The terrain around Bilejik is unfamiliar to Li Lu.However, his commander of the Eastern Front, Xue Qinling, had made an envoy to Eastern Rome a few years earlier, and he had come to relax in Bilaiac, who was known as the back garden of the Roman nobles.
After discussing with Xue Qinling, Li Lu decided to brave the harsh winter to send troops, one reason was that Anatassius was stationed in Birejik, which was a golden opportunity, he could use his familiarity with the terrain to draw up a battle plan like a fish in water, lead Anatassius by the nose, and drive him into a dead end.After being confident, Li Lu felt the need to relax his emotions, so he summoned Pan Shizheng.Pan Shizheng's face was so cold that his face was blue, and his nose was dripping.When he entered Li Lu's tent, a stream of warmth rushed straight over, and a charcoal fire burned in the house, and the tongue of fire licked the copper kettle on it, and the mouth of the pot spewed fierce gas.Pan Shizheng took a greedy breath, and a strong fragrance entered his lungs.He knew that coffee was brewing in the pot.Li Lu and Xue Qinling, the commander of the Eastern Front, saw Pan Laodao coming, so they greeted him, and then Li Lu said: "Pan Daochang, the war will start tomorrow, you can predict it for me, how will the victory or defeat?"
”After Li Lu finished speaking, Xue Qinling also said with a smile, "Yes, Dao Chief, come to a hexagram.......
Pan Lao Dao thought for a while and said: "There are snowflakes floating outside the house, this is the Taishang Daozun is reporting good news to His Majesty."
Your Majesty, congratulations!
”Li Lu walked around the room excitedly, then looked at Pan Lao Dao and said, "Pan Daochang, is it true or false?"
”Pan Shizheng immediately said: "I'm afraid that the Taishang Daozun will cut off his tongue, so what I say is the truth!"
”Li Lu said: "That's good, wow, since the Taishang Daozun has already reported the good news, we must have no doubt about this battle, how about you command the battle for me tomorrow?"
”Xue Qinling on the side knew that Li Lu was joking, and also laughed........
Pan Shizheng knew that Li Lu was in a good mood and was joking, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "Ouch, I am a foolish old Taoist, how can I replace your brilliant majesty!"
”Li Lu said: "Old Daoist, you are really stupid, you don't understand what I mean, I mean if you command, how should this battle be fought."
Suppose, you get the idea!
”Pan Shizheng thought to himself, it's not that I'm stupid, it's that you're so excited that you can't understand it, and now that you say "what if", of course I know how to answer you.He said: "Your Majesty, if Poor Dao commands this battle, I plan it like this: the enemy has 80,000 people, and we have only 50,000 people who have only arrived here, so it is better not to attack head-on.We should concentrate our forces on one point, and the enemy's southern flank will be close to the Eastern Romans, and the southern flank will cut off the enemy's retreat and shake their morale. ”Li Lu said: "Oh, this move is smart, then transfer 20,000 troops to attack the southern wing!"
”Pan Shizheng said: "No, the enemy on the southern flank is very strong, and if we attack the southern flank, the enemy's main force in Bilejik will be reinforced, and we will definitely be defeated by the enemy on our backs."
So, to hit the southern flank, you must first weaken its power.How to weaken the law?
Losing a small force to feint on the northern flank of the Eastern Romans, drawing the enemy's main force of the enemy to the northern end, and then, unexpectedly, concentrated the attack on the southern flank.There are more than ten miles between the south flank and the north flank, and there are hills and rivers in between, and the road is slippery in cold weather, and it is inconvenient to walk. ”Li Lu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Daochang Pan, you are a military strategist, you can be a general, which coincides with my plan."
I want to reward you with a cup of hot coffee!
”Pan Shi was taking the hot coffee and drank it all, a stream of heat filled his body, he shivered comfortably, and said boldly: "Your Majesty, give another bad one!"
”Li Lu said: "No, your plan is not thorough, and it needs to be perfected."
In order to seize the initiative, we must first capture the Polov Heights.It is the highest terrain in the Bilegik area, and standing there, the entire combat zone is at your feet, and you can observe the movements of the Eastern Romans and look for countermeasures!
”Pan Shizheng said: "Your Majesty's chess is superior, Anatassius is miserable this time!"
”Li Lu said: "Pan Daochang, in order to wish you victory, this pot of coffee is all rewarded to you, you can drink it happily."
Beware of not bursting your belly!
