Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

"Get up!"

"Tell me, how do we fight next?"

Li Wenhao was sitting by the mouth of the well, these people naturally did not dare to enter the tent, everyone just sat on the ground and analyzed the current situation.

"Your Highness, I think we must be prepared for a protracted battle in this battle."

"Since the enemy can come, they must come prepared. Although our Tang Dynasty has a strong military force, the number of people we can deploy is indeed limited. If there are too many, it will affect the defense of the frontier. Therefore, for this battle, we mainly One word, please!"

"After all, our logistics is superior to theirs. Chen suggested that we treat the entire grassland as a battlefield and fight a tug-of-war with them."

"We don't need too much confrontation. We just need to stick to the enemy and defend the Great Wall. At least three months, as long as half a year, the enemy will definitely show up."

As Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Bowen made a comprehensive plan for this war.

However, anyone who is familiar with Li Wenhao knows that what Li Wenhao dislikes the most is this grinding style of play, he likes a vigorous and vigorous style of play.

Therefore, he subconsciously regarded Liu Bowen's strategy as an alternative.

"Your Highness, perhaps, we can also copy the style of play we used to fight the Turks."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and after nodding each other, Guo Jia spoke.

"How to copy?"

"Take a risk!"

Guo Jia reached out and pulled out Xiong Zhan's saber, and began to draw on the ground carelessly.

"At the beginning, when fighting the Turks, Ran Min led his beggar army all the way west, directly copied the old nest of the Western Turks, and then disturbed the enemy's morale. We worked hard together."

"Today, we can do the same."

"We can let Bai Qi, who is far away on the southwestern plateau, go down to the plateau, out of the snow-capped mountains, and go straight to Dashi!"

"Let Li Daozong lead the Hanzhong defenders to the plateau and guard Lhasa!"

"At the same time, let Huo Qubing go across the Tianshan Mountains and take Dashi directly. The two armies will attack in two ways. Let's take a draught from the bottom of the pot."

"And I concluded that the enemy's logistics supplies must be dispatched in Dashi. We sent Bai Qi and Huo Qubing there, and we can also cut off the enemy's logistics."

"Finally, let's give them another ambush!"

Guo Jia thrust the saber into the ground and clenched it tightly with five fingers.

"Okay, what an ambush!"

"In this way, I will add another fire to you!"

"Order Han Xin's army not to go south, let him go directly to the pass and wait for the opportunity at Yumen Pass."

"Firstly, it can deter the already empty Western Regions, and secondly, it can also send troops at critical moments to split the enemy's long snake in two!"

"So, the battle is over!"

"Then it's decided."

Li Wenhao made a final decision, and returned to his big tent happily, but Liu Bowen shook his head appreciatively.

It is undeniable that Guo Jia's strategy can indeed win quickly, but it is also accompanied by risks, such as crossing snow mountains and Tianshan Mountains. This is an invisible enemy. In addition, they are not familiar with the terrain of the Great Food Kingdom. What if someone does a mental calculation without thinking?

Taking ten thousand steps back, if those small countries in the south find that the plateau is empty, the Western Regions are empty, and the soldiers are in one place...

Although Liu Bowen's strategy is slow to bear fruit, at least it is stable!

Play steadily and steadily, there are not so many desperate ways to play.

"Your Highness..."

"Look, I said he would come!"

At this time, in Li Wenhao's big tent, Yue Fei, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu were all there.

"His Highness is waiting for me?"

"Nature is waiting for you, I know what you want to say."

Li Wenhao glanced at Liu Bowen, "But let me tell you the truth, I, Datang, can't afford him."

"If we fight quickly, those small countries around us will be afraid of us, afraid of us and dare not send troops, but if we suddenly stretch the front line with the enemy and start a tug-of-war, those countries around us will be ready to move instead."

"Taking a step back, the prairie just now looks good, I don't want to be trampled by this group of people,"

"Although Guo Jia's strategy is risky, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for this time."

"As the Minister of the Ministry of War, you should know that the neighbors around us are not good people..."

"Especially my father-in-laws who are still alive, they don't want to tear a piece of flesh off me all the time."

"Understood, Your Highness, I am short-sighted."

Liu Bowen bowed and said.

"It's not that you are short-sighted, it's that you, as the minister of the Ministry of War, naturally have to start from the perspective that is most beneficial to our Tang Dynasty, but we can't just look at the present."

"I can tell you clearly that even if those three countries have hit my doorstep, I will never take revenge right away, because the time is not yet ripe."

"We'll wait until the West Great Wall is repaired!"

This is also the purpose of Li Wenhao's construction of the West Great Wall. He wants to completely put an end to the rise of the grassland peoples, and at the same time, to completely put an end to the era of cold weapons, so that those Westerners can fight over.

