"Replacing defense with offense? It's simply ridiculous." Qu Tutong sneered, with a look of disdain on his face. At the age of forty-six, he said to the thirty-eight-year-old Yin Shi in a tone of lecturing the younger generation.

The teacher said: "All the Turks grew up on horses. If we defend ourselves at all levels according to dangers, we still have a slight chance of winning; but when it comes to fighting in the wild, our proficiency in riding and shooting is comparable to that of the Sui army."

sharp

Too many. Now there are only 20,000 soldiers in Ganzhou, which is a full 280,000 soldiers compared to the Turkic army. If you take the initiative to attack and consume all these soldiers, the Turkic army can take advantage of the opportunity and take advantage of it.

Can General Goyin afford to supply the state with food, use the siege equipment in the treasury as weapons, and wage war on both the east and west sides at the same time? You don't understand anything at all."

Zhang Xutuo was the Sima in charge of the military affairs of ten states, so the matter of consolidating the military power in Ganzhou fell to Bingcao Yinshishi. During this period, the imperial court did not remove Qu Tutong, the general manager of Ganzhou.

Naturally, they were unwilling to give up their military power, and the two of them had fought for it. Now that they had the opportunity, Qu Tutong started to sarcastically mock him.

"The funny one is General Qu Tu. The one who doesn't understand anything is also General Qu Tu." Although Yin Shishi is loyal and honest, it doesn't mean he is weak and can be bullied. He looked at Qu Tu Tong with a strange face and said: "I

At the age of fifteen, he followed his father to attack Yuchi Jiong, and later defeated Turkic invasions in Youzhou many times, and he and King Zhao of Wei conquered Gao Baoning in the north several times.

I intercepted and supported the Turkic troops several times. When King Wei Zhao became the commander, I always followed him. My Yinshi division participated in every battle he commanded. I fought against the Turks at least a hundred times. What do you think?

Don’t I understand the Turks? I curiously asked General Qutu: Have you seen more Turks in your life than I have killed?”

Yang Shanhui next to him burst out laughing.

We have been together for such a long time, of course he knew that Qu Tutong had been serving as Zuo Xunwei's cavalry general in Beijing before. Because they entered the official service too early, and the Sui Dynasty was a dynasty with many famous generals, he had no chance to make a difference in the army.

, later asked for permission to be released, but was ordered by the emperor to go to Liangzhou to mount a

When he inspected the herds in the field, he caught a large number of corrupt officials and made great achievements. Yang Jian felt that this man was quite upright, so he simply made him the herdsman of the Longyou group, although soon he was joined by Youwu Houche.

He is the general of cavalry and the general manager of Ganzhou, but that is a side job. His main job is to manage horses.

And all the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty were able to lead troops in wars. If you pick any civil servant from the court, you can count his numerous achievements. In such a court, there is no need for people who specialize in managing horses.

Soldier?

So even though Qu Tutong was much older than them, he had never fought a single battle. What was ridiculous was that he was actually pretending to be there and teaching a lesson to the Yin Shishi who had experienced hundreds of battles. This was not self-inflicted.

Humiliating?

"That's enough!" Zhang Xutuo, blushing, slammed the table and shouted, "We are already a big boss, so why fight?"

Qu Tutong's face turned red, his chest heaved with anger, and he almost lost his temper.

Zhang Dinghe looked up at the ceiling and continued to think.

Zhang Xutuo took a deep breath and asked calmly: "General Yin, please continue."

"Here!" Master Yinshi saluted and said: "The Turks are really not as scary as they imagined. They have no loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Even when the chiefs and khans are weak, they are eager to replace them immediately. Their purpose of fighting is to seek revenge.

Wealth, and those who seek wealth also realize that they have not played hard

Fighting, the will and determination to fight to the death are all supported by a momentum. After this momentum, they will judge whether it is worth fighting for. As long as the war continues to be stalemate, they will gradually become afraid of death. This is a personal emotion; secondly,

Each tribe has its own plan. Because the grassland believes in the law of the jungle, the strong will eat the strong.

For the sake of respect, they are cruel to their enemies and to their own people. If a warrior of a tribe is killed in battle, the tribe will either be annexed by other tribes or divided up by several tribes. Therefore, when the chiefs of each tribe fight, they all have the intention of preserving their strength.

Heart, this makes the warriors in each department more anxious to protect themselves.

A few points. To put it simply, the Turks are a group of bandits who bully good and fear evil. As long as you are more ruthless and evil than them, they will be afraid. Of course, Bujia Khan and other chiefs’ soldiers are not like this.

He is well-fed and well-clothed, and he has the heart to say to the great chief, "A scholar who is a confidant will die."

"It means that our main enemy is Bujia Khan's headquarters, right?" Zhang Xutuo asked.

