Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3108 Enemy Strategy
Fang Jun had great confidence in the military accomplishment of several of his subordinates.

Among the three, only Cheng Wuting's achievements were inferior. Gao Kan and Pei Xingjian were both famous generals of a generation, and the latter became the prime minister of a dynasty, and his name was passed on to future generations to shine in history.When it comes to marching and fighting, I feel ashamed of myself.Although the three of them have not yet fully evolved, they are not perfect, but such things as talent are enough to crush ordinary people.

Pei Xingjian obviously had a plan in mind, when he heard Fang Jun's question, he pointed to the position of Dadoubagu on the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy is numerous and we are few, and the Hexi counties are very scattered. If you want to defend everywhere, you must Divide the troops everywhere, our little force is not enough to defend. If the enemy breaks down one by one, we will not be able to defend anywhere. In the view of the last general, it is better to put all the soldiers in the battle of Dadou Bagu At the mouth of the valley, temporary fortifications were built with cement to resist the cavalry attack and stop the enemy with all our strength."

Fang Jun was silent.

Dadouba Valley is more than 150 kilometers long, the widest part is 20 meters, and the narrowest part is less than [-] meters.

If we follow Pei Xingjian's words to set up a position here to block the attack, it will make it difficult for Tuyuhun's overwhelmingly superior number of cavalry to exert their maximum combat power, and the scene of thousands of troops galloping and charging will definitely not be seen, and only a dozen or so cavalry will stand side by side. Rushing forward can offset the disadvantage of the Tang army's strength to the greatest extent.

But this strategy has a fatal flaw, that is, all the [-] Tang troops are stationed here, and they will either block the Tuyuhun cavalry at the valley entrance, kill a mountain of corpses, blood sea ghosts and cry wolves, or be broken by the Tuyuhun cavalry. The entire Hexi counties were exposed to the enemy in an instant, and they will only be overthrown sooner or later.

Too risky.

After thinking and thinking, Fang Jun asked Gao Kan and Cheng Wuting again: "Do you two have a good plan?"

Gao Kan said: "Pei Changshi's strategy seems to be dangerous, but it may not be so. We Chen Bing Gukou, head-to-head, with the help of fortifications can take advantage of firearms. Since the enemy cavalry broke through the blockade, they can only break through along the two ends of the position. At the same time It can continue to kill and wound, but the position can be kept safe. The cavalry can't rush to the position of the concrete building, right? Even if they rush over from both sides of the position, they are just remnant soldiers. As long as the counties close the gates and refuse With the enemy outside, it is absolutely impossible to capture any of them. After the main force of our army defeats the enemy, we can turn back and calmly defend the endgame, wipe out the remnants of the enemy army, and keep the Hexi counties safe."

Cheng Wuting also said: "The key to this strategy lies in whether we can defeat the main force of the enemy's army at the mouth of the valley, and at the same time ensure that our army's position is safe. From the point of view of the general, the quality of the soldiers in the right guard, the strength of the battle, and the firearms The level of equipment can ensure victory."

He has been participating in the drills of the Right Guards, and he is familiar with the various tactics practiced by the Right Guards. He knows how powerful an army will explode when it is fully defensive.

The solid fortifications were built with cement, and the elite soldiers of the right guards defended them with firearms. It is no exaggeration to say "as solid as gold".

Even if the enemy's army is ten times larger than his own, Cheng Wuting firmly believes that he can hold his position without losing it.

Fang Jun hesitated.

If he had gone out of Baidao and entered Mobei, he would have adopted such a strategy without hesitation, but the Battle of Hexi was so important that it almost affected the fate of the country, and he dared not take the slightest risk.

If they failed to withstand the valley entrance of Dadouba Valley, the cavalry of Tuyuhun broke into the Hexi Corridor and swept across the counties. Chaos, that no one can bear.

After thinking for a long time, Fang Jun said in a deep voice: "Well, why not make up your mind for the time being, and order the army to carry more cement. After arriving in Hexi, carefully survey the terrain of Dadouba Valley, and send out scouts to search for the traces of Tuyuhun cavalry. decide."

"Here!"

Pei Xingjian and others also knew that the matter was of great importance, the situation was unfavorable due to the number of enemies and us, and any strategy must be perfect, and the slightest mistake could lead to the final defeat, so they responded immediately.

Fang Jun greeted them to sit down, Cheng Wuting poured tea for them, Fang Jun took a sip of tea, and said: "The Taishi Bureau has chosen the date of the expedition, and His Highness has chosen it as the first day of August. Can the various departments in the army prepare to stop? Will we be able to set off on time?"

