Chapter 166 165 An Invisible Hand
Legion battles in this era pay more attention to forming and breaking the formation. The purpose of cavalry is nothing more than two, heavy cavalry to break the formation, light cavalry to chase and kill and tear the corner formation.

From Baima Yi to Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, he has always adhered to this combat concept, so that when Lin Mo told Zhao Yun this idea, he still found it difficult to accept, and always felt that this set of tactics was a bit exaggerated and fantasy.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to control the formation, because it is always in high-speed movement, and the howling wind blows past the ears. Even Zhang Fei's voice cannot guarantee that everyone can hear the instructions.

But today, on the Qingzhou front, more than 300 people turned tens of thousands of troops around, but the other party still has nothing to do with you. Zhao Yun thinks that this kind of game will seriously suppress morale. To put it simply, it is annoying.

Seeing that Wen Chou, who came after him, was blushing with anger and his neck was thick, you can tell how much hatred he has in his heart.

The problem is that they can’t even catch up. The more than 300 cavalry brought by Zhao Yun are all adapted from Bingzhou wolf cavalry. In terms of riding skills and horse speed, it is not something that ordinary troops can pursue. He didn't accompany him, and he couldn't do anything but eat dirt after following him.

After chasing him for three or four miles, seeing that he was thrown too far, Wen Chou gritted his teeth and cursed: "You are a coward!"

Then, he led the people back to join the army, good guy, after walking a few steps, the sound of horseshoes came from behind him again.

With the help of this charge, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry slanted a round of arrow rain towards the two thousand cavalry led by Wen Chou, and the accuracy was a bit off. More than 300 arrows only shot over 40 cavalry.

However, this was enough to crush Wen Chou's back molars, and he completely lost his mind, cursing: "Scatter the pursuit, never die!"

This time he was really angry, and chased all the way to the foot of Qishan Mountain. Seeing Zhao Yun rushing into the forest with his cavalry, Wen Chou was afraid that there would be ambushes inside, so he dared not go deep and pursue him.

"Damn it, this Zhao Zilong is like a swarm of flies with this group of cavalry!" He was so angry, the veins on Wen Chou's forehead burst out, and he felt that his alveoli were about to burst.

He felt that he could beat Zhao Yun, but he would not fight with you, eh, just for fun.

"General, the cavalry can't get up from the mountain, we still stand on the flank of the army, lest this Zhao Zilong sneak attack again."

Han Ju's suggestion is quite reliable, Wen Chou also made sense after hearing it, and immediately looked at Zhao Rui, "Go to the son, and transfer the remaining [-] cavalry to protect the army and return to the camp before we withdraw !"

"Here!"

Not long after, Zhao Rui transferred the remaining cavalry from Yuan Tan, and followed the army to retreat slowly, defending the flanks.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun didn't come to sneak attack again after this, everyone finally let out a long sigh of relief, they were really afraid of being tossed about by them.

"Damn it, I didn't want to attack the stronghold, so I brought fewer crossbowmen and shield soldiers, otherwise the hundreds of cavalry would have been shot down!" Anxious Yuan Tan directly made a gesture of bow and arrow.

Hundreds of people came to stroke the tiger's beard, and they succeeded. When they came back and counted, more than 800 people were lost. Yuan Tan was very angry.

This point of death is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the 20 army. He is depressed that the morale he has finally suppressed is so easily broken back by him.

The most hateful thing is that if this trick doesn't work, then [-]% of them will have to attack by force. If I had known that I would still have to attack by force, it would be better to take advantage of the momentum of the rainbow at the beginning, Yuan Tan thought angrily.

"Sir, how should we deal with ourselves now?" Yuan Tan looked at Tian Feng and his eyes wandered over brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi.

Before Tian Feng could speak, there was a rush of footsteps, "Report! Just now, the enemy general swam hundreds of cavalry to the periphery to shoot and kill our sentry cavalry patrolling the night. Judging by the attire, it should be Zhao Yun in daytime.

General Zhao, who was on duty, led a team of cavalry to chase out, and Zhao Yun withdrew to the foot of Qishan Mountain and disappeared. "

Yuan Tan's face turned dark when he heard this, and he waved his hands to signal the sergeant to retreat, "This Zhao Zilong is like a rogue when fighting!"

There are only 50 sentry cavalry in a team. You are greedy for such military merits. Did you die of poverty in your previous life?
"My lord, the next sentence is still the same, Qishan must be occupied. In fact, if Qishan was occupied early in the morning, there would be no such thing. The cavalry led by Zhao Yun can be so rampant."

These words sounded a bit harsh, and the corners of Yuan Tan's mouth twitched.

The truth is true, if Qi Shan is under his control, the group of cavalry will definitely not be able to swim on the flank of the army, and the other side is a huge ocean, and it is even more impossible to gallop.

