Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 66 Unprecedented Tactics of Warfare

In the first year of the early Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo, with the full support of the Liangzhou forces, strongly occupied Sanfu, Henan, Hongnong and other places, firmly placed the Son of Heaven in the palm of his hand, and attracted Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Nanying, Sun Jian and other dozens of princes to raise troops to fight at the same time, which shook the world.

With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the two armies fighting fiercely, all the eyes of the world are concentrated in one place - Tiger Prison Pass! Just when everyone in the world thought that the two sides would start a protracted tug-of-war with the Tiger Prison Pass as the boundary, no one knew that a Skynet operation against Dong Jun was quietly unfolding.

Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Zhang Yang's first line of soldiers and horses took the lead in starting the action after three days of rectification. Before leaving, the morale of this army was boosted again, because Cao Cao unexpectedly waited for a reinforcement...... The clan brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan led 1,200 soldiers from the clan to vote, and brought a lot of grain and grass, which finally made Cao Cao temporarily get rid of the dilemma of lack of soldiers and lack of food.

This army of about 22,000 men followed the map provided by the Bohai Navy all the way to the south, and soon found a hidden mountain road that could lead directly to the back of the Tiger Prison Pass. Under the instruction of Nanying, Cao Cao not only did not hide, but instead made a big show of overcoming thorns and thorns, opening up mountains and rocks, which had the intention of opening up the way for the follow-up army. With such an open fire march, of course, it is impossible to hide from Dong Jun's ears and eyes.

Just after the first road of soldiers and horses went deep into the mountains for dozens of miles, they successively had a series of frictions with the small-scale soldiers and horses left by the Dong army. Finally, the main force of the enemy army was drawn...... Li Dao personally led thousands of infantry to rush to the mountains to help, and stood in front of Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao simply found a place to camp, set up a village according to the danger, and fought steadily with Li Wei, winning and losing each other.

Just as Cao Cao and Li Dao were making their own strange plans in the mountains and fighting vigorously, Yuan Shao's army, which had already been preparing to attack, finally made a move and made a move. It has an earth-shattering potential.

Completely freed from the threat from behind, the morale of the 200,000 allied troops was all pressed, and hundreds of siege equipment made in the past two months attacked the Tiger Prison Pass, which caught Niu Fu in the mountain who had just divided his troops off guard, and had to do his best to defend the city pass.

On the first day of the siege alone, more than 10,000 people were killed on both sides, and countless people were wounded.

In the face of heavy casualties, Niu Fu was in a hurry. But he didn't get his heart pounding, because he knew...... As long as the offensive of the coalition forces is slightly weaker, the LΓΌ Bu army stationed outside the pass will take advantage of the lack of men and horses to deal a fatal blow, and then the Tiger Prison Pass will turn from danger to safety.

Niu Fu's guess was not wrong, but unfortunately he was destined to despair, because as soon as Lu Bu's army was assembled and ready to go, a huge army emerged from the endless smoke and dust, forming an iron wall in the short eight-mile road between Lu Bu's army and the Tiger Prison Passβ€”the Bohai Navy and the Changsha Army finally poured out.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the 40,000 Dong Army soldiers under Lu Bu. Two thousand Bohai Navy chariots calmly lined up one after another, and countless strong bows and giant crossbows behind the defense line led the arrows and pointed diagonally to the sky, and what was even more exaggerated was that the Bohai Navy actually conjured up ten catapults in one hour....... watching the process of the towering catapults being quickly assembled and formed. All Dong Jun changed color, and even Lu Bu couldn't help but roll in his throat and swallow his saliva secretly.

However, the shock brought by the Bohai Navy to the enemy was far from over, when LΓΌ Bu urgently summoned his subordinates to discuss how to break the Bohai Navy in front of him. When the tiger prison was supported in time, just in front of Lu Bu's camp and under the noses of tens of thousands of Dong soldiers, the soldiers of the Bohai Navy set up rows of sharp rejection horses. All the roads in and out were sprinkled with dense thistles, and not only that, but they also used trebuchets to throw countless clay pots full of fire oil with trebuchets, turning the front of Lu Bu's army camp into a wet oil field.

