Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 3475 East and West Camp Gate

Fei Qian held his sword and sat on the horse.

Although Fei Qian knew that there might be problems with Lu Chang's defense plan, he still wanted to attack.

There is a high probability that it is not Lu Chang's problem, but that Cao Jun is using such methods to lure him to attack!

This is a bit like a conspiracy, but there is also a hint of conspiracy...

If Fei Qian doubts this part of the defense plan, then he may not attack, or conduct a tentative attack, instead of pressing most of the troops as now, so the result will inevitably be a delay for some time, and finally As a result, Fei Qian's pace was slowed down and he was unable to successfully join forces with Tongguan troops.

If Fei Qian believed in this defense map, then attacking along the defense map would definitely fall into Cao Jun's trap!

Because Lu Chang only knew the layout of the soldiers and did not know where the trap was.

Although Fei Qian and Sima Yi roughly judged that it should be near Zhongtiao Mountain Road after research, it is difficult to know what kind of trap it is...

Under such circumstances, Fei Qian still launched an attack, not because he was proud that he would not fall into a trap, but because he received the news that Tongguan had marched.

The army fights in separate battlefields, that's how it is. It's hard to say that the front, back, and rear parts are just in place. We can only try our best, but we can't achieve perfection.

The terrain of Tongguan is not good.

This is not only for Cao Jun, but also for the Hussars.

If they enter the Heluo area, then the Tongguan branch, which is like a long snake, will undoubtedly be the most dangerous and most vulnerable to attack.

Therefore, Fei Qian must secure the Zhongtiao Mountain camp as soon as possible and open up the road to Heluo.

Fei Qian knew that this could not be blamed on Pang Tong and others' impatience. After all, the situation on the battlefield changed, and it was difficult to say that they would be able to implement the plan in advance.

Fei Qian looked towards the south, thinking silently.

Beside him, the flag bearer held the flag of the General Hussars high.

Under the dusk light, the flag looked full of blood and splendor.

This flag is very big and naturally very heavy. It is not easy for the flag bearer to hold the flag stably for a long time. Although most of the time, Fei Qian will not move and only needs to fix the flag, but when Fei Qian moves, the flag-bearer must follow immediately, instead of shouting for the hussar to wait, The flag hasn’t been pulled up yet…

Just like the war in front of you, you don't need to fight, but once it starts, you must act immediately without any hesitation or delay.

Xu Chu and Sima Yi served as frontline commanders, while Fei Qian was in charge of the central army.

The three-color flag rolled over the loess, rushing towards the Zhongtiao Mountain camp like a rushing flood.

In the Chinese army's position, Fei Qian was dressed in military armor with a serious expression.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, his armor and battle robe were shrouded in a layer of golden light.

If he wins, someone will definitely say that they saw Fei Qian's resolute face, firm eyes, and strong momentum at this moment...

Anyway, as strong as you want.

If you lose, you become a "traitor", and it's not even worth mentioning...

History is written by the winners, and the losers are not qualified to say anything.

Fei Qian not only ruled Guanzhong militarily, but also established institutions such as the Qinglong Temple culturally, economically controlled the business roads of Jiaozhou in the snowy region of the Western Regions, and even blessed the mystery of the five gods in terms of belief. Only then did Fei Qian have a unique voice in Guanzhong.

So, what about the Central Plains?

What about the whole big man?

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Fei Qian was thoughtful.

It's just that over the years, Fei Qian's control and management of expressions have not been perfect, but he can be regarded as an intruder. Therefore, when most people see Fei Qian, they can't tell whether Fei Qian is distracted or paying attention to what is in front of him. The battle situation.

To be honest, Fei Qian is now more like a follower with a halo, adding a layer of BUFF to the soldiers and generals fighting on the front line, and does not actively participate in the front line fighting, so Fei Qian only needs to stand here now...

After all, fight against the five scum.

The soldiers of Cao's army in Zhongtiao Mountain have been severely beaten by the harassment tactics of the past two days. However, for the soldiers of the Hussars, there is also a consumption of physical strength and endurance. If they cannot win this time, then they have no choice but to retreat. , let’s wait until the siege equipment comes up.

