Jixian County is only more than 100 miles away from Tianjin County and Beiping County, just one day, Liu Chen and his 60,000 troops have arrived near the border line, the situation in Beiping County is unknown, it is late, for the sake of prudence, Liu Chen ordered to camp at the border, a day's march, the soldiers are also a little tired, now they can rest, it is also good news for them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Chen, Han Shizhong, Yang Rong, Situ Jiannan, and Xiahou Ying were discussing tomorrow's march route in front of a wall chart.

"Master Hou, this place is only more than one hundred and fifty miles away from Pinggu City, the news is that the enemy's 100,000 troops are stationed outside Pinggu City, if we use our speed, I am afraid that we will meet the enemy army tomorrow night!" Han Shizhong pointed to the map and said to Liu Chen.

Hearing this, Liu Chen said: "What is the topography of Pinggu? ”

"Master Hou, in fact, the terrain of the entire Hebei Province is relatively flat, and there are no mountains or canyons, and the same is true near Pinggu City, which is an endless flat land, which is very suitable for cavalry combat!" It was Yang Rong who answered Liu Chen!

After a little muttering, Liu Chen opened his mouth and said: "Cavalry combat is the shortcoming of our army, for now, it is not suitable for us, we have to think of a way, so that the enemy's cavalry can not be deployed, otherwise, this battle will be very hard, even if it is a victory, it is estimated that it will be a miserable victory!" ”

Although Liu Chen now has 6,000 cavalry under his command, it is too much worse than the cavalry of Jin and Liao, and in terms of combat effectiveness, although Liu Chen does not want to admit it, the fact is that the cavalry of Jin and Liao is several times stronger than the cavalry of the empire.

In such a situation, it would be an absolute nightmare to face each other head-on in the field and encounter the opponent's cavalry charge, so they had to come up with a way, otherwise they would probably lose this battle!

Listening to Liu Chen's words, everyone fell into deep thought, this is indeed a problem, and it is a problem that must be solved in a short time, because tomorrow it is possible to engage the enemy army, if you don't plan carefully and fight an unprepared battle, it will definitely be killing yourself.

But they thought about it for a long time, but there was no result, there were no mountains, no canyons, no terrain could stop the enemy's cavalry from attacking, relying solely on the infantry to resist the opponent's cavalry with flesh and blood, then they didn't know how many lives to fill, and whether they could resist it had to be another matter, whether it was Jin or Liao, they were all countries on horseback, and all soldiers were cavalry when they got on horseback, so what they would have to face was not as simple as thousands of cavalry, it was very likely that tens of thousands of iron cavalry!

"If only you could give us time and dig a few big holes, if there is no terrain, we will create terrain, but unfortunately, we don't have that much time, and the enemy won't give us so much time, if we don't get it right now, there will be enemy reprimands outside our camp!" Situ Jiannan said helplessly.

For Situ Jiannan's words, everyone shook their heads helplessly, as Situ Jiannan himself said, it is impossible for the enemy to stupidly watch them dig a pit, now it is only a hundred miles away from the enemy, and the battle may break out at any time, and they have no time to dig a pit.

As time slowly passed, Liu Chen and the others also kept thinking, they were eager to find a good way to balance the enemy's cavalry in the field.

Suddenly, there was a noisy noise outside the tent, and in the tent, the faces of Liu Chen and the others changed, especially Liu Chen, who frowned deeply, because he had already heard some soldiers outside shouting something, and it was clearly an enemy attack!

Before Liu Chen could speak, the curtain of the camp tent had been opened, and a soldier walked in with an urgent expression, bowed to everyone and said: "Master Hou, generals, the two large camps on our left and right have been attacked by cavalry respectively, and now the soldiers of the two large camps are fighting with the enemy!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chen already knew that there was an enemy attack, so his face was quite calm, but Han Shizhong and the others were different, when they learned that the enemy was attacking, their expressions changed, and they all looked at Liu Chen, only to hear Han Shizhong say: "Master Hou, there are 15,000 soldiers in the two camps on the left and right, so the last general and General Yang Rong will lead the cavalry to save it!" ”

When Liu Chen just wanted to nod in agreement, he suddenly seemed to hear something, and asked the soldiers who came in, "Do you know how many enemy troops are attacking the two military camps?" ”

The warrior replied, "It is dark in the night, and I don't know how many of them, but it should not be much, because the enemy cavalry has only advanced a distance and has been stopped by our troops, and now they are fighting fiercely. ”

Liu Chen nodded, waved his hand, motioned for the soldier to go down, and said: "Pass the order, the big battalions on the left and right sides will fight and retreat, and move closer to the Chinese army!" ”

"Subordinates take orders!" The warrior walked out decisively.

However, Han Shizhong, Yang Rong and other generals looked at each other one by one, and they didn't seem to understand why Liu Chen didn't immediately send troops to help the camps on both sides.

"Master Hou, aren't we going to do it?" Han Shizhong asked.

Shaking his head, Liu Chen said: "Don't do it, I suspect that the enemy army has other intentions!" ”

"Master Hou, do you mean that the enemy's target is not the two large camps on the left and right?" The generals here are not mediocre talents, but after thinking about it, they understand a little.

"Not bad!" Liu Chen replied, "You have just heard, the number of cavalry who came to attack our army is not large, and the soldiers of the large battalions on the left and right sides can completely resist it, if the enemy's actions are just a strategy to lure the enemy, then it is very likely that after our Chinese army sends out the cavalry, it will charge at our army and the Chinese army, because at this time, we don't have many cavalry to resist head-on!" ”

Liu Chen said this, everyone understood, the meaning is very simple, that is, worrying, in the dark night, there is still a huge enemy cavalry waiting silently, as long as the cavalry of the Chinese army leaves, to the left and right sides of the camp, then it is possible to launch a thunderous blow to the Chinese army's military camp, I have to say, this is a good move!

"My lord, what do we do now?" Xiahou Ying asked.

"Wait!" There was a gleam in Liu Chen's eyes, "You all go and prepare, let all the soldiers be ready for battle, we will wait and see what happens, and at the same time, send out a large number of Hou to search for a range of ten miles around, and if there is anything unusual, you can send a signal!" ”

"No!" Han Shizhong and others responded with their fists clenched.

Just when Liu Chen gave the order to respond to all changes, seven or eight miles away from the Chinese army camp, a large cavalry was standing quietly here, the mouths of the war horses were blocked with mud, and the hooves of the horses were wrapped in cloth, there were at least one or twenty thousand cavalry here, but now they were silent.

"The enemy army is not fooled, the Chinese army camp is heavily guarded, it seems that our plan has failed!" At the front of the army, there are two middle-aged people, Jin Ze, one of the Eight Banners of the Jin State, and Xiao Tianyou, the general of the Liao State!

Hearing Jin Ze's somewhat regretful words, Xiao Tianyou said: "I heard that the other party is leading the troops of the Donglong Empire's Zhenbei Hou, who has defeated the Dongying Empire's army many times, I originally thought it was a bit exaggerated, but when I saw it today, I have to admit that this Zhenbei Hou of the Donglong Empire really has some ability!" ”

Hearing this, Jin Ze smiled and said: "If you don't have the ability, you won't become the marquis of the Eastern Dragon Empire, let's go, there's no point in us being here anymore, retreat, let the warriors recuperate, and then defeat each other on the battlefield openly!" (To be continued.) )
