Chapter 131: The Big Pocket

Han Yi smiled bitterly, "What Mr. said is true, and Han Yi is very convinced. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€œ

"Oh?" Liu He seemed to hear something strange, "You have something in your words." ā€

"Don't hide it from Mr., not to mention whether the troops and people behind can keep up, according to Mr.'s current speed, even if it is twice as fast, he will be caught up by Cao Jun before leaving the Dangyang Realm. I just proposed to ambush troops here, but in fact, it was also a helpless move. In the remaining distance from where we are now to Jiangxia, there is no place suitable for an ambush. If we can't slow down the pursuit of Cao's army here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to have another chance to escape. ā€

"You're saying that no matter what, the battle of Dangyang is unavoidable?" Liu He unconsciously grabbed the reins of the horse in his hand.

Han Yi nodded, but paused for another moment, "It's not so much that there is no way to avoid it, but that Cao Cao deliberately arranged it." Along the way, there were actually many places conducive to Cao's attack, but their main force never moved. I tried to figure out Cao Cao's motives, but I couldn't figure it out, and it wasn't until I arrived at the place of Dangyang that I suddenly realized. We went all the way south, and when we got here, we had to divert to the east. With hundreds of thousands of people with us, we could only take the main road, while Cao Cao's troops could kill from the small road to the southeast in advance. ā€

Liu He was taken aback, Cao Cao wanted to surround Liu Beijun in Dangyang, and then annihilate them all here.

Cao Cao's practice of sending troops to run long distances and make a detour to the front of Liu Beijun, Liu He had already learned it, but last time because of Han Yi's presence, and the number of troops in that raid was too small, it was difficult to become a climate, so Liu He escaped a catastrophe.

But this time it was very different, if Cao Jun appeared in front of him again, it must be Cao Cao's main force, and at that time, it would be impossible for Han Yi to compete with it alone.

"Dangyang's place is like a big pocket, Cao Cao is waiting for us to drill into it ourselves, and after all the main forces of our army have entered, he will tighten the mouth of this bag."

Han Yi's analogy is easy to understand, but compared to these, Liu He wants to know how to deal with it.

And then the answer given by Han Yi seemed to be the only way, but it put Liu He in a dilemma again.

The Cao army that is about to appear in front of it, if nothing else, will be its main force, and the number will be in the tens of thousands.

In the face of such a huge army, Liu Beijun, who only had a few thousand people, was absolutely unable to resist, but those hundreds of thousands of people were the key to stopping the main force of Cao's army.

From Xinye to Dangyang, Cao Cao's behavior has already shown his attitude, that is, he will never attack these people.

Therefore, Han Yi's suggestion was to take advantage of Cao Cao's scruples to concentrate all the horses in the rear of the people's ranks, and set up an ambush to block the rest of Cao's army, which had been pursuing behind him.

In this way, the Cao army in front was stopped by the people, and it was impossible to pose a threat to Liu Beijun for a while. And the Cao army behind him was not as powerful as their main army, and secondly, they must not have imagined that Liu Beijun would turn his horse and take the initiative to attack at this time.

This plan looks perfect, but when you think about it, it is not so easy to implement.

First of all, facing the Cao army in the rear, not only did he have to take him by surprise, but he also needed to give the other party a fatal blow in order to prevent the other party from continuing to pursue.

Moreover, even if he succeeded in repelling the pursuers behind him, he would eventually turn his head to face the main force of Cao's army in front.

At that time, the main force of the Cao army was already on the road to Jiangxia, and there was no way to maneuver around, it could only be a hard-fought battle.

To put it simply, this plan requires Liu Beijun to win if he does not fight, and if he fights, he will win.

But in the face of Cao Jun's tens of thousands of main forces, it is not easy to win.

Liu He is no longer worried about the people now, after all, Cao Cao is bound not to make a move against the people out of the consideration of buying people's hearts.

What he was most worried about was whether the current exhausted Liu Bei's army would be able to defeat Cao Cao's army twice as Han Yi had envisioned.

"Sir, are you wondering what our chances are?" Han Yi asked straight to the point.

Liu He nodded, "I listened to what you said just now, I am more confident in defeating the pursuers in the rear, but even if I win, if I don't do any rest and rectification, I will turn around and face the main force of the Cao army again, I am afraid of ......."

"Contrary to what my husband thought, blocking the pursuers behind me is the most difficult battle to fight." Han Yi said calmly.

Liu He frowned puzzled, "Didn't you just say that the combat power of the chasing soldiers behind you is far inferior to the main force of the Cao army that is outflanking in front?" How can this be said to be the hardest battle? ā€

Han Yi explained: "Victory or defeat on the battlefield is often determined by the momentum of both sides. If we defeat the pursuers, the main force of the Cao army in front will inevitably be shaken when they hear this news, and their combat power will also drop significantly, which is the so-called defeat. An army that has already lost ground, even if it is superior in numbers, will not be able to achieve victory. And vice versa, although we are far less powerful than Cao's army, we can still defeat them as long as we have the momentum. And we turned our heads to attack, just to grab this momentum by surprise. In the current situation, Cao's army is far greater than ours, so this first encounter is the key to the whole battle. ā€

"How sure are you?" Liu He asked suddenly.

Han Yi didn't hesitate at all, "Fifty percent." ā€

It seems that Han Yi has already considered this matter and will blurt it out, but this answer still can't reassure Liu He.

"Fifty percent? So little? Liu He was blunt.

"Fifty percent less?" Han Yi smiled playfully, "I remember someone once said that fifty percent is enough. ā€

Liu He was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly, "When I get to Jiangxia, the first thing I will do is to rectify the atmosphere of our camp that likes to talk a lot." ā€

Han Yi clenched his fists, his eyes were extremely firm, "Okay, then let's see you in Jiangxia." ā€

Although Liu Beijun only has a few thousand people, it is not easy to pass through hundreds of thousands of people.

At that time, the road was not like now, and even the so-called official road was just a wider dirt road. On both sides of the dirt road, there are potholes and muddy places, not to mention mobilizing the army, even if you accidentally step into it, you will fall into it.

Fortunately, the people did not feel panicked because of Liu Beijun's sudden transfer, but spontaneously made way for Liu Beijun. Although the road is narrow enough to accommodate two horses side by side, this orderly way is still much faster than expected.
