Li Cunxu nodded and said, "Yes, the enemy is strong now and we are weak. The Khitan army is 500,000,000, even if it is filled with human lives, it can build a smooth road that goes directly to the Yanjing city wall. If the prince blindly sieges Yanjing, the city will sooner or later become the prince's cage."

Duan Mingyu's fist and palms intersected, and with a "bang", he gritted his teeth and said, "Yanjing must not stop fighting, and he will fail when he hits. Cunxu, do you have any tricks?"

Li Cunxu said: "To solve this problem, there is only one way. Yanjing must attack, but the prince cannot send out his full strength."

Duan Mingyu was stunned, thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "What Cunxu means is that the troops are divided into two groups? This... with the troops in my hands... if I divide the troops again, I'm afraid..."

Li Cunxu said seriously: "I know, in this way, how huge the pressure our army is under. It will be a hard battle, a bitter war, but... it must be so. The prince's main army must not be consumed by attacking the city. As we all know, the consumption ratio of siege is too large. Even if we send out all our strength, we may not be able to attack. Once we can't capture it, what will we use to resist it? If we take 100,000 steps back, even if we conquer Yanjing, how many main forces can we still have? The remaining 500,000 Khitan troops are near. Can we defend it even if we take it down? I'm afraid it will change hands in a flash."

Li Cunxu bowed, "It will be difficult to attack the city, but the prince must hand over this burden. The plan depends on others and the success is in heaven. The prince has no elixir, nor is there a complete plan to take advantage of the situation and not suffer any loss!"

Duan Mingyu lowered his head and pondered for a moment. The muscles on his face twitched slightly, slowly raised his head, looked at Li Cunxu, and said, "Then, the troops are divided into two groups, and I will do what should I do? What should I do?"

Li Cunxu said: "Eliminate the Khitan reinforcements as much as possible, cut off his wings, and finally force him to fight, and you will be successful in one battle!"

"Cut off the wings?"

Duan Mingyu's eyes flashed, and he understood something vaguely, and asked: "Cut off the wings... Could it be the Yandi Han general?"

"Yes, although there are 500,000 reinforcements from Khitan, there are more than 100,000 of them. The prince can start with the Han army. Once the Han army cannot afford the casualties, then their hearts will not be entirely on the Khitan side. However, if they want to make enough casualties, the prince will have to spend more time."

"This is not a problem. I will let them know about the methods of a certain family." Duan Mingyu said decisively after pondering for a moment.

Seeing that Duan Mingyu was already understanding, Li Cunxu couldn't help but smile on his face: "Yes, although the Khitan army is powerful, they will be greatly reduced in this way. But the prince must not be careless at that time. We are mostly southern soldiers, who are not withstand the severe cold in the north. When sending troops, they don't know if they have too much confidence. They think that Yanjing can be taken down in a daze or in a short time, or they lack the experience of fighting in the north in winter, and they don't bring too many winter clothes, and the tent is even thinner that the Southern Army is used to.

The marching tent, once the snow and the cold wind blows, the combat power will be greatly reduced. The 300,000 army is terrifying when fighting, but how much supply does this giant need to feed the horse? Our front line is long, while the northern geography, the Khitan troops are far more familiar than us. As long as we send troops to cut off our supply and transportation line, we have no food and grass, and we will not have cold clothes and robes, and we will collapse without fighting, so the prince will have to take the initiative to attack."

Duan Mingyu nodded repeatedly and said, "After several months of rectification, we have already mastered the cities we have won. If the Khitans do not want to fight with me, then I can adopt another tactic: the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stations and disturbs me, the enemy is tired, and we fight, the enemy retreats and we chase, and use guerrilla tactics to drag down the enemy, advance and retreat with great steps, lure the enemy deep, concentrate troops, defeat each one, and eliminate the enemy in mobile warfare! In this way, once Yelu Deguang suffers, he will definitely take the initiative to fight with me, and the third step can officially decide the male and female, and the final decisive battle will only win, not lose."

This tactic was not invented by the great man, but it was systematically sorted out in Duan Mingyu's hands, carrying forward the essence of ancient and modern guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. This tactic is just right for Duan Mingyu's current situation.

The Li family has been in Hedong for generations and has been a long-term professor with the Khitans. Whenever Li Cunxu conquers Mobei, his troops have never appeared in such a difficult situation. Therefore, in his usual combat thinking, it is difficult to escape the shackles of combat experience formed over the years. However, his opponents, those Mobei tribes are masters of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Although the Hedong Army has won many times, it is difficult to eliminate these enemies. It is easier to understand these strategies and tactics at this moment.

So Li Cunxu only closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then he had already understood the essence of this mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. To be honest, although Duan Mingyu told him, his understanding and understanding were still far above Duan Mingyu. He couldn't help but laugh: "The prince is resourceful and is actually a minister of the country. With this good strategy, the Khitan army is not worth fearing."

The plan was decided, and Xu Jing's command of 50,000 troops and Fang Wenzhong, the Three Feudals and 30,000 troops were stationed at the city of Yanjing, but he would not attack the city. He was just guarding against the troops in Yanjing City to attack the army. It seemed that he was preparing to break a nest and not leave, which made Yelu Feng, who was guarding the city, wondered. However, since Xu Jing did not come to attack, Yelu Feng would not rashly go out of the city to attack. If there was a fraud, or suffered a great loss and lost the city of Yanjing, his crime would be greatly affected, so these 80,000 troops actually restrained the 100,000 defenders in the city.

Duan Mingyu personally led an army of more than 200,000 to attack Qi County on the periphery. More than 200,000 people were stationed in a small county town and confronted the 500,000 reinforcements from the Khitan opposite. Yelu Deguang was overjoyed when he learned that Duan Mingyu personally led the army to rescue Qi County. He laughed at the sky and said, "Duan Mingyu was smart and was so impatient that he actually went out to rescue Qi County. Don't he know that Youzhou Yanjing City is his must-have? He couldn't defeat Youzhou, and he was also happy even if he took root in the county town for a year. Hahaha..."
