Han Yi was silent for a long time, lowered his head, hugged his fists and said: "Only in this way can I delay for a while as much as possible, except for this, I really can't think of any other suitable way." ”

Hearing Han Yi's slightly hoarse voice, Liu He knew that he must be the same as himself, staying up all night and weighing the pros and cons repeatedly before finally making such a decision.

Liu He let out a long sigh, and his expression eased a lot, "I know your good intentions, but you don't have to, you have to put yourself in danger every time, you are the commander of my Tianji Battalion, in case you make a mistake, even if I am here, I may not be able to maintain the situation in the future." ”

Han Yi slowly raised his head, but he stopped talking and nodded vigorously.

Liu He turned his head to look at Zhong Lixun again, "You two are literate and martial, you are my right-hand man, and the person I rely on the most, I don't want to lose any of you." So I have an idea, although in your eyes, it may not be very popular, but I still hope that you will listen to it and see if it is feasible. ”

Zhong Lixun also had the same touched look as Han Yi, and hugged his fists and said, "We understand the leader's thoughts." ”

Liu He smiled faintly, "I don't understand, let's wait until I hear my thoughts, and then make up my mind." ”

Liu He's idea is actually very simple.

Now all the troops are combined, there are 1,000 people in Chengdu Wei and 2,000 people in Ma Chao's personal barracks, a total of 3,000 people.

The three thousand men were mixed together and reorganized into three groups of one thousand each.

When guarding the mouth of the valley, each group of pro-military battalions was responsible for blocking the Cao army that rushed into the canyon with arrows, and when the Cao army attacked fiercely, the Chengdu guard dispatched and rode to kill the Cao army that rushed out of the valley.

Three groups of people guarded in shifts, and if the Cao army attacked in a big way, they would change every two hours, and if the Cao army temporarily died down, they would change every four hours.

Among the three groups of men, the current guard is responsible for guarding the valley mouth, and the other group is waiting for work, standing in place, and if the situation is tight, they can also come forward to support.

The rest of the group, that is, the men and horses who had just completed the last round of guarding work, after withdrawing from the front line, seized the time to rest and recuperate their spirits in order to meet the next round of the big battle.

After Han Yi and Zhong Lixun heard this plan, they hurriedly walked to Liu He's side and looked in the direction of Taniguchi.

The valley was narrow, allowing only ten men and ten horses to walk side by side, and if the valley pass was held, the enemy's superiority in strength would be lost.

The strategy of rotating three shifts has alleviated the pressure of insufficient reserve troops and difficult soldiers to carry out a protracted war.

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison, obviously both of them thought this method was feasible.

"It's just ......" Zhong Lixun suddenly frowned again, "Even if we rotate three shifts like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long, the grain and grass we brought are only enough to support three days, and after three days, if the army of Zhuge Military Division doesn't come again, we will be trapped in this valley." ”

Han Yi's face was straight when he heard this, and he seemed to have the same worries.

Liu He found a big stone and sat down, his expression was much more relaxed than before, looking at the solemn expressions of the two, he couldn't help laughing: "Two people who are very smart on weekdays, why did they get confused at the critical moment?" Look at the valley mouth, so narrow, I think it won't take a day, the valley mouth will be full of Cao Jun's corpses, which is equivalent to helping us build a strong barrier, and then the Cao army will definitely temporarily retreat and reorganize the troops and horses in order to fight again. We seized the opportunity, took the opportunity to clean up the battlefield, and pulled all the horses that died in the battle back, they Cao Jun drank porridge, but we had meat to eat, and we were worried that we would not be able to support the reinforcements? ”

The two of them were brightened when they heard this, and their faces were happy.

Han Yi said respectfully: "This trick of the leader is really wonderful, Han Yi can be regarded as a leader today." ”

Liu He waved his hand, seemingly modest, but his face was already smiling.

Zhong Lixun's expression suddenly straightened, and he gave a deep salute, "Boss, now I really understand what you mean." ”

Liu He's face was full of pride, he squinted at Zhong Lixun, and said with a smile: "Then tell me, what do you understand?" ”

"Only by living and dying together can there be a glimmer of life." With that, Zhongli Xun turned around and strode away.

Looking at Zhong Lixun's back, Liu He smiled and said to Han Yi beside him: "You said that the people who came out of Moling are different, I pondered for a long time, and I didn't come up with a statement that was both elegant and heroic, but I didn't expect that people would have one mouth, and these two things would be accounted for." ”

Han Yi smiled with relief, hugged his fists and said, "Without further ado, I will send someone to inform General Ma and arrange the grouping." ”

"Go," Liu He waved his hand at him with a smile, but his face sank again, "Remember to tell Ma Chao, don't act rashly until you have to, his pro-military camp is only responsible for blocking Cao Jun with a bow and crossbow, and everything else will be handed over to Chengdu Wei." ”

Han Yi pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "What kind of situation is it a last resort? ”

Liu He's face was gloomy, and after being silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Chengdu Wei, the whole army is dead." ”

Han Yi, whose expression was surprisingly calm, clenched his fists and said loudly: "Subordinates take orders!" ”

When Han Yi walked away, Liu He suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly and read softly.

"After all, I'm still a scholar, I haven't seen the real battlefield, how do I know that there has always been only death together, but where did I come from living together."

Facts have proved that the tragedy of this battle is indeed far beyond Zhong Lixun's original expectations.

Two hours later, the Cao army's tidal offensive finally slowly retreated, and after only one confrontation, Cao's army left thousands of corpses on the battlefield.

However, the losses on Liu He's side were not small, representing Liu Beijun's highest combat strength, the Chengdu Guard, known as the undamaged team in a hundred battles, was killed for the first time, and dozens of people were killed and wounded at once.

Although these dozens of people are all new recruits who were newly incorporated into Chengdu Wei after arriving in Yizhou, the strength of these people is also the best in their respective armies.

Hearing that there were casualties in Chengdu Wei, the other two groups of people who were waiting for work in the rear were a little uneasy, and Liu He could clearly feel the signs of the army's heart being shaken.

At this time, what he is most afraid of is a morale setback, as the supreme commander at this time, Liu He must come forward and stabilize the situation in time.

He wanted to go to the front line to boost the morale of the soldiers, but things were not as simple as he imagined.

After seeing the tragic situation of the first group of men and horses withdrawn from the front, the other soldiers became visibly cramped and uneasy.

The situation of Chengdu Wei is good, but he is a little sad to see Pao Ze die on the battlefield, and Ma Chao's pro-military camp can already be described as hesitant.

"This time, I'm going to go into battle myself." In front of everyone, Liu He suddenly made an astonishing decision.
