Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1986
Chapter 1984: The Throne
Zhang Liao didn't expect that at this critical moment, Junshi Jia's tricks would be sent to him. After opening it, he was stunned by the contents.

"Soldiers are expensive and fast? What do you mean?"

Zhang Liao frowned slightly, a little confused about Jia Xu's intentions.

"Why did the strategist ask me to fight quickly? It is obvious that our army has the advantage now. It is more beneficial to fight slowly at this time. Fighting quickly will only increase casualties."

The Qin army who caught up not only had 16 cavalry and [-] elite cavalry, but also a full [-] Qin army behind them.

In this case, it is obvious that the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it is to Tang Jun, but the more beneficial it is to Qin Jun.

Of course, the main reason why Zhang Liao wanted to fight slowly was because the Tang army had turned into a mourning army and had set up a dragon formation to restrain the cavalry.

If it is a quick battle at this time, even if it can be won in the end, it will definitely be a tragic victory.

Not worth it.

Zhang Liao didn't want to destroy his [-] cavalry just to annihilate these [-] infantry

There are only 20 cavalry in the [-] Hebei Qin Army. In addition to supporting Sizhou, they also help Jingbei to fight against Shu and Chu. affected.

Based on this consideration, Zhang Liao couldn't help but shake Jia Xu's heart. After all, Jia Xu didn't come to the battlefield in person, so how can he count everything, maybe he made a mistake this time?

"No, the military adviser hasn't miscalculated so far. Since he deliberately left a kit, it shows that this matter is not as simple as it seems."

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help becoming alert, and began to recall all the details before and after the war.

The war continues.

Xu Huang and Zhang Yun, two cavalrymen, continued to pour arrows into the Longmen formation, and soon fired ten rounds, killing more than 3000 soldiers of the Tang army.

The two small formations of 5000 people each lost more than 500 people, and a large area was vacated, but the Longmen formation did not collapse because of this.

More than one in 10 minutes of soldiers died, but Li Shimin didn't feel bad at all, he still commanded the Longmen formation calmly, passively defending against the Qin army's attack.

Shooting and shooting Xu Huang and Zhang Yun found that there were fewer and fewer Tang troops to shoot, and with [-] feathered arrows in one round, they could only shoot and kill nearly a hundred Tang troops.

This is actually quite normal. After all, those who can be killed have been shot to death. The rest are either hiding behind the shield, or have a bunker, or are too scattered. The lethality of bows and arrows to Tang Jun has been greatly reduced.

After realizing this, Xu Huang and Zhang Yun decisively changed their targets, and led the army straight to the next small formation. After all, they couldn't catch a sheep and pluck its wool.

Xu Huang and Zhang Yun continued to harvest the Tang army little by little, but Li Shimin still didn't respond at all to this, and at least didn't care which soldiers died or died.

"Mr. Sima, your strategy has worked. The Qin army really didn't dare to enter the formation, and could only spend a little bit of our army's strength outside the formation."

Li Shimin smiled lightly and said: "If this battle is won, sir will be the first to make the contribution."

Sima Yi smiled humbly, and said, "Even if Yi didn't say that His Highness would definitely do this, Yi's real contribution is only to help His Highness complete the Longmen Formation."

"This is also a great contribution. With this Longmen Formation, it is equivalent to putting a layer of armor on our army."

A strange look flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and then he said: "The next step is to see if Li Keyong and Zhao She can arrive on time. If they can arrive in time, even half of the [-] troops will be killed by the Qin army." worth it."

Hearing this, Sima Yi couldn't help thinking to himself, Li Shimin is really the hero.

Sima Yi didn't expect that Li Shimin had such courage that he put fifty thousand troops as targets for the Qin army to shoot and kill, but what he did was just to create a chance to win.

--------

On the other side, Zhang He and Xu Huang turned to the next target, and Zhang Liao received the news.

"Report... General Qi, the two generals Xu Huang and Zhang He have shifted their targets and are now attacking Huomen and Huomen."

Zhang Liao, who heard the news, recovered from his contemplation.

Looking at the two cavalrymen who were harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Tang army, Zhang Liao couldn't help but frowned and said, "It's too slow. If the fight continues like this, even if the Tang army stands still, our army will not be able to completely kill the Tang army even if we shoot for two days. Annihilate."

The rest of the generals looked at Zhang Liao suspiciously. He was able to shoot and kill a large number of enemy troops without dying alone. Why are they still dissatisfied with such a good thing?
Zhang Liao also knew that this was a good thing, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Tang Jun just stood still and made himself a target. Is there really no other way to fight back, or is there a deeper conspiracy?
and many more……

Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in Zhang Liao's mind, and he quickly asked the left and right: "Does the Tang army have other cavalry in Sizhou?"

"General Qi, yes, there are a total of [-] cavalrymen from the Tang army who came to invade this time, the most elite [-] were brought to Luoyang by Li Shimin, and the other [-] are currently stationed under the command of Zhao She and Li Keyong. In the area of ​​Yewang and Yiyang."

"what!"

Zhang Liao's eyes widened suddenly, and he finally realized what he had overlooked, and he also understood what Jia Xu meant by "soldiers are expensive and fast".

When the cavalry of the Qin army caught up, although the cavalry of the Tang army could escape, the infantry could not escape, and they could no longer escape. After all, it was easier to cause a rout.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin led the army to stop, and Zhang Liao should have thought that he was fighting to the death.

Afterwards, Li Shimin's various actions, such as: lifting the coffin to boost morale, setting up a large formation at the Longmen Gate, etc., also confirmed Zhang Liao's thinking, thinking that Tang Jun just wanted to die and drag Qin Jun as a backing.

Preconceived ideas, coupled with too many advantages, made Zhang Liao ignore other things. He felt that under this situation, Tang Jun could not come up with any conspiracy, but he didn't know that he had already fallen into Li Shimin's scheme.

The Tang army still had [-] cavalry that could be mobilized, but because Zhang Liao came so fast and in a hurry, even if he mobilized the [-] cavalry, it would be too late to reach the battlefield, and the war would have been over.

Therefore, the real purpose of Li Shimin carrying the coffin to fight to the death and setting up the Longmen formation is not to fight Zhang Liao to the death, but to make Zhang Liao realize that Tang Jun is fast and tough.

Knowing that it is a hard bone, if you still cling to it, you will only knock out your teeth.

In this case, even if a forced decisive battle can be won, both sides will suffer. Although the method of slowing down the battle is time-consuming, it can minimize casualties.

Smart people know how to choose.

Zhang Liao was naturally not an idiot, he made a decision that most smart people would make, but he didn't know that this was exactly what Li Shimin wanted to see.
