At the same time, in the Xiongnu cavalry formation opposite Liu Yu's formation, under a high-flying flag with the word "Ju", Ju Nan frowned, holding a riding whip, pointing at the five-row formation,
Liu Yu's troops, who were marching towards their own side, said to Shao Bao on the side: "General Shao, what do these Jin troops mean? Are they looking for death?"
Shao Bao curled up his lips: "The hundreds of Jin troops wearing blue clothes and brisk and agile came to lure us. Originally, the general wanted to wait and see, but the deputy commander insisted on sending troops to fight back. Only then did we let us
Here, the more than a thousand Jin troops appear to be in good order and with high morale, but there must be some deceit among them!"
Ju Nan nodded: "Yes, in broad daylight, there are only a thousand infantrymen, but they take the initiative to attack us, more than ten thousand cavalry. If they are not brave and reckless, extremely stupid, there is an ambush or deceit! According to you, this
Is there any place nearby where I can set up an ambush?"
Shao Bao looked around, but still shook his head: "You can't tell, this battlefield is very strange. There are long grasses half as tall as a man everywhere. It is very easy to ambush a large group of people. I think the enemy is well prepared.
Even those light-armored soldiers in blue have disappeared, I'm afraid the enemy is just trying to lure us here and kill us with an ambush!"
Ju Nan was furious and said: "I have more than 10,000 cavalry, how can they be wiped out so easily?! There is no big camp here, I won't let them take advantage of it like Du Yan did! But...
"
Having said this, Ju Nan sneered and said: "The situation on this battlefield is indeed unclear. Let's do this, General Shao. Your two thousand troops have always been the elite of the rear. This time, they are the front troops. Hit them and try to test the reality. If
We only have these more than a thousand men and horses, so destroy them. If there is an ambush, retreat quickly. We still stick to the original plan, with the elite troops behind us and the big army going first. We have horses, and they can't keep us!"
A look of dissatisfaction flashed across Shao Bao's face, and he muttered in his heart: "Why is it me again?" But he did not dare to say anything more. He only agreed and rode forward, with about two thousand light cavalry,
Following his movements, the cavalry formation quickly began to form in front.
Liu Yu had a relaxed look on his face, holding his long arm, taking firm and standard steps, and moved forward step by step. Xiang Jing, who was standing next to him, blinked and said, "Brother Jinu, let's, let's really do it."
Are we going to start a fight with the enemy cavalry like this? If we walk another two hundred steps, we will be out of the grassy area. By then, Hulu will be able to see our details at a glance!"
Liu Yu didn't stop and said with a smile: "Can't they clearly see our number now?"
Xiang Jing stamped his foot anxiously, which made him stop for half a step and almost bumped into the person behind him. He quickly took two steps forward and whispered as he walked: "Brother Jinu, we are still in the grass at least now.
The enemy cavalry will still be afraid that we have an ambush and will not dare to charge with all our strength. If we are out of the grass and on a plain, and the enemy cavalry charges and kills us, will we still have a way to survive?"
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Tieniu, today I will talk to you about the art of war. The so-called art of war is nothing more than fighting psychological warfare with the enemy. Showing what you can't do when you can, and showing what you can do when you can't. The more we do this
With a small number of people and taking the initiative to attack, the enemy becomes more panicked. They don't know how many soldiers can be ambushed in this bush. If they had taken the initiative to attack, they would have just rushed over. How could they wait until now?"
Xiang Jing's expression calmed down a little, and his walking became much smoother: "But, after we go out, we can't confuse them. Then we can see how many people are there at a glance."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "But the grass behind us is still there, the wind blows and the grass is low, so we can't see how many ambushes there are, so they still don't dare to attack. There are more than a thousand of us, they will think that we are luring the enemy, and they will only add more
I'm getting suspicious. Did you see that now they have divided their forces and only left two thousand cavalry to line up in front? They must have used these two thousand cavalry to attack us."
Xiang Jing Dingqing looked at it and said with a smile: "It's exactly what you said. However, even if there are only two thousand cavalry, we still have an advantage on this plain. Should we put down the horses and antlers and put them down?"
Before the formation, are you prepared to prevent an impact?"
Liu Yu laughed and suddenly stood on the spot. He shook his long fingers in the air a few times. This signal was quickly seen clearly by the entire army, and everyone stopped in unison.
The long arms of the soldiers in the front row were all leveled, lowered, and pointed forward.
Xiang Jing put down the gun and whispered: "Brother Jinu, we just came out of the grass and formed an array here. Do we want to wait for the enemy to attack?"
Liu Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, that's what we want. We will form an array at this junction. The enemy doesn't know the reality. Even the two thousand cavalry don't dare to attack at full speed. Our troops
The array and crossbows are enough to defeat the enemy. Soldiers in the back row, intercept your spears and prepare to fly and shoot at the enemy!"
Xiang Jing reacted and laughed loudly: "Yes, we still have this trick, just in time to use it. These Huns cavalry must not know how powerful our flying spear is. Brothers, intercept it!"
At the same time as Liu Yu gave the order, Shao Bao on the opposite side had also formed a formation. The sturdy Xiongnu Qingqi, either a team of a hundred people or a team of sixty or seventy people, were divided according to tribes. The men of a tribe
A small team was formed, led by their respective commanders. It was noisy, but in front of the Jin army, groups of small cavalry formations were formed in the form of wedges or trapezoids. Their respective commanders were working hard in front of the formation.
He continued to boost the morale of his subordinates, and from time to time whipped a few soldiers who were a little timid. Different languages from different tribes, various languages, accompanied by hoarse howls and curses, became the main theme on this side.
Shao Bao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. A lieutenant beside him, named Shu Yeke, quietly came up to him: "General, it's difficult for our troops to stay still. Let's charge first."
, it’s clear that he wants to consume us, so we can’t completely listen to him.”
Shao Bao sighed: "Of course I know this, but he is the commander-in-chief, and I have to listen to him here. Besides, someone has to charge first in a battle. I think there may be an ambush in this Jin army, and there is a possibility that there is an ambush in the grass behind.
Ninth, there is an ambush. You lead the 800 cavalry to charge first. Remember, don’t charge directly into the formation. Follow our Huns’ cavalry and shooting method, pass by the enemy formation, and shoot around the formation. This way you can test the strength of the enemy’s troops!”
Shu Yeke nodded: "Then how far do we have to rush to the enemy's formation?"
Shao Bao curled up his lips and said, "It seems that the Jin army is well prepared. They may release their resistance horses in a while. It is useless to rush forward. Just rush fifty steps in front of the enemy's line and pass by in a diagonal line!"
Shu Yeke laughed: "I will let the Jin army know that we are good at riding and shooting. Brothers, follow me!"
