Chapter 408 Flaws

Did Liu Bian rely on his strong force and dared to go deeper alone after only three hundred people to confront tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry?

If it were someone else, He Lian might have laughed it off, which was tantamount to suicide. 3w. But he Lian was not surprised at all. A few months ago, Liu Bian had defeated the Linghu Tribe and Murong Feng's army one after another, and finally slashed the legendary figure Murong Feng on the grassland surrounded by tens of thousands of troops.

Why can't he do it again?

He Lian did not dare to neglect and immediately retreated to the camp and ordered the entire army to be on guard.

Lu Ri's deduction did not agree. "More than 300 riders scared you like this, so what else can you talk about ambushing Liu Bian? There are three thousand elite riders around him."

He Lian patiently explained: Ambush is different from frontal combat. Ambush is a tactic that is beneficial to us on the battlefield we choose. However, frontal combat is different. Wandering on the grassland can happen suddenly at any time. The terrain is equal to both sides, and it is impossible to choose tactics that are beneficial to us in advance. At this time, strength is the decisive factor. Especially in encountering encounters, when encountering god-level generals like Liu Bian, it is difficult for anyone to make the most effective response in a short period of time.

The formation adjustment of tens of thousands of troops cannot be as maneuverable and flexible as one person.

The Ruri Deduction is not that he does not understand these principles, but he just feels that he is too afraid of Liu Bian and is a little unreliable. After excluding his intentions, he also finds it very difficult. In terms of military use, he is not as many as Murong Feng, and in terms of strength, the cavalry here is not as good as the elite troops summoned by Murong Feng. Since Liu Bian can kill Murong Feng at the last minute, why can't he kill Dalu Ri Deduction?

If he hadn't had this concern, why would he have to listen to He Lian setting up an ambush in Jiluo Mountain? He would go directly to Danhan Mountain and force Liu Bian to fight to the final battle.

"So, we're going to lose?"

"Not that." Seeing Luri's deduction calmed down, he felt relieved with Lian. "I carefully asked the soldiers participating in the war, understood the process at that time, and discovered a characteristic: Liu Bian was not as strong as we thought."

Luri Deduced's eyes lit up. "Oh?"

"Liu Bian's strength has surpassed Lu Bu and Xu Huang and other god-level generals, which is beyond doubt. However, god-level generals cannot fight ten thousand with one. Looking at his two battles with the Linghu Tribe and the battle at Yushuibian, his real strength is probably against one thousand with one, or even less than one thousand."

He Lian explained his analysis to Lu Ri for deduction. Although he did not experience the battlefield personally, he accepted the remnants of Murong Feng and Yan Liyou. He learned about the situation at that time and learned no less information from it than those who experienced the battlefield personally. After careful analysis and repeated weighing, he determined that Liu Bian's true strength was between 500 and 1,000 people. In other words, facing enemies below a thousand people, he could escape unstoppable. If more than a thousand people were there, he would be unable to do so.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, these thousand people can cooperate tacitly and not give him the chance to attack. With more people, his strength will certainly be stronger, but his flexibility will also be greatly reduced. Faced with a terrifying opponent like Liu Bian, any flaw may be fatal.

Therefore, choosing an ambush, performing multiple exercises in advance on the terrain you have chosen to ensure that it is impeccable at that time, will become the best choice.

Lu Ri deduced that He Lian's meaning was understood. He ambushed Liu Bian on Jiluo Mountain and could not act rashly.

"Then why do you believe that Liu Bian will come?"

"So we need a bait, a bait with portions." He Lian smiled silently: "Dong Zhuo is a suitable bait."

...

Dong Zhuo suddenly found that the harassing Xianbei people disappeared, and the Hongri tribe that had been in dispersed seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and the shadow of the Xianbei people could not be seen within thirty miles.

There will be evil when something goes wrong. Dong Zhuo, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, knows this well, but he has not stopped. He has been wasting too much time. If he cannot speed up and arrives at Jiluoshan within the designated time, he will be in a dilemma.

Dong Zhuo ordered to accelerate his advance and sent a large number of scouts to try to contact Liu Bian. On the vast grassland, he didn't know where Liu Bian was, so he could only use this most primitive method.

These scouts are real warriors. They know that once they go deep into the grassland, they will be surrounded by Xianbei people. Whether they can live and find the trace of the emperor is sometimes only by luck. Even if they are familiar with the grassland, even if they can escape from the Xianbei people, they may not be able to complete the task.

But they refused to accept the order and immediately rushed out of the camp.

Tian Jinjiang is one of them.

In that great battle last year, Tian Jinjiang failed to become the emperor's subordinate as he wished, but he was not discouraged. He led more than a thousand heroes who had just stepped on the horse and followed the emperor's army, robbed and killed the lonely Xianbei people all the way, and finally encountered Ke Zui's army. They returned in a defeat, with only more than 200 people left to return to Sene. However, their deeds aroused the interest of the Grand Marshal Dong Zhuo. He successfully joined the border army led by Dong Zhuo. Because of his familiarity with the grassland, he became a scout.

