"Did Mr. Tao get the news? Does Zhao Qinglong's traitor have the courage to go out of the city and give it a try?"
"Well, I'm not worried about this. Although Zhao Qinglong is a little clever, he is too greedy and likes to take risks. Now that I have given him such an opportunity, he will not give up no matter what. But compared to Zhao Qinglong
Qinglong, I'm more worried about that young master. Although you admire him so much, I just can't see what kind of abilities he has."
In the early morning, under the leadership of Tao Qian, the powerful coalition army of more than 10,000 people left their temporary military camp and once again embarked on the road to Qiyuan City. However, due to repeated defeats in the previous period, except for
The more than a thousand people around Tao Qian seemed to have a lot of fighting spirit, but the remaining soldiers of the powerful coalition seemed to have low morale.
Tao Qian didn't seem to care about such a troop with low average morale, and to Li Shushi's surprise, Tao Qian and his troops were located much further forward than Li Shushi had imagined. In addition to seeming to prevent the opponent's surprise attack, Tao Qian
In addition to the small number of powerful troops placed in front of the commander's flag, several powerful troops including Le's and Feng's troops were located at the rear of Tao Qian's troops.
However, Tao Qian didn't seem too worried about such a formation that would easily bring the Chinese army into contact with the opponent. At this time, he was chatting with a guy in a soldier's uniform with a leisurely look on his face.
If Li Shushi were here, he would be greatly surprised by Tao Qian's behavior at this moment, because Tao Qian's attitude towards the guy in soldier's uniform did not show any arrogance, but he seemed to respect him very much.
. You must know that Tao Qian was not polite to his superiors who were from the same hometown as him. He even ridiculed Zhang Wen who recommended him because he looked down on his abilities. This shows that the man wearing the uniform of a soldier
Obviously it's not an ordinary thing.
Of course, what is even more surprising is that the more than a thousand soldiers around Tao Qian did not seem to be much surprised by this situation. Instead, they looked like it was taken for granted. The identity of this man who hid his identity is worth pondering.
"Haha, Mr. Tao must have underestimated that boy. Although that boy looks lazy and seems like a playboy with no ability, he is actually very smart, and his martial arts skills are very poor and he is not a graduate of the four major shrines. But I'm afraid
He has another adventure, at least those few of his spells are quite difficult to deal with.
Ah. What's more, there are many talented people around him. The two strong men you mentioned who often follow him should be Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Although they are not famous, to be honest, I can't beat them.
Even though the others haven't seen any of the two, they are probably tough guys to deal with."
"Even you are no match for those two people. Could it be that the enthronement of the enemy chief and Lian Yuxihe was not just because of Lu Gong's skill?"
"Perhaps it remains to be doubted how much Lu Gong's role played. The right rider once told me that the boy was the grandson of the old general Tong Yuantong who lived in seclusion in the north. Although he was just adopted, he was only two years old.
The relationship is very close, so I think if General Tong is willing to take action, I am afraid that Lu Gong will also take the initiative to abdicate in favor of others."
"It turns out that he is really the grandson of General Tong, so I think the soldiers under his command should be enough to take on this important task."
Regarding the contempt for Li Shushi in Tao Qian's words, the man in soldier's uniform smiled and said nothing. For him, although Tao Qian in front of him was quite to his liking, the two of them had not been together for a long time after all. It was short-lived, so there was no need to say it so clearly. Maybe after this battle, Tao Qian would look at Li Shushi in a different light.
However, what I have to admit is that he is actually quite envious and jealous of Li Shushi's achievements. After all, not only did he defeat the Xianbei army's attack, but he was also lucky enough to kill the opponent's leader in the end. , but although there are strong opponents here, they are still suppressed by the Qiang army, which is mainly composed of Huangzhong Yicon. Judging from the results alone, maybe Zhang Wen is not as good as Li Shushi in terms of troop command. Every time the man thinks about it, Even here, I couldn’t help but smile to myself secretly.
Of course, what this man who concealed his identity didn’t know was that Li Shushi might indeed be inferior to even Zhang Wen in terms of command, but Li Shushi was very self-aware, so he handed over the work of formulating the battle plan to a more experienced leader. Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others who were good at it handed over the commanding work to Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others, and they just contributed what they could as a qualified mascot, but they achieved good results. result.
"It's easy to succeed, as long as you leave all the problems to the experts. The only thing you have to do is to accept them with an open mind." This is Li Shushi's summary of the successful experience of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Empire.
Think about it, Liu Bang's advisers were only Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and barely counting Han Xin and Li Shiqi. Their number was far inferior to that of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but he achieved the greatest success. So although Li Shushi had many outstanding civil servants around him, However, because Li Shushi boldly delegated power and allowed them to use their talents, a very good chemical reaction was produced.
As for the generals, since most of them are semi-finished products, it is easier for Li Shushi to establish a core and then make some checks and balances. Not only will it not damage the combat effectiveness of the army, but healthy competition can also invisibly become a driving force for the generals.