In addition to Fei Qian thinking about this problem, in which part of Zhongtiao Mountain will the trap be located?

Is it near the north entrance, in the mountain road, or somewhere else?

Speaking of which, Fei Qian has fought quite a few battles, especially foreign battles.

Fei Qian had fought against the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiqiang, etc., but this war was different from the wars Fei Qian had fought before.

When your own people beat your own people, winning is not a happy thing.

There is no happiness, but I have to think, calculate, and judge desperately...

Behind him, group after group of hussars and infantry were still gathering. One queue after another continued to take shape, then expand and advance...

Fighting without formation is tantamount to being a hooligan.

There is no exception in ancient and modern times.

Although Fei Qian won't engage in any trickery, the most basic array is still relatively strict in the training code. After all, in ancient times when communication functions were basically zero, military tactics mainly relied on formations.

Although there are flags and orders, small-scale battles are possible. Once the battle line stretches for several miles or even more than ten miles, there will be a big problem. Even if you use messengers to run, there will be a high delay. Moreover, on the battlefield, the messenger is also a high-risk profession. Anyone who sees the opponent's messenger will take a stab at him.

Fei Qian's array today is the most common outflanking with two wings and a breakthrough in the center.

This formation has probably been used by humans during hunting in ancient times, and it is also the simplest and most common array.

Whether it is used well depends on the general's control ability and the quality of the soldiers.

It just so happens that on Feiqian's side, these two points are advantages.

It's not just shooting the natives with guns to activate the unparalleled grass-cutting mode.

The great Han Dynasty in history can be said to have stepped into the era of cavalry. The era of cavalry came to an end in the Yuan Dynasty, and only later did the age of firearms come, and only later did the so-called multi-arms coordination, sea, land and air combat come about.

Therefore, the tactical rules of each era are adapted to each era. For example, Fei Qian is now cheating and moving firearms to the present. Cao's soldiers can still hold up for a while, which is already considered very good. Think about the Age of Discovery. A few Spanish muskets destroyed a huge kingdom in America and tortured its king to death. Perhaps in this way, the artillery bombardment of the cavalry at Bali Bridge is not the worst performance. .

The development of military technology often brings about changes in the form of warfare.

Feiqian's current war queue has gradually become closer to the use of firearms and how to use firearms better.

Just like a chariot gives way to a war horse, and a war horse gives way to a machine gun.

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was originally an era when the heavy-armed elite infantry of the Central Plains ruled the roost. Just like Ju Yi destroyed the Baima Yicong in one fell swoop, the organized and equipped elite heavy infantry had strong restraint and destruction against the loose light cavalry. ability.

So after Cao Cao inherited Er Yuan's infantry unit and took control of the Qingzhou Army, he should have had a strong advantage in the military formation, but Fei Qian came...

It is precisely because of this mutually reinforcing relationship that China's current battlefield situation is gradually showing the effect of a hundred flowers blooming. All kinds of mature cold weapons are still the mainstream at the moment, but hot weapons are also like brilliant strong sounds, occasionally roaring in the battlefield overture, bringing out a wave of rhythm.

Although the heavy cavalry is still very strong, it is no longer completely crushing. All types of cold weapon arms have matured during this period, and there is no longer a completely dominant arm. Although Fei Qian still maintains a certain number of heavy-armed lancers, he no longer puts all his chips on these heavy-armed lancers. At the same time, the general cavalry has gradually begun to abandon heavy long weapons.

The eight-sided horse spear used by traditional lancers, with eight sides, eight hearts and eight arrows, has gradually turned into a combination of spear and sword. It's not because the horse is not good, but because it is so good that it takes time, trouble and effort. To play the horse well requires a lot of effort, and if you put in a lot of effort, you may not be able to block it on the battlefield. Let the three spears go up together...

There are also those who transformed from lancers to horse archers...

