back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 816
Why did Li Rizun only dare to send 15 troops?This is because he was really afraid. In case this was another trick of the Han people, and the old trick was repeated for another sneak attack, the current Thang Long City would not be able to withstand the ravages of artillery fire at all.Thang Long City, which has not even had time to repair the city gate, may even save artillery fire, and the army can drive straight in and break the city in one fell swoop.

Li Rizun didn't dare to bet that if he withdrew from Shenglong City in a desperate manner again, Li Chao's reputation would drop to the lowest level. At that time, Li Chao might really exist in name only.What Li Rizun has to do now is not to kill all the Han troops, but to think about the safety of his own country.It's a pity that Li Rizun was blinded by hatred, and his remaining rationality only prevented him from raising an army of 20, and he was still sitting in Shenglong City.

Most of the Jiaozhi army was stationed outside the city. After receiving Li Rizun's order, they immediately packed up their camp tents and prepared to set off.There are also vanguard troops, riding fast horses one step ahead, heading straight to the northwest along the river.This group of cavalry is obviously the army of Xuanguangzhou City.Their old lair was attacked, why don't they rush back in a hurry?Even if they knew that the defenders of Xuanguangzhou City would not be able to defend Xuanguangzhou City at all, they still had a glimmer of hope.

Xuanguangzhou City is only three days away from Shenglong City by riding a horse.And the 15 army, with food, grass, and supplies, can arrive within five days, and it is already considered a soldier in a hundred battles.

Two days later, the Imperial Army in Xuanguangzhou City received a report from the horse inspection, and learned that Li Rizun had assembled most of the troops and was about to attack Xuanguangzhou City.

After listening to Tan Ma's report, Lu Chenhuan asked him to probe again, turned around and said with a smile: "This Li Rizun is really dizzy!"

Zhe Kexing smiled, but did not speak.Enemy stunned, is one's own greatest gospel.But he never pinned his victory on the stupidity of the enemy, but put himself in the position of the enemy and imagined himself as the enemy, what would he do in such a situation.So Zhe Kexing would not say that Li Rizun made a bad move, but thought about what he was going to do.

Zou You, who was at the side, asked, "Then we should divide our troops into three groups as we said earlier?"

"Don't be in a hurry, there is still one day before the enemy's vanguard arrives, why don't I wait for the work and kill him by surprise, so as to deter the enemy!" When Fatty Lu entered the state of war, his ghost ideas were more than one.But this is also a kind of talent. Only by having the most accurate judgment on the enemy's whereabouts and marching speed can one make the most correct decision in an instant.

Zou You was stunned for a moment, and then he sincerely admired him: "That's right, Annan's 10,000+ army will arrive in five days. The vanguard, there are only more than [-] people. Although they are cavalry, it is not impossible to ambush." ​​Only then did Zou You realize I realized that talking about war on paper is not the same as fighting in real life.Talking about war on paper can only fight wars in accordance with the rules.If there are traces to follow, it is tantamount to exposing one's own strengths and weaknesses to others.As long as the enemy designs an ambush, it is likely that they will hate the battlefield.The most famous battle is the classic battle between Sun Bin and Pang Juan during the Warring States Period "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".Sun Bin expected the enemy to be the first to attack the enemy, and he must save the enemy. Pang Juan had to return to his army, but Sun Bin ambushed in Guiling, defeated the Wei army, and captured Pang Juan alive. The siege of Zhao was broken.
After the Battle of Guiling, Wei State was seriously injured, but after a few years of rest, Wei State gradually resumed its foreign offensive and sent troops to attack South Korea again, and South Korea asked Qi State for help.King Wei of Qi adopted Sun Bin's idea of ​​"getting close to Han and accepting the disadvantages of Wei late", and he was friendly with Han but not in a hurry to send troops.When the Han army was defeated in five battles and five battles, and the Wei army was also greatly weakened, Tian Ji was the main general and Sun Bin was the military adviser in the following year, and sent troops to rescue Han.Needless to say, Wei Guo was angry and resentful when he saw that the victory was in sight, but Qi Guo was obstructing it.So he decided to let South Korea go, and turned his troops to the Qi army.The Qi army had already entered the deep area of ​​the territory of Wei State, and the Wei army followed. Aiming at the fact that the Wei soldiers despised the Qi army, Sun Bin, after carefully studying the terrain conditions of the battlefield, set the combat policy of reducing the number of stoves to lure the enemy, setting up ambushes and annihilating them. Under the pursuit of the Wei army, the soldiers of the Qi army fled in large numbers, and took advantage of the favorable terrain in Maling to choose [-] archers from the Qi army to lie in ambush on both sides of the road. They also asked people to peel off the bark of a big tree beside the road, and write the words "Pang Juan died under this tree" on it.

