Chapter 1018: Deterrence tactics are launched(2/2)
Before the war, the Julu Army made careful considerations. They considered that deterring the enemy with a rain of arrows would inevitably lead to the loss of arrows. They were afraid that the enemy would think that the Julu Army had run out of arrows, which would lead to the enemy thinking of attacking, so they deliberately added three waves of arrows.
The ending rain of arrows seemed to be a warning to the enemy. Look, our army still has missing arrows.
In the silence, the Julu Army made another move.
When Li Mengxi was looking at the enemy formation, he said, "Kill! Kill! Kill!" In the array of sword and shield soldiers, all the infantrymen slapped their shields and roared. In the silence, a sudden loud shout of killing broke out.
Li Mengxi was frightened, and the old horse under him, which had been frightened on the battlefield for a long time, was also frightened, making Herod a little restless.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The wave of calls to kill is getting more intense.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The crossbowmen were also shouting kill.
So does the cavalry.
So is the spearman.
There were deafening shouts of death from all directions. Li Mengxi was among them, and his ears were buzzing from the shock.
This is the art of frightening the enemy with sound and the art of frightening the enemy with battle cry.
Everything must be done over and over again, and the art of war also emphasizes that one vigorous effort will weaken again and again, and three or two will be exhausted. Li Mengxi, Guan Yu and others clearly know that roaring also consumes physical strength. After roaring for a while, the physical strength will weaken, and the roar will become louder.
The smaller it is, the enemy will see that our army is weak, and it will be worse than going too far. Therefore, the advance arrangement is to just roar for a few times.
The war cry was the biggest and most shocking noise made by the Julu Army. The shouts of killing came suddenly and went away quickly. Before the enemy could react, the shouts of killing suddenly came all at once.
It stopped, and the battlefield suddenly returned to silence.
The Julu Army's methods of frightening the enemy are all on display.
What's the effect?
At this time, from the enemy's perspective, the entire enemy army was silent.
At the front of the formation, the enemy soldiers in the front row all had uneasy looks on their faces. They frequently turned back to look at where the Chinese army's flag was, obviously intending to retreat.
The enemy soldiers were only intimidated by the momentum, the Julu Army's formation that was as neat as a wall as they marched, the Julu Army's rear formation like a forest of gun shadows, and the Julu Army's thunderous stampede on the ground.
The sound, as well as the terrifying momentum of thousands of giant deer troops chiming in unison, frightened the enemy soldiers.
The enemy general, Zhang Ju, saw more and more deeply than ordinary soldiers. Zhang Ju's face was livid, his face was tense, his teeth were clenched involuntarily, and he stared at the officers and soldiers with wide eyes.
Observing the formation, Zhang Ju saw that in the Julu Army's formation, as far as he could see, there were all armored soldiers. There were probably no less than ten thousand people wearing armor. Zhang Ju also saw that the officers and soldiers were in a neat formation, which was unprecedented, which clearly shows the training of the officers and soldiers.
Those who are good at commanding troops must also be proficient in formation strategies. Zhang Ju also saw that there were clouds of flags in the formation of the army, so he knew that the strength of the army must be very large. Upon closer inspection, Zhang Ju knew that this was impossible.
The enemy's army is difficult to defeat.
Zhang Ju sighed dejectedly, already thinking of retreating.
At the same time, in the Julu Army's formation, Li Mengxi and Guan Yu speculated on the enemy's next move and talked about how to deal with it if the enemy slowly came forward.
"If the enemy comes to attack us," Li Mengxi rubbed his chin and thought, "then beat him!"
Guan Yu smiled and nodded, raised his hand to point to the enemy's formation, and asked, "Xi'er, where do you think we should attack if we attack it?"
Li Mengxi then carefully observed the enemy's formation and saw that the enemy's elite troops were in the middle, and the enemy's commander's flag was there. Li Mengxi then pointed to the position of the enemy's commander's flag and said, "The enemy's elite is in the middle, and the enemy's commander's flag is there.
The two wings looked like Hu soldiers and horses, and one thought that in order to capture the thief and capture the king, the enemy's elite troops in the center should be destroyed first. Once the enemy's elite troops were destroyed, the Hu people would flee in the wind."
Li Mengxi's observation of the battlefield is not inaccurate. The enemy's army is arranged like this. Most of the elite officers and soldiers are in the middle, and the troops on the two wings look like Hu troops from the costumes and equipment.
Regarding Li Mengxi's idea of attacking the enemy's elite first and annihilating the elite enemy's weaker troops, which would naturally collapse without a fight, Guan Yu was noncommittal and shook his head with a smile.
Seeing Guan Yu's reaction, Li Mengxi knew that Guan Yu did not agree with this approach. He looked at Guan Yu and asked doubtfully, "General Guan, shouldn't we attack the enemy's center?"
Guan Yu did not answer, but asked with a smile, "Is the enemy's center strong or weak?"
"There are many soldiers in the enemy's center and the formation is well organized. Naturally, they are strong troops."
"What about the enemy wings?"
"The enemy's two wings have few soldiers and a slightly chaotic formation, so the troops are naturally weak."
"That's it." Guan Yu smiled and nodded, staring at Li Mengxi's doubtful eyes, and said leisurely, "Don't you hear, [Don't attack the formation]?"
Li Mengxi's eyes widened, "(Don't attack... the majestic formation?)"
"Do not attack the nobles without the banner of righteousness. This is the one who will lead the change." This is a sentence from Sun Tzu's Art of War. Li Mengxi has memorized all the more than 6,000 words in Sun Tzu's Art of War. He has memorized it all by heart.
Of course he knew that there was such a sentence in the Art of War, but he originally understood this sentence to mean that since the enemy's formation was well-organized, he should change his strategy and not fight the enemy head-on. He understood it so well, but there was another layer in it.
mean.
