Huan Fan did not hide his clumsiness. He slightly twirled the short strands of beard under his chin, chuckled and said: "The general is eager to find a decisive battle with the Huns, and the Huns don't want to find an opportunity to defeat our army. Now.

What Liu Yue is afraid of is our cavalry. If the general transfers the Yueqi battalion and the Tunqi battalion to other places and leaves only three infantry battalions, he will be able to lure the snake out of the hole. As long as the three infantry battalions can hold on for a period of time, the Yueqi battalion will wait for the Yueqi battalion.

After returning with reinforcements from the cavalry camp, we will be able to defeat the Huns."

Cao Liang was really eager to find a decisive battle with the Huns at this moment. After a quick battle, he could march to Bingzhou. And Liu Yue must have been looking for opportunities to take revenge day and night since the tragic defeat in Pingyang. After all, this is his home field and he controls the geographical terrain.

Advantage, Liu Yue is naturally eager for revenge.

But the reason why he didn't dare to take action was that he was afraid of the power of the Wei army's cavalry. The Battle of Pingyang really hurt Liu Yue. Facing such a powerful cavalry, it was too late for him to retreat now, so how could he take the initiative?

Get into trouble with this.

But Liu Yue was a traitor. He lurked in the dark, watching every move of the Wei army, waiting for a suitable opportunity. As soon as this opportunity came, Liu Yue would definitely take the initiative to attack without hesitation and avenge his previous shame.

In fact, Liu Yue was waiting for the opportunity for the Wei army to divide its troops. Since the Wei army marched westward, they have been gathering together and hugging tightly. According to common sense in the art of war, such a formation is indeed impeccable. Under normal circumstances, Cao Liang

Adopting such a formation is completely necessary and is the most correct way to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks.

But in this way, Liu Yue did not dare to act rashly. He knew that the Wei army's cavalry was powerful, but he threw himself into a trap. Wouldn't it be like a fool?

Therefore, Huan Fan boldly proposed the strategy of luring the snake out of its hole, separating the cavalry battalion from the infantry battalion, deliberately exposing flaws to lure Liu Yue to attack, and then the Wei army's cavalry returned to support, cooperating inside and outside, and defeated the Xiongnu soldiers.

It’s not that Cao Liang has never thought about this idea, but there is a huge risk here, that is, how far away the cavalry and infantry should be. If they are too close, Liu Yue may not take the bait, but if they are too far away

, once the infantry is besieged by the Huns, and the cavalry is too late to rush to the rescue, with the current combat effectiveness of the infantry, it will be difficult to withstand the attack of the Huns cavalry, and then it will really be a waste of money.

After all, the three infantry battalions are composed of new soldiers plus the old four battalions. In such a short period of time, the integration of the troops has been initially completed. However, due to the weak foundation, the combat effectiveness is completely unflattering. I am afraid that it is even half of the ordinary Wei army field army.

The combat power is not even reached.

Cao Liang really didn't have much confidence in letting such a new army face the impact of the Huns' cavalry.

Therefore, Cao Liang has always deliberately adopted the method of cavalry and infantry grouping together to cover each other when arranging troops.

But in this case, as Huan Fan said, the Wei army was not in any danger, but the Huns were hiding in the ravine and could not come out. If they were delayed like this, it would be a big mistake.

Cao Liang told Huan Fan his thoughts and expressed his concerns.

Huan Fan smiled brightly and said: "In battle, there are nine out of ten things that are certain. As long as you are 50% sure, it is worth a try. This time, only by winning in danger can you win a quick victory. It is true that the combat effectiveness of infantry is low, but if you rely on

If the terrain is favorable, it may not be defeated by the Huns cavalry."

As he spoke, Huan Fan took out a roll of maps from nowhere like a magic trick, spread them out on several tables, and said to Cao Liang: "General, please look, there is a village thirty miles south from here, named Xiliulin.

The terrain is higher and can be a place for garrisoning troops. In addition, there are two highways in the north and south, connecting Beiqu and Puzi. The general can send the Yue cavalry camp north to Puzi, and the garrison camp south to Beiqu, both in Baiqu.

Inside and outside, if the Huns come to besiege, the general can use the smoke as a signal, and the two battalions of cavalry will rush to the rescue quickly, and they will cooperate inside and outside to attack the Huns in the West Liulin."

In the Puzi Beiqu area, there are not without dangerous peaks or passes, but if the Wei army is stationed in these places, it will be difficult to lure the Huns out of the cave. Therefore, the choice of where the infantry is stationed is very knowledgeable, both

You can't choose the dangerous high ground or the low-lying flat land. The former is too difficult for cavalry to attack and the Huns will definitely not take the bait. The latter is not conducive to infantry defense and it is difficult to withstand the impact of the Huns' cavalry.

Huan Fan placed the Wei infantry in Xiliu Forest because the terrain of Xiliu Forest was high or low. On the one hand, the Wei infantry could build an effective defensive position, and on the other hand, it also gave the Huns a certain amount of offensive power.

opportunity, in this way, the certainty of luring the snake out will be greater.

There is a main road in the north and south of Xiliulin, which is more convenient for the cavalry to rush to the rescue quickly.

Cao Liang nodded slightly. It seemed that Huan Fan had considered things carefully. Choosing to garrison troops in Xiliulin undoubtedly gave the Huns an opportunity. As for whether Liu Yue would take the bait, it depends on Liu Yue's own decision.

.

This opportunity must have been extremely tempting to Liu Yue. Although Xiliu Forest was good for infantry defense, its effect was limited. If the Huns' cavalry was strong enough, they could easily defeat Xiliu Forest.

Cao Liang quickly agreed to Huan Fan's strategy. This was probably the only way to lure the Huns out. Although the infantry unit of the Northern Army would be under great pressure in this draw, wealth and wealth could be found in danger.

, if you want to win the battle, you must make sacrifices.

What's more, this battle will also be a test for the Third Infantry Battalion. They urgently need to grow up in the battle. After all, there is not much time left for them. After entering Bingzhou, the enemies they face will only become more difficult.

Strong, if the 3rd Infantry Battalion always lives under the wings of the Cavalry Battalion, then they will not be able to become a real army after all.

Previously, Cao Liang arranged for the Yueqi Battalion to protect the Third Infantry Battalion, which was only a stopgap measure. He would eventually let the Third Infantry Battalion experience and grow in battle, but perhaps because of this encirclement and suppression of the southern Huns, Cao Liang had to

This training plan has been advanced.

Next, Cao Liang and Huan Fan discussed the specific details of the battle. The most important thing was the appropriate distance between the Yueqi battalion and the Tun cavalry and the troops in Xiliulin.

If you get too close, it will definitely not work. The Huns will ambush the cavalry camp not far away. It will be a trap at first sight, and they will definitely not go into the trap.
