Chapter 770: Disadvantage
Li Fengyun was very calm in the face of doubts, and he didn't say anything, and directly asked the manager Mi Yong to be in front of him? The face of the general gave a detailed explanation of the specific situation of the Matsuyama Pass. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Matsuyama is located in the wilderness outside the Saiwai, from which the name of the oni comes from. After the Xianbei Tuoba clan settled in the Central Plains and established the Wei State (Northern Wei Dynasty), a large area of land on both sides of the Suotou River in its hometown was immediately incorporated into the territory of the Middle Earth, which is Anzhou, but Anzhou does not include ghosts, nor does it have Songshan. Both Onifang and Songshan were the habitats of the Xi people at that time. After the outbreak of the Great War of Unification of China and Earth, the first to perish was the Northern Qi of Shandong, and the border Anzhou immediately became the base of the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty to resist stubbornly. The Xi people were the first to enter Anzhou and occupy Anzhou by various means, while the Middle Turks, Turks and Khitans were all one step late, and in the end, the great powers did not give in to each other and could only accept the facts. After that, the Xi people did their best to run Anzhou, and built key passes in the four sides of the border, and the Songshan Pass was built during that period, about 20 years ago.
The main defense objects of the Songshan Pass are the Khitan, the Xia and other Donghu species on both sides of the weak Luoshui. All the Donghu species want to develop and grow, and they all want to go south to grab territory, Anzhou is of great significance to the Donghu species, unlike the Turks and the Middle Earth, the purpose of these two strong people to pay attention to Anzhou is mainly for political and military needs, Anzhou is a chess piece in their hands, and it is also an unimportant chess piece, plus the two strong people contain each other, so their threat to the Xi people is limited, far less than the threat of the Donghu species to the Xi people. Because of this, the Xi people's foreign strategy is very pragmatic, making friends from afar and attacking closely, bowing down to Middle Earth and the desert, and-for-tat against the Khitan and other Donghu species, and never being soft when it is time to make a move. Based on this strategy, Matsuyama Pass is of course as stable as a rock and impregnable.
In order to let the generals have an intuitive understanding of the Songshan Pass, Mi Yong drew a sketch of the Songshan Pass in front of the generals, and gave a brief explanation of the main buildings of the Pass and its surrounding topography.
"One husband should be closed, and ten thousand people should not be opened." Mi Yong shook his head and sighed bitterly, "The importance of Songshan Pass to the Xi people, just like the importance of Tiger Pass to Dongdu and Tongguan to Xijing, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and as far as the current situation is concerned, Ah Hui Zheng will soon withdraw, four or five days if it is fast, and five or six days if it is slow, so the reality in front of us is very cruel, if we fail to conquer Songshan Pass within three or four days, the next battle will be difficult to fight, Ah Hui is coming back and will fight back frantically, and fight back at all costs, so that we not only suffer huge losses, I'm afraid that the first battle of the ghost side is also more auspicious. ”
After Mi Yong finished speaking, the generals looked solemn and didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was very dull.
Li Fengyun looked at Li Zixiong and asked, "What does Gong Jianchang think?" ”
Li Zixiong weighed it for a long time and asked solemnly, "You really don't have the certainty of taking the Songshan Pass?" ”
Obviously, Li Zixiong hopes that Li Fengyun will have a "back hand", and expects Li Fengyun to create another miracle, after all, taking Songshan Pass to block the main force of the five armies of the Xi clan from Anzhou, and fighting to the death with Ah Hui under the ghost city, the price paid by the alliance is completely different. The former has a small price, and the alliance has enough strength to sweep Anzhou, on the contrary, even if the alliance wins the decisive battle, it will suffer heavy losses or even be dying, not to mention sweeping Anzhou at that time, it will be difficult to even survive, and in the end it can only cheapen others in vain. If it's cheaper, it's okay to talk about masturbation, and if it's cheaper for the Turks or Khitans, then it's really regretful, and you can't find a place to cry.
"I'm not sure." Li Fengyun said without thinking, "I only have three to four days to attack, this time is too short, the risk is too great, once I don't take it down, the consequences will be serious." ”
Li Zixiong didn't give up, and asked, "You are not sure to take Ghost Fang City?" ”
"Nope." Li Dao, "For the same reason. Although we have absolute superiority in troops, it takes time to storm the city, and it is impossible to achieve it in one fell swoop. ”
Li Zixiong suddenly became serious and continued to ask, "In this way, are you sure to defeat Ah Huizheng and win this life-and-death battle?" ”
"Nope." Li Fengyun said bluntly, "As far as I know, the main force of the five armies of the Xi nationality is at least more than 30,000 people, of which half are the Mabu army, and all the people are soldiers in wartime, and their strength is at least more than 50,000. In the first battle of the ghost side, the army that the Xi people put into the battlefield should be between 30,000 and 40,000, of which there are at least 20,000 or more. ”
"Our horse army has just been formed, it is okay to bluff, but it is not possible to fight a decisive battle of life and death, and the troops are divided into three ways, one is in the flat pine forest, and the other is with Jianchang Gong to the south of Gubeikou, although the main force) is left on the battlefield of the ghost side, but compared to the Xi clan to control the strings, this point is too few people and horses, and it is not enough to stuff people's teeth. Our infantry army has been intact since it came out of the fortress, but tomorrow Jianchang Gong will take the leopard cavalry and the feather cavalry army to the south, and Zhong Xin's first army is blocking the Turks in the flat pine forest at the moment, so there are only more than 26,000 soldiers left on the battlefield of the ghost side, plus more than 4,000 knights, this is all the men and horses who participated in the decisive battle of the ghost side. It can be seen from this that in this life-and-death decisive battle, not only do we not have any advantage in terms of troops, but because of the serious shortage of the Ma army, we are completely at a disadvantage. ”
Li Zixiong heard something famous. Since Li Fengyun has come up with a strategy to recover Anzhou, of course, all kinds of difficulties have been considered, especially before going north, Li Fengyun did not know that Xi Wang Ahui was leading the five armies of the Xi people to attack the Khitan, if the five armies of the Xi people are in Anzhou, it will be even more difficult to recover Anzhou, and now the main forces of the five armies of the Xi people are on the front line of the water of the Tuo Suchen, and the interior of Anzhou is empty, which can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime God-given opportunity for Li Fengyun, how can he miss it? Since he must take this God-given opportunity to the extreme, Li Fengyun must be prepared, it is absolutely impossible to go to the ghost city and be at a loss, and he has to take one step at a time, isn't it a joke?
