Chapter four hundred and ninety-six the national war
After Gu Qing finished speaking, the generals in the commanding tent immediately smacked their lips.
An Lushan’s routine seems familiar, and he is so familiar. When I recall it carefully, wasn’t that what happened to Mr. Gu in Hangu Pass?
First, he sent Modao Camp to snipe the enemy head-on in the pass, and then sent Chang Zhong and Liu Hongbo to lead more than 30,000 ambush troops to raid the rebels' rear army, and at the same time cut off their retreat. More than half of the 50,000 rebels were lost in that ambush battle. The main general Shi Siming was killed by his personal guards and opened a bloody road before he escaped.
Unexpectedly, today, An Lushan has set such a vicious trap for the Anxi Army. No wonder the generals of the Anxi Army think it looks familiar and authentic.
"Mr., An thief is too bullying. He actually plotted back with his former plan as it was. Is it unbearable!" Chang Zhong said angrily.
"I do feel offended..." Gu Qing rubbed his cheeks and said, "But to be honest, although the strategy is plagiarism, it is also very vicious. Don't forget that we almost fell into a trap at the beginning. If we didn't find out where the ambush was and rashly asked the soldiers to annihilate the rebels, what would happen to the Anxi army now? Have you ever thought about it?"
Duan Wuji said in a deep voice: "The greatness of this plan lies in the unexpected. No one expected that An Lushan could borrow a 100,000 army from a foreign race. Our eyes were only staring at the main force of the rebels in Chang'an City. If the Anxi Army really sent troops, the consequences would be unimaginable..."
"Although this plan is the wisest of Mr. Shi, it is even better than Mr. Gong's original design. If our army's plan is damaged at least half of the troops, An Lushan can easily wipe out the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty's rebels in one fell swoop. From then on, the rebels swept the south, and An's thieves can rest assured."
Gu Qing nodded, his eyes filled with worries.
His pattern is higher than Duan Wuji. Duan Wuji's eyes stared at the battle situation in front of him, but Gu Qing saw the overall situation. An Lushan borrowed 100,000 troops from the alien race, which shows that the tribes in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty are no longer optimistic about the rule of Li Tang. The leaders of the alien race may have made a judgment, believing that the Tang Dynasty's country would be replaced.
An Lushan became the true emperor in their eyes, so they had to send troops to help while An Lushan was in a smooth journey. In the future, they could only make the conditions after An Lushan took up the country.
It has to be said that Li Longji's decision to escape from Chang'an gave a heavy blow to the shaky Tang Dynasty.
The emperor of a powerful empire was forced to escape from the capital by the rebels. Everyone in the world looked at him coldly. Li Longji's actions were almost half of the country's destruction. The political influence was too bad. All the whole country and neighboring countries lost confidence in Li Tang. Even if there were friendly neighbors who wanted to send troops to help, they had to suspend their actions and wait for the situation to develop.
If Li Longji had still stood firm in Chang'an, the foreign races in the north would not have borrowed An Lushan's troops so happily.
The incompetence of the imperial court and the emperor gave An Lushan the arrogant capital.
"Since the enemy ambush has been investigated clearly, let's take a plan..." Gu Qing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The overall strategy is to mainly annihilate the enemy ambush. As for the 20,000 rebels, keep them first, so we cannot free up the extra troops to annihilate them."
The generals bowed together and shouted, "Please give orders from the Lord."
Gu Qing turned his head and looked at Xian Yu Zhongtong. Xian Yu Zhongtong stroked his beard and smiled: "Supervisor Gu Jie issued an order, and our soldiers of Shu army must obey the order. If anyone does not follow, I will be killed."
Among the generals, Qu Huan walked out to salute and said, "The last general Dai Geshu Jieshuan expressed his opinion that the Hexi army was willing to obey Mr. Gu, and those who did not follow him were killed."
Gu Qing smiled and called on the generals to surround the sand table. Then Gu Qing straightened his waist and suddenly became serious. The air in the handsome tent suddenly became bleak.
"Where is the sinking field?"
Chen Tian clasped his fists: "The last one will be there."
Gu Qing pointed to the Tangzhou near the sand table and said, "You lead three thousand cavalry and march to Tangzhou quickly, bring more flags and drums, and then encounter 20,000 rebels, and then attack them..."
Gu Qing emphasized and said, "Remember, it's a 'felt attack', not to let you really attack. Three thousand people have no chance of winning against 20,000 rebels. Don't commit suicide, otherwise you will be subject to military law when you come back."
Chen Tian understood Gu Qing's meaning and said helplessly: "Yes, following the Duke's military order, the last general made a feint attack, waved the flags and urged the drums, thinking that he was suspicious of the soldiers, and restrained 20,000 rebels near Tangzhou, so that they did not dare to move."
Gu Qing nodded and said, "If the rebels retreat northward, you can intervene with them and retreat at once. You cannot fight with them. In short, your mission is to delay these 20,000 rebels."
"yes."
Gu Qing looked around the generals and said, "After Chen Tian's troops contacted the rebels, the rebels would promptly report to the ambush. The ambush must go south quickly, intending to seize our retreat. Next, the key is our battle with the alien ambush, and annihilation or defeating this ambush is our goal."
Pointing at the Xuzhou city on the sand table, Gu Qing said in a deep voice: "The battle location I chose is near Xuzhou. The scout has surveyed the terrain near Xuzhou. The terrain of Xuzhou is high in the northwest and tilted from north to south. Most of the nearby ones are plains and hilly places, suitable for cavalry charges. If the enemy ambush arrives, the terrain will be unfavorable to me, but we can play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and not fight under Xuzhou..."
