Chapter 928: Li Dingguo changes his plan and asks for the moon
"This should be the Ottoman Sultan, right?"
Liu Xingming said to himself.
In fact, he knew very well that he could not act without permission at this time, so he just said a few words.
If you want to completely solve this hidden danger, you can only wait for His Highness King Jin to lead the army.
So what he has to do now is to silently lead his troops back to Isfahan.
"Let's go quietly, don't alert the snake."
...
...
The surroundings of Isfahan were already arranged like a pocket by the Ming and Persian troops. As long as the Ottomans rushed over foolishly, they would fall into this trap designed in advance.
In any case, the Persian army was used as vanguard, so Li Dingguo and the Ming army did not need to rush out to fight the Ottoman soldiers from the beginning.
There is a way to maintain energy and energy. Li Dingguo did not let the soldiers be idle, but kept the soldiers as good as possible.
With Liu Xingming's return, Li Dingguo urgently wanted to know the situation ahead.
"Xingming, you are back. Tell me quickly, where has the Ottoman barbarians arrived?"
Li Dingguo stepped forward cordially and patted Liu Xingming on the shoulder, just like he treated his own nephew.
Liu Xingming smiled silly and said, "I'm sorry for your highness and troubles, but Xingming is lucky enough to be humiliated. The Ottomans are indeed under the brink of troops. I roughly estimate it, and the total force is estimated to be around 200,000 to 300,000."
Li Dingguo and all the generals gasped, their eyes full of shock.
It’s not their fault. After all, the Ottomans are also very powerful. The previous failure only caused them a little frustration, and their overall strength was not greatly damaged.
This time, the Ottoman Sultan is probably going to have to burn his boats, which is why he concentrated so many troops to move his life with the Ming army.
"So, Xingming, you have already detected the movements of the Ottoman barbarians. Let's talk."
He stroked his beard and said.
Liu Xingming nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, King Jin, this is the case. The Ottoman barbarians have arrived at the Nora Valley. This valley is not very famous and is not marked on the map. We were also lucky to hit it. At that time, the Ottoman barbarians were stationed here, so we observed the shadows above the valley, observing the Ottomans' every move. However, I was considering that I could not alarm the snake, so I didn't make any statement. Thanks to the monocular telescope rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, this really helped a lot."
"In your opinion, are the Ottoman barbarians coming toward Isfahan?"
Li Dingguo asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, the Ottoman barbarians came in this direction. But their sultans seemed to be in the army, and seemed to be in charge of some imperial expeditions. So the overall marching speed of the army was very slow."
Liu Xingming said it was very pertinent, but Li Dingguo couldn't help but lit up when he heard it.
The Ottoman Sultan is also in the army, which is really a god-given opportunity.
If the Ottoman Sultan can be captured in this battle, it will definitely be an unexpected gain for the coalition forces.
No matter how powerful the Ottomans were, they were a monarchy country. Even the emperor was kidnapped. What kind of desire would he have to continue fighting? It must be to raise money to redeem the emperor. At this time, Li Dingguo proposed the request to open up the Silk Road, without thinking, and the Ottomans would agree immediately.
Wonderful, really wonderful.
"Xingming, you really made great contributions this time."
Li Dingguo sighed: "If we can capture the Ottoman emperor this time, we can surrender without fighting->>
The soldiers of man
.”
Originally, Liu Xingming was still wondering where his contribution was, but when he heard what Li Dingguo said, he woke up like a dream.
"Haha, this is all the blessings of His Highness King Jin. I dare not take credit for you."
Liu Xingming said modestly.
Li Dingguo waved his hand and said, "It's your credit, it's your credit. I'm not the kind of person who competes for credit with his subordinates. Besides, this battle is still a tough battle. Even if the Ottoman Sultan is not good, he will have 200,000 to 300,000 troops guarding him. Even if he is a pig, it's not easy to capture."
Li Dingguo paused for a moment and then continued: "So what I mean is that everyone has to work harder. Only the three armies can capture this thief."
"His Highness King Jin is right, how are the defense lines now?"
In the past half month after Liu Xingming left, he didn't know many things. He is now eager to figure out the situation.
"Well, there are two lines of defense in total. The Persians are the first and also serve as bait. We are the second one. But now it seems that I want to set the third one."
Li Dingguo has always been known for his use of military force as a god. His use of military force as a god is reflected in his ability to adapt to the situation and situation according to the war situation and situation.
Therefore, the generals who fought with Li Dingguo would comment on him very much.
This is of course a compliment.
Li Dingguo walked a few steps with his hands on his back: "Originally, I wanted to make a pocket and wait for the Ottomans to drill in. But now it seems a bit difficult. After all, there are 200,000 to 300,000 people in the enemy. If they spread out, they can't push them inward. But our pockets cannot be too small. But our troops are limited. If they are spread too open, there will definitely be a large gap. In this way, the possibility of the Ottomans breaking through is much higher. So I am thinking..."
He glanced at the generals and saw that no one wanted to answer the conversation, he said straight: "I am thinking, why not just arrange heavy troops at important nodes, so that once the enemy gathers together, we can cut them into several sections and defeat them one by one."
It's amazing!
Liu Xingming was so moved when he heard this.
I have to say that His Highness King Jin's method is really wonderful.
Set up ambushes at key nodes so that the number of troops at each ambush point will not be small.
When encountering the Ottoman army, the Ming army will not be at a disadvantage.
The Ottoman army, who were not familiar with the place, fought with the Persians again, must have been in a state of being trapped in the face of people.
At this time, the Ming army suddenly broke out and it was easy to cut off the Ottoman army.
Li Dingguo paced with his hands on his back, and suddenly turned around and said, "So I plan to set up an ambush here, here, here."
He pointed and pointed at the map hanging on the wall, outlining several important nodes.
"So I need three powerful generals, which general is willing to take the initiative to fight?"
The powerful generals under Li Dingguo are like clouds.
Like Hao Yaoqi, they have long been eager to try it out.
He swallowed and spitted, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, King Jin, I am willing to lead the troops to set up an ambush."
"Okay! General Hao is still happy."
Li Dingguo knew that Hao Yaoqi would volunteer and said with great satisfaction: "Since that's the case, then that's it. General Hao, you lead 50,000 people and set up an ambush at Parrot Ridge. We use fireworks as a sign. Once the Ottomans enter your defense zone, set off fireworks to report the news immediately."
"Get orders!"
Hao Yaoqi clasped his fists without hesitation and led his order.
