These veterans of the Tang Dynasty have not been on the battlefield for a long time.
Except for a few people, they only have a superficial concept of war scenes in the firearm age.
I often hear young people talking about the emergence of new firearms, and the Wuhan Research Institute has developed new tactics as a result.
They were all envious, and it also gave them a deep sense of crisis.
They are also afraid that one day they will be eliminated by the times and forgotten by the times.
Therefore, they want to seize this last opportunity to let their old rose bloom again.
And of course Li Chengqian's purpose in calling them here was also the same.
"Since everyone has no objections."
"Let's discuss the strategic plan next."
Li Chengqian clapped his hands, and Xiao Chuzi, who had been waiting outside, immediately asked someone to bring in the sand table that had been prepared.
The sand table is a panoramic simulation of Mobei Road, Guligan and Xue Yantuo. Every mountain, river, ravine, desert and river is clearly marked on it.
Everyone also gathered around the sand table and carefully watched the landforms on the sand table.
Li Chengqian said: "Since they attacked us in Mobei this time, we will naturally retaliate in their own way."
"My soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty will definitely fight to their territory and repay them in full the harm they have caused to our Datang Dynasty."
Anger will be repaid.
This is Li Chengqian's consistent style.
These people in the field have all fought with Li Chengqian.
Naturally, they all understand this.
Li Ji stared and thought for a while, then pointed at the sand table and said, "Xue Yantuo is easy to talk to."
"We can enter from the Western Region and from Mobei."
"But if you want to break into Guligan, it is really difficult due to their geographical location."
"Because you need to cross the Yanshan Mountains to enter the Guligan area from the Northeast Road."
"Crossing mountains and ridges has been a taboo for military strategists from ancient times to the present. It is difficult to maintain our logistics.
barrier."
Li Jidao: "With our current transportation strength, it is difficult to support the team deep into the hinterland of Guligan."
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.
If a war breaks out and the logistics line is broken, it will be a fatal blow to the soldiers fighting at the front.
When everyone heard this, the expressions on their faces became solemn.
Li Chengqian naturally thought of this.
He pointed at the border of Xueyantuo and said, "What if we fight through Xueyantuo?"
"this……"
Li Ji frowned and seemed to be thinking about the possibility of fighting Xue Yantuo.
Li Daozong was the first to speak: "Xue Yantuo is adjacent to Guligan. It would be fine if we could drive into Guligan from Xue Yantuo."
"But, Xue Yantuo's place is full of cavalry."
Li Daozong gestured with his fingers: "Unless we can directly destroy Xue Yantuo, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of the logistics supply line."
His worries are not unfounded.
Xue Yantuo had many cavalry and the army was highly mobile.
If they were asked to figure out the route of Datang's logistics supply line, they would have the ability to attack the logistics team at any time.
And the logistics team cannot guarantee the food and clothing of the front team at all.
Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully.
At this time.
Cheng Yaojin also said: "Aside from the poor logistics, there is actually something else we need to worry about."
"The place where Xueyantuo borders the Northern Desert is a desert with ruined vegetation."
"In our Datang army, except for the Liangzhou Army, which has experience in fighting in Mobei, other teams basically have no experience."
"But the Liangzhou Army has always been mainly infantry, with some cavalry. But if you want to use the Liangzhou Army's cavalry to launch a war of annihilation against a nomadic country, it's like a joke."
"So in the end, there is a high probability that the Bingzhou Corps will still be needed."
"But the combat experience of the Bingzhou Legion is really hard to describe..."
