Great Military Division

Chapter 304 The trapped camp ushered in the first battle, how does the incomplete front and arrow array show its power?
Zhang Miao had to admit it.

Yan Xiang's analysis is indeed very reasonable.

At the same time, he understood better why Yan Xiang would say such a thing before the battle.

Indeed, their purpose was to win the battle, but in this way, they would have to lead their troops back to Chenliu. Leaving aside the consumption of food and grass on the way back and forth, it would also be a kind of damage to the morale of the army.

Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang took their own feelings into consideration.

at this point.

Zhang Miao knew it well.

Since the other party gave him the greatest respect, Zhang Miao should also respect him.

He twisted his short beard under his jaw with one hand, frowned slightly, and thought for a long time.

"Brother Lulu!"

Zhang Miao turned his head to look at Yuan Shu, and said softly, "I think Zixiang's best strategy is, firstly, too risky, and secondly, it's a waste of time, and it's easy to expose flaws, but Cao Cao took the initiative."

"As for the next move."

Zhang Miao paused for a moment, and gave his own opinion: "It is indeed easy to expose our intentions and give Cao Cao enough time to react, so the gain outweighs the gain."

Yuan Shu bowed: "So Brother Meng Zhuo's opinion is"

Zhang Miao nodded and said affirmatively: "If I have to make a choice, then I will choose the middle strategy, neither rush nor slow, the safest, we each send a general, from the two directions of Yan County and Yanling, tentatively attack."

"it is good."

Yuan Shu readily agreed.

Although, such a result was not what Yan Xiang wanted, but after all, a change was made to provide higher security for Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao's allied forces.

"Where is Zhang Xun?"

At that moment, Yuan Shu did not hesitate, and his eyes fell on the side of the soldiers.

"The end is here."

A burly man took a step forward and cupped his fists.

Yuan Shu gave an order: "Lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters, rush to help Zhaoling, and take charge of the battle there. There must be no mistakes."

Zhang Xun nodded: "My lord, don't worry, the final general will live up to his expectations."

Immediately.

Zhang Miao turned his head and looked at the queue: "Where is Wu Hao?"

Wu Hao flashed out: "The end is here."

"You lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, rush to help Fugou, and take charge of the battle there. You must try to find out the truth of the thieves, and there must be no mistakes."

"Here."

Wu Hao and Zhang Xun all turned around and went out of the tent, leading their own troops and preparing to return.

Yuan Shu cupped his hands towards Zhang Miao: "Brother Meng Zhuo, since the military affairs have been arranged, let's have a good drink tonight, and we should clean up the dust for you."

Zhang Miao smiled lightly and bowed his hands in return: "Since that's the case, then I will be disrespectful."

*****
at the same time.

Yingchuan, Xinji.

Cao's army camp.

"It's interesting!"

Cao Cao's small eyes shone brightly, and he was not angry at all. Instead, he looked expectant: "I didn't expect Yuan Shu to notice it. It's really unexpected."

Cao Jun's scouts naturally discovered that two soldiers and horses had left in Zhang Yuan's army, and immediately thought that the other party might have seen through his deployment.

"Yes!"

Even Cheng Li, the adviser, couldn't help being a little surprised: "Yuan Shu may not have this ability, but Yan Xiang under his command is indeed not easy to deal with, and it is somewhat difficult to hide it from him."

Cao Cao snorted coldly: "It is indeed not easy to hide from him, but he was able to persuade Yuan Shu, which is somewhat beyond my expectation."

In Cao Cao's eyes, Yan Xiang was indeed resourceful and resourceful, but Yuan Shu, as his lord, was an out-and-out mediocre lord. Not necessarily anymore.

Cao Cao was most worried about Yuan Shu's change this time, if it was just this time, he would be fine, but if Yuan Shu obeyed Yan Xiangyan in the future, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.

"no!"

Cao Cao thought for a long time, and said coldly: "We must let Yan County and Yanling play the main force, and make Yuan Shu deeply realize that Yan Xiang's judgment was wrong, otherwise Yuan Shu will be even more difficult to deal with in the future."

"Makes sense."

