The battle of the day ended.

Sun Xiurong’s big tent.

Sun Xiurong, Jia Dan, Sun Xiaoke, Yu Que and Su Xijie immediately started a meeting to summarize shortly after the battle.

"Protector, everyone"

The first speaker was Su Xijie.

"According to the clothing, the first attack today should be the Gelulu, who temporarily surrendered to the Uighurs, and Basimi and governed the three ministries of Gas. These three ministries are numerous, and it is estimated that the number of people in the army south is the largest. The spies from Renyongdu also discovered through the telescope that the number of people in these three ministries accounts for at least half."

"In other words, each of these three chapters is about 5,000 people, and they are named the outer nine surnames. By the way, Jiegas did not even enter the outer nine surnames, but was regarded as a wilderness by the Uighurs."

"According to the information we have obtained in recent years, we stayed in the three parts of the Great Lake area south of Mount Tangnu, west of Mount Wude, north of Mount Jinshan, and east of the Sayan Mountains. The Geluo people still had about 30,000 accounts, the Basimi people had about 20,000 accounts, and the governors of Gas had about 15,000 accounts."

"Although there are many Uighurs, they do not have an absolute advantage compared with these three divisions. According to the regulations of the Uighurs, the Dingkou of the Khanate was divided into three or six or nine levels."

"The nine inner surnames are higher than the nine outer surnames. Among the nine outer surnames, the Uighurs' enemy Basimir people have the lowest status, and the Geluo people, who are not Tiel, have a lower status and are at the bottom."

"Among the nine remaining surnames, the DuoLan Ge tribe, which has a relatively complete tribe, is the highest among the remaining tribes."

"Among the nine surnames, the Yaoluoge tribe is naturally the supreme. Medicine should not be geese, Gesa, and the next step is the song. These three parts are deeply entangled with the Yaoluoge tribe, either from Yaoluoge, or long-term intermarriage, and the remaining tribes are again."

"The Uighur Khanate claims to have 200,000 households and a million dings. The three tribes of the Geluolu just mentioned account for more than 30%, which made Yao Luo Ge very alert. It is naturally a established national policy to consume the young and strong men from the war. Whether it is against us or other enemies, it is like this."

"According to my observation, the enemy has roughly lost about 2,000 people today, and the three divisions have 15,000 people, just over 10%..."

"Then why did the enemy stop suddenly after only attacking for a while?" Sun Xiurong inserted.

"Majority Protector, I saw Ye Hu's camp in the telescope. There was also a lookout stand in the middle of the camp, with several people standing on it. They absolutely couldn't imagine that we could see it clearly. Although it was also very vague, the Ministry of Justice judged that Ye Hu must be above it."

"It was the first time that they had seen our army's firearms. Most of them were shocked and did not dare to attack again. However, after returning to the tent to discuss countermeasures, the plan to continue to consume the three divisions of Kalulu will definitely be implemented..."

"Then how many times will he take to stop based on your judgment?" This time it was Sun Xiaoke who inserted it.

Su Xijie thought for a while, "Although the Mobei tribes are not afraid of death, as long as they are people, they will not be afraid of death. Besides, facing your unknown firearms, even so, the situation of a thousand-man team as today's large-scale attack will probably last for two days. By then, the youth and strong men in the three ministries will consume 30%."

"Thirty percent means that one out of every three loses. Such losses will make the leaders of the third division frightened. However, after losing about five or six thousand people, the total number of Ye Hu's Yaoluoge tribe and other cavalrymen in the nine tribes in the foreign tribe will have an advantage over the three divisions."

"At this time, if you are oppressing them to fight with harsh commands, it will definitely be counterproductive..."

Sun Xiurong suddenly asked, "If you are Ye Hu, what measures will be most beneficial to the inner nine surnames?"

Jia Dan replied: "Weakening 30% is far from enough. Half is at least, but it will not continue after half of the weakening. If I were Ye Hu, I would not order the three departments to invest another 2,000 people a day, but to invest more people at one time, and consume them in one day."

"Because they have spent this day on the battlefield and have not had the chance to return to their respective camps to summarize, it is naturally impossible to cause the morale of the army to shake. After half of the consumption, the Uighurs will definitely be reluctant to leave. After two days of battle, the Uighurs will most likely find out the reality of our army and will definitely change their combat strategies."

Sun Xiurong smiled and said, "Then what do you think Ye Hu will do?"

Jia Dan said: "It is said that in Yaoluoge, Ye Hu is the leader among them, far above Yidijian and others. In two days, he can not only consume a large amount of unstable tribes in the Khanate, but also understand the reality of our army. Why not do it?"

"Our army's only support is the low wall, but the most effective thing about our army's artillery is shot. When the enemy approaches, it can be killed in large quantities. However, if Ye Hu rushed forward with the old, weak, sick and disabled in the cavalry, he could breathe for only two or three miles."

"According to what the ministries in recent years, when the tribes in the north of Mobei were dispatched, in addition to carrying a large number of elite troops, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled will also bring a lot of them. If these people were in normal times, they would definitely be the candidates to protect the camp, food, supplies and food routes, and they would exist as people who fill the gullies in wartime."

Speaking of this, Jia Dan was also shocked and thought to himself: "The tribes in Mobei are all barbarians, and they have no kindness at all. It is appropriate to use the elderly, weak, sick and disabled to fill the gullies. However, the Thunder Ye Army under the command of the Grand Duke is a freak, and Dingkou is mainly barbarians, but it adopts the regulations of the Tang Dynasty. By the way, it is even more terrifying than the regulations of the Tang Dynasty. The bravery of the Hu people and the regulations of the Tang people are both outstanding, and they are still above it. Looking at the world, how can there be enemies?"

