The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() The Kwantung Allied Forces sent troops to attack Hulao this time, and the deployment of troops was obviously different from the previous one. This was an improvement obtained by learning the lessons from the previous attack on Yangcheng.In the previous attack on Yangcheng, the coalition forces of more than a dozen groups appeared to be a whole group of troops, but in fact they acted independently, so just a small Yangcheng blocked their footsteps for several months, and even a few groups of troops changed their ways. It is more than half of the loss, and the combat effectiveness has dropped significantly.

The reason is that the leaders and generals of several groups of people have their own selfish motives.On the one hand, they want to preserve their own strength, but on the other hand, they hope that other troops will fight the enemy desperately. If they share the same heart, the battle will naturally not go smoothly.

But this time, in order to prevent the same thing from happening again, Yuan Shao and the others made some changes in the deployment of troops. The troops were no longer separated, but mixed together.Although the movements of the troops of each battalion are still subject to the orders of the head general, once they are on the battlefield, it is impossible to protect themselves in such a chaotic situation.

And this countermeasure is even more obvious in the forward army.The forward force of tens of thousands of people on this route included the troops of the three princes-Kong Rong, Liu Dai and Zhang Miao.The three groups of people each mobilized thousands of elites to form this vanguard team that would break through the mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and wipe out the enemy.But their chief general is still in the central army at this time, so they don't have to worry about the problem that they will stagnate once they encounter setbacks in the front.

Since this vanguard army is composed of three groups of people, there are also three generals who can give orders. They are Xu Jie from Kong Rong's army, Gan Lin from Liu Dai's army, and Huang Chao from Zhang Miao's army.Now, as the men and horses entered the vicinity of Hulao Pass, seeing the terrain getting more and more dangerous, the three of them got together to discuss.

But this discussion led to a disagreement. Xu Jie believed that safety should be the priority in such a rugged and dangerous place, and he should not make rash advances.But Huang Chao said that this time their army's morale was high, how could it be blocked by a mere mountain road, they should move forward as soon as possible to open the way for the army behind.As for Gan Lin, he has no opinion of his own, and thinks that both are acceptable, so the first two argued in the tent for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with an accurate idea, so they had to suspend the troops temporarily, and sent someone to ask the Chinese army for instructions , Let the generals above make a decision for themselves.

This is the disadvantage of Yuan Shao's use of troops like this. When several groups of people are mixed together, it is difficult to have a unified opinion when there are differences. In the end, everyone in the Chinese army can only make a decision after discussion.And this will inevitably delay the fighter, thus affecting the success or failure of the entire battle

Of course, there are two sides to the matter, but what Xu Jie and the others did now helped them a lot, because they didn't know that there were already [-] Xiliang soldiers ambushing on the mountain road not far from their garrison. There, waiting to deal a head-on blow once they got into the ambush.Now they temporarily stopped their progress because they couldn't reach a consensus, and they just didn't step into the trap.

However, good luck can only last for a period of time, because they don't know that at the same time they stopped fighting, Yuan Shao, the leader of the coalition army, just received the news that his uncle and Luoyang family were killed. He was determined to fight Xiliang Dong Zhuo desperately.

So when their request for instructions was passed on to the Chinese army, Yuan Shao insisted on advancing at full speed, making sure that Chen Bing was imprisoned in a short time, and then used a big victory to pay homage to the dead relatives.

"Pioneers, go ahead of the army, in the hope of being able to defeat the enemy. As vanguards, you don't think about how to defeat the enemy first, but you use fear to make excuses. Advance at full speed, but if there are enemy troops in the way, we will eradicate them all, and we must not procrastinate. Otherwise, we will be punished as collaborators!"

A very strict military order from Yuan Shao was brought back. After seeing this military order, Huang Chao was overjoyed: "I said earlier, as vanguards, we shouldn't stop because of some doubts." Come down, now you are reprimanded by the Chinese army, Xu Jie, you have to take full responsibility!"

Xu Jie had no choice but to smile bitterly. He said and did what he should say and do. Now that the Chinese army has issued this order, he can only obey the order.I just hope that everything is my own unfounded worry, otherwise...

In the early morning of the next day, this vanguard army set off again, striding into the ambush circle set up by Hua Xiong.

?????

Just when the group of people stopped suddenly tens of miles away, Hua Xiong, who was ambushing on both sides of the Kip Road, got the news.This made him really embarrassed. He wondered if the other party saw something wrong and stopped suddenly.He even thought about killing them and confronting this group of people head-on.Because he had found out clearly that this group of troops was the vanguard of the Kwantung Allied Forces, and their strength was no more than ten thousand, not as large as the troops he brought with him. He was very sure of winning the battle.

