The sun was getting higher, and in the army camp, the officers and soldiers finally had breakfast.

Then, in accordance with the established strategy, Huangfu Song prepared to lead troops to harass the Zhuozhou Army in order to tire out the Zhuozhou Army.

Huangfu Song mobilized the cavalry in the army, divided it into several parts, and assembled four gates. Then, under a sudden order, the official cavalry rushed out of the camp.

In an instant, there was a loud sound of hooves.

After the military convoy formation in Zhuozhou, Li Mengxi found a place to lie down and rest out of the light. Li Mengxi, who had already fallen asleep, was suddenly startled out of his sleep.

As soon as he stood up, Li Mengxi became alert, and his hand immediately reached for the short knife at his waist.

Looking up, he saw the soldiers around him looking slightly panicked. Li Mengxi, who was disturbed from his sleep, frowned and stood up, trying to figure out what happened.

Soon, Li Mengxi figured out what happened.

The officers and soldiers want to rebel!

The army cavalry rushed out of the camp and circled around the camp!

If you don't stay in the camp honestly, are you trying to break out?! This is not a rebellion, but what is it you want to do?

I didn't have a good rest, and I was woken up just as I fell asleep. Li Mengxi was very angry.

After the car formation, Li Mengxi watched the cavalry of the officers and soldiers galloping around the camp with vigilance. Li Mengxi thought to himself that it would be easier for the officers and soldiers to break through and directly annihilate the Huangfu Song tribe.

The cavalry of the army and the army were still galloping, the hoofbeats were rumbling, the horses and men were noisy, the horses' hooves raised billowing dust, and the wind blew, creating a smoky atmosphere.

Li Mengxi originally thought that the army was planning to break out of the encirclement.

But after waiting for a long time, the army's cavalry was still circling, and they only circled around the army's own camp, not approaching the car formation at all.

After a long time, Li Mengxi became confused. The officers and soldiers behaved abnormally, and... the cavalry ran around the stronghold, never getting close if they didn't attack. This kind of operation felt very familiar to Li Mengxi...

Yes, in order to prevent the army from attacking at night, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also led the cavalry around the army camp last night, causing a disturbance all night long.

The two operations are the same.

Last night, the rebel army marched around the official camp. The purpose was to attack and defend, to prevent the official army from attacking at night. At the same time, it also disturbed the official army overnight and prevented them from resting peacefully.

Spending the power of a hundred cavalry will make tens of thousands of officers and soldiers unable to stabilize overnight. Hundreds of cavalry and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers will be defeated, which can be a strategy to defeat the army.

Thinking from Huangfu Song's side, the official cavalry should not be attacking or defending when they leave the camp. Huangfu Song's ordering the cavalry to leave the camp is tantamount to causing the cavalry to lose the protection of the camp and be exposed.

Then there is only one explanation for the abnormal behavior of the officers and soldiers. Huangfu Song was using a strategy of subduing his troops.

At this point, Li Mengxi frowned. He looked at the officers and cavalry rushing endlessly in the smoke and dust, and felt confused in his heart.

Huangfu Song wanted to use the method of subduing his troops. Why did Huangfu Song use the method of subduing his troops?

The current situation between the two sides is that Huangfu Song is trapped, and the cavalry is the most important combat force for Huangfu Song to break out. If Huangfu Song really wants to break out, he should not make the cavalry run around the camp to waste their horsepower. If they run for a moment or two, the horse's physical strength will be greatly reduced.

It consumes and has no energy to charge.

Li Mengxi thought thoughtfully. It seemed that Huangfu Song did not intend to break out of the encirclement today. If he did, the infantry should go out first. The infantry would attack a vehicle formation first, and then the cavalry would be weak in the attack.

Since Huangfu Song did not send out cavalry to break out today, there is only one possibility left. Huangfu Song wanted to pretend to break out, but in fact he intended to mobilize Zhuozhou troops and exhaust Zhuozhou soldiers.

Then, when Zhuozhou's men and horses are exhausted and their fighting power has been reduced again and again, Huangfu Song will definitely attack.

Li Mengxi thought to himself that if he were Huangfu Song, if he could break through the siege, he would definitely do so at night.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly realized that the Zhuozhou Army had taken a step ahead of Huangfu Song last night, eliminating the possibility of Huangfu Song's night attack.

But tonight, if Huangfu Song still wants to attack at night, we have to be on guard.

Now that he was surrounded on all sides, if Huangfu Song only sent a small number of light cavalry to attack, he would be doomed.

Huangfu Song's entire army broke out at night, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers tried to break out at night. This was a big trouble.

At night, the mobilization of troops and horses was slow, and command and communication at night were also troublesome.

Fighting at night will greatly reduce the combat power, which is the same for both sides.

However, due to the different strategic purposes of both the offensive and defensive sides, night battles had more advantages against the Huangfu Song tribe who wanted to break out of the encirclement.

During the day, Huangfu Songruo broke through the encirclement. As soon as he moved, the Zhuozhou army immediately knew his movement.

But at night, Huangfu Song broke through, and the Zhuozhou Army could only know that Huangfu Song had broken through. They could only hear the noise of people and horses, but for a while, they couldn't figure out which way Huangfu Song broke through, or even where Huangfu Song was.

Breakout in several directions.

Therefore, Huangfu Song only had to use more than a thousand dead soldiers to break out of the encirclement in all directions. In the darkness, the Zhuozhou Army only knew how to engage the enemy, but they did not know that those who came into contact were not Huangfu Song's main force, but only more than a hundred people.

Therefore, under the cover of night, Huangfu Song was able to hide the movements of the main force, take them by surprise, and jointly attack one place, greatly increasing the possibility of a successful breakout.

