Xie Xuan's eyes were shining with light, as if he was considering success or failure. Liu Laozhi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Shuai Xuan, Liu Yu's strategy is too radical and risky. Eighty thousand Beifu, five thousand tigers." , this tiger unit is the sharp knife and elite of the entire army. It can attack the 50,000 elites of the Qin army with one strike. With such unfavorable battlefield conditions, the chance of victory is slim. Once the tiger unit suffers heavy losses, not only will it be impossible to save Hu Bin, it will also severely dampen the morale of our army. I am afraid that as soon as the news of the defeat comes out, all our troops will collapse without a fight."

Liu Yu said loudly: "With the full force of the 80,000-strong army, not only will it be impossible to save Hu Bin, but it will also not be able to lure out the Qin army's siege troops. Liang Chengnai is a veteran general. He is familiar with conventional tactics and cannot be deceived by ordinary tricks." His. If our army is strong, he will retreat to the main camp. Only by attacking the enemy with a small number, dispatching the most elite troops, and pretending to rescue Liang Cheng instead of fighting, will he be deceived. Moreover, , This battle seems to have unfavorable terrain for our army, but the opportunity is still great."

Liu Laozhi sneered: "The enemy has plenty of time to form their formation, I don't see any chance."

Xie Xuan suddenly waved his hand: "Liu Yu, what opportunity are you talking about? Be clear."

Liu Yu nodded and said seriously: "I know very well the combat effectiveness of Liang Cheng's troops. Although their infantry is well-equipped, it is still far behind our Beifu Army soldiers. Even if there are more than 30,000 infantry , even if Luo Jian is in the way, it will be difficult to stop my Beifu warriors."

"But if they send out cavalry to attack, it will be troublesome. If our army wants to force the crossing, we cannot bring heavy weapons. Horses, antlers, and carts, which can prevent cavalry attacks, are not used. Horse traps and trenches There is no time to dig, which means that apart from shooting with bows and crossbows, we have no way to limit the enemy's cavalry assault."

Liu Laozhi nodded: "You kid finally thought of this. Xuan Shuai, Liu Yu has realized that this plan is not feasible, we still have to think of another way."

Liu Yu suddenly shook his head and said: "Liu Yingyang (Liu Laozhi is now General Yingyang and controls more than 5,000 people in the Tiger Army), the villain hasn't finished speaking yet."

Liu Laozhi's expression changed, and just as he was about to get angry, Xie Xuan interrupted him, looked at Liu Yu, and said, "Xiao Yu, I understand what you mean. Do you want to say that the Qin army can restrain our army?" The infantry is originally composed of cavalry, but because they have to block the water to form a formation, the camp is too close to Luojian, so there is no distance and space left for the cavalry to attack?"

Liu Yu's eyes flashed: "That's right. Commander Xuan, if the enemy troops come out of camp and form a formation, then the five or six miles wide river bank will be full of people, and the cavalry will not be able to attack at all, unless they start in advance. Cross the river elsewhere, and then bypass the rear of our army to attack. But as long as we are fast enough, they will never have such a chance. The reason why we only use 5,000 light soldiers to attack is to grab a Due to the speed, Liang Cheng mistakenly thought that he could intercept our army's assault. At the same time, in order to prevent Hu Bin, he would leave a part of the army to prevent Hu Bin's troops from breaking out. Therefore, the enemies in front of us would not exceed 30,000. Five thousand versus thirty thousand , they can’t use cavalry, our chances are not small!”

A smile spread across Xie Xuan's face. He looked at Liu Laozhi and said, "How about it, Laozhi, do you think Xiaoyu's style of play is feasible?"

Liu Laozhi's eyes sparkled, and after pondering for a while, he nodded: "It sounds good, but if Liang Cheng finds that our army's assault speed is very fast, he might as well just let the infantry disperse to the two wings and let the cavalry attack from the camp. , so what?"

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Liang Cheng probably wouldn't have used such a radical style of play from the beginning. Our army forced its way across Luojian, and he attacked half-crossing. He already had an advantage. As a coach, it's hard not to use this advantage." . Moreover, generally speaking, the battle is in a majestic formation, with the shield in front, followed by the archers. If it is a forced crossing, the archers will be required to suppress the opponent's long-range weapons. Therefore, if Liang Cheng sees the number of our troops If it is not enough, he will be afraid that we are suspicious soldiers and the army is ambushing elsewhere. It is impossible for him to leave no backup, and he will not give up the infantry formation when he comes up and use only cavalry to attack."

"Besides, the camp has fences and outer trenches. A large-scale cavalry frontal assault requires filling in the trenches and opening the camp gate. It will be difficult to act like this all of a sudden. Unless Liang Cheng knows all our plans in advance , it is possible to target them accordingly. After all, we are the attacker, and the initiative in this plan is also on our side."

Liu Laozhi nodded, a hint of excitement flashed across his purple face: "Liu Yu is right, we have the initiative to attack. Therefore, no matter how experienced Liang Cheng is, he cannot suddenly Judging our intention, five thousand men attacked, which seemed small, so he would not devote all the main force at once. By the time our army really broke through Luojian and launched an attack with all its strength, it would be too late for him to use cavalry to counterattack. . Speed ​​and concealment are the most important prerequisites for this battle. Commander Xuan, make up your mind! The last general is willing to lead the troops as the vanguard!"

A cold light flashed in Xie Xuan's eyes: "Can the Tiger Troop break through the front? If Liang Cheng can't resist it, and the main force of the Qin Army comes to help, what can be done?"

Liu Laozhi said sternly: "The Tiger Troops are the best elites in the army, and they have a high will to fight. As long as they are not afraid of sacrifice, they will definitely be able to break through Luojian. After landing, everyone knows that there is no way to retreat, and the only way to move forward is to move forward." A glimmer of hope will surely push everyone forward, and I am confident that we can defeat Liang Cheng within three hours!"

Liu Yu suddenly said: "Xuan Shuai, Liu Yingyang, maybe we can be more ruthless and attack at night! Although the risk is higher, once successful, it will take less time and the results will be greater. Rush through After the river, maybe we can defeat Liang Cheng in just two hours!"

Liu Laozhi excitedly punched the palm of his other hand and said with a smile: "Okay, great, Liu Yu, your soldiers are really ruthless and ferocious. I was just about to say a night attack, so you go ahead and say It's out. Anyway, it's a one-shot deal if it doesn't succeed. It's better to fight during the day than to fight at night. It also saves us the need to set fire and smoke to cover up the strength of the troops. Commander Xuan, all I need is that you lead the army to block the reinforcements of the Qin army. As long as you delay In the first half of the day, we can defeat Liang Cheng!"

Xie Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly stood up from the handsome case, looked into Liu Yu's eyes: "Xiao Yu, your suggestion is very good, I will accept it. However, you must remember that this matter must not be done If it's leaked out, it's the same for you and the prisoner. Once you get out of this tent, prepare to attack. Make food at noon tomorrow, set off at midnight, and arrive at Luojian at the second watch. The target is Liang Cheng's head!"
