Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 342 The four battalions are in chaos, Yuan Shao is tricked by Wuhuan

Yellow River.

The two armies lined up.

Yuan Shao's cavalry was 30, and Liu Bei's cavalry was 12.

More than [-] infantry and cavalry rushed to kill, and most of them competed with brave soldiers.

When we meet on a narrow road, only the brave will win.

However, when both sides have more than [-] infantry and cavalry, the requirements for generals become even higher.

It doesn't mean that you will definitely win if you use brave soldiers.

He will be able to know the weather, the right terrain, and the formations, and he will be able to direct all his steps and horses with the same intention as his arms until he punches out.

Whoever has a high level of command will be able to seize the opportunity to win on the battlefield.

If the command level is too low, even if there are [-] infantry and cavalry, [-] of them may be confused and watching the show.

For example, the opponent's archers are covered by arrow rain, and one's own shield soldiers don't know when to raise their shields.

Another example is that our cavalry has torn apart the enemy's formation, but the infantry is still watching.

Therefore, in a large battlefield, the person in command must be able to reasonably allocate generals and pawns so that the entire army's infantry and cavalry can coordinate closely.

Yuan Shaofang.

Yuan Shao is in command.

Liu Beifang.

The one in command was Liu Bei.

Both sides set up large formations, with the front troops [-] steps apart.

If it is too close, it will not be conducive to troop mobilization and formation advancement.

Although it was already time for the decisive battle, Yuan Shao, who had won ten battles in a row, was a little arrogant.

Not only did they not immediately issue an attack order, but they also called out Liu Bei and invited Liu Bei to answer in the formation.

Yuan Shaozhi was so proud that he personally led more than ten generals into the battle.

"Liu Bei, do you dare to step forward and speak!"

Yuan Shao's words were a bit contemptuous. Shouting like this in front of the two armies was simply treating Liu Bei's generals as if they were nothing.

"Your Majesty, please give me a strong bow and kill Yuan Shao!"

Huang Zhong looked angry. Yuan Shao appeared in the formation, didn't he just bully Liu Bei's army?
Lu Bu also asked for a fight: "Although they are 150 steps apart, Bu's precious eagle bow is enough to kill Yuan Shao!"

Liu Bei shook his head: "Yuan Shao is wearing a large armor, and his horses are also armored. If I survive the shot, Yuan Shao will look down on me."

"When I come in person, I will talk to Yuan Shao."

"If we can persuade Yuan Shao to surrender, we can avoid the innocent deaths of soldiers on both sides."

The generals shook their heads, secretly thinking that Liu Bei was too kind.

If Yuan Shao could be persuaded to surrender, the situation today would not exist.

However, although the generals shook their heads but did not refute, they were actually a little happy in their hearts.

If the emperor is benevolent, he will naturally not worry about the cunning rabbit being killed and being cooked by the lackey.

Liu Bei also led only a dozen generals from the Baiji camp out of the formation, and came to the formation, dozens of steps away from Yuan Shao.

"Liu Bei, you have been defeated by me for ten battles in a row. Now your morale is low and your troops are not as good as mine. Why don't you surrender?" Yuan Shao was arrogant and his words were full of arrogance: "If you surrender to me, you will also surrender in the future." You can still be a king, so why bother to seek death?"

Liu Bei sneered: "I am the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. I obey the destiny and fight against the rebels. How can I surrender and rebel?"

Yuan Shao laughed: "I have already supported the King of Hejian and proclaimed himself emperor. Liu Bei knew that the emperor was here, but he still disobeyed and proclaimed himself emperor. How is it different from rebelling against the king? If we say traitor, Liu Bei, you are the traitor."

Bluffing Liu Bei with dead people?

Liu Bei is now more and more accustomed to the status of emperor: "At the beginning, where is the King of Hejian now?"

Yuan Shao's smile did not change: "Liu Bei, the Emperor has arrived in Yecheng in person. If you want to see him, I can take you to see the Emperor immediately. Why are you cursing the Emperor?"

