Chapter 1987: Soldiers are the most powerful and powerful (Part 2)
Chapter 1985: Soldiers are the most powerful (Part 2)
Li Shimin was passively beaten, allowing 50,000 elite infantry to shoot for the Qin army, and also buying time for the arrival of 20,000 cavalry. Naturally, it was because this level of sacrifice was completely worth it.
If the 20,000 cavalry in the rear arrives, the Tang army will have 30,000 cavalry, plus 80,000 elite infantrymen.
80,000 to 50,000, the chance of winning is very high.
You can only defeat 40,000 Qin army iron and 10,000 elite soldiers. Not to mention that half of the 50,000 infantry were shot to death, it was worth it even if they were all killed.
In Li Shimin''s view, these 50,000 infantry could not escape, and creating an opportunity to severely damage the Qin army''s cavalry may be their final use value.
Zhang Liao, who figured everything, was sweating profusely.
Under the step-by-step guidance of Li Shimin, he was originally preparing to fight quickly, but he went to a conservative and slow-moving line, but he himself did not realize this at all.
"Damn it, I''m so plotted to death."
Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and said, this round of strategic confrontation was completely abused by Li Shimin. If it weren''t for Jia Xu''s tips, he would have been kept in the dark.
Now Zhang Liao finally understood the meaning of "soldiers are the most important and powerful."
If the Tang army cannot be defeated in a short period of time, 20,000 Tang army cavalry will arrive and another 10,000 Tang cavalry will meet.
By then, 30,000 Tang cavalry generals and 50,000 Tang army infantry will definitely attack the Qin army forward and backward.
Danger! Danger! Danger!
"Military advisor, military advisor, since you have already realized this, you must have arranged the cracking method."
A strange look flashed in Zhang Liaohu''s eyes and said to himself, "Since that''s the case, Wen Yuan just obeys the order."
Zhang Liao didn''t know Jia Xu''s specific arrangements, but he knew that Jia Xu would not see the defeat of the army. With the expectation of Li Shimin''s reaction, he would definitely not let Zhao She and Li Keyong''s cavalry come over.
"Transfer orders to General Mu Guiying to prepare for the decisive battle." Zhang Liao ordered in a deep voice.
"No."
Zhang Liao did not want to use the Detachment of Women, but now he has to do so. After all, the Longmen Formation with a scale of 50,000 people is easy to fight. When he can only use 30,000 cavalry, Mu Guiying''s 10,000 elite troops can play a big role.
Inside the dragon gate formation, two carrier pigeons fell on Li Kui''s shoulders. After picking up the letter, Li Kui''s face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"What''s wrong?" Li Shimin asked.
"General Zhao She and General Li Keyong may not be able to arrive on the battlefield on time."
"how so?"
Li Shimin was shocked.
He paid such a great price and did not hesitate to let 50,000 infantry be targeted by the Qin army in order to delay the time for these 20,000 cavalrymen.
Now that so many people have died, you said you can''t be in place on time. Isn''t this a cheating father?
"The defenders in Yewang City and Yiyang City took advantage of the night to leave the city and on the road to Henan Yin in advance, they not only dug a large number of traps, but also set up many traps.
These traps and traps are real and real, and they are completely different.
As the army walked, they either fell into a horse pit or were stabbed to death by bamboo thorns, or died in a trap, which made the entire army panic and could not march at full speed. ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly felt a sudden heart.
The defenders in Yewang City and Yiyang City can leave the city while they can set up traps and dig traps in advance. Obviously, some people have expected that he would mobilize these 20,000 cavalry.
Who has such a skill to predict his reaction in advance?
An old man with a warm smile on his face but a cold face appeared in Li Shimin''s mind.
"Jia Xu, it must be him." Li Shimin gritted his teeth. Who is Li Shimin hates the most? He is neither his old enemy Qin Hao nor his enemy who killed his father, Arthur, but Jia Xu.
Although Qin Hao is a mortal enemy, he is both an enemy and a friend.
Although Arthur killed Li Yuan, fighting on the battlefield was either life or death, which was helpless.
Only Jia Xu has vicious and vicious methods, which is simply unpredictable. He is the existence that Li Shimin hates and dislikes the most.
Jia Xu blamed Li Shimin for massacre of all officials, and made Li Shimin''s reputation that he worked hard to maintain was completely ruined, and he has not completely recovered.
Therefore, Li Shimin not only disgusted with Jia Xu, but also felt a little awe in his heart.
Now Jia Xu has made a move to him here, and his 20,000 cavalry cannot be in place with his first move. The chance of victory that finally appeared became confusing again.
[Jia Xu''s skill "Poison Warrior" effect 2. When calculating others, reduce the opponent''s intelligence by 1 to 4 points.
Reduce Li Shimin''s intelligence by 3 points, and Li Shimin''s intelligence has dropped to 97 now. 】
"How did Jia Xu know that I would transfer the cavalry from the front line? Could this old thief really have no choice but to know the future?" Li Shimin looked unpredictable and puzzled.
Jia Xu naturally did not have the ability to predict the future. He actually didn''t know how Li Shimin used to delay time, nor did he know that Li Shimin would set up a dragon gate formation, but he knew that the only possibility of Li Shimin''s turnaround was the 20,000 cavalry.
If Li Shimin is forced to get angry, Jia Xu believes that Li Shimin''s ability will definitely have a reform that can delay time and persist until 20,000 cavalry arrives. He only needs to solve the problem at the source and see the 20,000 Tang cavalry to death.
When Jia Xu received the news that Hebei reinforcements went south, he expected this scene to happen, so he ordered the Ye Wang and Gongsun Yan and Tan Daoji of Yiyang to leave the city early and dig traps and horse pits on the necessary roads to delay the marching speed of the Tang cavalry.
Relying on this simple method, Jia Xu has already given the front-line army most of the day to fight. If Zhang Liao cannot defeat the 50,000 Tang troops in the Longmen Formation during this period, he can only blame himself for being incompetent.
"Your Highness, just some horse pits and traps can never stop 20,000 cavalrymen."
A trace of tricky expression flashed in Sima Yi''s eyes and he said in a deep voice: "Twenty thousand iron cavalry may be late, but they will never be absent."
"Yes, Zhang Liao used the slow attack method, and our army is now full of the Ai Army, and it is protected by the Longmen Formation. It is not difficult to persevere until the reinforcements arrive..."
Before Li Shimin finished speaking, he heard the Qin army’s central army five miles away, and the sound of drums and shouts of killing sounds. It was obvious that the Qin army’s central army had moved.
"Is Zhang Liao going to launch a decisive battle?"
Li Shimin''s eyes were full of disbelief and asked in confusion: "Aren''t he afraid of killing the death? Or is there a way to break the dragon gate formation?"
"Your Highness, things have come to this point, and it''s too late to say this. The most urgent thing is to defend the enemy. You must never let Zhang Liao break the Dragon Gate Formation."
"Um."
On the other side, Zhang Liao commanded 16,000 central troops and launched a charge towards the Longmen formation.
At the same time, Mu Guiying also asked Arthur and Qin Ji to command the Detachment of Women and the Flying Tiger Army respectively, and only launched an offensive in Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao used 10,000 elite troops from Luoyang, but did not use 10,000 iron cavalry of Xiao Yan.
Although the 20,000 cavalry of the wild king Yiyang did not come, the hidden Xuanjia Army and Feixiong Army could stab the knife in the back at any time, and enough troops must be left behind.
Although Xiao Yan''s ten thousand iron cavalry could not stop 30,000 Tang army cavalry, it was still possible to stop tens of thousands of elite cavalry.
