Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 693 The First Battle of the Western Expedition (2)

The ten-thousand-mile expedition sounds heroic, but it is not a simple matter in practice. Let alone the difficulty of logistics and transportation, and the alienation of customs and customs, it is a fatal thing to say that it cannot be defeated——Expedition To put it bluntly, outside the domain is to fight without a rear, even if you win all the way, but as long as you lose once, you will lose all your previous efforts. He is a talented general who can stand alone, and he knows the risks involved. Because of this, when it comes to strategy, no one is willing to speak easily, and the silence in the tent is inevitable.

"General, you can fight as you say, but anyone who needs Xiao Wang will never dare to resign!"

Master Ni Nirvana has stayed in Chang'an for several years, so he can already speak Chinese fluently, and he can also dance a few times in Chinese, but when it comes to the essence of Chinese culture, he hasn't learned a bit, and he doesn't know how to be humble. Why, seeing that all the people were silent, he became very anxious, fearing that the generals would retreat, so he hurriedly opened his mouth first, but what he said was all nonsense.

"The King of Persia is being polite. When the time comes for the war, the King of Persia needs a lot of support."

During this journey, Lin Chengbin has been in contact with the nirvana master a lot, so how could he not know that this guy is a man of great ambition and talent, his ability is really limited, but since he is the king of Persia, he still deserves the respect he deserves Yes, even if you don't really like the person in your heart, you still have to say some kind words.

"Sure, sure, General, in your opinion, how should this battle be fought?"

Master Nirvana is young after all, although he has the title of King of Persia, in fact, since he was born, he has never enjoyed the honor of the royal family, let alone experienced court life of intrigue and intrigue. Regardless of the difference between polite words and the truth, Lin Chengbin had to come up with a strategic strategy on the spot.

"General Li, General Xiao, what do you think about this battle?"

What should be given is decent, but when it really involves the overall strategy, Lin Chengbin will not follow him to fool around. Xiao Sanlang asked calmly.

"The general learned that it is an indisputable fact that the enemy is numerous and we are few. However, although our soldiers are few, they are fine, and the enemy's army is numerous. Now that the enemy is densely packed, it is really difficult for the various ministries to be in place quickly. It is necessary to wear a sharp and persistent attack to defeat the enemy. Leader, take down Mulu City in one battle, and then take advantage of the chaos of the enemy to sweep all the way, you will surely win a complete victory!"

Now that Lin Chengbin has called the roll call, it is impossible to say nothing. Although he is also the deputy commander, but Li He's rank is two levels higher than that of Xiao Sanlang, so he has to speak first. Of course, Li He was about to say this The battle has been carefully deduced, and the strategy has already been made in mind, so there will be no stage fright at all. Although there are not many words, the strategy is already very clear, that is to take advantage of the enemy's main force before it is fully assembled At the same time, they smashed the main force where the head of the enemy army was located, and then took advantage of the situation to sweep the fallen leaves in the last autumn, sweeping the whole of Persia with a great victory.

"Well, what General Li said is not unreasonable, does General Xiao have other ideas?"

In all fairness, Li He's strategy is also feasible. Datang often used this strategy in foreign wars, and there are many successful cases. Famous generals such as Li Jing and Xue Rengui have used this strategy, but Lin Chengbin obviously has another strategy. It's just that he didn't rush to express his opinion, but threw the question to Xiao Sanlang.

"Back to the general, the final general thinks that if General Li implements this strategy, he will win a big victory. However, there is one obstacle. Our army is small, and it is really difficult to divide our troops to plunder the land. If the remnant enemy calms down If the main force of the enemy country comes to help, the situation may be reversed. Although there is no danger of a big defeat, we are afraid that the old master will return without success. This must be guarded against. .”

Xiao Sanlang's official rank is relatively low, and he has served under Lin Chengbin for many years. He is not as casual as Li He, and his words are quite respectful, but what he should say is clear. Obviously, he is not optimistic about Li He either. The various tactics of defeating.

"It is true, but according to what General Xiao saw, how should this battle be carried out properly?"

What Xiao Sanlang said was exactly what Lin Chengbin was worried about. Ever since he was ordered to take command, Lin Chengbin had deduced in detail the advantages and disadvantages of various tactics, and Li He's strategy was naturally included in it, but in the end Lin Chengbin gave up on it. It was as Xiao Sanlang said, now seeing that Xiao Sanlang's thinking was similar to his own, Lin Chengbin immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked further questions.

"Siege and fight for reinforcements! The final general thought that he would defeat the enemy's chiefs in a single battle, but he did not wipe them all out. He surrounded them in Mulu City, and then the cavalry patrolled and attacked, annihilating the enemy troops who rushed from all walks of life one by one on the road, and finally Conquer Mulu City in one fell swoop, and in this way, we may return home with a big victory!"

Xiao Sanlang was very respectful to Lin Chengbin, but he had his own opinions on strategy and tactics, and he was extremely confident when it came to the future.

