Emperor Sui Yang

Gao Shida was approaching Changle quickly, and Xuanting had to intercept him. He had 1 men in his unit, [-] of whom were cavalry.

Or armored cavalry.

The cavalry is suitable for charging into the formation. The [-]-strong army is divided into more than a dozen groups and covers Changle like a big net. It is completely impossible for Xuanting to intercept it.

A march of 10 people will never take only one road, because the destination is one. In order for the army to reach its destination as quickly as possible, it must be broken into parts and approach from all directions.

How to stop Xuanting?I can block one and two roads, but I can't stop three and four roads.

Gao Shida's main force must be in the innermost position, and Xuanting has almost no chance of breaking through the outer perimeter and attacking Huanglong.

"With such a large army, the food and grass logistics are absolutely heavy. If it can be burned, half the work is accomplished." At the foot of an unknown mountain, Xuanting's army is stationed here. They have been away from Zaoqiang County for two days and have been looking for a suitable blocking point. .

The place we are currently in is in the hinterland of mountains. There is a road leading directly to Changle. There will definitely be rebels passing by here.

After hearing Xu Shiji's statement, Xuanting said: "We don't know where the baggage of more than [-] people is. Even if we know, we won't be able to get through."

"If the general gives the humble post a thousand light cavalry, ten days' rations for soldiers and horses, and enough fuel, the humble post will be willing to go deep into the enemy's heart and take the risk," Xu Shiji said.

Yang Xuanting said with admiration: "You are indeed very courageous. This job is life-threatening. It is a situation where there is no chance of life."

Xu Shiji said: "Gucheng County Duke (Tu Wanxu) is attacking Changle day and night, Zhang Xutuo and Cui Shishu are attacking Changlu and Jingcheng. At this time, if Gao Shida is allowed to stand firm, the battle for Xindu will be protracted. Once When the Ge thieves arrive, I will be in an adversity. If I can destroy their food and grass, it will greatly damage their morale. I have to fight quickly or retreat quickly. Gao Shida will never dare to choose a quick war before the Ge thieves arrive."

Yang Xuanting pondered for a moment and nodded: "Since you are willing to ask for a fight, I will allow you. If you can survive, I will go to the court to ask for merit for you."

The next step was to allocate troops and horses for Xu Shiji.

A thousand cavalry must be light cavalry. If they wear armor, they have no mobility and are extremely easy to be surrounded and chased. Their cavalry does not go to kill the enemy, but to set fire to it. If they don't find the rebels' food and fodder, they will definitely not Engage.

There are 10 rebels coming. Only the generals know about it, not the ordinary soldiers. If you know about it, you won't dare to go. The ignorant are fearless.

The 1000 people Xuanting selected for Xu Shiji were all strong and healthy people. They were meandering east of the river, lightly dressed and simple, carrying ten days' rations, fine materials for war horses, and enough kerosene.

In terms of weapons, only the horse-steeds and short crossbows were left, and the rest were discarded. They didn't even have soft armor, so they were completely light cavalry.

This is a death squad.

Xu Shiji also mixed up step by step in history. Although after entering the Tang Dynasty, he basically presided over large-scale corps operations, but when he was in Wagang, he also slowly mixed up from the bottom.

A young general like him who came from a commoner background would not be able to get there unless he risked his life. Even someone with a background like Xuan Zong and Xuanting had to risk his life, so he had to risk his life ten times.

At night, a thousand Qingqi left the station and headed north. They would search for the location of the food, grass and baggage among more than a dozen rebels and 10 people. If they could successfully burn it down, they would have done a great job.

After all, it takes time for Geqian to go south. It takes time for you to go to the village and ask your uncle to come to your house for dinner. It takes even more time for 15 people to come south from Hejian County to Xindu.

Gao Shida was still smart. All the refined weapons captured after defeating Xuan Zong were left to Xie Leng and Liu Heitai. He knew very well that if these two places could not hold him back, he would be attacked from both sides and his life would hang on a thread. .

Zhang Xutuo's desperate attack was completely cost-effective. As long as he could break the city, even if he only had a few thousand men left, it would be considered a decisive victory.

Cui Shishu, on the other hand, played very well. An army of 3000 Cui family disciples kept attacking the city. After losing more than [-] people, they withdrew the camp and pretended to pursue Gao Shida westward.

In fact, it was just a gesture: I can't defeat Jingcheng, so if I don't fight, I will go after Gao Shida.

Can Liu Heitai let him go?Absolutely not. His mission was to stop Zhang Xutuo and Cui Shishu, so as soon as Cui Shishu started to retreat, he sent his general Pang Kun to lead an army of [-] to pursue them with their tails hanging.

After Cui Shishu learned that the pursuers were coming, he accelerated his march and killed a carbine outside a valley. At the same time, Yang Yuanqing's troops who were waiting here suddenly came out and wiped out all the rebels.

Afterwards, Cui Shishu returned to Jingcheng and continued to preside over the siege, while Yang Yuanqing went west to pursue Gao Shida.

Liu Heita had a total of 2 people. They had just fought, and 1 people were gone. Therefore, Yang Yuanqing was sure that the opponent would never dare to leave the city again, so he could let Cui Shishu drag the opponent and move westward without worries.

In the direction of Zhaojun, Dou Jiande did not occupy the city to resist the official army. He was fighting guerrillas.

He knew that he was facing Li Jing, so he divided the rebels under his command into six groups, harassed and attacked them in various ways, and ran away after a while, resting for a while and then harassing them again. This was not a blind blockade.

