It was about to dawn, so Guan Yu came to tell him that it would be dawn in another hour.

Li Mengxi raised his head to look at the sky. In his opinion, the night sky was still dark and he didn't know the time. The matter of telling time always made Li Mengxi depressed. After so long, he still couldn't master the ability to look up at the sky to determine the time.

, I have thought more than once, how nice it would be to have a clock.

After nearly a night of work, the defense line was almost set up, but everything was pitch black, making it impossible to check the overall results.

It would be daybreak soon. At this last moment, Li Mengxi, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and other generals of the Julu Army discussed the battle strategy at dawn.

The current situation is that there are certain deficiencies in the intelligence. It is not known how many enemy troops there are in Yuyang City, nor how much good food and grass the enemy troops have hoarded in the city. It is also unknown how deep the high trenches in Yuyang City are. If this is

If you go to attack the city without knowing the key points, the risk is extremely high. Fortunately, siege is not in the Julu Army's battle plan. What the Julu Army wants is to trap the enemy in the city and defeat the enemy without a fight. The city knows how to defeat the city.

I don't know it's not that important anymore.

The vehicle formation set up at night is probably enough. Speaking of which, the vehicle formation encirclement tactic has only been used twice so far, once when besieging Huangfu Song, and once now. Neither of these two times was actually used in actual combat, so it is impossible to do so.

Actual verification of the blocking effect of the car array.

According to previous experience, anyway, after the rebel army surrounded the official and military camp with car formations, Huangfu Song, a veteran general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was so frightened that he did not dare to act rashly. Thinking of this, if the Yuyang City guard general also knows the soldiers,

When people see the huge car formation, they will be too frightened to move rashly.

But, what if? What if the enemy defender is a fool? What if the enemy defender cannot see the power of the Julu military vehicle formation and rushes out in a daze to break out of the encirclement?

Although, from a tactical point of view, if the enemy abandons the city and refuses to defend it, and insists on leaving the city and rushing into the vehicle formation, this is an excellent opportunity to eliminate the enemy's effective strength. However, as far as the Julu Army is concerned, although this fighter is good, it is not the best.

good.

The vehicle formation has been hastily formed overnight, and the overall situation is still relatively rough. The defense has not yet been reinforced, and the trench system has not yet been laid out. This is the time when the vehicle formation is at its weakest. If the enemy takes advantage of this moment to rush out, the Julu Army will be indispensable.

Casualties, if we board for a while longer, we don’t have to wait too long, even if it only takes two or three days, two or three days is enough to dig a small trench in front of the vehicle formation. With the trench, even if the trench

It is not very wide, and can immediately increase the defensive power of the vehicle formation several times.

The Julu Army's vehicle formation has been established, and as time goes by, the advantage will increase at an incredible speed. In such a situation, why not delay it if you can, and avoid fighting if you can avoid it.

Li Mengxi figured it out. He was not afraid that the enemy would know his troops, but that he was afraid that the enemy would be stupid. If the enemy general was a fool, he would really dare to rush out without hesitation and cause a lot of trouble to the Julu Army. At this moment, Li Mengxi sighed with emotion.

, When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Courage is an important factor in war.

The strategic goal for the future is clear. The first solution is to find a way to prevent the enemy from leaving the city to fight. This involves the method of deterring the enemy.

The Julu Army's other tactics may not be complete or systematic, but when it comes to methods of deterring the enemy, the Julu Army has a complete system for deterring the enemy.

Everyone started discussing how to frighten the enemy. Guan Yu looked at everyone, stroked his beard and said, "When tomorrow dawns, the enemy troops in the city will be shocked when they see our chariot formation."

What do you think the enemy should do when they are in panic?"

Li Mengxi thought for a moment, frowned and said, "When faced with a sudden shock, the cowardly will want to hide and flee, the courageous will confront each other, and the courageous will be frightened first and then brave. When the courage is reversed, they will fight to the death in anger. Most likely

These three."

After listening to what Li Mengxi said, Guan Yu nodded slightly.

Li Mengxi then thought to himself and said, "If the enemy is timid and wants to hide, run away, or confront each other, it will all play into my hands. But if the enemy is timid, he will counterattack in a desperate situation, which is not good for me."

