Chapter 450: This battle is not a battle

(5,000 words.) Thank you for the monthly pass of lxzx, ydjj, and thank you to tobeathell! )

When the army is out on a campaign and sets up camp, unless the main general is an idiot, the camp is generally well guarded, and the camp is either close to the mountain or near the water or choke the throat of traffic, and the arrangement is compact. Generally speaking, the Chinese army's big tent is in the center, and the six armies of the left and right sides of the Yuhou are distributed on the outside, forming a camp array of stars and moons, and the armies and the Chinese army form a group, so that the Chinese army can give orders and invoke each other. The shape of the military camp is set up in a square or a semicircle, etc., and there is rarely a linear arrangement, so Liu Bei's camp of 700 miles will be ridiculed by Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi as a person who does not know the soldiers.

Qiu Cheng was built on the back of the mountain, and the camp outside Qiu City was built on the back of the city, which was a good plan, but Qin Cheng, who had been waiting for the rabbit for a long time, had been observing in the distant forest for a long time with light horses, and the choice was that the army of the two kings had just arrived, ready to camp but had not yet formed, and the army was relatively most chaotic, so it launched a surprise attack and smashed its baggage troops.

The cavalry does not attack the grain and grass, and it is really sorry for the identity of the cavalry. Qin Cheng once said this to Liu Mu.

As for whether the baggage troops attacking the king of Huainan can succeed, it is another theory.

It is said that Li Dang led 2,000 light cavalry to break into the baggage camp of the two kings' coalition army, rushed left and right, and said that killing one person in ten steps is not enough to describe the light cavalry's soldiers, but should kill people step by step. The defensive strength of the formation assembled by the other party in a hurry is really limited, and the light cavalry is coming with momentum, and it is natural to rush and kill.

"Stop them, stop them!" A lieutenant in the baggage battalion watched the sergeants in the queue in front of him fall one after another, the hussar light cavalry was like a god descending from the earth, where the long knife flew must fly a burst of blood, his comrades fell miserably howling, and the queue must collapse wherever the horse's hooves went, he was both heartbroken and anxious, desperately rushing forward with the team around him, not forgetting to raise his sword and shout: "Death to those who retreat!" ”

"Spearman, go up!"

"Chariots, arrays!"

"Heavy pawns, array!"

"Archer, prepare!"

Flags, horns, and roars exploded at this moment, and a military order burst out from the captain's mouth with green tendons and beads of sweat on his forehead.

The alliance of the two kings is the standard Han army configuration, the team of 1,000 people includes various arms, heavy pawns and light archers, and this is generally based on the army as the basic unit, five people have long knives, halberds, archers, etc., in the battle with each other. However, in the face of light cavalry rushing over, if the soldiers rushed forward according to the ordinary military system, it was tantamount to looking for death. Fortunately, there are independent units in the baggage battalion, so it is not too troublesome for the lieutenant to be transferred.

Li Dang led the army to fight in front, unstoppable, and there was no enemy in front of him. But the accumulation of the number of heads finally won a short but precious time for the sergeants of the baggage battalion behind. After a hundred steps, Li Dang saw that although the enemy army formation in front of him was still thin, it already had a basic shape.

Li Dare grinned, his smile was cruel, and his thirst for murder was strong, if ordinary children saw it, they would definitely cry on the spot and dare not sleep for several days and nights. Over the years, Li Guang has followed Qincheng to fight in the east and west, participated in countless battles, and while bearing countless scars on his body, he has also tempered his strong martial arts and fierce temperament. Today's Li Kang is no longer the young man who would be jealous of Qin Cheng's talent in Shanggu, he has already become a qualified general, and he has a deep hussar brand.

Hussars, dare to fight, will fight, battle is like madness, blood does not dry, death does not truce.

Hussars, proud. These prides are nurtured in blood, and are formed to drink the blood of men in every battle.

Facing the hastily formed military formation in front of him, Li Dang smiled cruelly, and threw the long knife in his hand forward, which cut through the low altitude and pierced the chest of a spearman at the front of the military formation of the baggage battalion, knocking it out and knocking over three or five sergeants in succession.

