Chapter 4 The wise man sees things late

Gongsun Xundong watched the fire, and at the beginning of the war, he sensed the other party's intentions in this battle, but he did not move...... It's not that Xu You's strategy didn't capture the character traits of this General Wei, on the contrary, this strategy really hit the nail on the head, and Gongsun Xun was really tempted.

After all, this kind of strategy that targets the personality traits of the opposing commander is really the most difficult to guard against, because it crosses all the staff teams and intelligence systems of a mature military group and directly attacks the opponent's decision-making head.

As for Gongsun Xun's character, there is nothing to say, how many years, especially after Dong Gongcheng became the central ruler of the world, I don't know how many people with intentions are staring at this General Wei, reviewing his resume, thinking about his past, in order to profit from it...... Who doesn't know that this general is arrogant and compassionate, who doesn't know that he likes to face difficulties the most, and who doesn't know that he likes to finish his work in one battle?!

So at that moment, Gongsun Xun really wanted to give a direct order and let Xu Rong lead Wan to ride over.

However, Xu Ziyuan misjudged one thing, which made Gongsun Xun a little less interested in directly stepping into the past. So, the Wei general held back.

Not only that, but he also ordered Han Dang, who was in the easternmost part, so that the 8,000 cavalry led by Han Yigong and his people would not move for the time being.

The battle became more and more intense, following Jiao Touch's death, and soon, a message for help came from the front line, and Yu Fuluo really couldn't bear the heavy casualties of his own people, and regardless of the possible serious political consequences after the battle, he directly sent the Lingyu knight, and asked for a little retreat in a panic.

Gongsun Xun's reply was very simple, he asked this Lingyu knight from the Huns to go directly with his Yicong to Guan Yunchang, who was in charge of the battle situation on the left flank, to send an order, asking him to strictly urge the Hun cavalry to step forward...... If there is a trespasser, kill it directly!

Of course, Guan Yunchang would not save face for a Hun Shan Yu, and the supervising team immediately stepped forward.

Instead of being allowed to retreat, he was replaced by a team of warlords, and Yu Furo only felt trembling all over, and was terrified to the extreme.

It is said that a few years ago, when the situation collapsed and the heroes rose together, he certainly took advantage of the situation to become ambitious, and together with his own brother Hu Chuquan, he united Zhang Yang to once divide the party and echo Yuan Shao, but in the past two years, the two brothers have been following Gongsun Xun as righteous subordinates, completely isolated from the soldiers and horses of the royal court and the Xiongnu tribes in the north, but they have already been polished a little docile.

So, once Gongsun Xun showed such a posture, the tamed Yu Fuluo was the first to tremble.

In fact, not to mention that Yu Fuluo and these thousands of Hun cavalry have been domesticated for a long time, even if he has some other thoughts in his heart, there is no other way at this time...... Or else? What else can you do at this time, do you want to defect and surrender to Yuan Shao?

In all fairness, after staying by Gongsun Xun's side for a long time, Yu Fuluo really doesn't think Yuan Shao can win against that person, okay?! Isn't it self-defeating?!

"General Wei has an order, and the Lingyu Knight will follow me!" Just when Yu Luo was frightened, Hu Chuquan next to him had a hideous face, and then suddenly pulled out the head knife in the middle of his waist.

Immediately, in the stunned eyes of his own brother, he actually led the original Wang Tingzhiwei and the current Lingyu Guard, and rushed out of the safe command position, directly heading towards the front line of casualties and injuries.

Yu Fuluo looked at his younger brother in a daze, and for a moment he wanted to call the other party down and replace him, but as the last orthodox Shan Yu of the Xiongnu royal family, especially his son who stayed in Chang'an, the heir of the nickname Liu Bao was only seven years old, but he didn't dare to say much, so he could only let the other party rush into the battlefield and fight in person.

War is a weird thing.

