Chapter Thirty-Nine(1/2)
By the way, Li Mu is really scheming.
This move not only uses Sun Tzu's "Transfer Tigers Out of the Mountains" strategy, but also uses the commonly used "information warfare", "psychological warfare", "special warfare" and "special warfare" in modern warfare, plus a series of tricks to get into the trap.
Needless to say, the Great Wall, which was originally short of troops, was transferred out of seven thousand main forces.
Information warfare is to use a fake spy to send half-true and half-false information.
Psychological warfare is to capture Yang Ting's eagerness to save her father, and then jump down when she sees a pit.
Special operations are disguised as sneak attacks behind enemy lines in the Qin army... Special operations have actually existed since ancient times, but are only defined in modern times.
As for the successive tasks.
Chen Bing believed that it was true that Li Mu personally led more than a thousand cavalry to take down Matou Mountain.
But Matou Mountain is not Li Mu’s real purpose, it is just bait.
Even Li Mu himself was a bait, luring Yang Ting, a newborn calf who was ignorant of the sky and earth, out of the city.
I can only win the battle before Li Mu's troops gathered in place...
So what Li Mu is so powerful is not military tactics or kung fu.
It is the scheming that makes the enemy's mind clear and then sets a trap with it.
But Li Mu finally missed a little bit: he didn't count Shen Bing.
Chen Bing didn't realize that this was a plan at the beginning.
But Zhao Jun accidentally discovered the disguise and opened a breakthrough.
However, despite this, there is no big difference.
Because Li Mu had already set up a spy along the way, so the big noise just now naturally could not escape the spy's eyes.
So there was a sound arrow...
Li Mu, who was ambushed in the dense forest, was in an accident when he saw the arrow.
This means that your plan has been discovered by the enemy.
Li Mu frowned.
It is not difficult to guess that there must be something wrong with the team disguised as wounded soldiers.
But Li Mu thought about it several times but didn't know what was wrong.
This time, Li Mu sent a sneak attack on the Great Wall, or it could be said that he was an internal force, and there was a reason why the troops were only five hundred rather than one thousand or even more.
Li Mu knew that the Qin army was very strict in inspections.
Therefore, after every victory of Li Mu, he ordered his subordinates to carefully collect the "test" brought by Qin soldiers on his body.
Then, based on the appearance and height described in "test", go to the army to choose.
Therefore, this group of Zhao Jun, who had only 500 people, could withstand the inspection, and even part of the wound was real...
Zhao's army would also carry injuries during combat, and he could also cause some skin trauma.
All of these have reached the point where they can be fake and real.
However, even this still went wrong, and even the Great Wall did not arrive...
This made Li Mu a little unimaginable.
He wouldn't have thought that the problem was the cavalry.
Li Mu crossed mountains and ridges and bypassed Yang Duanhe's troops and attacked directly behind him, so most of the people he brought were cavalry.
When choosing a camouflage soldier, you must also choose from the cavalry.
However, none of this matters.
Since the enemy has seen it through, there is only a strong attack.
Thinking of Li Mu waving his hand forward, many soldiers suddenly stood up from the seemingly empty dense forest behind him.
Then a group of cavalry rushed out of the dense forest and divided into two groups on the left and right, covering them in an orderly manner in the direction of the sound arrows.
The Qin army had raised a round formation flag amid the drums, and the messenger ordered the soldiers to ride their horses and shouted:
"Circular array, circular array!"
Formation was indispensable in ancient times when cold weapons were fighting.
The reason is that the cold weapons battlefield forces are generally very large, and they can be tens of thousands or even tens of thousands at any time.
The contradiction with this is that the communication equipment is extremely backward and cannot be smoothly connected to the head and tail.
In this case, it is obviously very difficult to let so many people know and stand in their own position for a short time.
So there was a formation.
The soldiers listen to the sound of drums, orders, flags, and then proceed in an orderly manner according to the usual drills.
This is the difference between an elite army and a mob.
In critical moments, the elite troops can set up their formations as quickly as possible to prepare for combat.
The mobs often have no formation and run around like headless flies when they are in war.
Of course, the Qin army was not a mob. They quickly set up formations amid the sound of drums and were ready to go.
Yang Ting is worthy of being a general, so it is just right to use the circular array at this time.
Because it is not difficult to imagine that most of the army led by Li Mu must be cavalry.
At the same time, the surrounding terrain is flat and easy for cavalry to penetrate.
Therefore, any formation can easily allow the cavalry to find flaws and take advantage of the situation.
There is only a circular formation, which sets a circle of carriages and baggages on the periphery to prevent cavalry from attacking.
Next are infantry with strong defense, and then there are crossbowmen.
The catapults and cavalry that needed protection were placed in the middle.
In this way, it is difficult for the enemy cavalry to find flaws when attacking this formation from any direction.
It will not only be blocked by carriages, baggage and infantry, but also be suppressed by crossbows and catapults.
If necessary, the circular formation will open an opening, and the cavalry located in the formation will break out along the opening.
However, Shen Bing was not so optimistic.
If Li Mu was so stupid that he used cavalry to rush into the infantry formation, he would have been destroyed by Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe several times.
Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe is still inferior to Yang Ting?
On the other hand, Li Mu’s goal is the Great Wall!
Great Wall! Great Wall... Great Wall!
Although Shen Bing has repeatedly explained it, Yang Ting still didn't understand the key point.
There were only three thousand people in the Great Wall, and Li Mu's army could bypass these seven thousand people and directly attack the Great Wall.
By then, these 7,000 people will be cut off from contact and become rootless duckweed.
So, I'm still shaped like a hair?
Escape!
If you don't run away, wait for death?
However, Shen Bing is just a Cao soldier, and Yang Ting is always the one who commands the army.
Therefore, Shen Bing could only arrange the catapult in the middle layer with the cannon army as ordered.
There were various fire bombs piled up in the middle to prepare for launch.
This is the characteristic of the circular array.
Just like a crossbowman, in order for the catapult to cope with the attacks in all directions of the enemy cavalry, it must be arranged in a circle.
Shen Bing was unwilling to give in. He leaned his head and looked at the surrounding terrain, shouting at Xun who had been separated by more than ten steps:
"Master, we should place the catapult on two wings."
Xun's dissatisfied response:
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"How can the formation set by the lieutenant be changed just by saying it?"
"Are you afraid you're not thinking about your life long?"
What Xun said makes sense. This formation is a military order. Changing the formation without authorization is tantamount to disobeying the military order.
And it was a death sentence for disobeying military orders during wartime.
But……
Shen Bing answered helplessly:
To be continued...
