The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 283 Positional Battle ([-])

Three days later in the morning, a long sound of a horn shattered the mist covering the ground.I saw thousands of troops and horses rushing out of the northern road, like a flood breaking a bank, making a bang that shook the world.

Lu Jian and Zhao Yan finally entered the battlefield with a total of seven thousand troops on this autumn morning.Then their army stopped advancing, because about three miles away to the southwest, Liu Chan's army had already occupied two low hills there, and set up a formation according to the mountain situation.

But because the hill is too small, it is impossible to place Liu Chan's 8000 troops on it, so many troops on the left wing are still lined up on the flat ground below the hill.

But what surprised Zhao Yan, Lu Jian and other Cao Jun was that in front of Liu Chanjun, there were many large wooden boards erected unevenly. All the troops are wrapped in the position behind the planks.I don't know how many planks there are.

As a general, Lu Jian had some knowledge, so he raised his whip and pointed at the boards, and said with a smile, "Master Boran, look, the boards buried in the ground must be caused by Liu Chan's lack of cavalry, or because he was afraid of our cavalry. That's why I came up with such a bad idea, I want to use this to separate the powerful charge of our cavalry!"

Zhao Yan nodded, then looked at the young general Lu Jian with admiration, and said with a smile: "It should be like this. It seems that Liu Chan's army wants to take a defensive position in this war. Maybe their purpose is to I want to transfer some of General Xu Huang's army to help Guan Yu's army gain an advantage in strength. Therefore, General Lu, since the enemy wants to fight a protracted war, we should fight Liu Chan's army quickly!"

Lu Jian nodded, feeling that Zhao Yan's analysis was really reasonable.Otherwise, Liu Chan, a little boy, can have much ability, and would he still want to lead the army to defeat him?
Therefore, Lu Jian immediately waved his whip, and led the army slowly approaching Liu Chan's army, and finally stopped at a distance of [-] meters.

Then the army behind quickly expanded to the space on both sides, forming a formation with a cross section of more than one mile.In front of the formation are all cavalry, [-] in number, and [-] infantry are arranged behind the cavalry, divided into two square formations.

At the same time, Liu Chan, Guan Xing, and Gai Meng, who joined the cavalry army, had already stood on the hill, and they could clearly see every move of Lu Jianjun below.

Liu Chan couldn't help sighing inwardly, the momentum of Cao Jun's cavalry really looked very mighty, and now they looked a little frightened when viewed from the mountain.

However, Gai Meng was born in Cao Wei, and he is also a master of cavalry warfare. He is obviously used to this, so his mentality has not been affected.On the contrary, he looked very excited, looked at his son Liu Chan and asked: "My son, our army formation has been properly arranged, what should we do next?"

Liu Chan looked up at the sun, the time was really early, and it was still a long time away from the total time.The reason why Liu Chan chose to line up troops here is firstly to occupy a strong terrain; secondly, this place is low in the southwest to prevent the soldiers' eyes from being blocked by the sun in the afternoon, so Liu Chan is not in a hurry now .

Liu Chan said calmly: "We can't take action yet, let's just wait and see what happens. One of the reasons for doing this is to avoid prolonged melee battles with the enemy, which may cause too much loss of our own troops; This time's action is all about killing with one blow. Therefore, with Bao Sanniang and Liao Sheng, we must do our best to cooperate in terms of timing."

Gai Meng nodded, put away his over-excited mood, and continued to stand quietly behind Liu Chan, observing the military formation in the area.

At this time, Liu Chan said again: "Because our army has a large wooden shield in front of it, our army can be regarded as waiting for work. It doesn't matter if Lu Jian's army attacks first. As long as they come, I will definitely let them suffer! "

Liu Chan said, and then told Guan Xing: "Second brother, you are the commander of this army, you don't have to worry about me now, go down to the formation to command the army now. I believe that Lu Jianjun will launch an attack soon. "

Guan Xing immediately clasped his hands and said: "The last general obeys orders, my son, take care!" After saying that, he turned around, stepped on his horse, and rushed down the hill.

At this time, Gai Meng suddenly thought of something, which had been in his mind for several days.He said to Liu Chan: "My son, our cavalry is now ready."

Liu Chan hummed, who doesn't know about this!Didn't you, Ge Meng, go over and organize the 500 cavalry just now?

Seeing that Liu Chan didn't respond, Gai Meng had no choice but to say: "My lord, if the war breaks out, can you give me the command of the cavalry?"

Liu Chan turned his head and asked, "As a cavalry soldier, do you also want to go down and lead the troops to fight in person?" Only then did he understand the meaning of Gai Meng's unreasonable words just now.

Gai Meng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Meng's greatest wish in his life is to be able to command troops to fight on the battlefield in person. Now you ask me to join the army as a cavalry soldier for you and advise you. It's really not something I'm good at!"

Liu Chan smiled when he heard the words, and said: "I promise you. But don't worry, you'd better stay here and give me advice. Because when the cavalry is dispatched today, it will be the time for our army and the local people to die! "

Gai Meng saw that he finally got Liu Chan's approval, and that the cavalry team was shouldering such an important mission, and his mood suddenly became excited again. He didn't care about how long he would wait in Liu Chan before he could lead the cavalry team to attack. !He immediately said: "The last general obeys orders!"

At the same time, Lu Jian's eyes were fixed on the three rows of wooden planks in front of him.He found that apart from being shaped like shields, they were actually like door panels. They were all nailed with square wooden strips, and they didn't even have fireproof paint.

However, Lu Jian also knew that although those wooden planks were poorly made, they were roadblocks after all, and they had to be cleared first before his cavalry could successfully attack the enemy.

In fact, Lu Jian already had an idea in his heart, it was just a pile of planks, what could be done?He didn't discuss with Zhao Yan either, and immediately turned his head and said to Lieutenant General Wei Guang, "Wei Guang, I was going to give you a thousand cavalry, but you immediately knock down all the planks on the left flank of the enemy's formation."

As Wei Guang was able to start the game, he was naturally very excited, and he was about to take orders to go, but was stopped by Zhao Yan.

In fact, Zhao Yan agreed with Lu Jian's approach.Judging from the entire array arrangement of Liu Chan's army, his right wing is all arranged on the hill, so the flanks are still strong even if there are no wooden boards to block them.On the left side, because there are hilly mountains behind the road leading to the country, Liu Chan's army also formed an array on the flat ground below the mountain, which is indeed a good breakthrough.

But Zhao Yan is a cautious person, and he said to Wei Guang earnestly: "General Wei, the enemy has put up such an unprecedented formation this time. You must be cautious when attacking this time. It is best to succeed in one blow. If the enemy If you use any tricks, you must return immediately."

Wei Guang cupped his hands and said: "The last general obeys orders." Then, he immediately rode his horse to the front of the formation and set up two troops with a total of [-] cavalry.