After Li Dare gave up the knife, he grabbed the spear hanging from the horse's back and shouted: "Kill!" He was the first to break into the enemy's ranks.

Immediately after, countless hussars and light horsemen rushed out of the battle in front of them, and then rushed into those freshly formed formations.

In the entire Han army, the reason why the hussars are the most elite cavalry is far from only because their equipment is well-equipped and their training is cruel enough, but most importantly, because in the entire Han army, the hussars are the army with the most battles, the farthest running distance, the most miscellaneous dangers and the widest range of battles. From the upper valley into the army, to now, the hussars have entered the desert several times, conquered the Chaha land, set foot in the Xiongnu Dadan Yu royal court, broke the river, conquered the west of the river, so many times of tragic battles, the backbone of the hussars are from the blood pool, from the dead heap, from the hell crawled out of the warriors. After a hundred battles, the pawn has the courage, the general will have the bones, and the army will have the soul of the army.

It is precisely because of this that the tiger and wolf cavalry who dare to yelang arrogantly claim "six thousand tigers and wolves in the world" can only be bombarded and killed after facing the hussars.

Two thousand light horsemen fought into the enemy's formation, rolling up thousands of piles of blood, and its momentum was like a broom sweeping up the water in the courtyard, which was unstoppable.

It's easy to break the formation.

Kill all sides.

These troops, which may be called elite in Huainan Kingdom, are not worth mentioning in front of the hussar army that has been fighting for a long time. After all, they are an army that grew up in a peaceful and prosperous era, how can they know how many lives have been taken by the sergeant who almost everyone has a few scars on their backs?

The baggage camp is turned upside down.

Two thousand light horsemen, lightly breaking the army.

.................................................

Qiucheng Chengtou Tower.

Liu An's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, he clasped his hands together, clenched fiercely, his joints were white, his eyes were always staring at the outside of the city, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Is there really such a brave army in this world?"

Wu Huaisu sighed lightly, "Today Wu is an eye-opener, the world is rumored that the hussars are in the direction of the front, cutting thousands of troops like cutting grass mustard, today I am fortunate to see it, it is indeed true." ”

Liu An glanced at Wu Huaisu, his voice low and unstable, "The military advisor admires the hussars very much? ”

"Admire! Who in the world does not admire such an army? Wu Huaisu said, "Even as an opponent, he is also worthy of respect." ”

Liu An didn't speak.

Wu Huaisu smiled faintly and said leisurely: "But I feel even more regrettable." ”

"Oh?"

"Such an army can't be used by me, so I naturally feel sorry." Wu Huaisu said, there was a faint melancholy.

"This king thinks it's a pity." Liu An snorted coldly, but he didn't mean half a pity.

"Oh?"

"Shouldn't it be a pity that such an army is going to be buried here?" Liu An's voice was cold.

Wu Huaisu showed a wry smile, "The king is a little too confident. ”

Liu An turned his head and stared at Wu Huaisu, "What does the military advisor mean by this?" The hussars will definitely attack the grain and grass of our army, and this is the proposal of the military advisor. Let the baggage battalion lure the hussars and encircle them with a large army, which was also planned by the military division. Why is it that now, the military advisor is saying this? No matter how powerful his hussars are, after all, they have no wings, they have fallen into the trap of military divisions, and they are besieged by tens of thousands of troops, can they still fly out? ”

Wu Huaisu didn't mind Liu An's dissatisfaction, and said in a hurry: "I didn't know that the hussars were so strong before, but now that I feel the military might of the hussars, I know that my previous calculations may not be effective. "This is a miscalculation, please punish the king." ”

"Wait." Liu An waved his hand impatiently, "This king doesn't understand the meaning of the military advisor, no matter how strong the hussar army is, it is only about two thousand, how can it escape the calculation of the military advisor?" ”

"Your Majesty, please look." Wu Huaisu pointed to the baggage camp and explained: "The hussars have begun to retreat, and at this time, the encirclement of our army has not yet formed. The previously arranged sergeants who intended to hold back the hussars could not effectively slow them down under the strong onslaught of the hussars. What's more important is that this cavalry obviously came to burn grain and grass, and turned back when it was only a few hundred steps away from grain and grass. It was these hundreds of paces that allowed them to retreat with their whole body. ”

Liu An looked at the baggage camp, and sure enough, he saw that the two thousand hussars had begun to retreat, and those large armies that had come over had not yet drawn the encirclement, and the gap was still very large. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the gap was enough for the hussars to rush out.

