Chapter 113: Suspicious Array
Under the city of Peixian.
At this time, with black flags and black armor, Li Yang took five hundred Yulin cavalry to set up a formation and sharpen his sword.
Although there were only five hundred people, it was extremely arrogant, Han Xin rode a horse, held an iron sword in his hand, and pointed to the top of the city wall of Pei County and was shouting: "Wu Na Liu Ji dog thief, hurry up and open the city gate, come out and die!" ”
"Liu Ji dog thief, hurry up and come out and die!"
The five hundred Yulin army also shouted in unison, with a huge momentum, as if they had tens of thousands of troops, and they were extraordinarily arrogant.
"Liu Ji is a dog thief, if you have a kind, open the city gate and come out to fight!"
Han Shin continued to fight......
On the city wall, Liu Ji also came to the city wall with a group of people.
Seeing the five hundred Yulin troops under the city, his brows furrowed slightly.
How...... Just 500 people?
Everyone shushed each other.
Five hundred people dare to be so arrogant, this is a proper failure to take the more than 10,000 people in their city in their eyes!
Although these people in the city were peasant rebels, they ...... There are more than 10,000 people, and everyone is also dignified, okay?
At that moment, Fan Xu couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately said: "How can this be true!" Big brother, let me take a thousand people, go out of the city to kill him and turn over on his back alone, and take off Li Yang's head and come back! ”
Xiahou Ying said: "I will also go with you!" ”
"Slow!"
However, at this moment, Xiao He stretched out his hand to stop everyone and said, "Don't go out of the city to meet the enemy!" ”
"This ...... Why? ”
Fan Hao and the others were stunned and puzzled.
Xiahou Ying said: "It's just five hundred people, even if he is the Yulin Army, we will definitely let him come and go, why should Lord Xiao worry." ”
Liu Ji also looked curious.
The other party's 500 people dare to come to war, if they don't dare to go out of the city to face the battle, and retreat into the city, then don't you want to lose face?
Xiao He said: "Five hundred people, that's just what people specially let you see, and there are 30,000 iron horses, have you seen it?" ”
"Thirty thousand iron horsemen?"
Everyone was stunned, and Fan Xu was confused: "Where are there 30,000 iron horsemen in the city?" ”
Liu Ji also said: "Yes, although Li Yang claimed to have personally led 30,000 iron cavalry to come, but at the moment there are only 500 Yulin troops in front of the city, you might as well go out of the city first and take the head of the boss, maybe the remaining 30,000 iron cavalry will collapse without a fight." ”
Xiao He said disapprovingly: "Do you really think that he only brought five hundred people and dared to come to the city to call for war?" If I'm not mistaken, they're here to lure me out of town. ”
"Oh?"
Everyone was stunned and suspicious.
Five hundred people ran to the city of other people's houses to call for war, which is really a bit abnormal. You know, this is tantamount to looking for death.
Xiao He saw that everyone listened, and continued: "The cavalry is only conducive to fighting and charging into battle, not conducive to attacking the city, and the other party deliberately brought five hundred people to the city to call for battle, isn't the meaning of this just to let us wait out of the city to face the battle?" If we do leave the city, will we not fall into the arms of the enemy? ”
Zhou Bo nodded, and agreed: "Five hundred people are called for war, this ...... I also think there must be fraud in it, and you can't be careless. ”
Actually, Fan Xu also felt that Xiao He's analysis was reasonable, but it was just ......
Fan Xu was puzzled: "But...... There are really only 500 people at the moment, so let's kill them and fight quickly, why not? ”
Xiao He chuckled lightly and stretched out his hand to point ahead: "General Fan, you can see that in the woods in the distance, you can see startled birds flying, as if dust is flying?" ”
When they heard this, they quickly looked into the grove outside the city, and when they saw it, they were all astonished.
I saw that in the small forest eight hundred meters ahead, sure enough, the birds were startled, the trees shook, and the dust was all over the sky, as if a large army was lying in ambush in the woods.
All of a sudden, everyone was solemn.
Even if a stupid person is, he knows at this time that the reason why Li Yang dared to bring five hundred Yulin to call the battle was indeed to lure everyone out of the city.
As long as you bring all your men and horses out of the city to face the battle, the 30,000 iron horsemen in the woods will definitely rush out, at this time your own men and horses have fallen into the melee, and when they want to escape back to the city, the other side is cavalry, and they will definitely be able to rush into the city in one fell swoop, so ...... How can the 10,000 defenders in the city beat the 30,000 cavalry of the other side?
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts tightened, their hearts were so dangerous, they almost fell into the scheme!
