After the troops are divided into two, Liu Bei's task is arduous. Liu Bei needs to use his inferior troops to firmly attract the enemy's troops, and he must fight against the enemy's troops for a month. The difficulty is that in order to attract the enemy's troops, he must

It must have sufficient deterrence, and the enemy army must not dare to leave it alone, but must fight for a month. Although the army has chariot formations and although it can use the method of earthen fortifications, the earthen fortifications of chariot formations are weak and long after all.

It will be difficult to hold on for a month.

If we have to resist for up to a month, we can still supply food and grass, but water is a big problem. Four thousand troops can be stationed under Nanpi City, and they can rely on the vehicle formation to defend steadily, and the food is enough to last for a month, but if they are stationed outside the city,

, there are no wells in the wasteland outside the city, just temporary wells dug, which may not necessarily bring water.

After considering all kinds of considerations, Liu Bei's first idea was that he wanted to find a small village near Nanpi City. The village did not need to be too big, as long as there was a well and a few broken houses, it would be enough.

It can solve the problem of drinking water. There are several broken houses that can be relied on for defense, which is much better than a simple car formation.

But there is a problem. For any big and fortified city, the city must be surrounded by fortified walls and clear fields. That is to say, the surrounding city is deserted, with not a single house or a village. If you want to find a village, the distance between the village and Nanpi City must be at least several miles away.

The key is here. If the distance is too far, the deterrence is far inferior to directly arraying under the city. If the deterrence is not enough, it will not be possible to achieve the strategic goal of firmly attracting the enemy to prevent them from letting go.

The dilemma was placed in front of Liu Bei, either to directly form a formation under the city. The vehicle formation was weak, the defense was difficult, and the water source was difficult to solve. This method was as close as a few feet to the enemy city and had a strong deterrent effect. The Nanpi enemy

The army must be firmly attracted; or, they can find a village to station near Nanpi City. This method can solve the problem of water sources, and with the village as a support, the defense can be greatly strengthened, but this method has insufficient deterrence.

After careful consideration, Liu Bei thought of a way to have the best of both worlds. He decided to go around to the north of Nanpi City and station himself behind Nanpi City.

The enemy comes from the north and fights all the way south from Yuyang to the Bohai Sea. Therefore, leading the army to the north of Nanpi City is equivalent to stationing on the enemy's retreat route in the city. If the retreat is restricted, how can the enemy in the city be inferior to Mang

On your back?

As long as you are stationed in the north of Nanpi City, even if you are stationed in a village, even if you are far away from the city, as long as you are in the north on the enemy's retreat route, your deterrence will not be much smaller.

Liu Bei asked himself, if there was a strong enemy behind him, would he dare to ignore this strong enemy? Liu Bei thought to himself that he did not dare.

Similarly, as long as the enemy commander is not stupid, he will definitely treat him with full caution.

This is a conspiracy. Even if the enemy commander is very smart, even if he knows that Liu Bei's troops are a sheep attack, and the key is Li Mengxi's troops who are gathering troops in the rear, even if the enemy commander knows this, he will never dare to relax.

Any warning against Liu Bei.

Liu Bei has four thousand soldiers, which is not too much, but it is really a lot. If we don't keep enough troops to keep an eye on it, I'm afraid Liu Bei will attack the city by accident and the city will be destroyed.

Everything went as Liu Bei expected. After Liu Bei made a large circle and settled in a deserted village north of Nanpi City, not long after, he saw an enemy scout looking at him from afar and then rushing back in a panic.

Liu Bei stood at the head of the village. He pointed at the enemy scouts who were retreating and said to his centurions, "I expect that the enemy army will come in a while."

While saying this, Liu Bei was also thinking about how to deal with the possibility of enemy troops coming after a while. Looking back, he saw that his battle formation had been set up, and the car formation was tightly surrounded by the village. With this

Fortresses, enemy troops attacking villages, etc., if attacking a city, have a certain formation, and it is not difficult to defend them.

Thinking about the need to frighten the enemy, Liu Bei then thought that military advisers often say that one punch can be used to deflect, but a hundred punches can be avoided. After the enemy attacks, if they see a tight barrier, they will not dare to attack rashly, it must be a harassment and test.

It doesn't stop, it's annoying.

Liu Bei thought thoughtfully, if he showed his weakness to the enemy, deliberately lured most of the enemy troops to press him, and then defeated them in one fell swoop, hitting the enemy with a single punch, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble?

