Chapter 4275: Seize the high ground and fight for speed
Liu Yu frowned. It seemed that from Liu Yi's words, he could see the scene at that time. An army of 30,000 demon thieves were lined up in formation, with hundreds of wooden armored mecha machines in front of them, as well as continuous crossbows.
, catapults and other long-range strike weapons, behind these terrible war machines, there are groups of Tianshi Dao armed with short soldiers, drinking various herbs that make people fearless of death, with red eyes and murderous intent.
Swordsmen, and a small number of cavalry covered the two wings, like a big net, trapping the 20,000 Yuzhou Corps of the Beifu Army that had just rushed in.
Liu Yi continued to point with the straw, his hand speed getting faster and faster, just like his speaking speed: "This battlefield is carefully arranged by the demon thieves. There are a large number of wooden armor mechanisms and long-range weapons in the front, and a section in the middle.
The terrain is muddy and crisscrossed by rivers, making it impossible for our army to make a quick assault. To the north is the river bank and to the south is a dense forest. Our army cannot make a detour from the flanks and can only engage the enemy head-on.
Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "The enemy is waiting in full formation. It's obvious that we fell into a trap and were ambushed. Why don't we consider retreating at this time?"
Liu Yi shook his head: "You also know that our army is a heavily armored force. At this time, it is fully armed, with a large shield and a large number of supervisors. When we encounter the enemy, we can only make progress but not
Retreat, otherwise if you retreat when encountering the enemy, and the rear does not know the situation of the battle ahead, and thinks it is a defeat and collapse, then it cannot be prohibited.
Liu Yu nodded: "That's true. It's very difficult to withdraw troops in front of the enemy at this time. In other words, I would seize the nearby high ground and gain terrain advantage.
Liu Yi sighed: "This battlefield has been carefully laid out by the enemy. The three surrounding hills have been occupied by the enemy, and police cars and trebuchets have been placed. Only two hills seem to be undefended. They are leaning toward me.
The north and south wings of the army. I was also afraid that there was a deception, so I sent elite scouts to quickly investigate. As a result, there was no enemy ambush in these two places.
Liu Yu frowned and said, "Something is wrong. In other highlands, there are no ambushes in these two outer hills. Is this a trick to lure you into seizing it so that you can prepare for a decisive battle?"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "If I had to choose again, I would send part of the main force to seize these two highlands and protect the main force in retreating. Even if I abandon two or three thousand troops, I can still get back at least ten thousand troops. Now I regret it the most.
That's it.
Liu Yu said while thinking: "I kind of understand. Did the demon thieves wait for you to seize these two hills before launching a full-scale attack? And directly after a small number of bow police shot, they sent out soldiers to charge?"
"
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "How did you know? Do you have the battle report of this battle at that time?
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "You are the first one who escaped from the battlefield alive and came back to report the news these days. How can I have a battle report of such a annihilation of the entire army? But I can almost think of the monster.
This is a thief's approach, because you overlooked one thing, they have immortal monsters.
A trace of regret flashed in Liu Yi's eyes, and he sighed: "Yes, we lost this battle to these monsters. In the past, when we fought, we fought against people, or against various war agencies, but we lost this battle to these monsters.
This time, I really encountered a large-scale ghost army and evil thing. I calculated that the demon thieves would ambush me, and I calculated that they would have various wooden armor mechanisms, but I just forgot about this layer!"
Liu Yu murmured: "Let me think about it, there were at least two thousand, oh, no, it should be at least three thousand monster swordsmen, lightly armed and quick, holding swords, under the cover of arrows and flying rocks.
Go down and attack these two small slopes. You think that the enemy wants to seize these two slopes. This strengthens your idea of occupying these two places and then fighting the demon thieves to the death, so you also dispatch your elite troops.
The troops covered thousands of archers and took advantage of the short distance to seize these two high slopes.
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "Yes, just like how we captured Garlic Mountain and defeated Sun En in the Battle of Garlic Mountain in Jingkou. In my opinion, this battle may have been the result of the demon thief being overtaken by us during his retreat.
They had no choice but to turn around and form a decisive battle with us, because they rushed to the battle and therefore did not seize all the high ground on the battlefield. When they wanted to fight, they could only seize the high ground first.
Liu Yu nodded: "Although the wooden armored robot is powerful, it moves slowly after all. If you want to use a tank or other vehicle to carry the wooden armored robot to attack, you can't move quickly on this muddy ground.
We have to move forward on the ground, so we can only send out lightly armored swordsmen and charge on foot. And how many steps are you from these two highlands?
Liu Yi said without thinking: "My place is about 350 to 400 steps away from these two high slopes, and the distance between the monsters and thieves is more than 800 steps. Seeing that they divided their forces to attack these two places, I quickly ordered
The archers of the front army quickly divided their troops towards the two highlands, while the cavalry of the front army turned to these two high slopes to cover the archers. The archers of the center army all moved forward to supplement the front army, and all the forward troops
A volley of crossbows does not hit the opponent's crossbow machine, but only hits the opponent's charging troops.
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "It was a very good response to the lack of movement speed of Shigeta's troops. We used cavalry to cover the archers to seize the high ground, and used arch police strikes to slow down the enemy's impact. If it were me, I would probably do the same thing.
Liu Yi nodded: "Not only that, I also sent the eight-oxen crossbow unit of the Chinese army, mounted on the auxiliary horses left by the cavalry, and quickly marched towards the highlands on both sides. I am afraid that the enemy will not be afraid of death and will use all their strength to seize the highlands.
, with only more than a thousand archers, it was impossible to suppress the enemy's impact, and war machinery such as artillery catapults were difficult to transport for a while. Therefore, the Chinese army's eight cow policemen were transported to the high ground. Once eight can be erected on both sides of the high ground,
Oxbows, then even if they attack with heavily armored troops, I won't be afraid!
Liu Yu sighed: "At this time, are the demon thieves just trying to look good? Those catapults, supervisors, and wooden armored machinemen are also firing at full firepower, wildly firing arrows and flying rocks at your front army troops.
, pretending to cover these light swordsmen in attacking the high ground?
"Yes, Liu Yi, the forward force, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: There have been casualties at this time. Liu Fan, the forward force, raised a signal flag to request a retreat and stay away from the enemy's long-range strike range. But I am afraid that the enemy will attack directly.
Our army is facing the front, so they are strictly ordered not to retreat and form a square formation to attack!
At the same time, he ordered the Chinese army to spread out to the two wings and move the flag forward. Once the high ground is successfully seized and the enemy's attack is repelled, prepare for a full-scale counterattack!
Liu Yu frowned. It seemed that from Liu Yi's words, he could see the scene at that time. An army of 30,000 demon thieves were lined up in formation, with hundreds of wooden armored mecha machines in front of them, as well as continuous crossbows.
