Chapter 008 [Danyang Elite Soldiers]
"It's so outrageous that our Allied Scouts were not aware of the attack on the camp!"
Just as Li Li walked to the inner room of the tent, he took the brocade robe handed over by Lu Lingqi, Gongsun Zan's rebuke came from the big tent outside the door. The Internet is worthy of your collection. He stopped immediately, waved his hand to signal Lu Lingqi not to speak, and turned to the window, looked at the firelight far outside the window, listened to the deafening shouts and the accusations in the tent outside the door.
It was indeed accusation. Gongsun Zan's indignant reprimand was actually accusing Lu Bu, because the scouts, whistle cavalry and Xizuo outside the camp were all soldiers under Lu Bu's command, and the soldiers responsible for guarding the camp tonight were also soldiers under Lu Bu's tent. After all, he was the vanguard of the Allied Army. The army set up camp here on the first day. The responsibility for protecting the safety of the camp naturally fell on Lu Bu's shoulders, and he had no choice.
Now that the camp is attacked, Lu Bu cannot refuse to blame and should bear full responsibility.
"Wen Hou, the scouts outside the camp are all soldiers under your tent. Now Yuan Shu's army has reached the door. What do you think should you do?" As expected, after Gongsun Zan started, someone immediately responded and directly attacked Lu Bu. This voice was very familiar, and it was Li Li's confidant and beloved general Dian Wei.
"Yes, Mr. Wen, Yuan's army is attacking Yuanmen. Why don't you lead the army to meet the enemy, but instead appear here?"
"That's right. The scout under the tent of Marquis Wen is incompetent, and he is now in trouble. Now he is waiting in the tent of my lord and the general. He is indeed a bit suspicious of being at the forefront!"
"I'll solve the trouble I've caused by myself. Do you still have to wait to wipe your butt?" The condemnation escalated and began to verbally abuse it.
"That's right. You'll say that without the ability to guard the camp. Isn't the Xiliang Army without soldiers guarding the camp?"
""
Seeing that the generals were getting more and more outrageous, Lu Bu's gloomy face was covered with clouds, and he clenched his fists. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. At this time, the military advisor Guo Jia finally stood up to stop: "Don't be impatient, don't argue again! In the face of the great enemy, we must not be distracted. We should share the same hatred of the enemy. Discussing how to retreat to the enemy is the top priority at the moment. As for merits and demerits, who should take responsibility. This is all after the war. Now is not the time to discuss the issue of responsibility!" Guo Jia finally pointed out the key to the problem, and successfully shifting the topic can be regarded as resolutely resolute Lu Bu.
Chen Gong took over the conversation and said loudly: "It is not the time to hold the responsibility. At this moment, Yuan's army is attacking the city in large numbers. The gate is in danger. The generals are still focusing on how to break the enemy and retreat to the enemy. "Chen Gong's words undoubtedly diverted his attention, which was equivalent to indirectly replacing Lu Bu's defense and making a remark.
Indeed, when the soldiers were arranged to guard the camp in the evening, Lu Bu took the initiative to volunteer to guard the camp with good intentions. However, Yuan's army came to a sneak attack on the night of the coalition camp. And it still attacked the camp at dawn, causing the soldiers guarding the camp to be caught off guard and fell into a passive position, and temporarily at a disadvantage. Despite this, if Yuan Shu's army thought that by using sneak attacks, they could break through the coalition camp or defeat the coalition army, it would be whimsical and foolish.
It should be noted that there are 160,000 troops stationed in this camp. Half of infantry and cavalry, Yuan Shu's army, who attacked sneak all night, had a full force, but its strength was only comparable to that of the coalition forces. There was no advantage in military strength at all. The only reliance of Yuan's army at present was to surprise attacks, and taking advantage of the uncertain weather, the coalition forces did not know the military situation and dared not attack rashly. Otherwise, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in this battle of robbery. Whether Yuan Shu's army can get a bargain is still unknown.
Indeed, at most, Yuan Shu, the command of Huainan, does not exceed 200,000 troops, and the troops are comparable to the coalition forces. Moreover, most of the troops under Yuan Shu are infantry and lacks the ability to move quickly. Perhaps they have good combat power in attacking camps, but the combat in the wilderness is far less than that of the coalition forces. Once the coalition forces find out the reality and then take the initiative to attack, nearly 100,000 iron cavalry will be unstoppable like a tiger coming out of the cage. If this is true, then the Yuan Shu army who came to rob the camp will be at an absolute disadvantage in an instant. Not only will they not be able to gain a advantage, but they will also suffer a great loss and pay a heavy price for this.
The words of Guo Jia and Chen Gong successfully diverted the signs of condemnation among the generals in the tent, which not only helped Lu Bu to relieve the siege, but also caused everyone to think silently.
In the inner room separated by only one door, when Lu Lingqi heard many Xiliang generals accusing her father Lu Bu, she was so anxious that she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet. However, Li Li, who was standing in front of the window, looked as if she was old and diligent, and admired the flames outside the window with interest. No matter how loud the shouts and rumbling sounds were, she remained calm and stood calm, with a calm expression as water, without waves or waves.
"The situation is urgent, and the army of more than 100,000 is in danger. Isn't you really not in a hurry at all? Are you worried?" Lu Lingqi couldn't help but ask softly.