Fei Qian is very happy to see these changes and takes an encouraging attitude towards these changes.

What ancestral method?

The ancestral method is to change according to the times and the situation!

Before the war begins, no one knows what the opponent's tactical deployment will be like or how the reserve team will be used. However, excellent generals will decide the tactics and strategies they should adopt based on the enemy's combat habits and troop deployment, as well as the reconnaissance of the battlefield before the war begins, and the battlefield situation after the confrontation begins.

If infantry is used, how should the infantry be organized?

If you use cavalry, should you send cavalry to surround it from the outside, or should you send cavalry to suddenly rush in from the middle?

How should the infantry cooperate when the cavalry attacks? Under the cover of infantry, what kind of tactical actions should the cavalry make to threaten or even severely injure the opponent?

If, as a commander, you cannot draw conclusions immediately when the battlefield changes, then it is best to be like Fei Qian, hand over the frontline command of the battlefield and just be a mascot yourself.

However, even if he is acting as a mascot, Fei Qian still needs to give corresponding instructions according to the battlefield reports from the frontline commanding generals and military schools. He cannot just stand still and hang up.

A captain came galloping from behind, rolled his saddle and dismounted, saluted and reported: "Your Majesty, the troops and horses under my command have been assembled and assembled!" Please give the order, my lord! 』

Fei Qian nodded, "Bring more rockets and be on standby, ready to attack at any time!" 』

The captain responded loudly.

The captain got on his horse and was about to leave. Several messengers had already come around the team from the front.

"Report!" The gate on the west side of Cao Jun's camp has been broken through! 』

"Here comes the hussar!" Cao Jun's east camp gate has been captured! Song leader Liu Erlang died in battle! 』

"Report!" There is a sudden movement of Cao's army in the mountains! 』

Fei Qian's eyebrows twitched. He had no time to feel sad about the lives lost. Instead, he stared at the last messenger and asked, "What's the situation? Please report it in detail!" 』

"Cao Jun saw soldiers moving on the mountain road!" They are all armored soldiers! The banner is the Central Guard Army! ” replied the messenger.

Although the messenger only knew a general idea, Fei Qian also judged that Cao Jun must be preparing to use a trap.

Gunpowder, or kerosene trap.

Fei Qian immediately ordered, "Send the order!" Let Captain Chen attack immediately! Support General Xu! Use more rockets to ignite the place where Cao's army is! Break the trap to avoid it! 』

The captain just now shouted loudly and rushed forward with his troops roaring.

Fei Qian stopped talking and just sat upright on the horse and looked in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain.

At this time, the blood-red sunset has long faded, and the vast night has not completely enveloped the earth. All colors are gradually changing from bright to gray and black.

The firelight gradually became more obvious, and the outline of the Zhongtiao Mountain camp became clearer.

While listening to the shouts and killing sounds, Fei Qian nervously calculated and judged the current situation. It was expected that Cao Jun's outer camp gates on the east and west sides would be breached, but the outer perimeter was not the key, the key was the North Pass!

The passage to the North Pass must be opened to ensure that the next series of actions can be carried out smoothly!

And if you want to open Beidaokou, you must clear the trap set by Cao Jun at Beidaokou!

There are many passages in Zhongtiao Mountain.

It's not that these passages cannot be walked, but that they are either too biased or too narrow. For example, the passage of Suoyang Pass can also be used by people and horses, but if you want to use baggage vehicles and advance siege equipment to Heluo, then there is only one option.

So far, the overall progress has been relatively smooth. Although there are soldiers injured, it is inevitable.

But Fei Qian had a vague feeling that there would definitely be some changes and it wouldn't always be so smooth.

As for where this variable lies, Fei Qian hasn't figured it out yet.

Fei Qian was thinking when suddenly the guard beside him said loudly: "Lord!" Fire breaks out in the east! 』

Fei Qian responded and turned to look east.

I saw a large area of ​​darkness in the east, and suddenly there was a ball of fire that flickered on and off. After a while, it illuminated the eastern front line clearly!