Suddenly thinking that everyone's eyes were on him at this time, he quickly continued to say: "This time, according to the reconnaissance of Renyongdu and Yuhou Army, the enemy did not carry a large number of cattle and sheep, which is very unusual. Obviously, the enemy is also preparing to decide the victory and defeat with our army in a short time. Therefore, the three divisions will not consume more than three days first, because although the arrival of a large number of Sogdians also allowed them to have a certain amount of food available, but unlike our army, the food and fodder will definitely not be sufficient."

"After that, let the old and weak cavalry take the lead, absorb our army's artillery fire and crossbows, and then the elites follow closely. When they reach the low wall, they can suddenly jump off the war horse and fight with our army..."

"But our army's last shotgun was not pretending," Sun Xiaoke retorted.

Jia Dan nodded. The prime minister of the later Tang Dynasty had been trained by Sun Xiurong to become an excellent staff officer. He said: "It depends on the usual training effect of the enemy's standing army. If they can truly deserve the title of elite, they will not be afraid of the accumulation of shots and kill them in the gap between our army's artillery."

Sun Xiurong nodded, "What else?"

"Also, since there are already a large number of infantry in front of us, the cavalry were killed and killed by our crossbows, artillery, crossbows, and shotguns, and there must be a large layer of corpses of people and horses on the ground, and the remaining Uighurs can naturally crawl from the ground. As long as the cavalry, who are not afraid of life and death, can resist our army's counterattack near the low wall, even if they have a moment of counterattack, they will succeed."

"Because, once the enemy breaks into the back of the low wall, the first target to be dealt with must be artillery."

"Papapapapapapa", Sun Xiurong clapped his hands and praised what Jia Dan said, "Jia Dan said right. Don't underestimate Ye Hu. He is a real warrior. If the Khan of the Uighur Khanate is moving to the ground at this time, and Ye Hu is his general, and the two brothers live in harmony, even the Master Guardian will not dare to make this plan in front of him."

"What a pity..."

Sun Xiurong stood up and thought of a scene in history.

In real history, Ye Hu was affectionately called "Prince Ye Hu" by the Tang Dynasty. That was because Ye Hu had defeated the elite rebels with the 5,000 Uighur cavalry, and even the Khitans returned in front of them. Ye Luohe was the most elite Longyou Army in the Tang Dynasty's border army at this time (who faced the Tubo people for a long time and fought constantly and had the strongest combat power), which can be seen from this.

If you want to win a big battle with just one cavalry, it is absolutely impossible to rely on bravery alone. If a cavalry wants to win a big victory, the arrangement of the formation is extremely important, and it is also necessary to require generals to make adjustments at any time on the ever-changing battlefield.

This shows that after Ye Hu's death, the Emperor who succeeded him suffered repeated defeats in the battle against the rebels. Ye Hu was a real commander and a general who was extremely trusted by the cavalry, otherwise he would not have achieved such a great record.

"Everyone, everything is defeated before you can win. If it is true as Jia Dan said, the candidate to face the enemy cavalry in the end will be very critical."

Speaking of this, he looked at Yuque, his cheap cousin in this life.

Yu Que thought for a while, "The Great Protector, with a row of Mo Jian soldiers at the front, and a row of tiger spear soldiers followed him, but he was eager to eliminate the enemy's hard attack!"

Sun Xiurong nodded and asked, "What is the intention here?"

This is what Sun Xiurong often instilled in his subordinates after coming to this world, that is, he must respond quickly when things happen, and understand the truth or logic behind it.

Over the long run, the unique culture of the Saiye Army will naturally be formed.

Although Yu Que understood what Sun Xiurong meant, he couldn't think of it for a moment. In the end, Jia Dan said: "Major Protector, is the key point in the decisive battle between our army and the Uighurs lies in the low wall, and it is impossible to leave the low wall for a moment?"

"Yes," Sun Xiurong replied firmly, "Our army is different from all today's army, that is, it can make full use of long-range weapons such as artillery and crossbows, and give them a lot of damage before the enemy approaches, so that even if they can approach the low wall, they will be very morale."

"From then on, even if our army is in close contact, it will have an advantage. Once we are in close contact, our army will definitely suffer a large number of casualties. Don't want to line up your formation in the camp to fight the enemy in a dignified battle. It depends entirely on everyone's bravery. In this regard, our Ye Army still has the upper hand, but the advantage is not great."

"What's more, when the number of people is far inferior to that of the enemy, the short wall must be protected!"

"So, when the locals approached a 1 meter range of the low wall, the Modao and the Tiger Spearmen must ensure that the low wall is always controlled by our army!"

"Major Protector", Sun Xiaoke suddenly inserted, "If the enemy also understands this, what should we do if we use torches to burn the straw bag?"

Sun Xiurong felt a little nervous and thought to himself: "It's not that he mentioned it, he almost forgot this."

Then he asked, "What do you think?"

Sun Xiaoke said: "The Protector is cold and the ground is cold right now. Our army is at least three miles away from the enemy camp. So just water the low wall. In this weather, a thick layer of ice will soon form on the low wall. At this time, the enemy will not be afraid even if there is fire."

"Also," Sun Xiaoke was also a little excited. He was happy that he could think of this problem first, "If I were Ye Hu and were preparing to use torches to destroy the low walls, it would not be done in the daytime, because holding the torch during the day will definitely attract our attention, but it will be different at night."

"You mean that if the enemy wants to implement a fire plan, it will definitely be at night?"

“Yes, probably so”
