Chapter 993: Checking the Situation of the Enemy
(Thank you for the commuter pass!) )
Although Liu Xin was a little low because of physical exertion, the meaning of the words was also sonorous and powerful! When Fang Gang started the army, the young Liu Yi always had a momentum of treating the heroes of the world as nothing, and this momentum Liu Xin also inherited from his father, not as arrogant as this father and son, but with incomparable confidence in himself! However, compared with the release of King Yan back then, today's Liu Xin is much more restrained, he doesn't like to talk more about the war with the enemy, everything should be divided into high and low under his hands, but when he shoots, he still has the temperament of Langsheng, especially some actions can make people feel crying and laughing.
For the big man's words and Guan Yu's power, above the tiger idiot Xu Chu, Liu Xin has a certain recognition, purely in terms of the pressure brought to the opponent, this Guan Yunchang can be the first person Liu Xin has seen in his life, as for his father, he has not seen his heroic appearance on the battlefield, and he will never be the enemy with him, so he naturally can't talk about feelings. Indifferently in his heart, he also knows that those who can be at the top of the spectrum of the generals have amazing and extraordinary arts in all countries, and it is difficult to accurately judge without fighting with both sides, and there will also be a saying that the style is restrained among the top first-class generals, not all of them are judged by the high level of martial arts.
Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife has the unfathomable power of ghosts and gods, today's Liu Xin can be regarded as having personally experienced the power of it, he has to admit that he is not as good as this person now, and he does have the ability to see life and death with his father and third uncle! However, Liu Xinzhong will not be arrogant, what his father said is true, a strong opponent will give you more motivation to move forward than a good teacher! At this time, diligent and hard training to defeat Guan Yu under the halberd has become one of Liu Xin's goals, and he has to pay double his sweat to achieve it! Of course, before this, there is still a battle between him and Guan Yu.
It is more feasible to use the mobility of the cavalry to retreat for a decisive battle or harass than the infantry army, they do not need to pay a certain amount of losses like Zang Ba to win the opportunity to retreat, and the speed of the cavalry horse is far superior to that of the infantry, so that it can quickly break away from the opponent and choose a new method of battle! Retreating, advancing, and constantly entangled with it to delay the speed of its advance is the tactic that Liu Xin had already formulated when he retreated, and it can also be said to be the best choice under the current situation! In the past few years of experience in the military camp, the second son has not only increased his martial arts and knowledge, but also his ability and experience are constantly accumulating, especially since Qingzhou, the repeated actual combat is of great significance to his growth, if you want to become the main general of the first army, you must understand success or failure on the battlefield!
Of course, the success of a tactic depends on the ability of your opponent in addition to the commander's accurate analysis of the situation, the right timing, and the refined use of your soldiers. Guan Yu has been following behind him since he retreated, and compared with his legs and four hooves, he can still not be pulled down too far, which also shows the strictness of Danyang's elite soldiers' ordinary training! And such a high-speed march is not for them to go all out, because they must pay attention to their formation at any time when running in case the other party suddenly kills back the horse pistol and surprises, after all, Liu Xin still has more than 2,000 cavalry in his hands.
When Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong City in the Battle of Hanzhong that day, the first thing he did was to drive Ma Chao's Sizhou battalion so that it could not form an angle with the strong city, so as to reduce the difficulty of attacking the city and avoid being constrained by it when he went all out! Forcing the cavalry with the infantry army, the Cao army relied on the neat formation and pace and the distance between the enemy cavalry and the whole time! This distance is very particular, not only to keep putting pressure on the other party but also not to let them use it to launch an impact, without many years of experience in the battle formation, it is difficult to maintain this properly, in Hanzhong City, Cao Jun obviously did this, that is, Ma Chao, who was good at commanding the cavalry, finally had to lead the army away, leaving the other party far behind, so that although the Cao army's foot soldiers could not pose a threat to the Sizhou battalion, but its horn momentum was also broken by the enemy.
Although the situation in this place in Xunan is very different from that in Hanzhong, the method used by Guan Yu to deal with Liu Xin's cavalry battalion is the same as that of Cao Mengde, but there are clever differences in the layout! Hanzhong's retreat from the enemy is in the daytime, and the cavalry's vision is not hindered in any way, giving them the slightest chance Ma Chao Pang De can organize a powerful group impact, so Cao's army must be restrained with a strict formation and the cooperation between various departments! But at this time it was a night battle, it was difficult for the cavalry to fully exert its ability to rush into battle, Guan Yu took a loose and non-disconnected arc formation to outflank the cavalry battalion, that distance was controlled just right, it was difficult to run forward too far with all his strength, Liu Xin retreated and couldn't find the opportunity to turn back and fight several times in a row, the pressure of the Yangzhou army behind him was always there, and once he turned back, he would be quickly hit by them!
