Chapter 904 The confidence of the peacock people(1/2)
Haolat City Lord's Mansion:
"Reporting to General Xu, the spies we sent lurked into the Peacock Barracks and had an accident. They accidentally alerted the Peacock Patrol and were surrounded and suppressed by the Peacock Soldiers. More than ten spies basically died tragically in the Peacock Empire Army Barracks."
Send orders to soldiers.
Xu Shu has a big head!
If the problem of the Mauryan Empire's war elephants is not solved, it will not be able to cause chaos to the Mauryan Empire's army, nor will it be able to pose a threat to the Mauryan Empire's army.
The entire combat plan must be adjusted and a new plan must be made.
"Call Ma Chao, Pang De, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals to formulate a new battle plan and scrap the previous plan."
Xu Shu said.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
Xu Shu stared at the map and thought about it.
Ma Chao, Pang De, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong walked into the big tent, greeted Xu Shu, and each found a seat to sit down.
"Generals, something went wrong with the exploration horses we sent. Several of them died, which attracted the attention of the Peacock people.
If we want to send detective horses to lurk in again, the risk is extremely high, so we have to give up the battle plan we made."
Xu Shu said.
"We must mobilize the war elephants of the Peacock Empire and annihilate them in the wild. We must not allow the war elephants to attack the city. If there is an accident during the decisive battle with the Peacock Army,"
Xu Shu said.
"General Xu, since it is very risky to lurk in, let's change our thinking. Didn't the Lord say that war elephants are afraid of fire?
We brought kerosene and when we saw the war elephants coming up to kill us, we asked the soldiers to light the kerosene to prevent the elephants from charging towards the army.
Our cavalry followed the war elephants, attacked the Peacock Empire army, and dispersed the Peacock army in one fell swoop."
Ma Chao said.
"Meng Qi, don't forget, there are 50,000 cavalry in the Mauryan Empire's army. If we fight head-on,
The cavalry division can indeed fight, but the problem is that with the addition of war elephants and 200,000 infantry fighting together, the cavalry division has little chance of winning.
Even if we win, we will be defeated and injured. We definitely cannot fight head-on, we must use some means of sneak attacks to catch the Peacocks off guard and take them by surprise."
Cao Rendao.
Ma Chao shrugged his arms and stretched out his two hands in a helpless move.
"There is no chance of a sneak attack. Since there is something wrong with our lurking spy, it will definitely alert the Peacock people."
Pound said.
Xu Shu nodded.
"General Meng Qi, Zixiao is right. After all, the Peacock Empire's army has a size of 250,000.
Among them, there are fifty thousand cavalry, plus a hundred extremely powerful war elephants. In a decisive battle in the wild, our Xiakou Army,
The odds of winning are slim. We must find an implementable method, otherwise, the situation will be very bad."
Xu Shu said.
"General Xu, I feel that since frontal hard steel is not available, we can choose a place for decisive battle.
No matter how many troops the Peacock people have, they will not be able to use it. In a specific area, the Peacock people should be taught a lesson."
Pound said.
Pound's words opened a window for several big bosses to choose the place for the decisive battle. It was completely feasible, without being influenced by others, and let the Peacock people follow suit.
"Ling Ming is right! Let's find a place for the decisive battle so that no matter how many troops the Peacocks have, they won't be able to use it."
Cao Rendao.
Xu Shu stared at the map and punched a point on the map hard, smashing the map to pieces.
"Let's set up a battle formation here and let the peacocks attack. This is the place where the peacock army must pass to attack Haolat City.
The Peacock Army has more than 300,000 people, so supply will definitely be a problem and it cannot be delayed indefinitely."
Xu Shu said.
good!
"We will set up an ambush here to severely damage the Peacock Army."
Ma Chao said.
"Today our army set off overnight and arrived at Luofengkou at night. The soldiers quickly deployed defensive fortifications.
Dig more horse pits and sprinkle triangular nails on the roads to prevent the Peacock Army from walking fast. As long as the Peacock Army is not fast, it will definitely be able to annihilate the Peacock Empire's 300,000-strong army at the windfall."
Xu Shu said.
"General, give the order!"
Several generals cupped their fists.
…
Boom!
When the Xiakou Army left the city, one cavalry division and two infantry divisions quickly rushed towards the Luofengkou area.
At ten minutes past midnight, the Xiakou Army arrived at its destination. The soldiers did not rest and quickly began to work on civil engineering and build fortifications one by one.
"The pit is too big. It's not necessary. It just needs to be big enough for the horse's paw to go in. However, the depth of the pit can be a little deeper."
One of the engineers accompanying the army said.
The soldiers of the Xiakou Army took action and were busy repairing fortifications, digging holes, and nailing down red deer. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
Luofengkou is only twenty miles away from Haolat City. For the Peacock Empire army with cavalry, it only takes a moment.
…
The Mauryan Empire’s Central Military Account:
"Report to General Ajamila that the Lysians have left the city with the 35,000 soldiers and horses in the city.
It is expected that we will have a decisive battle with our great Mauryan Empire army in the wild, and the Lysians are currently building fortifications thirty miles away."
Send orders to soldiers.
oh!
The Lysians are out of town!
It’s unexpected!
Only 30,000 soldiers and horses dared to go out of the city to fight against the Peacock Army. I really don’t know where the courage came from.
"Where is the place chosen by the Lysians for the decisive battle?"
General Ajamila said.
"General, the Lysians have placed the decisive battle at the mouth of the wind, trying to use the narrow passage to stop our great Peacock Army."
Send orders to soldiers.
Falling outlet?
General Ajamila found the location of the windfall on the map.
"What's so special about that place at Luofengkou?"
General Ajamila said.
"General, the place where the wind falls is a passage. The passage is relatively narrow, about a thousand meters wide.
It is the only way to enter Haolat City. It is estimated that the Lysians chose the windfall to limit our troops in the decisive battle, fearing that our 300,000-strong peacock army would form a force and surround them in one fell swoop."
Send orders to soldiers.
Hahaha!
General Ajamila laughed loudly.
"Stupid Lysians, if we shrink and resist in Haolat City, we still have no good solution.
If you want to capture the city, you have to spend some effort and effort. If you go out to fight in the city, isn't that looking for death?"
General Ajamila said loudly.
"In a decisive battle in the wild, our Peacock Army not only has hundreds of war elephants, but also 50,000 cavalry.
With two hundred thousand infantry, what can the Lysians do to fight our great Peacock Army? In terms of military strength, our Peacock Army crushes the Lysians.
I have some impressions of the place where the wind falls. It seems that the passage is not narrow and is more than a thousand meters wide. How can it block our great Peacock Army?"
General Ajamila said.
