Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 200 Negotiating the March 1
Great changes are taking place in the Central Plains, many old forces have been purged, and many princes who dominate one side may also withdraw from the stage of history. These are unavoidable facts, but Gongsun Xu, who is in the grassland, has no time to take care of it now. These things.

After staying in the grassland camp for two days, Gongsun Xu has already understood the current situation of the two armies. In order to find out the real situation of the enemy army as soon as possible, and to make his soldiers familiar with this kind of grassland warfare as soon as possible, Gongsun Xu decided to try it out. Sexually attack the Huns.

However, now Gongsun Xu's side does not occupy an overwhelming position. In terms of numbers, the combined infantry and cavalry on Gongsun Xu's side is only about 14, but the opponent has about 23 cavalry. Gather here.

However, Gongsun Xu's advantage is still obvious. First of all, Gao Shun chose the location of the camp very cleverly. He used the geographical advantage to resist the enemy's attack and sneak attack, saving a lot of manpower for his side. .

At the beginning, after Gao Shun led the army to the grassland first, he tried hard to find a suitable place to build and win. In the end, Gao Shun really found one.According to Gao Shun's requirements, for the convenience of drinking water for the army, the camp should be very close to lakes or rivers, and rivers and lakes can also be used as defenses.

In the end, the lake formed by several large rivers on the grassland became the site selected by Gao Shun. The camp was built near the junction of the lake and the river. At the same time, Gao Shun also built a water village behind the barracks, which was garrisoned by five thousand water troops.

On the other three sides, half of the length on the left and right sides is surrounded by rivers, so that ordinary troops can be saved for defense.At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from building dams upstream to store water and impact the camp, Gao Shun also specially sent people to build flood control dams and diversion channels.

Even if the enemy troops store water upstream and attack it, the flood will be diverted to other places, and it will not pose a threat to Dazhuo.At the same time, in order to prevent the water source from being cut off and to prevent the enemy from poisoning the water, Gao Shun had dug a deep well in the camp, enough for the army and horses to drink.

To a certain extent, the river provided cover for Gaoshun's camp, and also confused the enemy. If the enemy wanted to use the terrain or water and fire to attack Gaoshun's camp, it would be a waste of time.

There is no way, the difference in culture has led to the difference in productivity. Gao Shun not only used the most elite army in northern Xinjiang, but also recruited the top talents in civil engineering, surveying and mapping in northern Xinjiang. Enough for the Huns to be dumbfounded.

Furthermore, the sailors in Gaoshun's rear battalion were not vegetarians either. Southerners were good at boats, and they were good at riding.This has been the law since ancient times. The [-] sailors recruited by Gao Shun are commanded by general Gan Ning. Most of these soldiers are from the south, and a few northern soldiers are now trained to be similar to southern soldiers.

When it comes to swimming, boating and other naval projects, Gan Ning's [-]-strong navy is by no means inferior to the elite navy in the Jingxiang area.It can be said that since Gongsun Xu led the army, the army of the Northern Xinjiang Army has been fully assembled. There are three major types of arms, including the navy, cavalry, and infantry, and they can all be used. On the other hand, the Xiongnu side, Just cavalry all along.

This is also a change in the combat method of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Single-armed operations must have limitations, especially when the terrain and weather are complex, and the advantages of mixed arms are obvious. The coach can use different terrains and weather Only by making use of your strengths can you achieve great results.

Gongsun Xu is very satisfied with Gao Shun's arrangement. Judging from the current situation, as long as Gao Shun is given enough troops, he can completely defeat the Huns, at least drag them down. Facing such excellent subordinates, Gongsun Xu feels that Is it that I am useless?

After staying in the camp for fourteen days, the chariot jointly designed by Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu has been built, and the [-] infantry was also taken by Gao Shun to make a surprise attack during these days to train the formation. Fortunately, Gao Shun This time, Shun still brought two thousand soldiers from the trapped camp, otherwise, the way the infantry fought in formation would be a bit of a headache.

It has to be said that Gao Shun is indeed an expert in formation formation. The [-] new troops have been trained for these days, and their formation looks good. At least, Gongsun Xu doesn't have to worry that these new soldiers will run back when they come to the battlefield. , and, because of the formation of chariots, even running back is useless.

With the high morale of the lieutenant soldiers, Gongsun Xu felt that it was necessary to fight the Huns when their morale was high. Otherwise, staying in the camp all the time would not only affect the morale of his own side, but also make the enemy The army took the initiative.

For this reason, Gongsun Xu decided to hold a military meeting to discuss whether to fight against the Huns.

In Gongsun Xu's big tent, the important generals and counselors of the Northern Army had already arrived. Everyone was looking at the simulated terrain map model in the center of the big tent. Gongsun Xu used black and white flags to clearly show the strength of the forces of the two sides. comparison and distribution.

After everyone understood the situation, Gongsun continued with a smile and said: "Okay, I've said all the nonsense, you all can share your thoughts, this is our first battle with the Huns, we must fight well, It's wonderful to win.

