Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 380: Those who fight are the elites

Everyone knows that a dog's nose is sharp, but actually a horse's nose is not weak at all either.

The sense of smell is also one of the main means for horses to sense the surrounding environment and provide early warning.

Affected by the wind direction, sometimes the warning range is much larger than hearing and vision.

Zhang He has been on the battlefield for so many years, and he never misses any details, and it is often these details that can save his life in crises.

It was already late at night, but the horses that should have dropped their heads to sleep seemed a little restless, kicking their hooves and snorting from time to time.

This is the horse's warning signal to his companions that danger may be approaching.

As war horses that have been trained to fight on the battlefield, they are much more courageous than ordinary horses. The other wolves and wild foxes can no longer make them so uneasy.

Zhang He noticed something unusual about the horses and felt a chill rise in him. The possibility that suddenly came to his mind made his hair stand on end - night attack? !

Ordinarily, the Shu army is not good at cavalry, so they should not have the courage to attack the camp at night.

But Zhang He has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and the safety of Guanzhong can be said to depend on him at this time.

In just a moment, he made his decision.

"Command the soldiers to assemble, put on their armor and mount their horses for me! Quick!"

"Yes!" The soldiers following Zhang He immediately went to deliver the order and were ready to blow the rally call.

He didn't know why Hao Duan had to gather to prepare for war, but this did not affect his quick and resolute execution of orders.

For any elite team, obeying orders is a basic quality.

Liu Chan's Red Star Army is like this. If you understand it, you must implement it. If you don't understand it, then slowly understand it during execution.

The same is true for Zhang He's elite cavalry, but the difference is that he doesn't need the soldiers below to understand, he only needs to let them know that those who don't obey orders - kill!

……

Liu Chan did not take command from the center this time, but walked at the front of the army together with the soldiers of the Red Star Army.

It's all in the dark, the command flag can't be seen, and it's impossible to command at all in this era.

In the darkness, the general could not use the command flags and the command system issued at all levels to send detailed orders, so naturally he could not use the formation.

When playing night attack, you can only follow the established strategy. There are only two temporary orders that can be issued: march with drums and retreat with gold.

In this case, commanding from the center is naturally meaningless.

"Prince, our army is upwind at this time, and the enemy's horses may give a warning in advance..." Meng Yan, who was following Liu Chan, said worriedly.

As a descendant of the Meng family in Nanzhong, he has been dealing with Yunnan horses since he was a child, so he is naturally familiar with their habits.

However, how could Comrade Liu Adou, who had been on horseback since he could not speak, "driving" Zhao Yun seven times in and out of Changban Slope, not know this?

"I know, but it's a pity that the west wind is blowing tonight, but I don't have the ability to borrow the east wind." Liu Chan said helplessly.

Things in the world are impermanent, and everything can never be perfect.

"I just hope that the soldiers on duty in the Wei army will not notice this in the middle of the night."

We have to wait for the east wind or calm wind, but we don't know how long we have to wait, and Zhang He's military camp is blocking the entrance of Longyou into Guanzhong, and there is no way to get around to the rear.

Zhang He had already considered this when he established the camp. As a cavalryman, he could not give Liu Chan a chance to sneak back behind him and flank him on both sides.

In that case, the cavalry's greatest advantage, mobility, would be gone.

And if you want to wait until Uncle Zhuge arrives with his army before fighting, you will lose the chance to capture these Wei troops.

Zhang He is not mentally retarded. If he knew that he had no chance of winning, who would stay here and confront the Han army head-on?

I'm afraid he would have fled back to Chencang as fast as possible. If you want to keep these elite cavalry, you can only rely on yourself without knowing the progress on Li Er's side.

In case of defeat... there is also Uncle Zhuge's army on the way as backup.

The tragedy of the weaker side is that no matter how you choose, there is no completely correct option.

If you want greater gains, you will inevitably face greater sacrifices and risks.

Liu Chan calmed down, put aside all distracting thoughts, and adjusted his energy and spirit during the march, preparing for the critical battle that was about to begin.

The surrounding Red Star Army soldiers changed their excitement during the day and seemed to have turned into indifferent machine puppets again, marching silently and quickly.

Even in the dark night, tonight's moonless weather was enough for them to see the surrounding environment clearly, and they still maintained a strict military appearance during the late-night march.

Under the indifferent appearance, the anger in his heart has already surged to its peak, just waiting to be poured onto the enemy, and it can be resolved at the cost of drying up the enemy's blood.

The ordinary Han soldiers behind them were watching the backs of the people in front of them, for fear of falling behind in the dark night.

Fortunately, they were close to their destination, and the increasingly obvious enemy camp torches in the distance were their best guide in the darkness.

Liu Chan gave an order, and several soldiers around him took off their bows and prepared to use their increasingly sophisticated shooting skills to try to kill the soldiers on duty on the enemy's corner tower.

As they got closer, he ordered the army to stop advancing, and the Red Star Army began to assume a formation that had been rehearsed in advance as planned.

The Han army in the rear did not take any unnecessary actions to avoid the chaos caused by the darkness.

The Red Star warrior holding the bow silently took out an arrow from the quiver and nocked it, then leaned down, preparing to leave the team and move closer towards the turret...

Woo——!

The sudden and desolate horn sound suddenly broke the silence of the night, and also startled many sleeping birds in the nearby mountains and forests.

Afterwards, Zhang He's camp gradually turned from calm to turbulent like boiling water!

Fuck!

Liu Chan couldn't help but cursed fiercely in his heart. Sure enough, it was impossible to do everything according to his plan.

Especially when the opponent is no ordinary person.

It seems that the attack of his own army and the smell of more than a hundred Yunnan horses in the team still caused the warning of the war horses in Cao's army.

Obviously, Zhang He, who had rich combat experience, did not ignore this.

"Prince?" Ding Feng looked at Liu Chan, waiting for the prince to make the final decision.

Meng Yan, who had suffered a loss at the hands of Jiang Wei, reacted differently from his previous recklessness: "Prince, the enemy is already on alert. Why don't we retreat first and find another opportunity to fight?"

Where are the fighter planes?

This was the last time the enemy had been alerted.

If he misses this time, Zhang He will definitely not give himself the opportunity to get so close again.

What's more, the three thousand enemy troops are all elite cavalry. If they retreat at this time, once the opponent pounces on them, I'm afraid it will immediately turn into a huge rout.

The consequences could be disastrous!

Liu Chan gritted his teeth fiercely: "The plan has changed, everyone is ordered to light their torches and follow them to the enemy camp! Kill the enemy and burn the camp!"

"Yes!" Ding Feng carried out Liu Chan's order without hesitation.

"The elite of Cao's army are ready. Should we attack at this time..." Although Meng Yan was not afraid, but the matter was very important, he still asked for instructions at the end.

Liu Chan got on his horse, took off his treasured bow, and sneered: "Elites? I'm fighting the damn elites!"
