[Chapter 137: The Battle of High Sentences!] (Ask for the first order) 】
Goguryeo's large-scale invasion was also a bloody investment, a small country with a population of only 600,000, for this invasion actually sent more than 100,000 troops, but it can really be regarded as pouring out.
According to the formation, the main force of the Goguryeo army should be divided into the left and right wings, and the middle lane is just a small team, less than 5,000 people, mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and some slaves and prisoners, they are only responsible for attracting the enemy and being covered as cannon fodder, and the left and right wings are the real core of the Goguryeo army.
The army on both wings was at least about 70,000 or 80,000, and the defender found that every time Goguryeo sent troops, it was pouring out, leaving less than 5,000 people in the camp, and most of the garrisons were young infantry.
There are a lot of cavalry in the two wings of the army, and this time Goguryeo can easily defeat the soldiers of the counties and counties, which has a great deal to do with his strong troops, according to the general of Nazhuozhou, the heavy cavalry in the Goguryeo army alone is tens of thousands, and the light cavalry is as many as 20,000 or 30,000.
"Ten thousand heavy riders, twenty or thirty thousand light riders."
Leping was slightly stunned in his heart, this Goguryeo really made a lot of money for this invasion, it was sad to break through the city all the way, the cavalry alone accounted for nearly half of all their soldiers, and it was no wonder that the soldiers in various places couldn't resist it, such a formation, a group of infantry, how could they resist; It's tricky.
"Marshal, do you have any plans?"
When the Zhuozhou guard came back to his senses, he asked Liu Qian.
Liu Qian was stunned for a moment, but he was a little at a loss, he had never experienced such a big war, and the most he did in Ping Yue was to train and strengthen the troops to prepare for future wars, but now that the real war had come, he suddenly seemed a little overwhelmed.
"Archer!"
Liu Qian thought about it and said suddenly. "The cavalry is strong, but it is also a strong soldier at close range, we have a lot of arrows, but we have covered and annihilated at a long distance!"
Although Liu Qian lacked combat experience, he was not an ordinary person, and after a little thought, he thought of suppressing the cavalry with archers.
"Marshal." But the Zhuozhou guard sighed and said casually.
"Bow shooting is a long distance, a natural enemy of close soldiers, although it is an excellent suppression of cavalry, but, we still have so many arrows, that is tens of thousands of cavalry, not to mention those cavalry horses are fast, it is not easy to shoot, they are as strong as si, the sharp arrows we shot before, are not able to penetrate their wallets, and even once added military quarters for them, they used our arrows to shoot back, shot us a lot of good hands!"
"This..."
Liu Qian was a little dumbfounded, Yu Wenshu walked up at this time, and glanced at Liu Qian with a smile, but the meaning of looking down was self-evident.
"Attack with fire."
"Fire attack?" The soldiers of the Zhuozhou Prefecture guarded for a while.
"General Yuwen, how do you use a fire attack method?"
The Zhuozhou guard said extremely respectfully to Yuwenshu.
Although Yu Wenshu is not the general of the Northern Expedition this time, his prestige has long been outside, and the Zhuozhou guard general has long known the prestige of the general of the Right Tunwei, how can he not be respectful.
"Look."
Yu Wenshu pointed to the dense forest in the distance in front of the city.
"Let his army lure him into the dense forest, set fire to it, and so that a large area of dense forest will all burn up, and Rao is god and man will not be able to escape."
Zhuozhou guard moved his gaze, looking at the dense forest, but his eyes were also glowing, that forest is only about a mile away from Zhuozhou City, you can see that the Goguryeo army is still due north at this time, if they attack Zhuozhou, they will inevitably have to meet this dense forest, but if they can introduce it into this dense forest, it will not really be able to completely annihilate them!
"General Yuwen is really extraordinary!"
The Zhuozhou guard sighed and discussed with him excitedly.
Leping stood aside, and from beginning to end, no one came to ask his opinion, and the Zhuozhou guard directly omitted him.