But what you said was too straightforward, no wonder father doesn't like you, Yuan Tan sighed, "Forget it, let the army go up to occupy the top of the mountain tomorrow."

Seeing that he was finally willing to adopt this suggestion, Tian Feng opened up and expressed his views, including how to use such terrain to fight.

Just as he was talking eloquently and spitting, a sergeant ran in again, "Report! Zhao Yun came again with his cavalry, and shot and killed a group of infantry patrolling the night outside our army's stronghold! They ran away after fighting General Zhao led the cavalry out of the gate and disappeared."

Yuan Tan: .
Tian Feng:.
Wen Chou was so angry that he held his spear and didn't even bother to ask for his life. He rushed out directly. He personally led a team of cavalry to wander outside the village, trying to fish and enforce the law.

It's a pity that I haven't seen Zhao Yun appear for a long time.

Yuan Tan looked around inside the gate, smiled at Wen Chou, and said, "You have to rely on the power of the general Huwei to deter Zhao Zilong's young people."

"The last general will kill him sooner or later!" Wen Chou was so angry at Zhao Yun during the day, and now that he has made two troubles, even a general like him feels a little tired.

Fortunately, the annoying Zhao Zilong has finally left. When Qishan is occupied tomorrow, if he dares to come again, he will kill himself.

After returning to the military tent, Yuan Tan took off his armor, lay down on the couch, stretched his waist, and let out a long, comfortable sound.
When he was drowsy, there was a horn sounding against the enemy, and he sat up suddenly, no good, the enemy attacked!
Yuan Tan quickly put on his armor, picked up the sword on the side soldier and rushed out, only to see that there was a panic outside, Wen Chou, Han Ju and others also came in armor and raised troops to guard the tent of the Chinese army.

As long as there is no problem here, it doesn't matter if the corners are broken.

As a result, after waiting for a long time without hearing the sound of fighting, Yuan Tan finally saw Zhao Rui running over, and Yuan Tan hurriedly asked, "What happened!"

"It was Zhao Zilong who led the group of cavalry past the village."

"He didn't come in again, why did he blow the horn?" Wen Chou asked.

Zhao Ruiqi's right fist slammed on the horse's back, and even the mount let out a long cry in shock, "Where did our people blow the horn? It was that damned Zhao Zilong who led the troops past while blowing the horn, brothers and sisters!" If the situation is unknown, it will be blown."

Ah this
Understood, because of the enhanced security around the perimeter and the establishment of four teams of crossbowmen, Zhao Yun couldn't sneak up on the sentry cavalry like before, and instead used the method of scaring the enemy.

If before, Wen Chou would scold Zhao Zilong for being a coward, but now, he was laughed at.

This is a deep sense of powerlessness, no matter how skilled you are in martial arts, there is nothing you can do about them.

You must know that this camp can accommodate 7 to [-] people, and its length, width, and width are as large as you can imagine. If you want to surround them all to prevent Zhao Yun from approaching, how many people will it take?

"Let the brothers be careful." Yuan Tan waved his hand feebly.

Whether he would like to admit it or not, Yuan Tan really regretted it, and he should really listen to Tian Feng, and occupy Qi Shan first, and the other party will not be able to play this game anymore.

It's not a very clever method. Even if he is still in the open plain area before, Zhao Yun's trick will not be effective, as long as he blocks the outer passages.

The problem is that the terrain here is limited by Qishan Mountain. Zhao Yun and the others hid in the mountain after running around and wreaking havoc. There was no place to find anyone. Otherwise, they had run so many times, and it was absolutely impossible for them to catch up with the Northland Kuaiqi of.

Although the perimeter security was strengthened later, Qishan could not stand too close, Zhao Yun seized the opportunity and ran over to lead someone to blow the horn, and hundreds of people disturbed the camp of tens of thousands of people.

After dawn, everyone in the Beiguo Army had dark circles under their eyes, and yawned long, come on, today, it is impossible to live without Qi Shan being occupied.

It's a pity that the Northern Army had just reached the mountainside when they saw the big banner of "Gao" and "Zhao" floating on the top of the mountain, and hurried down the mountain to report the matter to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan's face turned dark when he heard this, "Impossible, the camp according to the size you said can accommodate at least 5000 people, and it can't stand up in less than two days. How can it be possible that the scouts wander around a lot this day? I didn't know they built a stronghold on the mountain!"

"Son, it's true, the last general also saw that camp." Han Ju, who led the team back, said helplessly.

This matter is too weird, how could an extra cottage come out out of thin air, Yuan Tan looked at Tian Feng and the Xin family brothers, and saw that the three of them also looked dazed.

"understood."