Cavalry-to-cavalry battles were rapid, bloody, and costly; But infantry-to-infantry combat, especially the collision between heavily formed heavy infantry, gave a slow, heavy, and even tedious feel.

Back in front of him, Gongsun Xun's immobility directly caused the battlefield to develop in a strange direction...... On the one hand, there was a small part of the local battlefield, especially the place where the cavalry collided, and the two sides were sharply attrition between each other; On the other hand, most of the battlefields, or the main body of the war, are caught in the so-called tug-of-war.

In other words, although there were many casualties on both sides and the fighting was fierce, compared with the huge number of troops and the depth of the military formations on both sides, the casualties caused by the contact surfaces of the two sides were not enough to cause the formation to collapse and then further lead to a breakthrough in the battle situation.

In fact, Yuan Shao, who quickly stopped beating drums because of exhaustion, stood on top of a specially made tall horse drum cart, looking at the front line, only to feel that the entire battlefield had almost been reduced to a common game in the army today - a tug-of-war competition...... On the battle line that stretched for more than ten miles, it was not that no one was brave enough to move forward and gain momentum for a while, but they were soon surrounded on three sides because of the advance rush, and then they were squeezed by more long-range strikes and more infantry, and were forced to retreat; It was not without a few troops who suffered heavy losses during the retreat, but soon a large number of reserve troops would come behind them, replace them, and then recover the decline.

The two sides come and go, and the battle line sometimes moves forward and sometimes swings back at the cost of the lives and blood of the soldiers, giving people a sense of being far away.

All this made Yuan Benchu a little anxious.

"Lord!" Guo Tu carefully avoided Wen Chou's corpse and struggled to climb onto the drum car. "There was a military situation from the east, Han Yigong had a full 8,000 cavalry, but he didn't try to outflank him, but just used the method of cavalry and archery to assist Guan Yunchang from the flank. From this point of view, Xu Ziyuan's strategy not only did not work, but aroused the vigilance of the other party...... And if we continue like this, it is impossible for us to win, but when we withdraw our troops at dusk, the opponent's cavalry will definitely take advantage of our battle line to shake and pursue forward in a big way, and at that time, it may cause our army to collapse and chase all the way to the city of Liangqi! ”

"That's okay!" Chen Gong, who was in the car next to him, shouted hard before Yuan Shao. "Liang Qicheng is only more than ten miles away behind him, and the Houjun General is only seven or eight miles away from Dazhai outside the city! At such a short distance, as long as the four main forces of our army do not collapse, and can maintain the formation to support each other and slowly retreat, the opponent's cavalry is not enough to affect the overall situation, and the killing and wounding are limited...... Besides, when we came, we arranged a large number of torches behind us, and guided them directly to the city, so that the opposing cavalry might not take advantage of them. ”

"I know all of this!" Guo Tu also struggled to answer. "But no matter what, as long as the opposing cavalry chases down to the city, this battle will still be lost in the eyes of the world...... Shouldn't we win a battle? ”

"What's your idea?"

"Do you have any great ideas?!"

On the noisy battlefield, Yuan Shao and Chen Gong spoke almost in unison, but the former asked sincerely, and the latter questioned on the spot.

"My lord, there is no way to win!" Seeing Yuan Shao speak, Guo Tu no longer paid attention to Chen Gong, but climbed the wheel and said to Yuan Benchu. "I just want to say, since Gongsun Xun on the opposite side has obviously seen through Xu Ziyuan's strategy, shouldn't we take back the last bit of our cavalry seeds, and the last bit of General Wenchou of the province died in front of the battle? Is it possible to let the troops of General Yu Ban, who are unable to participate in the battle because of the triangular array in the east, come forward to engage in the battle? General Yu Ban and his Taishan soldiers are our rare main elite, do you want him to sit in the rear and watch the victory at this time? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao and Chen Gong faced each other in the air, but they were embarrassed together.

