Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 215 Lu Meng's Bait
Lai Gong's mouth is very good, Lu Meng saw that he couldn't explain it, so he planned to return to the formation to direct the attack.

When Lai Gong was talking about his excitement, he saw Lu Meng turned around and wanted to leave, and he chattered endlessly afterwards: "There are many heroes in the world, tigers and wolves, but it has nothing to do with Er Jiangdong. If Sun Zhongmou can help the Han Dynasty, the Yushui next to him may will flow backwards."

Lu Meng turned his head and said angrily: "You are only the governor of a remote place, but you have insulted my Jiangdong monarch and ministers several times, and you will die if you are defeated and captured when you are young."

"Hahaha, my ancestors were vassals and kings. You are no more than a warrior, and you dare to shout here? If you lose the battle, you should go home and farm." Lai Gong continued to provoke.

"For you to be stubborn, that's very good. Let's see how you die later, hum." Lu Meng retreated angrily.

Looking at Lu Meng's back, Shamoke looked at Lai Gong in surprise, and praised with great admiration: "It turns out that General Lai still has the ability to argue, so Lu Meng's face turned green after hearing this."

"I'm good at fighting with small tricks and tongues, but I'll have to rely on Chief Sha for the actual battle later." Lai Gong replied shyly.

"Hey, General Gao has made all the arrangements. I've never been so relaxed." Samoke scratched his head and smiled.

After the discussion before the battle, the main generals of both sides returned to the battle and arranged to fight each other.

Lu Meng's side had already started marching with drums beating, while the defenders on the hill remained motionless.

Attacking from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, under the premise that the troops are not completely suppressed, the bottom of the mountain is the disadvantaged side at any time.

Since the Lantian side was condescending, any tactics such as outflanking and roundabout raids by Lu Meng's side could not be used. The cavalry on both sides were guarding against their opponents, so the infantry was fighting on the battlefield.

Shamoko’s barbarians defend with shields in the front two rows, followed by spearmen, archers and even catapults. Ranged soldiers use round-robin intensive shooting, and melee soldiers cooperate with shield spear piercing. Under the advantage of location, all arms cooperate well. Seamless.

Pan Zhang's striker lost 600 people in the first round of attack, while Lu Meng watched the battle from behind and was sweating profusely. In less than an hour, thousands of strikers suffered heavy losses.

Seeing this, Pan Zhang couldn't bear it, and immediately went to the Chinese army to ask for instructions, "General, Lai Gong's defenders occupy a good position, and we can't attack at all. If we continue to attack my forwards by force, we will all die in less than half a day."

"How about Lai Gong's loss?" Lu Meng asked with a frown.

Pan Zhang quickly shook his head, "Those alien races are rough and thick, they stick to their positions and don't move at all. I don't think there are many casualties. We can't fight like this anymore. We have to find a way to lure them down."

"Do you think I don't want to? Just look at the beacon tower on the opposite mountain." Lu Meng pointed to the south and sighed.

Pan Zhang saw that there were different flags waving besides the beacon fire, and he exclaimed: "Could it be that Lai Gong used the semaphore of the navy to land battles? Can anyone understand their semaphore?"

"I don't understand." Lu Meng shook his head.

"Then what should we do now?" Pan Zhang asked again.

"Ming Jin retreats the troops, if the opponent chases down the mountain, immediately attack with the two wings of the cavalry." Lu Meng ordered.

"only."

Pan Zhang hurriedly withdrew the soldiers who went up the mountain, and Ma Zhong led the cavalry to cross and cover at the bottom of the mountain, but the defenders up the mountain were "insensitive" and had no thought of pursuing them at all.

Lantian's tactic is to sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit, adhering to the principle of fighting when the enemy comes and not chasing the enemy when he leaves, and taking leisure to work to the extreme.

Anyway, there is the beacon tower on the opposite side to monitor, and any military operations of the Jiangdong Army are under control. Lu Meng is very uncomfortable with this kind of extreme style of play.

The first battle was unfavorable, so Lu Meng withdrew his troops and returned to camp.

Jiangdong's morale was low, and Lu Meng urgently needed a victory, even a small one, to boost morale.

Seeing the silence of the generals in the big tent, Lu Meng said solemnly: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Today's attack is not going well mainly because the opponent occupies a good location. We must find a way to lure them down the mountain. You generals can speak freely."

Quiet

silence
Breathing sounds in the ear.

Lu Meng looked around at the crowd and found that Pan Zhang seemed to have something to say, but for some reason he didn't speak, so he asked a question: "If Wen Gui has a good strategy, please let me know."

"General, after these few fights, I found that Lai Gong is a very rascal. Unless he has an absolute advantage, he will never take the initiative to attack. It is not easy to bait if you want to catch this fish." Pan Zhang shook his head and replied.

Lu Meng looked at Pan Zhang and squeezed his chin, "The cavalry is highly mobile, how about we use the cavalry to do something?"

"Uh, we have only 2 cavalry with [-] people. Does the general have any good ideas? As long as the problem of the beacon tower on the other side is not resolved, we will always be under Lai Gong's surveillance." Be careful.

Lu Meng knocked on the table and said meaningfully: "Lai Gong can't hold on. If we want to capture the highland in Jiangbei, we can only weaken the fighting power of the defenders. It will definitely not work in the daytime. We can imitate the enemy's attack on the camp."

"The general also wants to use the strategy of exhausting the army?" Pan Zhang asked suspiciously.

Lu Meng asked: "Soldiers have tricks, and the strategy of exhausting the army is not original to Lai Gong. Now I need a cavalry general with a quick mind. Can Wen Gui have such a general?"

Without hesitation, Pan Zhang blurted out, "The military commander Ma Zhong is quite shrewd, and General Lu can entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

"Hurry up and invite me, I will arrange it myself." Lu Meng was overjoyed.

"Wei." Pan Zhang got up and walked out of the big tent.

At dusk, Lan Tian and the generals had dinner.

Several major generals accompanied him for a walk in the camp on the hill. After carefully observing the surrounding geographical environment, Lan Tian had the idea of ​​building a military fort here.

Gao Shun pointed to the beacon tower on the other side and said, "Sir, according to the warning signal on the other side, the cavalry in Jiangdong seems to be acting abnormally."

"I counted carefully before the battle today. There are only a few hundred cavalrymen under Lu Meng's tent. Such a small force can't do anything big. Let's go outside the camp to see if there is nothing wrong with us."

After Lan Tian finished speaking, he and the others rode to the front of the mountain. They saw Lu Meng's cavalry in small groups, running strangely not far from the hill.

How many kittens are there?Lan Tian counted only thirty or fifty riders.

"What are they doing? They are full and come out for a stroll?" Lai Gong asked puzzled.

Gan Ning frowned and reminded, "Lu Meng is not a reckless person, and he would never do such a useless act."

"I'm going to lead two hundred horses to eat these stragglers?" Samoke tasted the sweetness last night, and now he meets Lie Xinxi and volunteers.

After Sha Moke finished speaking, everyone remained silent. Qi Qi looked at Lan Tian and waited for his response.

Lan Tian sensed a hint of conspiracy from Lu Meng's nonsensical actions, and wondered if Lu Meng was fishing for me?
"While it's getting dark, put a semaphore on the opposite observation tower and ask." Lan Tian ordered.

Gao Shun nodded, "I'll make arrangements now."
