Chapter 10: Luo Yi's Strategy
If you ask Luo Yi who is the person he hates the most in his life?
There is no doubt about it!
But if you ask Luo Yi, who is the most feared person in his life?
Again, there is only one answer...... Rothson.
Luo Yi is certainly not as brilliant as in the romance, what is the king of Beiping who is powerful in the world, Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, etc., but he has the courage to attack, but it is also an indisputable fact. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people of Zhuo County were abundant, the granaries were full, and there were many treasures, which attracted the concerns of countless thieves and grassland aliens. In the entire Youzhou, only Luo Yi had the courage to fight, and he won many battles, killing countless enemies, so that his prestige became more and more prosperous, and finally took the opportunity to stand on his own, claiming to be the governor of Youzhou, ruling the two states of Youzhou and Ying, becoming a major separatist force in the Northeast and dominating one side. When he was in Youzhou, he also repelled the attacks of the Turks, Gao Kaidao, and Dou Jiande many times, and his ability was indeed extraordinary.
But the appearance of Luo Shixin made Luo Yi have a feeling of both Shengyu and He Shengliang.
Luo Yi has been through a hundred battles, has always been smooth, rarely defeated, and became a minister given the surname of the Tang Dynasty, which can be described as a bright future. Characters like him, who have been on the victory field all the year round, often have extremely poor psychological qualities, and they can't stand the blow of defeat, but they can't compare to the kind of people who are defeated and defeated in a hundred battles.
So much so that when he was fighting against Liu Heimin, he fell for Su Dingfang's trick and returned defeated. In order to save him, the general Xue Wanjun was imprisoned in a low camp and suffered the humiliation of shaving his hair.
Too smooth, the guide failed once, the mentality was unbalanced, and the horns of the bull were drilled. Because Luo Shixinsheng captured Liu Heimin and achieved his first battle exploits, he failed to get revenge and was jealous of him. Constant vilification, and various means to reciprocate. As a result, it was repeatedly self-defeating, and it was impossible to steal food. It's a fishy one.
Luo Yi was originally stubborn, rigid and unkind, and repeatedly suffered from himself, and even had a bitter hatred for Luo Shixin. So much so that in order to take revenge, he embarked on the point of no return, and was finally forced to flee to a foreign land.
Luo Yi is not bad in Turkic, but he is in a foreign land, and he is not as good as his own country after all.
He has been fighting with Luo Shixin for many years. Luo Yi didn't have a good please, even if he didn't have anyone in his eyes, for the fierce opponent who was about to kill. The hard-working enemy couldn't help but be stunned, and there was a chilling feeling.
As for the intention of sticky and sudden, Wumo's coming, the two of them have not yet explained. But I also understand something.
Luo Yi was afraid of Luo Shixin. Those who are not afraid dare not fight, hugging their heads and running away, calculating the gains and losses in their hearts.
After more than a year of civil strife, the strength of the Turkic tribes has been greatly weakened. Suddenly, Wu Mo was arranged by Jieli to protect the Shuobei grassland with Ashina Congli, and his strength was naturally good. The two tribes together originally had 90,000 soldiers to fight, but now the two tribes together are only more than 40,000, more than half of which has been lost. It can be seen how terrible the impact of the Turkic civil strife has been on them.
The two tribes of Slim and Umo had 40,000 soldiers, and he also had 15,000 soldiers and horses under his command. The number is not much, though. But they're all elite. Jieli took a fancy to his bravery and good fighting, and let him resist Luo Shixin of Shuofang. Specially transferred strong troops from the tribe to him to use.
The three tribes add up to a total of about 55,000, and Luo Shixin is only 30,000, and there are foot soldiers mixed in them, and they have an advantage in terms of strength.
Luo Yi thought of this, and said with emotion: "The two khans don't need to be polite, this is the enthusiasm and boldness of the Turkic people who came to the Turkic side, compared with the cunning and viciousness of the Central Plains, it is really the difference between heaven and earth, if I am a Turk, I will end up in such a situation!" Especially the hateful Luo Shixin, relying on a little white face, won the favor of other princesses. I don't have the ability, so I can't help it, but I borrow the power of a woman to deal with me, which is really hateful. ”
The Turkic people are extremely important to the glory of the nation, and they were born to be taught by the elders of the Central Plains the cunning and treacherous concepts of the Central Plains. Luo Yi's words are right for their appetite, and they agree with it one after another.
As for the grievances related to Luo Yi and Luo Shixin, the two of them are far away in Turkia and don't know the details. Luo Yi likes face, and he didn't say that he was repeatedly frustrated, but repeatedly emphasized that Luo Shixin's methods were despicable, using interpersonal relationships to exclude and suppress him, so that he was exiled to a foreign land. The two also thought that Luo Yi's ability would not be lost to Luo Shixin, at least Luo Shixin needed to rely on external forces to deal with Luo Yi, and they were secretly happy to get this news.
Sticky suddenly said: "What Brother Luo said is really right, if it weren't for the cunning of the Central Plains." As early as when the Central Plains belonged to Yang Sui, our Turks were already able to go south and turn the Central Plains into our pastures...... But what Brother Luo said is not entirely true. The people of the Central Plains also have heroes like Brother Luo. ”
Umer nodded yes, and then said: "Our brother respects heroes the most, but Narosin is despicable and cunning, and he is indeed a difficult opponent, and even the Khan King has to choose to avoid him. Now the Tang Dynasty marched in three ways, believing that a big war was inevitable. The Turkic situation, the brothers must also know a thing or two, they have been fighting for many years, the soldiers and horses are tired, and it is not easy to fight! ”
Luo Yi snorted and said: "You guys are wrong, didn't you realize that the Tang Dynasty committed a military taboo?" ”
Suddenly, Wu Mo glanced at each other, inexplicably.
