Chapter 171
"I wonder if you two have read the ancient military books and war strategies of our Han people?"
When Li Neng suddenly asked this question, both of them were blinded. Although the tribes in the north had indeed studied some generals and battles of the Tang Dynasty, they were just a little bit of fur. They really didn't know the true essence at all.
Seeing that both of them shook their heads in confusion, Li Qing could not keep it in hiding anymore. He continued to say: "Now the enemy is coming in a fierce manner. If we fight hard, both sides will be the best result for us. Therefore, this time I will temporarily avoid their sharp edge, but I cannot let them go back with all their strength!"
"What the prince means...we will attack them along the way?"
"That's not. The north of Hebei Road is mostly dominated by plains. Moreover, both of us are cavalry, and sneak attacks are definitely not a desirable strategy. Once it fails, we will not be able to escape. What I mean is that we will give their Uighur army a solid wall and clear the fields!"
"Strengthen the walls and clear the fields?"
The two leaders Mou En and Konoha were obviously quite unfamiliar with these four words. After taking a look at each other, they both shook their heads at Li Qing.
However, they believed it a little in their hearts. After all, the Uighurs and they did not study the military tactics of the Tang Dynasty. If they use some methods that the enemy does not know, they will have a much larger chance of winning.
"To put it bluntly, it means that the enemy will attack in vain. We cannot take down our city or grab any of our supplies! The Uighur cavalry is indeed fast and its combat power is indeed strong, but as far as I know, your tribes in the north should not have the habit of carrying a lot of food and supplies when fighting, right?"
When Li Neng asked this, Mou En and the others nodded. Li Neng said nothing wrong. Their tribes, whether big or small, like to fight quickly in wars, and they are all on horseback, and they basically carry dry food and jerky for a few days on the horse's back, which is enough for this battle.
However, after nodding, Mou En and the others were a little disappointed again and whispered: "The prince should know that our tribes are not as strong as the Tang Dynasty. This time the target of the Uighur cavalry is obviously our two tribes, not the prince. So what the prince said is probably to wait until he destroys our two tribes before it can be achieved."
After Mu En said this, his disappointment was beyond words.
However, Li Qing's expression was very relaxed. He stood up and patted Mou En's shoulder. Then he asked solemnly: "Do you two want to believe in me? Can you give your tribe's lives to me?"
The two of them looked at each other again, thinking that it was already this time, and if they didn't leave it to you, they would be killed by the Uighur cavalry, so they nodded quickly.
"Okay! Then I will explain to you. This is a strong wall and clear field. I am not going to guard your Tongluo and Jugu tribe, but to Fanyang!"
"Fan Yang?"
"Yes, there should be four or five days before the enemy arrives here. In these four or five days, I want you to move all your tribesmen to the south of Fanyang City. And not only you, but all the tribes before Fanyang and the Uighurs, including our own villages on Hebei Road, will also move to the south of Fanyang!"
"What? This..."
Li Yi said this just a matter of one sentence, but this matter was too big in Mou En and Konoha's heart.
Because the territory of the two tribes has not been a year or two, but has long been regarded as their homes by them and their tribe members. How easy is it to let them give up this place in such a short time?
Li Yi also understood that he had said such a big thing without any preparation, and it would definitely take some time to digest it, so he was not in a hurry after he finished speaking, and just waited for the two of them to answer.
On the one hand, there are Uighur cavalry who are strong enough to destroy their entire clan, and on the other hand, they give up their homes and escape. Many of these things are quite difficult to grasp.
However, everyone understands the principle of taking the minority of the two evils. Although Li Qing waited for a long time, in the end, Mou En and the others made the choice in Li Qing's heart.
"The prince can come to me and Luo tribe to accompany me and come up with a solution. It is already a perfect way to do the two tribes of me, Luo and Pugu. If the prince does not care about our two tribes, I am afraid that you will have a way to deal with the Uighur cavalry. What else can we not trust the prince?"
"Yes, from today on, even if the lives of the soldiers and people of our two tribes are handed over to the prince, no matter where the prince lets our entire tribe move, we can do it!"
After the two of them made their statements, Li Neng breathed a sigh of relief. Although Mou En and the others did put their own tribe attitude low, Li Neng knew in his heart that he would be in a difficult situation without the cavalry of the Uighurs.
"Okay! Since that's the case, time is tight. I have asked Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun to go to the place where they are preparing to withdraw. Now you will return to their respective tribes and command the tribe to start retreating to Fan Yang. Remember, you can do nothing else, just food and weapons, and you can't leave any of them!"
After hearing what Li Neng said, Mu En and Konoha nodded. They already understood a little at this time. The current season is not like the spring and summer season when Li Neng and the others just came, but has slowly entered the most difficult winter in the north.
Originally, this season, all tribes here have tacit understanding. No one will rashly move troops. They all use winter time to save food so that their tribe can survive at the lowest cost.
It can be said that Mou Yu Khan launched a large-scale military service at this time, which was already a taboo.
In this case, the most feared thing about sending troops is that there is no food. Li Yan gave them a solid wall and clearing the country at this time, not only because of the strategy itself, but also because the current time is indeed suitable for using this strategy.
Although many people of the two tribes may die because they can't stand the trouble during the migration process, they can save their vitality to the greatest extent.
