Chapter 168: The Battle of the Mighty Gate
"Bo Yan, what do you say Yuan Yin will do in the future?" Bai Tu asked Lu Xun.
After he officially apprenticed to Lu Su, Lu Kang gave him the epigram - Boyan.
"If I were Yuan Yin...... No, no matter who Yuan Yin is, he should have understood by now that in the face of Bai Gongcang, the truth of 'a lonely city is difficult to defend itself', and an army must be sent tonight to re-enter Xiaoyaojin. Lu Xun said.
What Lu Xun said is also the crux of Yuan Yin's current regret!
In the face of the menacing Jiangdong army, which was obviously not the same as Qichun and Guangling, Yuan Yin chose to defend the city.
Yuan Yin's idea is very simple, the Huainan sailors in Chaohu Lake are vulnerable, and under the great drought, the southern fertilizer water has been cut off, and the water level of the northern fertilizer water is also lower than in the dry period of previous years.
The reason why Hefei is an important place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is not only because of its strong and thick walls, but also because of its surrounding Bao River, Milky Way, Lou River, and Chaohu Lake...... Defend it as a moat!
However, under the severe drought, even around Xiaoyaojin, there are only large areas of tidal flats left.
Therefore, under the consideration of self-preservation, Yuan Yin gave up the peripheral water village, and even gave up the most important camp in Hefei, Xiaoyaojin.
Bai Tu didn't make any effort at all, just used a team of light steps to open the way with wooden planks, and all the way from Chaohu Lake, Jiangdong elite soldiers and siege equipment, to Hefei City.
If it is Lu Xun to defend the city, even if the river is dry now, he will definitely not give up and deploy defense in the tidal flats, after all, the silt at the bottom of the river is still there, and if the coast is guarded, the Jiangdong soldiers will have to pay a great price to go over.
In fact, Yuan Yin is also very simple, he has always thought that as long as he defends the city wall, and waits until Baitu can't stand the military food consumption of the drought soldiers, and retreats to Chaoxian County, or even retreats to the mouth of the water, he will win, and then wait for the drought to pass in the next year, the water level will rise again, and Hefei will still be the iron-clad Hefei!
After all, in the current year, Bai Tu is stationed outside the city, and he has to dig his own well, but in the city of Hefei, after all, it is surrounded by rivers, even if there is a big drought now, the water in the city can still be guaranteed.
However, what Yuan Yin didn't expect was that Bai Tu actually took out the Bai Gong Cannon, a sharp weapon to punish "defending the city......
If the camps around Hefei are still there, Bai Tu may not dare to fight his bulky white cannon outside Hefei!
"So...... Can we ambush near the Mighty Gate tonight? Bai Tu asked.
Hefei has seven city gates, east, west, south each two, during the day Baitu attack is the city tower of the south smoke gate, commonly known as the small south gate.
And Xiaoyaojin is near the Weiwu Gate, which is also known as the Great East Gate in the later world.
How close are the two? - Take the subway and get off at Dadongmen Station, walk a few hundred meters to Xiaoyaojin Park.
"Yuan Yin may not be so careless, he should send someone to investigate. Although the moat has dried up, there is not much to ambush nearby...... However, there is always an advantage and no harm in blocking it. Lu Xun said.
The reason why Lu Xun followed Bai Tu with the army was because he had an idea.
After all, although the situation in Jiangdong is good now, Bai Tu is ploughing cattle and turning salt, and he is always a little worried that someone will do things, so Lu Su took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in the rear and sit in the rear.
However, he recommended his little apprentice and followed Bai Tu as a staff officer.
If it is someone else who leads the troops, he may not be able to trust a little kid, but Bai Tu is different - his own teacher and nephew, of course he trusts.
The reason for attacking Xiaonanmen is precisely because this side is relatively dry up more thoroughly, and the terrain is more conducive to the play of Baigong artillery, and it turns out that Lu Xun's step has indeed "won" Yuan Yin.