Luo Yi continued: "Dividing troops, since ancient times, it has been a taboo for soldiers to divide troops and advance rashly. Datang was not suitable for the characteristics of the grassland, and conquered for thousands of miles, but did not adopt the combat method of concentrating superior forces and annihilating the enemy individually. Instead, they did the opposite, dividing their forces into three, weakening their own battles. As long as we can concentrate our absolutely superior forces, first surround and annihilate their army along the way, and then attack them on the remaining two roads, so as to fight more and fight less, and march on both sides, it is just a joke. ”
Suddenly, Wu Mo's eyes lit up, and he felt that it was very reasonable, and he was impressed in his heart, and he glanced at each other, and they all saw the meaning in each other's eyes, this Luo Yi is not simple, you can trust.
Luo Yi secretly looked at the reaction of the two, and his heart was happy, flickering, this pure flickering.
Suddenly, Wu Mo didn't know about the deeds of the Tang Army, Luo Yi had been in the Tang Army for many years, how could he not know the details of the Tang Army?
It is true that "dividing troops and advancing rashly is a taboo for soldiers", but it depends on the time, place and the character of the commander......
The commanders of the Tang Army's three-way army were Li Jing, Luo Shixin, and Li Shiji, all of whom were famous generals, with both wisdom and bravery, experienced in a hundred battles, and knew how to adapt to the times.
If you gather the entire Turkic army and horses, you will only attack all the way. No matter who it is, even Luo Shixin, who is good at field warfare, will find a position to occupy a geographical position and shrink up. Playing this tactic also means giving up the other two ways and playing as you please. The other two roads will also be the first to get the news, and they will inevitably drive straight in, stirring up the rear of the big rear, and finally surround it on three sides.
Because none of the three are simply defeated characters, and none of the same three are characters who can be left to their own devices.
If the Turks really adopted this tactic, it would inevitably lead to a tragic situation in which this side could not be defeated and the rear area would have completely fallen, and the Turks would not be far from extinction at that time.
It's not that Umer doesn't know how to fight, but they only understand tactical knowledge based on experience in how to be experienced in a hundred battles. This level of knowledge at the strategic level cannot be learned and comprehended lightly.
After Luo Yi is a general, he will have the knowledge to dabble in this area. However, Umer couldn't understand the mystery, but felt that it made sense, and was more confident in the purpose of their visit.
Sticky and suddenly no longer beat around the bush and said: "Brother Luo, I'm not afraid of your jokes." My two brothers, plus the king of Khan, have all suffered the loss of Narossin, and they know his greatness very well. Now we are closest to Luo Shixin, and the inevitable battle with him is that Umer and I consider ourselves no match for him. The only one who can deal with him is Brother Luo. Our brothers are willing to put our brothers first, let you command us, and our three clans will advance and retreat together, and deal with Luo Shixin together. Brother, what do you think? ”
Luo Yi pretended to be and said: "This is not good, I am the weakest and have the least qualifications, so I should listen to you." ”
Wu Mo shouted: "Brother, don't be mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you are powerful, of course you will command." If I'm really sure that I'll win against Luo Shixin, I don't need to ask you. ”
Luo Yimian said with embarrassment: "Then thank you to the two brothers, Luo Shixin is not to be underestimated, but it is really not impossible to deal with it." I have studied him, and what he can defeat the Turkic cavalry is only the Mo Dao Formation, as long as we break the Mo Dao Formation, Luo Shixin will not be able to redeem our Turkic cavalry, and will be vulnerable. ”
Sticky and Wu Mo both participated in the Battle of Da Pan Mountain, and they still remember Luo Shixin's Mo Dao Formation, and their faces were a little pale when they only heard the three words "Mo Dao Array".
Sticky suddenly asked, "But how can you break through the Mo Sword Formation?" ”
Luo Yi pursed his lips and said, "The Mo Sword Array seems to be powerful, but in fact it is like that. What the Mo Dao Array relies on is nothing more than a strong crossbow and a Mo Dao, as long as these two points are calculated, the Mo Dao Array is vulnerable. He emptied the food and wine on the table, took out three wine glasses and arranged them in a triangle and said, "You see, our tribe is in the shape of horns, with the strongest sticky first, I am on the left flank, and Brother Umo is on the right flank, and they are supporting each other. Luo Shixin wanted to fight, so we let him fight. Defend instead of attacking, do not take the initiative to attack. Prepare a lot of equipment such as wooden planks and shields to resist the crossbow arrows of the Tang army. The Mo knife soldiers are not good at attacking fortifications, and our defense is equivalent to limiting the Tang Army's strong crossbows and Mo knives. Luo Shixin only has 30,000 soldiers, and it is not an overnight thing to eat the sticky tribe. Brother Wumo and I took advantage of Luo Shixin's attack on the Sticky tribe to make a detour to the rear of the Tang Army and attack their grain routes. The Tang army ran out of food, or learned that the grain route was threatened, and would definitely send troops to rescue it. Mo Dao's march was slow, and it was impossible to follow. It must be the cavalry who comes to the rescue, and we Turks are the first in terms of cavalry. (To be continued......)
