Outside Tonghe City, the Chu army camped and the Chinese army held a large tent. Today's military meeting has ended, and the generals have retired to their respective duties, but Qu Dazhong is still sitting behind the commander and pondering - where is Lu Wu.
As a general who has experienced hundreds of battles, Qu Dazhong certainly knows how powerful a fighting general is. When the two armies are evenly matched and in a stalemate, if a fighting general leads his elite troops to fight out, it will be a disaster.
Moreover, during the battle, the combined front of the two armies stretched for ten miles. No matter how clever General Ren Tongjun was, he would not be able to defend the entire front in a watertight and comprehensive manner.
The number of fighting generals plus the elite soldiers under their command is often no more than a thousand. Such small troops are mobilized behind the military formation. As long as the fighting general's flag is not displayed, it is difficult to detect even if they are condescending.
Waiting for the fighting generals to suddenly burst out from behind the military formation, looking for weaknesses and quickly defeating one corner of the line, often leading to the complete collapse of the entire front - it is simply impossible for the ten-mile front to withstand the impact of fighting generals anywhere. thing.
So he has been trying to get Lu Wu out for the past few days. He first seized the advantage and forced Lu Wu to come out, but Lu Wu did not appear, and the opponent was very cautious in using his troops. It was definitely not Lu Wu's handiwork. Therefore, Qu Dazhong knew that Lu Wu was probably not in the opposing army, but was hiding somewhere to gain momentum. Ready to go.
Then he pretended that his army was exhausted and had a slight disadvantage, but Lu Wu still didn't show up; even he deliberately exposed his flaws and stood in front of the formation and pointed fingers, but Lu Wu still didn't rush out.
"Grandmaster Gongsun, in your opinion, where is Lu Wu?" Qu Dazhong asked without looking back.
"How do I know?" The voice of Gongsun Boyang, the martial arts master of Chu State, came from behind the screen. Gongsun Boyang was also a little depressed.
During this period, in order to ambush Lu Wu, he first hid in the tent of Ji Chan, the vanguard general of the Chu Kingdom, and then in the camp of Qu Dazhong. Although both of them were very polite to him, they were somewhat aggrieved.
"You and Lu Wu are both at the pinnacle of martial arts. What if you don't look at it from the perspective of a military strategist, but just from the perspective of a strong martial artist?" Qu Dazhong refused to let him go.
Qu Dazhong has repeatedly reviewed the situation these days. Based on his research on Lu Wu's past battles, Lu Wu is not a patient person at all, and he should have been unable to hold back and jump out long ago.
But now after several days of fighting, there is no news from Lu Wu, and Qu Dazhong is uneasy in his heart - the less news there is, the more likely it is that something big will happen.
"In my opinion? How do I know how a reckless man whose brain is all about muscles will do things? If I take action, it will only be an assassination at most. What else can I do?" Gongsun Boyang said angrily.
Qu Dazhong was speechless. Assassination is something that martial arts masters can do, but fighting generals rarely do. Fighting generals are clumsy, and they usually kill with frontal attacks, and rarely use the trick of flying over walls and walls.
Of course, this clumsiness is compared to that of a martial arts master. For ordinary masters, the fighting general's movement is still very agile.
Now that the grain roads in the rear are intact, and there is no news about Lu Wu in Yinping City where grain and grass are transported, where is Lu Wu?
What is he going to do? ——————————————Tonghe City, the City Lord’s Mansion. Lin Ji was also convening the generals to discuss matters.
In the past few days, the two armies met three times, with each other gaining and losing, but there was no decisive victory or defeat. Generally speaking, Lu Wu's army was at a slight disadvantage when it first gained a foothold, but later it took a slight advantage.
But this does not mean that the Luwu Army's combat power is superior to that of the other side, but that their camp is centered around Tonghe City, and with Tonghe City as a support, they can naturally devote more energy to fighting without worries. Array.
The other side needs to take into account the defensive camp and leave a large number of elites ready to attack, ready to deal with Lu Wu who comes out of nowhere.
It was only under the circumstances that the Lu Wu Army had a slight advantage.
"Do you have any ideas to defeat the enemy?" Lin Ji asked. Although they had a slight advantage, the opponent's battalion was still watertight. It was still difficult to turn this advantage into a victory - especially since there was no news about Lu Wu as soon as he left, and he was under great pressure.
"The last general is willing to lead an army and attack the border camp from the east side of the river at night." A captain jumped out and recommended himself.
"The last general is willing to attack the Western Camp!" Another captain also stood up. Although the Tonghe River is a small river more than ten meters wide, it still divides the two companies and camps into two halves. However, now that the Chu army has cut off the river channel, it is quite convenient for both sides to pass, so it is better than nothing.
The east part of Hedong is regarded as the corner of the Chu army's camp, and the defense may be weaker. Hexi is where the main force of the Chu army is stationed. It is difficult to attack the camp, but it is still possible to harass it.
Lin Ji nodded in approval - these captains promoted by Lu Wu, regardless of their abilities, were all top-notch and brave enough to fight.
"The general feels that the other party may use a strategy of storing water to attack the city." Another captain said. Although Tonghe is a small river, if it is dammed high, it can also store a lot of water. Although the river is narrow and the water volume is insufficient, it should not be able to flood a large city like Tonghe, but it must be guarded against the opponent taking the opportunity to attack the city.
"It makes sense. But I have other plans for this matter." Lin Ji waved his hand and said.
"That's because the general is overly worried." The captain bowed and returned to the queue.
"Since there is no good strategy for the time being, all the generals should return to their respective positions and strictly guard their positions. The first step is to be invincible." Lin Ji looked around and saw that the generals had no more suggestions, so he ordered: "The two captains of Zhou Chi and Wei Ming will stay here." Exit." These two were the captains who proposed the plan of harassment.
Although harassment is mostly difficult to achieve success, it is taboo to wait for the opponent to take action when large armies are facing each other, and harassment is also a common method to disrupt the opponent's layout.
The other captains withdrew one by one, and Lin Ji discussed carefully with the military advisor and the two captains around him how to attack, so they didn't mention it for now.
Chu State, Chengdu. It has been more than a month since Qu Dazhong led his army on the expedition, but the expected victory has not come. Instead, the two countries of Yan and Qi are ready to make a move, which inevitably puts the King of Chu's army in a bit of trouble.
Even though the Chu State was a large country in the Central Plains, with millions of armored men, every soldier was not in vain. At this time, more than 300,000 people were taken away. Not to mention that the border was somewhat stretched, and even in the local area, there were people who were ready to take action. .
However, after all, King Xianglu of Chu was not the first day he became king. He knew that haste makes waste, so he did not urge Qu Dazhong to fight quickly. Instead, he found a way to mobilize a small number of forbidden troops, mixed with a large number of local troops and horses, and headed to the border. support.
There are junior officers in the Forbidden Army who train while marching. Even if these county soldiers and horses cannot fight, they can at least watch.
As for the local epidemic of ringworm, we have to wait until the south is pacified and General Qu Shang takes action before we can settle the accounts.
But such deployment of local people still left troubles in the future. For example, the veteran defenders who were supposed to know Fang Teng's soldiers were now on their way to the North. The recruits could only check Fang Teng's military orders, but they couldn't possibly recognize who the soldiers around Fang Teng were.
So after the group passed the city gate without any risk, Fang Teng smiled bitterly and said:
"General, we have entered Chengdu now. I hope that the general will keep his promise and leave me to wait for a way out."
