"What is certain is that the Tibetan army in the vicinity of the city of Luo is more than 200,000. There are 100,000 troops in Pibo City, and Marshal Gao Xianzhi is facing an army of 80,000. The 90,000 cavalry encountered by Geshu and Li Dashuai on the North Road were also all the troops of the Tubo people in the north of the city. Before the Battle of Namtso Lake, the strength of the Tibetan State was around 300,000. But 30,000 soldiers and horses were killed by Ge Shu and Li Dashuai, and Liu Jun's ambush a few days ago also annihilated 10,000 people, so now their strength is around 250,000. And the total strength of my Tang Three-Way soldiers and horses is now only 90,000 people. Ninety thousand against two hundred and fifty thousand, that's the status quo. ”

Wang Yuan's words echoed in the tent, and everyone frowned, and their hearts were furious. In fact, everyone knows the comparison of troops, but everyone doesn't want to think about these on weekdays, because the pressure is too great. At this moment, Wang Yuan said calmly, and everyone's hearts were once again shrouded in dark clouds, and they felt that the future was bleak.

Wang Yuan looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Although the difference in strength is nearly three times, the reason why I say that my Tang soldiers and horses are not all without a chance of winning is because of the composition of the Tubo army. Don't look at them with such a large number of troops, but in fact, we all know that at least half of them are newly recruited soldiers. I admit that the Tibetan people are good at riding and shooting, and the folk customs are also fierce and brave. A man from the Tibetan State is a warrior when he gets on a war horse. But don't forget, there's a fundamental difference between an untrained recruit and a battle-hardened soldier. Soldiers and horses do not rely on great momentum to fight wars, but on comprehensive considerations related to military discipline, orders, formations, tactics, psychology, and so on. Experienced soldiers know what to do and when, while new recruits tend to lose their way on the battlefield and don't know how to advance or retreat. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, they were all generals who led the troops, and they had a deep understanding of this. Seeing more on the battlefield, a seasoned soldier can handle it with ease, even if he is short in stature and has little strength. It is not uncommon for powerful recruits to pee their pants in fear on the battlefield, and they don't know the southeast and northwest. On the battlefield, it's not about how tall you are, how strong you are, how strong your voice is. A qualified soldier needs to go through hard training on weekdays and baptism on the battlefield before he can be called an elite soldier.

"The reason why I gave the two commanders a glass of wine just now is because, although the two commanders were defeated on the shore of Namco Lake, they successfully tested the combat power of the Tubo people. Ninety thousand against thirty-five thousand, whoever fights can annihilate the opponent by paying thousands of casualties at most. And these 90,000 people actually let the two handsomes eat nearly 30,000 people alive, which is a joke. Because the generals are incompetent, the combat power of the soldiers is also worried, this is the current situation of the Tibetan soldiers and horses. Liu Jun surrounded and annihilated more than half of the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the valley, which illustrates this problem even more. Therefore, the 250,000 soldiers and horses in Tibet only seem to be powerful, counting the elite, or even less than half. And my three-way army, after months of fighting, who is not the elite of the elite of the remaining 90,000 soldiers and horses. That's why I dare say the odds are five-five. ”

"Throughout the ages, battles in which less wins more abound. Liu Junke still remembers, I once told you about the battle of Pengcheng when Chu and Han were fighting? Wang Yuan looked at Liu Jun and asked.

Liu Jun replied with a straight chest: "Of course I remember that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, defeated the 560,000 army of Liu Bang, the king of Han, with 30,000 elite cavalry, which can be called a great miracle. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "That's not a miracle, I have analyzed the reason, and an important reason is that these 30,000 soldiers and horses are the elite in Xiang Yu's hands." And Liu Bang's army of 560,000 was surrounded by soldiers and horses from all walks of life, including people who were temporarily recruited to join the army. One wolf can kill ten sheep, and that's the key to victory. ”

The generals nodded one after another, the dark clouds in their hearts seemed to be slowly drifting away, after Wang Yuan's analysis, it seemed that the 250,000 Tubo soldiers and horses were not so terrible.

Wang Yuan continued: "Marshal Gao Xianzhi also said in his letter that his more than 30,000 soldiers and horses were not afraid of the 80,000 Tubo soldiers and horses who fought against him. The soldiers are not expensive, this is what he said in his letter, except for the two marshals and several brothers of the Northern Route Army, who were present. Gao Xianzhi is also well versed in the truth. We have an army of 90,000, facing a rabble of 250,000, compared with Xiang Yu's situation of 30,000 against 560,000, we already have a great advantage. Of course, we can't compare with the overlord of Chu, but it is always possible to compare with his fur, and it is especially unknown who wins or loses. ”

"Listening to the words of the big handsome, teach me to wait for the haze in my heart to dissipate, and I have a sense of seeing the sun. Although we are not the soldiers and horses of the Chu Overlord, we are not necessarily inferior to the fur of the Chu Overlord. We are willing to create a battle that will shine in the annals of history with fewer victories under the command of Marshal Wang. Song Jiangong stood up and said loudly.