In other words, although Guo Tu came up this time with the intention of accusing Xu You of failing to make a plan, on the whole, he did not do anything in the battle, but really pointed out a problem - when Gongsun Xun obviously peeked into the situation, and did not try to enter the gap between the two heavy army groups to try to win a big victory as he thought before, should he continue to waste elite troops in such a scorching battle to maintain this so-called trap? !

The cavalry that goes to be used as a decoy is indeed precious!

The Yu Forbidden Department, which was dragging behind the triangle array, was indeed sitting!

The surrounding sounds are extremely noisy, and the battlefield is not as neat and orderly as it was at the beginning, the Chinese army department is constantly sending information from various generals to their respective military information, and Yuan Shao's tiger guards are also constantly going back and forth to convey military orders...... However, I don't know why, in the chaotic atmosphere, Chen Gong, who was in a dilemma, was also a little flustered.

You must know that with his character, he should take the initiative to stand up at this time and tell Yuan Shao directly that Yu Ban can't move, and the cavalry lets them die, because maybe Gongsun Xun won't be able to hold it back in the next moment! Or directly make a decision and tell Yuan Shao that the forbidden department should step forward immediately, and the cavalry should quickly retreat!

However, Chen Gongtai was indeed in a dilemma for a while...... Before the war, he really didn't think that this level of battle would be so tormenting, and his trust in Xu Youcai also prompted him not to make too many plans for this, at that time, he was able to grit his teeth and respond to this strategy, he was already very courageous, and everyone was worried about what would happen once Gongsun Xun really pierced through the military formation? Instead of the current weird appearance, do you want to continue to maintain this trap?

Yuan Shao saw that Chen Gong did not speak, but he did not persecute him, and he had to respect the other party's strategic planner in the war.

"The public rule will return," as soon as he thought of this, Yuan Benchu immediately spoke. "Wait a little longer, maybe Gongsun Wenqi is waiting for our cavalry to suffer more damage, and then send troops, so as to minimize the obstacles there, and you go to the east of the Chinese army's large array to carefully observe and supervise those cavalry, and if there is an accident, you will report back again......"

Guo Tu looked back at Chen Gong, who was speechless, but bowed to Yuan Shao again, and then jumped off the wheel, got on the horse with a knife and went east.

…………

"Is Ming Gong waiting for Yuan Benchu to move first?" After a while, on the other side of the battlefield, under the umbrella of Gongsun Xun's General Wei, the military advisor Xun You suddenly stepped forward, took the initiative to approach, and asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Gongsun Xun did not hide it. "Since Yuan Benchu agrees with Xu Ziyuan's risky strategy, he must also be looking forward to victory rather than holding each other's attrition, even so, I thought it would be better to wait and see if he would be impatient first...... If he moves, I move again, maybe I can pierce in one fell swoop and avoid too many risks! ”

"Ming Gong." Xun You reminded in a low voice. "Xu Ziyuan's strategy is to use the opportunity of a big victory and a complete victory to tempt Ming Gong to do it; And if Ming Gong wants Yuan Benchu to move first, he must have some bait or coercion, right? You must know that Ming Gong once had a conversation with us, saying that Yuan Shaoqi was resourceful and indecisive...... He can make this situation, not necessarily his own decision, but someone may make a decision for him, coupled with the pre-war scandal, his heart may have secretly chaotic intentions, so the person who Ming Gong treats is not only Yuan Shao, but also someone else! ”

Gongsun Xun was slightly stunned, but suddenly woke up: "If it weren't for Gongda, I would have almost made a mistake, I just thought that Yuan Shao would die when he saw small profits, and he would regret his life when he did big things, and sooner or later he couldn't help but move first...... But I forgot that my opponent today is not only Yuan Shao, but also Chen Gong! Gongda, what kind of person do you think Chen Gongtai is? ”

"The subordinates are not familiar with Chen Gong." Xun Yu whispered to each other. "But judging from his previous actions, his subordinates thought that this person had an obvious flaw......"

"Come on."

"There is wisdom but not reach, ability but not tolerance, but to turn to arbitrary!"

