Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 825 Burning the camp?

Chapter 823: Burning the camp?

Li Shimin actually discovered a flaw in the Kwantung Allied Forces?

This news was like a thunder, exploding among the generals of the Liang army, and everyone was deafened by the blast.

Although Li Shimin did not specify what the flaws of the Kwantung Allied Forces were, the generals believed that Li Shimin would not target people without aim.

Furthermore, this matter is too important. Even if it is to keep it confidential, it is impossible to tell it in public. Once there is an undercover coalition force among the soldiers, it will make the coalition forces prepare in advance.

Li Shimin did not say anything, and it was difficult to ask other generals, but there was one exception, and he was Yang Guang.

Yang Guang couldn't resist his curiosity, so he came to Li Shimin's camp alone at night.

 After learning Yang Guang’s intention, Li Shimin immediately laughed.

“Brother Guang, is this why you came to see me so late?”

Seeing Li Shimin smiling so happily, Yang Guang thought that the previous flaw was false, so he said angrily:

"I knew, Shimin, that you said this deliberately to stabilize the morale of the army. How could there be any flaws in Qin Hao's arrangement?"

Since it was in private, Yang Guang didn't call Li Shimin a general. Li Shimin didn't care about it either. He was obviously used to being called that by Yang Guang.

"But Shimin, you lied to everyone like this, your morale has improved, but if you can't defeat Qin Hao, how are you going to end it?" Yang Guang said worriedly.

Li Shimin smiled calmly: "Who said I was lying?"

Yang Guang's eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "Is it still true?"

"certainly."

A flash of light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he sneered: "Who said Qin Hao wouldn't make mistakes? He made a big mistake this time. This mistake will ruin the entire Kwantung Allied Forces."

“What mistake did Qin Hao make?” Yang Guang asked doubtfully.

"Remember? The Kwantung Allied Army had a small battalion of 5,000 people, and a large battalion of 10 battalions with 50,000 people. They built a total of 110 camps near the mountains and forests, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the camps were separated from each other. The distance between them is only a few miles.”

 “Can this be considered a flaw?”

Yang Guang frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "If Qin Hao arranges it like this, if any place is attacked, the other battalions can immediately provide support. It can be said to be foolproof."

“No, the distance between battalions is the biggest flaw of the Kwantung Allied Forces.”

Li Shimin's eyes were full of wisdom and he sneered: "The Kwantung Allied Forces camps are mostly built near mountains and forests. But now the climate is cold and dry. If there is a strong wind, then we can use it..."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Yang Guang was stunned and exclaimed: "Shimin, do you want to attack with fire?"

Yang Guang was not stupid either. Li Shimin had already guessed Li Shimin's intention after giving a rough outline, and a chill suddenly came over him.

Li Shimin's plan is really too cruel. Once the fire is ignited, the coalition forces will not be able to escape even if they want to. After all, it is a huge fire.

After thinking deeply, Yang Guang found that there were flaws in this plan, so he asked: "I'm afraid this fire attack plan is not that easy to implement. First of all, there is a strong wind. God knows when it will blow?"

If you want to use the fire attack strategy, the restrictions on a small area are smaller, but for a fire attack with a range of hundreds of miles like Li Shimin's, it is indispensable to rely on wind power. This is true for Chibi and Yiling.

 So, if there is no wind, Li Shimin's fire will definitely not burn.

Yang Guang could think of it, and Li Shimin could naturally think of it, and then he explained with a smile: "When I led the army to confront Xiang Yu in Suanzao, I patiently investigated and studied the climate of Yanzhou, and I predicted that there would be a strong wind in Suanzao within a month." "Fake?"

 “I don’t dare to say that what I say must be accurate, but I think it’s probably close to ten.”

Seeing that Li Shimin was so sure, Yang Guang believed this for the time being, but then asked: "But even so, it is still not easy to light this fire. In addition to the wind, there is also... besides..."

Hearing Yang Guang's last two questions, Li Shimin smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I already have a perfect plan in mind, all I need to do is..."

Li Shimin seemed to have considered everything, but no matter what he said, Yang Guang always felt uneasy in his heart, and this uneasiness came from his opponent Qin Hao.

You must know that Qin Hao has never been defeated in a battle, and most of the battles he has experienced have been with outnumbered enemies. Can such a person with no calculation really show such a big flaw?

“Shimin, could the flaw you saw be exposed intentionally by Qin Hao?”

Li Shimin frowned and asked: "The Kwantung Allied Forces camp has been set up. We have the initiative to set fire or not, and Qin Hao used 550,000 allied troops as bait. Isn't the cost of doing so too high? Risking such a big What is the risk for?”

"Of course it's to lure you out of the pass and capture Hulao Pass. After all, if you want to carry out such a large-scale fire attack, you must mobilize the vast majority of the troops in Hulao Pass, and Qin Hao only needs to block me By using the army's retreat route, we can easily break through Hulao..."

Yang Guang's tone became increasingly weak, and he also found that the logic he was thinking was not fluent.

 Using an army of 550,000 as bait in exchange for an opportunity is indeed too high a price.

 You must know that there are too many variables in this, and you will pay a heavy price if you are not careful.

Qin Hao himself is fine, but will other princes let Qin Hao do this?

Li Shimin frowned even more after hearing what Yang Guang said. After thinking for a long time, he said seriously: "Brother Guang, don't worry, I have already remembered what you said, and I will think twice before taking any action."

Seeing that his casual words actually attracted Li Shimin's attention, Yang Guang laughed sheepishly.

“Brother Shimin, I just said it casually, so don’t take it too seriously. Although our army should focus on stability, if there is a chance to defeat the coalition forces in a battle, we must not let it go.”

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, but his mind was filled with thoughts. Yang Guang did remind him this time.

Li Shimin will not miss any opportunity, nor will he ignore any possibility of being calculated. He will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

　　————

Sour dates, the coalition camp.

After Li Cunxiao and other generals returned, he learned that there were only less than 4,000 cavalry left out of 10,000, and that general Zhao She was still captured. Yuan Shu felt like crying without tears in his heart.

In order to confront Qin Hao, Yuan Shucai sent troops to pursue him without permission. But is Qin Hao's fault?

If Lord Qin Hao didn't remember the faults of villains, Yuan Shu wouldn't even be able to defend these more than 3,000 cavalry.

Is it Zhao She’s fault?

But Zhao She avoided Li Shimin's first wave of ambush. The second wave of ambush was beyond everyone's expectation. Anyone else would have fallen into the same trap.

Yuan Shu could only blame himself for the strange things that happened. If he hadn't sent out troops forcefully, there would have been such huge losses.

　　"I really brought this upon myself." Yuan Shu thought bitterly in his heart, and at the same time he made up his mind not to provoke Qin Hao.

Yuan Shu found that in his competition with Qin Hao, he never took advantage, and every time he suffered, it was always him. He was really afraid of suffering.