Li Zixiong concluded that Li Fengyun had a strategy to win. He had known Li Fengyun for a while, and as he learned more, the more he felt that Li Fengyun was scheming and difficult to see. Mi Yong and Hu Luba's coalition army of flat pine forest horse thieves should be Li Fengyun's biggest "backhand" to recover Anzhou, but judging from the current situation, Li Fengyun's "backhand" obviously did not meet his requirements, and he was very disappointed in the two brothers Mi Yong and Hu Luba, and was full of vigilance against them. This can be seen from Li Fengyun's arrangement of Mi Yong and Hu Luba. Hu Luba stayed in the flat pine forest, and Mi Yong followed Li Zixiong south to Gubeikou with his tent control, these two generals who were most familiar with the ghost side and its surrounding areas, but they were far away from the ghost side and could not participate in the ghost side war, and if you think about it carefully, you can't help but speculate about Li Fengyun's true intentions with the greatest malice. Li Fengyun would not doubt his two brothers, but he definitely did not trust the horse thieves in the flat pine forest, so he found an excuse to let Mi Yong and Hu Luba take these horse thieves away from the ghost side, the purpose was to ensure the victory of the decisive battle and not let any possible unfavorable factors affect this life-and-death decisive battle.
"Since the disadvantage is so obvious, you still have to fight to the death?" Li Zixiong deliberately probed.
"Since the flag was raised in Mangdang Mountain, I have been on the line between life and death at all times, and I am in danger, how can I ever have an advantage?" Li Fengyun laughed, "For me, there is only one way in life, to break the cauldron and fight against the water, even if I am broken, I will not hesitate to break my bones, so I can defeat the strong with the weak, I can be invincible, and I can conquer everything." ”
Li Zixiong also smiled, "Since you have such determination, I won't persuade you." A certain will lead the army south tomorrow, and before leaving, a certain person has an entrustment. ”
Li Fengyun stretched out his hand and made a "please speak" gesture.
"If you and Ah Huizheng have a lose-lose fight, please be sure to persevere to the end." Li Zixiong teased, "Instead of cheapening the Turks or Khitans, it is better to cheapen the old man." ”
"As you wish." Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "If I lose both sides with Ah Huizheng, I will tell you as quickly as possible, and at that time, you must persuade Duan Da and ask him to secretly send troops to help you recover Anzhou, so as to save me from life and death." ”
Seeing that Li Zixiong no longer insisted on his own opinions, nor did he argue with reason, his mood suddenly improved, and he talked and laughed with Li Fengyun, and suddenly woke up. Everyone has followed Li Fengyun for so long and experienced many incredible miracles, and of course their confidence in Li Fengyun will not be shaken because of this difficulty in front of them.
At this time, Han Shige raised a question, if the Xuan Feng Army starts to move south tomorrow, wouldn't it just collide head-on with the reinforcements from Xi Wangfu who went north to support? Wouldn't such a selection of the vanguard take on the heavy responsibility of "sending reinforcements"? Will this affect the southward journey of the Xuanfeng Army and delay the arrival time at Gubeikou?
Han Shige has the intention to preserve his strength, especially now that the ghost side is obviously unfavorable to the alliance, Li Fengyun and Ah Huizheng are very likely to lose both, if the situation develops to that point, Zhuojun will stay behind Duan Da will definitely take a decisive move to seize Anzhou, of course, Duan Da will definitely not dare to send troops without the consent of the Holy Lord and the center, and can only use the hands of Li Zixiong to recover Anzhou. Once Anzhou is recovered, Han Shige will be able to make great contributions, and he will have the opportunity to return to the Eastern Capital, so Han Shige can't take care of much now, and he cares about his own interests, even if he puts shamelessness on his face, it doesn't matter.
"If the new righteous prince is willing to take on the heavy responsibility of helping, of course we are grateful." Li Fengyun teased.
The crowd burst into laughter. The grassroots generals without exception showed disdain, and they couldn't wait to spit on him on the spot.
Mi Yong took the initiative to stand up and explain that there are two roads between the ghost side and the Fang City where the Xi Wangfu is located, each of which goes hand in hand along both sides of the Suotou River, of which the west bank of the Suotou Water is the avenue, and the east bank is the trail. ”
In the early morning of September 18, the military meeting ended, and Li Fengyun led the generals to bid farewell to Li Zixiong and other generals who went south to select the generals of the front army.
"When and where will we see each other again?" Li Zixiong really couldn't think of any way for Li Fengyun to win, so he was unwilling, and made another temptation before leaving.
"At the end of the month, we'll see you in Fangcheng."