All the generals got up and hugged their fists and said: "The last general and others are willing to fight to the death under the command of the commander and not retreat, and break Tubo." ”

The generals in the tent swept away the lifeless dullness, and one by one became excited, and their emotions were also excited. Li Guangbi saw it in his eyes, and was secretly surprised in his heart. Wang Yuan has not tasted defeat since he led the army, breaking the Southern Zhao, defeating Tibet, and making great achievements. quickly rose to the ranks of the leading generals on the front line of Datang, obviously not in vain. Not to mention whether his analysis is correct or not, this analysis alone is the most important ability of an excellent general to motivate and encourage the soldiers. How to mobilize morale and motivate fighting spirit is the most important part of the leading commander in the army in addition to planning the war.

Wang Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "All the generals sit down and speak, I know your intentions, and I am as eager as you to break Tubo immediately and fight a shocking victory that will go down in history." But it's not time yet. It has been more than ten days since my Jiannan army arrived at Pibo City, but the 100,000 troops in Pibo City knew that our Jiannan Army only had 50,000, but they closed their doors and did not carry out an attack on our army. ”

Li Mi said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, it seems that the old decay must be trying to consume our grain and grass. Our supply lines are too long, and they're waiting for them. If we run out of food and grass and fight without a fight, then they will be able to win without a fight. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Old General Li is very analytical, and this is one of the reasons. Using our supplies to drag us down is a strategy that the Tibetans have set from the beginning. Otherwise, we would not have allowed the outer cities to be captured by us one after another, but we would have retreated hundreds of thousands of troops around the city of Raksha to resist the enemy. ”

Song Jiangong said: "Do you know that you may not be our opponent? The great general they led the army was the general of the Shenchuan capital, Ernagu, who was cunning and cunning, and Wang Zhongji was defeated in his hands. ”

Referring to the defeat of Wang Zhonghe, Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi were a little unable to sit still. That defeat was actually not Wang Zhongsi's responsibility at all, but Dong Yanguang's responsibility for the dog, but now it seems that outsiders think that Wang Zhongsi is incompetent.

But Wang Yuan's words comforted the two of them a lot.

"I must correct your statement, Wang Zhonghei was not defeated in the hands of Ernaragu, he was defeated in the hands of his own people." Wang Yuan said solemnly: "But it is undeniable that Enargu is an excellent coach. He must have seen that his army of 100,000 was in vain. That's why he kept huddled in the city and didn't come out. And if our Jiannan Army were to attack the city, it would not be possible. No matter how weak the soldiers and horses are, with the protection of a strong city, they will be as fierce as tigers and wolves, and it is impossible for me to attack the city. ”

"So, is that all it takes? That's not a problem. Ge Shuhan frowned.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Shu is handsome, this is not a matter of urgency. But I can tell you that if we don't attack them in a few days, they will attack us. ”

"Why is that?" Finally, someone stupidly asked this question, before Ge Shuhan asked. Li Guangbi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't Ge Shuhan who asked, otherwise Ge Shuhan's courage and short-sightedness would have been exposed.

"The reason is simple. Our Tang Army's army on the northern route has been ambushed and annihilated by them, so their 60,000 cavalry stationed in the north of the city will definitely be transferred to the southwest or east. I think that our Jiannan Army should be the big fat meat they want to swallow the most, so eight or nine out of ten of the 60,000 people will be transferred to Pibo City. When those 60,000 soldiers and horses arrived, it was time for Enagu to take the initiative to attack us. In terms of time, the battle of Namtso Lake was already five days ago. It should have taken seven or eight days for their soldiers and horses to reach Pibocheng. That is to say, in three or four days, there will be 160,000 Tibetan troops in the city. If you don't attack again, their Zampu won't spare him. Therefore, Geshu is handsome, the consumption can't be consumed, the big war is coming, and the wind and rain are coming. ”

Wang Yuan's faint words echoed in the big tent, but every word was like a hammer hammering everyone's hearts. The thought of facing an army of 160,000 in a few days made everyone's hearts beat faster, their pupils began to contract, and their bodies began to sweat.
