Dajin royal family

Chapter 128

"I'm not sure about this." Jiang Chengxiao pulled out the horizontal knife, inserted it back into the scabbard, looked up at General Zhao and General Xue, and said, "But what is certain is that the Turkic soldiers and horses of the Ministry of Rites must be Go southward from Tucheng County. According to our current military strength, we still have some shortcomings in order to fight against the Turkic soldiers."

General Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, we only have [-] cavalry in our hands, and the remaining [-] are infantry. There should be very few opportunities for ambushes like today. If we are talking about confronting the Turkic cavalry head-on, the number of troops is wrong. While waiting, I don’t think it’s okay.”

"Today's ambush did not wipe out all the enemy troops. The Ministry of Defense must know that we have found their traces, so they will be very careful in the future." General Xue said: "Although I know what the two generals said Makes sense, do we really do nothing, just stay here and wait for the reinforcements from the general?"

At this point, he said angrily: "Although most of the people in the counties along the way have fled to Taiyuan in advance, there are still people in the Jin Dynasty who died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Turks. It hurts me to see it, really I want to kill these Turkic offal with my own hands."

Jiang Chengxiao thought for a while and said, "Actually, that's not always the case. We are the ones taking the initiative now."

"Ah?!" Zhao and Xue looked at Jiang Chengxiao in astonishment at the same time.General Xue was straightforward, and immediately questioned: "Now the Turks have ten times as many troops as ours. How can we be the ones who take the initiative? Even if the general's reinforcements arrive, we still have to fight, Jiang Huanqi, now say It’s too early to say that.”

General Zhao also thought that the success of the ambush just now made the hussar general a little smug, and it was just the beginning of the war, so he said painstakingly: "Jiang Hussar, now is not the time to relax our vigilance, we can't take it lightly. Look at these Turkic people. This time they were just caught off guard. If we were to fight head-on, we might not be able to achieve today's record."

Jiang Chengxiao sighed slightly in his heart, and explained slowly: "Two generals, listen to me."

"Dare to ask the two generals, is it really important whether the Turks are in Yikou County or Xiurong County? It doesn't matter. Because of the blizzard this year, Shanxi has been severely affected. There is not much food here for the Turks. People added."

"Secondly, the general has ordered people to go north to recapture Loufan Pass, so the Turkic soldiers and horses of the Jiali Ministry are the lone army trapped in Loufan County. Grain supplies in the county town."

"Thirdly, I am ambushed here today, exposing the position of our soldiers and horses, so the Ministry of Agriculture will definitely get the news that we are here. They are currently facing two choices. The first is to immediately lead the army northward and flee from Bingzhou Go back to the grassland, otherwise we don't need to take action, and when they eat up their war horses and lose their food, they will die."

"Second, go south and become a real lone army, cross the mountain road, go straight to Taiyuan, grab enough food, and force our army to abandon Lou Fanguan and destroy them."

General Zhao and General Xue looked at each other, and General Xue said naively: "However, don't the Turkic people who invade the south eat cattle and sheep for food? How could they kill war horses? And where is our initiative? I really don't know." Know."

Jiang Chengxiao was slightly speechless, he explained how these two became General Hussars and Generals Cheqi.As a last resort, Jiang Chengxiao had no choice but to explain: "General Xue, the army led by the Ministry of Liberty has been racing all the way, and the speed of the horses cannot keep up with the cattle and sheep. There must be problems with their logistics and military supplies. Second, the initiative I mentioned is here. "

He turned around, pointed to the south, and said, "There is a mountain road leading directly to Taiyuan County. If the Ministry of Liberation wants to invade Taiyuan, they must march from there. That is the most suitable place for us to hold on. At that time, the army of the generals Come out from the mountain road we came from, and attack back and forth, we will definitely wipe out the Turkic soldiers and horses."

General Zhao frowned and said, "But if Jiaoli didn't go south, what if they go north?"

