"When I first came to Longxi, I was shocked by the green mountains and green water prairies here, three years have passed, the grasslands have fattened cattle and sheep, green water has irrigated fertile fields, and green mountains have enriched the people, all of which have not come easily."

Li Huai once again exerted his third-rate oratorical talents, without any skills, only sincerity.

"Not long ago, Shangguan told me that Liangzhou is destined to grow up in the wind and rain, like a flat boat in the ocean."

"Yes!"

"How many hardships the people of Liangzhou have endured, how many hardships they have suffered, the sky has never been clear, the wind has never stopped, we have all experienced it."

"In such a difficult and desperate situation, why can Liangzhou grow?"

"Because Liangzhou has never surrendered, fighting with the sky, fighting with nature, fighting with all the evil that hinders the happiness of the people of Liangzhou, and fighting with people."

Speaking of which.

Li Huai's eyes looked around everyone again, all of them were impassioned, and it was not a waste of words.

He also no longer exerts his feelings.

"The strength of this battle is 80,000 to 150,000, no matter how you say it, the advantage is not mine, and it is unwise to resist head-on, and the casualties are too great. If we blindly retreat, we will not be ashamed to see our hometown fathers. ”

"I decide: open the door to fight, there will be no defense on the edge of the Yellow River, let him cross the Yellow River, as long as he dares to cross the Yellow River, he will be on the east bank of the Yellow River, and destroy him!"

"I made the following arrangements: I personally led an army to engage in battle, retreated while fighting, and led the enemy to the great plain west of Longxi City."

"At that time, two artillery battalions of the Shenwei Army, one artillery battalion of the Dingxi Army, and more than 1,000 cannons, press in front of the position to bombard me, don't save, don't be afraid of the artillery being destroyed, you must remember that the artillery is in the people, the artillery cannot die, and the artillery is more valuable than the artillery."

"If the enemy wants to retreat, the whole army of Dingxi will follow me, bite them to death at all costs, and buy time for the blood wolf hussar battalion."

"Everything we can do is done, the key is to see Tie Mu, at that time, you have to penetrate the east bank of the Yellow River as quickly as possible, and cut off the enemy."

"As for the west bank of the Yellow River, there is a fight on our side, and Qi Yuanbai will lead the whole army of the Zhenguo Army and go straight to Chunyu Yue's nest, so that he will not care."

"This style of play is called: Pocket Array!"

According to Li Huai's account, the adjutant team took notes, readjusted the sand table, and drew a schematic diagram of attack and defense on the giant map.

Everyone looked down at the sand table for a while, and then looked up at the map.

This style of play is definitely no problem.

However.

Whether he can attract Chun Yuyue is a point, and if he can't attract it, it's okay, as long as he doesn't pass the Yellow River, it will be impossible for the Liang army to find him to fight.

The second key point is that only half of the Dingxi Army came, plus the militia regiment brought by the old patriarch and Mu Yin, as well as the personal guards of King Liang, the White Horse Righteous Army, and only more than 30,000 cavalry infantry, plus two artillery battalions of the Shenwei Army, and one artillery battalion of the Dingxi Army.

As soon as the Gaochang royal army moved, it must be a nest dispatch, and it is expected to leave 40,000 to 60,000 people to watch Qi Yuanbai and stabilize the logistics supply line, and leave another 10,000 people on the east bank of the Yellow River to guard the ferry.

The total number of attacking troops was also about 80,000.

More than 30,000 cavalry infantry, plus three artillery battalions, went to surround 80,000 people, even if Tie Mu's bloody wolf hussar battalion arrived on time on the east bank of the Yellow River and cut off the enemy's retreat, it would be 40,000 against 80,000.

It's a bit of a stretch.

There is an even worse possibility.

"If King Gaochang fights against the water, regardless of Qi Yuanbai in the west of the river, the whole army crosses the Yellow River and fortifies on the east bank, then we will be cut into two parts." The old patriarch said worriedly.

This style of play is extremely aggressive, if one is not good, it will run out of ammunition, Qi Yuanbai is guarding the west bank, and it is difficult for him to go back.

The odds are slim.

But it's not completely impossible, if Chun Yuyue is not in a hurry to go back, he blindly pushes forward.

They are extremely difficult to resist.

"We still have Longxi City, with the solidity of Longxi City, as long as we don't go out of the city to fight, we can still defend it." Mu Yin said thoughtfully.

The rest also began to join the Senate.

"If the king of Gaochang does not attack the city, he can wantonly destroy our pastures, burn our green mountains, and destroy our fertile fields."