Seeing that Yuan Shao was still telling lies, Liu Bei said: "Yuan Shao, you and I are old acquaintances. When there was trouble in Qingzhou in the past, you also called for food transportation. Why don't you lead the people back to surrender? I will still regard you as the general and supervise the governor." How about the three states in Hebei?"

Both sides are trying to persuade them to surrender, but no one is tempted.

One is the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the other is the co-head of the Yuan family who wants to be emperor.

It is also an existence that is incompatible with water and fire.

"Liu Bei, since you insist on fighting, I will not show mercy." Yuan Shao pointed his whip at Liu Bei's back: "Behind you is the Yellow River. Since ancient times, military strategists have said that a place with their backs to water is the place where soldiers die. This Yellow River is hundreds of miles away. , is the burial place of your more than [-] troops!"

Liu Bei had Zhuge Liang's instructions and retorted: "For most generals, a place with their backs against the water is a place of death; but there are also Marquis of Huaiyin who fought against the water and risked their lives to survive!"

"My soldiers and horses are all ready to fight to the death!"

"Yuan Shao, do you dare to break my backwater formation!"

Yuan Shao laughed and turned around: "Liu Bei, I will tear down your pride today. Not everyone can set up this backwater formation!"

Both sides return to their own formations.

Xun Chen and Xu You looked at Liu Bei's military formation from the general platform.

"Duke Ming, Chen has never seen this backwater formation, and there is no so-called backwater formation recorded in military books. It is probably Liu Bei's bluff."

"However, when I look at Liu Bei's military formation, it is true that the formation is measured. You must not be careless."

At this time, Yuan Shao felt a little regretful.

If Feng Ji and Shen Pei were here, they would definitely be able to recognize Liu Bei's military formation.

However, this regret did not last long, after all, Fengji had already been beheaded.

Seeing that Xu You and Xun Chen couldn't understand, Yuan Shao stopped thinking: "Regardless of whether it is a backwater formation or not, this general has 30 troops, while Liu Bei only has more than [-] troops, with twice as many troops as Liu Bei. As long as all the troops are If the army advances, it will be overwhelming, so how can it be defeated?"

"What's more, I have three hundred heavy cavalry in full armor!"

With Yuan Shao's command flag waving, the 30-strong army began to advance.

On Liu Bei's side, Liu Bei agreed to wave the command flag and use a defensive formation to resist Yuan Shao's attack.

This kind of frontal battlefield doesn't have too many bells and whistles.

Bows and arrows came over, shields came up to meet them, and then the long weapons in the front row began to charge into the formation.

Either the shield soldiers are in front, or the spearmen are in front, or the cavalry is in a roundabout way, or the archers are guerrillas in the rear.
Yuan Shao had the advantage of troops. Even on the attacking side, he was able to crush Liu Bei on the defending side.

"Backwater Formation?"

"What a joke!"

"Liu Bei will go into the Yellow River to feed the big fish today!"

Yuan Shao saw Liu Bei's side being crushed on the general platform, and felt that victory was already in sight.

And this moment.

on the periphery of the battlefield.

Zhao Yun led the cavalry from the White Pao Camp to the rear of Yuan Shao's military formation.

"Yuan Shao has many troops. If we just attack in a roundabout way, Yuan Shao can easily divide his troops to resist us."

"If you want to disrupt Yuan Shao's army, you must first disrupt their morale."

Zhou Yu, in white robe, is high-spirited.

As the most powerful cavalry battalion, this is not the first time that the Baipao Battalion has galloped across the land of Jizhou since its establishment.

The first time was to escort Liu Yu, running back and forth between Linzi and Zhuojun; the second time was to follow Zheng Ping and lead Yuan Shao's cavalry in Jizhou, and then go to Bingzhou and enter Xudu, making a big circle.

When it comes to running attacks, Baipao Camp is already quite skilled.

"If Gong Jin has any good ideas, just tell him directly. Ce is too lazy to use his brain." Sun Ce pointed his spear, and his strong arms seemed to have added strength to all his intelligence points.

