo and Luo Shixin and others, no matter how brave and good they fight, it will be difficult to escape." ”
Jia Xiong clapped his hands and applauded: "Wonderful, this place is indeed suitable for ambushes, and it is not easy to be detected in advance, because no one would have thought that we would take that road." ”
"After thinking about the ambush location, it's good to think about it now, how to lure the enemy into the bait, without paying some price, Zhang Xutuo and others will not be easily fooled." Li Mi's eyes were fierce, and then he calculated the pros and cons.
Li Mi suddenly thought of a plan and said: "In this way, before I lure the enemy, it is best to fight a few tough battles with the Sui army head-on, but I can't do my best." You must have read the history, you have heard of the allusions to Tian Ji horse racing, Sun Bin Qi won the move, but adjusted the order of the horse racing, with the inferior horse against the opponent's first-class horse, in turn to change the order, but achieved miraculous results. We are also following this method in this battle against the Sui army. ”
"Our elite troops can't stop the elite under Zhang Xutuo's command, our medium combat strength is not as good as the opponent's, and our new army and the old and weak are not as well-trained as the other party's new army."
"If our side can retain the elite, put all of them in the ambush site, use the new army and the men and horses with medium combat power, and fight hard with the opponent several times, we can continue to consume the main elite of the other side, and we can also train our own recruits, and we can show the enemy weakness, giving the Sui army an impression that our army's combat effectiveness is not enough, and after a few battles, when the time comes, Zhang Xutuo will not think that there is fraud."
As soon as his strategy came out, everyone suddenly showed surprise, and their eyes showed admiration for Li Mi.
Of course, this strategy cannot be described as neither poisonous nor ruthless, because those inferior armies are likely to become victims and be slaughtered by the main force of the Sui army.
