Chapter 1968: Supervising the Right Wing Probing Attack
In the right camp of the Jin army, Liu Yi stood on a watchtower in the camp, wearing the clothes of a soldier. Xie Hun on one side still wore a high crown and tied his hair. Although he was wearing leather armor, his equipment was average to that of the others around him, even the armor.
It was covered with dust. Compared with the generals in standard soldier uniforms, they stood out from the crowd. Xie Hun curled his lips and said, "He Wuji from Zuoying has defeated Zhang Meng and is attacking with all his strength. We are here, right?"
Are you going to move too?"
Liu Yi smiled calmly and waved his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, don't worry or be impatient. The military order we received here is to hold fast, stay in a stalemate with the enemy, and not expose our strength. We did not dispatch an ambush until Liu Jingxuan's troops made a surprise attack. Now
Well, since we still haven’t received a new general order, we should continue to implement it.”
Xi Le, who was on the side, smiled and said, "Xile, since when did you listen to Liu Jinu's orders like this? In the past, you were not someone who listened to orders."
Liu Yi sighed: "There is no way. In the past, I could be said to have formed an independent army. Now, I have to bow my head under the low eaves. Besides, this time I come out, as Liu Jingxuan's subordinate, I have to listen to his orders.
, if we attack against the order and affect his assault, we will be subject to military law afterwards."
Xie Huan gritted his teeth: "But I am not his subordinate, nor Liu Yu's. If you don't go to war, I will just lead the attack with my subordinates. I can't blame you."
Liu Yi said sternly: "Mr. Xie, this is not the time to be willful. The person facing you is not Zhang Meng anyway, so why are you so impatient? Liu Yu's use of such tactics is obviously to attract the enemy's main force and attack the center.
It's best for us to cooperate with him."
Xie Hun's eyes widened in surprise: "What? Attracting enemy troops to attack the center? What does this mean? Doesn't he want to live? The center only has three thousand soldiers and horses, and all our troops are concentrated on the two wings. If Xu Daofu is desperate
Can he block the ground attack?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "I'm afraid Mr. Xie underestimates the veterans of Beifu brought out by your father and uncle. The core elite of the slaves are all veterans who have been in the army for many years since Feishui. They can be counted as a hundred.
He dares to be so confident because he has such confidence in our old brother's fighting ability. The reason why he cannot fight back against the demon thieves' wooden armor and sits back and watches the enemy force break through the gate is just to lure the enemy."
Speaking of this, Liu Yi curled up his lips and looked at Xu Daofu's troops who were making noisy, shouting and shooting arrows loudly in the center, but did not move. He said in a deep voice: "Xu Daofu is also waiting and watching. The reason why he is now
He didn't rescue the left wing or rush straight to the center because he didn't know where Liu Jingxuan was. Once Liu Jingxuan's cavalry appeared, he would attack the center camp, because if I were him, I would do the same!"
When he said this, he said in a deep voice: "Send the order, the three hundred heavy troops in the front row will approach the fence with their bows and shoot at the enemy troops in the trench area, and then quickly withdraw when the enemy counterattacks!"
Xi Sengshi blinked his eyes: "What does this mean? Just now the enemy did not stop them from approaching the fence, and now they are going to step forward and shoot arrows?"
Liu Yi smiled and looked at Meng Chang, who was twirling his beard in silence, and said, "Yanda, please explain."
Meng Chang said calmly: "The reason why we stood still just now was to cooperate with the overall battle situation. Gou Lin is cautious by nature. If we had a tough exchange of fire with him from the beginning, he would probably not move forward. If he formed a tight formation and huddled in
Later, I'm afraid Jingxuan won't be able to find the opportunity to make a full-scale attack."
"But now, Zuoying has shown that our army has a large number of troops. Gou Lin should be worried and put down most of it. After all, just now, he was not sure where the main force of our army was. Now that Zuoying has so many troops, then I
There won't be too many here, but out of caution, he still won't attack the camp all at once. At this time, we used archers to shoot at each other, which seemed that we wanted to stop him to cover up the lack of troops. In this way,
Gou Lin must have fallen into the trap and will launch a sudden attack. Only when he attacks with all his strength and is separated from the front and back is a good time to attack from the flanks. Once Liu Jingxuan's cavalry enters the battle, Xu Daofu will definitely press forward with his army and attack directly.
In the center, the slaves will resist step by step and retreat step by step, and after our army's left and right wings have defeated the enemy in front of them, we will be able to surround Xu Daofu's center on three sides and annihilate them all in one fell swoop!"
Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. After a long time, Xie Hun sighed: "No wonder Liu Yu can be called a famous general in the world. He has won so many battles. It's not for nothing. It's just that his
Can the Central Committee really withstand Xu Daofu's crazy attack?"
Liu Yi curled up his lips: "If he can't stand it, he won't be Liu Yu!"
On the right army of Tianshi Dao, in the center, five hundred disciples of the main altar, all dressed in blue, shrouded in cloaks and wearing ghost faces, stood with swords in hand, exuding a chilling aura, while Lu Lanxiang rode a horse
Baima looked at Gou Lin and said in a deep voice: "Brother Gou, you have been watching the show here for a long time. Now the drums of attack have sounded, it's time to take action!"
Gou Lin gritted his teeth: "Now that the enemy's situation is unknown, we must not act rashly. You see, Zhang Meng of the left army attacked too fiercely and too hastily. He was ambushed and now the whole army is about to collapse. The three leaders of the three religions even joined Zhang Meng.
If they don't save me, if I am ambushed again, will they come to save me? If both our wings collapse, how long can the center hold on?"
Lu Lanxiang shook his head: "Don't even think about it. There are five to six thousand Jin troops at Zhang Meng's place. How many of them are left in the central and right camps? The more the left army collapses, the more it means that we have a chance in person. Now
If we don’t attack, how long will we wait?”
Gou Lin shook his head: "I have to be responsible for the lives of these seven thousand soldiers. However, since the third leader has given the order, I will follow the order and try to attack first. Third Senior Sister, please be patient."
As he spoke, he said to the messenger on the side: "Send an order to Senior Brother Jie in front to send a thousand light infantry forward to attack the gate, and five hundred archers to cover behind. Remember, retreat quickly when ambushed, and don't be reluctant to fight!"
"
As his military order was issued, Gou Jie, who was about a hundred paces away from the gate, had already deployed his troops and waved his sword. More than a thousand light infantrymen, mostly the heavy baggage soldiers who had filled the trenches before, were almost without armor.
Wearing a leather helmet, he took some long swords and wooden spears and rushed forward. Five hundred lightly-armed archers stood in the trench line, drawing their bows and not firing.
Just when these light infantry were more than ten steps away from the fence, hundreds of archers suddenly rushed out from behind the fence on the opposite side. Through the gap in the fence, they fired a burst of fire at the enemy soldiers approaching outside. Gou Jie
He quickly waved his sword and said: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
In the center, Gou Lin said with a smile: "Did you see it, Third Senior Sister, the enemy is indeed ambushing me. If I listen to your words and attack across the board, I'm afraid the result will be the same as Zuoying. Look..."
Lu Lanxiang laughed and pointed at the sparse and weak bows and arrows in front of her: "Are you sure this is an ambush?"
