In the military conference that night, this overly risky proposal was opposed by almost everyone. Wang Xuba and Dou Cong took almost all the cavalry of the Hedong and Boling families, and led the foot soldiers to fight the Hu people outside the Saiwai, which was almost the same as taking the initiative to send them to death in the eyes of everyone. If the battle is lost, it is not only the morale of the defenders who will be hit, but the entire Great Wall defense line may be in jeopardy.

"You can't leave. If you have an accident, who will organize the defense? Li Jiancheng stopped in an anxious tone that he had never said before. Thinking of the consequences if Li Xu couldn't come back, a chill ran down his spine. That means he will be responsible for it all on his own, and he will no longer have anything to rely on.

As a confidant, Zhao Ziming also did not approve of Li Xu leading his troops to jump to the outside line to fight. "The subordinates feel that the general's idea is too risky." Looking at Li Xu's first action target, he hesitated to dissuade: "The infantry set out, even if it is a small victory, it will be difficult to completely solve the enemy." If you are bitten by a wolf rider, you will not be able to get out! ”

"The general has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he really shouldn't risk his life!" Seeing that Lian Zhao Ziming did not support Li Xu's plan, other generals interjected. Whether it is from Hedong or Hebei, everyone has regarded Li Xu as the backbone of the entire defense line during this time. He alone has been defeated in a hundred battles; He was the only one who was familiar with the tactics of the Turks and the strengths of the Central Plains soldiers. With another person to coordinate the whole army, it is difficult to say whether everyone can be convinced, let alone win this vicious battle without any certainty.

In the chaotic discussion, only the generals of the Dou family army led by Wang Fubao remained silent. They don't know anything about the Turkic wolf ride, and therefore don't walk on thin ice like the others. Long-term mobile warfare has cultivated their habit of avoiding reality and making up for nothing, running away if they can't fight, and not fighting for the gains and losses of one city or one place, which is almost a natural concept in their eyes.

According to his own habits, Wang Fubao found that Li Jiancheng and others placed too much emphasis on the importance of maintaining the entire line of defense. The Great Wall is very long, and it must stretch for thousands of miles. During the day, Wang Fubao hurriedly took a look and had a general impression of this. With such a long line of defense, it is impossible for half of the Turks to pass through. Thinking about it along this line, taking the initiative is not necessarily a choice to seize the opportunity. Take advantage of the Turks' unpreparedness, pick their weak points and stab them fiercely, and then quickly run back...

"In the battle out of the fortress, our army not only lost its geographical advantage, but also did not have any advantage in the speed of travel!" Chen Yanshou's voice is like a north wind blowing through a withered branch, and it is very uncomfortable to listen to people's ears. This powerful and arrogant old man has been treating Dou Jiajun coldly since his arrival. This made Wang Fubao very angry, so he decided to pick a little bone from it, regardless of whether the other party made sense or not.

And the bones are almost clearly visible. After leaving the Great Wall, the terrain did not immediately change into a flat river. The mountains stretched a long way off, and the brigade could only go around from valley to valley. "This old general said a little, a little, that, that one to cover the whole!" It was the first time to speak in front of so many unfamiliar people, Wang Fubao was a little nervous. But seeing the astonishment on Chen Yanshou's face, the happiness immediately made him forget everything around him. "We are not familiar with the steppes, and the Turks are just as unfamiliar with the mountains near the Great Wall. Therefore, the geographical advantage is definitely still in our hands. Find a mountain nest that few people can't see to lie in ambush, wait for the enemy army to approach, and bite him in the cold. Then ran down the valley to the depths, and the Turkic cavalry chased after him if they had the courage, and starved him for ten days and half a month in the ravine, and everyone saved their knives! ”

His words drew a good-natured laugh. "If it's really like what General Wang said, it's good to dare to be affectionate!" Lei Yongji, a veteran who had just become a general, learned the other party's tone and played to his heart's content. "Let's pick a dead end to lure the Turks inside, it's best to not be able to get out of the deep mountains and old forests as soon as you enter!"

