Chapter 1153 Liu Bei applies Sulu to the cavalry
"My second brother is still invincible in the world."
When Liu Bei saw Guan Yu coming to see him with the head of a Turkic Thousand Households, he couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Bei's army led 50,000 troops to leave the Yili River Valley and advance along the Tianshan Mountains.
The military strategy department gave Liu Bei's army the goal was to capture Shuye City.
The Thunder Ye City, located in the Chu River Basin in the west of Lake Isek, has already left the scope of the Western Regions Protectorate.
This place is the birthplace of the famous poet Li Bai.
At present, the Thunder Leaf City is controlled by the Golden Family.
Liu Bei was ordered to attack the famous Shuye City, with the strategic purpose of preventing the Turkic general Sulu from cutting off the retreat of the Western Expedition Army.
Sulu, the Khan of Tuqishi, another Turkic tribe, was active in Central Asia and dependent on the Tang Dynasty at its peak. The Tang Dynasty named Sulu the General of Zuo Yulin, and used Sulu to block the "great conquest" of the expansion of the Arab Empire to the east in history. Sulu lived up to his expectations and repeatedly beat the expeditionary forces of the Arab Empire, which gave the Arabs a headache.
Later, Sulu's power grew stronger. Seeing that raising a tiger was a problem, the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to work with the Arab Empire to destroy Sulu.
In other words, more than a thousand years ago, the Tang Dynasty had a foreign policy of supporting agents and launching wars. After feeling that the agents were out of control, they were eradicated...
When he learned that the Golden Family sent Sulu to occupy Shuye City, Chu Tian ordered Liu Bei's army to compete for Shuye City and defeat Sulu to ensure the retreat.
At the same time, Saiye City is also a supply point outside the Yili River Valley. There is no teleportation array in this city, so there is no need to worry that the number of Turkic cavalry in Saiye City will increase sharply after the war begins.
Sulu defeated the troops of the Arab Empire's expeditions many times in history, causing heavy losses to the Arabs. Chu Tian considered that Liu Bei's army had enough strength to defeat Sulu, so he sent Liu Bei's army.
Guan Yu, who returned to the battlefield, couldn't wait to be the vanguard, killed the Thousand Turkic households who came to test, beheaded him, and repay Liu Bei.
Chen Xi, who served as the advisor of Liu Bei's army, spread out the topographic map of Central Asia, and moved his fingers along the flow of the Chu River: "Other legions have marched southwest along the Tianshan Mountains and will soon enter the Sir River Basin. Following the Sir River North, you can besiege the royal city of the Sir Empire. In the Tianshan Mountains, Dayuan Kingdom, and the Sir Empire, there are a large number of Turkic cavalry. We will attack Suye City as soon as possible and meet with the front legions."
After Chen Xi surrendered to Chu Tian, as a player, he still clearly distinguished the importance.
Civil war can live to the death, but foreign wars cannot cause internal strife.
If there is internal strife during foreign wars, then there will be no doubt defeat.
In particular, the opponent is the golden family that has absorbed a large number of grassland tribe leaders.
Attacking Su Lu, who was stationed in Suye City, was a test for Chu Tian to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei has not fought for five or six years. When he was feeling like he gained weight, he returned to the battlefield and felt that he was still used to fighting and killing.
A comfortable life is certainly good, but it may be very uncomfortable for these generals who are used to the battlefield.
"Sulu is a powerful enemy, good at raids, and this is also a common method used by cavalry generals."
Before Chen Xi participated in the first western expedition of the Great Xia Dynasty, as a rare player strategist, he had researched many famous generals who served for the Golden Family.
The cavalry generals can also be roughly divided, such as Huo Qubing, and generals who are good at harassing, driving, and raiding, such as Huo Qubing, as well as generals who are good at pig storming, such as Hua Xiong and the Persian royal wild boar.
Sulu belonged to the Turkish generals of the light cavalry school.
Liu Bei trusted this military advisor very much: "What does the military advisor mean? "
"If you want to attack Yecheng, you need to cross the Chu River. Sulu will most likely choose to cross half of the crossing. You can send two generals, Guan and Zhang, to lead powerful crossings and chariots across the river. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei lead the troops, you can pretend to be in chaos. When Sulu attacks, thousands of crossbows will be launched at the same time and injured them. [Biquge www.boquge.me] The army can cross the river smoothly."
"Everything is based on what the military advisor said."
Liu Bei followed Chen Xi's plan and sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead five hundred swords and axemen, one thousand Youzhou cavalry, three thousand Baili soldiers, and five thousand crossbow soldiers equipped with divine arm bows to take the lead in crossing the river, and personally led the "main force" who seemed to have a larger force, and then crossing the river.
The half-crossing tactic is very common, that is, when the enemy crosses the river, launching a charge and eliminating the enemy's troops crossing the river, it will prevent the enemy from leveraging its military strength. Or, when crossing the river, it will be unprepared and difficult to arrange a formation, and it can kill and injure the opponent's troops in large quantities.
Sun Ce, Yang Youji, was in Beijiang, and then defeated the Dayue army that crossed the river from Wanjiejin.
However, there are times when the half-cross strike fails.
The most interesting thing is the Battle of Feishui. In order to achieve a half-crossing, Fu Jian ordered the army to retreat, allowing Xie Xuan's Northern Prefecture Army to cross the Feishui and attempt to attack half-crossing. As a result, once the Former Qin army retreated, it was completely out of control. Xie Xuan took advantage of the situation to chase and defeat Fu Jian.
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led his troops across the river, the Turkic cavalry sent by Sulu to investigate had already spread the news that Liu Bei's army was crossing the river to Sulu who was ambushing nearby.
"The Golden Family promised me that as long as I defend the Thunder Ye City, I will be the Khan in the Central Asian River. The Thunder Ye City will become the royal city of the Tuqi Shi Khan Kingdom."
As a general of Central Asian civilization, Sulu also had his own ambitions.
In fact, most of the main military generals who served for the Golden Family were ambitious heroes, Yelu Dashi, Timur, Mahmoud, and Sulu. These people all wanted to establish their own kingdoms and have absolute power.
"General, when will we launch an attack?"
"When the Xia army had 20,000 or 30,000 people crossed the river... No, 10,000 people crossed the river, we launched an attack."
Su Lu originally planned to attack halfway, but thought the Xia army was too dangerous, so he ate 10,000 Liu Bei's army first, severely injured Liu Bei, and forced him to retreat.
The task given to him by Ogedei of the Golden Family is only to defend the city of Sailye and threaten the Xia army's retreat.
After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei crossed the river, they did not arrange scouts, and hundreds of cavalrymen pretended to be distracted, attracting the attention of the Turkic cavalry, and deploying chariots in the rear.
Liao Hua and Zhou Cang were all playing in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's army at this time.
Chen Dao, the chief general of the Baili army, led three thousand Baili soldiers. The main weapon of the Baili army was a spear, which could be arranged into a long spear formation.
When Liu Bei's army successively crossed the river, on the horizon, the Turkic cavalry indeed arrived and used the half-crossing tactic!
Once the tactics are successful, it is a special event on the battlefield, which will lead to a decline in the morale of Liu Bei's legion.
"Well come, I've been itchy for a long time!"
Zhang Fei hasn't been in battle for a long time and wants to lead the soldiers of the Pig Turks.
Guan Yu stopped Zhang Fei: "It is said that there are 100,000 Turkic cavalry in Suiye City, so we should follow the orders of the military advisor."
"Welcome to the enemy!"