And what the Jiangdong Army has to do now is to crappe the elephant's leg that Yuan Yin wants to support......
That night, the Huainan military first discovered the 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers who had moved to the east, but under the command of Lu Xun, they first retreated to the other side of the tidal flat formed after the Nanfei water receded, and then steadily fought with the Huainan army who wanted to forcibly transfer troops for half a night.
Although because of the terrain, Lu Bu's cavalry could not attack, and the Huainan Army, which had the founding BUFF, was not weaker than the well-trained Jiangdong Army, and as for the combat experience, both sides were relatively lacking, but in terms of morale, it was obvious that the Jiangdong Army had the upper hand.
After all, one side was determined to send Rende, but the other side was reluctantly instructed to go out to Xiaoyaojin after being shocked by the white cannon during the day.
Moreover, under the command of Lu Xun, the Jiangdong Army has always maintained its foothold along the river, forcing the other party into the center of the river, which is now the location of the tidal flat.
Under the shackles of silt, the Huainan Army, whose morale was already low, was even more at a disadvantage.
Because of the existence of the tidal flats, it will interfere with the levitation force of the "war horse", so the cavalry of the castle world cannot march in the mud, so they lack harvesting power.
The night battle, and ambush warfare, is different from the confrontation between the two armies in the daytime, not only can they not command with the banner on the high platform, but even the signal range of the "handsome banner" will be affected by the night.
Therefore, there is no need to consider the problem of fine formation changes, and being able to follow the basic orders of the command without panic is already considered elite.
Therefore, the number of Jiangdong Army dispatched could not be too much, even if Lu Bu personally led the troops, only less than 10,000 people were dispatched.
As for the command of 100,000 people who are blind in the black light? It is simply impossible, and it is inevitable that the generals of other departments will be arranged to fight separately under the grand strategic principle, and whether the cooperation between the generals of other departments is tacit, that is another matter.
Because of the handsome banner, it is impossible for Lu Bu to give full play to his advantages and rush around.
Under the Shuai flag, Lu Xun also followed Lu Bu a little nervously - Lu Xun was still a little worried about this flying general.
However, Lu Bu didn't embarrass him, although it was a little unlikely that he would listen to a little kid's advice, after all, ...... Lu Bu has never been known for being good at accepting words, and Lu Xun, who has no achievements, even if he is praised to the sky by Lu Su and Lu Kang, he can't convince Lu Bu, but ...... Lu Bu still followed what Bai Tu said this time, and was willing to serve as Lu Xun's "microphone" and "bodyguard".
If it was someone else who recommended it, even if it was the persuasion of his godson, it would be useless, Lu Bu would have copied the knife himself.
But Lu Xun's words...... Bai Tu said very clearly, he is Lu Su's student, and Lu Su is his cousin, so it can be deduced that Lu Xun is his Lu Bu's grandchild!
In this way, even if Lu Xun didn't call him "godmaster", Lu Bu still had some temperament from him.
With the "commanding power" of Lu Bu's battle armor and the signal amplification effect of the Shuai Banner, it was more than enough to command these 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers.
After all, the number and accuracy of the troops that can be commanded are not only related to the generals' own abilities and command methods, but also to the number of grassroots commanders and commanders, the degree of tacit understanding with the commander, and the perfection of the training level of the soldiers.
The Jiangdong Army is definitely the easiest army to command, but Lu Bu has a mediocre degree of tacit understanding with the armies other than the cavalry, and it is not longer than commanding with a marshal banner.
Lu Bu's favorite thing is to take the lead in the charge directly, lead thousands of cavalry, follow his own pace, and "scare" is over!
However, now he only uses Lu Bu's battle armor, which has its own commanding effect, which is convenient for Lu Xun to command, and Lu Bu did not say a word by himself throughout the whole process, which flattered Lu Xun.
