Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 290 This battle must be won! ! !

only……

It was night, and Li Ji was watching the stars in the pavilion as always, deducing the subsequent weather changes.

'I still lack a little east wind. Could it be that God won't help me? '

Li Ji lowered his eyes and unconsciously held the folding fan tightly in his hand, with a bit of unwillingness in his eyes.

For Li Ji, the window period for swallowing Qiu Liju and more than 70,000 Wuhuan cavalry under Jicheng in one fell swoop was also fleeting.

Jicheng could barely muster 40,000 usable soldiers. After Sun Ce returned from fetching Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun, there would be less than 20,000 more cavalry.

Before Tadun led his army to join Qiu Liju, or before Qiu Liju knew what Tadun had done and retreated, this was left for Li Ji to gather 60,000 men and ride all over the wilderness. The only window period to annihilate more than 70,000 Wuhuan cavalry.

This window period is very short.

And considering that Wuhuan under Qiu Liju had the support of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, after plundering the treasuries of Youbeiping County and Yuyang County, the army's armor rate increased significantly, which brought about an increase in combat power.

Even in a head-on confrontation, 60,000 Han infantry and cavalry are enough to defeat more than 70,000 Wuhuan cavalry, but it is undoubtedly not enough to completely annihilate more than 70,000 Wuhuan cavalry on plain terrain.

"The right time, the right place and the right people".

The people of Youzhou have exerted themselves as much as possible, and the geographical advantage of the plain makes it impossible for the Wuhuan cavalry to occupy it. The only thing Li Ji can fight for is the right time.

It's a pity that Li Ji didn't get the time he wanted for stargazing tonight.

This made Li Ji a little helpless. It felt like everything was ready, just the finishing touch, but there was just such a layer of hindrance.

Li Ji did not seek to imitate Emperor Guangwu in having meteorites fall from the sky, he only wanted an "east wind".

However, Li Ji also knew that this matter could not be rushed, and the people of Youzhou had been saved. All that was left was whether they could fully accomplish the feat and break the backbone of the Wuhuan tribe in one fell swoop.

In the following days, everything in Li Ji remained as usual. Apart from the military affairs in Jicheng, he still read books or played chess with Liu Yu in his spare time.

The only difference is that Li Ji always looks up to observe the sky above every other hour, and occasionally uses the "strategy simulator" to try to deduce.

Until, it was another night of playing chess with Liu Yu in the pavilion.

Li Ji inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the sky. His expression changed. The folding fan in his hand stopped unconsciously and he stared at the sky.

Liu Yu, who had been waiting for more than ten breaths and still hadn't seen Li Ji's move, raised his head and saw that Li Ji was looking up at the sky and wandering in the sky. He coughed lightly and said.

"Zikun, it's your turn."

When Li Ji heard this, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he picked up a white piece and dropped it on the chessboard.

"Snapped!"

This time the sound of the move was particularly crisp and powerful.

"The victory has been decided."

Immediately, Li Ji's calm and calm voice sounded.

Liu Yu was startled for a moment, then his expression changed and he exclaimed. "This move... is a wonderful chess piece. If one piece falls, I will be dead!"

Li Ji smiled humbly and then said. "I accept it, Mr. Liu, Ji suddenly remembered that there are some important things to deal with in the house, so the chess game will be here for the time being. How about it?"

Liu Yu nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay, this wonderful move has fascinated me. I need to study it quietly for a while, and then I will fight Zikun again someday."

Later, after Liu Yu recorded this chess game that he highly praised and left.

Li Ji put his hands behind his back, raised his head again and stared at the sky above, repeatedly deduced and calculated to confirm that it was correct, and said slowly.

"Heaven wants to destroy you, Wuhuan."

Three days later, at noon, it was the time Li Ji had been waiting for for a long time.

The only thing that made Li Ji regretful was that it was not late at night.

"But it doesn't matter, it's enough..."

Li Ji murmured, then frowned slightly.

So far there is no news of Sun Ce's return, and it is not known whether the cavalry led by Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun can make it in time.

Even with the help of "Tianshi", even without the cavalry led by Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun, Li Ji was confident that he could defeat Wuhuan, but the gap between defeating Wuhuan and annihilating Wuhuan was... huge.

However, "good timing" is rare, and Li Ji decided not to wait any longer, otherwise he would miss this opportunity. Who knows whether he could wait for the second critical "good timing" during the "window period".

Immediately, Li Ji wrote a military order in his own hand and asked people to go to the temporary port with the military order so that the order could be conveyed to Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun as soon as possible.

During the next two days, the weather was clear and sunny.

On the surface, Jicheng's defense strength remained unchanged, but in fact, it began to mobilize all available troops in the city to prepare for war.

By early morning on the third day, the sky was still dark, and a strong wind came from the east, blowing the ground like flying sand and rocks, and the moisture in the air could almost be clearly felt by the human body. At this moment, anyone with a little bit of life experience realizes that there will soon be an unprecedented rainstorm.

Therefore, the Wuhuan cavalry who usually wandered around Jicheng from time to time every day did not go out to monitor Jicheng, which had been silent for nearly two months. Instead, they all huddled in the camp and waited for the heavy rain. Advent.