The strength of Yandi is the crown of the world, and the advantage of the cavalry is extremely obvious, and the sum of the three infantry soldiers can still beat the total number of the Yan army, but because the war horse is strictly controlled by Liu Yi and the cavalry is the three of them, it is difficult to compete with the Yan army's iron cavalry battalion, not to mention that they also have Ma Chao's Sizhou battalion and Yan Liang's Jizhou battalion of nearly 40,000 cavalry! Therefore, for the three heroes in the south, how to give full play to the infantry tactics and use all the available conditions to resist the Yan cavalry has become the key that cannot be ignored, which is reflected in its ordinary exercises, and now Guan Yu shows a tactic of restricting the cavalry in the night battle, which has been quite effective.
At present, Liu Xin's only response is to quickly whip the Danyang elite soldiers behind him and then find a way to deal with it, but first, the enemy's follow-up is extremely fast, and he can't give full play to the full strength of the cavalry battalion at night, and secondly, this place is only more than ten miles away from the Yanjun Water Village, and the space for him to gallop is too small. Whether it is martial arts or controlling soldiers, Guan Yu has shown the level of a generation of famous generals, maybe Liu Xinshang can compete with it with his extraordinary talent in martial arts, but the experience gap between the two sides and the ability to command the army in the battle array is more obvious, and now the second son of the newborn calf is still a little immature compared with Guan Yunchang, the general of the battlefield, and it is difficult to compete with it!
If this team of soldiers is replaced by Yan Gang or Hua Xiong to command, Guan Yu will inevitably face much greater difficulty, the age difference between the generals above the battle formation is more telling than the fighting generals, the difference in experience in martial arts is only a matter of two people, and when it comes to the battle of the army, it will affect thousands of soldiers. If there was no drum beat of the previous order, it would be a great loss to fight with his subordinates, Liu Xin would also have to turn back to fight with him to buy time for his successor comrades to react, but now he can't do this, he must have confidence in his comrades!
The ten-mile distance is just a cup of tea for the cavalry, and the well-trained infantry is only half an hour, Liu Xin can't find an effective response to Guan Yu's march for a while, and the short distance of ten miles can't allow him to do too much thinking before it has passed, at this time in the eyes of the Yangzhou soldiers, the goal of their trip has already appeared in front of them, and the direction of the Yan army's Liuhe Water Village. When it was built, the old and the new, the bright and the dark could indeed hide people's eyes and ears, but that was in the face of the detection of the enemy army on the river, and now that the enemy infantry army had come closer, such a cover would no longer have an effect, and Guan Yu's vision could naturally see where the Yan army was on guard, and at this time, even a general like Zang Ba Ji Ling would never go to the empty city, the danger was too great!
When defending the city, make good use of the horns of the momentum This is the fine tradition of the Yan army, and the refusal to defend the camp is also average, compared to Liu Xin's lack of actual combat experience, Lin Xue, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Longxiang Army, is much more sophisticated, and his more than 2,000 horsemen wandered two or three miles west of the water village, seeing Guan Yu's army arrived without any expression, at this time the deputy general Pan Shuang in the water village was waiting for the arrival of Ji Ling's words, five Xiangyang cannons, six Mofang crossbows and thousands of Yan soldiers were waiting for the arrival of Yangzhou soldiers. And Liu Xin saw this formation of his army and immediately understood, the whole army accelerated to the east of the camp, away from the Danyang elite soldiers and completely exposed the front of the water village in front of Guan Yu, and now the choice of the battle situation is in the hands of Guan Yunchang of the Yangzhou army.
Arrived at three hundred steps away from the Yan Army Water Village, the Danyang elite soldiers stopped, the camp was in the middle, the cavalry battalion was left and right for support, the other party obviously put a pocket array for himself, a few days ago the Liaodong Army attacked Leping City The military situation has been transmitted to the Lujiang River, and Guan Yu has heard of the excellent equipment of the Yan Army even if he has not seen it in person. Now that the enemy army has made a posture of letting itself attack, it must be relied on, and it will be expected that the frontal impact will be hit by its strong blow!
Attacking a strong city or an enemy village, as the attacking party to pay a heavier price is military common sense Guan Yu will not be unaware, he has great confidence in the ability of the Danyang elite soldiers under his command to attack the fortifications, otherwise it will not be him who comes here by copying the Yiyang Trail, and it is the best choice to take those rugged roads without being a flying army! Guan Yu is not afraid of paying the price, as long as the strategic goal can be achieved, the leading generals will not hesitate because of this, what he is worried about is the involvement of the cavalry on both sides, and he is sure that he can only deal with the whole road, whether it is the camp or the cavalry, with his own battle array command ability, but now that there is a faint cooperation between the two, it is necessary to investigate it carefully.
The place where the Yan army camp is set up is not very far from the place where Zang Ba Ji Ling led the Long Xiang soldiers to fight with Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, and the fire in the west can also be seen in the night and the faint sound of shouting and killing, of course, this sound is extremely subtle, which shows that Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong's subordinates have not been able to break through the defense of the Yan army, and these cavalry are all staying here to monitor themselves can also prove that Zang Ba is extremely confident in blocking the other party with the strength in his hands! These Guan Yu had already made a quick judgment in his heart, but in the face of the horns of the Long Xiang Army in front of him, how should he break the situation? Time is extremely precious at this time, once the sky brightens, even these thousands of cavalry are a great threat, a moment later, Guan Yu's Qinglong Sword pointed diagonally at the sky, he has already made a decision!
