Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

In the camp, Han Shizhong summoned his subordinates one by one and gave them instructions. He then asked his personal guards to be ready, waiting for the enemy to counterattack and then attack them in groups.

A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Judging from the previous attacks, the number of people on the opposite side is not very large. If you want to contain such a large army, you must rely on surprise attacks, otherwise you will have to deploy your troops.

Relying on the army's momentum, Han Shizhong had a hundred ways to defeat the charging cavalry.

When cavalry charges, it also depends on the situation.

"Pity."

Han Shizhong looked around the camp. When they set up camp, they chose a relatively open and flat place. This kind of place has a wide field of vision and can avoid being ambushed or blocked, but it would not be easy to ambush others.

Although it was just a simple fight, Han Shizhong was sure that the opponent's officers were definitely not mediocre.

In other words, from the battle with Xing Han until now, Han Shizhong has never seen a stupid officer. Cao Ren was defeated by him because of the huge gap in strength, but even so, he failed to keep Cao Ren.

The opponent might not be his match in a head-on confrontation, but if the opponent is determined to resist, he can only advance cautiously.

Xinghan's movements this time were very strange, and Yue Fei was in command... The emotions within the Song Dynasty were also complicated regarding this young general who had destroyed the Jin and Liao countries.

Especially the military generals, those who have some family traditions, basically already know that Yue Fei embodies the military spirit, the military spirit of the Song Dynasty.

However, the military spirit of the Song Dynasty was under the command of others...

This kind of thing cast a shadow on Han Shizhong's heart. He joined the army when he was young and had seen everything he should have seen.

Naturally, I understand the significance and reason of making a general like Yue Fei, who has embodied the military spirit, join the army of others. More importantly, the other side actually destroyed Jin and Liao.

Although he didn't know much, Han Shizhong was sure of one thing: the opponent was definitely much stronger than Cao Ren.

This time, their momentum was cut off and a punch hit a vital point, which might be the opponent's decision.

This made Han Shizhong a little anxious. He was a little worried about Zong Ze. Although the old general Zong Ze was currently the top commander of the Song Dynasty, even a little stronger than him, he might be the strongest commander of the Song Dynasty except for Zong Shidao.

But Han Shizhong was still unsure. He had an almost absurd sense of crisis about Zong Ze's safety.

"General, why are you so sad?"

He Rulong beside him asked curiously. It was the first time he saw Han Shizhong with such a sad look on his face since he followed him.

Han Shizhong glanced at He Rulong beside him. He had absorbed the other party into his personal guard and regarded him as one of his own.

He was full of worries and really needed someone to talk to.

"I'm afraid we will continue to be harassed by the enemy. They will stop us from getting close to the main battlefield at all costs!"

While Han Shizhong was explaining to He Rulong, he was also reorganizing his thoughts.

"Can't we ambush them and beat them up? Just like you did to us before? Set up an ambush and catch us all in one fell swoop!"

Although He Rulong is not a smart person, stupid people have their own ways, and their experience is their greatest wealth.

When Han Shizhong was dealing with Fang La, he simply provoked, laid baits, and set up ambushes. He then led his men to surround Fang La and his men, and finally rushed in and captured Fang La alive.

He Rulong remembered it very clearly. They were about to win, but for some reason, enemies suddenly appeared on all sides.

Before they could come to their senses, they saw the general's flag being chopped down, Fang La being captured, and shouts of surrender and no death were echoing everywhere.

Han Shizhong gave a wry smile, if only it could be that simple.

In fact, he had made a lot of preparations to deal with Fang La. At least he had a good understanding of Fang La's character, which enabled him to make such a perfect plan.

But he didn't know much about Lu Junyi, he had only heard of him, and he had never even heard of Gao Chong on the other side.

"The other side is a smart one. It is impossible to annihilate them. After the previous confrontation, they will not go deep into our territory. They will only harass us."

"I moved all the archers and crossbowmen to the outside for this reason. If the enemy doesn't penetrate deep into our territory, we can injure as many as possible. This place is too flat, which has both advantages and disadvantages."

Han Shizhong couldn't help but sigh when he talked about this. The terrain problem was too big.

