Xi Junmai thought about it for a long time, and finally found the crux of the problem.

The reason why the army led by Xue Rengui was strong was because they used a steam tricycle caravan.

The 3,000 soldiers and horses he led came on three steamers when they came.

Xi Junmai has naturally seen the steam three-wheeler.

Before the results came out, Xi Junmai only felt that the steam three wheels were very powerful.

But he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

It seems that advanced weapons can indeed change a war.

Xi Junmai decided that after he returned, he would ask the king of Shu to assemble a steam tricycle for his army no matter what.

At this time, Xue Rengui was summing up the gains and losses of this war.

"Your Highness, the last general believes that the neat tricycle is very powerful, but it is not without its shortcomings."

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Li Su couldn't help but nodded.

It seems that Xue Rengui was not carried away by a big victory, and he actually saw the shortcomings of the steam tricycle so quickly.

The steam tricycle naturally has shortcomings, and it is not a tank, how can it be that there are no shortcomings at all?

Li Su couldn't help asking: "General Xue, then tell me, what are the shortcomings of the steam three-wheeler?" ”

Xue Rengui couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, the first disadvantage of the steam tricycle is that the speed is slightly slower than that of the war horse, of course, the sustained ability of the steam tricycle will definitely be stronger than the war horse!" ”

"The second and biggest drawback is that the steam tricycle is too dependent on the road. If the road conditions are not good, the steam tricycle will not be able to pursue, and can only watch the enemy escape. The enemy can even take advantage of this and make targeted strategic deployments. ”

"The third point is that the steam trio is not good for melee! The situation last night was only exceptional, the enemy was all cavalry, and there were few of them. ”

"Once our steam three wheels stop, and the enemy sends a large number of infantry to surround it and attack it with rockets or other means, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Li Su couldn't help but nod with relief.

These three points are indeed the shortcomings of the steam three wheels, and Xue Rengui's vision is extremely unique.

Li Su couldn't help but say: "General Xue is right, these three points are indeed the shortcomings of the current steam tricycle. ”

"However, what this king wants to say is that the ultimate factor that determines a war is people, not weapons."

"Any weapon depends on the person who uses it and how to use it!"

"In this world, there is no all-powerful, no flawed weapon, the key depends on how you use it!"

"The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is a hundred battles! As long as we have enough intelligence, we will surely win the final victory! ”

"Li Yuanfang, send all the members of the Huya special combat team to carry out infiltration and intelligence work behind enemy lines."

"Yes!"

After the meeting, Li Yuanfang immediately went down and ordered the members of the Huya special combat team to carry out activities.

Since its establishment, the Huya Special Combat Team has not had any decent records.

Yesterday's battle, in Li Yuanfang's opinion, was not enough to prove them.

And the order given by His Highness today is the event that can prove their ability.

They must do a good job in this matter.

And Li Yuanfang and Xue Rengui are constantly reflecting on what King Shu just said.

The words of the King of Shu touched them deeply.

The key to winning or losing a war is people, not weapons.

This is an opinion they have never heard of before.

And the more I reminisce, the more I feel that it makes sense.

……

After dawn, the generals Khalid, Ibn and Welid, who were in the Great Eclipse, were reported that the town of Guizi had been captured by the Tang Dynasty.

None of the 10,000 cannibal cavalry guarding Guizi Town fled back.

General Moyad, who was stationed in the town of Guizi, has been killed in battle, and his head is currently hanging at the gate of the city.

When they got the news, Khalid, Ibn and Welid were furious.

How is this possible?

Overnight, the town of Guizi has actually been lost?

Moyad was killed, and 10,000 soldiers were wiped out.

That's 10,000 cannibal cavalry!

It's night again!

Even if it's 10,000 pigs, there will be escapes, right?

How could it be that no one escaped?

Now the things that are very troublesome for Khaled, Ibn and Vellid are what happened to him in the town of Guizi, how many Tang troops came, how well the Tang army was equipped, how combat effectiveness was, how many cavalry and how many infantry.

And so on, these basic information, it can be said that I don't know anything.

Now the complete asymmetry of the news makes it difficult for Willier to make a decision.

Wei Lide fought in the south and the north, won a hundred battles, and naturally he would not be a reckless man.

Wei Lide immediately sent a large number of scouts to find out the news.

At the same time, Wei Lide himself was deeply pondered.

As for Moyad's ability, Wei Lide is very clear.

Moyad is a brave and fierce general, but his flaw is that he can be arrogant at times.

Wei Lide believes that this failure must have suffered from his arrogance.

Even Willier has restored the scene of yesterday's battlefield.

They had two garrisons outside the city.

