Han Xiang

Chapter 211 If there are any omissions, please advise
The enemy's bewildering behavior is anti-intellectual at a deeper level, and even Zhang Fei can't figure it out.

But the soldiers came to block the water and soil, and Long Xiang had to face this strange coalition army.

Long Xiang obeyed Liu Ye's suggestion and ordered all the battalions to assemble and stand ready for battle, and the two climbed to the top of the sentry to watch and observe.

The distance between the two armies was only five miles, and there was a vast plain on both sides of Shishui. Standing on the top of the tower, Long Xiang could clearly see the enemy's movements.

The autumn grass on the field has turned yellow, and it has lost the vitality of midsummer. In areas without any shelter, maneuvers such as going around and attacking behind can not be used, and more than ten sentries in the village can see it.

Hefei is seriously short of horses, and the situation of Lei Xu and Zhang Duo is the same. Judging from the speed of the march and the situation of the dust raised, the number of horses will not be more than that of Long Xiang, which shows that the opponent is also mainly infantry.

Long Xiang concluded that the upcoming battle would be a head-to-head and simple fight, fighting for the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, the quality of weapons, and the strength of armor.

Each team that can be pulled out to fight can be assigned at least one weapon, but expensive armor cannot be equipped by everyone.

Lei Xu and Zhang Duo mainly plundered in Huainan, so the rate of soldiers wearing armor was very low.

Except for the Craftsman Battalion of Hefei Fifth Battalion, which was a substitute, the other four main battle battalions were all equipped with leather armor, and only a few generals could have iron armor.

Longxiang has been operating in Hefei for several years, strictly controlling the number of defenders. In addition to redundant staff, which will increase food consumption, soldiers' weapons and armor are also expensive.

The disadvantage of Hefei's military strength can be made up for by protective equipment, individual combat power, and generals' bravery. Therefore, facing an enemy that is several times his own, even if there is no city as a barrier in the wild, Long Xiang is calm and calm, without panic.

After observing for a long time, the enemy has advanced more than halfway.

Liu Ye looked at the enemy not far away, and found that the corps on the left was a bit lazy, and the formation was chaotic and irregular when marching, so he reminded Long Xiang with his fingers:

"Look, general, the enemy formation on the left is not in order, and the gap will be opened later in the battle."

Long Xiang nodded slightly: "That should be Zhang Duo's soldier. He can only bully ordinary people in the Huainan Kouxing Township, and has never experienced a big war. In comparison, Lei Xu's trilogy is much stronger. It is unexpected that he leaves Shouchun has gathered so many plays in just a few years."

Liu Ye frowned and stroked his beard: "Isn't it forced by the situation? Since Yuan Shu's death, Huainan has collapsed like a mountain. Rebels and bandits from all walks of life have occupied the city, and the people have to rely on it in order to survive."

When the two were talking, Zhang Fei, Xu Ding, and Tang Yu all climbed to the top of the tower.

Zhang Fei pointed to the front and yelled: "Yunqi, the enemy has already marched halfway. Our current camp is so simple and crude. We shouldn't be defending in place. When will we attack?"

Long Xiang stretched out his palm to signal Zhang Fei to stop, then turned to ask Liu Ye.

"Since I joined the army at the age of 15, I have never commanded a field battle of this scale. If there are any omissions in the deployment later, sir, please point them out to me in time."

"The general can act with confidence. The soldiers in Hefei are well-trained. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with this mob."

After Liu Ye encouraged Long Xiang, he pointed at Zhang Fei and said with a smile, "General Zhang has rich experience in battle, he has more right to speak than me."

Hearing Liu Ye's praise, Zhang Fei scratched his head and laughed: "I used to go out with my elder brother, and I only knew how to lead troops to charge into battle, so I don't have any right to speak."

Long Xiang looked at Zhang Fei and nodded slightly. He knew that Liu Bei used to command by himself.

At this time, the third master has not yet practiced to the level of defeating Zhang Xi alone in the later stage, so his opinion is not worth referring to.

