Chapter Ninety-Two: Stable Confidence
Gou Chun came to Gou Xi's military camp in a panic with the remnants of the defeated generals.
Gou Xi looked at Gou Chun appearing in front of him in such an embarrassment, his face was ugly, as if he was about to drip blood.
If this wasn't his own brother, he really wanted to cut him.
The first thing Gou Xi did was to arrange for his henchmen to control the soldiers brought by Gou Chun, and then said to Gou Xi, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"There are too many beggar troops from the north, I didn't notice it for a while, and Linzi City was taken away!" Gou Chun said this, tears also appeared in his eyes, and he said hoarsely, "Brother, I lost Linzi City, I'm sorry for you, you kill me!" ”
"Get out!" Gou Xi kicked Gou Chun hard and said, "Now is the time to talk about this!"
Now it's time to solve the problem first, originally I was still hesitating in my heart how to break Liu Tai, but now it's time to make up my mind! ”
When Gou Chun heard Gou Xi's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In any case, it is really good that Gou Xi can have a solution to the problem.
After all, Gou Xi has always been the Optimus Prime in his heart, and now he is even more majestic.
"You came back in such an embarrassment, you can't hide it if you want to. I'll have to take risks! Gou Xi said in a deep voice:
"I will order a retreat next, and if Liu Tai dares to catch up, then everyone will fight a decisive battle with Liu Tai.
If Liu Tai doesn't catch up, then we will directly recapture Linzi! ”
"Soldiers, can you settle down!?" Gou Chun couldn't help but say worriedly.
"This depends on the prestige I have accumulated through the rigorous management of the army in peacetime, as long as there is no shortage of food, there will be no problems with the soldiers!"
Gou Xi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of Liu Tai,
"Is this the variable you've been waiting for, or is it an accident from heaven?!"
Gou Xi doesn't know and doesn't want to know, the only thing he knows is that he has pressed all the chips at this moment!
To tell the truth, compared to Linzi City, which has been squeezed dry by himself, Gou Xi wants Liu Tai'an to govern Taishan County steadily for a year.
Gou Xi knew that it would not be easy for him to survive even if he recaptured Linzi City, but by taking Taishan County, he not only had abundant food, but also had a superior geographical location.
At that time, whether he continues to go south to seek refuge in Sima Rui, or continue to wait and see the situation in the Central Plains, he will have confidence.
Therefore, Gou Xi hoped that Liu Tai would be attracted by himself and send troops, so he did not hide the withdrawal at all.
Just like this, the news of Gou Xi's evacuation reached Liu Tai as soon as possible.
Because the terrain of the entire Linzi can almost be regarded as a flat river, even if there is a so-called ambush, there will be no way to exert its own strength due to the terrain that the military formation cannot be displayed.
Even if you are ambushed, you will only lose the first move, but if your own strength is enough, you can completely eat it.
So, almost all of them said they wanted to pursue.
Liu Tai's gaze glanced at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Zhou Ping, and said, "You are responsible for commanding the army!" ”
Zhou Ping heard Liu Tai's words and said with a little disbelief, "Leave it to me?" ”
Liu Tai looked at Zhou Ping and said seriously: "In terms of battlefield command, your command ability is the best among all, so I am most relieved that the army will be handed over to you to command." ”
"What about you, General?!" Zhou Ping heard Liu Tai's words, but said with a bit of solemnity.
Liu Tai said: "As a banner, of course I will be with you."
But my independent formations of personal guards will decide to go to war when it is appropriate.
In addition, the cavalry is handed over to Zhao An, and you find the opportunity to cut into Gou Xi's military formation from the flank! ”
"Order!" Zhao An heard Liu Tai's order, but replied decisively.
"General, should I follow you?" Ge Xin couldn't help but say when he heard Liu Tai's words.
"You're a pioneer!" Liu Tai looked at Ge Xin and said quite seriously,
"Regardless of whether Gou Xi really had an accident in the rear and retreated, Gou Xi would definitely arrange means on the way to retreat.
Dress me in thick armor, but don't die! ”
"Hehe, general, just let me go, I just accepted the third concubine, so I am reluctant to die!" Ge Xin replied.
Liu Tai raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say much, and he never cared about their private lives.
After all, all I want is for their style of action to move slightly closer to the PLA, arm them with nationalist ideas, persuade them with military law and discipline, and of course encourage a tolerant atmosphere in the military to care for the team.