It must have been the Tang Dynasty's army that attacked these two garrisons and then lured Mo Yad out of the city, and Mo Yad fell into the trap of the Tang Dynasty and was eventually wiped out.

This is just a very simple small ploy to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and Wei Lide doesn't believe that Moyad can't see it.

But this stupid pig will be so arrogant that he thinks that the Tang army will strike unremittingly, and then fall into the trap of the other party.

And what makes Wei Lide a headache is, how many soldiers and horses did Datang come this time?

To be able to wipe out all the 10,000 defenders of Guizi Town and not let a single person escape, Wei Lide concluded that Datang must have at least 100,000 soldiers and horses.

However, in such a short period of time, where did Datang mobilize these 100,000 soldiers and horses?

What is the combat effectiveness of these 100,000 soldiers and horses?

Without this information, Wei Lide simply could not make the right strategic deployment.

And at ten points in the evening, through the news fed back by a large number of scouts, Wei Lide finally had some general information.

This time, the generals of the Tang Dynasty are the Shu kings of their Tang Dynasty.

It is said that this time they brought a total of 100,000 troops, all of which were the King of Shu's own soldiers and horses in Jiannan Road.

This King of Shu is a legend in the Tang Dynasty and has repeatedly created miracles.

There are also countless miraculous deeds of the King of Shu in the back.

Wei Lide took the initiative to ignore these things.

He simply didn't believe that so many miraculous things could happen to one person.

And this King of Shu actually has an army of 100,000!

If that were the case, it would not be strange to use an army of 100,000 to eat Khaled's 10,000 cavalry, and not one of them would be able to escape.

Moreover, Wei Lide got the news that the 100,000 soldiers and horses led by the king of Shu were all infantry, and there was no cavalry.

In this way, Wei Lide is even more relieved.

The 100,000 infantry without cavalry was, in the eyes of Wei Lide, just a two-legged sheep to be slaughtered.

At present, the total strength of Wei Lide in the entire Anxi Protectorate is still 100,000.

And among the 100,000 soldiers and horses, there were 50,000 cavalry.

Wei Lide decided to concentrate all his forces first and eat the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the king of Shu.

After eating these 100,000 soldiers and horses, after further capturing the city of the Tang Dynasty, see what kind of combat effectiveness the second batch of troops sent by the Tang Dynasty will be, and then decide how to fight the war in the future.

Next, Wei Lide quickly issued one order after another.

Dispatched 70,000 soldiers and horses to march in the direction of Guizi Town and Yanqi Governor's Mansion.

Of course, it is impossible for 100,000 soldiers and horses to be concentrated in Guizi Town, and Wei Lide concluded that most of the soldiers and horses will be stationed wherever the Yanqi Governor's Mansion is.

At the same time, Wei Lide still sent a large number of scouts to begin to spy on the Tang garrison in Guizi Town and Yanqi Governor's Mansion.

……

At this time, Li Su and Xue Rengui, relying on the Yanqi Governor's Mansion and the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, arranged many ambushes.

This time, what Li Su wants to fight is an information war.

Through asymmetrical information, one at a time, the big food army is ruthless.

This is also the purpose of Li Su's Huya special combat team.

What the Huya Special Combat Team wants to do is to constantly assassinate the scouts of the Great Food.

Don't let them get too much information support, and at the same time be responsible for passing on false information to them, so that they don't get effective information support.

Information warfare was not unheard of in ancient times, but it has never been the case of such a high degree of importance.

Both Datang and Dashi are constantly deploying troops.

The entire Anxi capital is covered with clouds.

What was a headache for Wei Lide was that most of the scouts he sent out actually went and never returned.

You know, there are as many as five or six hundred scouts he sent out.

To hunt down so many scouts, Datang needs to send at least ten times more troops!

Otherwise, these scouts would have acted separately, without ten times the number of troops, and they would not have thought of intercepting them all.

Datang hates scouts so much, he is so mad.

But without the support of intelligence, it is categorically impossible.

Next, Willier had no choice but to send more scouts out.

And this time, it finally paid off.

This time, the scouts sent out actually made gains in all directions.

They actually had a clear picture of the garrisons of Datang in all directions, and even how many troops there were, there were detailed figures.

This situation made Wei Lide overjoyed.

Great, really great!

With this intelligence support, he is completely sure that he will be able to win this war with the minimum cost!

Of course, what Willier didn't know was.

They had experienced scouts, and in a group they had almost been killed.

The second group of scouts sent out were temporarily selected from the army.

These scouts themselves did not have much experience as scouts, and because the first scouts died a lot.

As a direct result, this group of scouts did not dare to go deep into the spy, field investigation.

