Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3133
【I love you, China】

Duan Hu said angrily: "How do you say this? The counties in Hexi were originally guarded by us. If Fang Er can fight to the death without retreating, how can I abandon the city and lose my teacher to humiliate the country? The left and right are just fighting to the death, and we will not let him go." His roommate is making a joke!"

Although he dissatisfied with Fang Jun, he believed that if the fortune came, he could also make a great achievement, but at this moment when the enemy is approaching and the fierce battle is coming, of course he will not act on his will.

Defending the family and the country is the bounden duty of a soldier, and the sons of honored nobles should lead by example and not disgrace the family tradition.

Hou Mo Chen Fan has been silent all the time, now he is stroking his beard under his chin, and said worriedly: "Dadouba Valley is the pass of Qilian Mountain, it crosses Qilian Mountain, tens of thousands of cavalry from Tuyuhun attacked, and those winding roads beside it Zhishan Pass is inconvenient to pass, so he must choose this road. Duke Yue wants to block Tuyuhun's iron cavalry in Dadouba Valley, is he using his own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths?"

Throughout the ages, cavalry battles against infantry have been full of tactical crushing, which is determined by the mobility and combat effectiveness of both sides.No matter how elite infantry were, facing the cavalry charging overwhelmingly, they did not temporarily evade it.

To face-to-face forcefully, is actually suicidal.

Duan Hu also didn't understand: "When that kid Chai Zhewei heard that he was going out of the town of Hexi, he was so frightened that he quickly fell ill. Although he lost his family's prestige, he also avoided the humiliation of being defeated by a powerful enemy. Fang Er thought he would take the initiative to invite Ying. If you can gain prestige, don’t you think that the Tuyuhun Iron Cavalry is just a mob, and you don’t pay attention to it at all?”

He didn't quite believe that Fang Jun was of such a level, but he couldn't understand the method of using pawns to challenge the Tuyuhun iron cavalry head-on.

Hou Mo and Chen Fan remained silent again. He was cautious and didn't express his opinion easily, but he accidentally touched the injury on the back of his hip, gasped in pain, and grinned.

Duan Hu was also in pain, and said angrily: "Fang Er, using our brother as a raft to stand up, is simply abominable! If this battle is defeated, I want to see how he ends up!"

Yuchi Baohuan said with a sneer: "Fang Er's feats are all made with one sword and one gun. When he went to the Western Regions, sent troops to the White Way, and even made a show of power overseas, which time was it not strategizing and winning thousands of miles? If you guessed one of them The method of using troops, I’m afraid it’s been a long time ago! In a word, don’t blame us for not reminding you, now Fang Er is the commander-in-chief, and we are just lieutenants. All strategies are formulated by him, and he is also responsible for winning or losing. Come and bear it, all we can do is obey orders and fight to the end!"

He was a little disdainful.

Do you really think that Fang Er is just a lucky courtier who only licks His Majesty all day long?We are about the same age, and Hou Mo and Chen Fen are almost ten years older. We all come from prominent families, but now we can only eat sand in the land of Hexi, but Fang Er has already become the Duke of the state, in charge of the Ministry of War, and has become the real power in the court. boss.

Can't you see these gaps?

No wonder Fang Er made a show of being aggressive as soon as he came up, just to kill you dumb-headed youths.

Still playing lightly...

Hou Mo and Chen Fan froze for a moment, Yuchi Baohuan's words were harsh, but one sentence was true - Fang Er is now the coach guarding Hexi.

The military is no better than the officialdom. Success or failure in the officialdom may require a bit of human sophistication, but those who can save some kindness are seldom killed.But it is different in the army, military law comes first, no desecration is allowed, and Fang Jun's aggression displayed as soon as he met, clearly used this to build his prestige, and warned the whole army not to take chances, anyone who violated the military law, he will be severely punished.

If there are people who keep the military order and are afraid of the enemy, Fang Er will not care about your family background and background, who would dare to refuse to accept it if you kill him with a knife?
That's a fierce man who has no fear in confronting Changsun Wuji...

Especially since I was born in Guanlong, and I have always been hostile to Fang Jun. If Fang Jun catches this...Hou Mo Chen Fan shuddered, nodded and said: "Your brother Yuchi is right, we are very soldiers , I have likes and dislikes in my heart, but always put military law first, and put family and country first, and you must not resist military law."

The three looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Fang Jun didn't have time to pay attention to the thoughts of the three guarding generals. In his opinion, he had already demonstrated his attitude and toughness in public, and a smart person should know how to do it.In the face of the great enemy, all personal grievances and factional disputes must be put aside, and everyone will cooperate sincerely, fight the enemy side by side, share the merits together, and punish the mistakes together, that's all.

If anyone has any small thoughts in private, he can't blame him for being ruthless. In such a critical moment, what kind of favor do you care about?
Strictly governing the army is the right way.