Unfortunately, after that war, the grassland calmed down, and there was no war, and he never had the opportunity to be promoted. This time he went out with Dong Zhuo and would fight side by side with the emperor, which was very excited.

With his familiarity with the grassland and some rules he found during the battle last year, Tian Jinjiang ventured to rush toward the vicinity of Jiluo Mountain after leaving the camp. He knew that there were several valleys in the northeast, water sources, and good pastures, which could hide thousands of troops, and the most likely to become the hidden place for the emperor.

He met the Xianbei people without surprise.

Ten cavalry scouts suddenly appeared around him on war horses. Tian Jinjiang fought and left, killed two Xianbei people, and was also cut by the Xianbei people twice and shot an arrow. He bandaged him randomly, did not dare to stay for a long time, and kept his breath and continued to run wildly. Although his martial arts were good, in the face of this situation, he had no chance of winning and could only escape.

The Xianbei people pursued them relentlessly.

Tian Jinjiang fled for a day and a night, was caught up by the Xianbei people several times, and then fought desperately. He was covered in bruises and his eyes were dark. He didn't know how far he could go, nor did he know if he was going in the right direction, but he just kept riding a horse with one breath.

In the brilliant morning glow, he heard a sharp roar, a sharp roar when a sharp arrow broke through the air.

He subconsciously lowered his head, hugged the horse's neck, and shrank his body into a ball as much as possible. His shield had been lost, so he could only use this method to avoid being shot by the other party's arrow. Once he was caught, he would be caught by the Xianbei people and would be unable to escape after some torture.

The moment he lowered his head, he saw the air not far away twisting. Then, he heard the sound of someone falling behind him. He turned his head and happened to see a Xianbei man closest to him falling down from the horse's back. He held a bow in his hand, and the arrow that had already been placed on the string flew where it was.

Before Tian Jinjiang could understand, two sharp roars suddenly sounded, and two Xianbei people were dismissed.

Dozens of cavalry rushed over from all directions, surrounding Tian Jinjiang and the Xianbei people behind him, just like the Xianbei people surrounding Tian Jinjiang. However, these knights were wearing the unique black armor of the Han army. Under the black armor was a black battle robe. On their left chest, there was a round pattern, half black and half white.

It was the Han army! Tian Jinjiang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly slid off the horse's back.

Liu Bian came over, looked at Tian Jinjiang, and suddenly said "Huh": "I know you, you are the Bingzhou hero who wants to join the army."

"Your Majesty..." Tian Jinjiang smiled. This trip was worth it. Unexpectedly, the emperor who had only met one last year still remembered him.

Liu Bian turned over and dismounted, helped Tian Jinjiang up, and a ray of true energy injected into his heart veins and quickly checked his injuries. Although Tian Jinjiang's injuries were severe, they were all skin injuries. The armor beside him protected his vital points well.

"You have become stronger after not seeing each other for a year." Liu Bian smiled while asking someone to bandage Tian Jinjiang, "Why did you run in this direction? Did you try your luck or discovered something?"

"I am familiar with the terrain here, and I guess your Majesty may be hiding here."

Liu Bian's eyes flashed, and he turned around and said to Xun Yu: "Since I, Han people, can guess that I might be here, and Helian should be able to guess why he hasn't come yet?"

Xun Yu was meditating and silent. He was not familiar with Helian at all, and knew very little about the geography on the grassland, so he could not analyze it. When Tian Jinjiang saw it, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I may know."

Liu Bian couldn't help laughing. This man from Bingzhou was really straightforward. He thought I really didn't know? However, he still smiled and nodded: "Then tell me, what's going on."

"He Lian is intimidated by Your Majesty's powerful strength, so he should wait for his leisure to ambush Your Majesty." Tian Jinjiang said impatiently: "He is familiar with Ji Luoshan, and can arrange it calmly and wait for Your Majesty to enter the trap. Taiwei Dong is just a bait he arranged."

Liu Bian and Xun Yu looked at each other and smiled at each other. Liu Bian looked at Tian Jinjiang with satisfaction: "Yes, he is a person who is willing to use his brain. Then tell me, why did I keep holding my troops and watch Taiwei Dong advance into Jiluo Mountain?"

Tian Jinjiang was speechless, stunned for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "I understand that General Yang... is the first knife that stabbed the Xianbei people. It is better to cut off the weeds than to stop the boiling water. Especially when fighting against the Xianbei people, intuition is more important than knowledge."

Liu Bian sighed with emotion and said to Xun Yu: "Look, sometimes it does not necessarily require much Confucianism to use troops. You can also train famous generals on the battlefield." He said to Tian Jinjiang again: "Carry your wounds quickly and come to my dragon cavalry."
