Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 428 Anticipate Your Anticipation
"It's not good... The other party seems to have touched it..." In the mountains and forests near Cheng County, Xia Houyuan was somewhat confused.

Yesterday, news came from the eyes and ears that Liu Chong's troops began to move northward and were already close to Cheng County.

Obviously this place is hundreds of miles away from Xiapi, and Cao Cao is in Xiapi, but instead of going to Xiapi, he came here instead...

But the other party's guess was correct. Cao Cao did arrange an army here, commanded by Xia Houyuan.

This place is hundreds of miles away from Xiapi. Xiahou Yuan can probably advance at a speed of a hundred miles a day while avoiding the enemy.

In fact, if we don't consider the problem of baggage and supplies, they can travel [-] miles a day without any problem.

It has this ability to run, so it is arranged here so that it can quickly go south when needed.

If not necessary, this army will remain hidden, but even so, it is still found.

It is better to say that Pang Tong just suspected that there was an army here, so he came to take a look. After all, putting an army here would be valuable whether it was to attack Xiapi or defend Kaiyang.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if it doesn't happen here. Anyway, if you don't follow Cao Cao's rhythm, it is already considered a victory.

It is indeed disgusting that the other party wants to strengthen the walls and clear the country. On the other hand, if the court delays, they will completely miss the spring planting and the autumn harvest will become a problem.

If it continues to be delayed like this, let alone next year, Cao Cao will be out of food after autumn.

The biggest fear is not running out of food, but seeing what they will use to burn after winter begins!
Without warm clothing and firewood, many people would freeze to death in one winter.

In other words, Cao's army could be defeated just by running around without doing anything.

If the other party can't help but take the initiative, then the traces will be completely exposed.

Pang Tong completely understood that the key to breaking the game was not to follow the opponent's rhythm, but to lead the opponent to his own rhythm.

No matter what, he is the future 'Fengxiao', no matter how immature he is now.

After getting into his rhythm, Pang Tong's bad taste was completely released.

After investigating at night, it was easy to find the enemy's traces in the mountains and forests in the northern part of Cheng County.

The army did not kill them immediately. After all, facing the mountain and forest environment, many tactics could not be used. At the same time, people might also set traps.

No, it's not possible. This is the final decisive battle. It is impossible for Cao Cao not to be fully prepared...

Xia Houyuan was also confused. The enemy troops had already been stationed near Cheng County. What did it mean to suddenly turn around and go back?
"General, you probably didn't see any trace of us, so you withdrew?" Lieutenant General Yan Ming came over and said.

After all, after finding out that they were coming, Xia Houyuan ordered to head deeper into the mountains and forests to avoid the other party's detection.

But there are so many traces that are not too obvious to Ye Bushou's eyes. If you look a little more carefully, you will know that there was once a large army stationed here.

We can even know from the traces the approximate direction in which they migrated.

"Almost done!" Pang Tong walked out of the camp at night, looked at the sky, and signaled to Zhang He.

Zhang He immediately mobilized his troops and marched deep into the mountains and forests, paving the way at night. In addition, the night was bright tonight, so he had nothing to worry about even without torches.

Of course, if you want to enter the forest, you must prepare some pungent potion in advance and spray it on your feet.

Compared to mosquitoes, wild beasts and venomous snakes in the forest at night are more deadly.

This pungent potion is the result of medical school research and can have some repelling effects.

Of course, it's only for driving away. Those beasts don't like the smell, but if you insist on passing by, you may further anger the beasts.

"Come on, the opponent's camp is right in front." The captain of the night team came over to report.

Ye Bushou has now dispatched 500 people. Except for Yang Lang and Chen Dao, the captains of the other three teams are not very capable.

It can only be said that he is already an outstanding Yakuzai, but strictly speaking, he is just an 'ordinary' Yakuzai elite, nothing special or powerful.

By the way, for this war, Zhang He seconded Yang Lang's team to Guan Yu all night long.

If they can't win in this way, Liu Bei will probably transfer Zhang He to him as the commander-in-chief.

"How is the guarding situation?" Zhang He asked.In this operation, as the vanguard, he was mainly responsible for charging into the formation, while Liu Chong's troops lay in ambush on the periphery to intercept the enemy's rout.

To be honest, Liu Chong's command experience is really bad. The mountain forest battle is a test of his command ability, and Zhang He doesn't want him to cause trouble.

"There are guards, but there are no defensive measures." Captain Ye Bushou replied.

The other party hid here on purpose and temporarily stationed here, so naturally there were no defenses.

Basically, it can clean up the weeds and fallen leaves to prevent the woods from being ignited when using fire, which is already very good.

Since there are no defensive measures, it doesn't matter whether there are guards or even sentry posts. After all, you just need to rush over.

The battle formation is of little use here, and it relies on personal bravery.

Although the number of these Euphorbia warriors trained by Zhang He was only two thousand, each of them could equal one to ten.

The biggest problem is that the terrain of this mountain forest may affect the Euphorbia's attack to some extent, resulting in a decrease in combat effectiveness.

In this environment, not to mention the Euphorbias, spears or spears will be affected, but the sword and shield soldiers are more convenient.

Standard war bows will be affected, after all, arrows may be blocked by trees.

What is needed here is not a hard bow, but a soft bow that can only shoot more than ten meters. That thing can be shot by raising your hand without much effort.

Zhang He's men don't have such a bow, and they don't plan to use it. This time they are playing a raid. Why do they play with such a long range? You are right!

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The enemy soldiers on duty soon discovered the charging enemy troops and immediately sounded the gong to warn them.

The army quickly rose from its slumber, but to be honest, it was really not easy to sleep well in this environment.

If you are woken up when you are half asleep, if you look carefully you will find one or two people who are full of resentment.

Fortunately, he had good military qualities, so he immediately picked up his weapon and faced him.

But facing the charge of the Euphorbias, they had no choice but to face the challenge. Only when they faced the challenge did they realize that their own weapons might not be able to hurt the heavy infantry in front of them.

However, the opponent's big halberd slashed and stabbed down, leaving him no room to resist.

The barrel of the gun was broken and the armor was split.

Even one slash and two thrusts work very well together.

Rather, it is the environment of the mountain forest that makes it more convenient for these Euphorbia warrior teams to cooperate in combat.

Not to mention them, Liu Bei's army has its own drills and training specifically for the mountain and forest environment.

It's just that I rarely had the opportunity to fight in the past, but now I have such a rare opportunity.

After the actual battle, I discovered that the other side's soldiers were much worse than the opponents I practiced with, which naturally further improved their morale.

It's not surprising, after all, their opponents are other teams, and everyone has grown up through exercises.

Just at this moment, an army came from the side and attacked Zhang He's rear. It was another army hidden in Kaiyang and also belonged to Xia Houyuan.

According to Guo Jia's plan, Xia Houyuan's tribe was divided into two, one in the mountains and the other in Kaiyang.

When they find that the enemy is approaching, Kaiyang's troops will use the darkness to ambush near Xiahou Yuan's headquarters.

I really didn't expect that as soon as they arrived, a war broke out here.

"Haha, you are surrounded!" Xia Houyuan personally went to kill Zhang He.

"Unfortunately, we predicted your prediction!" Zhang He sneered.
