"In that case, what does the general plan to do?" After listening to Liu Xin's analysis, Guo Tingwei was very impressed.
Liu Xin was silent, smiling, and looked unfathomable. In fact, at this time, he was proud in his heart, since he liked to boast, of course, he hoped that others would agree, Guo Tingwei's admiration made him very satisfied, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
Seeing Guo Ting's humble demeanor of seeking advice, Liu Xindu felt that he was tall, he put on an unhurried appearance, and said in a very lofty manner: "Our army has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if some sailors and soldiers want to control the building boat, they can't come ashore, and the available soldiers of this general are nearly 20,000. Our army has so many elite soldiers and soldiers, and it should be arranged many times. β
Speaking of this, Liu Xin deliberately stopped. Sure enough, Guo Tingwei immediately asked, "How to arrange?" β
Liu Xinxin was satisfied, in a happy mood, and his thinking was much faster than usual, "If the Tang army is coming to attack me, the soldiers will inevitably point directly at Tu Mountain." Therefore, relying on Tushan to arrange troops is an opportunity for our army. β
In the reeds, Meng Ping asked people to bring the map drawn by the military intelligence department, spread it on the ground, and pointed to Tu Mountain, "The topography of Tu Mountain, slightly longer from east to west, slightly narrower from north to south, slightly higher in the east, slightly lower in the west, generally comb-shaped, the mountains are like shuttles, the terrain is relatively steep, most of the mountains are not suitable for deploying troops and camping, and the only place for camping is at the south end of the western slope near Huaishui." Liu Xin only set up a camp on the mountain, and he didn't want to set up more camps, but he couldn't. β
Bounded by the northwest corner of Tushan Mountain, west of the northwest corner, Huaishui is in a north-south direction, and flows through the northwest corner from south to north to become an east-west direction.
The low mountain bag where Liu Xin camped is in the westernmost part, on the one hand, because of the terrain, the slope on all sides is gentle, and on the other hand, it is also close to the Huaishui water sailor.
Meng Ping continued: "Because the terrain of Tushan Mountain is like a comb, soldiers and horses can be hidden between the mountains; And because Liu Xin's camp is based in the west, soldiers and horses can also be hidden in the north; And because the sailor was on the Huai River, the enemy thieves were able to land from the west. β
"In a word, if our army attacks Liu Xin's cottage, it is very likely that it will be attacked from all sides."
"The situation worked in my favor because the mountain where Liu Xin camped was not very high, and the slopes were easier to climb. But Rao is so, after all, the other side has the advantage of the terrain, whether it is to defend the camp, but to dive into our army, it is greatly advantageous. β
At this point, Meng Ping looked at the generals, "Therefore, if this battle is to be won, the war must not last, and if it lasts, it will not be good for me." In order to win a quick victory, the tactics must be properly arranged. Liu Xin is pretentious, and this is an opportunity to take advantage of. Therefore, the general's strategy is to take Liu Xin directly! β
"In this way, this general needs a fierce general who is brave and can sacrifice his life to the death, when our army's armor attacked the mountain camp and the two armies were deadlocked, they suddenly attacked and killed Liu Xin in one fell swoop! Among the ten thousand troops, who can rely on twenty or thirty horsemen to attack against the trend and take Liu Xin's head for me? β
The generals looked at each other in awe. I don't know how many vicious battles the Hundred Battles have fought, and they have been on the battlefield for a long time, how can they not know the dangers?
At this moment, a man stepped forward.
Tu Mountain, Wu Jun barracks, Liu Xin beat drums to gather generals, and arranged troops.
After everything was arranged, Liu Xin came to Yuanmen and looked up.
Between Tushan and Huaishui, there is a long and narrow flat land, less than a thousand steps wide. Thousands of steps away, Wu Junlou's ships are lined up one by one, and the masts are like forests.