Cheng Li nodded approvingly: "But general, we don't have many soldiers in Yan County and Yanling, and the troops stationed in the field have insufficient combat experience, so I'm afraid they won't be able to show the momentum of the main force."

"But if we send Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to lead troops to help, it will definitely weaken Xinji's strength. When the other party's tens of thousands of troops attack Xinji, I'm afraid we will be passive."

Cao Cao didn't realize this.

He frowned and pondered for a long time.

Never thought of a proper solution.

"what?"

Suddenly, Cheng Li beside him seemed to think of something.

He turned his head and glanced at Cao Cao: "General, all the soldiers and horses of the trapped camp have been in place recently. I have personally visited their garrison. They are indeed elite. If the trapped camp divides troops to support them, they may be able to display the momentum of the main force."

"Catch camp?"

Cao Cao naturally knew that it was Gao Shun's army, and knew that it was an elite army that the imperial court focused on building.

But
Cao Cao also had his own worries: "Even if he has an elite army, he only has 800 people. Don't forget that Yuan Shu had thousands of soldiers in Zhaoling. Now he has sent people to support him. The total force may not be enough." Less than seven or 8000 people."

"What's more, if you go out to the camp, you have to divide your troops to go to Yanling and Yan County. In other words, they only have 400 people on each route. 8000 people want to defeat [-] or [-] people, and they have to fight like a thousand troops."

"Zhongde."

Cao Cao frowned: "Do you think it's possible?"

Cheng Li said with absolute certainty: "Maybe!"

"Oh?"

Cao Cao was puzzled: "How can you be so sure?"

Cheng Li clasped his hands: "General, just by trapping in the camp, it is natural that the momentum of a thousand troops cannot be achieved, but if it is combined with the momentum of the garrison army, the effect will be different."

hiss-!
Cao Cao immediately understood Cheng Li's thoughts: "Hurry up! Pass the trap to Gao Shun."

The soldiers in the tent cupped their hands: "here."

Immediately.

Turn around and go out of the account, and order the messenger to pass the order.

Not long after, Gao Shun, who was trapped in the camp, quickly walked into the tent, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The last general Gao Shun, I pay my respects to General Cao."

Cao Cao waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be too polite, and he didn't talk nonsense right now, and went straight to the point: "Shi Xun, I called you here today because I have an important combat mission with you."

"According to the latest information, Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao respectively dispatched troops to Zhaoling and Fugou, intending to attack Yingchuan from Yanxian County and Yanling."

"But the main force of our army is stationed in Xinji. Only Lejin and Cao Hong are stationed in Yan County and Yanling. The rest of the troops are all field soldiers with no combat experience. If they attack by force, they will definitely be exposed."

"I've discussed it."

Cao Cao said very solemnly: "I want to send people to divide the troops into two groups to support Yan County and Yanling, cooperate with the army in the city, and play the main force. I wonder if the general is willing?"

Gao Shun didn't rush to agree, but cupped his hands and asked, "General, do you know the direction of Zhaoling and Fugou, and how many troops are there on each side?"

Cao Cao didn't dare to hide anything, and replied honestly: "There are about seven to eight thousand people, or even more."

"Then how many people are there in our army in the direction of Yan County and Yanling?"

"Five hundred main troops, two thousand garrison troops."

"The general can agree."

Gao Shun bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said sonorously, "But I have a request."

Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised and asked anxiously, "What is the request?"

"It's easy!"

Gao Shun didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "The command power must be handed over to me. The soldiers and horses in the direction of Yanling and Yan County must fully cooperate with our army in combat."

"can!"

Cao Cao agreed without hesitation: "This is no problem. This general will personally write an order to you. Le Jin and Cao Hong will fully cooperate. You can rest assured about this."

"That being the case, when will we leave?"

"The sooner the better."

"it is good."

Gao Shun didn't procrastinate at all: "At the end of the day, I will go back to the camp and make arrangements, and try to get out of the camp and set off before noon."

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Happy! I wish the general a victory in the first battle and a complete victory!"

Gao Shun cupped his hands: "In that case, I will retire."

Immediately.

Suddenly turned around and left the big tent.

Looking at the back of Gao Shun leaving, Cheng Li couldn't help being curious: "General, why don't you ask Shi Xun how he plans to play the main force in this battle?"

