Gao Fei ordered his people to open the map and hang it up high. He winked at Jia Xu and said, "It's time to start."
Jia Xu nodded heavily, walked to the hanging map, and said loudly: "According to the information Bian Xi brought back before, Su Zheng concentrated all his troops in the county town. The county town is a place where money and food are gathered.
Moreover, the defense of the city wall is also very strong. If we attack by force, it will only delay time. Therefore, we can only use outsmart methods to achieve a quick victory."
After hearing this, everyone present nodded, their faces full of confidence, waiting to listen to Jia Xu's words.
Jia Xu continued: "Our army is 30,000, and the enemy's army is 10,000. Attacking with three times the enemy's force is a great pressure for Su Zheng. Therefore, while increasing this pressure,
We also want to make Su Zheng feel like he underestimates the enemy. My lord and I have already discussed it and are preparing to end the battle within three days. Zhao Yun!"
Zhao Yun immediately clasped his fists and said: "The general is here, what are the military advisor's orders?"
Jia Xu said: "You will lead your 10,000 cavalry troops to set off today. They will first set up camp outside the city of Gaoguli. After resting for a night, they will launch an attack the next morning. But you want the troops to show signs of being disorganized."
, make Su Zheng think that the cavalry you lead is just a bunch of rabble, and then start to lure the enemy and lure Su Zheng out of the city."
Zhao Yun replied: "No!"
Jia Xu continued: "Zhang He, you and your 10,000-horse infantry will set off tonight and march day and night directly to Shangmaling, fifty miles outside Gaoguli City. You will set up an ambush there. After Zhao Yun lures Su Zheng out of the city, you will work together to capture Su Zheng."
Its defeat!"
Zhang He said: "Promise, I will eventually understand."
After Jia Xu finished his instructions, he cupped his hands towards Gao Fei and said, "My lord, my subordinates have made arrangements."
"Wait a minute... Military advisor, why don't you let me send troops?" When Taishi Ci heard that Jia Xu didn't call his name, he immediately stood up and shouted.
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Oh, the Lord will tell you about this."
Gao Fei was the first to say: "Okay, Zhao Yun, you can set off now with ten thousand Feiyu troops. Zhang He's troops will not set off until after dinner. You can all go down and prepare."
"No!" everyone replied in unison.
Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Hua Xiong, Pang De and others all left the hall one after another, but Tai Shici was still standing there.
"Huh? Ziyi, why don't you go down and get ready?" Gao Fei asked immediately when he saw that Tai Shici had not left.
Taishi Ci said: "My lord, am I still waiting for you to give me an order?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Haha, there are no more orders. Go down and prepare now. Follow me to Gaoguli in an hour."
Taishi Ci looked at Gao Fei and Jia Xu curiously, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the military advisor, they all have the task of acting alone, why don't they give me orders? Do the lord and the military advisor think that I can't capture Gaoguli? My lord."
As long as you give me two thousand cavalry, I can capture Gaoguli at noon tomorrow."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "General Taishi, the walls of Gaoguli city are thick and heavily guarded. If there are no siege equipment, even if Zhao Yun succeeds in luring the enemy, there will still be a relatively large number of troops in the city. As long as they stay behind closed doors.
, you can’t capture it at all.”
Taishi Ci snorted heavily and said loudly: "The military advisor looks down on me, Taishi Ci, right? No matter how strong the city wall is, as long as the two thousand horse archers under my command follow me to attack, I will definitely teach those people to open their doors obediently."
City gate."
Gao Fei smiled sinisterly and said, "Are you serious about this?"
"The general is willing to issue a military order. If the city of Gaoguli cannot be captured by tomorrow afternoon, the general is willing to dedicate this head to the lord." Taishi Ci patted his chest and said loudly.
Gao Fei smiled and said, "What's the point of asking for your head? If you really want to send troops, I can give you soldiers and horses, but if you can't capture Gaoguli City within the time limit, you, General Pi, will not be able to capture it."
You don’t have to do it, how about taking care of my black pony every day from now on?”
Taishi Ci was startled for a moment, thought for a moment, and said immediately: "Okay, it's settled. Please give me two thousand cavalry, my lord. Tomorrow afternoon, I will definitely plant your lord's flag on the tower of Gaoguli."
above."
Jia Xu said: "My lord, please don't act out of your imagination. The walls of Gaoguli City are very strong, and..."
Taishi Ci hurriedly interrupted Jia Xu's words and said loudly: "Military advisor! My lord has already promised me, so don't stay here with your mother-in-law and mother. My lord, I will leave right away..."
"Wait, there is no basis for what you say. If General Taishi insists on going on an expedition, he must issue a military order!" Jia Xu suddenly pulled over a piece of paper, holding a pen in his other hand, and said to Taishi kindly.
Taishi Ci immediately walked up to Jia Xu, wrote a military order on the paper, and signed his name. After writing it, he said to Jia Xu angrily: "Military advisor, I, Taishi Ci, have always been...
Put your faith first, do what you say, and never go back on your word, is that okay?"
