Wang Fangyi led 3,000 cavalry and launched an attack on Xue Yantuo's forward army.

This time, both sides were just tentative.

Both sides sent 3,000 strikers to try to test the depth of the other.

In the back, there are large armies to answer.

Xue Yannian and Li Su both observed the battle from a high place.

They should see the strength and weaknesses of the other side, and then they can make targeted deployments on the battlefield in the future.

On Xue Yantuo's side, the striker sent was Xue Yanli.

In fact, in terms of qualifications, Xue Yanshou and Xue Yanhong are worse than Xue Yanli.

But there is no way, Xue Yanshou is a centrist, and Xue Yanhong is an oppositionist.

Sending them, Xue Yannian was really not too relieved.

After a while, three thousand soldiers from both sides began to make contact.

The cavalry fought, and after entering the range of the arrows of both sides, both sides began to attack with bows and arrows, opening the prelude to the attack.

Then Xue Yannian, the military advisor on Xue Yantuo's side, suddenly found that the bows and arrows of the Tang Dynasty were almost the same as them.

Even, slightly worse than them.

Seeing this scene, Xue Yantuo couldn't help frowning tightly.

Hey?

It shouldn't be!

Doesn't it say that the Tang Dynasty is rich and the people are strong?

In that case, how can their armaments be worse than ours?

Could it be that there is fraud in it?

Xue Yannian's heart was full of suspicions, and he couldn't help but take a closer look.

If Datang really cheats, I believe he can't escape his eyes.

The speed of the horses on both sides is very fast, and it is basically time for both sides to shoot a round of bows and arrows.

The distance between the two sides was already very close, and it was too late to shoot the second round of bows and arrows at this time.

The soldiers on both sides quickly put away their bows and arrows, drew their long knives, and quickly rushed towards each other.

It didn't take long for the two sides to get into a bitter battle.

At this time, Xue Yannian took a closer look.

This time, he saw very clearly that the combat effectiveness of the Tang soldiers was indeed lower than that of Xue Yantuo.

This cannot be faked at all, and on the battlefield, the truth is clear at a glance.

Moreover, the cooperation of the Tang soldiers is much behind that of Xue Yantuo.

It seems that the combat effectiveness of these Tang soldiers is actually not much stronger than that of the Turks, and they are basically at the same level.

At this time, on the side of the Tang soldiers, there began to be dead and wounded.

And as time went on, the casualties began to intensify.

There were more and more casualties, and the Tang soldiers began to be unable to withstand it.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Fangyi hurriedly withdrew his troops and withdrew the soldiers.

Xue Yanli was overjoyed when he saw the situation, and hurriedly ordered Xue Yantuo's soldiers to take advantage of the situation to pursue, followed behind, and beheaded the Tang soldiers in the rear army one after another.

And Xue Yantuo's military Xue Yannian, worried that the Tang Dynasty would deceive, he couldn't help but order people to withdraw his troops.

Xue Yanli, who won a big victory, looked unhappy when he came back.

"Military advisor, the last general will kill the Tang army and flee in the wilderness! As long as you take advantage of the victory to pursue, you can completely annihilate the three thousand pioneers of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know why the military division wants to withdraw the troops at this time? ”

In Xue Yanli's opinion, if Xue Yannian did not withdraw his troops, he would definitely be able to kill the 3,000 Tang Dynasty vanguard army without leaving a piece of armor and obtain greater military achievements.

And now?

Don't look at the very lively killing in this half day, in fact, it is just a mere killing of one or two hundred Tang soldiers.

And on their own side, seventy or eighty people were killed and wounded.

The so-called killing of 1,000 enemies and self-loss of 800.

To be able to achieve this kind of record is enough to be proud!

However, the pursuit of deserters is the most rewarding moment!

At this time, you can exchange the least price for the biggest victory.

It was at this time that they were interrupted by their military advisor.

As soon as he thought of this, Xue Yanli was angry.