"And how do our people get out?" Some people questioned with a smile.

"Don't come out! One life for one life, it's worth it! Lei Yongji replied crisply. He was originally a reckless man who rolled with a knife, and he completely relied on the credit of being the first to ascend to the head of Chang'an City in exchange for his military position. So he is not afraid of life and death, and even has an almost obsessive enthusiasm for the tactics of exchanging lives for lives. But it was clear that his proposal had only the effect of adjusting the atmosphere, and it was soon pointed out that the idea was too wishy-handy.

"I'm afraid the Turks are not so stupid, they have to be led by your nose!"

"Go to an ambush, is it appropriate to bring fewer people? Fewer people may not be effective. If there are too many people, how can supplies be transported? ”

"This ......?" Wang Fubao was dumb when asked. Scratching his scalp, his face full of apologies.

"The Turks must have relied on shepherds who often traveled to and from the Cypriots, or horse thieves near the Great Wall! Therefore, they will only follow the path they are familiar with, and it is impossible to follow us to drill the ravine casually. Li Xu waved his hand and brought everyone's words back to the point in time. But there is some truth in General Wang's proposal. There are many paths on Yanshan, which are not suitable for cavalry walking at all. Let's take people to attack from the mountain road, and we will definitely get a surprise effect. And in case the war doesn't go well, a quick retreat to the mountains is also an emergency option. I've been out of the jam back then, and I know that. In fact, the merchants never took the roads that Wang Xuba and Dou Cong led the cavalry on, because they would travel hundreds of miles. ”

With the experience of walking out with two feet when he was a trader out of the Sai, Li Xu has a considerable grasp of his trip. Whether the Turkic wolves rode or the tribal warriors, those who were accustomed to riding horses were certainly not willing to push their buttocks over the mountains and mountains. For the Central Plains army, which is dominated by foot soldiers, there are several more roads to choose from. They can even choose a near-straight path to rush out between the Great Wall and Yanshan. A big surprise for Bone Toru in advance.

"There are so many gaps in the Great Wall that you can't hold all the gaps. And blindly defending on the basis of danger will only give the initiative to the intruder. Therefore, if we want to win this war, we must disrupt the deployment of the Turks. Thinking of this, Li Xu summed up loudly.

"If you attack from the small path, Zhong Jian, you won't be able to bring too many brothers!" Li Jiancheng listened to Xuzi's words confidently, and his tone loosened slightly.

"It doesn't take too many people. Otherwise, the baggage will not be supplied. I need fifteen thousand energetic veterans in the prime of life. Carry your own dry food and stick it straight to the south bank of the Liuhua River! Li Xu grabbed a brush and pointed to the map in front of him with the end of the handle. Since the Battle of Liaodong, the generals of the Li family in Hedong and Xuzi himself have developed the habit of attaching importance to the map. Therefore, most of the generals present here are no strangers to the practice of staging troops on the map. Soon, their eyes were attracted by the pen in Li Xu's hand to a black line not far from the Great Wall on the map, and then they all let out a soft sigh.

The Liuhua River is a seasonal river, and the spring water source mainly comes from the melting snow on Yanshan Mountain. Therefore, the river is very close to Yanshan, which is almost the natural dividing line between the grassland and the mountainous area. When the nomadic tribes from afar arrive here, they will definitely make a big break by the riverside. When their spirits were slackening, 15,000 Central Plains soldiers suddenly slaughtered from the slopes of the mountains where there were no major roads, which was tantamount to an avalanche for the unsuspecting tribal shepherds.

It's just that if you want to achieve the battle goal expected by Li Xu. The 15,000 brothers had to set out from Dingyuan Fort and climb the two high mountains of the Black Blind Ridge and the Sky Cliff on their feet. During this period, most of the mountain roads were trodden by wild beasts and time-saving merchants, and no army has ever been heard of passing through them since ancient times.

