Eight hundred and thirtieth eight chapters great changes in the war situation
In order to achieve this goal, Gongsun Guang supported his younger brother Gongsun Wen to do business with the Jizhou Army, achieving a superficial peace and making the people of Jizhou have a good impression of them. If this continues, it may not be impossible to find
to the right opportunity.
However, all this was in vain because Yiquxiao listened to He Suihuan's words and sent troops to control the county.
Beidi suddenly sent out troops, with hundreds of thousands of cavalry. If Ji Wang Tang Ao was not alert, then he would not be worthy of his current territory and status.
It can be said that the dispatch of troops to Beidi completely canceled Gongsun Guang's plan, but he was not the king of Beidi, so he couldn't stop it. Now that it's fine, seeing Tang Ao react and come with an army to kill, I just remembered for a moment.
How to fight the enemy, it's too late in the end.
There is anger in their hearts, but now they are grasshoppers on a rope. Once Yi Quxiao does not exist, the Gongsun family will not exist either.
Even for his own family, Gongsun Guang must fully cooperate with Yiquxiao at this time. When he saw his eyes sweeping towards him, he said: "Reinforcements cannot be sent, Muji City
Now it is a powder keg. No matter how many people are sent, they will never come back. Their existence is nothing more than delaying the speed and time of the Jizhou Army's attack. As long as we can hold on until September (all based on the lunar calendar), then we will
The heavy snowfall forced the Jizhou Army to retreat."
"Yes." Yi Quxiao nodded when he heard this. This was originally what they had discussed before, and naturally it would not be changed. This He Suishi is just an abandoned son they threw out. It doesn't matter whether he lives or lives, as long as he can get more
If he persists for a period of time, he will achieve his goal. But what he is worried about now is another thing, that is, what to do if Muji City can no longer withstand it.
"We don't need to send reinforcements. If this happens, Muji City may not be able to hold on for long. By then, the Jizhou Army will have to go north. Are we going to defend Shile City?"
When Yi Quxiao said this, Gongsun Wen immediately shook his head and said: "No, we absolutely cannot defend the city. What happened in Muji City has told us that the artillery of the Jizhou Army is very powerful, and we cannot occupy the city."
to anything cheap.”
"If we don't defend the city, are we going to kill them?" Yi Quxiao didn't understand. It was planned to defend Muji City first and then Shile City, but now it suddenly has to be changed. He also didn't understand.
.
Gongsun Wen changed his previous plan as a last resort. He had never thought that the artillery of the Jizhou Army would be so powerful. He originally thought that it could only hit two or three miles. In that case, there was nothing terrible. After all, Shile City
Unlike other cities, this is a city wall built with huge rocks, so there is no problem with its sturdiness.
But it's different when the opponent has air troops. They can drop sky mines at any time and throw them into the city. That is an unbearable existence.
Speaking of this matter, Gongsun Wen was also a little speechless. This King Ji could actually control birds. Who taught him this skill? This must be too powerful.
Of course, now is not the time to think about this matter. Gongsun Wen continued: "The opponent has artillery and birds that can throw down thunder to help. If we defend the city, we will suffer a lot. So the plan must be changed. We
We have to fight it out so that the Jizhou Army's advantage cannot be used."
"Fight it out." Sure enough, that was the answer. Yi Quxiao seemed to understand something.
"Yes, just fight it out. Our advantage is that we have a lot of cavalry, and our warriors are very skilled in equestrian skills. As long as we are in an open area, we can give full play to our greatest advantage. On the contrary, the artillery of the Jizhou Army is in such a situation
The power that can be exerted in the environment is very limited. Only in this way can we severely damage the enemy, let the Jizhou Army know how powerful we are, and persist until the heavy snow comes. Even if the time is right, it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory."
Gongsun Wen said in an affirmative tone, and then pointed to a map hanging in the hall and said: "The location has been chosen, and it's right here - Alashan. The terrain here is open and flat.
Moreover, there is a river passing through it and the water source is abundant. It is a good place for a large number of cavalry to be stationed. At the same time, this is the only place where Muji City must pass to our Shile City. If we guard here, the Jizhou Army's army will not be able to get through, even if there are small ones.
The troops can take a detour, and if supplies cannot be sent, we don't have to worry about the pressure they will put on us."
After saying this, everyone in the hall came forward and came to the map. They looked at the terrain of Ala Mountain and commented one by one.
Speaking of which, everyone has been to Alashan and is naturally familiar with the terrain there. But before, they were just thinking about defending the city, so no one paid attention to it. Now that the strategy needs to be changed, Alashan must also be taken seriously.
stand up.