And Xue Yannian said cautiously: "General Xue, don't you think that the Tang army was defeated too quickly?" I'm also worried that the Tang Dynasty will deceive and set up an ambush, and I am also thinking about you that I will withdraw my troops! ”

Hearing Xue Yannian's words, Xue Yanli's nose was not a nose, and his face was not a face: "Then I have to thank you?" Why did the Datang army rout so quickly? Isn't it because the soldiers under my command are united and work together to be invincible? ”

"If the military is afraid that the Tang army will have an ambush, why not order all the troops and horses, and the army will cover up the past together? If the military advisor really does this, I'm afraid that now we have completely defeated the Tang army! ”

Xue Yannian was very angry after being scolded, and he wanted to come back.

But thinking about Xue Yanli, he just won, and finally endured it.

However, this confrontation is very morale-boosting.

The soldiers of Xue Yantuo, who were still very frightened, were greatly boosted at this time.

Xue Yanli, who was originally a centrist, is now completely on their side.

Xue Yanhong, who was originally in opposition, has become a centrist at this time.

……

Defeated and returned, Wang Fangyi was very aggrieved.

Return to the handsome tent and return to Li Su.

"Your Highness, the last general has completed his mission and come to hand in the errand."

It turned out that Wang Fangyi had always called Master Li Su and His Royal Highness, which was still Li Su's request.

In the army, there must be rules in the army, and no other titles can be brought in.

Not even father and son.

In fact, Li Su watched the battle just now, from beginning to end.

And Li Su has already arranged the layers of backhand.

If Xue Yantuo only had 3,000 vanguard troops to pursue, Li Su would only scare them away, not startle them.

What Li Yu wants to see most is, of course, that Xue Yantuo orders 200,000 troops and covers them together.

Well, 200,000 troops seem to be a bit much, and although this battlefield is empty, it is generally unlikely that so many troops will be sent.

As long as the other party sends an army of 350,000 troops, Li Su will quickly eat them.

But Xue Yantuo was very cautious, and he took the initiative to withdraw his troops.

Looks like we have to give them a little more confidence.

Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but say to Wang Fangyi: "General Wang, you did a good job today. Tomorrow, when you go to challenge again, you will still be defeated but not won. And like today. ”

Hearing this, Wang Fangyi was suddenly unhappy.

"Your Highness, it is enough to let your subordinates go down to die. Tomorrow, you'd better choose another master! ”

Li Su sank his face and asked, "Subordinate?" Is that your subordinate? That's obviously a Turkic soldier, when did you become your subordinate? ”

Hearing King Shu's words, Wang Fangyi blinked his eyes, and then he reacted.

yes, it doesn't seem like my subordinates are the ones who died?

So why am I so excited?

Hey, I didn't react for a while.

Thinking of this, Wang Fangyi couldn't help but reply: "Your Highness, the last general understands!" Tomorrow, the end will go again. By the way, Your Highness, do you want to let them die a little more? ”

Li Su waved his hand and said, "No need, the Turkic soldiers are also human lives!" Of course, more importantly, if you do it too fakely, they will inevitably see the flaws. Alright, you go down first. ”

"Yes!"

It turned out that after making pre-war arrangements yesterday, Li Su suddenly thought of a question.

That is, if it is a feint, then to what extent?

If it's only three rounds of fighting, and no one dies, isn't it too fake to lose at this time?

The other party is not a fool either, will they believe it?

In fact, the trick of feint defeat has existed since ancient times.

As the losing party, there will inevitably be a certain price.

Let's say, there will definitely be some dead and wounded soldiers, and then they will be defeated.

Otherwise, the other party is not a fool, and he fled before he could fight, so wouldn't the other party be wary at all?

Feint defeat must pay a certain price with lives.

The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, this is the truth.

If you can't see casualties, then it's better not to bring troops.

But for Li Su, he is a master who can't see the casualties of his subordinates.

If it is a frontal battlefield, it is just a matter of fighting and dying, this is inevitable after all.

But just for the sake of a strategy, let the subordinates go down to death?

