0145: The reason for the victory

On the bank of the Yellow River, Li Yi silently watched everyone, and behind him was the rolling river. Around him, Cao Cao and the others also looked at Li Yi, quietly waiting for his next step.

To be honest, if someone else put forward such an idea, even Huangfu Song Cao Cao would immediately refute it loudly and keep refuting until Huangfu Song gave up this idea, which seemed to be dead or really done. And Lu Bu and the others naturally won't say much, but it is absolutely impossible for them to give up their lives for Huangfu Song.

But! Now it is Li Yi who put forward this idea, a person whom Cao Cao admires immensely, and Lu Bu and others are willing to pay for it. Now that he put forward such an idea, and showed such an expression of victory, they couldn't help but think of the situation at the beginning, when Li Yi proposed to constantly harass the Yellow Turban Army.

At that time, Cao Cao also looked at Li Yi with a look of a madman, only thinking that Li Yi had been carried away by the victory during this time. But as a result, Cao Cao was stunned, and the first time he saw someone playing cavalry like this, and playing so slippery.

So now, in the face of Li Yi's crazy words again, although Cao Cao had countless rude thoughts in his heart, he still endured it and wanted to hear what Li Yi had to say.

"I think if our army goes head-to-head with the enemy, it has a great advantage~" Li Yi said with a chuckle.

"In the past ten days, our army has rested very well every day, while the enemy has been harassed by our army every day, and he has to hurry during the day and sleep poorly at night, I am afraid that his physical strength and spirit have already reached the brink of collapse, and this is the first advantage."

"Our army is fully equipped and skilled in bows and horses, and most of the enemy troops are ordinary people, and even some people have sickles and hoes as weapons, which is the second advantage."

"Feng Xian and others all have the courage of ten thousand people, but among the enemy army, there are no such fierce generals, this is the third advantage."

"The enemy has long been harassed by our army, but there is still a anger in his heart. If it is unable to defeat our army in a short time, then this fear will resurface, which is the fourth advantage. ”

As soon as Bu Ji heard that the righteous true prince had arrived, he hurriedly led the crowd to flee north, obviously just a timid man. And I, Li Yi...... Hehe, don't say anything about boasting. Li Yi said with a chuckle. Speaking of this, the expressions of Lu Bu and the others had become fanatical, and they were obviously persuaded by Li Yi.

It's just that Cao Cao still retained a trace of caution in his eyes, and looked at Li Yi and said, "It is true that our army does have so many shortcomings against the Yellow Turban Army, but ...... Our army is only 6,000 people, but the enemy army is 120,000! ”

"Haha~ What Meng De said is good, even if we have an advantage of tens of millions, the enemy still has more soldiers than us, and there are more than 12 times more." Li Yi laughed when he heard this, but after speaking, he stretched out his hand and drew a circle and said, "But Meng De, you seem to have ignored, even if the enemy has an army of 120,000, how many enemies do we need to face?" ”

"No matter how many people there are, if they want to engage our army, they have to get close, but in my opinion, I am afraid that from the time our army launches an attack to the time the enemy is defeated, there will be no more than 50,000 enemies passing by our army!" Li Yi said with a chuckle.

In a word, Cao Cao froze again, "I see!" I see! Cao Cao kept muttering to himself, his tone quite excited. After a long while, Cao Cao thanked Li Yi and said, "Thank you Zikang for reminding me, otherwise I'm afraid I will be confused by the number of enemy troops." ”

Yes, a very simple thing, no matter how many enemy troops there are, the number of enemies you can face at one time is still limited after all. It's just that this problem has been ignored by Cao Cao all along. Because he only saw the number of enemy troops, but did not think of the equipment of the enemy army.

Speaking of which, if Li Yi faced the officers and soldiers in this way, then he might really be asking for his own death. But if it's the Yellow Turbans, it's a completely different story. First of all, the most obvious is the aforementioned long-range attack. There are not many people in the Yellow Turban Army who are good at bows and arrows, which makes it so that even if they surround Li Yibu, all they can do is rely on the soldiers in the front row to attack. On the contrary, if it is an officer and soldier, it may not be long before Li Yi's 6,000 cavalry will become a sieve under the random arrows.

It can be said that in any regular army, the advantages that Li Yi just mentioned are really just some advantages. But if it is this Yellow Turban Army, then these advantages may become one of the reasons for victory.

How long can an army with poor equipment, lack of training, mixed composition, and extreme exhaustion, even if it has 120,000 men, withstand the onslaught of Li Yi's cavalry? Cao Cao guessed with his toes, and he could also guess a rough idea.

"Very good, pass my order, convey what I just said to everyone, if anyone is timid, then just let him get out!" Li Yi saw everyone's admiring eyes and said in a serious tone.

Although there are so many advantages, it is still a matter of fighting for life with 6,000 people to rush to the army of 120,000. After all, before the enemy really collapsed, what filled their hearts was still the hatred that wanted to peel off their skins and bones. Li Yi didn't know how much strength this hatred would make their tired bodies burst out, but it was clear that this time would be a very dangerous time.

The so-called generals will inevitably die in battle, even if Li Yi is brave and invincible, and Lu Bu and others around him are all top fierce generals in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, but Li Yi does not dare to be careless in the face of this situation.

Soon, there were bursts of exclamations around him, which were obviously the knee-jerk reactions of the soldiers after hearing Li Yi's thoughts. However, in this regard, Li Yi just quietly looked at the Yellow River in front of him, waiting for everyone's decision. To be honest, if they leave timidly, Li Yi will not blame them, after all, Li Yi's choice itself is very unacceptable.

Yes, if it was just harassment, it would definitely not be able to stop Bu Jibei from retreating to Jizhou, and he would not be able to wait for Huangfu Song's reinforcements. But! Even so, what can be done? Li Yi dragged Bu Ji in Yanzhou for so long with 6,000 cavalry, and no matter whether it was the court or anyone in the world, he couldn't find any fault. As a result, Jizhou has become difficult to quell the rebellion? What does it have to do with Li Yi? He's not even the commander of the Yellow Turbans!

But Li Yi did this, not only because he was worried that after Bu Ji entered Jizhou, it would have an impact on the pacification of the Yellow Turban and even the general trend of the world behind, not only because he was worried about the impact on his reputation due to the failure of this defeat to stop the enemy, but most importantly, because Li Yi was confident! Maybe it's really because of the fact that he hasn't been defeated along the way, which caused Li Yi to swell? But he is confident that he will definitely be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in this battle, even if the ratio of troops between the two sides is 6,000 to 120,000!