Zhao Yun looked calmly in the direction of Yuan Shao's camp and listened quietly to Zhou Yu's words.Zhou Yu analyzed calmly: "Your Majesty's order to us is to go around the rear and disrupt Yuan Shao's army. However, Yuan Shao's rear army also has five formations of 5000 soldiers. We only have [-] people, and it is difficult to kill through these five formations."

"Therefore, this battle lies in the use of skill rather than force."

Sun Ce straightened up: "Use skill instead of force? Doesn't that mean Ce can't kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Bo Fu, what Yu said is that you can't kill the enemy if you use skill but don't use force."

"That still requires effort."

"."

"Ah, haha, Gongjin, you continue, you continue."

Seeing Zhou Yu's expression of wanting to kill someone, Sun Ce laughed and took a few steps back.

Seeing Sun Ce retreat, Zhou Yu secretly sighed, and then said solemnly: "However, although Yuan Shao's rear army has many soldiers and horses, most of them are temporarily summoned from various places. They appear to be in formation, but in fact most of these soldiers and horses are The powerful private army of a powerful Hebei family."

"It's similar to the soldiers and horses that His Majesty summoned in the six southern states. Although they are brave, they are not rigorous enough. This is why, for this roundabout surprise attack, His Majesty only recalled the elite soldiers from our headquarters, and the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers were used to bluff and contain Yuan Shao. The troops were divided into four directions."

Sun Ce couldn't help it anymore: "Gong Jin, just tell Ce what to do. You don't need to tell Ce why you want to do what you want to do. Anyway, if you let Ce go east, Ce won't attack the west."

"Shut up, Bo Fu!" Zhou Yu couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.

Sun Ce shrank his head and said in a weak voice: "Shut up, just shut up, Gongjin, don't be cruel to Ce, Ce is your brother after all."

Zhao Yun was also a little helpless.

As long as Zhou Yu was around, Sun Ce didn't care about the process at all and just wanted to move forward.

"Gong Jin, don't pay attention to Bo Fu. Just tell Yun Ting." Zhao Yun spoke slowly.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly and said: "Yuan Shao's rear army had five formations, and one of them was the Wuhuan cavalry. But he falsely claimed that Taishi Ci had defeated Liucheng and Liaoxi, killed Yuan Tan in the formation, and defeated the Wuhuan royal court, killing more than [-] people in the royal court. This will anger the Wuhuan cavalry."

"First disrupt the Wuhuan cavalry formation, and then lead the Wuhuan cavalry to break the four formations of Yuan Shao's rear army."

Zhao Yun considered Zhou Yu's thoughts carefully and said: "Such a bluff can frighten the Wuhuan people and disturb their military morale, but it cannot completely anger the Wuhuan cavalry. You need to kill the Wuhuan general to anger him." "

When Sun Ce heard that he was going to kill the general, he immediately came over and shouted: "Behead the general and seize the flag. You can't do it without strategy!"

"Shut up, Bo Fu!"

"Shut up, Bo Fu!"

Even Zhao Yun couldn't help but scold him now.

After careful discussion, Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu determined the details of the tactics, and finally let Sun Ce take the lead.

If Sun Ce was not allowed to take the lead, Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu were worried that Sun Ce would destroy the cavalry formation in order to gain credit.

after all.

Even if it's just Wuhuan's cavalry formation, that's 2 people!

Leading [-] cavalrymen to rush through an army of [-] people, the requirements for the cavalry formation are very high!
If they can't be twisted into a rope, let alone disrupt the Wuhuan army formation, whether they can come out after rushing in is a question.

Not only Zhao Yun, but also Guan Yu, Sun Jian and Zhang Fei were given the task of disrupting Yuan Shao's army.

Zhao Yun was in the rear, Guan Yu, Sun Jian, and Zhang Fei were in Yuan Shao's left army and right army respectively.

at this time.

Yuan Shao's front army was still overwhelming, forcing Liu Bei's army back step by step.

From noon to dusk, the two sides had been fighting for several hours.

