Because there were only 500 people, large-scale mobile operations could not be launched, and the journey here was long and difficult, so they only carried 20 armored ballistas.
Chen Xiaohu arranged all these ballistas on the streets facing the four city gates. Once the city is defeated, he will engage in the most brutal street fighting with the opponent until the last soldier is killed!
Baili no longer stayed at the county government office, but lived directly in the archery tower above the main city gate. This was his Chinese army tent.
"Let me tell you, there is no need to have such a big battle." Qiuyue took the initiative to ask for a fight, "Can't you just go directly to the Xinghe camp and stab that Bu He to death?"
Her mind is too simple. If it were so simple, would she still be of use?
Li Tanhua had already left.
Firstly, the opponent's camp must be heavily guarded and there must be many experts guarding it. Secondly, don't we not want to kill that Bu He? Why? Just for our Xuanming County to have long-term peace and stability...
The most excited person must be Ouyang Yunyi, who can't sit still with excitement, "Actually, I don't need Sister Qiuyue to take action at all. I can break through their camp by myself. If you don't believe me, I will give you a show when they come!"
"I'll go with you." Xiao Ye was also very excited, saying that he felt itchy after not having had a fight for a long time.
"I won't accompany you." Ren Pijiang said that he was too lazy to move.
"I haven't gone into battle to kill the enemy for a long time, so I might as well take you two little ones to play tricks with them." Li Tanhua is now at the level of a general, but he still likes to charge into battle and take the lead.
"Any one of us can go, but you can't, Brother Tanhua." Baili said.
"Why?" Ouyang Yunyi frowned, "His life is precious?"
"It can be said that Brother Tanhua plays an important role in Yanyun. Together with Zhuge Xiaosheng and Dugulou, we can support our Yanyun County. If he makes a mistake, the sky in the northwest of Yanyun will collapse. ." Baili said.
"Hahaha, Baili's words are serious. Even if I, Li Tanhua, die, won't I still have you?" Li Tanhua laughed.
"I can't." Baili shook his head, "It's far from good."
"I'll go if he dies!" Ouyang Yunyi still doesn't believe it. In terms of martial arts, bravery, leading troops, and fighting, I am not inferior to him in everything, but above him.
"Leading troops is not an easy task." Baili Qingyun said with a smile, "Do you think it's enough just to be able to fight?"
"Isn't leading troops just about fighting?" Ouyang Yunyi said, "I don't care, leading the brothers is just a charge... Isn't it okay if I win?"
"You have a thousand men, and the other side has a thousand men. They are meeting on the grass in front. Both sides are cavalry and are of equal strength. How do you want to fight?" Li Tanhua said suddenly.
"How to fight? Can't we just rush in and kill him?" Ouyang Yunyi said.
"Then if the opponent forms a circular formation with a cart, with archers in the middle and spearmen behind the cart, and they will release arrows when you are halfway through, it will cause great casualties to your side, and when you rush close, they will The offensive will be blocked by their carts, and the cavalry charge cannot be stopped..." Li Tanhua said, dipping her hands in tea and writing on the table.
Your front army was blocked by the cart, but the rear army rushed up. Wouldn't everyone be huddled together and unable to move?
In the chaos, everyone became a target for others.
Ouyang Yunyi thought about it. Is this really what happened? Can I be so defensive?
Li Tanhua said yes, why not? But if the opponent does not charge you at all, but uses the mobility advantage of the cavalry to attack you with bows and arrows, how can you defend?
The cart outside can't defend against the crossbow arrows fired from above. If you use your shield to block it, what will happen if the other party uses rockets?
Don't forget that you are cavalry and you have war horses. Once there is a fire in the formation, those war horses will be frightened first, and there is no need for others to attack you. You yourself will be in chaos first.
This is just talking about using rockets. What if we use catapults or artillery? Are you just going to stand there and be beaten?
Ouyang Yunyi was shocked when he heard this. You didn't say that the other party had artillery and catapults!
"I didn't say yes, but I didn't say no either. As a general leading troops, you should know yourself and the enemy. How come you don't even know this? You dare to fight with others without even knowing the enemy's situation? Have you forgotten? How did they fall into the pit with five hundred soldiers?" Li Tanhua said with a smile.
"You're trying to trick me on purpose!" Ouyang Yunyi became angry.
"It doesn't matter if I play tricks on you. You'll be angry at most. But if the enemy plays tricks on you, it will cost you your life! Besides, I'm not playing tricks on you. It's just you who are confused. Just believe me when I say there are a thousand people on the other side. Did you take it seriously when I said they were all cavalry? You didn't ask them if they had any follow-up troops, or whether they were heavy cavalry or light cavalry?" Li Tanhua became serious again.
"Ouyang, don't pay attention to him, he is just playing tricks on you!" Qiuyue said.
"Yes, I'm playing tricks on you, but you don't even know if I'm playing tricks on you, so how can you tell the enemy general's thoughts? He may attack, hold on, make a detour, or retreat. Can you tell What is his real intention?" Li Tanhua was aggressive.
Ouyang Yunyi stopped talking because he felt that what Li Tanhua said made sense...
"Of course, sometimes leading troops may not mean that you are proficient in the art of war. For example, our boss is not good at fighting, but he won the few battles he led us to. Why do you think this is?" Li Tanhua asked.
"Huh, why bother asking? It's just because there are Zhuge Xiaosheng, Dugulou, and you, a dead monk." Ouyang Yunyi said dullly.
"Yes, this is the boss's brilliance and the correct way to employ people. He doesn't know how to fight, so he never interferes with our command of operations and firmly supports the battle plans we have formulated! If he messes around Commander, Yanyun County will not be in this situation today." Li Tanhua said.
"Tch, I understand this too. If I have your help, I can win every time." Ouyang Yunyi said forcefully.
"Well, if you are the boss of Xuanming City now, then let me ask you, among us, who would you appoint as the commander-in-chief besides me?" Li Tanhua asked.
"Brother Baili, do you still need to ask?" Ouyang Yunyi answered without thinking.
"Baili has great martial arts skills and is good at government affairs, but he doesn't understand the art of war at all and has never led an army to fight. Moreover, he is still new here and is not familiar with the local situation at all. You want him to be the commander? This is not child's play. Really! More than 10,000 people in Xuanming City will die because of your ridiculous decision!" Li Tanhua said angrily.
"Uh...that's Chen Xiaohu, right?" Ouyang Yunyi blinked at Li Tanhua.
"Chen Xiaohu is a very good general, with a smart mind and bravery in combat. However, he has experienced too few battles and lacks experience. He can easily command five hundred or even thousands of people, but our Xuanming City is participating in the war now. There are four to five thousand people, and it would be quite difficult for him to command such a large-scale combat operation."
