Liu Zhong said in surprise: "Showing weakness to the enemy and taking no defense? If these enemy troops are followed by a large group of enemy cavalry and then take the opportunity to charge into the formation, how can they defend themselves? Also, even if there are nearly a thousand cavalry, even light cavalry, We have a formidable enemy. We Beifu Army warriors can take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the thieves. We can often do it with just over a thousand people. Once the defensive formation is lost, it may not be easy to stop this cavalry!"
Shen Yunzi smiled slightly and said calmly: "Lao Si did not hear that there was a large group of cavalry behind this enemy cavalry just now. In my opinion, it is either a sneak attack or a reconnaissance."
Liu Zhong said solemnly: "If we launch a sneak attack and let the enemy troops enter the battle, our army only has a thousand light cavalry and the others are mostly lightly armed swordsmen. Can we really block it? If we can't block it, let them attack the Chinese army directly. Even threatening the commander-in-chief, wouldn’t that be dangerous?”
Shen Yunzi shook his head confidently and said: "Your subordinates alone exceed a thousand cavalry, and they are also elite heavy cavalry. Now they are hidden in the formation, can't they still be unable to deal with these enemy cavalry? Besides, even among our rear army, although We don’t have heavy infantry, but we have also set up heavy killing formations, originally to deal with the armored cavalry, so dealing with these light cavalry is not a matter of taking it easy!”
Liu Zhong gritted his teeth: "Even if these light cavalry enemy soldiers are easy to deal with, what about the armored cavalry behind them? The cavalry is coming very quickly, maybe it can reach thirty miles in two quarters of an hour. By then we will be fighting with these light cavalry We are fighting, but the armored cavalry behind us form a formation to attack. At this time, all the arrangements in our formation cannot be used, how can we resist?"
Shen Yunzi laughed: "Isn't this exactly the effect we want?"
Liu Zhong's expression changed: "Letting Jia Qi rush in, is this the effect we want?"
Shen Yunzi nodded: "If the armored cavalry attacks, it is impossible to attack immediately. They need time to change equipment, and both men and horses must wear armor. In order to gain time, they may directly go into battle without wearing armor, or partially The armor cavalry goes into battle, this is our chance!"
Liu Zhong's eyes lit up: "Are you deliberately trying to show weakness and trap and kill some of the armored cavalry?"
Shen Yunzi nodded: "If the enemy troops are here for a sneak attack, then we can easily deal with them. If they are here for reconnaissance, no matter how we show weakness, we will not enter the formation. But if they are followed by armored cavalry, Then it is possible to enter the battle first. Lao Si has the skill of listening to the ground and can know whether there is a large number of enemy cavalry attacking within thirty miles. If there is, then it is better to fight against the unarmored cavalry than against the armored cavalry. Originally, Our idea is to use your light cavalry to counterattack and engage in a melee with the enemy cavalry, and then our swordsmen will surge up to use their melee advantage to drag the commander's main force to the rescue. But if we can bring a group of armored cavalry into the formation first, let They lose speed and eat them, which can reduce the burden on our army."
Having said this, he paused and pointed to the dense forest in the distance: "Besides, Tieniu went out first with more than a thousand cavalry. I think it may be the commander's arrangement to attack the enemy's armored cavalry from both sides. When the battle is really critical, this cavalry can surprise you by attacking from behind! Even if it is equipped with armor and cavalry, although it is powerful from the front, it is too heavy-armed and cannot turn well, so it may be very difficult to deal with a surprise attack from the rear. .”
Shen Linzi's voice sounded from the ground where he was lying: "The enemy's cavalry is less than ten miles away from our army and will arrive within a moment. Second brother, please make a decision quickly."
Shen Yunzi looked at Liu Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Hide your cavalry first and don't attack. If there are only a few hundred light cavalry, the strength of our Shen family's soldiers is enough to deal with it. If the enemy has subsequent armored cavalry, they will all be equipped." Kill them, then when they charge into the formation, they need your cavalry to counterattack and stop them, so please cooperate."
Liu Zhong gritted his teeth: "Brother Yun, since you have made up your mind, I will act according to your orders. However, I still want to remind you that this war is related to the destiny of the country. There should be no force. Once the war reaches a stalemate, you should give in." The commander-in-chief is here to help, so we still need to speak up as soon as possible."
Shen Yunzi said calmly: "This is natural. The three thousand swordsmen in the rear army cannot really block tens of thousands of cavalry. I still have this self-knowledge, but the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. This battle has been fought so far. Fighting is going on everywhere, and it is not easy to allocate troops to support. It would be better if we can help the commander and help the brothers in other directions share more of the burden. This place is very close to the Chinese army. The commander can take a look at the battle situation. You can see clearly that when there is real danger, you will never abandon me and wait."
Liu Zhong breathed a long sigh of relief: "I will go back to the army and wait for your signal." He said, jumped on the horse beside him, turned around and ran towards the formation.
Shen Qingzhi looked at Liu Zhongyuan's retreating figure and frowned slightly: "Second brother, Ah Zhong's worry is not unreasonable. The fighting situation everywhere is urgent now, and I'm afraid the commander-in-chief won't be able to send troops to rescue us."
Shen Yunzi smiled slightly: "Xanthium, think about it, the commander put us here and sent Liu Zhong to assist, which means that he had long expected that the enemy would attack with the most elite armored cavalry. The Yan State has tens of thousands They are all equipped with armor and cavalry. Either they don’t come, or if they do come, it must be at least tens of thousands, and it is impossible to come only a few hundred. He should have thought of this situation a long time ago, and he must have some back-up plans.”
Shen Qingzhi's brows widened: "That's true. The commander-in-chief has always been unpredictable with his troops, and he will definitely not fight an unprepared battle. However, he didn't tell us these arrangements, not even Ah Zhong. Know. "
Shen Yunzi smiled and nodded: "We, the soldiers of the Shen family in Wu, have been fighting with Tianshi Dao for many years. They are quick and decisive. They have never been the kind of troops that can form a majestic formation and fight head-on. The commander-in-chief knows this well, and uses When troops like us come to fight with armor and cavalry, it is obviously to create opportunities for us to fight in close combat. Even if we use these antlers to resist the horses, we cannot block the impact of armor and cavalry. We are simply unprepared and lured. When the enemy enters the battle, we will destroy some of them if we can. If it is really difficult to stop them, the commander will not sit back and watch us die. Lao San said something right just now, if we shrink our hands and only defend but not attack, that is not our style, and it is not our style. We cannot use our power."
Shen Tianzi laughed: "Second brother is right. When fighting, our Shen family soldiers always advance without retreating and move forward indomitably. No matter whether it is to attack first or to chase and kill the fleeing enemy, no one is braver than us. If we just stick to the formation, , if we shrink back and don't fight, then our own anger will be vented first. Second brother, why don't we ambush first, wait for these hundreds of enemy cavalry to arrive, then kill them, and kill them first."
A cold light flashed in Shen Yunzi's eyes: "What I want to destroy is not these hundreds of forward enemy cavalry, but more armored cavalry, so I have to lure them in instead of annihilating them outside. Press I will act according to my arrangements, and for this battle, keep your spirits up and let the commander see that we, the elite of Wu, are not inferior to Beifu either!"