Jiang Chengxiao smiled slightly, "General Zhao, you forgot, the general has already sent troops north to attack Loufanguan. The Turks mainly use cavalry and archery, and defending the city is not their strong point. Loufanguan should be back in our hands soon. At that time, we still flanked the Turks back and forth. No matter what, Jiaoli will definitely pay the price for his lone army going deep this time!"

It was said that General Zhao and General Xue had no objection at all. After some analysis by this Jiang Hussar, they had fully understood the current battle situation.As Jiang Hussar said, the initiative is indeed in their hands.Even if they don't take the initiative to attack, as long as they guard the mountain road into Taiyuan County, the Turks will be defeated by them sooner or later.

The two immediately looked relaxed, and they both clasped fists to Jiang Chengxiao, admiringly said: "Everything is arranged by Jiang Huanqi!"

Although the hussar general in front of him looked very young, but after seeing him and commanding them in front of the battle, the two felt inferior.They were able to be promoted to General Hussars and Generals Chariots mostly because of the accumulation of military exploits by the two of them fighting in front of the battle. The real analysis of the battle situation and the strategic analysis of the audience basically did not understand what was going on.

At this moment, two Qingqi scouts returned, and they came to Jiang Chengxiao and knelt down on one knee to report: "General, the group of Turkic soldiers who fled did not go to Xiurong County, they went directly to Yikou County." The person was the Turkic scout sent by Jiang Chengxiao to follow the fleeing Turkic soldiers and horses. Following them has a high probability of finding the main force of the Turkic army, and it turns out that it is so.

After entering Yikou County, Jiang Chengxiao understood that this group of Turkic bastards should have just captured Yikou County and stayed there to rest.The one who was ambushed just now should have come out to explore the way, that's why.

"What else did you find?"

The scout replied: "When we came back, we found that their army had already left the city. They ignored Xiurong County, and now they are coming here. The target should be us."

Jiang Chengxiao pondered slightly, and said: "Their target should not be us, but Taiyuan County. If that's the case, we'll give them a back and forth attack!"

Another flank attack, General Xue and General Zhao looked at each other, this Jiang Hussar seemed to like to attack back and forth very much.General Zhao said: "Is the general going to come out?"

Jiang Chengxiao smiled slightly and said: "We have 6000 troops now, but 2000 are infantry. These [-] people are most suitable for guarding on the mountain road. What does General Zhao think?"

"That's right. The two battalions under my command would not be enough for the Turkic cavalry to confront the Turkic cavalry head-on. But in terms of defending the city, the cavalry is not as good as the infantry under my command." General Zhao said confidently.

"Very good." Jiang Chengxiao said: "Then the task of guarding the mountain path will be handed over to General Zhao."

He turned to look at General Xue and said, "We still have two battalions of heavy cavalry and two battalions of light cavalry, totaling 4000 troops."

Before he finished speaking, General Xue said first: "We are ambushing outside the mountain path. Once they attack the mountain path, we will attack from the outside and annihilate them in the mountain path." After speaking, he was very confident in his guess.

Jiang Chengxiao was slightly speechless, sighed, and said: "General Xue, the Ministry of Conservation now conservatively estimates that there are still 3 horses. If our 4000 troops are not good enough to attack on the periphery, what should we do if they rush to kill us in the opposite direction?"

He never underestimates his opponents, what he can think of, his opponents can also think of.It is impossible for him not to be clear about the current situation, so how could he suffer the secret loss of being ambushed again.

Hearing this, General Xue smiled embarrassingly, and said in embarrassment: "Someone didn't think carefully."

General Zhao also glanced at General Xue helplessly, and turned to chase after him: "Jiang Huqi, don't play charades anymore, the situation is critical now, hurry up and come up with a plan."

Jiang Chengxiao said lightly: "It is impossible for our 6000 troops to wipe out these Turkic people. The only thing we can do is to harass them in the rear, prevent them from entering Taiyuan County, and wait for the general to lead the army to help."

He knew very well that his current strength was not enough to eat the [-] Turkic people, and he had to wait for reinforcements from He Ruofei.
