I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Jiuquan County.

On the gate tower.

Li Ji still sits on the gate tower.

The soldiers under his command, now that they have eaten and drank enough, one by one Essence, Qi, and Spirit has recovered. Although she still looks a little thin, she has spirit and strength. It’s just that there is not much food in the city. According to the current situation, it can’t support it for three days. However, Li Ji is not worried, because Li Shimin’s army has arrived and is fighting with Du Qi’s army.

While Li Ji was reading in the room, a sentinel quickly entered and reported: “Manager Li, there is the latest battle report from the Changbaipo front line. Please read it.”

Li Ji took the letter and waved his hand. The sentry stepped back. Li Ji opened the letter and read it quickly. When he finished reading the contents of the letter, he frowned.

The content of the letter is that Li Shimin attacked Changbaipo.

The army attacked, but stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Have never won Changbaipo.

Li Ji immediately called Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, and quickly told the news that Li Shimin had failed to attack Changbaipo, and then continued: “His Majesty was blocked on the front line of Changbaipo. Killed in the county seat. And our stock of food has become less and less. So this official believes that we no longer have the possibility of delaying time. Continue to delay, it is even more harmful to us. Therefore, the official decided to break through tonight. How about you guys out of town?”

Zhangsun Wuji frowned.

They know about Li Shimin’s army, which is more than 200,000.

Know that Persia is also attacking.

However, it still hasn’t affected Du Qi’s army.

Zhangsun Wuji said solemnly: “The current situation is indeed unfavorable for us. Alas, this Persian side is really disappointing. Even Du Qi side, I don’t know where to get the news. Part of the troops was actually divided to Western Regions. However, it was only a weak force, and Persia could not win quickly. If Persia has won the victory now, it will help us a lot.”

Wei Zheng said “I haven’t got the news yet. I don’t know what will happen in the end. At the moment I still agree with Manager Li’s analysis that we will be out of town at night.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “We are out of town. , Is to directly attack the Xia Country army outside the city. Or, directly withdraw to the Changbaipo line.”

Wei Zheng said: “Naturally retreat, go to Changbaipo to meet His Majesty. Only Only by joining with His Majesty’s army can we ensure the safety of the army. After all, we do not have enough food, even if we have weapons at the moment, it will be greatly affected. Once blocked, or surrounded, chased and intercepted, it will be extremely detrimental to us.”

Zhangsun Wuji nodded.

Both of them have already defaulted, this time they withdrew directly to the direction of Changbaipo.

Li Ji said with a bitter smile: “Duke of Qi, Wei Xiang, you two think things too simply. If there is only our city, there is no wall outside the city, we It must be a very simple thing to evacuate. But at the moment, all around the city is surrounded by walls, and the surrounding area is directly surrounded by Xia Country troops. We have to break out, and we will be blocked first. So right now, Whether it is safe to evacuate, this is the most critical.”

After Zhangsun Wuji heard this, he suddenly thought of this question.

This is indeed real.

Their strength is not weak, but there is a wall around it, and all soldiers have to get over the wall from here. Once over the wall, the opponent can use this to block. Even if it is impossible to deploy mines, grenades can be used.

Zhangsun Wuji said solemnly: “Now it seems that it really needs to be arranged carefully. In my opinion, when we evacuated at night, we adopted a strategy of dividing our forces to break through. Although there is an Xia Country army outside the city , But our forces were scattered. We broke through the Four-sided City gate at the same time, and then joined forces on the way to the east of Changbaipo. In a huge city, the army of Xia Country had to block the forces on all sides, but not Sure.”

Wei Zheng said: “We can only break through like this at the moment.”

Li Ji was not satisfied, and shook his head: “If it is this break, it will actually be against us. In terms of breaking out from all directions, there is essentially no difference. Because the army of Xia Country outside the city, once learned of the situation, especially because we are breaking through the encirclement from all sides, they must split their forces to respond. Under this premise, We are just breaking through, and I don’t think it’s appropriate. I want to break through, but I want to counterattack more. This is the key to breaking out.”

Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng heard that it was for a while. There was silence.

The two agree with Zhangsun Wuji’s analysis.

This makes sense.

“Manager Li, I have a plan.”

Suddenly, Zhangsun Wuji’s eyes flashed a bright light, and a deep voice opened the mouth and said.

Li Ji said: “Duke of Qi, please say.”

Zhangsun Wuji said solemnly: “Our method is very simple, that is, arranging two roads is a real breakthrough. Or, this The two routes are to attract Xia Country’s forces. The other two routes are not only to break through, but also to attack. Just now you said one point is very important, that is, Xia Country’s army, to completely block us in the city, then The only way is to evenly divide the strength and guard the four sides.”

“Only in this way can we block us.”

“Xia Country does not have many troops, since the forces are scattered , Then we focus on one part of the attack. The final result is that although we have a part of our troops, we are blocked. But the other army will inevitably break through and annihilate the other party.”

“This is ours Purpose.”

Zhangsun Wuji said: “So at the moment, two groups are randomly selected as decoys to attract the forces of Xia Country. The remaining two groups are the main forces, responsible for breaking through and destroying Xia Country’s troops. Then, go to the other directions to completely wipe out the Xia Country troops outside the city.”

Wei Zheng nodded in agreement, and said: “Duke of Qi’s analysis, that is It makes sense. Right now this is the way to break the game. His Majesty is in Changbaipo and can’t break through, so it’s up to us to break the game and revitalize the whole game.”

Li Ji’s reserved face, He also smiled and continued: “I also have an extended strategy here. Since Duke of Qi’s strategy is successful, we don’t need to go to Changbaipo and His Majesty to meet in the next step. Let’s go directly to Xia Country. , Retake Shazhou first, and then Yizhou. Du Qi’s rear is lost, and he will withdraw his troops.”

Speaking of this, Li Ji had a look of expectation in his eyes, saying: “As long as Du Qi is from Changbai When Po withdraws troops, His Majesty can take advantage of the victory. Then we have to win, that is with no difficulty. And if Du Qi does not withdraw, he will be alone, and there is no food supply in the rear, he will undoubtedly lose.”

Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard under his jaw and exclaimed, “Manager Li’s analysis is indeed reasonable. And after this analysis, although Du Qi guards Changbaipo, as long as Du Qi is deployed in Jiuquan County Losing, the whole situation has completely fallen to us. Therefore, we must win at the moment. As long as this victory is won, we will finish our work.”

Wei Zheng and Li Ji also nodded.

At this moment, the faces of the three are full of fighting spirit, because it is indeed an opportunity right now.

After the three of them discussed for a while, they swiftly took action, and each of them arranged dispatches to prepare for the breakout at night.
