Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 236 Marshal Yuan's Tactics
The day after Qin Cao Yuan Liu arrived in Jinyang City.

Outside the city of Jinyang, in the camp of the officers and soldiers, there was the sound of thundering drums and the sound of trumpets covering the land.

After the golden drum, all the generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the tent, Marshal Yuan is very imposing and sits in a high position.On the left below, Qin Feng and Cao Cao are seated, facing each other, Ding Yuan and Liu Bei are seated.The rest Xun Yu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others stood in order.

This lineup is said to be the first lineup in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and absolutely no one dares to have an opinion.

Yuan Shao inspected the heads, found that they were all there, and there was an unfamiliar face, he couldn't help pointing at Gao Shun and said, "Who is this?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Benchu, this is my former general, the new general Sima Gaoshun, Gao Boda."

Gao Shun walked out, neither humble nor overbearing, cupped his fists and saluted, "I have seen General Yuan and all the generals."

"Oh~." Cao Yuanliu didn't ask much. After all, Qin Feng opened a mansion and ruled the army. This is his own business and has nothing to do with them.

And Zhang Liao had reported Qin Feng's promotion of Gao Shun to Ding Yuan yesterday.

At this moment, the corners of Ding Yuan's eyes twitched, thinking that Qin Zijin, who took away a soldier from the Bingzhou Army as Sima, was simply inexplicable.This guy named Gao Shun has such great abilities?
Ding Yuan didn't know Gao Shun's ability, if he could predict the future, he wouldn't be beheaded by Lu Bu.

After Lu Bu learned of this, he envied Gao Shun very much.And Zhang Liao was happy for Gao Shun.Zhang Liao also learned how important it is to meet the right person at the right time.

Next, Ding Yuan introduced the situation of the Huns in detail.

In general, the base camp of the Huns was located in Yanmen County, with a force of [-].Since the Xiongnu plundered places indiscriminately, there was sufficient food and grass supplies.However, it is worth mentioning that the big cities in Yanmen and other counties are still in the hands of the government and the army, so the Huns did not have strong cities to rely on.

After Ding Yuan finished his introduction, he asked, "General Yuan, do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Yuan Shao looked quite confident, and he talked eloquently: "Our military strength is superior to that of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu have no city to retreat to. I am going to call for a battle, and I will make an appointment with Qiangqu, the king of the Xiongnu, for a decisive battle in four days' time, which is the first day of May. "

A decisive battle against the Huns on Labor Day?
Qin Feng felt that Yuan Shao was a thoughtful person, so he reminded: "General Yuan, the [-] Xiongnu elite are all good cavalry and archers, and they are very powerful. Three thousand, don't be careless."

It seems that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Xun Yu and others think so deeply.

Marshal Yuan is not an ordinary person. He laughed and said, "How can I not know that the Huns are extremely powerful in cavalry and archery. However, the range of cavalry and archery is not as good as that of infantry." As he spoke, he got up and pointed to the military map. It was chosen at the foot of Gaojinzhai Mountain in the southern part of "Jingle County". Its terrain is a loess hilly area, and the north-south narrow and long terrain is undulating and scattered, which will greatly limit the mobility of the cavalry."

When Yuan Shao said this, he was very confident: "The commander-in-chief arranged the infantry in front and led the Huns to go deep. The crossbowmen hid behind the formation and shot fiercely." He waved his hand heavily, "The cavalry on both wings outflanks, and the Huns will be wiped out in one battle. vitality."

Qin Feng thought about it carefully. In later generations, Yuan Shao's generals used this formation to KO Gongsun Zan's white horse cavalry.

Cao Cao couldn't help nodding his head, stretched out his thumb, and said, "General Yuan's arrangement is very clever."

Liu Bei slapped his ears and said, "I just don't know, will the Huns come? If not...."

Yuan Shao had a big head and said, "If you don't come, then you can't say it."

What he said made sense, so let's not think about it again, so everyone saw Yuan Shao's words were logical, and they couldn't help but nodded for a while.

