Chapter 35: Strategy and Tactics

In broad daylight, Zhao Hao led the high-morale Beiwei army and the panicked Shanyue soldiers to cross the river in a big boat and launch a fierce attack on Xiakou.

Because the Wu army was annihilated in Jiangbei before, and no one was allowed to report back to the other side in time, the Wu army stationed in Xiakou did not expect that the warship under its own flag was an intruder, and when they found out, the armored Pang De had already killed the city gate, killed the guards at the gate with a knife, and pushed the city gate open with a pair of iron arms.

"Rush, rush me, kill those who stand in the way!"

Wu generals Liu Jing and Wu Shuo, who were in charge of staying in Xiakou, were still busy gathering their baggage and preparing to wait for the triumph of the Sun Jiao brothers before going to support the Jiangling battle.

"How many enemies are there? Is it Wei Jun? โ€

"It's not Wei Jun, and I can't count it clearly. It seems to be ...... Guan Yu's people are here! โ€

The banner of the Beiwei army was written with the word "Han" written in thick ink, and the bloodthirsty warriors broke through the city gate without much effort, and killed several major strongholds in Xiakou along the official roads and post roads like a tide.

Yan Dian reported to Zhao Hao about the deployment of the Wu army in the city, and he had been in the rear of the large army, watching the Beiwei army actually stride along the official road, Yan Dian's face showed a slight look of surprise.

You must know that the troops of this era are far from being professional, and the big head soldiers often have to loot a certain city, but the Beiwei army is different, they are uniform, and under the leadership of various grassroots commanders, they launch a brave charge towards the set goal, and there is not even a single one to harass the surrounding houses.

The people of Xiakou also felt this in amazement, many people hiding under the bed in the house listened to the shouting and killing outside and felt that it was difficult to escape, but the shouting and killing outside continued, and there was not a single chaotic army to kill and loot for a long time, and a few bold people even curiously stretched out their heads to look at the chaos outside, and when they saw the familiar armor, someone had already shouted excitedly.

"It's Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu is back."

"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's Uncle Liuhuang!"

Liu Bei had been entrenched in Xiakou for many years before, and he won the hearts of the people, and many people missed him very much.

In addition, the inflation under Sun Quan's rule was extremely alarming, and many people were no longer happy, and when they met Liu Bei's troops, many people almost cried out excitedly.

"This is the vast ocean of the people's war."

Of course, this kind of battle was not Zhao Hao's turn to charge in person, he accompanied Yan Dian to observe the battle of the troops in the rear, showing a pleased smile. Yan Dian couldn't figure out why Zhao Hao was so kind to their group of mountains, and seeing that Zhao Hao was happy, he also struggled to organize the language, and joked: "The general's command is brave and helpless, and the old slave admires it." โ€

Ma Jun on the side also stammered: "Okay...... Good...... It's so brave, it's really like ......"

"Is that also called bravery?" Zhao Hao, who was accustomed to seeing the powerful military appearance of later generations, shook his head gently, "It's still far away." Since the formation of the army in Xiangyang, our army has been constantly fighting, and there is not much time for preparation and training, and there is still a long way to go before the strongest army in the world. โ€

He patted Yan Dian on the shoulder and said, "Old man, can you see what is the way for our army's attack?" โ€

Yan Dian pondered slightly, and said: "When your army attacked, the troops were not swarmed up, but were scattered, but it did not affect the speed of the attack, and the archers of the Wu army were killed without causing much damage. This is...... Is this tactical? โ€

"Anything else?"

"There is also the fact that your army advanced very quickly after landing, and did not follow the essentials of the art of war 'encircling three and missing one', but divided the troops to outflank, it seems that the general wants to annihilate the Wu army in Xiakou City as much as possible."

Zhao Hao nodded approvingly, he had already seen that Yan Dian, an old man, had an extraordinary background, and he had a little more confidence in the plan he had made before.

He patiently explained: "This assault method is called the 'three-three system', and it is best used to attack the enemy's fortified positions, and it can effectively prevent the enemy's large-scale firepower...... Ah no, it's the bow and arrow array. I set up a squad of nine troops, and the squad leader, deputy squad leader, and team leader each led a group of three people to meet each other and carry out a surprise attack. This combat method was constantly practiced when our army was attacking Suixian and Anlu, and achieved very good results. In time, it will surely become an effective siege tactic for our army. โ€

"The general is really a heavenly man, and the old slave admires it."