The Xiongnu army has not yet fully arrived. We must take advantage of this opportunity to attack. When we enter the stalemate later, we must focus on defense. However, we must give hope to the new army, otherwise, it will be difficult to appease the emotions of these recruits . "

Jia Xu still stroked his beard calmly and said nothing. This old fox has always been like this. Unless Gongsun Xu took the initiative to ask him, he seldom expressed his opinion. The name is to give other military divisions and soldiers a chance to perform.

Over the years, everyone has experienced many battles together. Almost everyone present is familiar with Jia Xu's behavior. Anyway, this guy will still behave when something happens, so everyone is not in a hurry.However, Gongsun Xu still gave him a nickname, calling him "Men Sao Man".

Sometimes people who are good at things use this nickname to cancel Jia Xu, but Jia Xu is not angry. After all, he is the first person who forced Gongsun Xu to use his nickname to laugh at him. Of course, this nickname is also Affirmed Jia Xu's ability.

Xi Zhicai spoke at this time: "My lord, there is no problem with the way of thinking. Both the enemy and us are not on a firm foothold. Our army is already at a disadvantage. Now is indeed the time for us to send troops. However, what I want to say is that this is just a small Fighting is just to feel the bottom of the opponent, and to train the new army."

Gao Shun nodded and replied: "I agree with the military adviser's opinion. In my opinion, let's be villains first and then gentlemen. Tomorrow I will send people to the Xiongnu camp for an appointment. It is in line with the purpose of our army."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't this the same as when the Eastern Expedition took place? Why not fight with the enemy first, but my lord, the Xiongnu Chanyu Xubuguduhou is better than the Xianbei King Tan Shihuai is far behind. This guy is a Shanyu who relies entirely on rebellion. I guess his brain is not very good. At least after he killed Qiang Qu Shanyu, he failed to kill his whole family and left behind troubles , Grandma, if it wasn't for this guy, we wouldn't have met Fu Luo, the bastard last time."

Zhang Fei's angry words actually revealed the current internal contradictions of the Xiongnu. After Xubu Gudu Hou rebelled and killed his predecessor Shanyu Qiangqu, the southern Xiongnu actually had a tendency to divide into two. The elite troops leading the Southern Huns have been wandering in the grasslands, waiting for an opportunity to regain the Shan Yu's position, but unfortunately they were finally killed by Lu Bu.

The strength of the Southern Huns was not good at all, and after going through such an incident, the overall strength of the Southern Huns has dropped a lot, or in other words, it is only most of the strength of the Southern Huns who are facing Gongsun Xu now. In fact, the elite troops of the Southern Huns have not been in the hands of Hou Bugudu.

Zhang Fei always acts carefree. In fact, Gongsun Xu understands that Zhang Fei's behavior is more similar to despising the enemy strategically and valuing the enemy tactically. Don't look at him now as if he looks down on the Xiongnu. When it comes to war Zhang Fei's brain turns no slower than others.

Gongsun Xu looked at the generals, and then said: "Well, let me allocate the combat personnel first. Among the troops left behind, there are [-] heavy cavalry, [-] selected front troops, [-] infantry, and [-] cavalry. It should be enough to defend the water stronghold with all its strength, plus the heavy troops, and the number of troops left behind should be no less than [-].

As for the generals, I think Han Sheng will stay and defend the camp. The two military advisers will assist Han Sheng. On the navy side, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin will stay. Xingba will fight with me. Zilong and Yide will lead the cavalry with me. In the battle, Zheng Fang is in charge of the overall command.

Commander Dian Wei's [-] tiger and ben troops went out with the army, and the selected forward army can temporarily be put under the command of the square, but they retain their right to fight independently. The arrangement of personnel and troops is roughly the same. Do you have anything to add? "

Except for a few generals who had a trace of regret on their faces, the rest were not unhappy. Huang Zhong, who was arranged to stay in the camp, was in high spirits. The task of staying in the camp was not easy. During the Eastern Expedition, Gongsun Xu had always arranged for Xu Rong to stay behind In Daying, after the Eastern Expedition ended, Xu Rong led the army alone to guard Sanhan. Huang Zhong vaguely felt that Gongsun Xu wanted to leave him behind.

As for the two generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, they originally wanted to take advantage of this battle to make a splash and gain fame, but now is not the time for the navy to stand out. Besides, Gan Ning is already on the battlefield, and the navy always needs someone Taking care of it is the only thing. Although the water village is completely perfect, it cannot be ruled out that there will be no accidents.

"Since this is the case, let's roughly settle down like this. This time, our army will have about [-] people to fight, which is not a small number. I guess the number of Huns will be no less than [-]. However, this is not a decisive battle. You have to keep in mind." Gongsun Xu looked at the crowd and said indifferently: "This time, Zhengfang is still in command, and Zhengfang is the overall commander of this battle. Do you understand?"

Everyone knelt down and said: "Understood."

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Gongsun Xu understood that Gao Shun's command should not be a problem. Next, it was up to Gao Shun's solo performance.