Qin Feng and his military advisor Xun Yu looked at each other, although they thought it was impossible to be as simple as Yuan Shao said.But the two armies have to fight each other, and the official army has a geographical advantage.It would be great if the Xiongnu really came to Gaojinzhai Mountain.If there are other changes, it is necessary to make a decision on the spot. It is useless to think too much now.

So far, Yuan Shao's strategy has won the approval of everyone.

Ever since, Yuan Shao began to assign orders, "The Bingzhou army will be the vanguard, fighting and retreating, and will be responsible for luring the enemy to go deep."

"Zao Duo is responsible for outflanking the cavalry on both wings."

"Zijin and Mengde are the two wings of the Chinese army, and this commander is personally responsible for the dispatch of the Chinese army."

At this point, Yuan Shao prepared to make a crab formation.He is going to lead the crab formation to walk in the undulating "underwater world" at the foot of Gaojinzhai Mountain, attracting the Huns cavalry to enter, circle around Da'ao, and shoot arrows from their mouths, and they will be able to wipe out the Huns.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and said in his heart that it would be good to be promoted, but I was not the most difficult task.He endured humiliation for many years and often took on the most dangerous and difficult military missions.At this moment, I feel that the most difficult years have passed, and the dawn has arrived.

As far as Ding Yuan was concerned, he didn't feel the slightest bit about luring the enemy deep and possibly losing troops.Because the current him does not have the consciousness of the period of the separatist regime of the princes of the later generations.For him, the soldiers are all dead, and that is the court's problem.The defeat was also due to Yuan Shao's unfavorable command.

The strategy and tactics have been concluded, and the next step depends on whether the Huns will accept the move.

So he rode out of the camp on a fast horse, took the letter of war, and went straight to the base camp of the Huns.

A fast horse, a fast horse, ran [-] kilometers in three hours and came to a prairie in the southwest of Yanmen County.

On the grassland, clusters of Huns' yurt tents formed a gathering place, covering the land.The Huns kept shouting, occasionally a herd of horses galloped, and the Huns could be seen herding cattle and sheep.

The book of war soon reached Qiang Qu's hands.

In a short while, in front of the largest luxurious king's tent in the gathering place, the warriors of the Huns puffed up their cheeks and blew the three-meter-long horn.

In an instant, dust heads rose everywhere in the gathering place, and when the sound of horseshoes sounded, the dust and smoke formed an earth dragon, which flew towards the king's tent.

Soon, the Xiongnu King Qiangqu summoned his Hun generals, in fact, most of them were his descendants.

The two sons of Qiang Qu, Yu Fuluo, the eldest prince of the Huns, Hu Chuquan, the second prince, and Liu Bao, the son of Yu Fuluo, followed.

Why Yu Fuluo's son was surnamed Liu, this must be traced back to the time of Han Gaozu Liu Bang.It is said that Liu Bang was a very powerful king. He defeated figures like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and established the huge Han Empire.One day, he gave the Huns King Maodun a daughter. As for the reason for sending the daughter, I won't say much.And he also met Mo Dun as brothers.In this way, Liu Bang is both the father-in-law and the elder brother.Therefore, sometimes, when the Xiongnu royal family thought of a Chinese name, they took the national surname of the big Han.

The Huns, a group of big bald heads, hideous faces.With a bow on his back and a machete at his waist.

"Father, I don't know what summoned us?" Yu Fuluo stepped forward and asked.

Sitting on his tiger-skin throne, Qiang Qu casually threw out Yuan Shao's letter of war.

Yu Fuluo took a look at it, frowned, and passed out the letter of war.

At this time, Qiang Qu leaned on the throne and scratched the back of his bald head, saying: "This time, 5 officers and troops have arrived. There are also famous generals Yuan Shao, Qin Feng, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei who are known as the new generation of the Han Dynasty leading the army... "

"What new generation of famous generals?" The second prince called Chu Quan and said, "Father, don't overestimate the officers and soldiers."

