Tan Pingzhi's brows furrowed: "Dao Ji, it's not for you to talk nonsense when I asked you to discuss military aircraft, we only have three hundred infantry, and we don't have big carts, so we can resist these horses, and we have to be upright and upright to fight against two thousand cavalry on this plain, don't you take the lives of your brothers seriously?" Even if we win, we will lose a lot, how much effort do we have to spend on training, how can we just fold casually? ”

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Bottle, since it is a military discussion, then there is a chance to speak freely, whether it makes sense or not, listen to it first, Daoji, you said that you are upright and positive, do you have a chance of winning?" ”

Tan Pingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "This river can become our reliance, although there is no big car, but if we dig a trench overnight, divert the river water to cut off the road in the forest, we can cross the river with the enemy, and then set up more banners, send a small number of suspicious soldiers to raise dust and shout in the dense forest behind, the enemy army does not know my reality, dare not move, at this time, if we take the initiative to make an offensive appearance, and then retreat with a touch, deceive and lure the enemy, abandon the baggage and armor, and lure the Xiyan army to fight, As long as they are trapped in the muddy land around the trench, they can use strong bows and crossbows to kill and wound a large number of them, and the enemy army is in chaos, our army is killed on all fronts, and they fight in close combat, and the enemy cavalry loses speed, and we fight on the spot. ”

Wei Yongzhi said with a smile: "This idea is good, we don't have a big car, we can borrow some from the people of Dongjiawu, they won't do nothing, temporarily cut down trees, do hundreds of horses to resist, it's not a difficult thing, as long as the defense is strong, the enemy's cavalry will not want to break our defense line!" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Liu Yu, only to see him say slowly: "Everyone, have you thought about it, what is our purpose in this battle?" ”

Liu Daogui said with a straight face: "Our battle is to show the combat effectiveness of our Beifu Army, repel the vanguard of the Western Yan Army, and cover the evacuation of the people of Dongjiawu. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Very well-said, then, defeating the vanguard of the Western Yan Army can show our combat effectiveness?" If we rely on digging ditches, relying on rejecting horses, and relying on wooden fences to prevent the impact of the enemy, it is most likely that the enemy army will retreat in the face of difficulties, and then we will not be able to kill and wound a large number of their soldiers and horses, and we will take thousands of people in this dock fort to retreat all the way to Luoyang, which is hundreds of miles away, and may not be able to go in three days, if the enemy army is following behind, and even Murong Yong sent elite cavalry to help, I am afraid that we will not only not be able to retreat back to Luoyang, but even we will all be killed here. ”

When everyone heard this, everyone's color changed, and Murong Lan's brows tightened: "So, how to fight this battle?" If you don't set up a defense, you will fight on the plains like this, and you will annihilate all the enemy troops? ”

Liu Yu put away his smile and pointed to the forest passage: "This road, you can run two horses in parallel at the same time, and some cavalry can also pass through the forest, they can't come with more than four columns, if two thousand horsemen come, they will only be divided into teams, a team of 100 people, a team of 100 people into the battlefield, if they find that our army is in full formation, they will definitely wait for all the men and horses to arrive, and ride in front of the forest." ”

"Therefore, if our army guards the intersection and shoots it with a strong bow and crossbow, the enemy will give up the attack, turn back, and then reconnoiter our actions with rangers, this is the most troublesome thing, their cavalry is good at mobility, if they are glued like this, we can't retreat, and it's not easy to retreat, not to mention that Dong Lei's father and son may not look down on us and agree to evacuate, even if they retreat, with the speed of their people in the village, it will be difficult to get to Luoyang in three days, and they will be chased and killed by the enemy cavalry halfway, and they will definitely be defeated!"

Speaking of which, Liu Yu pointed to the back of Dongjiawu's village, a long flow of people, mostly women and children, pushing a wheelbarrow, loaded with children, began to march from the back door in the direction of Luoyang City, Liu Yu smiled: "See, Dong Lei is also aware of this problem, so he began to let the women and children in the village go first, leaving a few thousand Ding Zhuang to guard the village, indicating that he is not sure about this battle and will not pin his hopes on us, so we will not only win tomorrow, but also win a big victory, and we will deal a devastating blow to this Xiyan army, It is best to completely annihilate the enemy, so as to deter the enemy's courage, so that our evacuation in the next few days will be without danger. ”

Tan Yizhi's brows were deeply locked: "Relying only on our three hundred people, we want to annihilate these two thousand enemy horsemen?" I'm afraid it's a little difficult, relying on a tough battle, taking advantage of the opportunity when the enemy's formation is unstable, and a charge to defeat them, but if they are all destroyed, it is not so easy. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Therefore, we can't let them attack when their foothold is unstable, but on the contrary, we have to let them surprise us, and then send out an ambush to strike a hard blow and cut it off from it, so as to win a big victory!" ”

Wei Yongzhi's eyes lit up: "How can we do this?" ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "You say, if you are the Western Yan Army, under what circumstances will you attack and attack desperately, instead of waiting for the men and horses behind to arrive?" ”

Murong Lan laughed: "The robbers will only light up when they see money, desperate, if the ground is full of baggage, the front is mostly fleeing crowds, and there are no strong troops in the rear, so they will rush up, because, according to the rules of Xiyan, whoever grabs whom." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "That's it, so, we need to do a few things, one is to spread baggage and grain everywhere, showing a very hurried and panicked look, this can ask Dong Lei to cooperate, I believe he will do the same, and second, arrange a guard team of no more than 100 people here, do not wear heavy armor, do not hold a hard crossbow, dress up as Zhuang Ding, and lure the enemy to take the initiative to attack." ”

Tan Daoji was surprised: "Don't wear heavy armor and don't use a strong crossbow?" Is it really good to deal with the onslaught of cavalry like this on the plains? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Dig a ditch to divert water in front, as I just said, the enemy army cannot be quickly deployed, often dozens of people, more than 100 people in a team scattered cavalry one by one, if we are strong, they will wait for the follow-up, if we find that our strength is insufficient, they will rush to attack, so, we have to lay three ditches here, resist one by one, retreat, when the time comes, smoke, dust, so that the enemy can not see the reality clearly, and then lay some straw men, put on clothes and armor, and throw them in place when retreating, so that the enemy thinks that the attack has an effect, so that they will rush up, When I retreat to the third line of defense, I will switch to a strong bow and crossbow, and at this time there will be at least five or six hundred enemy troops rushing up, and I need a salvo to completely crush them and disrupt them! ”

Wang Zhenwei blinked: "But even so, it is only a heavy blow to the enemy, so that hundreds of enemy horsemen can be killed, and the rest will flee, so it is not called total annihilation." ”

Liu Yu smiled and pointed to the river on the side: "If you want to annihilate them, you will rely on this river." ”
