The military strategy says: if you want to surround it, if you want to attack it, if you want to double it, you can divide it. According to the total force of Tuoba Shanye 14 times that of Li Xian, it should be the best strategy to encircle Li Xian's troops, but
But Tuoba Shanye did not do this and did not seek a chance to fight Li Xian at all. Instead, the 73,000 troops were all strictly guarding their own formation, guarding the tribes, young and old, and guarding them strictly.
The desperate defense posture gave Li Xian a way of responding to all changes. He did not seek merit, but did not seek to make mistakes, and to defend steadily to win.
As soon as the situation happened, Li Xian was hesitant - attacking? Although the five thousand elite cavalry of the Tang army were elite, they were not as elite as possible. If Tuoba Shanye accidentally caught the fighter's plane,
If the fight is not good, the entire army will be wiped out. After all, this is a sand table deduction, not a practical battle. There are too many details that affect the victory or defeat that cannot be reflected on the sand table. Induce the enemy to attack? Obviously, it is not possible. Just Tuoba Shanye's formation,
It is clear that it is important to have Li Xianhe. If you can do not fight, you will not fight, and it is the best strategy to delay it.
What to do? Smoothing, how can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? Although Tuoba Shanye's iron barrel array made Li Xian feel a little tricky, it was far from the point where Li Xian could helpless. In fact, Lin Chengbin and others
When the confidant general fought with Li Xian in the past, he had tried this tactic of not seeking victory but only seeking peace with Li Xian. But so far, no one has seen him defeat Li Xian with such a despicable move.
Yes, if you don’t attack, I will fight. The left and right fighter planes are made, not wait.
The iron barrel formation is good for defense, but weaker than attack. There is a sparseness in hundreds of secrets. This sparseness is in food and fodder, and the same is true at this time. Although Tuoba Shanye has brought his own livestock, he does not need to transport grain from the rear.
The food industry seems to be almost flawless, but in fact it is not. It is just because domestic animals need to be grazed, and hundreds of thousands of large animals cannot be managed by mowing grass. It can barely support it in three or five days. In the long run, not to mention domestic animals.
If you die on a large scale due to lack of exercise, the work of mowing grass is enough to make Tuoba Shanye's entire army exhausted. Without Li Xian's fight, you will have to finish it. The grazing gap is Li Xian's fighter.
Where to be!
Five days have passed, and both sides have no troops to fight, and they each hold their troops unmoved. The difference is that the formation of Tuoba Shanye has not changed and has always been hiding. Li Xian's army is scattered into five thousand-man teams, wandering around the periphery.
The frequent exchanges and mobilizations were carried out, and Tuoba Shanye did not dare to relax at all. On the sixth day, Liu Ziming, as the referee, made a conclusion and determined that the grass near Tuoba Shanye camp had been exhausted and could not be done.
To provide the needs of the army, Tuoba Shanye could no longer conceal it completely, and he had to move even if he didn't move.
Tuoba Shanye is also a ruthless man. Since he had to move, he simply made a big move, but instead of asking for a decisive battle with Li Xian, the whole army was dispatched to protect the clan's old and young people, and the hundreds of thousands of people were grazing livestock.
People always hold together and don’t give Li Xian the chance to attack him. This idea is very safe, but it is not without disadvantages. This disadvantage is that the grass required by hundreds of thousands of livestock is not a decimal. One,
The forage at the core position has been reported within two days
Xin, no longer able to support all the livestock needs, the army was able to score without distinction. In desperation, Tuoba Shanye had to divide his troops, but after seeing his dispatch, tens of thousands of people were divided into three.
The legions are arranged in a font shape, echoing each other from afar. When attacked, they echo two places. It seems to be tight, but in fact there are many loopholes. At least in Li Xian's eyes, the balance of victory has quietly tilted to Li.
Show one side!
The power of cavalry lies in its mobility. Although both sides are cavalrymen, the gap in quality and training is a key factor that cannot be ignored. Li Xianzi, who is in the deep rhyme cavalry warfare, will not let go of such mobilizing the enemy.
The army, thus defeating each of the fighter planes, Tuoba Shanye had just divided his troops, and Li Xian had launched a sudden attack, but after seeing the five Tang army scattered everywhere, he suddenly moved to Tuoba on the right.
The Bashanye Legion launched a strong attack, and with its elite combat power, the right legion was as strong as Mount Tai, and when it was unable to resist, it had to defend the camp to wait for reinforcements.
Attack! As soon as the right legion was attacked, Tuoba Shanye couldn't sit still and had to mobilize the other two legions to launch a large-scale assistance. Each legion divided half of its troops and rushed to the attacked right wing at the speed of a forced army, trying to rely on its troops
The absolute advantage of this, in turn, encircled and annihilated Li Xian's troops, and the action was very rapid. However, before the two armies arrived at the battlefield, Li Xian's troops had evacuated the battlefield without hesitation. According to Liu Ziming's ruling, the Tang army suffered 500 casualties.
Yu, the army on the right side of Tuoba Shanye who was suddenly attacked was injured and killed 4,000 people. Although the losses of both sides were not as bad as the situation, at this time, the initiative in the war was firmly firmly by the Tang army.
Take control in hand.
Attack, attack again, the target was Tuoba Shanye's right legion. Two reinforcements had just evacuated, but Li Xian's troops killed another shot and left with one blow. After this battle, Tuoba Shanye killed two thousand more.