"Overestimate?" Qiang Qu sat up straight and said, "Don't you know that Wei Qinghuo got sick hundreds of years ago?"

Hu Chuquan said disapprovingly: "That was the leader of the Xiongnu at that time, and he was tricked by the officers and soldiers Wei Qing and others. They entered the corners of the mountains, gave up the mobile advantage of cavalry and archers on the prairie, and were surrounded by the officers and soldiers. defeat."

Liu Bao, Yu Fuluo's son, followed up and said: "This time, we are on the grassland. How can the people of the Central Plains understand the vastness of the grassland? Here, our Xiongnu cavalry archers are invincible!"

Hu Chuquan said: "Father, the grassland will always be the grassland of our Huns. No one can truly defeat us here. No matter how many officers and soldiers come, our cavalry and archery warriors will come and kill as many as they come!"

Ever since, all the Xiongnu shouted: "As long as we are on the grassland, the official army will not be able to defeat us!"

It seems that the lessons learned from the blood of the ancestors let the current Huns know that, at any time, they will never enter the terrain that is not conducive to them when fighting with the official army

Qiang Qu showed a look of deep approval, he leaned on the throne again, and said: "This time, Yuan Benchu ​​chose the place for the decisive battle to be in a narrow and long mountain!"

Everyone glanced at each other for a while.

Liu Bao came out and said: "The officers and soldiers are like this again. This must be a conspiracy. The officers and soldiers only think that we are the same as how many years ago? They want to lure our army into an area that is not good at fighting. This time, they will kill us. Can't enter either!"

But after Qiang Qu waved it, he said earnestly: "This time, I want to go in..."

"...." Everyone was dumbfounded.

……

On May 186, 5 A.D., southwest of Jingle County, Yanmen County, at the foot of Gaojinzhai Mountain.

Yuan Shao, the general of the army, has already set up a crab array in the narrow and rugged hilly area.

The three brothers Liu Bei led [-] cavalry, which became the two pincers of the crab formation, and Qin Caoyuan led [-] troops to form a body.And Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led five thousand Bingzhou soldiers, which became the bait.

In front of the formation of the Chinese army, there is a flag with the word "Yuan" flying, and there are several big flags on the left and right.The words "Qin", "Cao", "Dian", "Xu", "Gao", "Lv" and "Zhang" are written.

The visibility on this day was 15 kilometers. Yuan Shao was in high spirits. Looking around, the terrain in front of him was constantly undulating, and the drop was not small.

Yuan Shao pointed to the undulating terrain of "the pit is connected to the slope, and the pit is below the slope", and said: "When the Huns enter here, their mobility will definitely be greatly reduced. Fengxian and Wenyuan lured the enemy to go deep. When the enemy reached the front of our Chinese army, When the enemy is in chaos, Zijin Mengde will lead the two wings together, the enemy will lose their mobility, and there will be more mobilization to cut off the enemy's rear, surround and wipe them out!"

His plan was perfect. When the Huns entered the battlefield, Yuan Shao would first send Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to lure the enemy into the range of the crossbowmen.The Huns are all leather armored cavalry, unable to resist the long-range shots of crossbowmen, they must be killed in large numbers.If the Huns attacked, Yuan Shao would have tens of thousands of infantry in formation to resist, and it would be no problem for [-] crossbowmen to wipe out [-] Huns.

If the Huns slipped away, after Liu Bei cut off their retreat, Qin Caoyuan led the troops and rushed forward.Just like a group of hunters surrounded the jackals and beat them hard with big sticks, the ending is self-evident.

Qin Feng scratched his nose, thinking that the Huns are so stupid?Just come here with your head covered?

However, with the sound of horseshoes shaking the ground, the Huns really came.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Where are Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, immediately act according to the plan!"

"Here!" Lu Bu and Zhang Liao took orders and led five thousand Bingzhou troops to lure the enemy.

Qin Feng looked at the dust head covering the sky and the sun in the distance, and said dumbly, "It's really here!"