It's just that after these guys became captains, they may not have met a good family girl when they married a wife, but they are more active than one by one in taking concubines.
Especially this year after resting in Taishan County, these guys have taken concubines one by two.
The women of this era, when these Qiu Ba revealed that they wanted to take concubines, in this stormy era, the vast majority of women were still willing.
After all, how hard it is to live by yourself, how good it is to find someone to rely on. So Liu Tai didn't say more.
Although Liu Tai didn't really want to admit it, the more he commanded on the battlefield, the more Liu Tai found that his command level was limited.
Liu Tai feels that he has talent in terms of generals, but this talent is not enough.
I can understand the changes in the situation on the battlefield, I have a good sensitivity to the battlefield, and sometimes I can even judge where the key points of the war are, but my battlefield command ability cannot keep up.
When commanding about 10,000 people, he can feel that the rhythm of his soldiers entering the battlefield is not smooth enough.
Looking at the battlefield by yourself, it is a bit like watching the dense battle between the two armies in the instant game, you can only give a general command, and if you want a more refined operation, you will fall into a crowded card position.
But when you command your own personal guards, you are like commanding your own heroic unit, even in a crowded environment, you know exactly where you should appear, where the enemy is weakest, and what your goal is.
Liu Tai had to admit that as the scale of the army under his command rose, he had encountered a bottleneck.
It's just that the excellence of his subordinates conceals the fact that his command ability is limited, which makes his command ability fluctuate around more than 10,000 people.
Of course, Liu Tai realized that his command strength was limited, but the entire army trained by Liu Tai was the best soldier in terms of comprehensive quality in this era.
With Liu Tai's order, the army rushed out like a tiger.
"It's so fast!" Gou Xi couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, looking at Liu Tai's army that had caught up, he couldn't help but be shocked.
In Gou Xi's opinion, this plan was his own gamble, and he was unintentional against Liu Tai, but he didn't expect Liu Tai's army to react so quickly.
"Sure enough, Liu Tai is really my great enemy!"
Gou Xi took a deep breath and asked Gou Chun and Shao Xu, "How is the morale of the soldiers?" ”
Gou Chunkou said, "The morale is quite stable, I think it is my brother who governs the army well, which is enough to compete with Liu Tai's army." ”
When Gou Xi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's fine." ”
At this moment, Shao Xu's expression was a little strange, but in the end, he didn't say anything, after all, it had already reached this situation.
In the end, you need to defeat Liu Tai as soon as possible, as for other things, it really doesn't matter.
In fact, the reason why the mood of the soldiers was relatively stable at this time was that the veterans in Gou Xi's army were conveying their valuable experience to those recruits.
The recruits asked: "Liu Tai's army looks very difficult to fight, the old buddies are worthy of being battle-hardened for a long time, and they are not nervous at all!" ”
The veteran first looked around quite nervously, and then said to the new soldier:
"Don't tell anyone what I said, take it easy when you go to the battlefield.
Fight with Liu Taishan's army, don't rush too hard, don't be too reckless, just save yourself as much as possible! ”
"Aren't you afraid of the military law of assassination, aren't you afraid of defeat?!" The recruit couldn't help but speak when he heard the veteran's words.
"I was captured by Liu Taishan, where I only need to do a little light work every day to have two meals to eat, and the food is much better than what we eat now, if it weren't for the fear that Liu Taishan would not believe it, Lao Tzu would have wanted to take refuge in the past!" The veteran said.
"Is Liu Taishan so good to the captives?!" The recruits were somewhat incredulous.
The veteran continued, "Do you know why the soldiers under Liu Taishan's command are so desperate?
They eat three meals a day, and when they fight, they not only have women but also fields, even if their son Liu Taishan dies, they will help raise them!
You know why the fight on the other side is so desperate, let's fight for a bite of food, what are we fighting for!
So it's okay to fight other people, but when we encounter Liu Taishan's army, we should mix it up, and it doesn't matter if we lose.
And Linzi is not occupied and there is not enough food, and our defeat to Liu Taishan's army will solve everything. ”
"I see, thank you brother for your advice!" Hearing Liu Tai's words, the recruits were a little more clear.
Many recruits finally understood why when they beat Liu Tai's barracks, it was basically those recently recruited recruits who rushed to the front.
On the contrary, the veterans are not impulsive, but they give people a feeling of coping.