"General Xiao's words are wrong. The key to siege and help is to siege. Our army is small. If we want to siege the city, it will be difficult to divide our troops to break through the enemy's other routes. If we are attacked by people inside and outside, it will be a joke!"

When it comes to self-confidence, Li He is the master who never let others. His previous strategy was told by Xiao Sanlang, and his heart was already angry. When Lin Chengbin expressed something, he immediately retorted unceremoniously.

"General Li is overthinking, but he must arrange it carefully. Nothing is impossible. As long as we can destroy most of the enemy's chieftains in one battle, my first division is capable of besieging the city. As for the matter of destroying the enemy, is it General Li? Why don't you dare?"

Xiao Sanlang is also a character with personality. He and Li He are not in the same system at all, and they have no close personal relationship with each other. When it comes to talking, he will not leave too much affection for Li He.

"you……"

Li He is not someone to be easily provoked, upon hearing what Xiao Sanlang said, his eyes immediately widened.

"Two generals, I have a problem that has been lingering in my mind for a long time, but I can't solve it. I also ask the two generals to help me go into details. Well, let's put it this way, if the enemy's army of 15 people gathers, our army will Can you win?"

Seeing that Li and Xiao were about to quarrel, as the coach, Lin Chengbin didn't want to see this, so he hurriedly interrupted.

"This……"

"Ok?"

Lin Chengbin's proposition is obviously a bit big, Rao Li and Xiao are both considered generals in the world, but they can't do it if they want to make a clear calculation for a while. In addition, they don't know the intention of Lin Chengbin's question, so they dare not answer casually. After looking at each other, they didn't argue any more, but each frowned and thought about it. Seeing this, Lin Chengbin didn't say anything to urge him, but just sat silently.

"If the arrangements are properly made, we can win. It's just that our army is small, and it's a bit difficult to wipe them all out, but it's not impossible. Is it possible that the general intends to complete his achievements in one battle?"

After all, Xiao Sanlang had been under Lin Chengbin's command for many years, and he was familiar with his way of thinking. After thinking for a while, he guessed what Lin Chengbin had never said, his eyes lit up instantly, and he tentatively asked.

"That's right. Our army is small and far away from our homeland. It is difficult to have follow-up reinforcements. If we can't complete our efforts in one battle, there will be endless troubles. Moreover, the enemy's country is very close to Persia. Once Persia is occupied by me, they may come to revenge with all their strength. Time is not in my favor, and I must fight and win quickly to get rid of this calamity!"

At such a time, Lin Chengbin didn't intend to hide his determination anymore, he smiled confidently, and simply stated the strategy he was thinking about.

"Sulhan Valley!"

Li He's reaction was not slow. Once he figured out Lin Chengbin's calculation, his mind started to work rapidly. He quickly went through the terrain between Mulu City and Baktra City, and found it in an instant. Lin Chengbin never said the real answer.

"Well, it is here, everyone, let's follow the future."

Lin Chengbin had known Li Hezhi's talent for a long time, and he was not surprised that he was able to see through his own design in such a short period of time, and he didn't express much. In front of a sand table, I grabbed a handful of small flags and threw them casually. A dozen small flags had already been planted on the sand surface. Inadvertently, the situation of the enemy and the enemy had been clearly displayed.

"Excellent skill, the general is really a genius!"

Both Li and Xiao have outstanding martial arts. They naturally didn't care much about Lin Chengbin's move, and didn't have any special reaction, but Ni Nirvana master didn't have this knowledge, and he wanted to flatter Lin Chengbin. , naturally hastened to speak flatteringly.

"The king of Persia is too famous. Please see, the enemy troops are all riding horses, and they are densely packed at a very fast speed. However, they cannot get their luggage in time. Therefore, the enemy must be eager to fight. This is no different from our army. At most In another ten days, even if our army does not move, the enemy will come to seek a decisive battle with us. Since this is the case, it is not wrong to follow the enemy's wishes. Some people think that this is the right battle... I don't know what you think about this Do you see me?"

Lin Chengbin was calm by nature, so he would not be moved by Ni Nirvana's flattery. After thanking him casually, he immediately turned to the main topic, and detailed the strategies and tactics that he had planned for a long time.

"good!"

Li He has never liked to talk too much, but his mind is very quick. After a little calculation, he has understood the key point, and he has no objection, so he expresses his attitude concisely.

"According to this line, it should be safe, and there will be no objection in the end!"

Xiao Sanlang's reaction was also not slow, and he came up with the same answer as Li He, but his personality was a little gentler, so his answer was not as blunt as Li He's.

"General, you just give the order, Xiao Wang has no reason not to obey!"

Seeing that both Li and Xiao have expressed their views, even though Ni Nirvana Master still can't figure out the mystery, he is extremely firm in expressing his position.

"That's good, it's settled like this, the soldiers will send out to Mulu City in three days!"

Now that the strategic thinking has been unified, Lin Chengbin will not hesitate, so he immediately issued the general order to attack. Although the voice is calm, it is full of self-confidence that cannot be concealed.
