Chapter 301: Here They Come
Yunzhong County is only more than 70 miles away from Yuanyang County, mainly because Yunzhong County is the seat of Yunzhong County.
After confirming that Xianbei's main force was only on the side of Dingxiang County and did not advance westward on a large scale, the army quickly increased its speed of movement and finally arrived in Yuanyang County before nightfall.
"This marching speed" Lu Bu looked at the foot soldiers, and a strong sense of incongruity came to his heart. In the past, if you forced the army like this, you would definitely be able to reach it, but the soldiers below are basically half exhausted and half dead.
As a result, now on the side of the foot pawn, tired is tired, but depending on the situation, there is still enough combat power, and this time, almost half an hour faster than scheduled, he seemed to think of something, and immediately looked at Liu Tao.
As if sensing his gaze, Liu Tao looked up at him. At this moment, Lu Bu's eyes were full of doubts, and there was also some inquiry. Liu Tao thought for a moment and nodded at him.
Sure enough, it was the lord's spell Lu Bu sighed, and when he was discussing with Wang She's subordinates before, he already felt that something was wrong. Later, I learned that the lord was actually a child of the fairy family. The children of the immortal family plus the relatives of the Han family, who is not the emperor if he is not the emperor?
Otherwise, how could he be so desperate for him to start the army sooner? I even feel that he has this background, why don't he just raise troops, maybe he can become the emperor faster, and he has to wait for some chaos in the world, it's a waste of time!
Fortunately, Chen Gong later solved his doubts: Wang Xing's righteous teacher! The lord is on the royal road, not domineering!
"Set up camp on the spot, the Xianbei troops stopped at Dingxiang, it seems that they don't plan to set up camp, but they don't plan to move either, we can have a good night's rest." Liu Tao ordered to go down.
It's already completely dark, and it's not good to act again at this time.
It's not that Xianbei doesn't want to move, but he can't move at all. When they arrived in Dingxiang County, they probably really planned to loot, but they went around and found that the houses were empty, and there was no grain in store, and there was nothing valuable, so they only felt unlucky.
Guan Yu was also in a hurry, knowing that a Xianbei scout had arrived, he immediately ordered the transfer. The people quickly moved to the city, and it can only be said that who let Xianbei test for too long and gave Liu Tao enough time to react.
After retaining the most basic precautions, everyone had eaten dinner and went to bed as soon as possible.
Tomorrow is estimated to be a big battle, and tonight we must have a good rest and recuperate mentally and physically. Yuanyang is about twenty-five miles away from Dingxiang, and if Xianbei starts to move at dawn, then it is estimated that there will be an encounter within three hours!
The three thousand cavalry is not a big problem, deducting the one thousand brought by Yan Liangwen Chou. It's okay for the foot soldiers, in the end, they have joined a lot of Liu Tao's original foot soldiers, plus they have also trained for a period of time, and they have been studying with Wang Shebu for a while.
It's just that the drill and the actual combat are not the same in the end. Fortunately, in terms of foot soldiers, it is said that there should not be much chance to fight with the Xianbei department, relying on the battle between the cavalry.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Bu found that the large army did not set off at the first time, but distributed breakfast, which was said to have been made overtime last night. I feel a little emotional, there was no such treatment in the march before.
"My lord, why don't you go on the expedition immediately?" Lu Bu still couldn't figure it out, after all, the soldiers were fast.
"The other party hasn't woken up yet, so there's no need to be so anxious. The speed of the soldiers is mainly advocated on the premise of not knowing the actual situation on the front line. If the fighters of the entire war are in our hands, then there is no need to be in such a hurry, and we can even arrange where the battle should be fought now. Liu Tao smiled and said.
The next three military divisions, namely Guo Jia, Chen Gong and Du Xian, are discussing this issue. The three of them drew a circle according to the map, and it was only seven miles away from here.
"How do you set up so close?" Liu Tao didn't understand, it was only about three kilometers.
"The main consideration is that when our army leaves, the other side will also come from there. We had foot soldiers and baggage to slow down our speed, but they came at full speed with cavalry. Guo Jia came forward to explain.
"Seven miles, we at least have enough time to arrange the formation a little, it is estimated that at about this time, the Xianbei cavalry will come to our army, just in time to start the battle immediately." Chen Gong added.
"Count that in, what if they didn't come over that soon?" Liu Tao was stunned, but he had to complain, are these military advisors so much in advance?
"Just set up the position better!" The three of them replied in unison.
Also, if you have more time, why not set up your positions better. Not to mention anything else, digging a batch of traps directly on the periphery can increase the odds of victory.
This is to think about it, unless the other party is also a pawn, otherwise digging and digging the other party will come, and there is no point in that.
The meaning of the three of them is that they can arrange the formation more calmly and determine which one has the best effect on the enemy, so as to improve the chances of victory. Perhaps, you can increase the number of enemy troops killed.
Half an hour later, the army marched out, and in less than an hour, it arrived at its designated destination. At this time, Liu Tao found the three military advisors and asked, "Then what do you think, how to fight now?"
"Sure enough" Guo Jia thought for a while, looked at Chen Gong and Du Xian, the latter also nodded, and the three of them said at the same time, "The main thing is to suppress it from a distance, and then use the cavalry charge to end it!" ”
"Your long-range suppression, could it be that Liu Tao probably knew their intentions, and sure enough, when they attacked Xianyang County last time, they tasted the sweetness.
It's not a big problem, it's just to impose a storm arrow, after all, it can be attached to the whole army, and it's just right to attach it at this time. It's a pity that the current high-powered arrows only have one effect, and if there are two of them, it is estimated that they can collapse the enemy army.
When the crossbowmen came to the front of the formation with a hundred large yellow crossbows and four hundred crossbows, five hundred archers were already firing their bows in the back. Swordsmen and spears begin to prepare, and as soon as they finish shooting, they will form a formation to defend them as soon as they are finished.
The 1,000 cavalry led by Yan Liang put their riding spears on their harnesses, took down the bows behind them, and were ready to bend their bows and arrows at any time.
Mounted archery, they have been training for a while, and it is also with this talent that Yan Liang finally replaced Wen Chou and commanded these thousand cavalry, or archers. In the beginning, it was more light cavalry, but recently it has begun to gradually move closer to the archers.
Liu Tao estimated that after officially becoming an archer, he could consider replacing the cavalry with a saber. After all, when the archers were close to each other, the saber was really more practical than the riding spear.
"They're coming!" While Liu Tao was looking at the battle array, he was actually looking at the surrounding situation.
Soon after the departure, the magic on the Dingxiang County side failed, but the effect of the wind dragon's insight was that it could be cast once a day, so as long as it passed 000, he could release it again, as long as the mana was enough.
He only began to set up after confirming the location of the position, and he was around to avoid a sudden detour of the enemy army.
At this moment, within the line of sight, the large army of Xianbei cavalry is entering the field of vision and is beginning to approach their side!
