He knew that this guy also wanted to ask, but his dignity as an uncle made him really unable to save face.
Li Jing smiled slightly, and he also saw Han Qinhu's expression. If it were in the past, he would definitely show off his expression, but after staying with Li Xingchen for so long, he also saw the monsters in the academy.
Of course, Li Jing knew that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the mountains, so he immediately said calmly:
"Second, the enemy's cavalry aims to cut off our retreat, especially the food route. With a flat city alone, it will be difficult for us to fight without food. The main task of the infantry is naturally to attack the city. If we can destroy the enemy's cavalry
.
Then in the wilderness outside Pingcheng, our cavalry will no longer be able to defeat us. Even if the number of cavalry is not large enough to directly defeat the enemy's infantry, how can Dugu Yongye stop us?
Food and equipment are continuously transported into the city? The initiative on the entire battlefield is naturally in our hands."
Niu Hong clapped his hands and laughed: "Good!"
And Han Qinhu coughed, you old cow, are you really planning to join this smart boy to lose face to someone today?
Han Qinhu had to admit that this was indeed a reasonable plan, but as an experienced general, of course he was still keenly aware of the omissions in the plan: "If we want to defeat the enemy's cavalry, how many people do we need?
Where should we set up an ambush? If the enemy is advancing with cavalry, they must be marching very fast. Moreover, once the cavalry moves and wants to break out, can the enemy be stopped with the help of infantry, even with our cavalry?"
Mobility is an advantage that cannot be ignored by cavalry, especially the Xianbei cavalry who are skilled in bows and horses. Even if they are really trapped, it is not impossible to break out, especially from Pingcheng south to Yanmen Pass. Although there are many obstacles along the way,
There are many hills, but there are no narrow and dangerous places like Yanmen Pass. Otherwise, the Great Wall of the ancients would not have sunk southward to Yanmen Pass. Therefore, it seems impossible to use valleys or river valleys to trap enemy cavalry.
Reality.
Once the cavalry begins to break through, the ambushed Han infantry is likely to be counterattacked.
This is also what Han Qinhu is most worried about.
Li Jing turned to look at the gloomy sky outside: "We still have God's help."
Han Qinhu was startled for a moment and subconsciously followed Li Jing's gaze.
This snowstorm is just an intermission and will definitely continue.
Even people who can't understand celestial phenomena should be able to understand it.
Heavy snow is certainly not a good weather for cavalry, especially when the snow is thick, the movement speed of cavalry will naturally be hindered, and vision and the like will also be affected. The Han Dynasty was able to defeat the Turks in the northwest battle.
Relying on the wind and snow weather, coupled with the favorable geographical location at the time, the Turks were trapped in the river valley and were in a dilemma, and were ultimately defeated.
Of course, this is not a good thing for infantry, especially those who want to ambush, because it means that the enemy may not be found at all.
Wind and snow are the best cover, but also the biggest obstacle.
However, this problem is not unsolvable. As long as more people are dispersed, the enemy's clues can always be detected. What's more, in heavy snowy weather, the opponent's cavalry will definitely not take the narrow path when advancing, and will more likely choose the main road.
, so it is not impossible to find the enemy.
Niu Hong looked at Han Qinhu and felt that this plan was feasible.
But he didn't know how feasible it was.
Han Qinhu asked in a deep voice: "How many people are needed?"
"Five thousand elite infantry plus five hundred musketeers." Li Jing said directly.
Han Qinhu glanced at him and answered so simply. It was obvious that this plan had been considered in Li Jing's mind for a long time.
"How sure are you?"
"I don't know." Li Jing's answer was more straightforward.
Han Qinhu raised his eyebrows: "That means you are not sure?"
"We don't know how many enemies there are, and we don't know where they come from, so we can't say whether we are sure or not. We can only adapt to circumstances, or we may not find a chance until the end and have to retreat," Li Jing explained.
Han Qinhu was startled for a moment, then smiled.
He was very satisfied with Li Jing's answer.
It seems that I really learned something from being with His Majesty.
"That's it. We have all the soldiers and horses in the city. It's up to you to choose." Han Qinhu said directly.
Li Jing solemnly handed over his hand.
"But you can only be undefeated, not defeated." Han Qinhu added, "Otherwise, military law is ruthless, and you know the consequences."
Li Jing took a deep breath. Of course he knew that he was Han Qinhu's nephew. Once he made a mistake, Han Qinhu would not let him go easily. There were advantages and disadvantages in coming to follow Han Qinhu.
But Li Jing believed that he would not fail.
"Don't worry, General!" Li Jing strode out.
Niu Hong looked at his back with some worry: "Isn't this a bit exaggerating?"
Han Qinhu smiled.
"What's so funny?" Niu Hong was dissatisfied.
It is known to everyone that he is not a general. It is too much for you to ridicule him like this.
Han Qinhu explained: "Jing'er is already calm, and after several years of experience, he is even more stable. It seems like this is a dangerous move, but if he is not 70 to 80% sure, he will never make up his mind."
Niu Hong was stunned.
I have forgotten that this kid Li Jing has never done anything he was not sure about.
He won't say anything that he's not sure about.
Han Qinhu smiled to himself: "I have thought of such a plan before, but I am not sure whether I am sure of it. Jing'er is very confident. It seems that I am overly worried."
Niu Hong said calmly: "After all, we are all older, so we naturally have more concerns and worries than young people. However, we don't know that our opponent may not be as powerful as we imagined, at least we are not without the ability to fight."
Han Qinhu glanced at him: "What?"
"nonsense."
Niu Hong smiled and said nothing more.
Niu Hong could tell from this guy's expression that he had actually planned to do this for a long time, but he was just waiting for his nephew to bring it up before decisively giving him the credit.
Others say he is timid, but he captured the tiger into the river, entered the grassland, and captured Pingcheng. He threatened the enemy's flanks by himself. All he did was to fight with a small number and dance on the tip of a knife. When had he ever been timid?
Now Li Jing went to complete Han Qinhu's plan. As a general, Han Qinhu had a somewhat disappointed look on his face.
It's just that this look disappeared in a flash, and was replaced by expectation.
For Han Qinhu, it would be more appropriate for Li Jing to achieve success and fame than for him to make further contributions. He just hoped that this boy would not let him down, otherwise he would be dealt with severely when he comes back.