The cavalry! The cavalry!

If he had a cavalry, these problems would be easily solved, but unfortunately he didn't.

The legions can stick together while marching, forming square and circular formations to deal with harassment from cavalry and avoid being divided and attacked by cavalry.

But the army cannot stay together while marching.

No matter how flat the terrain is, it is impossible for a large army to march in a complete formation.

In most cases when an army marches, the vanguard clears the way, builds roads and bridges, and the army behind then advances slowly in the form of a long snake.

It is possible for the marching team to spread over dozens or even hundreds of miles.

With such a long battle line, it is simply a fantasy to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

Even if we concentrate our forces to set an ambush, the enemy will not be fooled. The attack just now has already explained their deployment. At least they use two cavalrymen as a deployment for harassment and hunting.

Wanting to accurately guess the attack locations of two enemy cavalry teams on a battle line of dozens of miles is simply a dream.

"Then why don't we split up the army and advance in legion sizes?" He Rulong expressed his doubts in a daze.

He knew that Han Shizhong told him this just to make him speak his mind truthfully. Although he didn't know what the use would be, since Han Shizhong wanted him to speak, he would speak.

Han Shizhong sighed again in his heart. The reason why he said so much was actually partly to instill military ideas into He Rulong. After all, delegating the personal guards to the grassroots level to serve as officers is also a way to enhance the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the troops.

If a large army commander wants to command the troops, he must carry out his orders. However, the special situation of the Song Dynasty makes it impossible for him to be in charge of an army for a long time, nor is it possible for him to establish too high prestige in the army.

In the end, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty could only use this method of personal guards to assist in command.

However, it seems that He Rulong still has a long way to go before he can become a mature grassroots military officer.

In fact, what He Rulong said is very right. Under normal circumstances, the army will not act in a group. Basically, they are divided into legions or teams of ten thousand people to advance. In this way, no matter what situation they encounter, they can respond flexibly.

But there is a prerequisite here... these soldiers cannot be a group of rookies who have never seen blood.

This is also a problem that any dynasty must face, that is, the issue of maintaining troops. Only elite troops can be maintained, and ordinary soldiers are basically disbanded on the spot after the battle.

The normal national finances cannot sustain it. Even if it can, the story of Zhao Kuangyin himself wearing the yellow robe is still vivid in people's minds. Who would dare to let his subordinates command their own troops?
Only under the system of enfeoffment can the fighting power of the subordinates be guaranteed. "So, we can only advance step by step?" He Rulong felt that his mind was in a mess and he could not think of any solution at all.

It's like an ordinary person lying in bed, with the buzzing of two mosquitoes lingering in his ears, but when he turns on the light, the mosquitoes disappear, and when he turns off the light, they continue to linger around him.

In the end, you will either collapse and give up, or fight mosquitoes to your death. But no matter which one, it will cause a painful thing, which is that you are destined to not have a good rest.

"Then can we send people out of the camp now to ambush on both sides?" He Rulong proposed an idea.

Han Shizhong instinctively wanted to object, but then he suddenly froze and began to ponder.

To be honest, He Rulong's idea was stupid. If the soldiers leaving the camp were discovered by the enemy, they would not be able to escape. Without the protection of the camp, these soldiers might be directly defeated when facing the cavalry.

But the reason why Han Shizhong hesitated was that He Rulong's method was stupid, but stupid in just the right way. Both sides had realized that the other was a master, and masters have their own considerations for every step in a confrontation.

A plan like He Rulong's, which came up without thinking, might actually have miraculous effects.

"I'll give you 500 troops, and you take 5,000 people out of the camp and ambush near the mountains in the distance. If there are people there, then we'll capture them. If there is no one, then we'll return to the camp tomorrow!" Han Shizhong made the decision.

Instead of waiting to die, it is better to give it a try. War requires a little surprise.

"Yes!" He Rulong clasped his fists and left.

"Each of you will bring 500 troops and 5,000 soldiers. Stand ready on both sides. Once the archers make a move, attack from both sides immediately. Try to drive the enemy to the designated direction. Follow my orders at any time!"