Jia Xu pretended to browse carefully and said to Tai Shici: "Well, that's enough."
"Ziyi!"
Taishi Ci turned around and left, but when he heard Gao Fei suddenly calling him, he turned around and asked, "My lord, do you have any other orders for me?"
Gao Fei shook his head and said: "Take away all the three thousand cavalry from our headquarters. Since we want to send troops, we must increase our strength. I will personally lead the remaining seven thousand infantry and go to Gaoju tomorrow afternoon."
Li, I hope you won’t go feed my horse then.”
Taishi Ci's eyes sparkled, and he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Promise, I will definitely capture the city of Gaoguli and dedicate it to my lord. Please don't worry, lord!"
"Well, you can set off soon. You will temporarily ambush in the north of the city and stagger Zhao Yun's troops. You must wait until Zhao Yun successfully lures the soldiers out of the city tomorrow before launching an attack." Gao Fei said.
Taishi Ci said: "No!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taishi Ci turned around and walked away with a majestic look, without even looking back.
Seeing Tai Shici leaving, Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, is this really okay?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Military advisors are best at recognizing people. Can't you still see Tai Shici's strength? Even without the help of Zhao Yun and Zhang He this time, he still has the strength to capture a city with three thousand cavalry. The reason why he let
The purpose of Zhao Yun and Zhang He's cover was to reduce casualties as much as possible, and this was also the only feasible way to achieve a quick victory. The military counselor should not forget that among the 40,000 troops in Liaodong, only the 3,000 elite cavalry under his command were capable of archery.
The most accurate one. Even the 10,000 Feiyu Army cannot compare with Tai Shici's 3,000 fine cavalry in terms of archery skills alone. He has this strength."
After Jia Xu heard this, he chuckled and said, "My lord, I understand. When will we set off?"
Gao Fei said: "The rest are infantry. If we want to reach Gaoguli before noon tomorrow, we must set off after dark. Military advisor, we should also make preparations."
"promise!"
After the generals came out of the prefect's mansion, Zhao Yun led Hua Xiong, Pang De, Zhou Cang and 10,000 cavalry to leave the city immediately and headed towards Gaoguli, the county seat of Xuanpu County. In addition, Taishi Ci
He also left the city with his three thousand cavalry with accurate archery skills, while the remaining troops rested in the city, preparing to set out after nightfall.
In the past few months, Gao Fei has been recruiting troops and horses, expanding his army to 40,000 people, and vigorously developing cavalry. The number of cavalry in the army has reached 18,000, and he has purchased 30,000 horses.
Some soldiers whose riding skills are not good enough can only be temporarily reduced to infantry.
In order to attack Xuanzang County this time, Gao Fei used 30,000 troops with well-equipped weapons. The 10,000 soldiers who stayed in Liaodong City were newly recruited soldiers whose training had not reached a certain level. In order to improve the strength of his army,
In terms of combat effectiveness, he not only promoted the method used to train Feiyu Army soldiers in Chencang, but also selected outstanding soldiers from the army and assigned dedicated personnel to strengthen training, thereby strengthening the elites of the army on the basis of overall combat effectiveness.
The three thousand horse archers trained by Taishi Ci have far surpassed the Feiyu Army, whose overall combat effectiveness is very fierce, in terms of riding and shooting skills alone, and have become the most sophisticated army among Gao Fei's troops. In addition,
The infantry trained by Zhang He are also relatively excellent, and their strength in battle is second to none. However, in terms of overall combat strength, the Feiyu Army is the strongest. In terms of archery, riding, combat skills and the physical fitness of the soldiers, they are outstanding in each field.
They are competent in all aspects, and there are also Wuhuan's cavalry in the army, the athletes brought by Gao Fei from Liangzhou, and Chu Yan's group of bandits, which can be regarded as the best among the best.
It’s not about having many soldiers, it’s about being good. Gao Fei applies this sentence well to his own army, but while highlighting the elite soldiers, he also doesn’t forget to improve the overall combat capability of the army. Although he likes elite soldiers, if he can bring all the troops together,
If the army becomes elite, it will undoubtedly give him a very strong military strength. Therefore, he not only likes elite soldiers, but also likes to increase the number of his troops. Only in this way can he avoid encountering a large number of enemy troops in Liangzhou.
A bitter battle resulting from the siege.
After nightfall, Gao Fei took Jia Xu, Zhang He and others to set out together, and the small Hou City suddenly became empty. Liaodong was managed in an orderly manner by Gao Fei, and the people's support, the theory of the reincarnation of the Ziwei Emperor Star also gradually
The news spread to the surrounding counties and counties, making Gao Fei extremely prestigious in Liaoxi, Liaodong, Xuanzang and Lelang areas.
Outside Gaoguli City, the armies of Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci have arrived after an afternoon of running. Zhao Yun went to camp ten miles outside Gaoguli City, while Taishi Ci went around to the north of Gaoguli City to hide. All work was done.
Basically done, just waiting for a battle tomorrow.
At the same time, Gao Fei and his troops were marching desperately...
