……………
Cao Wuxian opened his mouth, was slightly stunned, and nodded subconsciously.
In fact, he felt that the general's explanation was still a little insufficient, and even if the Vermilion Bird Legion was fooled, there was no need to make such an obvious mistake to tell them, right?
But if you think about it carefully, the time of the Vermilion Bird Legion is indeed running out, and it has become a fact that the six countries will attack Cang, and in the next year or even a few years, Cangguo will face tremendous pressure, if you want to win or let the countries retreat, there is only one way, that is, to gain an advantage in a certain battlefield first, or even a big victory, and then you can take advantage of this advantage to relieve the pressure of Cangguo and transfer troops to support other battlefields.
This truth is completely reasonable.
Otherwise, it really can't be explained why the vanguard camp was suddenly attacked, it is reasonable, no matter what other possibility, the Vermilion Bird Legion cannot be so brainless.
Subsequently, Meng Huo and Cao Wuxian called some more generals and discussed with each other for a long time, and in the evening, they dispersed.
That night, Cao Wuxian, who kept a clear head, lay on the bed, resting his head on his hands, thinking carefully about this question.
In fact, in addition to Meng Huo's speculation, he also thought of a possibility, that is, the Vermilion Bird Legion may have deliberately let his soldiers attack the camp during the day, in this way to convince them that the Vermilion Bird Legion had begun to get agitated.
In Cao's opinion, this is very possible.
After all, his side has begun to be anxious, and Meng Huo, as a general, is full of expectations that the Vermilion Bird Legion will be fooled, even if it is suspected, it will still maintain a sense of freshness.
It's just that what is the benefit of doing this to Cangguo?
Cao Wushu tossed and turned on the bed, and in the end he couldn't think of a result, so in the end he could only choose to believe in Meng Huo's judgment, step up the layout, and lure the Vermilion Bird Legion to be fooled, so as to annihilate it.
At the same time, Gu Fengnan, the main general in charge of the sneak attack, with a few personal guards, was resuming his life in the commander's tent of the army.
After listening to the report, Han Tong knocked on the table and asked, "How is the enemy's reaction?" ”
"According to what the last general saw, the enemy is still more cautious, a few days of observation found that their patrol force at night is about the same, our army has not touched a mile, it was discovered, fortunately our purpose is not really a sneak attack, so we stopped the attack in time, just set a fire, shot some arrows, and hurriedly withdrew."
"There are no casualties, right?"
"Hmm...... A few of the soldiers were hit by the enemy's arrows, but fortunately, the distance was very long, and the injuries were not serious, and none of them were killed. ”
"Do they have a massive pursuit, or is it an anomaly or something?"
"Not really." Gu Fengnan shook his head and said: "The enemy army is a little in a hurry, if we attack with all our strength today, the enemy's vanguard camp can also be burned, after our army retreated, the enemy army focused on fighting the fire and did not pursue it." ”
Han Tong nodded and analyzed: "It seems that the enemy army has not thought about attacking at all, and they don't think much about small-scale battles, they are waiting for us to attack." ”
"In that case, let's do it."
Han Tong took out the map, sketched it for a while, and then threw it to Gu Fengnan, and advised: "Arrange the soldiers and horses according to this one, and then order someone to explore the terrain within a radius of ten miles. ”
"Yes!"
Gu Fengnan retreated in response, of course he knew what the Generalissimo had asked him to explore the terrain for, it was nothing more than to face the heavy cavalry of the Yun Kingdom and make arrangements.
To put it simply, it is necessary to choose a place for a big battle according to the psychology of both sides.
Because, there were 50,000 heavy cavalry hiding on the side of Yun Guo, and they thought that the Vermilion Bird Legion did not know, so they deliberately released a signal to lure, but they did not expect that the Vermilion Bird Legion had long known about the existence of this heavy cavalry, and had already deviated the thinking of the Yun Kingdom army, so that the generals of Yun Country mistakenly thought that the Vermilion Bird Legion had been fooled and was about to start a decisive battle during this time.
Both sides had the will to start a big war, but it was clear that the Yun army had misjudged the situation.
Because of this, although Cao Wuxian felt that the Suzaku Army's sneak attack was a bit strange, he couldn't guess it at all.
Indeed, after waiting for two days, Meng Huo and the other generals of Yunguo were very anxious.
It's not that they're in a hurry to fight, it's because of the weather.
On the one hand, it's already summer, and the heavy cavalry will be greatly affected.
The weather was hot, and the heavy cavalry wore thick armor, as if they were in a steamer, and if they were scorched by the sun, it would not take half an hour, and the soldiers inside would faint and lose their combat effectiveness even if they did not suffer from heat stroke.
Not to mention people, the war horses will not be able to bear it, so once the sun comes out, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be greatly reduced.
On the other hand, there are too many rainstorms in summer, and the road will be very muddy, for the heavy cavalry, whether it is charging or marching is a big trouble, if you fall into the mud, then the consequences are more serious than the sun, after falling into the muddy and soft ground, don't think about pulling it out again.
Meng Huo didn't want the 50,000 heavy cavalry to be pinned on great hopes at that time, and they would become decorations, pinning the fate and future of the entire country on this unreliable weather.
Moreover, the civil strife in Yunguo has just calmed down, and the logistics are still very fragile, among the 50,000 heavy cavalry, the main war horses and auxiliary horses combined, there are nearly 100,000 war horses, plus hundreds of thousands of people to eat, which is a big burden for Yunguo.
If it drags on any longer, the weather will cause the 50,000 heavy cavalry to be unable to enter the battlefield, and without the help of these 50,000 heavy cavalry, who dares to guarantee that they will be able to defeat the famous Cangguo Suzaku Legion?
"It seems that we have to take the initiative, as long as the Suzaku Legion does not retreat and divide our troops, we will win more than half of this war." When Meng Huo was deliberating, he said in a deep voice, "This is our best chance to defeat the Vermilion Bird Legion, everyone must grasp it, after defeating this army, my Yun Kingdom can be regarded as a big country in the world, and further annex the old land of Chu State, and compete with Ruan State." ”
"Why don't you write another letter to Han Tong?"
"Write another one? Not...... Fortunately, it is equivalent to an appointment to fight, and when the time is right, the heavy cavalry will be released, and the Suzaku Legion will be defeated in one fell swoop, so that they will not be able to attack the Cloud Country again. ”
On the same day, Meng Huo and the generals under his command unified their opinions, carefully considered the words and tone, wrote a battle letter about the battle, and sent people to the camp of the Vermilion Bird Legion.
About two hours later, Han Tong received a war letter from Meng Huo, the general of the Yun Kingdom.