Most of the information they get is heard from the crowd in the towns and cities.

And then they also confirmed it from afar on the basis of these information.

Found those garrisons, there is definitely the existence of the Tang army.

As for whether these armies have those numbers, they do not know.

And Khalid, as the main general, did not have the slightest awareness of this situation.

Well, mainly because the enemies he had encountered before had never used such a method.

If he had met the King of Shu earlier, maybe he would not have trusted his scouts so much.

Based on this information, Khalid quickly made a deployment.

Regarding Datang's arrangement, Khalid admitted that they still have some ability.

If you don't find out how they are arranged, you might even cause them a little trouble.

It can be seen that the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty is not in vain, but still has a little ability.

But who allowed him to touch himself, who is known as the Sword of Allah?

Wei Lide decided to concentrate the battle on Jinji Mountain this time.

Jinji Mountain, whose name is not found on the map, is an unknown hill.

It is only marked on their military maps.

Although this mountain is not large, it is located in a fortress and is extremely dangerous.

More importantly, Datang hoarded 20,000 soldiers and horses on Jinji Mountain.

Khalid decided to besiege the Tang Army outside Jinji Mountain, and then encircle the point to send reinforcements.

Jinji Mountain is certainly a good place to annex.

But the king of Shu of the Tang Dynasty inevitably miscalculated.

That is, on this Jinji Mountain, the trees are luxuriant.

If there is a little fire, the garrison on the mountain will definitely be burned to pieces.

To attract their reinforcements, of course.

Wei Lide can't burn the mountain in a hurry, he must besiege it first and make a show.

After the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty arrived, they killed the reinforcements first, and then burned the mountain.

In this way, you can kill two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone.

The plan was decided, and Wei Lide quickly issued an order to order the 70,000-strong army to move separately.

And just when Wei Lide's army started, Datang was also constantly arranging troops.

The busiest now is the five hundred Tang troops stationed on Jinji Mountain.

Jinji Mountain is a bait left by the Tang Dynasty, and it is naturally impossible not to settle any troops.

If there is no one, Willier is not a fool.

After his army arrived at Jinji Mountain, he could immediately see the flaws.

When the time comes, he will naturally not stay where he is stupid, but will immediately retreat.

On Jinji Mountain, the looming military camp has been arranged.

If you don't look closely, you won't find it.

If you look closely, you can definitely find that, well, these military camps can station about 20,000 troops.

And that's just the first step they need to take.

The second step is that they have to build some defenses.

500 people, you have to pretend to be 20,000 people.

The army of the Great Food will definitely make the choice of encircling the point to send reinforcements.

But they can't let the army of big eaters see too many flaws.

Although it is impossible for the Great Food Army to attack with all its might, they only need to show their due resistance.

Of course, the first two points are not the point.

The point is, they now need to dig a pit to build a perfect barrier.

In the end, it is very likely that the Great Eclipse will take the fire attack.

Once the Great Food is attacked by fire, if they don't have time to build defenses in time, then they will be burned into jerky by the fire.

For the sake of their own lives, they must also build defenses.

……

Three days later, the generals Khalid, Ibn and Welid, who had eaten the Great Eclipse, led an army of 30,000 to surround Jinji Mountain.

Of course, Wei Lide knew that there were 20,000 Tang troops stationed on Jinji Mountain.

Since it is a siege, the number of people must be at least twice as many as the number of people besieged, 30,000 is far from enough.

Therefore, Wei Lide made it appear that there was someone behind him.

30,000 people, he pretended to have 100,000 people.

After the garrison was completed, Wei Lide carefully observed the military camp on Jinji Mountain and found that there were indeed 20,000 garrisons on the mountain.

At this point, both sides felt that they had deceived each other, and they were both very satisfied.

I have to say that life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!

And the Tang army soon found out about the actions of the Great Food Army, and the Tang Army was shocked.

Immediately sent 50,000 infantry to quickly come to the rescue of the Tang army on Jinji Mountain.

Of course, the number of 50,000 was also calculated by the scouts sent by Wei Lide based on their own guesses.

As for whether this number is accurate or not, only God knows.

After getting the news, Wei Lide couldn't help but be overjoyed.

That's great! It's really great!

Unexpectedly, the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty was even more stupid than he imagined.

He actually sent a whole fifty thousand infantry!

Fifty thousand infantry, in front of his fifty thousand cavalry, was simply an undefended lamb.

Wei Lide immediately sent cavalry to surround and kill the 50,000 cavalry in three directions.

The 50,000 infantry of the Tang Dynasty had just stepped into a depression at this time.

There are three exits in this place, each of which is narrow.

As long as the exit is blocked, the people inside are simply unable to fly.

