"As for Fu Jian's army, as soon as he retreated slightly, a few people shouted and were instantly defeated, which is quite unreasonable: if there is no Xie Xuan's Yuan Shen means in it, then the million army, lined up in a large area, wants the millions of troops to hear the shouting and then chaos, then their voices are basically higher than Zhang Fei of Dangyang Bridge. It's impossible to think about it! ”

"It's indeed an exaggeration to have an army of millions of people in an instant, but it's not impossible to gradually become chaotic, right?"

"Gradual chaos is possible. But the gradual chaos could not shake Fu Jian's main elite at all. It just so happens that let's deduce the whole process of Fu Jian's rout and see if it can be done if it is gradually defeated. ”

Hua Xue said and spread out the paper, roughly spent two parallel lines, which were considered the Yangtze River, one side spent nine square grids, which was considered the Fu Jian army, and the other side was just an arrow, representing the Beifu soldiers who crossed the river.

Pointing to the arrow, Hua Xue said: "First of all, Xie Xuan fooled Fu Jian, saying that he was going to cross the river for a decisive battle, and asked Fu Jian to get out of the way of a vacant land along the river. ”

Saying that, he made a cross in the middle of the three squares near the Yangtze River in the Jiugong grid: "The military strength of the Beifu army is not even one-tenth of the Fu Jian army, so it is enough to vacate this square for him." In other words, Fu Jian only needs to step back the middle three squares. And Fu Jian himself has the mentality of attacking half-crossing, so in fact, he will only retreat half a square, and will not give enough space to the Beifu soldiers. ”

As she spoke, Hua Xue drew a horizontal line in the middle of the crossed lattice.

"Now I want to explain a question: when Fu Jian's army retreated, were the Beifu soldiers crossing the river?"

Chen Yuan is quite familiar with Hua Xue's habit of deducing war, and he is also very comfortable with Hua Xue's expression, and is the first to answer: "Of course not." If the Beifu soldiers have already crossed the river, Fu Jian will start to attack half-crossing, right? ”

Liu Ru shook his head: "No, the half-crossing attack, obviously to let go of part of the landing, otherwise it will not be half-crossing." Since Xie Xuan had a plan, he would definitely control the time of the landing, and when Fu Jian's army retreated, it was just the time for them to land. ”

Hua Xue nodded: "Very good." Regardless of the conclusion, at least the reasons you say are actually correct. Xie Xuan controlled the time and followed Fu Jian's army to land. And Fu Jianjun, facing the landing Xie Xuanjun, how to retreat? Turn around and go straight away? Leave your back to each other? Apparently impossible. Fu Jian already had the intention of attacking half-crossing, so he naturally ordered the front army to face the Yangtze River and slowly retreat. In addition to being vigilant, Fu Jian also had the intention of keeping them ready to charge at any time. ”

Tapping the six squares on both sides, Hua Xue said: "Obviously, in the face of less than 100,000 Beifu soldiers, it is impossible for the million Fu Jian army to retreat on all fronts, but only the middle part retreats. The wings are held motionless. Only the Chinese army has moved. So a new question arises, where is Fu Jian's elite position? ”

"Of course it's the Chinese army."

"Very good, I understand what you said about the Chinese army as the middle road." Hua Xue pointed to the three squares in the middle and asked, "The middle lane is divided into the front army, the middle army, and the rear army." Where's Fu Jian? ”

"We're talking about the Chinese army!"

"Okay," he nodded to the middle square, Hua Xuedao, "for the time being, he is in the middle army." Here's the question: If it's just someone who creates chaos and shouts that Fu Jian is defeated, who knows that Fu Jian is actually not defeated at this time? ”

"The three former armies know it. Because they could see the Beifu soldiers, they knew that there was no fighting at all. ”

"The Chinese army also knows. Because they could see Fu Jian, who himself was retreating in an orderly manner. ”

"Very good, so the army in chaos now is the middle army and the rear army on the two wings that are at a loss and do not know what to do, as well as the rear army in the middle." Hua Xue nodded at the five squares and asked, "So if these people escape, which direction should they flee?" ”

"I'm all flustered, so naturally I'm running in all directions, how can there be a fixed direction?"

"Then one direction is the Chinese army with a tight array, and the other directions are also chaotic, where to flee?"

"The direction of chaos."

"Good. When there are no enemy troops chasing behind you, there will be no deserters stupidly rushing into the army, right? ”

"That's right."

"That is to say, there is no chaos, and these four parts of the array, which are already rigorous, will not be affected by the rout. There will be no chain rout. So even if the remaining ones are only one-fifth of the total strength, or even one-tenth, there are more than 100,000, how did the Beifu soldiers who had just landed defeat them in an instant? ”

"They don't know what's going on behind the scenes, and they're not in a good mood, right?"

"They don't know what's going on in the back, but Fu Jian's main formation is still in this part? Does Fu Jian himself think that he has lost? Fu Jian has also fought in the south and the north, so he won't even be able to stabilize his own formation, right? ”

"That's not right. Fu Jian's main formation should be in the rear army, and it is out of touch with the front army, so the front army and the middle army lost contact with Fu Jian's main army and was defeated. ”

"Good. Fu Jian's main formation was in the rear, because he was the first to retreat, which led to the rout of the front army. So may I ask, how many soldiers and horses can be stabilized in Fu Jian's own formation? ”

"If you can see Fu Jian's main formation in order, they should all be stable, and there should be tens of thousands of people, right?"

"That's right. Fu Jian has tens of thousands of troops in hand, and he is in the rear army, so he can gradually gather the rout. Excuse me, why did his home line also collapse in the end? ”

"I heard that the defeat is like a mountain, and this battle can't be stabilized, right?"

"That's right, it's true. Even in the battle of Xiang Yu Pengcheng, 30,000 troops pursued and killed 560,000 coalition troops. This is called inverted bead curtains, and it is a common practice to defeat the strong with the weak. However, there is a very important premise for this, that is, the pursuing force must have a fairly strong mobility ability, so as to drive away the rout and constantly attack the unprepared enemy troops. But where did the Beifu soldiers, as the army crossing the river, get their mobility ability? Fu Jian's main formation is in the rear army, he has plenty of time to stabilize his position, and he is not stupid to break the army, so why bother to rush up? ”

"Is there a spy who took the opportunity to coax and disturb Fu Jian's main formation?"

"There are spies, although they are not arranged by the Jin army. Fu Jian's so-called million-strong army, many of which were other tribes he coerced, had long been dissatisfied with Fu Jian. There is even more Xianbei Murong Ministry, who has long wanted to replace him. But the problem is that these are all miscellaneous troops, and they are all far away from the main formation. Fu Jian is not stupid, how can he put them in the heart? Even if they create chaos, they won't be able to implicate Fu Jian's own formation at all. As far as Murong Xianbei, who harbors the most evil intentions, is concerned, they are all cavalry, if they are too close to the main formation, and they have an antipathy, it is possible to take Fu Jian's head at night, and Fu Jian naturally arranged them to be far away from the main formation. Because of this, in the Battle of Weishui, Murong was able to preserve his strength and almost retreated. ”