But within Jicheng, the 40,000 coir raincoats that Li Ji secretly spent two months collecting and preparing have all been put on the 40,000 soldiers.

Liu Yu, who was sent by Li Ji to report the upcoming troops, did not rush to the school grounds until the 40,000-strong army had prepared everything, and asked with a surprised look and a bit of panic.

"Zikun, do you want to lead troops to attack the camp?"

"I'm wearing armor, so please forgive me, Commander Liu, for not being able to perform the courtesy properly."

Li Ji, who had changed from the scholar's uniform in the past, now also wore Tang Ni's silver willow leaf armor, which is light and has excellent defensive power, making the usually elegant and calm Li Ji look a little more heroic.

This silver armor was specially made by Liu Bei for Li Ji. However, Li Ji had never been on the front line in Wu County before, so this was the first time Li Ji wore this Tang Ni silver willow leaf armor outside.

Immediately, Li Ji held the sword on his waist with one hand, pointed in the direction of Wuhuan Camp outside the city with the other, and said.

"Liu Shijun, it's time to defeat Wuhuan."

"No."

Liu Yu subconsciously refused. "Since ancient times, infantry has never attacked a cavalry camp."

"What Liu Shijun said is very reasonable, but today is different from the past. There is time to help. Even if Wuhuan has countless war horses, how can he be my strong man's rival?" Li Ji said loudly, the tone revealed in his voice. It's absolute confidence.

If he were under Liu Bei's command, Li Ji would naturally not need to go to such trouble. All he had to do was propose a surprise attack on the Wuhuan camp at this moment. I'm afraid that even if Liu Bei was asked to act as the vanguard, Liu Bei would draw his sword and attack without any doubt.

But after all, Li Ji was a guest in Jicheng. Even if Liu Yu entrusted Li Ji with all military affairs, Liu Yu's nod was still needed to mobilize those Youzhou soldiers out of the city.

"Tianshi?" Liu Yu asked in confusion.

"That's right!"

Li Ji said in a deep voice.

"At this moment, black clouds were already pressing down on the city, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark, but the rain was brewing but not coming. It was not until an hour later that there was a heavy downpour. This heavy rain lasted for about an hour and a half."

"During the heavy rain, no matter how good Wuhuan's equestrian skills are, how can he use them at all when the sight is less than two feet? Furthermore, there are lightnings in this heavy rain, and the horses must be frightened and difficult to control, which makes Wuhuan Even though there are 80,000 cavalry, there are only 80,000 infantry.”

"Wuhuan is not good at foot combat, and our army has been training in the rain for two consecutive months. One and a half hours of heavy rain can determine the winner!"

This series of remarks made Liu Yu's head buzz.

And under Li Ji's explanation, Liu Yu suddenly understood why Li Ji would drill his soldiers in the rain from time to time. It was not to make the soldiers obey orders, but to prepare for rain battles.

More importantly, Li Ji judged the arrival and duration of this heavy rain in advance.

Otherwise, wait until the weather is about to rain, and then start organizing troops to prepare for a surprise attack. Not to mention whether the intensity of the rain meets the needs of disintegrating the cavalry's combat power. More importantly, it may stop raining after the troops are organized.

The huge amount of information at this moment made Liu Yu feel that his head was full, and he frowned and couldn't tell whether he should allow Li Ji to lead his troops out of the city.

And that conservative character made Liu Yu subconsciously prefer conservative choices.

Now that you have protected the people of Youzhou, why take the risk and fight to the death with Wuhuan?
However, before Liu Yu's psychological tendency completely slipped in the conservative direction, Li Ji spoke first.

"Liu Shijun, time has not waited for me, and God has not waited for anyone. I defeated Wuhuan and made Wuhuan dare not look south to Youzhou for ten years. From now on, countless people can rest and recuperate in Youzhou safely. Now, there is no room for hesitation! "

"In this battle, Ji personally went out of the city to command. I am willing to live and die with many soldiers. If I win, I will not return. I swear to kill the barbarians!"

Li Ji's hasty words shocked Liu Yu's heart.

No matter what, in Liu Yu's heart, he and Li Ji had a friendship that lasted forever. Li Ji was willing to take risks for the stability of Youzhou, which made Liu Yudun feel a little ashamed.

In the end, Liu Yu looked directly into Li Ji's confident and steady eyes, gritted his teeth, and no longer thought twice as usual, but handed it over.

"Zikun, I'll leave everything to you. If the surprise attack fails, don't be reluctant to fight. It's better to return to Jicheng quickly and plan later."

Li Ji did not answer Liu Yu. Instead, he turned towards the 40,000 soldiers who had already formed their formation, pulled out the sword from his waist, and said loudly.

"This battle can only be won!"

Li Ji has been waiting for this battle for too long and has been preparing for this battle for too long.

Under normal circumstances, with the current strength of Youzhou's troops, it would be impossible to defeat the Wuhuan cavalry head-on who had the advantage.

Only by forcing Wu Huan to divide his troops first, and then with the help of time and time, making it difficult for Wu Huan's horses to play any role, can there be a chance of victory.

"This battle must be won!!!"

What responded to Li Ji were the heroic voices of those Youyan men.

"Get out of the city, defeat the enemy, and kill Hu!" (End of this chapter)