It is precisely because few people leave that the "guests" are even more unexpected! As if guessing everyone's inner thoughts, Li Xu smiled and continued to add.

"But in case ......" Li Jiancheng was still a little hesitant, wanting to say a few words to block it, but he was afraid that he would spoil Xu Zicaitou. He sighed and swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.

"What if General Li doesn't come back? It's better to let my old king fight this for a while! Wang Fubao couldn't get used to the timid appearance of the Hedong generals, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to ask for help.

"General Wang and his brothers have come from afar, and it is not advisable to overwork. It's better to rest for a few days and recover your strength! It is better to be familiar with the surrounding situation and then make arrangements! Li Jiancheng hurriedly spoke out to stop him. He didn't want Xu Zi to put himself in danger, and he was even more afraid that the Dou family's army would be wiped out as soon as they arrived. In his eyes, the appearance of Dou Jiajun only has symbolic meaning. It represents the official conclusion of the three alliances. As for the war, the regular soldiers and horses of Boling and Hedong are more reliable.

Then I will lead the brethren to the top. Make up for the lack of those who are on the expedition! Wang Xuba's heart didn't have so many twists and turns, and it made sense to hear what Li Jiancheng said, and he agreed angrily.

was stirred back and forth in the middle by his reckless Zhang Fei, and the generals of Hedong and Boling could no longer stop Li Xu's decision. If someone has to lead the troops to take the initiative to fight on the outside line, after all, it is Li Xu who leads the team to successfully come back with the greatest certainty. At least he had been out of the jam, and everyone else was blind to the situation outside the Great Wall.

"According to the information sent back by the two generals, Wang and Dou. There was a tribal cavalry of about 4,000 to 6,000 people, and in one day they could follow the main road to the foot of the Great Wall. There are also a few tribes that carry large quantities of grain and grass that walk a little slower, taking about three days to arrive. The cavalry that arrived first would not dare to attack alone, and would camp in the wide valley below the city. And the several large tribes that followed it must rest on the way. Seeing that everyone no longer objected to his plan, Li Xu continued to arrange the deployment of the entire battle. Therefore, this army and horses that I lead will be inserted between that cavalry and several subsequent tribes, and take advantage of the weakness. As long as the shepherds who are not strong in combat are defeated, the situation of the cavalry will be extremely embarrassing! ”

He tried not to mention the names of Aslan and the others, and he tried not to think about the other party's appearance. In fact, if the attack works, Aslan and the others will be in a very dangerous situation. As long as the cavalry of the Xia tribe did not retreat in time and defeated several large tribes, Li Xu could lead his subordinates back over the mountain and block the enemy directly at the foot of the Great Wall......

It was the cavalry that Xu Dayan single-handedly created for the Xia tribe back then, combining the advantages of the tacit understanding of the Central Plains army and the courage and tenacity of the Shepherds outside the Saiwai, and there was no team in the entire eastern grassland that could match it. At the same time, this cavalry is also the foreign support force closest to Ashina Bone Toru. Once they were besieged, whether it was to save his capital to compete for the throne with several other uncles and brothers, or to appease the followers of other peoples except the Turks, Ashina Gutoru had to abandon his original plan and come to the rescue.

In that case, the decisive battle between the enemy and the enemy will officially begin.

Alcoholic note: I've been busy planning a new book lately, so the update is a little slow. There is a return country for the annual meeting next week, and the update may be more unstable. The drunkard apologizes to everyone. But cheekily begging for personal favors, the first volume of the home will be available in November, please do your best to support it then, buying and promoting are effective ways to support. The idea of waiting for all the volumes to be purchased together is probably unrealistic, and the sales of the first volume will directly affect the confidence of booksellers in publishing. Thinking about the fate of the guide and Ming, the drunkards themselves are sad.
