The last three kingdoms

Chapter 901 The weather is the enemy

Qingsang Town on the east bank of the Zhanghe River is famous for planting mulberry trees. In the fields, you can see big mulberry trees with canopies like clouds everywhere. Now it is not the season for picking mulberry and silkworms, and no one picks the leaves of the mulberry trees anymore. The dense canopy builds a shady world. In this scorching summer, it is quite pleasant to hide under the big mulberry tree.

Liu Yin's Chinese army camp was stationed in Qingsang Town.

This summer, there was a long drought and no rain, and the weather was very hot. The soldiers of the Shu army couldn't stand the scorching heat, and they all ran to the shade of the big mulberry tree to avoid the scorching sun.

Zhang Le's two big arms were bare, and he only wore an undershirt. He was still wearing armor on the outside of the undershirt, but he didn't wear a helmet. He rode a horse, crossed the tree-shaded avenue, and came straight to the tent of the Chinese army. , "Woo--" Reining in the horse, he quickly jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the soldier next to him, and strode into the tent of the Chinese army with great strides.

"General Zhang." When several Chinese soldiers saw Zhang Le coming in, they hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted.

At this moment, Liu Yin was concentrating on the map behind several cases. Hearing the voice, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Second brother, you came just in time, sit down."

Zhang Le sat next to Liu Yin, riding his horse all the way, sweating profusely, Zhang Le is fat, and what he fears most is summer. Although the summer in the north is not as sultry as in the middle of Sichuan, but being baked by the poisonous sun, Zhang Le Le Na's two shirtless arms were peeled off from the sun. He grabbed the herbal tea that Liu Yin hadn't drunk on the case and drank it down in one gulp. Seeing Liu Yin in military uniform with a peaceful expression, he said strangely: "Brother , why don’t you think it’s too hot?”

"The mind is calm and cool." Liu Yin said with a leisurely smile.

"This battle is in full swing, it's rare that you can calm down?"

"How can you fight if you don't calm down? Could it be that you can command thousands of troops if your mind is in a mess?"

Zhang Le chuckled, and said: "That's true, brother, you are planning a strategy and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. I found that there is really nothing in this world that can hinder you."

"Stop flattering, let's talk about it, this time I made a special trip to come back from the front line, but there is something important?" Liu Yin asked.At present, Zhang Le's Wudang Flying Army and the five armies of Huqi, Hubu, Yang'an, and Yong'an are besieging the Xiongnu army in Fuliu. Fu Qian is in charge of the unified command on the front line. The battle was intensifying, Zhang Le suddenly came back from Fuliu's front line, he must have something important to do, so Liu Yin asked this question.

Zhang Le nodded and said: "At present, the Huns have built a line of defense in the area of ​​Fuliu by taking advantage of their cavalry. It is difficult for us to break through this line of defense of the Huns when we move forward. After the 3 people of the Huns, the Huns have also learned to be smart. If we want to use the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep, it will not work. Now we attack, and the Huns will use cavalry and iron barrels to fight against them, and they will mobilize a large number of stones It is specially used to restrain the vans. When we retreated, the Huns did not chase after us, but stuck to their original positions. This battle has been going on for almost a month, and we can’t break through the Huns’ line of defense. In addition, it is hot Unbearable, Fu Dudu has the intention of temporarily withdrawing troops, and specially ordered me to come back and ask Brother, what do you mean, should we continue to fight or retreat first and fight again in autumn?"

Liu Yin is also very clear about the stalemate in the battle ahead. The biggest reliance of the Huns is cavalry, and the terrain around Xindu is low-lying and flat, which is suitable for the Huns to fight. Now Liu Yuan has concentrated his troops around Xindu to take advantage of the geographical advantage. advantage, do the final battle of trapped beasts.

It has been more than a month since the Battle of Luze, and the Shu army was blocked to the west of Fuliu and east of Zaoqiang, and could not get close. The "iron triangle" defense system surrounding the Huns, the Shu army did There is no good way to come up with, not to lure the enemy to go deep, nor to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Now the Huns seem to have become determined after eating the weight, and they will not let go of the "Iron Triangle" defense line.

On the front line of Fuliu, the Shu army used the Central Army and the Left Army. Except for the Tiger Cavalry Army, all infantry troops were used. Although the Shu Army infantry had some ways to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry before, it was in mobile warfare. Among them, the Shu army can find the loopholes of the Huns and ways to deal with them, but once the Huns can't shrink back, the Shu army has no good way to deal with them.

Luo Xian fought against the Huns in the Zaoqiang area. Since the right army was all cavalry and was not inferior to the Huns in number, Luo Xian achieved better results than the center left army.But although Luo Xian has a certain advantage, it is not easy to completely defeat and break through the defense of the Shu people. As far as the overall situation is concerned, it is still a [-]-[-] situation.

Yanghu's situation in the Nangong area was almost the same. Although the Jin army had an overwhelming advantage in military strength, it was unable to turn this advantage into a victory.Although Yang Hu tried his best, the Jin army and the Xiongnu still maintained a stalemate on the Nangong line.

It seems that the Huns have learned to be smart and know how to coordinate and cooperate in combat, support each other, and help each other. In the past, people have the impression that the Huns have strong individual combat capabilities and are good at fighting, but they are negligent in battle. However, the cooperation and coordinated combat capabilities among the Huns are much worse.

But this time in the battle of Xindu, people deeply realized that the improvement of the combat power of the Huns cavalry, of course, this improvement does not refer to the improvement of the individual combat effectiveness of the Huns cavalry, but the ability of the Huns to coordinate combat and counter-strategy. With the improvement of their capabilities, the Shu army has already tried their best, but they can no longer confuse the Huns. After a month of fighting, the Huns are almost motionless.

"Retreat?" Liu Yin pondered for a moment.

Zhang Ledao: "That's right, the Huns' defense is too tight now, and they are almost invulnerable. Now the soldiers of the Han army are fighting against the Huns under the poisonous sun, but it is difficult to gain anything. Many people have fainted, Fu Dudu thinks that if you can't win in a short time, it's better to retreat for the time being, and wait until the autumn weather is cooler before attacking."

Fu Qian is commanding the battle on the front line. The more stalemate the battle, the more headache Fu Qianli has. Now the Shu army is not only fighting with the Huns cavalry, but also has to fight against the harsh environment. Today's summer is extremely hot. They all feel a bit roasted. In this atmosphere, it is not so difficult to fight a beautiful battle.

Since the attack was fruitless, it was not an option to spend so much time. Fu Qian still had a way to retreat first.
