Xue Rengui and Ma Yuan led the army on their way. Although there were only 10,000 elite soldiers this time, the soldiers in the army were actually equipped with excellent equipment. The gunpowder, grenades and mines can be described as fully armed.
Arriving here in Kucha, Du Qi no longer hides his weapons.
When dealing with Tong Yehu, Du Qi was still a little bit hidden, unwilling to take out the weapon of guarding the house. But now, he governs the three prefectures of Yizhou, Gaochang and Yanqi, and his strength has increased.
Especially the Western Regions are different from the Central Plains. In this case, in order to expand their strength again, Du Qi allowed Xue Rengui and others to use new weapons.
The army hurried on its way, and when it was still a day away from the city of Kucha, the sentry sent back news that Ye Kongchan had led 20,000 standing elites and 10,000 conscripted civilians to kill them.
After Xue Rengui heard the news, the army continued on their way, but Xue Rengui stopped to discuss with Ma Yuan and Yi Fusheng.
Xue Rengui took out the map of Kucha Kingdom.
This was given by Yi Fusheng.
At the same time, there were also sentries who inquired about the local situation and supplemented the map. Today's map of Kucha Kingdom is quite complete, and the information is very detailed.
Xue Rengui said: "Yi Canjun, General Ma, and Ye Kongchan from Kucha Kingdom led 30,000 people to come straight to us. Obviously, they want to stop our attack. In this situation, Yi Canjun and General Ma, do you have any plans?" A strategy to defeat the enemy."
Yi Fusheng narrowed his eyes and said: "General Xue, I think the situation is actually very simple. Today, although we are smaller than the other party, our fighting power is far superior to the other party. Especially since we have more advanced weapons, so I think the situation is very simple. At the moment, it is completely possible to use gunpowder and grenades to catch the opponent by surprise."
Ma Yuan echoed: "I agree with Yi Canjun's suggestion to use gunpowder and grenades to attack. This time, we will use this weapon to completely defeat the troops of the Kucha Kingdom."
Xue Rengui said: "How does Yi Canjun plan to plan?"
Yi Fusheng's hand landed on the map.
The location is called Qingqiuyuan.
Yi Fusheng said: "This place is called Qingqiuyuan, and it is more than ten miles away from us. I am very impressed with this area. It is a plain area with endless roads, flat and open."
"After taking us to Qingqiuyuan, we will stay here until the army of Kucha Kingdom Ye Kongchan arrives. I don't think it is possible for the army of Kucha Kingdom to initiate an attack. Once they arrive, they will definitely be near us. Stationed and confronted."
"At that time, we will wait until night time, lead our army closer, use the catapult to throw gunpowder into the camp of Kucha Kingdom, break the opponent's defense, and then attack directly."
Yi Fusheng talked eloquently, and said: "The gunpowder at present has already been formed, and there are still some in clay pots. We can use a catapult to throw it. As long as the fuse is made longer, the gunpowder can be thrown in the air. Swipe across and land in the camp to explode."
"The camp of the Kucha Kingdom exploded and caught fire. If this happened, if you didn't know it was gunpowder, you must think it was the power of ghosts and gods. The army of the Kucha Kingdom must be in chaos."
"We will take advantage of the victory to pursue and break the Kucha army in one go."
"This battle is won."
Yi Fusheng looked confident, and said: "We have gunpowder and are stronger enough to win easily."
Ma Yuan praised after listening: "Yi Junjun's suggestion is good, this is the most direct arrangement. We don't need to make it so complicated, we don't need to make it so troublesome. As long as we can win, it is a good strategy."
Xue Rengui thought about it carefully, and said: "I think the general direction of this plan is fine, but certain adjustments need to be made. The adjustment is the order in which gunpowder is used."
Yi Fusheng smiled slightly and asked: "General Xue thinks, how should we adjust?"
Xue Rengui immediately began to explain his thoughts.
The adjustment of the whole plan is not complicated.
Yi Fusheng and Ma Yuan nodded in approval after listening. Because Xue Rengui's suggestion is very good. Although it is a simple adjustment, the heavy damage to the Kucha army must be greatly increased.
Yi Fusheng said: "General Xue, that's the plan. Hurry up and hurry up. When we arrive at Qingqiuyuan, we will settle down and prepare for the attack at night."
Xue Rengui nodded, and continued on his way with Yi Fusheng and Ma Yuan. The army continued to move forward, and the three rode on horseback. In a short time, they had already run to the front, and Xue Rengui even gave the order to go at full speed.
There is no war happening right now, and there will be no war when it arrives, so you can go at full speed. Because it was not far from Qingqiu, the speed of the journey was fast, and they arrived at Qingqiuyuan in a short time.
Xue Rengui ordered to stay where he was.
The place where the army is stationed is close to the water source and the surrounding is open and flat, so it is not easy to be attacked.
Ten thousand troops set up camp quickly.
The camp was set up and heavily guarded, while Xue Rengui waited quietly.
Everything is ready now, just wait.
In the afternoon when Shen Shi was approaching, the sentry sent out by Xue Rengui sent back news that the 30,000 troops led by Ye Kongchan had arrived at Qingqiuyuan, but Ye Kongchan did not directly kill them, and set up camp eight miles away from Xue Rengui's camp. , and Xue Rengui confronted each other.
Xue Rengui was extremely happy when he got the news, because he needed the confrontation between the two armies.
for easy action at night.
Attacking during the day is easy to be discovered, and it is easy to scare the enemy, and even Ye Kongchan's soldiers are easier to avoid. At night, when the gunpowder suddenly explodes, the shock will be even greater. Especially at night, when the fire is burning in the camp, it is easy for the catapult hiding in the dark to aim at it without revealing its position.
It's a good deal no matter what.
Xue Rengui did not send troops immediately, but the camp where Ye Kongchan led the army was stationed.
Ye Kongchan sat upright on the head of the Chinese army tent, with a group of generals below him. He looked around at the generals in the army, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we have now arrived at Qingqiuyuan, confronting Du Qi's army."
"You all know the combat effectiveness of Du Qi's army. They are definitely capable of fighting well. Otherwise, they won't be able to win more with less and directly destroy all of Tong Yehu's troops."
"Under this premise, what we have to do is very simple, which is to use defense as an offense. As long as we defend Qingqiuyuan so that Du Qi's army cannot break through Qingqiuyuan, we will be successful."
"Taking the initiative, this officer does not agree."
After a pause, Ye Kongchan continued: "This king hopes to use defense as an offense. Do you have any suggestions?"
All the generals agreed after hearing the words.
Du Qi's military strength is obvious to all.
If it wasn't for Chi Ping's effort to resist, these generals in the army would have already given up. That is to say, they followed Ye Kongchan now, and with Ye Kongchan in charge, they stayed in the army to resist.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Ye Kongchan waved his hand and said: "Since there is no objection, let's go down and make arrangements, order the soldiers to stand in line, and watch out for Du Qi's army to kill."
Everyone was ordered to turn around and retreat.
Following the retreat of the crowd, Ye Kongchan let out a long sigh of relief. It's just that deep in his eyes, there is a deep sadness. Because the current situation is very pessimistic. Even if he is the captain of the Kucha Kingdom, he is not sure that he can hold Qingqiuyuan.
Not to mention that he was not sure that he could defeat Du Qi's army. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
