Chapter 409: Digging a Pit

Happy New Year to you all

In the next battle of Guizhou City, Liu Wu lost more than 400 cavalry, Ke Changluo suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and nearly 100 war elephants were injured. If it weren't for the heavy rain pouring down to the slippery and muddy ground, which was not conducive to the cavalry charge, Ke Changluo's 20,000 troops would probably all be buried under the city of Guizhou.

The Vietnamese army suffered such heavy casualties, and under the command of Ke Changluo, it did not completely collapse, which was also one of the reasons why Liu Wu had to withdraw his troops.

To tell the truth, he was accustomed to blowing the northwest wind and seeing the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and before the battle, he did not look down on the combat strength of the Vietnamese army at all, and his caution when reinforcing was just that the terrain was not conducive to the cavalry's combat power.

However, after this battle, Liu Wu completely put away his thoughts about underestimating the enemy, although it was not conducive to the pursuit of cavalry in the rain, but Ke Changluo was still able to gather more than 10,000 Vietnamese troops to return to the camp under that circumstances, which was enough to be impressive.

Liu Wu didn't know that in fact, in the past 20 years, it was the heyday of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi, since the eighth year of Xining and the Great Song Dynasty, these years have continued to use troops against neighboring countries such as Zhenla and Zhancheng, and the war has not been interrupted, and the actual combat is the best way to train elite soldiers.

In order to control the strategic node of Guizhou, Ruan Zhishun made a bloody investment and gave the most elite 20,000 horses to Ke Changluo, although these 20,000 people had no experience in fighting with large groups of cavalry, but they were always elite soldiers for the rest of their lives, so even if they were ploughed back and forth by Liu Wu for two rounds, they did not collapse.

At the end of the day, the two armies each collected their troops and returned to their camps, silently licking their wounds, summing up experience, and analyzing their opponents.

Ke Changluo believes that the reason why he has lost so much. The first reason is that he has not seen the power of a large cavalry battle, and he is not well prepared. For example, there was a lack of weapons against cavalry, such as horse rejecting rifles and giant shields, so that Liu Wu easily broke away from the infantry phalanx.

In addition, it rains heavily from the sky, so that their bows and arrows cannot exert their due power, otherwise when the cavalry rushes, they will be blocked by a rain of arrows. It can also inflict heavy damage on cavalry.

Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, with this lesson. Ke Changluo believed that as long as he made targeted arrangements, it was entirely possible to defeat Liu Wu's cavalry.

In addition to weapons such as horse repellents, war elephants can also be placed in front. As long as a layer of leather is added to the trunk to prevent the other party from cutting the trunk again, it is completely possible to use the war elephant to crush Liu Wu's cavalry, at least it can also stabilize the speed of the cavalry, once the cavalry loses its speed, there is nothing to fear.

Liu Wu is also analyzing the Vietnamese army, this group of Vietnamese troops was defeated but not defeated, which shows that the will is tenacious, but it lacks experience in dealing with cavalry, after this battle. Next time, it will not be so easy to deal with, and those war elephants are also extremely difficult, most of the hundreds of men and horses lost this time died in the elephant array, and many even risked their lives. to cut the elephant's trunk.

However, elephants do not necessarily have to use their trunks as weapons, as long as the other side gives the trunk proper protection, the trick of cutting the trunk will not work, and you must find another way to deal with these behemoths.

Although the rain soon stopped, neither side came out to invite the battle again that day, and it was evening. Ke Changluo even put 2,000 men on the periphery to prevent Liu Wu from harassing him again.

The next day, Yu Xing led a thousand men and horses arrived in Guizhou, with a thousand flintlock pistols to support, Liu Wu was very determined, after several generals discussed, thought that Guizhou was open under the city, which was conducive to flintlock pistols and cavalry, so it was decided to lead Ke Changluo to the city again and annihilate it completely.

