Chapter 13: Method to break the Iron Pagoda, the plan begins Yu Ke was not idle either. While it's still early, I found some drawings and wrote down some of my ideas. He wrote on paper Iron Pagoda. He was not well versed in military tactics, but he was a history enthusiast in his previous life. There has been research on this ancient pinnacle of cold weapons. Those heavily armored knights and the cripple horses spread out on both wings like a torrent of steel, unstoppable. These are heavy cavalry with defenses to the teeth. This type of heavy cavalry has excellent defense, with every three horses connected by iron chains, making them invincible when charging into battle.
However! The disadvantages are also obvious. The horse is under heavy burden. Once the rider falls off the horse, he is like a bird without wings, unable to move. Yu Ke combined the knowledge from his previous life. Broke the horse's leg! This is a very good idea. After all, the horse's legs will not be covered by armor, otherwise the horse will not be able to run. The generals in this simulated world are not fools, and Yu Ke also feels the reality of this world. The materials before him also recorded some battles, including strategies such as clever tactics and poisoning. The method of breaking a horse's legs has long been developed. Some people use heavy axes, Mo Dao, etc. The effect is good, all thanks to the terrain. It works once, but it won’t work if you do it too many times. Today, outside Hulao Pass is a vast plain. The two armies lined up in an upright manner. Yu Ke wrote in black and white on the paper, and three words appeared clearly on the paper. Three Life Formation! As the name suggests, this formation is "to be deployed in a circular formation as the front, and then to attack from both wings on the left and right", and it is named the Sansheng Formation. The tactics were ingenious. They first attacked with the crooked cavalry on both wings to find out the enemy's weak points, then "spread both wings" to attack fiercely, and finally used the strong and sharp iron floats to directly attack the enemy's core, forcing the enemy to be defeated. This tactic may seem simple, but it actually reflects profound knowledge of military tactics. The fact that large armies are facing each other and deploying troops in battle formations and being able to use such brilliant tactics shows how powerful they are. The reason why Beifeng Xuan Kingdom is invincible and unstoppable. It is because they have used the "Three Lives Formation" to perfection and made it impeccable. In many large-scale battles, soldiers did not all die at the hands of enemy swords. More often, they died because of chaotic formations and trampling on each other, like lambs to be slaughtered.
Yu Ke pondered for a moment and combined his old memories. He wrote slowly on the paper: "Distribute the soldiers to fight in the field, in groups of ten to fifteen, arranged like stars." This sentence did not come from him, but from a great master of military strategy in the previous life. On the battlefield, the heavy cavalry attacked the infantry formation like a flood and a beast, intending to break up its formation. Once the infantry formation is broken up, the battle is over. Since it is impossible to repel the "Iron Pagoda" with a complete formation, why not break it up into smaller pieces and attack them separately? Only by playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses can you have a chance of winning. According to ancient records, there were armies that "assembled at the sound of drums and dispersed at the sound of gongs." Sometimes they worked in small groups, and sometimes they fought in large groups, which was very flexible and changeable. When the "Iron Pagoda" rushed into the battlefield, it was surrounded by scattered soldiers. Cut off their horse's legs, and then destroy the enemy cavalry! He wrote on the paper again with absolute certainty. "Fight to the death!" Breaking a horse's leg means the beginning of a fight to the death. In the face of the amazing fighting power and strong endurance of the Northern Xuan Kingdom, it is difficult to achieve victory. Just be determined to die! This is a battle of morale, a critical moment to test the will of an army and the ability of a general. In ancient times, there was a heroic feat of using 800 warriors to defeat 10,000 enemies, which was achieved by relying on firm beliefs and high morale. The commander-in-chief sits in the center and directs the entire army. Only when the general goes to the battlefield in person and is not afraid of life or death can he boost morale and stimulate the potential of the soldiers. As soon as Yu Ke finished writing these words, his father Lu Jiaxuan watched silently at the side, his eyes revealing seriousness and deep thought. His eyes became brighter and brighter, as if touched by these words, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. at this time! Lu Yu was ready. He walked into the tent and reported to his father, "Father, everything has been arranged." At this moment, Lu Jiaxuan's eyes lingered on Lu Chen's paper for a long time, the handwriting on it was not yet dry. "'Distribute the soldiers to fight in the field, fifteen by fifteen, like stars in a row.'" "Fight to the death." He recited softly, with a hint of shock in his eyes. Lu Jiaxuan, a general who is proficient in military tactics and has been on many battlefields, is well aware of the huge difference between talking about war on paper and actual combat. When he read Lu Chen's strategy carefully, he was deeply shocked. Although some ideas seem immature, the overall approach is extremely practical and feasible. He picked up the paper excitedly, gently blew dry the ink on it, and put it away carefully. The more he read, the more he felt that this was not something that could be easily written by a young boy. This was clearly written by a general who had experienced many battles and had fought against the Beifeng Xuan Kingdom for many years.
It wasn't until Lu Yu's urging voice sounded that he came back to his senses. Under the flickering candlelight, Lu Jiaxuan gazed at the calm young man who rolled up his sleeves and put down his pen, and an indescribable sense of pride surged in his heart. He laughed loud and cheerfully: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the son of my Lu family!" According to the plan made before, it was a foggy morning. Two thousand Lu family soldiers followed Lu Yu and quietly left the city. Lu Chen and Lu Jiaxuan were ready to pick them up afterwards. The city gate slowly opened and the river bridge was lowered, as if to lure someone into a trap. Yu Ke thought it would be great if someone could play the piano on the city gate. Then the whole plan will work. Yu Ke stood on his horse, looking at the tent camps in the distance outside the west gate, then turned to look at the white-haired Lu Jiaxuan beside him, and prayed silently in his heart: Hope everything goes well. …… …… Beifeng Xuan Kingdom, inside the military tent. Tuoba Shuyi was alone, and after dismissing his attendants, he quietly flipped through the military book in his hand. Unlike his other royal brothers, he went south to fight without his beautiful wife and concubines. He drank and had fun, traveling along the way. After he entered the military camp, he strictly disciplined himself, stayed away from women, and even stopped drinking alcohol, always keeping his mind clear and sharp. The bed he slept on was no different from that of an ordinary soldier. We eat and live together, nothing special. The military book in his hand is a very famous work on military strategy in the history of Daqing Kingdom. Although Daqing Kingdom no longer has the glory of the past, it is like fish on the chopping board. Tuoba Shuyi knew this well and learned from it. "Know thyself, ever-victorious." At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, accompanied by a loud announcement: "Report! Military intelligence has arrived from the west of Hulao Pass." Tuoba Shuyi slowly raised his head, his eyes sharp as an eagle, and asked in a deep voice: "They dare to leave the city?" Tuoba Shuyi couldn't help but wonder, was it the defenders in Hulao Pass or the rebel army that dared to leave the city? He quickly denied this possibility because, in his opinion, the defenders and rebels in Hulao Pass had been frightened by them and would not have the courage to take the initiative to attack. The Lu family army in the west of the city? Tuoba Shuyi knew about the existence of the Lu family army. Although there were only 4000 people, their fighting power should not be underestimated.
However, he did not take General Lu Jiaxuan seriously. A mediocre talent. Lu Jiaxuan is only capable of maintaining the status quo, but lacks the ability to take proactive measures, making it difficult for him to become a real threat. "Lu's Army..." Tuoba Shuyi muttered to himself, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. In this way, the Lu family army is nothing to worry about. "Report!" "The west gate of Hulao Pass is wide open." Tuoba Shuyi couldn't help but stand up "What? The city gate is wide open!" (End of this chapter)
