Chapter 457: Taking the initiative is not the enemy in me

In Xie Xuan's eyes, the light flashed, as if he was thinking about success or failure, Liu Gaozhi gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Shuai, Liu Yu's style of play is too radical and risky, 80,000 Beifu, out of 5,000 tigers, this tiger army is the sharp knife and elite of the whole army, with one blow to ten, to attack the 50,000 elite of the Qin army, in such unfavorable battlefield conditions, the chance of victory is slim, once the tiger army suffers heavy losses, not only can not save Hu Bin, but also seriously dampen the spirit of our army, I am afraid that as soon as the news of defeat comes out, All the units of our army will collapse without a fight. ”

Liu Yulang said: "The 80,000 army is all pressed, not only can not save Hu Bin, but also can't lead to the siege of the Qin army, Liang Cheng is a general, he is very familiar with the conventional tactics, and ordinary routines can't deceive him." If my army is strong, he will retreat back to the camp, and only by outnumbering the crowd, dispatching the most elite troops, and putting on the appearance of rescuing Liang Cheng instead of fighting a big battle, will he be fooled. Moreover, this battle seems to be a disadvantageous terrain for our army, but the chances are still very large. ”

Liu Gaozhi sneered: "The enemy army has time to line up, and I don't see any chances. ”

Xie Xuan suddenly waved his hand: "Liu Yu, what is the opportunity you are talking about?" Let's be clear. ”

Liu Yu nodded, and said: "I know very well the combat effectiveness of Liang Cheng's department, although their infantry is well-equipped, it is still a lot worse than our Beifu army soldiers, even if there are more than 30,000 infantry, even if there is Luojian as a hindrance, it will be difficult to stop my Beifu warriors." ”

"But if they send out an iron cavalry assault, it will be troublesome, if our army wants to force the crossing, it will not be able to carry heavy weapons, and horses, antlers, and carts that can prevent the cavalry from attacking will not be used. There was no time to dig horse pits and trenches, which meant that we had no way to limit the assault of the enemy's iron cavalry, except for firing with bows and crossbows. ”

Liu Gaozhi nodded: "You kid finally thought of this." Xuan Shuai, Liu Yu has realized that this plan is not feasible, so we still have to think of another way. ”

Liu Yu shook his head suddenly, and said: "Liu Yingyang (Liu Gaozhi is now the official general Yingyang, who controls more than 5,000 people in the Tiger Army), the villain has not finished speaking. ”

Liu Gaozhi's face changed, and he was about to attack, but Xie Xuan interrupted him, looked at Liu Yu, and said: "Xiaoyu, I understand what you mean, do you want to say that the Qin army can restrain our army's infantry is originally an iron cavalry, but because he wants to block the water as a formation, the camp is too close to Luojian, so there is no distance and space for the cavalry to attack?" ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed: "That's right." Xuan Shuai, if the enemy army is out of the camp and array, then the five or six miles wide river bank will be full of people, and the cavalry will not be able to impact at all, unless they cross the river from elsewhere in advance, and then bypass the assault from the rear of our army, but as long as our speed is fast enough, they will never have this opportunity, the reason why only 5,000 light soldiers are used to attack sharply is to grab a speed, Liang Cheng mistakenly thought that he could intercept our army's assault, and at the same time, in order to prevent Hu Bin, he would also leave a part of the army to prevent Hu Bin's department from breaking through, so the enemy in front of us, It won't be more than thirty thousand. Five thousand against thirty thousand, and they can't use cavalry, our chances are not small! ”

Xie Xuan's face stretched out a smile, he looked at Liu Gaozhi, and said, "How about it, Jiaozhi, Xiaoyu's style of play, do you think it's feasible?" ”

Liu Gaozhi's eyes sparkled, and after muttering for a while, he nodded: "Sounds good, but if Liang Cheng finds that our army's assault speed is very fast, why just let the infantry spread out to the wings and let the cavalry assault from the big camp, what about it?" ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Liang Cheng shouldn't have used this radical style of play at the beginning, our army forcibly crossed Luojian, and he attacked halfway, which is already an advantage, as a coach, it is difficult not to use this advantage." Moreover, in general, the battle is fought in a dignified formation, with the shield lance in front, followed by the archers, and in the case of forcible crossing, the archers are required to suppress the opponent's long-range weapons. Therefore, if Liang Cheng saw that our army was insufficient, he would be afraid that we were suspicious soldiers, and the army was ambushed elsewhere, it would be impossible for him not to leave a backhand, and he would not give up the infantry formation when he came up, and use cavalry to assault alone. ”

"Besides, the big battalion has a fence and an outer trench, and a large-scale frontal assault of cavalry needs to fill in the trenches and open the camp gates, and suddenly it is difficult to do so. Unless Liang Cheng knew all of our plans in advance, he could target them accordingly. After all, the attacking side is us, and the initiative of this plan is also on our side. ”

Liu Gaozhi nodded, and a trace of excitement flashed on his purple face: "Liu Yu is right, the initiative of the attack is ours, so even if Liang Cheng has experience, it is impossible to judge our intentions at once, five thousand people attack, it seems that there are few, so he will not invest all the main force at once, and when our army really breaks through Luojian and launches an attack with all his strength, it will be too late for him to use cavalry to counterattack." Speed and concealment are the most important prerequisites for this battle, Xuan Shuai, make up your mind! The last general is willing to lead the troops as the vanguard! ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Xie Xuan's eyes: "Tiger troops, can you break through the front?" If Liang Cheng can't resist it, the main force of the Qin army will come to help, what can he do? ”

Liu Gaozhi said: "The tiger troops are the elite of the whole army, and the will to fight is high, as long as they are not afraid of sacrifice, they will definitely be able to break through Luojian, after going ashore, everyone knows that there is no way back, and there is a glimmer of life forward, so everyone will be brave, I am confident that within three hours, Liang Cheng will be defeated!" ”

Liu Yu suddenly spoke: "Xuan Shuai, Liu Yingyang, maybe we can be a little more ruthless, night attack!" Although the risk is higher, once successful, it will take less time and the results will be greater. After rushing across the river, maybe it doesn't take two hours to break the beam! ”

Liu Gaozhi excitedly punched the palm of his other hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, great, Liu Yu, you are really ruthless and fierce enough to use soldiers." I was about to talk about the night attack, but you said it first. Anyway, if it doesn't succeed, it will become a one-shot deal, and day combat is better than night fighting, and it also saves us the need to set fire to smoke to cover up our troops. Xuan Shuai, we only need you to lead a large army to block the reinforcements of the Qin army, as long as it drags on for half a day, we can defeat Liang Cheng! ”

Xie Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly stood up from the handsome case, and looked at Liu Yu's eyes: "Xiaoyu, your proposal is very good, I will take it." However, you have to remember that this matter must not be leaked out, prison, you are the same, out of this account, you are ready to attack, tomorrow at noon to make food, Shen Shi set off, the second watch day, arrive at Luojian, the target, Liang Cheng's head! ”