Liu Wu sent Xu Wei to lead a thousand men and horses to the enemy camp to challenge, but no matter how Xu Wei and they laughed and humiliated on this day, Ke Changluo just stood still and would never fight.

It's not that Ke Changluo is afraid of the Song army, but that he needs time to build equipment such as horse repelling pistols and cabinet horse pens, how can he rush into battle before these things are ready? …,

"Spirit Spider Girl, what do you want to do?"

The little girl at the bottom of the stairs looked angry, she was gorgeously dressed, she was as beautiful as a flower, but her temper was not small, of course, she was a princess in the eight caves.

As soon as the little girl saw the main lord appear, she immediately put aside those guards, shook her beautiful legs twice, stood on the steps and glared at Yang Yi and said, "I should ask you this, what do you want to do?" I've been in Pennsylvania for a few days, except for a bunch of nonsense, you didn't say anything, you went to Kunlun Pass to play, I'm here to tell you today, this girl doesn't have time to accompany you. ”

The little girl's voice was crisp, and Yang Yi quietly took half a step back, and replied quietly: "Lingzhu girl, didn't I tell you to wait patiently for two days, and then discuss major matters after the other leaders arrive?" ”

Yang Yi took half a step back, and the little girl immediately forced another half step forward, tiptoeing slightly, probably wanting to increase her momentum: "If other leaders love to come, what does it have to do with me?" Anyway, I've been here for the eight holes, since you have nothing to say, then this girl won't accompany you, if you dare to use this as an excuse to trouble me in the eight holes, this girl will make you look good. ”

Over the years, Yang Yi has really never been threatened in person, it is inevitable that he feels a little ridiculous, he just wanted to answer, and suddenly found a red spider crawling on his shoulder, he couldn't help but be shocked, he had been on a mission in the jungle for many years in his previous life, and naturally knew that the brighter the color of these poisons, the stronger the toxicity;

Yang Yi waved his sleeves and slapped the spider away, and then his body retreated, and the guards around him rushed out with swords and guns, and quickly pounced to protect Yang Yi, staring at Xian Lingzhu with fierce eyes.

In the face of the cold knives and guns of the guards, the Xian Lingzhu was not afraid, and with a mention of her fingers, the red spider returned to her hand along the spider silk, and she pressed the button-sized red spider with her fingertips, with a smug smile on her face.

This scene makes people feel very weird, a young and beautiful girl, playing with a highly poisonous red spider in her hand, beauty and ugliness are intertwined, forming a sharp contrast, bringing people a very strong visual impact.

Yang Yi said expressionlessly: "Lingzhu girl, I hope there will be no next time, otherwise, you will not be forgiven!" ”

That Xian Lingzhu replied to the red spider: "What's the spirit, if this girl really wants your life, you will be dead a long time ago!" ”

"You don't have the guts." Yang Yi's tone was calm, and he flicked his sleeves and said. "Since the Lingzhu girl is impatient, you can go back to the eighth cave now, don't send it!"

Seeing Yang Yi brushing her sleeves away, Xian Lingzhu was a little anxious, she was really a girl, everyone in the clan regarded her as a princess, and she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. came here but was hung by Yang Yi for a few days, and he was angry before he teased him, but he really wanted to fall out with Yang Yi. She didn't dare, or she wouldn't be in Pennsylvania.

"You wait, Yang Yi...... Mr. Yang! You wait! ”

A call to her. Yang Yi ignored it, she was so angry that she stomped her feet, the jingle bell on her body kept ringing, and seeing Yang Yi disappear into the yamen, she snorted coquettishly and took people away angrily.

