Kuai Tou could not see through all of Wang Yu's true intentions, but he also vaguely understood that the Han army did come to attack from a long distance, but they definitely did not have a weak foothold, but did it deliberately.
The cavalry rushing at the front was not to break their own military formation, but to force the cavalry to slow down. To this end, Wang Yu sent two generals, Tai Shici and Wei Yan, to specialize in the joint between the central army and the two wings, so that the main force
Unable to turn as planned. After the speed of the cavalry slowed down, the real killer move of the Han army - the horse sword formation officially appeared.
Kuitou didn't know what else Wang Yu had behind him, but what he saw so far was enough to shock him.
The opponent's strategy is not complicated at all. As long as you have basic military common sense, you can understand it. But understanding it does not mean you can deal with it. The leader is completely unable to come up with an effective method now.
It happened that at this time, Su Li abandoned the army and could not escape, but was beheaded by the Han army. Kuitou was so heartbroken that he was so angry that he was trembling with rage, and his whole body was burning with anxiety.
He grabbed Xu You and shook him violently without any explanation. He shook him so hard that he felt dizzy and then stopped: "Mr. Ziyuan, Mr. Ziyuan, don't you mean that if the Han army cannot form a formation, there is nothing to fear."
What is going on now? What is going on! Come on, come up with something quickly, if this continues, our army will be completely destroyed, completely destroyed!"
Xu You endured the discomfort and cursed the leader over and over in his mind. Then he came to his senses and replied with a sad face: "The Great Chanyu. The Han army is only powerful with crossbows and military formations. This is not what Xu said that day."
Xu told you the whole story of the Gaotang War..."
Xu You was of course aggrieved. His ability was not in the military field. If he had known that the Xianbei people were so inferior to the Han army, why would he have to go to the grassland so hard? Originally, he thought, even if the barbarians were not good enough,
Liu Yu is always capable, even if Liu Yu is not good enough, isn't there still Qu Yi?
He and Qu Yi were colleagues under Yuan Shao. Although they didn't like each other, they always knew each other's abilities. As long as there was no one to restrain him, he was also a talented general. Who would have thought that not long after the war started, Xian Yufu and his gang would be the first to do so.
Liu Yu was used as bait and abandoned.
It didn't matter that Liu Yu was dead. What made Xu You most depressed was that Qu Yi actually wanted to fight to the death and die for his martyrdom. He ignored Liu Yu's repeated summons and just started a decisive battle with Wang Yu in Juma River.
A thousand armies are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. For Xu You during the Battle of Youzhou, this sentence couldn't be more appropriate. Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Zahu combined may not have nearly 300,000 troops, but he
There is no general capable of bringing out the combat power of 300,000 soldiers under his command.
Not to mention a general who can command 300,000 troops, he doesn't even have a general who is truly proficient in strategy and has a deep understanding of military formations and arms.
Kuitou and this group of barbarians have experienced hundreds of battles, but their war experience mainly comes from the Xianbei Civil War. When fighting the Han army, they avoided the important and took the easy. But after defeating Gongsun Zan, they became complacent and thought they were great.
Qian Man refused to admit defeat and retreat honestly at Feihu Road, but insisted on fighting to the death with Yu Jin at Ma Ti Liang. In fact, this mentality played a role.
The annihilation of Qianman's entire army served as a wake-up call to some extent, but the effect was not long-lasting. Xu You also discovered recently that the temperament of the Hu people is really strange. They obviously have a heartfelt sense of awe for the Central Plains, but
What he showed was very arrogant.
Xu You guessed that the Hu people had no choice but to do this.
If they don't motivate themselves and their subordinates in this way, how can they have the courage to come to the border area? As a result, if they motivate themselves, they will deceive themselves. Qianman is the most typical victim. If they hadn't been too poisoned by their elders,
Shen, how could he naively think that Hu Qi could defeat a comparable number of Han troops head-on?
When I thought about the collapse of Qianman's tribe and the details of the Gaotang Battle that I had tried so hard to explain, it fell on the ears of Kuitou and the others, and they actually came to the conclusion that the Han army only had military formations, crossbows and cavalry that were more powerful.
Xu You had the urge to grab the land with his head, and missed Jushou and Qu Yi doubly.
If the person commanding the 300,000-strong army is Jushou, with his command and strategic planning ability, Wang Yu and Gongsun Zan will be able to fight evenly even if they unite sincerely. Qu Yi's overall view of the army is not as good as the former, but if he has the elites he trained
The troops are the backbone, so even in the current situation, there will be nothing to embarrass.
But now... Xu You smacked his mouth, feeling that the bitter taste in his mouth was getting stronger and stronger, until it filled all his senses and was difficult to resolve.
"For the current plan, we can only try to make full use of our military advantage."
"Murong, Tuoba, what do you say?" Xu You's answer was completely unsatisfactory to the leader, so he turned to the two wise men in the clan.
"I'm afraid that's all we can do. If we hit this position, even if we order the men to retreat, they won't be able to retreat." Tuoba Li frowned slightly and replied: "The momentum of the Han army is very strong.
, to force a retreat, I'm afraid tens of thousands of lives will have to be lost here, why not just keep fighting like this, there are many of us after all..."
