Chapter 12 Planning

When Lin Fengjin passed, he found that there were still a few people in the tent who were talking to Lu Yu about something, he listened quietly for a while, and did not speak, and after listening to a few words, he found that these people were the generals of the Qinwang Army who came to visit, Lu Yu was comforting them, and also talked about things like promotion and wealth, and the words were quite eager, and those people listened to tears in their eyes, and they almost knelt down.

After these people left, Lu Yu looked at Lin Feng and said:

"You didn't say a word in today's military discussion, do you have any ideas?"

Lin Feng bowed respectfully and said:

"The minister is the head of the camp, and the major matters discussed by the king and the minister are not within the scope of the minister's authority, so naturally he does not have much right to speak. ”

Lu Yu glanced at Lin Fengjin deeply:

"It's not that you don't have the right to speak, the head of the march has the authority to participate in the military planning, as long as you can say it, then no one will say anything, the key is that I think you have ideas, but you don't say it!

If the rest of the courtiers heard Lu Yu's words, they would definitely be very frightened at this time, sweating like pulp, and kneeling on the ground and saying that they didn't dare, but Lin Fengjin spread out his hands with a wry smile and said:

"Your Majesty, you're going to roast me on the fire!"

Lu Yu took a deep look at Lin Feng and said:

"Where did you say that?"

Lin Fengjin sighed and said:

"Actually, I don't believe that you don't have a clue, otherwise, if I don't admit my mistake, these generals you saw just now are all from the Qin Wang Army, right?"

Lin Fengjin, as the head of the camp, grasps the logistics matters, of course, he also has to deal with people from all walks of life, and it is not unusual for him to know these generals. As soon as Lu Yu heard Lin Fengjian's words, a bright light immediately shone in his eyes. Then he snorted coldly and said:

"Hearing you say this, it seems that you really have some clues, saying that your vision is really poisonous, so let's talk about it? In the past, there were many people, you should have a little scruples, but now what you say goes to heaven and earth, just out of your mouth and into my ears, there should be nothing to hide, right?"

Now that Lu Yu has a clue on his own, Lin Fengjin doesn't have much to worry about when he speaks. After pondering for a while, he said:

"In fact, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have always had a very big flaw, and this flaw is an innate advantage, that is, infantry, and the disadvantage of infantry lies in mobility. Although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are rare well-trained elites, and they can even form such a large square formation on the battlefield, and they are always chaotic when they move slowly, but I believe that this is absolutely impossible for them to be their normal state. ”

After Lu Yu listened to Lin Fengjin's words, he also frowned and said:

According to the captured captives. When they usually train, they can at least maintain this formation and go out for ten miles. ”

Lin Fengjin said lightly:

"Ten miles is already remarkable, but they can't keep this turtle formation when they are marching, so once the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty move to march. It is their weakness, once they are attacked by cavalry at this time, then they will not be able to give full play to their own advantages, and the casualties will be very heavy. So. When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were marching, it was bound to have cavalry scattered on both wings to cover them. Once an enemy is attacking, you can get a warning in time and have enough time to prepare. ”

"At the same time, once the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty successfully lined up, even if their cavalry occupies a disadvantage, they can retreat between the formation of the Central Tang Dynasty soldiers and be protected, so that the two complement each other, and it can be said that the effect is excellent. However, within the Central Tang Army, I know one thing, that is, from top to bottom, they all agree that the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty are the trump cards, and the cavalry is an auxiliary type of troops, and they do not realize the importance of their cavalry."

"This is also related to the combat environment in which the Tang Army usually operates, when they fight against Nanzheng, most of them are mainly urban offensive and defensive battles, and when they are fighting with Xirong, they are in hilly and mountainous areas where cavalry is not easy to deploy, that is, when they are with our Northern Qi, they need to worry about cavalry, and in the past ten years, Zhongtang seems to know that my Daqi is not easy to mess with, so the direction of progress is in South Zheng and Xirong. ”

After Lu Yu listened to Lin Fengjin's words, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes:

"You're not wrong at all, the people of the Tang Dynasty really take the cavalry too lightly! There is also news from the inside of our side, saying that after the traitor Tian Heng defected to the past, the elite cavalry under his command was also despised by the people of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention all kinds of preferential treatment that they had enjoyed in our Daqi, and all kinds of status were even reduced in an all-round way! Morale has dropped very badly, and their attitude towards the cavalry can be seen, so several generals who were coerced on Tian Heng's side also have a heart of remorse. ”

Lin Fengjin groaned:

"Since this is the case, then I think the king is also confident, and the next tactics should revolve around the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. To them, the cavalry of the Middle Tang Dynasty is like shoes, rice, salt and other things, which seem to be very ordinary, inconspicuous, and easy to ignore, but once they really lack this thing, they will find it very deadly!"

Lu Yu nodded and said:

"You're not wrong at all, but the Zhongtang people are definitely not stupid, so we only have one chance, once this opportunity is not seized, then once the other party wakes up, then we can say that it is very passive!

Since Lin Fengjin had already understood Lu Yu's intentions at this time, and the relationship between him and Lu Yu was not an ordinary monarch and minister, he took a deep breath and said:

"If this is the case, in order to be foolproof, then you must bait, and it is a heavy bait! force the other party to bite the hook, so that once they step into the trap, it is too late to turn back!"

