Nibbling on the hard-to-swallow naan in his mouth, Li Shimin pointed to the map and said:

"General Zhao, you mean...... The soldiers and horses led by Jieli Khan are not as huge as the 100,000 he claims? ”

Zhao Cihao nodded.

"Naturally, there is none, if the Turks really have 100,000 elites, where will the last general still be able to defend this city of Fengzhou? It has long been defeated. ”

He said in a deep voice,

"Judging from the defense in recent days, the Turkic soldiers and horses should not exceed 50,000, and there is a sign of division of troops."

"In addition, Jieli did not come alone to lead the troops, he and his brother Tuli each carried soldiers and horses, and came in alliance."

Li Shimin's eyes froze.

"Tuli?"

He swallowed the slice of bread in his mouth and sneered,

"That's interesting, speaking of which, I swore incense with Naturi and agreed to save him in an emergency. It's good that he doesn't help, and he still comes to attack Tang. ”

"Oh, the barbarians will not believe it in the end!"

"Hey, Your Highness, pay attention to faithfulness, let's play, barbarians love treachery the most, this is something engraved in their bones!" Hou Junji said, "Don't say it's an oath, even if it's a son and Lao Tzu, they will be killed!" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Although they are military generals and are as rough as barbarians, they know the word "faithfulness" and "righteousness", and once they make an oath, they will abide by it!

This is the essential difference between the Tang people and the barbarians!

"That being said, this oath can be put to good use."

Xu Feng pointed out suddenly,

"Although the Turks do not speak of faith, they are very good at suspicion and cunning. In particular, Jieli Khan was very suspicious. ”

"Your Highness has a love affair with Tuli, and you may be able to separate these two brothers at that time......"

Li Shimin laughed.

"I knew it was right to bring Mr. out."

He stroked his palms and said,

"You and I want to be together!"

"If Jieli comes alone, it may be tricky. But since it's a brotherhood, then I have a plan! ”

"General Zhao—"

"The last general!" Zhao Cihao hurriedly replied.

"Where are Jieli and Tuli stationed now?" Li Shimin asked.

"General Hui, due to heavy rain for several days, the Turkic attack did not go well, and retreated to the outskirts of the city to camp at Wulonghan."

Zhao Cihao replied,

"Looking at its war horses, there may be more than 10,000, judging from the size of the camp, the strength should be around 40,000 or 50,000."

When all the generals heard this, their expressions sank.

There are more than 10,000 war horses alone, which shows that the scale of the cavalry is huge!

"How many guards are there in the state?" Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but ask.

"Uh......"

Zhao Cihao hesitated slightly, a little embarrassed, and a little depressed,

"The Turks have been attacking the city for days, and our soldiers are desperately defending the city, with heavy casualties!"

"There were originally 6,000 soldiers and horses, but now there are less than 2,000 soldiers...... Both the people and the army in the city are in fear. If it weren't for His Highness's timely rescue, I'm afraid that as soon as the horn of the Turkic attack sounded again, our army would completely collapse, and the city of Fengzhou would also be broken! ”

Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"General Zhao is not easy." He reassured.

Generally speaking, a third of the army is killed, and the morale of the army will be broken.

If more than half of the battle is killed, the general situation is gone, and the main general will almost not be able to control the situation!

In such a tragic situation in Fenzhou now, it is not easy for Zhao Cihao to grit his teeth and hold on, and he can organize soldiers to resist!

"Whew, what's not easy? I am all pulling the banner of His Royal Highness King Qin to stabilize the military heart. ”

Zhao Cihao smiled bitterly.

"I tell the soldiers below every day, if you insist on it, His Royal Highness King Qin will come soon, and he is already on the way with reinforcements!"

When everyone heard the name of King Qin, they were naturally excited, and the military spirit was naturally stabilized. In fact, at that time, I didn't know who the imperial court would send......"

"To be honest, I'm really afraid that it's not Your Highness who is coming, if it is someone else, I'm afraid that as soon as the army enters the city, the hearts of my Fengzhou soldiers will be completely scattered! I'm going to have my spine broken by them! ”

In the hearts of all Tang Army soldiers, the word "King Qin" is a heart booster and a reassurance!

As long as he comes, no matter how difficult the battle is, he can win!

This is the prestige that Li Shimin established in the hearts of Tang Jun when he fought the country.

Its image is almost like the god of war, even Li Jing can't be compared!

"Two thousand soldiers and horses, plus the nine thousand we brought, add up to a total of just over 10,000 soldiers."

Qin Qiong said cautiously,

"With 10,000 infantry versus 50,000 cavalry, this difference in strength ...... It's too much of a disparity. ”

"Even if we occupy the time and people, it will be difficult for our army to fight against it!"

"How about defending the city?"

Wei Chigong shook his head.

"Fengzhou is not a dangerous place, if you defend the city, it is easy to be trapped."

He analyzed,

"And the purpose of our aid is to repel the Turks, not to hold the city."

"Jieli Khan doesn't know that His Highness has come down, let alone how many reinforcements there are, so we have a certain initiative in our hands. But if we don't attack and defend, wouldn't it make people see through the reality and know that we are actually weak? ”

"At that time, Jieli knows that His Royal Highness is here, and he will definitely attack wildly, not only will Fengzhou not be able to defend it, but we will all have to go in!"

Qin Qiong was silent.

The plan to defend the city was the first to pass.

"Since you don't defend it, you can only attack!"

Hou Junjidao,

"But the gap in strength is too big, and the other side has tens of thousands of elite cavalry, if we don't rely on the favorable terrain to fight, we will almost be defeated in a head-on round-trip."

"On flat ground, the advantage of cavalry over infantry is simply too great!"

"Why don't you raid on a rainy night? Hit him off guard first? ”

This time, he shook his head.

"A rainy night raid may be a small victory, but it will not have a decisive impact on the big battle."

He said,

"And after a raid, the Turks must be prepared, and the second time it will be difficult to succeed, and then it will return to the previous problem-"

"The vigilant army of 50,000, how to fight, how to repel?"

At this moment, everyone was silent, and they all looked at Li Shimin.

"General, how do you think our army should act?"

They had no choice but to turn to Li Shimin, the backbone of the main body, for help.

Li Shimin did not answer immediately, but fell into thought.

Seeing that King Qin couldn't think of a good way for the time being, the generals couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Wei Chigong turned his head, and suddenly saw Xu Fenglei waving a feather fan, his expression was as usual, and he couldn't help but feel joking.

"Mr. Big!"

He snatched Xu Fenglei's feather fan, and said with a smile,

"Your identity this time is a general with the army, and you have to make suggestions for the battle situation."

"You can't snooze and mess around!"

"With your ingenuity, you will definitely be able to think of a way to break the situation, can you tell us about it, and it will save us from the ...... of leaving us here with a sad face."

Zhao Cihao was slightly surprised.

He hadn't paid much attention to the young general before.

Now seeing Wei Chigong's expression and words, coupled with King Qin's attitude just now...... This young man, very powerful?
