Chapter 138: Planning
Li Haochen knew in his heart that the truth of the speed of the soldiers, the trapping camp was formed by his hard work, to say that he was not distressed to put the trapping camp in such a dangerous situation, it would be a lie, in order to reduce the losses of the trapping camp and keep the trump card troops he had formed, he had to set off overnight, and he didn't care about anything else, and because of this, Li Haochen's Liwei today almost killed him.
Generals at all levels were Li Haochen's iron-fisted so-called sacrifice, at this moment the three armies were ordered to prohibit, after getting the order to set off for the whole army, although these generals were a little unhappy in their hearts, but no one dared to disobey the yang and the yin, that is, in a quarter of an hour, the three armies were ready, and when Li Haochen gave an order, the three armies marched towards Tongguan in a mighty way.
On the way to the march, Li Haochen wanted to ride forward, but was forcibly pulled down by Wei Zheng in his carriage, but Li Haochen had no choice but to march in the carriage, and when he entered the carriage, Wei Zheng said with a solemn expression: "Haochen, I know that you are anxious to establish your authority and eager to solve the danger of Tongguan, but Haochen, do you know that you shouldn't take the Dugu order anyway!" Do you know who this Dugu Ling is? He is the brother of the late Dugu Empress Dowager, the uncle of the current saint, you will make His Majesty very embarrassed by doing this, you beat him now, I'm afraid he won't give up! Saying that, Wei Zheng looked at Li Haochen with a concerned expression, and Li Haochen also sighed when he heard the words and said: "Brother Wei, how can I not know what you say, but this army is definitely looking for someone with a prominent status, and besides, if he violates military discipline first, my majesty will definitely find out!" Brother Wei, you can relax, don't worry, let's discuss how to solve the siege of Tongguan! Saying that, Li Haochen took out the map of Tongguan that he carried with him, and looked at Wei Zheng with a very serious expression.
Wei Zhenglian sighed a few times and said: "I know you are quick-minded, but for my brother, I still want to say a word, be careful in everything, the gentleman is easy to provoke, and the villain is difficult, I think that Dugu Ling's behavior is definitely not done by a gentleman, Haochen, you should be careful in everything!" ”
Although Li Haochen was very disappreciative when he heard this, he also knew that Wei Zheng was for his good, so he didn't say anything, but nodded, saying that he would act carefully to reassure Wei Zheng, and after speaking, the two discussed the next plan.
Li Haochen and Wei Zheng, after discussing for a while, agreed on two marching plans, the first is to enter Tongguan directly, and the herald trapped camp also quickly returned to the city, and Li Shimin tug-of-war, Li Shimin's supply line is relatively long, and after a long time, it will inevitably be unable to supply grain and grass, resulting in the discouragement of the army, and when the time comes, he will go out of the city to meet the enemy, annihilate Li Shimin's 150,000 army in one fell swoop, and achieve victory.
The second way is to detour through Tongguan to directly meet Li Shimin's army, and use tactics to directly break Li Shimin's army, which can effectively shorten the war time and reduce the burden on the country, but it is obviously risky to do so.
Li Haochen and Wei Zheng were undecided for a while, Li Haochen asked people to call Fang Xuanling and discussed together, Li Haochen told Fang Xuanling the agreed idea between him and Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling just pondered slightly and said: "Marshal, supervising the army, Xuanling thinks that this first method is too long, some people and money, this second method is too radical, the risk factor is too great, if our army is defeated by Li Shimin, it will inevitably let it take advantage of the situation and take the empty Chang'an at the moment in one fell swoop, If this is the case, we will inevitably become the sinners of history, I think we should first carry out a tentative attack on Li Shimin's army, if the melee battle goes well then we will implement the second plan, if the battle is unfavorable, then we will retreat to Tongguan and fight a protracted war, so that we can also solve the trouble of the trapped camp, I think that at this moment the trapped camp will inevitably be surrounded by Li Shimin, even if our heralds can enter the encirclement network to convey orders to General Zhang Han, I am afraid that the trapped camp will not be able to obey the military order at this moment, if we tentatively attack Li Shimin, In this way, Li Shimin will inevitably focus on us, and when the time comes, the camp will be able to take the opportunity to break through and enter Tongguan. ”
After listening to Fang Xuanling's analysis, Li Haochen nodded and said that he recognized Fang Xuanling's words, and after receiving Li Haochen's order, Fang Xuanling conveyed the next marching route to the outside.
At this moment, Li Haochen is looking at the sky outside the carriage window through the window of the carriage, as if he can see some heavenly opportunity, and no one knows what Li Haochen is thinking at this moment.
At the same time, after a few days of adjustment and testing, Li Shimin already knew that there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses on this mountain, and then ordered to attack the mountain frantically, and under the fierce attack, the rolling stone and sassal wood that were not stored much on the mountain were exhausted, and he was about to enter a cruel hand-to-hand battle. Although the trapped camp was high and defended, this round of attrition caused Li Shimin's army to suffer nearly 10,000 casualties, but for Li Shimin, who had an army of 150,000, it had not hurt the bones.
Zhang Han saw that the rolling stones and sassards had disappeared, so he organized a trap camp to set up a defensive formation and prepare to defend against the enemy. At the same time, he shouted: "The general is on the way to and from Tongguan, since the formation of our trapped camp, Yang Wei in Xuanwu Gate, meritorious service by the Weishui side, the big and small battles experienced have never failed, today the enemy invaded, I have the obligation to protect the land and defend the family, although the blood is spilled on the battlefield, we can not take half a step back, because behind us are our wives and children, and at the same time, we can not disgrace the general when we are trapped, don't you say?" ”
After listening to Zhang Han's encouraging words, the trapped camp shouted in unison: "There is no life until you are trapped, and there is no life when you are trapped!" ...... "This is the honor of their camp, the honor they have piled up with the lives of their enemies and defended with their own lives, and they cannot retreat, they cannot let this honor be dusted."
Seeing this, Li Shimin also had the intention of subduing this army, so he ordered to stop the attack first, and immediately stepped forward, shouting to the trapped camp on the mountain: "I am Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who was the king of Qin, and I am the king of Qin, why did you stop my army, and I was deceived by traitors, only if you now repent and take refuge in this king, this king will definitely treat you preferentially, and do not hold you responsible, if you are still stubborn, this king will lead a large army to attack the mountain now, When the time comes, we will call for the summit to be annihilated! ”
