The last three kingdoms

Chapter 788 The situation is pressing
The sidecar is just a weapon, and it is not invincible on the battlefield. Liu Yin alone knows that there are more than two or three ways to crack the sidecar. Liu Yuan used the catapult to break it, which is actually the most stupid One way, if the enemy builds a van, Liu Yin can use a lighter and more effective method to crack it.

Therefore, when the Huns destroyed the van, Liu Yin didn't feel too surprised. The times are always improving. It also has its weaknesses and deficiencies, so it is not surprising that Jiexiu lost.

Fu Chen has a special liking for the sidecar. Although this failure has shaken many people's belief in using the sidecar, Fu Chen has analyzed the pros and cons of the battle between the sidecar and the catapult from this campaign. It is concluded that the vans are not completely afraid of the catapults. As long as the mobility of the vans is improved and the strength of flexible combat is increased, the vans are also fully capable of dealing with the catapults.

Liu Yin waved his hand and motioned Fu Qian and Luo Xian to sit down. After all, vans and the like were just tactical things, used as auxiliary means of combat, but what the Shu army was facing now was a strategic one. As for the matter, the core content of the discussion of the three governors of the Shu Army was not just about the tactical level.

On the table is a military map spread out. These military maps were all processed by Liu Yin based on the information provided by the scout soldiers and the drawing books. If we talk about the drawing level of military maps, I am afraid Even Pei Xiu, who was poisoned to death by Sima Yan, is completely incomparable. Detailed, accurate, simple, and practical are the biggest features of the military maps drawn by Liu Yin. Now there are Liu Yin's maps in any military-level headquarters. The military maps drawn by hand have become an essential tool for generals at all levels of the Shu army, whether they are marching or fighting.

On the current map, Liu Yin has used red pens and blue pens to draw the situation of the deployment of his own and enemy troops. Fu Qian and Luo Xian can see it clearly at a glance.

"Now, the situation in front of us is very serious. The Huns have two armies from the north and the south, with a total strength of more than [-]. Although Liu Meng has been suppressed by us continuously, the main force of his army still exists. After Liu Yuan returned to aid this time, , the morale of Liu Meng's army will inevitably rise. Judging from the current situation, they have given up their defense and adopted a more proactive style of play in Jinyang, launching a large-scale counterattack against our army's former troops. On the front line, after Liu Yuan won the battle of Jiexiu, he divided his troops into two groups, one to attack Zhongdu and Jingling, and the other to attack Zishi and Daling. map road.

Fu Qian and Luo Xian's faces were also very solemn. Needless to say, the Huns were advancing every step of the way, and the battle situation was complicated and confusing, so they were also very nervous.The next battle was not a small-scale encounter like the battle of Xiang Jiexiu, but a decisive battle involving tens of thousands of horses from both sides, so it was natural to treat it with caution.

Fu Luo and the two of them did not speak, but Liu Yin continued: "Since Liu Yuan entered the north of Jiexiu, he did not rush forward lightly, but adopted a strategy of fighting steadily and step by step. Obviously, this is Liu Yuan's careful preparation. , His intention is very obvious, that is to force our army to fight a decisive battle with them in the Jinzhong Plain. The Huns are dominated by cavalry, and the cavalry basically accounts for more than [-]% of the entire army, while the number of cavalry in our army only accounts for [-]%. Around Chengcheng, the plains are very beneficial to the Huns. What's more, this area is the land where the Huns once inhabited. They are more familiar with the terrain of this land than anyone else. Therefore, Liu Yuan relied on Occupying the right time and place, full of confidence, the comer is not good."

Luo Xian nodded and said: "Since the Battle of Jiexiu, Liu Yuan divided his troops into two groups and marched north along the Fenshui River, but deliberately kept a certain distance from our army. He obviously had the possibility of fighting with my retreating army, but he took the initiative to To avoid the battle, it is obvious that he wants to brew a big battle, and Liu Yuan must have determined the main battlefield in the Qi County area of ​​Jiangyang."

Fu Qian also said: "There are two sides to attack from the north and the south. This battle is not easy to fight. Our army has already dispatched the main force. Once the battle is defeated, there will be no more reinforcements to send. I am afraid that even Guanzhong will be difficult to defend. Wenxuan, the enemy We are strong and we are weak, the situation is pressing, our army must not fight Liu Yuan here!"

The current situation couldn't be more obvious. Relying on the superiority in military strength, Liu Yuan attempted to attack from the north and the south, encircling and annihilating the Shu army in the areas of Ganyang, Qixian, and Yangyi. This undoubtedly made Liu Yuan very relieved. On the southern front, Liu Yuan divided his troops and marched step by step. He was very cautious and deliberately avoided contact with the Shu army. With strategic deployment, the Huns will launch a general offensive across the board.

The current situation is quite delicate. The Shu army's approximately 13 troops are at a disadvantage compared with the 20 Huns in the north and south. He also possessed a certain advantage, and Liu Yuan was clearly aware of this. He was familiar with military books and the art of war, so he did not make any rash advances in the march.

After the Huns completed the encirclement from the north and the south, that was the moment when the Huns really showed their fangs.This time when they marched into Bingzhou, the Shu Army has already mobilized almost all the field troops in Guanzhong. This battle must not be lost. If it fails, the Shu Army will probably lose all their money. There will be no enemy in Guanzhong. Even if you want to defend the soldiers, it will be very difficult.It is very likely that this battle will shake the foundation of Guanzhong, which the Shu army has worked hard for several years, and the gains outweigh the losses.

This battle was related to the life and death of the Shu army, and judging from the situation, the Xiongnu almost had the upper hand, the Shu army was not sure of victory, and the probability of failure was very high, so Fu Qian advocated not to fight this battle.

Luo Xian said with a worried face: "If we don't fight, our army will definitely retreat. If we retreat to Loufan or Zuoguo City, Liu Yuan's army will definitely chase after us. Even if we retreat to Zuoguo City, it will be difficult. To escape a battle, if we avoid the battle, we can only retreat back to Hexi, then our previous efforts will be wasted, and the gain will not be worth the loss! I don’t know what General Jun’s intention is?”

Liu Yin pondered for a moment, and if he realized something, he said: "You can't fight, you can't retreat. Our current situation is a dilemma. If this is the case, it's better not to retreat but to advance, and create a new world for him!"