”Li Lu rode on a tall black horse, dressed all over his body, and was majestic.A few snowflakes fell on his cheeks, and soon melted, and he felt that there was a fire in his heart, as long as he took the last 80,000 Eastern Roman elites led by Anatacius, the well-defended Constantinople would definitely be within reach.Li Lu reined in his horse's head and stopped on the side of the road, looking at the formation of the team.The soldiers all looked grim, and their leather boots walked silently on the frozen road.Li Lu is confident that this army that has undergone his strict training is very brave, don't look at them at the moment they are silent, once the battle starts, they will roar like lions and pounce on the enemy.However, it is easy to get tired of such silence, and this team should be allowed to roar, and let the wind carry the roar to the Eastern Roman position, and overwhelm it with momentum.He instructed the heralds: "Convey my command to the ministries that the brethren may open their throats and sing, sing, and sing the heavens and the earth!"
”The song rolled like a roaring wave along the road to Birejik, unstoppably.The song alarmed the Eastern Romans.Anatasius ordered General Lozti to lead the avant-garde troops and spread out on the road to intercept the British army.Li Lu secretly laughed at Lozti's stupidity, wouldn't it be a line to disperse the troops so that the enemy could break through.After consulting with Xue Qinling, Xue Qinling, on the orders of Li Lu, personally commanded the British cuirassiers, and attacked forward like a tornado, and the Eastern Romans soon collapsed, most of them were captured, and General Lozti was also captured.Lozti was very unconvinced, and shouted to see Li Lu, and the British soldiers escorted him to Li Lu.Lozti waved his fist and said, "Your Majesty, you have violated the rules of war!"
”Li Lu said: "General, you say be specific!"
”"Before the war begins, you should beat the drums of war, but you don't beat the drums of war, so you rush over!"
”Li Lu said: "General, there are no rules for fighting, everything is based on victory or defeat, and you can use all means for victory."
You don't understand, so you made a captive!
”It was already dawn, and Li Lu stood on the Popov Heights with his soldiers, and as far as the eye could see, he saw groups of cavalry rushing from Biledik to the north and south flanks.Apparently, Anatacius was mobilizing his troops.This is good, Li Lu doesn't need to send someone to reconnoitre, he can know every move of Anatacius.Li Lu ordered a part of the chasseurs to make a feint on the northern flank of the Eastern Romans.General Rust, the commander of the northern flank of the Eastern Romans, urgently appealed to Anatasius for help.Fearing that the northern flank would be annihilated like an avant-garde force, Anatacius immediately transferred a cavalry reserve and a cavalry unit on the southern flank to support the northern flank.The movements of these troops, Li Lu could see clearly in the telescope.The intended goal was achieved, and Li Lu decided to implement the next step of the plan and make every effort to defeat the southern flank of the Eastern Romans.He ordered the cavalry attacking the northern flank and the main forces on standby in Popov to bypass the hills and woods and outflank the southern flank of the Eastern Romans.Anatasius was surprised to see that the British were no longer attacking the northern flank.After thinking about it, he thought that it must be Li Lu who saw the reserves of the Eastern Romans and the cavalry on the southern flank reinforcing the northern flank, and thought that his troops were not enough, so he temporarily withdrew his troops.He said to the generals around him: "Thank God, the British are gone, don't go after them, in a few months, when the spring flowers bloom, we will launch another offensive and drive them out of the empire!"
”Anatacius felt tired and went back to the headquarters to rest.At noon, the main forces of the British army reached the positions of the southern flank of the Eastern Romans.Nadasti, the commander of the southern flank of the Eastern Romans, was terrified.Didn't you say that the British army retreated, why did it suddenly appear again?
He hurried to Anatascius for help, but it was too late.All the reserves in Dawe's hands were sent to the north flank.The distance from the north flank to the south flank was long, the mountain roads were rugged, and the fastest speed of the troops could only reach it in half an hour.And this hour was enough for Li Lu to wipe out the Eastern Romans on the southern flank.Li Lu commanded the troops to form a half-moon offensive formation against the Eastern Romans.The artillery first bombarded with heavy artillery fire.Taking advantage of the smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers of the two brigades launched a decisive assault on the Eastern Roman positions with rapid and dense firepower.The southern flank of the Eastern Romans was completely routed, and the mountains were full of Eastern Roman officers and soldiers who had fled.The British cavalry galloped across the battlefield, chasing and killing the enemy.In the afternoon, Anatasius rushed to the southern flank with the troops and reserves of the northern flank, joined up with the remnants of Nadasti, and tried to regroup and stabilize the position, but without success.The Eastern Romans lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions like a flock of ducks.In the evening, Li Lu commanded the cavalry to charge from three sides, and the 80,000 troops of the Eastern Romans collapsed at once, and General Rust died under the swords of the Japanese soldiers, and Anatacius and Nadas had to flee back to Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Romans.......