Although he was pressed by Yuan Shao step by step, Liu Bei did not panic. Apart from dispatching his troops and generals, he kept looking up at the sky.

suddenly.

Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked at the sky-praying lantern rising in the west with some surprise.

"Yi De has begun!"

After the sky-praying lantern appeared in the west, two sky-praying lanterns also appeared in the east.

"Yun Chang and Wentai have also started!"

Yuan Shao was no stranger to the sky-praying lanterns in Liu Bei's army.

This special lantern is often used for special communications when various troops and horses cooperate in combat.

Although he didn't understand the purpose of the appearance of these three sky-praying lanterns, Yuan Shao had already vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Left Army and Right Army, quickly transmit information."

Before Yuan Shao's order was issued, the left army and right army had already sent intelligence.

"Report to the general, the left army formation encountered Zhang Fei's surprise attack!"

"Report to the general, the right army formation encountered an attack by Guan Yu and Sun Jian!"

Yuan Shao's face changed greatly: "Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Sun Jian? Why did they appear here?"

In order to divide his troops to deal with the four battalions of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Sun Jian and Zhao Yun, Yuan Shao allocated 20 troops.

As a result, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Sun Jian appeared here without anyone noticing, but none of the generals who were separated to block these three routes sent back information.

"A bunch of trash!"

Although Yuan Shao realized it later, he also knew that the four separate soldiers and horses had been deceived.

Xu You said calmly: "My Lord, there is no need to worry. When Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Sun Jian appear in the left and right armies, they must have few soldiers, otherwise they will not be discovered."

"This must be Liu Bei's confidence to fight his last. Ming Gong only needs to order the left army and the right army to form a defensive formation. We have many troops, so we don't need to be too impatient. As long as we advance step by step, we will win."

Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Liu Bei is out of skills. Do you think that bringing back Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Sun Jian can disrupt our army's formation? With an army of 30, one person can drown Liu Bei with just a mouthful of saliva."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalryman hurriedly came to report.

"Report to the general that an unknown cavalry raided the rear army's Wuhuan cavalry formation, beheading the right Shan Yu Wuyan, and now they are leading the Wuhuan cavalry to kill the rear army's four formations."

"The cavalry was charging and shouting slogans such as 'Tai Shi Ci has defeated Liucheng and Liaoxi', 'Behead Yuan Tan in formation', 'Destroyed the court of Wuhuan and killed more than [-] people in the court'."

Yuan Shao's face instantly turned livid.

"A bunch of idiots!"

"Chunyu Qiong!"

"exist!"

"Go back to the rear immediately and order Tadun and Su Puyan to return to the main formation immediately. If they don't listen to the advice, they will be killed without mercy!"

Yuan Shao never expected that the Wuhuan cavalry would charge into the rear four formations.

This is the disadvantage of commanding an army of 30 people.

If the ability is not enough, it will be impossible to arrange formations reasonably and deploy troops reasonably.

The reason why the Wuhuan cavalry was placed in the rear army was because Yuan Shao felt that he could not let the Wuhuan cavalry make the first contribution and just stay in the rear army to build up their reputation.

And Yuan Shao's generals didn't want Tadun and others to take the credit.

Originally, Tadun and others were a little dissatisfied. After all, why go south if you can't get any benefits?

Therefore, Tadun, Su Puyan and Wu Yandun felt that the opportunity to make meritorious deeds had come when they were rushed by the white robe camp.

Who knew that the Baipao camp was too fierce, and Wu Yan was directly killed by Sun Ce's formation. The five thousand cavalry shouted in unison, "Tai Shi Ci has defeated Liucheng and Liaoxi", "The formation has killed Yuan Tan," he defeated Wuhuan Wangting and killed Wang Tingsan. More than a hundred people' and other slogans.

Tadun and Su Buyan were frightened and angry, and started chasing Baipaoying with red eyes.

As for the army formation.

The Wuhuan cavalry rushed to kill them, asking for some kind of military formation.

　The description of the battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people is for readers' pleasure, but don't take it seriously.

　　After all, this is beyond the scope of knowledge
