Fang Jun snorted and said: "It's just a matter of taking advantage of the enemy. The two groups of enemies are both elite. Their number is estimated to be quite large, and their whereabouts are uncertain. If they are not careful, they will get into the surrounding of the two armies. They can only
Take it slow and steady, it depends on the situation."
The best way is of course to let you come in any number of directions, I will only go all the way, seize one of them and concentrate my strength to destroy it, and then go back and annihilate the other one.
However, although the two armies are not under each other, there are people from Jiaohe City who are in charge of them. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded by the other side. Once the two enemy armies attack from the front and back, even if the entire army of Youtun Guards is not wiped out, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
.
He didn't think that if he sent a few people to block the four gates of Jiaohe City, he could really lock those people in Jiaohe City...
Pei Xingjian analyzed: "The current situation is that if I don't conquer the enemy, the enemy will unite to attack me sooner or later. But if I take the initiative to conquer the enemy, I will be overthrown at every turn... I can't delay it. The situation on Xue Rengui's side is precarious. Since then,
During the fierce battle between the Arabs and the Arabs, they could still send a cavalry to sneak here. It can be seen that the Arabs on the Gongyue City side have completely gained the upper hand, and Xue Rengui can only hold on. Commander, there is no guarantee of victory in battle formations.
On the contrary, there is absolutely no guarantee of defeat. When facing any enemy at any time, you have to take risks. Since there is nothing you can do now, why not take a risk? If you lose, you will just retreat to Gaochang City. With the help of the Ju family,
With the power of firearms, holding on to the city will not be a problem. The enemy's advance into the Western Region will be difficult to sustain for a long time, and they will retreat without fighting in a few days. But if they win, half of the Western Region will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and the Anxi Army will no longer have any worries.
Traitors must also be punished! Commander, this battle was indeed won!"
Fang Jun was silent.
He knew his own affairs, and he had no military talent at all. The great achievements he had made along the way were all based on firearms and tactical concepts that were beyond the times. If he were to seriously arrange troops, how could he have that ability?
He can also listen to suggestions.
Moreover, although Pei Xingjian has not yet reached the complete "realm of great achievement" as in history, he has already shown his talents. Since he strongly agrees that this battle can be fought, then he must be able to fight it.
Furthermore, as Pei Xingjian said, even if it fails, Youtun Guards can completely hold on with the power of firearms. No matter how brave and powerful the enemy army is, in the final analysis, it cannot last long if it penetrates deep into the hinterland of the Western Region. As long as it can hold for three to five days,
The enemy will retreat without fighting.
Thinking about it this way, we can indeed fight...
Fang Jun is not an indecisive person. Since Wei Ying has made his own decision and Pei Xingjian believes that this plan is feasible, he cannot sit here and hesitate and miss the opportunity.
He immediately ordered: "If the order is given, the entire army will leave the camp immediately. Except for the things they carry to keep out the cold and enough dry food, all the other baggage will be discarded and left intact. The scouts will go out for thirty miles and closely inspect the two sides of Alagou.
It is a normal situation, but if there is any abnormality, please report it immediately."
Then he said to Pei Xingjian: "Send someone to inform Cheng Wuting to raid the Anxi Protectorate Office. We must arrest Chang Sun Ming, Hou Mo, Chen Sui and others, whether they are alive or dead!"
The living are naturally better than the dead. After all, only the living can speak out and identify the conspiracy of collaboration and treason behind the Guanlong Clan. However, since the Guanlong Clan can be arranged by the Guanlong Clan to take charge of all the clans in the Western Region in the Anxi Protectorate,
The matter must be to kill the decisive person. If you can escape, then so be it. If you can't escape, you will naturally not be captured and become a prisoner.
Although the Tang Dynasty was not famous for torture, there were many different torture techniques. Who could guarantee that they would be able to grit their teeth and keep their mouth shut forever?
Either the fish dies or the net is broken, or the person kills himself with a knife, he will never just surrender and be captured.
"Here!"
Pei Xingjian and all the generals in the tent received the order, and then hurried out and returned to their respective teams to carry out the order.
Fang Jun sat upright in the tent, his face as heavy as water.
If you think about it carefully, Wei Ying's strategy of "driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf" does have room for maneuver. If you take a risk, you may not have no chance of winning. However, the most critical part of this strategy is that Youtun Wei ambushed in the mountains south of Alagou. When we go up there, can we avoid the Turks and Arabs' scouts?
Before the army attacks, there must be scouts to check the nearby situation and ensure that nothing goes wrong before the whole army can be dispatched. Otherwise, it is very easy to fall into the enemy's plan.
Once the Turkic and Arab scouts searched along the mountains on both sides, although they did not dare to approach the Youtun Guards camp and thus fell into the "empty city strategy", could the Youtun Guards soldiers really escape the eyes of the scouts?
