Su Lie secretly thought to himself in his heart: A few people don't need to test the general again.

If the Dragoons were going to attack, why would they wait until now?

After listening to Su Lie's words, Li Jing turned to Qibi He Li and said, "General Qibi has also been observing here for many days, so it is better for the general to lead people to attack!" ”

Li Jing's words were not simply polite.

He Li is the general of the Liangzhou Army.

People are willing to accompany the dragoons to work here, and they have been waiting here for half a month, which is already considered benevolent and righteous.

If he hadn't been involved in this operation, it would have been a bit unreasonable anyway.

Qi Bi He Li said: "The number of lowly subordinates is not large and they have not yet run in with the army, so it is better for other generals to lead people to attack, and it is better to assist from the side." ”

He Li thought very clearly, any general here would be bigger than his official position.

It's not a big credit to attack the enemy here.

Why should you compete for a without a long time?

Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou on the side, also spoke: "At present, our side has the advantage in numbers, and it is better to attack directly by the main force." ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "In this case, General Wei Chi will lead the main attack, and General Qi Bi will assist from the side." ”

It's just a small battle, so naturally there is no need to send out so many main generals.

Therefore, Wei Chi Jingde became the first of these people to eat crabs.

However, even if the enemy was completely defenseless, Li Jing still asked the army to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night.

In this way, unnecessary losses can be eliminated.

In the dead of night, Wei Chi Jingde, who was already impatient, gave an order.

More than 6,000 cavalry rushed towards the enemy's camp like arrows from the string.

The unsuspecting enemy army did not have time to organize a defense, and the Don army rushed into the camp.

The sentry guards on duty outside were hiding everywhere in a panic.

The yurts were lit by torches, and the soldiers who had been sleeping in them were forced to run out before they could even put on their clothes.

These people were cut to the ground in a daze, and they didn't have time to take a closer look at the enemy in front of them.

It was a one-sided slaughter.

The enemy army of more than 5,000 men, along with the miscellaneous soldiers, was quickly slaughtered.

The dragoon army led by Su Lie had no chance to play at all.

They could only endure a strong fighting spirit and honestly watch from the periphery of the camp.

Adjutant General Zhang Lei complained to Su Lie: "General, why do we have to wait for the army to come and compete with us for merit?" ”

Su Lie comforted: "There are many generals in the army, you and I always have to give others some opportunities." ”

Zhang Lei said: "At present, the army is so large, I am afraid that there will be more monks and less porridge next, and there will be no possibility for us to make contributions?" ”

Su Lie said: "There is no need to worry about this, Manager Li can be regarded as the boss of our waiting, how can he not take care of us in secret?" ”

Zhang Lei nodded after hearing this.

Then he asked with some confusion: "There are so many people in the army, why don't you split up and occupy all parts of Tuyuhun?" Instead, they all came here? ”

Su Lie said: "Xihai is the most important pasture for the Tuyuhun people, and the Qinghai horses stocked here are the war horses that my Tang Dynasty urgently needs, therefore..."

Su Lie said that he would not say anything more.

But Zhang Lei has also figured out the reason.

This area concentrates the most valuable resources in Tuyuhun.

As long as Datang can take this place first, then other regions will no longer need to worry.

At that time, it is only necessary to arrange a large army to slowly clean up.

The battle in the kung fu camp where the two chatted here is over.

It didn't take long for Li Jing to send someone to inform the two to withdraw their troops.

After the end of this battle, Li Jing decided to wait here for the arrival of the main force of the army.

At that time, if the enemy still shows no signs of leaving the city, then lead a large army to attack the city directly.

In fact, according to Datang's current military strength, it can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack.

But then there will definitely be omissions.

At that time, once an enemy fled, it would cause Fu Yun, the king of Tuyuhun, to immediately perceive the arrival of the Tang army.

When the time comes, there is a good chance that he will lead people to escape.

Once this happens, then the next battle against Tuyuhun will not be easy.

It took five days for the rest of the army to arrive.

However, the enemy still did not move out of the city by this time.

Li Jing decided not to wait any longer, so he once again summoned a group of generals to study the tactics of war.

The general Xue Wanjun opened his mouth and said: "Marshal, I have an army of 100,000 in the Tang Dynasty, so it is better to directly surround the city and attack it." ”

Wei Chi Jingde said: "The enemy still has 20,000 troops stationed a hundred miles away from the city, and if the other party finds out, it may urge him to flee, so it may be difficult to follow up the battle." ”

Su Lie said: "Great Marshal, we can divide our troops into two routes, one way to attack the city a hundred miles away, and the other way to solve the enemy in the distance at the same time." ”

Cheng Yanjin said: "From here, except for crossing the city, it is difficult to travel on other roads, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the army to move. ”

Su Lie said: "You might as well let the dragoon army secretly open the enemy's city gate at night, and then the army may be able to achieve miraculous results if you enter quickly." ”

Wei Chi Jingde said: "There are too many people attacking the city, and the other party will definitely find out, and I am afraid that the enemy will abandon the city and flee before our army surrounds the enemy." ”

Su Lie said: "The enemy's defense must be loose at night, and the army can take this opportunity to move closer." ”

Li Jing opened his mouth and said: "Since the city is not suitable for cavalry to run, it is better to block the outside of the city with cavalry, and the infantry army will attack the city." ”

Everyone looked at each other and thought that this method was feasible.

The infantry is light and not easy to be noticed, so they can get as close to the city as possible.

The cavalry was fast enough to quickly encircle the city at the beginning of the battle.

After everyone discussed the tactics of battle, they were immediately sent by the dragoons to monitor the enemy's movements at any time.

The army followed and quickly advanced towards the city.

A hundred miles may not seem like a long distance, but the speed of travel in a hilly area with no roads is certainly not too fast.

The army of 100,000 people, together with heavy supplies, traveled for five days before finally arriving at a place more than ten miles away from the city.

Once here, the army could only simply set up camp and wait for the night to come before proceeding to the next move.

The dragoons' scouts chose a high ground and carefully observed the distribution of enemy posts.

They need to find a defensive blind spot to prepare for a sneak attack at night.

This time, Su Lie planned to send someone close to the city on foot.

They need to quickly kill the guards at the gates and open them.

Since it was impossible for the besieging armies to get too close, they had to be responsible for fending off the enemy's counterattack after opening the door.

This task can be said to be very difficult, because no one knows how many men will be organized for the enemy's counterattack.

When night fell, the warriors of the Dragoons began to move.

They had to get closer to the city in order to wait for the right moment.
