Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

In the end, the Turkic chiefs all led the crowd to surrender, and Jie Li fled to Suni and lost his troops. It can be said that Li Ji and Su Dingfang had a perfect cooperation in Qikou!

Chapter 602 Li You supervises the army, the battle is about to start! (third more)

"It's not easy going all the way."

Li You also looked at the troops resting on the spot and sighed with emotion. Since he crossed, every time he traveled long distances, it was very painful, and he missed the planes and trains of modern society every night.

"This time it's rare and easy..."

Li Ji's face was very strange, because after such a long march, not only did the horses not be missing at all, but the soldiers brought light, easy-to-keep and delicious instant noodles and staple food powder as military rations. full.

Compared with the previous arduous marching process, this is a world of difference!

After thinking about it, Li Ji decided to change the subject.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, if we go further, we will arrive at Liugu. There is a city called Tiandi City as a checkpoint, which is an unavoidable way to attack Gaochang! If we want to enter Gaochang City, we must Destroy Tiandi City first!"

With that said, Li Ji spread out a map on the table, but this map only showed the territory of the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding area, but the rest of the area was very vague, with no specific details.

Li Jiyi pointed to the location of Qikou on the 15th map, and said: "We have sent troops to fight in Qikou before, so we are familiar with the terrain of Qikou, but we don't know anything about Liugu further ahead. It's easy to fall into a passive state if you start a war rashly like this!"

"Yes," Su Dingfang also leaned over to look at the map, "There is a big difference between being familiar with the terrain and being unfamiliar with the terrain! Once you are familiar with the terrain, it will be of great help to the battle situation. Otherwise, you may start from the very beginning. It's at a disadvantage!"

Li You frowned and pondered after hearing this, and said, "According to the meaning of the two generals, we need to send scouts to investigate first?"

Li You looked at the general terrain on the map, surrounded by mountains and mountains, even if you took out a telescopic mirror, it would be difficult to play any role, and the line of sight would be greatly obscured.

And the more complex the terrain, the more it is necessary to be able to figure it out before the war.

It’s like starting a war on the plains, it doesn’t matter what the terrain is, but if you have a black eye in a place surrounded by mountains, it’s simply going to die. The enemy blocks you in any valley, and the entire army will be at your mercy. People are slaughtered!

Therefore, the importance of doing a good job of Liugu intelligence is self-evident!

"Exactly," Li Ji replied as expected, "otherwise, we would be at a huge disadvantage, because the enemy must be very familiar with Liugu, so they could easily set up traps and annihilate us based on the terrain and terrain! "

"But what we know, the enemy must also know. Gaochang Kingdom must have sent a large army to Tiandi City now, even if the time waits for us to arrive, right?"

Li You said lightly: "And they also have scouts. Once they sense the movement, they will come over soon. Our army of [-] people can't completely hide their whereabouts, so it will inevitably be exposed, attracting scouts from Gaochang Kingdom."

"And when we send scouts to figure out the terrain, their scouts must have sent the news back, and we will be facing a well-prepared enemy army!"

At present, in the era of no telephone and Internet or telegraph, the transmission of information is very underdeveloped, so there will definitely be a time difference.

If you can grasp this time difference, you will be able to catch Gaochang by surprise and give the Tang army an advantage, but if you take the time to send scouts, then the enemy must have already heard the news!

"This is also true. After all, Liugu's structure is very complicated. When the scouts figure it out, it may have been a long time."

Su Dingfang pondered, obviously very hesitant.

In the end, should we first figure out the terrain and topography, so as to smooth out the disadvantage of the unequal intelligence of the two sides, or should we attack directly and seize the opportunity when the other party is defenseless?

"Although what His Royal Highness the King of Chu said makes sense, we can attack at a time when Gaochang never expected, but I still insist on being safe. We must first understand the topography!"

When Su Dingfang was still thinking, Li Ji said firmly.

The characteristic of Li Ji's wars is stability, not the type of surprise and conspiracy, so Li Ji pays special attention to foolproof preparations before the war.

This is indeed very reasonable, so Li You did not refute, but walked out of the account.

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

Su Dingfang asked in surprise, Li You smiled: "I'll take a look around, do you want to come together?"

"Of course, the last commander must protect the safety of His Highness, otherwise how can he face His Majesty when he returns to the court?"

Su Dingfang said solemnly, and after saying hello to Li Ji, he also walked out of the tent, leaving Li Ji alone to plan the next move.

Soon, Su Dingfang and Li You rode out of the station and rushed towards Liugu.

"His Royal Highness, you said that 037's go to look around... Are you going to Liugu?"

After walking for a while, Su Dingfang had clearly understood Li You's goal, and couldn't help but feel even more surprised.

"Yeah, Liu Gu is not far away anyway, and will be there soon."

Li You nodded, but Su Dingfang was incomparably confused - what is His Highness the King of Chu going to Liugu for now?At least a few days before the war begins, right?

However, Su Dingfang has never been a talkative person, and it's not a bad thing to look at the battlefield before the battle. Therefore, Su Dingfang guards Li You and walks around Liugu while paying attention to concealment.

"Wait for me here, I'll go up and have a look."

Sometimes Li You would stop, and after giving Su Dingfang an order, he would rush up the rock wall with a swish.

The speed was so fast that Su Dingfang didn't even have time to stop him, so he could only stare at the vigorous figure of Li You climbing easily.

"His Royal Highness King Chu's skills are so good?!"

Although he doesn't know what Li You is going to do, now Su Dingfang has nothing but admiration left. He feels that even if he has practiced martial arts for many years, he will definitely not be able to do these actions of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

Chapter 603 This is too heaven-defying! ?

Li You runs up the mountain from time to time, not because he has awakened the soul of rock climbing enthusiasts, but with a purpose.

With Li You's terrifying skills and powerful light skills as a martial artist, Li You can leap up the cliffs that are difficult and dangerous for ordinary people as easily as taking stairs.

Even many places that ordinary people can't reach at all can't help Li You, because Li You's current martial arts realm has already surpassed the scope of normal people.

"This should be the last point."
