The book is picked up again.

Although the captain didn't think that the cavalry could solve his current predicament, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Tell me about your method, if it is really useful, a certain family will definitely ask for credit for you like the lord." ”

Hearing this, the ...... cavalry hesitated for a while again before gritting his teeth and saying, "One word - rob!"

I'm not far from other states and counties now, as long as I wait hard......"

"Shut up !!" As soon as the lieutenant heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy, and he loudly interrupted the cavalryman's words.

At this time, how could he not understand that the cavalry was instigating him to rob the grain of the common people on his own territory!

Indeed, as long as he can be ruthless in snatching the people's rations, he will be able to solve the current difficulties!

However, he knew very well the temperament of his lord!

Once he really did this, even if he made a great contribution in this battle, when he went back, Li Zhi would definitely punish him with the heaviest criminal law!

Besides, he is also from a civilian background, and he is unwilling and unwilling to do such an unreasonable thing!

So after he scolded loudly, he stared at the cavalry in front of him with a serious face and said, "Listen up! Even if we all starve to death, we must not rob the common people of their rations!

If anyone dares to do this, without waiting for the lord to deal with it, a certain family will behead him! Remember that there is no !! ”

"No... Promise!!! The cavalry was taken aback by the captain's hideous face, and subconsciously responded loudly to the captain's military salute.

"Humph!" Seeing this, the captain snorted coldly and said, "In the future, if you dare to say such a heart-wrenching remark, a certain family will definitely not be able to spare you!" ”

After glaring at the cavalry again, the captain touched his bearded chin, looked into the distance and muttered: "The lord once said that there are two ways to get rich - open source and throttle.

To put it bluntly, it is to make money everywhere and cut down on food and clothing, this sentence is also suitable for now!

Now, we can't get food from other places, so we can't open source, so we can't wait, so we can only throttle! ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the war horse under his crotch and said thoughtfully: "I only brought two days' rations and horse feed, and we people can't skip food, but these horses can." ”

The lieutenant had the idea of these yards.

These horse materials are nothing else, they are some rough horse materials made of black beans and soybeans, although people definitely don't taste very good, but they can fill their stomachs.

Moreover, because the war horses eat a large amount of food, their horse feed a day can make people eat him for two or three days, so that the food problem can be solved!

"No, General!" When the cavalry saw that the captain was so frenzied that he had the idea of horse feed, he immediately dissuaded him with an anxious face: "We are all cavalry, and the cavalry relies on the impact of war horses!"

If the horses are starved for two days, then they may not even be able to run, how can they kill the enemy?

In that case, it would be better for me to wait for these cavalrymen to tighten their belts, starve them for two days, and then eat all the food at once when the battle begins.

In this way, although it will be a little uncomfortable for the first few days, it will not delay the business. ”

"You're really

It's a fool! After striking the sergeant's helmet with his whip, the lieutenant said angrily: "People will starve if they have no food to eat, but it is not necessary for a horse to run out of food......

As he spoke, he pointed to the lush mountains and forests on both sides with his horsewhip and said, "Horses can also eat grass in addition to horse feed.

I waited for two days to bring horse feed, and I can leave a day's horse feed for people to eat, and let the war horses go to graze.

And when I am about to fight the enemy, I will feed the horses with the rest of the day's horse feed, so that the matter of grain and grass can be perfectly solved. ”

"The general is worthy of being a general, he is really powerful, and his subordinates are respectful!"

After listening to the captain's words, the cavalry immediately slapped his ass.

Indeed, it doesn't hurt for a war horse to eat grass for two days,

Because they usually feed some grass when they raise war horses, at most they are mixed with a little horse feed, and they will only feed all the horse feed when they are at war.

Therefore, it is indeed a very good way to let the war horses eat some grass during these two days without war, and then eat horse feed when the war starts.

"Smack!" After the lieutenant heard the sound of the cavalry's horses, he whipped him on his armor again, and said angrily: "Of course a certain family knows that a certain family is very powerful, and you still need to say it?!"

Stop messing around, hurry up and pass on someone's orders! ”

"No!"

………

Three days later, Luoyang.

Liu Biao's army had already come to the gate of Luoyang, but they did not lack one of the three as in an ordinary siege battle, but only blocked one side of the door, and ignored the other aspects at all, which was very strange.

Seeing this, Li Zheng, who was watching the battle on the city wall, frowned and asked Li Zhi, "Father, why did the enemy only block one city gate and ignore the rest?" Are they not afraid that we will flee from the other gates? ”

"Of course they're not afraid!" Li Zhi sneered and said: "The current strength of others is only 250,000 or 60,000 people, if they dare to attack Luoyang with the strategy of encircling three and missing one, then they must divide their troops!"