Li Li turned around and looked at Lu Lingqi's haggard and beautiful face, with a calm expression and a gentle tone: "Why are you anxious? What's there to worry about? It's just a show of nothing but a truth. At best, it's just a bluff. Why scare yourself?"
"Uh! My husband said that Yuan's night attack was a bluff? How could he tell me?" Lu Lingqi asked in surprise.
Li Li smiled indifferently, raised his hand to point at the fire outside the window, and said with a firm expression: "Look at the huge momentum, there are shouts of killing in the east, west and south. This is a typical method of siege of three or one in the city. Hahaha, siege of three or one in one, it's really a shame Yuan Shu can think of it!" Speaking of this, Li Li couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
"Using the method of siege to sneak attack the camp is itself a sign that Yuan Shu is strong and has already felt guilty before the war has started." Looking at the fire outside the window with disdain, Li Li whispered: "Now, our Allied forces are almost equal to the troops under Yuan Shu, and no one has a clear advantage in military strength. If Yuan Shu really has the courage to fight our army to the death, then he should lead the army out in full swing, seize the moment when our Allied forces have just arrived here and have not yet stabilized, gather all their strength at one point, attack hard, and then start a decisive battle with our Allied forces. Only in this way can he have a chance to win.
However, the situation in front of us is a siege. This form of sneak attack seems to be huge, but in fact it is fierce and bluffing. This shows that Yuan Shu did not send all his troops, but sent some troops to attack. The purpose is to make a big fuss, create a huge offensive, confuse the public, attempt to disrupt the morale of our allies, shake the morale of the army, and prompt our army to squeeze or trample on each other in panic, and then abandon the camp from the north gate of the camp. If this is true, then more than 100,000 Allied troops will be defeated without fighting. Not to mention that the entire army will suffer huge casualties, the military supplies in the camp alone will be burned or seized by the Yuan army. If the baggage is lost, then we will lose the siege of the city to attack Shouchun City. In this way, the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Shu will undoubtedly be defeated, and there is no reason to win."
While speaking, Li Li paused and laughed: "It's a pity that Yuan Shu was too petty after all, and wasted his hands and feet, lacking the courage to give it a try, thus wasting a great opportunity to turn defeat into victory. But tonight, your father was indeed too careless, or underestimated the enemy, and actually let Yuan Jun approach the camp quietly. This is a taboo of military strategists. So he was criticized just now and it was not unfair. This lesson may make him not make the same mistake again in the future. Okay, let's go out, otherwise they should be anxious." After speaking, Li Li strided forward, and Lu Lingqi opened the door first.
In fact, Li Li had just said something, but he swallowed it back. The reason why he was not in a hurry to go to the big tent to dispatch troops and generals and sent troops to resist Yuan's army's attack on the camp was because the soldiers guarding the camp who were fighting with Yuan's army were all under Lu Bu's tent. Among them, the most elite infantry under Lu Bu's tent was the Danyang elite soldiers.
This world-famous elite infantry army can be said to be the backbone of guarding Xuzhou for many years, and it is also the only elite soldier left by Tao Qian, the governor of Laozhou in Xuzhou. Originally, the elite soldiers of Danyang have always been in the hands of the Xuzhou family. Liu Bei was unable to fully control this army when he was in charge of Xuzhou. However, in recent years, they have been brought to Lu Bu by Cao Bao and the Guangling clan Chen Deng, which is considered to be his favorites and to win Lu Bu's trust.
This time, Lu Bu led his army to fight against Yuan Shu and brought this army by his side, which could not only charge and conquer the city, but also play a certain guard against the Western Liang Iron Cavalry under Li Li's command. The current general who controls the elite soldiers of Danyang is Lu Bu's "cheap father-in-law" Cao Bao, which is also the direct reason why Li Li had never seen Cao Bao but was able to reveal his identity when he first met. Because Li Li has always been paying attention to the whereabouts of this army, and Cao Bao is in charge of this army, so he is naturally familiar with Cao Bao.
It is necessary to appropriately weaken Lu Bu's strength. Nowadays, strength is the backbone of the princes. The stronger the strength, the straighter the backs of these princes will be, and the more confident they will be; vice versa.
Judging from the current situation, Lu Bu will definitely not surrender to him Li Li easily. Since this is the case, it is imperative to weaken Lu Bu's strength without any trace, and Lu Bu's greatest reliance is the Wolf Cavalry Army and the Danyang elite soldiers.
In fact, it has been half an hour since the Yuan army attacked the camp. The banging gate had already been shaking, but until now, the gate has not fallen. This itself shows that the Danyang elite soldiers are indeed well-known and have very strong combat power. Faced with an extremely unfavorable situation, the Danyang elite soldiers guarding the camp took the initiative and suppressed the Yuan army's fierce offensive momentum, so that the Yuan army has not yet stepped into the camp for a strong attack.
Until now, the camp gate still stands tall, and the entire camp is still in the hands of the Allies and is unbreakable.
This is the real elite soldier, who is not surprised when changes are happening, is calm in the face of danger, is brave and tenacious, does not retreat when fighting to the death, and then attacks. Danyang's elite soldier is well deserved and can be called a rare elite army in the world.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
The moment the calm and powerful footsteps came into the commander's tent, the two generals who had been waiting for a long time suddenly calmed down, sat upright one by one, saluting Li Li who had entered the commander's tent, and watched him sit slowly.
