"It's been three days, haven't those Xianbei people received the news yet? We don't seem to have anything to block? ”
"Could it be that the other party has secretly made a move, and then plans to catch us off guard?"
"But according to the report, it seems that the opponent's forces have no signs of mobilization, nor are they decreasing, and the intensity of the siege seems to have increased slightly.
After a few days of marching, Li Shushi's troops were less than 200 miles away from the county seat of Wuzhou County in Yanmen County, but so far, the troops had not seen a trace of the enemy, and even the Xianbei troops who had been in Wuzhou City as a diversion had retreated to Mayi and joined up with the troops attacking Mayi, as if they were afraid of Li Shushi's troops. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
This is completely different from the other party's appearance when facing Zhang Yi's troops, the Xianbei people in that battle can be described as proactive, using Yinguan City as bait, using Zhang Yi's eagerness to end of Yinguan City to stage a classic encirclement to send reinforcements, if it weren't for the Yanmen in Yinguan City even if Guo Yi went out of the city to respond, I am afraid that Zhang Yi would definitely have died in the line of duty. But even so, the soldiers and horses under Zhang Yi's command have lost five or six out of ten, and most of the people who survived have lost their fighting spirit.
After a battle, the situation in Yanmen, which was already in danger, was even more erosive, and the Xianbei people crisscrossed Yanmen with nothing, and the Han army could only retreat in one stronghold after another, praying that the enemy felt that he was not fat enough to let him go.
Therefore, the contrast between the two can clearly feel the difference in the situation, showing that anyone can smell an unsettling breath in it, but where does this sense of danger come from? Li Shushi and the people around him are distressed.
Li Shushi didn't consult a few military advisors about this, but when he saw their look of "those who should come will definitely come", he knew what this group of guys were thinking, and he had no choice but to make a loose appearance on the outside and tight on the inside, and make the disguise more realistic.
Although he knew from a few unscrupulous uncles that the enemy would definitely come, Li Shushi still hoped that he could analyze some clues through the existing intelligence, which was a good learning process for himself and other generals.
No, when he was resting at night, Li Shushi gathered everyone together and began to study the information in his hand again.
"Or maybe this is exactly what the other party wants to hide, according to the usual practice, it has been attacking for so many days, and the intensity has not increased or decreased, which is not normal in itself, and the other party has not sent a scattered and looting team...... That's right, Raider Squad! ”
After Xu Huang frowned for a long time, his voice suddenly rose as if he had caught some inspiration, and such an abnormal voice also woke up other colleagues who were also thinking about the same problem. For a moment, all eyes were focused on Xu Huang's body.
"My lord, when the Xianbei invaded, they would always send small troops to sweep small dock forts or villages and towns in order to seize the food, iron tools, and wealth contained therein. And this is also an important source of Xianbei plunder, so every time the Xianbei people go south, the troops used in this way of plundering can even account for more than 30% of the total strength of the Xianbei army. According to the intelligence, the Xianbei army showed obvious signs of shrinking, which means that the raiding troops that were originally scattered should also shrink together, but in fact, the number of Xianbei troops besieging the main county town has not changed much. If Akira is not mistaken, there are two possibilities for such an outcome. ”
"One is that the other party directly asked those raiding teams to gather to find trouble with us. Another is that the raiding team secretly replaced the main force of the Xianbei people, and then took us by surprise when looking for an opportunity, anyway, for the officers and soldiers defending the city, the enemy will not notice even if they are completely fresh, after all, faces change every day, right? ”
"What the lord said is exactly what Huang thinks in his heart." Although Xu Huang is very modest, no matter how old a teenager is, it is inevitable that he will be a little complacent in such an occasion where he can stand out among his peers, although Xu Huang has tried his best to calm himself down.
"In this case, we are bound to encounter the main force of the Xianbei army. After all, this head of mine is the best trophy of the Xianbei royal clan, although the terrain here is more complicated, but after all, it still lacks the defensive power of the city wall, and the defenders of Yinguan City have no ability to fight back independently, so please be more energetic from now on. ”
An analysis made everyone's brains break out in a cold sweat - a bloody battle with the Xianbei people in the wild? They are not lacking in courage and blood, but the previous battle losses of up to fifty percent still make them feel uneasy, you must know that the battle losses are still obtained most of the time when the Xihe side is on the attacking side and can calmly choose the route of attack and retreat.
As a result, the already solemn atmosphere became even more breathless, and everyone felt the weight on their shoulders, a burden that hoped that more people would live to see their families.
As the nominal commander of the whole army, Li Shushi once again stepped into the camp where the civilian officials rested.
"Zhongde, Wenhe, you haven't discussed any way, you can focus on the opposite guest and let the other party step into the battlefield we designed."
As soon as he saw Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others sitting together, Li Shushi split his head and covered his face, because these foxes had already discovered this problem a few days earlier, so they obviously wouldn't waste their time in vain these days.
