Chapter 332 Liu Ji’s two strategies of cavalry charging into battle
Chapter 331: Liu Ji’s cavalry rushes into battle with two strategies
As long as one of the six passes on the eastern front is lost, the imperial court will definitely try its best.
Qin Hao is naturally not the only one who has this idea.
The Han Dynasty's tactics to preserve its strength made even loyal ministers like Liu Yu who were die-hardly loyal to the Han very dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Hearing Qin Wen's inquiry, Liu Ji shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said with a smile: "This plan is related to the rescue of Xuanyuan Pass."
As soon as the counselors heard this, they knew that although they had no plan to defeat the enemy, they all guessed that the Yellow Turban might use Xuanyuan Pass to operate, but the other generals did not have such qualifications, and they all looked shocked.
It turns out that this matter was already known, this is amazing!
After taking in the reactions of the generals around him, Liu Ji laughed at himself: I am not a good counselor if I offer advice without absolute certainty.
However, even if the Yellow Turbans still have a backup plan, if they use this strategy, they can at least win for a while.
Due to insufficient intelligence, even Liu Ji was not absolutely sure, but based on his intuition, he felt that the Yellow Turbans must have another trick.
“Since the Yellow Turbans are attacking again, the number of people attacking must be small. Therefore, our army will rush to support Xuanyuan Pass with part of its cavalry first. If the enemy fails to seize the pass, it must be more urgent. At this time, our army takes the initiative to attack, and the Yellow Turbans will definitely come to fight.”
"Wait a minute." Qin Hao frowned slightly and asked, "Since the Yellow Turbans know that our army is sending cavalry, how can they fight a decisive battle with our army even if they are eager to seize the official position?"
"Yes." Liu Ji smiled confidently, then walked to the map and pointed, "As long as the decisive battle location is set here, the Yellow Turbans will definitely fight our army."
“Kaifeng?” Everyone not only raised their voices, but also exclaimed in surprise: “Why is this?”
Kaifeng in the late Han Dynasty was not Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was just a relatively prosperous county outside Luoyang. Because it was located outside the Eight Passes of Protection, it was now occupied by the Yellow Turbans.
"Yes, Kaifeng is close to Chenliu. The Yellow Turbans have enough time to mobilize sufficient troops to encircle and suppress our cavalry leaving the customs."
“But what good will this do to our army?”
A cold light flashed in Liu Ji's eyes, and he sneered: "The terrain here is flat and smooth, which is very suitable for cavalry combat. Our cavalry can use this terrain to engage in mobile warfare with the Yellow Turbans. When the battle is halfway through, another cavalry force of our army joins. Then hour…"
There is no need for Liu Jiming to say what follows. Everyone knows that the result will definitely be a crushing defeat.
"This plan is great and can be implemented." Qin Wen said with a smile on his face and stroking his beard: "Hao'er, you are the cavalry general. You should be responsible for the dispatch of the cavalry."
"Promise." Qin Hao responded with clasped fists, then looked at his generals and ordered in a deep voice: "Where is Lu Bu?"
"The general is here!" Lu Bu stood up, half-kneeling on one knee and cupping his fists.
“Now Lu Bu is appointed as the main general, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yu Juluo and the four generals as assistants. They will lead the three divisions of Youzhou and Hedong in Bingzhou. A total of 20,000 cavalry will go to rescue Xuanyuan Pass and then go out to start a war."
Lu Bu looked shocked. He didn't expect that Qin Hao would actually let him serve as the general. Then he shouted excitedly: "No!"
Seeing that Qin Hao's troop deployment was just right, Liu Ji couldn't help but nod in his heart. Separating the other three cavalry units from the strongest Yanmen cavalry would definitely have a miraculous effect in the decisive battle.
After receiving the order, the five generals headed by Lu Bu strode out immediately. After ordering their 20,000 cavalry, they immediately headed straight to Xuanyuan Pass in the southeast.
"Twenty thousand cavalry went south, and now there are still 30,000 cavalry in the pass. The Yellow Turbans have been attacking the city for five consecutive days. If they can't attack for a long time, their troops will naturally weaken. They certainly didn't expect that our army would come out. As long as we use cavalry to charge at this time, If we form a formation, we will definitely defeat the Yellow Turbans," Liu Ji offered his advice again. "The terrain in front of Hulao Pass is narrow and can only accommodate five thousand cavalry at most. How can this small force defeat the 50,000 Yellow Turban army outside the city?" Dong Zhuo questioned.
Even if the cavalry has an advantage over the infantry, don't forget that the Yellow Turbans also have cavalry, and with a strength ratio of 1:10, even the Yanmen cavalry cannot disrupt the enemy's formation.
The unfavorable generals spoke out one after another, opposing such a risky plan, but Liu Ji still looked unworried. He was about to ask for a loan, but Qin Hao spoke first.
"It can be done, as long as the impostor can be killed on the spot." Qin Hao raised his lips slightly and said confidently: "Ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers don't know that Xiang Yu is an impostor. Xiang Yu has the highest ranking among the Yellow Turban Army, second only to Zhang With the horn's prestige, if he is killed, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely collapse without a fight."
A flash of understanding suddenly flashed in everyone's eyes. Who would have thought that Xiang Yu, who was the best in the world, would also be killed by others? It is indeed feasible if it can be implemented.
But is it really that simple to kill that impostor?
“Xiang Yu is the flag of the Yellow Turban Army, so that impostor will definitely not risk participating in the war.”
"The counterfeiters are in the Yellow Turban Army. Once the beheading operation fails, the entire army may be surrounded by the Yellow Turbans."
“Besides, there are four yellow turban generals guarding the impostor, so it’s not that easy to kill him.”
“It’s better to be safer, wait for news from the southeastern front, and fight the battle of Kaifeng.”
There are still many opponents with various reasons, but Qin Hao has made up his mind and immediately asked for orders: "Commander Father, I am 70% sure that I can win this battle. Please agree."
Qin Wen sighed and said, "That's right."
Qin Hao was immediately overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "My child will not disappoint his handsome father."
After quickly ordering the five thousand cavalry, Qin Hao immediately began to order the generals.
"Zhao Yun, you lead a thousand po army camp as the forward, and Yue Fei assists it. Ran Min, you lead three thousand Huben camp as the middle army, Su Dingfang assists it. General Ben Ben personally leads a thousand cavalry as the rear army, Qin Yong Wei Chi Gong Shan Xiongxin Qin Hu and Qin Zheng assisted him."
After looking around at the excellent army in front of him, Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted again: "Our army has only one purpose in going out of the city this time, and that is to kill the counterfeit Xiang Yu. The terrain outside Hulao Pass is at most It can only accommodate five thousand cavalry, and the number of enemy troops is ten times that of ours. Once we stop charging, we will be surrounded by enemy troops. Therefore, we must not stop charging without killing the impostor. Do you understand? ?”
“Understand, understand…” The roar was like thunder.
“Open the city gate and charge the whole army.” Qin Hao shouted violently.
Pairs of black-armored elite cavalry, led by the silver-armored Zhao Yun, galloped on the main road in the center of Hulao Pass, and quickly sprinted towards the city gate, which was also slowly opening.
The yellow scarf soldiers who were attacking the city outside the pass were all stunned. Then they were overjoyed and rushed towards the city gate.
After the city gate opened wide, the Yellow Turban soldiers were ready to rush in, but who would have thought that an overwhelming force was about to attack them.
The decisive battle begins and the climax begins. It’s definitely not as simple as you think. Please subscribe and give me a monthly recommendation vote!