This is something that Li Su is really difficult to accept.

Moreover, the army of the Tang Dynasty, under the training of Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai and Wang Fangyi, had high combat effectiveness.

Unless they are sent to death motionless, if they really fight, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the other party to kill them.

Is it that the soldiers were ordered to send themselves to death?

So that's hard, isn't it?

There is a big loophole in feigning this plan.

Li Su couldn't help frowning, thinking about it for a long time.

After thinking about it for more than half an hour, Li Su's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a solution.

Li Su directly sent someone to repair a letter to the Turkic Khan and ordered him to select 3,000 Turkic soldiers in the army, and also select soldiers who did not have such obvious Turkic style.

In terms of combat effectiveness, it is even weaker.

As for the reason for the selection of these 3,000 soldiers, Li Su did not hide it from the Khan of Libi at all, but directly made it clear in the letter.

This time, in order to aid the Turks, the Tang Dynasty sent an army of 250,000.

Turkic, how can it be that there is no indication at all?

Now you need to feint, you need to die, of course, you have to let the Turkic soldiers go up!

Mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth!

After seeing the letter, the Turkic Khan did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered someone to select 3,000 suitable Turkic soldiers, and then ordered them to report to the Tang Army.

If you can exchange the lives of these 3,000 Turkic sons for a big victory, drive Xue Yantuo away completely, and solve this threat.

For them Turks, it was definitely a sure-fire deal.

Because of this, the object of today's Xue Yantuo army's battle is actually not the Tang Dynasty soldiers at all, but their old opponents, the Turkic soldiers.

Even these Turkic soldiers were deliberately selected as weak soldiers.

It would be strange if they didn't rout quickly.

And Li Su's strategy also succeeded in paralyzing Xue Yantuo.

The next day, Wang Fangyi led more than 2,000 Turkic soldiers to continue to challenge Xue Yantuo's forward.

This time, they put on a posture of wanting to break the kettle and be ashamed.

Even Xue Yantuo's military advisor, Xue Yannian, was taken aback.

But the result is almost exactly the same as yesterday.

After the Tang army left the corpse on the ground, he fled in embarrassment.

And this time, Xue Yannian still cautiously chose Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Because he still can't confirm whether this is Datang's trap or not.

And Xue Yannian's decision, the three generals under his command who were angry were all on fire in their eyes.

From the third day onwards, the Datang Pioneer did not come to challenge, as if he was afraid of Xue Yantuo's army.

Next, in order to continue to test the Tang army, Xue Yannian continued to launch a tentative attack on the Tang Dynasty.

After Datang resisted twice and ended in defeat, Datang began to shrink and no longer accepted Xue Yantuo's challenge.

At this time, Xue Yannian still did not dare to launch a full-scale attack.

Xue Yanhua was angry, and couldn't help yelling at Xue Yannian: "Fight or not fight, go and don't go?" What do you want? If you really don't dare to fight, you might as well withdraw quickly! ”

Xue Yanli squinted at Xue Yannian and said, "Strategist, you are so cowardly, how can you achieve great things?" If you don't dare to order a duel with Datang, or I'll do it! ”

"Let the mesized, and the capable up! You can't do it, change me! I look down on you girl! ”

Xue Yanshou also persuaded: "Commander, now our army has won one after another, and the morale is high. On the other hand, the Tang army's morale was low because of repeated defeats. ”

"Our morale has reached its peak. And Datang's morale is low and has fallen to a low point. ”

"Now that we are fighting against Datang, it is absolutely overwhelming, absolutely crushing! If you miss this great opportunity, you may not have such a good opportunity next time! ”

Xue Yanhong said: "Strategist, I think that although the Tang Dynasty is defeated but not chaotic, it is better not to be too hasty." I think we can take a gradual approach to cannibalization! It's good to weaken Datang little by little! ”

Xue Yanhua: "Get out!" ”

Xue Yanli: "Get out!" ”

Xue Yanshou: "Get out!" ”

Xue Yanhong: "......"

