Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 219 Harassing the Huns 2
Seeing that several people in the big tent agreed to harass the Xiongnu, Gongsun Xu had no scruples in his heart. As far as the current situation is concerned, harassing the Xiongnu is the best way, and it is much better than fighting hard. The best way to delay time.

Gongsun Xu looked at the crowd and said slowly: "Since the arrival of the rear army, our army has now reached the largest number of troops in the camp, with 3 front troops, [-] tiger and cardinal troops, [-] white-robed troops, and [-] heavy-armored cavalry. , more than [-] elite cavalry, and [-] newly formed cavalry, this is the entire mobile force of our army now.

In addition, there are [-] navy troops to defend the water village, [-] soldiers to guard the camp, and [-] infantry to defend the camp. It stands to reason that our army can now advance and retreat freely.

However, if they are sent out to harass the Huns, the [-] newly-built cavalry is definitely not suitable. Of course, the selection of the forward army and the white-robed army are the best choices. I decided that the selection of the forward army will be divided into three teams. The two teams and the white-robed army were divided into three batches, and each batch was accompanied by [-] elite cavalry. Each batch had a total of [-] cavalry, and they took turns to harass the Huns camp.

For the sake of safety, the cavalry who go to harass each time are equipped with one man and three cavalry equipment. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will run away. This is our army's current tactics.Do you have any comments? "

Everyone lowered their heads in thought, thinking about the loopholes in the plan. In fact, Gongsun Xu only gave a general framework, and there were no loopholes in itself. The next details had to be slowly supplemented by Xi Zhicai and others.

Zhao Yun first stood up and said: "Three batches of cavalry took turns to harass, there is no problem, but if there are too many harassments, the Xiongnu will inevitably be prepared. There are too many Huns. If they send out 10,000+ cavalry, Our cavalry may be encircled.

Also, the premise of harassment is that it will not cause too much harm to our army. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the [-] newly formed cavalry must be raised as soon as possible. You can only train their melee skills, and this is the only way to let them go to the battlefield. "

"When marching and fighting, we pay attention to the false and the real, and the false and the true." Xi Zhicai said slowly: "The purpose of our army is to harass the enemy, so we must make both the false and the real, so that the Huns can't figure out our army. Moreover, our army cannot be disciplined, as long as we can do this, we don't have to worry about being encircled by the Huns.

Moreover, the Xiongnu can encircle our army only if they dispatch more than [-] cavalry. How can our army not notice when so many troops are dispatched? Therefore, as long as we plan carefully before each battle, there will be no problem .

As for the [-] newly formed cavalry, I think it is better to focus on training, supplemented by actual combat. As far as they are concerned, they have not yet reached the point where they can fight on the battlefield. However, after they get familiar with the basic skills of cavalry , it's time to go to the battlefield. "

Gao Shun nodded and said: "That's right, soldiers are tricky. We must take the initiative and not let the other party find out our rules. Moreover, the Xuanfeng Army and the White Robe Army should be the best at this kind of harassment tactics. We don't need to worry too much."

Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "The specific details have to be finalized today. I have nothing to say. In terms of specific tactics, I still use the old saying that when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy retreats, we chase, when the enemy camps, we harass, When the enemy is tired, I will fight.

Back then, we dealt with the Xianbei in this way in the Eastern Xianbei battlefield. This time, we will also do the same with the Huns. The advantage of the Huns is that they are powerful, but their disadvantage is that they are not easy to command. This is the key to our army's victory. "

"What the lord said is true." Zhao Yun also stared at the map at this time and said: "I think that for such a harassment tactic, it is enough to have the white robe army under my command and the lord's forward selection army, and generals at all levels can do it. If you can deal with it freely, the lord should not have to personally lead the troops."

Everyone could tell that this was Zhao Yun giving Gongsun Xu an inoculation. In the just-concluded battle, Gongsun Xu led [-] tiger and cardinal cavalry to fight with the most elite [-] eagle shooters of the Huns. This was actually very dangerous. At that time, Gao Shun was too busy commanding the army to take care of it, otherwise, he would have stopped Gongsun Xu.

Now that Zhao Yun mentioned this, everyone took it for granted. With the Xuanfeng Army and the White Robe Army as the main force, this kind of harassment tactics naturally did not need Gongsun Xu to direct it personally. Even if there were any problems, Zhao Yun was there.

Now that Zhao Yun said so, Gongsun Xu naturally had to agree. Originally, he planned to personally lead the troops to survey the surrounding terrain within a hundred miles in order to formulate a suitable military plan. Now it seems that Zhao Yun wants to take care of all this.

After thinking about it, Gongsun Xu added: "You have to make a complete plan for this matter. In addition, Zilong, if you go to battle in the future, you can bring Xingba with you. Xingba's talents are not limited to On the water, he has been staying with the navy all these years, and he came here a little bit.

