Great Military Division

Chapter 169 Find fault?You Yuan Shu are still young!
"what?"

Liu Bian frowned slightly, and couldn't help being curious: "Teacher, what's the matter with Xu Rong's cavalry, have they come to play? They walked around and left, thinking they were playing house?"

"Master Bian doesn't understand."

The voice of the military division alliance immediately sounded: "The ancient military experts said that this is a tentative attack by the opponent's cavalry, and it is a performance of the opponent's cavalry acting cautiously, which is very commendable."

"And judging from the direction the opponent chooses to attack, it is indeed a relatively vulnerable point in the army formation, which is enough to prove that the commander of this cavalry has certain military qualities."

"The elite of the Han and Northern Army is indeed stronger than the experts expected, and their overall quality is stronger, but it is by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers."

"If you have to make an evaluation, the soldiers and horses under Lord Bian's command are C-level, the Luyang Allied Army is E-level, and the elite of the Northern Army can definitely be called S-level, or even SS-level."

Liu Bian couldn't believe it: "How is this possible? The troops under my command are so weak that they can only be rated as C-level by experts?"

The Alliance of Military Division replied: "Experts' evaluation of an army is not only based on its chief general, but also on the level of army training, military discipline, soldiers' physical fitness, actual combat experience, weapons and equipment, etc."

"The leader of Master Bian's team is good. He has an absolute advantage in terms of army structure, but the team is too messy, the soldiers' physical fitness is too poor, the training level is uneven, and the actual combat experience is not rich enough."

"Of course!"

In the end, the Military Division Alliance emphasized: "The most important thing is that the military's equipment level is too poor to be compared with the Northern Army. It is more objective to give such a team a C-level evaluation."

Uh.
Ok.

A long way to go.

Liu Bian calmly accepted the expert's evaluation: "C-level is C-level. When it is completely stabilized, we will make targeted improvements. I believe the experts will find a way."

"Ah."

The Alliance of Military Division responded briefly: "There are already experts working on a plan. First draw up the general framework, and then make fine-tuning according to the situation and the situation of the army."

"You don't have to worry about this, just leave it to the experts."

"We still concentrate on the battlefield."

The Alliance of Military Advisors immediately changed the topic and continued: "Er Yuan's offensive failure may not last long. In addition, Xu Rong's command level is beyond expectations, and the development of the matter may deviate from the experts' estimates."

"But don't worry, Mr. Bian. Military experts are already conceiving remedial strategies. If the situation develops to that extent, we can also deal with it."

"The key is you, Master Bian."

The Military Division Alliance emphasized again: "We must withstand the pressure of all parties, especially the pressure from Yuan's disciples and old officials, and buy the experts a certain amount of time."

think carefully.

Yuan Shu's slack strategy must always be implemented.

He has already withstood a round of attacks, and he will definitely use this as an excuse to delay time, and even deliberately find fault with himself, so as to provoke conflicts between Yuan's disciples and former officials.

And Xu Rong's defensive strategy is very appropriate. Even after the consumption of Er Yuan, the actual loss will not be too great. At best, it is just defensive equipment such as arrows, rocks, rolling logs, and kerosene.

If the authority was shaken by Yuan Shu prematurely, or even forced to make adjustments in military strength, it is very likely that because of this, the attack on Guangcheng Pass would fail, and Xu Rong would even cooperate with the outside and break through outside the city.

Liu Bian understood this point clearly: "Experts, rest assured, I will not easily adjust the defense strategy of the military formation. This is the prerequisite for us to remain invincible."

"Ah."

The Military Division Alliance was very satisfied: "You must resist! The difficulty of this strategy is that Xu Rong cannot see the flaws in the adjusted formation. After all, the formation is under his nose, and the opponent is proficient in the art of war."

Even the cavalry commander under Xu Rong's command could attack tentatively and dare not act rashly. Xu Rong's calmness and composure made it even easier. A slight adjustment in the army formation would definitely not escape his eyes.

Since the military division alliance wants to adjust its strategy, there will naturally be corresponding strategies embedded in it. If Xu Rong really sees the clues, and then comes to the tricks, I am afraid that it is still unknown which one will win and which will lose.

Ah!
Must resist!
Liu Bian took a deep breath and secretly warned himself.

Fight hard for a day.

Guangchengguan is still as stable as Mount Tai.

But the dusk was getting darker, and as a last resort, Liu Bian had no choice but to call for gold and withdraw his troops.

as predicted.

Not long after the army returned to the camp.

Yuan Shu led all the princes to the tent of the Chinese army.

Liu Bian put down the book of war in his hand, and glanced coldly at the crowd: "What do you want to do? The lonely king has never played drums to gather generals."

