Chapter 500: Trial

Unlike Brodon, Meng Du was the leader of the four major leaders who supported Liu Yue the most, and he also participated in the Battle of Pingyang with Liu Yue, and his subordinates suffered the most heavy losses in this battle.

Therefore, when the three leading men such as Burob tried their best to fight, Meng Du was on Liu Yue's side, thinking that the Wei cavalry was too strong to hold its edge.

But this time, he took the initiative to think that the Hun soldiers could go to war, which couldn't help but make Liu Yue a little surprised, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Mengdu, you also think you can send troops?" ”

Meng Du nodded and said: "Yes, I also think that the commander can send troops this time, such an opportunity, if you don't seize it, it will be a pity to waste it." ”

"Aren't you worried that this is a trick and a deliberate trap set by the Wei people?" Liu Yue asked.

Meng Du said: "Maybe this is the trap of the Wei people, they will definitely do everything they can to force us to come out and fight with them." But the Wei people moved the cavalry too far this time, even if their cavalry got the news and rushed back to rescue, it would take at least half a day, if we can send troops to intercept it on the way, it can be delayed for at least a day, presumably the commander will eat this infantry of the Wei people, it shouldn't take more than a day, right? ”

Liu Yue said: "Then you mean that we can do what we want, the Wei people want to lure us into battle, and we will eat this infantry of the Wei people in one bite as he wishes." ”

Meng Du smiled: "This is exactly what it means, the terrain on the side of Xiliulin is not too high, the Wei people want to block our cavalry with just one infantry, and that Pingbei general Cao Liang also underestimates our cavalry." ”

Broton took the opportunity to say: "That is, the Wei people won a battle, and they didn't know that the sky was high, thinking that we Huns were afraid of them, and this time I took this opportunity to teach them a hard lesson, so that they also knew that we Huns are not easy to mess with!" ”

Originally, Liu Yue was still hesitating, but Brodon and Meng Du took turns to persuade him, and Liu Yue strengthened his determination to fight.

In fact, these days, Liu Yue is also very aggrieved, he is a dignified handsome Xiongnu in the south, and he has been letting people walk around the ravines, and this breath can't be swallowed no matter what.

This time he finally made him wait for an opportunity, whether this opportunity was a mistake made by the Wei people or a trap deliberately set, for the Huns, it was an opportunity worth trying.

After making up his mind, Liu Yue immediately counted all the men and horses of the Huns on the hour and headed towards Xiliulin.

However, before the attack, Liu Yue still adopted Mengdu's suggestion, and asked the other two leaders, Suo Gan and Yu Cuofu, to each lead a cavalry to intercept the Wei cavalry that might return to the south and north of Xiliulin.

Most of the rest of the main forces, under the personal command of Liu Yue, with Mengdu and Brodon as the vanguard, rushed straight to Xiliulin.

The Wei army has been constructing an atmosphere of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside, and on the periphery, Cao Liang asked the Wei soldiers to put on a casual appearance as much as possible, and deliberately let them get closer to the other party's scouts.

However, the Wei army intentionally or unintentionally, but laid a lot of sentry posts, and the scouts of the Huns could clearly see the appearance of the Wei army's peripheral positions, but if they wanted to go further inside, there was no way out.

In other words, they could easily find out the situation on the periphery of the West Willow Forest, but they knew nothing about the situation inside the West Willow Forest.

The Wei army, which was inside, rolled up its sleeves and worked hard, set up pits, built horses, dug deep trenches, and built high trenches.

Infantry against cavalry, itself is a disparity in strength, if the infantry has a barrier, then there is still a chance to stop the cavalry, such as a city, or a dangerous mountain.

But now the Wei army can't choose such a place, because the defense is too strong, it is impossible to lure out the Huns, in order to achieve the purpose of luring the snake out of the hole, the Wei army not only has to transfer the cavalry troops, but also can not choose a place with stronger fortifications.

In fact, Xiliulin is already a good defensive zone, one side of the mountain, the other side of the water, at least to avoid being besieged by the enemy on all sides, the Huns want to attack Xiliulin, they must pass through the north and south directions, which greatly reduces the defensive burden of the Wei army.

Huan Fan's vision is still very poisonous, the battlefield he chose is really good, if the defense ability is strong, the Huns don't play with you, or they can't come out, that's really no problem.

And Xiliulin doesn't seem to have much difficulty for the Huns, so it's possible to lure them out, and if they don't give people some hope, how can they let the fish take the bait?

In order to build fortifications, the Wei army is indeed very hard, and building an extra defensive position is equivalent to one more guarantee, which is extremely important for the upcoming decisive battle.

Fortunately, these jobs basically have no technical content, they are all some rough and clumsy force work, which is nothing at all for recruits who are used to hard work, and even compared to daily drills and rapid marches, this work is still relatively easy.

Cao Liang summoned Yanghu, Du Pre and Wang Jun to discuss how to fight this battle.

For the third battalion of infantry, it is indeed the first battle they experienced, there is no doubt that this will also be a vicious battle, once the Hun cavalry attacked, it was bound to launch a fierce attack, for this new army, holding on is victory, as long as they hold on to the arrival of the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion, they can join forces inside and outside, and launch a counterattack against the Huns.

But how long does it take to hold on, Cao Liang doesn't have an exact time, after all, the Yue Cavalry Camp is still a hundred miles away, even if they gallop to the fastest speed, it will take at least half a day.

What's more, the Huns will definitely intercept it halfway, so the third infantry battalion will have to hold out for at least a day or even longer.

This is a huge test for the 3rd Infantry Battalion, and it is also a task that must be completed.

At this point, there was no way to retreat, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion had to show the courage to fight to the death and hold the position.

At the same time, this will also be a test for Yanghu, Du Pre, and Wang Jun, and it is the only way for them to become real famous generals.