"Why don't they burn grain and grass? How did they know that the king would gather a great army to join the siege? With only a few hundred paces away, how could they judge the fighters so accurately and retreat decisively? Liu An was surprised, and at the same time a little annoyed, "After coming and going for less than two moments, the hussars can't treat the war as a child's play?" ”

Wu Huaisu ignored Liu An's annoyance, but said carefully: "The king didn't notice that there was a rocket in the north of the city? It was undoubtedly the hussars' code, and it was this signal that commanded the hussars' actions. Wu Huaisu pointed to the north and said, "In that dense forest, there should be other hussars, who observe the situation on the battlefield and provide guidance for the hussars who are charging into battle. ”

Liu An was stunned and scolded hateful.

Liu An naturally knew that it was useless to send troops to that dense forest, not to mention whether he could catch up, even if he caught up, the cavalry who chased after him was estimated to be slaughtered by the hussars.

So, under the noses of Liu An and his army of hundreds of thousands, Li Dang led two thousand hussars to kill back and forth, and after destroying a camp for him and slaughtering hundreds of his soldiers, he waved his sleeves and walked away, which was extremely freehand.

"Hussars, this king's henchmen are in great trouble, and sooner or later they will be eliminated!" Liu An "watched" the two thousand hussars go away, and said angrily.

"This entry is only 5,000 hussars, and it is still so, after severely invading the tiger and wolf spirit cavalry, he kills people in front of an army of more than 100,000 like a leisurely stroll, if he changes to 30,000 hussars to come together, what should I do?" Liu Ling didn't know when he walked into the city, this is not young, but his demeanor is still shining, and his charm is more and more intriguing year by year, no matter when and where he is wearing gorgeous clothes, showing her heartthrob-like charm.

She saluted Liu An, and then looked at Wu Huaisu, obviously saying that she was saying something to him.

"The main force of the hussars is now in the north, and they are tasked with resisting the main force of the Huns, so they have no time to take care of anything else." Wu Huaisu said, "However, even if 30,000 hussars are coming, we don't need to be afraid, it's just that the soldiers will cover the water and the earth." ”

"It's easy for the military advisor to say." Liu Ling said coldly, "Today, two thousand hussars can swagger in front of my hundreds of thousands of troops, and we have nothing to do, if the thirty thousand hussars arrive, how will the military division deal with it?" Don't talk about it, the military advisor will directly say how to arrange the army! ”

"Don't be rude!" Liu An scolded Liu Ling and said, "How can you talk like this to the military advisor? ”

"My daughter knows her mistake." Liu Ling bowed to Liu An, but his eyes were still looking at Wu Huaisu.

Wu Huaisu was not angry, as if there was nothing in this world that could make his emotions fluctuate, he smiled lightly: "I dare to ask Lord Weng, do you know what is the purpose of Qin Cheng attacking the camp with two thousand light horsemen today?" ”

"Isn't it burning grain and grass?" After Liu Ling hesitated slightly, he asked tentatively.

"Of course not. If it really wants to burn grain and grass, Qin Cheng should let all the five thousand hussars be dispatched, not only that, but even the cavalry of the southern army may have to be mobilized together, and it is also possible to let the southern army cooperate with the action, so the chance of success is greater. Wu Huaisu said, "Qin Cheng attacked the camp today with two thousand light horses, looking at it for grain and grass, but in fact it is not. ”

"Why is that?" Liu Ling was stunned.

"Temptation."

"Temptation?"