"Gongda is saying that although Chen Gong is a courtier, he hopes that everything will be dominated by him, although his talent and quality are so lacking that he is not enough to be compared with Jiang Taigong and Zhang Zifang, but he always hopes to be able to control the overall situation, so that there will be a situation where he is unable to reach and makes a mistake in judgment?"

"Yes!"

"So dealing with this kind of person, is it possible to complicate the situation, make it beyond his judgment, and then force him to make wrong decisions in the chaos?" Gongsun Xun continued to inquire about each other.

"My subordinates thought they could." Xun You still whispered to each other.

Gongsun Xun raised his head, his eyes swept over the staff, officers, and military officials who were curiously staring at him here, but he ignored them, but looked around at the battle situation, and then suddenly raised his voice and asked: "Didn't Yuan Shao subdue many Taihang bandits, where are they?" ”

"Returning to the king," Lou Gui did not give in. "To the west, opposite General Cheng Pu, the right flank of our army, that is, on the left flank of the enemy...... Mixed with some local heroes! Xu Ziyuan coordinated and commanded there. ”

"It should be Yuan Shao's weakest link there, right?" Gongsun Xun frowned and asked.

"Exactly." Lou Gui replied nervously. "However, these bandits are bandits who have accumulated years after all, and they may not be able to fight for a long time, but at this time, they are mixed with a huge army formation, and they have not yet shown fatigue, and they are still enough to support the situation. Moreover, the right wing of our army is actually our weakest link, and most of the infantry soldiers led by General Cheng Demou are new soldiers of the Changshan and Zhongshan armies who have not been in battle, and they rely on the cavalry of Tian Yu and Tian Sima to cooperate to a certain extent, which can be quite ...... When the formation was arrayed, we tacitly understood that it was precisely because we saw that the other party's elite Ju Yi, Li Jin and other troops were in the east, so we placed the soldiers and horses of General Guan Yu and Captain Xu Huang on the opposite side, and the cavalry of Yigong was also placed on the east side, in order to outflank an elite army in case the sun fell. ”

"I don't mean to question your formation." Gongsun Xun looked at the western front and sneered. "But to hear you say that, the enemy in the west can only maintain the situation if they don't encounter the elite who really exceed the limit, right?"

"Yes......"

"In front of the Chinese army, the cavalry of Zhongshan and Changshan and the infantry led by Gao Shun?"

"Yes!"

"Let them all go to the right flank and assist Cheng Pu!" Gongsun Xun suddenly solemnly ordered. "Tell them, don't keep your hands, I want to see the direct results in the shortest possible time!"

"It's naturally okay to let General Yokono (Gao Shun) go to the west, but in this way, wouldn't the door be wide open in front of us?" Tian Feng rushed forward and asked. "What is the general's plan? Is it to lure the enemy? With all due respect, most of the enemy's troops are shield-wielding soldiers, and once they get close, even if our army is encircled, they may not be able to eat it immediately. ”

"It's not a lure to the enemy, and there's no plan!" Gongsun Xun replied awe-inspiringly. "I just want to see how the other generation copes...... Anyway, the Chinese army and the reserve of our army are all cavalry, but most of the Chinese army of their generation are big shield armorers...... Are you still worried about being confronted head-on by them and squeezed to death with shields? In short, this thing can be done without suffering! ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, but Gongsun Xun had already ordered directly.

On the other side, once Gao Shun and Zhao Yun and other generals of the Chinese army received the order, they immediately ordered it, the cavalry held it, and the front row of the infantry stood with a big shield, and then retreated in turn, making the central army of the Yuan army almost continue to advance, causing bursts of shouts. Without the military intelligence report, Yuan Shao and Chen Gong had already noticed the abnormality here.

They saw with their own eyes that Gao Shun, the world-famous general who was regarded by them as an important enemy in advance, actually took the initiative to lead the trapped camp to give up the frontal battlefield, and with the help of the cavalry of the general surnamed Zhao, who had defeated Wen Chou before, turned to the west.