Fan Xu cursed: "His uncle, Li Yang is so treacherous!" ”
Xiao He said: "This person is not a person in the army, but a civil servant, relying on his ingenuity, now he is leading the troops to fight, it will be impossible to do reckless things, so this person brought five hundred people to call the battle, it is impossible to be as simple as it seems, we should be extremely careful to deal with it." ”
The crowd nodded.
Everyone originally regarded Xiao He as a general figure of military advisors and admired his intelligence, but now listening to him, coupled with the movement in the grove, it is even more admirable at this time.
Liu Ji also nodded, and immediately said: "Everyone will guard the city gate for me, and no one is allowed to go out of the city to meet the enemy." ”
"Whoa!" The people took the command.
And at the same time, in the grove outside the city.
"Don't stop, build it all for me!"
Wang Youxian held a horse whip in his hand and commanded the three thousand local soldiers under him.
The 3,000 local soldiers were already tired, but when they heard this, they continued to run desperately in the grove, dragging a branch in their hands and dragging it on the ground.
Three thousand people are running in the woods, can the birds of the forest not be frightened and fly up?
Moreover, the branches that dragged on the ground were also dragged up with dust, and if you didn't go into the woods to see, you would naturally think that there were countless iron horsemen in ambush in the forest.
Under the city of Peixian.
Li Yang saw that no one in the city had come out to fight for a long time, and his mouth was grinning, which showed that the suspicious array set by Han Xin had worked.
To be honest, Han Xin's way of using troops really made Li Yang secretly admire.
is because I mentioned before that Liu Ji may have a strategist named Xiao He under his hands, who is resourceful, and Liu Ji listens to this strategist very much. As a result, Han Xin came up with such a suspicious plan to deal with the enemy army.
In his words, if the enemy army is a group of reckless men, this plan is difficult to achieve, but if there are strategists in the opposing army, this plan is 100% sure that it can be achieved, and it is also possible to recapture Peixian.
Historically, Han Xin's greatest characteristic in the use of troops was that he was the best at using troops flexibly in the history of Chinese warfare.
Han Xin is familiar with the art of war, and says that "the more soldiers, the better", and at the same time, he also said that he can fight without soldiers.
In history, one of the most wonderful battles of his life, the last battle, was to win more with less, and defeat 200,000 with only 30,000 people.
However, not long after he played the famous "Last Stand". Han Xin had just put the army in order, and Liu Bang pulled the people away again, and asked him to recruit people again to fight against the 100,000 army of the Qi State.
Faced with this predicament, Han Xin invented the method of developing the downline of MLM in later generations, giving thousands of soldiers money and food, and letting them pull people on their own. Pull back five people, for the captain, pull back ten people, why long, pull back a hundred people, for the centurion, pull back a thousand people, for the general. In a word, as many people as you can bring back, you will be an official.
As a result, Han Xin quickly raised a large army, directly destroyed the Qi State, and forced Liu Bang to make him the king of Qi.
In short, this guy is a demon, he can fight with soldiers, and he can fight without soldiers. When he fights, he is completely free from the limitations of his troops.
It is precisely because he is familiar with Han Xin in history that Li Yang dared to use 500 people to quell the chaos in the Qilin Palace.
Joke, Han Xin relied on 2,000 soldiers to destroy the Qi State with an army of 100,000, and now there are only more than 30,000 rebels, Han Xin can't clean it up? Is he still a soldier then?
Han Xin did not disappoint Li Yang, and before entering Dongyang County, he agreed on a strategy with Li Yang.
First, he let out the wind and let the enemy know that Li Yang personally led 30,000 iron horsemen this time.
Then he transferred the local army of Dongyang County, and set up a suspicious array in the woods outside Peixian County, and deliberately brought 500 people to the city to scold in order to make the enemy believe that he had an army of 30,000.
In this way, the enemy firmly believed in the fact that Li Yang had 30,000 iron horsemen.
In Han Xin's words, although you don't have soldiers, you must make the enemy think that you have soldiers.
After scolding for half an hour, he still didn't see the city gate open, Han Xin was also tired of scolding, stopped, returned to the formation, and smiled at Li Yang: "My lord, this plan is done, now you can persuade you to surrender!" ”
Li Yang nodded, it is impossible to fight, and five hundred people are still fighting a few times, so naturally they want to drive people away without a fight.
So he turned to Li You and said, "Go and call Xiao He out to talk!" ”
"Whoa!"
Li You received the order, immediately urged the horse to go to the city, and shouted to the thieves in the city: "Prime Minister Zhongcheng invites Xiao He to go out of the city to talk!" ”