It's just that...... Lu Xun always felt that General Lu looked at him strangely, as if he was not very happy to call him "General Lu"?
Aside from this, Lu Xun felt great about commanding a battle for the first time - and even faintly felt like awakening a new strategy!
During this period, Yuan Yin's choice was also unexpected by Lu Xun, because the other party was pressed into the mud throughout the whole process, and the Jiangdong Army could be said to have taken advantage of it, and Lu Xun originally speculated that Yuan Yin would retreat soon.
However, to Lu Xun's surprise, the battle lasted for most of the night, and the other party "added oil" several times, and finally even the large camp in the south was alarmed, and it was not until Bai Tu personally led the army that he retreated from the other party.
As the "lord", Bai Tu has the strongest fit for all grassroots officers, and when the army is not in turmoil, how many people can command - this is also the reason why as the "lord", there are often situations where he personally commands the troops to fight.
In the second half of the night battle, Lu Xun's command was a little weak, after all, it was the first time, it was inevitable that the time would be shorter, and Lu Xun's age was still young, the official seal and the talisman were only the most rudimentary, and his mental power could not maintain the state of "looking at the terrain" for too long.
Different from the whiteboard of Baitu, Lu Xun had two major strategies at the beginning of his awakening - observing the terrain and defeating the battle.
The former is equivalent to auxiliary use, after consuming mental power, you can watch the battlefield from the "perspective of terrain", and watching the battlefield is like overlooking the sand table!
If Chen Gong's "Ming Ce" is a few cameras, then Lu Xun's "View of Terrain" is a small map of the game - although there are no details, the general terrain and the direction of our army can be seen, and the enemy troops at a distance are ...... It's in the "fog of the battlefield", and there is no perspective effect.
As for the "Battleout"...... It is equivalent to a killing move, and it is necessary to use the terrain and military momentum to create a lore momentum, and Lu Xun even doubts that he will have the opportunity to launch a complete "battle" in his life.
By dawn, Bai Tu counted the casualties of the previous night and found that the Jiangdong Army had lost nearly 2,000 casualties - if Bai Tu had not also sent reinforcements, this would have been close to the brink of 8,000 men.
And the opponent's battle damage, even after Lu Xun weakened, has been at a level of 1.5:1, and in the first half of the journey, he was beaten in the mud, and it was estimated that the opponent's death was estimated afterwards, I am afraid that there were nearly 5,000 people!
The number of people who participated in the battle before and after should have exceeded half of the defenders of Hefei......
What surprised Bai Tu even more was that Yuan Yin didn't go out of the city to collect the corpse the next day, even if Bai Tu had withdrawn from the Weiwu Gate and took the initiative to ask for each other's corpses, Hefei City was still motionless.
With the current hot weather, it won't take long for the corpses to decompose, not only the corpses of the officers will cause a plague, but the remains of the soldiers will also produce a gas that is not good for the army if left to decay!
Bai Tu had already decided that if the other party didn't come out in the afternoon, he could only collect the corpse on his behalf......
Of course, if you do it from the white map, it must be to dig a big pit and bury it after a fire, and it is impossible to save the ashes as much as possible for the enemy and your own people.
Unexpectedly, before noon, Bai Tu waited for another news that surprised him - in the north of Hefei, traces of a large-scale march were found!
Originally, Bai Tu didn't expect to be able to surround the point to help, after all, Yuan Shu was also "dead and not saved" in history.
It is true that the army found was not the support of Shou Chunlai, but the ...... Yuan Yin took advantage of the night battle at the Weiwu Gate last night, and fled from the north gate with the elite soldiers of Nanyang, who were real henchmen!
After Lu Xun learned the news, he was also taken aback, he had never thought that the enemy would be so undisciplined, even an important town like Hefei, he would give up easily? What kind of operation is this?
No matter how smart Lu Xun is in the future, he is still young, and he still owes some meaning to his speculation about "people's hearts......