"Raise your spear!"

After another moment, before the battle formation somewhere in the east, the Youzhou cavalry of Tian Yu's department, which had just rounded the flank of a Yuan army and fired a salvo, saw the arrival of the Changshan cavalry of Zhao Yun's department, but they immediately walked to the east with skillful cooperation, giving up the tactical space, and Zhao Yun led a thousand cavalry from his headquarters to gallop over, and he also raised his spear in unison under the order of his own commander.

Didn't you continue the last round of long-range strikes, but actually want to directly charge and trample with a spear?

This Yuan army, which had just suffered a round of arrow rain, did not dare to slack off, and the spearmen in it immediately gathered in the direction of this cavalry, and then raised the spears in their hands, far away! A foot soldier who is prepared for defense, when the flanks and rear are properly protected, are not afraid of cavalry charges at all!

However, Zhao Yunlin, who was charging ahead, came to the front of the opponent's formation, but chose the same retreat route as Tian Yu's department before, made a turn, drew an arc in front of the enemy formation, and flashed into the strategic space specially reserved for the cavalry in the Cheng Pu large array at a distance of more than ten steps from the opponent.

It seemed that it was just a threat, or it was simply intimidated by the strict precautions of the opponent's large array, and had to give up the intention of charging.

However, just when Yuan Jun, who had raised his spear in this part, was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a loud roar from the enemy general who took the lead in charging and brushing the front of the formation, and struggled to order:

"Throw!"

A simple syllable, on the battlefield, Yuan Jun didn't react even if he heard it, but it didn't matter, as the cavalry that followed Zhao Yun turned around threw the spear in his hand at the turn, and the Yuan army on the opposite side raised his spear to defend comprehended the power of this syllable with huge casualties!

They never expected that the cavalry on the battlefield would actually throw their main battle spears for a single kill! And a whole cavalry threw spears at themselves one after another!

It is important to know that throwing a spear is of course one of the common tactical actions on the battlefield, regardless of whether it is on horseback, and it is extremely lethal, but this kind of thing is generally done by a single soldier in a desperate situation or on the way to a pursuit. In fact, whether it is cavalry or infantry, their main battle spears are not designed for throwing at all, and once thrown, it is difficult to retract! If you don't hit, you will be picked up by the other party and used again!

As for spears specifically used for throwing, specially designed collective spear-throwing tactics certainly existed, and were widespread, but they were more popular in Rome and its surroundings thousands of miles away, and the Eastern Empire, at least at this time, was indeed rare.

And frankly speaking, although the damage is extremely great and the effect is excellent, so a thousand cavalry almost defeated the protection of this 2,000 Yuan army after a round of investment, but the sergeants of the two armies who glimpsed this tactic from a distance did not think that this Changshan cavalry with the banner of Zhao Zi was so wise...... It wasn't until the cavalry threw their spears that the famous trapping banner appeared behind the cavalry with more than a thousand elite armorers, and then rushed into the enemy formation on foot, massacring the enemy troops who had lost the protection of the formation.

This Yuan army, which numbered as many as 2,000 people, collapsed almost immediately, becoming the first unit on the entire battlefield to lose its armor and abandon its armor, and their generals, Tao Sheng, the former leader of the Black Mountain Thieves and the former Huang Xiao, who was named Zhonglang General because he protected Yuan Shao's family, was also killed on the spot directly under the attack of the wolf and tiger in the camp, but he didn't know who took advantage of it.

Zhao Yun took his subordinates around, calmly followed behind the trapped camp to retrieve his main battle spear, and then went straight to the flank of the trapped camp, trying to assist the other party to continue to expand the results.

After an interval of a quarter of an hour, Yuan Shao and Chen Gong, who were being shaken by the sudden and large advance of the front army, received a military intelligence report from the left flank in the west, but they were once again a little caught in some strange confrontational posture.

