Wang Shuo leaned on the saddle with his back and sat on the ground on the bonfire in the open space in the camp, studying the battle situation with the generals.The felt mat on the ground, surrounded by Liang Anguo, Hakesh and other ordinary generals, was discussing how to deal with He Jin's attack tomorrow.Liang Min was accustomed to Wang Shuo's habit of not paying attention to hierarchical etiquette, and no longer saluted Wang Shuo, nor did he let the generals salute her, but walked over directly, squatted beside Wang Shuo, and asked him how the battle situation was Wang Shuo said with a serious face: "Our army does not include the 10,000 cavalry who are being trained, and there are still more than 40,000 soldiers and soldiers; He Jin has almost 60,000 left.It's not afraid of a small number of people.He Jin's soldiers were already quite tired from continuous battles, and with the wounded, he actually did not have an advantage.Our soldiers waited for work under the city, got full rest, and their morale was high.After a day of fighting today, they have experienced life and death, and they can be regarded as elite soldiers. ”Then he sighed and said: "Where we are more passive is that our individual combat ability is not as good as the other party, so we need to gather and confront as much as possible, dare not disperse, and cannot defend all places."
If after a long time, He Jin sees this weakness, he has more troops than us, and it is easy for him to break through by dividing his troops, and a little breakthrough will cause greater panic.In this way, He Jin and we have a chance to win.Tomorrow will be the battle, and the outcome will still be unpredictable. ”Liang Min pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want to consider transferring General Lu Yinchang back" Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "Not for the time being."
He led the security forces to hold the Kamikawa Pass and could not move.I can't guarantee that the party in Lanzhou will not come west to help He Jin, he is the only force that stands in the way of the party's defense.Even if we fail under Xining City, we can still retreat to the surrounding villages and towns, and He Jin still can't completely destroy us.But if we put the party guards in again, it will be difficult for us to get out of the whole body.The security forces have no experience in actual combat, and although they are numerous, their combat strength is not strong. ”Liang Min thought about it and said: "Otherwise, before dawn, withdraw the army to the city, and we will rely on the city wall to defend it" Wang Shuo smiled slightly, Liang Min is quite smart, but like him, the two armies have little experience in actually attacking and defending on a large scale.He has been commanding operations continuously in the past few days, and he has accumulated a lot of experience, which is farther than Liang Min.He explained to her: "When we retreat to the city, we become a dead defense, which affects morale and loses the ability to maneuver.He Jin will use half of his troops to besiege us, and the other half of his troops will harass other states and counties, recruit troops, grab food, and strengthen himself.He can't be given that chance.It is not allowed to stay behind closed doors unless it is absolutely necessary. ”Liang Min was stunned for a moment, and asked for a long time: "According to what you say, Ningyuan Inspector Yuan's method of fighting against Houjin is not right" The story about Yuan Chonghuan's fight against Houjin was told to her by Wang Shuo when she was in Zhangxian, and she still remembered it.At that time, Wang Shuo had no combat experience in the Great Army, and he couldn't understand what actual combat was like, so he still admired Yuan Chonghuan.When he was in Zhangxian County, he told Liang Min that some of Yuan Chonghuan's methods for resisting Houjin were relatively naïve in the eyes of Wang Shuo, who has undergone actual combat training today.Now, he must correct the thoughts he told Liang Min when he was in Zhangxian, lest Liang Min be allowed to think and guide future actions with his wrong thoughts in the past.He smiled bitterly and said to Liang Min: "Inspector Yuan is a scholar, where will he build so many fortresses in the war, bind himself in the fortress, and after his appointment, the Jin soldiers will come and go freely and obtain more food and soldiers."
In this way, the Tartar can only fight more and more, and he himself will become weaker and weaker, and sooner or later he will lose. ”Liang Min frowned and pondered for a long time, knowing that Wang Shuo had learned a lot of the truth of war after fighting with He Jin, and couldn't help asking: "In your opinion, how can Inspector Yuan deal with Houjin Tieqi correctly" Wang Shuo thought for a while and said: "I haven't thought carefully about how to fight with Houjin."