"So what does the lord think if you are the commander of the Xianbei people, where will you choose the battlefield?"
Faced with Li Shushi, who suddenly rushed over and his question, the civil officials sitting around the fire did not explain anything to Li Shushi after saluting, but Cheng Yu asked Li Shushi a question that seemed to have something to do but didn't seem to have anything to do with it.
"Of course, it's a flat plain or basin area, so you can make the most of your mobility. But this kind of thing should be very clear to the enemy, so if you choose to set up an ambush in the mountains, although it is not conducive to the play of your own advantages, you can take the opponent by surprise, and then rely on your own strong strength should also have a good effect. ”
"Then what does the lord think about the strength of his subordinates and troops?" Cheng Yu smiled and continued to ask.
"Hmm...... Because I haven't really experienced the test of a real large-scale field battle, I can't judge it very well. But as long as there is no large-scale panic, then at least it will not collapse as lightly as Zhang Yi's new army. If you fight back desperately, you should be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. It's just that if we talk about defeating the Xianbei troops with the same strength on the frontal battlefield, I think if the other side is not affected by other factors, I'm afraid the victory rate will not be forty percent. And if the terrain is a plain or grassland that is conducive to the play of alien troops, this win rate may need to be lowered. Mountains and jungles may be more beneficial to us. ”
Regarding Cheng Yu's question, Li Shushi was very cautious. Isn't it also said in the book of war that if a general does not understand both himself and the enemy, then defeat is already a predictable result. And if you can understand yourself, you can at least have a certain chance of winning. Li Shushi doesn't look like an incompetent general who is despised by others, so he naturally has to use his brain well.
"Well, although the lord's inference is slightly biased, it does not have much impact on the result. And the key point is clear, so we can move on. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Yu finally agreed with Li Shushi's judgment on the combat strength of the soldiers of Xihe County, at least Zhongde, what do you mean by this surprised and surprised expression, is it possible that you still think that we should actually be a straw bag, it is too much.
"No, I just think that the lord is very similar to those faint kings who only know how to eat, drink and have fun in the history books, so I misunderstood."
"Zhongde, please continue with your analysis just now. Also, it is forbidden to use mind reading or facial expression reading. ”
"The lord has an order, how dare Zhongde disobey." That's what you say, but why do you still feel like you're full of resentment?
"I'm not dissatisfied with the fact that my lord has been talking about the work that originally belonged to me for so many years." Lord Zhongde, please don't sell cuteness here, okay, in addition, it's scary for uncle to sell cute, you warrior of love.
"Okay, since the lord has a pretty good understanding of our combat power, let's take a look at our opponents."
After some tossing, Cheng Yu finally turned the topic back to normal issues. However, after Cheng Yu's teasing, Li Shushi's original anxiety about fighting with Xianbei people in the wild also calmed down unconsciously.
"The lord should know that the Xianbei people are divided into two ways this time, and the purpose is obviously to prove their leadership and unite more Xianbei tribal leaders at the same time, so I immediately thought that in the face of such a piece of fat as the lord, it would be difficult for the head and Qianman to unite."
Li Shushi nodded, this is obvious, if these two people can live in peace, even if Xianbei splits, the Xianbei royal court can rely on the vast and fertile pastures owned by Xianbei in the west to reunite the Xianbei tribes, instead of becoming fragmented under the provocation and external encroachment of people with intentions as it is now.
"Then it is obviously the best policy for both sides to be able to eat our troops independently without suffering too many losses. However, it is not easy to do this, because as the lord just said, even in the plains where the Xianbei people are more favorable, if our army fights to the death, it can still inflict heavy damage on the opponent, then when the time comes, the glory of avenging Helian will become irrelevant because its own strength has been damaged, making the tribe a delicacy in the eyes of other tribes. Based on the intelligence, it is clear that the leader is much more intelligent than his uncle, so we think he should use a more effortless approach. ”
"So is it possible that the leader will use Qianman's forces to consume us first and then come out to pick up the bargain?"
"There is this possibility, but the strength of Qianman's royal court guard is still the best among the Xianbei tribes, that is to say, there are too many variables in it. If the other two people can't work together sincerely, it's easy for us to take advantage of each other, so we can't afford to take such a risk. ”
Oh~ Cheng Yu's current expression is exactly the same as the expression of the actor who played Zhuge Liang in the empty city plan in Beijing Opera.
Seeing Li Shushi's indecent look, Cheng Yu could only shake his head and sigh, as if he had seen Jia Xu's gloating smile behind him.
"Ah~ I'm sorry to bother you." Roho, your expression doesn't feel sorry at all.
However, our Luo Da beauty didn't care about Li Shushi's complaints, she continued as if she was sorting out her hair as if she was very casual: "Some of my children sue me, it seems that there are many~many~ strangers stepping into their territory, and they are not at peace. ”
So, in Luo He's lazy smile full of smiles, Li Shushi and other civil officials began to work hard with chickens and dogs. It looks like it's going to be another sleepless night.