But soon, Hua Xiong dismissed this idea.Because this idea came from Ma Yue, before Hua Xiong dispatched troops, Ma Yue came to see him specially and said to him: "General Hua, do you want to make great contributions?"

"Of course! I lost Yangcheng before, so naturally I need a big effort to make up for it."

"Then please do as I said below, and don't be in a hurry to fight. As long as we set up an ambush, once the enemy crashes in, we will surely win a big victory. Moreover, if my expectations are not bad, the enemy There must not be many people in the first group. If you can wipe them all out and clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, you may be able to lure another group of people into the trap. Therefore, if the general wants to make great contributions to offset the previous mistakes, he must sink Hold on!"

Hua Xiong remembered Ma Yue's words in his heart, so when several generals around him said they would take the initiative to attack, they were all rejected by him: "No, wait! If they really find out Our ambush will definitely take some action. It will not be too late for us to kill the past, and it is still safe for now."

In this way, Hua Xiong led his army to continue to wait on the Kip Road, waiting for two days.Finally, Huang Tian paid off, and when it was almost noon two days later, the scouts sent to monitor the enemy's movements hurried back and reported that the enemy was marching here again, and this time the marching speed was even faster Up a few points.

"Okay! It seems that this is also a gesture they deliberately made out of caution. Once they enter the ambush circle later, they are not allowed to attack without my order. This time, the general will wipe them all out!" Hua Xiong's eyes flickered. Said with a fierce light.

"Here!" All the generals under his command who were in charge of ambush from all sides agreed in a low voice, as if they were worried that the enemy who was more than ten miles away would hear their voices.

After noon, at the end of the mountain road as far as I could see, I finally saw a flag flying high.When they saw this flag appear, everyone's spirits were lifted suddenly, and many archers had drawn out their arrows and put them on the strings.However, the soldiers who were about to rush down the mountain road to fight the enemy put down all their weapons, in case the reflection of the weapons would attract the attention of the enemy.

Time passed by in this somewhat dull and tense situation, and the enemy gradually approached. The sentry cavalry in the front had already stepped into the ambush circle.

But Hua Xiong didn't give the order to attack. He remembered very clearly that Ma Yue said that if he wanted to make a great contribution, he must completely trap the people in the ambush circle, and not let anyone escape.Therefore, in this battle, you must be calm, find the most suitable time, and then give the enemy a head-on blow.

After seeing that the dozens of people who were tempted safely passed the steep and difficult road in front of him, Xu Jie, who was still cautious, heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Gan Lin beside him: "It seems that this is indeed a little too careful. , the Xiliang army should not have set any trap here."

"Hmph, as I said earlier, the Xiliang army has been terrified by us, so why would they set up an ambush far away from the Hulao pass? Besides, the terrain here is not conducive to cavalry combat at all. It is their cavalry that will kill the enemy, how can it be possible to fight us here?" Huang Chao said disapprovingly, and then ordered the army to speed up to pass through this stone gap. A few tens of miles further forward, you will arrive at Hulao Pass, where you can start a new round of battle with the enemy.

Following this order, the forward speed of the vanguard team was a bit faster than before, and the neat defensive formation became disorganized.The sound of men and horses advancing rang out in the tunnel, and at the moment of some confusion, there was a bang of clappers on the tunnel.

Just when all the soldiers looked up the mountain in confusion, they heard a strange sound of "Woo", and a black shadow covering the sky and the sun flew out from the mountain road.When they looked carefully again, they realized that the ones flying towards them were actually sharp arrows!

And as the bang sounded, countless Xiliang soldiers armed with knives and guns rose from the mountain continuously, and then rushed down shouting and killing.In the blink of an eye, they broke through the defense line of the Kwantung Allied Forces, which had been completely collapsed by random arrows, and started a fight with the main force in the middle!

Soon after the battle started, it showed a one-sided trend. After being attacked suddenly, the vanguard team collapsed in an instant.Because it came so suddenly, it knocked out their resistance, especially the sharp arrow shot from top to bottom, it killed two generals Huang Chao and Gan Lin in one fell swoop, Xu Jie was also injured and fell off the horse , The entire team has lost its commander.

When the sky darkened, the ambush was over.With less than 1000 casualties, Hua Xiong wiped out all the ten thousand enemy troops.Even if there were escapees, there were only a few. This battle really made Hua Xiong angry, and it also made him admire Ma Yue, the one who designed the ambush this time.
