At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 229

Soon, Li Jing also learned that the enemy army pretended to attack Xincheng, but instead besieged Yiyang.

only……

At this time, the difference between Li Jing and Li Shimin is reflected.

Li Jing did not continue on his way in a panic like Li Shimin.

He ordered the whole army to station, began to take out the map, and pondered.

On the map, he marked four cities at this moment.

In fact, there is nothing to lose in each one.

But the two really important cities are Mianchi and Shangzhou.

These two cities are the bridgeheads for Chang'an to inquire about Henan.

Once lost, not only the crime of losing land, but also Chang'an's future plans for Henan will be disrupted.

It's like a stick in the throat!

"Their real purpose is definitely not Yiyang City! Don't let yourself be confused!"

After analyzing for half an hour, Li Jing took a deep breath and didn't intend to continue to follow the enemy.

If he continued to chase and stare at him like this, he would lose if he defended for a long time, and he had already predicted the final consequence.

So what he can do now...

It is to guess the real purpose of the other party, whether it is Mianchi or Shangzhou!
After thinking about it for a while... Li Jing was completely stunned.

He combined the previous opponent's marching routine and analyzed it, and his mind became even more chaotic.

"I thought they were going to attack Mianchi, but in the end they were going to attack Xincheng. I thought they were going to attack Xincheng, but they turned around and wanted to attack Yiyang..."

To be honest, Li Jing was not sure for a while, which city he should guard.

The key point is that they only have [-] soldiers and horses, which cannot be perfectly distributed among the four cities!

"Since this is the case, there is only an active attack over there in order to defeat the enemy!"

Li Jing took a deep breath and thought of a way.

It's no longer guarding and restraining, using the [-] soldiers and horses under his command to interrupt the enemy's continued to move around.

I have to say, this trick is very unique.

Because once the Leng Jianzhang Department or Xu Shiji Department were involved, the crisis in the four cities would be resolved.

It's just that when the scouts detect the news of Zhang Bu of Leng Jian again...

He found that the other party had turned his head and went straight to Mianchi.

It's like going back and forth, jumping repeatedly!
Even Li Jing, who has been in the military for a long time, has the ability to command the army to run like this, but he dare not make such a bold attempt!
"The whole army listened to the order, immediately pulled out the camp, rushed up, took the initiative to attack, and dragged Leng Jianzhang's troops!"

Li Jing squinted his eyes, gritted his teeth, and finally made a decision.

……

However, on the way of Li Jing's pursuit, he found another army...

This soldier and horse appeared from a place where it should not have appeared, and unexpectedly stood in front of Leng Jianzhang, and began to confront the [-] troops under his command.

That's right, it's an active confrontation!
This soldier and horse is obviously Xu Shiji's department!

"I have heard for a long time that General Li is unparalleled in military strategy. It is a great fortune to be able to fight against him today. Please give me your advice!" Xu Shiji even ordered someone to send a letter as a provocation.

But at this time Li Jing had no intention of fighting fiercely with Xu Shiji's [-] troops.

The opponent set up a strong camp, and it seemed that he wanted to fight him for two or three days.

If he really wants to fight for two or three days, he is really worried...

Mianchi is gone!
You know, before he was stopped by Xu Shiji, scouts came to report that Leng Jian Zhang Bu had approached Mianchi.

Put on a posture of attacking the city.

The other party is willing to pay such a price, mobilize all soldiers and horses to march quickly, exhausted, there must be something to rely on!
And there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in Mianchi!
Can't stop the opponent's double-teaming!
only……

Li Jing looked at Xu Shiji's camp ahead, and then at the [-] soldiers under his command...

fell into contemplation.

The opponent's art of war is not bad.

He is also a disciple of Sun Ying, and was once guided by Sun Ying.

It is almost impossible to defeat the enemy in a short time with [-] soldiers and horses!
"hateful!"

Li Jing's face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and thought of his teammates for a moment...

He quickly wrote to Li Shimin for help.

……

At the same time, outside Yiyang City.

Li Shimin returned with an army of [-].

Then he looked at the empty city outside, where weeds grew wildly, but there was no one in sight.

He couldn't help but fell silent.

This Xu Shiji and Leng Jianzhang seem to be playing house?

Treating siege and defense as a game?

Whether to attack or not to attack the city?

He thought that the opponent was going to attack Mianchi, but in fact it was not, the opponent attacked Xincheng instead.

He thought that the opponent was going to attack Xincheng, but in fact it was not, the opponent was attacking Yiyang instead.

He thought that the opponent was going to attack Yiyang, but in fact it was not, the opponent turned around...

It's gone.

But for some reason, Li Shimin had a bad premonition.

He glanced at the dozen or so scouts kneeling below, his eyes extremely cold.

"Is this the military situation you lied about?"

This has happened more than once...

The scouts fell down one after another, not daring to raise their heads.

Every time they reported the military situation truthfully.

But the opponent didn't play according to the routine, no wonder they wow!

Analyzing the enemy's situation is originally the commander's job!
But they didn't dare to say these words, for fear that Li Shimin would cut them off after being furious.

