Li Xiaogong simply thought that there was something wrong with his ears and he heard wrongly. He stared at Li Sheng without blinking for a long time...
But then I saw Li Sheng frowning.
"What's wrong? 120,000 plus 57,000, that's more than 170,000 troops... This can't be a complete plan?"
Li Sheng frowned.
And Li Xiaogong was a little confused.
Damn... Boss, that’s not what I meant. I mean I don’t need so many troops. I mean your old man’s troops are too few, okay?
Li Xiaogong felt like he was listening to storytelling in a restaurant in Chang'an. Li Sheng had kept a low profile the whole time, but in these few words... he was so domineering that he didn't even look like a real person!
This directly made Li Xiaogong embarrassed, and he was stuck in place - three thousand soldiers and horses were too few to attack the city...
However, after struggling for a moment this time, Li Xiaogong showed a very difficult smile and could only nod.
Think about it...
Anyway, there are both civil and military methods to attack the city. Since Li Sheng only led 3,000 men, he had more troops. It would be better to use more force when attacking by force.
Thinking about it this way, things are not bad. Li Xiaogong can only guess what method Li Sheng is trying to use to break the city from the inside. No matter whether it works or not... but the most troops are in his hands, so he can do more.
.
With this in mind, Li Xiaogong raised his eyes and looked at Li Ji, Yuchi Laomo, and Zhang Shigui and said, "Uh... you don't have any problems, right?"
The current deployment is that Yuchi Laomo and Li Ji are on one side. Because Li Xiaogong now has an army of hundreds of thousands, in addition to being the undoubted main force in the siege operation, he also has to monitor the wilderness in the north to be on guard against Goguryeo reinforcements, so he naturally also brings
He went up to Zhang Shigui - so this meant that only Changle and Li Sheng could attack the south gate together.
The commander and the supervisor were the two people with the highest status and the most power among the entire army during this expedition.
Now these two people want to attack the south gate, let alone Li Xiaogong...
Even Changsun Wuji, who didn't care much about deployment issues and was mainly in charge of personnel matters in the court, and mainly in charge of food, grass supplies, prisoner deployment and other issues here, felt that something was wrong.
There are only three thousand people. What if the defenders on the Goguryeo side see that they have such a small number of troops and just open the south gate and rush out?
Although the probability is not high, after all, there are two officials, Wu Guogong and Ying Gong, watching from the east and west flanks, but there are some things... who can say clearly?
...However, Changsun Wuji tried again to persuade Li Sheng and Li Lizhi, the nieces and nephews, to bring more troops, but the old god Li Sheng directly waved his hand and refused, "What did Duke Zhao Guo say?"
, what is safety and danger... This is to the south, and there is a wilderness when you go out. If you go further, you will reach You Zhuo Erzhou. By then, Your Majesty will still have more than 200,000 troops in his hands. Let's kill them back. Their defenders
Isn’t it free?”
Li Sheng directly deduced Changsun Wuji's worries, expressed his denial, and then said, "Besides... how can these defenders have the strength to collide with me? Duke Zhao, don't worry about arranging supplies and food. You have to be light at night."
Where are the prisoners in the city?"
Li Sheng's last words simply broke through the upper limit of domineering power again, and could even be said to have redefined domineering power.
Li Xiaogong and others were almost dumbfounded. Li Sheng, who had been the hands-off shopkeeper all the way, suddenly became violent again...
And it’s so fierce that it’s too outrageous!
But since Li Sheng said so, although Changsun Wuji is worried about the safety of these two juniors, Li Sheng's last words really make people don't know where to start worrying...
After a few seconds of tangle, Changsun Wuji still felt that what Li Sheng said was not bad. It might be possible for the defenders of Anshi City to break out by force, but there is really not a high probability of breaking out from the south gate - like Li Sheng
Sheng said that this time was different from when he fought against the Turks. This time Li Shu still had more than 200,000 elite soldiers.
With this thought, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to agree. Since there are still 60,000 troops on the east and west wings of Anshi City, it shouldn't be too dangerous...
Although he still felt uneasy, at least...that was how things were settled this time.
The time to launch the attack is late at night.
This is the time when everyone in Anshi is sleeping soundly, and there is another reason: this is Mobei, and it is winter.
The temperature continues to drop, which gradually begins to challenge the human body's ability to withstand it. At midnight, that is, at two o'clock in the morning, the people in Goguryeo City are sleeping. If they want to get up suddenly, they will not be able to move quickly, even if their defenders have arranged for the city to move at twelve o'clock.
Head-to-head surveillance - although this is inevitable, there is absolutely no time to quickly organize a large number of powerful troops to board the city to defend the city.
After discussing the plan, the Tang army naturally took advantage of nightfall to arrange for all the soldiers to rest quietly.
This is winter, the days are already shorter, and the latitude of Mobei is much higher than that of the Central Plains, so it gets dark earlier.
The soldiers had enough time to rest in preparation for getting up in the early hours of the morning and taking action!
This was in the evening, and Li Sheng went directly to bed...
When Li Xiaogong and others planned to ask Li Sheng if he had any better ideas for siege, what they discovered...
After Li Sheng went to bed, Li Xiaogong, Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Zhang Shigui and others smiled bitterly and expressed their helplessness towards the boss, and came up with stupid ways to attack the city.
Yes, during the encirclement and reinforcement battle, Yuchi Gong also attacked Anshi City almost continuously for twelve hours, but this was mainly to cause panic in Anshi City, so that Anshi City could send troops as soon as possible before recognizing the feint attack.
Go and ask for help, or... let the Xianbei cavalry roaming nearby go to their royal court as soon as possible to report the news to the King of Goguryeo.
But in fact, if the organization really wants to be organized, Yuchi Gong, Li Ji, Zhang Shigui, Li Xiaogong, and even Changsun Wuji all know.
There is no particularly good way to attack a city, so the best way is to attack at night.
If the enemy defenders don't react quickly enough, there is indeed a probability of occupying a city head - and once a city head is occupied, the next step is to use it as a bridgehead and send a large number of troops to the fortresses on the city wall.
sex!
This is also the valuable experience accumulated by the princes during the continuous wars in the late Sui Dynasty, but...
In fact, there are not many times when this strategy works. Because normally, the defenders of the city are not stupid, and they can indeed organize raids at night. However, while the defenders do not respond in time, the attacking soldiers are often in the same state.
Not very good, and war is undoubtedly a very demanding thing.
It's just that when there is no good way...doing all the details as much as possible is the best way!
