The news that six red flags were raised in the city was quickly sent to Liu Xiang by Tiqi.
This is a signal agreed upon in advance. Six red flags means that the entire enemy army is attacking the city, and four red flags means that the defenders in the city cannot hold on.
Liu Xiang has made a plan in advance and will decide the next direction of sending troops according to different situations.
"Order Yan Rou to lead the Hu cavalry, and the more cavalry are in the front, clearing out the enemy scouts along the way, and covering up the news for the march of the army. The rest of the army is behind, abandoning their baggage and speeding up the march."
Under the cover of light cavalry, more than 10,000 troops detoured toward the enemy camp.
At the beginning of the unitary hour, before it was completely dark, the army rushed to the enemy camp ten miles northeast and ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot and prepare for the night battle. Liu Xiang would not rush for thirty miles and then fight the enemy again. He would
Taking advantage of the enemy's fatigue, launch a night attack.
Ling Zhi's army went to a banquet in Tuyin during the day, and it was very lively, so he planned to serve a supper in the evening.
The focus of this plan is physical strength. As we all know, human physical strength is limited, and his goal is to consume the enemy's physical strength. This can be regarded as waiting for work, right?
The army lurked and did not dare to light a fire, so everyone could only eat some wheat cakes and pickles with cold water.
In order to win the favor of the soldiers, Liu Xiang did not dare to do anything special and ate some wheat cakes with them.
In fact, there was no wheat cake in the Han Dynasty. What they ate was wheat rice, which was just grinding the wheat casually to the point of threshing, and then boiling it with the bran. This kind of wheat rice was very coarse, so Liu Xiang ate it.
Once, it hurt my throat and I couldn't swallow at all.
How rough is wheat rice? During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a border guarding army. Because they were only rationed with wheat rice, the soldiers were dissatisfied, so they rebelled.
Liu Xiang was also surprised. Stone mills have been around since the Western Han Dynasty. People in the Han Dynasty could grind beans to make tofu. Why, after hundreds of years, has no one grinded flour to eat?
Therefore, he invented the flour grinding technology, first threshing the wheat, then grinding it into powder with a stone mill, and then sifting out the bran to use as fine material for war horses, while leaving the flour to steam cakes and eat them.
Liu Xiang just liked this kind of invention that had no technical difficulty. With a quick thought, he got the patent, which brought him both profit and fame.
Originally, Liu Xiang wanted to order noodles, but the Han people were too stubborn. They accepted the truth. Of course, if it was made from wheat, it would be called wheat cakes. This was so reasonable that Liu Xiang didn't know how to refute it.
Then call it wheat cake, as long as you are happy.
After eating, the watch was arranged, and the rest of the people rolled out their leather jackets and quilts and fell asleep. That is to say, the veterans could fall asleep, but the recruits were either excited or nervous and couldn't sleep at all.
Liu Xiang couldn't sleep either, so he just lay there with his eyes closed to rest.
The plan has been made long ago and is being executed smoothly. All that is left is the battle formation. Once the battle is approaching, no plans or strategies will count. It only depends on whether the combat equipment is sophisticated, whether the training is hard, and whether the soldiers are working hard. Battle formation
Among them, there are not many that can be taken care of.
The so-called strategy is to create better conditions for the battle in advance, nothing more. Liu Xiang felt that if he continued to realize this, his name would have to be increased. After the great alchemist and the great inventor, he would add a great
Strategist.
Sure enough, people are forced to work. If you don't give it a try, you don't know how capable you are.
He felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief. He had done what he could do, and all that was left was to trust the soldiers around him.
When everyone was asleep, they got up, ate the war meal, replenished the horses with water, and then quietly walked towards the enemy camp.
At three o'clock in the hour, the enemy camp is in sight.
In another hour, it will be daybreak. This is the time when everyone is sleeping the deepest, not to mention that the enemy has experienced a hard battle during the day to siege the city, is seriously exhausted, and urgently needs sleep to replenish his physical strength. At this time, sneak attacks will take advantage of the night to cause chaos.
Complete the beheading of the Chinese army, completely disrupting the enemy's structure, causing the enemy soldiers to panic and collapse.
