Chapter 618 Lou Yi’s ambition

The enemy troops are still advancing.

Lou Yi and Yu Tai also climbed to a nearby high place to observe under the protection of a large number of soldiers.

From this distance, they could clearly see all the enemy's arrangements.

"It seems that the enemy is going to destroy our catapult."

Yu Tai looked at the large cavalrymen at the gap in front with a smile.

The enemy troops haven't attacked yet, but they are waiting for them to get closer.

After all, the closer they are, the shorter the enemy's surprise range is, and the less likely it is that the soldiers on their flanks can encircle the enemy.

Lou Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Looking at the enemy's strength, there should be four to five thousand people. Even if we can't encircle them, with our superior strength, we can eat at least half of them."

Although today was just a tentative attack, they also dispatched 30,000 troops.

Moreover, 20,000 of them were cavalry.

As long as the enemy dares to rush out and destroy their catapults, they are confident that they will eat at least half of the enemy's troops, or even annihilate the enemy's entire army.

After the enemy forces try their best to destroy their six catapults, they will send six more catapults up.

He wanted to see how many lives the enemy had taken!

By the time their catapults were almost destroyed, I'm afraid the enemy troops would also have suffered heavy losses.

At that time, if we rely on the superiority of our troops to launch continuous fierce attacks, leaving the enemy with no chance to breathe, we will have a great chance to completely defeat the enemy!

While they were talking, they saw another cavalry file out of the gap on both sides of the enemy army.

A rough estimate is that the number of cavalry on both wings should be between four and five thousand.

Yu Tai was slightly surprised, then laughed, "It seems that the enemy's general is not stupid either!"

"It's really not stupid."

Lou Yi nodded and smiled, then changed the topic, "But it's not very smart."

"Oh?"

Yu Tai was very interested, "What do you mean by this?"

Lou Yi smiled, "The enemy general saw that we wanted to surround us with troops and horses from both wings, and wanted to send troops from both wings to contain our troops on both wings and reduce the pressure on the cavalry in the front! His arrangement can only be said to be It’s mediocre and can’t be said to be smart.”

Yu Tai became even more interested, "If it were His Highness, how would His Highness arrange it?"

The corners of Lou Yi's lips curled up, "General Yu, are you testing me?"

"No, no, I really want to ask for advice."

Yu Tai waved his hands repeatedly.

"Old General, I've been beaten to death!"

Lou Yi said humbly: "I do have some ideas, and I would like to ask the old general to correct me..."

With that said, Lou Yi expressed his thoughts.

If he were the enemy's general, he would concentrate the forces on both wings on one side.

In this way, they first ensure that they have an advantage along the way, and then quickly break through the enemy's army along the way, join up with the troops who attacked the catapult, and attack the enemy's formation together.

In this way, there is not only a chance to destroy the catapults, but also a chance to defeat them.

Listening to Lou Yi's plan, Yu Tai couldn't help but nod his head.

In fact, he thought so too.

"Your Highness is brilliant!"

Yu Tai glanced at Lou Yi approvingly, "It seems that Yun Zheng is indeed not in this army! Yun Zheng can defeat Bei Huan, so he shouldn't be unable to see this..."

"Yes."

Lou Yi nodded and smiled, "Although the enemy's move threatens our two wings, it also exposes their family background. This is not a bad thing for us."

Under the current situation, the enemy only sent so many cavalry to the two wings to contain the troops and horses on both wings, which means that the enemy's cavalry should be almost the same.

Otherwise, why don't they send more troops and horses to the two wings to put more pressure on their own wings, thereby forcing the troops and horses in front of them to move to the two wings, further reducing the pressure on their frontal assault army?

If the enemy only has this few cavalry, as long as they break through the frontal defense, it will be easier to fight from behind!

Under normal circumstances, their twenty catapults were divided into three waves to attract the enemy to destroy, which could consume at least six to seven thousand enemy cavalry.

If they increase their troops and press forward, they may even eat up all the enemy's cavalry!

Once this happens, the enemy's morale will inevitably be dampened.

It is possible to lose without fighting!

"really."

Yu Tai nodded in agreement, "Should we mobilize the army from behind to press forward? If we can eat all the enemy's cavalry in one fell swoop, the enemy will not be able to threaten our catapults."

"no!"

Lou Yi rejected Yu Tai's proposal without hesitation and explained: "We have too many people pressing up, so the enemy may not dare to do this..."

What he wants now is to first make the enemy pay a lot of casualties and destroy some of their catapults.

When they push the catapult up from behind, the enemy will be in trouble.

They have already paid casualties to destroy the catapults, and now more catapults are coming. Do they want to continue sending people to destroy those catapults?

If they didn't send someone to do this, their previous sacrifices would be meaningless.

And their morale will definitely take a big hit.

But if they sent people up again, they would have to pay a lot of casualties.

Even if the enemy destroyed the catapult they pushed up for the second time, there would still be catapults behind them.

Let the enemy sink in bit by bit and eat the enemy's elite cavalry bit by bit.

Moreover, although the terrain here is open, it is not easy to expand if more people come up.

Listening to Lou Yi's analysis, Yu Tai couldn't help nodding, and he admired Lou Yi even more in his heart.

I didn't expect Lou Yi to have such a long-term vision at such a young age.

He, the so-called number one general in Qiu Chi, was not as good as Lou Yi, a junior.

"Your Highness is thoughtful and far-sighted, and I admire him very much!"

Yu Tai was full of admiration and bowed to salute Lou Yi, secretly sighing in his heart, King Dayue is blessed.

If Yuanwei is like Louyi, why worry about Qiuchi settling in a corner?

Unknowingly, Yu Tai's self-identity in front of Lou Yi has changed.

"The old general has given you a reward."

Lou Yi smiled humbly, "I have no choice but to do this! If our Dayue Kingdom also has loyal and good generals like the old general, why would I have to go to the battlefield in person?"

"His Highness is joking again." Yu Tai laughed, "There are many good warriors in Da Yue, and His Highness has countless strong generals. If you pick anyone at random, he will be stronger than this old man."

Why couldn't Yu Tai understand what Lou Yi meant?

Lou Yi clearly wanted to recruit him and wanted him to switch to Dayue Kingdom.

Although he admires Lou Yi very much, he will always be from Qiu Chi.

Lou Yi really wants to recruit Yu Tai.

His ambition is great.

Not only Yu Tai, he even wanted to recruit all the generals in Qiu Chi's army.

As long as these people turn to Dayue Kingdom, Dayue Kingdom's strength will skyrocket.

At that time, the Great Moon will conquer Gui Fang in the north, capture Qiu Chi in the south, sweep Bei Huan in the east, and then dominate the entire north.

Even if Daqian devoted all his country's strength to attack them, they would not be afraid at all.

"General Yu is too modest."

Lou Yi smiled and changed the subject: "Let's just watch the battle in front of us first! I also want to know how powerful the cavalry of the Beifu Army is, and how powerful it is that it can make the Beihuan cavalry frightened."

"Yes."

Yu Tai laughed, "That's exactly what I mean!"

The two said no more and stared at the battlefield in the distance.

Their army slowly advanced, but the enemy army remained motionless.

Both of them guessed the enemy's purpose and were not in a hurry.

Their military strength is absolutely superior.

Even if the Beifu Army is more elite, even if their casualties are slightly higher than the Beifu Army, they still win!
