first-class champion

Li Cunxu nodded and said: "That's right. The enemy is strong and we are weak. The Khitan's 50 troops, even if they use human lives to fill up the top, can pile up a Kangzhuang Avenue that goes directly to the city wall of Yanjing. If the prince blindly besieges Yanjing , sooner or later this city will become a prison for the prince, "

Duan Mingyu intertwined his fists and palms, and there was a "slap", and he said through gritted teeth, "Yanjing has to fight, and it will fail. Cunxu, do you have any clever plans?"

Li Cunxu said: "To solve this problem, there is only one way. Yanjing must attack, but the prince cannot use all his strength,"

Duan Mingyu was stunned, thought for a moment, and tentatively said: "Cunxu means to divide the troops into two groups, this..., with the strength in my hands... if we divide the troops again, I'm afraid...,"

Li Cunxu said sternly: "I know how much pressure our army will be under in this way. It will be a bitter battle, an unspeakable war, but...it must be like this. As we all know, the proportion of the consumption of attacking the city is too large. Even if we use all our strength to attack the 50 defenders of Yanjing, we may not be able to attack it. Resist, step back ten thousand steps, even if we take down Yanjing, how many main forces are left, and the remaining [-] Khitan troops are close by, even if we take it, can we hold it? I am afraid it will change hands in a flash."

Li Cunxu clasped his hands and said, "Siege of the city will be very difficult, but the prince must hand over this heavy burden. It is up to people to plan and accomplish things. God, there is no panacea, and there is no perfect plan that only takes advantage and does not suffer."

Duan Mingyu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, slowly raised his head, looked at Li Cunxu, and said: "Then, the troops are divided into two groups, and the king is on the outside, what should be done, what should be done,"

Li Cunxu said: "Eliminate the Khitan reinforcements' peripheral troops as much as possible, cut off his wings, and finally force them to fight, and success will be achieved in one battle."

"Clipped the wings,"

Duan Mingyu's eyes flickered, he vaguely understood something, and asked: "Cutting off the wings... Could it be Yandi Han general?"

"Yes, although the Khitan reinforcements have 50 people, among them there are 10,000+ Han troops. The prince can start from the Han army. Once the Han army can't bear the casualties, then their hearts will not be all in the Khitan. It's over, but if you want to make it pay enough casualties, the prince will have to spend more time, "

"This is not a problem, I will let them know about a certain family's methods," Duan Mingyu said decisively after a moment of contemplation.

Seeing that Duan Mingyu understood, Li Cunxu couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "Yes, although the Khitan army of 50 is strong, they will be greatly reduced in this way, but the prince must not be careless at that time. It was very cold, so I didn’t know whether I had too much confidence when I sent troops. I thought Yanjing could be taken overnight, or I lacked the experience of fighting in the northern winter, and I didn’t bring too many winter clothes. Peng, once the ice and snow land and the cold wind bites, the combat power will be greatly reduced. The 30 army is indeed terrifying in war, but this huge monster is fed by horses and feeds. How much supply is needed? Our battle line is long, and the northern geography, Khitan The soldiers and horses are far more familiar than us, as long as we send troops to cut off our supply and transportation lines, we will have neither food nor clothing to keep out the cold, and we will be defeated without a fight, so the prince has to take the initiative to attack."

Duan Mingyu nodded again and again: "After several months of rectification, we have preliminarily grasped the cities and cities that we have won. If the Khitan people do not want to fight me decisively, then this king can adopt other tactics. The enemy advances and we retreat. , the enemy is stationed and we are disturbing, the enemy is tired and we are attacking, the enemy is retreating and we are chasing, using guerrilla tactics to wear down the enemy, striding forward and retreating, luring the enemy to go deep, concentrating our forces, breaking down one by one, and destroying the enemy in mobile warfare. In this way, Yelude As soon as Guang has suffered, he will definitely take the initiative to fight with me, and the third step will be a formal duel, and the final decisive battle will only be won, not defeated, "

This tactic was not invented by that great man, but it was systematically sorted out by Duan Mingyu, carrying forward the essence of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare in ancient and modern times. This tactic is just right for Duan Mingyu's current situation.

The Li family has been in Hedong for generations, and the Khitan people are also long-term professors. Whenever Li Cunxu conquered Mobei, his military strength has never been in such a tight situation. Therefore, in his usual fighting thinking, it is difficult to jump out of the years of formation. The confinement of combat experience, but his opponents, those Mobei tribes are masters of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Although the Hedong Army has won many times, it is difficult to wipe out these enemies. At this moment, we have to change places, and then understand these strategies and tactics. In fact, it is easier to understand than ordinary people.

So Li Cunxu only closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and he had already comprehended the essence of mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. To put it bluntly, although Duan Mingyu told him the essence of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, his understanding was far superior to Duan Mingyu's. He couldn't help laughing loudly: "My lord is resourceful and resourceful, and he is actually a minister of the country. With this good strategy, the 50 Khitan army will not be afraid."

The strategy has been decided, Xu Jing's 8 soldiers and Fang Wenzhong's [-] soldiers from the San Francisco are stationed under Yanjing City, but they will not attack the city. It was because he was going to make a nest and not leave, which made Yelufeng who was defending the city very confused. However, since Xu Jing did not come to attack, Yelufeng would not rush out of the city to attack. , then his crimes will be unleashed, so the [-] horses actually restrained the [-] defenders in the city.

But Duan Mingyu personally led an army of 10,000+ troops, and went straight to the outer Qixian County. Two 10,000+ people were stationed in a small county town, facing off against the 50 Khitan reinforcements on the opposite side. Yelu Deguang learned that Duan Mingyu personally led When the army rescued Qi County, they couldn't help being ecstatic. They looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Duan Mingyu is so stupid that he even went out to save Qi County. Doesn't he know that Yanjing City in Youzhou is the place he must win? Youzhou can't be defeated. Even if he took root in a certain family in the county town for a year, he would be happy to hear about it, hahaha..."

The third prince, Yelu Lihu, was also overjoyed, and hurried out of the class, cupped his fists and saluted, "Second brother, Zhao Wang Duan Mingyu's entire division is going to aid Qi County. This opportunity is extremely rare. The general thought that the emperor should immediately send a group of people to go around Qi County, block Duan Mingyu's way back to the teacher, and the emperor will lead the army to Youzhou. If you can wipe out the people who besieged Youzhou and win the first battle, that would be the best. If not, you can also let Duan Mingyu lead a group of remnants Cruising outside like a lonely ghost, unable to return home, "