"...(So)," Li Mengxi murmured in his heart. He stared at the jumping bonfire in front of him, his eyes moving slightly, and his eyes were thoughtful, "In fact, we only need to be prepared for the situation where the enemy is arrogant, but where is the plan?"

He raised his eyes and looked at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu glanced around, pondered for a moment, and said to everyone, "This is my plan.

Some people think that if our army only defends the chariot formation at dawn, the enemy will either be too timid and dare not leave the city at dawn, or they will be too timid and rush out with all their troops to kill them.

two three;

And if, without waiting for the enemy to come out, our army first leads the troops and horses to threaten the city. At this time, our army takes the initiative to attack, and the enemy's response is successful. The enemy either lacks courage and dares not come out to confront, and only dares to retreat in the city, or, facing

Our army is forcing an attack, and the enemy's troops come out to confront and defend. At this time, the possibility of the enemy's troops rushing out changes to the possibility of confrontation and defense, and the vehicle formation becomes stable."

I don’t know if others understood, but Li Mengxi completely understood what Guan Yu meant. Guan Yu intended to use offense instead of defense. To put it simply, if the Julu Army only defends, then the initiative lies with the enemy. The enemy can

You can choose to leave the city for an assault, or you can choose to huddle up and defend. However, if the Julu Army takes the initiative to attack, the initiative lies with the Julu Army.

The soldiers and horses of the Julu Army have already threatened the city. It is up to the enemy to decide whether to go out of the city to confront and defend, or to retreat.

The enemy changed from active to passive. The enemy's active force was to attack with all their troops, while the passive force was to go out of the city to confront and defend against the city. The enemy's passive defense did not pose any threat to the Julu Army's vehicle array.

, the purpose is achieved.

This is a strategy that turns passiveness into activeness, which is quite clever.

The general direction was solved by Guan Yu's ingenious plan, and all that was left was the details. Everyone worked together to discuss ways to deter the enemy.

The way to frighten the enemy is to control the five senses.

Therefore, starting from the five senses, hearing, footsteps, war drums, shouts of death, the sound of weapons clashing, and the sound of arrows flying are all methods that can be used to deter the enemy.

In terms of hearing and the sound of footsteps, Li Mengxi decided that when he was at the enemy's gate tomorrow, he would order all the sergeants and soldiers to stand on their feet together and use whatever force they needed to frighten the enemy.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are also war drums. There are no war drums in the army, so there is no need.

The cry to kill is easy to handle. Just like the sound of footsteps, it has been explained in advance. With an order, the soldiers suddenly burst out shouting to kill. Such a sudden attack can frighten the enemy into chaos.

The sound of weapons clashing, a commonly used technique for swords and shields, is to slap the sword against the shield and make a snapping sound. It can be used tomorrow.

If the sound of an arrow missing is used to deter the enemy, if the ultimate pursuit of deterring the enemy is achieved, the sound of the sound is much stronger than the ordinary arrow missing. This has been fully verified in actual combat. When the Yellow Turbans were still being conquered, the Yellow Turbans were hunted down.

When the troops are in a rout, the dense rain of arrows cannot stop the Yellow Turbans from escaping, but shooting at the feet of the rout soldiers with the sounding drops can frighten the rout soldiers to the spot.

Li Mengxi silently made a note that tomorrow, he would mobilize all the soldiers in the army and shoot them at the enemy.

One of the five categories of methods for deterring the enemy, the method of deterring the enemy with sound, is as simple as this.

Furthermore, with vision, on the battlefield, what the eyes can see include formations, flags, weapons in the formation, war horses, etc., and even the traces of arrows missing and streaking through the air, which can all be used for visual deterrence.

As for the deterrence formation, the best choice is the square formation, because the square formation is the neatest and most oppressive.

As for flags, if there are many flags, the momentum will be strong, so you can bring all the flags in the army to strengthen the momentum.

Third, for armor weapons, you can put the shield soldiers in front and the spearmen at the back. If you can use all the spearmen, use all the spearmen. Because the spears stand up like a forest, the momentum is the strongest.