"Don't ask."

Cao Cao smiled, as if he had more confidence than Gao Shun himself: "Didn't you see Shi Xun's eyes? He didn't pay attention to Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao's soldiers at all."

"This"

Cheng Li marveled at Cao Cao's insight, and nodded slowly: "It seems to be true. With four hundred soldiers and horses facing thousands of people, Shi Xun didn't have the slightest bit of shock on his face. Instead, his expression was normal and he didn't care."

"That's right!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, full of anticipation: "I really want to see how strong the army that the imperial court spends a lot of money on can have?"

Cheng Li nodded and nodded: "It's the same with me."

Cao Cao returned to his seat and took a pen and paper: "Zhongde, I'll write the military order, and you send someone to Gao Shun to the camp as soon as possible, so don't delay his march."

Cheng Li cupped his hands: "Don't worry, general, this matter is urgent, how can I delay it."

*****
Let's say that Gao Shun left the Chinese army and went straight to his own camp.

After returning, he immediately summoned all the major armies under his command to discuss the affairs of state.

"That's the way it is."

Gao Shun briefly explained a few sentences, and then went straight to the topic: "Our combat mission is to divide our troops into two groups and rush to rescue Yanling and Yan County. Later, General Cao will send someone to send military orders. At that time, the whole army will cooperate with us. Complete this task."

"I think so."

Gao Shun immediately conceived a strategy in his mind: "I will personally lead 300 people to help Yan County, and Hao Junhou will lead 500 people to help Yanling."

"In this battle, I am trapped in the camp and need to take the lead, take the initiative to attack, and penetrate the depths of the enemy's army in the shortest possible time, while the garrison army in the city is responsible for creating momentum, beating drums to cheer, waving flags and shouting, and the main force in the city is waving troops to cover up and kill."

"It must be broken with one blow, and there must be no half-hearted hesitation. Remember that we are trapped in the camp, and charging into the battle is our specialty. This battle will teach the world that I am famous in the battle!"

All the soldiers clasped their hands together and said sonorously, "Here."

Since the establishment of the army in the camp, they have trained hard and become elites.

And all the time, I am no longer looking forward to making contributions and proving my strength to the court.

This battle is their battle to raise their prestige and fame!
"That's it."

Gao Shun glanced at the generals, and said loudly: "Everyone go back to prepare, load the armor and weapons into the car, and set off first. After the military order is received, the army will catch up."

All the soldiers cupped their hands again: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the tent.

However, Junhou Hao Zhao stayed behind, and after the generals left, he leaned forward and said, "General, do you really want the last general to lead five hundred elites to Yanling alone?"

"kindness."

Gao Shun was very sure: "Why, don't you dare?"

Hao Zhao did hesitate: "I don't know what to do. After all, the last general has never been half a step away from the general before."

Gao Shun patted Hao Zhao's shoulder: "People always have to take this step. You can't always follow my orders to fight, so you will never be able to become a commander."

"But."

Before Hao Zhao could speak, Gao Shun interrupted directly: "It's nothing! You were brought out by me personally. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you still have to believe in me. I have great confidence in you!"

Originally, Hao Zhao was still hesitating, but when he saw Gao Shun's firm gaze, his heart suddenly calmed down:
"kindness!"

Hao Zhao nodded heavily, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Don't worry, general, the final general will live up to his expectations."

Gao Shun smiled lightly: "Go back and get ready, don't delay the schedule."

Hao Zhao: "Here."

The trapped camp immediately enters a state of combat readiness.

The weapons and armors were counted, and they were the first to load the vehicles and set off.

In order to ensure a long march.

The Huotou army buried the pot to make rice, so that all the soldiers had a full meal.

The groom changed the fodder for the horses, gave them a full meal, and filled the cloth bags with horse food for the march.

As soon as noon arrived, the army set out immediately.

Although the soldiers in the camp were infantry, they all marched on horseback.

Hurry up.

Arrived at Yanling at noon the next day.

Holding the military order in his hand, Le Jin's eyeballs rolled up and down, and he understood it immediately.

He looked up at Gao Shun, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses General Gao brought this time?"

Gao Shun didn't hide it: "Three hundred!"

"three hundred?"

