The next day, Hu Dahai's vanguard went to White Point Pass.
Lin Yi led 15,000 troops out of the camp and headed straight for the left wing camp.
Lin Yi was certain that after Wu Chengen led the army to take down White Point Pass, he would definitely check the terrain and mountain range of this area.
He definitely wasn't in the central camp at this time. The left wing army or White Point Pass were the places where Wu Chengen was most likely to appear.
"You bastards of the Wu Dynasty, do you dare to come down and take your grandfather's blade?”
"Scumbags, come out and accept your death! Let grandpa try to cut it twice!"
……
Liu Hanshan provoked and cursed for more than an hour, but Wu Dynasty's camp did not hang up a pass or send troops.
His throat was smoking from cursing. Liu Hanshan returned to the camp dejectedly and ordered his subordinates to continue cursing while he gulped down a basin of water.
"General, this isn't a big deal. We've challenged Wu Dynasty's army and they didn't even come out.”
Lin Yi glared at Liu Hanshan.
"You can't hold it in anymore?"
"Aiyo, my lord general, I have a bad temper. This is the first battle I've submitted to you. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I fought too badly?”
Lin Yi asked him to sit down and said,
"There's only one reason why the Left Camp is holding fast.”
"Oh?"
Liu Hanshan leaned his horse face over.
"What is the reason? Quickly tell me."
Lin Yi pointed at the sand table and said,
"General Che Ji has sent troops from all directions, and Wu Chengen is under great pressure. The Left Wing Camp is holding fast, which can only mean that Wu Chengen is still at White Point Pass and hasn't returned.”
"Then…will the five thousand elite soldiers that we sent out be eaten by Wu Chengen?”
Liu Hanshan asked nervously.
"That's why I told Hu Dahai and the others to be careful. If they can't take down the White Point Pass after a few charges, they should retreat immediately.”
"Then…General, what's the use of us cursing in this camp for so long if they don't come out? Do you have any missions for me?"
Lin Yi quietly said to Liu Hanshan,
"I claimed to have 15,000 men, but I only brought 12,000. 3,000 cavalrymen have already gone to receive them.”
"General, why did you arrange this?"
Lin Yi said,
"I want to predict Wu Chengen's way of using troops. I've read the military reports of this person's previous battles and am studying his way of using troops.”
In reality, there was an ambush behind Lin Yi's diversion.
It was the 3,000 cavalrymen that had been sent out!
Was Wu Chengen prepared to attack Han steadily this time, or was he extremely eager to win?
There was a particular point to this.
If Wu Chengen fought steadily and steadily, Lin Yi would know that they had come prepared this time and had sufficient rations.
In that case, surprise attacks, robbing of food, and finding ways to wear down the opponent, then finding an opportunity to turn the tables, this was the best way to fight.
However, if Wu Chengen led the army to pursue and kill all the way, the further he chased, the more it showed that the Wu Dynasty army was desperate for victory.
This meant that the entire Wu Dynasty was very anxious. The Martial Emperor did not give Wu Chengen much time, and there was a limit to his patience with Wu Chengen.
At this time, he had to use the "drag" formula to fight a slow-paced battle of attrition. Then, he would catch the enemy's weakness by surprise and break it!
Exactly how Wu Chengen made his decision was the key to Lin Yi's probing.
On the other hand, Hu Dahai and the others were about to reach White Point Pass.
The hundred feet high pass between the two mountains was really easy to defend and hard to attack.
After two consecutive attacks, the soldiers were so furious that their eyes went red. They had lost four to five hundred people. The enemy had prepared rolling wood and stones on the pass, easily dissolving their attacks.
When Wu Chengen seized this pass, he had led 10,000 troops to attack for a day. Lin Yi guessed that Wu Chengen wanted to leave at least 2,000 people to guard Black Water Pass.
Adding on the soldiers who died in the battle, he should only have one or two thousand more soldiers than Hu Dahai and Li Wenxun.
This was the reason why Lin Yi only sent 5,000 people.
Wu Chengen's military strength was only slightly more than Hu Dahai's. Would you eat this piece of fat meat?
Even if they wanted to eat, the difference in strength between the two sides was not too great. Lin Yi's soldiers would not suffer too much, and Lin Yi could use this opportunity to get what he wanted.
Before White Point Pass,
Hu Dahai and the others could not take it down after a long time, so they did not delay and immediately retreated.
Right at this moment, Wu Chengen only left a thousand soldiers to guard the pass and charged out together!
Hu Dahai and the others followed Lin Yi's orders and slipped away.
After Wu Chengen chased for more than 20 miles, he had already caught up with Hu Dahai and the others. The soldiers under Wu Chengen were all full of killing intent. They could slaughter cities every time they fought. Their hearts were as hard as iron and they were not afraid of death.
Lin Yi had just added more than 10,000 people under him. Everyone was unfamiliar with each other, and they were fighting. If they really fought, they would definitely have more casualties than the other party!
Just as Wu Chengen was about to intercept Hu Dahai, Li Wenxun, and the rest's retreat and fight head-on,
Suddenly, the 3,000 cavalrymen sent by Lin Yi arrived!
Wu Chengen knew that he had few cavalry and was afraid that he would not be able to hold on, so he used the cavalry to cover the rear and let the soldiers retreat first.
After Lin Yi's cavalry killed three to four hundred people, they retreated to White Point Pass and became cowards, never coming out of seclusion again.
Not long after, the scouts came to report the situation at the front line. Hu Dahai and Li Wenxun also withdrew their troops and returned to camp.
No one answered Lin Yi's challenge in front of the formation, so he wanted to shoot Wu Chengen to death by surprise.
