The fact was as Meng Tian expected, their logistical supplies had been cut off. Before Xiang Yan led his army, he divided his troops to cut off the supply line of Meng Tian's army.
After all, they had the numerical advantage. Even before that, Meng Tian guessed that Xiang Yan would cut off his supplies, but he couldn't send troops to rescue him.
"If it were the king's next target, which battalion would it be?" Xiang Yan couldn't guess which battalion of his would be Meng Tian's next target. She turned to look at Xiong Qi, hoping that Xiong Qi could step into Meng Tian's perspective.
Xiong Qi listened to Xiang Yan's words and put himself into Meng Tian's perspective. After all, he had lived in Qin for half his life. He was also familiar with Meng Wu and Meng Ao and knew their fighting styles. As the third generation of the Meng family, Meng Tian
Naturally, we will inherit the habits of our parents.
"The supply camp!" Xiong Qi glanced at each camp, and finally determined that Meng Tian's target must be their supply camp.
Because Meng Tian's army is short of food, it must have a wave of supplies to continue to support it. Destroying their supply camp will not only get enough food and grass, but at the same time, the Chu army will be in a situation where they are short of food and have to retreat.
Xiang Yan nodded. His first instinct was also to be in the supply camp, but he felt that with Meng Tian's calmness, he should have guessed that he would put the imperial guards in the supply camp to trap him, so he directly rejected his first instinct.
But after hearing Xiong Qi's words, Xiang Yan felt that Meng Tian might have guessed what he had guessed, so he would still attack the supply camp.
It belongs to the infinite matryoshka doll where you guess whether I guess or not.
As for who is at the higher level, the result will only be determined after the battle.
Similarly, Meng Tian was indeed thinking about where Yan would place the Royal Guards. The supply camp was his first instinct, but he also felt that Xiang Yan would guess that he would not go to the supply camp and put the imperial guards on the left and right.
Two wings.
Therefore, both parties are playing games, guessing how many stories the other party is tall!
"The opponent has many soldiers and generals, so they can make many mistakes, but we can only make one mistake!" Meng Tian knew very well that the current situation was very unfavorable to his own side, but he couldn't think of any more solutions.
"Then attack the left wing, force the opponent to show up, and then attack the main camp!" Meng Tian thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.
Since you don't know where the opponent is, then force the opponent to appear. Heavy armored cavalry is not fast, but that is compared to light cavalry and rangers. After all, they are faster than infantry.
Early the next morning, Meng Tian once again led his army to attack the Chu army's left flank.
"Meng Tian's target is actually the left wing!" Xiong Qi stood under the banner of the Chinese army and looked at Xiang Yan helplessly. They guessed wrong!
"No! The opponent's target is still the transport camp!" Xiang Yan shook his head. If Meng Tian's target was really the left wing, it would be impossible to penetrate it so slowly.
Moreover, the battlefield was shrouded in smoke and dust, and it looked like Meng Tian's entire army was attacking the left wing. However, judging from the advancing speed of the Fire Cavalry, this was not all of the Fire Cavalry. There were still large troops that did not appear.
"Not on the left wing?" Meng Tian stood up on horseback, standing behind with a frown on his face.
He tentatively attacked the left wing. Although he encountered resistance, the level of resistance was obviously not that of the Imperial Guards of Chu.
"Then let's go with the flow and break his left wing!" Meng Tian suddenly changed the battle order temporarily.
They just want three days of supplies, not necessarily attacking the opponent's supply camp. They can still get a certain amount of supplies by annihilating the left wing.
"The Qin army's advancing speed has changed. Meng Tian is going to use a trick to attack the left wing!" Xiang Yan looked at the change in the speed of the left wing's advancement and immediately guessed that a large force of fire cavalry had arrived.
"Send the order to the Tenglong Legion to rush to support the left wing. The Royal City Guards will rush to the left wing immediately!" Xiang Yan also issued the order.
Maybe the Tenglong Legion can't stop the fire cavalry from drilling through, but they can definitely entangle the opponent for a while, buying time for the Royal City Guards to arrive.
"Not good!" Meng Tian also felt something was wrong.
The army's penetration speed has slowed down. Although it is still advancing, it has become more difficult. It used to be able to penetrate with one horse and one gun, but now it actually requires two guns!
"Tenglong Legion!" Meng Tian also suddenly thought that they had encountered Xiang Yan's Tenglong Legion. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the sudden advance became difficult.
"Do you want to withdraw?" the deputy general looked at Meng Tian and asked with a frown.
Once they are entangled by the Tenglong Legion, the Royal City Guards will definitely arrive, and then they will really be unable to escape the battle.
Meng Tian looked at the messy battlefield, looking for a direction to break out. The Imperial Guards of Chu had not yet appeared, so it was possible to encounter the opponent in any direction. If he chose the wrong direction, the consequences would be disastrous.
"What would Lord Wu An, Lord Long and the others do?" Meng Tian suddenly thought, if Li Mu and Jin Yao encountered such a situation, what would they, the famous generals in the world, choose?
"Wu An is not sure. His strategic level is too high. It is impossible for the army to fall into such a situation!" The deputy general thought for a moment and said. Li Mu's strategic level is much higher than Xiang Yan and himself, so he will never fall into this situation.
Such a situation, but Long Jun’s words...
"Long Jun?" Meng Tian and the deputy general's eyes lit up as they thought of something.
Yes, Wu'an Junsheng has a high strategic vision and is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but Long Jun is different. Isn't this chaotic fighting situation what Long Jun likes the most?
"Break through? Throw out a hammer and kill them!" Meng Tian laughed.
He has learned a lot from his grandfather Meng Ao and his father Meng Wu, as well as from Li Mu. He has also seen the tactics of Bai Qi, the previous Lord of Wu'an, and naturally also learned the tactics of Lord Long in the Xianyang Academy in Xianyang.
Law.
"Fight, back off and charge towards the central army of Chu!" Meng Tian suddenly ordered, instead of looking for any breakout point, he headed towards the Chu army's central army.
Anyway, I am a heavily armored cavalry. If I can break through my defense, I will lose!
With the direction to move forward, the fire cavalry soldiers no longer fought randomly, but with Meng Tian as the vanguard, they violently attacked the Chu army's central army.
"What the hell?" Xiang Yan was stunned. You only have 50,000 people, how dare you?
This is a Chinese army camp guarded by at least 200,000 troops. Aren't you afraid of death?
But thinking that it was the same thing, Xiang Yan had to move the Royal City Guards to the road between the Fire Cavalry and the Chinese army camp to stop the Fire Cavalry's advance.
"Something's wrong, Meng Tian's fighting style has changed!" Xiang Yan looked ugly. Although the fire cavalry was moving towards the Chinese army, it was not moving in a straight line. Instead, it relied on its excellent battlefield acumen to avoid
Despite the encirclement and interception of the army, they always took advantage of their superior strength to advance in the direction of the Chinese army.
"Dragon Lord... Cheng Xiu!" Xiang Yan finally felt familiar. Isn't this chaotic fighting method the same as Cheng Xiu's fighting method when he fought with him?