Le Jin stared like a bell.

He couldn't believe his ears: "Only 300 people?"

Gao Shun nodded: "Although our army is only three hundred, all of them are elites. One can stand up to ten, and with the assistance of generals, it will be easy to defeat Yuan's soldiers in Zhaoling."

Le Jin just felt that Gao Shun was taking it for granted, and said with a sneer, "General, maybe you don't know the situation of Yuan Jun in Zhaoling. They spread banners widely and thought they were suspicious soldiers, but the actual number of troops may not be less than three to five thousand. .”

"If you add the incoming reinforcements, the total strength will definitely not be less than seven or eight thousand, or even tens of thousands. Even if you and I add up, there will only be 8000 people, and if the Tuntian Army is added, there will be at most 800 people."

"Show the momentum of a thousand troops?"

Speaking of this, Le Jin shook his head and asked, "Do you think this is possible?"

Gao Shun said with great certainty: "Follow my command, of course."

Le Jin did not object: "The general has an order, and I, Le Jin, will naturally help, but we have to agree in advance how to act and how to cooperate, right?"

"It's simple."

Gao Shun was too lazy to talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "The battle is divided into three parts, the first is to encircle the formation; the second is to conceal the killing; the third is to create momentum! This general is in charge of the formation, and General Le is in charge of concealing the killing, summoning drummers and civilians to act as sergeants and wave the flag."

"Falled?"

Le Jin naturally understood Gao Shun's strategic intentions.

Have to admit.

It is indeed very simple.

However, Le Jin scoffed at this first step in the battle: "Excuse me for being rude, the general only has three hundred elites, even if he is good at fighting, how can he be an opponent of nearly ten thousand soldiers."

Gao Shun is full of confidence: "No matter how much you say, it's nonsense. I don't want to say more. In short, the general just waits. If I fall into the camp and break the offensive of the thieves, I will quickly deploy my army to cover up the attack, so as not to delay the opportunity of the battle."

"it is good."

Le Jin nodded: "Yes, no problem! But we have agreed in advance, if the general can't break the opponent's offensive, I, Le Jin, have no ability to go out of the city to rescue."

Gao Shun said awe-inspiringly, "Do you know what the slogan of my camp is?"

Le Jin frowned: "What?"

Gao Shun sonorously said: "The momentum of the charge, there is no retreat, there is the ambition to fall into the formation, there is death but no life! Unless all our troops die in battle, the pace of breaking the formation will never stop!"

Say it.

An awe-inspiring momentum surged.

Le Jin, who had been somewhat disdainful before, was intimidated by Gao Shun's aura at this moment, and couldn't help becoming solemn:

"I hope to fall into the camp, worthy of the name."

Gao Shun proudly responded sonorously:
"Don't worry, General."

"Come on."

Le Jin greeted.

"General."

There are guards in the account.

"Prepare the food and drinks quickly, and clean up the dust for the brothers who are trapped in the camp."

"Here."

In the evening of the same day, the equipment of the trapped camp arrived in Yan County.

Gao Shun sent people to make an accurate count, and ordered all the soldiers to rest well and recharge their batteries.

The next day, early morning.

The rooster announces the dawn, and the sky is full of dawn.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The dull and rapid sound of beating drums resounded through the city.

Yan County entered the state of combat readiness as quickly as possible.

On the top of the city, Le Jin looked up.

but see
The black soldiers and horses are like waves.

Le Jin's heart trembled.

Judging from the scale alone, the opponent's strength is probably not less than 8000.

If the feint attacking teams from the east and the west are added, the total strength may not be less than 1.

"Have Gao Shun arrived in the camp?"

Le Jin couldn't help becoming nervous, and tried to ask.

"It's in place."

The soldiers beside him clasped their hands.

"Oh?"

Le Jin was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly turned back to the inner city and looked down.

Sure enough, three hundred fine armors had already lined up.

They wear iron helmets and iron armor, hold double-arc shields on the left, and hold the first sword on the right. The cold iron armor surrounds them with only their faces and eyes exposed, like a humanoid castle. Pestle, murderous, palpitating.

"Sure enough, it is well equipped."

Le Jin was filled with envy and emotion.

