Chapter 36 Encirclement and Reinforcement
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" As soon as the hawker came from Chang'an early in the morning, he was arrested by Li Er's people in the big tent, and Li Er threw the battle report sent by Li Ji to the hawker to "see for himself"
The peddler picked up the battle report that fell at his feet and opened it, and gasped, the same thing happened as history, Li Jishuai had an army of 50,000 in front of him, and met Goguryeo Yoshi, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, who came to help in the war, near Anshi, and the two of them brought 150,000 people to defend Anshi to the death.

Seeing that there were 150,000 people, the hawkers couldn't help but feel a sudden shock, this time Li Er's expedition to Goguryeo is different from the official history, the Tang Dynasty did not send old-style troops, all of them were new troops, because the new army was not established for a long time, and it had to be stationed in various places, so Li Ji's former army was only 30,000 people.
Although the hawkers believed in the combat effectiveness of the new army, in the face of an army of 150,000, who knows if Goguryeo would become emboldened after comparing the strength of the two sides? After all, if you only look at the head, this is one out of five!
At that moment, Li Er anxiously immediately ordered to pull out the camp and strive to catch up with Li Ji as soon as possible, now is not the time to watch the excitement, in case Li Ji is defeated, Datang doesn't know when he will be able to organize a decent army to take revenge.
The hawkers are also anxious, if the new army is defeated, how many accusations will he have to face as the initiator, after all, this is an era of belief in the power of many people, and there are always people who are not used to these "crooked ways" by themselves.
When the hawker and Li Er were in charge of the Chinese army to catch up with Li Ji, Li Ji had already been surrounded by Goguryeo with the king. Eight. Like eggs, Li Er's Chinese army had to camp ten miles away, and even so, during the camp, they repelled several waves of small forces from Goguryeo who came to test them.
When these troops encountered several setbacks, they immediately changed their tactics and sent several thousand cavalry to roam between the Chinese army and Li Ji's battalion, with the idea of cutting off the connection between the two armies, and then eating Li Ji's "small group" of troops that braved the enemy in one bite.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the hawker and Li Er and some deputies were chatting together, and they couldn't break through anyway, so it was better to contain the enemy like this.
Li Er ordered people to set up a sand table in the tent, and according to the terrain surveyed and mapped by the air force, the surrounding area of Anshi was standardized, and now it was full of flags from both sides of the enemy.
Looking at the battlefield where the canine teeth were staggered, Li Er spat on the ground, "Damn, there are capable people in Goguryeo, this is obviously to surround and send reinforcements."
The peddler thought about Li Er's words, and it really meant that, but it was just that his reinforcements were a little strong, and the enemy changed his tactics, and now he began to eat the point that was surrounded.
But do you really think that point is easy to gnaw? Looking at the topographic map, the hawker smiled very sinisterly, "Brother Li, why don't we just plan and directly attract the enemy to the vicinity of Anshi, and we can serve it in one pot."
Li Er looked at the peddler, "How do you say this?" ”
The peddler took a stick and pointed at the posture of the two armies on the sand table, "Your Majesty, you see, Brother Mao is surrounded in this place, we are in the rear, and the front is Anshi, the enemy is now encircling Brother Mao but not fighting, I think their idea is to drag us until the weather is cold, and let God clean us up, but they miscalculated, because God is on our side"
Li Eryi didn't react for a while: "Why is God on our side?" ”
The peddler looked at Li Er and smiled silently, Li Eryi patted his head, ", forget about you, yes, with you, we don't need to transport grain and grass or anything, you just need to run a few times by yourself, I'm afraid of him a ghost."
The peddler nodded, "It's true, but what I'm worried about is that even if we are well prepared, we must take precautions, after all, if it really lasts for a long time, morale or something is the most difficult to guarantee, so we can't just wait, so let's contact Brother Mao, let's test the enemy's quality first, although the enemy claims to be 150,000, who knows how many of them can fight?" ”
Li Er nodded, "Well, what, did the telegram send?" ”
A soldier with a folder in his arms at the door of the tent came over and saluted, "Report to Your Majesty, I have been in contact with General Li, and he has asked us to attack together the morning after tomorrow."
The peddler rolled his eyes, "Ah, this is going to give Goguryeo a center to bloom."
Not to mention the Tang Army's side, Goguryeo's Chinese army tent, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen are also discussing this war, Gao Yanshou is playing with a lighter bought from the Tang people, and the flickering fire lights up Gao Yanshou's face, "Huizhen, do you think the Tang Army only sent 30,000 people to attack Anshi, will there be any fraud?" ”
Gao Huizhen knelt on the carpet with a solemn face, with a few battle reports in front of him, and when he heard Gao Yanshou ask about the war, he took his eyes off the war report and shook his head, "It shouldn't be a fraud"
"Then why did Li Ji of the Tang Dynasty dare to take 30,000 people deep into the encirclement of my 150,000 army?"
Gao Huizhen picked up a battle report, "That's because he has confidence in his army, Du Du [耨 nou sa read awkwardly, use our name, this thing is equivalent to Du Du] You see, this is a wire report that the spies got from Liaocheng, there is a powerful killing weapon in the Tang army, and the heaven and earth roared at the time of the attack, and it was by relying on this thing that they defeated the guards of Liaocheng in an hour, so that we didn't have time to rescue"
Gao Yanshou took the battle report and looked at it, "Well, if that's true, the Tang people's scheming is really deep, give the order to go down, the troops must not enter lightly without an order, since we have little chance of winning against the Tang people, then let's delay, I don't believe that the Tang army is on an expedition of thousands of miles, this logistics or something can always be so smooth, it looks like it's going to be September, and when it comes to late autumn, let's let the Tang people feel the bitter cold of Goguryeo's winter."
Gao Yanshou, who listened to it, pinned his hopes for defeating the Tang army on God, and Gao Huizhen also thought that it was possible to "supervise this plan is very good, the Tang people have a good saying, the army will travel thousands of miles, and the general will be folded, and we will sit and watch the Tang army break itself"
Gao Yanshou was very satisfied that Gao Hui could really listen to his opinion, "Hehe, since you also agreed, then let's draft a war report together and send it to Mo Lizhi and the king."
"Okay" Gao Huizhen said this, bowed his head and wrote a war report completely in the Tang Dynasty script, and then stamped his own seal, Gao Yanshou also knocked his own seal after reading it, and handed the war report to the interpreter, "Hurry up and send it to Pyongyang"
"Yes"
After the herald left, Gao Yanshou relaxed and clapped his hands outside the tent, "Come on, sing and dance" Gao Huizhen heard Gao Yanshou's instructions, sorted out the battle report or something, and asked people to serve wine and food, ready to enjoy it, it can be regarded as giving himself a reward before breaking the Tang Army.
On Li Er's side, after determining the time of the general attack, Li Er arranged for the hawkers to return to Fanyang to bring all kinds of military materials, abandoning the previous way of relying on civilian transportation, after all, the hawkers alone can withstand ten divisions, besides, no need to use in vain!
When everything was ready, Li Er was a little nervous, "You all go out, I want to be alone quietly" and then secretly asked the hawker to go to the prisoner of war camp to help him choose ten beauties to come over to ease the atmosphere, pointing to the ten handsome female slaves in front of him, Li Er looked at the hawker and "pick two by yourself" (to be continued. )
