Chapter 540: Crisis (100 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
From Shenju in Huainan Province to Tangzhou in Dugi Province, the terrain was open, but from Tangzhou to Shangzhou in Gyeonggi Province gradually entered the mountainous area, and the narrow roads along the way were not conducive to the attack of the army, so after defeating the temptations of Yaluhan and Wulie several times in succession, they simply gave up the attack and took advantage of the geographical advantage to put on a posture of long-term perseverance.

Zhou Bofu led a thousand infantry to curse angrily at the gate of Beiyu Dazhai for a whole day, scolding the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Yaluhan and Wulie, but still did not lure the enemy out; Although the soldiers underground were furious, Yeluhan and Ulie held back their anger and suppressed them.
After several encounters, the 80,000 troops of Yaluhan and Wulie lost more than 10,000, and the casualties of the Jiazhou army were less than 1,000, each time they were defeated and returned, whether it was Qin Shixin's cavalry or Zhou Bofu's Modao team, they caused huge casualties, even if they tried their best to avoid these two teams to meet Li You's light cavalry, but they couldn't get any bargains, and the mandarin duck array composed of various strange weapons made them suffer.
However, Yeluhan and Wu Lie did not give up hope of victory, in their opinion, as long as they could not hold on, the Jiazhou army had no good way to take them, as long as Yuan Zhang took Henan Road and entered from the east, the two armies combined to attack Li You, they would definitely be able to win the final victory, as for the army of the king of Shu lurking in Shannan West Road, they did not pay attention to it at all.
Waiting is extremely beneficial to Yaluhan and Wu Lie, but it is not so optimistic for Li You, of course, he can also choose to increase his troops and wait for the decisive battle with Yuan Zhang, or he can send soldiers into Henan Province to assist King Qi, but these two options are relatively passive and do not meet his needs.
Although the number of Jiazhou troops is close to 150,000, half of them are recruits who have not completed their training, which is extremely unfavorable for Li You, even if he can win in the end, he will suffer heavy losses.
However, if the decisive moment is postponed for a year or two, and the 150,000 army is all completed, then the Beiyu army on the opposite side will not have to worry at all; The current situation is that the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Li You, and the rush to start the war is just in the hands of the northern captives, so now Li You has to find a way to pull out the northern captives camp in front of him no matter what, and defeat the armies of Yaluhan and Wulie in a battle, so that they can't form a two-sided attack with Yuan Zhang.
"The enemy's refusal to fight for a long time, and if they attack, they will inevitably suffer heavy damage, which is not easy to deal with." Luo Shiji looked at the Beiyu camp from afar and said, the army has been stationed here for nearly half a month, and the consumption of grain and grass alone is enough to give him a headache, not to mention the pressure brought by Yuan Zhang's easy attack on Henan Province.
"Phew! On weekdays, they keep saying that their iron riders are unparalleled in the world, but now they have become turtles, shrinking in turtle shells and not daring to come out. Zhou Bofu snorted and said, his throat was a little hoarse these days.
"Why don't we wait for us to pretend to withdraw our troops, attract them to attack, and then kill them back?" Qin Shixin scratched his head and came up with an idea, since the other party refused to come out, then lure them into pursuit.
"No, according to the judgment of the General Staff, now that Yaluhan and Wu Lie should have received orders from Yuan Zhang, even if we retreat, I am afraid they will not send a large army to pursue." Luo Shiji shook his head and said that the General Staff Department had not thought of a similar method, but according to their analysis, the hope of success of this strategy was extremely slim.
"It seems that the only way to attack now is to attack!" Zhou Bofu said unwillingly, now that Yuan Zhang is making good progress in Henan Province, the time left for them is not sufficient, once Yuan Zhang defeats the army of King Qi, presumably he will turn to the west and cut off the back road of the Jiazhou army from Dugi Province, so they must solve Yaluhan and Wulie before this, otherwise I am afraid that they can only temporarily withdraw their troops and return to Huainan Province to find a way, which Zhou Bofu is unacceptable.
"The northern captives have never been good at defense, and now this big camp is well established, but it is not without flaws." Li You finally spoke, through his observation and the role of "Eagle Eye" in the past few days, he has discovered some inappropriateness in the Beiyu battalion, and the reason why he did not immediately launch an attack is to continue to search for greater flaws, "Mr. Luo might as well take the captains of the staff to take a closer look and find more these days, and formulate a more reasonable attack plan." ”
Li You did not tell the staff the results of his observations now, compared to the victory of a war, what he wanted to see was the growth of the staff, of course, if the staff still did not give an answer at the time he expected, then he had to suspend the training of the staff, and Luo Shiji's position might also be considered to change.
"Yes, Lord Lieutenant." Luo Shiji bowed and replied, he already faintly felt a hint of crisis, if he couldn't behave satisfactorily to Li You this time, then his future future would not be good.
Saying goodbye from Li You's side, Luo Shiji returned to the big tent of the staff department, there was a huge sand table in the middle of the tent, and the sand table was the terrain from Tangzhou to Shangzhou, and many staff officers were arguing with the sand table, and they didn't even see Luo Shiji come in for a while.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Luo Shiji's voice interrupted their argument, and the tent suddenly fell silent, Luo Shiji cleared his throat and gave a slap, "Five days, I only give you five days, and within these five days, you must come up with a plan to break through the Beiyu camp and severely damage the enemy army!" Otherwise, your first battle since graduating from martial arts will be lost. ”
Everyone knows that the defeat that Luo Shiji said is not that the Jiazhou Army will lose to the Beiyu, but the defeat of the General Staff, what is the use of the General Staff that cannot come up with a qualified plan? Shi Huaiyi and the others felt a tight heart when they heard this, those who could enter the staff were all smart people, and they would not fail to understand how much adverse impact this defeat would have on them.
"Report to the general, my subordinates plan to go out of the camp to spy on the enemy camp, and I hope General Luo will approve it." There is no way to be in a hurry, someone reacts immediately, knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, and if you want to make a qualified plan, you can't let go of every detail of the combat objective.
"That's right." Luo Shiji stuffed his telescope to Shi Huaiyi, "Be careful not to let the Beiyu catch it." ”
Shi Huaiyi gave a military salute and hurried out of the camp, and the rest of the people also quickly arranged their respective tasks, and they will use their best efforts to solve this crisis. (To be continued.) )
