Chapter 198 Tricks
There is a shortage of war horses in the south of the Yangtze River, but it has also created many heroes. Kui En is undoubtedly one of the dazzling stars.
Kuan has been instructed by a master since he was a child, but he could not be reused because he was born in Kui's concubine. However, this boy has a good life and has a good relationship with Kuixing. After being introduced to Lu Qiang, who was the most disgusted concubine, he immediately rose like a rocket.
First, he served under Feng, a veteran in Guangzhou. When Liu Zhong was pacted in Jiaozhou, he was more valued by Lu Qiang and directly transferred to the headquarters camp in Jiangling. Now he has been the deputy commander of the Peking University Camp and has been directly stressed by the road.
Kuan, the 3,000 barbarians, were originally extremely fierce and had been restrained by various military disciplines in the camp for a long time. Although they have gradually gotten used to it, they all held an evil fire in their hearts and were looking for an opportunity to vent.
Liu Yu's 3,000-knife shield hand can also be regarded as the elite in the army. Originally, Liu Yu was happy to see that Lu Qiang did not use cavalry, but as the two armies fought together, his heart soon sank.
"What the hell is this? The knife can't be killed, and he screamed in the war. Where did Lu Qiang move these soldiers?
Just when Liu Yu was puzzled, Liu Muzhi, who was watching the battle, blurted out again: "Barbarian soldiers, they are barbarian soldiers"
"Barbarian?"
Liu Yu finally remembered that he had heard that Lu Qiang brought hundreds of thousands of barbarians in Shu. Looking at the battle situation in the field, his heart became deeper and deeper.
I'm even thinking, "Is it time for Mingjin to withdraw?"
The reason why Liu Yu hesitated is because of the significance of this battle. Lu Qiang attacked with the power of the emperor. If he was defeated in the first war, the blow to morale was immeasurable.
But if we don't recruit troops, I'm afraid these 3,000 soldiers will be here.
In fact, the saddest thing at this time was the 3,000 Beifu soldiers on the field. In terms of fierceness, they were no less than these barbarians, but when their knives were cut on the Jingzhou army, but only one white seals were left, they were stunned.
"What kind of armor is this worn by the Jingzhou army? Why can't knives and guns get in? This is the idea of all the soldiers in the north.
Kon seized this opportunity and took the lead in killing these unknown Beifu soldiers crazily.
This is the first battle of your majesty's personal expedition! After this battle, he can be included in the famous generals around the emperor.
It was with this idea that Kuan's attack was almost invinciable. It was under his leadership that the Jingzhou army quickly defeated the most powerful Beifu army.
And the Beifu army is not worthy of being the strongest army in the world. Although it was killed and retreated by these crazy Jingzhou troops, it still supported it. They also knew that even if they died in battle, they could not fall into the name of the Beifu army.
Lu Qiang and others who watched the battle behind couldn't help nodding secretly. If he hadn't sent out these specially trained barbarians in special armor, it would have been hard to say who would have won or lost in this battle.
In the end, Liu Yu couldn't hold on. It's too miserable. These Jingzhou troops are simply inhumane. It's not enough to kill people. How can they be so happy?
With a crisp sound of gold, the Beifu army on the field began to retreat slowly.
Lu Qiang also sounded the golden sound of withdrawing troops. This battle has given the Jingzhou army enough confidence to cause no more damage.
In this battle, the Jingzhou army suffered less than 500 damage, which caused more than 1,000 losses to Liu Yu's Beifu Army, which can be said to be a brilliant result.
Lu Qiang is still not satisfied, but Liu Yu doesn't want to fight anymore. Who knows if there is any conspiracy behind the tricky Jingzhou Army?
A small-scale battle ended with the complete victory of the Jingzhou army.
However, in the following days, the war suddenly became sticky again, and neither side sent the main force to fight, and the small-scale battle also won or lost each other.
Lu Qiang could wait, but Liu Yu couldn't sit still. Just as he was ready to attack with all his strength, Yin Zhongwen came back.
This clown-like figure, who thinks he is smart, does not know that he has been used by both sides. On this trip, he brought Lu Qiang the countermeasure he wanted him to exercise.
It really surprised Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi to come back, but then they were happy.
In the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu used Jiang Gan and successfully used anti-internal plans. Will Yin Zhongwen play the same role?
According to Lu Qiang's instructions, Yin Zhongwen brought Liu Yu that the Jingzhou army was ready to first break through the river defense line, and then cut off Liu Yu's army's logistical supplies, so that Liu Yu's army would disperse on its own.
This strategy can be said to hit Liu Yu's key point, so although Liu Yu can guess that this may be a conspiracy, he has to be prepared.
After happily praising Yin Zhongwen for a few words, Liu Yu asked him to go down to rest, and then discuss with Liu Muzhi and Liu Daoju.
"General, I think Lu Qiang's child wants to transfer us to strengthen the defense line on the river, and then take advantage of the situation to attack our camp"
Liu Daogui first expressed his opinion.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi, obviously to listen to his opinion.
Liu Muzhi did not speak immediately, squinted and meditated for a moment before saying, "I think Lu Qiang's main attack direction is still Shuiying"
"Oh? How can you see it?"
Liu Muzhi sneered and said, "With Lu Qiang's mind, he will believe that Yin Zhongwen is strange, so he wants Yin Zhongwen to pass on this seemingly fake news, but it is true information, hum! False and real, is there no one to bully me in the North House?"
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Taohe's words are reasonable. Lu Qiang has always been tricky. He wants to confuse us with false and real tricks, but he underestimates us. However, in terms of the navy, we are indeed not as good as the Jingzhou navy. Does Daohe have any good idea to prevent the Jingzhou navy?"
