Lai Gong was very good at talking, but Lu Meng saw that he couldn't make sense, so he planned to return to the formation to direct the attack.

Lai Gongzheng was talking enthusiastically when he saw Lu Meng turning around to leave, and kept chattering after him: "There are many heroes in the world, tigers and wolves, but they have nothing to do with Er Jiangdong. If Sun Zhongmou can help the Han Dynasty, Yu Shui next to him may

It will flow backwards."

Lu Meng turned his head and said angrily: "You are not the governor of a remote place, but you have repeatedly insulted our Jiangdong monarchs and ministers. You were defeated and captured at a young age, so you will not die a good death."

"Hahaha, my ancestors were kings of vassal states. You are no more than a warrior, yet you dare to shout here? If you are defeated in a while, you should go home and farm." Lai Gong continued to provoke.

"You are so stubborn, that's very good. Let's see how you die in a while, huh..." Lu Meng angrily walked away.

Looking at Lu Meng's back, Shamoko looked at Lai Gong in surprise, and praised with great admiration: "It turns out that General Lai has the ability to argue, so Lu Meng's face turned green after hearing this..."

"It's a small skill...I can still fight with words, but I'll have to rely on Chief Sha for actual combat later..." Lai Gong replied sheepishly.

"Hey, General Gao has arranged everything. I have never been so relaxed." Samoko scratched his head and smiled.

After the exchange of words before the battle, the generals of both sides returned to the battle formation to arrange a fight.

Lü Meng had already begun to march with drum beating, but the defenders on the hill remained motionless.

A frontal attack from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. As long as the troops are not completely suppressed, the bottom of the mountain will be at a disadvantage at any time.

Since Lantian's side was in a commanding position, Lü Meng's side could not use any of its flanking, roundabout and surprise attacks. The cavalry on both sides were on guard against their opponents, so the infantry were fighting on the battlefield.

The first two rows of Samoko's barbarians defended with shields, followed by spearmen, archers and even catapults. The long-range soldiers used cyclic intensive shooting, and the melee soldiers cooperated with shields and spears to pierce. Due to the geographical advantage, the various arms cooperated well.

Seamless.

Pan Zhang's forwards lost five to six hundred men in the first attack. Lü Meng was sweating profusely at the difficult situation at the rear. In less than an hour, thousands of his forwards suffered heavy losses.

Pan Zhang couldn't bear seeing this and immediately came to the Chinese army to ask for instructions, "General, Lai Gong's defenders are in a good location and we can't attack them at all. If we continue to attack my forwards, they will all be killed in less than half a day..."

"What are the losses of Lai Gong's people?" Lu Meng asked with a frown.

Pan Zhang shook his head quickly, "Those aliens are thick-skinned and thick-skinned. They stood firm and did not move at all. I don't think there were many casualties. We can't continue to fight like this. We have to find a way to lure them down..."

"Do you think I don't want to? Look at the beacon tower on the mountain opposite..." Lu Meng pointed to the south and sighed.

Pan Zhang saw that in addition to the beacon fire, there were different flags waving. When he saw this, he exclaimed: "Did Lai Gong use the navy's flag language in land warfare? Is there anyone who can understand their flag language?"

"I can't understand..." Lu Meng shook his head.

"What should we do now?" Pan Zhang asked again.

"Ming Jin, please withdraw your troops. If the enemy chases them down the mountain, immediately attack them with both cavalry wings." Lu Meng ordered.

"only."

Pan Zhang hurriedly pulled back the soldiers who went up the mountain, while Ma Zhong led the cavalry to cross cover at the bottom of the mountain. However, the defenders who went up the mountain behaved "insensitively" and had no idea of ​​pursuing them.

Lantian's tactic is to wait and see, adhering to the principle of attacking the enemy when it comes and not pursuing the enemy when it leaves, taking the principle of waiting for work to its extreme.

Anyway, there is a beacon tower on the opposite side to monitor and control any military actions of the Jiangdong Army. Lu Meng is very uncomfortable with this extreme fighting style. He really has a sense that he will not fight, so no one in the world can fight with him.

The first battle was unfavorable, so Lü Meng withdrew his troops and returned to camp.

The morale of Jiangdong's soldiers was low, and Lu Meng was in urgent need of a victory, even a small victory to boost morale.

Seeing that the generals in the tent were silent, Lu Meng said sternly: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Today's attack is not going well mainly because the opponent has a good location. We have to find a way to lure them down the mountain. Generals, you can speak freely."

."

quiet

silence

The sound of breathing sounded in my ears.

Lü Meng looked around the crowd and found that Pan Zhang seemed to have something to say, but for some reason he did not speak. He ordered his general to ask: "If Wen Gui has any clever ideas, please feel free to enlighten him."

"General, after these few fights, I found that Lai Gong is a very rogue person. Unless he encounters an absolute advantage, he will never take the initiative. If you want to catch this fish, it is difficult to bait..." Pan Zhang shook his head.

answer.

Lu Meng looked at Pan Zhang and pinched his chin, "Cavalry has high mobility, how about we use the cavalry to do something?"

"Uh... We have 20,000 people and only have 800 cavalry. General, do you have any good ideas? As long as the beacon tower problem on the other side is not solved, we will always be under Lai Gong's surveillance." The reckless Pan Zhang suffered consecutive losses.

Then everyone became more cautious.

Lu Meng knocked on the table and said meaningfully: "Lai Gong can't hold on. If we want to capture the high ground in Jiangbei, we can only weaken the fighting power of the defenders. It will definitely not be possible during the day. We can imitate the other party and attack the camp..."

"The general also wants to use the strategy of exhausting the army?" Pan Zhang asked doubtfully.

Lu Meng asked: "Soldiers are crafty, and the strategy of exhausting the army is not Lai Gong's original idea. Now I need a cavalry general with a flexible mind. Do Wen Gui have such a general under his command?"

Pan Zhang blurted out without thinking, "Military Commander Ma Zhong is quite shrewd, and General Lu can be entrusted with important tasks."

"Go and invite him quickly. I will arrange it myself." Lu Meng was overjoyed.

"Wei." Pan Zhang stood up and walked out of the tent.

At dusk, Lantian and the generals had dinner.

Several major generals accompanied him for a walk in the hill camp. Lantian carefully looked at the surrounding geographical environment and came up with the idea of ​​building a military fortress here.

Gao Shun pointed to the beacon tower on the other side and said: "Sir, according to the flag warning on the other side, the cavalry in Jiangdong seems to be acting abnormally."

"I counted carefully in front of the formation today. There are only a few hundred cavalrymen under Lu Meng's tent. Such a small force cannot do anything big. If nothing happens, let's go outside the camp and take a look."

After saying this, Lan Tian and others rode horses to the front of the mountain. They saw Lü Meng's cavalry in small groups, running strangely not far from the hill.

How many kittens are there? Lan Tian counted thirty or fifty.

"What are they doing? Going out for a walk after eating?" Lai Gong asked in confusion.

Gan Ning frowned and reminded, "Lu Meng is not a fool, and he will never do such a useless thing."

"I'm going to lead two hundred cavalry to eat these stragglers?" Samoko tasted the sweetness of the raid last night, and now he met Lie Xinxi and volunteered.

After Shamoke finished speaking, no one spoke, and they all looked at Lan Tian, ​​waiting for his response.

Lan Tian sensed a hint of conspiracy in Lu Meng's nonsensical behavior and thought to himself, could Lu Meng be fishing for me?

"While the sky is still dark, send a signal to the observation tower opposite to ask." Lan Tian ordered.
