"My second brother is still invincible in the world."

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh when he saw Guan Yu carrying the head of a thousand Turkic households.

Liu Bei's army of 50,000 men marched out of the Ili River valley and along the Tianshan Mountains.

The goal given to Liu Bei's army by the Military Strategy Division was to capture Broken Leaf City.

Broken Leaf City, located in the Chu River valley in the western part of Issyk-Kul Lake, has gone beyond the scope of the Western Regions Protectorate.

This place is the birthplace of the famous poet Li Bai.

Currently, Shattered Leaf City is controlled by the Golden Family.

Liu Bei was ordered to attack the famous Broken Leaf City, and the strategic purpose was to prevent the Turkic military general Sulu's troops and horses stationed in Broken Leaf City from cutting off the back route of the Western Expeditionary Army.

Sulu, the Khan of the Turkic tribe of Turgish, was active in Central Asia and attached to the Tang Dynasty at its peak. The Tang Dynasty named Sulu as the general of Zuo Yulin, and used Sulu to block the "great conquest" of the Arab Empire's eastward expansion in history.

Later, when Sulu's power grew, the Tang Dynasty saw that the tiger was in trouble, so it sent envoys to work with the Arab Empire to destroy Sulu.

In other words, more than a thousand years ago, Datang had a foreign policy of supporting agents, waging wars, and eradicating agents after they felt that they were not controlled......

Knowing that the Golden Family sent Sulu to occupy Broken Leaf City, Chu Tian ordered Liu Bei's army to fight for Broken Leaf City and defeat Sulu to ensure the way back.

At the same time, Shattered Leaf City is also a supply point on the outskirts of the Ili River Valley. There is no teleportation array in this city, so there is no need to worry that the number of Turkic cavalry in Shattered Leaf City will skyrocket after the battle.

Sulu defeated the soldiers and horses of the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition many times in history, causing heavy losses to the Arabs, and Chutian considered that Liu Bei's army had enough strength to defeat Sulu, so he sent Liu Bei's army.

Guan Yu, who returned to the battlefield, couldn't wait to be the vanguard, beheaded the Turkic thousands of households who came to the trial, beheaded them, and returned to Liu Bei.

Chen Xi, who served as the military division of Liu Bei's army, spread out the topographic map of Central Asia and moved his fingers along the marching route: "The other legions have already marched southwest along the Tianshan Mountains, and will soon enter the Syr Darya River, and if they go north along the Syr Darya, they will be able to besiege the royal city of the Seljuk Empire." In the area of the Tianshan Mountains, the Dawan Kingdom, and the Serzhu Empire, there were a large number of Turkic cavalry. We will take Shatterleaf City as soon as possible and join the army in front. ”

After Chen Xi surrendered to Chutian, as a player, he still knew the importance clearly.

Civil wars can kill you, but foreign wars cannot lead to internal strife.

If there is internal strife in a foreign war, then there is no doubt that it will be defeated.

In particular, the opponent is the Golden Family, which has absorbed a large number of steppe tribe leaders.

Attacking Sulu, who was stationed in Broken Leaf City, was Chutian's test for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei hadn't fought for five or six years, and when he was feeling lucky, he returned to the battlefield and felt that he was still used to fighting and killing.

A comfortable life is good, but it may be very uncomfortable for these generals who are used to the battlefield.

"Sulu is a strong enemy, good at raiding, which is also the usual method of cavalry generals."

Before Chen Xi participated in the first western expedition of the Great Xia Dynasty, as a rare player strategist, he studied many famous generals who served the Golden Family.

Cavalry generals can also be roughly divided, such as light cavalry harassment, long drive, and surprise attacks, such as Huo Quzhi, and generals who are good at pig suddenness, such as Huaxiong and Persia's royal wild boars.

Sulu belonged to the Turkic generals of the light cavalry school.