Ma Jun heard it in a fog beside him, and said, "Then if the enemy's horse team rushes in, won't our scattered troops be rushed into a mess?" โ€

Zhao Hao was not annoyed, and patiently explained: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and different battle situations require different fighting methods.

This is just an offensive routine of our army, which tests the command ability of grassroots commanders. Oh, by the way, and once a breakthrough is formed, it must be pressed with a large force, and the enemy will never be given the opportunity to block the breakthrough.

As soon as the troops enter the city, they should also attack the enemy's headquarters and cut off their general's command over the subordinate troops......"

Zhao Hao kept explaining to Yan Dian the various methods of fighting, and while speaking, he stretched out his hands and kept gesturing, all kinds of experience and tactics made Yan Dian stunned when he heard it, and he felt a chill in his back for a while.

"General, why are you telling the old slave this?"

Zhao Hao didn't answer directly, but asked, "Mr. Yan, do you have a son?" โ€

Yan Dian's face was gloomy, and he said, "There are a few of them, all of whom died in the hands of Wu Jun." โ€

"Want revenge?"

Yan Dian's thin fingers trembled a few times, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart. has been tortured over the years, so that he has long lost the enthusiasm of his youth, where dare to directly respond to Zhao Hao's bold words.

Zhao Hao was not angry, and said: "Shanyue has many generals, but he lacks talents and does not understand tactics, so he was repeatedly bullied by Wu Guo and drove his father, brother and son to the battlefield. I carry the army as the Han Heavenly Army, and I should seek the well-being of all the people in the world, since I see Shanyue like this, I will save the people of Shanyue from fire and water. โ€

Ma Jun looked at Zhao Hao with a stunned expression of eating something unclean, and Yan Dian also wondered if he was hallucinating, and said in his heart how Zhao Hao said such shameless words with righteous words.

"Our mountain is more and more difficult, the general is benevolent and righteous, if the general does not give up, the old slave is willing to lead everyone to drive the general."

"You still don't understand what I mean." Zhao Hao said, "If you join our army, but save thousands of people, and there are still tens of thousands of Shanyue people living in dire straits, I hope to send a message to them through you: the Han has not given up on them, they must continue to fight, and they must not bow to warlords like Sun Quan." โ€

If Pang De and Lu Luan were there, they would definitely have vomited on the spot in disgust.

But Ma Jun is a real person, and Zhao Hao used this kind of announcer to read big-character posters for a long time, and he actually felt a burst of blood boiling, and couldn't help but bow down and say: "General Zhao is benevolent and righteous, please accept the grass people." โ€

Bite. The system starts again: Congratulations on unlocking the achievement "Followers", the success of an emperor is inseparable from the efforts of countless followers, now you can view the list of followers and feel their appeals.

Damn, there's followers.

Ma Jun is really easy to fool. Zhao Hao smirked for a long time, and suddenly came back to his senses.

Emperor......

The ultimate task of this system doesn't want to force Lao Tzu zร ofวŽn, right?

Yan Dian didn't know that there was a storm in Zhao Hao's mind now, although Zhao Hao's impassioned speech just now gave him a lot of impact, but his age was no longer as enthusiastic as when he was young, I heard that Zhao Hao didn't want to take them in, but wanted them to do things in the rear of Dongwu, Yan Dian's old face wrinkles seemed to be a little deeper.

"General Zhao, the old slave broke an arm in Shiyang, and he is already a wasted person, I'm afraid I can't afford such a heavy responsibility as General Zhao."

Zhao Hao patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I won't let you do such a difficult thing as soon as you come up." You are just an ordinary sergeant who has joined our army now, and if you can do what I say, you will definitely be able to find a good background that will leave a name in history. โ€

Zhao Hao never expected that he would fool the white-haired old devil who would make Dongwu frightened in the future, and now Yan Dian, who was full of sadness, was about to become a terrifying nightmare that Dongwu would linger in the future, which is of course a later story.