After chasing them down for three or three days in a row, Pang Juan saw that the Qi army was retreating to avoid the battle and was losing weight every day. He arbitrarily concluded that the Qi army's fighting spirit was weak, and more than half of the soldiers fled.So he ordered the troops to abandon the infantry and luggage, and only brought some lightly equipped elite cavalry to chase the Qi army to Ma Ling day and night.Before the words were finished, the Qi army fired ten thousand crossbows and dealt a thunderous blow to the Wei army. The Wei army was panicked and defeated.Pang Juanzhi was exhausted, and seeing that the defeat had been decided, he committed suicide in shame.

Pang Juan lost because he thought he had a strong army, and Sun Bin was designed to dig out his double patella (kneecap) and became disabled, so he underestimated Sun Bin.Little did they know that Sun Bin and Pang Juan were classmates, and Sun Bin knew Pang Juan's strengths and weaknesses.To set up an ambush according to his personality, that is one ambush.If Pang Juan had been smarter and more adaptable, even if his vitality had been seriously injured, he would not have ended up defeated and killed.

In the past, Zou You didn't understand this truth, but now that he recalled that Di Qing also talked about this battle example in the Royal Military Academy, he learned by analogy and understood the true meaning of "water has no shape, and soldiers have no shape".Only when you are in a state of mobility and changing, and formulate tactics according to the situation, can the enemy not see their true intentions clearly!
Zou You was still thinking about his own thoughts, Lu Chenhuan had already asked Zhe Kexing, "General Zhe, what do you think of this plan?"

"If the terrain is suitable, you can give it a try!"

Zhe Kexing's cautious and cautious attitude is very suitable for Lu Chenhuan's appetite.

"General Zhe, look, here is a dense forest with a commercial road in the middle. Although it is not the only way to Xuanguangzhou City, Annan people will definitely pass through here if they want to return to Xuanguangzhou City. The rest of the road, Either it is far away, or it is too rough, so you can’t ride a horse. If I waited on the other road and set up a suspicious formation, I would definitely lure the enemy into a trap." Lu Chenhuan sighed and said, "Alas, although this Annan man is always learning I am in the Central Plains, but I am just imitating the East. If I, the Han, lead the army and see a suspicious formation, I will definitely know the truth of "the false is the real, the real is the false", and this strategy will be used in reverse."

Zou You was not so optimistic. He frowned and asked, "Commander, if the enemy is not fooled, how will we deal with it?"

"Simple, let's take the whole army out of Xuanguangzhou City first. If the Annan people are not fooled, then the soldiers will be divided into three groups. According to the original statement, Zou Jiaoxi will lead the sailors, General Zhe will lead the cavalry, and this general will lead the infantry. Turn Annan upside down!" Lu Chenhuan didn't think it was a big deal, others saw through the ambushes, that was his ability, his scheme didn't work.It is Fatty Lu's usual style to miss a hit and fly away.There is a saying that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and a son of a thousand gold does not sit in a hall.Although Fatty Lu is a war madman, he also cherishes his life very much.Don't take credit for not reaping the rewards, but instead kill yourself, it's not worth it.

Seeing Fatty Lu's thoughtful plan, Zou You also acquiesced in this ambush plan.

A big battle is brewing again.
