Chapter 123: Attacking the Weak and Attacking the Weak

Hearing the news of Agu's transfer of troops, Zhao Ta immediately summoned the generals of the Kryu army to his big tent to discuss the next move, and held it outside for more than half a month.

"Boss, how are we going to fight?" Zhao Yong saw that the prince was happy, and knew that it was time to do it, and asked eagerly as soon as he got it together.

"Let's hit Bai Shui Shui first!" Zhao Ta said, pointing to the map.

"Boss, aren't we going to Wonju?" Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment and asked, seeing that the prince nodded, he was a little anxious, "Ah Guda personally led 60,000 troops to Yuanzhou, how can Zhao Xin and Zhuge Hong withstand it!" ”

"The enemy attacks and I save it, it is to people, it is a taboo for soldiers, and at this moment to reinforce Yuanzhou is looking for death!" Zhao Ta gave him a blank look and said.

"Then what are we going to Baishuiluo for, that's where the Aguda camp is located, it must be heavily defended, is it to encircle Wei to save Zhao?" Zhao Yong thought for a while and said.

"Avoid the real and attack the false!" The corners of Zhao Ta's mouth were raised, bringing out a little smile, but it was quickly extinguished, "Yuanzhou has been unable to attack for a long time, Wanyan Lou has suffered heavy casualties, Ah Gu has decided to send heavy troops to help, the camp must be empty, we will be able to fight with one blow!" ”

"Well, the old nest was copied, forcing Ah Guda to send troops back for reinforcements, the pressure on Yuanzhou is less, we can set up an ambush again, eliminate his reinforcements, and force him to return with the whole army!" Zhang Ting felt that the prince's method was good, and guessed his next move.

"No, there is only one day's journey from the camp to Yuanzhou, if we set up an ambush here in Baishuiluo, we can't fight quickly, and Aguda leads the army back to help, there are only two results. First. We can't eat the first line of reinforcements while enemy reinforcements arrive. We were forced to withdraw from the battle and look for new fighters; Second. If we do not withdraw from the battle and insist on completing the battle goal, it is possible that we will become entangled with the enemy's second reinforcements, unable to get out, and fight a war of attrition, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 ourselves, then we will lose the ability to continue fighting and have to withdraw from Texas! Zhao Yong shook his head and said.

"Well, insightful. So what do you think we do next? Zhao Ta nodded, saying that he agreed with Zhao Yong's opinion very much, and then let him continue.

"If it were me, as the boss said, concentrate the strength of the three brigades of the Kryu Army, seize the camp of the Jin Army with the momentum of a tiger fighting a rabbit, and fight a quick battle, without being greedy for merit or entanglement. Then withdraw from the battle before enemy reinforcements arrive. The whole army marched straight to the grass! Zhao Yong pointed to the map and said, raised his eyes to see that the prince was not listening carefully, and then said, "Caoluo is a place where the enemy can not afford to lose, and the enemy will definitely chase after him." By this time they were far away from the group, and we could annihilate them in due course, and that was just my initial idea. Is it to attack the grass first, or to hit the reinforcements first. Haven't thought about it yet! ”

"I think we should fight the grass first, and then the reinforcements!" Zhang Ting said.

"It's easy to say. When the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, if we divide the troops to engage in battle, it is difficult for both sides to form an advantage in troops, which is not conducive to a quick battle, and if the enemy sends reinforcements again, we will face the danger of being surrounded and annihilated! Third Brigade Commander Li Lei said.

"If only our artillery were there, it would be difficult for any stockade to block the bombardment of artillery, even if it was only two guns!" Zhang Ting said with a sigh.

"I thought that we could fight Caoluo first, as for the enemy's reinforcements, we can block it with a small force, concentrate most of our forces to take Caoluo, and if Caoluo is lost, the enemy reinforcements will have no goal and will inevitably withdraw!" Second Brigade Commander Zhang Pu said.

"I think it's feasible to send a small force to block the enemy's reinforcements, harass them along the way, slow down their march, and when we succeed in attacking Caoluo, return to annihilate them!" Li Lei, the commander of the third brigade, said that he was good at this job...

The prince's big tent was noisy like chickens and ducks in a meeting, and several senior generals of the Krüd Army were arguing for a while with a red face and thick neck, and then discussing the details of the action with the two brothers, but the prince laughed and said nothing, watching them make a fuss, listening to their quarrels, without the slightest intention of stopping, the ambiguous attitude was more like connivance... Zhao Ta is actually happy to see this way of discussing issues, everyone is not restrained, regardless of the official rank, anyone can put forward different opinions on the plan, and this kind of quarrel can allow each of them to look at a battle comprehensively.

Zhao Ta positioned himself in the position of a questioner and coordinator, he could not be a nanny for them forever, and these people in front of him would grow up to become independent generals in the future, they must learn to think independently, deal with all kinds of accidents in the war in a timely manner, and coordinate the relationship with friendly forces, without waiting for their own orders for everything, they should let go when they should let go, they are no longer children in Beifu!

