Chapter 16: On the Might of the Trap

On the second day, the Xianbei army came, and the company personally led the army to besiege the north gate, the west gate and the east gate were attacked by two thousand people, and the south gate was left not to attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, although they knew the strategy of encircling and encircling three and one, they could see the large force of cavalry stretching outside the north gate, Su Wei and Gao Shun couldn't help but cast a shadow in their hearts, and today's battle was only afraid that it would be even more difficult than yesterday.

Gao Shun naturally became the decision-maker of this battle, although Su Wei is the head snake, but the troops in his hands were almost exhausted in yesterday's battle, and the rest are just some strong people.

There are a lot of private soldiers in each family, but this force is not suitable for battlefield fighting, this is the last resort used to save life when it is absolutely necessary, including the disabled wolf horse, although this force is a drop in the bucket, but it can come in handy at a critical time, Su Wei does not plan to put it into the war.

Gao Shun sent the infantry to the east and west gates to guard, defending the city and attacking the city is not the same, the soldiers defending the city occupy the right time and place, and can be completely one as ten, so the art of war has clouds: ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and the times are to fight, the enemy can divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided.

The cavalry of Helian is five times that of the Han army, so the strategy he adopted is to directly attack the city gate, encircling three missing one, it seems that the heavy troops will be hoarded at the north gate, in fact, as long as the east and west two gates are slightly declining, it will immediately become the main battlefield, this truth Gao Shun will not understand, the only way is to defend the city gate to the death.

"The enemy is ready to attack!" Seeing that the Xianbei cavalry began to divide his troops to attack the city, Su Yu's heart went up and down, and he tried to find Su Chen's figure in the military array, but in the end he found nothing.

Gao Shun also showed a solemn expression on his face at this time, especially when he saw the surging cavalry, he was like a great enemy, ready to fight to the death with the enemy.

"Look! What are Xianbei people doing? Could it be that they want to step on the city walls? A soldier saw the strange movements of the Xianbei soldier and immediately exclaimed.

Su Wei and Gao Shun also looked at it, and sure enough, they saw Xianbei cavalry dragging cloth bags on their horses, galloping on horses, and it seemed that they were about to step on the city wall.

The first group of Xianbei cavalry frantically went straight to the city gate, and when they reached the outside of the moat, they saw that the soldiers were suddenly divided into two, and each turned their horses and scattered to both sides, and then saw one by one the soldiers tearing the cloth bags on the horse's back and throwing them directly into the moat.

Seeing this scene, Gao Shun didn't know what the other party was going to do, and Su Wei also understood the other party's intentions: "It's not good, Gao Duwei, and Lian are trying to fill the moat." ”

"That's not all!" Gao Shun looked at the moat that had dried up, and then looked at the large number of cavalry swarming on the opposite side, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and said: "Helian doesn't just want to fill in the moat, I'm afraid he wants to pile up a dirt slope outside the city gate, and then ride up the stairs and directly step on the city gate." ”

"What?" Su Wei looked at the surging crowd and had to believe this fact, he didn't expect that the steppe people who had always been reckless had also learned the art of war, and they were still unheard of, unseen horses stepping on the city wall, and even he could really succeed?

Perhaps in order to answer Su Wei's doubts, he only heard Gao Shun continue: "He Lian has two intentions in doing this, one is to attack the city, and the other is to force us to fight with him out of the city, the Han army field battle is by no means the opponent of the Xianbei cavalry, but I didn't expect He Lian to come up with such a strange siege method, so I am afraid that the Han frontier will be troublesome in the future." ”

"yes!" Su Wei also had to agree with Gao Shun's words when he heard this, who would have thought that the siege of the city could be attacked like this, the Han army attacked the city, using rushing cars, ladders, ballistas, etc., and the siege has always been the work of the infantry, and I have never heard that the cavalry can still attack the city.

Originally, he thought that even though the Xianbei cavalry had a large number of men and horses, the cavalry was not good at attacking the city, and it would take a day to build siege equipment and delay it, and once the reinforcements of several other captains arrived, there would be a glimmer of life at that time.

Moreover, with Gao Shun's 3,000 elites and a large number of people in the city to assist, it is almost impossible for Helian to break through the Wuyuan Fortress with 20,000 cavalry.

It's just that I didn't expect Helian to come up with such a miraculous method of attacking the city, using cloth bags to pile up a mountain of soil, as long as a ladder is formed, then the cavalry can rush up to the city tower, even if there are archers on the city wall to guard, but in the face of a steady stream of cavalry, it can only be a drop in the bucket, once this pile of soil into a mountain of land is successful, the five sources are self-defeating.

"Captain Gaodu, how should this be?" Su Wei was already in a hurry, his Su family had just made some improvements, and he was about to make a big show, and there were successors, but he didn't expect that one bad news after another came at this time, first his son was captured, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and then the city gate was about to break, but it was chaotic for a while.