After all this was done, an eagle general took matters into his hands and shot a stone bullet into the oil ground with unmistakable accuracy - the message is clear: if you have the courage to come out, Lao Tzu will burn your mother!

Lu Bu's face finally changed, this is no longer a one-person war, but a contest between the tactics, strategies, equipment and heritage of the two armies...... And it is obvious that tactically the Dong army has been defeated, and they should have launched an attack immediately at the beginning of the appearance of the Bohai Navy, and they should not wait for the Bohai Navy to set up their positions in an orderly manner; Strategically, they are still the losers, because the intention of the Bohai Navy is self-evident, that is, Dong Jun will never be allowed to rush to the aid of Tiger Prison; As for the equipment and heritage? Not to mention those chariots and catapults, it was the sea of oil thrown by the Bohai Navy, which made Dong Jun stunned, and Bohai was rich!

Looking at the inquiring eyes of his subordinate generals, Lu Bu reluctantly issued a military order to collect troops, his idea was also very simple, it was impossible for the Bohai Navy to block here and not return to the camp to rest, right? As soon as you withdraw, I will send troops!

Soon, Lu Bu and tens of thousands of Dong soldiers and soldiers once again saw the ability of the Bohai Navy....... with the assistance of a large number of allied reserve troops, the cavalry of the Bohai Navy tied the felled logs to the saddle one by one, dragged them behind the horses, and groups of chariots also moved like rats, transporting all kinds of logistics and materials necessary for camping from the original direction of the camp.

The officers and men of the Dong army were finally dumbfounded, it turned out that the Bohai Navy had made up its mind from the beginning, and wanted to use a large battalion to directly block their own doorstep....... throughout the ages, in order to avoid a surprise attack by the enemy, the two armies had to fight at least ten or twenty miles away, and chose a dangerous terrain to build a camp, so that the enemy and us were only three or four miles apart, I am afraid that it would be unprecedented!

Each other's camps are close at hand....... perhaps the Bohai Navy has already been mentally prepared, but the officers and men of Dong Jun all feel a blockage in their chests and a chill in their hearts! Lu Bu gritted his teeth fiercely: Prepare for a night attack!

Finally, at night, more than 1,000 elite infantry of the Dong Army took off their heavy armor, removed the military shoes under their feet, and walked out of the camp gate with a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, and sneaked towards the Bohai Navy camp with their waists bent.

In the large camp, 5,000 cavalry are ready to go, and as long as the sneak attack is successful, they will be killed with a thunderous force.

More than 1,000 Dong Jun finally sweated through the still wet oily field, and their hearts were relieved...... Calculated from the gate of the Bohai Navy barracks, the large crossbow with a slightly longer range is actually enough here, and as long as one rocket is fired, at least half of the pioneers of the Dong Army will become roast pigs.

Seeing that the gate of the Bohai naval camp was in sight, but the entire battalion still seemed to be unguarded, except for the gate and the fence, dozens of Bohai naval officers patrolled back and forth idly under the firelight. In the depths of the walled gate, there was a dark shadow, and there was not even a trace of light.

More than 1,000 Dong troops gradually accelerated, trotting all the way to the gate of the village, and suddenly, a terrible "buzzing" sound sounded in the night sky. Dong Jun stopped in shock, but he couldn't see half a clue from the vast night.

The next moment, the terrible sound of penetration sounded in pieces, and the soldiers of Dong were shot down one by one by the rain of arrows that suddenly appeared in the darkness, and the screams resounded through the night sky.

"Dark Arrow!" Lu Bu, who was watching the battle in the distance, lost his voice. The buzzing sound that sounded again came to his ears at the same time, and he couldn't believe it: "Another wave? ”

The officers and men of Dong Jun were hit by unimaginable horrors a stone's throw away from the Bohai naval camp, but the Bohai naval officers who were patrolling the camp in the distance were still pacing back and forth unhurriedly as if they were unconscious.

The general of the Dong army, who commanded the advance of the raid, looked at the calm comfort of the enemy army in the distance, but the dying cries of his subordinates echoed in his ears, and the two seemed to combine into an extremely strange nightmare, almost breaking the tense heartstrings in his heart...... He finally shouted in a changed tone: "Withdraw! ”

About 500 soldiers of the Dong Army escaped by luck and desperately turned around and fled, and just when they thought they had escaped....... a rocket pierced the night sky and nailed it accurately under their feet.

