Chapter 650 A rough man in the army, military strategy
Chapter 650
Wang Cong gaped at the Youzhou manager Luo Yi who wore a helmet and armor and had a majestic appearance. Was his warning too subtle?
"Although the Chief Manager is just a group of rabble, there are tens of thousands of them, and they are commanded by the generals of the Suppressing and Fu Army. If we are not careful, if we are entangled here by them, over time, we may lose the opportunity to defend the Tang Dynasty with my lord.
fighter jets..."
"You, Minister Wang, I must say something inappropriate. With your words, you have really underestimated me, Youzhou." Luo Yi nodded at Wang Congxu with his finger, stroked his thick beard and laughed.
He looked so confident and so calm.
Wang Cong was completely stunned. What do you mean? Manager Luo, did I say anything that meant I was looking down on you or the Youzhou Army?
Luo Yi did not answer. Instead, a Youzhou Army general next to him laughed and said in a serious and thoughtful manner.
"It's normal that Wang Shilang doesn't know this. We, the Youzhou Army, are by no means just a ragtag group of powerful people. We are elite troops who have served the court for many years. Not to mention rogue bandits, we are just long-term soldiers."
It is difficult for any of our trained soldiers and horses to compete with our Youzhou Army."
"Could it be that Wang Shilang doesn't believe it? Haha, Wang Shilang seems not to know that the last general used to be General Zhang Xutuo's deputy. Even if the combat power of the Youzhou Army is slightly inferior to General Zhang's troops, it is not far behind.
too much."
Seeing the reserved arrogance and reserve of these Youzhou Army generals, Wang Cong wanted to pick up a copper trumpet and tell these guys if they could stop being so arrogant.
It's a pity that he, Wang Cong, is a minister of the Great Xia Kingdom after all. He has already accepted the king's secret order. He must not reveal the truth. If it causes changes, he cannot tell the truth.
However, he also tried his best to say a few more words, but was muffled by these rough guys.
In desperation, Wang Cong could only return to Wen'an City and quickly wrote a letter to Dou Jiande, hoping to get advice from the great king Dou Jiande.
"It seems that King Xia really underestimated our manager and our Youzhou Army, and actually wanted us to avoid the sharp edge of a bunch of bandits. If this is true, how will the heroes of the world treat us?"
After Wang Cong left, all the arrogant generals of the Sui Dynasty and the current generals of the Youzhou Army complained one after another, expressing their disdain and disdain for the Xia Kingdom, who was born into a mainstream bandit.
Luo Yi also waited for his subordinates to vent their frustrations before signaling with a smile.
"Okay, okay, generals, now we in Youzhou and Xia Kingdom can be considered as close friends. These words must not fall into the ears of others, so as not to hurt the friendship."
"Next, tomorrow our army will go straight south. If we encounter those rogue horse bandits, we will take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate them. We want the soldiers and civilians of the Xia Kingdom to know how elite our Youzhou Army is."
"Promise!" A group of arrogant generals from the Youzhou Army stood up and agreed loudly in unison.
The next day, Wang Cong received a letter. Xia King Dou Jiande encouraged him and told him that since the Youzhou Army was willing to meet the Zhenfu Army cavalry, they should go with them.
If they can win a big victory, Daxia can also release more troops to aid Jincheng Palace. If they lose, they will suffer a loss, so that the Youzhou Army, a proud and powerful general of the Sui Dynasty, will always feel superior to us.
The Great Xia Kingdom ranks first.
However, if you think about it carefully, even if the Youzhou Army, which came from the former Sui Guards, was really defeated by the Zhenfu Army, the difference should not be too big. At any rate, it could weaken their cavalry strength for Daxia.
After receiving such a response, the honest and loyal old man Wang Cong also breathed a sigh of relief. Well, the king said so anyway, and you rough guys from the Youzhou Army are not willing to listen to the advice, so it's up to you.
The Youzhou army only rested in Wen'an for two days before reorganizing the army and marching south, aiming directly at Pingshu City in the south. On the way, they actually encountered a group of Suppression and Fu Army cavalry, but the number of this group of cavalry was only a thousand.
Yu Qi.
After the Youzhou Army sent out cavalry to pursue them, they fled from the Youzhou Army's sight in panic.
On the second day, about thousands of Zhenfu Army cavalry appeared and began to harass. However, the enemy only broke up with the Youzhou Army as soon as they came into contact, and left without wanting to fight. After that, it was harassing combat, instead of burning the camp with rockets for the rest of the night.
During the day, hundreds of horsemen suddenly appeared, fired a hail of arrows and then rode away.
This made the officers and soldiers of the Youzhou Army who wanted to make great achievements very unhappy. At the same time, they also felt contempt for this Suppression Army cavalry.
This does not look like an elite division that has been trained for a long time and has strict military discipline. It is simply a bunch of thieves and bandits. However, the opponent's riding and shooting skills are quite powerful.
In response to this, Luo Yi ordered his army to continue to move forward steadily, intending to lure the enemy and eat the small number of cavalry. However, the opponent was slippery, making it difficult for him to lure the enemy, and he even lost some men.
This made Luo Yi and a group of proud soldiers of the Youzhou Army feel annoyed. This made Pingshu City, which was supposed to only take two or three days to reach, take a full five days to reach.
#####
At this time, not only Luo Yi felt annoyed, but also the entire Youzhou Army, which had suffered little loss but lost a lot of face after being played by the Suppressing Army cavalry, was suffocating.
Even though Wang Cong, who came on behalf of King Dou Jiande of Great Xia, had always been very sincere and expressed his concern about the damage to the Youzhou Army without saying a word of ridicule, the Youzhou Army still felt his face was burning and became angry with embarrassment.
Especially Luo Yi, who killed his immediate boss and relied on his great reputation in the army to become the general manager of Youzhou, which controls the counties in the North. His original intention was to lead an elite division and let Xia Guo take good care of it.
A quick look shows that although the Youzhou Army has less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is definitely a leader who can fight ten.
This trip to the south is not only to help the Xia Kingdom, but also to show off his strong muscles to the Xia King Dou Jiande, so that Da Xia can understand that our Youzhou Army can help you defeat the Suppression Army, and you can’t even think of rising to the
My intention is to cause trouble in Youzhou territory.
Otherwise, you should first carefully consider whether my Youzhou army can resist the rabble of your Xia Kingdom.
Now, if they were defeated by a group of thieves and horse bandits led by this suppressing army, how could they have the face to show off to the Xia Kingdom?
Therefore, after careful thinking and discussion, Luo Yi and a group of Youzhou generals devised a plan to lure the enemy. They decided to let the cavalry advance first, and then the infantry to move slowly behind.
With this Suppression Army's constant harassment posture day and night, it will inevitably harass and block the infantry after the Youzhou Army's cavalry leaves. At this time, if the infantry is formed into formation and the cavalry returns to support, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
hit.
As soon as this desperate and rough plan came out, the eyes of Wang Cong, the minister of Zhongshu who had been ordered to accompany the army by the king of Daxia, stood up.
However, Luo Yi came with the army this time. They were all rough guys in the army. They were very clever in military strategy... Well, if he really had that ability, he wouldn't have been hanging around in the middle and low-level generals all the time.
.
Even Luo Yi was just a tough general among the guards in the past. It was really too difficult for them to plan a well-organized strategy to lure the enemy.
