Chapter 391: Ambition
"Qin Feng's use of troops is strange and dangerous, but I have discovered one of his rules of using troops through his attacks one after another, that is, he has never fought head-on. www.biquge.info"Zhao Deyan fanned the feather fan, with a peerless and independent master's demeanor.
Ashina Xiantu and Zhan Er suddenly looked at each other, and they were stunned there, and the latter hurriedly said: "Sir, what can you explain?" ”
Zhao Deyan said: "General Zhan asked a good question. Everyone has their own style of using soldiers, Li Shimin has always been upright in his soldiers, dare to fight and dare to kill, based on Yangmou, and fight the world's heroes with sincerity, that is, those who are as strong as Wang Shichong Dou Jiande are not let him be captured in a fight. No matter how much he changes, he can't get out of this category. Similarly, Qin Feng's use of troops is dangerous, and he can't get out of this category, which also proves that Qin Feng is not good at fighting hard battles and large-scale wars. And what we Turks are best at is precisely fighting a tough battle in a head-to-head duel, and what we are not afraid of is fighting a tough battle. As long as we don't give Qin Feng a chance to sneak attack, then, we will win. ”
"Yes, yes! The last thing my Great Turkic warriors are afraid of is to fight a tough battle. Ashina Xiantu and Zhan Erhu said proudly.
Zhao Deyan continued: "Since ancient times, it has been a taboo for soldiers to divide troops and advance rashly. Datang was not suitable for the characteristics of the grassland, and conquered for thousands of miles, but did not adopt the combat method of concentrating superior forces and annihilating the enemy individually. Instead, they did the opposite, dividing their forces into three, weakening their own battles. As long as we can concentrate our absolutely superior forces, first surround and annihilate their army along the way, and then attack them on the remaining two roads, so as to fight more and fight less, and march on both sides, it is just a joke. ”
Ashina Xian suddenly, Zhan Er's eyes lit up, he felt very reasonable, he was impressed in his heart, he glanced at each other, and they all saw the meaning in each other's eyes, this Zhao Deyan is really not worthy of being the Great Khan's confidant, it's not simple, no wonder the Great Khan trusts so much, and reuses, it turns out that others are real materials.
Zhao Deyan squinted and secretly looked at the reaction of the two, and his heart was happy, flickering, this pure flickering.
Ashina Xiantu and Zhan Erhu don't know the deeds of the Tang Army, Zhao Deyan is not a Han Chinese, and has studied the style of the generals of the Tang Dynasty, how can he not know the details of the Tang Army?
It is true that "dividing troops and advancing rashly is a taboo for soldiers", but it depends on the time, place and the character of the commander......
The commanders of the Tang Army's three-way army were Li Jing, Li Ji, and Qin Feng.
If you gather the entire Turkic army and horses, you will only attack all the way. No matter who it is, even if he is good at field warfare, Li Shimin will find a position to occupy a geographical position and shrink up. Playing this tactic also means giving up the other two ways and playing as you please. The other two roads will also be the first to get the news, and they will inevitably drive straight in, stirring up the rear of the big rear, and finally surround it on three sides.
Because none of the three are simply defeated characters, and none of the same three are characters who can be left to their own devices.
If the Turks really adopted this tactic, it would inevitably lead to a tragic situation in which this side could not be defeated and the rear area would have completely fallen, and the Turks would not be far from extinction at that time.
Ashina Xiantu and Zhan Erhu did not know how to fight, but they only comprehended the knowledge of tactics based on experience in how they experienced a hundred battles. This level of knowledge at the strategic level is not something that can be easily learned.
Zhao Deyan has knowledge in this area. However, Ashina Xiantu and Zhan Erhu couldn't understand the mystery, they only felt that it was very reasonable, and they were more confident in their purpose here. Seeing that the two main generals had finally regained their self-confidence, Zhao Deyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, if even the main generals lost their confidence, the next battle would be very difficult to fight.
However, he is not all leisurely two, with sufficient troops, it is still very possible to defeat Qin Feng along the way. Of course, the premise is that the two must be at their disposal.