God help me eat!

Things went well, and even Wei Lide was a little incredulous.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are not too easy to eat.

And just as their cavalry was about to form an encirclement, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded from the depression.

Next, three thousand steamers made a roar and went straight to the exit.

At this time, it was the three teams of Great Eclipse Cavalry, who had just entered the halfway point of the entrance.

It's not easy to get into this place quickly.

If you want to quit, it's even harder.

Moreover, the chariot of the other party made them feel frightened.

What kind of chariot is this?

They were tall and large, as if they were made of steel.

But this kind of chariot does not need to be pulled by a horse at all, it can run by itself, and it can run as fast as a thief.

It seems that it is only a little worse than their war horses.

How did this thing run on its own?

Faced with the unknown, the cavalry of the Great Eclipse was a little panicked.

It's about to be within range.

The commander of the Great Eclipse Cavalry is ready to give orders and prepare for archery.

Shout!

Shout! Shout!

But what they didn't expect was that Datang's chariot team shot first!

Moreover, their chariots can be shot from all to the end.

They still shoot strong crossbow arrows.

Not only does it have a longer range, but it can easily penetrate their armor.

Even a war horse can shoot through.

Tightly one round of shooting, so that the cavalry of the Great Eclipse suffered countless casualties.

However, the ferocity of the Great Food Cavalry is also famous.

The commanders of these three teams of cavalry deeply understand a truth.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

And now they really have no way out.

Now it can be said that it is their half-time moment, and there is no possibility of them returning at all.

If you return, then the half that comes in will only be ruthlessly slaughtered by the other party.

In that case, let's just fight your way out!

Under the command of the three major cavalry commanders of the Great Eclipse, their cavalry, braving the crossbow arrows in the sky, came forward.

At the cost of countless cavalry deaths, they finally approached the steam tricycle.

"Shoot!"

The next moment, their commander, gritted his teeth, launched the order to attack with a bow and arrow.

They want to return a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, and let the army of the Tang Dynasty also taste the power of their Great Food Empire's bow and arrow.

However, the result is that they are desperate.

Their arrows hit the chariots of the people, and they were mercilessly bounced away.

Their bows and arrows can't break through other people's defenses at all.

Do you want to play with yarn?

At this time, the three great leaders of the Great Food Empire were also desperate in their hearts.

If they had known that this would be the case, they might not have given the order to attack just now.

Instead, the order to quit will be given.

But after a while, quite a few cavalry entered.

Now they have no way out.

As a result, the three major cavalry commanders of the Great Food Empire gave the order to continue advancing.

Since bows and arrows are not a threat to you, it is better to get close and fight in close quarters.

It is well known why cavalry is an infantry nemesis?

It is that the cavalry can use the power of the war horse to attack, and the cavalry has strong mobility, and can fight if you want to fight, and go when you want to.

But cavalry could not be confined to a standstill.

Once the cavalry is at a standstill, the power will be greatly reduced.

Hand-to-hand combat is the nemesis of cavalry!

So, they choose to fight in close quarters!

Well, well, actually, they're cavalry......

However, this is all forced by Datang's chariot to do this!

On the premise of continuing to pay two percent of the troops, their war horses finally rushed in front of the chariot of the steam three-wheeler.

Then, the other party was also forced to stop by them.

Well, no way, the steam tricycle is not the big truck of the steel monster, let alone the tank.

If you use a steam tricycle to hit a war horse, you will definitely be able to knock the war horse down.

But this tricycle is estimated to be crooked.

And this is not what Xue Rengui wants to see.

And for the cavalry of the Great Eclipse, this is even more of a surprise.

Haha, it's really great!

If we have the ability, we don't rely on mounts, but we can do it with real knives and guns, okay?

Next, the cavalry of the Great Eclipse quickly approached the steam tricycle, then drew the long knife at his waist and slashed at the steam tricycle.

duang!

As a result, the long knife was directly curled and flicked high.

Even the tiger's mouth was popped out of blood.

The cavalry of the Great Eclipse was about to be so angry that they vomited blood.

This chariot of other people can't shoot through the arrow, and it can't be cut with a knife!

What's the matter?

I had no choice but to climb into the chariot and kill the soldiers inside.

Then they found out, to their sorrow, that they couldn't reach it.

They had to climb onto the war horses, and standing on the war horses, they were just able to reach the Tang soldiers in the chariot.

But in the same way, they themselves have become live targets for the Tang soldiers.

And people are more handy, it's just a knife and a monster, uh, a knife and a big food soldier!

The cavalry of the Great Eclipse was directly angry and cried!

Is this still a yarn?

Just ask you, how else to play this?