After thinking about this, Liu Bei issued a military order. He asked his soldiers to quickly put away the surrounding vehicle array and take it back to the village to show that the enemy was weak. Then, he sent some grain and grass vehicles eastward, westward, westward and eastward.

He kept returning, pretending that the grain truck was entering the village and was not stationed there, so as to deceive the enemy into attacking.

In accordance with the military order, the soldiers quickly dispersed the vehicle formation and pushed all the sidecars into the village. At the same time, several groups of grain trucks began to come and go non-stop.

In this compartment, as soon as Liu Bei finished making arrangements, he heard the rumble of horse hoofs coming, indicating that the enemy's advance troops had arrived.

The first to arrive was a cavalry team of more than 300 riders, led by a Hu general named "Cong Na Lou".

When the enemy cavalry came to attack, the soldiers transporting grain and fodder immediately threw away the grain as ordered, deliberately overturned the grain cart to the ground, and then fled back to the village in panic, creating a sense of panic.

This scene completely fell into Hu Qi's eyes. Seeing this, Hu Qi could tell that the army's garrison was not stable, so he rushed over to catch him off guard.

Hu Qi all wanted to fight, but Hu Cong was very cautious on the floor. Considering that he had been fighting against this group of officers and soldiers for many days and suffered setbacks time and time again, these officers and soldiers were not easy to deal with.

The strong combat power of the Julu Army recently made Hu Cong fearful. He thought that even if the army's garrison was not stable, he would lead more than 300 cavalry by himself. If there were too few people, he would not be able to do well.

Looking into the distance, I saw flags flying wildly in the village, and it was clear that manpower was being deployed to organize a defense.

There was a calculation in the heart of the building. The officers and soldiers were not yet secure, and they did not have enough troops. They had to go back quickly to inform the troops and take advantage of the irregular formation of the officers and soldiers to attack quickly, so as not to miss the opportunity.

After making up his mind, he immediately took the people back without stopping from that building.

After a while, the Hu people arrived in large numbers. Thousands of Hu people on foot and cavalry surrounded the village from all sides. After the enemy organized their troops for a while, they pressed directly towards the village.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the beginning of the battle, the two sides fired bows and crossbows at each other. The enemy infantry pressed towards the village while holding their bows and shooting from a distance.

In the village, those giant deer soldiers climbing on the roofs responded with arrows from a high position. The arrows from both sides were flying non-stop, and the atmosphere of war was instantly full.

The Julu Army did not have a stable foothold. The deserted village where the Julu Army was stationed had not yet had time to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. There was a small forest to the east of the village. The forest provided cover and blocked the rain of arrows shot from the village. The enemy commander

He was also a smart man and invested the most troops in the east.

The army fought with no more than three losses when faced with the enemy. It only took a moment for the arrows from both sides to exchange. Amidst the shouts of killing, the soldiers were engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

There are five paths in and out of the deserted village, and there are even more openings in front of and behind the houses. In addition, the houses in the village are not very tall and can be entered by climbing over the wall. The enemy infantry are armed with swords, guns and weapons and are shouting to kill them.

He then killed his way in through any opening that allowed him to enter the village.

There is a courtyard in the northwest corner of the village. The houses in the courtyard are dilapidated. The only thing blocking the outside is a low wall. The height of the low wall is not high. An enemy soldier who arrived first used the speed of running to step on the wall with his hands.

With a little help from the top of the wall, you can easily climb over the wall.

winter!

Bang! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The enemy soldier had just climbed over the foot of the wall and landed. Before he could see the situation clearly, the moment he landed, the sound of countless crossbows sounded at the same time. In an instant, seven or eight arrows were nailed to the enemy soldier.

On his body, the enemy soldier who climbed over first was killed immediately.

Across the wall, the people behind the wall had no idea what was happening inside. The enemy infantry behind them climbed over the wall one after another, and screams came one after another from behind the wall.

Behind this low wall, five steps away from the low wall, there is a formation of vehicles. Julu sergeants are fighting condescendingly on the chariots with the enemy. The crossbowmen on the chariots are constantly pouring arrows from their crossbows.

, beside the crossbowman, the spearman held the spear tightly and pointed the gun head toward the outside of the car, waiting for an enemy to pounce and shoot him back.

In this small battlefield behind the wall, it is enough for the crossbowmen to fight for the time being. The crossbowmen on the car do not need to cock the string themselves. After firing a crossbow, they hand it to the crossbow without looking at it.

Behind him, other soldiers under the car put away the empty crossbows and quickly handed over another loaded crossbow. In this way, although there were only a dozen crossbowmen in the car, their shooting frequency was several times that.

