Chapter 363: The Battle of Yiling (One Hundred and Ninety-Three)
(Foreword)
Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.
(Text)
"General Cheng, Your Majesty's army is already rushing here, if you can't take Yiling Pass, it will inevitably stop Your Majesty's plan for a big battle, and the timing of the decisive battle of Eastern Wu will be delayed..."
Sure enough, Lu Xun of Eastern Wu was not an ordinary strategist, his courage and strategy were rare at that time, and such a fierce enemy appeared in front of us, it seems that it is really not so easy to leave this 'strange array'.
"I didn't expect the general to look young, but he was a far-sighted person, and our carefully designed tactics were like a child's game in front of the general. The general was very impressed and admired, but I heard that the Zhuge military division in Shuzhong, a rare intelligence and intelligence at that time, could block thousands of troops with a random strategy, but what I didn't expect was that the general's talent and strategy were also visible. Lu Xun said with a smile.
It's rare to have a chance to hear Lu Boyan speak, and this time it's really difficult.
"Most of the governors are serious, I am just a cloth cloth, how can I compete with the sun and the moon. Since I don't dare to talk about it with Mr. Zhuge , I know very well the talent of the metropolitan governor, and it is useless to guard Yiling Pass, but I must take Yiling Pass this time. I said firmly.
"It's not a small tone!! Let's see if you have the ability? "The 'mystery man' is adding fuel to the fire." The Metropolitan Governor doesn't have to worry about it, just let me handle such small things. After speaking, the 'mysterious man' turned to look at me under the city wall and said, "Don't think that you can be complacent if you unlock our army's 'heavy iron sword array', the real difficulties are still to come!! ”
"Then I'll wait to see what else you can do!" I said coldly.
"'Heavy Iron Arrow Array'? Cheng Yin, what the hell is going on? You haven't even told us how our troops were able to evacuate the enemy's positions? Lin Yun asked curiously.
"Yes, Cheng Yin, why should I pull out the bow and arrow on the shield and walk freely?" Cui Li also doesn't know why.
"This is actually very simple, I haven't always wondered why the enemy archers' attacks have no effect on our Tiger Shield, but they still keep attacking." I said slowly. The army was already very tired from the attack just now, and it would be half the effort to attack again, so I asked the army to retreat, rest for a while, and wait for the next opportunity to attack, which gave me time to explain.
"Yes, you didn't ask us before, but it may just be that the enemy is trying to slow down our troops, or that we are worried that we will abandon our shields and flee. Therefore, the bow and arrow are used to contain the actions of our army. Lin Yun further analyzed.
Lin Yun's analysis is very special, but if the enemy army just wants to contain the actions of our army, it is not too late to wait for the moment when we abandon our shield before attacking. There is only one answer to why we need to rain arrows all the time.
"What you said is possible, but not all, for example, on the way to the march, there is a soldier carrying a winter cotton coat to march, in fact, the cotton clothes are not very heavy for an ordinary soldier, but when they cross a small river, all the soldiers can cross the river with armor, but the soldier wearing a single coat and carrying a cotton coat on his back can't move, and can only stay in the river alone, why is this?" I explained by asking questions.
"This must be that this soldier is not usually trained enough, so he is not as flexible as other soldiers, so he can't wade across the river." Cui Li's answer made me understand his IQ at once......
"It's a cotton coat, right?" Professor Wu said the key.
"Quilt? I see. No wonder the soldier could not cross the river, not even the strongest soldier. Lin Yun said.
"That's right, it's cotton clothing, although the cotton clothing is not very heavy, but once immersed in water, cotton quickly penetrates the river, and its weight is not a weight that soldiers can carry." I said.
"Even if you're right, what does what you say for a long time have to do with what we're doing on the battlefield? We didn't go into battle with cotton clothes on our backs, and we didn't wade through the river? "Cui Li's IQ makes people anxious.
"Why are you so stupid, it's just a metaphor, it must be that you carry something like cotton clothes on the battlefield. Am I right? Zhao Yuyu said with a big grin.
"That's right, that's it, although you don't have cotton clothes on your back, but you have a tiger shield, and the bow and arrows on the tiger shield are like a river. What stands in your way is the bow and arrow on the Tiger Shield. I said unhurriedly.
"What? Bow and arrow? Cheng Yin, aren't you joking, how much does this bow and arrow weigh? Not to mention a bow and arrow, even if there are many bows and arrows, it won't be impossible for three soldiers to pick it up, right? Cui Li still didn't believe it.
"Of course, if it's just an ordinary bow and arrow, it's naturally fine for three strong soldiers, but what if it's not an ordinary bow and arrow?" I took out my 'heavy iron sword' and threw it to General Wu.
"General, why is your sword so heavy?" General Wu Ban took the sword and said.
"General Wu, how many of these swords can you pick up with your strength?" I asked.
"Several, such a heavy sword, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it if it's two." General Wu Ban returned the 'Heavy Iron Long Sword' to my hands.
"Therefore, the bows and arrows of the enemy archers are not ordinary bows and arrows, but specially made 'heavy iron bows and arrows', the reason why the enemy keeps attacking our army is not to seriously injure our army, nor to contain our army, but to pierce more 'heavy iron long swords' into our army's tiger shield, so that our soldiers will not be able to raise the tiger shield in their hands, just like the soldier who crossed the river with cotton clothes on his back." I replied as I looked at the scarred Tiger Shield.
Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
