Chapter 1467: A strategy to lure the enemy
Ji Rui said it with certainty because of her own considerations.
Deng Mingyuan is indeed not an impulsive and reckless person, as he can prove in the previous research process.
Usually he would invest a small force for testing, and at the same time he would let the Western Region warriors adapt to siege warfare, and then look for opportunities to send a large force for a direct attack.
He is from the Central Plains and understands this mode of warfare better.
The prerequisite for the success of luring the enemy is the enemy's contempt. If a commander from the Western Regions is the commander-in-chief, he will naturally have contempt in his heart.
But it is not certain that Deng Mingyuan is the commander-in-chief.
"Damn it!"
Ye Wushuang couldn't help but cursed angrily: "If I have the chance, I will definitely take him to his father's mausoleum and let him tell his father in person what evil deeds he has done to this country!"
"Originally we were not sure, but now that we have reinforcements, there is a possibility of success."
Ji Rui said: "Shanling Pass is the last pass ahead of us. Now that Jin Yue has led his army to retreat, the enemy will inevitably pursue us."
"The enemy is no easier than us. They have a large number of troops, a large supply gap, and complicated emotions in a foreign country. If they delay for a long time, their morale will inevitably be shaken. They need a big victory, or they need to get the wealth and beauties they want.
.”
Ji Rui analyzed.
During the battle, you can capture Western Region warriors and get a lot of information from them.
"And in their eyes, we are at the end of our game."
Ye Wushuang said: "This is the premise of luring the enemy."
"Of course we have to use some means."
Ji Rui's beautiful eyes flashed and she said: "When we retreat, we can create false impressions to lure them into submission, pretending to be panic, causing chaos in the camp, not closing the tents, not removing the cooking stoves..."
"If you don't withdraw the pots and stoves, you can also arrange them deliberately. The enemy can judge the size of our army by the number of pots and stoves."
Ye Wushuang's beautiful eyes lit up.
In comparison, Anxi's army was not that large to begin with, so showing the enemy's weakness would definitely achieve the effect of luring the enemy.
The size of the army can indeed be inferred from the pots and stoves.
The Anxi army has 30,000 people, but if the enemy army is mistakenly thought to have only 10,000 people, then even if they know that there is a conspiracy and ambush, they will probably break in directly.
Because I don't care at all.
"Where should we choose as the ambush site?"
"Didn't you already choose it?"
Both of them pointed to a place name on the military map almost at the same time.
This place is called Nanyi. It is a mountain pass and a valley road. There are high mountains on both sides and a narrow road in the middle. It is a natural ambush place.
Ye Wushuang said: "You had already asked the Zhenbei Army who came to support to rest and station in Nanyi. It turns out you had a plan in advance."
"This is also your idea, otherwise, how could you agree with me to let the Zhenbei Army rest and recuperate in Nanyi?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They had a tacit understanding for a long time, but they had never spoken out before.
Using yourself as bait, the enemy will never expect that they will have support, so this trick of luring the enemy will definitely succeed.
The only person who is uncertain is the enemy commander Deng Mingyuan. This man is indeed very cautious.
The two of them decided on a plan.
If the strategy of luring the enemy is successful, even if it cannot severely damage the enemy, it can still bring the strength of the two armies closer. In just one battle, the Zhenbei Army who came to support can go directly north.
The two of them were thinking more about the pressure from the Kled tribe.
"When luring the enemy, you can use the method of reducing the focus to lure the enemy."
Ji Rui continued: "If the enemy army clearly knows that our army is decreasing, they will think that our army is also decreasing...and they will all flee."
"clever!"
Ye Wushuang did not hesitate to praise him.
"Fortunately you married in Daning."
What she thought was that if Ji Rui was in Wei, she would definitely become Daning's enemy.
The contact during this period of time allowed her to know how deep Ji Rui's scheme was.
Ji Rui spread her hands and said, "Even if I am useless in Wei State, I will not be your Majesty's opponent."
Ye Wushuang could not deny it.
"Report!"
While the two were chatting, an urgent report arrived.
"The frontline war commander has sent an urgent report. Please take a look at it."
After receiving the military report presented, Ye Wushuang opened it directly.
"Has Shanling Pass been breached?"
"yes."
Ye Wushuang said calmly: "The enemy concentrated their forces to attack and launched a decisive battle. Under pressure, after exhausting the defense supplies, all the soldiers guarding the gate retreated."
This result was not unexpected, it was within their expectations.
"Um?"
Ye Wushuang frowned slightly, and then said in surprise: "The enemy has changed their commander!"
"Change of commander?"
"This is what Jin Yue wrote in the military newspaper. It shouldn't be wrong."
Ye Wushuang handed over the military report.
"This battle has seen that the enemy's commander has been changed. He is being defended by many golden-armored warriors. We don't know who it is yet. It seems that they came from the Western Region, but there is no change in the size of the enemy's army..."
It's written in great detail.
Ye Wushuang said: "Could it be that the Western Region was dissatisfied with the progress of the war, so they sent a new commander?"
"It should be."
Ji Rui sneered: "Deng Mingyuan is from the Central Plains. He is indeed capable and can reach his current position, but it is absolutely impossible to gain real trust. How can the Western Regions have any influence on a person who leads an army to attack his own country?"
Unreserved trust?”
"Just wait and see, his end will not be good."
Ji Rui's analysis is absolutely correct, and she also has a clear understanding of human nature.
"It seems that our plan to lure the enemy will be successful."
There was a smile on her face.
The enemy's new commander-in-chief immediately led his entire army to attack Shanling Pass as soon as he arrived.
The military reporting process is written in great detail.
To continue to attack even after several waves of attacks were repelled shows the character of this commander.
He was eager to achieve results, which was exactly what they wanted to see.
"Stable."
Ye Wushuang continued: "It seems that Deng Mingyuan has lost military power."
"Someone is coming!"
She immediately called for the soldiers.
"Immediately go to Nanyi to send a message to General Bai Shaoyuan, asking him not to continue to advance, but to rest on the spot. We will send another message to ambush both sides of the road with bows and arrows. We will lure the enemy there..."
"This is an urgent order, please send it as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
The soldiers took the order and left.
Ji Rui said: "It's time for us to make arrangements here. When Jin Yue withdraws, the whole army will retreat."
"Um."
Both of them felt relaxed and full of expectations for this battle.
Preparations have already begun here.
In the rear, under the leadership of Dagan Hamu, the Western Region Army has passed Shanling Pass and is pursuing them with all their strength.
The armies of the Western Regions were all cavalry, and their marching speed was not slow. However, due to the lack of food and grass supplies, it was difficult for them to keep up physically.
Daganhamu has come out of the depression of attacking Shanling Pass.
He is in a good mood.
After passing Shanling Pass, there is no fortress pass in front, unless the enemy retreats to Pingzhang Pass, but that has already reached the northern gate of Daning. The field of vision is wider, it is easier to grab supplies, and they can also communicate with Beiyi
Ugly union.