Fei Qian looked up at the flag behind him and smiled, "There is only northwest wind here!" 』

There is a southeasterly wind in Chibi, but there is no such thing as a pig brother’s way of ascending the altar...

When the flames rose in the camp of Cao Jun's Zhongtiao Mountain, Dong Zhao's face suddenly turned ugly.

Although the camp at Zhongtiao Mountain was somewhat damaged by the Hussars' attack, it would not collapse immediately!

There are three levels inside and outside the Zhongtiao Mountain camp. If the outer layer is broken, there is also a middle circle. If the middle circle is broken, you can still retreat to the third level. Retreating layer by layer and retreating step by step is what Dong Zhao wants, but Now…

Under the dancing firelight, it can be seen that the wall outside Zhongtiao Mountain has been destroyed in many places, forming four or five large and small passages. Inside and outside these passages, soldiers from both sides are fighting for each other. and fight.

Between the outer and middle circles, corpses were everywhere.

Some horses were pushed to the ground, mixed with the corpses of people and horses.

Someone was trapped in the horse pit, or it was destroyed. Under the firelight, it looked like a piece was missing in the east and a little black in the west.

On the key roads, the fighting between the two sides was the most brutal, and the most people died...

Under such fierce fighting, the soldiers of Cao's army began to weaken. The messengers requesting reinforcements were sent to Dong Zhao like water. Everyone agreed, "We have suffered heavy losses and are about to collapse. Without reinforcements, we have suffered heavy losses." , that is death! 』

When Dong Zhao heard these calls for help, his reply was unanimous, "Send it right away!" Keep holding on! 』

But will Dong Zhao really send reinforcements?

Obviously impossible.

Dong Zhao would not send out a single soldier.

The reason was simple. Dong Zhao didn't know whether the military schools who came to ask for help were telling the truth or lies.

If a crying child gets milk, the next moment all the children will be crying!

Who is really crying and who is fake crying?

Who is really suffering and who is pretending to be miserable?

When it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, the only result is to regard everything as false.

So what if it is true?

It's actually quite simple. At the end of the day, you just have to step forward with a sad face and say, "Ah, I've suffered so much. I'm late..."

Everyone knows that there are problems with this, and the problems will get bigger as time goes by, but no one wants to be without milk, so everyone is moaning...

Dong Zhao is facing this kind of problem now. He can't tell who is really in pain and who is fake, so he simply ignores them and doesn't dispatch them.

But if this happens, Cao Jun's soldiers will inevitably have some problems!

No, there's a fire in the east!

"What's going on?" ! Dong Zhao was furious, "How many people are there in the east?" Why was it set on fire? ! 』

Dong Zhao knew that the Zhongtiao Mountain Road was the main attack target of the Hussars. It was stretched from the east and west sides. There were not many soldiers and horses sent, but it couldn't hold it?

You can tell at a glance that this fire is not a small fire lit by a rocket, but a kerosene trap originally reserved for the Hussars!

"Damn!" 』

Dong Zhao was furious.

"Someone is coming!" Follow our military orders! Kill the man guarding the East Gate Military Academy on the spot! 』

It's not time to set fire yet!

And this will also lead to bad chain reactions!

"quick! Dong Zhao shouted, "Send the order quickly!" No arson is allowed! No fire is allowed without orders! 』

Although Dong Zhao's reaction is not too slow, the shortcomings of the current communication of the Han Dynasty are not only limited to the Hussar side. Even within the same camp, Dong Zhao is still far away from the east and west sides. It's three or four miles away, and it's a mountain road!

Cao Jun's messengers rushed out in a hurry, but not long after, a bigger fire also rose!

I don’t know whether the fire was ignited by the Hussars or whether Cao’s soldiers put it on their own...

The fire blocked the hussars on the eastern front, but it was obvious that Cao's soldiers in these places where the flames rose were also disintegrating!

"broken! broken! Damn it! Damn it! 』

Dong Zhao couldn't help but stamp his feet and shouted that it was not good.

The situation is like this, what should he do now?
