Chapter 295: The two armies face each other
Qing'er threw the letter to Li Shandao: "Look at it, this is simply a bandit act, and they say it one by one in a high-sounding manner, and to put it bluntly, they want us to cede the land." When we are really made of clay, how do we want to pinch it? ”
Li Shan smiled: "Yes, now we have wolves in front and tigers in the back, and it is really tricky to suffer from the enemy on our backs." ”
Qing'er said: "You are still laughing, it was all your bad idea at the beginning, to attack Annan, although Annan is now in hand, but how can we have the energy to go to sea?" What should I do in this situation of a wolf and a tiger? ”
Although Qing'er is smart, she doesn't understand military affairs, and her current situation is indeed a dilemma.
Li Shandao: "Since they have issued a war letter, how can we not fight?" If we back down, they'll really think we're bullying. This time we're going to fight, and we're going to beat it, and we're going to beat it hard. Only when they know that it hurts and are afraid, will they stop. The next battle is related to the rise and fall of our Dali in the next five years. If this battle is successful, Dali will be stable, and if this battle is defeated, Dali will never have peace, and it is likely to fall apart. ”
Qing'er looked at Li Shandao and said, "Did you win this battle?" ”
Li Shan patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely win this battle, but after seeing the New Year, I'm afraid that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner can't be eaten with you." ”
Qing'er said: "What are you going to do, what do you want me to do?" ”
Li Shandao: "Without further ado, since both sides have already acted, then we also need to act quickly." With the reorganized troops of Annan, we now have 100,000 soldiers, and I will take 40,000 to deal with Lu Zhenla. Now the Tang Dynasty must want to reap the benefits, so it will not act rashly, but it can't be guarded against. Leaving 10,000 garrisons in Taihe City, the situation is still unstable, and you need to be careful of internal rebellion. 20,000 troops stationed at the border of Yaozhou, I trained 50,000 soldiers in Yaozhou before, although now most of them have been transferred away because of the prevention of Tibet, but these Yaozhou troops have good combat power, and they have firearms, so be careful. 20,000 garrisons in Thanh Hoa, Annam is the place they want to fight for, so they will definitely attack here, as long as we hold Thanh Hoa, we can contain the attack of the Tang army, I have no skills, this side will be handed over to Wu Tianzong. As for Lu Zhenla, there are basically no large cities to the south of Jiaozhou City, all of them are feudal towns, this is a hand-to-hand combat, although this time we do not have an advantage in troops, but we have firearms in hand, as long as this battle is won, it will be won. Although the situation is critical now, it is actually a decisive thing, if you win this battle, everything will be over, and if you lose, you will suffer from the enemy on your back, and you don't even know if Bi Guo will come to get a piece of the pie. ”
Qing'er grabbed Li Shan's hand and said, "Xianggong, I believe in you, you will definitely win this battle, you are our god of war." ”
On the border of Annam, Li Shan has been stationed here for ten days with 40,000 soldiers. There were no fortified cities, only villages, and Li Shan stationed his army on the hillside. Looking down, you can just see Ha Jing Town, which is an important border town in Annan, but now it is in the hands of Lu Zhenla.
Lu Zhenla made a quick move, and captured three towns in Annam within ten days, so that Li Shan's garrison had nowhere to stay, and now the place where Li Shan is stationed is only ten miles away from Hejing Town, and there is a river in the middle. This is also the only barrier between the two armies.
Li Shan explained the garrison plan to his generals, and went to the high place of the hillside alone, looking at the river Jingzhen by moonlight. Li Shan can now speak some Bai language, and he is also very familiar with the generals of Dali, and these people are suspicious of the Han people. However, they have also heard of Li Shan's name, they have heard of the battle of Liangzhou, and the battle of Annan is even more bloodless, which makes them convinced. And since Qing'er ruled Dali with the name of the national teacher and the lord of the country, Dali has been stable, and the people's hearts have gradually returned. In addition, there are strong enemies outside, and the officers and men in the army are also working together and dare not be distracted.
Yun Fei walked over and said, "What are you looking at?" ”
Li Shandao: "It's nothing, it's boring, just take a look." ”
Yun Fei pointed to He Jingzhen and said, "Have you figured out how to fight this battle?" ”
Li Shan shook his head and said, "Lu Zhenla's preparations are more adequate than we imagined, I thought that they must be short of food and grass in a hurry, but looking at their appearance, they don't seem to be in a hurry to march." Hejing Town is the only town here that can be defended, Lu Zhenla has the opportunity to occupy this city, and their number is twice as large as ours, it is too difficult to attack the city, so we can only wait and see who can't help but make a move first. ”
Yun Fei said: "Do you want us to have a decapitation operation?" Just like Jiaozhou City? ”
Li Shan shook his head and said, "No, all the defenders in Hejing Town are Zhenla, and we don't understand the language and look different." As long as you go in, it's easy to show your stuffing, although you are strong in martial arts, but in the face of such a city defense, you can only go and have no return. ”
Yun Fei said: "Then I'll go and see, can I scratch my tongue and ask about the situation." ”
Li Shan still shook his head and said: "The situation is basically clear, and the tongue that can be caught will not say more than now." ”
Yun Fei said a little irritably: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you just look at it?" I don't know how much grain and grass Lu Zhenla's army has, but we don't have much grain and grass, if it goes on like this, I will lose this battle without fighting. ”
Li Shandao: "The battle must be fought, but now should not be the time." ”
Yun Fei said: "Then when is the time?" ”
Li Shan shook his head, he didn't know that the so-called fighters sometimes came by waiting.
Yun Fei saw that Li Shan was silent, and lifted the stone beside him in annoyance and said, "Isn't it forcing yourself to die if you drag it down like this?" What can I do when I can't wait? ”
After speaking, Yun Fei turned around and went down the hillside, and Yun Fei and Li Shan have also changed a little after a long time. If he hadn't bothered about these things before, he had always done his own thing. But now that I live in the barracks, I unconsciously put the lives of the sergeants on my heart, and I am a little impetuous. These things must have been unnoticed by Yunfei himself, but in fact, everyone is the same, and caring about it is chaotic.
But Li Shan didn't care about this, and Yun Fei's words when he left seemed to wake him up.
Li Shan looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and there was no choice when he fell into a Jedi. But is there no other choice than death? There are clouds in the soldiers: fall into the place of death and then live, and put it in the place of death and survive. (To be continued.) )