Seeing the leader's face getting worse and worse, staring fiercely at the rear, Tuoba Liwei suddenly felt guilty. His subordinates were all working behind the scenes. If we were to count the number of people, his people would definitely be the last to appear. No matter if they took advantage of
It is convenient to take advantage of both sides and get out of the way early when the situation is not good.
Looking at the leader's eyes, he might have seen through this. Tuoba Liwei didn't dare to say more, so he quickly changed the subject and diverted the trouble: "Brother Murong, what do you think?"
Murong Feng took a deep look at Tuoba Liwei, with a deep meaning in his eyes, and said thoughtfully: "I'm thinking, if the Han army was fully confident of defeating our 100,000 troops, why did it waste so long in Jixian?
Woolen cloth?"
"Huh?" Kuitou's eyebrows twitched twice, and he heard something about it, "Why? Murong, keep talking!"
Xu You was also moved in his heart. He only used Hu people and looked down on them from the bottom of his heart. However, there were exceptions. The only person who could make him look at him differently was Murong Feng.
Tuoba Liwei and Kuitou are a little clever and can secretly cause troubles and intrigues. Xu You will definitely not pay attention to these little conspiracies. They are all leftovers from his childhood and are not enough to watch.
.
Murong Feng is different from others. He always looks at problems from a much higher perspective than others. It is the so-called high position. For example, when Xu You followed Liu Yu's guide to the grassland to lobby various ministries, the breakthrough was from Murong's ministry.
It was with the help of Murong Feng that his lobbying was so smooth. It took a little more than half a year to achieve an alliance.
Before leaving the fortress, Xu You had a dark eye on the grassland situation. Although Liu Yu helped, he predicted that it would be difficult for the leaders of the various ministries to eliminate the barriers and sit down together to discuss matters within a year and a half.
The civil strife in Xianbei has lasted for twenty years. How can the accumulated hatred and distrust be eliminated in a short time?
Introduce him to the personalities and preferences of the leaders of each department, and introduce them. The assistant who allows him to make targeted lobbying is Murong Feng. Xu You is still not sure who is the leader between himself and Murong Feng.
.Who took advantage of whom?
Even now, Tuoba Li slightly agreed with him because the matter had nothing to do with him. He wanted to see both the Xianbei and Han armies in the central and eastern regions suffer losses, but Murong Feng hit the point with one sentence.
"For a surprise attack? It shouldn't be possible. In just a few years, we can establish such a huge foundation almost from scratch. The person who becomes the leader of the Central Plains will not be so naive and place all his hopes on our stupidity.
On the contrary, he probably wants us to think in this direction and make a choice that is beneficial to him."
The meaning of Murong Feng's words changed several times, which made Kuitou's eyes widen. Tuoba Liwei also half understood, his eyes were blank, and only Xu You understood it.
He felt that what Murong Feng said was probably the truth!
"What is our advantage? We have a large number of soldiers and horses. No, this is not the main reason. If it were just like this, Wang Yu would have sent his army north to confront us head-on. His delay in taking action in Jixian is nothing more than hesitation.
I'm afraid that as soon as his front foot steps away, his back foot will be kicked up and his nest will be raided."
Murong Feng suddenly asked the leader: "Da Shanyu, please think about it, if Wang Yu did not adopt the current method, but sent troops north step by step, how would you respond?"
"Of course..."
Kuitou subconsciously replied: "The old method is to start from Xiguan and send a large number of rangers to harass, delay his journey, and test his true strength. If you find that he is really powerful, then don't conflict with him head-on and let him enter Juyong City."
It doesn't matter. We just need to send a message to Tadun, and then find a way to drag the Han army away. We will take turns to attack and retreat at the first touch. When they have no strength or no food, then..."
Suddenly, his eyes widened in realization: "Murong, are you saying that what Wang Yu is most afraid of is not that he cannot defeat us, but that we will use this move to tire and disturb the enemy and cut off his food supply?"
Murong Feng nodded slightly but did not answer.
"Goddess of Immortality, why am I so confused!" Kuitou slapped himself on the forehead, regretting it: "I have been fooled. Now I have been fooled. Murong, why didn't you come earlier?"
Remind me? If we had known this, why would we have to fight with them?"
"I just thought of this..." Murong Feng said with a wry smile: "If you think about it carefully, it's useless even if you notice it in advance. The Han army is coming fiercely. If our army wants to avoid its edge, we have to retreat. Gongsun Zan can take advantage of it.
Leave Juyong
City. In addition, Wang Yu delayed his appearance until the last moment, so he was prepared. Don't forget, the Yulin army has already arrived at Dai County. If we use normal tactics, we might not defeat Wang Yu, but be defeated by Qingzhou's army.
Three groups of soldiers and horses are surrounding us."
"His!" The leader and others all took a breath of cold air. Who would have thought that the enemy would have such far-reaching plans behind the attack? The people of the Central Plains are indeed very unpredictable.
"Then now..." After a while, Kuitou came back to his senses and asked the story again.
"As Mr. Ziyuan and Mr. Tuoba said, the only way is to fight to the end to see if Qingzhou's soldiers are invincible." The same reply came out of Murong Feng's mouth, but it sounded like he was confident.
, gave Kuitou great confidence.
"Okay, let's do it like this, let's fight!" (To be continued...)
