Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 577

"However, the opponent has 8 horses. Even if all our troops go to ambush, there are only half of the opponent. What should we do?" Feng Changqing asked with a frown.

"Brother Lu, from what you can see, the mouth of this gourd can hold 8 horses?" Li Canghai asked after pondering.

Lu Jitong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It probably won't fit, at most, it can only hold about [-]."

Li Canghai rubbed the center of his brows, then stared at the map at the mouth of the gourd, rolled his eyes, and soon had an idea.

"Since we can't wipe them all out at once, let's divide them up and wipe them out!" Li Canghai squinted his eyes, and then ordered: "General Gao, you bring 1 horses and lie in ambush on both sides of the Big Melon Valley in Calabash Valley. Rolling logs and boulders, when the fire starts at the entrance of Silla, attack the Baekje army entering the valley!"

Although Gao Xianzhi didn't know what his plans were, but he had no doubts about what Li Canghai said, so he clasped his fists and said seriously: "The last general takes orders!"

"General Su, this commander will give you 1 troops to guard both sides of the Cucurbit Valley and the Xiaogua Valley. Prepare extra oil barrels, bows and arrows. After General Gao launches an offensive, immediately cover the Xiaogua Valley with rockets."

"The last general takes orders!" Su Hai said solemnly.

"General Feng, you lead 1 people to the territory of Silla first, prepare more fire starters, and lie in ambush at the entrance of the Gourd Valley. When the Baekje army enters the valley halfway, set fire immediately. After setting fire, immediately go to support Gao General, strive to annihilate the Baekje army entering the valley as quickly as possible!" Li Canghai ordered.

"The last general takes orders!" Feng Changqing clasped his fists and said in a loud voice.

"It's not too late, the three generals should hurry up and get ready!" Li Canghai said.

After the three of them bowed their hands to Li Canghai and saluted, they left the camp one after another.

"Cang Hai, what about us?" Di Qing asked.

Li Canghai waved his feather fan and said calmly, "We are naturally in charge of the Chinese army."

Di Qing looked at the confident Li Canghai, and suddenly became suspicious: "Canghai, is your arrangement really useful? There are 8 people in Baekje! But you only sent 3 people, how are you going to fight this battle?" ?”

"Qing'er, have you forgotten what I said before that we want to divide and annihilate them?" Li Canghai shook his feather fan slightly, and said with a slight smile, "The entrance to the Gourd Valley is in Silla. According to Brother Lu's investigation, the entrance is It is a dead wood forest, which is extremely flammable. Once it is lit, it will turn into a sea of ​​flames. In this way, half of the [-] army will be blocked by the sea of ​​flames. At this time, the sound of killing in the valley will sound, and the enemy's army will definitely be in chaos. If the army's morale is in turmoil, the combat power will be greatly weakened, and [-] soldiers and horses are nothing to fear. Besides, the opponent heard that Baekje City was captured, traveled thousands of miles from Silla, and experienced repeated battles in Silla. It must be extremely exhausted, but our army is waiting for work with leisure, and the chance of winning is at least [-]%."

After listening to Li Canghai's analysis, Lu Jitong was amazed and said with admiration, "The marshal is so clever, it's as if Kong Ming is still alive! The king of Baekje is actually an enemy of the marshal, but he really doesn't even know how to write death!"

Di Qing stared at Li Canghai, and after a while, she looked leisurely and said, "Canghai, when did you learn to fight? I don't think you will be called Li Canghai in the future, but Li Zhuge." It is more suitable for you."

Li Canghai looked at the feigned feather fan in his hand, and said with a calm smile: "Qing'er, do you still remember that I brought out a book of war in the underground palace?"

"Remember, that book of war is still kept at home! Hey, do you mean that all you know is learned from that book of war? What kind of book of war is that?" Di Qing blinked her eyes. , asked in surprise.

Li Canghai's eyes were filled with amazement, and his voice was full of respect: "That is the art of war written by Li Weigong, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Wei Guogong Li Jing?" Lu Jitong asked in surprise.

Li Canghai nodded and said, "That's right, it's Li Jing. Wei Guogong studied heaven and man, and was proficient in the art of war. He recorded everything he had learned in his life, and was collected by Emperor Taizong as the most precious treasure in the palace of the underworld. This commander is very lucky." I got the military book and learned some fur."

"No wonder you always look like you have a well-thought-out plan!" Di Qing said suddenly.

Li Canghai shook his feather fan, and pondered: "If my guess is correct, the main force of Baekje will arrive at Gourd Valley before sunrise tomorrow, and there will be a big battle at that time. You should go to rest first and recharge your batteries. , prepare for tomorrow's battle!"

Lu Jitong and Fujiwara Kyoko nodded, saluted Li Canghai solemnly, and then returned to their respective tents to rest.

The next day, at around [-]:[-], the Baekje army really came to Calabash Valley.

"General, Gourd Valley is ahead!" A scout among the Baekje army said to Baekje General Pei Yongsheng.

Pei Yongsheng was dressed in military uniform, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his face sculpted by wind and frost was full of cruelty.

"Tang army dares to take advantage of the fire to loot and occupy my city. A mere 4 people want to annex my Baekje? It's beyond self-control! Send an order to let all the soldiers pass through the gourd valley as quickly as possible! This general wants to take advantage of the Tang army's failure to stand firm. At the heel, give them a fatal blow!" Pei Yongsheng waved his hand and said coldly.

After the scout received the order, he immediately went to convey it to the whole army.

This time, Baekje and Dongying's coalition forces sent a total of more than [-] troops. However, when fighting with the Silla army, Dongying always let Baekje charge forward.

Although Baekje was not happy, but he had to take advantage of the power of Dongying, so he had to play the role of a forward in every battle, but Silla's desperate resistance caused Baekje a headache.

In just half a month, more than [-] people were killed or injured in Baekje, but there were not too many casualties in Dongying, which almost drove Pei Yongsheng crazy.

This time he received the news that Baekje was captured by the Tang army. Although he was shocked, it just gave him an excuse to pull the Baekje army away from the front line, so as not to become cannon fodder for Japan.

Although Baekje has allied forces with Dongying, each has its own small calculations.

Baekje is not as ambitious as Dongying to stare at the Kyushu of the Central Plains. For Baekje, occupying the Korean Peninsula is enough.

Only because Silla had Datang as its backer, Baekje never dared to act rashly. It was not until Dongying attempted to attack Datang through North Korea that Baekje seized the opportunity.

Although Baekje cooperates with Dongying, it does not trust Dongying.

As the saying goes: "If you seek skin from a tiger, you will be injured if you don't die." Since Dongying has the ambition to annex Datang, it is inevitable that it did not have the idea of ​​attacking Baekje behind its back.

If the Baekje army and Silla fight to the death, both sides will surely suffer heavy casualties, and Dongying will be able to easily occupy the Korean Peninsula at that time, that is to make wedding dresses for others, and there is no place to cry.
