Chapter 235: Trapped Camp VS Peerless Army (2)

Lu Bu opened his mouth and asked, "General Xiahou, who do you think will win?" ”

Xia Houlan was stunned when she heard this,

Obviously, he didn't expect Lu Bu to ask him,

Hurriedly stood up and saluted Lu Bu a little nervously,

opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wen Hou, this ...... I really don't know how to win or lose. ”

Lu Bu glanced at Xiahou Lan,

whispered, leaning back to the chair,

Didn't continue to speak.

Xia Houlan stood a little embarrassed on the spot,

Peeked at Zhao Yun next to him,

happened to find that Zhao Yun was also looking at him at the moment,

There seemed to be encouragement in his eyes.

looked at Lu Bu, where the old god was there,

Xia Houlan gritted her teeth slightly, and then said:

"Lord Wen Hou, let's say a few words in vain."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows,

The body straightened up again, tilted his head to look at Xia Houlan,

Motioned for him to continue.

Swallowing and foaming, Xia Houlan sorted out her thoughts,

Then he replied:

"In the past few days, I have watched the training of these two units. General Gao Shun's trapped troops were heavily defended and attacked fiercely, and although they were slightly sluggish in their movements, they could not be hindered by their invulnerable heavy armor. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and did not speak.

The smile on Lu Bu's face gave Xia Houlan confidence,

He then spoke:

"Not so with General Pan's Musou Army. The Mushuang Army is a mixed infantry and cavalry unit, and under the training of General Pan, it is mainly good at coordinating with each other, and the opponent is overwhelmed by the unpredictable attacks. In terms of combat methods alone, the trapping camp seems to be specifically restraining the Wushuang army, but there are only 5,000 people in the trapping camp, and the Wushuang army is 20,000 people. The numerical superiority has pulled the combat power of both sides to a level. ”

Xia Houlan's analysis,

All the generals sitting next to him heard clearly,

At this time, many people couldn't help but nod approvingly.

I couldn't help but glance at this young general,

At a young age, but with only two days of observation,

The characteristics of both sides are so carefully grasped,

It was a little surprising to them,

It seems that this man is the commander of the White Horse's righteous servants.

It's not that he's boasting.

Lu Bu didn't seem to be satisfied,

Still opened his mouth and asked:

"General Xiahou, you analyzed well, but you still haven't been able to answer my question."

Xia Houlan relaxed a lot,

There was also a faint smile on his face,

He clasped his fists again and saluted:

"Returning to Lord Wenhou, judging from below, the Peerless Army may have the upper hand, but the final winner will be the trapped camp."

"Oh? Why? ”

Lu Bu was a little moved,

Turning his head to look at Xia Houlan,

Asked earnestly.

Xia Houlan looked at the field and said confidently:

"Fang Cai said in Xia that the unequaled army is good at cooperating with all arms, but the camp is as stable as a rock. Relying on the cooperation between its arms and the superiority in numbers, the Wushuang Army has been suppressing General Gao's trapped camp at the beginning of the competition, making it unable to move, and even precarious. ”

Lu Bu nodded slightly,

Then he said, "Go on." ”

Xia Houlan then continued:

"However, after all, this is just a drill competition, not a real battlefield fight, as time goes by, once the two sides are stuck together, the advantage of the number of unequaled armies will become a weakness."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up,

Other generals also set their sights on Xia Houlan.

Xia Houlan didn't seem to notice these gazes,

Confidently continued:

"Although the trapped camp will be a little sluggish compared to the speed of the Peerless Army, General Gao must also know about it, and once he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely chase after the other party. In the face of a well-equipped trap camp, even if the Wushuang army is several times more numerous, there is no way to engage the opponent at the same time, so the advantage of the trapping camp will be shown to the maximum extent at this time. Correspondingly, although the Wushuang Army is numerous, it is certainly irreversible from defeat. ”

"Hahaha." Lu Bu stroked his palms and chuckled:

"General Xiahou's analysis is quite reasonable, and let's wait and see if the direction of this battle situation is really as predicted by General Xiahou."

When Xia Houlan heard this, her handsome face turned slightly red.

Lu Bu stretched out his hand and motioned for Xiahou Lan to sit down,

Turning his head to Zhang Yan, he said:

"Loyalty, if they're ready, let's get started."