Yu Zhong forced Tuoba Shanye to mobilize some of the troops from the other two legions to make up for the losses of the right legion. In this way, it became a trend of fuel. Li Xian seized the fighter plane and attacked him again.
The legion on the right often evacuated the battle circle before the reinforcements of Tuoba Shanye were dispatched. After several times, it was like cutting flesh with a dull knife, making Tuoba Shanye sad.
Can't hold on anymore. Under Li Xian's repeated attacks, Tuoba Shanye could no longer stick to his original stable tactics, just because he had seen that such strategies could only become victims of the Tang army's erosion tactics, and have a few more rounds
Even if there is no capital to take the initiative, at this time, even if Tuoba Shanye is reluctant, he can only go out and chase Li Xian's troops to death, trying to encircle and annihilate Li Xian on the grassland with ten times the troops
.
Head-on decisive battle? Li Xiancai was not that stupid. Facing the fierce army of Tuoba Shanye, Li Xian refused to respond at all. He led his troops to circle around the vast grassland. After several rounds, Tuoba Shanye's army had been
The suspect soldiers everywhere were involved in a split-cut manner, but they were still unable to catch Li Xian's main force. When he was helpless, Li Xian's main force suddenly appeared in front of Tuoba Shanye's old camp. With just one battle, the troops were empty.
The old camp was completely removed without waiting for Tuoba Mountain
The wild army returned to defense, and Li Xian's troops disappeared mysteriously in the depths of the grassland. At this time, according to Liu Ziming's judgment, Tuoba Shanye's troops deducted the old and weak, leaving only 50,000 troops, while Li Xian's troops
The troops still have more than 4,000 troops, and the gap between the troops has narrowed to eleven times. After deducting the gap between each other's troops, the actual gap is only about four times. Although Tuoba Shanye still has the advantage of military strength, he can take the initiative.
The loss has become the deadly key to Tuoba Shanye.
I was anxious. Tuoba Shanye was really anxious. He had no choice but to gather troops again to protect himself. But just when he mobilized the entire army, the elusive Tang army suddenly broke out from the vast grassland again.
, they came to defeat each one, completely defeating the already broken legion on the right side of Tuoba Shanye, and then rushed to the front and hid in the prairie. After some dispatch, they took advantage of the situation to attack.
After Tuoba Shanye's left-wing camp, he left in one battle. After two consecutive attacks, Tuoba Shanye lost nearly 10,000 troops again, while Li Xian's troops still had more than 3,500 people, and the two sides were as a whole.
The comparison of troops is only ten times. After deducting morale and the gap in the quality of soldiers, the gap in overall strength between the two sides is only two and a half times. By this time, Tuoba Shanye's advantage was pitifully small.
I can't fight, and I can't catch it. Facing the strange marching Tang army, Tuoba Shanye was really helpless, but he could become the "Eagle of Hexi", so he would not be an incompetent person.
In the unfavorable situation, Tuoba Shanye still refused to admit defeat and mobilized the entire army to retreat towards Baituo Ridge. It seemed that he planned to rely on the complex terrain of Baituo Ridge to limit the speed of the Tang cavalry's lateral movement, forcing Li Xian to lead him.
The department faced him head-on.
There are mountains and waters in Baituo Ridge. Although the forage is not too abundant, for the Tuoba Shanye troops, which only have more than 70,000 left, it is enough to supply the needs of the entire army's livestock. Once it is really allowed to retreat.
Baituo Ridge, you can defend the danger and calmly deal with the possible attacks of the Tang army. If this is true, the initiative in the war that Li Xian finally won will inevitably change hands again, and this is obviously not what Li Xian wants.
It is inevitable to react to the situation you see.
For the retreating enemies, pursuit and interception are normal ways to use troops. Li Xian understands this and Tuoba Shanye also knows this. In response to this, Tuoba Shanye has made strict defenses along the way of withdrawing troops, but also arranged for it.
A series of traps and ambush attempts to lure the Tang army to attack, thus gathering and annihilation of the Tang army. Various small means are extremely hidden and cruel. If Li Xian really dares to come, Tuoba Shanye will attack the Tang army.
Absolutely sure.
To defeat the enemy, you must attack. This is an unquestionable fact, but how to attack is very particular. As soon as Tuoba Shanye's withdrawal was revealed, Li Xian had already judged Tuoba Shanye's intentions.
Wherever he was, he immediately divided the troops without hesitation, with five hundred men as a team, and the entire army was divided into seven squads. He only attacked along the way but never attacked. The squads fought and walked, intersected from time to time, and exchanged positions.
The series of dispatching is dazzling. Even with Tuoba Shanye's cleverness, he cannot see through the real meaning behind Li Xian's seemingly useless method. He has no choice but to be careful and be more careful, not to deal with Tang Jun.
He pursued the harassment, and only wanted to retreat safely to the Baituo Ridge area.
Retreat, retreat again, although he was harassed by the Tang army's squad along the way, but relying on the strong forces that were far more powerful than the Tang army, Tuoba Shanye finally retreated to Baituling at the cost of paying more than 2,000 soldiers' lives.
Nearby, as long as you can cross the Huangshui River, you can enter Baitu Ridge, thus completely reversing the passive battle. By then, even though Li Xian had achieved considerable results, he could only accept the draw with his nose.
As a result, at this point, Tuoba Shanye could finally breathe a little, but, this breath was obviously a little earlier. Just when Tuoba Shanye was just relaxed, a sudden change occurred