But blindly sticking to it like Inspector Yuan, it seems that it is definitely not a way now, but Mao Wenlong, who was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, has some truth in his method.I think I will use cavalry against cavalry, and if I can't beat it, I will run, just like you did with Lu Wenbin in Zhangxian, fight guerrilla attacks with Huang Taiji on the plains, burn his grain, organize the Han people together, and cut off Huang Taiji's soldiers.Without the Han people to help Huang Taiji, counting on him to build a Jurchen in Jianzhou, sooner or later he will not be able to support it. ”Liang Min came to his senses and sighed: "Inspector Yuan has accumulated so much food and weapons in the fortress, and finally gave them to the Tartars, he will indirectly help Huang Taiji become stronger" Wang Shuo couldn't help but deeply admire Liang Min's cleverness.She understands a truth, and the next truth doesn't need to be told by others, she will think of it herself.With Liang Min, a smart girl, to help him, He Jin may be very difficult if he wants to defeat him under this Xining City.He smiled at Liang Min and said, "Those are too far away for us.Let's first think about how to beat He Jin, a yak who knows that it is wrong to follow Li Zicheng and does not repent. ”He Jin couldn't have imagined that Wang Shuo's actual strength was far more than what he saw.In the rear after his army passed, Lu Yinchang was already quietly assembling the security army, gradually gathering on the flat land west of Nianbo and Shangchuankou, building a barracks, digging a trench, and blocking He Jin's back road.Then, Lu Yinchang sent someone to report to Wang Shuo, waiting for orders at any time, and launched an attack from the rear of He Jin's army.Wang Shuo was worried that Lanzhou's party guard Suxi would aid He Jin, and secondly, he felt that he could completely defeat He Jin with the soldiers under the city who had been trained on the battlefield, and there was no need to let the security army with no combat experience participate in the battle and lose troops in vain.Therefore, he did not give the order for Lu Yinchang to attack.He Jin had already lost more than half of his troops, especially the failure of stealing the camp, and the loss of the cavalry used to maneuver and charge to break the formation, which was too great a loss for him.Without cavalry, Wang Shuo's half-hung cavalry, which was stepping up training, could pose a threat to him.He already vaguely felt in his heart that he had little chance of winning against Wang Shuo.It's like two people playing chess, one is a master, and every step is surprisingly successful; A chess player is average, poor to cope, and restricted everywhere.Although He Jin has a bad temper, he still sincerely admires people who can fight better than him, and he is not blindly arrogant.The reason why he really worked hard for Li Zicheng was because Li Zicheng was much smarter than him and He Yilong.Now that he has met Wang Shuo, although he has been fooled everywhere, has suffered losses repeatedly, and gradually let the other party take the initiative on the battlefield, he still admires Wang Shuo in his heart.If someone has 100,000 new troops, he can keep his 100,000 elite soldiers out of the city, which shows that people are smarter than him, and he can't do it if he doesn't accept it.But if he betrayed Li Zicheng and went to Wang Shuo because of this, this was not something that He Jin, who was full of loyal thoughts, could do.Just after midnight, the detectives of the East Sentinel brought back news that shocked him.In the area of Nianbo, in the flat land of Shangchuankou, there are more than 40,000 Ming troops who have set up camp, sealing the only way for him to retreat, He Jin was taken aback, the Ming army still has more than 40,000 elite soldiers, and there are more than 40,000 Ming troops under Xining City, adding up to 10,000, and the strength is almost twice as much as him, it seems that Wang Shuo is not a pure defense, he is going to destroy him under Xining City, no wonder Wang Shuo looks so calm and confident when the two people meet, he can't wait for death here, he must try to break out of the encirclement, return to Gansu, and then organize troops to counterattack