Yuan Shu took the lead in launching the attack, and came out angrily: "Your Highness, today's fierce battle at Guangcheng Pass failed, so what are the arrangements for tomorrow?"

Liu Bian had already expected that the other party would be like this, but he didn't hesitate, and said directly: "If you continue to attack Guangcheng Pass today, the lonely king should beware of Liang County cavalry."

"I"

If Yuan Zhongqiang hadn't been pulling Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu might really explode.

At this moment, Yuan Shu forcibly suppressed his anger, cupped his hands again and said, "Your Highness, after returning to the camp today, the final general will count the battle damage. The casualties are close to half of the soldiers and horses. If we continue to fight fiercely, all the soldiers and horses in our hands will be wiped out."

"So and so."

Yuan Shu let out a gloomy breath, flicked his long sleeves, his eyes widened with anger, and a sullen look appeared on his face, without any concealment: "I'm afraid it's not very good."

The Prime Minister of the Pei Kingdom, Yuan Zhong, followed suit and said, "That's right! Attacking Guangcheng Pass is definitely not my Yuan family's business, it is the business of all the princes of the Allied Army. Why did my Yuan family only make a strong attack, while Your Highness watched the battle from the rear?" ?”

"This"

Yuan Zhongchi asked: "I'm afraid it's unfair? Your Highness, as the commander of the South Road, treats everyone equally. How can he treat my Yuan family differently and use Xu Rong's hand to suppress our Yuan family members."

The second Yuan took the lead in launching the attack, and the former officials of Yuan's disciples naturally followed.

Lu Guoxiang Chen Yi stepped forward, clasped his hands and cupped his fists: "Your Highness, although there is Yuan Gong in Luoyang, attacking Guangcheng Pass is a major task for our army, and it should not be undertaken by the Yuan family alone."

"That's right!"

Another Runan prefect Xu Que came from the station: "Chen Guoxiang is right. Today Gonglu and Zichun have done their best. If it is the same tomorrow, I am afraid that the soldiers will be angry and complain in their hearts. If this happens for a long time, if it leads to mutiny, then they will be killed." It’s not worth the candle.”

Whoops.

Even the mutiny has moved out, who are you scaring.

I really think I can't see it, those fancy intestines in your stomach?

Of course, even if Liu Bian knew it well, he still wouldn't show it on the surface.

He just glanced at everyone calmly, and asked indifferently: "Then I don't know what you want to do? If there is a better way, everyone can propose it. Gu is definitely not an unreasonable person."

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said loudly: "It's very simple! Tomorrow His Highness will be in charge of attacking the city. As for the rear army formation, I, Yuan Shu, can completely do it for me."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian looked at Yuan Shu and said calmly, "Since General Yuan is so capable, I will test the general two questions alone. If the general can answer well, the formation of the rear army will be under the command of the general, how about it?"

Yuan Shu approached aggressively.

I thought that I would never agree to exchange, but I never thought that the other party would answer in this way.

Even Yuan Shu, who was annoyed, subconsciously extinguished his anger, just frowned and said: "Hmph, this general has been familiar with military books since he was a child, is he still afraid of you asking?"

Liu Bian smiled lightly, dismissed it, and immediately turned to look at Yuan's disciples and old officials, and said softly: "If you know, you can also answer, but if anyone understands, you can give up your position in the rear army."

Yuan's disciples and old officials were all shocked.

They seemed to be in disbelief that King Hongnong dared to underestimate them so much.

Extreme arrogance!

It's the extreme of arrogance!
Xu Wei, the prefect of Runan, was the son of General Du Liao, and he was familiar with military books since he was a child.

The most important thing is that he also participated in the war against the Yellow Turban, and his understanding of the art of war is absolutely outstanding among Yuan's disciples and old officials.

Now, Liu Bian actually despised them in his field of expertise.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

Xu Yan's eyes were piercing, and he suppressed his anger: "Your Highness, please give me your advice."

Although Yuan Shu came aggressively this time, it was the first time after all, and while the other party was still able to reason, Liu Bian naturally had to send them back with reason, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with in the future.

"Don't worry."

Liu Bian let out a sigh of relief, got up and came to the tent, and greeted: "Wen Ruo, take out our formation map."

Xun Yu had already prepared: "No."

Immediately.

Serve directly and lay flat on the ground.

Liu Bian pointed to the formation map, glanced at the princes, and said loudly: "According to the information, Xu Rong's cavalry in Liang County is no less than [-] cavalry, which is far better than our army's [-] cavalry."

"There is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of cavalry strength. Therefore, in this battle, infantry must be the main force, and all kinds of equipment must be coordinated to prevent the enemy's cavalry from sneaking into our rear."

"Gu's first question is."

