Gao Shida quickly approached Changle, Xuan Ting had to intercept it, his department of 12,000 people, 6,000 cavalry.

Or armored riding.

The cavalry is suitable for charging into battle, and the 100,000 soldiers of Gao Shida are divided into more than a dozen roads, covering Changle like a big net, and it is completely impossible for Xuan Ting to intercept it.

A march of 100,000 people will definitely not take only one road, because the destination is one, and in order for the army to be able to arrive as quickly as possible, it must be broken into pieces and approached from all directions.

How did Xuan Ting stop it? I blocked two roads along the way, but I couldn't stop three roads and four roads.

Gao Shida's main force in the middle must be in the innermost, and Xuan Ting has almost no chance to break through the periphery and go straight to Huanglong.

"Such a large army, the logistics of grain and grass are absolutely heavy, if it can be burned, half the success will be done," at the foot of an unknown mountain, Xuan Ting's army was stationed here, they had left Zaoqiang County for two days, and they had been looking for a suitable blocking point.

The place where I am right now, in the heart of a mountain, there is a big road that leads directly to Changle, and there will definitely be rebels passing here.

Hearing Xu Shiji's statement, Xuan Ting said: "More than 100,000 people, where is the baggage, we don't know, if we know, we can't get by." ”

"If the general gives the lowly position a thousand light horsemen, ten days of soldiers and horses rations, enough oil, and the lowly position is willing to go deep into the heart of the enemy army and take a risk," Xu Shiji said.

Yang Xuanting admired and said: "Your kid is indeed not small, this errand is a fateful thing, ten deaths and no life." ”

Xu Shiji said: "Gucheng Jungong (Tuwanxu) is attacking Changle day and night, Zhang Xutuo and Cui Shishu are storming Changlu and Jingcheng, at this time, if Gao Shida is allowed to stand firm, the battle of Xindu will be protracted, once the thief arrives, I will fall into adversity, if I can destroy its grain and grass, it will be a great blow to its morale, either a quick battle or a quick retreat, Gao Shida will never dare to choose a quick battle before the arrival of the thief." ”

Yang Xuanting pondered for a moment and nodded: "Since you are willing to ask for war, I will allow you, if you can survive, I will go to the court to ask for merit for you." ”

Next, it is to allocate troops and horses for Xu Shiji.

A thousand cavalry must be light cavalry, if you wear armor, there is no mobility, it is very easy to be encircled and pursued, their cavalry is not to kill the enemy, but to set fire, do not find the rebel food and grass, will never engage in battle.

The rebels are coming with 100,000 people, only the generals know, and they will not let the ordinary soldiers know, you know, you don't dare to go, the ignorant are fearless.

The thousand people selected by Xuan Ting for Xu Shiji were all vigorous people, Hedong Qu, lightly dressed, carrying ten-day rations and fine materials for war horses, as well as enough oil.

In terms of weapons, only the horse lance and short crossbow remained, and the rest were all abandoned, and there was not even soft armor on the body, which belonged to a complete light horse.

This is a death squad.

Xu Shiji was also mixed step by step in history, although after entering the Tang Dynasty, he basically presided over large-scale corps operations, but when he was in Wagang, he also slowly mixed up from the bottom.

A young general like him who was born in a civilian can not go up if he doesn't play with his life, and if he has a background like Xuan Zong and Xuan Ting, he has to play with his life ten times as long.

During the night, a thousand light horsemen left the garrison and headed north, and they would search for food and grass among a dozen rebels and 100,000 men, and if they could burn them successfully, the merit would be great.

After all, it takes time for Geqian to go south, and it takes time for you to go to the village and call your uncle to come to your house for dinner, and it takes time for 150,000 people to come south from Hejian County to Xindu.

Gao Shida is still smart, and all the refined weapons captured after the defeat of Xuanzong were left to Xie Ling and Liu Heimin, he knew very well that if these two places could not bear it, he would be attacked by the enemy on his back, and his life would hang by a thread.

Zhang Xutuo's desperate onslaught was completely at any cost, as long as he could break the city, even if he only had a few thousand people left, it would be a decisive victory.

And Cui Shishu's side, playing very well, 30,000 Cui family's children's army, constantly attacking the city, after losing more than 3,000 people, removed the camp, pretending to pursue Gao Shida to the west.

In fact, it's just a gesture, I can't beat Jingcheng, if I don't fight, I'll chase Gao Shida.

Can Liu Heimin let him go? Definitely not, his task is to stop Zhang Xutuo and Cui Shishu, so as soon as Cui Shishu pulled out, he sent his general Pang Kun to lead 10,000 troops to chase after him with his tail.

After Cui Shishu learned that the pursuers were coming, he accelerated his march and killed a horse gun on the outskirts of a valley, and at the same time, Yang Yuanqing's troops who were waiting here suddenly came out and wiped out all the rebels.

After that, Cui Shishu returned to Jingcheng and continued to preside over the siege, while Yang Yuanqing pursued Gao Shida westward.

Liu Heimin has a total of 20,000 people, and he has just fought, and 10,000 people are gone, so Yang Yuanqing expects that the other party will never dare to go out of the city again, so he can be dragged by Cui Shishu and go west with confidence.

In the direction of Zhao County, Dou Jiande did not base the city to resist the official army, he was fighting guerrillas.

He knew that he was facing Li Jing, so he divided the rebels under his command into six routes, all kinds of harassment and attacks, running away after a while, and disturbing after a while, not blindly blocking the attack.

