The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Dao explained: "In this battle, although all our troops have changed to infantry, they have used cavalry. They are fully adapted to fighting on horseback. Once they dismount, they cannot adapt to the ruggedness of the mountain and forest areas. In addition, horses have often become our soldiers. The burden has seriously affected our marching speed and combat capability."

"You're saying that infantry was used without the right professional infantry."

"Yes. On the other hand, North Korean soldiers have very few soldiers and horses. The infantry is proficient in dispersing and gathering, and it is easy to intercept and outflank. Especially the crossbowmen, who organize echelons and alternate shooting in turn, are extremely lethal. Harmonious use, orderly offense and defense. The layout of the battle formation and the charge of the infantry group are completely dispatched by the flag bearers around the North Korean generals with the flag, the order is unified, and the connection between the top and bottom is not chaotic..."

Nie Zefeng nodded, pointing his fingers high and smoothly: "Go back and write the notebook and report it... What Chen Dao said is the harvest!"

Gao Shun hurriedly replied: "The minister receives the decree!"

Nie Zefeng turned his face to Lu Bu again and said, "General Lu Bu, it's easy for you to go and come back. You won't lose or win. I wonder if you have gained anything?"

Lu Bu also hurriedly knelt down: "The fool will return without success, and he is ashamed of the king."

Nie Zefeng replied: "That's right, you were ashamed in the battle of Liaodong, but you entered North Korea, an enemy with mountains within mountains, and you don't know where the Koreans are at all, so you're dazed and at a loss?"

Lu Bu also replied with deep emotion: "The foolish general doesn't have a deep understanding of the king's strategy, so he can't respond to the battle and is at a loss..."

Nie Zefeng pointed at Gao Shun again: "Second brother must learn from elder brother's experience and lessons. The North Koreans have always paid attention to pre-war reconnaissance, and there are only three things. Next time, let the North Koreans be deaf and blind!"

Gao Shunyou hurriedly replied: "The minister leads the decree!"

Nie Zefeng looked at Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao brushed his sleeves solemnly, knelt down and shouted: "The last general, Zhang Bao, has nothing to say, he has been defeated so thoroughly, he is extremely embarrassed."

Nie Zefeng joked a little sarcasticly: "You, Zhang Bao, are also burdened by your reputation, so that North Korea focused on dealing with General Zhang with three trump cards. It can be seen that too much fame is not a good thing."

Zhang Bao sighed with a kind of sadness: "Your Majesty, I have already been heartbroken, and I am speechless to face Your Majesty."

"Let me tell you about the harvest for you. The North Koreans regard General Zhang as a strong force in our army. General Zhang himself cannot carry such a burden. He must be weak, humble, and open-minded. Do you understand? The weakest person on earth is water." , any tiny obstacle can change its direction and shape. It is round in a round container and square in a square container. It seems to have no self-assertion, but once it accumulates into a flood, no matter how big the rock is, it will Unstoppable..."

Zhang Bao bowed his head and remained silent.

Nie Zefeng continued: "Weakness will lead to strength, and strength will turn into weakness. The shape of an army is like water, and its momentum is like a strong army. It changes according to the formation, and guides according to the situation. Don't always beat the hard with the hard! General Zhang, please remember!"

After Nie Zefeng finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand and the guard next to him stood up and began to read aloud: "The king of Chu appointed Gao Shun as the new vanguard general of the Ping Dynasty to be responsible for fighting against the mountainous areas in northern North Korea. General Ning Wei commanded [-] troops of the original North Korean Zhongzhou infantry and navy as the vanguard, and allowed the trapped camp to expand. After General Gao Shun wiped out the northern mountainous area, he ordered Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry to attack the southern central area, and Lu Bu swept the left. , Chen arrived to sweep the right, and General Zhang Bao was the grain and grass officer."

In the evening of the same day, Gao ordered the army to break out of the camp and set off, and went down the Yalu River by water and starry night, heading straight for Xiangshan.

The tens of thousands of soldiers had eaten their fill, so they thought they would rest in Liaoyang City for one night, and then slowly march by boat tomorrow morning.

Who would have thought that just as they lay down, before they even had time to close their eyes, the order to break out of the camp had already been communicated.

The military order is like a mountain, and the soldiers who have the quality of the iron army will pack their bags and set off immediately without any hesitation.

But after boarding the ship, more than ten thousand soldiers were surprised to find that his warship did not attack Jiangjun Peak along the Han River north, but turned to Xiangshan, the place where Chen Dao's army failed last time.

"Aren't you going to attack General Peak, the first pass into North Korea? Why did you go to Xiangshan instead?"

More than ten thousand soldiers, all harbored such doubts, but no one explained it to them.

In the next few days, Gao Shun also changed his previous marching speed like traveling in mountains and rivers. More than a hundred warships headed south at full speed without stopping. None of the counties have even stopped for a quarter of an hour.

Three days later, the fleet crossed the Yalu River and entered Neiheyuan, and the forward distance was only more than fifty miles away from Xiangshan.

The topography of the Yalu River is already in the extension of the eastern end of the Qinling Mountains. The terrain is gradually rising, and the water is becoming turbulent and dangerous, which is no longer suitable for boats.

Therefore, Gao ordered by the way that the whole army abandoned the ship and landed, and continued to march toward the Xiangshan collar in the northwest at a rapid march.

It wasn't until this time that the soldiers of the three armies, who had been confused for several days, understood their general's real combat intentions.