Ashina Xiantu no longer beat around the bush and said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm not afraid of your jokes." My two brothers know that Qin Feng is powerful, and they are afraid of him, and now we are the closest to Shuofang, even if they combine on foot and horse, it will only take four days, and this battle with him cannot be avoided, and I and Brother Zhan Erhu think that they are not his opponents. Mr. Zhao is here, and he also said this, and we also have some confidence in our hearts, but how to fight, we don't have a good idea, and now the only one who can deal with him is Mr. Zhao. Our brothers are willing to put Mr. first, let you command us, and the three of us will advance and retreat together, and deal with the Tang army led by Qin Feng together. What do you think, sir? ”
Zhao Deyan was overjoyed, winning the coach was also the result of his discussion with Jieli, and he was worried that the two would not be able to give up their authority, but now, everything is developing on the favorable side, and the result is so good, even Jieli's letter of acceptance does not need to be taken out, and the current result seems to be better than the mandatory appointment, but he still pretended to say: "This is not good, I am a weak scholar, and I have the least qualifications, so I should listen to you." ”
Zhan Er suddenly shouted: "Sir, don't be a mother-in-law, you are powerful, of course you will command." Do you have to wipe out the whole army? If I'm sure I'll win the Tang Army, I don't need to ask you. ”
Zhao Deyan said "reluctantly": "Then thank you for the trust and respect of the two generals, well, there is not much time left for us to discuss, brother, I am very kind to be the commander once, and I hope that the two generals will fully cooperate, let us defeat Qin Feng's henchman for the Great Khan and the Turks." Qin Feng is not to be underestimated, but it is really not impossible to deal with it. I have studied him, many people think that he can defeat the Turkic cavalry on all kinds of intrigues and tricks, and in essence, he also has a mysterious army called the Modao Battalion in his hands, Gu said that the Modao Battalion is aimed at the actual situation of the lack of cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, and it is Qin Feng's bloody work, as for the combat effectiveness is unknown, but since it is specially designed for cavalry, it must be not far behind. Since ancient times, infantry armies abound, but such armies have extremely high requirements for soldiers, so even if the lethality is high, it will not be too much, so we don't need to worry too much, after all, our troops are nearly twice as high as the Tang army. The most powerful army of the Tang Dynasty is still infantry, the formation of a cavalry requires a long time of training, and the soldiers who can ride and shoot on horseback must have many years of training to have combat effectiveness, so even if Qin Feng's entire army is cavalry, we should not be afraid of him, to say that the warrior who is best at riding and shooting is in my Turk, right? Therefore, as long as we break the so-called Modao battalion of restrained cavalry, the Tang army will not be able to redeem our Turkic cavalry, and a group of cavalry who have just learned to ride a horse will be vulnerable under the powerful iron cavalry of our Turks. ”
Ashina burst out of his chest, and laughed proudly, riding and shooting are the pride of their Turks. Hearing Zhao De's words belittled Tang Yang Turkic, the two of them were very happy in their hearts, and for a while, the fear of the Tang Army in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
Zhao Deyan defected to Jieli Khan for many years, and it was the first time he had the opportunity to lead the troops to fight alone, and he attached great importance to this battle, if he defeated the Tang Army, he might be a Confucian commander like Lu Zhi of the Three Kingdoms, he tried his best to remove the agitation in his heart, and said lightly: "The Tang Army seems to be powerful, but in fact it is like that." All they rely on is a crossbow and a sharp weapon, and if they are calculated for these two points, they will be vulnerable. Besides, our whole army is cavalry and has a natural advantage, and the Tang army is actually insignificant. He emptied the wine and food on the table, took out three wine glasses and arranged them into a triangle and said: "You see, as long as our three armies are in the shape of horns, with the strongest Ashina Xian as the first, I am on the left flank, and Zhan Erhu is on the right flank, and they are just supporting each other. Even if Qin Feng really sneaks up, we'll let him fight. Defend instead of attacking, do not take the initiative to attack. Prepare a lot of equipment such as wooden planks and shields to resist the crossbow arrows of the Tang army. Our defense is tantamount to restricting the Tang Army's strong crossbows and sharp weapons. Qin Feng only had 40,000 soldiers, and it was not an overnight matter to eat any of them. And I and another general took advantage of Qin Feng's attack on the other army, left and right to the rear of the Tang army, attacked the incoming army in three ways, trapped them in the situation, and then hit their grain road, the Tang army ran out of food, or learned that the grain road was threatened, in panic, it would definitely send troops to rescue, the infantry was slow, it was impossible to follow. It must be the cavalry who rush to the rescue, and we Turks are the first in terms of cavalry, and when the time comes, we only need to send 2,000 cavalry to swallow up the Tang army. ”
Zhao Deyan's words made Ashina Xiankong and Zhan Erhu fall silent.
They thought that Luo Yi's ability was stronger than him and could help them deal with Qin Feng, but they didn't blindly obey.
What they are best at is playing guerrilla offense, and they have never been exposed to playing defense, and they don't know if they can play it.
Especially Ashina Xiantu, his tribe will bear the brunt of the Tang army, and he really has no confidence against Qin Feng.
"If Qin Feng doesn't attack us and attacks you or my tribe in a roundabout way, then what?" He pointed to his own tribe's position, which was what he was most worried about.
Zhao Deyan smiled confidently: "So what? That's better, in the same way. If you're worried that you won't be able to hold on, our two tribes can each send troops to help. From now on, let's not divide it so thinly. From now on we are one. If Qin Feng attacks me, I will block it with 30,000 soldiers. The defense occupies a favorable location, 30,000 against 40,000, which is enough to hold out for a while. Each of your battalions was stationed in five parts, and the remaining soldiers and horses attacked the logistics routes of the Tang army, attacked their grain routes, made their logistics difficult, and lured the Tang army to fight. This tactic of mine gave full play to the advantages of the Turkic cavalry and reduced the advantages of the Tang army. ”
With that, he banged on the table. "I know you're not good at defense, but you can think about it. Is it the strong crossbow Mo sword formation that is fighting the Tang army head-on and impacting them has a better chance of winning, or is it the strong crossbow formation that defends and avoids them, and the defense has a better chance of winning? Offensive or defensive? The question then came back to the two of them.
