Chapter 332: Pre-War Planning
Two days later, on the city of Songzhou, Li Qing, who was still dressed in Xuanyi, stood in the wind, rich and handsome, like a celestial, and the generals of the army behind him stood in turn, and from the position of everyone, it undoubtedly showed that the army lords behind him had unconsciously really regarded the man in front of him as the commander, not because of his noble status, and only superficial respect for him!
A Jianmen brigade commander walked up to the front and bowed down and said: "Your Highness, Tan Malai reported that the Tubo military camp has recovered after two days of rest, and at this moment their military camp is advancing twenty miles, less than thirty miles away from Songzhou!" “
Waving back the commander of the Sword Gate Brigade and looking at the commanders of the various armies behind him, Li Qing said lightly: "Do you know what the intentions of Tubo are? ”
After Li Qing finished speaking, Wang Yan, the chief general of Longzhou, who was eager to perform, arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, on Qinling, this person is extremely cunning, this move is advancing with the whole battalion, it must be to test the attitude of our army, if our army does not react to their move in the slightest, they will definitely think that our army has no capital to compete with them, and next, they are afraid that they will attack Songzhou with all their might!"
"Therefore, the last general suggested that instead of passively facing the battle at that time, it is better to send an elite army to attack now, and give them a huge blow while Tubo is not firmly established, so that they will not dare to act rashly!"
Wang Yan's words, when all the main generals thought that the Xuanyi Shou King in front of him would agree to Wang Yan's suggestion, who would have thought that the man in front of him would actually say with a calculating face: "The Lord of Longzhou is reasonable, but this king does not intend to do this!" ”
Since then, even if a group of soldiers and horses were sent to successfully attack the Tibetan camp, it must not have dealt them any fatal blow. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Moreover, in the confrontation for several days in a row, this king also has a little understanding of the Qinling, with his experience in commanding troops cautiously all the year round, since we can think of taking the initiative to attack when his foothold is not stable, he can naturally also think of it, maybe from this moment, the Qinling has already laid an ambush and is waiting for us to fall into the trap.
After saying that, he turned to look at the generals of the armies with a frightened face, and said without doubt: "Pass on the king's order." The whole army will not be able to hold out, and anyone who dares to attack without authorization will be dealt with by military law, no matter what. It is necessary to give Tubo the illusion that there are not enough guards and horses in Songzhou City at this moment! ”
Originally, they understood a little because of King Shou's explanation, but when they heard this abrupt order at this moment, everyone became puzzled again, and finally Mu Fan, who was still standing in the corner in white armor, opened his mouth and said puzzledly: "Your Highness, what does this mean?" ”
Mu Fan asked. Li Qing, who had the heart to cultivate Mu Fan, naturally opened his mouth and said: "Soldiers, treacherous ways, marching and fighting pay attention to fiction and reality, no matter when, you must not let the other party master all the details of yourself!" Previously, the defeat of Qinling was defeated because he did not see the situation of our army clearly, and paid the price of 5,000 people, but this time, this king wants his head! “
Speaking of this, a trace of obvious ambition appeared in the originally deep eyes!
Then he turned his head to look at the commander of the West Battalion of the City Defense Army beside him and said, "I can receive a military report from the direction of Hanzhou!" ”
After Li Qing finished speaking, Shi Hao arched his hand and said, "Your Highness." I just got the news that the soldiers and horses of Hanzhou have cleared the Tibetan soldiers and horses in Victoria at noon yesterday, and they will rest all night, and they will set off from Victoria this morning, and they will definitely be able to support Songzhou before sunset! ”
breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if the soldiers and horses of Hanzhou arrived, Li Qing would at least increase his confidence by thirty percent in this battle.
In fact, it was not only Li Qing who breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, the generals of the various armies standing around Li Qing could arrive in Songzhou before the sunset of the soldiers and horses in Hanzhou, and the originally hanging hearts were also completely sunk at this moment. Although they didn't want to admit it, they also had to admit that the soldiers and horses of Hanzhou were not comparable to them in terms of the level of elite or the number of troops.
Everyone had no doubt that if there was the support of Hanzhou soldiers and horses. Even if Tubo attacked Songzhou with all his troops, Songzhou would be absolutely as stable as Mount Tai.
Glancing at the young Maozhou army, Li Qing opened his mouth and ordered: "From now on, gather all the fire oil in Songzhou City, the more the merrier!" ”
After that, I looked at the moat under the city that was about three zhang wide and about two zhang deep, because the weather was dry in winter. There was no river water in the moat, and Li Qing said without changing his face: "As far as this king knows, there is a large area of wood forest in the west of the city, and from now on, Shi Hao led his soldiers and horses to cut down trees together with the soldiers and horses of Maozhou, cut down a wooden spear about one and a half zhang long, and inserted it into the moat!" ”
Moreover, there is an inexhaustible river in the east of the city that winds through the entire western city wall all year round, and although the water of the river is insufficient due to the weather and topography, it is more than enough to fill the entire moat with the water of this river!
Listening to King Shou's series of instructions, many of the generals have understood what kind of mind King Shou is thinking in front of him, and everyone has no doubt that if he is really succeeded by His Royal Highness King Shou in front of him, Tubo will definitely lose a lot this time.
But what everyone didn't understand was why the Xuanyi Shou King in front of him was so sure that Tubo in front of him would make up his mind to fall into his trap!
Perhaps seeing what everyone was thinking, Li Qing opened his mouth to explain: "On Qinling, this person is extremely conceited and good at reverse thinking, but if he is a person else, he knows what is happening in our army at the moment, and he will definitely attack immediately, but on Qinling, this person will endure for a while!" “
When we let our guard down and thought that the other party would not take the initiative to attack, that is, when the whole army of Qinling came to attack! “
Listening to Li Qing's obvious hint, the kind-faced deputy general of Maozhou spoke: "Your Highness... means that tonight, Tubo will attack the city?" ”
Nodding, Li Qing said lightly: "That's right, so the order of this king just now must be executed before sunset!" , there are generals of Lao! ”
Seeing that Li Qing gave up his hand, everyone spoke: "Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely complete the task!" With that, they turned around one after another, and each of them led his cronies in groups of three or five to prepare.
If it was so ordered by others, they would at most be skeptical, and then disdainful, but thinking about the achievements of the Xuanyi Shou King in front of them a few days ago, everyone unconsciously chose to believe in the Xuanyi Shou King in front of them, and even if they really guessed wrong, there was no loss with everyone, at most it was just a bit of fatigue, on the contrary, if this battle is successful, then everyone present is a meritorious general, and everyone knows that this battle is not as small as in the past.
When everyone left, looking at Shi Hao, the chief general of the city defense army who had not yet left, Li Qing opened his mouth and ordered: "Send people and horses to deliver the news to the main general of Hanzhou, so that they don't have to rush to Songzhou to support, just lurk in Gansong Ridge, and wait until the Tubo people are exhausted, take down their big camp and cut off their back road!" ”
Seeing Li Qing's order, Shi Hao nodded knowingly, and then turned around and ordered the people to start doing it immediately! (To be continued.) )