Li Mengxi frowned. If Huangfu Song broke through at night, it would be extremely difficult to annihilate Huangfu Song's troops in the dark night. Someone would definitely escape in the dark.

But if one person escapes, the Zhuozhou army will suffer.

We should try to be prepared at night to prevent Huangfu Song from escaping at night.

But after thinking about it, the vehicle formation has been set up, and there is no extra manpower to strengthen the defense. The soldiers are empty.

Even if you try to strengthen your defense by using things like holding horses, it will be of little use.

Suddenly, Li Mengxi suddenly thought of something, and he immediately turned around to look.

There are shadows behind him.

Frowning, he walked through the crowd to the back. After walking for more than ten steps, Li Mengxi saw a half-deep ditch dug by the peasants.

On one side of the ditch, freshly turned soil was piled there, forming a small slope.

(If the trench can be completed before tonight, Huangfu Song will lead his army to break through...) Li Mengxi smiled, "He can't escape."

Why are you afraid that Huangfu Song will break out of the siege at night?

Now that Huangfusong has broken through, the rebels have no trenches to rely on. If they wait until dark, the rebels have abundant people's strength and can dig deep trenches that are one person wide and one person wide.

There was a deep trench across the road, and Huangfu Song had no chance of escaping.

The situation is stronger than people, the situation is stronger than Huangfu Song.

The fighter planes changed so fast that it caught people off guard, and it was so fast that Huangfu Song would be caught off guard.

The key to preparing for Huangfu Song's breakthrough tonight lies in the trenches, and whether they can dig the trenches in one day. It takes a few days to frighten Huangfu Song and make Huangfu Song afraid to leave. The key to Zhuozhou Army's escape from Huangfu Song is also

Deep trench.

Seeing that the soldiers were holding wooden spears and the civilians were holding hoes and shovels, they were all gathering behind the car formation to guard against the officers and soldiers. Li Mengxi thought for a while and thought that it didn't matter what happened to the officers and soldiers. The new soldiers continued to train, and the civilians took the time to dig trenches.

If the officers and soldiers suddenly attack, and the soldiers are close to the chariot formation, they can immediately join the battle.

When a messenger cavalry passed by, Li Mengxi stopped the messenger cavalry and then explained to the messenger cavalry.

The cavalryman received instructions from Li Mengxi and immediately went to find Liu Bei among the crowd according to the commander's flag and reported the matter.

After receiving Li Mengxi's suggestion, Liu Bei ordered the cavalry to go around and order all the soldiers to drill as usual and the civilians to dig ditches as usual, regardless of the officers and soldiers.

After ordering the cavalry to run around the chariot formation for several weeks, the order was conveyed to the entire army. Soon, the Zhuozhou Army no longer stood guard around the chariot formation, and the soldiers began to line up again to prepare for formation drills. The peasants took hoes and shovels and went back to digging trenches.

On the official side, the changes in the Zhuozhou Army were completely seen in the eyes of Huangfu Song, who was leading the cavalry in the cavalry.

How can it be possible for the Zhuozhou army to be able to act on its own terms if the Zhuozhou army is tired?

Seeing that the Zhuozhou army ignored the official cavalry, Huangfu Song ordered the official cavalry to assemble.

Just hearing the changing sound of hoofbeats, Li Mengxi knew that there were changes in the army.

He stepped forward to look and saw that the officers and soldiers were no longer running around the camp, but the cavalry had gathered together and formed several huge cones of cavalry, with the heads of the cones facing the chariot formation, as if they were ready to charge and kill.

Perhaps, Liu Bei was frightened by the sudden formation of the army's formation, and Li Mengxi soon heard the order from the messenger ordering the entire army to prepare for war.

The military orders were like mountains, and as soon as they were issued, naturally, the soldiers who had just lined up for training and the civilians who had just dug trenches with hoes had to stop their movements, regroup their vehicles and take precautions.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but frown as he looked at the motionless officers and soldiers arrayed in the distance.

The officers and soldiers did not move, and they did not move. If they were to guard against him, they would not be able to train and dig trenches calmly. If they were not to guard against him, and if they did not order the entire army to defend, if Huangfu Song suddenly attacked, the soldiers would not know whether to defend or not.

.

If the Zhuozhou Army had enough outstanding grassroots officers, the grassroots officers would know when to defend and when to ignore them without detailed orders.

But nowadays, when talking about an army of tens of thousands, in fact, the lower-level officers and captains of the new recruits in the Zhuozhou Army can barely act according to orders. If they are asked to exert their subjective initiative, they may not be able to respond in time.

It was extremely troublesome, and the Zhuozhou Army was in a dilemma.

After a while, Liu Bei came over and asked Li Mengxi to discuss countermeasures.

Li Mengxi also had a headache. Huangfu Song's move was extremely disgusting. It was impossible to guard against it. If you didn't guard against it, you might be taken advantage of.

After thinking for a long time, Li Mengxi thought of a defensive counterattack method when defending the city. That is, when defending the city, the city gate can be suddenly opened wide and a group of powerful knights can suddenly rush out. This can disrupt the enemy's siege rhythm and is very useful for defending the city.

Huge benefits.

Therefore, Li Mengxi said, "We can have the two generals Guan and Zhang lead their cavalry into the formation to confront the officers and soldiers so that they dare not move rashly.

Our soldiers can train calmly, and the civilians can work calmly. With the cavalry on guard, even if the officers and soldiers suddenly attack, our army can respond in time."

As soon as Li Mengxi came up with his defensive counterattack, Huangfu Song's intimidation was immediately eliminated.

Liu Bei hesitated and hesitated, "... But the cavalry of the two armies are facing each other. What if there is a conflict?"

Liu Bei was hesitant and fearful of starting a fight with the army. Li Mengxi frowned.
