Chapter 2013 The wolf really came
When passing through this nameless river, Lu Kang had already noticed the terrain here. Although the river was not too wide and the water was not too deep, it was almost the most favorable camping site within dozens of miles in front and behind. Therefore, Lu Kang camped in the west of the river and sent Zhang Xian to serve as the patrol guard.
Even though he made such detailed arrangements, Lu Kang still seemed uneasy. He had a vague premonition that the situation was not good. Although the Wei army was not far behind him these days, they had still spent so many days safely, but can they escape this disaster tonight?
Lu Kang obviously would not have any luck mentality. In fact, this kind of luck mentality should never occur on the battlefield. Any negligence or carelessness may lead to catastrophic consequences, which is simply unbearable.
Especially in this situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, one mistake is not allowed. Perhaps an inadvertent mistake may lead to a loss in the whole game.
So Lu Kang didn't dare to be careless at all, especially tonight, when he tossed and turned, he couldn't fall asleep at all. His intuition told him that the wolf was really coming!
Lu Kang has been in the army for many years, with an extremely keen sense of military smell and rich combat experience. In addition, he was born into the Lu family, and his father Lu Xun's excellent genes made him stand at a height that no one else could reach in his life. The military books and battle strategies he read since childhood can be said to be knowledgeable and even five big cars cannot accommodate them.
Lu Xun was a famous Confucian general. He was born in a scholar. He collected all the military arts books from ancient times to the present. Lu Xun had many rare and lonely books in the world. In the Lu family, there was a library that included all kinds of books, and was breathtaking.
These books are not placed there for people to see. Lu Kang's favorite place since he was a child was the library, which read all the books and read the strengths of many families, and those books were not read in vain.
Although reading so many military books may not necessarily make you famous generals, no famous general who has become famous does not read.
Lu Kang was familiar with military books and classics, knew mountains and geography, and had extremely rich combat experience, but he was not lucky enough to get into such a mess as Wu Kingdom. Even though he was a genius, he was still a building that could not be supported by his own tree.
Although Lu Kang arranged for Zhang Xian to defend by the river, this river was just a small river, and the water was not deep, probably just the depth of ordinary people's waist-length. When the Wu army crossed this river, they wade directly. Although such water depth had some impact on the speed of the Wei army's march, it would not hinder the Wei army's crossing the river at all. Therefore, it was still quite difficult for Zhang Xian to block the attack on the Wei army here.
In order to give the main force of the Wu army an hour of retreat, Lu Kang specially drew two thousand people from the Shenwu Camp, the most powerful combat power of the Wu army, and handed them over to Zhang Xian.
Lu Kang knew very well that this would be the most critical battle. Whether the Wei army could be stopped is the key to whether the main force of the Wu army could retreat to the public security smoothly. Only by deploying the most elite troops on this line of defense can Lu Kang be at ease.
Not only that, Lu Kang also came to the position and taught Zhang Xian step by step how to set up defenses on the position, where to dig trenches, where to pile high towers, where to set up horses, and where to install roadblocks. The explanation was very detailed. After hearing this, Zhang Xian carefully recorded them one by one and arranged them according to Lu Kang's instructions.
The reason why Lu Kang explained so clearly was that he knew very well that the pursuers of the Wei army behind him were not ordinary cavalry, but the most elite iron armored cavalry camp among the Wei army.
Although the speed of the Tunqi Battalion is the slowest among all cavalry, its terrible attack power is incomparable to any cavalry. The Tunqi Battalion's cavalry is covered with armor, and even the horses are wearing horse armor. It can be said that they are armed to the teeth and have no flaws on the battlefield. Every cavalry is a moving iron tower, invincible and invincible. In the Battle of Huainan and Jianye, the Tunqi Battalion fought twice, killing the Wu army to collapse, and the conventional tactics and battle formations were simply incomparable.
Lu Kang also knew this well, so every time he sent out his descendants, he would choose to block the Wei army in a place with complex terrain and unfavorable cavalry battles. Although it could not stop the progress of the Wei army, it could more or less delay the Wei army's speed of progress. This is also the real reason why the Wei army has not been able to catch up so far.
Even in the camping place, Lu Kang would choose areas such as rivers, lakes, swamps, and other areas that can block cavalry activities, and try to make use of the geographical conditions so as to avoid being surrounded by the enemy when attacked by Wei cavalry.
In plains, once attacked by enemy cavalry, it is often very dangerous. The mobility of infantry is far inferior to that of cavalry. If the terrain is favorable, the cavalry will often use roundabout encirclement and attack methods to divide and surround the infantry into isolated pieces, and then encircle and annihilate them.
In this way of fighting, infantry had almost no room for resistance. Infantrymen who had lost their mobility were like a group of lambs to be slaughtered on the battlefield, and they were facing a group of real evil wolves.
No matter how powerful the flock is, it is impossible to be a match for the wolf. Lu Kang's careful arrangement is just to only win an hour of escape for the main force of the Wu army.
And this hour is also a bottom line in Lu Kang's heart. As for whether Zhang Xian can last for an hour, Lu Kang actually has no idea.
But this is a battle that cannot be lost. If you want to escape, you must grit your teeth and persevere in this battle.
After Lu Kang finished the arrangement, he returned to the camp. The snoring sounds were still heard in the camp. The central officer wanted to wake them up, but Lu Kang waved his hand gently, indicating that he would not disturb them.
These soldiers were too tired. Even if the battle was imminent, it would be good to give them a rest for a moment. Lu Kang ordered the Central Army officer that only after the battle with Zhang Xian started, could he beat drums and wake up the soldiers.
Because whether the Wei army will attack tonight is just Lu Kang's intuition. Due to various factors, the Wei army's pursuit may delay appear, so Lu Kang only made corresponding arrangements and did not disturb all the soldiers.
These two hours of rest are really precious to Wu Jun soldiers, and they dare not waste a breath or a moment.
The Wu Jun's camp was very quiet. Apart from a snoring, there was no other sound. But there were so many dangers hidden in this silence. I'm afraid that only the sleepless Lu Kang knew the most.