At this time, after some careful consideration, Xue Yannian also felt that the time was ripe to fight.

In fact, it was mainly Xue Yanshou's words that moved him.

That's right, now they Xue Yantuo are single-minded, and their momentum is like a rainbow.

And the morale of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty has fallen to a low point, and now is a good time to use soldiers.

The so-called one blow, and then exhaust three and decline!

The morale of their Xue Yantuo soldiers could not be maintained at the peak all the time.

After this village, there is no such shop.

Thinking of this, Xue Yannian couldn't help but say: "Okay, since you all agree to send troops, then we will send troops and take down the 200,000 army of Datang in one fell swoop!" ”

Xue Yanhua, Xue Yanli, Xue Yanshou, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw joy in each other's eyes.

Xue Yannian couldn't help but continue: "What if you attack Datang on a big scale? I've already figured out the strategy. ”

"Now Datang has been scared by us, and he doesn't dare to confront us head-on, and he hasn't been able to shrink back."

"What I'm most afraid of now is that once we attack in a big way and they retreat to Shuozhou, then we will face an embarrassing dilemma."

"So, the best thing to do is to force them to have a decisive battle with us!"

"My solution is to lay out the nameless mountain as the center! Nameless Mountain is the place where they hoard grain and grass. Their grain and grass are basically stored here! ”

"And the location of the nameless mountain is right in the middle. My suggestion is that we should repair the plank road in the open and the darkness in the warehouse. We are openly preparing for a big attack. ”

"Secretly, it is to send a large army to attack the Nameless Mountain and besiege the Nameless Mountain."

Hearing Xue Yannian's words, Xue Yanhua couldn't help frowning and asked, "Military Division, aren't we going to be surrounded by counter-surrounding?" Around the nameless mountain, there are Tang troops. If they were surrounded on all sides, there would be no way for this army to escape! Why don't you just burn their grain and grass? ”

Naturally, it is much easier to burn grain and grass than to besiege it.

Burning grain and grass, and even a small number of soldiers, taking the form of a sneak attack, can complete the task.

But the siege, it is much more difficult.

The terrain of Nameless Mountain is not so steep, but if you want to attack it, you need to at least triple the opponent's strength.

The Tang army in Nameless Mountain was about 3,000 people.

Then they have to send at least 10,000 people.

And these 10,000 people, if they are dumplings by Datang, it will be a major loss for them.

Therefore, they could not understand why the military division would resort to the tactic of encirclement, and not directly set fire.

How exciting is running after setting a fire?

Hearing Xue Yanhua's words, Xue Yannian smiled and said, "It's very simple! Because the strategy we have to adopt is to encircle the point and send reinforcements! ”

"If we burn their food and grass in one fire, they will have only one way to retreat."

"But if we besiege the grain and grass, but it is not burned, do you say, will they send troops to rescue us?"

This, almost certainly!

There is no need to say anything about the importance of grain and grass to the army.

If the grain and grass are really burned, there is no way to do it.

Then the Tang Army will definitely not choose to fight hard with them, and will definitely choose to retreat helplessly.

However, if it is surrounded but not burned, I believe that the Tang Army will definitely send troops to support.

When the time comes, they can surround the nameless mountain and come to a siege point to send reinforcements.

Force Datang to start a decisive battle with them!

After listening to Xue Yannian's explanation, Xue Yanli couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and said, "Strategist, you are still cunning!" Or are you bad! ”

I've got a big groove!

Is your family so boastful?

If you don't boast, don't boast.

If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!

……

The plan has been decided, and on the second day, Xue Yantuo changed his normal state and directly chose the army to suppress the realm.

Seeing this, Datang was extremely dignified, relying on the fortifications to resist Xue Yantuo's attack.

Secretly, Xue Yannian ordered Xue Yanhong to lead an army of 10,000.

Quietly passed through a defensive blind spot exposed by Datang because of the retreat.

This defensive blind spot was small and short, but it was seized by Xue Yannian in time.

