(Recommended reading: Weakening the vitality of the coalition army, hearing the sound, Han Zhitong suddenly realized, and horror inevitably rose in his heart.

The Yan army's combat effectiveness is not weak, and the cavalry is extremely mobile, and it will be a very terrible thing if it really intends to consume the living forces of the coalition army.

However, when Han Zhitong pondered the words of the cold night in Qiu, Wu Jieshao, the general of Cai Guo, frowned and said with a puzzled expression: "General Qiu, in the war, isn't it normal to infinitely expand the casualties of the opponent?" I think that everyone should not be entangled in this matter, and quickly come up with a way to deal with Yan Jun is the most important thing. ”

The Yan army is trying to consume the living force of the coalition army, why can't the coalition army do the opposite and weaken the living force of the other party, Wu Jie Shao's thoughts were a little confused, and he didn't understand the idea of the cold night in autumn.

"Emperor Yan was ambitious, swept the three northern kingdoms and outside the Saiwai, laid the foundation for the hegemony of the Yan State, the army crossed the south to the south, it was a matter of time, and now, the five countries suddenly cut down Yan, so that the Yan army was caught off guard, the victory or defeat was unpredictable, in order to avoid the war, the Yan army suffered serious losses, lost the opportunity to fight for hegemony, in this battle, Emperor Yan will most likely choose to play step by step, using cavalry, terrain, all kinds of equipment, and constantly weaken the vitality of the coalition army, at that time, once the other party Yan army occupies a favorable position, the coalition army will be defeated without a fight, and the Yan country will maintain its hegemonic strength, I think, This is most likely Emperor Yan's true intention. Han Zhitong explained for Qiu Lengye, not only to Wu Jieshao, but also to the generals of the coalition army.

After all, if the Yan army intends to weaken the vitality of the coalition army, the next battle will be very difficult, and it will inevitably encounter a lot of bitter battles, vicious battles, and the deployment of the coalition forces will also need to be changed.

After speaking, taking a sip of tea, Han Zhitong continued: "Finding a way to solve the problem of Yan Qi is a tactical issue, and the Yan army's elimination of the coalition army's vital force is a strategic issue, and the two sides cannot talk about it the same day, but they are both very important, it is related to the victory or defeat of the coalition army, and the life and death of the Yan country, we must have a targeted method." ”

Hearing this, the generals suddenly realized that they understood the words of the autumn cold night, compared with tactics, the big strategy is more important, and it will affect the follow-up war.

At this time, Wen Zhiming, who had suffered heavy losses and was eager for revenge, asked eagerly: "So, general, what is the next way to weaken the strength of Yan Cai?" ”

"General Wen, you should be clear, among the five major armies, only the Shu army fights in the north all the year round, and it is possible to encounter cavalry, so there should be a solution.

Zhang Yuting said, it can be regarded as seeking truth from facts, is it true that only the Shu army is in the north of the army, and it can contact the cavalry.

If even the Shu army does not have a good way to fight the cavalry, how can there be any good way for the remaining four armies.

Hearing this, Wen Zhiming's face was full of shame, and he said helplessly: "In the past, when the Zheng State Iron Cavalry existed, the Shu Army was not their opponent at all, the Iron Cavalry Army was defeated by the Zhao Army and exhausted, so the Shu Army did not have to be afraid of the Zheng Army. ”

"A bunch of wretched!" Hearing this, Wang Zhengwen said indignantly, expressing disappointment with Shu's combat effectiveness in the north.

His heartfelt words, but unexpectedly, they caused Wen Zhiming to be unhappy, and shouted: "Wang Zhengwen, what do you mean, it seems that the Wu army has not been wiped out by the cavalry, the Shu army has a place in the north, what about your Wu army, the battle of Shiyan City, Wu Yue, Cai and Zheng The four-country alliance army was all wiped out, what qualifications do you have to say that this general." ”

Wen Zhiming said very unhappily, the Shu army is incompetent, but it should always be stronger than Wu Yue and Cai, no matter what, it is not something that Wang Zhengwen can blame.

"You ....... Wen Zhiming, old horseman, I, Cai Jun, will make peace with you!" Wang Zhengwen's words were excessive, but Wen Zhiming's words were even more excessive, and all of a sudden, he offended the generals of Wu Yue and Cai, and Wu Jieshao, the general of Cai State, was suddenly furious, and the two generals of Wu Shu were-for-tat, why did they involve Yue Cai.

The battle of Shiyan City is a scar on Cai Guo, and Wen Zhiming's approach is undoubtedly to sprinkle salt in Cai Guo's wounds!

Only Zhang Yuting, the general of the Yue Kingdom, was quite calm, glared at Wen Zhiming, and shouted coldly: "Don't quarrel, the Yan army is outside, there is no solution yet, we should go all out, instead of fighting each other, if everyone wants to fight each other, why not withdraw the army and return to China, everyone will fight separately." ”

did not come up with a solution to the problem, the coalition generals quarreled with each other again, not only Zhang Yuting was angry in his heart, but even Han Zhitong became unhappy in his heart, if he did not stop it, let him quarrel, the situation would spread, and the Wudalian army would inevitably crack again.

Han Zhitong Hongzhong's voice shouted: "Since ancient times, coalition forces have fought battles, no matter how great the momentum is, and rarely succeeds, do you know why?" ”

For a while, there was silence in the tent, and no one answered Han Zhitong's question, but everyone was quiet, and no one quarreled anymore.