But
He still turned down the city, found Gao Shun, and confirmed again: "General, there are probably no less than [-] soldiers and horses outside. Even if you are well-equipped, it may not be so easy to break the formation."

"There is no need for the general to worry about that."

Gao Shun was extremely firm in his heart, and his eyes flashed with the arrogance of "there is no enemy but no self": "Your Majesty gathers the best of the army and builds a team like this. It is not for us to retreat when we face difficulties."

"On the contrary, you, general, should follow what I reminded you yesterday, and be prepared to cover up and kill the drummers and people who are building momentum. If you miss the opportunity to fight, be careful with military law."

"Row!"

Le Jin nodded helplessly: "You guys are amazing too! I want to see how you, with just 300 people, can be the opponent of thousands of troops outside the city."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
At this moment, there was a rhythmic beating of drums outside the city.

Le Jin frowned suddenly: "Good guy, he started attacking the city without saying hello, and the opponent's attack is really fierce!"

"kill-!"

"Come on—!"

"Kill Cao Thief!"

"."

In the next second, the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded.

Le Jin asked for the last time: "General, are you sure you want to fight?"

Gao Shun replied sonorously: "Fight!"

"it is good!"

Le Jin admired him from the bottom of his heart, cupping his hands and cupping his fists: "You are all strong men, I admire Le Jin, the general rest assured, if you can really break through the camp, I will not hold you back."

"kindness."

Gao Shun nodded: "General Yue is brave and good at fighting, I have heard about it for a long time."

Le Jin took a step back and handed over to the trapped camp again. The shouts of killing in his ears became more and more intense, and it was obvious that he was close at hand.

Unable to explain, Le Jin gave an order: "Open the city gate!"

Squeak-!
The city gate of Yan County slowly opened.

When the black soldiers and horses came into Gao Shun's eyes.

There was no fear in his heart, but a murderous look flickered:
"The momentum of the charge, there is no retreat!"

"The will to fall into the battle, there is death but not life!"

"kill-!"

This roar.

Like thunder, like a tsunami!
Originally there were only 300 people in the team, but 3000 people, or even 3 people suddenly burst into a terrifying momentum.

Gao Shun held the Huan Shou knife in his hand, and rushed out with big strides.

Behind him, all the officers and soldiers followed, and none of them showed fear.

Le Jin rushed to the top of the city, staring at the trapped camp outside the city.

Although they rushed out in a swarm.

But
With Gao Shun as the leader, the entire team presents a ladder arrangement, seamlessly integrated without the slightest disorder.

Le Jin is also familiar with military books, so he naturally knows that the formation they deployed is an arrow formation that is extremely good at attacking.

Like the sharpest front end of a weapon.

The main general will lead the battle, and the soldiers in the front row on both sides will form an array with swords and shields, compatible with defense and offense.

And behind the sword shield, there are about two rows of
"what?"

Le Jin was taken aback for a moment: "Without a spearman, is it just a bow soldier? I thought Gao Shun was a general, but I didn't expect him to be a reckless man. I think highly of him!"

In Le Jin's eyes, the attack distance of the bow soldiers is too large, and it is already very remarkable to be able to keep up with the charge, so how can they form a powerful long-range strike ability.

The most powerful part of the front and arrow array is the attack. It must cooperate with spears, swords and shields to maximize the power of the attack. Only in this way can it cooperate with the crossbowmen to exert the greatest power.

but
In Gao Shun's formation, there were no spearmen!
This is equivalent to handing over a large part of the offensive task to the sword and shield soldiers.

However, sword and shield soldiers are both offensive and defensive units, and they need to be in close contact with the enemy, which will inevitably limit their offensiveness.

Charge forward with this kind of spear formation without spearmen, I am afraid that it will not be long before you will be surrounded by the opponent's soldiers and horses, and then wipe them all under the city.

This is not an attack, but death!
Le Jin heaved a long sigh, his heartstrings were tensed, with mixed feelings.

Although Gao Shun's attitude was somewhat arrogant, he belonged to the same front after all.

If Gao Shun died, their military spirit would also be frustrated.

now.

Le Jin gritted his teeth and kept beating drums in his heart.

In case of falling into the camp and being surrounded by thieves, should I save him or not?