It may be wrong to say that it is a confrontation, but it is true on the surface...... Yuan Shao and Chen Gong stood on two cars, facing each other, but neither of them could make a decision.

Yuan Shao is resourceful and decisive, at this critical moment, he is looking forward to Chen Gong, who has always been able to make decisions for himself, to speak, and Chen Gong wants to make a decision but falls into a dazed mood for a while, and at the same time, he will never allow himself to be so indecisive anymore.

The last time Guo Tu came here, his silence could also be regarded as refusing to remove the trap, and continuing to maintain the consumption of the bait cavalry and the immobility of the forbidden department, but what about these two times?

Just now, the Chinese army reported that they had successfully advanced after the sudden withdrawal of the enemy forces in front, but the equipment of the troops was not aimed at cavalry and needed support...... At that time, Chen Gong had already hesitated once, he really didn't know if this was a trap or some other tactic, so he hesitated for a while and didn't dare to send reinforcements!

However, if you don't send the Yuan army, what if you let the front army fall into it like this, and finally be caught by the cavalry?

And this time, the battle situation in the west suffered the most straightforward collapse of the establishment since the beginning of the war, which made him anxious and had a difference in thinking about Gongsun Xun's true purpose!

What exactly is the other party going to do?

"Gongtai, what is Gongsun Wenqi going to do?" On the drum car, Yuan Shao finally couldn't help but ask earnestly. "And how do we deal with it? Do you want to send reinforcements? Which reinforcements to send? Where are they going? Is it to help the defense of the west, or to help the Chinese army to advance forward? ”

"Lord, don't hesitate!" During the confrontation, Guo Tu went and returned, but he raised his voice in public to persuade Yuan Shao. "In front, the Huns fought in front of Yu Fuluo personally, and our cavalry was almost unable to hold on...... Please make a decision quickly! ”

Yuan Shao bowed slightly: "What does the public think?" ”

Guo Tu opened his mouth to speak.

And at this moment, Chen Gong blurted out the other party almost instinctively, and preemptively said: "Lord, as far as this is concerned, the only way to do it is to give it a go, and send it to the forbidden Taishan soldiers to break through the Chinese army in response to the white horse righteousness...... Anyway, it was just a three-point victory, and the fighter is here, so how can you wait?! ”

Yuan Shao took a long breath, and he was also awe-inspiring again: "What the public platform said is good, you can't hesitate anymore, pass on my military order, and send it to the forbidden department forward!" Where the white horse is! ”

"Yu Ban moved!" A moment later, Lou Zibo, who had been puzzled for a while under the White Horse Banner, suddenly followed Gongsun Xun's line of sight and noticed a rough movement in the opposite military formation, and then suddenly woke up. "No matter where he goes, the triangular array to the east of the enemy army is demolished! Prince, it's time to send troops! ”

"Bojin!" Gongsun Xun's face was as usual, and he looked back at Xu Rong, who had been waiting for a long time. "Yicong is also with you, I will be stationed in the Yunchang Formation, 11,000 elite cavalry, don't care about anything else, as long as you, Yide, and Wenyuan will pass through the gap for me and gather the righteous Gong in the future! This battle is enough to achieve great success! ”

Xu Rong leaned over to receive the order, and when he raised his head, Gongsun Xun had already beaten his horse and went east.

β€”β€”β€”β€”I'm the dividing line straight to the eastβ€”β€”β€”β€”

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, Taizu of this dynasty attacked Yuan Shao anxiously, and Shao took Chen Gong as the general shogunate, taking charge of the war situation, and it was difficult to settle the matter, and Taizu was more and more unable to do it. Xun Yu was on the side, and he began to offer a plan and said: 'Chen Gongtai has wisdom but is lacking, he is resourceful and late, especially arbitrary, but he can take it from chaos! Taizu said from his words, the palace is to take care of one and lose the other, and make a mistake. β€”"The World Speaks New Words". Appreciation