In this way, they have a maximum of 80,000 or 90,000 men in front of a wall!

When the time comes, we can completely place 10,000 or 20,000 people on the two walls to defend it, while the others will gather together to go out of the city to face the battle!

Our armor is far stronger than the enemy, as long as the difference in numbers is not too big, the enemy will inevitably suffer in the end!

And the enemy knows this, so they don't stupidly kill themselves.

Anyway, the purpose of their coming here is to let us lose the last line of defense in Luoyang, as long as Luoyang is captured, we can only wander around like lost dogs, and we can't even supply logistics!

Therefore, they are sure that we will never dare to abandon Luoyang City!

Since this is the case, then there is no need for them to use the strategy of encircling three and missing one, it is better to unite their forces and attack only one city wall, so as to ensure that their army will not be defeated due to accidents, and more effectively restrain us.

What's more, even if they don't attack the other walls, we must place troops on the other walls to defend against sudden enemy attacks, which invisibly weakens our strength! ”

With that, he leaned over the walls with his hands and looked outward.

To tell the truth, Li Zhi was quite surprised, in the battle of Tiger Pass, Li Zhi did not find out how powerful the enemy was, but made mistakes repeatedly, and looked like a person who did not know how to march and fight was commanding a large army to fight.

But after coming to Luoyang, the enemy suddenly seemed to have changed commanders, and the entire army became more rational!

After looking at it for a while, Li Zhi squinted his eyes and said, "There must be wise people outside the city!" Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Liu Biao, a person who was not familiar with military affairs, to come up with such a simple and subtle strategy! ”

"I see, that's ......" After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Zheng suddenly realized.

Originally, he thought that the enemy had taken the wrong medicine and didn't even use the siege strategy of the classic crime, but now it seems that the enemy may have other plans.

Just when Li Zhi's father and son were discussing the army under the city, Liu Biao and others also gathered together, looked at Luoyang City not far away, and discussed how to attack.

"Xeno, can we continue to use the strategy of exhausting the enemy when the Tiger Prison is closed? Wouldn't that work? ”

After hearing Liu Biao's inquiry, Kuai Yue frowned and shook his head, and said: "No, this time is different from the past, the reason why the enemy did not dare to divide his troops when he was in the Tiger Prison Pass was because they had too few soldiers and horses, and once they divided their troops, they would inevitably be taken advantage of by us."

And now, there are 100,000 troops in the city, even if we divide the troops, we can't help them, so the strategy of exhausting the enemy has been nullified! ”

"Hiss......" After Liu Biao rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, he asked puzzledly: "Why don't you just surround Luoyang?" In this way, the enemy's defensive forces will inevitably be scattered, and when the time comes, will we just use the strategy of exhausting the enemy? ”

Liu Biao really didn't want to give up this useful strategy.

To be honest, Kuai Yue also came up with a lot of strategies in the Battle of Tiger Pass, but in the end, it also came in handy with the strategy of exhausting the enemy.

This strategy is tested on the battlefield and is guaranteed to be useful, Liu Biao really doesn't want to be tempted again and again, so he still wants to repeat the old trick.

However, after hearing Liu Biao's words, Kuai Yue still shook his head and said, "We must not divide our troops!"

Once the troops are divided, the enemy will inevitably take advantage of the superior armor to suddenly attack from one of the walls!

The enemy has more than 30,000 cavalry in his hands, and if they suddenly attack, they will definitely be able to achieve great results in a short time.

And without cavalry, we can only watch them raid again and again, so that we and the besiegers will fall into disadvantage!

Therefore, we must not divide our troops! ”

"......" After Liu Biao listened to Kuai Yue's words, although he was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that Kuai Yue made sense, so he could only nod helplessly.

Then, he asked Huang Zhong on the side, "Han Sheng." Do you have any plans? ”

Huang Zhong is an experienced veteran, although he did not achieve many results in the battle of Tiger Pass, but he is also decent, and he is even more cautious, which is very valued by Liu Biao, so Liu Biao can't help but ask Huang Zhong for advice when he can't think about it.

After Huang Zhong heard Liu Biao's words, he frowned, stroked his gray beard and said, "We don't know everything in Luoyang, and we can't even know ourselves and the other, so what strategy can we talk about?"

According to what my subordinates have seen, we might as well attack first, test the enemy, and see how the enemy reacts before saying anything else. ”
