Chapter 272 Military Strategy
  Liu Bei had a reputation for benevolence and was the person who led the attack on Cao Cao, so he was naturally elected as the leader of the alliance.

It's just that the status of the alliance leader is completely different from that of the alliance leader who challenged Dong in the past.

The leader of the alliance when the eighteen princes were fighting against Dong, that was a position that gained credit and prestige. The main role of Liu Bei, the leader of the alliance, is to attract Cao Cao's anger.

In case the coalition forces are defeated, it will be used to withstand thunder.

In Yuzhang City, on the general stage, Xu Shu had begun to give orders in place of Liu Bei.

"General Cai, please command the 50,000-strong army as the left wing and advance north. Dedicate 20,000 infantry to guard Yuzhang."

Cai Mao clasped his fists: "Don't worry."

"Please ask Yangzhou Mutong's 30,000 troops to serve as the right wing of the army, and assign 20,000 infantry to guard Yuzhang."

Liu Yao nodded: "Yes."

"I also ask my lord to make up 20,000 troops as the front army. Whenever there is a large group of cavalry, the front army will not move. The left and right wings will quickly move closer to the front army to form an encirclement. If the left and right wings are attacked by cavalry, set up many horse fences to resist the horse."

"This battle must be fought steadily. After breaking the enemy's camp, we must not divide our troops and advance rashly. We must take Shangcai first as our frontline, and then gradually encroach on the counties in Runan."

Liu Bei handed over his hand and said, "Please don't worry, military advisor. Yuzhang has already troubled military advisors."

"I will live up to my lord's trust."

War drums resounded across the sky, and the dust raised by the march of a hundred thousand troops covered the sky and blocked the sun.

War is about to break out.

Report! ! ~~
  The principal rushed to the big tent.

"I report to the Prime Minister that the bandit army has set out, but according to this, it is only forty miles away."

Zhang Wu took the lead, picked up the Overlord Spear, and stretched his neck.

"Father-in-law, sit down for a moment while I go meet Liu Bei."

Cao Cao's mind at the moment was not on Huainan, but on repeatedly studying the terrain of Wei County on the map. Pang Tong stood aside and pointed, explaining in detail.

When he heard Zhang Wu's invitation to fight, he waved his hand casually without raising his head: "Go, go, be careful."

"Here."

Zhang Wu's eyes swept across the tent.

He casually said: "Cao Xiu, go and gather the seven thousand flying bears and join me in the battle."

Cao Xiu was overjoyed to accept the order: "I have the order!"

Lu Qiling wanted to follow, but Zhang Wu gave her a look to scare her away.

The battlefield is no child's play. Zhang Wu is now the commander-in-chief of an army and has absolute authority. Whoever he can point to will win, and those who cannot point him will have to consider themselves unlucky.

An hour.

The army of seven thousand flying bears was organized and followed Zhang Wu into battle.

The area around Runan is full of plains, which is the best battlefield for cavalry.

Of course Zhang Wu could use all his cavalry, and he was even confident that he could completely cripple the three Liu coalition forces with all the cavalry in his hands.

It can be done, but it's really not necessary.

Now he wants to drag Cai Hao and Liu Yao to stay in Huainan, and directly scare them. Once the two withdraw their troops, Huainan's mess will have to be cleaned up by himself.

An hour later.

Seven thousand flying bears appeared on the flank of the coalition forces.

There was nowhere to hide on the plains, and a surprise attack was basically impossible.

As soon as the coalition forces discovered Zhang Wu's position, they set up dense horse-rejection fences on the flanks.

"General, such a dense horse fence will greatly restrict the cavalry charge. It seems that the enemy has been prepared for a long time." Zhang Wu raised his battle gun and knocked on Cao Xiu's helmet: "Yes, you are right. If you are not fully prepared, Okay, do you think Liu Bei really dares to send his army to the plains to seek death?"

In the plains, there are few factors that can limit cavalry charges.

Either he had to defend the city, or he could only set up a horse fence. If Liu Bei was not prepared to hold back the horse fence, Zhang Wu would think it was strange and deceitful.

Since such a well-behaved old method is used, there is nothing much to say.

  In addition to spending a bit miserably on points to cure the Youzhou epidemic, the exaggerated attribute panel also gave Zhang Wu real confidence to gain a foothold in the world.

Is the horse fence scary?

To Zhang Wu, it was just a bigger toy. As long as he wanted to, he could break away those irrelevant obstacles anytime and anywhere.

"Cao Xiu listens to the order. Wait for me to clear the roadblock first, and you will lead the flying bear to charge for a while. Don't go deep into the enemy's position for a long time. Just wait until the enemy's flank is disrupted and then evacuate south."

Cao Xiu scratched his head: "Towards the south? Doesn't that mean turning to Yuzhang?"

The young general needs a lot of support. After all, this guy lacks battle experience. Zhang Wu was not impatient and explained:

"Let me ask you, if you were Liu Bei, how would you guard against a surprise attack by elite cavalry?"

"Stand by the city, or set up multiple horse fences."

"What if the horse barrier doesn't work?"

"Then just occupy the city and defend it."

Zhang Wu smiled: "You finally got the answer right. So for Liu Bei, Yuzhang cannot be lost. Once he loses Yuzhang, on this endless plain, if he is defeated and withdraws his troops, he will retreat farther south." Hefei, with such a long withdrawal route, faced with the pursuit of 20,000 elite cavalry, there must be heavy casualties."

Cao Xiu suddenly realized.

Liu Bei may not care if someone else takes 7,000 cavalry and turns south into Yuzhang. After all, there are no siege equipment, so how can the cavalry attack the city.

But Zhang Wu was different. For Zhang Wu, cavalry could also be used to attack the city, but it was just a matter of breaking down the city gate with one shot and wasting a lot of effort.

There is no need for Zhang Wu to actually charge into the formation. It is enough for the enemy to see clearly that the leader is Zhang Wu.

Even after moving to Yuzhang, there was no need to actually attack the city. As long as he showed signs of turning south, Liu Bei had to return to the army.

This is almost an unsolvable problem.

Zhang Wu deliberately kept Zhao Yun, a top cavalryman, in the main camp.

In other words, as long as Yu Zhang is lost, Liu Bei will almost have to face a two-sided attack from a large group of cavalry. Yuzhang became even more important.

Liu Bei didn't dare to gamble, let alone gamble.

Cao Xiu praised: "The general has a clever plan, and I will admire him for it."

"Hahaha, stop flattering me, I'll go first."