The fire almost formed a wall of fire. Hundreds of Dong soldiers were wrapped in the fire, burning them so that they kept running, stumbling, and struggling, and their terrible screams even sent chills to Lu Bu's heart.

A burning man stumbled through the wall of fire and staggered towards the camp of the Lu Bu army. The screams in his mouth continued, and all the officers and soldiers of the Dong Army who witnessed this scene changed their color miserably.

Lu Bu suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and his palms were sweaty...... He remembered what Nan Ying had said: "Let your martial arts master the sky, but when it comes to this battlefield....... how can you compare with me?" ”

He bent his bow and arrows like lightning. An arrow shot the burning man straight to the ground, and the screams came to an abrupt end.

In the frightened eyes of the surrounding soldiers, Lu Bu said fiercely with a fierce look: "Strengthen the night defense." Without the permission of this general...... No one is allowed to step out of the camp gate! ”

It was night, the entire Lu Bujun camp was brightly lit, everyone was waiting for the day, even when they were sleeping, they always felt a rabbit in their hearts, as if something was about to happen.......

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, suddenly the gongs and drums outside the camp were loud, and the sound of killing shook the sky, so that the night patrol soldiers hurriedly flew arrows outside, and as a team of soldiers rushed out of the tent, lined up a line of defense, then someone was alarmed...... The fire outside the camp had burned out, and in the dark night, how could there be a shadow of half of the Bohai Navy sergeant? Only the countless Dong Army soldiers in the camp stuck their heads out and stared at the air in a daze.

"What are you doing?" Koji Yi walked over with a gloomy face and shouted angrily, "Go back to sleep!" ”

"It seems that there will be no peace tonight!" Lu Bu had a calm face, and said calmly: "Maybe they will continue to harass our army!" ”

Half an hour later, the sound of killing really started again. The soldiers of the Dong army were in a mess again, but they still only drank a cool breeze......

It was another half an hour, and when the killing sounded up, the soldiers of the Dong Army were already a little commonplace, they got up and lined up unhurriedly, cursing nonsense, and some people muttered: "Next time, just don't get up....... it's still half an hour!" ”

Behind the makeshift car wall built by the Bohai Navy, an officer walked past a row of subordinates sleeping on the ground, and tirelessly shook their shoulders one by one: "Boy! Get up, get to work! ”

The soldiers rubbed their sleepy eyes, got up from the ground, pulled out the sound-insulated cloth from their ears, and quickly put on their full suits.

The great crowd of soldiers gradually gathered, but it was silent, for the soles of their feet were wrapped in a layer of cloth; There was not the slightest reflection of the armor, and all the killing machines were wrapped in a cloak as black as night.

"Boys!" Nanying strode over from the front of the phalanx: "Do you hear the shouting and killing outside the camp?" Don't be red-eyed, it's all deaf ears...... Matched! ”

The soldiers chuckled lowly.

"I want to thank the Changsha Army brothers who are responsible for harassing the enemy, they have not closed their eyes until now for your chance to win!" Nanying waved his hand suddenly: "Did you see it?" Dong Jun has been played to death by them, just waiting to be ravaged by us! ”

Because of the discipline before the battle, the soldiers could not let out thunderous cheers, they could only straighten their chests and look at their generals with glowing eyes.

"Defeat Lu Bu, and we can calmly take the tiger prison; After capturing the Tiger Prison, we can drive straight into the imperial capital; And the imperial capital ...... That's not our ultimate goal! Nanying took a deep breath: "My brothers, let us fight side by side with our swords and kill a homeland that belongs only to us in this troubled world!" ”

In the excited eyes of the soldiers, Nan Ying drew his knife and pointed directly at the camp of Lu Bujun: "The first myth of the Battle of Dong starts here, and we will write it!" ”

"Let the whole world be shocked by the bravery of our Bohai Navy!" With his back to tens of thousands of soldiers, he took the first step forward: "All follow the generals...... Kill! (To be continued......)
