Li Ke read the battle plan given to him by Pei Xinglian in detail, glanced at him lightly and said with a smile, "I do not support this plan¡ª¡ª"
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Pei Xinglian didn't understand why Li Ke said that. (_¡¶¡·¡·)
"Your plan is very thorough and detailed. I like this battle plan very much." Li Ke said seriously, "However, you can also see the approximate number of casualties listed below. If we capture Baiyan City, we will lose a lot of money." There are more than 30,000 people. Now the military camp is all cavalry and there are no infantry. Is it worth losing 30,000 cavalry for a small White Rock City?"
"Your Highness¡ª¡ª" Pei Xinglian said with an embarrassed expression, "This is the student's dereliction of duty. Please forgive me¡ª¡ª"
"This cannot be blamed on you, nor is it your fault. The battle plan you made considers the victory or defeat of the war. As the commander of the army, I, as the commander of the army, also consider the number of casualties and the cost of the war. We view the war as Differences in this aspect arise from different viewpoints -" Li Ke said encouragingly to Pei Xinglian, "You have to remember that as a qualified commander, you should not only consider victory or defeat, but also consider how to use the minimum cost. Get the biggest win.¡±
"Thank you principal for your teaching. The students understand!" Pei Xinglian gave Li Ke a military salute unique to the black-clad guards.
"Go down. The Goryeo army may attack the camp tonight. You and Xue Li will discuss it and make arrangements-" Li Ke said lightly.
"Nuo¡ª¡ª" Pei Xinglian took the order and left.
After Pei Xinglian left, Li Ke picked up the battle plan again and read it carefully, with a faint smile on his lips. To be honest, he was very satisfied with this combat plan. He believed that this combat plan fully demonstrated that the educational level of the Army Academy had reached a new height. The plans were constantly written in detail, and they even made a rough estimate of how many personnel their side would lose during the battle.
However, it was for this reason that Li Ke did not want to capture Baiyan City. He said that he would lose 30,000 fine knights. This was one reason. Another reason is that Li Shimin attacked Baiyan City just after he left Baiyan City, which is definitely not good for him now. Furthermore, the more than 50,000 new army lieutenant generals are basically students of the Army Academy. Li Ke felt that he could 100% control this elite cavalry and could not let them serve as cannon fodder in the battle to attack Baiyan City.
These many reasons made Li Ke unwilling to go to war with Goryeo.
What he wants to do now is to fight Gao Li outside the city to kill Gao Li's arrogance. Let's negotiate peace with them and stabilize the current situation.
?Looking at the situation in Chang'an, we are making a strong move. If nothing changed in Chang'an City, he would attack Baiyan City and destroy the country of Goryeo. If something happened to Chang'an City, he would have to send his troops south to resolve the trouble in Chang'an. In his heart, Goryeo can be immortal, but domestic chaos cannot occur.
In the evening, Wang Zhongchang came in and reported that Xue Li and Pei Xinglian wanted to see them.
Li Ke asked the two of them to walk into the handsome account.
"See the principal¡ª¡ª"
"Is everything ready?" Li Ke asked.
"yes¡ª¡ª"
"Then let me see your masterpiece tonight -" Li Ke smiled lightly. He admired Xue Rengui and Pei Xinglian very much.
"Your Highness, we have set up a military tent on a high ground outside Baiyan City -" Xue Rengui said, but before he finished speaking, Li Ke smiled and said, "I know, you guys go and do your work - "
"Nuo¡ª¡ª" The two were ordered to leave.
"Zhongchang Wang¡ª¡ª" After the two left, Li Ke continued, "Go to the new camp¡ª¡ª"
"Nuo¡ª¡ª" Wang Zhongchang took the order.
When Li Ke arrived at the new camp, there were only 20,000 Turkic elite knights in addition to his own Eagle Guard and Wolf Cavalry battalions.
Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui did not requisition the Wolf Cavalry Battalion. They just used 50,000 new soldiers and 30,000 black cavalry troops to make some arrangements.
Standing on the high ground, Li Ke looked into the distance and said lightly, "Do you think there are loopholes in their deployment?"
"Your Highness, there is no loophole - the only shortcoming is that if all the 200,000 Korean troops leave the city, their deployed army will face a great test." Hou Hu thought for a while before answering.
"What do you think?" Li Ke asked Wang Zhongchang again.
"Your Highness, all the Koreans will not leave the city. They will only send out at most 100,000 people - if 100,000 people attack the camp at night, the deployment in front of them will be very careful!" Wang Zhongchang said.
Following Li Ke, Wang Zhongchang, Hou Hu and others were also influenced and had a certain understanding of military deployment.
"Let's wait and see!" Li Ke smiled faintly and returned to his tent to continue reading.
At night, the gate of Baiyan City opened, and the Goryeo army slowly left the city.
This time the Koreans dispatched an army of 100,000, and their leading general was named Li Yanshun.
The Goryeo army left Baiyan City and divided into three groups and headed straight for the Tang army¡¯s camp.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - In the dark night, the sound of horse hooves is very clear.
"General, two miles ahead is the Tang Army's camp. There is a noise in their camp -" the scout replied.
"Hmph - are they celebrating?" Li Yanshun said coldly, "Order the army - to attack the Tang army's camp -"
¡°Yes¡ª¡ª¡± The ordering soldier took the order.
Li Yanshun and an army of 100,000 men attacked the Tang army camp.
The distance of two miles was not far, and we arrived at the gate of the Tang army in a short time.
Because the Koryo people successfully blocked the siege of the Tang Dynasty army under Baiyan City, the Koryo people began to become arrogant and arrogant. They did not pay attention to whether there were guards at the camp gate, and the army swarmed towards the camp.
Li Yanshun led his 10,000 personal guards to attack the Tang army's central tent.
However, when the Korean army entered the camp, they found that the camp was empty. There was nothing except scattered weeds and a few dilapidated tents.
When Li Yanshun reached the Chinese army's tent, he found that the camp was empty and realized that he had been tricked.
Before he could give the order, he heard a soldier shouting, "Fire - fire -" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sky streaking across like a meteor, and arrows burning with flames shot towards the camp. When the arrows landed on the camp, they burned together with the weeds on the ground. Many soldiers were hit by arrows and their bodies were set on fire.
Because the Tang army used kerosene on its feather arrows, the same kind of oil used to deal with Tibetan sieges. As long as it drips on the body, it can burn you through.
¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± screams kept coming and going.
Immediately, the fire began to spread in the camp. Many members of the Goryeo army were already buried in the sea of ??fire. The morale of the soldiers began to be unstable and the army was in panic.
"How could this happen?" Li Yanshun asked in confusion, and then shouted, "Withdraw¡ª¡ª"
When the order was given, he was the first to ride towards the gate.
However, as soon as Li Yanshun rushed to the camp gate, he found that the camp gate was already in flames, making it impossible to get out.
On the opposite side of the fire, a member of the Tang Army looked at him coldly. His eyes were cold, and even the fire in front of him could not dissolve this cold light. Li Yanshun couldn't help but shudder.
"Drive¡ª¡ª" Li Yanshun did not dare to look at Tang Jun, and rode back to the camp to continue looking for an exit.
When Xue Rengui at the gate of the camp saw Li Yanshun leaving, a faint sneer appeared on his lips, and he led his bodyguards out of the camp gate.
