When Luo Youdu found out that Li Tinggui was heading towards Fengzhou, he took a long breath and looked at Han Tong and General Shen Shan behind him. In addition to feeling happy, he also experienced the mutual game on the battlefield. They changed their minds and fought according to the situation of the battle. Law, the feeling of constantly seeking a fighter opportunity.
Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape.
"The Art of War" may be profound and difficult to understand, but the great wisdom contained in it can be reflected in war anytime and anywhere.
"General Han, you should immediately lead two thousand soldiers and horses from the south gate to Malingzhai and prepare for battle."
Han Tong clasped his hands into fists and loudly accepted the order.
It turns out that Luo Youdu has been doing business for many years and understands human nature and the basic principles of profit distribution. This opportunity to lead the army was given by Wang Jing and Han Lingkun. If he personally defeated the Shu army under Fengzhou City, all the credit would be attributed to himself. Of course, he became famous in one battle. However, as the third supervisor of the army, he had exclusive benefits.
Brothers still need to settle accounts clearly, otherwise they will not be able to withstand repeated tests.
Not to mention their newly established and untested friendship.
At first, Luo Youdu was not sure of the real situation in Shu and could not prove his judgment with the memory in his mind.
But in Fengzhou, after combining the economic taxation and population growth of Fengzhou City to prove the economy of Shu, Luo Youdu immediately went to attack Chengzhou. Wang Jing and Han Lingkun of Jiezhou compiled a book and wrote his analysis word for word. Detailed watch.
It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not, whether they will send troops or not, but he must write this letter.
Wang Jing, Han Ling and Kun were all familiar with military strategy and approved of Luo Youdu's judgment.
Since Chengzhou and Jiezhou are most likely not reinforced by Shu soldiers, they do not need to lead so many soldiers. At the same time, the opponent's target is Fengzhou, and the pressure on Fengzhou will increase exponentially.
Therefore, the two men once again allocated two thousand troops and horses to reinforce Fengzhou, on the one hand to consolidate the grain road, and on the other hand to get a share of the pie.
Luo Youdu did not let these 4,000 soldiers enter the city directly, but lurked on their way to Chengjiezhou to prevent Li Tinggui from being trapped because Fengzhou had 4,000 more soldiers and had the strength to compete with them.
If he dared to evacuate Fengzhou's troops, he would have included the four thousand soldiers led by Han Tong and Chen Shan.
Luo Youdu did not know the details of the battle in Chencang Road.
But Zhang Jianxiong was lying in ambush in front, and Zhao Ding attacked from behind.
Even though it was three thousand versus five thousand, there was no reason to lose.
As for the three thousand supporting troops of the Shu soldiers, they were not as good as Yang Yuan's two thousand.
What's more, after Zhang Jianxiong and Zhao Jue collected 5,000 Shu soldiers, the three teams of soldiers and horses were combined in one place, and this support force was completely insufficient.
Luo Youdu originally thought that if Li Tinggui dared to enter Chencang Road to rescue him, he would ask Han Tong to sink the mountain to block the entrance and annihilate all the Shu soldiers.
Obviously Li Tinggui was an excellent opponent. He gave up sending troops to rescue and came to Fengzhou instead.
Luo Youdu responded accordingly and sent Han Tong to seize Malingzhai.
Since Han Tong and Chen Shan took over Fengzhou city defense first, Li Tinggui's defeat was doomed.
Li Tinggui led his troops to Fengzhou City, and looked at the generals of Zhou soldiers waiting on the tower, his brows were squeezed together.
Without siege equipment on hand, it is impossible to fight.
There are soldiers in Fengzhou City, and there must be more than three thousand in Chencang Road.
Otherwise it wouldn’t be like this!
Has the opponent increased its troops?
There is only this explanation.
"General Meng, lead your troops to Maling Village immediately!"
Just in case, Li Tinggui decided to prepare an escape route for himself first. Malingzhai was the only escape route from Fengzhou to Xingyuan Prefecture. As long as he controlled Malingzhai, at least he would have no risk of retreat.
Xingyuan Mansion was also a place in ancient Hanzhong.
"General Wu, go support Zhao Yanpu and ask him to withdraw from Chencang Road. I will wait for him at Fenghuang Slope."
"The rest of you, follow me to Fenghuang Slope!"
Li Tinggui impatiently issued three orders in succession.
On the city tower, Luo Youdu watched the Shu army divide their troops and change formations. He slammed his hands on the battlements and said happily: "Finally something went wrong."
Lee Jung Kyu made a fatal mistake at the last moment of the game.
If he, a strong man, breaks off his wrists and abandons everything at this time, leading the remaining soldiers to break out towards Xingyuan Mansion, he will not be able to keep them.
But now he couldn't bear to abandon his troops and wanted to pull them together to retreat together.
This loses the best time to retreat.
"General Shen! Go and pester them, don't let them find favorable terrain. Now they must go to Fenghuang Slope or Western Slope to defend on high ground where they can advance and retreat, to prevent us from attacking him with the victorious soldiers in Chencang Road. He has a chance to form a formation." Luo Youdu discerned the opponent's intentions and issued contingency orders.
Luo Youdu looked at Cao Bin and said, "Do you want to go and practice?"
Cao Bin shook his head and said, "I'll just protect you sir!"
Luo Youdu said to Zhang Qiong: "Then you go ahead and ask General Shen for two or three capitals, and behave well."
Zhang Qiong's hands were already itching unbearably, and she shouted loudly: "I have the order!"
According to the army establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, during combat training, a command unit of 500 people was called a commander. There were five capitals under the command, each with about 100 people. The commander was the military envoy or the head of the capital; There are four teams, each with more than 20 people, and their officers are called ten generals.
Two or three are two to three hundred people, which is just suitable for warriors like Zhang Qiong who have combat experience but are not yet qualified to be generals to accumulate experience.
Regarding Zhang Qiong's request, Shen Shan generously gave him a command.
With Zhang Qiong's plump figure, it doesn't take a test to tell that he is a rare warrior.
"kill!"
Hearing the shouts of killing behind him, Li Tinggui took a closer look and saw a group of soldiers coming out and rushing towards him.
"Damn it!" Li Tinggui yelled and ordered his soldiers to move from the rear to the front and prepare to meet the enemy.
If you let the opponent keep grabbing your butt and chasing you, your morale will be gone by the time you reach Phoenix Slope.
It's better to fight head-on and push the opponent back.
The soldiers led by Li Tinggui were obviously stronger than ordinary Shu soldiers. They reacted very quickly and formed their formations calmly.
"shoot!"
The infantry archer can also fire a volley before the opponent arrives.
The economy of Shu was in deficit and there was no extra money to train strong archers.
They are all infantry, equipped with a short bow and a few arrows.
In terms of power, it is far inferior to that of a real archer, but parabolic arrows still have a certain lethality, which is better than nothing.
The infantrymen of the Zhou army who rushed in the front row had undergone similar training, holding their shields high at an angle to block the door in front of them.
As long as it doesn't hit the face, this kind of arrow can't cause fatal damage.
Sure enough, most of the arrows hit the shield. The unlucky soldier's arrow only penetrated the leather armor and entered the flesh for three points, which did not affect the battle. Unless he was unlucky and hit the knee...
The arrows only caused more than fifty minor injuries to the Zhou soldiers, but did not hinder the Zhou army's assault.
The two armies were in close combat in an instant.
The iron pieces of Zhang Qiong's armor rattled as he moved, which was very funny, but in line with his size, he was like a hammer, slamming into the enemy's formation.
