Chapter 497: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Huan Fan didn't hide it, he twisted the few short whiskers under his chin slightly, chuckled, and said: "The general is eager to find a decisive battle with the Huns, and the Huns don't want to find an opportunity to break our army." What Liu Yue is afraid of now is our cavalry, if the general transfers the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion to other places, leaving only three infantry battalions, he will be able to lure the snake out of the hole. As long as the three infantry battalions can hold out for a while, after the Vietnamese cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion come back to help, they will definitely be able to break the Huns. ”

Cao Liang was indeed anxious to find a decisive battle with the Huns at this moment, and only after a quick battle could he march into the state. And Liu Yue must be looking for revenge day and night after the fiasco in Pingyang, after all, this is his home field, and he has a geographical advantage, so Liu Yue is naturally eager for revenge.

But the reason why he didn't dare to do it was because he was afraid of the strength of the Wei cavalry, and the battle of Pingyang really hurt Liu Yue.

But Liu Yue is a thief, he is hiding in the shadows, watching Wei Jun's every move, waiting for a suitable opportunity, as long as this opportunity comes, Liu Yue will definitely take the initiative without hesitation, and be ashamed.

In fact, Liu Yue waited for the opportunity for the Wei army to divide its troops, and the Wei army has always gathered together and hugged the group tightly since it entered the west. According to the common sense of the art of war, such a formation is indeed invulnerable, and under normal circumstances, it is completely necessary for Cao Liang to adopt such a formation, and it is the most correct way to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack.

But in this way, Liu Yue didn't dare to act rashly, knowing that the Wei cavalry was powerful, he still went to throw himself into the net, wouldn't that be like a fool?

Therefore, Huan Fan boldly proposed a strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, separating the cavalry battalion from the infantry battalion, deliberately exposing flaws, luring Liu Yue to attack, and then the Wei cavalry returned to help, and the inside and outside should be combined to break the Hun soldiers.

Cao Liang has not thought about this idea, but there is a huge risk here, that is, how far the cavalry and infantry are transferred is appropriate, if they leave too close, Liu Yue may not take the bait, but if it is too far, once the infantry is besieged by the Huns, and the cavalry has no time to rush, with the current combat effectiveness of the infantry, it is difficult to resist the attack of the Hun cavalry.

After all, the three infantry battalions are composed of new recruits and four old battalions, and in such a short period of time, the integration of the troops can be regarded as preliminarily completed, but because the foundation is too thin, the combat effectiveness is not complimented at all, and I am afraid that even half of the combat strength of the ordinary Wei army field army cannot reach it.

Let such a new army face the impact of the Hun cavalry, Cao Liang is really not sure.

Therefore, Cao Liang has been deliberately using the method of cavalry and infantry to cover each other in the arrangement of troops.

But in this way, as Huan Fan said, there is no danger to the Wei army, but the Huns are nested in the ravine and do not come out, and if they are dragged down like this, it will be a big mistake.

Cao Liang told Huan Fan about his thoughts and expressed his worries.

Huan Fan smiled and said: "There are nine out of ten in the war, as long as you are fifty percent sure, it is worth a try, this time only by winning in danger can you achieve a quick victory." It is true that the infantry has low combat effectiveness, but if it relies on favorable terrain, it may not be able to defeat the Hun cavalry. ”

Speaking, Huan Fan took out a map out of nowhere like a trick, spread it out on a few cases, and said to Cao Liang: "General, please see, thirty miles to the south, there is a village, called Xiliulin, the terrain is higher, it can be the place of the tun army, and there are two avenues in the north and south, connecting Beiqu and Puzi, the general can send the cavalry battalion to the north to Puzi, and the cavalry battalion to the south to the north, all of which are 100 miles away. ”

In the area of Puzi Beiqu, there are dangerous peaks or passes, but if the Wei army is stationed in these places, it is difficult to lead the Huns out of the hole, so the choice of the location of the infantry garrison is very knowledgeable, neither can choose the kind of dangerous highland, nor can you choose the kind of low-lying flat land, the former cavalry attack is too difficult, the Huns will definitely not take the bait, the latter is not conducive to infantry defense, it is difficult to resist the impact of the Hun cavalry.

On the one hand, the Wei infantry can build an effective defensive position, and on the other hand, it also gives the Huns a certain opportunity to attack, so that the grasp of luring the snake out of the snake will be greater.

There is a large road in the north and south of Xiliulin, which is also more convenient for the rapid assistance of cavalry.

Cao Liang nodded slightly, it seems that Huan Fan's considerations are quite thorough, choosing to garrison in Xiliulin is undoubtedly a chance for the Huns, as for whether Liu Yue will take the bait, it depends on Liu Yue's own decision.

Presumably this opportunity is also extremely tempting for Liu Yue, although it is said that the West Willow Forest is conducive to infantry defense, but the role is limited, if the Hun cavalry is strong enough, it can still easily step on the West Willow Forest.

Cao Liang quickly agreed to Huan Fan's strategy, this is probably the only way to lure the Huns out, although the infantry units of the Northern Army will be under great pressure, but wealth and danger are sought, if you want to win the battle, you must pay something.

What's more, this battle will also be a test for the three infantry battalions, they urgently need to grow up in battle, after all, there is not much time left for them, after entering the state, the enemy they face will only be stronger, if the three infantry battalions always live under the wing of the Yue cavalry battalion, then they will not be able to become a real army after all.

Previously, Cao Liang arranged the Yue Cavalry Battalion to protect the third infantry battalion, which was only an expedient measure, and he finally wanted to let the third infantry battalion experience and grow in the battle, but perhaps because of this encirclement and suppression of the southern Xiongnu, Cao Liang had to advance this training plan.

Next, Cao Liang and Huan Fan discussed the specific details of the battle, and the most important thing was how far away the Yue cavalry battalion and the Tun cavalry should keep from the troops of Xiliulin.

If you get closer, it will definitely not work, and the Huns will ambush the cavalry battalion not far away, and they will be one at a glance; The trap, they will never drill into the trap.

If the Huns wanted to attack boldly, the cavalry battalion had to at least keep a distance of 100 miles.
