Daqin Engineers

Chapter 39

In other words, Li Mu is really scheming.

This technique not only used Sun Tzu's strategy of "turning the tiger away from the mountain", but also used the "information warfare", "psychological warfare" and "special warfare" commonly used in modern warfare, plus a series of tactics.

Needless to say, tune the tiger away from the mountain, the Great Wall, which was already under-strength, was stupefied by the 7,000 main force.

Information warfare is the use of a fake spy to send half-truth information.

Psychological warfare is to grasp Yang Ting's eagerness to save his father, and then jump down when he sees the pit.

The special warfare is a sneak attack from behind the enemy disguised as the Qin army...Special warfare has actually existed since ancient times, and it is only defined in modern times.

As for the serial count.

Shen Bing believed that it was true that Li Muqin led more than a thousand cavalry to take down Matoushan.

It's just that Matoushan is not Li Mu's real goal, it is just bait.

Even Li Mu himself was a bait, baiting Yang Ting, a newborn calf who did not know the heights of the sky, to leave the city.

Only Dao can take advantage of Li Mu's military strength to win a battle before being assembled in place...

So Li Mu's greatness is not actually the art of war, nor is it kung fu.

It's the scheming, the scheming to find out the enemy's psychology and then set a trap with it.

It's just that Li Mu did not count Shen Bing in the end.

Shen Bing didn't realize this was a trick at the beginning.

But Zhao Jun, who accidentally discovered the disguise, opened a breakthrough.

However, despite this, there is not much difference.

Because Li Mu had already deployed spies along the way, the big movement just now naturally couldn't escape the spies' eyes.

So a ringing arrow...

Li Mu, who was in ambush in the dense forest, saw an accident in the heart of Xiangjian.

This means that his plan has been seen through by the enemy.

Li Mu frowned.

It's not hard to guess, it must be a problem with the team disguised as wounded soldiers.

But Li Mu thought about it a few times and didn't know what went wrong.

This time Li Mu sent to attack the Great Wall, or it could be said to be internal response. There is a reason why the force is only five hundred instead of one thousand or more.

Li Mu knew that Qin Jun's inspection was very strict.

Therefore, after every victory, Li Mu ordered his subordinates to carefully collect the "experiences" carried by the soldiers of the Qin army.

Then go to the army to select them based on the appearance and height described in the "experiment".

Therefore, Zhao Jun, who has only 500 people, can withstand the inspection, and even part of the wound is genuine...

Zhao Jun will also be injured in battle, and he can also cause some skin injuries.

These have reached the point where they can be faked.

However, even this still has a problem, and even the Great Wall hasn't arrived...

This makes Li Mu a little unimaginable.

How could he think that the problem was with the cavalry.

Li Mu's troops bypassing Yang Duanhe over the mountains and ridges directly attacked his side, so they were mostly cavalry.

The selection of camouflage soldiers must naturally be selected from cavalry.

However, none of this matters.

Now that the enemy sees through, there is only a strong attack.

Thinking of Li Mu waved forward, many soldiers stood up suddenly in the seemingly empty dense forest behind him.

Then a group of cavalry rushed out of the dense forest, divided into two groups on the left and right, and concealed in the direction where the arrow came.

Qin Jun has raised a round flag amidst the sound of drums, and sent the soldiers to yell out:

"Circle, circle!"

Formation was indispensable for cold weapon combat in ancient times.

The reason is that the battlefield forces of cold weapons are generally very large, with thousands or even hundreds of thousands at every turn.

The contradiction is that the communication equipment is extremely backward and cannot smoothly communicate with each other.

In this case, it is obviously very difficult for so many people to know and stand in their place in a short time.

So there is a formation.

The soldiers listened to the drums, listened to the commands, looked at the flags, and then proceeded in an orderly manner according to the usual exercises.

This is the difference between an elite division and a mob.

Elite divisions can use the fastest speed to prepare for battle in a critical moment.

The mobs often have no formation, and they run around like headless flies when they are about to fight.

The Qin Jun was certainly not a mob, and they quickly formed a formation amidst the drumbeats.

Yang Ting deserves to be a veteran, so the round formation is just right.

Because it is not difficult to imagine that the army led by Li Mu must be mostly cavalry.

At the same time, the surrounding terrain is flat for cavalry to intersperse.

Therefore, any formation is very easy for the cavalry to find the flaw and take advantage of it.

There is only a round formation, which lays out a circle around the outside to prevent the cavalry from attacking.

Then came the more defensive infantry, and then the bowmen.

The trebuchets and cavalry that needed protection were placed in the middle.

In this way, it is difficult for the enemy to attack the formation from any direction.

It will not only be blocked by horse-drawn carriages, baggage and infantry, but also be suppressed by crossbows and catapults.

If necessary, the round formation will open a mouth, and the cavalry in the formation will attack along the mouth.

However, Shen Bing was not so optimistic.

If Li Mu were so stupid to use cavalry to rush into the infantry formation, he would have been killed several times by Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, etc.

Will Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe be inferior to Yang Ting?

On the other hand, Li Mu's goal is the Great Wall!

Great Wall!Great Wall... Great Wall!

Although Shen Bing had repeatedly confessed, Yang Ting still did not figure out the point.

The Great Wall has only three thousand people, and Li Mu's army can bypass these seven thousand people and attack the Great Wall directly.

At that time, these seven thousand people will be cut off and become rootless.

So you have a hairy formation?

Run away!

Don't run away and wait for death?

However, Shen Bing is only a soldier, and Yang Ting is always in charge of the army.

Therefore, Shen Bing could only arrange the catapult in a circle on the middle floor with the artillery.

In the center is piled up all kinds of fire bombs ready to launch.

This is the characteristic of the circle array.

Just like a crossbowman, in order for the catapult to cope with the attacks of the enemy riders in all directions, it must be placed in a circle.

Shen Bing was unwilling to give in. He looked at the surrounding terrain and shouted after more than ten steps:

"Master, I should put the trebuchet on two wings."

Follow the dissatisfied response:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"The formation set by the school lieutenant, how can it be changed by changing it?"

"Are you afraid that your life is too long?"

Xun's theory also makes sense. This formation is a military order, and changing the formation without authorization is tantamount to disobeying the military order.

And it was a capital crime to disobey the military order during the war.

but……

Shen Bing's helpless answer:

"The disciples are also talking about life and death matters."

"If this is not the case, I and the whole army will die by Li Mu's hands."

"Even General Yang's trapped 70,000 army will not be spared..."

Follow the faith and doubt.

If you follow in the past, you definitely don't believe it, you don't even bother to respond.

but now.

After Shen Bing Great Wall retreated from the enemy, after Shen Bing burned Zhao Ying, and after he saw Zhao Jun’s disguise...

Xun already knew that this apprentice was not very human.

If Shen Bing is right, there are two options:

First, he obeyed the order and was killed by Li Mu.

The second is to adjust the formation privately...

Obviously you should choose the latter, even if you risk defying military orders.

Because it has hope at least.

In fact, only Xun was hesitating. Cang, Tun, Yan and the artillery all believed in Shen Bing for the first time, and they all looked at Xun with expectant eyes.
