Sun Chu frowned, looked to the left and right, and suddenly said: "Xiao Guizi originally wanted to bypass the two wings, but he hasn't moved out yet. What's going on?"
Zhu Lingshi smiled slightly: "My task for Uncle Guizi is to outflank the Yan army's retreat from the city and prevent them from returning to the city. It is not just a roundabout attack."
Sun Chu took a breath of air: "You actually gave the order to cut off the enemy's rear? Fortunately, the Yan army's armored cavalry out of the city this time could only break through to the north with more than 500 cavalry. If they turned to the west city, the two thousand cavalry would be overwhelmed. Come here, with our troops still scattered in all directions, I'm afraid we will be wiped out by them."
A cold light flashed in Zhu Lingshi's eyes: "To deal with five hundred cavalry, there is a five hundred cavalry strategy. It is to attack with the first arriving chariots to block their ferocious incoming force. When the subsequent chariot brigade arrives, Naturally, we can eat them all, and your uncle's cavalry will cut off their escape route and prevent them from returning to the city."
"If the enemy's two thousand cavalry attack together, or even more, then the tactics will change. Your uncle's tactics will have to be temporarily inactive, and the cavalry in front of our army will not be allowed to take the initiative to attack the enemy, charge, and go first. The arriving tanks will stay where they are, install wooden baffles, adopt a defensive attitude, receive several attacks from the enemy, and then pretend to be overwhelmed and flee northward, luring the enemy into our dense river and forest. .”
Sun Chu suddenly realized: "What you mean is that if an enemy group attacks, we should still ambush the chariots and lure the enemy troops into the forest and then destroy them, right?"
Zhu Lingshi said sternly: "Yes, the task given to us by Brother Jinu is to destroy the enemy's cavalry leaving the city. This task has not changed. Blocking the enemy in the city is just a choice of trying to capture. Let's The enemy thought that we did not have the strength to eat them, but wanted to push them back into the city. The more this happened, the more likely it was to induce the enemy to attack with all their strength. Only when they send out all their troops can their tactical intentions be reflected. And we can only use their tactics and tactics to eliminate them."
Sun Chu sighed: "No wonder you said when you came here, you can't just look at the enemy in front of you, or even just look at the situation here in Beicheng. It turns out that you had already thought about it at that time, and the enemy army was going to the direction of West City. These two Qian Jiaqi’s judgment is indeed the same as yours!”
Zhu Lingshi shook his head: "To be honest, according to our pre-war intelligence, in the last battle of Linqu, the enemy's armored cavalry who fled back to Guanggu still had more than seven thousand, plus the guards' armor who stayed in Guanggu. The number of cavalry will not be less than 10,000, and the total number they came out this time was more than 2,000 cavalry, less than 3,000. Obviously this is not their main force. What I care about is not the two thousand heading towards the west city. Ride, but the remaining eight thousand!"
Sun Chu opened his eyes wide: "You mean, the main force of the enemy army has not been dispatched yet? Could it be that we have been besieging Guanggu for nearly a year, the city has been starved of food, and a large number of horses have been killed. They actually only have more than two thousand horses. Woolen cloth?"
Zhu Lingshi smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Sandan, you can't think like that. It's not that all the black robes are really out of food. It's just that the food is not distributed to the old, weak, women and children who have no fighting ability. The real people who can fight can The strong men who fight are all well-fed and strong. Even the enemy's war horses, you see, even their auxiliary horses are armored. Doesn't it look like there are no horses?"
Sun Chu curled his lips: "My judgment was wrong, I'm sorry... So the enemy's armored cavalry must be at least 10,000 or more. Most of the main force has not been dispatched yet?"
Gu Yi and Zhu Lingshi said sternly: "Yes, the troops leaving the city this time are just partial troops. They still want to test the movements of our army. Although I don't know why those two thousand cavalry turned towards the west city, but these five hundred cavalry are heading towards the west city." Those who assaulted the north should be their elites. Although they were small in number, they were very determined and fierce in fighting. I think they really wanted to advance to the north, and even Murong Chao's stand-in was among them. Although it was obvious that It’s a fake, but if we can kill it in one fell swoop, it will also severely demoralize the enemy.”
Sun Chu smiled and said: "That is to say, this group of enemy cavalry really wants to break through to the north. We must outflank and eliminate them, and then go to Xicheng to eat those two thousand cavalry, right?"
Zhu Lingshi nodded: "In Xicheng, I have divided three hundred chariots, led by Brother Erxi and others, to support. If these two thousand cavalry attack our siege troops, then we will attack from behind. Kill them and attack them from both sides with Brother Ah Shao's soldiers and horses, and you will definitely destroy them all. As for the remaining eight thousand cavalry..."
At this point, he frowned slightly: "That only depends on the situation of our battle. The camera moved. I didn't let the chariot troops behind me move at full speed just to have a back-up."
Sun Chu said seriously: "Yes, if the eight thousand armored cavalry suddenly charge out from the north gate, then we still need to fake defeat and lure the enemy's main cavalry to the dense forest to ambush and eliminate them. But if the enemy cavalry cannot come out, We will use our chariot troops to destroy the five hundred enemy cavalry in front of us."
Zhu Lingshi smiled and said: "Brother Sandan is absolutely right. This is what I think."
Sun Chu sighed: "It's a pity that the soldiers at the front, like Hu Laoliu, Zhang Zhi and others, don't know what you think, and they are still fighting bloody battles. I always feel that I am sorry for them."
Zhu Lingshi gritted his teeth: "This is also a helpless move. It is impossible for me to tell the soldiers at the front about the battle plan. Every decision I make may require hundreds or thousands of people to sacrifice. If we lose, Otherwise, more people would die, but thanks to these good brothers, even if they carried out our military orders, they fought exactly as they were, so that the enemy could not judge our intentions."
Sun Chu sighed: "Almost all the chariots in the front were lost, and more than half of Hu Laoliu's three hundred cavalry were lost, just for this plan to lure the enemy. If the enemy does not have a large group of cavalry in the future, then we will not Make money."
Zhu Lingshi said in a deep voice: "Brother Sandan, we don't know the enemy's movements and plans, and we can only use these tactics to test. If the enemy completely wipes out these 500 cavalry and still doesn't dispatch the 8,000 cavalry, Then we can rule out that there is the main enemy force at the north gate, and our chariot fleet does not need to stop there and wait. We need to quickly monitor this place with one unit, and the main force rushes to other battlefields, because these eight thousand cavalry, no matter where they are used, It is a terrifying assault force from any direction. If it can directly attack our siege troops, then the entire siege battle will be at risk of failure. We cannot bear this risk!"
