Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3578 Confuse the enemy
Zhang Shigui is also a veteran in the battlefield, he fought in both the south and the north throughout his life, although his reputation is not as famous as Li Jing, Li Ji, and Cheng Yaojin's generation, but his meritorious service is not inferior.He rose up in troubled times, brave and unparalleled, but did not raise the extravagant hope of winning the world and separatist regimes, but "waiting for the auspiciousness of the tyrant", looking forward to a figure like Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty who was stationed in the tyrant... …

Until Li Yuan, the Duke of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, raised troops in Jinyang and occupied Chang'an, he "sent envoys to transfer money" and led his rebel army to defect.

People at the time praised him for his "elegant strategy and elegant calculations, Yu Fubo's change of rules; decisive victory and push forward, and the formation of Changshan", which shows that even if Zhang Shigui's military strategy is not the best in the world, it is probably only succumbed to a few people such as Li Jing under……

At this moment, on the Xuanwu Gate, looking down at the battle formation of the Right Tunwei from a high position, one can see the strategy adopted by the formation of troops at a glance: "Your Highness, please see, generally speaking, although the artillery is powerful, it needs heavy guards, otherwise once Being bullied by the enemy, not only will they lose their power, but they are also likely to be destroyed by the enemy, so they put gunpowder in the rear and guard them heavily. But right now, the guards in the right camp have pushed out all the artillery in the camp and lined up. Put it under the enemy's eyelids, so that the enemy can see clearly, it can be said to be unexpected."

Princess Jinyang lay on the arrow stack and looked forward. After looking for a long time, she couldn't see any mystery. She turned her head and blinked, and asked, "Why is this?"

Zhang Shigui obviously loved this little princess very much, his eyes were fascinated, the smile on his face was as warm as charcoal fire, and his tone was as gentle as a spring breeze, and he said softly: "From the performance, it is shocking, let the enemy see you You Tunwei has so many cannons, but retreated despite the difficulties. In essence, it is nothing more than a strong external force."

Princess Li Jing was puzzled: "Why is this? The cannons are so powerful, so many cannons lined up, the rebels must be scared!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Shigui stroked his beard and smiled, he didn't see half of the demeanor of a general guarding the imperial city and controlling the Beiya imperial army. He looked kindly and kindly like an old man in the country: "Although the old minister knows little about artillery, he also knows that although it is extremely powerful, its lifespan is limited, and it can shoot a certain amount. After the shell is fired, the barrel will be damaged, and if it cannot be replaced in time, there is a danger of explosion."

The implication is that these cannons have probably been abolished, and the reason why they are pushed out in front of the formation at this moment is just to deter the enemy.

Princess Jinyang turned around and looked at the majestic artillery outside the Youtunwei camp, and the enemy in the distance had obviously stopped moving forward, and she was very puzzled: "But how do you guess that these artillery have been abolished, Mr. Guoguo? Tunwei is just trying to scare the rebels?"

Zhang Shigui smiled more and more happily: "Of course the old minister is not sure, but the rebels are also not sure. The old minister guessed wrong, at most it would be a joke in front of His Highness, but if the rebels guessed wrong, they would risk being fired." The risk of being bombarded indiscriminately."

Princess Jinyang was stunned, clapped her palms and said with a charming smile: "So! This idea must have come from Mrs. Wu, she is the only one who can be so treacherous!"

Princess Changle said angrily, "How can anyone speak like that? They are not educated! In fact, it may not be just to scare people. You see, although the cannons are lined up, they are right in front of the infantry array. If the enemy launches a charge, these The artillery can just block the impact of the enemy cavalry, and the effect is much better than those of Juma and Luzhai."

Zhang Shigui praised: "Ms. Wu is proficient in the art of war and has extraordinary strategies. Your Highness is as bright as a mirror and extremely intelligent. She is really a heroine. The right guard may not be afraid of these rebels, but after all, the battalion is empty. How can we not fight?" It is best for the rebels to retreat in the face of difficulties in this battle, if not, the cannons can also be used to frighten the enemy and stop the cavalry, which is really killing two birds with one stone."

The elders nodded repeatedly, thinking that this cunning strategy must have come from Wu Meiniang, that little lady is beautiful, but she is full of scheming and cunning, which is much better than Princess Gaoyang.

Li Junxian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "The rebels have retreated!"