"Report! General Li sent a letter from the front, asking for help!"

Not long after, an urgent military report came back.

Through Li Jing's analysis, Li Shimin finally understood...

The opponent's intention!
"Damn it, from beginning to end, the other party's intention is Mianchi!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth with hatred, and looked at Changsun Wuji with a deep voice, saying: "Xu Shiji and Leng Jianzhang dare to play tricks on me like this, false and false, true and false, this time they even went around to Mianchi and restrained General Li!"

Changsun Wuji glanced at him and remained silent.

He knew the temperament of his childhood friend.

Can listen to opinions.

But many times, there is no self-knowledge.

This is obviously a contest between Li Jing and Sun Ying at that level...

To be honest, if they forcibly intervened, they might be killed.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Li Shimin's shameful and angry voice: "This king understands it! The enemy's series of operations must have a huge picture! It is definitely not a mere Mianchi! Their real goal is very likely to be Mianchi. And Shangzhou!"

"They could contain General Li, but they didn't expect that General Li could also contain them! This king wants to mobilize the garrison troops in the two cities of Yiyang, a new city, and led a detour of 7 people to attack Lengjianzhang's department!"

"What does Wuji think?"

Li Shimin held his head high, feeling ashamed and angry, he suddenly came up with a clever plan.

Changsun Wuji twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, pondered for a while, and said euphemistically: "What the Art of War says is false and true. ..."

What he was worried about was that Li Shimin lost his wife and lost his army!
Li Shimin gritted his teeth after hearing this, and wanted to ask Li Jing for advice immediately.

but……

Li Jing is far away in the sky.

Once back and forth, the fighter plane is fleeting.

He gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "There are only two roads to enter Henan County, one is through Mianchi, the other is through Shangzhou. On the road to Mianchi, General Li is holding back Xu Shiji's troops. The king will take the road in Shangzhou..."

"Attack back and forth with General Li and attack the enemy together!"

After Changsun Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but said: "But the road in Shangzhou is not smooth, and there are more than a hundred miles of detours. I'm afraid I'll wait for His Highness to rush..."

Changsun Wuji didn't say what happened next.

But obviously, the battle that should be fought is over.

"From the perspective of my subordinates, why not... listen to General Li and rush to help, General Li must have his own ideas..." Changsun Wuji leaned over to advise.

After a lot of persuasion, Li Shimin finally gave up his unrealistic ideas and decisively led an army of [-] to rush to help.

Xincheng and Yiyang each stationed [-] troops.

……

Two days later.

When Li Shimin led his troops to Li Jing's army, after joining forces...

Li Jing made a prompt decision and asked Li Shimin for command of the entire army.

The main thing is that now is the time to wait.

He has not heard from Mianchi and Shangzhou for two days.

The passage had been blocked by Xu Shiji, and now he was only worried... the Mianchi defenders didn't last long before the city collapsed.

Then one of their passages back to Chang'an was cut off, and the other one needed to be detoured.

Although Li Shimin looked displeased, he also knew that if he really wanted to get involved in this battle, he might have to play it off.

Immediately gave all military power to Li Jing.

Li Jing immediately ordered the entire army to attack, regardless of casualties, and must quickly take down Xu Shiji's troops...

However, after seeing them meeting, Xu Shiji began to retreat.

The kind that fights while withdrawing.

I have no intention of continuing to fight with them at all.

While withdrawing, they dug and built various traps on both sides of the road to hinder the progress of Li Shimin's army.

"They are stalling for time! To speed up the attack, we must rush to Mianchi!" Li Jing immediately understood the opponent's intention.

Under the frantic pressure, [-] against [-], the pressure on Xu Shiji, I have to say, is getting bigger and bigger.

……

Xu Shiji's camp.

While directing the army to retreat, he restrained them while waiting for news from Zhang Xutuo.

"It should be soon, right? Li Jing's offensive is too fierce. If General Zhang doesn't take the city again, I'm afraid I will really lead the army to fight to the death!"

Xu Shiji looked very solemn, and had been waiting for news from Zhang Xutuo.

This time, they jumped repeatedly and seduced the enemy continuously, and finally they were about to carry out the first wave of siege.

Let him get involved in the cover!

Therefore, no matter what, he had to block Li Jing's onslaught.

Otherwise, they will be defeated directly by the attack from inside and outside!

This is also the abnormality of this operation. If you are not careful, you can easily set yourself on fire.

Under Li Jing's onslaught, regardless of casualties, Xu Shiji kept retreating in order to preserve his strength.

But withdraw and withdraw...

On Li Jing's side, something was wrong.

Xu Shiji's 2 people actually... evacuated from outside Mianchi City.

And in Mianchi City, there was no scene of hoisting the enemy's banner as they imagined.

Hanging is still the banner of King Qin.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin was stunned again, and he couldn't help but suspect that he was alive.

Looking at the back of Xu Shiji's army retreating...

With doubts and bewilderment, he looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing had already reacted, clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth: "What a cold shot! Let's trade space for time! He even gave up Mianchi, which is close at hand, and went to attack Shangzhou!"
