Chapter 304: Offense and defense are not switchable

When three days later, Li Che, the commander of the military of the Jin Dynasty, led 5,000 reinforcements from Linyu Pass to return to Bingzhou, and learned that Yang Guang dealt with the Turkic prince Yongyu Lu's sudden night visit to the night after the incident, and he couldn't help but praise Yang Guang in person for having the style of a general and accommodating people.

When Li Che was in Linyu Pass, he had learned from Yang Guang's letter to Yang Shuang that the hussar battalion of the King of Jin that he had formed had suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers of the hussar battalion who died in Lingshi Fort had nearly half of the total number of hussar battalions.

Because Li Che's status was much higher than that of Duan Da and Yu Juluo, and his position in his own mansion was second only to Changshi Wang Shao, which was equivalent to Sima of the Jin Dynasty's palace, Yang Guangzi could not refuse his request, so he gathered the generals of the hussar battalion in the Xingtai Council Hall on the same day, and Li Che presided over a self-examination meeting after the formation of the hussar battalion.

As the leader of the hussar battalion who led the army to engage the Turkic iron cavalry directly, Yu Juluo thought that after he reported in detail to Yang Guang, Li Che and others about the battle with the Turkic iron cavalry outside Lingshi Fort that night, he would incur Li Che's severe punishment of himself, and even before the meeting, Yu Juluo had privately prepared to defend himself with the capture of An Suijia, in order to avoid the end of being dismissed from office and abandoning his post.

Who knows, after listening carefully to Yujuluo's report, Li Che did not mention that he should be held accountable for the defeat of Yujuluo's army, but concentrated on guiding the generals attending the meeting to discuss the pros and cons of the phalanx formation designed by Yang Su to deal with the Turkic iron cavalry. As an observer, it was the first time for Yang Guang to participate in a meeting where the generals in the army gathered together to concentrate on discussing formations and tactics, and he couldn't help but be very interested, sat on the sidelines, and listened attentively.

"General Duan, after listening to General Yu's introduction to the battle situation of Lingshi Fort, what is your opinion on the gains and losses of the tactics used by both the enemy and us in this battle?" Li Che first asked Duan Da, the leader of the hussar battalion.

"General Hui, the last general thought that General Yu did not detect the enemy's military strength at that time, he took the rash and personal leadership of the cavalry in the formation, rushed out of the formation, and turned defense into attack, which was actually the key to the battle from victory to defeat. General Xiang Yu stuck in the formation, and the camera used the formation change to resist the enemy's cavalry attack, but it did not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, causing so many casualties to our army. ”

As soon as he heard Duan Da speak, Yu Juluo blamed himself for using his troops improperly, and was eager to exonerate himself, so he hurriedly said: "General Duan was not present at the time, but I made it very clear that it was the Turkic cavalry who threw torches into the formation first, intending to break the phalanx with a fire attack. If I hadn't led the cavalry and fought to the death to attract the attention of the other party, there would not have been the later incident of Xian Yuluo burning the horse's tail and scaring away the Turkic iron cavalry......"

Yu Juluo owed Xian Yuluo a great life-saving feeling, and while trying his best to defend himself, he did not forget to give Xian Yuluo a credit, wanting to win him to stand on his side.

"Xian Yuluo, was this the situation at that time?" Because Yu Juluo mentioned Xian Yuluo who joined the hussar camp from his side, Yang Guang couldn't help but ask Xian Yuluo, who was sitting at the end of the seat.

"Back to the prince's words, what General Yu said is true, and there is no exaggeration. Small, no, the last general was in a hurry to rescue General Yu from the siege, and he was in a hurry to get wise, so he came up with such a way to burn the horse's tail......" Xian Yu Luo Teng stood up and replied with a fist in his fist.

"Good boy, but he has a lot of cleverness." Yang Guang blurted out praise for being rare in Luo Dao.

"Lord Wang, please be careful." Li Che quietly reminded Yang Guangdao, Yang Guang immediately realized that he had said too much, nodded apologetically to Li Che, and closed his mouth.

"General Li, General Duan and General Yu just said, I don't know which one you agree with?" Li Che turned to Li Hun and asked.

"In terms of the comparison of the casualties of the enemy and us, it seems that what General Duan said is more reasonable. However, the last general was not at the scene of the battle at that time, if it was to force the enemy back and successfully hold the town of Lingshi Fort, what General Yu said should also be reasonable, how to weigh the pros and cons, and hope that the general will make it clear. Li Hun was even more slippery, not only was he not guilty of both, but he also returned the difficult question of judging right and wrong to Li Che himself.

Yang Guangyin remembered that Li Hun had just buried his biological mother after he arrived in Bingzhou, and today it was Dai Xiao's return to the camp to attend the meeting.

"The offensive and defensive momentum cannot be reversed." Li Che opened his mouth to clearly show his opinion, glanced at the generals attending the meeting with a cold gaze, and said slowly, "Don't hide it from the ranking generals, since I took the first step and rushed to Merge Prefecture, I have been carefully studying this set of phalanx formations designed by Yang Chudao all the time, and the biggest experience is these words. ”

"What kind of mystery is contained in it, please also ask Quanta Gong to explain it in detail for us." Yang Guang saw that Li Che was very sure, and he was puzzled, so he took the lead in asking Li Che.

Li Che hugged his fists at Yang Guang and replied: "Lord Wang, rank, the Turkic iron cavalry is good at attacking, and Yang Chudao has tried his best to design a phalanx formation, which is aimed at the Turkic iron cavalry raid, and the core of its use of troops lies in a defensive word. Only by first succeeding in containing the devastating attack of the Turkic cavalry can we have a chance to fight them, and you have no objection to this. ”

"But once the Turks throw torches into the phalanx and break the phalanx with fire, how should they deal with it?" Yang Guang glanced at Yu Juluo and asked Li Che on his behalf.

"At that time, it was still necessary to hold on, as long as the formation did not disperse, it would be difficult for the Turks to take advantage of it." Li Che raised his eyes and saw that Yu Juluo's face was unconvinced, so he explained to him in detail, "General Yu, when you saw that the Turks used the means of fire attack, did you ever order the sergeants in the formation to extinguish the fire in the formation, but did you concentrate all the crossbowmen in the formation to focus on one point, compared to your method of breaking the formation without thinking about it and leading the army to rush and kill, do you think about it carefully, is my method more secure and more effective?" Once you have lost the cover of the chariot wall, and try to fight against the enemy's hoplite cavalry with a small number of heavy cavalry who are far outnumbered by yourself, isn't this abandoning your strengths and weaknesses? This is how the two armies engage in battle, that is, the general trend and overall situation of the two countries competing with each other should also be the same. My Great Sui is now at war in the north and south, and it is only appropriate to take a defensive position against the Turks in the north at present, and must not rashly launch an attack. ”