If his archery technique, which could shoot 170 steps, killed a tooth guard or deputy general, it would be a waste.
He had to catch Wu Chengen off guard and kill him with an arrow when he stepped out!
This person was the commander of the three armies of the Wu Dynasty. Killing one Wu Chengen was much more useful than killing thirty deputy generals and tooth guards!
Lin Yi could only lead the army back to the camp.
In the middle army tent, Lin Yi presided over the meeting and said,
" Wu Chengen has been pursuing for more than 20 miles. This is a huge risk. In this case, Wu Chengen is eager to win. In addition, the Martial Emperor has directly sent 50,000 troops, and the Wu Dynasty has gathered 120,000 troops to attack the Han Dynasty. They should be really anxious.”
"Then may I ask General, what should we do?”
"That's right. What brilliant plan does the general have?"
Lin Yi said,
" This time, I found out that Wu Chengen risked his life in battle and often rushed to the front line. He is unpredictable and unpredictable. I have already thought of a plan to defeat him, but in order to win, I need to test him again and try to be safe.”
"General, do you have any plans to defeat the enemy?”
Lin Yi waved his hand and smiled.
"How can I say this? If we reveal it now, it won't work."
The generals were confused. At this moment, Lin Yi ordered,
"Send out all the troops to rob Wu Chengen's left camp tonight!”
Lin Yi had just given the order when the few deputy generals, including the deputy general, knelt on the ground.
He advised,
"General, the enemy has thirty thousand men on the left flank. If we attack our camp and mobilize our entire army, won't our rations and equipment be taken by the Wu Dynasty army?”
"That's right, if the other side also had twenty thousand people, we could still rob the camp with our entire army, but the other side has thirty thousand people. Even if we ambush them in the middle of the night, we won't be able to gain any advantage!”
However, Lin Yi said,
"Don't worry, according to Wu Chengen's military habits, in order to prevent the loss of White Point Pass, he will definitely mobilize reinforcements from the nearest left camp.”
Lin Yi deduced,
" If I were Wu Chengen, I would send another 5,000 men to defend White Point Pass and another 1,500 men to reinforce Black Water Pass. These two fortresses are the most advantageous for attacking Yan Han, so we can't afford to lose them. Wu Chengen would definitely set up an ambush himself, and the army would be hiding in the tent. When we go to raid the camp, they would suddenly attack and surround us. He wouldn't have any other troops to raid the camp.”
"General, are you sure that Wu Chengen will do this?”
Lin Yi nodded.
"That's true."
Seeing that they did not believe him, Lin Yi continued,
" Today, I sent three thousand cavalrymen to save Hu Dahai. I have already exposed my love for surprise attacks and ambushes. As long as you are a mature general, you will be prepared for the next few nights to prevent people like me from robbing the camp.”
"Then…General, we clearly know that the other party has set up an ambush, but why are we still going into the pocket?”
Lin Yi nodded.
"We might not necessarily lose even if we hide in our pockets. It's time to fight head-on. We have to test the combat strength of Wu Chengen's army, especially their ability to adapt when they are attacked at night.”
The few deputy generals didn't understand.
It was already past midnight. Lin Yi had gathered his troops and arrived at the left-wing army's tent by dawn.
"Go!"
The first general led two groups of men to go up in the dark, while the archers secretly dealt with the enemy sentries.
"Kill!"
More than ten thousand people suddenly charged into the enemy camp, cutting down the horse barricade and tearing down the camp gate.
Hu Dahai and the others rushed to the front and were busy setting fire to the tents.
However…
When they headed straight for the main tent, Hu Dahai was shocked."
"No one! Wu Dynasty's left wing camp was filled with scarecrows!”
"Quick, we've been tricked! Retreat quickly…Retreat quickly…"
"Clang!"
The crisp sound of a wooden clap rang out in the dark night. Suddenly, countless torches gathered from all directions. Hu Dahai and the others were surrounded.
A large number of Wu Dynasty soldiers suddenly charged out, and Hu Dahai and the others immediately encountered a bloody battle!
"Hahaha, Lin Yi kid, I expected you to come here to rob the camp. I was right!”
In the dark night, it was impossible to see how many people there were.
Among Hu Dahai's soldiers, although there was one person in white armor, it was not Lin Yi.
There was a fierce battle in the military camp. White knives entered and red knives were drawn.
Hu Dahai immediately felt how terrifying this army was. The enemy soldiers charged forward bravely as if they did not care about their lives.
Hu Dahai immediately suffered heavy casualties and hurriedly retreated.
However, the entrance of the camp had been blocked, and their path was cut off!
When Lin Yi sent Hu Dahai to attack the camp, he did not tell him that he had a backup plan.
Hu Dahai was extremely sorrowful. He thought that he was going to die in this chaotic army.
Suddenly, the rest of Lin Yi's army charged over. Nearly ten thousand people surrounded the camp and attacked the thousands of people who were blocking Hu Dahai's retreat.
Taking advantage of the number advantage, Lin Yi's army successfully killed thousands of enemies. At this moment, Hu Dahai charged out of the camp and led the remaining soldiers to escape…
After returning to the military tent, he counted the casualties.
Hu Dahai had lost nearly a thousand men during the night raid.
However, Lin Yi had left a backup plan. The infantry that Wu Chengen had surrounded the camp was also killed by Lin Yi.
At this point in the battle, the probing was over.
Lin Yi came to the conclusion that Wu Chengen was a first-rate soldier and a second-rate strategist. He liked to take things by surprise and take risks. He was good at leading troops to attack the enemy's weak points.
Lin Yi gathered his generals. A battle tactic that revolved around Wu Chengen had already been brewed…
