Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 828 The wind rises and the clouds fly
Chapter 826: The Wind Blows and the Clouds Fly
If only 30 cavalry were dispatched, it would be absolutely impossible to wipe out the remaining [-] to [-] Kwantung Allied Forces after the fire attack.

Li Shimin knew this in his heart, but he decided to do it anyway, because he was not sure whether what awaited him was a big victory or a trap.

If it was really a trap, if all the troops were deployed, it would be tantamount to surrendering Hulao Pass to the enemy.

And if only the cavalry is dispatched to fight, even if the front is really a trap, as long as the reaction speed is fast enough, with the impact and mobility of the cavalry, they can still fight out even if they are in ambush.

It has to be said that Li Shimin was really thoughtful, and the situation after the defeat had already been counted before the war started.

The battle that is about to start is entirely Li Shimin's chance to defeat the Kwantung Allied Forces with tens of thousands of cavalry.

Although winning cannot wipe out the Kwantung Allied Forces, the outcome of this battle has already been decided.

Even if it loses, the Liang army will only lose tens of thousands of cavalry. As long as Hulao is not lost, it can still compete with the Kwantung Allied Forces.

Li Shimin resisted the temptation to completely annihilate the Kwantung Allied Forces, and also arranged all avoidable countermeasures for the unease in his heart, but the generals of the Liang army did not understand Li Shimin's approach.

From the point of view of the Liangzhou generals, there is no way to fight without taking risks. Now that the enemy can be wiped out, why not seize this opportunity with all your strength?

As for whether this was Qin Hao's design or not, it seems impossible to them. After all, as long as the fire is combined, the coalition forces will be over. Even Qin Hao's resourcefulness cannot put out the fire, so why not send out the whole army to do their best? ?

It's rare for Qin Hao to make such a big mistake. If he and others don't catch him, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
Li Shimin's conservative action of dispatching troops made the generals in Liangzhou very anxious, and they all stood up to persuade Li Shimin.

So many generals were chattering non-stop, making Li Shimin's head ache from the quarrel, and he was almost persuaded by them. Fortunately, Li Shimin was determined and kept telling himself in his heart that Qin Hao was by no means an opponent with such a simple answer. That's why I was not misled by the generals.

Seeing that Li Shimin was unmoved, the generals in Liangzhou became more anxious, and their tone of persuasion became more urgent. Finally, Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore.

"enough."

Li Shimin slapped the copy angrily, and shouted: "Shut up, general."

Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, all the generals didn't dare to say any more, they all bowed their heads and retreated.

Li Shimin glanced at the crowd coldly, and said coldly: "Although [-] cavalry are not enough to do their best, as long as this plan succeeds, the coalition forces will no longer pose a threat. At that time, I will concentrate my superior forces and wipe them all out." enemy.

Hulao Pass is the gateway to Luoyang, and it is also the lifeblood of our army. Any mistakes are absolutely not allowed. The victory or defeat of our army is still unclear, so how can we use our lifeblood to take risks?
You don't need to persuade, the general has made up his mind, and dispatching [-] cavalry for this battle is enough. "

Li Shimin directly made the decision sonorously and forcefully, but no one dared to speak out to refute. After all, Li Shimin was the biggest under Dong Zhuo in the Liang army, and no one could object to the decision he had made.

Moreover, although Li Shimin's decision is conservative, it is indeed the safest method. The only certainty is that he has not done his best. However, after the war, the balance of power between the two sides will be completely reversed, and it will only be a matter of time before the coalition forces are wiped out.

Seeing the opposition from the five people, Li Shimin was relieved, and ordered in a deep voice: "Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Bu, Houyi, Jia Fu, Wu Yunzhao, Shi Wansui, Xin Wenli, Yu Juluo, Zhang Xutuo, Yin Kaishan."

After the ten generals heard the words, they all stood up and clasped their fists in response, "The last general is here."

"Tonight, you and ten people will each lead five thousand cavalry, prepare enough fire starters such as sulfur and saltpeter, wrap the horseshoes in cotton cloth, and quietly approach the ten camps in the west of the coalition army, and carry out the plan of attacking with fire."

"No." The generals shouted in unison.

Li Shimin was still a little worried, and continued to remind him: "Remember, no matter whether the plan of attacking with fire is successful or not, after all the igniters are thrown into the camp of the coalition army, you must come to join the general, and you must not love to fight. Listen clearly Yet?"

"No." The ten generals shouted again, but a strange color flashed in the eyes of Lu Bu and Hou Yi at the same time.

Li Shimin's cautiousness exceeded their expectations. The current situation is already so obvious. Is it necessary to be so cautious?However, Qin Hao actually made such a low-level mistake, which was really beyond their expectations.

Lu Bu and Hou Yi looked at each other with profound expressions in their eyes, and then they left with everyone.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the westerly wind was blowing violently here. It was a dark and windy night, but the gate of Hulao was suddenly opened wide.

Crowds of cavalry poured out from Hulao Pass, and there was no end in sight.

After leaving the city, the cavalry was divided into ten teams, and quietly moved towards the camp of the Kwantung Allied Army.

Most of the secret sentinels set up by the coalition forces along the way were shot and killed by Liang army cavalry, only a small number fled back to report.

With [-] cavalry going out, no matter how careful they are, they will definitely not be able to hide from the coalition forces, and it is even more impossible to kill all the enemy's secret posts. After all, who knows how many secret posts the opponent has set up?

The [-] cavalry will definitely reveal their whereabouts this time, as long as they touch the surrounding area of ​​​​the camp before the coalition forces react.

Therefore, not only did the cavalry of the Liang army not change direction, but they raised their torches and rushed towards the coalition camp at a faster speed, as if ten fire dragons were wandering in a black sea.

Li Shimin also went out in person this time. After all, after the fire attack, he still had to command [-] cavalry to defeat the remaining Kwantung coalition forces in one fell swoop, and he was reluctant to give up this great achievement to others.

"Has the Kwantung Allied Forces started to mobilize?"

Li Shimin, who was riding his horse, first asked the spies who had just come to him, and this was the news he was most concerned about at this time.

"General Qi, the soldiers and horses in the Kwantung United Army camp have begun to mobilize, but there is no sign of leaving the camp on a large scale. Instead, they put on a posture of strictly guarding the camp gate."

Li Shimin frowned, and said in a low voice: "It's impossible for Qin Hao not to find out. Could it be that Qin Hao wants to use my hand to weaken the princes of the world? It shouldn't be, what good will it do him?"

There are too many unsolved mysteries, which makes Li Shimin very uneasy, but he can't take back the order after the matter has come to this point.

Even though he knew that there was an abyss ahead, Li Shimin still wanted to go to try the depth himself, but he wanted to see how Qin Hao broke the game, even if he lost, he would be convinced.

Li Shimin has already figured it out, if he really loses this time, he will take it as a lesson to let him know Qin Hao again, but this lesson may cost tens of thousands of cavalry casualties, and the price is too high for him to bear. .
