Chapter 5111 Ambush from all sides in the thunder pool
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Even from a military point of view, I can't use Liu Yi as the vanguard to fight this battle. He was defeated in an ambush before, and it can be said that the entire army was annihilated. If he takes the lead at this time
, whether you are a coach or a vanguard, you will go to two extremes. Either you will rush forward eager for revenge and fall into the enemy's trap again, or you will become hesitant because of the last disastrous defeat and have fear in your heart.
Lose decisiveness and swiftness, and miss opportunities.”
"This is not because I deliberately embarrass Xile, but because he is a very good general. So after experiencing a disastrous defeat, the art of war itself is no longer the most important. The most important thing is his mentality. The better the general, the more
We need to analyze various possibilities and make judgments. Once there are some changes in the mind due to previous defeats, it will affect the general's decision-making. If this decision-making goes wrong, tens of millions of people will die. I can't take this risk."
Wang Miaoyin pondered for a moment: "So you have to take charge personally, use Liu Jingxuan and Xiang Mi as the vanguard, then lead Liu Yi's two brothers with Meng Huaiyu to follow up, and then use the army of Kuai En and Wang Zhongde to attack from the land. You can lead the center by yourself.
The army will follow, and the goal is to join the Jingzhou Army in the Leichi area, and then have a decisive battle in Leichi?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, in order to avoid being flanked by both sides, if the demon thieves cannot divide their troops to block the attack of us and the Jingzhou Army, they will definitely retreat into the Lei Po. On the left side, there is the Lu Village they have already set up.
The waterway at the entrance to the camp is also narrow, like the mouth of a basin, making it the most suitable place for their decisive battle."
Wang Miaoyin laughed and said: "Then you are not afraid that they will split up and defeat the two legions early? Especially the Jingzhou legion, which has at most about 30,000 soldiers and horses, and lacks enough warships. If their whole army goes west again, they will attack Jingzhou first.
Legion, so what?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It's not that easy. This time Yu Yue and Tao Yuanming attacked Jiangzhou, and now they have almost captured the entire Jiangzhou. From Nankang to Chaisang, Yuzhang, these are all large cities and towns along the river.
The fortress can be advanced both by water and land, using land strongholds to protect the navy. Once encountering powerful enemy warships, they can also retreat into these strongholds and defend them with land fortifications. Although the demon thieves are powerful, they have no support from the land.
It can only be like attacking Jiankang City and running rampant on the river, but it will not destroy the Jingzhou Army."
"On the contrary, our Jiankang Army marches all the way west. If their main force is not there, they can even directly attack their thunder pool and the land army stronghold in the Zuoli area. Then the demon thieves will really be unable to advance and retreat, and they will not even have a place to escape.
That's a mistake they won't make."
"As for facing our main force in the direction of Jiankang, they will not give up Liyang, leaving only Fan Chongmin to cut off the rear. Previously, the army attacked Jiankang and besieged it for a year. In the end, they were defeated miserably. Their morale was low and the morale of the army was floating.
It is not appropriate to turn around and fight again at this time. In Leichi, a decisive battle in Zuoli is almost the only option. I must personally direct this battle."
Wang Miaoyin's red lips slightly opened: "What if Liu Yi is allowed to lead the rear army and the heavy troops to advance? How about not letting him stay in Jiankang? What if he launches a coup in Jiankang City and controls the emperor?
How do you deal with the families of soldiers who are under your control and force them to be loyal to you?"
Liu Yu frowned and said: "I haven't considered this issue, but wasn't it the same situation when we were conquering Southern Yan in the north? Meng Chang was the prime minister in Beijing, and he was only a hundred miles away from Beijing.
If the troops stationed in Liyang, Yuzhou, wanted to send troops to seize power while I was away, they would have succeeded long ago by cooperating with the 20,000 underground legions they had in Jiankang at the time. They didn't do this back then, and there is no reason now."
Wang Miaoyin laughed and said: "But this time you didn't even let him participate in the final battle with the demon thief. From now on, he has made it clear that he has no chance of competing with you anymore. He could still compete with you before, but now he is desperate.
Maybe he will take a desperate risk, who knows."
Liu Yu shook his head: "He doesn't dare. Now he doesn't have an underground army in Jiankang, and I won't just let him look after the house alone. I will arrange for his subordinates to go out with me, and some young generals will
He will lead the troops of his headquarters, which is nominally under his control, and will be stationed in the capital. The palace guards will be guarded by you and Fatty's inner guards. As for the major families, they have a large number of children and bankers and private soldiers to accompany the army.
Go on an expedition, that would be like a hostage, let alone respond to Liu Yi's rebellion."
Wang Miaoyin breathed a long sigh of relief: "It seems that I don't need to worry anymore. Brother Yu, you have already thought of various countermeasures. As long as you wait for the final result of the decisive battle between Leichi and Zuoli, I will pray for you.
Over the past year, I have also sent a large number of spies and spies to infiltrate the demon thief's army. If there is a decisive battle, I can arrange for them to shake the demon thief's military morale and cause chaos before the war. Although the demon thief has many troops now
, but the personnel are complex and it is not as difficult to break in as before.”
Liu Yu sneered and said: "This is the result of them attracting a large number of mobs and expanding rapidly. However, this is also a good thing. The mob cannot provide help in terms of combat effectiveness, especially in this kind of decisive battle. They will often collapse first. If it is
I might as well dismiss the majority of useless people and leave only a backbone of 30,000 to 40,000 elite veterans to fight to the death again!"
At this point, Liu Yu suddenly shook his head: "No, no, they don't have so many veteran elites. In the two battles between Jiankang and Ma Tou, the old thieves lost most of them. Now there are 20,000 old thieves. This includes Lingnan."
Fist Man is already good. Therefore, Xu Daofu and Lu Xun can only rely on their large numbers and numerous naval warships to win, at least to increase their momentum. If the army starts to disperse at this time, there will be inevitable consequences.
The ground is collapsing, Miaoyin, you can start creating panic and chaos within the army of demon thieves after we defeat Fan Chongmin. It would be best if we also set up an ambush on all sides for them and a siege at Gaixia!"
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "It seems that everything is already under your control. There is no problem with this. When Xiang Mi and the others succeed, I will arrange it here. There are also many of Mu Zhi's spies in the demon thief army. Presumably he
will do the same thing. However, I still have a big problem here, and that is the Tiandao Alliance. This horse head battle has confirmed one thing, that is, a new big devil has appeared again.
The evil arrow that Xu Daofu used to severely damage the Taoist rules may also belong to the Tiandao Alliance. Our most terrifying enemies are still them." (End of this chapter)
