"As expected, the previous crusading army has been in a state of passive defense, and when the rebels have been advancing, they will definitely leave a few small units of reconnaissance or harassment on the front line......" Liu Tao opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

At this moment, more than 3,000 people are ready to go, excluding only Guo Jia and Xin Bi, who are guarded by fifty personal soldiers, and the rest of the people are ready to go on the expedition.

It has been three days since the discussion in Yi County. During this period, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei each led more than 100 cavalrymen to reconnoiter towards Chencang and Yongxian respectively.

It is said to be a camp, but it is actually more like a small settlement, after all, there is no relatively complete defense, at most a simple wooden fence is enclosed outside.

The number of people is unknown, the situation in the camp is unknown, but it doesn't matter, you just need to know the location. According to the data reported back, Liu Tao then started the 'Wind Dragon's Insight', and the entire camp immediately appeared in the 'field of vision'.

"The situation in the camp is already known...... Our side is fifty miles away from that side, and we can run fifty miles and then launch a night attack, can we do it? Liu Tao looked at the people around him.

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another, if Liu Tao performed the 'acceleration technique', considering that from this side to that side, almost all of them were plains, then it was completely possible to maintain a moving speed of 28 km/h, which could only be regarded as an average speed.

It can be increased to a maximum of 100 km/h, but that is the charging speed, and it can only last two kilometers in its heyday.

Even if you move forward at an average speed, about thirty or forty miles, you will probably have to take a little rest. The reason for this is that the bonus of acceleration and the endurance of the Xianbei horse itself are good.

As for why you want to rush instead of arriving in Chencang County first, and then set off from there, after all, it is only a distance of twenty miles, and it will be able to arrive soon, and it can also allow the war horse to rest to a greater extent.

In the final analysis, Liu Tao doesn't believe in these counties at all. Maybe they had just stayed at Chencang's side, and soon someone went over to inform the people in that camp of the arrival of their troops and horses.

Whether it is a rush attack or a night attack, since it is an attack, it must be taken by surprise, otherwise it can only be an encounter.

"Let's go!" Liu Tao gave an order, and the cavalry began to start slowly, Huang Zhongbu was a crossbowman, but he had five hundred horses for walking, so he would not be unable to keep up with the large army.

The physique of the crossbowman itself is stronger than that of the average soldier, and he does not have such a strong physique and strength, he can't even pull the bow, let alone hit the target accurately while firing the bow. Especially the rhubarb crossbow, it doesn't mean that you can wind it with your feet, and it's useless if you don't have enough strength.

Such a crossbowman, with the cooperation of the stirrups, has no problem in changing to a horseback crossbowman. Besides, the long run, on the way south, has already been tried.

At that time, Liu Tao had already thought about this kind of tactic, through a long-distance attack, to hit the target by surprise. Relying on the 'Wind Dragon's Insight' and 'Acceleration Technique', the path that can be walked immediately widened and increased.

"Rest in place!" There were still twenty miles from the enemy camp, and in order to ensure physical strength and concealment, the team slowed down and advanced at a speed of fifteen kilometers per hour, while bypassing Chencang County.

The distance of the original fifty miles was raised to seventy miles, but instead it went around to the rear of the enemy camp.

Originally, it was more than ten o'clock in the evening to march, but now it is almost twelve o'clock, when I passed by Chen Cang, I looked, there was a faint fire on the city wall, it should be the soldiers on duty.

The 'Han' flag on the head of the city has not changed, which means that Chen Cang is still in the hands of the imperial court, but there is a camp of thieves here, why is it not reported? Is it because I don't dare to go out of the city to report, or is there another reason......

It's also possible that the thieves have already laid down the flag, but they haven't removed the flags here. Speaking of which, Bian Zhang, they Kou Sanfu, the first banner they played, was in the 'killing of eunuchs', which is usually called 'Qingjun side'.

A group of traitors on the side of Qingjun are really ironic enough. I think it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that made them think that if they rebelled directly, they would face a joint resistance from above and below the Han Dynasty, so they didn't dare to do so. Qingjun's side is different, at least it will make some people who don't want to cause trouble become an ostrich.

"How long to rest?" After Lu Bu dismounted, he stepped forward to ask.

"Half an hour, the last ten miles, three miles of slow progress, five miles of average speed, and the last two miles of full speed charge!" Liu Tao replied.

"What about the crossbowman?" Huang Zhong stepped forward and asked, the archers are okay, at least they can shoot on horseback, but the crossbowmen cannot, those big yellow crossbowmen, even if they shoot, they can only squat and shoot in order to maintain stability.

If you shoot directly at the horse, you don't know where the crossbow will go.

"The front front rushed into the enemy's formation......" Liu Tao dismounted, drew a circle on the ground, and pointed to a position, this is where they want to attack, "This is where the material reserves and horse pens are located, the front army will scatter the horses, so that they can't get on their horses, you dismount at this time, surround this place, and shoot the thieves who dare to come forward." I will stay and help you. ”

Then he looked at Yan Liang and ordered: "The archers are cruising around the camp and shooting freely!" ”

As for the two cavalry, they will be given free play, anyway, they are facing a group of Qiang people who can't ride horses, if they can't win the battle, then Liu Tao can almost dismiss the two.

The people he brought over were all future generals, so there was no need to be so specific about the tactics and how to do each step. Liu Tao had the impression that Zhuge Liang did just that, but in the end, there was no one who could take charge of it alone.

may be a kind of dependence, relying on Zhuge Liang's magic calculation, and there is no last resort. Liu Tao thinks that he is not Zhuge Liang, although there is a ghost talent like Guo Jia under his command, he hopes that the generals below will have more opportunities to think.

It doesn't matter how many games you lose because of this, Guo Jia also formulates a strategy according to this concept.

It's just that then again, unless a time-traveler like him, who can guarantee that a certain general will become an excellent general in the future, or even a famous general? Shu Han's fault tolerance rate is too low, and it is estimated that Zhuge Liang can't afford to gamble!

"Whoa!" Everyone nodded, everyone also liked this tactical design, as long as they acted in accordance with the general policy, then how to fight in the follow-up can basically be arranged by themselves.

Half an hour later, it was one o'clock in the night, perhaps ten miles away, and the thieves did not notice them.

At first, it is almost as fast as a walker, mainly to make sure that it does not make too much noise, and at the same time, to ensure the maximum physical strength of the horse. Then move forward at an even speed, warm up the horses, and prepare them for the charge.

There is also a two-mile road, relying on the fire of the camp tent, the Qiang people on duty can already see the marching cavalry.

At this moment, the movement in the distance began to become louder, from subtle to thunderous, and it only took a dozen seconds. This voice is very familiar to the Qiang people in the camp, it is the sound of a large-scale cavalry charge!
