Liu Mang doesn't need to lecture, and he doesn't need to boost the morale of these chengguan troops, none of them can enter the chengguan army, and the chengguan army has changed I don't know how many batches of people since it became an army, and there are few who have been discharged, and there is no rise in this era to retire from the army, and no column is captured, all of them were killed in battle, and some of the seriously injured even chose to commit suicide in order not to drag down their teammates.
"Brethren, let's go out!" Liu Mang waved his hand, and no one brought enough dry food for three days, so he went on the road.
Outside the city of Gwangju is an endless plain, Liu Mang and their army marched to hide all the bed crossbows in the army, so as not to let the appearance of the bed crossbow be seen, and some white cloth was also covered with some white cloth to hide his traces.
After walking for a long time, Liu Mang saw a hill and dirt slope, this hill is not big at all, but it can hide fifty bed crossbows, and from the top of the hill, you can also see the scenes of other places in the plain at a glance, and it is a good place to ambush.
"Ziyang, let's set up an ambush here!" Liu Mang is very satisfied with this hill, and it is really not easy to find such a small hill in Yangzhou, Yuzhou, which shows that Liu Mang's luck is still good.
Liu Mang originally thought that Liu Ye would approve of the arrangement of this place he chose, but Liu Ye shook his head and directly stopped him, "Lord, we can't set up an ambush here!" ”
"Isn't it good here?!" Liu Mang was very strange, it was good luck to be able to find the current mound in such a plain place.
"It's not bad, it's good if it's just an ambush. But you have to know that we are here to make bait, and if you put it on top of a hill, who else do you say will eat this bait?! Liu Ye explained to Liu Mang. It's a hill that can be ambushed, and it's hard to find a better one in this plain, but don't forget it, you can see it, and the enemy can't see it! As soon as the troops of Xiliang Tieqi came to the junction of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, they did not directly go to escort grain and grass, but came to the city of Gwangju to show off their might, such a move. Liu Ye knew that this person who commanded the army was not a brainless waste, but a person who knew the art of war, knew when to show his muscles, and when to take back his edge, for example, when he came to Gwangju and did not shout, nor did he send someone to send letters, but marched outside Gwangju City. This is to tell Liu Mang not to act rashly, they were invited by Liu Bei to escort grain and grass, not Liu Bei's army, they will not play hard with you, and they will not stimulate Liu Mang's main force in Gwangju City too much, but if you give face, you will be embarrassed. Then don't blame Xiliang Tieqi.
Such a general, do you say he is a simple person, this is a good place for ambushes, once he sees it, he will not be suspicious! I'm afraid it's safe to be safe. They may not even come to bite the bait, or strengthen their guard. Let the subsequent ambush battle be flat and add to the damage.
"So where should we go for an ambush?!" Liu Mang really doesn't know as much about this as Liu Ye, so naturally he doesn't understand, so naturally let Liu Ye do it all, he Liu Mang knows that these first-class strategists in this era are not simple characters.
"Look, lord, there!" Liu Ye and Liu Mang climbed the hill together, they raised their eyes into the distance, condescending, Liu Ye directly pointed to a plain area and said to Liu Mang, "That's it, that's where we succeed or fail this time!" ”
"There? How can it be?! Liu Mang followed the place where Liu Ye's hand pointed, and immediately felt impossible, because the place Liu Ye pointed to was not anywhere else, but it was completely a place with the broadest vision and no danger to defend, if the army was deployed there, then even if it could stand up to the military formation, the strength would not be as good as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, because the more open the place, the more the impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry heavy armored cavalry could be reflected, and that place happened to be leaning on a small hill, just like Liu Mang was the main general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The slope of this hill will definitely be used to maximize the horsepower, so that the impact of the war horse will become stronger, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will also rise in a straight line.
It's not the point, the point is that in that place, you stand on the top of the hill and have an unobstructed view, so in that place, how can you be ambushed! Where to put these fifty bed crossbows, if you are stationed below, then his every move will be watched by the people who are all on the hills, how can this ambush, how can this catch Xiliang Tieqi off guard. Not to mention fifty bed crossbows, even fifty people, they are very conspicuous there.
"Hehe, lord, we can't ambush fifty bed crossbows on the ground, but why do we have to lay bed crossbows on the ground?!" Liu Ye's rhetorical question made Liu Mang really confused, isn't this crossbow ambushed on the ground, is it still in the sky, sent to the underground, underground? Liu Mang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked Liu Ye hurriedly, "Ziyang, what do you mean?!" ”
Liu Ye saw Liu Mang's hurry, and naturally knew that his lord Liu Mang had guessed the mystery of this: "That's right, we don't necessarily have to put the bed crossbow on the ground, there is nowhere to hide, put the fifty bed crossbows there, it is clear that we are telling the enemy that we are ambushing you, we are letting you take the bait, Xiliang Tieqi can see it at a glance, but once the bed crossbow is placed on the ground, it is different!" Of course, it is not simply to dig a pit and put all the fifty bed crossbows into it, but to dig the foundation, and the slope that can push the bed crossbow out on the offensive position also needs to be able to push the bed crossbow out, and the turf on the plains cannot be all thrown away, and those turf can be perfectly camouflaged, so that even from the top of the hill, you can't see where the ambush is, and once Xiliang Tie rides the bait, then directly from the ground, the turf is lifted, and the fifty bed crossbows are all pushed to the ground, so that the ambush will be perfect, will also really hit Xiliang Tie by surprise.