The Julu Army has a complete set of concentrated fire tactics. In order to focus fire, each unit in the army has a shooter who is responsible for guiding the attack, and a considerable number of Akabane Mingdi are equipped for this tactic. In concentrated shooting

In tactics, the archer must guide the attack, and other soldiers need to listen to the direction of the arrow, see the location of the arrow, and follow the direction to shoot. Therefore, the guided arrow must be as eye-catching as possible. To achieve this purpose, it is necessary to

On the chaotic battlefield, the soldiers could see where the arrow had landed at a glance. The shafts of the Mingdi arrows were painted in conspicuous red, and even the arrow feathers were painted red. In this way, the specially made red Mingdi of the Julu Army reached the ultimate level of conspicuity.

Used in deterrence tactics this time, the red feather arrows with sharp whistling and clear trajectory should be able to play an excellent deterrent effect.

Regarding visual deterrence, the results of the discussion are generally the same.

After the two categories of hearing and vision, and then the sense of smell.

The sense of smell is too partial to use in deterrence tactics. To date, the Julu Army has only a few olfactory deterrent tactics. The first one is to pour blood into the enemy's water diversion, and the enemy soldiers will smell the blood when drinking water.

, once you start to be suspicious, rumors of unknown or ominous things will start, and the enemy's heart may be greatly shaken; the second method is to still use blood. If you know the path that the enemy must pass, pour a lot of money on the path that the enemy must pass.

The blood of humans and animals, in this way, wait for the enemy army to pass by, and the blood will hit your nose. If the enemy is a newly formed army, and the enemy soldiers have not seen blood yet, with this method, more than half of the enemy soldiers will be uneasy after seeing blood; the third method,

People are not easily afraid of what they smell, but animals are different. Among the enemy teams, there will inevitably be animals such as mules and horses. The blood of mules and horses, the blood of ferocious beasts, or the urine of ferocious beasts contains scent.

When the enemy troops pass by, the animals with a keen sense of smell will become restless when they smell the scent of natural enemies. If the enemy troops do not know what is going on, they will suddenly feel restless while sitting down on their mounts, and the enemy commander will suddenly become suspicious.

When doubts arise in the mind, hesitation and hesitation arise, and the enemy's courage is weakened.

On the battlefield here, the best thing to use is ferocious beast urine. Unfortunately, although the Julu Army has this method of fighting and has bought some ferocious beasts from Luoyang, they are short of time and cannot bring them with them on this trip.

There is enough animal urine, so it is useless.

The remaining senses of touch, taste, and touch can be used to intimidate the enemy. The only thing I can think of is the tremor of the ground, causing thousands of soldiers and thousands of horses to stamp on the ground together.

Was shocked.

Except for the sense of taste, this is difficult to operate. What can be used is blood. The smell of blood can not only be smelled, but also tasted. By pouring some animal blood upstream of the enemy's water source, the enemy soldiers tasted the blood without knowing why.

They will also be suspicious, and they will also be cruel and not ask questions. Such methods are useless in fighting tomorrow.

The whole set of deterrence methods has been discussed. We need to mobilize the soldiers and cavalry, we need to collect the flags of the entire army, we need to collect all the red feathers and send them to the crossbow troops, and we need to send out orders early to explain that tomorrow we will stamp our feet, shout to kill, etc.

matters.

Estimating the time, it was almost dawn and there was not much free time left. Without any delay, everyone went their separate ways to get busy.

Time gradually passed, the stars in the night sky gradually disappeared, and dawn was not far away.

Before the daylight fully dawned, the Julu Army made all preparations for combat. A total of more than 12,000 people went into battle, including more than 3,500 cavalry, 2,800 crossbowmen, and the remaining infantry.

Lancers made up the majority.

Taking advantage of the last bit of darkness, the various units lined up in combat formation and marched towards the gate of Yuyang City in a semi-hidden way. The only reason why it was semi-hidden was because it would be light soon, so there was no need to hide carefully.

, just asked the soldiers to walk lightly, and they were considered to be marching in secret.

——

At the top of Yuyang City, a small school guard who had been guarding the city all night yawned. London glanced out from the top of the city. It was not bright yet, and it was hazy at first glance. In addition, the small school guarding the city

The sleepy consciousness was blurry, and he didn't notice anything unusual at first glance. When the primary school boy paused for a while, leaning against the battlement, it was just this moment. Time passed a little bit and the sky got a little brighter. The primary school guard suddenly felt that there was something strange.

, it seems... someone!

A clever, small school guarding the city suddenly opened his eyes to look intently. This sight immediately made him shocked and said, "The officers...the officers and soldiers are coming!"