Jiao Shou, who had always pretended to be deaf and dumb, smiled at Yang Yi and said: "It's just an ignorant Miao girl, why should Scholar Yang be as knowledgeable as him." ”

Yang Yi sat back on the chair, took a sip of the teacup, and replied with a smile: "Father-in-law Jiao doesn't despise this girl, I estimate that she has collided with me several times." In addition to being reckless because this woman is really reckless, there is also a sense of temptation. ”

Jiao Shou said with some surprise: "Scholar Yang, our family has seen a lot of people, this Miao girl is obviously a spoiled temperament since childhood, and she has made trouble to the state government twice. It's just a little temperament, and in our family, this woman doesn't seem to be a scheming person. ”

Yang Yi smiled faintly and said: "My father-in-law is aware of everything, so naturally he will not be mistaken, this woman is indeed a small character who has been penetrated, she is just a tool used by others to test me." ”…,

"Scholar Yang is saying that there is someone else behind the scenes?"

"It should be like this, Xian Meng, the head of the eight caves, has a very high prestige among the Miao people of all departments. This time, he claimed that he was old and had difficulty moving, so he sent a granddaughter to come, but this granddaughter was reckless, which is intriguing. ”

After listening to Yang Yi's words, Cheng Jie, the envoy of Guangxi Economic Strategy, suddenly realized, and couldn't help but high-five and said: "Scholar Yang is reasonable, according to the lower officials, Xian Meng is old, but his body has always been tough, when he can't even come to Pennsylvania, he sent a reckless granddaughter to come, and he really has the intention of testing the bottom line of the imperial court. ”

Yang Yi smiled meaninglessly and said: "It's not smart, my Great Song Dynasty is flourishing, and the Western Xia has been peaceful, so I didn't have time to take care of these fetters in the south, but now it's not, as long as someone thinks about it, they will understand the truth, so it is reasonable to have some temptation." ”

"In short, Xiaguan and others are not as good as Scholar Yang."

Yang Yi didn't have time to listen to people's sycophants, and after chatting a few words, he immediately let the herald come in, and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my order, I am afraid that it will be rainy in the near future, and I ordered Liu Wu in Guizhou to judge the situation, analyze the pros and cons, and end the war in Guizhou as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as the herald went out, Yang Yi returned to the room and began to think hard, if the typhoon brought a lot of rain, it would be extremely unfavorable for both the enemy and us.

It is difficult to use your own firearms, the enemy's bows and arrows are not effective, and it is even more difficult to supply and transport food and grass.

Combining these factors, how to reduce the impact of rain, and even turn rain into a day to defeat the Vietnamese army, this has become a problem that Yang Yi needs to think about carefully.

Yang Yi was deliberating in the room, and Liu Zheng came in again and reported: "My lord, there is news from Guangzhou that the supply of grain and grass for the army has begun to be shipped, but because the heavy rain has begun to fall on Guangnan East Road, I am afraid that the time to arrive in Guizhou will be delayed." In addition, the men and horses of the ninth general of Gyeonggi have also avoided Guangzhou Lane. ”

The Gyeonggi Army's 2,500 men and men were also armed with flintlock pistols, and this time they would be used as a left hook.

Yang Yi was secretly relieved to hear that this group of men had avoided the port of Guangzhou.

According to the experience of later generations, if a typhoon makes landfall in Guangdong, it will usually affect Guangxi within a day, and even the outer airflow will bring a large amount of rain before the typhoon makes landfall.

Yang Yi meditated hard and ...... a day What can you do in a day?

"Liu Zheng, you immediately go and arrange it, and reveal the fact that you don't need to use firearms in the rain to Ruan Zhishun, and ......"

Yang Yi's voice was lowered, and he whispered to Liu Zheng, and when Liu Zheng withdrew, Yang Yi immediately sent Bao Yi, Lan Jilong, and Guan Yingqin to the government to discuss matters, preparing to dig a big pit for Ruan Zhishun.

If you want others to believe your lies, it is best to be true and false, true and false, true and false, such lies are often difficult even for those old foxes to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

When Ruan Zhishun was imitating Yang Yi, didn't Yang Yi analyze Ruan Zhishun's personality back and forth these days?

This man was indeed very talented in military affairs, bold and careful, patient and decisive. If you don't see it clearly, you will never make a move lightly; And once he feels that there is something to be done, he will definitely strike with all his might.
