Chapter 942: Take the opportunity to withdraw

When they adapted, the opponent's formation changed again, and it still became the original nine-square grid.

The stunned and angular formation shrank into a large phalanx, and then several arrows shot out into the sky, and the sound was sharp and piercing.

At this time, the other party already knew that it was calling for support, and the Li family's soldiers and horses had a numerical advantage, but once the other party's reinforcements arrived, it was likely that this place would become a place to fight to the death.

After hearing the arrows, the generals on Wagang City immediately went to ask Li Mi for advice, and the major matter related to the life and death of the Wei State was that once it was sloppy, it would not be possible.

Li Mi had already learned the basis of the arrow, and after understanding the meaning of Shan Xiongxin, he immediately lit the wolf smoke and transferred 200,000 troops over again.

Li Shimin is not the only one who uses the strong to suppress the weak.

In order to maintain combat effectiveness, Li Mi also allowed 10,000 Wagang elites to go out of the city to assist, and 200,000 soldiers and horses would not have played the greatest role if they did not have many captains with them.

These soldiers and horses are all temporarily recalled and trained for a short time, and whether they can win or not still has to fight.

The reason why Shan Xiongxin dared to send so many soldiers and horses to the battle was very simple, the formation had an effect on the enemy, and as long as there were more people, they would win.

Li Shimin was a little nervous after learning about the battle situation, although he was said to be both civil and military, but he really wanted him to lead troops to fight, after all, he was not as good as some generals, and he had a specialization in the art industry, and he still had to rely on experience to really do it well.

Shan Xiongxin is very experienced in commanding troops, and during the short period of battle with his opponent, he can see that although the enemy is large in number and strong in combat, the biggest problem is that their commanders are completely following orders.

The tasks on the battlefield are of course important, but the specifics still depend on how to fight and what kind of tactics are used, rather than blindly filling in with people.

Shan Xiongxin still learned a lot from the people in the Youzhou Teaching Group, and after his own summary, he formed his own style.

He still didn't doubt whether what those people were teaching was true, but he realized something.

The art of war is a thing that can be used in all ways, and it still depends on the talent of the generals, and flexibility is the key.

Suddenly, there were several sounds of arrows in the distance, and Shan Xiongxin heard the secret signal from the arrows and knew that reinforcements were coming.

"Tell me to go down and send reinforcements to prepare for the offensive formation."

After a stick of incense, Shan Xiongxin's reinforcements arrived in time, and there were 10,000 Wagang elites with them.

Li Mi can send all the soldiers and horses here, the trust of the singular number makes Shan Xiongxin moved, in fact, Li Mi's idea is much simpler, if you choose to be reluctant and eventually inevitably escape the fate of being slaughtered, it is better to make a desperate bet and hope is greater.

His confidence lies in the fact that if he wants to break through Wagang City, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can still resist, and the elites in the city can also protect him.

Shan Xianxin immediately began a counterattack with the soldiers and horses who came to support, and the offensive formation was just right, and it didn't take long for the enemy to retreat.

Or it was not because the Wagang soldiers and horses were brave, but because Li Shimin didn't want to consume his soldiers and horses at this time.

So he told the soldiers to retreat.

The situation is good, Shan Xiongxin doesn't want to miss the enemy's retreat, so they chase after them, until they encounter the opponent's reinforcements, and the two sides are equal in number and start fighting again.

Shan Xiongxin is a thousand, and he is not afraid that after comparing the fights, he knows that the combat effectiveness of the Li family's soldiers and horses is slightly higher, and the reason why he was able to suppress the battle just now was because of the numerical advantage.

Now the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides is beginning to be reflected, and if it is not for the formation to maintain, I am afraid that the casualties will be greater.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Shan Xiongxin knew what he had to do if he couldn't save it, and the soldiers on both sides of the arrow could hear it clearly.

At this time, the Wagang soldiers were confused for a while, because the rhythm of the arrows was very strange, and it was not a good idea to call for support. Good

For Li Shimin's soldiers and horses, they didn't know the code words, anyway, they thought it was to call for reinforcements again.

The generals in Wagang City were also puzzled, they had never heard this kind of arrow codeword, let alone deciphered it, but the sound of the arrow must mean that something had happened.

The general who defended the city still sent the news to the palace.

They may be surrounded by a code unique to General Shan and King Wei.

Li Mi was also big for a while when he saw it, and he was still guessing what it meant, and Li Shimin, who was in this matter, took the lead in stopping the attack.

What is the strength of Wagang, Li Shimin is now beginning to wonder if there is still news that he does not know.

For the sake of prudence, he decided to break away from the confrontation first, anyway, the victory or defeat was not in a hurry, and the breakthrough of Wagang City was his goal.

Shan Xiongxin will explain to people, it is clearly a plan to delay the army, the other party stops, they retreat immediately, and the 250,000 soldiers and horses lose a lot of people.

waited until Li Shimin learned that Shan Xiongxin led people to withdraw.

"It's a trick, it's a good way to get out, this Shan Xiongxin is not only good at using soldiers but also knows how to strategize."

There is a feeling that he will meet a good talent, but it is a pity that it is a hostile camp.

"Your Highness, it's still too late to send troops over to pursue at this time." The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said.

He also didn't want to miss this opportunity, often the chasing side of the pursuit battle would take advantage of it, how could he miss it.

"There's no need to pursue, even if we catch up, the best case scenario is a stalemate, and we can't let these people contain our forces." Li Shimin said.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought that their purpose was not these people but Wagang City, and he still had no bottom on attacking Wagang City.

The advantages of siege warfare are all on the defending side, and with the grain and grass in Wagang City, it is not a problem to drag on for a year and a half.

But they can't afford it.

The daily consumption of 500,000 soldiers and horses is very large, and if they don't hurry up to solve the goal, they will be dragged to death.

Shan Xiongxin returned to the city with the guards and elites, and explained the battle situation to Li Mi.

"General Shan is really the pillar of the Wei State, and the defeat and retreat of the enemy soldiers in this battle demonstrates the combat effectiveness of the Wei State's soldiers and horses, and the next battle will be decided by the general."

"Come on, General Shan will reward 100 acres of fertile land for his meritorious service to defeat the enemy, and he will be rewarded again when this war is over."

What Li Mi can take out now is uncultivated land, and 100 acres of land is just a matter of one sentence.

Let him be really reluctant to have gold and silver, but he can't take out the iron ore and reward it, otherwise he, the emperor, will be laughed at by the world.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

If you get a reward, you still have to be grateful, and you still have to show it formally.

"What is the general's plan for the next battle?" Li Mi said that he was letting Shan Xiongxin be responsible, but he was actually very worried.

"Judging from the information obtained from this battle, Li Shimin's soldiers and horses will be much more than this time, and if you want to fight to meet the enemy, only a night attack strategy is feasible, but it will take a lot of risks."

Shan Xiongxin said directly, Li Mi thought for a while and said, "But you want to burn the enemy's grain and grass? ”

"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly the case, but Li Shimin is cautious, I'm afraid that only thirty percent of the success with this side may be successful."