Pei Xingjian put down his teacup and said: "Don't worry, Commander, all the preparations in the army are in order, and it will be completed in two days, and the auspicious time for the expedition will definitely not be delayed."

He is the chief history of the army, and he has the right to participate in the supervision of various affairs in the army, so there is nothing up and down that is not under his control.

Such a capable and completely trustworthy talent as the chief history made Fang Jun much more relaxed.

Fang Jun felt a little apologetic in his heart, and sighed softly: "This time, His Highness transferred you to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to serve as a doctor in the Ministry of Finance. The reason is to reform the currency system and stabilize prices. If you do well, you can go straight to Qingyun, and it is not impossible to directly enter the Ministry of Finance. Why bother to go to You Tunwei to take part in this drudgery? Going west with the army will not only delay the promotion, but also risk your life if you make trouble."

This time it was Pei Xingjian who took the initiative to go to the East Palace and begged Li Chengqian to transfer him to Youtunwei to take up the post of Chief History Officer again. In Fang Jun's view, this was nothing but nonsense.If the errands of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are done well, that will be Pei Xingjian's most solid political achievement. In the future, he will be able to directly enter the central government. How can he give up halfway?

Pei Xingjian didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief thinks that His Highness is still thinking about reforming the currency system? The enemy is now, and the most important thing is to defeat the enemy and stabilize Guanzhong. The whole court must do their best for this. There is no spare energy in the country to implement the reform of the currency system. Besides, at the beginning it was General Jian Ba ​​who entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and the top and bottom of the right guards were all the robes of the last generals. How could they see the robes fighting on the battlefield? Fate, but the last general sits in the middle of the capital and enjoys himself comfortably? Sima Gong once said, "Everyone is mortal, and he is heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather." The book of sages knows the truth of killing one's life for benevolence and giving up one's life for righteousness. At this critical juncture, if you can contribute to the country and live against death, you will have no regrets in this life."

Gao Kan also said angrily: "The thieves betrayed their trust and rebelled against the empire. As a son of the Tang Dynasty, he should go forward bravely to defend his family and the country. He only needs to kill the thieves with a white blade. Why worry about himself? Pei Changshi's ambition is so high, don't Fear of safety and danger is indeed a role model for our generation! Commander, I beg you to go to Hexi with the army, even if you die on the battlefield, you will have no regrets!"

As he spoke, he got up and knelt down on one knee, pleading.

Right now, the entire Youtunwei is regarded as a hero by the people in Guanzhong because they are about to go to Hexi.

But he was ordered to guard the Xuanwu Gate, and he couldn't go through life and death with Pao Ze to snipe the enemy, he was really useless.

Fang Jun was silent.

Throughout the ages, no matter whether the nation is strong or weak, whenever it is critical, there will always be some people who will step forward to protect the backbone of the nation, live to death, and have no regrets.It is these people with lofty ideals who emerge in endlessly, passed on from generation to generation, and build the soul of the Chinese nation.

They would rather die standing than live on their knees!
Letting out a sigh of relief, Fang Jun said kindly: "Don't just look at the enemy in front of you. Behind us, there are still countless people with ulterior motives secretly plotting shady tricks, intending to overthrow the empire. To achieve their selfish intentions. Although you can't face powerful enemies with Pao Ze, but stationed at Xuanwu Gate is also for the peace of the empire and the safety of the crown prince. The battlefield is different, but the situation is more dangerous, because you don't even know Who is the enemy! Stay with peace of mind and keep your eyes wide open to guard the Xuanwu Gate, which is to protect the lifeline of the empire, the inheritance of the country, and the well-being of the world. Don't let us bleed in the Western Regions, but suddenly find that there is a mess behind us .”

Is Hexi in danger?Nature is extremely dangerous.

Tuyuhun has been planning for a long time, once the rebellion is sure to be thunderous, the number of troops and the momentum of the soldiers will gain the upper hand in a short time.Facing such a strong opponent, even the champion Hou Fusheng dare not say that he is sure of victory.

However, the most dangerous place is in Chang'an.

His Majesty Li Er made an expedition to Liaodong, and all the forces in Chang'an City were secretly planning, and no one knew which side would suddenly launch it at the next moment.

Once the Xuanwu Gate falls, Li Chengqian will not be safe even if he enters Xingqing Palace.

The entire empire will be involved in turmoil, and what will follow will be chaos in the world, flames of war everywhere, and the good situation will be destroyed once.

　Don't forget the national humiliation, revitalize China! ! !