Zhang Yan nodded,

waved his hand to the audience,

Immediately, the sound of war drums came.

With the sound of war drums,

All the noise around the battlefield,

All disappeared at once,

Only the mighty drums of war,

and the neat footsteps of the troops on both sides echoed in the field.

The trap formed a circle and slowly advanced forward,

The soldiers trapped in the camp were all tall and tall,

Covered with heavy black armor,

Holding a giant shield in his hand,

or with heavy weapons,

There are also several javelins stuck in the back,

Like a steel beast,

Slowly moving towards the opposite side,

Under the neat pace,

Even the earth trembled.

The peerless army on the opposite side is a different scene,

There were six thousand horsemen in the Musou army,

At this time, he stood quietly on one side,

Fourteen thousand infantrymen were the first to move.

At the front is a Pak sword soldier holding a shield,

Behind them were three rows of soldiers with spears,

It was the archers who were the last to crush the formation.

The equipment on their bodies is also very comprehensive.

But relative to the trap camp opposite,

It's much lighter,

Naturally, the speed of travel is also a lot faster,

The formation of the Peerless Army is a cone formation.

It's an offensive formation.

It can greatly improve the lethality and penetration of the battle array,

It corresponds to the circle of the camp arrangement.

The distance between the two sides is gradually shortening,

Tai Shici asked Zhang Liaodao in a low voice:

"Third brother, why don't I feel right, do you just start fighting directly? It's not quite like the style of both sides. ”

Zhang Liao's eyes were always staring at the battle situation in the field,

Pouted, he said helplessly:

"Second brother, you don't think it's that simple, so what are you asking. This must be nothing more than a disguise on both sides. ”

Hearing the impatience in Zhang Liao's tone,

Tai Shi Ci was a little angry, glared and was about to speak,

Zhang Liao suddenly said:

"Second brother, look!"

Tai Shici hurriedly closed his mouth and looked intently at the field.

Pan Fengduan sat on the war horse,

He was at the forefront of the cavalry,

The distance between the infantry unit and the trapped camp is not far away,

Coming into range of archers.

Pan Feng raised his right hand, and then waved it forward violently,

The cavalry units behind them immediately moved.

Thousands of horses galloped at the same time,

The battle was a few points stronger than the movement of the trapped camp.

At the same time as the cavalry of the Musou Army launched,

The infantry units also reacted immediately,

The conical array immediately turned into a square array,

This is a formation that can be attacked and defended.

The three classes are arranged in order,

This is the most orthodox way of arranging troops,

All the archers draw their bows and arrows,

Raise the longbow diagonally upward,

Just wait for an order,

Thousands of arrows will fly to the opposite side in no time.

The military formation of the Peerless Army changed as if it had been rehearsed hundreds of times,

Without a hint of lag,

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

When the cavalry moved,

The infantry in front of them did not receive any instructions.

But without a hint of delay, the corresponding changes were made immediately.

And without the slightest mistake,

This is enough to show the hard training of the Mushuang Army in this regard.

In the crowd watching from the side,

I couldn't help but let out a cheer,

There are also many voices chanting the name of the Peerless Army.

At this moment, on the side of the trapped,

Gao Shun in the military formation was not moved by the changes of the other party at all,

He didn't react at all.

The soldiers below naturally won't change,

Still walking towards the camp and towards the opposing army.

Tai Shi Ci wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the two sides in the field,

He whispered:

"General Gao Shun, is this waiting for the other party's cavalry?"

Zhang Liao nodded beside him,

also lowered his voice,

As if speaking too loudly would affect the battle between the two sides,

"It is very likely that when the combat power of the Musou Army is at its highest, it is a mixed infantry and cavalry, and relying solely on infantry will only be crushed by the trapped camp. Both sides know about it. ”

While the two were talking,

The cavalry of the Unequaled Army has rapidly approached the battlefield,

Pan Feng raised his arm again at this time,

The cavalry units were immediately neatly divided into two groups, left and right,

neatly passed through the sides of the infantry,

Knights on horseback,

Remove the longbow after moving in unison.

"It's coming!"

Tai Shici's eyes flashed,

Nervously, his hands clenched into fists.

The battle between the two sides is finally about to begin,

And the rest of the generals were like him,

Nervously staring at the changes in the field.