Leping didn't say anything, standing in front of the city tower, staring into the distance, as if thinking about something.
"Le'er... Governor, you? ”
Liu Qian approached, Le'er had already shouted, but suddenly changed his name, in the army, there are no relatives, friends say, some only have military positions.
Le Ping calmed down, and then in Liu Qian's puzzled eyes, he came to the Zhuozhou guard.
"General Zhao, have you ever observed the cavalry of Goguryeo in detail? How did the cavalry behave on horseback? But it's up to you. ”
Zhao Zhuo, the guard general of Zhuozhou, paused slightly, and glanced at Leping in confusion, he didn't care much about Leping, a young boy.
"Be cautious, not as proud as the Huns."
That Zhao Zhuo said slightly, and then turned his head to discuss with Yuwenshu, not paying attention to Leping's movements and expressions at all.
"Then General Zhao, you are well-informed, do you know, what breed is this group of war horses?"
Leping asked again.
That Zhao Zhuo was already a little impatient.
"The horses are broad, agile and athletic, and most of them are prairie horses."
"I see, hehe...."
Leping smiled slightly, it seemed that he had really guessed correctly.
Seeing Leping's smile, Liu Qian was stunned, he knew that his little nephew was not a mortal, with such an expression, could it be that he already had a plan?
Before Liu Qian could ask, Leping breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked forward, stopping the discussion between Zhao Zhuo and Yuwenshu.
"It's not okay to attack by fire, you can think of it, can't you think of it on the Goguryeo side? They must know how dangerous there are in the forest, and they will not go in, even if you wait to lure the enemy, they will not go in without permission, because their strength is cavalry, and when cavalry enters the forest, what are the advantages? Do you think Goguryeo was able to fight here by luck? Don't be too low about Goguryeo's strength. ”
"Huh?!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhuo and Yu Wenshu both frowned.
"What's more, the lure must be cavalry, fast, in order to take a step forward, but if we fail to lure the enemy, but are surrounded by the enemy, they do not enter, but return the way of others, surround the forest, and burn it with fire, can our cavalry survive? Our cavalry is already weak, if one or two are removed, what are the chances of winning this staff? ”
Leping's words were very true, and they also kept the two silent for a long time.
Yu Wenhua on the side suddenly became anxious.
"Xiao'er, you are presumptuous, my father and General Zhao discussed, what are you interfering with? My father is the general of the Right Guard, and there have been countless battlefields in his life, how could you, a stinky little cub, guess it? Just stay and watch! ”
Before the two of them could speak, the mouthy Yu Wenhua jumped out and shouted with a big mouth, but he still insulted Leping.
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, a slap was placed on his face.
He pushed three steps in a row, looking at Leping in shock, he couldn't have imagined that Leping would dare to beat him, and it was in front of his father, in front of all the soldiers!
Le Ping glanced at Yu Wenhua coldly, and didn't care about Yu Wenshu with an ugly face at all.
"Come on, take him down for me!"
Leping didn't say more, and as soon as he gave an order, the guards who followed him had already imprisoned Yu Wenhua, and Yu Wenhua was shocked, never thinking that Leping would dare to be so rebellious.
"You little, do you want to commit the next crime?"
"The following?"
Leping sneered.
"I am the governor of the Northern Expedition, the Holy Lord personally ordered to lead the troops to assist the commander, at an important juncture, you can act in person, no need to report, you are a small entourage, without any identity, you dare to insult the governor, disturb the morale of the army, and refuse to hinder the war, this crime cannot be avoided!"
It's a cold voice.
"Drag it down, rebuke it with a hundred rods, insult this governor, and cut off your tongue! If it disturbs the morale of the army again, it will be dealt with by military law! Nirvana! ”
Le Ping's words were powerful, and every word was like a heavy stone with the power of a thousand catties, which collapsed on Yu Wenhua's heart, and his face suddenly turned pale.