Han Shizhong was also a decisive person. He had to give it a try even if it meant dying, so he made the decision immediately.

We started designing based on the plan proposed by He Rulong.

While Han Shizhong was telling He Rulong in detail about the difficulties they had encountered, Lu Junyi and Gao Chong were recuperating.

Lu Junyi silently ate the dry food in his hand, counted the number of people, and waited for the early morning hours.

"This thing tastes surprisingly good?"

Lu Junyi bit the dry food in his hand. It was a new type of military ration developed by Huang Tianji, which was mixed with the powder of ancient god meat and some medicinal herbs.

Not only can it be used to satisfy hunger, it can even be used as a recovery product. After eating it, you will be full of energy for the whole day.

It’s not that there is no self-heating military rations, but Lu Junyi is more cautious and chose to carry more conservative military rations.

"Han Shizhong! How exciting!"

Lu Junyi licked his lips. This time the opponent was not easy to deal with, so he had to be on his toes.

He poured the water he brought with him on his face, relying on the slightly cold touch to calm himself down. This was not the time to think about these things. His mission was to delay the opponent, not to win or lose with the opponent.

"Gao Chong, how's it going over there?" Lu Junyi used his communicator to call Gao Chong in another direction.

Huang Tianji's black-tech communicator is different from any serious technological product. It is more idealistic and is based on the will of the empire, achieving the effect of cross-world calls.

However, this thing is not very effective under clouds, and sometimes it will be affected by other factors.

What they have in their hands are just preliminary prototypes.

However, even though there are many problems, it makes communication much more convenient.

"Nothing unusual, be prepared to launch a second attack at any time!"

"Okay!" Lu Junyi hung up the phone directly.

Although they used this thing, because Mu Yi was extremely picky about it, the officers under his command did not completely trust it.

Because they are all very sensitive to the monitoring that Mu Yi mentioned, they will try to use some agreed-upon codes when communicating.

Just like when they retreated before, they agreed that now they would communicate in the simplest way to avoid exposing more information.

At this time, Han Shizhong had already deployed archers at the edge of the camp, and the crossbows were also almost ready.

Because it was a large army marching, the camp was only half a person's height, but it was very densely built with no gaps at all. The archers and the like squatted in the back and could not be seen at all.

Han Shizhong knew that he couldn't sleep well, so he simply took his personal guards to the front line of the camp, intending to give Lu Junyi and his men a head-on blow.

Lu Junyi and his men are retreating in this direction. If the enemy wants to launch an attack, the best way is to launch a surprise attack from this direction.

After all, the noise made by cavalry movements was too loud, and it was impossible to hide it completely.

"How is it?" Han Shizhong asked, looking at the guard lying on the ground.

Although the art of ground listening sounds fake, it is actually very useful and can capture even the slightest movements.

Many times it can produce miraculous effects.

This personal guard of his was also recruited from Fang La's army. He was born with a strong sense of hearing, and his listening skills were amazing. Han Shizhong recruited him to his army, and he was put to good use at this moment.

"Not yet...it's coming!" A look of joy appeared on the face of the personal guard.

"A large group of cavalry is slowly approaching!"

When it was almost dawn, Lu Junyi ordered his soldiers to wrap the horses' hooves and slowly move towards the camp. The speed was not fast, but there was almost no sound.

When they walked all the way to within a mile of the camp, Lu Junyi could already see the situation in the camp with his extraordinary vision. Although the guards had been replenished, there were also several more teams of patrol soldiers.

"No scouts? It seems the other party is a little careless."

A hint of joy appeared on Lu Junyi's face. The other side did not send the scouts out of the camp to wait for orders. Perhaps their counterattack this time would have a miraculous effect.

As the distance got closer, Lu Junyi couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, and shouted to his soldiers,

"Mount your horses and prepare to attack."

Lu Junyi jumped on his horse, and all the soldiers under his command jumped on the horses with ferocious faces and attacked the camp without any concealment.

It was only a short mile, and at their speed, they reached the destination in an instant.

"kill!"

Along with a roar, the earth-shaking sound of horse hooves rang out. (End of this chapter)