Even this kind of coping can't find anything wrong with even the military judges, don't say slow or not, just say whether you rush or not!
In this atmosphere, those soldiers who fought with Liu Tai's army for the first time had more or less a little bottom in their hearts.
Knowing that Liu Tai is a relatively benevolent and righteous person, if he loses and continues to surrender in the past, maybe he will still have a field and a woman!
An army that is not afraid of defeat is naturally quite good at morale.
This made Gou Xi's army particularly emotionally stable, so stable that Gou Xi himself doubted his ability to govern the army.
"The grain was burned, such a big thing can't shake the psychology of the soldiers, and Liu Tai deserves to be defeated!
My ability to govern the army, I'm afraid that I will have a fight with the famous generals of the ancients, and Liu Tai will become a stepping stone for me to help the Jin Court! ”
Gou Xi was in a very relieved mood at the moment, watching Ge Xin and Liu Tai's vanguard chasing after him, and he was already thinking about how to kill him!
However, the area is still too peaceful to say that there is almost no ambush.
Gou Xi still chose the most hard-hitting trick, allowing the archers to shoot a wave of arrows at Ge Xin, who was chasing him, but it was only a wave.
"Kill me!" Gou Xi decisively let his Chinese army take the lead, and Xu Gong and Shao Xu were responsible for the two wings.
Even so, the number of Chinese troops against Ge Xin's vanguard is also an absolute advantage.
Ge Xin's ambush of Gou Xi was naturally prepared for a long time, and because of the terrain, the ambush was only a first move.
This made Ge Xin not have any fear, and the arrows hitting the armor on his body did not cause any damage.
Not only him, but almost all of Liu Tai's army were wearing armor, of course, they were mainly leather armor, and many of them were obtained after the armor of the Gou Xi soldiers who fought with him last time were modified.
So the lethality of this broken arrow shot is really not good!
However, Ge Xin didn't dare to be careless, and the first thing he did was to decisively give an order:
"The formation is stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, the general is behind us, and when the general arrives, we will never give the other party good fruit to eat!"
Between the words, the military formation, which had been accumulated through hard training in peacetime, began to play a role.
The soldiers found their place in the blink of an eye.
The shield-bearers were in the lead, the spearmen were second, the pikemen were again, and the archers were already shooting their arrows outside.
Gou Xi looked at the scene in front of him, he was really angry, the circle array, and the circle like a turtle shell!
Is there still a forward in this world with a round formation? Do you want face!
If it weren't for Linzi, even if it was taken back, there might not be much food, and Gou Xi would definitely not hesitate to turn around and go back to Linzi.
Whoever wants to gnaw on this turtle shell will gnaw on it anyway.
But the reality is that both armies are already fighting, and even if Gou Xi wants to retreat, he can't retreat.
Therefore, Gou Xi began to command his army like waves, constantly attacking Ge Xin's circle formation.
Wherever he came into contact with Gou Xi's army, Ge Xin felt that the army under Gou Xi's command did not look strong like a wave, but in fact it was attacking continuously.
Ge Xin didn't have time to sigh at all in this situation, and his army needed to constantly dispatch and fill the position.
But as long as there is the slightest gap, it will be accurately grasped by Gou Xi, a cantonment team interspersed with the army, stuck the operation of Ge Xin's army, and then another army penetrated into the gap between the operation of Ge Xin's army formation, and continued to jam the operation of the military array.
As more and more troops were stuck in, Ge Xin's outermost soldiers were directly cut off from Ge Xin's military subject, and they fell into Gou Xi's army, and they were eaten clean in a blink of an eye.
Gou Xi commanded layer after layer as if peeling an onion, dismembering Ge Xin's circle array elegantly but swiftly.
If you change to other armies, I am afraid that the first layer will be allocated, and I am afraid that the morale will collapse!
This made Ge Xin regret using a circular formation, whether it was a conical formation or not to fight directly, it would be more advantageous.
But Ge Xin still gritted his teeth, after all, the support would come soon, even if his command was far from Gou Xi's opponent, but the round formation could at least allow him to hold out longer.
Just as Ge Xin's circle was crumbling, a deafening roar was transmitted to the battlefield:
"The army of tigers, one to five!"
With this shout, Liu Tai's main force finally arrived, without any hesitation, except for Zhao An's cavalry, the whole army pressed on!
"Just in time!" When Gou Xi saw this scene, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