*****
Can you not return?
Since the day when the Guanlongmen faction raised their troops, they have really suffered from too many artillery pieces.Originally mobilized heavy troops hoping to capture the foundry bureau and seize the firearms in the warehouse to attack the imperial city, but the students from the academy entered first and resisted desperately. Then Xin Mao led the siege to Kunming Lake, started the warship on the lake, and carried the artillery on the boat The bombardment of the rebels who besieged the Foundry Bureau caused heavy casualties to the rebels, which directly led to the explosion of gunpowder piled up in the warehouse to ashes.

However, the only full-staffed Zuo Tunwei in the entire Guanzhong suddenly launched an attack. He joined the royal army commanded by Li Yuanjing and stormed the Right Tunwei camp with absolute force and tide. Lose and lose.

The power of the artillery was vividly demonstrated in this remonstrance. Its power to open mountains and crack rocks is by no means comparable to human power, and it killed the rebels with fear.

General Guan Long, who was in charge of this army, saw that the Youtun Guards had rolled out all the cannons and laid them out in front of the camp. He was terrified and naturally had many guesses, but how dare he take a gamble?Once the bet is wrong, so many cannons are fired at the same time, and such a small force of my own will be turned into fly ash in an instant...

In desperation, he had no choice but to be on the safe side, leading the army to retreat slowly until he was sure that the artillery of the Right Guards was out of reach, and then stopped, asking for instructions from the city, while guarding against the movements of the Right Guards.After all, the most important task right now is to prevent Fang Jun's army from crossing the Wei River and attacking Chang'an. Anyway, the Youtun guards dare not leave Xuanwu Gate without permission, so there is no need to be embarrassed.

……

In the camp of You Tunwei, the school lieutenant Ashina Daozhen watched the rebel flag retreating slowly in the wind and snow from a distance, and said in admiration: "Ms. Wu is extremely resourceful, and I will admire you in the end!"

Gao Kan led an elite group to meet Fang Jun's army to the west. Naturally, the Youtunwei camp was empty of troops, and most of the artillery was damaged. If the first camp is lost, the rebels will face Xuanwumen directly, and the situation will change drastically.

Ashina Dao is really a person who "passed the back door" into the right guard. Although he was the son of Ashinasheer, a famous general after the Turkic Khan, he lacked meritorious service and prestige in the right guard. Although his official position was only under Gao Kan, But Gao Kan led the troops out, how could he dare to make a decision at a critical moment?
Even if he dared to make a decision, he would have to be convinced by everyone in the army... He could only turn to Princess Gaoyang, who was temporarily in the army.

Strictly speaking, this move is suspected of dumping the pot...

But at such critical times, Princess Gao Yang naturally doesn't care about these things, the problem is how does she know how to arrange troops?Fortunately, Wu Meiniang was a bit more cunning. Although she had never led troops, she had read a few military books in her spare time, and she did have the talent in this area, so she proposed such a strategy of "creating something out of nothing" to put all the scrapped artillery in the They lined up in front of the battalion, betting that the rebels would not dare to charge against the artillery.

Even if the bet was lost, the rebels would still charge regardless. These scrapped artillery could also play the role of rejecting horses and deer villages, blocking the charge of rebel cavalry and gaining more strategic space for the infantry of the Right Guards.

Moreover, there are still more than [-] artillery pieces that have not been scrapped, and there are also some shells. Bombardment at a critical moment will be able to shock the morale of the rebel army and cause great damage...

At this time, I heard Ashina Dao was really flattering, and Wu Meiniang, who was dressed like a man in military uniform, had a serious and calm face, and said crisply: "Although the rebels retreated, they did not withdraw, obviously to monitor our army."

Just after a little thought, he guessed the key point: "Order the scouts in the army to go westward to the vicinity of the Zhongwei Bridge, and mark the artillery to shoot at Zhuyuan. If there are rebels who come to intercept when Lang Jun returns to help, they can be shot at a long distance. Fire the artillery, bombard the enemy array, and help your husband!"

In the army of this era, the influence of the commander is extremely serious. Those commanders who have strong strength and extraordinary personal charm can often turn an imperial army into a private army. The whole army only obeys the orders of one person. .

Since the day of reorganization, Youtunwei has gathered Fang Jun's hard work, and the whole army is imbued with Fang Jun's will and style. Therefore, there is no dissatisfaction in the army.

Could it be that regardless of these identity factors, it is just Wu Meiniang's wisdom and wisdom that has already shocked Ashina Daozhen into a heavenly man, and now he is willing to accept the order.

The scouts were all out, and at the same time, the remaining [-] artillery pieces in the camp quietly moved to the west side of the camp, and under the cover of the army, they pointed their muzzles at the Zhongwei Bridge in the northwest.