And Xue Yannian not only sent Xue Yanhong, but also sent Xue Yanshou.

Of course, Xue Yanshou did not follow Xue Yanhong to besiege Nameless Mountain.

After all, the two of them have a full 100,000 troops, and with so many troops, they can't be placed in the place of the Nameless Mountain.

Xue Yanshou led the 50,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters, as well as the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses of Xue Yanhong, to lurk outside.

Prepare to launch an attack at any time, and attack the Tang army with internal and external cooperation.

At this time, Xue Yanhua's 100,000 troops outside were pressing the Datang defense line.

Ready to attack, you can attack at any moment.

And the Tang army, in the face of the fierce and incomparable Xue Yantuo army, did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and could only defend passively.

In this case, Xue Yanhong successfully led 10,000 Xue Yantuo soldiers to besiege the Nameless Mountain.

On the nameless mountain, there were only 3,000 Tang soldiers, and now they couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw a black pressure on a group of Xue Yantuo soldiers suddenly appearing and besieging them.

Frightened, they hurriedly lit a bonfire and signaled for help.

The billowing wolf smoke rose into the sky, and was soon seen by Li Su.

Li Su couldn't help but smile slightly, his smile was very hearty.

It's not easy, after constantly showing weakness, Xue Yantuo's army was finally fooled.

Now that they're in the trap, let's get started!

First of all, eat the 10,000 Xue Yantuo team that he took the initiative to send to the door.

This is the fat meat sent to the door, and if you don't eat it, you're sorry for Xue Yantuo's hard work.

And Xue Yantuo's army, which was preparing to encircle and send reinforcements, could also eat as much as they could.

As for Xue Yantuo's army, which was putting pressure on Datang head-on, Li Su was not ready to move.

If you want to move those 100,000 troops together, it will be a real decisive battle between the two sides.

The troops that have been paved in are too large, and under the melee, although Li Su has absolute confidence, they will definitely have the upper hand.

But he wounded 1,000 enemies and 800 himself.

When the time comes, the Tang army will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, Li Su did not want to break out into a full-scale battle.

The 100,000 Xue Yantuo army in front, Li Su was ready to drag them down.

Let them attack and attack, they want to retreat, and they don't dare to retreat for a while.

And here, quickly destroy the enemy.

If it is done quickly enough, it can even be used to cripple the Xue Yantuo team that attacked and ambushed Xue Yantuo before their military advisor Xue Yanli could not react at all.

Next, Li Su continued to give various orders.

"General Cheng listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

"You take your headquarters soldiers and horses, quickly go to the Nameless Mountain, according to the tactics formulated in advance, and work with the defenders of the Nameless Mountain to defeat the 10,000 Xue Yantuo army besieging the Nameless Mountain!"

"The order of the last general!"

"General Qin listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

"You lead the men and horses of your headquarters to ambush Xue Yantuo's ambush army, and your task is to keep them out of our protective line!"

"The last will be ordered!"

"General Wei Chi listens to orders"

"The last general!"

"You lead the people of your headquarters to ambush Xue Yantuo's army behind your back, and join forces with General Qin to defeat Xue Yantuo's ambush army in one fell swoop!"

"The last will be ordered!"

"General Li listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

"You lead the people of your headquarters, follow the king, and be ready to assist the defense line of Wang Fangyi, as well as the defense lines of other generals!"

"The last general will obey the order!"

Well, compared to several other generals, Li Daozong is purely here to experience life.

Several other generals may also need military merit.

And Li Daozong, in fact, military merits are not military merits, and they are no longer of much use to him.

Therefore, Li Su arranged him by his side.

In this way, in the end, his military merits must be the least.

For this position, he is also the best candidate, there is no one!

After getting the order, Cheng Yanjin was very excited.

In the past few days, watching Wang Fangyi's little guy defeat the battle every day, he has never been able to get a chance to go to the battlefield at all.

Cheng Yanjin was really suffocated.

And this time, he finally got the opportunity, and Cheng Yanjin could finally let himself go completely.