Liu Xinxin said: "The terrain here is narrow, and there is my sailor on the side, the Tang army will not set foot in this place if it comes from the south." β
Liu Xin looked south again.
To the south is the direction in which he pursued more than 100 Tang troops before, and the fields are vast, with a radius of several miles, which is enough for the battlefield. If the Tang army attacked the Tushan military camp from the south, it would be the worst to avoid being attacked by the strong crossbow of the Lou boat.
Liu Xinxin said: "Although the south is enough to be a battlefield, the general is condescending and commands the overall situation in Tushan, but he will not go down the mountain easily." As long as Ben did not go down the mountain, the Tang army had to climb the slope and fight. At that time, the Tang army will go deep into the battlefield, and our army will still be able to attack from the east and west, and then cooperate with the military camp on the mountain to counterattack. β
Just as he was thinking, Liu Xin's eyes shrank, because he had already seen the billowing smoke and dust on the southern horizon.
He stood tall and saw far away, and after a while, a black line appeared on the horizon. The black line grew thicker and longer in a moment, and then gradually became a black lake.
To the south of Tu Mountain, there was originally a large area of farmland, but where the black lake passed, the farmland was naturally unrecognizable.
It can be seen that the reason why a military disaster is a military disaster.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Xin's eyes suddenly widened for a moment, because he had already seen the other party's flag.
"It's a Hundred Battles!" Liu Xinxin's head was slightly cold, of course he had heard of the achievements of the Hundred Battles Army, and he had made a name for himself in the battle of Xuanwu County in Dongchuan last year.
Liu Xinxin said: "It's an elite, but I don't know who will be better than my Wu army." β
Meng Ping rode his horse and slowly advanced in front of the formation.
The footsteps of the Hundred Battles Army were very heavy and rhythmic, as if stepping on a person's heart, and people's heartbeats couldn't help but match it. At this time, the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army will feel the pulsation of the mountains and rivers, which is consistent with their breathing rhythm.
The army was arrayed in all directions, and the rangers flew back and forth, rolling up smoke and dust to stir around, and probing the surrounding situation for the army. Meng Ping, who lived in front of the battle, became the starting point of the rangers' dispersion and the end point of their return, and military information was transmitted to Meng Ping's ears one after another.
The rumbling footsteps of the army were heavy and powerful, but Tu Shan in front of him was surprisingly quiet.
Finally, the Hundred Battles Army came to a halt in the field.
Heaven and earth were suddenly unusually quiet, and the falling needles could be heard, leaving only the sound of the hooves of the ranger war horses and the sound of shouts.
However, the silence was only temporary, and soon, the army began to change formations. The watchtower was erected, the war drums, the command flag, and the horn were the first to take their places, and the formation made the watchtower high, and gave the order to set up the array, and then under the command of the command, the horse army, the big shield, and the archers entered their respective positions in turn. The whole army formation was like a plate of quicksand, which was divided into many parts from the whole, and quickly merged into a whole from the parts.
When the change of the military formation was completed, the military formation, which originally looked strong and calm, suddenly became sharp and murderous.
Meng Ping was still in front of the formation, and at this time, the rangers who went to the front foothills, the two wings and the rear side of Tushan Mountain to reconnoiter galloped back one after another, conveying to Meng Ping the reconnaissance situation in various places.
In the huge movement of the changes in the large array of more than 10,000 people, few people may have noticed that around Tu Mountain, and even farther to the left and right of the military formation, there were already some rangers who fell to the ground, their bodies motionless, and only the blood that passed took away their vitality.
As a result, when some of the horses rushed back to the military formation, there were no cavalry on horseback.
These war horses rushed back to the military formation, and there would be horse soldiers who stepped forward and silently led the war horses back. As for the stone heads of the horsemen, now is not the time to collect them.
The reason why those rangers died was not because they were ambushed, but because they went deep into certain places that the enemy did not want them to go into, so they would be intercepted and killed, and if they did not run in time, they could lose their lives.