Pointing to the Yingshui River south of Xuzhou, Gu Qing slowly said: "The battle location I chose is on the south bank of Yingshui River. The enemy will cross the Yingshui River when they pass by Xuzhou. We will set up ambushing troops on the south bank of Yingshui River to wait for the enemy to cross half of the cross. At the same time, I will also ambush a group of troops on the north bank. When the enemy is halfway through, the ambushing troops on the north bank will also attack at the same time, attacking both sides of the two sides to seal the enemy's front and back. In addition to being drowned, they are killed by our two ambushing troops on the north and south sides."
The generals looked carefully for a while, and then gradually became excited.
Xian Yu Zhongtong looked brilliant and stroked his beard and smiled: "Although I don't know the art of fighting formations, I can see Gu Jie's advancement and mobilization in moderation, and the front and back echoed, and the ghosts and gods were unpredictable. If this plan is sold, 100,000 foreign troops will be wiped out in the Yingshui River. Gu Jie already has the capital of the commander, and admire it."
Chang Zhong echoed: "The most wonderful thing is that the master eliminated the strengths of this alien army and horse. The northern alien tribes are good at charging cavalry, but the master chose to ambush on both sides of the Yingshui River. In this way, this military army and horse are completely unable to play their strengths and are still on the ferry, so where can they charge? Haha, the master's plan is very good, and this ambush will be completely wiped out."
Gu Qing smiled and said, "The war has not started yet. Everything is just my deployment. I don't know whether it works or not. Everyone should do their best."
Turning his head, North Korea Yu Zhongtong smiled, Gu Qing said, "Uncle Xianyu, since the Shu army and the Hexi army soldiers are under my command, I will treat you equally. At that time, I made an appointment with the soldiers of the Anxi army that one head of the enemy would be rewarded with fifty cents, and one head of the enemy camp above would be rewarded with one hundred cents. I also asked Uncle Xianyu to convey my reward order to the Shu army. The Shu army and the Hexi army soldiers all followed this example, and I, Gu Qing, would never go back on my word."
Xian Yu Zhongtong was shocked: "A reward of killing the enemy's head level... fifty text?"
Gu Qing nodded: "That's right, the sons are not deceived. The Anxi Army has fought several times in succession, and every reward is fulfilled."
Xian Yu Zhongtong was uneasy: "My nephew is such a big deal. No wonder the Anxi army broke into a great reputation after entering the pass. I have the urge to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy and earn a few rewards."
The generals laughed when they heard this.
Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I have trouble saying that I am too hard to say. Now I am not able to make ends meet. It is already very difficult to raise such a large army. The reward money has made me even worse..."
Li Siye grinned and laughed: "Your Majesty, don't make any trouble. If you delay the reward for a while, the soldiers will not complain."
All the generals agreed.
But Gu Qing shook his head and said, "There is no joke in the army. You must do what you say. If the commander of the first army loses his credibility, the soldiers will not submit to me in the future."
Looking around the generals, Gu Qing suddenly shouted loudly: "Now, all the generals are obeying our military orders."
The generals smiled solemnly. After a neat sound of armor leaves colliding, the generals saluted one after another: "Abide by the military orders of the Duke."
Gu Qing said slowly: "Chang Zhong, where is Liu Hongbo?"
The two left the line and shouted: "The last one will be there."
"You two lead 30,000 cavalry in Anxi Army and set up an ambush ten miles away on the south bank of the Ying River. You can attack after the enemy halfway through the Ying River."
"The last one will obey the order!"
"Xianyu Jieshuan, Quhuan..."
When the bend circle came out, Xian Yu Zhongtong also bowed to Gu Qing.
"Please ask the two of you to lead the Shu army and the Hexi army forty thousand, and lie 20 miles away from the north bank of the Ying River. Remember to avoid the enemy's scouts, and don't let them discover it. When the enemy is halfway through, you can attack them. Take the South Bank of Fire as a signal. If the South Bank of Fire starts, it will be the time for you to attack."
The two received the order.
Although Xian Yu Zhongtong was on par with Gu Qing and was both a military governor, Xian Yu Zhongtong still had to obey Gu Qing's military orders in the coalition commander's tent, which the two had agreed long ago.
"Where is Sun Jiushi?"
Sun Jiushi, who had been hiding in the corner, responded to the sound.
Gu Qing looked at him with a smile and said, "This time, let me see the majesty of the Sharp Shooting Camp, how about it?"
Sun Jiushi said excitedly: "I will definitely live up to my high expectations, otherwise I will come to see you."
"Okay, the 5,000 troops from the Sharp Shooting Camp are lined up five miles behind Changzhong's troops to wait for the enemy. If any enemy breaks through the defense line of Changzhong's troops, can you leave their lives for me?"
Sun Jiushi raised his chest and shouted loudly: "I will obey the order!"
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Don't lose my face when the first battle of the Sharp Shooting Camp."
"Don't worry, my soldiers of the Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-Sci-S
Gu Qing looked around everyone and said, "This battle is not just a fight against rebellion, but a national war! The northern aliens tried to take advantage of the situation and rob and disrupt my country when our Tang Dynasty was weak. In this battle, I will wipe out all the 100,000 alien enemy troops on the bank of Yingshui. It is famous for my Tang Dynasty and promote the power of our Tang army, so that they know that the weak Tang Dynasty is not something that these foreign barbarians can afford!"
The generals saluted excitedly and shouted in unison: "Kill--!"
The roar reached the outside of the commander's tent, which shocked the jackdaw on the branches. In an instant, the murderous aura in the Anxi Army camp was filled with the wilderness, and thousands of beasts were hiding outside the camp.
In a camp not far from the coach's tent, Ge Shuhan was lying on the bed. Hearing the sound of killing like a mountain collapsed and cracked the ground, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
