Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Then we need to discuss how many cavalry it is appropriate to send." All the generals nodded and said, it is still early for the war, so there is enough time to discuss tactics.

"But is this really feasible? Although the cavalry is very mobile, if they stay in these villages, can these villagers really cover up for us to this extent? If a villager secretly goes to Gaomi, these troops will There may be danger." Zhang Liang hesitated at the side and said.

"This is indeed a problem." Duan Zhixuan also nodded.

"Hey, although you are geniuses in war, you don't understand people's hearts." Li Chengqian couldn't hold back his words.

Everyone: "..."

Your highness, your sense of presence is suddenly a little high. During this time, your highness, you have either been reading or looking around in the barracks. When we generals meet you, you just chat with us. Why are there so many meetings today? What about?

"I recently read a few books written by Li Ke. You probably don't know that Li Ke also wrote the Art of War?" Li Chengqian looked at them and said.

"This, the last general has never heard of it." Everyone was a little curious, did His Royal Highness King Qin write the Art of War?This is so curious, after all, not everyone can write about the art of war.

"I have read "On Protracted War". Although this book may not be consistent with the situation between us and Goguryeo, it is very consistent with some current situations."

"There is a passage in this book, that is, when the enemy's war organization is cumbersome, with limited actions and limited effectiveness, our most suitable strategy is mobile warfare."

"Carry out highly mobile warfare on a vast battlefield, rapid advance and rapid retreat, rapid concentration and rapid dispersal. Mobile warfare must first be used to effectively eliminate the enemy's spirit and combat power."

"And one of the combat methods of mobile warfare is guerrilla warfare. There are sixteen-character mantras in this book: When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."

"You are all generals in these sixteen characters. You should be able to understand the meaning between the lines. What is the key point of these sixteen characters? That is to go deep into the masses, take the people as the foundation, cultivate the people deeply, and integrate into the The people, let the enemy fall into the vast ocean of the people."

"Take our cavalry in Hanhai Prefecture as an example. If [-] cavalry enter the hinterland of Goguryeo, I am afraid that all the connections between the various towns of Goguryeo will be cut off. In these towns, we do not want to harm the people, but cut off all business. Team transportation, if the enemy's logistics transportation, then we will focus on the superior cavalry force to eliminate."

"After all, they transport supplies, so they need to be escorted by the army to the wild, and the wild is the world of our cavalry."

"Snatch the supplies as daily supplements for the cavalry, and burn these logistical supplies directly if they cannot be carried, cutting off the enemy's supply road."

"And once the enemy gathers on a large scale and wants to concentrate superior forces to destroy us, they will be broken up into parts and scattered in various regions of Goguryeo with hundreds of cavalry as units."

"It is easier for hundreds of cavalry to find supplies, and it is easier for war horses to be replenished from places such as primitive jungles, and even encounter some weakly defended small towns, and even attack these small towns directly."

"If we infiltrate enough cavalry troops, we can even be active outside various cities. We will concentrate our superior forces to eat their small troops. If there are a large number of troops, we will retreat and disperse."

"Could it be possible for the enemy to continue to let tens of thousands of troops advance together? If that's the case, how slow will their marching speed be? And our frontline troops can't always be dead."

"At that time, consumption alone will be able to kill these Goguryeo troops, because we don't harass the people in the villages outside the city, we only harass the city, and people who are capable of the whole city will not come out. How long can they last?"

"But what is it to launch such a mobile warfare? It's the people! For example, the villages dotted on these maps. After our cavalry moves, we don't even need these villages for supplies, but these villages can be used as intelligence. switching center."

"For example, how do you gather after the cavalry is dispersed? Then, every once in a while, send your own news to this village for concentration, and then check in the village for the latest assembly orders, or information such as enemy transportation."

"With each village as the center point, the journey within two days is enough to cover most of Goguryeo's land."

"If we go into the village for supplies, it may bring a crisis to the village, but if we just send one or a few scouts to concentrate or deliver information, there is no danger."

"After this implementation, it doesn't even require the superiority of the frontline troops to attack. In half a year, Goguryeo will collapse." Li Chengqian pointed to the map and said.

Li Chengqian's words made all the generals present dumbfounded.

Similar guerrilla tactics and so on have existed in the art of war from ancient times to the present, but as Li Chengqian said, they have never heard of tactics that almost use guerrilla warfare, cavalry warfare, mobile warfare, and harassment warfare to the extreme.

But when Li Chengqian said this, they felt the great power in it.

The materials stored in the various cities of Goguryeo are different. When these cities are cut off, the time they can hold on to each other is naturally different.

These cavalry alone are enough to completely overwhelm the entire Goguryeo.

As His Royal Highness said, this "On Protracted War" they feel that in some aspects, it is even deeper than Sun Tzu's Art of War, or in other words, it has a wider depth, because it is no longer limited to the simple level of war .

Everyone swallowed their saliva. Such an awesome tactic was actually written by His Royal Highness King Qin?This... is outrageous, the problem is that they really haven't seen it.

"Didn't you go to that military academy and didn't learn it?" Li Chengqian looked at Qibi Heli and the others and asked.

"No...the ministers probably haven't learned it yet." Qibi He Li also said with a dry tone, what else would His Royal Highness King Qin not know?

"Then I guess he hasn't shown it to you after he wrote it, but I've already read it. So do you understand why I said that before? His Royal Highness King Qin is a genius in every aspect. If Without him, there would be no Tang Dynasty today." Li Chengqian said lightly.