This method is actually smart. It will give the opponent the illusion that the enemy has no courage to engage in battle and I can force his way through.

But when you really want to break through with all your strength, they will gather together and attack you mainly, which will make you tired of dealing with it, whether you fight or leave.

Guerrilla warfare is the most difficult to fight because everyone has different strategic goals. Li Jing urgently needs to go east from Zhao County and enter Xindu, while Dou Jiande is harassed and delayed in various ways, which is very annoying.

"There is news from the front that Geqian is going south. Our troops cannot advance quickly, and the situation in Xindu will be passive," Zhang Dinghe said: "Now that the march is disturbed, it is difficult to advance quickly. If we build a base to fight, the enemy will again If you refuse to fight, what should you do?"

After that, Zhang Dinghe said to the flag officer next to him: "Give me my exact words to Manager Li immediately." The 4000 people under his command were the vanguard and were responsible for opening the way.

After entering Zhao County in the early stage, he found that the county seat was empty and there were no rebels. At that time, Li Jing knew that something was wrong, so he sent Zhang Dinghe to march to Litao County in the northeast as a test.

In this trial, there were thirteen harassments, and Zhang Dinghe was almost bored to death.

You attacked me sneakily, and I formed a formation to meet the enemy. If you didn't come, I continued to march, and here you come again.

He has actually detected that there are definitely a lot of enemy troops, and they can actually eat his army of 4000 people, but they just won't eat it.

This is basically certain that the other party does not intend to fight decisively, and the purpose is just to delay.

Li Jing and Chen Junbin were together. In fact, Chen Junbin, the prefect of Wu'an, did not have many troops, only 2000 men. Adding Li Jing's 1 troops, that was [-].

Against Dou Jiande, he had no advantage in military strength, and the advantage in combat effectiveness could not be brought into play because he was engaged in guerrilla warfare.

Li Jing, who received Zhang Dinghe's report, smiled and said: "It seems that Gao Shida will arrive in Changle soon. Dou Jiande is providing Gao Shida with the opportunity to eat Tu Wanxu. To be precise, Ge Qian and Gao Shida After joining forces, eat Tuwanxu."

"Then we need to speed up the march. Manager Li's main force is the elite cavalry, and the enemy rebels cannot catch up," Chen Junbin suggested.

When Li Jing first crossed the river, he gave all his war horses to Huangfu Wuyi, but after Li Yangcang destroyed Wagang, the war horses all came back, and the lost soldiers were replaced by 500 from the rebels.

They were originally rebels, but they suddenly became the East Palace Guards. This group of people is the most valuable to surrender.

On the other hand, Dou Jiande, 2 cavalry with [-] horses is not bad. They are all rebels from refugee backgrounds. If you give him a horse, he will not ride it.

Li Jing shook his head: "Dou Jiande will not let us pass comfortably. After we pass, he will frequently harass us from behind. Isn't he a guerrilla? Let's divide our troops. You will lead the troops to find the mountain road and march eastward. Pei Xingyan will lead the two troops." Thousands of cavalry will pass through Zhang Ding and Shiqiao Township in the south, and Han Xiaoji will pass through Zhang Ding and north. You will spread out in four directions and be responsible for attracting them, while I will lead the troops north."

"Going north? Why do you want to go north?" Han Shi'e asked in surprise.

Li Jing said calmly: "Don't ask, just follow me."

He was going to intercept Ge Qian.

Gao Shida alone can never defeat Tu Wanxu, but adding Ge Qian is different. So Li Jing calls it repaying the other with his own way. Aren't you delaying my support to Tu Wanxu?Then I will delay Ge Qian to support Gao Shida.

If Li Jing goes north, he needs to cross the Nishui River. The area around the Nishui River is a flat plain. If you harass the cavalry with infantry here, you are seeking death.

So Li Jing walked north. Dou Jiande knew what he wanted to do, but he couldn't stop him. Two legs were in the plain, how could he stop four legs?

Unlike Zhang Dinghe's side, there were all twists and turns. The cavalry could not run, so they were taken by Dou Jiande.

So since the main strategy of Zhang Dinghe and others is to attract, and the secondary strategy is to advance eastward, then Pei Xingyan's cavalry has been given a new task.

fight as a guerrilla.

Hey~~~I'm not going east. I'm running around looking for your small force to attack.

This sneak attack is not just a hit and run. Once you are targeted by Pei Xingyan, you will have to be killed, because his mission is to walk around and kill you casually.

Dou Jiande was completely panicked. One of the main forces of the imperial court went straight to Lishui, and the rest heading east dispersed into several groups, including a shit stirrer running around.

This situation was beyond his ability, and the little art of war he had learned after the rebellion was no longer of use.

The one heading north cannot be stopped at all. The heavy armored cavalry are all in the plains, so the only way to deal with them is the one heading east.

So he broke into pieces and divided his troops into three groups, hoping to seek a decisive battle with superior strength.

The three main generals are him, Sun Anzu, and his adopted son Dou Facai.

Among them, Dou Jiande personally dealt with Zhang Dinghe.

Dou Jiande in history was a politician. If he dominated Hebei and conquered famous men and powerful generals, he would definitely be considered a number one figure, because he knew people well and had the ability to control his subordinates and his charisma. But if he himself was a As for the general, that's almost meaningless.

And Zhang Dinghe is a famous general, but of course he is not too powerful. There are so many famous generals in the Sui Dynasty that he cannot be distinguished.

Therefore, the relationship between Zhang Dinghe and Dou Jiande can be regarded as a level dialogue.

Winning or losing is [-]/[-].