Lu Yu nodded, and then said expressionlessly:

"I think the same way, things in the world are originally gains and losses, and this time I also saw the performance of Qin Wangjun, which really disappointed me"

Lin Fengjin said at this time:

"Your Majesty, you can't say that, although the performance of Qin Wangjun is not too good. But it also depends on their opponents. Given time, it will not be difficult to train an elite soldier from it. ”

Lu Yu shook his head slightly and said:

"It's a pity that I don't have much time for them now. ”

Lin Fengjin was silent for a while and said:

"Since this is the case, it can be seen that the king already has a draft, so it is inconvenient for the minister to say more, there are only two things, one is how to deal with the baggage that came with the army?"

Lu Yu said:

"Burn what you can, burn what you can, bury what you can. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded and said:

"Then the second thing, since Tian Heng's subordinates have the intention of rectifying, then this matter should be tightened a little, if they can repent of it. After the defection, intercepting the enemy at a critical time, which is equivalent to blocking the enemy's retreat like an iron gate, is even more helpful to this plan. ”

After listening to Lin Fengjin's words, Lu Yu frowned and said:

"Isn't it inappropriate for this group of capricious thieves to be used in such a critical position?"

Lin Fengjin shook his head and said:

"The role of these people is not to fix the needle, but to delay, and the war is together, as long as they want to. It was able to silently approach the closest place to the retreat route of the Zhongtang people without arousing suspicion - even if the Snake Swallower Army could intercept such a thing as the enemy's retreat, but the king, the lion and the rabbit, also did their best. Of course, it is necessary to use all forces, and the minister thinks that it is good to have an extra insurance for everything. ”

Lu Yu pondered for a while, and finally nodded:

"You're right, I'm going to order some concessions from the person in charge of contacting. ”

Following. The Chinese Tang Army once again came out of battle and tried to attack the camp of the Northern Qi Army, but this time the Chinese Tang Army had just taken a position under the city. However, the Northern Qi army has directly dispatched cavalry to cover the left and right flanks, and it is obvious that as long as the Central Tang Army attacks, it will immediately be an embarrassing situation of being surrounded by the enemy on three sides.

The Central Tang Army obviously didn't expect the Northern Qi Army's actions to be so resolute this time, and immediately hesitated, because according to this situation, if it is going to be hard, then the scale of the war is likely to expand and deteriorate directly, and the Chinese Tang Army is obviously not ready to launch a full-scale decisive battle today, once it spreads, it will be very passive.

So the battle of this day was not completed after all, and the two sides held each other until noon, and then they each collected their troops and went home. After returning that day, the Zhongtang Army immediately held a military meeting, and as soon as the bastards of the Northern Qi Dynasty dispatched cavalry, their own people would not dare to go up, so they quickly began to coordinate, coordinate and dispatch, and be sure to take all kinds of situations into account.

So the next day, the fully prepared Tang Army came to call the battle again, aimed at the Northern Qi Army camp step by step, and then advanced, and at this time the cavalry of the Northern Qi Army did not even have a ghost shadow, so the Tang Army was very simply killed, but I didn't expect the Northern Qi Army to resist a little and simply withdrew, of course, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were full of energy to pursue, but after chasing into two or three hundred steps, there was a feeling of stepping into the air, and then I saw the surrounding fireworks rising.

It turned out that the main force of the Northern Qi army had completely retreated from this large camp! Moreover, a large amount of oil, firewood, and other flammable materials were buried in the ground of the main camp, and as soon as they were ignited, twenty or thirty fireheads burned at the same time, burning the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty who invaded it, and even hundreds of people were wounded and killed.

When the spies went to investigate again, they learned that the Northern Qi army did not know when, but actually set up a new camp ten miles away, and it was not too accurate to say that it was a new camp, but it was rebuilt with the camp that was transported with grain and grass.

It can be seen that this camp was built in a hurry, and all kinds of protective equipment are not complete, but if the Zhongtang Army attacks again at this time, its spirit has been frustrated, and at the same time, it has been delayed until now, it is already afternoon.

For the Tang Army, which pays attention to the command formation, of course, it is necessary to avoid such a thing as night battles as much as possible, so in desperation, they can only collect troops and return to the camp.

On the third day, the Northern Qi army's retreat of ten miles back camping was manifested, originally the camp of the Northern Qi army was stationed five miles outside the city of Zuoliucheng, this kind of camping method is the most commonly used when the army is attacking the city, why is it commonly used? It is because this method has been used many times, and it belongs to the most mature kind after being tempered by facts.

For the besieging side, if the camp is too close to the city wall, it is easy to be attacked by the defensive weapons on the city, and it is also very convenient for the defenders to come and steal the camp, but once the camp is too far, not to mention anything else, it is a very troublesome thing to get the siege car, crash or something close to the city wall every day, not to mention that too far away will consume too much physical strength of the armored siege soldiers.

Therefore, the distance of camping five miles away from the city has been repeatedly demonstrated and thought about by countless battle examples, and it can be called a golden distance that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

However, the Northern Qi army suddenly retreated ten miles and camped, adding up to a full fifteen miles back to the outside of the city, what the hell is this?

There is no such siege method recorded in any military book.

The way to siege the city, the most important thing is to isolate the city from the outside world, the so-called siege of three queyi, refers to the people in the city to release a way that seems to be able to escape, absolutely not to say that the "queyi" is completely ignored, in fact, the siege of the city throughout the ages, really fought to the end of the city in the food of the war examples are a few, the key is to surround the other party, completely block the news of the kind of lonely and empty pressure on the psychological impact of people is really too great, and more importantly, it will increase over time.

The besieging side stationed their camp fifteen miles away from the city, which means that there is almost no way to isolate the news in the city from the outside world, and even transportation can be carried out secretly in the dark, such as the escape of the people in the city, or the transportation of food into the city by outsiders.

However, everything is special!!For example, Zuo Liucheng at this time is a special situation. (To be continued......)