Li Wenhao will only attack when he first makes himself invincible, and the most important point is logistical support.

The biggest difference between Li Wenhao and the Western Three Kingdoms is that Li Wenhao knows what is human nature.

If he is now on an expedition, the ones who die the most are not the soldiers, but the civilians who maintain Qiuba's logistics.

Thinking about it in another way, I can be sure that the Three Kingdoms also dropped a lot of corpses on their way to Datang.

Li Wenhao would not do this kind of thing that draws salary from the bottom of his pot.

Now that the steam engine has slowly taken shape, and the train has begun to be developed, all he needs is a little time.

"Your Highness, General Su Lie has come to report that he has set up the artillery positions of the Shenji Battalion, and the address is Benlangyuan!"

Chapter 479

"Okay, everyone, now that the matter has been settled, let's act according to plan!"

"Lu Wenzhao, if the enemy is taking out the cannons in red, I'll take your sacrificial flag first!"

Li Wenhao said viciously, in fact, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for the enemy to take out the red cannon. After all, this thing had just come out, at least in the eyes of ordinary people, they just knew there was such a thing.

After threatening Lu Wenzhao for a while, Li Wenhao was refreshed, and he didn't know why he had such a bad taste now.

Bai Qi who was far away on the plateau, Huo Qubing from the Western Regions, and Han Xin, who had just come down from the plateau and finished his training, all had excitement in their eyes when they received Li Wenhao's order.

Especially Bai Qi and Han Xin, there was still a little regret in their eyes.

They especially want to personally command this large-scale battle involving 200 million people.

It's a pity that although they have this ability, there are too many capable people in Hebei, and Li Wenhao has to make a trade-off and speak with seniority.

And now the most experienced people in Hebei Province are undoubtedly Su Lie, Jia Xu, and Xue Rengui.

"Marshal, now that the Tang Army is continuously sending reinforcements, if we don't fight them decisively as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will be dragged into the quagmire of war. The supplies we brought here can only last for two months at most, and the difficulty of our logistics route , you know it too!"

The chief think tank of the Western Legion, Currier, said to their commander, Alexander Kukoc.

"I know, but Tang Jun is like a cunning fox. He doesn't fight our invincible army head-on at all. What can you do?"

"Of course I know!"

Corel said confidently, "But Marshal, don't forget that this is their territory, where can they retreat?"

"Tang people have a strong sense of land. We can continue to advance. Although our food and grass can only last for two months, and the logistics are still on the way, Tang people definitely don't want us to continue to advance for two months. This is our advantage. !"

Correll said confidently.

"Marshal, believe me, they will never last until we run out of food, what we have to do now is to advance steadily, and then when the enemy can't bear it, we will wipe them all out in one battle."

"Since you are so determined, then follow your strategy."

At this moment, the two soldiers and horses seemed to have reached a tacit agreement. Apart from scolding and humiliating each other symbolically every day, the rest of them were all waiting.

Li Wenhao even held a trash talk contest in the army in order to win the swearing game.

"Your Highness, you can't retreat anymore."

"Behind us is Benlangyuan, and to our south is Yanmen Pass. Now we should fight them."

Guo Jia said solemnly.

"Then fight!"

"Tomorrow, put out all the soldiers and horses!"

"Let's fight them..."

Li Wenhao's side retreated for nearly a month in a row, retreating steadily for twenty miles every day. Even so, the enemy has now penetrated deep into the hinterland of the grassland. Unfortunately, he has not heard any news about Bai Qi and Huo Qubing until now.

It's not that Huo Qubing and Bai Qi don't want to pass the news back, it's really...

The enemy is really weak enough!

Huo Qubing originally thought it would be a tough battle, but how could he expect that the enemy surrendered just as his iron cavalry was deployed?

On the other hand, Bai Qi took a bloody road even bloodier than Ran Min.

After all, when Ran Min marched westward, the enemies were all on the grassland. To put it bluntly, they were all tents and the like, without city walls, but Bai Qi's road had city walls, not only the city walls, but also one city after another. .

"General, we have captured the city in front of us. We have captured a total of 3 soldiers and 8 civilians!"

"Let the soldiers who surrendered kill all these people. If they don't kill them, they will be buried with these people."

Bai Qi was wearing a Confucian white robe, and was writing something on the rice paper with a brush in his hand. He didn't even lift his eyelids when he heard what the people below said.

"Then, for the surviving soldiers, give them a meal and let them go to the next city!"

"Tell them that as long as they attack the city first, everything except adult men will be theirs"

"Yes!"

Bai Qi's lieutenant general glanced at Bai Qi, who had been dressing himself up as a literati, and twitched his eyes.

Why do these killers in Hebei Dao like to flaunt themselves a person of literati?