Then, when it gets bright and the visibility is good, it is time to chase down the defeated soldiers. Therefore, this time period is particularly suitable for turning a surprise attack into a battle of annihilation.
The scouts in the army quietly moved over, eliminated the light and dark sentries on the periphery, and moved forward with their crossbows fired at the camp.
The enemy troops guarding the camp gate were killed one by one by powerful crossbows before they could warn them.
The soldiers guarding the military camp resisted the collision of wood and rushed straight to the camp gate. In a moment, the camp door collapsed. The soldiers who followed swarmed in, moved the antlers away and hid aside, and began to use big axes to open the wall of the camp to expand the entrance.
The infantry entered the camp.
The moment the camp gate opened, Cui Yi led his knights to speed up. As soon as the antlers were removed, 1,200 armored knights rushed into the enemy camp and headed straight for the Chinese army's tent.
Yan Rou led Hu Qi and Yue Qi followed Xiao Qi and rode in. They wanted to provide long-range support for Xiao Qi and protect the flanks.
Liu Xiang led his infantry into the camp and set fires everywhere to create chaos. Every tent in the camp was set alight, and groups of soldiers marched across the camp.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Lingzhi's soldiers finally reacted, but it was too late. As soon as they rushed out of the camp, they were surrounded and killed, and they could not form a formation to resist.
There were flames blazing into the sky all around, and shouts of killing were coming and going. They were as confused as headless flies.
Liu Xiang led a large army of troops throughout the camp. At first glance, he looked like a peerless general who was invincible and invincible. But in fact, he did not capture any enemies. This was the third time he led troops.
Breaking into enemy lines.
Looking at the guards who were surrounding him as tightly as the previous two times, he couldn't help but sigh. Why did he practice riding and shooting so hard every day? It's like this every time. You are trying to stop a sharpshooter.
Growth, do you know?
Will it be recorded in the history books in the future that Anping General Liu Xiang had no power to restrain a chicken, and every time he went into battle, he achieved nothing?
Forget it, he is a sharpshooter who can cross the Yangtze River with a hundred steps, and rides on an angry horse in bright clothes. He must have been poisoned by the novel. Isn't he a good man with such a promising career as the man behind the scenes?
Liu Xiang continued to lead his troops forward while sighing. The enemy was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, unable to stop him at all.
Our army was superior in strength, waiting for work, and attacked the camp at night. The enemy attacked the city during the day and fought hard, suffering heavy casualties, low morale and low physical strength.
What does it mean to be defeated at the first touch? The enemy in the camp now is to be defeated at the first touch. This is the function of the strategy, and it does not necessarily need to be complicated. Just find the enemy's weakness, or create the enemy's weakness, and then beat him to death.
Generals rely on strategy rather than courage, which means that when you are not courageous enough, you have to learn strategy, just like Liu Xiang. If you have courage, you can defeat the enemy at the right moment and be invincible. Everyone has his own merits.
Say something.
War is a winner-takes-all game.
After more than an hour of fighting, everything in the Lingzhi barracks belonged to Liu Xiang.
After a preliminary inventory of the meritorious officers in the army, more than 2,000 enemy troops were killed and more than 3,000 prisoners captured in this battle. About a thousand troops fled. Yan Rou had already led the Qingqi to pursue them. Liu Xiang ordered to pursue and kill them.
Return in ten miles.
The Anping Army suffered very few injuries, most of which were caused by slippery roads in the dark.
After the war, Cui Yi hung Gongsun Yue's head on his waist and talked with joy about the relief of killing the enemy general in battle.
"The enemy general was also a brave man. With a few personal soldiers, he dared to counterattack the armored cavalry formation on foot. I respected him as a person, so I gave him a good fight."
Liu Xiang said anxiously: "Could he have been confused by his sleep, ran in the wrong direction, and crashed into the armored cavalry formation?"
Cui Yi didn't believe it.
"How can there be such a fool in the world?"
Liu Xiangxin said: There are too many idiots in the world. Looking at the history of thousands of years of war, there are many strange characters.
Sometimes he doubted that the so-called war was not about who was better, but about who was worse.
