Chapter 136: Hidden Calculations, Frightened Steps
What was Liu Xuewu doing during this time? In fact, it's nothing, it's just a bureau set up for Sima Yi and others. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and this bureau, false and false, false and true. It turned out that when Liu Xuewu went on the expedition, he did not only bring 30,000 cavalry, but the follow-up troops also had 8,000 foot soldiers, which was originally used by Liu Xuewu to transport grain and grass, and it was inconvenient for the cavalry to carry a large amount of grain and grass. And the so-called cavalry disappeared without a trace, in fact, Liu Xuewu ordered his eldest son Liu Yangxian to lead the cavalry to advance and occupy Drum Mountain. As for the lack of movement, it was not discovered by Sima Yi in advance, it was Liu Xuewu wrapping a layer of cotton on the hooves of each horse. When the cotton gets wet, the sound of horses running across the river is muffled. And the timing was just right, which was done in the few hours that Sima Yi waited until dawn.
The cavalry was extremely mobile, and it was an early departure, so Sima Yi did not find any clues. As for the squad scouts that were filmed, Liu Xuewu personally led the team, using these 8,000 foot soldiers to make traps, killing or capturing prisoners one by one. Even Liu Xuewu didn't expect that the effect of this psychological warfare would be surprisingly good, there is no way, who makes Sima Yi suspicious, it's like Zhuge Liang's empty city plan in another time and space scares him, and even after Zhuge Liang dies, he can borrow the wooden man trick to scare Sima Yi away. This fully illustrates Sima Yi's personal character and actions.
This bold plan was formulated by Liu Xuewu for Sima Yi's character, of course, this is also a gamble of luck, if this Sima Yi is not like another time and space, or those wild histories are fake, it is estimated that he Liu Xuewu will suffer a big loss this time. However, Liu Xuewu still has one person to thank, that is, Wang Lang, that is, he inadvertently helped Liu Xuewu a favor. Guide Sima Yi to Drum Mountain, you must know that Drum Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Jiang Ziya set up a war drum array here when the ancient martial king was defeating, which boosted morale and broke the 100,000 army of Wen Taishi. Therefore, it is called Drum Mountain. The terrain here is extremely dangerous, although it is not as good as the Tiger Prison Xiongguan, but it is the only way to enter the range of Chenliu County within a radius of 100 miles. The closest way to Chen Liu's current situation is to take the official road at the foot of the Drum Mountain, otherwise he will have to return to the Tiger Prison and make a detour to the south. But this is not in Liu Xuewu's interests.
Liu Xuewu knew that in order to enter Chenliu, he had to pass through here, and in addition to passing through here, he had to destroy Sima Yi's army. Finally occupied, Liu Xuewu was more willing to be loyal to killing the enemy. This is also Liu Xuewu's use of modern thinking to look at these things, marching and winning battles is a common thing for soldiers, and they don't want and won't care about the gains and losses of a city at all. However, Sima Yi and others were confused by Liu Xuewu's approach, first encountering the vanguard but not attacking, and then avoiding a head-on conflict with Sima Yi and others. All this faintly hinted at the illusion that Liu Xuewu was not here, making them think that Liu Xuewu wanted to take Chen Liu's mind first. And the layout of all this is one ring after another, which makes people have to go into the wrong place.
One of the most important points is that Liu Xuewu believes that Sima Yi will definitely sum up the experience from the last war. And the most thrilling thing in the last war was that Liu Xuewu deceived Sima Yi's main force, and then went around to attack the Tiger Prison Pass.
This is tantamount to making Sima Yi misunderstand that he and the others will take the cavalry to attack Chen Liu, and now Sima Yi and the others just thought so. was completely led by Liu Xuewu, because this way of seizing the enemy and occupying the city was what Zhuge Liang liked to use, but it was not his Liu Xuewu's personal style. What he wants is for the city to occupy and destroy people, and there is no need to worry about the future. In Liu Xuewu's opinion, is Zhuge Liang powerful? It's very powerful, or else he wouldn't be called Zhuge Shenshu in history. But in a powerful person, he is also a human being. He has his thinking limitations, his knowledge mistakes. At the time, judging from the perspective of his time, he was right. But in the eyes of Liu Xuewu, who traveled from later generations, it was not the case at all.
Liu Xuewu has always believed that cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows vigorously. Liu Xuewu is not only like this to foreigners, but he is also true to all his enemies. Because of this, he has been able to stabilize the north for decades.
Just when Sima Yi and the others led the army to feel the beating drum mountain, they finally found some abnormal situations, and the grass on the ground had traces of being crushed by heavy objects. Seeing that these traces were traced to the official road and disappeared, everyone looked at all this and affirmed their judgment even more.
"Brother Zhongda, you watched Liu Xuewu's cavalry unknowingly pass through our rear defense line. According to the calculation of time, they are attacking Chen Liu at this moment. Wang Lang had to say anxiously.
"Don't worry, Chen Liu, I have already asked my eldest son Sima Shi to lead 8,000 men and horses to cooperate with the 3,000 guards to stay behind. Presumably it's too late to rush back now. Sima Yi's words eased the tense atmosphere of the audience a lot.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry back to guard against Chen Liu." Wang Lang saw that everyone was still stunned, and immediately shouted.
Sima Yi didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, that was his eldest son. Now Chen Liu only has 10,000 foot soldiers, and if he wants to hold these 30,000 cavalry, even Sima Yi's own heart is drumming.
But just as their brigade was about to pass through the Drum Mountain, there was a loud thunder on the mountain, and everyone looked up with the sound.
Huge stones rolled down from the top of the mountain and were smashing towards the marching ranks of Sima Yi and the others.
"It's not good, get out of the way." A general-like person was quite calm, and hurriedly called the frightened soldiers to disperse. It's okay if you don't shout, but it's all messed up when you shout. People are crowded and trampled on countless people.
"Oops." Several soldiers who were running slowly were hit by boulders on the spot, some screamed and died here, and some directly hit the head, and the whole head shattered and exploded. This scene was extremely bloody and tragic, but before he had time to think about it, the stones on the mountain seemed to be rolling down from afar, smashing Sima Yi's army into three sections at once. At this time, the 30,000 cavalry who were ambushed on the drum mountain rushed down the slope, and Sima Yi's soldiers were at a loss at all, either they were cut off by the saber in panic, or they threw away their blades and surrendered. But when Sima Yi and the others were desperate, they killed all the way from the direction of Chen Liu. From the preparation of armor and banners, they are not like Cao Jun or Liu Jun, but they rushed over. The generals led shouted while rushing to kill: "Yuzhou Yuan Yao is here, don't be afraid, brothers of Cao Jun, we are here to save you." “
The unexpected life-saving straw, under the desperate fight of the three parties, Sima Yi and Yuan Yao combined were outnumbered, and gradually moved back to the situation. Liu Yang saw that he would continue to fight and not allow his side to suffer a big loss, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and evacuate temporarily.
Sima Yi and the others looked at Cao Jun on their side, and they regrouped in twos and threes, all of them injured. I couldn't help but sigh, and I had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe. (To be continued.) )