After the Northern Expedition is over, Xingba will still be of great use. He must be familiarized with cavalry warfare as soon as possible, understand? "

Everyone can tell that this is a sign that Gan Ning is going to be used to great effect. Gan Ning's ability has long been recognized by the generals of the northern border. However, he really has no chance to show it. There is no way. There are few naval personnel here, Gan Ning has to support the family background of the navy.

Now that Gan Ning is exposed to the cavalry, he must be indispensable to the infantry. It seems that Gan Ning will be among the top ten generals of the Northern Frontier Army in a short time.

Now that Gongsun Xu has let go, the next step should be Zhao Yun's personal performance. No one in the big tent is more suitable than him to carry out this large-scale harassment mission. Zhao Yun is good at commanding cavalry operations, especially when it involves Hussar.

After everyone discussed together for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yun stood up and said: "In order to deal with emergencies and to have a harassing effect, in the future, no matter which cavalry is going out to perform missions, the dry food it carries must be able to handle at least ten sky.

Moreover, each cavalry is equipped with at least one mare. The elite cavalry of our army have long adapted to the harsh environment of the grassland. During long-distance raids, the horses can not only act as legs, but also provide mare milk for food. Therefore, The mount of each cavalry has to be carefully selected and determined in advance. "

Gongsun Xu nodded and replied: "That's a good idea. If the retreat is blocked by the Xiongnu army, and our reinforcements can't support it for a while, the best choice is to go deep into the grassland and fight alone. At this time, the supply is the biggest. It seems that Zilong has already considered the worst situation."

"Our army can't fight unprepared battles." Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Besides, my idea is also inspired by the incident that my lord was trapped in the grassland. The Huns were born to live on the grassland. We want to To defeat them on the grassland, one must be well prepared."

Xi Zhicai stroked his beard and sighed: "It seems that we still have a hard time."

Gongsun Xu feels that the general plan has been formulated, and what is lacking now is for these people to fill in the details. It seems that he has nothing to do now. For marching and fighting, Gongsun Xu has always formulated the framework and guided the direction. How about it? Fighting, it depends on the imagination of the subordinates.

After handing over this matter to these few people, Gongsun Xu walked out of the big tent swaggeringly. He is now going to inspect the training of the cavalry. It is also necessary to find out the situation of these people.

Not far from the camp, there are figures of galloping horses everywhere. The cavalry of the Northern Frontier Army are training hard. The main content of their training is actually cavalry and archery, and cavalry combat. They rarely fight in close combat, so riding and shooting is the main way of combat.

In the last war, the Selected Front Army also suffered some losses, but soon there will be brave soldiers in the army selected. Therefore, the Selected Front Army has always maintained a full staff. Let them be directly subordinate to Gongsun Xu.

As for the less than [-] eagle shooters, they were scattered among the battalions of the frontline army at this time. Of course, the trump card of the Xiongnu has its own advantages. Bow to fight out.

After all these warriors, how could the generals of the selected front army miss the opportunity to learn? If it is really about riding and archery, the level of these eagle shooters may still be higher than most of the generals of the selected front army. The soldiers of the forward army relied on the advantages of equipment and armor to even out the level.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Xu also nodded secretly. This is his front-running army. He keeps fighting at all times. At the same time, he does not give up any opportunity to improve himself. Thinking back in the Western Han Dynasty, when the Xiongnu Empire was at its peak, the Xiongnu The cavalry are all called the proud sons of heaven.

Even a sharpshooter like Li Guang, when he learned that three eagle shooters had appeared near his barracks, he led dozens of cavalry to hunt them down without hesitation. These people, later learned from them the shooting skills of the Huns' eagle shooters.

Moreover, at that time, the three eagle shooters almost settled the dozens of Han cavalry with only bows and arrows. In the end, Li Guang shot and wounded two of them and captured the other alive. It can be seen that the power of the cavalry cavalry shooting technique.

And this is exactly what Gongsun Xu wants. He wants to create such a cavalry regiment now. In every battle, besides dealing with melee combat, cavalry and archery are his trump cards. It's a housekeeping skill.

Seeing that the two thousand eagle shooters were doing well with the generals of the frontline army, Gongsun Xu believed that within two months, these 2000 people would definitely be of use to him.

As for the 2 newly-formed cavalry, they are now in the process of training. Huang Xu was assigned to be a general among the recruits. Although he is young, he has excellent qualities. Ten thousand people are now subordinate to Commander Huang Zhong, so Huang Zhong is now working hard to train these rookies.

A great battle established the Northern Border Army's ability to gain a foothold on the grassland. Next, it depends on whether the Northern Border Army can completely defeat the Huns' army.
