"Bo Yan, what do you think Yuan Yin will do next?" Bai Tu asked Lu Xun.
After he officially became a disciple of Lu Su, Lu Kang gave him the cousin Boyan.
"If I were Yuan Yinbu, no matter who was Yuan Yin, I should have understood by now that it is difficult for a city to defend itself in front of Baigong Pao. We must send an army tonight to re-station Xiaoyaojin." Lu Xun said.
What Lu Xun said is also the crux of Yuan Yin's regret now!
Facing the fierce attack, it was obvious that Qichun and Guangling were not the same Jiangdong army, so Yuan Yin chose to defend the city.
Yuan Yin's idea is very simple. The Huainan sailors in Chaohu Lake are vulnerable. Under the severe drought, the water in Nanfei has stopped flowing, and the water level in Beifei is lower than in previous dry periods.
The reason why Hefei is an important military base that is easy to defend but difficult to attack is not only because of its strong and thick walls, but also because the surrounding Baohe River, Yinhe River, Louhe River, and Chaohu Lake serve as moats to protect it!
However, due to the severe drought, only large areas of tidal flats were left even around Xiaoyaojin.
Therefore, Yuan Yin put self-preservation first and gave up the peripheral water villages and even the most important camp in Hefei, Xiaoyaojin.
Bai Tu didn't put any effort at all. He only used a team of light steps to clear the way with wooden planks, and then led Jiangdong's elite soldiers and siege equipment all the way from Chaohu to the gate of Hefei City.
If it were Lu Xun who was defending the city, even if the river was dry now, he would never give up and set up defenses on the tidal flat. After all, the mud at the bottom of the river was still there. If he defended the city along the coast, Jiangdong soldiers would have to pay a heavy price for crossing there.
In fact, Yuan Yin is also very simple. He always thought that as long as he defended the city wall and waited until Bai Tu could no longer bear the consumption of military rations for the drought-stricken troops and returned to Chaoxian County or even Ruxukou, he would have won. Then, when the drought passed in the next year, the water level would increase.
If the price rises again, Hefei will still be the iron-clad Hefei!
After all, in the current climate, Bai Tu is stationed outside the city and has to dig his own wells. On the contrary, Hefei City is surrounded by rivers after all. Even if there is a severe drought, water in the city can still be guaranteed.
However, what Yuan Yin didn't expect was that Bai Tu actually took out the Baigong Cannon, a sharp weapon specially used to punish "defensive defenders"
If the camps around Hefei are still there now, Bai Tu may not dare to shoot his heavy Bai Gong cannon outside Hefei!
"So we can ambush near the mighty gate tonight?" Bai Tu asked.
There are seven city gates in Hefei, two each in the east, west and south. During the day, Bai Tu attacked the tower of Nanxunmen, commonly known as Xiaonanmen.
Xiaoyaojin is near Weiwumen, which is also known as Dadongmen in later secular terms.
How close are the two? Take the subway and get off at Dadongmen Station, and walk a few hundred meters to Xiaoyaojin Park.
"Yuan Yin may not be so careless. He should send someone to investigate. Although the moat has dried up, there is no place for an ambush nearby, so it is always beneficial to intercept it." Lu Xun said.
The reason why Lu Xun followed Bai Tu with the army was because he had someone who gave him an idea.
After all, although the situation in Jiangdong is good now, Bai Tu is working with cattle and making salt, so he is always worried that someone will cause trouble, so Lu Su took the initiative to ask Ying to stay behind and take charge.
However, he recommended his young apprentice to follow Bai Tu as a consultant.
If it were someone else leading the army, he might not be able to trust a little brat, but Bai Tu was different from his nephew, so of course he trusted him.
The reason why he attacked Xiaonanmen was that it was relatively dry and the terrain was more conducive to the use of Baigong's artillery. Facts have proved that Lu Xun had indeed "reached" Yuan Yin in this step.
What Jiangdong's army has to do now is to grab the elephant's legs that Yuan Yin wants to hold up.
That night, the Huainan Army first discovered the 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers who had moved to the east. However, under the command of Lu Xun, they first retreated to the other side of the tidal flat formed after the Nanfei River receded, and then steadily fought with the Huainan Army who wanted to forcefully mobilize troops.
For half the night.
Although Lu Bu's cavalry was unable to attack due to terrain reasons, and the Huainan Army that founded the country was no less elite than the Jiangdong Army that had been carefully trained for a long time. As for combat experience, both sides were relatively lacking, but in terms of morale, Jiangdong Army clearly had the upper hand.
Advantage.
After all, one party was determined to show mercy, but the other party was reluctantly ordered to go to Xiaoyaojin to set up defenses after being frightened by Bai Gong's cannon during the day.
Moreover, under the command of Lu Xun, Jiangdong Army always stayed at its original position along the river, forcing the opponent into the center of the river, which is the current location of the tidal flat.
Under the constraints of the silt, the Huainan Army, whose morale was already low, was even more at a disadvantage.
Because the existence of tidal flats will interfere with the levitation force of the "war horses", the cavalry of the Castle Princess World cannot march in the mud, so they lack harvesting power.
A night battle, and also an ambush battle, is different from the open and bright confrontation between the two armies during the day. Not only can it not be commanded by flags from a high platform, but the signal range of the "handsome flag" will also be affected by the night.
Therefore, there is no need to consider the fine formation changes. If you can remain calm and obey the basic orders of the command, you are already considered an elite.
Therefore, the number of Jiangdong's troops dispatched could not be too large. Even if Lu Bu personally led the troops, they could only dispatch less than 10,000 people.
As for commanding 100,000 people in vain? It is simply impossible. It is necessary to arrange other generals to fight independently under the grand strategic policy. Whether there is a tacit understanding among the generals in other departments is another matter.