The coalition forces often failed in their conquests, and the non-soldiers were disadvantageous and the battles were not good, all because the armies had evil intentions and could not unite as one, and were broken by the enemy one by one.

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and at this time, Han Zhitong said in a very serious tone: "If you want to continue the war, you must abandon the past grievances and grievances, so that the coalition army is twisted into a rope and becomes a force, otherwise, if anyone feels that they don't need to rely on the coalition army and can still defeat the coalition army, then, please lead the army to leave, don't become the black sheep in the coalition army!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals didn't dare to speak anymore, and no one present dared to come forward, and he said confidently that he had the ability to lead the team to defeat the Yan army alone.

Looking at the listlessness of the generals, Han Zhitong couldn't help but sigh secretly, these people fought inwardly to the point that they really solved the problem, and when they faced the strong army, they all became turtles with shrunken heads.

Suddenly, he warned sharply: "Before the Yan army is eradicated, whoever dares to provoke civil strife will be killed!" ”

The generals didn't dare to speak, they nodded their heads one after another, approving Han Zhitong's words, at this time, Han Zhitong continued: "According to the traditional method, except for the stumbling horse, thistle, trapping horse pit, etc., which can restrain the cavalry, there is very little to restrain the cavalry on a large scale in the battlefield. Unless there is an excellent formation, the only way to restrain the cavalry is to ambush, but the coalition forces are in an offensive posture, and the chances of ambush are very slim. ”

The generals were silent, but their thoughts spun at high speed, trying to think about the methods of restraining the cavalry in the ancient books of war, and for a while, all kinds of methods were mentioned, but they were quickly denied.

In the tent, a brainstorming session was taking place on the next deployment of the coalition forces.

After half an hour of fruitless discussion, suddenly, Zhang Yuting slapped his thigh with his palm, and exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, I remember reading a method of infantry restraining cavalry in ancient books!" ”

Suddenly, the generals who were at a loss focused all their attention on Zhang Yuting, everyone wanted to hear what a good way Zhang Yuting had to restrain the cavalry on a large scale, Han Zhitong asked: "General Zhang, if you have any methods, you might as well say it directly."

”

Zhang Yuting got up, glanced at the generals, and pretended to be mysterious: "Have you forgotten that in the Great Xia era, almost all the enemies on all sides started with cavalry, and they were good at cavalry.

I remember that in the Great Xia army at that time, the archers occupied an important position, almost seventy percent, using mixed tactics to resist the cavalry outside the Saiwai, the Great Xia troops, the periphery was full of pikemen, hindering the cavalry impact, the middle was the waist sword and shield hand, the inner side was the archers, with powerful bows and arrows, and well-trained soldiers, to the cavalry dealt a heavy blow, back then, the Great Xia could defeat the cavalry, today, why can't we take the same formation, eliminate the Yan cavalry? ”

After speaking, the generals in the handsome tent exchanged heads and ears to discuss the feasibility of this method, and for a while, the handsome tent became lively.

However, Wen Zhiming looked serious and said bluntly: "General Zhang, Great Xia is too far away from now, in the war back then, it is difficult to determine whether it was against the cavalry outside the Saiwai in this way, maybe it was spread by the people, and we must not play against the Yan army!" ”

His words are not wrong, after the Great Xia, there was the Great Zhou, there were six hundred years of troubled times, during this period, how many classics were destroyed, how many military books disappeared, and the people present were all veterans, if the formation proposed by Zhang Yuting was feasible, why didn't everyone browse it in the military book.

The suggestion put forward was quickly denied by Wen Zhiming, Zhang Yuting glared at the other party very unpleasantly, stopped speaking, and sighed secretly, this method does not work, I will see if you have any good solutions.

At this time, Wang Zhengwen said to Zhang Yuting: "General Zhang's suggestion, I have also heard, I have tried to train this kind of army to deal with cavalry in the Wu army, and it does have good results, but this battle formation has great flaws, the cavalry can take advantage of the victory, take advantage of the situation to cover the kill, after the victory of the infantry, there is no way to expand the results, in addition, the infantry to form a phalanx, need a large number of high-quality soldiers, and severe training, any link problems, the battle formation is not timely, will be shot by the cavalry!" Although the feasibility is extremely high, it is difficult to implement, not to mention the coalition forces? ”

Wang Zhengwen did not deny Zhang Yuting's suggestion, on the contrary, he told everyone that Zhang Yuting's suggestion did exist, but he also made it clear to everyone that Zhang Yuting's suggestion was a passive strategy of defending as an offense, which was very inconsistent with the actions of the coalition army's northern expedition to Yan, but it could defend against cavalry and avoid being deliberately consumed by Yan cavalry.

"General Zhang's suggestion, it is not difficult to implement, the five-nation coalition army is the elite of each country, Wu Yue, Cai Shu and the four armies, what is lacking is close cooperation, time for training, and a battle formation will definitely be formed!" Han Zhitong did not reject his suggestion because of the contradiction with Zhang Yuting, on the contrary, he planned to give it a try, and after finishing his words, he continued: "In addition, this general also has a method to fight the cavalry, which will be implemented in the Chu army, and at that time, the two sets of methods to crack the cavalry attack will definitely hit the cavalry hard. ”