, equivalent to dozens of crossbowmen fighting in the front row.

This is called the crossbow tactic. The tactic comes from the tactics of defending the city. When defending the city, if the soldiers want to shoot out through the battlements, or the crossbowmen guard the edge of the battlements, and after shooting, they will cock the bow and shoot again.

, or the personnel rotate, and the person in front retreats immediately after shooting, and the person behind him takes over.

Neither of these two methods is the best. The former has a slow attack frequency and relies on one person to shoot non-stop for a long time, which consumes physical strength quickly. The latter method is much better. Manpower rotation can not only speed up the shooting frequency, but also allow for rotation.

By shooting, the crossbowman's physical strength can be restored, but with this method, personnel have to shift positions front and back, and the space on the city wall is limited. If more people move around, it will add a lot of chaos.

Regardless of whether it is fixed manpower or rotating shooting, there are flaws, so there is a third method, the crossbow tactic.

Crossbow-passing tactics eliminate personnel movement and reduce confusion. Crossbow-passing tactics can also increase the firing frequency several times, greatly increasing the firing density.

Now behind this low wall, Julu Sergeant is using the crossbow tactic. The power of the crossbow tactic is fully exerted. The enemy troops keep climbing over the wall like dumplings. After Julu Sergeant shoots a gun

Another crossbow was replaced, and after firing one crossbow, another was replaced, with almost no pause, and the shooting frequency was extremely fast.

In a short time, more than twenty corpses of enemy soldiers who jumped in and were shot dead on the spot were piled up behind the wall.

Although the crossbow's lethality is strong, it is limited after all.

With a sound of winter, an enemy leader wearing heavy iron armor rolled in. This enemy leader not only had a good appetite, but also had rich combat experience. After jumping down, this man didn't even look and just rolled on the spot with his round shield in his arms.

It was because of this roll that the man hid behind the shield and rolled to the side. Multiple crossbow arrows were nailed to his position. The crossbow arrows hit the earth wall and made a flapping sound. Fortunately, they hit this enemy soldier.

The crossbow arrows were also blocked by the thick iron shield in the hands of the enemy leader and failed to kill the man on the spot.

The appearance of this brave enemy soldier with rich combat experience disrupted the attack rhythm of the crossbowmen, and there was a momentary pause in shooting.

The experienced enemy leader knew that he must not retreat when fighting in close combat. He knew that he could only survive by attacking. After he stabilized himself from the rolling position, he raised his shield and was about to rush forward to kill. Suddenly, a sharp scream came from

The enemy leader flew over his head, and the enemy was startled and quickly shrank his head. In panic, his movements suddenly stagnated.

Immediately afterwards, several more dynamite guns flew towards the enemy leader in a rapid and rapid manner. The sharp neighing sound of the dynamite gun passed by his ears. When he was shocked, the enemy leader's courage was shattered and he did not dare to go any further. He held the weapon in his arms.

The shield head shrank behind the shield and retreated.

The sound of the crossbow is like a signal. If you slow down the sound of the crossbow a step, the powerful crossbow arrows will go straight towards the enemy leader. In an instant, a bunch of crossbow arrows, whether it is seven or eight or a dozen, are all heading towards the enemy leader.

The solid shield in the leader's hand made a popping sound as it was hit by the dense arrows, almost knocking him off his hands.

The enemy leader no longer dared to think about advancing to kill him. He huddled behind his shield and retreated toward the corner, preparing to retreat to the corner and wait for more people to come in before choosing an opportunity to counterattack.

Suddenly, there was a pop sound, and the enemy leader felt a cold and stinging sensation on his feet, and his figure suddenly swayed.

It was at this moment, when the enemy leader was swaying, that more flaws were exposed, and dense crossbow arrows came whizzing in. One hit the enemy leader's shoulder, one pierced the calf, and one hit the arm.

With this heavy blow, the enemy leader was almost knocked to the ground by the force of the crossbow arrows. More flaws were exposed, and the crossbow arrows came more urgently.

Whoosh whoosh!

Puff puff!

The enemy leader was randomly shot through his body, and was shot to the ground like a hedgehog in an instant.

Seeing that the target finally fell to the ground, the archer on one side of the vehicle formation changed the direction of shooting and shot at another enemy.

The crossbowmen focused their fire for four or five rounds and fired nearly a hundred crossbows before they were able to kill the enemy soldiers who were covered by strong shields. The key is to focus the fire in real time. The key is to sound the dysprosium. The key is to fire the dysprosium at the critical moment to guide the attack.
