Chapter 4 Good Plans
When Fusu heard this, he chuckled and said: "General Li Xin rest assured, with General Meng Tian's 100,000 soldiers and horses in front of him, I expect that Wang Li will not dare to act rashly." ”
After that, Fusu slapped the desk and said firmly: "Within three days, I will capture Shangdang." ”
"Color!"
Meng Tian and the generals shouted together.
According to Fusu's strategy, Li Xin led 100,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Shangdang but did not attack, and Meng Tian led 100,000 soldiers and horses to call Wang Li.
And Fusu personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses to march towards Wang Li's flank.
Wang Li's scouts reported the situation, but Wang Li still did a good job of the principle of fixing the position, and did not choose to act rashly.
This root Fusu expected the same, Wang Li used his troops calmly, and once the tactics were determined, he would not change his orders.
He thought that this was because Meng Tian's army was worried about the lack of food and grass and needed a quick battle, so he resorted to a strategy to lead him to a decisive battle.
However, in fact, this is not the case, Fusu just wants to fight this kind of team battle with three packs of two, instead of stupidly fighting 400,000 with 300,000.
The Golden Fire Cavalry is mostly cavalry, and the cavalry is suitable for pulling out the formation, rushing into the enemy formation, and finally in groups of threes, threes, twos, and twos.
Wang Li's Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Army is mostly infantry, well-equipped, suitable for infantry advancement, and the fixed income camp is naturally a good choice.
Therefore, Wang Li did not attack Fusu's 100,000 army.
But he was too cautious, so he let Fusu complete the three-pack two-camp model.
Three camps were thus erected.
Li You and Wang Li had never seen such a method of using troops in the book of war, and they had never heard of this layout.
But Fusu and Meng Tian both knew very well that the cavalry just couldn't nest together, but had to spread out the formation and launch a charge.
Therefore, it makes sense that the 300,000-strong army was divided into three armies and stationed in three camps.
Fusu sent heralds and ordered the soldiers to take turns to rest and eat and drink well.
The army, which is well rested during the day, is especially energetic at night.
Fusu ordered the three camps to light torches to confuse Li You and Wang Li.
In the early hours of the morning, Fusu ordered the whole army of 300,000 to go out, spread out a formation with the momentum of encirclement, and launched a fierce attack on Wang Li's camp.
Because he was the first to know the terrain, the 100,000 troops brought by Fusu destroyed the camp of Wang Li's army from the flanks with hook locks, and then the cavalry rushed in.
At the same time, Meng Tian and Li Xin attacked Wang Li's camp from two directions.
300,000 cavalry against 200,000 infantry, as long as the infantry formation is scattered, then the cavalry can be said to be victorious.
"Kill!"
Wang Li's army camp was rushed into by 300,000 cavalry, and the infantry formation was suddenly chaotic.
Li You, who was stationed in Shangdang, saw the sound of drums and shouts of killing in Wang Li's military village, and the flames were overflowing, so he ordered his lieutenant general to gather men and horses to prepare to support Wang Li.
As soon as the deputy general left, Li You stood on the head of the city and saw the torches of the three camps, and he had some doubts, he suspected that this was Meng Tian's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
After all, the torches of the three camps were lit up, illuminating the sky above the camps, and if they attacked Shangdang while they were just out of the city, they would probably lose Shangdang.
There are countless loads of grain and grass in Shangdang City, and it must not be captured by the rebels.
Thinking of this, Li You chose to avoid the war, and he comforted himself.
"General Wang Li's Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Army is the elite of the empire, and it will definitely be fine."
On the other side, Wang Li couldn't wait for reinforcements, and scolded in the tent.
"Said that each other is a horn, this Li You actually refused to send troops to help me, is his brain sick?"
The king is angry, but the Chinese army must not lose it.
"Order, defend the Chinese military camp."
And Fusu didn't think about fighting with Wang Li, in that case, the casualties would be too great, and the Chinese army Dazhai would be more difficult to capture, so there was really no need for this, and it would only increase casualties.
"Withdraw!"
Under Fusu's order, the Golden Fire Cavalry retreated back to their respective camps, leaving a large number of casualties in Wang Li's camp.
Wang Li sent his lieutenant general to Shangdang City and scolded Li You.
"The momentum of the horns is that the enemy will attack me, you have to come out and rush out from behind and inflict heavy damage on the enemy, otherwise I will camp here, what's the point?"
"I really don't think you can use soldiers."
"If it weren't for your father being the prime minister, it would really not be your turn to be the county guard of the party."
Vice General Wang Li brought Wang Li's words to Li You word for word.
Li You was embarrassed and didn't say anything.
Only then did he realize that those torches were a suspicious tactic, but in fact, there were only a small number of infantry guards in the camp.
Li You regretted that if he took advantage of the rebels besieging Wang Li's camp and sent troops to rescue or attack the enemy camp, they would have won half of the battle.
"It's all my fault for being too cautious."
Li You sighed, and he also politely apologized to Vice General Wang Li.
The next day, Fusu's old tricks were repeated.
And this time, Li You sent an army of 100,000 to support Wang Li.
A scout disguised as a Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Army reports to Li You.
"General Li You, the Golden Fire Cavalry is attacking the Chinese army's camp, if you don't support it again, you really won't be able to hold it."
Li You, who was standing at the head of the city, asked rhetorically, "Didn't I send 100,000 troops out?" ”
The scout reported: "The 100,000 troops were blocked by Li Xin's 50,000 infantry, and they had a geographical advantage, and it was difficult to break through the defense line at all. ”
"Please send troops quickly to support General Wang Li, your lips are cold, General Li You."
Li You thought for a moment, this scout was right, in case Wang Li was destroyed, his 100,000 army would not be able to resist the elite of the Golden Fire Cavalry.
"Order, the army is assembled, do not break the enemy army, and do not return to the city."
Li You decided to break the boat, either defeat the rebels in one fell swoop or be defeated by the rebels.
The stubbornness that was said before is now thrown out of the clouds.