Liu Muzhi nodded and said, "Jingzhou navy warships are sharp, and the cataping machine can be far away. If we fight head-on, no matter what method is used, I'm afraid it is not easy to win, so we can still defend the main."
"First of all, we cross the river with iron cables, pick up a slightly narrower part of the river, and stop Jingzhou warships from passing through. In addition, we erect dark piles all over the river, so that even if Jingzhou warships pass through the iron rope, they can't pass smoothly."
"While defending, concentrate the sailor's strength on both sides. When the iron cables and hidden piles stop the Jingzhou warship's way, you can attack the Jingzhou warship on the shore. At that time, the Jingzhou warship has the ability to pass through the sky, and I'm afraid that it will break the halberd and sink into the sand."
After listening to Liu Muzhi's words, Liu Yu suddenly slapped the table and said happily, "Okay, according to the way, I will give Zhou Anmu an order."
Liu Daogui couldn't help saying, "Do you want to send Yin Zhongwen back?"
Liu Muzhi sneered and said, "If he went back, wouldn't he tell Lu Qiang that we had seen through his tricks?"
In the place for him to rest behind Lu Qiang's Zhongjun tent, there is a huge sand table with a small red and blue flag on it. Red represents the Jingzhou Army and blue represents the Beifu Army.
Throughout the whole sand table, red has occupied more and more places, but blue is also very stubborn and has always been inserted in several places without wavering.
At this time, Lu Qiang stood on the sand table and did various deductions with Han Yanzhi, Tan Daoji and others.
This is Lu Qiang's greatest advantage as a modern man to this era. With this thing, the battlefield situation is clear at a glance.
Liu Muzhi thought well. Lu Qiang did intend to take the water army as a breakthrough, but Liu Muzhi only knew one and did not know the other.
Nowadays, regardless of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, the two armies are expanding rapidly under the will of Lu Qiang.
Moreover, Zhao Lunwen's army in Jiangbei has been divided into two. Deng Xiang and Lu Zongzhi suppressed Meng Huaiyu with 5,000 iron horses and 10,000 infantry. Zhao Lunwen has continued to kill Xuzhou with 10,000 veterans and 10,000 new recruits to prevent Liu Yi from raiding the Jiankang area.
Zhang Changzhi and He Guangsheng's army in the south of the Yangtze River are also divided into two routes. Zhang Changzhi went straight to Yangzhou with 20,000 horses, which is the heavy storage place of Liu Yu's army. He Guangsheng, together with Zhu Chaoshi, also led 20,000 horses and was about to kill Jiankang.
Therefore, Lu Qiang's army is still mainly dragging here. Whether it is Jiankang or Yangzhou, once it falls into the hands of Jingzhou army, it is a nightmare for Liu Yujun.
Although Liu Yu has more than 100,000 troops here, he does not dare to mobilize at will. Liu Yu has not received any news yet. If he detects the things of the Jingzhou army in detail, he probably won't be able to sit still.
But this news can't be concealed. Liu Yu also has a spy. How can he be unprepared for what may happen in the rear?
Han Yanzhi looked at the sand table and suddenly said, "Your Majesty has ever thought about what to do if the Beifu army crosses the river with an iron cable? At that time, the fleet will be stopped by the iron rope, and the Beifu army will take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the shore. I'm afraid that the situation of the navy will be very passive!"
Lu Qiang really didn't expect this. The main reason is that the sailor in Jingzhou is too sharp. Jiang Dalong, the main general, plays routinely for a while, and then plays as a bandit for a while, which makes it impossible to prevent people, so Lu Qiang is very confident in the navy.
Now, after Han Yanzhi's reminder, he couldn't help paying attention to it. After a moment of meditation, he ordered Jiang Dalong to quickly come up with a battle plan on how to deal with the iron cable across the river.
Tan Daoji also said, "If Liu Yu makes a move across the river, it shows that he has seen through our intentions, so the last general suggested to launch a large-scale front-on war to attract Liu Yu's army, but also have the effect of confusing Liu Yu."
Lu Qiang was deeply convinced of Tan Daoji's suggestion. After discussing the specific battle plan with the two, he finally decided to launch a 30,000-scale raid before dawn tomorrow.
At the same time, the cavalry in the battalion are also prepared. Once the former army breaks through the enemy camp, they will take advantage of the situation to expand the results.
The abnormal movement in Jingzhou's camp was immediately discovered by the Northern government and informed Liu Yu as soon as possible.
Liu Yu was called up from his sleep. He hasn't slept well for a while, and he was just called up by Liu Daogui in a daze.
After listening to Liu Daogui's report, Liu Yu's sleepiness suddenly subsided, and he immediately called Liu Muzhi over and asked Liu Daogui to organize the defense immediately.
Liu Muzhi is also a little strange. What is Lu Qiang doing? If it is true, is it true?
The soldiers are coming to block it. This is no longer the time to analyze the cause.
Strictly speaking, Lu Qiang's dispatch of troops can no longer be regarded as a sneak attack, but he chose to send troops at this time, but it was not his painstaking effort**.
The sneak attack war is about suddenness, and it also requires weather cooperation. However, Lu Qiang chose the weather, but did not take a sudden approach. First, people are the most sleepy at this time. In addition, fighting under dark conditions is also a kind of refining for his own army.
There are no war drums and no horns. In the army, only the general in charge of command has a torch, and other places are dark.
In this way, 30,000 troops were divided into five teams, stepped on a neat pace in the dark, and went to the Beifu camp in a "sw" sound.
