Chapter 100: Strategizing

(Thank you for the residual fragrance of your fingertips and the reward of Xinjiang cabbage for the two children's shoes, thank you!) )

For these officers of the broken barracks who are accustomed to fighting in large armies and only following the army every time, they don't need to do things like planning and analysis before every battle, and it is not their turn to do them. They only need to train their soldiers and horses, and when they get to wartime, they will receive military orders, and they will fight wherever they are pointed.

In the blink of an eye, only their group of officers who were only a lieutenant half a year ago were left in this Liaodong City. In front of them, they not only had to reconnoiter and analyze intelligence, but also had to think of their own strategies, and for a while, everyone was a little unprepared.

Chen Kefu also knew that they would face a great crisis at the moment, but the entire Sui army in Liaodong respected him. If he also shows panic and lack confidence, then it is estimated that there will be no need to start fighting, and the morale of the entire Liaodong Sui army will also drop to the freezing point. Taking advantage of the current victory in capturing Liaodong City, Chen Kefu also has the intention to maintain this joy and sharpness.

During the conversation, Chen Kefu tried his best to be very relaxed, full of confidence. It was completely the appearance of Zhizhu in his hands, which made most of the officers feel a lot more relaxed, especially for those generals in the new army, seeing that the commander was so breezy and calm, they didn't think deeply about their current situation at all.

Chen Kefu smiled mysteriously, "Everyone, have you forgotten the gift we received from General Li Benlei during the day?" ”

The generals in the tent all looked at Chen Kefu with some doubts, didn't General Li Benlei of Xincheng send a few prisoners over during the day? I didn't see any gifts.

Hu Hai hurriedly asked, "General, I don't remember what you told us about the gift during the day, did you forget it during the day, did General Li find something good in the new city?" ”

"The gift I'm talking about is those captives, although there are officials in my Sui army who defected to Liaodong, but I don't know why, those Liao people don't seem to know that Xincheng has fallen into the hands of my Great Sui. He even sent a messenger with a warrant token to give an order to Gao Qi in the new city, ladies and gentlemen, don't you think this is a great gift? ”

Although Chen Kefu still hasn't figured out why the Goguryeo people don't know that the new city has been lost. But he had already sensed an opportunity, and after thinking about it for a long time, he was moved by the words of the butcher captain just now. Chen Kefu suddenly had a rough plan in his heart.

For Chen Kefu and his Sui troops who stayed in Liaodong, the defenders of Liaodong and Xincheng have all been wiped out, and even the 80,000 troops of Yizhi to the north have been exhausted. It can be said that now that Yang Guangjun has returned to the dynasty, the enemy they are directly facing is the power they ignored in the past.

When the Sui army of hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Liaodong City, those Goguryeo people who did not dare to try its edge came directly to clear the wilderness with a strong wall and could not defend it. And the Sui army did not go to the hundreds of mountain cities to attack the cities one by one. Instead, he directly identified the target and focused on one place.

When the five cities of Xincheng and Liaodong fell one after another, and the defenders were all gone, those mountain cities that were not the largest in Liaodong and those mountain cities that were not large in strength were now not lost at all.

Now that the Sui army had retreated, Chen Kefu and the Goguryeo people's offensive and defensive positions had suddenly changed. For Chen Kefu, now he doesn't dare to fight a tough and wild battle with the Liao. But the Liao people are willing to fight with the Sui army in the field, as long as Gao Jianwu's order is transmitted to Zhucheng, then in a short period of time, those large thousands of soldiers and horses scattered in the mountain cities, and the small hundreds of dozens of soldiers and horses will be re-gathered, although it seems that there are not many soldiers and horses in each place, but if the north of Yalu Water, or even as long as the soldiers and horses of the mountain cities near Liaodong City are gathered, it will also be very considerable.

According to his approximate budget, as long as the Liao people were given half a month's time, then they would be able to gather more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong. Although these soldiers and horses are no longer the elite troops of the Goguryeo people, there will even be only a small number of cavalry troops, and most of them will be the private soldiers of the nobles. But the figure of 50,000 still made Chen Kefu a little uneasy. With the current combat strength of the broken military camp, if the Liao people are facing one to two, the odds of winning can reach more than seventy percent, but if it is one to three, then there is only four or five percent of the chance, and if it is one to four, then there is only one to two percent of the chance of winning at most. And for 50,000 people, it is basically estimated that the whole army will be wiped out. ,

Even if he has a strong city in Liaodong, but there are no skilled soldiers, it is all for nothing, and when he fights, he can please him if he doesn't see it.

And if he can't disintegrate the military strength of the Goguryeo people in Liaodong in a short period of time, then if the confrontation continues, he will definitely suffer. From now until May next year, there is still a long time of nearly ten months, and with such a long time, the Liao people can already re-recruit soldiers into the army and train a considerable army.

