At this moment, Li Xiaogong is confused.
Your wishful thinking has failed!
It was originally thought that Tang Hao would eventually get stuck under the solid Xiangcheng city by riding lightly over Datong, walking through Mayi and turning over the evil Yangling.
The skeptical Jieli Khan must have thought that the Tang Dynasty would encircle the Turkic army from the flank, so he had to send troops to Yuanchi Xiangcheng.
The 100000 elite soldiers led by him quietly increased the number of subordinates of Su dingfang, which virtually opened the gap with the Turkic army. When the Turks besieged Tang Hao, he led 150000 Tang soldiers to annex the Turkic army in one fell swoop.
But the problem is that Li Xiaogong did not calculate that Tang Hao would destroy the city one day, let alone that Tang Hao would kill the city! Not even the Turkic soldiers who reported!
As a result, Li Xiaogong''s plan was completely disintegrated! The situation has also become extremely embarrassing!
If we continue to fight a decisive battle with the Turkic army, the odds of victory will not be 40%. The conservative Li Xiaogong will never fight such a steep battle.
If the battle is narrowly won, or if it is miserably defeated, it is absolutely unacceptable to Li Xiaogong, who has made great contributions.
The honor of a soldier is above all else.
The more you think down, the more angry Li Xiaogong is.
Kick over the front table and scold.
"These two bastards are bad for me!"
Li Xiaogong put the blame on Tang Hao.
But he never thought that this surprise attack was highly praised by himself in the court, and Tang Hao just fulfilled his promise.
He also completely ignored it. From beginning to end, he kept Tang Hao and Chumo in secret, and always regarded them as a chess piece.
He never reflected on himself. The culprit of all this was his own caution.
……
On the vast grassland, the team under the banner of "Tang" still ran in the vast green.
After two nights of nonstop attack, 3000 soldiers and horses were sleepy, including Tang Hao himself.
Tang Hao took off his armor and plunged into a pick stream. It took a long time to raise his head. After shaking his wet hair, the cool stream temporarily took away most of his fatigue.
To cheer up, Tang Hao roughly cleaned his clothes and armor. Looking at the fighting soldiers in the river at this time, he was very happy. He was tired all the way. At this time, he was a little relaxed and comfortable.
Tang Hao''s eyes fell in the distance, thick smoke rose, and a large tent of Turkic tribes was being swallowed and submerged by the fire.
Along the way, I learned a lot about the southern front from the mouth of these Turkic tribes.
Just then, Chumo wears his armor again and walks towards Tang Hao.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Tang Hao slowly turns to see Chumo.
Chumo looks at Tang Hao''s rough face and bearded face and says jokingly.
"I can''t imagine that a handsome young man has become a rough man now. Ha ha ha ha."
Tang Hao smiled back, but for a moment he looked solemn and said.
"Brother Cheng! What do you think of this raid on Yinshan?"
Chumo can''t figure out why Tang Hao asked such an inexplicable question. He tells the truth.
"The commander sent our light cavalry just to disperse the main force. Most of them thought we would be stuck in Xiangcheng, but brother Tang''s practice puzzled me."
Tang Hao stood with his hands down, looked at the blue sky and said calmly.
"Yes, General Li will think we are stuck in Xiangcheng. It''s good that the Turkic army must send troops to reinforce, but it backfired. Now it seems that no army is coming."
As he spoke, Tang Hao looked at Chumo''s Bronze face and said word by word.
"At present, there are 150000 Tang sergeants in general Li and 180000 Turkic troops in Jieli Khan. There is a great gap between the two sides."
"Moreover, these tribal barbarians also said that their army is still reinforcing. I estimate that the final Turkic army will increase to 190000."
Hearing the speech, Chumo said slowly with a dignified face.
"But it''s true. It''s hard to predict the outcome of this war! Brother Tang, where are we going? What do you think?"
Tang Hao''s eyes were radiant, revealing a determination.
"Now we are sinners, and the division of troops is still the top priority."
"Sin Minister?"
Chumo repeats these two words. He doesn''t know what Tang Hao means.
Tang Hao said calmly.
"General Li''s intention is to use us as bait to attract Turkic forces, so that he can occupy the number advantage in the front battlefield and annihilate Turks at one stroke."
"Now, the Turkic army on the front line is not divided into one soldier, and the northern territory is still deadlocked. If we are defeated, we will certainly impose the blame on us."
Chumo, a young general guarding the border, is very proficient in these battlefield situations, but he knows better about such calculations.
After Tang Hao''s advice, he suddenly realized that he couldn''t help feeling a chill in his heart and felt a cold sweat on his forehead.
Unexpectedly, in the battle of Xiangcheng, I made a great achievement, but I ended up with this crime. I hurried to ask.
"Well... What should I do?"
Tang Hao pondered for a moment.
"Li Xiaogong is suspected of being unkind and unjust, but we can''t be angry. This battle is related to the national fortune. When the northern border is gone, all generals can''t escape the blame."
"The arrow is on the line and has to be sent. The trip to Yinshan still has to continue."
"The urgent task is to make Jieli Khan think that a large number of Tang soldiers have appeared in their rear area, so as to attract his attention and reduce the pressure on the front line."
Hearing the speech, Chumo touches the stubble on his chin.
"Now it''s the hinterland of the grassland. It''s impossible to find help from the Tang Dynasty, and we have to play the sign of digging up the Tang army. It seems... It''s difficult for us to become tens of thousands of Tang army."
Tang Hao pondered for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up and said.
"If we change the colors of flags and costumes, maybe we can confuse the true with the false, so as to confuse the Turks!"
Chumo can''t help but marvel at this young man with strange ideas! I can''t help but pay some respect to the boy with strange ideas.