"That's right." Master Yin Shi glanced at Zhang Dinghe and said: "General Zhang has already mentioned the situation of the Turks and various tribes, so I won't go into details. What I want to add is that the more of them there are, the more people there are.

, the more complex the source, a team of 10,000 people may be composed of dozens of small tribes, and tribes are wary of each other, hoping to take advantage of each other.

If everyone wants to suffer less, how can they work together to fight? Even Bujia Khan, with the complicated sources of soldiers, is reluctant to let his own troops fight to the death, and is eager for others to die.

.So in a sense, the more Turks there are, the easier the war will be. If only Bujia Khan’s headquarters comes, it will be an endless and hard fight."

After saying that, Master Yin Shi smiled and said: "In the years when I fought with King Wei Zhao, unless it was necessary, we generally did not use miscellaneous soldiers and only attacked the headquarters of the Great Khan. As long as we killed and disrupted their formation, even if there were hundreds of thousands of Turks

A large army will be defeated like a mountain. We have used this method countless times, and it can be said to be a good way to defeat the enemy."

"That's true!" After Zhang Dinghe Jian Yinshishi finished speaking, he added in a solemn tone: "It's not that the Turks don't know how to attack cities. When we are learning the riding and archery skills that the grasslands are best at, the grassland people are also learning.

Our art of war, our methods of attack and defense. Moreover, during the hundreds of years of war, a large number of Han people fled to Rouran and Turks fled. Almost all of these people were treated politely by the great khans of the two grassland dynasties. They did not

He only gave advice to the foreigners, and also taught the foreigners sinology, strategy, and military art, and made great contributions to the creation of Rouran and the Turks; in addition, Gao Yang's son Gao Shaoyi led a large number of craftsmen to surrender to the Turks, and Gao Baoning's heavy troops also stayed in the Turks.

Craftsmen are all valued by the Turks. So if we continue to look at the Turks from the past and say that they are not good at attacking cities, sooner or later we will suffer big losses."

When Qu Tutong saw that Zhang Dinghe had also overturned all his assumptions, he was even more angry, but he stopped talking. After all, he had never been on the battlefield, how could he compare with these people who crawled out from the dead?

?I secretly decided in my heart that I must fight for the chance to fight, lest I be underestimated by these bastards.

Especially the bastard Yin Shishi, who is loyal and treacherous. It was he who had the idea, so Yang Shuang burned the tomb of the ancestors of the Turks and successfully led the extremely angry Turk soldiers to Yanran Mountain to die.

Zhang Xutuo knew that he had little combat experience, and the targets he was fighting were not Turks. In this regard, Zhang Dinghe, the Yinshi master who had been hanging out with Yang Shuang, was definitely better than him. He thought for a long time and looked at

Master Yin Shi asked: "What did General Yin think about using offense instead of defense? How many soldiers are needed?"

"Our military strength is at a huge disadvantage, and with the strategic location of Ganzhou guarded, the Turks would never have imagined that we would dare to take the initiative. The general believes that we should recruit an elite force that is good at fighting before the Turks besiege the city.

The cavalry are sent out, staring at the Turkic army like wolves. As long as they get a fighting chance, they will bite off a piece of their flesh, and then retreat with one blow, making them defenseless. The number of people should not be too many, three thousand is enough, but they must be elite

Among the elite.”

Zhang Xutuo frowned and said, "Three thousand? Isn't it too little?"

Although the pressure on Datong City is huge, the attack surface in front of the city is only so wide. Even if the enemy army has millions of troops, there is not enough terrain for them to set up their formation, so they can only come in queues instead of swarming up.

.As long as he withstands the Turks' initial offensive, Zhang Xutuo can obtain a steady stream of soldiers from the rear, and the pressure will become smaller and smaller. Based on the majesty of the fortified city and the new soldiers coming from Zhangye, he can even out the troops.

Five thousand elite soldiers.

"Three thousand is relatively small, but the last general can contact the King of Wei. If the two armies merge, it will be different." Yin Shishi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter even if you can't contact the King of Wei. Just because the last general

The main purpose is to harass the enemy's rear and buy time for the generals and reinforcements, rather than to attack hundreds of thousands of enemy troops."

"Okay!" Zhang Xutuo was not an indecisive person, so he immediately said: "Then I will leave this group of strange soldiers to General Yin."

"I will obey your orders." Master Yinshi accepted the order with his hands raised.

Zhang Xutuo looked at Qu Tutong, who had an ugly face. He felt that it was not good for Ganzhou General Manager to sit on the bench and should give him something to do, so he shouted: "General Qu Tutong."

Qu Tutong, who was thinking about how to fight for the opportunity, heard this. His eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up and saluted Zhang Xutuo with anticipation and said, "The general will be here."

Zhang Xutuo glanced at Qu Tutong and ordered: "Prepare horses for General Yin."

"(⊙o⊙)" Qu Tutong was stunned.