And now, Chen Kefu has seen the flaws in the big net of the Liao people.

"General, what do you mean? Is it the idea of trying to beat the captives? ”

"That's right, we did a very successful night attack today, suddenly and quickly. And except for Gao Jianwu, who ran away alone, we completely annihilated the defenders of Liaodong City. Moreover, before the war, I had already sent hundreds of cavalry to disperse dozens of miles of patrol in Liaodong City. Therefore, tonight's events are estimated to take a long time, and only the Goguryeo in the cities of Liaodong will know the true information about the matter here. ”

Hu Hai said excitedly, "General, do you want to come back to the same trick you used to fight Xincheng last time?" Use Gao Jianwu's military order to seal the letter to deceive the city? ”

"What General Hu said is not entirely wrong, but there are too many mountain cities near us, and it is too troublesome to use the trick of defrauding the city, even if it is effective. So the best thing to do is for us to make a plan and solve it all at once! ”

All the big and rough officers were all interested, no one had the heart to drink tea anymore, they all leaned forward and looked at Chen Kefu, wondering what kind of pass this general was selling. I thought to myself, if he wasn't a general, he probably would have pulled him up by the collar and asked him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we now have Gao Jianwu's military order, a token of his communication with various cities, and even a lot of Goguryeo soldiers who have surrendered to us. What do you think we can do to get the most out of it? ”

Although the generals in the hall are all big and rough, especially the generals of the new army, they are even more entry-level rough men. But those battlefield veterans who broke the barracks, although it cost them their lives to let them give advice, they also have a lot of battlefield experience. At this time, under the deliberate guidance of Chen Kefu, he used his brain one by one, and he was almost able to guess some of them.

Li Jie smiled slightly, "Does the general want to divert the tiger from the mountain, lure the snake out, and then introduce an ambush circle to surround and annihilate it?" ”

Nodding, Chen Kefu said, "General Li Jie is right, I do have this idea. Now we have Gao Jianwu's military order letter and soldier token, and the army is taking advantage of the rainy night to quietly withdraw the army, and our attack on Liaodong City is also very sudden, and we have not let go of the fish that slipped through the net. We only need to send a few teams of men and horses to escort a group of Goguryeo troops, take Gao Jianwu's talisman token, and then find someone who is good at writing and change the military order in imitation of Gao Jianwu's handwriting. ”

"General, what did you change Gao Jianwu's military order to?"

"Very simply, as General Li Jie said, we said in the letter that our Sui Dynasty army should withdraw its troops, let them gather all the soldiers and horses in their respective cities, and then let them bring the soldiers and horses to the place we have designated. Like a valley we've already laid an ambush into? At that time, I believe that in an ambush war, we will be unprepared, and then we will fight a surprise ambush, you can't say that we can't do it, right?"

"For this step, we can even make an appetite a little bigger. The soldiers and horses of the mountain city north of Liaodong City, we can lure them out of the city and ambush them, and we can also do a vote in the mountain city in the south, and now the Liaodong City has been broken The Liao people do not know, we can take this opportunity to say that the Sui army has withdrawn, and we Liaodong City has gathered the soldiers and horses of the mountain cities in the north to pursue the Sui army. Soldiers and horses from various mountain cities south of Liaodong City were specially dispatched to Liaodong City to strengthen the defense, just in case. At that time, as long as the Liao people are tricked into the city, it will not be closed and beaten dogs? This is the second policy! ”

"General, is there a third strategy?"

"Of course, as long as the previous strategy is successful, then we can move on to the third strategy. We have also discussed before that even if Gao Jianwu is a bull, he wants to bring the soldiers back to fight back. So if he wants to transfer troops from Pyongyang, Seoul, Nami, Ugu and other cities, it is estimated that it will take at least a long time to prepare. And if he seeks stability, recruits a certain number of new soldiers, and then attacks north, it will take at least a few months. And with so much time, we can totally do our thing. As long as our previous strategy is successful, then we can sweep away the soldiers and horses in the nearby mountain towns, and then we can immediately take advantage of the situation to lead our troops to attack and use the strategy of deceitful cities to take over those mountain cities that have no soldiers and horses. Even if the city fails, those mountain cities without defenders will not let us fight at that time? ”

The generals who broke the barracks are better, after all, they have seen all kinds of big scenes, although Chen Kefu's strategy sounds good, but it is not earth-shattering and crying. But the officers of the 5th and 6th Divisions were completely different. They listened to Chen Kefu sitting there, holding a teacup, talking and laughing, and he had already shown that he could destroy dozens of cities in Liaodong, which made the shocked mouths of the newly debuted grass chicken captains unable to close their mouths.
