Chapter 283: The Great Army Separated

To get back to the point, when he heard that Luo Tianyuan actually thought that if he wanted to eliminate less than half of Li Zhen's remnants of the young army, Zhenla would need to pay at least more than 100,000 sacrifices, and some people were suddenly unhappy.

A man with five big and three rough men stood up at that time and said disdainfully: "Hmph, you Tang people are cowardly, more than 10,000 remnants of the army were defeated, and we actually have to sacrifice 100,000 people?" Luo Tianyuan, you can't help but think too highly of that Li Zhen, right? King, you give me 50,000 troops, if you can't get rid of Li Zhen, I'd rather come to see you. ”

Bafa Valman frowned and shook his head: "Senseless sacrifices can be avoided or avoided as much as possible, Li Zhen is not easy to mess with, he can fight with our people in the advantage of street fighting, and the combat effectiveness of the Young Army should not be underestimated." Anyway, now that Li Zhen has no way out, we can kill him even if we slowly push him over, not to mention that we still have a killer weapon that is useless. ”

"The king is wise." Seeing this, Luo Tianyuan smiled and said: "Actually, we also mean this, according to our intelligence, although the young army was cut off by us, it was not depressed because of this, but everyone broke out with a will to die, and the fighting spirit greatly increased." There is an allusion in our Central Plains, called Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat, Putting It to Death and Resurrection, I think the king should know. ”

Bafa Valman took over: "Of course I know this, the name of this battle is called the Battle of the Great Deer, right?" It is said that Xiang Yu fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Qin army that year, and after crossing the Zhanghe River, he burned the wooden bridge when he came, scuttled the boat that crossed the river, smashed the pot for eating, and completely cut off his retreat. After knowing that they had no way to retreat, they would either live or die, and finally burst out with a fighting spirit that soared into the sky, charging nine times in a row, and finally crushing the Qin army, defeating the 400,000 Qin army with tens of thousands of people, and completing the most classic battle of winning more with less. ”

"The king is really erudite, and the students admire him." Luo Tianyuan first praised Bafa Valman, and then said: "Since the king knows about this battle, think about it carefully, how similar is the current environment to the battle of Julu back then?" The only difference is that Xiang Yu deliberately cut off his retreat at that time, but now we are forcing Li Zhen into a desperate situation. However, no matter what the process is, after this situation, the will of the young army to fight will definitely explode, and they are definitely not easy to mess with at this time.

In such a situation, the best way to do this is to wait for the work and take it slowly. The Boys' Army has less than 15,000 remnants, and although the fighting spirit is now soaring, the fighting spirit will weaken with the passage of time, and if we can only surround and not fight, and besiege the Boys' Army for ten days and half a month, even if we do not take the initiative to attack, the Boys' Army itself will collapse without attacking.

Of course, we knew that the king would definitely not be able to wait that long, and it would take a short time to defeat Li Zhen.

At this time, it is necessary to win the battle in a decisive battle, and the elephant cavalry is the best pioneer, and we don't even need to make a move, as long as the elephant cavalry rushes back and forth a few more times, the young army will be defeated by itself. ”

Bafa Valman said with a look of admiration: "Sometimes I really envy you Datang, thousands of years of civilization inheritance, almost anything that has happened can find similar examples in history, so as to learn from experience, unlike us, everything has to be groped forward by itself, whether it is right or wrong and other verification can be known." ”

"The king is too modest, we are just relying on the afterglow of our predecessors, not like the king, you are the first to conquer such a large area of the country with nothing, you are much more powerful than us." Luo Tianyuan can be the liaison person who contacts Zhenla and the anti-Li Zhen alliance, naturally he is not the kind of nerd who only reads dead books, he is quite tactful, and at this time, he naturally praised Bafa Valman, slapped his ass, and laughed at Bafa Valman.

"Your Majesty, it's time to separate our people, right? Anyway, Li Zhen has been forced into a dead end, and at this time, even if it is no longer meaningful to hide the elephant cavalry. The one who spoke was the first Han dressed scribe in the lower left of Bafa Valman, and his demeanor was not below Luo Tianyuan, but just by looking at the position where he was sitting, he knew that his status in Bafa Valman's heart was much higher than that of Luo Tianyuan.

Although this person is dressed as a Han person, he is a mixed race of Han and Zhenla, and there is also a Han name called Zhu Yunrang, his mother is Han, and his father is a real Zhenla person. Zhu Yunrang grew up in the Central Plains since he was a child, he is quick and studious, and his ability is not much worse than those squires in the court.

However, when his father was seriously ill and returned to his roots, he followed his father back to Zhenla, and quickly revealed his talents, and was valued by Bafa Valman, becoming the first strategist under his command, and helping him complete the hegemony of annexing Funan, and becoming a peerless wise man in Zhenla's mind.

"What the advisor said is reasonable, let's start dividing our troops," Bafa Valman agreed.

No matter if Li Zhen wanted to break his head, he would never have imagined that the main purpose of Bafa Valman's mixing of 400,000 troops was not to play tricks at all, but his real purpose was actually to hide the existence of 6,000 elephant cavalry (Confucianism sent 5,000, and Zhenla itself also had 1,000).

The 400,000-strong army, mixed with new recruits and veterans, looks terrifying, but in fact it is the way to die. As a general who fought on the battlefield, Bafa Valman naturally understood this truth, and he would not do it in normal times, but for the sake of his elephant cavalry, he had to do it.

Although the elephant cavalry is very powerful, its status is basically equivalent to that of the armored cluster in later generations, but the great power also means a huge goal, if in the later generations, the infantry of an army meets an armored division, how will it react? Of course, it's just a girl who pulls out her legs and runs, unless her brain is convulsive, she will collide with human flesh and steel.

Bafa Valman was also afraid that Li Zhen would know the news of the elephant cavalry in advance, so he deliberately concentrated the 400,000 army, just to confuse Li Zhen's eyes and hide the existence of the elephant cavalry.

But now there is no need to hide, just like Zhu Yunrang said, Li Zhen has been forced into a desperate situation, there is a strong enemy in front of him and there is no way to retreat, they have no way to retreat, and there is no need for the elephant cavalry to hide.

However, 400,000 is too many after all, so many large armies are mixed together, and it is not possible to disperse if you want to, it will take at least two or three days to do it, and you must be careful when separating, the slightest carelessness will cause great chaos. And we have to prevent the Tang army from coming over to make trouble, otherwise the separation will not be successful, and maybe it will cause a big mess - and if that happens, then Zhenla's losses will be heavy.