"How did he get out? The dry food they can bring can only last for five to seven days at most, if the grain and grass are exhausted, they have not been able to break through, and we don't need to fight, and the Gaochang royal department will starve to death first. ”

"If King Gaochang bypasses Longxi and attacks Beidi County, then we will have to chase after him, and then he can cross the Yellow River in Beidi County."

"According to what you said, King Gaochang detoured in such a big circle, either the grain and grass were exhausted, or the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and when he crossed the river, we caught up with him, and the Gaochang King was bound to be in chaos, Qi Yuanbai detoured from the west bank again, blocking in front of him, how could he run?"

"What about King Gaochang killing a horse gun halfway? We who pursued them soon became fish on the sticky board, and if he did not pursue, he could cross the Yellow River with peace of mind. ”

"Don't chase too closely, just control the distance, it will always take time for him to cross the Yellow River, we can catch up with him."

“……”

Sure enough, there was a fierce quarrel, this kind of inferior battle, there can be no best plan, or it would be strange if there was no quarrel.

Li Huai saw that none of them could convince anyone, so they all had their own opinions and discussed countless variables.

He couldn't help but raise his hand and press it down.

Silence fell for a moment.

"I want to add here that if this battle is not fought, if it is not fought, it is not only to defend Longxi County, but to eliminate the threat of the Gaochang royal department forever!"

Li Huai said in a deep voice.

If it's just to hold on, then what kind of pocket array will be placed, and the army and artillery will be sent to the east bank of the Yellow River.

In terms of the number and power of artillery alone, the ten Gaochang kings could not compare to Liangzhou, and he did not dare to settle on the west bank because it was enough to bombard.

Not to mention crossing the river.

Everyone looked at him in great amazement, thinking in their hearts that King Liang's appetite was inevitably too great.

"You should also know that I plan to negotiate with the Temple of Light, if this battle is not won, will people agree to talk to us?"

"If you don't talk about it, you still have to fight."

"We have a better chance of winning if we take the initiative? Or will you attract the Gaochang royal department and divide and destroy it, and have a good chance of winning? ”

Naturally, it is the latter, and the odds of winning are better.

In fact, Li Huai just wanted to tell them that this battle was not simply a confrontation between the army, but also a political game related to the fate of Liangzhou.

The armed forces are originally to serve the state power, and they are divorced from the interests of the national strategic level, and no matter how they fight, they will suffer.

Everyone thought to themselves for a while, if it was to eliminate the Gaochang royal department, or to cripple him.

Then, only Li Huai's pocket array was the most effective.

Moreover, even if the Gaochang king's troops broke the jar and fell, and the whole army was forced to cross and fight against the water, they would not be able to defend the city, so the Gaochang king would run away.

It is equivalent to saying that the king of Gaochang will bite him to death if he comes to 80,000, and the king of Gaochang will come to 150,000, and they will also bite him to death!

The Liang army is the real last battle, and there is not even a predictable way to retreat!

"Who has any objections?" Li Huai asked indifferently.

"The ministers seconded it!"

Everyone said in unison, and they implemented the plan at the beginning, after all, Li Huai was the commander of the Liang army, and this war would be directly commanded by him.

The duty of a soldier is to obey the command, and whether he wins or cannot fight, and whether he can fight or not, can only be said at the meeting.

Can't be on the battlefield without execution!

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and then only execution remains.

Tie Mu immediately rushed back to the south of Longxi City and waited for the opportunity.

The meeting also dispersed.

The adjutant corps put away all the sand tables and maps, and could pull out the camp at any time.

Li Huai came outside alone, stepping on the withered yellow grassland, wandering aimlessly, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the north.

The pressure on him is the greatest.

Staring at such a tremendous pressure, his heart could not calm down at all.

"His Royal Highness King Liang!"

Then.

Mu Yin ran over, still dressed as before, with animal skins as the main element, but did not wear tree bark anymore, and replaced it with cloth belts.

The yellowish skin, the pure and resolute face, and the strong long legs bring a wild beauty.

"What's wrong?" Li Huai asked.

"Do you remember the magic cheats you brought from the Tianshan Mountains?" Mu Yin asked.

Li Huai nodded, "Yes." ”

"Although the Blood Wolf Hussar Battalion is only eight thousand, which is not the twelve thousand people you require, their combat effectiveness is unimaginable."

"Also, the 10,000 People's Corps we formed, although they have not been trained like the Liang Army, they are all the best warriors."

Mu Yin said very angrily.

Li Huai instantly realized that she was here to comfort people, and it was a comfort that was directly considered from reality, without a trace of emotion.

"You rarely come to Longxi County, so I don't think you know much about that." Mu Yin added.

What is called very little.

He hadn't been here once since he beat him.