Although Li Shushi could not shout out such rhetoric as "a bad general is a good general" like Liu Bang, he could still learn from it a little bit. At the same time, he also created a strong and trustworthy core team, and was able to do Perhaps this is the reason why Li Shushi has been successful so far by using his own knowledge and special abilities to make the best use of others' talents.
Tao Qian's plan was implemented very smoothly. After receiving the news, Zhao Qinglong couldn't restrain his greed and decided to take this opportunity to kill Tao Qian. He even planned to take advantage of the impact of Tao Qian's death on the morale of the powerful coalition forces. Defeating the entire powerful coalition forces gave him more room for movement and breathing time. Because he had such a huge appetite, he not only went to fight in person, but also brought out all the troops in Qiyuan City, leaving only a few The women and children accompanying the army were in the city.
This desperate behavior, like that of a gambler who loses his mind, is not because Zhao Qinglong is stupid, but his heart is not as crazy as he shows. In fact, he knows very well that relying solely on those miscellaneous and infighting The powerful coalition forces do not pose much of a threat to him, because he can easily exploit the conflicts between them to reap his benefits.
But if Tao Qian loses consecutive battles and has to change his strategy and adopt siege tactics, then he and his army will really be in trouble. After all, even if he can obtain the needed supplies through gray channels by then, the required
The price to pay will be quite huge, the kind of soft knife that cuts flesh.
As a result, when he wanted to resist, he found that he had been slaughtered by the butcher without even realizing it. As long as the powerful forces defended each checkpoint and resisted his desperate counterattack, there would be only a dead end for his army.
Even if he could break out of the encirclement, the losses he suffered would make it impossible for him to stand up.
Why do you think Zhao Qinglong thinks so much? The reason is that Lu Zhi used this space-compressing tactic to gradually suppress Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army until they were unable to move around Guangzong City. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo, he couldn't be fake anymore.
In the battle to release the water, I am afraid that Huangfu Song could call it a day and return to Beijing for the winter festival without having to cross the Yellow River, instead of having to stay in the ice and snow for several months.
Of course, Tao Qian is not unaware of this. He knows that this is the safest method. However, the battle between the Han and the Qiang people is not going well, so even a little turbulence on the flanks may become the overwhelming balance in the hearts of the soldiers.
The last straw, in order to ensure that the frontline soldiers do not have unnecessary worries, Tao Qian must make a quick decision. If he can get a 10% glorious victory, then maybe a little processing can also improve the morale of the soldiers.
.
Although neither side seems to be able to afford it, Tao Qian seems to be more anxious. However, due to information asymmetry, Zhao Qinglong does not know where his advantage lies. Perhaps in his opinion, Tao Qian cannot defeat him.
It was just a sign that the officers and soldiers wanted to show off their force. Tao Qian's various arrangements actually suited his taste and made him less worried.
So, the two parties, neither of whom could afford it, sounded the clarion call for a decisive battle on this spring morning.
In fact, for Li Shushi, after experiencing the battle with the ferocious Xianbei people, the pressure caused by the combat power of these thieves has been much less, and the cooperation of the soldiers is much more skilled and tacit than before.
.
Of course, the above advantages are not limited to the members of Li Shushi's mercenary group. What surprised Li Shushi was that although the powerful disciples from Fushi and the servants who followed and protected them could not compare with Li Shushi's regular army in terms of combat effectiveness, they were
The degree of tacit cooperation is even better than that of Li Shushi's troops. This also gives Li Shushi a new understanding of the strength of these powerful people who live in areas with the most frequent interactions with foreign races. Well, Jia Xu and Cao Ling seem to have another
New job.
The troops Tao Qian faced were quite resilient. Although they had to withstand most of the blows from Zhao Qinglong's troops, they advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, allowing the seriously injured to receive timely treatment. Of course, what Li Shushi and Tao Qian found most incredible was that Diao Yin
Headed by Feng
The mighty Shangjun seemed to have been actively involved in the attack from the beginning, in sharp contrast to Le Shi, who had shrunk his troops from the beginning in order to protect himself. This is why Tao Qian's more than a thousand men were able to hold off Zhao Qinglong's army and let Li Shushi
Important reasons to have the opportunity to start.
If the war situation develops like this, Tao Qian may not even need to consider siege warfare, because Zhao Qinglong's troops are obviously unlikely to escape when they are surrounded by enemies from behind and with low morale. It's just an accident.
It always happens at this time.
"We can't continue like this. If we continue to let it go, that motley crew from nowhere will take the lead."
Looking at Li Shushi's troops who had already rushed to a place not far from Zhao Qinglong's personal guards, and then seeing the Leshi tribe that had been completely squeezed to the edge of the battlefield due to the previous contraction of troops, the leader of this troops
The leader and head of the Le family, Le Fu, finally made a voice of reluctance.
"No matter what, if we are overtaken by those boys who come out of nowhere or damn barbarians from other places, can I, the Leshi, be able to raise my head again? Huh, don't blame me for being cruel. Who told you that you don't know how to advance or retreat?
Woolen cloth."
Therefore, in Li Shushi and Tao Qian's "I had expected it" expressions at the same time, the Leshi tribe located at the rear of the powerful coalition suddenly turned their guns and launched an attack on the original friendly forces.