At this time, Gao Shun, who had been silent, finally made a move,

I heard him shout in the middle of the field: "Sleepy! ”

The rear row troops of the trapped camp,

Immediately they parted to the left and right like waves,

Guarding the left and right flanks of the entire formation,

At the same time, the separated part of the warriors,

The right hand is stretched out backwards in the same way,

Take out the throwing gun behind your back,

Immediately shouted: "Look! ”

Thousands of throwing guns like a black cloud,

Flying towards the unequaled army opposite,

That landing point was exactly the direction of travel of the cavalry on both sides of the Wushuang Army on the opposite side.

This group of soldiers who fell into the camp were divided into two waves,

The first wave is after throwing the throwing gun,

Immediately cover the top of your head with a small round shield on your left forearm,

Accelerating towards the front of the battle array,

After a chaotic sound of ping-pong,

Almost all the arrows fired by the cavalry of the Musou Army were blocked,

It didn't affect them at all.

And then just as they left,

The second wave of soldiers threw their spears without gaps,

Once again, it was in the way of the cavalry of the Peerless Army.

After the throw, he still made the same behavior as the first wave of soldiers.

At the same time, at the forefront of the trapped camp army,

The warriors who originally held the giant shield,

Suddenly half of them accelerated,

and even broke away from the troops,

It just so happened that the troops who had finished throwing their guns were guarded behind them.

The other half of the Giant Shield Warriors,

He stood still and turned around to erect his shield and face the rear.

While making these actions,

The rest of the soldiers trapped in the camp were not affected in any way,

Continue to walk slowly forward.

"This cooperation is like a cloud of peers, too smooth and perfect."

Tai Shi Ci stood up excitedly.

"The soldiers in the rear used their throwing guns to block the path of the cavalry of the Musou Army, forcing them to go far away, disrupting the rhythm of the opponent and making their cavalry shooting effect not optimal."

"That's right, and it's not just like this, have you noticed that the soldiers holding huge shields in the front row of them are divided into two parts, and they are ready to protect themselves from bows and arrows on both sides in front and back, so it can be said that in this first round, the trapping camp won."

Zhang Liao looked directly at the battlefield,

Then Tai Shi Ci's words said.

At this time, a somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the side:

"I don't think so, General Pan won't lose the opportunity so easily."

The two of them followed the prestige,

I saw that the person who spoke was Xia Houlan.

With a smile on his face, he said:

"Although the cavalry was blocked, the killing distance of the cavalry is far better than the distance of the spear after all, General Pan is not unfamiliar with the tactics of trapping the camp, since he arranged it so, it must still have its deep meaning."

Many generals heard Xiahoulan's analysis,

I couldn't help but nod.

The two armies have fought each other before,

It is impossible for Pan Feng not to know the combat method of the trapped camp,

So long can only show that

Pan Feng's move must still have its deep meaning.

Sure enough, just when everyone was talking,

There was a change again in the battlefield,

The infantry of the Peerless Army is slowly retreating,

But the cavalry still charged forward,

The whole battle array stretched in depth,

The advantage of being outnumbered is now unmistakable.

The circular defensive array that the trap camp has been using,

Even in the midst of the changes in the movement of the square,

The overall formation still hasn't changed much.

The whole army looked,

It's like a giant tortoise shell,

Coupled with the heavy armor on the soldiers of the trapped camp,

It's really like a steel turtle that has its head, tail, and limbs back into its body.

At this time, the peerless army opposite them seemed to be like a poisonous snake,

Spit scarlet letters,

Swimming around the trap camp,

Waiting for the opportunity to look for that fleeting flaw,

Once discovered, a thunderous offensive will be launched,

Give the opponent a fatal blow.

Xia Houlan's face showed such a look,

Said lightly:

"It is worthy of General Pan, who took advantage of the slow action of the trapped camp to stretch the depth of the battle line, and used the distance advantage of the bow and arrow to shoot and kill from a long distance, and took the initiative of the battle situation in his hands."

Lu Bu squinted at Xiahou Lan,

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,

At this time, he asked:

"General Xiahou, you are also a cavalry general, although General Pan's cavalry can play a role in harassment, but the bow and arrow have limited damage to the heavy armor on the trapped camp after all. Although taking advantage of the advantage of numbers, the trapped camp is now at a disadvantage and surrounded, but the Wushuang Army can't help this hard turtle shell. If you are the commander of this cavalry at the moment, how should you break the game? ”
