Chapter 345
"Tell Dong Zhuo if you don't?" Liu Tao knew that Dong Zhuo had a problem, but had to ask.
"According to the lord's wishes, we have told General Dong that we have launched a night attack in the past few days. When we come back, they seem to have begun to go out to war." Huang Zhong replied, "It seems that he is planning to meet with us and attack together."
"The official road is so narrow, what can we do when we meet together? Do we hold each other back?" Liu Tao complained.
Just say that the official road less than one kilometer is next to the Jing River, with soldiers, horses, food and grass being squeezed on it. When moving forward, they had to form a long team, and there were very few soldiers who could join the front line to charge.
Linjing County is also a real sense of easy defense and difficult attack. It is very difficult for officers and soldiers to fight from the south. Therefore, it makes sense that they chose to hold on to the army in Linjing County.
Just say that he would attack Linjing County this time, so that the other party could not help but go south. If he wanted to join forces, then this camp would not dare to say that it would last for a hundred miles, and it would still last for several miles. If he was attacked in turn and wanted to retreat, Dong Zhuo would panic with his tens of thousands of troops and horses, and he would block the way for retreat.
Liu Tao, a cavalryman, had to face the pursuers of the thieves personally, and the key cavalry's advantages could not be exerted. How could he fight?
"Not this, Dong Zhuo seems to have only brought cavalry..." Huang Zhong added, "the number is around 3,000."
"Oh...so..." Liu Tao nodded. If it was just a cavalry, it would be a little understandable. Think about it, it was just a harassment. There was no need to dispatch the entire army, leaving some people to ambush in the rear, or the support was good.
I don’t know if the most famous Feixiong Army in Dong Zhuo’s history was formed. Is this elite force brought out this time... Slowly, isn’t the Feixiong Army led by Li Jue?!
That Li Jue and Li Junhou didn't know if they were in this team, but unfortunately they didn't know him under his command.
After all, Liu Ge was almost killed because of Li Junhou's recklessness before. If it was intentional at the beginning, and Li Junhou was actually Dong Zhuo's person, then Dong Zhuo would definitely have to pay the price.
To put it another way, no matter how stupid Dong Zhuo is, he will definitely not dare to let Li Jue appear in front of others in the short term. After understanding this, Liu Tao no longer struggled with this issue.
In the next two days, Liu Tao was observing the situation of the enemy camp. From the next day, the entire enemy camp began to strengthen its defenses on the east and west sides. It was probably because Dong Zhuo's people did not encounter his own troops, so they suspected that they were attacking from the west.
There are many methods, such as finding a mountain road to the west of Linjing County. Otherwise, passing through the Jing River in advance and then going around from the back to the west of Linjing County, there are actually many methods. Compared with the east, the space on the west is larger and more suitable for cavalry charges.
"Are we going to fight from the west?" Liu Tao sneered. The thief obviously received the information, so he strengthened the defenses on both sides... To be precise, the defense on the surface was obviously relaxed, but the internal one was ready for a surprise attack at any time.
He simply set up a trap and waited for him to get into the trap. But I guess the thief didn't expect that he had no intention of going from east to west. As for the north and south sides, relying on the cover of mountains and the Jinghe River, the thief did not set up too many defenses, which became a blind spot for their defense.
What the thief did not expect was that during this period, Liu Tao had to investigate the situation in his camp clearly.
"Call everyone here and prepare to work!" Liu Tao gave instructions, and soon all the generals came over.
"The thief has relaxed the defenses on both sides of the east and west on the surface, but in fact he is ambushing and waiting for us to get into the trap." Seeing that everyone had come, Liu Tao expressed the result of his "observation". It is not just about relying on the "wind dragon's insight" and relying on the height of the mountains to observe the situation of the enemy camp from a high place. It is actually very easy.
So Sun Jian didn't even doubt this at all, especially during this period, Liu Tao kept sending spies to the edge of the cliff to observe the situation of the enemy camp. If any changes occurred in the enemy camp were made, they would come back to report as soon as possible.
"A brief explanation..." Liu Tao pointed to the map on the table. This was drawn by him based on the situation there. The layout of the entire camp, material reserves, and even the location of the thief's head were clearly marked.
"Dong Zhuo thought we were going to harass, and the thieves on the other side thought we were just harassing, so we didn't harass, we attacked the camp directly!" Liu Tao pointed out the route. This was not the road to go out, but the mountain road that the idle soldiers in the army have expanded on the basis of another mountain road in the past few days.
Thousands of people are idle, and it is not easy to expand a road? It is about ten miles away from the camp and leads directly to the side of the enemy camp, rather than leading to the west of Linjing as the original road.
"My plan is to attack the enemy camp from here, with the goal of letting the horses there go around the other side's horses. At the same time, another target is the enemy camp here. I have noticed that it should be the leaders of Yi Conghu, Huangzhong." Liu Tao briefly introduced.
Perhaps there are more plains to the west, which are suitable for cavalry combat, so the thieves arranged all the cavalry here.
Unfortunately, Linjing County was finally defeated, so the supplies were stored in the city. It was very difficult to break in and burn them all, unless you find a way to sneak in and set a fire and leave.
If he had those a hundred special forces, then maybe he would have done that.
At this stage, what is suitable for doing is mainly what is good at doing, and only Yang Shoo is afraid to let him take risks. Of course, he has also trained fifty sharpshooters. In Liu Tao's opinion, he trained according to the specifications of special forces, but his level is not yet good.
Mainly in terms of night vision ability, Yang She moved calmly at night like daytime, and even had better vision than daytime. But he couldn't understand why such a "high-end" talent was unknown at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Also, why is such a talent willing to be his personal commander? He has refused several times when he has the opportunity to be promoted. He said that he is low-key, but he is not as low-key as he is.
Perhaps everyone understood, Liu Tao continued, "Then they fought out from the west. In the first half of the camp, their defense was the worst, which just gave us a chance to break through. Then after they came out from here, they could return from the mountain road in the west... If they dared to chase them, then we could naturally kill them and shoot them back!"
On the mountain road, Liu Tao made all the wooden stakes he had cut into logs. If the other party dared to come up, he could put all the logs down in one breath, and he could kill hundreds or thousands of thieves.
In the future, relying on the terrain of the mountains, Huang Zhong's crossbowman, and Yan Liang's riding archer can completely suppress the thieves.
"This is my opinion. If you have any comments or additions, you can speak actively!" Liu Tao looked at everyone.
"Maybe you can bring the ignition trap and torches with you. This way, a fire-burning camp can kill the thieves to a greater extent! As for whether Dong Zhuo will fight during the day, or whether he will take the opportunity to fight, it depends on his intention..." Guo Jia added.
If he is so in chaos, Dong Zhuo plans to stop his military achievements.