"Zi Yang was right just now. Zhang Duo's formation on the left is slack, so let's use him to defeat the enemy today."

Long Xiang paused, then asked Zhang Fei: "Didn't Yide want to imitate General Guan's White Horse Battle? I'll give you a chance today. I'll lead the main force to contain the enemy and attract the attention of the two enemy troops. You Lead all the cavalry to the flanks to stand by, and then break into the formation to break up the formation. I asked Xu Wei to take two hundred tiger guards to respond. As long as we can cause chaos among the enemy troops, we can take advantage of the situation and defeat them."

"Is it enough to cause chaos? I want to take the lives of Lei Xu and Zhang Duo."

Zhang Fei clenched his fist and shook it, and then secretly challenged Guan Yu.

A real war is different from a game. If there is no hatred between the two sides, otherwise there will be no single soldier killed, and the enemy will not be slaughtered. Generally, if the battle damage exceeds [-]%, it is necessary to consider withdrawing troops, otherwise If you continue to fight, you will be completely defeated.

The construction of Hefei New City is imminent, and it is very helpful for the progress of the project to capture thousands of young and strong people for construction.

Long Xiang said solemnly: "It would be best if Yide can kill the general, but if he meets Lei Xu, it's best to capture him alive. He and I can be regarded as comrades in arms. If we can persuade him to surrender, we can surrender his trilogy. To reduce killings, I can also harvest some captives for my use."

"Once the fight starts, I won't know who Lei Xu is. No matter Zhang Duo or Lei Xu, I'll capture them together for you."

Zhang Fei patted his chest and acted very proudly.

Long Xiang hurriedly waved his hands to dissuade him: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. If there is no condition to capture him alive, Yide can do whatever he wants, otherwise he will be tied up."

Zhang Fei replied seriously: "I know it well."

Long Xiang was noncommittal, so he turned his head and asked Liu Ye: "Zi Yang, I can only come up with this simple strategy for defeating the enemy based on my husband's suggestion, what do you think?"

Liu Ye stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If General Zhang can disrupt the enemy's formation, Zhang Duo's defeat will definitely affect Lei Xu's soldiers. As long as the Hefei soldiers fight the enemy bravely, the battle will probably be over soon."

"That's good."

Long Xiang got Liu Ye's affirmation, and instantly gained confidence in his heart, so he ordered everyone: "The enemy is less than two miles away, and the generals will follow me out of the camp to fight."

"only."

Everyone clasped their fists in unison and followed Long Xiang down the sentry tower.

Not long after, the left and right City Defense Battalion, Tiger Guard Battalion, and the three phalanxes maintained their battle formation and moved forward side by side.

Thinking that he would be able to join the battle soon after encountering the enemy, Zhang Fei led more than [-] fine cavalry to follow behind, and while he was waiting on the front army, he went around and attacked Zhang Duo's left flank.

The three phalanxes in Hefei acted neatly, and appeared to be fewer in number in the eyes of the enemy.

Lei Xu and Zhang Duo saw that Long Xiang was taking the initiative to attack, so they gave orders to slowly meet him, ordering the various ministries to restrain the troops to form a formation.

Zhang Duo and Lei Xu were full of confidence at first, but they suddenly saw a banner with the word Xu hidden in the opposite banner.

"General Lei, look, why is Xu Ziqi still here? Didn't Xu Chu go to Junqiu?" Zhang Duo was surprised.

Lei Xu stared sideways, frowned and said, "According to Li Shu's information, besides Xu Chu of the Tiger Guard Camp in Hefei City, his elder brother Xu Ding is also serving as the governor of the City Defense Camp, but the difference in martial arts between the two brothers is quite large."

Zhang Duo frowned and snorted coldly: "It would be best if it was Xu Ding. It's just that Long Xiang is quite fat, and he dared to go out of the city without Xu Chu by his side, which is inconsistent with our previous deduction."