After another discussion, everyone made the final decision, which was to send out all the cavalry. Only 10,000 infantrymen needed to be left in Shile City to defend the city. Then they all went to the Ala Mountain to set up a formation, no matter what.
The Jizhou Army cannot be allowed to fight to the foot of Shile City to take advantage of their artillery.
As for Muji City's request for reinforcements, you can agree to them first, but not send troops. In the final analysis, it is to give the other party hope so that they can persist for a while, which will greatly relieve the pressure on the main cavalry.
After the meeting in front of the palace ended, Yi Quxiao personally called the He Sui cavalry who requested reinforcements and assured them that the reinforcements would arrive soon, but before that, He Suihuan had to hold on for a while.
The goal was achieved, and the three cavalry left happily. Shortly afterwards, a large number of cavalry came out of Shile City. All this was seen by Longya and Anxiang's team members, and soon the news was sent to Tang Ao
in hands.
"Is the Beidi Army finally taking the bait? Very good, inform Feng Xun that they must be prepared to severely damage the Beidi Cavalry with one blow, laying a better foundation for the subsequent attack on Shile City.
The three cavalrymen returned to Muji City "safely" and told what the king had said personally, which made He Suihuan very happy. "Okay, okay, as long as there are reinforcements, the next thing will be easy. In this way, it will be done soon."
Tell the warriors this good news, and we will have a dinner today so that the warriors can eat well."
As soon as he heard that there was going to be a dinner, He Suiqing hurriedly came forward and said, "Brother, a lot of food in the city was bombed. There is not much left now, so we should save some."
"Why save money? Reinforcements will be here soon. They will definitely bring a lot of food by then. There is nothing to worry about. Okay, let's go down and pass the order." Seeing his brother acting dictatorially again, He Suiqing thought very much.
He said that he was not optimistic that the king would really send reinforcements. When He Sui was asked to defend Muji City, he had some objections. This was obviously the Yiqu family, Gongsun family and Cheng family who wanted to consume the He Sui family, but
Only his elder brother thought this was an opportunity to make great achievements and jumped at it.
Facts have proved that there is nothing good going on in Shoumuji City. Now that they are saying that reinforcements will be sent, He Suiqing doesn't believe it in his heart, but he dare not say it because once everyone knows that there are no reinforcements, the morale of the army will be greatly reduced.
If you are hit, no one knows what will happen.
This day was naturally a good day for the He Sui cavalry in Muji City, where they could have a big meal. They all received news that reinforcements would be coming, and they were all very happy. As for the Jizhou military leader outside the city
In the camp, a group of staff officers were making various ambush plans, until suddenly another news came, and all the staff officers involuntarily stopped their actions.
The Beidi people had no intention of rushing to the aid of Muji City. Instead, they set up camp at the foot of Ala Mountain, more than a hundred miles away from Shile City, and set up a battle formation.
When the news was delivered to Tang Ao by Long Ya, he happened to be in the staff tent. Naturally, everyone knew the news. For a while, everyone focused on Ala Mountain, and then everyone was thoughtful.
state.
The situation is already clear. Beidi has no intention of supporting Muji City at all. On the contrary, they are preparing to block the progress of the Jizhou Army at the foot of Ala Mountain, hoping to complete the purpose of delaying time, and ultimately let the Jizhou Army return without success.
This means that the Jizhou Army's presence outside Zaimuji City has no meaning, and even the cavalry ambush outside Beicheng has also lost its meaning.
Due to the sudden change in the war situation, this was something that the staff did not expect. But it does not matter, after getting the news, they can immediately formulate a new strategy. "Look, if we fight at the foot of Ala Mountain, what is our winning rate?
How many troops need to be sent and how many people should be left in front of Muji City to stabilize the situation here."
Tang Ao spoke, and the staff below quickly became busy.
Beidi is going to start a field battle with itself, avoiding the defensive city. In this case, the artillery, the Jizhou Army's biggest reliance, will lose its effect.
Both sides are cavalry, and both are known for their fast speed. The artillery's attack range is limited, which is a shortcoming. If it is forcibly opened, once faced with the fierce charge of the Beidi cavalry, it may not be possible to retreat at all, which will cause certain losses.
Very big.
If there is no artillery support and only cavalry and infantry are used against Beidi, they will not be at an advantage but at a disadvantage.
With just one move, the battle situation developed in a direction that was not conducive to him. At this moment, Tang Ao's brows also knitted together. It seemed that Beidi still had people who understood, and the next step was probably going to be a bloody battle.
The staff moved very quickly. After only an hour and a half, all the statistical information was sent to Tang Ao.
Looking at it now, in addition to the 100,000 cavalry in Muji City and the 10,000 soldiers left in Shile, there should be 230,000 people who can go to Ala Mountain in Beidi, and they are probably all cavalry.