Liu Bei has great trust in this military division: "How to deploy the military division?" ”

"If you want to attack Broken Leaf City, you need to cross the Chu River, and there is a good chance that Sulu will choose to attack halfway. Two generals can be sent to Guan Zhang to lead strong crossbows and military vehicles to cross the river. When the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the troops, they could pretend to be chaotic. When Sulu came to attack, ten thousand crossbows were fired, and they were wounded, and the army could cross the river smoothly. ”

"Everything is according to the words of the military division."

Liu Bei listened to Chen Xi's strategy, and sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead 500 sword and axe men, 1,000 Youzhou assault cavalry, 3,000 Bai Yu soldiers, and 5,000 crossbowmen equipped with divine arms and bows, to cross the river first, and personally lead the "main force" that seemed to have a larger force, and then crossed the river.

The tactic of half-crossing is very common, that is, in the middle of the enemy's crossing of the river, launch a charge to destroy the enemy's soldiers and horses crossing the river, so that the enemy can not give full play to the advantage of troops, or, on the way to cross the river, unguarded, difficult to array, can kill and injure a large number of opponent's soldiers and horses.

Sun Ce and Yang Youji were in the Beijiang River, and they attacked with a half-crossing to defeat the Dayue army that crossed the river from Wanjijin.

However, there are times when the half-crossing attack fails.

The most interesting thing is the battle of Weishui, in order to achieve the half-crossing attack, Fu Jian ordered the army to retreat, so that Xie Xuan's Beifu army crossed the water, in an attempt to attack the half-crossing. As a result, once the Former Qin army retreated, it was completely uncontrollable, and Xie Xuan took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, defeating Fu Jian.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei crossed the river with their troops, the Turkic cavalry sent by Sulu to reconnoiter had already spread the news that Liu Bei's army was crossing the river to the ears of Sulu, who was ambushed nearby.

"The Golden Family promised me that as long as I hold Shattered Leaf City, then I will be the Khan of the Central Asian Riverside region. Shattered Leaf City will become the royal city of the Turgish Khanate. ”

Sulu, as a general of the Central Asian civilization, also had his own ambitions.

In fact, nine times out of ten, the main generals who served the Golden Family were ambitious heroes, such as Jerodashi, Timur, Mahmud, and Sulu, all of whom wanted to establish their own kingdoms and had absolute power.

"General, when are we going to attack?"

"Wait for the Xia army to have 20,000 or 30,000 people cross the river...... No, 10,000 people crossed the river, and we attacked. ”

Su Lu originally planned to attack halfway, but thought that the Xia army was too dangerous, so he still ate 10,000 of Liu Bei's army first, inflicted heavy damage on Liu Bei, and forced him back.

The Golden Family's Wokotai, the task he is currently giving him is only to defend Broken Leaf City and threaten the Xia Army's back road.

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei crossed the river, they did not arrange scouts, so that hundreds of cavalry pretended to be scattered to attract the attention of the Turkic cavalry, and deployed troop vehicles in the rear.

Liao Hua and Zhou Cang were all playing in Guan Yu and Zhang Feijun at this time.

Chen Zhi, the main general of the white soldiers, led 3,000 white soldiers, and the main weapon of the white soldiers was spears, which could be arranged in a long spear formation.

When Liu Bei's army had 10,000 people crossing the river one after another, on the horizon, the Turkic cavalry really arrived, using the tactics of half-crossing and attacking!

Once the tactics are successful, it is a special event on the battlefield and will cause the morale of Liu Bei's army to drop.

"It's a good time, my hands are itchy for a long time!"

Zhang Fei didn't go into battle for a long time, and wanted to lead the troops to the Turks.

And Guan Yu stopped Zhang Fei: "It is said that there are 100,000 Turkic cavalry in Broken Leaf City, and we still act according to the orders of the military division." ”

"Meet the enemy!"

Under Chen Dao's order, the three thousand Bai Yu soldiers quickly formed a phalanx of spears, with neat spears and military vehicles, backed by the river, forming a fan-shaped moon array!
