Chapter 13: Developing Tactics

In the end, after Tang Hua and Zhang Liao studied, they adopted the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements and jumping points, to first knock down the Yinguan City, and then quickly seize the Yanmen Pass, as for the other small counties, as long as the Yinguan City is lost, they will only run away, even if they don't run, they are not worried.

Encirclement and reinforcement means that Tang Hua's army first encircles a part of the enemy or a certain city, but not to attack the besieged enemy or city, the purpose is to attract enemies from other places to reinforce, so that Tang Hua's army can plan well, formulate corresponding tactics and destroy the enemy's reinforced troops; As for the jump point tactic, it means that Tang Hua's army should not be limited to the way of gradual advancement, but can bypass the enemy army or city in front, directly attack the enemy's rear army or depth, and destroy them in one fell swoop.

"Everyone's here!" Tang Hua said. After listening to Tang Hua's words, Li Jin continued: "Lord, have you thought of any way, so what exactly should you do?" Please tell us about it. Tang Hua looked around at the generals and said slowly: "We adopt the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements and jumping points" Li Jin asked in confusion: "Encirclement points to send reinforcements, jump point tactics?" I've never heard of the names of these new tactics before. ”

Tang Hua took a sip and said, "General Zhang and I thought that our army would simply jump away from Mayi City and go directly to attack Sangqian. Surround Sangqian City, but it is not a real fight, let's fake a fight to attract enemy troops near Sangqian to reinforce, but the main thing is to attract the enemy troops of the Yin Pavilion. Of course, it would be perfect if you could attract enemy troops from places like Mayi. At the same time, we can also hide the main force of our army in the vicinity of Sanggan, and as long as our scouts reconnoiter in a timely manner, we can create a situation in which we will fight more and fight less, and besides, we do not want to confront them head-on, so we will ambush them by all means and attack them by surprise, with the aim of destroying the enemy's living forces on the road. ”

After hearing this, Li Jin thought for a while and said: "Lord, I think the plan is feasible, our army has one person, two cavalry, and three cavalry, and can rush to the target place in a very short time to strike at the enemy, but the soldiers still have to fight a fatigue battle, and we must make it clear to the soldiers, we can only have a turnaround if we fight, otherwise the situation will become more and more unfavorable to our army." ”

Tang Hua nodded at Li Jin and said: "So we also want our scouts to continue to reconnoiter the situation of the Tuoba Department, once the situation is discovered, we must report it in time, and at the same time, our army will send additional sentries from tomorrow, especially to arrange a little more secret sentry, we must not let the Tuoba Department come to attack us, as long as we deploy more secret posts, then the reconnaissance eagles of the Tuoba Department have no way, and their reconnaissance eagles cannot reconnoiter at night, but our sentry can't avoid their reconnaissance eagles during the day." ”

Zhang Liao asked: "What the lord said is that the eagles flying in the sky will reconnoiter the enemy's situation. ”

Tang Hua said with a smile: "Yes, this kind of reconnaissance eagle will immediately roar once it finds that there are enemy troops or prospecting horses, only the people of the Tuoba Department will train this kind of reconnaissance eagle, if we eliminate the Tuoba Department in the future, we must find a way to capture the people who raise and train this kind of reconnaissance eagle, and see if we can convince him to raise and train this kind of reconnaissance eagle for our army." ”

Li Jin listened to what Tang Hua said, and said with a long sigh of relief: "I'll just say it's strange, in the past, we went to fight the cavalry of the Xianbei tribe, and every time we acted, the Xianbei people would know in advance, and they always thought that there was a traitor, but there was no such thing, so it turned out to be like this." ”

Tang Hua said: "Ergou, you are in charge of the scouts, you have to explain these situations clearly to your subordinates, and find a way to avoid their reconnaissance eagles when reconnoitring the enemy situation of the Tuoba Department, otherwise your every move and the Xianbei Tartars of the Tuoba Department will know, and they also know the geographical location where you are located, and it will threaten your life and safety." ”

After hearing this, Ergou replied: "Yes, the lord, we will be careful in the future." ”

Tang Hua smiled and said, "Don't be too careful for the time being, I estimate that if the Tuoba Department wants to attack our army, there should be a period of time, and they should choose around winter." Because, now they have just arrived in the northern steppes to graze their cattle, and when they come to the south for the winter, they will want to wipe out our army by the way. If they had led their troops over now, they would not have so much pasture for cattle, sheep, and horses in large quantities, and would have to rely on the vast grasslands in the north. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Liao said: "The lord is right, that is, there are not so many pastures in Yanmen, Yunzhong, Shuofang, Jiuyuanzhang and other places for Tartars to raise livestock. Every year, the Tartars migrate south before the onset of winter and northward after the beginning of spring. Therefore, whether it is the Xianbei tribe or the Huns, most of their plundering of our Han border is after the autumn of each year, and after the spring of each year, they are all gone, but the court is too weak in these years, and the local government is too incompetent, and has not recovered Yanmen, Yunzhong, Shuofang, Jiuyuanzhang, etc. So much so that the Tartars left a small number of soldiers, horses, and livestock in these places every year after they left, so as to solve and facilitate the wintering of their tribes, and also to facilitate them to further plunder the Central Plains of our Han Dynasty. This is the sorrow of my Han nation, if it goes on like this, it won't take a few years, the iron cavalry of the Xianbei tribe and the iron cavalry of the Huns will drink the Yellow River and set foot on Luoyang. ”

"But now I'm not afraid, I think that with the lord you are, the lord may not know how famous your reputation is now, everyone in the world knows that there is a fierce snake in the north of Bingzhou, specializing in eating horse thieves and killing Xianbei people. As for the lord's name? I don't think many people know about it, but as long as it is said to be a fierce snake in the north, it is a household name. I was also here for the heroic deeds of the lord, at first I just wanted to see what was going on, but as soon as I came, I was moved by the personality of the lord, according to my original plan to go to the state to join the army, but when I saw the lord recruiting soldiers, the conditions were still relatively harsh, I itched my hands for a while, so I came out and showed my hand, so I knew that it would alarm the lord of your big driver! When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Heizi said with a smile: "General Wenyuan, that makes you a red heart in the Ten Arrows Company as soon as you come up, plus your riding skills are good, this is not found in our army, of course I have to go to the Lord to announce the good news." ”

Zhang Liao smiled and said: "I followed the lord, I myself am not insulted, I think I am right, my choice is correct." Take 10,000 steps back, even if I go to Bingzhou to join the army, then I am a little recruit, who will reuse me like the lord, it is impossible to give full play to my ability, let alone lead troops to fight, if you want to lead troops to fight independently, I don't know what year and day it will take to lead troops to fight, maybe it will be impossible for a lifetime. ”

Tang Hua glanced at everyone, and then said: "Okay, all of you are ready, in a few days I will take you to fight a piece of our own territory, and then find a way to make the court recognize our political status, and then we will have a foundation." ”

Everyone said in unison: "It's the lord." ”

Tang Hua thought for a while and said: "By the way, in the future, we will have our own territory, as for the captured Xianbei people, whether it is the Huns, as long as they are strong, don't kill them anymore, stay and let them be our slaves, let them help us repair the city and mine for the rest of their lives, this kind of coolie who doesn't need to be paid is not in vain, anyway, the more the better." ”

Everyone laughed out loud after hearing this, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Zhang Chuang's kid said: "That is, let them be free coolies, if they are disobedient, it will not be too late for us to kill them, this is also a punishment and revenge for them." ”
