384 - Fearless
In this way, Yao Yu and Chen Bing were on the bank of the river, and they were not in a hurry to attack.
After he ordered someone to inform Yao Xin's army in Yichang City that he had arrived to support, he honestly stayed on the shore and confronted Li Xiong.
To be honest, Li Xiong is a real opponent.
Unlike Chen Min and Sima Yue, these two people are both first-class in mentality, good at fanning the flames and demagoguery. But when it comes to battlefield command ability, they are much worse.
Because of this, Yao Yu always seems to be careful when fighting against Li Xiong, trying not to expose his flaws as much as possible.
In the same way, he also believes that Li Xiong thinks the same way.
The two sides are like a clever chess player, constantly testing each other's weaknesses, and even if there is a fight, it is to the point and quickly withdraw the troops.
However, in ten days, the two sides dispatched dozens of troops and horses, and various feints and strange tactics emerged one after another, but they never dispatched a large force of more than 3,000 people to fight.
It seems that both sides understand that it is impossible to defeat each other in one battle, and only through temptation again and again can the other party show their flaws.
Of course, Yao Yu could gather most of Jingzhou's troops and form an absolute advantage to crush Li Xiong on the battlefield.
What's more, the battlefield where the two face off is so big, and if there are too many troops, it won't be spread out at all, and it's a complete waste of energy.
Because of this, Yao Yu rejected Yao Bao's proposal to bring troops to support Yao Bao, Gao Kan, Yao Qing and others, and only ordered Wang Xuance and Lian Jun to come alone.
Just kidding, if Yao Bao and the others came, their troops on the front line would reach a terrifying 50,000.
Although it is a home battle, so many soldiers and horses are gathered together, and it can't be used.
And it's still a huge test for logistics.
After all, there is not much grain in Gangneung City.
Suo Hong is dying of sorrow now, thinking about how to raise grain and grass all day long.
···
The confrontation has been 20 days, during which Lian Jun and Yao Bao's naval army once crossed Li Xiong's blockade line and came to Li Xiong's rear, forming a pincer offensive with Yao Yu, Yong Ju, Wang Xuance and others in the front.
It's a pity that Li Xiong is not in a hurry, he is the son of heaven, he came to the battle formation in person with a sword, and his subordinates fought to the death, cracking Yao Yu's pincer offensive, not to mention, he was still in the melee, and injured Lian Jun.
Similarly, under Li Xiong, it was also the first time that Yao Yu had tried what it was like to fail since he was a soldier.
If Li Xiong quit his troops and did not pursue, then in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, after raising troops, Yao Yu's prestige, who had always been victorious in a hundred battles, would be dealt a fatal blow.
But Li Xiong's mistake was that he defeated Yao Yu's pincer offensive and killed more than 2,000 Yao Yu's troops and floated.
He went up and personally led the army out of the village to fight Yao Yu in the field, intending to capture Yao Yu alive and swallow Jingzhou in one fell swoop.
As a result, Yao Yu's eight formations unfolded, relying on excellent field combat ability and a beautiful defensive counterattack, he brutally defeated Li Xiong's large army and killed more than 3,000 people.
As a result, the low morale of Yao Yu's people was once again high.
On the contrary, the fighting spirit of Li Xiong's department became addicted.
In the Chinese army's account, Li Xiong was still very puzzled, what was the formation used by Yao Yu's department?
Why is Yao Yu in chaos like that, and he can still rely on the 5,000 Chinese army to defeat his own army.
It can't help but be Yao Yu, and even Yao Xin's subordinates will also use this formation.
Could it be that the 120,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, everyone has practiced this formation?
If this is the case, then his plan to annex Jingzhou will be in vain.
No, out of worry, Li Xiong called his prime minister Fan Changsheng to ask.
Fan Changsheng also looked a little uncertain: "This formation seems to be Wuhou's eight formations." ”
"Wuhou's Eight Formations?" Li Xiong paused for a moment: "Didn't you say that with the death of General Ji Han's army Jiang Weicheng, Wuhou's Eight Formation Diagram has been lost." After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the civil and military officials exhausted all kinds of methods, but only restored the effect of less than thirty percent of the eight array diagrams. How could Yao Yu have mastered the Eight Array Diagram? ”
When Li Xiong asked about this, he could be regarded as stumped Fan Changsheng, and he didn't know what was going on.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't, as a native of Shudi, I really know the truth of the loss of the Eight Array Diagram.
Although as Li Xiong said, after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the civil and military officials restored the Eight Formations at the request of Sima Yan, but in the end they only failed to master the three successes.
However, even the power of the failed Eight Array Diagram cannot be underestimated, and Ma Yuan relied on the broken Eight Array Diagram to break the bald tree function of the rebellious Hexi Xianbei leader.
Unexpectedly, such a rumored formation was in Yao Yu's hands.
When Fan Changsheng muttered to himself, Li Xiong also sighed: "China is really capable of producing people. It seems that the unification of the Jin Dynasty has not yet reached the time of severance. ”
As he spoke, Li Xiong shook his head and made up his mind that he would never fight with Yao Yu again.
There are eight formations, and the field battle is not his opponent at all, just a head.
Li Xiong didn't do it, and Yao Yu didn't have the ability to do it.
Because the quartermaster sent the news that it was enough food in the camp to last only five days.
Within five days, if no more food was sent from Gangneung, the army would have to fight hungry.
In this case, he will not be able to guarantee himself, how can Yao Yu dare to continue to attack?
No, Yao Yu could only send someone to Yidu to get grain for backup on the one hand, and send someone back to Jiangling to urge Suo Hong to prepare grain and grass.
···
In the treasury of Gangneung City, there is no food to send.
Banbiao and Suo Hong used all their strength, and finally found out that Kuai Xuan quietly slipped back to Gangneung, intending to transfer assets. So, the two entered Wuyi Lane and negotiated with Kuai Xuan.
If they want to buy food from the family, they will definitely have to pay some price.
No, Banbiao and Suo Hong came to Kuai's house with dozens of official seals, and several guards followed.
However, at this time, the eyes are not eyes, the nose is not the nose, and the height is a little unconvinced.
He snorted and looked over with disdain: "Yo, isn't this the history of the squad leader?" Why, what kind of wind is blowing you here today? ”
Hearing the yin and yang weirdness in Kuai's mouth, the class schedule smiled slightly: "Mr. Kuai, you are serious." Up and down Jingzhou, who doesn't know the name of the Kuai family. ”
Kuai Xuan sighed, and he didn't take the praise of the class schedule to heart at all.
This made He An, the head of the guard beside the class table, dissatisfied, and how many times he wanted to pull out a knife and chop his hair.
He was born in poverty, so he naturally hated a family like Kuaixuan.
But the class schedule did not speak, and He An did not dare to act rashly.
In other words, Kuai Xuan heard the rumors and knew the purpose of the schedule, so he dared to be so fearless.
