Having been brothers for many years, Liu Xiu and Liu Yu know a lot about each other!
Therefore, Liu Xiu knew that Liu Yu had done in-depth research on using feet to fight against cavalry, and even designed a formation specifically for this purpose.
Now, Jiangxia's tens of thousands of cavalry troops are almost on their heads. As a last resort, although this will probably give Liu Yu another chance to breathe, or even allow him to find an opportunity, Liu Xiu still chooses in the end
Please ask Liu Yu to help.
The lesser of two evils, for Liu Xiu at this time, the threat from the Jin army was ultimately greater.
Afterwards, Liu Yu did live up to Liu Xiu's expectations. In the end, Liu Yu deployed less than 3,000 infantry along the river, with a naval force in the river to support him. He fought against A Shu and Xiao Dalin, who totaled 20,000 cavalry, and won a great victory.
Returned and wiped out A Shu and Xiao Dalin with a total of 5,000 Qiang cavalry in one battle.
Of course, although Liu Yu had the ability to defeat the enemy, he did not have the power to annihilate the enemy. With the speed of the cavalry, it would be impossible for Liu Yu to pursue him.
Moreover, once Liu Yu pursues, the formation will inevitably be scattered. If the opponent seizes the opportunity, it is very likely that the opponent will reverse the situation.
Therefore, even though they suffered a huge defeat, A Shu and Xiao Dalin wanted to temporarily withdraw their troops to fight again in the future, but Liu Yu could only sit back and watch them leave.
After putting away the letter, Yue Fei thought for a while and still issued an order for Ah Shu and the others to focus on harassment for the time being, act according to the situation, and avoid direct confrontation for the time being.
Although the specific situation of Liu Yu's Moon Formation is not clear yet, Yue Fei knows very well that as long as A Shu makes full use of their speed advantage, Liu Yu will not really threaten them.
Moreover, with the resistance of Zhu Yuanzhang's 100,000 troops, the opponent had the confidence to fight them head-on even without the Queyue Formation.
At this time, it would be better to hold on for the time being. After he takes care of Wancheng, there will naturally be a real duel between the two sides.
At present, the biggest role of Ashu, Wang Baobao and others is not to attack the enemy directly, but to harass the Zhu and Liu coalition forces in Jiangxia from the side, buying him time to completely solve Nanyang.
……………………………………………………
Wancheng, the atmosphere here is even more solemn.
In the lobby, there were Deng Yu, Du Yan, Ji Li, Xin Huan, Deng Zhong, Zhang Jie, Tao Rong, Liu Long, Geng Chun, Huo Jun, Liu Xian, Fu Xun, Song Zhong, Mou Rong and other civil servants of all sizes.
The general's face was so gloomy that he could almost shed tears.
They have all heard about the results of this battle. Fu Kuang did cause huge losses to the Jin army's siege equipment. However, they still did not burn them all. It was still a huge threat to them.
However, it was hard for everyone to blame Fu Kuang, because the dead person was the most important. What's more, they all knew that Fu Kuang had tried his best. Like Wen Zhong, Fu Kuang died a very heroic death.
After this battle, the 8,000 soldiers brought out by Wen Zhong and Fu Kuang were all wiped out, and Wancheng's military strength dropped to 20,000. The most serious thing is that the death of General Wen Zhong in the battle undoubtedly brought great sorrow to everyone.
His whereabouts added a lot of gloom.
Since then, the white jade pillars holding up the sky in Jingbei and the purple golden beam across the sea have truly been missing!
"General Deng, given the current situation of our army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on for too long. I don't know when the lord's reinforcements will arrive!" Liu Xian's expression changed slightly, and finally he couldn't help but ask Deng Yu.
Based on the situation in Wancheng, if there are no reinforcements, they will be in trouble sooner or later. And the issue of reinforcements has become the most concerned issue among everyone present.
In fact, people like Liu Xian and Fu Xun were famous surrenderers in Jingzhou in history. In history, Liu Cong's surrender to Cao Cao was inseparable from the advice of these people.
The same is true in this world, the strength gap between Jin and Chu is huge, and they are simply unwilling to continue this battle.
However, they dared to persuade Liu Cong to surrender, but they did not dare to persuade Liu Xiu to surrender. As one of the smart people, they knew how to distinguish what kind of person their boss was.
With Liu Xiu's character, if they dared to demote the promotion lightly, Liu Xiu might not do anything to them, but secretly he would definitely choose to attack them.
And Deng Yu was Liu Xiu's die-hard loyalist. In front of Deng Yu, they did not dare to say anything about Kaicheng's surrender. Otherwise, Deng Yu would not mind using the two of them to sacrifice the flag.
Moreover, although they are surrenderers, they cherish their own feathers very much. The people above are unwilling to surrender, and they are not willing to take the initiative to ask for surrender and bear the bad reputation of betraying their master.
Unless someone above them is willing to surrender, they will make plans to follow suit and surrender in order to protect their reputation.
"Don't worry, everyone, Zhu Yuanzhang's 100,000 reinforcements from Yangzhou have arrived. It is said that the King of Shu in Yizhou has sent troops from three directions, and the reinforcements will arrive in Nanjun soon! As long as we hold on to the end, the lord's reinforcements will definitely arrive!" Deng Yu stood up and comforted
Talk to the crowd.
However, having said that, Deng Yu himself felt gloomy in his heart. The Jin cavalry in Jiangxia could not be eliminated. Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu did not dare to send reinforcements lightly, otherwise, once these Jin cavalry cut off their food routes
, not only cannot save Jiang Xia, but even the reinforcements sent out have to go in.
Therefore, in a short period of time, reinforcements are still a thing that has disappeared.
However, what you think is one thing, but how you tell your subordinates is another matter. You must tell these people that reinforcements will arrive to strengthen their resistance. Otherwise, their situation will only be
More rotten.
As soon as Deng Yu said these words, the generals Du Yan, Ji Li, Xin Huan, Deng Zhong, Zhang Jie and Tao Rong did not have any suspicion.
As members of the Yuntai generals, Liu Long and Geng Chun, like Deng Yu, were Liu Xiu's confidants. Regardless of whether they saw it or not, they would not try to undermine Deng Yu.
However, Liu Xian, Fu Xun, Mou Rong and other counselors could see many problems in this, and they did not really take Deng Yu's words as truth. However, even if they saw that there would be
There were some problems, but there was no need to speak out and make Deng Yu unhappy.
What's more, these civil servants are different from those generals. Even after the city is broken, as long as they stay safe, there is a high probability that their lives will not be in danger, and they may even have the opportunity to serve as officials.
If the Jin army wanted to seize the territory they had captured as quickly as possible, the help of these local officials was indispensable.
Therefore, when the two armies are fighting, in some respects, the safety factor of civilian officials is many times better than that of military generals. As long as they are not diehard loyalists who would rather die than surrender, generally speaking, they will not show up even if their side is defeated.
