Da Wei Chun

Chapter 508 New hatred and old hatred
All the generals looked solemn, and the surprise brought by seeing the new stone cannon during the day was gone.

No matter how powerful the stone cannon is, it can only be used to attack the city, but now the enemy army, which is like falling from the sky, is Hu Qi, how can it be resisted?

Li Chengzhi said that Tianlei is absolutely invincible in field battles.But when there is a problem, how much can you produce in a hurry?

And this is only second, the key point is: once the first emperor died, it seemed that Wei had become a crumbling wall in the blink of an eye, and everyone wanted to come up and push it.

That's all, there are still a lot of mice hiding under the wall, and they will bite the foundation when they see the right time, for fear that it will not fall fast enough.

This is what the generals are most worried about: Even if the Great Wei is powerful, it cannot stand enemies on all sides.A lot of ants can kill an elephant, and Nanliang and Tuyuhun are only slightly weaker than Yuan Wei. If we can really join forces, and the internal instability is not stable, the Great Wei will be in danger...

Li Chengzhi was very calm, showing a calm situation: "Everyone, don't panic. It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block, water coming and soil flooding. Now we have a strong army of [-] before, and the imperial court will help us later. There are all kinds of sharp weapons, even if you really attack from both sides, you will have the power to fight, so why be afraid of them?"

Everyone agrees one by one, but the response is sparse, without even a shred of determination.

Li Chengzhi's face turned cold, and he simply didn't bother to say any more reassuring words: "As the saying goes, you will be the bravest of soldiers, so don't think that Li will speak ugly words first: If anyone dares to deceive the people with false words and shake the morale of the army, don't blame Li's sword. Recognize military law but not people... let's go!"

All the generals were startled, they didn't even dare to shout, and got up to leave at the same time.

Only Li Shao and Yang Jun were left behind, but both of them were a little confused.

Just like that?
Now that the enemy is at hand and the situation is critical, no matter what, it is time to agree on a charter.For example, how to fight the current battle, or how to defend it.At worst, as the commander-in-chief, you should also say a few words about winning, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.

But when Li Chengzhi opened his mouth, it was military law?

Military law is not a panacea, it depends on where it is used.It's better not to use it...

Li Chengzhi sighed earnestly: "The army's heart cannot be stabilized by saying a few words of comfort. It's better to win a game as soon as possible. Besides, no matter how to negotiate, I have to wait for the final decision, so Why bother?"

Li Shao's eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Chengzhi's words sounded arbitrary at first glance, but if he thought about it deeply, it might not be that he was full of confidence, made a decision long ago, and had a plan in mind.

It was said that Li Shao, the Zuo Dudu, and Yang Jun, the Zuo Sima, were needed to discuss with him, but it was just polite.

"Win a game as soon as possible... how to win?"

"Simple: attack one point, not the rest!"

Li Chengzhi replied lightly, "What the generals are worried about is that the rebels are already colluding with Nanliang and Tuyuhun, or that Rouran will be added. But as I said just now, we now have an army of [-] , Are they all muddy people?

Instead of holding your head and being beaten, it is better to go forward bravely and concentrate on attacking one side with all your strength.Nine out of ten those who bear the brunt will avoid the edge.If I continue to sink the ship with a broken pot and press hard with a desperate attitude, those who are the first enemy will surely retreat and retreat again.The enemy's alliance is naturally self-defeating..."

Hearing what Li Chengzhi said, Yang Jun didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

You thought it was childish children fighting each other, how could fighting be such a trifle?

No matter how stupid you are, you also know the truth that if you attack one side, the other side will never sit idly by, and will definitely follow and attack.It's not out of the question.

Besides, it doesn't have to be just Nanliang and Tuyuhun.The southern invasion of Du Lun's tribe is a clear proof: Yuan Huai and others have long been in collusion with Rouran, probably earlier than these two parties.

Yang Jun frowned and said: "Although the reasoning is so, it should be guided according to the situation and local conditions. If Rouran goes north, it will not be encircled, how will you deal with it?"

At that time, it will be a situation where you will be beaten from three sides. If you kill one family, the other two will definitely beat you to death.

Go south softly?

Li Chengzhi's eyes flickered slightly.

How did he go south?

No matter how slow the imperial court's response was, it has been nearly a month since the Woye Rebellion.
I am afraid that the ambassador sent to Gaoche has already set off on the road, and it may even be the case when he arrives in Gaoche.What if Rouran Khan just dispatched an army on the front foot, and ran to steal the camp with a high cart on the back foot?
So even if Rouran sends troops, it will never be too many.

This is one of them.

The second is that there is Li Chenghong in Xihai in the west, and Huangfurang in Daqi in the east. If you go south, you must solve these two places first, otherwise you may be shut down and beaten.

Even if there are no soldiers left in the West Sea, they are all militiamen and civilian husbands, but with firearms in hand, even half-grown children can kill the enemy.Guaranteed that Rouran can't get out of the Hexi, can't climb the Yin Mountain, and his teeth will be broken first.