The Youtun Guards are indeed elite, undoubtedly a first-rate and powerful army in this era, but they will be hidden in the ice and snow until the Turks and Arabs arrive together. How strong will the soldiers need to stand to withstand the severe cold?
If you can hold on for one day, but if the enemy doesn't come for two days, I'm afraid all the soldiers will be frozen to death. The bone-marrow-soaked cold in the severe cold will eat away at your will and patience like worms, until you can no longer hold on. If you go down, the fear of freezing to death will erode all loyalty and bravery, and the whole person's will will completely collapse, and the entire army will mutiny, no matter who your commander is.
Fang Jun is not arrogant enough to think that Youtunwei can compete with the invincible army of "Changjin Lake" with iron discipline and fire-blood...
But the matter has come to this, and there is no use in thinking about it.
Soon, the entire army was assembled. Except for a few soldiers left to act as "death squads" to attract enemy attacks and prevent the entire military camp from being discovered to be an "empty city", the rest were all under the leadership of their respective generals. Then retreat towards the mountains to the south.
Amidst the wind and snow, the soldiers of Youtun Guards were wrapped in sheets, cloaks and other things to protect themselves from the wind and snow. The long queue was winding and marching towards the snow-covered mountains. The thick snow was under their feet, and the cold wind was blowing in their faces. Dao, there were more than 20,000 people in the Youtun Guards, but they walked firmly and remained silent. They did not complain a word or a word, and did not show any fear of difficulties. They did not care about life or death when the military orders came.
Fang Jun rode on the horse, letting the cold wind blowing in his face cut his face like a knife. The cloak behind him rustled, but his chest was full of fire.
If the previous two battles in Mobei and Hexi shocked the world with the combat power of Youtunwei, but in fact there is still some gap between the world's strongest army and more reliance on the power of firearms to make up for it, then if this battle of Alagou Victory, Youtunwei will usher in a fundamental change.
Even if the power of firearms is lost in the future, with the spirit, tenacity and absolute obedience displayed by this army, it will definitely be the best army in the world.
No one can understand better than Fang Jun, who has experienced such an era, how powerful the fighting power will be when an army unites as one and follows orders.
After all, fighting is not only about weapons and equipment and logistics, but also about spiritual will!
In the heavy snow, the entire Youtun Guard abandoned their camp and crawled into the mountains on the southern slope of Alagou. The thick snow was fluttering, covering up the traces left by the march of the army in the blink of an eye. The army was organized into units of "corps"
They were scattered throughout the mountains, each gathering in one place to keep warm, waiting for the enemy to attack.
The snow is falling heavily, and the sky and the earth are white. The north wind is blowing the snow foam and flying freely between the sky and the earth. Who would have thought that in this desolate ice and snow, there is a surging murderous intention hidden?
*****
When Cheng Wuting received the order from Fang Jun, the sky was already dark, snowflakes covered the sky and the clouds were covered, and the lights were already on in the house.
Listening to the orders passed by the scouts, Cheng Wuting felt a headache.
He could barely do it by asking him to seal the four gates of Jiaohe City. After all, Fang Jun held the crown prince's talisman, and his status was righteous. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be contemptuous of the crown prince and ignored the law. But now, let him rely on his hand to carry out a brigade.
The soldiers went to attack the Anxi Protectorate Office and capture Changsun Ming, Hou Mo, Chen Sui and others. How could this be done?
It's not that he thinks that the Duhufu government office cannot be broken, but that Chang Sun Ming, Hou Mo and Chen Sui all have legs. They have already committed a heinous crime. How can they just arrest them when the Youtun guards come to attack them? Or hurry up.
Run away and fly high, or fight stubbornly and fight to the death...
The order says it doesn’t matter life or death, but what’s the use of dead people?
Catching a living one is a great achievement, but catching a few dead ones is of no use, so it is naturally a waste of effort.
However, he did not disobey the order, so Cheng Wuting could only summon his soldiers and head towards the government office under the heavy snow.
When he arrived at the gate of the government office, he asked his disciples to ask for permission to see the eldest son, Sun Ming, but he said that his eldest son, who joined the army, was not in the yamen office. How could Cheng Wuting believe it? Chang Sunming had no residence in Jiaohe City and lived in the yamen office every day. Besides, at this time they
The Turks were dispatched and commanded in the middle, and the Arabs raided the right guard, so they naturally had to discuss and act in one place.
Cheng Wuting didn't talk nonsense at the moment. Since it was so difficult to catch him alive, he simply didn't put any effort into it and went in with all his strength. Whether he died or lived was left to fate.
When he waved the order, hundreds of soldiers from Youtun Guards broke through the main gate of the Governor's Office and charged in fiercely.
