Chapter 636: The Battle of Nine Mile Mountain (25)
The book is picked up again.
"Hiss......" After Zhang heard Xu You's words, he gasped, he didn't expect his lord to be so ruthless.
But then he reacted, if what Xu You said was true, then he really couldn't bury this 10,000-strong army here.
Otherwise, even if he weakened Cao Cao, he would definitely be punished by Yuan Shao.
After thinking everything through, Zhang nodded and said solemnly: "A certain family understands, when it attacks with all its strength in a while, a certain family will definitely draw back all the elite soldiers and horses under its command."
Then, let Zang Ba's army and these captive armies go to their deaths. ”
"That's right!" Hearing this, Xu You nodded with satisfaction and said, "It would be good if these armies could beat Cao Cao to the bone.
If not, then we must also ensure that these elite soldiers and horses of the lord can return to the lord's hands.
Otherwise, the loss of the lord this time will be too great. ”
"Huh......" Zhang let out a long breath and nodded and said, "A certain family understands"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to the herald on the side and ordered: "Pass my general order and order all the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to come back." ”
After saying this, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and his words changed and said, "No! Don't let them all come back, let them withdraw little by little, and don't let the army of captives and Zang Ba's army find out what is wrong with it. ”
"Whoa!" When the herald heard this, he answered and hurried away.
After the herald left, Xu You looked at Zhang with a smile and said, "General Zhang is really powerful, so that others will not be able to find out, and we will stay out of the matter." ”
"......" Zhang was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly and said, "If it's possible, a certain family really doesn't want to give up these people, after all, they are also our robes."
However, for the sake of the great cause of the lord, even if a certain family really can't bear it, it can only be like this. ”
"Robe?" After Xu You heard these two words, he chuckled and shook his head, but did not speak.
He is not a military general, and he can't understand the kind of robe in Zhang's heart.
In his opinion, the army of Zang Ba and the army of captives are just some pawns that can be discarded at any time.
However, since Zhang had already done what he thought in his heart, he didn't want to worry about these things with Zhang.
"Knock knock knock ......" Just as Zhang and Xu You were talking, suddenly, a rapid drum beat came from Xiahou Yuan's army.
"Huh?" After hearing the sound of the drum, Zhang looked at Xiahou Yuan's army on the opposite side with a puzzled face, and muttered to himself: "What is the purpose of beating the drum on the other side at this time?" Is it to boost morale? ”
After saying this, he retorted to himself: "It's impossible, the morale of the other party has always been very strong." ”
Zhang thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out why the other party was beating the drum, so he looked at Xu You and asked, "Mr. Ziyuan, you are a famous wise man, can you guess it."
Why the hell is the other party beating the drum? ”
After Xu You heard the sound of the drum, he also fell into deep contemplation.
He also couldn't understand why the enemy was beating the drum.
However, he understands one thing, that is, the enemy will never be untargeted!
Therefore, after hearing Zhang's question, he said with a serious face: "No matter what the enemy is for, you must be prepared!"
This drum sound is likely to represent that the enemy wants to counterattack! ”
"Counterattack?" After Zhang heard Xu You's words, he frowned and said, "Unlikely, right?"
The enemy is not stupid, how can they still think of counterattacking when they know that they are not as numerous as us?
They are barely able to resist our attack now, and if they counterattack, won't it give me a chance to take advantage of it?! ”
Hearing this, Xu You looked at the enemy's army, frowned and shook his head and said, "Whether it's true or not, we must take this precaution."
This is very likely, because it is impossible for the enemy to beat the drum for no reason. ”
Zhang Wenyan nodded and said, "Since that's the case......"
Before Zhang finished speaking, he saw Xu You pointing to the army in the distance with a frightened face and said, "Look! What is that?! ”
When Zhang heard this, he immediately looked in the direction that Xu Yu pointed to.
This look surprised him!
I saw hundreds of carriages rushing out of Xiahoudun's camp.
And the top of this carriage was full of thick firewood and grass.
At this time, the firewood and grass have been ignited, emitting a raging flame.
The horses pulling the cart all let out a burst ......of screams after being touched by the flames.
Then the horses pulling the cart made a sharp effort and rushed forward in a rampage.
"Bang Bang ........."
"Ah......h
"Slippery ........."
These horses pulling the cart seemed to be crazy, and rushed directly towards Zhang's Chinese army.
In the course of the sprint, countless people were knocked down and countless corpses were ignited, and it seemed that every carriage was spilling a path of fire.
"Hurry! Order the army to stop these wagons!! After Xu You saw this scene, his face changed drastically and he roared loudly.
Zhang Wenyan, after glancing at Xu You, frowned and asked, "Why is Mr. Ziyuan so alarmed?"
Although these carriages are indeed very powerful, the total number is only a few hundred, even if he is allowed to rush to the Chinese army, what can he do?!
As long as the horses pulling the carts are killed, the carriages will stop in a short time, and they will have no effect. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhang commanded to the herald on the side with a normal face: "Pass my general order and let people go and kill all these horses pulling carts!" ”
"Whoa!" When the herald heard this, he answered and hurried away.
Xu You's face softened slightly after hearing Zhang's order.
He felt that Zhang's response was very appropriate, so he didn't say anything more.
But there was always a bad premonition in his heart!
Therefore, he frowned and said to Zhang: "General Zhang, don't be careless!"
How similar this scene is to the Fire Bull Formation in Spring and Autumn! ”
"Fire Bull Array......" After hearing Xu You's words, Zhang nodded and said, "It is indeed very similar."
However, even if the enemy can use these wagons to disperse our Chinese army?!
The enemy is outnumbered by us, and even if he breaks up our army, they will not dare to counterattack!
Because once you counterattack, you will inevitably fall into a war!
When the time comes, whether we win or lose, our goal has been achieved!
Therefore, a certain family wishes that they would really scatter our army, and then attack the whole army! ”
Xu You heard this, thought for a while, nodded, and found that things were really as Zhang said.
If the enemy strikes, they have a chance to inflict heavy damage!
Then, Xu You thought of another question.
The enemy is not a fool, and since they can think of it, the enemy will definitely think of it.
That being the case, then why does the enemy still use "trains"?
Was it just to inflict a little damage on their army?
This is impossible, their army after the onslaught of these "trains", although it seems that they have suffered heavy losses.
But if you look closely, you will find that these hundreds of trains have only caused thousands of casualties to their army, which is not a bone break.
Is it just for the sake of such a small gain?
If that's the case, then why should they?!
It's better to let people ride these hundreds of war horses and charge at their own side.
In this way, it may cause nearly 10,000 casualties.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xu You didn't understand the inside story.
Therefore, he turned his gaze to Zhang and asked, "General Zhang, why do you think the enemy sent these trains?" ”
When Zhang heard this, he frowned and said, "A certain family can't guess the enemy's intentions.
Although these wagons did break up our army.
However, the enemy was nothing more than infantry, and there were no cavalry.
The infantry marched very slowly, and even if they wanted to take advantage of the chaos of our army, we would have plenty of time to change their formation to deal with them. ”
"Cavalry?" After hearing these two words, Xu You's pupils shrank, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "It's not good!! ”