"Helian is obviously prepared." Gao Shun is not wrong in what he said, yesterday he company only brought 5,000 light cavalry to come, and the large army behind was obviously preparing for today's siege, I didn't expect a Xianbei person to have such a strategy, this is really not the blessing of the Han Dynasty.

"How's that to be?" Su Wei asked this sentence again.

Gao Shun looked at the breakthrough that was getting higher and higher, as if he had made up his mind, turned to Su Wei and said solemnly: "Su County Order, this city gate will be handed over to you, and I am ready to take the eight hundred traps out of the city for a decisive battle." ”

"What?" As if he didn't believe his ears, Su Wei exclaimed: "Gao Duwei, this is not the time to joke, you have only 800 people, how can you be the opponent of Xianbei's 20,000 iron cavalry?" This plan is not appropriate, this plan is not appropriate! ”

Gao Shun looked at the cavalry outside the city contemptuously, and said: "Su County Order, please rest assured, I am not sure, I dare not rashly go out of the city for a decisive battle, this Xianbei cavalry is brave, but I don't understand the method of military formation, I am 800 soldiers in the camp, the same pot for food, and the same bed for sleep, has already been trained into a foot battle formation, 800 people are like arm commands, the same person, although there are many Xianbei cavalry, Shun has the confidence to fight with the enemy. ”

"Captain Gao Du is actually proficient in the art of military formation?" Hearing this answer, Su Wei was really relieved, and his originally tense nerves relaxed in an instant, it was not that he was careless about the enemy, but that the technique of this military formation was too magical.

The simple technique of the military formation is nothing more than the coordinated operation between the soldiers, in unison, which can gather the strength of all people into a powerful momentum, even if it is a master of the True Martial Realm and the Divine Martial Realm, in the face of the powerful military formation, they have to retreat.

It is rumored that when the Han Dynasty came out, there was a great general Han Xin, proficient in the art of military formation, the more soldiers the better, as long as only a hundred people can match a master of the true martial arts realm, a thousand people of the phalanx is enough to defeat a master of the Shenwu realm, according to legend, Han Xin practiced such a phalanx to 100,000, million, so he helped Gaozu to set the world, together with the eight wilderness.

At that time, Xiang Yu was a master of the Divine Martial Realm Refining Period, a cultivation genius who was rare in a hundred years, and his cultivation was thorough, but in front of Han Xin's powerful military array, he finally killed himself in Wujiang, otherwise how could a small Wujiang trap a monk in the Divine Refining Period?

Han Xin also because of his strange arts, his prestige is too great, and he has threatened the status of the imperial power, so the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooked, and finally his life is returned to Huangquan, and after his death, the powerful military array technique is also lost.

Later, during the Han Wu period, there were no famous generals and fierce generals, but the generals who could train into a 100,000 army formation like Han Xin never appeared again, at most, Huo Qubing trained into a 10,000-strong cavalry army formation, and beat the Huns to the point of losing their armor.

Compared with the infantry phalanx, the cavalry phalanx is ten times more difficult, and the biggest problem is that every soldier must practice the art of integrating man and horse, so that it is possible to train the cavalry phalanx.

Gao Shun is a family of generals, but he understands the skills of this infantry phalanx, which is also the foundation of the Gao family, but with his talent, he can practice these eight hundred camps at most after several years.

"What did Captain Gao say about the eight hundred elites he brought yesterday?" Su Wei, the 800 soldiers in the camp, has seen them, all of them stand like green pines, and they act like hurricanes, which is really rare elite soldiers, but I didn't expect that the soldiers of this battalion actually practiced the art of military formation.

"Not bad!" When it comes to the soldiers of the 800 camps, Gao Shun is very proud, he can name each of these brothers, and many of them are his friends in life and death.

As a family of generals, the Gao family will collect orphans and young children when each generation is young, raise them, and gradually eliminate them through training when they are older, and finally form an army by contemporary heirs, which is the origin of the camp.

At the beginning, there were no less than 2,000 people living with Gao Shun, and when they finally formed the army, only these 800 people remained, and these 800 people were only loyal to Gao Shun alone, staying by his side all day long.

The momentum of 800 people is superimposed into one person, what kind of scene will it be? The rumored art of the military formation, I didn't expect that one day, he Su Wei would be able to see it with his own eyes, it was really in vain.

This is not to blame Su Wei for being surprised, after all, up to now, there are too few generals who can understand the art of military formation, such generals, no matter how their own cultivation is, this ability alone is enough to become the guest of honor of any big force, as the so-called one trick eats all over the world, this is the reason.

"Then the city tower will be handed over to Su County." Gao Shun clenched his fists and was about to go down the stone stairs.

Su Wei also replied solemnly: "Captain Gaodu, please rest assured, the city tower will be handed over to Su, the city is here, and the city is destroyed." ”

"So, take care!" At this moment, you don't need too many words, one look is enough.

"Take care!" Seeing Gao Shun go down the city gate, Su Wei turned his gaze back to the outside of the city, and when he saw it, he immediately shouted that it was not good, and quickly ordered the archers to meet the enemy.
