I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 112 Mr. Big, you can't just hang around here! (25)

Kakaka.

Nibbled on the hard-to-swallow naan bread, Li Shimin pointed to the map and said:
"General Zhao, are you saying... Jieli Khan's army is not as large as the one hundred thousand he claimed?"

Zhao Cihao nodded.

"Naturally not. If the Turks really had [-] elites, how could the last general be able to defend the city of Binzhou? It would have been defeated long ago."

He said in a low voice,

"Judging from the defense in the last few days, the Turkic soldiers should not exceed [-], and there are signs of division."

"Besides, Jieli did not lead the army alone. He and his younger brother Tuli came together with troops and horses."

Li Shimin's eyes were fixed.

"Tully?"

He swallowed the pie in his mouth and sneered,
"This is quite interesting. Speaking of which, Natuli and I had made an oath by burning incense and pledging to help each other in an emergency. It's fine for him not to help, but he even came to attack Tang."

"Oh, the barbarians will never believe it!"

"Hey, Your Highness, let's just play with faith and trust. Barbarians love treachery the most. It's something that's etched in their bones!" Hou Junji said, "Not to mention the oath, even the son and I must Kill it!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Although they are military generals, they are as rough as barbarians, but they know the word of faith and righteousness, once they make an oath, they will definitely abide by it!

This is the essential difference between the Tang people and the barbarians!

"Having said that, this oath can be used."

Xu Fenglei suddenly pointed out,

"Although the Turkic people don't talk about trustworthiness, they are very good at being suspicious and cunning. Especially Xieli Khan, who is very suspicious."

"Since Your Highness has a close relationship with Tuli, it may be possible to separate the two brothers..."

Li Shimin laughed.

"I knew it was right to bring Mr. out."

He clapped his hands and said,

"You and I want to go together!"

"If Xieli came alone, it might be a bit tricky. But since the brothers are joining forces, then I have a plan!"

"General Zhao—"

"The last general is here!" Zhao Cihao hastily clapped his hands in response.

"Where are Jieli and Tuli stationed now?" Li Shimin asked.

"Back to the general, because of the heavy rain for several days, the Turkic attack was not going well, so we retreated to Wulongban on the outskirts of the city to set up camp."

Zhao Cihao reported back,
"Looking at the number of horses, there may be more than ten thousand. Judging from the size of the camp, the strength should be around [-] to [-]."

When all the generals heard the words, their expressions all sank.

There are more than [-] horses alone, which shows that the cavalry is huge!

"How many guards are there in Binzhou?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help asking.

"Uh……"

Zhao Cihao hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed, but also a little downcast,
"The Turks attacked the city for days, and our soldiers defended the city desperately, causing heavy casualties!"

"There used to be [-] soldiers and horses, but now there are less than [-] healthy soldiers... Both the hearts of the people and the hearts of the soldiers in the city are in panic all day long. If His Highness hadn't rescued in time, I am afraid that if the horn of the Turkic attack is sounded again, our army will completely collapse. Bin The state city is about to be destroyed!"

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"General Zhao is not easy." He comforted.

Generally speaking, if one-third of the troops are killed in battle, the morale of the army will collapse.

If more than half of them were killed, the general situation was over, and the general could hardly control the situation!

With such a dire situation in Binzhou now, Zhao Cihao can grit his teeth and hold on, and organize soldiers to resist, which is not easy!

"Hey, why is it not easy? I only hold the banner of His Highness King Qin to stabilize my military spirit."

Zhao Cihao smiled wryly.

"I tell my subordinates every day, if you persist, His Royal Highness King Qin will be here soon, and he is already on his way with reinforcements!"

"When everyone hears the name of King Qin, they are naturally excited, and the morale of the army is naturally stabilized. In fact, at that time, I didn't know who the court would send..."

"To be honest, I'm really afraid that it's not your Highness who came here. If it were someone else, I'm afraid the hearts of my Binzhou soldiers will be completely lost once the army enters the city! I will have my spine broken by them!"

In the hearts of all Tang soldiers, the word "Qin Wang" is a booster, a reassurance!
As long as he comes, no matter how difficult the battle is, he can win it!

This is the prestige that Li Shimin established in Tang Jun's heart when he fought in the country.

Its image is close to the god of war, even Li Jing can't match it!

"Two thousand soldiers and horses, plus the nine thousand we brought, add up to a total of more than 1 soldiers."

Qin Qiong said cautiously,
"With [-] infantry fighting against [-] cavalry, the difference in strength... is too great."

"Even if we occupy the right time and the right people, it will be difficult for our army to fight against it!"

"How about defending the city?"

Yuchi Gong shook his head.

"Binzhou is not a dangerous place. If you defend the city, you will be easily trapped."

He analyzed,

"And the purpose of our rush to help is to repel the Turks, not to stick to the city."

"Jieli Khan doesn't know that His Highness is coming, let alone how many reinforcements are there, so we have a certain degree of initiative in our hands. But if we don't attack but defend, wouldn't it be easy for people to see through the truth and know that we are actually weak?"

"At that time, Xieli will attack frantically when he knows His Highness is here. Not only will Binzhou be unable to defend, but we will all have to go in!"

Qin Qiong was silent.

The plan to defend the city was the first to pass.

"If you don't defend, then you can only attack!"

Hou Junji said,

"But the difference in strength is too great, and the opponent has tens of thousands of elite cavalry. If we don't rely on favorable terrain to fight, we will almost be defeated if we go back and forth head-on."

"On flat ground, cavalry has a huge advantage over infantry!"

"How about making a surprise attack on a rainy night? Catch him off guard first?"

Now Cheng Yaojin shook his head.

"A surprise attack on a rainy night may be a small victory, but it has no decisive impact on the big battle."

he said,

"Besides, after the first raid, the Turks must be prepared. It will be difficult to succeed the second time, and then return to the previous problem—"

"The vigilant [-] army, how to fight, how to repel?"

Now, everyone was silent and turned their eyes to Li Shimin.

"General, what do you think our army should do?"

They had no choice but to turn to the backbone Li Shimin for help.

Li Shimin didn't answer immediately, but was lost in thought.

Seeing that King Qin couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, the generals couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

When Yu Chigong turned his head, he suddenly saw Xu Fenglei waving his feather fan lightly, his expression was as usual, and he couldn't help but feel joking.

"Mister Big!"

He snatched Xu Fenglei's feather fan and said with a smile,
"Your status this time is as a general in the army, and you have to make suggestions for the war situation."

"You can't take a nap!"

"With your ingenuity, you will definitely be able to think of a solution to break the situation. Can you tell us, so that we don't have to worry about it..."

Zhao Cihao was slightly surprised.

He hadn't paid much attention to this young general before.

Now seeing Yu Chigong's expression and words, coupled with King Qin's attitude just now... This young man is very powerful?
