Chapter 42: Before the Decisive Battle (Subscription Requested)
PS: Sorry, it's late to be busy today, so the update is late, please forgive me! I told you before I was busy with anything this month, so I won't say much, and I hope you will support me a lot. Don't say thank you......
After a short silence, Liu Hong took the lead and laughed, "Good! If it really lives up to my name as a Han soldier, do you think so? ”
Although the results of the battle were due to the dense crossbow arrows, Liu Hong still praised the Han army, and the recognition of the main general, especially when the main general was the emperor, a compliment would have an incredible effect.
And Liu Hong's last sentence was said to the staff officers around him, several people around Liu Hong are famous people in later generations, Liu Hong still hopes to be recognized by them, this is Liu Hong's only remaining trace of the influence of later consciousness.
Hearing Liu Hong's question, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Xun You praised one after another, they knew that this was the emperor's vanity, but they were very happy to satisfy the emperor's little vanity.
Hearing the praise of the three, Liu Hong was very happy, but Lu Zhi hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, now the main force of our army is all in the three armies in front, what if the Xianbei cavalry bypasses the two wings at this time and goes straight into the Chinese army where His Majesty is located?" ”
Liu Hong was stunned when he heard this, this is not to say that Lu Zhi's worries are justified, after all, the overall strategy this time was formulated with Jia Xu's participation, and Jia Xu is a rare all-round talent, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
Immediately, Liu Hong reacted, although Lu Zhi is talented, but since Liu Hong came to this world. Lu Zhi's fate was changed. In this life, Lu Zhi has never led a soldier. He has been holding the position of Ting Weizheng.
Now Lu Zhi's reputation for integrity has spread all over the Sili area, and even the surrounding prefectures and counties know that Tingwei has an upright official named Lu Zhi.
But this also made Lu Zhi's knowledge level begin to tilt towards the prison side, so there is the above question.
After thinking about it, Liu Hong smiled and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to worry, the three armies in front are more than 200,000 troops, and with such a large-scale army, how boundless the battle formation is in the queue." With such a large front, the Xianbei people wanted to bypass the three armies in front and raid the Yu Zhong army. It's impossible. ”
"Besides, with Xianbei's tens of thousands of elite cavalry, it will not pose a threat to my army, so Aiqing doesn't have to worry about my safety."
In the end, Liu Hong attributed the reason for Lu Zhi's wrong words to worrying about the emperor's safety, which resolved the embarrassment that might arise because Lu Zhi asked the wrong words, after all, everyone around is military knowledgeable, and you are an official in charge of criminal law who asked this, doesn't it mean that these military-related officials are ignorant!
Lu Zhi saluted Liu Hong gratefully when he heard this, while Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Xun You stared ahead without joy or sorrow, as if they hadn't heard the conversation between Lu Zhi and Liu Hong.
At this time, the situation of the battle ahead changed here. Seeing that the 30,000 army was destroyed in an instant, Murong the Xianbei King decided to retreat temporarily. When the army of Fuyu arrives, they will attack again.
In fact, Liu Hong's tactics are very easy to crack, as long as the foot soldiers holding shields are slowly pressed, which is very simple for a country with balanced development of overall strength, but for Xianbei, who only attaches importance to cavalry, has just stolen more than half of the land of Fuyu Kingdom, but has never trusted the people in the territory, this tactic is very difficult to deal with.
Liu Hong began to retreat slowly in Xianbei, and was stunned, Liu Hong didn't expect that the battle that he thought would be a decisive battle would end so intimidatingly.
However, at this time, Liu Hong didn't want to let go of Xianbei people so easily, so Liu Hong ordered, "The whole army is advancing slowly!" ”
Hearing this order, Jia Xu and Xun You's eyes lit up, the Xianbei army retreated, as long as the Han army advanced so unhurriedly, it gave the Xianbei people endless pressure, you must know that Xianbei at this time is not the era of all cavalry.
Although Xianbei brought slave soldiers, the number of troops increased a lot, but it seriously slowed down the speed of the Xianbei people, you must know that Xianbei, or all the nomads, put pressure on the Southern Dynasty because of the speed at which it came and went like the wind.
How could the Xianbei army, which did not have the speed at this time, make the Han army afraid?
As the Han army slowly advanced, Xianbei's slowly retreating army showed a trace of panic.
Seeing this, Murong shouted angrily: "It's really angry with me!" Is the Han army trying to eat us all? ”
Listening to Murong's words without grace and the city government, there was no change in the faces of the Xianbei generals around him, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Murong is the king designated by Tanshihuai before his death, because in the eyes of Tanshihuai, Murong is a gentle person, and Tanshihuai feels that at this time, Xianbei should recuperate and digest the territory of more than half of the country.
Instead of rashly attacking the Han Dynasty like him Tanshi Huai, although he may win two small victories at the beginning, the consequences of angering the Han Dynasty are not acceptable to Xianbei today.
When Tan Shihuai was dying, the last words he said to Murong were "I Xianbei is a cobra in the desert, and the Han Dynasty is the huge tiger, we can gently bite a few bites when the tiger is sleeping, but when the tiger wakes up, we will quickly flee." Otherwise, the Huns who crisscrossed the grassland back then would be my Xianbei tomorrow! ”
If you follow the strategy of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei can at least dominate the northern Han for several years, slowly accumulate strength, and finally fight to the death with the Han Dynasty. After all, Liu Hong will not take the initiative to cross the border by issuing treasury bonds, this time it is the Xianbei people who lead the first criminal, otherwise there will be at least a few years of peace between the Han and Xianbei.
It's a pity that Tanshi Huai mistook Murong's character, and under Murong's gentle and generous face, there was a soul with infinite ambition.
So after Murong ascended the throne, he took the initiative to march south to avenge Tanshi Huai.
And Xianbei's generals are not convinced by Murong, but in the matter of avenging Tanshi Huai, Xianbei's real power is highly consistent, which is the charm of Tanshi Huai.
However, it is obvious that Murong is not the material for leading the troops, otherwise he would not be defeated again and again, and even said the above words that might make the soldiers unmoraled.
Murong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, and after he finished speaking, seeing that no one responded, he said indignantly in his heart, "Hmph, you despise this king so much, this king must know how wise and powerful this king is!" ”
Then he opened his mouth and shouted, "The whole army retreated a hundred steps, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Han army, and the whole army rushed forward, so that the crossbow arrows of the Han army were useless." ”
The Xianbei generals looked at each other when they heard this, they all thought that this was a good strategy, and their gaze at Murong changed slightly, although this Murong King was not as good as the King of Tanshi Huai, he was not a straw bag who didn't understand anything!
When he heard this order, the brave and invincible Xianbei general turned pale, if this plan was really implemented, then the Xianbei army would be wiped out.
Immediately, the young general rushed towards the Chinese army where Murong was. (To be continued......)
