Chapter Ninety-Four: Udrul

"It's not that there are no solutions, but there are certain prerequisites for implementation." Zhang Juntai pondered for a while, and then said to Li Wenyuan.

"Oh? Juntai, what can you say? What kind of premise is needed? Li Wenyuan asked curiously after hearing this.

"Li Liang poured out of the nest this time, relying only on those Turkic cavalry who were good at riding and shooting. Because of the presence of those cavalry, our infantry did not dare to leave the camp to fight in the field easily, and we also needed to invest more manpower and material resources to ensure the smooth transportation of logistics materials. In addition, if the Guazhou front line is close to Li Rail's lair, if it drags on for a long time, it will inevitably drag our logistics to exhaustion. At that time, even if we don't fight, we can only choose to retreat. So my idea is that we should concentrate all our mobile forces and completely wipe out this Turkic cavalry. In this way, after eliminating the threat to our logistics, we can even follow the example of the governor during the previous expedition to Goguryeo. Select some elite cavalry troops, and then disperse them into small units to infiltrate the rear of Li Liang's army to attack his logistics and transportation lines. In this way, in the long run, we will be able to take advantage of our smooth logistics and transportation to suppress Li Liang, forcing him to gradually withdraw his army to the direction of the Dunhuang Army or be wiped out by us in Guazhou. But the premise of all this is to completely destroy the Turkic cavalry, and until the Turkic cavalry is wiped out, our army can only camp and hold on. With the help of barracks and muskets, bows and arrows, they fended off the cavalry of the Turks. Zhang Juntai told Li Wenyuan all his thoughts.

"There were no good cavalry in Li Liang's army, and their cavalry did rely on this group of Turks, but at this time he transferred all the Turks to the front line in Guazhou. By the way, we still have a division in Dangjin Pass, where there are still 3,000 cavalry who can attack Li Liang's rear. In this way, you have someone tell Qin Qiong and ask him to wait until Li Rail transfers all the troops to the front line in Guazhou, and then find a way to attack the logistics and transportation line of Li Rail's army. Let their food and grass not reach the front line in full, and as for the Turkic cavalry, I will deal with them with the Udrus, and then wait for the opportunity to destroy them. During this period, Juntai, you stay in the army to preside over the military, and you must wait until Udrus and I defeat the Turkic cavalry. ”

After hearing Zhang Juntai's plan, Li Wenyuan remembered the Second Army that he had placed in Dangjin Pass. Since the Second Army was led by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin to occupy the Dangjin Pass, it has been guarding there several times. There was no external attack, which made Li Liang think that it was just a partial division of Li Wenyuan, an army used to defend his own attack on Li Wenyuan's rear passage. It could not pose any threat to his Dunhuang County, so he directly ignored this army when he transferred troops this time.

After receiving Li Wenyuan's order, Qin Qiong only wrote a short sentence in her reply: It will live up to its trust.

At this time, although the Qilian Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles, between the two armies, there is no mountain peak that cannot be climbed in front of the letter eagles carefully raised by the military lords. This also made Li Wenyuan's control of his army far greater than that of Li Liang's army, which also relied on messenger horses for information transmission, and Li Wenyuan firmly believed that this difference in the speed of information transmission could often determine the outcome of a war. The art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers are fast and fast.

Zhang Juntai has never disappointed Li Wenyuan about camping, at this time, in order to deal with the Turkic cavalry, Li Wenyuan found Udrus early to discuss countermeasures with him, and simply handed over all the affairs of Li Liang's army in this western expedition to Zhang Juntai to take care of on his behalf.

"Udrul, I let you practice those things, how are you doing?" As soon as Li Wenyuan and Uderu met, they didn't have time to be polite, so they went straight to the point and said to Uderu.

"Sir, do you mean those handcuffs? It had a lot of potential, but there was nothing that the warriors on the horse couldn't grasp. You can rest assured that this battle with the Turks will definitely give them a big surprise. Udrew patted his chest and assured Li Wenyuan.

"Let me tell you, Udru, some of the musketeers in the infantry phalanx last time were really not up to par, and they stuffed Lao Tzu with four or five rounds of ammunition in the chamber, and they were almost filled with the entire chamber. Don't make such a thing for me this time. Li Wenyuan smiled and patted Uderu on the shoulder and said.

"Haha, I've heard about what you're talking about, sir. In fact, they can't be blamed for this, no infantry can maintain a stable state of mind in the face of cavalry charges. To be honest, I am very impressed that they were able to maintain the large formation without breaking up in the face of an equal number of cavalry charges, and that they were able to reload at the same time. Even the warriors of the steppe could not maintain a very stable state of mind in the face of the cavalry charge. When he heard Li Wenyuan mention some interesting things on the battlefield some time ago, he also laughed and said: "But our cavalry is different from cavalry, everyone is a cavalry, you ride a four-legged horse, and I also ride a four-legged horse." If we can beat it, we will fight, and if we can't beat it, we will run. And don't worry about being caught up, what are you afraid of? ”

Li Wenyuan also nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'm relieved to have your Uderu words." In this battle, let's show these Turks what a ranger is. This time, you will still be the commander of the legion and lead the entire army and launch an attack on the Turkic cavalry. I'm going to be a creep under your command this time. Don't care what I do, you just don't exist for me, I can command how I want, I absolutely obey your orders, and I know the rules in the army. ”

Udror frowned and said, "Chief, this is too dangerous. Don't you believe in my Udrul's abilities? ”

"No, no, no, Udrul, it's not that I don't believe in your abilities. It's just that I came here once, and I didn't pick up the wolf flag to cheer up, I really felt that something was missing. ”

Li Wenyuan patted the horse lance that he was hanging on and said, "What's more, the kung fu right away, I should be a little better than you." ”

"Well, that's right. I still remember when the chief manager just came to Xue Ju's martial arts training ground. I was able to easily defeat the governor, but after all these years of participating in the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo with the governor, and practicing martial arts diligently on weekdays. The speed of progress has far surpassed mine, and since the chief manager insists on doing this, then I will show the general manager the means of my Udryu military training, which is no worse than Zhang Juntai. ”

Hearing Li Wenyuan mention his kung fu, Uderu couldn't help but recall the days when he first got acquainted with Li Wenyuan. secretly said in his heart, when Li Wenyuan said that he would make himself the new Turkic king, he still had a little disbelief in his heart. But in a short period of time, we have already begun to move towards this goal.

However, looking at the weapons equipped with his army, Udrul suddenly felt a sense of reluctance. If you really abandon these elites and instead rule the Turkic peoples who are still in the nomadic stage, are you really willing?