Liu Bian took a deep breath and said very solemnly: "How many coordinated combat methods of infantry and chariots are integrated in this formation, what are they, and what are their characteristics?"

The tactics of infantry and vehicle coordination were basically formed in the Song Dynasty. Although before that, all dynasties always involved more or less, but there was no systematic method of warfare, and most of them relied on the formation method to defeat the enemy.

Even Xu Yan, who is familiar with military books, may not be able to sum up such problems that transcend the times. Even if he can tell some tactics, it may be difficult to describe and summarize them well.

as predicted!

As soon as Liu Bian finished speaking, the eyes of Yuan's disciples and old officials all focused on Xu Jiao, their eyes full of desire and expectation for the answer.

But
Xu Wei frowned, his eyes fell on the formation map for a long time, and he didn't give an answer for a long time, and even tried vaguely: "There should be five types."

His voice dragged on for a long time, and the doubt in his eyes almost made Liu Bian burst out laughing.

Just as Liu Bian was about to shake his head, he was interrupted by Xu Wei himself: "There should be at least five types, and I will allow you to explore them carefully. I wonder if it is possible?"

Liu Bian smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, you think slowly, I'll give you a quarter of an hour, after you think it over, it's not too late to answer."

Immediately.

Liu Bian turned his head back, picked up the book of war again, and looked at it self-consciously, as if he didn't take the former officials of the Yuan family's disciples seriously at all.

Xun Yu, who was standing on the side, snickered, His Royal Highness's move is really amazing, without making a sound, he can make Yuan's disciples and old officials speechless.

Since you don't know how to fight, why do you entrust the army formation to you to defend?
It doesn't make sense!

War is an organic whole.

Each army needs to perform its own duties, so that it can truly play its due role, otherwise, if something goes wrong in one link, it will definitely affect the three armies, causing endless disasters.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Time passed minute by minute.

Although Xu Yan devoted all his heart and soul to the formation diagram, this formation diagram and the military book in his mind are two completely different forms of expression. Although Xu Yan has a foundation in the art of war, it still takes a certain amount of time to become familiar with it.

Coupled with this step-vehicle coordinated strategy, it was originally an existence beyond the times!
In the battle of the big Han against the Xiongnu, Huo Qubing used cavalry to control the cavalry, adhering to the mutual attack idea of ​​"the enemy can go and I can go", and emphasized cavalry tactics such as movement, assault, and frontal assault. Fight enemies on a vast battlefield.

In particular, General Du Liao of the Eastern Han Dynasty was an important structure for maintaining the northern part of the Eastern Han Dynasty, including the northeast and northwest frontier defenses, and handling the government affairs of the northern ethnic groups. The people Xu Shu dealt with on a daily basis were Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Qianghu.

As a descendant of Xu Shu, Xu Yan's way of fighting cavalry was deeply influenced by his father in his mind, so he would naturally fall into a certain fixed thinking mode, which limited his ability to accept new things.

Yuan Shu waited impatiently, adding fuel to the fire: "Brother Meng Yu, is there still no result? You are the son of General Du Liao Xu Shu, if you can't answer, wouldn't it be a shame for your father?"

Yuan Shu was used to being arrogant since he was a child, let alone outsiders, even his own brother Yuan Shao, in his mouth, he was just a slave of a maidservant, but now he was in a hurry, he dragged it to Xu Jiao's father, it was really like a sharp sword, stabbing In Xu Yu's heart.

Xu Yan had no clue in his heart, and when Yuan Shu said this, anger rose into his throat: "I am indeed ashamed of my father's teachings. I think the general has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he must know the tactics of this infantry coordination."

Only then did Yuan Shu realize that he had said something wrong.

But how could the proud Yuan Shu admit his mistakes.

His complexion changed suddenly, and he was very upset with such an unscrupulous guy like Xu Yan.

Fortunately, Pei Guoxiang who was next to him spoke in time: "Brother Meng Yu, Gonglu is also impatient. Don't take it wrong. A quarter of an hour is about to pass. If you see the tactics, stop hiding."

Chen Yi, Prime Minister of the State of Lu, followed suit and said: "Yes, Meng Yu, don't be offended if you calm down the fire. This statement is definitely not the original intention of the road. Let's hurry up and find a way to cooperate with this step, how about it?"

Although Yuan Shu was reluctant, he still bit the bullet and bowed: "Brother Meng Yu, there is a mistake in Shu's words, and if he offends, I still look to Haihan."

Only then did Xu Yan let out a sigh of relief, and saluted Liu Bian, "His Royal Highness's formation plan is indeed exquisite, and Xu has learned a lot, so Xu boldly guessed one or two, and if there is any mistake, I hope His Highness will help you." correct me."

Liu Bian nodded: "Yes."
