I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 476: Planning and Fighting against Aliens

"Bros."

"This is just the first battle."

"There are still many tough battles to fight next."

"After these foreign tribes are completely wiped out, I will invite you brothers to drink wine and eat meat, and have a good time."

Feeling the military atmosphere that he hadn't felt for a long time, Li Zheng laughed and replied.

"it is good."

"We are waiting for the general's wine and meat."

"For the Tang Dynasty, for the general."

"I must kill fifty more aliens."

"You killed fifty, so I will kill eighty, hahaha."

All the soldiers burst into laughter.

At this time.

Su Dingfang walked up quickly.

"Have the battle losses been counted?" Li Zheng asked Su Dingfang.

"Return to the general."

"This battle."

"Our army did not suffer heavy casualties."

"There were less than two thousand soldiers killed and more than five thousand injured." Su Dingfang said respectfully.

"Have all the wound medicines allocated by the Ministry of War arrived at the army?" Li Zheng asked.

"The Ministry of War has allocated quotas for each army. My bandit-suppressing army is stationed at the border, so we have a larger quota, and the wound medicine is more than enough."

"I have already instructed the military medical battalion to do their best to treat the injured soldiers." Fang said immediately.

“If anyone receives a big reward, they will be sent to the rear prefecture after receiving treatment.

"If the war spreads, just be prepared." Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I understand." Su Dingfang nodded.

"Li Zheng."

"We have obtained the intelligence about the aliens mobilizing their forces."

Li Ke ran over with an excited look on his face, holding a map in his hand.

"Everyone."

"Come all over."

Li Zheng also stood up immediately and took the map from Li Ke.

Then he called on the Bandit-Suppressing Army and the generals of the Youzhou Army to gather together.

The generals formed a circle with Li Zheng as the center.

"We have now obtained accurate intelligence."

"The three Turkic tribes and the Khitan tribe will divide the troops into three routes in total."

"Attack our Youzhou Prefecture in two directions, with the Western Turks and Khitan tribes, attack Jinyang Prefecture in one direction with the Shatuo, and finally attack Hetao City with the Tiele tribe."

"The army that attacked Youzhou today was the vanguard of the Khitan tribe. They suffered a great loss in this battle, and lost many soldiers, but the loss to the Western Turks was not great. In addition, the Khitan tribe is said to have mobilized the entire tribe to seek revenge on you, Li Zheng, with a force of more than 150,000."

"And the Western Turks also mobilized more than 200,000 troops."

“The real tough battle has not yet come.”

"Moreover, the soldiers in Youzhou and Jinyang Prefecture have experienced many wars. I am not too worried. What I am worried about is Hetao City. It is a border area and is heavily guarded. But facing a part of the army, it is still not enough." Li Ke pointed to the map and said seriously.

Li Zheng stared at the map for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "In the second year after I announced the nationalization of land, I started preparing for the invasion of foreign races."

"I have asked the officials of the Ministry of War to deduce the movements and strategies of the foreign tribes many times." "Coincidentally, their current mobilization is one of the ones deduced by the Ministry of War."

Hear the words.

Li Ke, Su Dingfang, and the surrounding generals were all in awe.

They didn't expect that Li Zheng could see so far and saw the chaos caused by alien races a few years ago.

"What should we do next?" Li Ke asked immediately.

"In response to this situation."

"It was deduced when the alien race was in a state of internal unrest and it was impossible to command the troops."

"And the current situation is just as we deduced at the beginning. The three Turkic tribes are already full of contradictions. It is naturally impossible to expect them to completely obey the command of one leader."

"This is also an opportunity for our Tang Dynasty to defeat their army."

"In this weapon simulation, the Ministry of War submitted three methods to meet the enemy. The first one is to use offense as defense. After the foreign race mobilizes, we will immediately mobilize all the troops in the prefectures and regions around the border of the Tang Dynasty to strike hard at the foreign race. However, this method was rejected by me. Although we have intelligence about the foreign race's mobilization, the Tang Dynasty cannot mobilize troops directly. This takes time. If we are not well prepared, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Second, we should use defense as offense. Although the three Turkic tribes have recovered a lot by accumulating their strength over the past few years, they are still far behind the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. With hundreds of thousands of troops on the march, the daily consumption of food and grass is huge. As long as we hold on and drag on, and mobilize heavy troops for defense, otherwise the foreign races will break through the border of the Tang Dynasty. When their food and grass are exhausted, that will be the time for a great victory."

"but."

"This method seems to be feasible, but since the aliens have launched such a large-scale military campaign, they will definitely not withdraw if they cannot succeed. This war will last at least a year and a half. After all, the aliens will also overturn their full strength."

"And the third one is also the strategy I chose."

"Attack while defending."

"Destroy them one by one."

"For example, this Hetao City..." Li Zheng said, his hand falling on the map, "This prefecture has 30,000 prefecture troops in addition to the 50,000 regular border troops. As long as we defend the border walls, even if there are several times more enemies, it will be difficult to break through in a short period of time."

"Hetao City is the most stable border fortress in our Tang Dynasty."

"after."

"I have ordered the Ministry of War to mobilize 50,000 troops from Datong Prefecture and 50,000 troops from Hejian Prefecture to rush to the aid of Hetao City."

"Mobilize another 100,000 troops from the two prefectures surrounding Jinyang Prefecture to rush to Jinyang Prefecture's aid."

"Hetao City, Jinyang Prefecture."

"The two prefectures will defend with all their strength, and the victory will be achieved by our army's victory in Youzhou."

"As long as the alien race breaks through one point, their battle line will collapse."

"When that time comes, it will be time for our Tang Dynasty to reap the rewards." Li Zheng pointed his finger at the map of Youzhou Prefecture.

"One hundred thousand soldiers are not enough to defeat more than 300 thousand foreign soldiers." Li Ke said in a deep voice.

"I have naturally anticipated the issue of military strength. The other two foreign enemies that were the focus of attack still had a lot of troops to defend. As the main attack point, Youzhou Prefecture is naturally the same. Military strength is also the key to victory."

"Therefore, I will dispatch 100,000 troops from Jizhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture to rush to Youzhou for assistance."

"Within a month, this 100,000-man army will be able to reach Youzhou, and all the food and supplies will also arrive."

"During this period of time, as long as our army can defend Qingcheng, it will be the greatest achievement of the war." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Hear the words.

Li Ke, Su Dingfang, and the surrounding generals nodded.

From this point of view.

This strategy is indeed the best.

Although the alien races are not under one command, the battle lines are stretched out and three routes of attack are blocked. This is also a benefit for Ali. The national strength required is too great, and they may also be thinking that the Tang Dynasty will not have such national strength to cope with it.

It is almost impossible to defeat the three armies at the same time, as the force required is too large.

Two defenses and one attack, as long as we break through one point, we can achieve victory.

This is the best way.