He had forgotten that this was no longer in Jiangdu County, here, he was just a small entourage, and in front of Leping, he was powerless and pale.
"Father, save me!"
Yu Wenhua was finally afraid.
Panicked towards his father Yuwen Shu for help, and it could be seen from Leping's eyes that he was not joking! It's going to really cut out his tongue!
Yu Wenshu's face was also extremely ugly, and he walked out and blocked Yu Wenhua in front of him.
"Governor, isn't it appropriate to dispose of your own generals before the enemy fights?"
"Inappropriate?"
Leping suddenly laughed, since the matter has come here, there is no need to show mercy anymore, he didn't want to make a bad deal with Yu Wenshu, knowing that he was a tiger general, but so he had to make a bad deal, if you want to blame his son, he is too stupid.
"Where's the general? Can there be a seal in the Holy Heavens? A little retinue, to be able to come to this platform to argue is that this governor has given you the face of the old general Yuwen, and now, he is so disrespectful that he dares to insult this governor, how do you let this governor forgive? Well? Vice-Governor Yuwen?! ”
"You..."
Yuwen finished his speech, pointed at Leping, and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Pull it down, cane blame!"
Leping said coldly, without a trace of face.
"Who dare?!"
Yu Wenshu was also angry, his eyebrows widened, and the momentum of the tiger general came out, and the soldiers on the side of the shock did not dare to move forward.
"Old General Yuwen, do you want to disobey?"
"If you don't disobey orders, you're just an overseer, so you have the right to decide whether the general lives or dies." Yu Wenshu looked at Leping coldly. "Let the commander decide."
Liu Qian was embarrassed for a while, left is not right, he didn't expect such an incident to happen suddenly, although he is from Leping's side, but Yuwenshu Huwei is there, as early as when he was young, Liu Qian has been worshipping Yuwenshu, and now that such a thing suddenly happens, he doesn't know what to do.
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and walked up.
"The two overseers are angry, at such a juncture, we still have to focus on foreign war, but General Yuwen, Ling Lang is disrespectful, in fact, he should be punished."
Hearing the front, Na Yuwen Shu frowned slightly, but then, when Liu Qian's words came out, he couldn't help frowning. "Could it be that Marshal Liu still wants to dispose of my son?!"
Liu Qian secretly complained bitterly, but in the face of Leping's eyes, he raised his head fearlessly, at this juncture, he wants to choose a good side, Leping is very kind to him, and he will definitely protect each other in life and death, as for Yuwenshu, the meaning of worship is only in the early years, and he is now just his subordinate.
"General Yuwen, Ling Lang's words are disrespectful, hurting the overseers, and there is no military law, if this is not dealt with, it will be difficult to calm the hearts of the army, and I hope that the old general Yuwen will have a big heart."
As he spoke, he ordered directly.
"Come on, drag Yu Wenhua and drag him down, and the rod will be fifty! Thought it was a warning! If you commit it again, you will be dealt with by military law! ”
Yu Wenhua's face turned pale in an instant, and he shouted for Yuwenshu to save him, Yuwenshu's face became more and more ugly, and he glanced at Liu Qian and Leping fiercely, and then walked away angrily.
Leaving Yu Wenhua and his panicked eyes, he could only watch himself being dragged down by the soldiers.
"This ......"
When Zhao Zhuo, the guard general of Zhuozhou, saw this scene, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and glanced at Leping tremblingly, his heart was slightly cold, he really despised this young child.
Fortunately, Fang Cai did not offend her, so he stepped forward and asked.
"Le Overseer, the old general Yuwen has left, but this tactic has not been discussed, you have just asked a lot of subordinates, but you have a good move?"
Le Ping glanced at Zhao Zhuo indifferently, he didn't have much interest in this kind of person who fell with the wind.
"I can't talk about high moves, but it is enough to control the enemy, listen to my orders, after three days, open the city gate and warmly welcome the arrival of the Goguryeo army."
