Chapter 846 The golden cicada escapes from its shell, the lonely soldier in Hedong
"Li Shikai has been too calm these past two days, something is wrong!"
"Loyal Si, lead 20,000 troops and attack head-on!"
"Wang Deren and Ning Bobiao, the left and right wings are feinting to test!"
There was no movement at Li Shi's camp for several days, which made Han Xin vaguely aware that something was wrong.
The news of the Black Cavalry going south was not deliberately concealed, but they deliberately exposed it on their own initiative. It stands to reason that after the other party received the news, they would definitely take action, especially when Guan Zhong took action and captured Lookout Nanpo.
Down.
It's abnormal to be as calm as he is now and not making any moves.
Therefore, Han Xin decisively prepared to test it out.
"General Han, are you afraid that Li Shikai's golden cicada will escape from his shell?" Di Renjie guessed.
"Li Shikai doesn't have that ability yet!"
Han Xin looked extremely arrogant at this time.
Of course, he also has the confidence to be absolutely arrogant.
During this period of time, he had already felt Li Shikai's character and temperament all over.
Generally speaking, Han Xin still admires him very much. When fighting, he is quite decent and doesn't have many outstanding points. But similarly, he basically won't lose the battles that should be won.
If he has such a person as his subordinate, Han Xin will still rely more on such a person. Such a person may not be suitable for being ordered in a critical situation, and let him do something to show off his operations and turn the tables against the wind. However, most of the time, this kind of person is better than before.
The reporter is more trustworthy. At least, he will not make any mistakes that should not happen.
Like the former, it may give you a surprise at a critical moment, but it may also give you a shock at a critical moment.
Military strategists have never said that whoever has more cunning plans is more capable. When two countries compete, their greatest reliance is always on upright soldiers, supplemented by cunning, so that they can win with righteousness and cunning.
Of course, if there is a subordinate like Li Shikai, Han Xin will admire this kind of person very much.
As an opponent, the opponent is not qualified.
As the party being commanded, Li Shikai's qualities are a good thing. But if he is commanding others as a chess player, he is rigid and does not know how to adapt.
As for someone like Li Shikai, if he could let a small number of troops escape from their shells without telling him, then Han Xin did not doubt that the other party had such ability.
But if the other party can escape the main force under his nose, can Han Xin still judge the wrong person after such a long period of time?
And if a small army of golden cicadas escapes from their shells, it will have no impact on the overall situation. With fewer people going, it will be impossible to get back to Wangnan Slope.
Although the power under Guan Zhong and Yu Qian is limited, if the other side really fights for Wangnanpo again, except for the two of them coming up with some strange tricks, judging from the power at their disposal, there is not much hope of defending.
But the problem is that Han Xin sent out all the few thousand cavalry under his command at the first time. Part of the track of the double personnel carrier was within the control of Li Shikai's troops, and he could not directly take the personnel carrier to Wangwang.
South slope.
However, even though the cavalry traveled day and night, it could not affect the overall situation.
And when thousands of his cavalry were rushing to Wangnanpo day and night, even if the opponent really let a small number of troops escape from their shells frequently, it would have no impact on Han Xin.
"Interesting! The opponent's cavalry is gone!" Han Xin made a confident judgment not long after the fight.
"General Han's troops are almost out. If I were Li Shikai and the enemy's cavalry were there, I would harass the general's army!" Di Renjie also nodded in agreement.
Han Xin deliberately sold his flaws. Even if the other party was cautious, he would at least make some probing moves. But there were no probing moves, which is enough to explain the problem.
"Not only that, the resistance of Hedong soldiers and horses is wrong!" As a top military strategist, Han Xin could not escape his observation even if there were some subtle clues.
"It's strange, the soldiers and horses of the Hedong Army before were not so weak!" Di Renjie also noticed this after observing the sand table in Dazang for a while.
On the sand table, I saw the flag and the villain representing the Hebei Army's military formation. At this time, they had moved a full three hundred steps forward.
But a few days ago, with the same attack intensity, they would have advanced hundreds of steps.
Although the Hedong Army had fewer cavalry than before, the opponent's cavalry only accounted for a very small proportion of the total number of troops. Except for Ming Dao's three thousand, the number of cavalry around Li Shikai was less than ten thousand.
Even without this part of the cavalry, the comparison of combat effectiveness before and after has declined, but it cannot be reduced to this level.
However, Han Xin soon knew the reason.
Wang Zhongsi, who was responsible for commanding the front line, also discovered that something was wrong and immediately sent someone to report the situation he discovered to Han Xin.
"No need to fight anymore!"
"In addition, find a way to find out the location of the enemy cavalry!" Han Xin said in a deep voice.
"General, there are still waterways, but don't forget the waterways!" Di Renjie on the side reminded.
Han Xin initially regarded Wang Zhongsi as his back-up man on Ningping Road, relying on waterways.
And a big river connects the land of four rivers in Da Cang. Those who disappeared can also go upstream along the big river and return to the east of the river.
The land of Hebei has always had developed river transportation. Even if the other party does not count the two from the Zhuge family, there are still many top big families in Hebei Province who are attached to Li Shikai at this time. Rather than resisting and letting go, Di Renjie does not doubt that these people are definitely capable.
I can get a few fast boats and return to Hebei by the big river.
"Chief Di is right!" Han Xin also nodded in agreement.
Therefore, an order was immediately issued for Zhou Fang to lead a thousand soldiers on board the ship to pursue him.
Li Cunxiao's old father-in-law, his help was one of the early capitals for Wang Yu to make a fortune quickly. Those helpers were all good hands on the river.
After the two kings merged, some of them were moved to Yanbei and integrated with Gan Ning. However, a large part still remained with the Hebei army. Therefore, if you board the ship to chase some people, you can still pick them out.
Such a good group of people.
The enemy was discovered precisely because Yan Beikuan, Li Xingba and other good soldiers were missing, which made it look like their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the previous days. Han Xin was not in a hurry to launch a fierce attack.
In Han Xin's view, Li Shikai was already a cooked duck. Next, what he wanted to think about was not how to kill the opponent, but how to kill the opponent at the minimum cost.
"Even so, the enemy general may have left for a day or two, and it may be difficult to catch up in time!" Di Renjie said worriedly.
Several of the enemy's most valiant generals abandoned Li Shikai and the army and left alone without them even noticing. It was like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
"It doesn't matter, then how could Li Shikai have thought of..."
