Chapter 1186: Solving the Danger of the North City
The Caohai cavalry does not have such kindness, as long as they can kill people, whether they are civilians or generals, anyway, the reward for meritorious deeds is also calculated according to the head.
The Dingbei army suffered heavy casualties, and Emperor Wanlong was ruthless, turning a blind eye to these people who asked for help, and treating them as enemy soldiers, so as to stop the decline, but at this moment, the Dingbei army in Jianbei City has lost nearly half, and the tragedy of the war outside Jianbei City can be seen.
In this battle, the people of Dagan who died outside the city of Jianbei were more than the number of soldiers killed in the battle of the two sides combined, floating corpses were all over the field, and flocks of vulture crows hovered on the battlefield for several days, and they ate all of them with fat brains, which was disgusting. The terrible screams and cries outside Jianbei City were endless all day long, and after listening to them too much, I couldn't tell whether it was the cry of the soul under the knife or the cry of these beasts. It's just that the difference is that one is heartbroken and sad, while the other is unbearable joy and joy.
Li Luo and the soldiers under his tent all looked sideways, and they were even more indignant. The battlefield fighting methods are all-encompassing, and there seems to be nothing to make a fuss about, but there is no room for new hatred and old hatred.
The previous defeat put Jianbei City in jeopardy, and if it wasn't for Li Luo leading the army north, I don't know how long the Dingbei army could hold out. Fortunately, the Caohai Alliance Army is good at cavalry charging and killing, and the siege is slightly worse, otherwise the situation in Jianbei City will be even more dangerous. However, without waiting for Li Luozhu to breathe a sigh of relief, there was a return of the exploration horse, and the Caohai coalition army began to attack the city, this time, there were rushing cars, ladders, crossing equipment and catapults in the Caohai army, in addition to this, it is said that there are several kinds of equipment that have not been seen in the Dagan army, I don't know the use, but it must be a miraculous siege weapon.
All the generals under the tent gasped in unison, if the enemy army in Caohai swept away the shortcomings of the previous siege of the city, the battle between the two armies would be more difficult in the future. Li Luo couldn't help frowning secretly, Xiang Liu'er's every move was beyond the expectations of the generals of Dagan, and it was obvious that he could not be measured with common sense.
"General, the Caohai tribes must already know our movements, and now they are stepping up the siege of the city, probably wanting to capture Jianbei City before they are attacked by the enemy."
"Well, the weather in Beifu is getting colder and colder, if the Caohai tribes want to gain a foothold in Dagan, they must capture Jianbei City before the first snow, otherwise it will be too late when the heavy snow covers the mountain."
"General, the last general thinks that the most urgent thing at the moment is to remove the threat of the enemy army in the south of Jianbei City, so that it can also stabilize the morale of the soldiers in the city, as long as they have no worries, it is not impossible to hold Jianbei City." Yuan Jun said in a deep voice.
Li Luo nodded and said: "It is too dangerous to cross the sea of grass and Luoyun three enemy soldiers to attack the Mongol and Turkic tribes north of Jianbei City, and for today's plan, we must deal with the enemy soldiers in Bantian Mansion." ”
"Caohai Iron Cavalry is good at cavalry and kills, and the strength is several times that of me, this battle is not easy to fight."
"It's not easy to fight, but it's not impossible. I have a discussion with the generals. ”
"General, please give me." The generals said in unison.
"When I was in Dizhou, all the cavalry drills were based on the Mongolian iron cavalry as an imaginary enemy, if one day the Mongolian cavalry attacked, what method should Dagan use to break the Mongolian cavalry formation."
Li Luo frowned, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Caohai Iron Rider comes and goes like the wind, and the Pingchuan region is even more powerful, and there is no need to be trapped in a corner, if you want to win, you must first find someone to catch up." This time, the Caohai cavalry besieged Jianbei City, and the Caohai Iron Cavalry of Bantian Mansion was no longer traceless, and there was no trace of the advantage. And we can just learn the method of fighting the grass sea cavalry, attack the unprepared, and attack the weak with the strong. ”
The generals nodded slightly, this discussion does have some truth, but it doesn't seem to be enough to make up for the gap in the strength of General Dagan's soldiers.
"In the past, it was recorded in the military books that against the cavalry, especially the army such as the Mongol light cavalry, there was almost no way to win the battle, nothing more than the archers shooting, the infantry to repel the enemy with shield formations and spear formations, plus the tun cavalry and the tiger Ben to disperse the light cavalry formation, supplemented by some other changes adapted to local conditions. But either way, you need to take advantage of the terrain, you must be able to stop the enemy cavalry, or you can lure the enemy into an ambush, otherwise even if the cavalry soldiers are not sure of victory, if they want to go, no one can stop them. ”
"What does the general mean that we take the initiative to attack and no longer attack with defense?" Yuan Jun pondered.
"That's exactly what I mean. Now that the Caohai tribes are aiming at Jianbei City, if we don't attack, most of them won't send troops to invite battle. If we lure the enemy, I am afraid that Jianbei City will not be able to hold out on to the day when the enemy army in Caohai falls into the trap. ”
"But, General, if we attack head-on, I'm afraid our forces will be a little insufficient." Although it is bold to call for the winter cicada, the grass sea cavalry on the opposite side has already heard of it. When the winter cicada was still in Muzhou, it was not less than a fight with the Caohai Iron Horse, and the shadows of those chasing the wind and lightning were vivid, whistling and whistling, whistling away, if it was an ordinary army, it could only look at it and sigh, and it was helpless.
"It's true that the troops are insufficient, but it depends on how this battle is fought."
"Huh? How does the general want to fight? ”
"I used to think about it, if I relied on the art of war, would I be able to defeat the Caohai cavalry, especially the Mongolian iron cavalry? It's hard, I'm afraid. Not confined to the ancient law, learn from it, but do not have to follow it, this battle must play our own changes, it is possible to compete with the heroes of the sea of grass. ”
The idea that the generals whispered, did not follow the ancient law, and fought the most difficult cavalry with their own strength was almost all the good generals and fierce generals of all dynasties, but very few of them succeeded. Although there were mutual victories and defeats, most of the battles that were ultimately won were borrowed from the art of war of their predecessors, or the city walls, or the terrain of mountains and rivers, luring the enemy to ambush, and so on, but few people could find their own way and win the battle. So when Li Luo said that he wanted to fight in his own way, all the generals under his tent were a little worried.
Yuan Jun thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice: "To solve the danger of being trapped in Jianbei City, time cannot be delayed for too long, this is the disadvantage of restraining the Dagan soldiers. However, the enemy army of Caohai wants to besiege Jianbei City, and the advantage of the cavalry is not fifty percent, and there are traces to follow, which is their disadvantage. If we can avoid our disadvantage and attack the enemy's disadvantage, this battle will definitely have a chance. ”
Li Luo nodded and smiled: "What General Yuan said coincides with me, what plans do you have for the generals to promote the enemy's shortcomings and avoid the enemy's strengths?" ”
The generals discussed one after another, word by word. This is Li Luo's usual method, before the big battle, he has to carefully discuss the situation that will be encountered in this battle with the generals in the battalion, although he does not dare to say that the enemy is like a god, but after all, he will not be at a loss in the event of chaos.
