Chapter 338: Rainy Days Are More Compatible With Raids
"There's nothing strange about this, is it?" Sun Jian thought about it, although this matter did have a certain amount of strangeness, but if he could, he didn't want to doubt his own people, "After all, the front line received information, and then we came over again, at least six days." ”
In six days, if the thieves thought that the main force of officers and soldiers understood the situation and went north to Anding County, then if nothing else, Qi County would definitely be the only way to go. So an ambush was set up here, which made perfect sense.
"No one wants to doubt their own people...... Liu Tao nodded, "But since the thieves started the rebellion last year, and now for so long, the situation on the front line has been very strange. In other words, in order not to be yin by others, maybe it is better to take precautions. ”
"The person the general suspects, is it Dong Zhuo?" Sun Jian knew that it was not good to say it directly, but considering Huangfu Song's instructions, the first thing that came to mind was him.
"What if you doubt it? We have no proof! Liu Tao shook his head, "If you are a little careless, you may even give someone someone a bite back." Okay, now our focus should be on how to deal with these ambushes! ”
"The main camp should be here, and the protection here is more stringent." Liu Tao spread out the map and showed it to a few generals, "Fengxian, you take Sun Sima and knock this place down, and Hansheng will cooperate with you!" ”
"Whoa!" The three people who were called by name responded one after another.
Sun Jian could feel that Liu Tao was unfamiliar and cautious with himself in his tone, although he didn't think it was strange, but since everyone was fighting together, he actually felt that he could be a little less polite.
"This way...... It's full of variables......" Liu Tao immediately looked at the map, there was a small camp in the corner, and he didn't know what the specific situation was inside, judging from the corresponding location, it should also be an important camp.
After a pause, he looked at Yan Liang and Zhang Fei, and said, "Gongji and Yide, you come with me to take a look here!" ”
"Whoa!" The two nodded, and if Liu Tao followed him personally, then it would definitely be the most difficult target. In fact, it may not be the most difficult to bite, but Liu Tao is used to treating unknown targets with caution.
"I didn't follow you guys, so be careful no matter what." Liu Tao looked at Lu Bu and the others.
"The subordinates (subordinates) understand!" Lu Bu and Huang Zhong knew what Liu Tao meant, while Sun Jian thought it was Liu Tao's concern.
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the vision is estimated to be affected, so let's solve it quickly!" After Liu Tao finished speaking, he attached the 'Heavenly Armor' to everyone, and then immediately cast the 'Faith of the Light Dragon' and the 'Burning Will'.
Heavy rainy days keep morale at a level that doesn't go up or down. Therefore, it will not become high because of the blessing of two magics, but everyone can feel that at this moment, the battle spirit has increased significantly.
"Is there a problem with the crossbow?" Before setting out on the expedition, Liu Tao realized a problem, so he looked at Yan Liang and Huang Zhong.
"Brother, the bow and crossbow can't be used in the rain...... Zhang Fei stepped forward to remind, "Keep it all away, and be careful not to let the rain get too wet, otherwise even the life of the bow and crossbow will be affected......"
"Then you ......" Liu Tao immediately looked at Huang Zhong and Yan Liang.
"The soldiers under our command are not only able to shoot." Yan Liang replied, and the soldiers behind him immediately drew their sabers.
They can't use bows and crossbows, but neither can the enemy. In fact, if you really want to calculate, on the grassland, it is the best choice to raid the Hu people on a rainy day, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Hu people is largely on the riding and archery.
"My lord, the main material of the bowstring is made of dried animal tendons, and the bow glue may melt in rainy days, so when it rains, the bow and arrow must find a way to avoid being wet, and if it is wet, it must be exposed to the sun for a period of time before it can be used." Huang Zhong stepped forward and explained carefully.
As far as the current rainproof measures in the army are concerned, it is estimated that the bows and crossbows are somewhat wet by the rain. That is to say, at present, Yan Liang's archers, as well as Huang Zhong's crossbowmen, can only be temporarily used as cavalry, mounted infantry, and even baggage soldiers.
This is also something that can't be helped, who let him not master the magic similar to the drying effect. Or maybe this kind of magic is so low-level that it doesn't even count as adventure magic.
"I have never encountered a situation of fighting on a rainy day before...... Liu Tao expressed helplessness, especially in the clouds, where the rainy weather is relatively fixed or even rare. If there is no river water to irrigate, it is estimated that the crops in the fields will die of drought.
It is said that the situation in Liangzhou should be similar, but this heavy rain is definitely an accident. Happily, the rain was an accident for him, and it was an accident for the thief as well!
"Anyway, be careful!" Liu Tao continued to advise again.
"Whoa!" The two nodded, in fact, even if they were hard-hitting, they would not be afraid of anyone, especially in the case of cavalry charges.
Thirty miles away, the first twenty miles were completely slow, after all, from ten miles, they had to start going up the mountain. There is not much human activity here, so the vegetation is very dense, and if you don't already know where to go, you will probably get lost in the woods.
Liu Tao clearly marked several obvious surface plants or markers on the map, as long as he was based on these markers, then he could roughly know whether he was in this straight line.
"Did we send someone here to scout?" Sun Jian braved the rain and looked at Yan Liang beside him.
"I didn't ...... Well, probably, right? Yan Liang subconsciously wanted to say no, after all, everyone knew that this was the result that Liu Tao's Tianyan saw, and he didn't know how accurate it was. But then I realized that the person around me was not my own person.
"You spies here are really powerful." Although Sun Jian understood something, he still pretended not to know anything.
"Hahaha, of course." Yan Liang said with a smile. In fact, if you really want to be a spy, the reconnaissance team formed by Yang Jie is really powerful, and it also has good action at night, and it is indeed a good hand in reconnaissance.
But if they really want to send them to investigate, it will take one night, and no one wants to wait for the result while raining.
"There are still five miles, everyone get ready to charge!" Lu Bu suddenly gave an order, and the flag bearer waved the flag to convey it.
The cavalrymen quickly tensed their nerves, or rather, they began to enter the jungle, and they were ready to enter the possibility of an encounter at any time. Without Liu Tao, they didn't even know when there were enemies around.
Liu Tao's side is actually not much better, after all, they don't have many targets, so they can only find a way to walk through the mountains and forests, just compare the camp on Lu Bu's side, and then think about it according to the same proportion, and roughly know a general direction.
He was relieved when the enemy camp loomed through the trees in the rain.
"I don't know where the main camp is, so it's estimated that it will be a chaotic battle, everyone get ready!" Liu Tao looked at everyone.
After confirming that everyone was mentally prepared, he gave himself a 'Flame of Punishment' and a 'Blessing of the Fire Dragon', and officially gave the order: "Charge with me!" ”