Think about it! On this hill, he could see the large camp below, so the soldiers and horses could not be seen at a glance, and the surrounding area could not be ambushed, so he was naturally confident, so that once he relaxed. Then it's the end of Xiliang Iron Ride.
"Haha, okay. That's it! Liu Mang was very simple, Liu Ye said whatever he wanted, two thousand five hundred soldiers began to work, although they did not have professional digging tools, but they had war knives, and some simply found a wood to dig the ground by simple wooden work.
This is the junction of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and it has a lot of rain, so the ground is wet and it is easier to dig up. It is necessary to consolidate the wood after digging, otherwise the newly dug tunnel may be newly buried by the silt, and the degree of 2,500 people is very fast, and the general outline has been dug out in less than half a day.
"In this way, in this way, I only need to put ten bed crossbows in the middle, and put twenty on each side of the remaining forty!" Liu Mang said to the soldiers who were digging the pit. He was directing these soldiers to do things, and Liu Mang himself was not idle.
"Lord, why don't you arrange all the bed crossbows in the center?!" Liu Ye's plan is to hide these bed crossbows underground, and the bed crossbows need to be gathered in a large area in order to really wield his strength, so Liu Ye's plan is to put these fifty bed crossbows together. In this way, the formation of a cluster of fifty bed crossbows is not only a manifestation of combat effectiveness, but also a deterrent. And now, once the bed crossbow is separated, then his deterrent power will be greatly reduced, and Liu Ye doesn't think that the combat effectiveness will be stronger if it is dispersed.
"Hehe, Ziyang, make a plan. Give advice, I'm not as good as you. But your lord has some side ways that you don't understand! Liu Mang smiled and said to Liu Ye, it is impossible for him to explain to Liu Ye what is called crossfire, what is called fire blockade, although fifty bed crossbows block you together have a deterrent power, but his combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, because this attack will be depressing, maybe an enemy will be pierced by two giant arrows, maybe a dead person will waste the arrows of giant arrows, Liu Mang They brought not many arrows of bed crossbows, it is impossible for one person to come to the treatment of a giant arrow, but there are a full eight thousand people on the opposite side, And in this way, ten bed crossbows are placed in the middle of the road, which can ensure that the middle lane is not broken by the heavy armored cavalry, and it can also introduce pressure to the urban management troops who are blocking the front, and the forty crossbows on both sides are the real Grim Reaper, the cross firepower not only covers a wide area, but also his damage rarely overflows, so that no matter where the Xiliang Iron Cavalry attacks from, the bed crossbow troops can block him.
"Huh? Really?! Liu Ye still didn't understand a little, but fortunately, Liu Mang continued, "Hao Shao, Hao Botong, relying on such an arrangement in Guangzhou, shot Liu Bei's thousands of troops!" Hao Shao's trip to Guangzhou really made Liu Ye nod and praise, and even Liu Ye said to Liu Mang in private that such a person is a talent and needs to pay more attention to Hao Shao. Hao Shao commanded a garrison of 2,000 troops, relying on a small county town that had no danger to defend, and forced Liu Bei's 20,000 army to attack, shooting nearly 5,000 people.
"Well, that's the best!" Liu Ye didn't ask Liu Mang to prove anything to him, because Liu Mang had a lot of things that Liu Ye had never heard of at all.
"Okay, now that it's arranged here, the next one is how we should make this Xiliang Tieqi cat smell fishy!" Most of the day's time was basically done, Liu Mang also came to the top of the hill just to test, from the top of the hill to watch the appearance of the ambush camp below, to see if it is really hidden, Liu Mang can give birth to Ni Duan, but that is when using the telescope in his hand, this can see some of the differences in Yu Zong, because after all, it is digging the ground, and the new soil deposited in the ground has been turned over, and there are still some differences from the old soil around, but don't forget, this is in the case of using a telescope, This is still Liu Mang's own subconscious knowing that there is an ambush here, this can be different, if it is replaced by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry without a telescope, and replaced by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who does not know that there is an ambush, what kind of result will it be!
"Don't worry! Lord, this qiē Liu Ye has been done! Liu Ye nodded at Liu Mang and said, when Liu Mang was busy digging a pit with soldiers and horses, when Liu Mang was still leading the soldiers and horses out of Guangzhou, Liu Ye released the scouts, and also released the fishy smell of the bait, and now he is waiting for Xiliang Tie to take the bait!