"Who knows what our purpose is in launching this campaign?" Zhao Ta found that the issues discussed by everyone were too rigid and focused on the details of tactical actions, so he knocked on the table and asked.

"Save Wonju!"

"Bull State!"

"It's not right, the boss's target is Datong, Xijing City!"

"This is reliable!" Zhao Ta smiled and said, "Our goal in launching this campaign is to occupy Datong, control Xijing Road, and turn the six prefectures behind the mountains into our back garden in Hedong, and it may also be our refuge in the future!" ”

"Boss, this goal is too difficult to achieve, besides, who dares to touch you in the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Yong said in surprise.

"People are not good for a hundred days, flowers are not red for a hundred days, there are unpredictable storms in the sky, now is the troubled times of the wind and clouds, we have to leave a hand, once we can't gain a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty, we won't beg along the street with me!" Zhao said with a smile, he was not sure if he could change the direction of history, although he was trying to do it.

Once history repeats the changes of Jingkang, whether it is the crown prince or Zhao Kai on the throne, he will not tolerate himself, even if Zhao Gou, who runs to Jiangnan to claim the emperor, will regard himself as the biggest enemy. Because no matter who it is, he will not let a person who is more capable than himself and can leave his control at any time by his side, even if this person is his closest brother, he will inevitably find a way to get rid of him, rise and fall brightly, and confine him These are all good, and if he doesn't get it, it's a 'nonsense', he said this worry that has been hidden deep in his heart today, and it is also a preventive shot for them.

"Don't worry, boss, even if there is one day, we will never abandon you, and everyone will still be your little servant!" Zhao Yong said solemnly, and several other people also nodded solemnly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic from now on!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and said, "Zhao Yong is right, at the beginning, our goal was Datong, the capital of Xijing, but the situation is developing rapidly, and our goal must also be adjusted according to the situation." Yuanzhou was just an episode for us at the beginning, but now it has become the node of our entire campaign, which attracted the entire Jin army to the south, and disrupted the plan of the Aguda army under Datong City. Now that he has personally led the army to deal with Wonju, he has left his ass to us, and as long as we kick it hard, he may be kicked down! ”

"All the actions we take next must be adapted to our new strategic goals, whether it is attacking their camp or raiding his granary, it is to weaken his attack power, achieve the purpose of relieving the pressure on Wonju and preventing him from moving south, and create an opportunity for us to solve the Zonghan Department in the next step. As long as we have four brigades lacking heavy weapons, we have to divide one brigade to support Wonju, and now we can only mobilize three brigades and 15,000 troops, which cannot eat the entire Jin army going south, so we don't need to wait for the Jin army to move, as soon as he moves, he will inevitably reveal his weaknesses, and we must also move to find his weaknesses. Once discovered, we must quickly resolve the battle with absolute superiority, and limited to our forces, we must hit with one blow, and then quickly move on to the next target and annihilate the enemy in a rapid movement! ”

The prince's words made everyone excited and worried, this goal is too big, it is simply a bit beyond their imagination, they want to fight against the nearly 100,000 troops of Aguta in the south alone, although everyone has the experience of fighting against Chage in the western expedition, but after all, it is in the country, can mobilize the resources of the entire Hedong, and can be completed with the cooperation of friendly forces.

Now the only places that the Krüd army can really control are Dezhou and Shuozhou, Dezhou has just gotten rid of relying on domestic support, Shuozhou is still in the process of consolidating, and the friendly army is only more than 20,000 Xia troops living in Dongshengzhou and the Yuanzhou army that is under siege, and they can't rely on it at all. Although Yelu Yu had just incorporated a Khitan army of more than 10,000 people, no one dared to compliment their combat effectiveness, and it was okay to wave their flags and shout, and they were afraid that they would run to the Jurchens.

In order to achieve the annihilation of the enemy in the movement, an important condition is also needed, that is, complete intelligence support, so that when the enemy situation changes, they can obtain the corresponding intelligence at the same time to provide support for their next move, otherwise it is all interviews, and under the current conditions, it is very difficult to accurately and quickly transmit the information obtained to them...

"Now that Aguta personally leads the army to attack Yuanzhou, the battle will be very fierce, and as long as they can hold out for ten days under the current situation, the situation will change; Datong Xiao Cha there is also not optimistic, Geng Shouzhong's troops were defeated and surrendered, and the independent battle of Zonghan was also the end of the strong crossbow, and it was fighting hard under the city, and it was in urgent need of reinforcements. If we now copy Aguta's nest and burn his grain and grass, it will not only be the best way to weaken their combat effectiveness, but also give them the illusion that the back road will be cut off and they may fall into encirclement, forcing him to divide his troops, so this battle must be fought, and it must be very good! Zhao Ta showed his determination at this moment and chose a target.

"Boss, our Capture Army is fighting alone, but the loyal soldiers are watching jokes behind their backs..."Zhao Yong scratched his scalp and said with some embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
