Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 193 Talking about Countermeasures 2
The grassland was not as dark as imagined. There were many stars tonight, but even the fine weather could not hide the dangerous atmosphere in the dark night. The howling of wolves came from time to time, and many recruits couldn't sleep because of the noise.

The veterans are better, even if they wake up, they will squint their eyes and try to rest as much as possible. Maintaining sufficient physical strength is the greatest protection for themselves.

However, after a while, when most of the recruits were still tossing and turning on the blankets, many veterans suddenly opened their eyes and picked up their weapons.

Because, just now, these veterans felt the sound of horseshoes in the distance through the weapons on their pillows. It is late at night, so it should not be something wrong with their own side. Anyway, the situation is a bit unusual now, and most veterans are ready to fight at all times .

While the veterans were busy, many generals had already been sent to organize the soldiers to line up. However, the generals did not order to attack. They were waiting. Although many veterans also had doubts in their hearts, they would not fight until the military order was issued. Ask more.

Finally, the sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, and many recruits finally knew that there was a dangerous atmosphere. Many more vigilant recruits were already putting on their clothes, and some ran out with weapons. Although those experienced generals were directing , However, most of the recruits who faced this emergency situation for the first time panicked.

More than half of the recruits managed to prepare for the battle under the command of the lieutenants, but there were still a few new recruits running around like headless chickens, and at the same time they kept grabbing the people around them and asking if the enemy had attacked.

This kind of recruits, whether they are the enemy's spies or not, has already affected the emotions of other recruits. Some recruits who have already formed a formation have the intention of wavering, but fortunately they are stopped by the school lieutenants in time. The new recruits in the formation are all weapons and their front faces outward, and their backs are food and grass. In this way, the soldiers know that their backs are still safe, and the enemy will only appear from the front.

Some of the recruits who ran out of the camp were caught by the selection front army. The selection front army didn't care whether they were friendly troops or not. They are not ruthless, otherwise, just such a stick is enough to kill these recruits.

As for the soldiers who yelled and disturbed the morale of the army, they were shot by some captains with excellent arrow skills. It was dark night. For the sake of the overall situation, even if these soldiers died, no one would pity them. There was no way. Soldiers with poor workmanship and poor psychological quality will bring unpredictable losses to their own people, and these captains have to do this as a last resort.

Not long after, horns sounded in the distance, which indicated that it was indeed an enemy attack. Then, a burst of torches appeared in the distance, and the sound of horseshoes followed. Looking at the situation, it might be the enemy attacking the door. , it seems that there is a good show to be staged.

However, when this group of enemy troops was more than 300 steps away from the new army, they did not attack again. Instead, they retreated and disappeared into the night.Immediately afterwards, the frontier troops on the periphery ran over in a relatively neat formation. Then, after the frontier troops in the camp exchanged signals with the frontier troops outside the camp, the frontier troops on the outer side retreated again.

The generals of the new army hurried to the captain of the Xuanfeng Army to inquire about the news. Finally, the generals said to the soldiers: "A small group of enemies came to sneak attack, but they have been repelled by the peripheral Xuanfeng Army. It's okay, you can go back to sleep."

The generals shouted at the top of their voices, and the recruits also knew the situation, and they were finally relieved. It seemed that although many recruits also hurriedly lined up, not many were ready to fight.

Even if there is no situation, the captains still seriously reprimand the recruits to return to the camp in order. At this time, if they disperse in a crowd, it is easy to cause accidents. As for the selection of the front army, it is much simpler. Under the command of the generals, The front-runners quickly went back to camp to sleep.

The recruits were stunned by the formation and retreat speed of the frontline army. Seeing the stupidity of the recruits, the school lieutenants cursed: "Whatever you look at, they are all elites. You rookies, hurry up for me,,,,,, "

Half an hour later, the camp was quiet again, and Dian Wei also walked into Gongsun Xu's big tent at this time and said: "My lord, all the recruits have returned to the camp, except for a few soldiers who were shot and injured because they shouted and disturbed the army's morale." , not much loss."

Gongsun Xu sighed and replied: "Understood, as long as nothing serious happens."

After hearing this, Dian Wei replied, "My lord, is it appropriate to do this?"

"This is a new training subject for our army. There is nothing suitable or inappropriate." Gongsun Xu replied solemnly: "Besides, getting injured at this time is better than losing your life on the battlefield. It can show that they chose the wrong path, luck is also an indispensable factor in order to survive the battlefield, in the future, don’t ask me such naive questions.”

Dian Wei bowed his head and said nothing, he understood that what Gongsun Xu did was right, at least, it was the best for the vast majority of people, even if there were some unlucky ones, there was nothing they could do about it, there was no way they would die in a war human.

