Chapter 2612: Defeating a Cavalry with Foot and a Strategy
Ruan Fangzhi smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said: "Well, I heard that the dangerous medicines such as immortality were made by the former leader Sun En, and the quantity was very rare. I didn't know that there was such a thing during the Battle of Luoyang.
Although the medicine killed thousands of enemy soldiers and cavalry after using it, all the believers who took the medicine later died of exhaustion. Later, Sun En met the heavenly master in his dream and said that this medicine has the power of heaven and earth.
It's too cruel. The purpose of the divine religion is to heal the world and save people, so it cannot do such an unnatural act, so the following medicine has never been used again."
Speaking of this, Ruan Fangzhi paused: "Presumably Liu Zhenjun fought against Master Lu and the others many times later, and never saw the Immortal Man again."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "If Governor Lu really doesn't use such evil things anymore, it will be a blessing in the world. Well, let's not talk about it. Let's continue talking about the Battle of Luoyang. I just said that this battle is not a positive one.
Field battles, and Murong Yong's armored cavalry is not the authentic Murong family's cavalry. After all, he only brought the old Xianbei tribe from Guanzhong and the Central Plains. Even most of them are not from the Murong clan, and his armored cavalry are just imitations of the former Murong clan's armored cavalry.
The cavalry uniforms are mostly made from equipment in the arsenal of the Qin State, and the use of armored cavalry is far inferior to that of Murong Chui, a master of the art of war, and the power is incomparable."
Wang Shen'ai curled up his lips: "I remember when Liu Zhenjun first joined the army, Murong Lan also used armor and cavalry uniforms to conduct offensive and defensive drills. That drill impressed me deeply. Could it be that you couldn't find it in the end?
Is there a way to crack it?"
Liu Yu sighed: "Murong Lan is the princess of the Yan Kingdom after all. It is impossible to really show me the core combat methods of this armored cavalry. Later, when I was in Yecheng, Murong Chui commanded the armored cavalry and had some battles with me, but the outcome at that time was
It was decided, it was just like a drill. I think he did not go all out, because later in the battle with Murong Yong in Luoyang City, I found that some of his tactics and formation changes were quite different from what I saw. It can be seen that Murong Chui is still
He has hidden a lot of killer moves, and I’m afraid there will still be unexpected situations when we really have to face off against the Yan Kingdom’s cavalry.”
Having said this, he looked at Liu Jingxuan: "Mr. Wugang, you were in exile in Nanyan for more than a year, and you also saw some of their armored cavalry training. What do you think is different from the methods we usually prepare?
?”
Liu Jingxuan said seriously: "Nan Yan's armor and cavalry are all well-deserved. When I was in Nan Yan, I had drills with the armor and cavalry troops led by Yan State generals such as Murong De, Duan Hui, and Murong Zhen. Their tactics changed.
They are versatile and highly maneuverable, which is quite different from what we usually prepare. The most important point is that their armored cavalry mostly use the cover of wind and dust to attack from the sides and rear, and attack the enemy from the front as we originally thought.
, is different.”
Liu Yu nodded: "That's it. When Murong Lan and we were doing the drill, the last-minute assault was filled with smoke and dust. We didn't know where it came from, so Shui Sheng mistransmitted the military order in panic.
It resulted in a tragedy, but the feeling of powerlessness of not being able to see the enemy on all sides, seeing only arrows, being passively beaten without being able to fight back, still comes to my mind from time to time. As a general, a single order may determine the life or death of tens of thousands of soldiers.
, Therefore, how to fight the Nanyan cavalry has been my pursuit for decades. If there is no way and certainty to defeat the enemy head-on on the plains, I will definitely not propose sending troops to destroy the Yan!"
Hu Fan's expression changed and he said anxiously: "Commander, are you able to defeat the Yan army's cavalry head-on on the plain?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Believe me, it is precisely because I have repeatedly practiced tactics that I have this confidence. Of course, this is a military aircraft and cannot be leaked for the time being. If one day we meet the Yan army on the battlefield, we will follow
Please explain in detail. All I can say now is that if a 60,000-strong army encounters a 100,000-strong Yan Army cavalry head-on in the Lunan Plain near Linqu City, I will be sure and confident to defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Liu Yi's voice sounded from behind Liu Yu: "It turns out that you already have a way to defeat thieves. In that case, what else is there to say? I, Liu Yi, believe that you can destroy Yan in one fell swoop. This time
Send troops, others don’t agree, but I agree!”
He Wuji's expression changed and he said anxiously: "Xile, don't be grudgey about this kind of thing. You must speak out of public motives. After analyzing so much just now, the Yan army has various means to fight against us. Even if the slaves have
We are sure of a decisive victory on the plains, but how can the Yan army let go of the natural dangers of Daxian Mountain and take the initiative to let our army enter the plains to fight decisively? If our army mobilizes now and sends troops in April, it will already be May or June by the time we reach southern Shandong.
How could the Yan army give up large tracts of ripe wheat to us when the wheat is ripe? This is not in line with common sense in the art of war. If I were Murong Chao, I would never give up the natural dangers of Daxian Mountain and choose to fight in Linqu."
Liu Yu said slowly: "What Wuji said is in line with the art of war, but Murong Chao's thoughts are not only judged by the art of war. From the perspective of the art of war, if he raids our two counties this time, he can break our entire
The beacon towers in Beiqingzhou provided early warning, and even occupied these beacon towers. From the perspective of military strategy, he should take the opportunity to seize the land of Beiqingzhou, or even take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to raid Pengcheng in one fell swoop. Back then, Lu Meng crossed the river in white and captured Jingzhou.
To fight like this, from a military point of view, if we start a war with Jin Dynasty, we will either not fight or fight a big one, at least with the goal of seizing Jiangbei Prefecture. Wuji, if you are in Murong Chao's position
, will you just grab a handful and run away like you did this time, or will you capture Pengcheng?"
He Wuji pondered for a moment and then laughed: "When you say this, it's true. Although the Hulu have the tradition of grabbing and running away, it was also the case in the north for the Han and Hu people to beat each other's grass and grains in the border areas.
It's a common thing, but since Nanyan and us have a non-aggression treaty, this harassment has also torn up the peace treaty. Instead of doing this, it's better to come with a big force, capture two cities, plunder more than 3,000 people, and then run away.
, if it were me, I wouldn’t do it.”
Having said this, He Wuji breathed a long sigh of relief: "Jinu, when you say this, you must have considered why Nanyan sent troops like this this time instead of defending Daxian. It is also based on the same judgment. I am listening to you now.
analyze."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Because Murong Chao is not a madman. This man could pretend to be crazy and act like a fool in the Later Qin Dynasty, abandoning his mother and wife and fleeing. How decisive and ruthless he was. After arriving in Nanyan, he served the childless Murong Beide.
He was even more filial than his biological father, so much so that within a year or so, he coaxed the old emperor into making him the crown prince. When the old emperor was still alive, he never mentioned taking back his mother, wife and children, and cold-bloodedly
He said that he would just treat them as dead, but as soon as he ascended the throne, he would rather give up his imperial title and become a minister to the later Qin Dynasty. He also handed over the royal band, which symbolized the emperor's majesty, in exchange for his mother, wife and children. Everyone felt that,