It was only then that everyone came to their senses. It turned out that Gao Shun's big fanfare for the past few days was to attack Jiangjun Peak. It turned out that all of them were plots by suspicious soldiers, and the real purpose was to attack Xiangshan by surprise.

The doubts were all gone, and the [-] soldiers trapped in the camp immediately ignited their fighting spirit.

The previous failures would always cause the Chu army to hate the Korean army. Now, it was finally their turn to launch a counterattack against the Korean army's territory. How could the anger of revenge not ignite in the hearts of all the soldiers.

Under the agitation of blood, all the thirty thousand generals were in high spirits, followed their general Gao Shun, and rushed all the way to Xiangshan.

And the reason why he worked so hard this time was because, as the king of Chu who paid attention to cavalry combat, he always put the cavalry at the top of the list. The position of the infantry was relatively low, and as the most elite camp, he was naturally unhappy.

From the Yalu River to Xiangshan, there are several small roads besides the main road.

In order to attack the North Korean army suddenly, Gao Shun, in addition to the previous trick to confuse the enemy, approached Xiangshan at this time, and deliberately chose a small road to avoid being detected by the North Korean army's scouts on the road.

The small road is far larger than the rough road. Although the soldiers only carried three days of food and grass and traveled lightly, in order to attack the city, Gao Shun had to carry a large number of siege equipment such as ladders. These heavy equipment required soldiers. to carry.

Even so, the [-] athletes were all high-spirited, sweating profusely, panting with exhaustion, but no one complained.

After a day of marching on the mountain road, at dusk that day, Gao Shun and his army finally saw Xiangshan City.

On the slope of the Yuema Mountain, Gao Shun, who was covered in sweat, raised his eyes and saw that a few miles away, the majestic pass was bathed in the golden sunset.

On the avenue in front of Guancheng, caravans in twos and threes are still rushing to Xiangshan, trying to pass the customs before Yaohei retreat.

Although North Korea and Gao Shun are now in a state of semi-war, they both turn a blind eye to the non-governmental business exchanges in each other's ruled areas and adopt a policy of acquiescence.

Seeing that the caravans on the avenue were coming and going as usual, it meant that the defenders in Xiangshan City were not aware of the incoming army and had taken precautions beforehand. Gao Shun could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The exhausting strategy of attacking east and west, and the hard work of marching across mountains and mountains, now it seems that it was finally not in vain.

Behind them, those soldiers who climbed up the hill one after another, seeing the lax guard of Xiangshan City, their sweat-soaked faces were full of excitement and murderous intent.

"Where is Gan Ning?" Gao Shun sternly shouted.

"The end is here." Gan Ning pulled his horse forward and responded generously.

Gao Shun pointed his long sword and said loudly: "I ordered you to lead seven thousand vanguards to take Xiangshan directly. If you don't break through the pass city, you must not take half a step back!"

Gan Ning clasped his fists and said proudly: "General, don't worry, if you don't destroy Xiangshan, I will come to see you later."

After saying that, Gan Ning turned his horse around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: Brothers, Xiangshan is just ahead, it's a man who will follow me to conquer this pass for the king—"

Amidst the loud shouts, Gan Ning pulled his horse and grabbed the two halberds, and rushed down the hillside.

Thousands of soldiers trapped in the camp and the North Korean Zhongzhou infantry and navy, like beasts out of the cage, brandished weapons and carried ladders, surging down.

Gao Shun looked at Xiangshan Mountain from a distance, and then looked at his own soldiers rushing down all over the mountains and plains. On his sweat-stained face, a look of arrogance was burning wildly.

... Xiangshan City.

In the lobby of the military mansion, there was singing and dancing.

Protector General Jinlong was playing with the jade cup in his hand, sipping fine wine, and admiring the singing and dancing of maikos in front of the hall.

The generals present on the left and right are also drinking and having fun, so that they can live leisurely and happy.

But only the little general, Jin Xiaosheng, had a gloomy face full of anxiety.

"General, this Fragrant Hill is the southern gate of Guanzhong, defending against the Chu army. It may be inappropriate for the general to set up wine and dance here."

Jin Xiaosheng couldn't help dissuading him.

Jin Long showed a bit of displeasure, and said with a flat mouth: "The king of Joseon sent General Kim to follow me to the battlefield to kill the enemy. The general thought that the young general had a hard journey, so he set up a small banquet of singing and dancing. The young general just said that." It’s kind of chilling.”

Jin Xiaosheng coughed a few times, cupped his hands and said: "This trip is official business, why dare to say it's hard work. The general just thought that Gao Shun had sent troops from Liaoyang recently, but the general didn't seem to be vigilant here, so The last general felt a little worried."

"Xiao Jin's army is too worried. This general's detailed actions have been found out. Gao Shun led his army to attack Jiangjun Peak, and he did not intend to threaten Xiangshan. What's more, their general, the ever-victorious general Chen Dao, failed. , not to mention the unpopular Gao Shun"

Jin Long said disapprovingly.

Jin Xiaosheng's brows softened slightly, but he said again: "Although this is the case, Gao Shun's use of troops is cunning and unpredictable, so please be careful, general."

Jin Long laughed, raised his glass and said: "Little General, you are too careful, don't think so much, and have a few drinks with this general."

The golden dragon held up the jade cup, ready to send the wine to the throat.

At this moment, a member of the army rushed into the hall in a hurry and shouted: "General Qi, something is wrong, the Chu army is attacking a key point suddenly!"

Bang clang~~ The jade cup in Jinlong's hand fell out of his hand, and instantly shattered into pieces.

There is no next chapter, let's look at others first
