" I'm a surrendered general, and I've been ostracized. You know this too."
Xue Wanche let out a long sigh and lowered his head without saying anything.
"General Xue, it is precisely because you are being ostracized that you should work harder to pull yourself together! Otherwise, wouldn't he be a laughing stock?”Fang Yi 'ai said sternly.
These words hit the nail on the head!
Xue Wanche raised his head in surprise." You sound like you're confident in winning. Why don't you tell me?"”
"General Xue, your right army and Li Xiaogong's left army will only serve as a distraction in this invasion. If I'm not wrong, Su Dingfang's main target is here…"
Fang Yi 'ai tapped heavily on the map!
"Dingxiang City?"
Xue Wanche was shocked." Dingxiang City is an important city in the Turkic hinterland. The main force is there. The Jie Li Khan will definitely send heavy troops to guard it. Why would Su Dingfang attack this place directly?"”
Fang Yiai smiled but didn't say anything!
There were some things that didn't need to be said.
Sure enough, Xue Wanche was silent for a while before he realized.
All was fair in war. If even he didn't think of it, Jie Li Khan might not think of it either.
Now that the three armies had a total of 130,000 men fighting against the Turks, and the Turks had gathered nearly 150,000 men to fight against the Tang army, the rear was definitely empty. Su Dingfang had taken advantage of this.
"You are not a roundworm in Commander-in-chief Su Dingfang's stomach, how can you be sure?”Xue Wanche believed it in his heart, but he said something else.
Going to war was not like singing opera on stage, and a great general was not domineering. Once he lost his soldiers and generals, what awaited him was his reputation being ruined and his life in prison.
Xue Wanche had to be careful!
I don't ask for merit, just don't ask for fault.
"General Xue, if you don't believe me, you can wait for three days before asking.”Fang Yi 'ai smiled and cupped her hands, then turned around and left the tent.
Xue Wanche lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he stood up and said sternly,""Men! Pass on my order to set off immediately. There must be no mistakes!”
Along the way, Xue Wanche led the army and arrived at Ying Province in five days.
After entering the city, he ordered the troops to rest.
He also sent people to inquire about the situation of the other two armies and got a piece of news--the left army Hejian Prince Li Xiaogong fought with Ashina Duer, the general under the account of Jie Li Khan, in the cloud.
The two sides fought fiercely for several days, and both sides had wins and losses.
Therefore, Li Xiaogong ordered to dig deep trenches and build high forts to confront the enemy.
The middle troops of Commander Su Dingfang were gathering in Yunzhong, seemingly to support Li Xiaogong and fight a big battle in Yunzhong.
Xue Wanche was also experienced in battle and could see the clues at a glance.
Thus, he ordered people to invite Fang Yiai into the tent to discuss countermeasures.
"Commandant Fang, the plan you mentioned before is feasible!”Xue Wanche frowned and his eyes lit up.
As a former subordinate of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, who had been ostracized, he was more eager than anyone else to prove himself. From Su Dingfang's arrangement, he could smell a trace of opportunity.
However, he did not understand, so he invited Fang Yi 'ai over to discuss.
"General Xue, if you trust me, please allow me to lead my troops and act according to the situation!”Fang Yi 'ai asked.
" Your plan is-"
Xue Wanche asked further, but Fang Yi 'ai frowned,""The battlefield is constantly changing. I can only lead the army deep into the enemy's rear and act according to the situation.”
"Commandant Fang, this battle is of utmost importance to both of us. We can't afford to lose it." Xue Wanche said with a solemn expression. Whatever armaments or provisions you want, just go and get them!”
One was a general who had been ostracized, and the other was the Prince Consort who had publicly divorced the princess of the Tang Empire. The two of them could be considered to have understood each other.
Xue Wanche was determined to gamble with Fang Yiai!
If he lost, he would completely withdraw from the army and hide in the mountains.
"General Xue, don't worry. I will not fail my mission!”
Fang Yi 'ai did not stand on ceremony, she opened Ying Prefecture's treasury and took over a thousand warhorses and fifty thousand bows and arrows.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong had given him warhorses, bows, and arrows in the group space. They had enough resources to fight.
Fang Yi 'ai ordered the five thousand men to have a good meal and advance under the cover of the night.
In February, the desert wind was as cold as a knife, and the night was dark.
Fang Yi 'ai and the soldiers traveled through the grasslands.
At the same time, Xue Wanche was anxiously waiting in Ying Zhou.
The night was dark, and the sound of drums shook the world.
Outside the city, the Turkic cavalry surged forward like a tide, blocking out even the light of dawn!
Dark clouds covered the city and killing intent blotted out the sun.
The Tang Dynasty lieutenant guarding the city saw this scene and rushed into the tent to report to the commander.
"Haha!"
Xue Wanche couldn't help but laugh,""Fang Yi 'ai was right! Jie Li Khan's younger brother Tuli Khan really led the army to attack Yingzhou. This way, Fang Yi 'ai's 5,000 cavalry had an opportunity to take advantage of.”
"Pass on my orders. Hold fast and wear down the Turkic cavalry!”
The Turks were skilled in cavalry combat, not siege warfare.
Xue Wanche defended the city and used delaying tactics with the Turkic cavalry.
The moment the Turks attacked, the Rolling Wood Thunder Stones would rain down like a storm, turning the enemy into a bloody mess. Once the Turks retreated, Xue Wanche would send elite cavalry to harass them, causing the Turks to suffer.
The two sides had been at a stalemate for more than ten days. Xue Wanche had killed more than 1,700 enemies and won a small victory.