Xin Pi frowned and looked at Yuan Tan, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I guess it must be the day before yesterday when we beheaded Wei Xu and defeated Lu's army, we set up an ambush in the stronghold, and that's when Lu Bu sent a group of people to the mountain to set up a stronghold. "

Yuan Tan showed the original expression on his face. At that time, everyone's attention was not on Qi Shan, and he suddenly said: "So, Zhao Yun has been pestering last night, it must be that the army camp has not been completed, I am afraid we will find out, yes That's right, it must be!"

He rubbed his hands excitedly at first, and then his heart sank. It's meaningless to guess, now Dazhai is complete.

According to the terrain of Qishan, 5000 people guard it, and 5 people may not be able to attack it. I regret not listening to Tian Feng's words.

Yuan Tan was not in a hurry to take over before because he thought that with such a small group of people as Lu Bu, he would not dare to divide his troops hastily. It's just arranged.

"My lord, if this is the case, I suggest that you immediately retreat to Dazhai in the rear, where the influence of Qishan is much less." Tian Feng stood up and bowed.

Three large villages were set up fifteen miles behind, defending each other, and there was a distance from Qishan Mountain. Among other things, Zhao Yun's tactics of harassment would definitely be difficult to play.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about the risk of being flanked in the follow-up. To put it bluntly, once the army retreats to the rear Dazhai, the military fort on Qishan will lose its strategic significance and become just a forward watchtower.

"What? The great stronghold was built yesterday, and it retreated today. Don't you think that the soldiers are enjoying building the stronghold?"

Wen Chou was not happy when he heard it, and directly cupped his hands and said: "Lu Jun has set up a stronghold and we will take it. Please allow me ten thousand elite soldiers, and I will definitely come down to this stronghold before dark!"

"Qishan Mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the general must not act rashly." Even Xin Ping, who is also a radical, disagrees with this approach.

"Young master, our northern army has always only known how to charge, and has never retreated. Now that our army has an absolute superiority in strength, but we have to retreat fifteen miles. This will not only make Lu Bu laugh, but also make the soldiers' hearts turbulent. Will never approve of retreating!"

"The last general will second the proposal!"

"The last general also seconded!"

Wen Chou is like a tiger that has been imprisoned for a long time, and it is about to be released. Now you tell him that it is acceptable to continue to be imprisoned in another place.

Moreover, when he said this, Han Ju, Zhao Rui and others also echoed, and Tian Feng's voices were directly drowned out.

Seeing this, Yuan Tan suppressed his hand to stop the furious fighting intent. He twisted his neck and smiled, "I didn't say I would withdraw, but before I figured out a way to defeat the enemy , General Lao will stabilize the camp, and don't let Xiaoxiao's generation wreak havoc again."

"Please don't worry, my lord. I will be on duty at the end of tonight. If Zhao Zilong dares to come, he will never come back!" Wen Chou slapped his chest, full of confidence.

"Okay, generals, let's go back and rest." Yuan Tan made a gesture of invitation, and the group bowed and retreated.

In the tent, when only Tian Feng and the Xin family brothers were left, Yuan Tan walked up to the three of them, bowed humbly, "Gentlemen, I have my own reasons why I can't withdraw from the army. I don't want to discuss this. I ask for your understanding, gentlemen.

Now, I hope that my husband can teach me how to defeat the enemy and help me regain Qishan. "

The generals were sent away because they didn't want to be looked down upon by them because of their low profile, but Yuan Tan's modest behavior was extremely useful for literati and Confucian scholars.

The meaning in the words is also very clear. As for me, it is impossible to retreat. There is a reason, and I can’t tell you what the reason is. Now there is a way to take down Qishan. You can find a way.

The Xin family brothers understood people, so they nodded directly. They were originally Yuan Tan's supporters.

Tian Feng wanted to speak several times, but Yuan Tan directly interrupted him, "Sir, I have made up my mind, and it is impossible to change my mind even if I say Po Tian today, let's find a way to go down to Mount Qi."

Tian Feng felt that this was a bit unbelievable. It is obvious that the threat of Qishan's stronghold can be eliminated by retreating for fifteen miles. Why did he choose to attack the stronghold that is extremely difficult?

Having said all this, Tian Feng can do nothing but agree, "I'll do my best."

However, his heart has always been uneasy, and he always feels that there seems to be an invisible hand pushing the situation towards the established direction.

 I had a fever of 39 degrees last night, and my body was still unbearable under the scorching sun. I hope all readers take care of themselves.

  Originally, I wanted to ask for leave today, but after thinking about it, I rushed out the first chapter, and I was rushed out in the hospital on a drip, and then Chapter 2 can only be written after the fever subsides, so I will try to come out today.

  In view of the fact that I dare not ask for leave when I am sick, readers, please forgive me for the disordered update time these days, after all, the number of words is not short at all.