Take another step back: the desert is two thousand miles away from Guanzhong, can Rouran fly over with wings?
Let's not mention whether they can fight or not, there are really a large number of Hu Qi going south, Li Chenghong and Huangfu Rang at least know the urgent report of the dispatch.At that time, will the court sit idly by?

This is a national war, and Li Chengzhi is not alone?
"Don't hesitate!"

Li Chengzhi made a final decision: "I will let you know later, and order the remaining two battalions in Jingzhou and the third battalion of Huqi to pack up overnight, and follow me westward after dawn. The two camps and the southern line will be handed over to the two for the time being. That's it..."

After a short pause, Li Chengzhi said again, "Even if the Southern Army is protruding from the Qinling Mountains, Uncle Shi should not panic. If Yuan Li and the Southern Army are pressing hard, Uncle Shi can retreat back to Siyin County and stick to it. Wait until I beat Tuyuhun After you free your hand, let him know the lesson..."

Li Shao and Yang Jun looked at each other.

No wonder you summoned the generals, neither agreed on a strategy, nor stabilized the morale of the army, but only emphasized the sentence "Recognize the law but not the people" and then dismissed them all?
It turned out that he had already decided to go his own way, and he just wanted to make a beating before leaving, so that the East Front could be more peaceful.

Li Shao hesitated and said: "Why don't you wait a few more days, when the situation becomes clearer, if the ranger you sent to Baoxie Road to explore the south sent a letter yesterday, it won't be too late to make a decision after knowing the movement of the Southern Army! "

Yang Jun also nodded repeatedly.

In fact, both of them have guesses in their hearts: the reason why Li Chengzhi is so calm and confident is because of Tianlei's support.

Regardless of Du Lun's tribe, there are tens of thousands of pawns in the family who control the strings, and they have the strength of Manchester City, but it will only take ten days to be destroyed by them.

No matter how fine cavalry Tuyuhun dispatched, compared with them, they were not strong enough.

The problem is, according to what Li Chengzhi said, there are still five or six days before the rush-made firearms can be delivered.Then why is he in such a hurry, not waiting for two more days?

But how could these two think that Li Chengzhi even lied to them.It was said that it was five or six days, but in fact Li Chengxue had already arrived in Jingzhou, and he would arrive at Qizhou Daying in two days at most.

"You and I can wait, but the strong enemy can't wait."

Li Chengzhi shook his head suddenly and said, "The situation is changing rapidly, it is better to deal with it early. If we really have to wait for the Southern Army to leave the customs, that is the real two ends of the first mouse, so it is better to make a decision early.

The departure is about to start at dawn, so I will first explain a thing or two to the man in Yuan County.Report to the court about troublesome Uncle Shi and Sima to write a letter.For the military affairs on the Eastern Front, please leave it to the two of you..."

After saying that, Li Chengzhi got up and bowed deeply to Li Shao and Yang Jun.The two returned the salute in a hurry, and when they straightened up, Li Chengzhi had already paid the bill.

Such a big event, just settled down like this, is it like a child's play?
Yang Jun felt that it was ridiculous, and stared at the slightly shaking curtain, dazed.

"Just let him do this? Even if you don't dare to speak out, you should persuade him. How can you be so arbitrary?"

Li Shao showed a rare sneer, and pointed out: "He is still in the camp, why can't he be found? Why don't you go and talk to him?"

Yang Jun's old face suddenly turned red, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with a rag, making it uncomfortable.

It is true that he was slapped in the face by Li Chengzhi too many times, which gave him a psychological shadow.

"What about tomorrow? After he leaves, how should we deal with it, and don't even give us an explanation?"

Li Shao said helplessly: "You led the army on the first day? He has said it so clearly, how else should he explain it to you?"

When Li Chengzhi said "retreat to Siyin County, it's okay to stick to the city", Li Shao knew that the duty of the East Route Army was just one word: defend.

The subconscious meaning is: Even if Liang Jun suddenly turned out of the Qinling Mountains, his soldiers pointed at Guanzhong.But as long as the Eastern Front is not broken, he will never return to aid.

As he said before: attack one point, not as good as the rest.

If Tuyuhun is not defeated, Li Chengzhi will definitely not turn back.

Li Shao was a little suspicious: Why did Li Chengzhi act like a cat whose fur had exploded when he heard that Tuyuhun sent troops?
Just because a year ago, he almost lost his life outside Wuwei City?

But Murong Ding had already been killed, and his great revenge had already been avenged, so how could he have such great resentment?

It couldn't be for the hundreds of Li's retainers who died in that battle, right?
I remember that there was a rumor that when Li Chengzhi paid homage to his retainers under the side wall outside Wuwei City, he swore to heaven that he would destroy Tuyuhun in his life to avenge this.

Thinking of this, Li Shao laughed again.