The Great War will start with the death of the Scouts, and the Great War will begin with the death of the Rangers.
The death of scouts and rangers certainly has its value.
Meng Ping soon learned that in the foothills of the southern part of Tu Mountain, there were hidden ambushes of the Wu army, and judging by its topography and corresponding situation, how many ambushes there should be. As for the northwestern side of Tushan Mountain, how many paces the rangers have penetrated and been intercepted means how many steps there may be ambushes behind them, and if there are ambushes there, according to their distance, how much time they will spend rushing to their own formation, and to monitor these places, where should the follow-up rangers be placed.
All of this was quickly deduced in Meng Ping's mind.
In the military camp of the Wu Army in Tushan, Liu Xin looked at the deployment of the Hundred Battles Army and the distribution of the rangers of the Hundred Battles Army, and his face became solemn.
At a glance, he already understood that the Hundred Battles Army in front of him was indeed not a wasted person.
Guo Tingwei said that although he has little experience in war, as an observer of Haozhou, he is naturally not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, he quickly changed color and said: "The army is strictly organized, the scheduling is thorough, the battlefield is fully explored, not arrogant or impatient, the rules are moderate, not moving like a mountain, moving like thunder, this generation is not easy to get along!" β
When Liu Xin heard Guo Ting's ambition to grow others, he was inevitably unhappy in his heart, and snorted coldly, "There are many people who have nothing to show for themselves, and there are few people who can fight well; The fake style is easy to pretend, but the real kung fu is difficult to practice. The water is a little deep, and it is known that it is set foot in it, and the gold weighs a few taels, and it is called Fang Xiao. Now that the two armies have not yet fought, it is too early to assert that the enemy is elite! β
Guo Tingwei touched the mold, a little embarrassed, he got along for days, he already respected Liu Xin, and naturally had no intention of disobeying the other party at the moment, "No matter what the Tang army is, my Great Wu soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but there is no doubt that there is a general to command the troops at the moment, and this battle is Li Congjing's personal arrival, and he can't get half of the benefits!" β
Liu Xinxin was a little happier at this time, "That's nature!" β
Meng Ping has already ascended the watchtower.
In the field battle, the watchtower was only temporarily built by components, and it was not too high, and it could not be compared with the Tushan military camp, but at this time, Meng Ping stood on top of the watchtower, but it was enough to overlook the battlefield.
There was a platoon of envoys standing beside him, and the other party said: "The Wu army has a large number of soldiers, and occupies a favorable terrain, seeing that our army is coming, but does not set up a large formation to engage our army head-on, only dares to defend according to the camp on the mountain, and ambushes with heavy troops to wait for attack, Liu Xin, this person, is contemptible!" β
It's the truth.
But not entirely.
Meng Ping said lightly: "The matter of the battlefield, what is the use of the strength, you can win." β
He looked at the enemy camp in Tushan, as if he was facing Liu Xin, and said calmly: "Do you think you can save yourself by hiding in the mountains?" You'd be naΓ―ve. β
"Summons An Chongrong, attack the camp!"
The flags were moved, the drums were beaten, and the army was formed.
Attacking the camp on the mountain, naturally using the infantry army, An Chongrong led the infantry army to attack Tushan.
After the infantry army was dispatched, the two wings of the horse army were divided into one unit at the same time to protect An Chongrong's left and right.
At this time, there is no sun in the sky, only clouds.
The Wu army on the Tushan military camp didn't even go out of the camp gate, and they all cowered in the camp. When the black Tang army attacked the mountain, Liu Xin ordered to meet it with bows and arrows.
The Hundred Battles Army is known as the first elite of the Tang Dynasty, and it is well-equipped at the beginning. The armor soldiers in the front line all raised their large shields and blocked their bows and arrows from the outside. Occasionally, arrows passed through the shield and shot at the armor, and at a considerable distance, it was difficult to penetrate the cold-forged armor.