Wu Huaisu looked out of the city, his eyes finally had a hint of heat, and he said in a deep voice: "Famous generals don't fight unknown battles. Qin Cheng just came to Yingchuan, he didn't know the depth of our army, and if he wanted to fight with our army, how could he not know about us in advance? In today's battle, maybe Qin Cheng has no intention of succeeding, what he wants is just to see how we deal with it, so as to judge our strength and facilitate future actions. ”

Liu An and Liu Ling were stunned, neither of them thought of this.

"So Lord Weng doesn't have to worry about today's battle. Qin Cheng is testing us, so why isn't he testing him? Wu Huaisu looked at Liu Lingdao, and then said with blazing eyes: "After the temptation, it will be the real battle." ”

At this moment, Wu Huaisu was full of fighting spirit.

.................................................

By the time Li Dang brought people back to the forest, Qin Cheng and the others were already lined up. Beckoning Li Dang and others into the battle, Qin Cheng waved his hand and ordered the army to leave this place and return to Daimyo.

Daimyo Castle is a large city second only to Yangyi Castle in Yingchuan, with high walls and deep ditches, complete military fortifications, and the basic conditions for a large army to defend.

When Qin Cheng led the army back to Daimyo City, it was already dusk. However, there were still many soldiers and civilians in and around the castle who were building fortifications, strengthening the castle walls, building castle defense equipment, or transporting vehicles to the castle walls.

Qin Cheng asked Li Dang to take the hussars to station, and he took Liu Mu Wang Er and a few personal soldiers to check how the fortifications were being built around the city wall.

Up to now, Qin Cheng's understanding of the city's offensive and defensive battles is still not deep enough, at least it can't be compared with his understanding of cavalry combat, so Qin Cheng pulled Liu Mu and let her have a good look. Liu Mu has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he has Li Guangzuo as a mentor, and his attainments in the offensive and defensive battles of the city are naturally not comparable to the half-baked son of Qin Cheng.

"The inner is the city, the outside is Guo, there is a moat outside Guo, or it is called a pool, the main defense of the city is to guard the outer city, that is, to guard Guo, to stick to a city, it is necessary to do the city repair, and the guard is sufficient." While following Qin Cheng to check the operations of the surrounding soldiers and civilians, Liu Mu explained to Qin Cheng, "The so-called city repair means to dredge the ditch, remove the sludge at the bottom of the ditch, and sometimes even expand the ditch, or drive a sharp pile at the bottom of the ditch. In addition to the regular repairs, the city should also build more wooden walls, so that the battlements can be damaged in time to plug the gaps. As for the preparation of the guards, they are nothing more than the defensive equipment on the city walls, as well as bows and arrows, and sometimes the city gates have to be dealt with......"

Qin Cheng watched and listened to it, he was very serious, he knew some of these things, and even studied them, but with the current reality, he just watched and listened, which was another realization.

"Front, get out of the way!" Qin Cheng was going up the city wall with everyone, and a heavy voice came from behind.

A big man with a ** upper body, carrying two large pieces of wood, is walking up from the city. The sassal wood on the man's body is the largest one, and it takes three or four people to lift one and throw it out of the city wall during the battle, and this man actually carries one on one shoulder, and the weight of nearly a thousand catties is on him, and he just lowers his head, and walks with a tiger's wind and a fast speed.

The big man's voice was rough, and his tone was not polite, Wang Er was a little angry when he heard it, and was about to scold him, Qin Cheng signaled to Wang Er that he didn't have to, and he took the initiative to step aside.

The big man passed through the crowd, did not squint, went up to the city wall, took three steps and made two steps, put the sassalo in place, and then wiped a handful of sweat at will, and took a deep breath, and did not look very tired.

"How many are there in the city?" After the big man put down the sassal wood, he asked his companion beside him.

"General Huiyu, there are more than a hundred and ten more." A sergeant beside him.

Qin Cheng originally just glanced at this man more, and didn't care too much, but when he heard the sergeant call him a general, he glanced at the man more.

The man was born slightly taller than Qin Cheng, with dark skin, and his muscles were terrifying one by one, but he was not clumsy, and he only made people feel strong.

The man glanced up at the sky and muttered, "