Even if Li Chengzhi is jealous of evil, he must take revenge, he would not be so childish: only a hundred retainers...

Today is not what it used to be, Li Chengzhi would not be so impulsive, let alone such a joke.

But the annoyance is real too.

Didn't he never think that Tuyuhun would come to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that Tuyuhun would come to be the leader again like last year during the war in Jingzhan?

It feels like this Tuyuhun is going on endlessly. I suffered such a big loss during the Battle of Jingzhou, but I don't have a long memory at all.Seeing an advantage to take advantage of, he pounced on him like a wolf, more active than anyone else?
It still doesn't seem to hurt enough.

Li Chengzhi summoned Yuan Zhi and told him to organize the army overnight and set off at dawn.He also called Daxi and asked him to give Li Shao's account first to listen to orders, and wait for Zhang Xinyi to return, depending on the situation.

After that, he ordered Li Rui and Li Cong to stay outside the tent, leaving only Li Liang and Li Song.

"How much gunpowder is left in the artillery camp?"

Li Song said without hesitation: "Thunder cans and thunder bags have a total of [-] pieces left, and there are more than [-] catties of powdered medicine..."

Twelve medicine packs are equivalent to nothing, at most it's just a sound.

Bulk gunpowder sounds like a lot, but this kind of formula is slightly different. It is usually used to set fire or set off fireworks as a messenger, and it has little effect.

"Where's the rocket?"

"When the troops were dispatched, they brought a full 1, nearly [-]% of which were consumed in the first battle in Woye, and there are more than [-] left!"

"Give it all to Li Liang, and distribute it to the two battalions in Jingzhou. Then pass on an order and learn from him, order him to go straight to Bailitan, and I will wait for him in Xiying."

Li Song and Li Liang were full of doubts: only three days after arriving in Daying, why did your husband suddenly go to West Camp again?

Li Chengzhi laughed grimly: "Tuyuhun is here. According to Diao Zheng's estimation, there are tens of thousands of elite riders who have arrived in the three counties of Qingshui. It is not yet known how many will follow up, but there are definitely not a few."

Tuyuhun, Jingqi tens of thousands?
Not only did the uncle and nephew not panic at all, but they took it for granted.

With the lessons learned from the Rouran Dulun Department, it is not surprising that there is one more Tuyuhun.

Relatively speaking, in their opinion, Tuyuhun is easier to deal with.

Because most of the southern army and the rebel army are infantry, they can make the best use of geographical factors.Even if there is no city to defend, it can still be defended according to mountains, forests, and rivers.At worst, you can dig trenches and tire walls, and put old cars in formation.Therefore, the battle between the artillery battalion and the infantry is relatively inferior to that of the cavalry, which is conducive to the display of firearms.

And a fight is a protracted battle, and there are many factors that affect victory or defeat.

The reason why cavalry is easy to fight is nothing more than "horses".

People are easy to handle, and when their brains get hot or they grit their teeth, they might dare to work hard.But horses rely on instinct.

War horses without special training are rarely surprised when they hear explosions or see flames.Therefore, as long as the cavalry enters the range of the firearms, there will be no second result except defeat.

This is the experience that Li Song has summed up after many battles with the Zahu tribes in Hexi this year, and it has been verified in the battle with the Dulun tribe.

So the uncle and nephew were not surprised at all, why when he heard that tens of thousands of elite riders from Tuyuhun appeared on the western front, not only did he not panic, but he was so anxious to fight.

Because the odds of winning are in your hands...

The two responded repeatedly, and when they were about to leave, Li Song came up with another plan: "Your Majesty: This time Sanlang escorted the firearms to the north, and he brought at most three or four thousand trained horses, which is enough for the three battalions of Jingzhou to transfer. Therefore Do you want to train the horse that the tiger rides on urgently, in case it is needed?"

Li Song didn't talk about it, but Li Chengzhi still couldn't remember: they were all untrained horses, the enemy's would be startled, and his own would naturally be too.

And this trip is not just to let Tuyuhun be defeated, of course, it is to kill its main force as much as possible, so that Fu Lianchou, who wants to take advantage of any advantage, and wants to take advantage of any loopholes, will feel sorry for him once.Therefore, there must be a joint battle between the artillery battalion, the bow battalion and the cavalry.

And it's impossible for Li Chengzhi to let the human-shaped tanks like Huqi go to waste, otherwise, when he heard Tuyuhun, the first thing he thought of was Baijia's old department, and the second thing he thought of was Huqi.

"You forgot if you didn't mention me? Li Rui, hurry up and send an order to Yuan Zhi, and see me in the tent after the army is reorganized... Oh yes, by the way, let father know about the dispatch of troops tomorrow..."

Li Song and Li Liang had weird faces.

Not to mention Li Chengzhi, even the two of them didn't think of Li Shixian for a while, as if they were invisible.

I don't know if the Patriarch will be so angry that he wants to vomit blood after learning about this situation?