This method is actually clever, and it will give the other party the illusion that the enemy does not have the courage to engage in battle, and I can force it through.

But when you really want to break through with all your might, he will gather and attack you a little, which will make you tired of coping, and you can't fight or go.

Guerrilla warfare is the most difficult to fight, because everyone's strategic goals are different, Li Jing urgently needs to go east from Zhaojun to enter Xindu, while Dou Jiande is all kinds of harassment and delay, which is annoying.

"There is news from the front, Ge Qian is going south, our troops can't advance quickly, and the situation in Xindu will fall into passivity," Zhang Dinghe said: "Now that the march is disturbed, it is difficult to advance quickly, if the base is formed to meet the battle, and the enemy army refuses to engage in battle, how can it be good." ”

After that, Zhang Dinghe said to the flag officer beside him: "Report my original words to Manager Li." ”

The 4,000 men under his command were the vanguard army, responsible for opening the way.

After entering Zhao County in the early days, he found that the county seat was empty and there were no rebels, so Li Jing knew that it was not good, so he sent Zhang Dinghe to march to the northeast of Liao Tao County as a test.

This time, he tried to attack thirteen times, and Zhang Dinghe was almost annoyed to death.

You sneak attack me, I form a formation to meet the enemy, you don't come, I continue to march, you are here again.

In fact, he had already detected that there were definitely a lot of enemy troops, and in fact, they could completely eat his army of 4,000 people, but they just wouldn't eat it.

This is basically certain that the other side does not intend to fight a decisive battle, and the purpose is only to delay.

Li Jing and Chen Junbin are together, in fact, Wu'an Taishou Chen Junbin does not have many soldiers and horses, only 2,000 people, plus Li Jing's reorganization of 10,000 people, that is, 12,000.

Against Dou Jiande, there was no advantage in troops, and the advantage in combat effectiveness could not be brought into play because others were fighting guerrillas.

Li Jing, who received Zhang Dinghe's report, said with a smile: "In this way, Gao Shida should be about to arrive in Changle, Dou Jiande is providing Gao Shida with an opportunity to eat Tu Wanxu, to be precise, after Ge Qian and Gao Shida joined forces, they ate Tu Wanxu." ”

"Then we need to speed up the march, and the main force of General Li is the elite cavalry, and the enemy rebels can't catch up," Chen Junbin suggested.

When Li Jing crossed the river, he gave all the war horses to Huangfu Wuyi, but after Liyang destroyed Wagang, the war horses also came back, and the lost soldiers were replenished by 1,500 from the rebels.

Originally, it was still a rebel, but it became the head of the East Palace Guard, and this group of people surrendered the most.

On the other hand, Dou Jiande, 20,000 horses and 2,000 cavalry are not bad, they are all traitors from exiles, if you give him a horse, he won't be able to ride.

Li Jing shook his head: "Dou Jiande will not let us pass comfortably, in the past, he will also frequently attack and harass behind him, he is not a guerrilla, let's also divide the troops, you lead the troops to find a mountain road to march eastward, Pei Xingyan led two thousand cavalry, from Zhangding and Shiqiao Township in the south, Han Xiaoji passed through Zhangding and the north, you are scattered in four ways, responsible for attracting, and I will lead the troops to the north." ”

"To the north? Why go north? Han Shige was surprised.

Li Jing said lightly: "Don't ask, you just follow me." ”

He's going to intercept Ge Qian.

With a Gao Shida alone, you will definitely not be able to eat Tu Wanxu, but it is different with Ge Qian, so Li Jing is called using his way to repay his body, aren't you delaying me to support Tu Wanxu? Then I will delay Geqian to support Gao Shida.

If Li Jing goes north, he needs to cross the river, and the area around the river is a plain area with a horse and a flat river, and if you attack the cavalry with infantry in this place, you are looking for death.

So Li Jing went north, Dou Jiande knew what the other party wanted to do, but he couldn't stop it, the two legs were in the plain, how could he stop the four legs?

Unlike Zhang Dinghe, who was full of winding paths, the cavalry couldn't run, so they were taken by Dou Jiande.

So since the main strategy of Zhang Dinghe and others is to attract, and the secondary strategy is to advance eastward, then Pei Xingyan, the cavalry army, has been given a new task.

Fight guerrillas.

Huh~~~ I don't go east, I'm running around, looking for your small force to sneak attack.

This sneak attack is not just a fight and run, once you are targeted by Pei Xingyan, you have to kill you, because his task is to go and kill at will.

Dou Jiande was completely panicked, and a main force of the imperial court went straight to the water, and the rest to the east were scattered into several roads, among which there was a-stirring stick running around.

This situation is beyond his ability, and the little art of war he read after the rebellion is useless.

The one that goes to the north can't be stopped at all, and the heavy armored cavalry is in the plains, so it can only deal with the east.

So he turned the pieces into a whole, and the troops were divided into three ways, wanting to seek a decisive battle with superior forces.

The three main generals are him, Sun Anzu, and adopted son Dou Facai.

Among them, Dou Jiande personally dealt with Zhang Dinghe.

Dou Jiande in history is a politician, if he dominates Hebei and subdues famous generals, he is definitely the number one person, because he still knows how to use people well, has the skills to control and his personality charm, but if he himself is a main general, it will be almost meaningless.

And Zhang Dinghe is a famous general, of course, he is not too powerful, and the famous generals of the Great Sui are like clouds, and he can't show him.

Therefore, the relationship between Zhang Dinghe and Dou Jiande can be regarded as a horizontal dialogue.

Win or lose.
