Chapter 123 Combination of virtual and real
"Deputy Marshal, Yu Chaoen's death this time can win some time for our army, but the city of Youzhou is strong and has sufficient soldiers and enough food, and it is not possible to take it down in a short while. To attack such a city, it still requires extraordinary strategies!"
This time Li Qing said something first. He knew that such a city that seemed to have no flaws, whether it was Guo Ziyi or Li Guangbi, had his own experience in dealing with such a war.
"Yes, since Shi Siming had wanted to defeat us one by one before, if we had no movement in a few days, Shi Siming would definitely launch heavy troops to attack."
Guo Ziyi obviously had a certain judgment on Shi Siming's actions, and Li Guangbi and Li Li nodded slightly after hearing this.
Under such circumstances, all three of them knew that the method of responding to changes in the same way would not work. If they wanted to take a little lead in this battle, they had to take action first.
If you just wait for Shi Siming to send troops, even if they can escape the first day of the lunar month, they will still be unable to escape the fifteenth day. Even if they have ten thousand ways to set up ambush, you don’t know when your family will be equal to zero when they leave the city.
"What we should do now is to draw Shi Siming's team out according to the time and place we want. Since our army does not have an advantage in number, only the right time and place can bring our army a victory."
Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi pointed out the key point of this battle in two sentences, that is, they had to lead the enemy out of the impregnable Youzhou City.
Of course, this battle will definitely not be done if you lead the enemy out and then occupy Youzhou.
Li Yan knew that they did this just to destroy some of the enemy's elites and to make the enemy's morale fall a little. After all, Yu Chaoen was killed by the enemy before, so the enemy's morale was at a very high position.
"Two generals, if there is a place where I, Li, need to charge, will go."
Although Li Yi had many ideas in his mind, he knew that he would never be able to stand up in front of these two great gods, so he decided to put his posture a little lower, do some charge first, and then do some difficult things after he further gained the recognition of both of them.
Sure enough, although Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi didn't say it directly, they still admire Li Yi's idea very much. Guo Ziyi is so old, it's okay to let him command the central army, but if you really let him take his troops to charge into battle, if you fail to lose any physical strength, it would be a huge loss to the Tang Dynasty.
After studying for more than half a day, they finally decided on this first serious plan. Of course, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were dominant throughout the process.
Li Ren listened most of the time. Although there was something in his heart, he definitely didn't want to show it at this time, because he was also unclear about many of the situations ahead.
If you want to know what the enemy is in, you must fight first before you know it, right?
In fact, Li Qing wanted to be the first person to be the one who was hit, because he knew that if Shi Siming wanted to use various ways to defeat him, the person who was defeated first would definitely be him. Shi Siming would not choose Li Guangbi, who had just defeated him in Taiyuan Prefecture, and would not choose Guo Ziyi.
The plan that the three of them finally decided was to use unchange to correspond to the possible changes that Shi Siming might bring. Since Li Neng not only did not gain any advantage in the previous call, he lost Yu Chaoen. With Li Neng's identity as a prince in his twenties, if he was directly timid, it would obviously not fit his personality.
So they decided to ask Li Yi to organize his own troops immediately after he went back. Once he could attract Shi Siming's soldiers to fight, there would be a way to do this.
By then, Li Neng would definitely be the first to receive the enemy's attack, and his purpose was to introduce Shi Siming's troops to the designated position within a certain period of time.
The faster the time, the better. In order not to let Shi Siming notice anything in advance, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's men could only act in secret. The three of them circled the approximate time and place based on their own experience and realized that if Li Yan really let the people in Youzhou City leave the city, they had to take these men and horses outside the city and took the time to bring them into the pre-set place.
This requires a very high ability of the troops. Once Shi Siming sent out the most elite troops in Youzhou City, they may have been wiped out by the others before the time comes.
However, these are not the issues that Li Yi needs to consider at this time. He knew that war was definitely not something he could calculate everything himself. Once something happens, it would only lead to a failure.
The three of them did plan everything, and the actions of the soldiers outside the city were basically under the control of Scout Shi Siming.
Shi Siming attached great importance to the two opponents Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi. He also understood that if he really competed with the ability of several people to lead troops to fight, he would not be able to compare with Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi.
So he asked himself to be cautious, but Li Yan lost the eunuch who was almost the highest-ranking position because of his previous provocation. Shi Siming didn't think Li Yan had any ability. He could appear in these three armies, and as a chief general, in Shi Siming's view, it was mostly because of his identity as a prince, not his ability.
"The Tang army has been hesitating for the past few days. It seems that I was killing Yu Chaoen and was intimidating them. Although this eunuch is not a person, it can be seen from his own words that Li Heng still trusts him very much. Such a trustworthy person is lost to the hands of the three of them. Can Li Heng not be resentful?"
Shi Siming said to Geng Renzhi, the current counselor under his command, in the city. He obviously knew that killing an eunuch like this would actually have no impact on the combat effectiveness of Guo Ziyi and the others. However, considering that Li Heng was very likely to be furious, he still killed Yu Chaoen.