Because with Commander Qi around, Lu Bu couldn't use his own advantages to charge everywhere.
Under the commander's banner, Lu Xun also followed Lu Bu nervously. For this flying general, Lu Xun was still a little frightened.
However, Lu Bu did not make it difficult for him. Although it was a bit impossible for him to listen to the advice of a brat. After all, Lu Bu had never been known for being good at talking. Lu Xun, who had no achievements, was praised to the sky by Lu Su and Lu Kang.
, could not convince Lu Bu, but this time Lu Bu still followed Bai Tu's words and was willing to serve as Lu Xun's "microphone" and "bodyguard".
If someone else had been recommended, even his godson's persuasion would have been useless, Lu Bu would have done it himself.
However, Lu Xun's words are very clear in Bai Tu. He is Lu Su's student, and Lu Su is his cousin. From this, it can be deduced that Lu Xun is his grandson of Lu Bu!
In this way, even if Lu Xun didn't call him "Godfather", Lu Bu still had some control over him.
With the "commanding power" of Lu Bu's battle armor and the signal amplification effect of the commander's flag, it is more than enough to command these 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers.
After all, the number and accuracy of the troops that can be commanded are not only related to the general's own ability and command method, but also related to the number of junior corps commanders and commanders, the degree of tacit understanding with the commander, and the perfection of the training of Ji Zao soldiers.
.
The Jiangdong Army is definitely the easiest army to command, but Lu Bu's tacit understanding with the troops other than the cavalry is average, and he is not good at commanding with a commander's flag.
What Lu Bu likes most is to directly lead the charge, lead thousands of cavalry, follow his own pace, and "fight" and that's it!
However, now they only use Lu Bu's armor, which has its own commanding effect, making it easier for Lu Xun to command. Lu Bu didn't say a word during the whole process, which made Lu Xun flattered.
It's just that Lu Xun always felt that General Lu looked at him strangely, as if he wasn't happy to call him "General Lu"?
Apart from this point, Lu Xun felt great when he commanded the battle for the first time, and he even vaguely felt like he had awakened to a new strategy!
During this period, Yuan Yin's choice was also beyond Lu Xun's expectations. Because he kept the opponent in the mud throughout the fight, Jiangdong Army could be said to have taken a huge advantage. Originally, Lu Xun speculated that Yuan Yin would retreat soon.
However, what Lu Xun didn't expect was that the fighting lasted for most of the night, with the opponent "adding fuel" several times. In the end, even the southern camp was alarmed. It was not until Bai Tu personally led the army that the opponent was frightened away.
As the "Lord", Bai Tu has the strongest compatibility with all the grassroots officers. As long as the military's morale is stable, he can command many people. This is also the reason why, as the "Lord", he often personally leads the troops into battle.
.
In the second half of the night battle, Lu Xun's command was a little weak. After all, it was the first time and the time was inevitably short. Moreover, Lu Xun was still young. His official seals and military symbols were only the most basic, and his mental strength could not be maintained for too long.
"Topography" status.
Different from Bai Tu's blank slate, Lu Xun had two major strategies at the beginning of his awakening to view the terrain and defeat the enemy.
The former is equivalent to an auxiliary function. After consuming mental energy, you can view the battlefield situation from the "perspective of terrain". Viewing the battlefield is like overlooking a sand table!
If Chen Gong's "clear strategy" is a few cameras, then Lu Xun's "viewing the terrain" is the game's mini-map. Although it has no details, it can see the general terrain and the direction of our army, and the enemy troops far away are
In "Battlefield Fog", there is no perspective effect.
As for the "definitive formation", it is equivalent to a killing move, which requires the use of terrain and military strength to create a decisive blow. Lu Xun even doubted whether he would ever have the opportunity to launch a complete "definitive formation" in his lifetime.
At dawn, Bai Tu counted the casualties last night and found that nearly two thousand Jiangdong Army had been killed. If Bai Tu had not also sent reinforcements, this would have been close to the critical point of defeat of eight thousand soldiers.
The opponent's battle losses, even after Lu Xun weakened, were always at 151. In the first half of the battle, he was beaten in the mud. Afterwards, it was estimated that the opponent's casualties were nearly 5,000!
The number of people who participated in the battle before and after should have exceeded half of the Hefei defenders.
What made Bai Tu even more surprised was that Yuan Yin did not go out of the city to collect the corpses the next day. Even though Bai Tu had already withdrawn from the Weiwu Gate and even took the initiative to raise a banner asking each other to collect the corpses, the city of Hefei remained motionless.
With the current hot weather, the corpses will rot in a short time. Not only the corpses of the officers will cause plague, but the remains of Ji Zao soldiers will also produce gas that is detrimental to the army if allowed to rot!
Bai Tu has decided that if the other party doesn't come out in the afternoon, he can only collect the body on his behalf.
Of course, if Baitu were to do it, he would definitely dig a big hole, set it on fire and then fill it up. It would be impossible to do the same to the enemy as he did to his own people, and try to preserve the ashes.
Unexpectedly, before noon, Bai Tu received another surprising news: traces of a large-scale march were discovered in the north of Hefei!
Originally, Bai Tu had no hope of being able to surround him and come to his rescue. After all, Yuan Shu had a history of "seeing death without rescuing him."
The fact is indeed the case. The army discovered was not Shouchun's support, but Yuan Yin took advantage of the night battle at Weiwu Gate last night to escape from the North Gate with his true confidants Nanyang's elite soldiers!
After Lu Xun learned the news, he was also surprised. He had never thought before that the enemy would be so unscrupulous and even give up an important town like Hefei so easily? What kind of cool maneuver is this?
No matter how smart Lu Xun is in the future, he is still young and still has no sense of speculation about "people's hearts".