After Dian Wei went out, Gongsun Xu said to himself: "This is the battlefield. What I can do is to ensure that more of my soldiers can survive. Sacrifice is inevitable."

,,,,,,

On the second day, loud and clear horns sounded in the camp, and the soldiers all set foot on the marching road again under the command of the officers. Gongsun Xu led the Chinese army to command the whole army to advance, and Huang Zhong had been arranged to lead the forward to explore. Lu, at the same time, also went to find out where the soldiers who came to meet him had gone.

After marching for more than an hour, a soldier ran to Gongsun Xu and said, "My lord, the two military advisors are here to invite you."

Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "Lead the way."

After Gongsun Xu arrived, Xi Zhi opened the curtain on the carriage and said, "My lord, this is compiled by Mr. Wen He and I. It is mainly based on the formation that you saw in the book you snatched from Luoyang last time." You are a master at using soldiers and proficient in formation drills for the chariot formations that you have compiled, so let’s see if there are any imperfections in this formation.”

Gongsun Xu took over the map of formations. Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu are indeed great talents. Last time, among the large number of books that Gongsun Xu brought back from Luoyang, there were many rare books on the art of war. Gongsun Xu also checked them out. The military division has also studied it. This chariot formation is really the essence of the Chinese nation's defense against foreign nomadic tribes.

Gongsun Xu looked at it for a while and said: "Generally there is no problem. The key is that the chariot and the grain transport vehicle should be combined into one. This will not only benefit the speed of our army's long-distance delivery of grain and grass, but also benefit our army In combat, as for the formation of the soldiers, I think it is almost the same.

After arriving at the barracks, let this task be handed over to Zheng Fang. When it comes to the formation of troops, in our army, except for Xu Rong, Zheng Fang is the most powerful. It shouldn't be a big problem to hand over the infantry to him. Or, in this expedition, most of our army will be cavalry generals, and I am afraid that the infantry will have to rely on the square.

At that time, the [-] new troops may only become truly elite after being trained by Zhengfang. Speaking of which, this Northern Expedition was planned by Zhengfang alone. When we get to the camp, I'm afraid we have to listen to what he thinks After all, he came here earlier and is more familiar with the situation here. "

Xi Zhicai nodded and replied: "Of course there is nothing to say about Zheng Fang's abilities. After the two armies meet, we should naturally listen to Zheng Fang's thoughts first."

Gongsun Xu nodded, and then said: "According to this marching speed, we should be able to join the cavalry who came to meet us before noon. I have already sent the Jingruo scouts fifty miles away, and I believe there will be news in a short time. Let's discuss and discuss in the carriage, and go to the front first to have a look."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu rode away, and Dian Wei led two hundred of the most brave Huben troops to follow Gongsun Xu to protect his safety.

After the army marched forward for more than half an hour, Huang Zhong sent someone in front to report that there was news of the cavalry coming to meet Gongsun Xu, and it was Zhao Yun's white-robed army who came to meet Gongsun Xu. He arrived at Gao Shun's camp two days ago. After getting familiar with the situation here, Gao Shun immediately arranged for Zhao Yun to come to meet Gongsun Xu.

I have to say that the speed of the white-robed army is really nothing to say, the light cavalry entering the grassland is like a dragon entering the sea, and Zhao Yun's 7000 men are the elite of the light cavalry, so the combat power and speed are naturally nothing to say.

Not long after, Zhao Yun led hundreds of soldiers to the Chinese army to meet Gongsun Xu. After the two armies converged, Zhao Yun led the way, Huang Zhong led [-] cavalry to clear the way with Zhao Yun. Under the leadership of the generals, they spontaneously spread around the periphery, and only the new army was arranged to escort food, grass and military equipment inside.

In fact, even Zhao Yun's white-robed army can come and go freely in the grassland now, which shows that this grassland is still very safe, at least there will not be a large number of enemy troops. Side more will not be a problem.

However, Gongsun Xu still ordered the whole army to be under martial law. When it was safer, Gongsun Xu ordered to be more vigilant. Moreover, it is indeed safe now, but it has not reached the camp. Moreover, this is also the purpose of training the new troops. Best chance.

What happened last night was actually caused by Gongsun Xu's dispatch of some frontier troops. Gongsun Xu's purpose was to test the vigilance and psychological quality of the new army. Last night's surprise and absence of danger really gave the new army a lot of feelings, and many people were still a little scared. ,

The current march in the field is also the best training opportunity for Gongsun Xu. After entering the camp, he will either stay in the camp and train the chariot formation. In actual combat, Gongsun Xu has been doing his best to make this batch of new troops elite.

However, after arriving at the camp, this will be Gao Shun's business. Gongsun Xu believes that in Gao Shun's hands, these people will surely become an iron army that will scare the enemy as soon as possible.
