Chapter 345: It's good to be reckless to attack something
"Did you tell Dong Zhuo?" Liu Tao knew that Dong Zhuo had a problem, but he had to ask.
"According to the will of the lord, I have told General Dong that we will launch a night attack in the past few days. When we returned, they seemed to be on their way. Huang Zhong replied, "It seems that they are planning to join us and attack together." ”
"The official road is so narrow, what can the convergence do? Drag each other back? Liu Tao complained.
In other words, less than a kilometer of the official road, next to Jingshui, soldiers, horses, grain and grass are crowded on it, and when they advance, they have to be drawn into a long line, and there are very few soldiers who can be thrown into the front line to charge.
Linjing County is also easy to defend and difficult to attack in the true sense, and it is very difficult for officers and men to attack from the south. Therefore, it makes sense that they chose to stay in Linjing County.
said that this time he said that he was going to attack Linjing County, so that the other party couldn't help but go south. If you want to join forces, then this camp does not dare to say that it will stretch for hundreds of miles, and there will still be a stretch of several miles. If he was attacked by surprise in turn, when he wanted to retreat, Dong Zhuo would be able to block the way to retreat with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with him in a little panic.
Liu Tao's cavalry has to face the pursuit of the thieves in person, and the advantages of the key cavalry can't be exerted, so how can it be fought?
"No, Dong Zhuo seems to have brought only cavalry......," Huang Zhong added, "and the number is around three thousand." ”
"Oh...... That'......" Liu Tao nodded, if it was just a cavalry, it would be a little understandable. Think about it, too, if it's just an attack, there is no need for the whole army to be dispatched, and it's good to leave some people in the rear to ambush or respond.
I don't know if the most famous Flying Bear Army in Dong Zhuo's history has been formed, and whether it is this elite that is brought out this time...... Slow down, Flying Bear Army, isn't it led by Li Dao?!
That Li Dao, Li Junhou, didn't know if he was in this team, but unfortunately he didn't know him under his command.
After all, because of Li Junhou's recklessness before, Liu Ge was almost killed, if this was deliberate at the beginning, and Li Junhou was actually Dong Zhuo's person, then Dong Zhuo would definitely have to pay the price.
From another point of view, no matter how stupid Dong Zhuo is, he will definitely not dare to let Li Dao appear in front of people in the short term. After figuring this out, Liu Tao no longer struggled with this problem.
For the next two days, Liu Tao had been observing the situation in the enemy camp. From the next day, the entire enemy camp began to strengthen its defenses to the east and west. It is estimated that Dong Zhuo's people did not encounter their own troops, so they suspected that they were attacking from the west.
There are many means, such as finding a mountain road to the west of Linjing County. Otherwise, there are many ways to cross Jingshui in advance, and then go around to the west of Linjing County from the back. Compared to the east, the west side has more space and is more suitable for cavalry charges.
"Shall we fight from the west?" Liu Tao sneered, the thief obviously received the information, so he strengthened the defense on both sides...... To be precise, the defenses on the surface are noticeably relaxed, but on the inside they are ready for a surprise attack.
The trap has been set up and waiting for him to enter the trap. It's just that it is estimated that the thief did not expect that he did not intend to pass from the east and west at all. As for the north and south, relying on the cover of the mountains and the Jing River, the thieves did not set up too many defenses at all, which instead became a blind spot in their defense.
What the thief didn't expect was that during this time, the situation in his camp was clearly investigated by Liu Tao.
"Gather everyone here and get ready to work!" Liu Tao gave some orders, and after a while, various generals came over one after another.
"On the surface, the thieves have relaxed their guards on both sides, but in fact they are ambushing us and waiting for us to be trapped." Liu Tao saw that everyone had come over, so he told the results of his 'observations'. It's not just about relying on the 'insight of the wind dragon', it's actually easy to rely on the height of the mountain range and condescendingly observe the situation in the enemy camp.
So Sun Jian didn't even doubt this at all, especially during this time, Liu Tao kept sending spies to the edge of the cliff to observe the situation of the enemy camp, and he came back to report any changes in the enemy camp as soon as possible.
"Briefly explain......" Liu Tao pointed to the map on the table, which he drew according to the situation over there. The layout of the entire camp, the material reserves and even the location of the thief are all clearly marked.
"Dong Zhuo thought that we were going to attack, and the thieves on the other side also thought that we were just attacking, so we didn't attack, we attacked the camp directly!" Liu Tao pointed to the route, this is not the way out, but the mountain road that has been expanded on the basis of another mountain road by the idle soldiers of the whole army in the past few days.
Thousands of people are idle, and it's not easy to expand a road? It was about ten miles from the camp, leading directly to the side of the enemy camp, rather than to the west of Linjing, as was the case with the original road.
"My plan is to attack the enemy camp from here, and the goal is to send the horse pen to the west of the enemy, and let all the horses there. At the same time, another target is the enemy camp here, which I have noticed should be the leaders of Huangzhong Yiconghu. Liu Tao gave a brief introduction.
Perhaps there are more plains to the west, which is suitable for cavalry combat, so the thieves arranged the cavalry here.
It's a pity that Linjing County was defeated in the end, so the materials were stored in the city, and it was very difficult to kill them and burn them all, unless you found a way to sneak into it, set a fire and leave.
If he had a hundred special forces, then maybe he would have done that.
At this stage, it is suitable to do that, mainly to be good at that, just a Yang shot, and I don't dare to let him take risks. Of course, he also trained fifty marksmen, which in Liu Tao's opinion was trained according to the specifications of special forces, but the level was not enough.
Mainly in terms of night vision, this Yang shooter moves freely at night as if it were day, and even better than daytime vision. It's just that he can't understand why such a 'high-end' talent is unknown in the late Han Dynasty.
Also, why is such a talent willing to be the commander of his own army. Obviously, there have been several opportunities for promotion, but they have all resigned, to say that he is low-key, it is not low-key like this.
Probably thinking that everyone understood, Liu Tao continued: "Then kill from the west, they are in the first half of the camp, and the defense is the worst, which just gives us a chance to break through." After you get out of here, you can return from the mountain road to the west...... If they dare to pursue them, then we can kill them again! ”
On the mountain road, Liu Tao made all the stakes he cut into logs, and if the other party dared to come up, he could throw all the logs in one go, and he could kill hundreds or thousands of thieves.
Relying on the terrain of the mountains and forests, relying on Huang Zhong's crossbowmen, and Yan Liang's cavalry archers, the follow-up can completely suppress the thieves.
"That's my opinion, if you have any comments or additions, you can speak actively!" Liu Tao looked at everyone.
"Maybe you can bring the fire starters and torches by the way, so that you can burn the company camp and kill the thieves to a greater extent! As for whether Dong Zhuo fights during the day, or whether he takes the opportunity to fight over, it depends on what he means......" Guo Jia added.
If you don't fight like this, then Dong Zhuo also plans not to make war achievements.
Sun Jian smashed his mouth at the moment, and said secretly: No wonder you wanted battlefield autonomy from the beginning, were they all so bold?!
