Chapter 920: Battle Chang'an (5)
Wang Fang turned his head to look at Li Meng.
Although the two of them are stationed together, Li Meng has some clan relationship with Li Dao after all, so in this kind of matter, Li Meng's decision is the final and most important.
Li Meng was about to open his mouth several times, but he forcibly endured it. Before coming to Sucheng, Li Dao repeatedly explained that he should not be greedy for merit, and it would be good if he could defend it, so Li Meng had to put aside his personal factors and obey Li Dao's arrangement.
More than 1,000 cavalry, because of the war horses, so as soon as they stopped and unfolded, they covered a large area, in the line of sight of Li Meng and Wang Fang, even from such a distance, it could be seen that the horses were all good horses, the soldiers were all wearing good armor, and the blades were even sharper, flashing cold light from time to time under the sun. Looking at the movements of these soldiers on the horses, they are smooth and skillful, and they are all agile men, and the fierce temperament revealed by the battle formation is even more clear.
Li Meng tried his best to free himself from the shackles of a low-level general, and figured out the deep meaning of Li Dao's order......
At present, these cavalry of the state are so imposing, in addition to their own excellent combat power, will they have any other reliance?
If there were only more than 1,000 cavalry in front of him, Li Meng would not be afraid, anyway, the cavalry was not good at attacking the city, and he also had nearly 1,000 cavalry, if he fought hard in the field, he might not be weak.
But is it worth it, is it needed?
Now it is easy to send cavalry to rush out of the city, and if you win, of course, you can improve the morale of your soldiers, but in case......
And is it deliberately shown that these state cavalry are so lazy now? In the smoke and dust behind the cavalry, how far and how many follow-up soldiers of these cavalry are there?
If the cavalry under the command of Xiliang is damaged, then how much loyalty can you have purely by relying on these infantry soldiers who were temporarily transferred from the Sanfu region? How long can you hold out under the opponent's siege?
The thoughts that came in a flood kept spinning and colliding in Li Meng's head, which made Li Meng feel that his head was slightly painful, and it was a little difficult to choose.
Wang Fang waited for a long time, and when he saw that Li Meng had not spoken, he was a little impatient, so he asked loudly, "How is it?" Do you want to go out of the city and fight? ”
"No fight!" Li Meng subconsciously opened his mouth and said these two words.
As soon as these two words were spoken, Li Meng was suddenly a little flustered, as if he had inadvertently exposed something, and without looking at Wang Fang's gaze, he increased his volume and waved his hands, as if this would add some weight to his words, "Can't fight!" The general of the chariot cavalry wants us to defend this city, not let us fight without permission! What's more, there must be a large number of foot soldiers behind these cavalry, even if we go out of the city to fight, we may not be able to get much benefit! ”
"......" Wang Fang was silent, turned his face away, and no longer looked at Li Meng.
Although Wang Fang didn't speak, Li Meng could feel something, in order to make his orders more authoritative, Li Meng ordered loudly: "Pass my orders, all departments strictly abide by them, and you can't move without orders!" ”
As soon as this order was given, the Xiliang cavalry gathered behind the city gate and were waiting for the order couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then began to disband under the leadership of the leaders of each team, and there were a few faint sighs among the soldiers......
Fei Qian has been paying attention to Sucheng, but unfortunately after waiting for a long time, he didn't see any kind of action in Sucheng, so he couldn't help but shake his head.
It's a pity.
Fei Qian said: "Order, let the latter catch up...... "Since the Xiliang cavalry does not fight, then the arrangement behind it will have no effect.
It is not that Fei Qian does not understand the more exaggerated dispatch of cavalry to gallop under the city, pouting his butt and dancing elephant dances, etc., but that unless he is sure that the general on the opposite side is a commander who is extremely easily provoked, it will arouse the vigilance of the other party and achieve the opposite effect.
So this kind of distance, the current measures are more normal, at least it seems to be a little slack, some flaws, but not the kind of very obvious, as if it is inadvertently revealed, which will attract some people to jump in......
However, this time, it is clear that the other party does not want to step in, so it can be determined that at least the general of this unified army is relatively rational and cautious.
So let's move on to the next step......
In this era, the Xiliang cavalry was more focused on heavy cavalry, while the Bingzhou cavalry was a ranger between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, and for Hu cavalry, because the technology of smelting steel was not available on the grassland, it was basically biased towards light cavalry, so the troops of the Feiqian cavalry actually had some advantages over the Xiliang cavalry.
Now it is necessary to deceive the opponent with such an advantage.
Of course, when the plan is placed in front of the other party openly, it will make the other party even more overwhelmed.
The infantry in the rear quickly caught up, and then, under the cruising escort of the cavalry, they began to set up camp on a high ground near Luoshui in the north under the nose of Sucheng, and put on a posture of long-term battle.
Li Meng, who was above the head of Sucheng City, finally waited for the figure of Fei Qian's foot soldier to appear, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the number of people did not exceed his imagination, and naturally it was within the range of his estimate.
Once the nervous mood was relaxed, the exhaustion all over his body was like an explosion, which instantly made Li Meng feel exhausted, so Li Meng explained to Wang Fang, and then returned to the city with his personal guards, ready to rest.
Anyway, the troops on the opposite side of Fei Qian want to build a camp, even if they want to attack the city for a while, they will not carry it out until the camp is completed, otherwise once the city cannot be captured within a day, the troops will stay in the field to dig a nest and sleep?
Therefore, Li Meng is also ready to take a good rest, in order to prepare for the cruel siege battle that may come next.
However, Li Meng had just finished eating the food, and when he was lying on the couch in a daze, suddenly a herald rushed in and woke up Li Meng, who was about to enter a sweet dream......
"What?" Li Meng shook his head, completely drove away the drowsiness, turned over and stood up, and asked the herald again, "You said that the soldiers of the state built a dam on the Luoshui River?" ”
The construction of the dam is certainly not a matter of improving the water conservancy construction in Sucheng, but a very obvious signal, that is, to attack with water.
Dig Luoshui to attack Sucheng?!
How is this possible?!