The [-] soldiers and horses of You Tunwei traveled day and night, and finally arrived outside Dadouba Valley on the afternoon of August [-]th. They set up camp that night, and sent out all the scouts in the general. No news within a radius of tens of miles was missed. Fang Jun used Dinner, take a shower and sleep.

The next morning, Fang Jun woke up early.

After washing up, he called Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting to the Chinese army tent to have breakfast together, and then asked the soldiers to take the dining table away, made a pot of tea, and began to discuss strategies against the enemy.

The soldiers hung the map on the wall, and brought in the sand table made overnight. The terrain at the foot of the Qilian Mountains near Dadouba Valley was in front of them, and they knew it like the palm of their hands.

In history, Dadouba Valley is an important passage to Hehuang in Qinghai in the south and Hexi Corridor in the north, choking the throat of Gansu and Qinghai and the hub of the Silk Road.Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, this place has been a traffic hub and a must-have for military strategists. Many dynasties in history have built camps near it, set up checkpoints, and sent troops to defend, such as the Russian Bo camp, Dadun camp, Dongshuang camp, and Xishuang camp. , Taizipo Yingpan, Tuniucheng Yingpan, etc., some relics still exist today.

Pei Xingjian got up and pointed to a place at the mouth of the Dadouba Valley, which is close to the mouth of the valley, with a surging river on one side, and said: "If the general wants to build a fortress and use firearms to stop the Tuyuhun cavalry, this is the most suitable place. "

The Dadou Valley was extremely steep, and once it was attacked by Tuyuhun, it would be relatively flat land in the Hexi counties. The high mobility of the cavalry could flatten the counties within ten months, and it was difficult to resist.

He also agreed with Fang Jun's strategy of setting up a fort here to stop the Tuyuhun cavalry, but the problem is that the [-] soldiers and horses in the right guard have less than [-] cavalry, and the rest are infantry. Can they withstand the Tuyuhun cavalry?
Dadouba Valley is narrow, and Tuyuhun crossed the valley for dozens of miles and crossed the Qilian Mountains to this point. The impact that Wei will suffer can be imagined.

It can almost be concluded that the so-called Battle of Hexi is very likely to determine the outcome.

Either the Tuyuhun cavalry broke through the blockade of Youtunwei, and then swept across the Hexi counties, or the Youtunwei succeeded in blocking it, causing the Tuyuhun cavalry to die here and the entire army to be wiped out.

It seems that the gambling is a bit heavy, but it is actually the best way.

The counties in Hexi and the Right Tunwei have a total of less than [-] soldiers and horses, but they have to divide their troops to defend the counties of Liang, Gan, and Su, as well as more than ten cities. Cannibalization is inevitable.

This is also the reason why both the government and the opposition are pessimistic about the Battle of Hexi. If they cannot win or defend, how can this battle be fought?
Therefore, Chai Zhewei would rather bear the infamy of "fear of the enemy and fear of war" than pretend to be sick and escape from Zhenhexi...

But if a fortress was built in Dadouba Valley, and the Tuyuhun cavalry were blocked in the valley and could not make a surprise attack, then they would be invincible.

There is no need to annihilate the Tuyuhun cavalry, as long as the battle is stalemate, it will be beneficial to Datang, and the domestic army can be calmly dispatched for reinforcements.Although there are not enough guards everywhere, Longyou, Gyeonggi, Beiting, and even Anxi Army can send a small number of troops to come, and there will be an endless stream of troops, and they will be the victors in the end.

If Tuyuhun abandons Dadou Bagu and chooses other mountain passes to cross Qilian Mountains, he is not afraid.Except for the Dadouba Valley, the Qilian Mountains are all small trails, the terrain is narrow and impassable, let alone the large army, the terrain is steep and difficult, even if thousands of soldiers and horses rush out, they cannot affect the battle situation in Hexi. threaten.

So the question boils down to one point - can You Tunwei stop the Tuyuhun cavalry at Dadouba Valley so that they cannot break into Hexi?

Fang Jun stepped forward to observe the map carefully, and said after a long time, "What do you think of keeping the promise?"

Pei Xingjian said: "No matter how detailed the map is, there are still some things that are difficult to describe. It is better to do some on-the-spot investigation."

Fang Junqi said: "Aren't you worried that the right guards will not be able to block the entrance of the valley, and will be overwhelmed by the Tuyuhun cavalry?"

From the beginning to the end, Pei Xingjian never persuaded him to give up defending Dadou Bagu and divide his troops to garrison the counties in Hexi.With Pei Xingjian's prudence and ability, naturally he would not dare to speak out because he was afraid of Fang Jun's power.

　I wish my motherland, beautiful mountains and rivers, let him go up and down, I will be majestic!I love you, China! ! !
