Chapter 92: The Night of the Tumult

Retreat, of course, only retreat! Even if Gongsun Yue plans to work hard, he doesn't have the capital to work hard!

Just now, a cavalryman actually directly showed off the technique of killing three arrows with one arrow, although sacrificing range and power, but increasing the coverage area of the arrows. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe key is that all the cavalry immediately put three arrows on the bowstring, and the meaning is very clear, that is, this army will use this technique!

It was hard for Gongsun Yue to imagine that if 3,000 arrows were shot directly at him, it would be like this. He had seen a salvo of 500 people before, even if it was 500 people, and the 500 arrows shot out were still a piece of black pressure!

Thirty percent of the soldiers have been killed, but the other party seems to be a scout, and it is a matter of course to kill the scout, and there is no combat achievement in itself. But if he sacrifices too much, then even if he is the younger brother of Gongsun Zhan, he will have to bear the responsibility. Seeing that this deal was not cost-effective, it was natural that it would not stay here and die, so with an order, the army quickly turned its horse and ran away!

"Bad things that didn't grow, I'm sorry!" Xu Huang looked at Gongsun Yue who was leaving, but he didn't chase after him. A frightened general is better to use than a dead general, and in later battles, it may be able to provide more benefits.

"Take the captives away and see what they all know!" Seeing Gongsun walking farther and farther, Xu Huang signaled his subordinates to collect the prisoners. In the end, it came from the barracks, and it doesn't matter if you can't read, you can always ask for some useful information.

It is obviously faster to ask the prisoners directly than to risk going to the opponent's headquarters to reconnoitre.

They all went back to their headquarters, but the harvest was completely different. After the torture experts arranged by Yang Lang for torture, especially when a military marquis was found among these prisoners, the information that the enemy army headquarters could ask was basically asked.

In the first contact battle, with 1,000 scouts, the opponent's 5,000 vanguard army was cleaned up, and the morale of the opponent was immediately greatly boosted, and the key was to find out the real situation of the enemy army without suffering losses, and the harvest was indeed rich.

On the contrary, as Gongsun Yue returned to the camp and reported what happened to Gongsun Chan and others, Gongsun Chan did not blame him too much when he heard this, but the military law was intolerable, and he still had to get ten whips in the end.

"What do you think?" sent someone to take Gongsun Yue down to recuperate from his injuries, and Gongsun Chan looked at several other generals of the alliance.

Kong Rong is a good man, so naturally he won't say anything. He sent troops, mainly to maintain the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and the key was to seek benefits for Qingzhou. Today, according to Li Yu's original setting, the Republic of Dahan adopts the autonomous prefecture system, and the prefectures are in a semi-autonomous state without violating the constitution.

In terms of policy, the state pastor can formulate and implement it on his own without violating the constitution and national law. But at the cost of the army, it must be managed by the government, and the states can only retain the existence of the armed police force.

To put it mildly, Youzhou has joined the Han Republic for a short time, and Gongsun Chan still retains his own troops for the time being. The Xuzhou Ministry had already begun to be infiltrated, and Cao Bao was nominally under Tao Qian's jurisdiction, but in fact the Xuzhou Army was already part of the government army, and the central government directly supplied the military with food and grass.

Qingzhou is almost like this, the army under Kong Rong is basically a righteous army formed spontaneously by the family. Fortunately, the government provided grain and grass, otherwise I was afraid that they would have to retreat without food in about two months.

As for Han Sui's troops, they said that they were raising troops, but Liangzhou was so far away from the front line, and they didn't know how much food they would waste when they marched suddenly, so they stayed in Liangzhou, mainly to prevent Liu Xie from suddenly launching an attack north.

This alliance is essentially the same as in history, saying that it is a concerted effort, and all ministries want to get more benefits, but not in unison.

Kong Rong didn't speak, but Yuan Shao did: "According to intelligence, Li Yu has a unit under his command that is good at lurking assassination, but is also proficient in mountain warfare and mounted archery, called a special operations force.

Originally, the number of this army was about 500 people, but considering that this was the intelligence of two years ago, it is not surprising that it has been promoted to 1,000 people now. ā€

"The enemy army doesn't have any banners, so I don't know if it's or not!" Gongsun Chan shook his head, and from the news reported, it was obvious that what they encountered was a scout force, where was the elite army.

"If not, then it's worse! The scouts on the other side are obviously elite troops, and each of them is a monster capable of firing a three-stone bow. The point is that we don't know how many such scouts there are, so it's not easy for cavalry to be sent out for the time being, and even scouts should be equipped with heavy armor to guard against those arrows! When Yuan Shao heard this, he also guessed a rough idea, so he made suggestions on the actual situation.

"It's not a passive beating!" Gongsun Chan was immediately unhappy when he heard this.

"Could it be that General Gongsun, is there a way to carry out an effective counterattack in this situation?" Yuan Shao asked rhetorically, the latter immediately withered when he heard this, why complain here, he had already led his army to kill all the scouts of the other party.

The technology of the pulley block did not reach the Han Republic here, Yang Lang only passed on some inconsequential civilian technology, and Rao did fool Yang Valve. But civilian and military are completely different concepts, so much so that in terms of armaments, it is not so simple for the Republic of Dahan to catch up with and surpass the Republic of China!

The three-stone bow can only be pulled by a military general who is born with divine power. It's one thing to pull away, but it's another to use it to attack. When it comes to pulling, many people can barely pull the three-stone bow with their feet, but it is actually useless. If you can't shoot effectively and keep shooting, even if you can pull away, it won't help your combat power.

"General Yuan, with the big yellow crossbow of the Great Han, can you shoot such a long distance?" Lu Bu suddenly asked, after all, among all the troops, only Yuan Shao's troops were equipped with the Big Yellow Crossbow, and they were equipped with thousands of pairs.

"The rhubarb crossbow is the most powerful long-range weapon of the Great Han, and it is naturally not a problem to reach the range of the three-stone bow, but it is difficult to wind, it requires the upper limit of the legs, and the shooting speed is not fast." Yuan Shao nodded, and at the same time told the shortcomings of the rhubarb crossbow.

"How about three strands, one winding, one preparing, and one shooting?" Lu Bu proposed.

"That's a good idea, but will it cause the shooting to be too scattered?" Yuan Shao felt that this was a way to alleviate the slow shooting speed, but the problem was that it would also reduce the shooting coverage.

"It's better than being blind!" Lu Bu said helplessly.

This is indeed a very serious issue, and even Yuan Shao has to be cautious. Today, the scouts are constantly being sniped by enemy scouts, so much so that they can hardly see anything outside the line of sight.

At this time, the enemy only needs to target their position, with light cavalry or even heavy cavalry to launch a charge, when the line of sight sees the opponent's cavalry, the opponent is about to rush in front of him, and he has not even had time to give an order to meet the battle, saying that the other party can rush into the army, and it will not collapse directly at that time?

It's just a big yellow crossbow used to deal with the Hu cavalry, but now it is going to be reduced to scout equipment, and Yuan Shao also has mixed feelings in his heart.

After the rearrangement, and even after the first shot, it was better to ensure reconnaissance within 300 meters of the front. After the enemy was intimidated by the power of the rhubarb crossbow, they did not launch any further attacks for the time being.

Seeing that it was getting dark, I had no choice but to rest on the spot temporarily. In the end, it has not reached the front line, and there is no need to set up camp now. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to have to pull out the camp tomorrow?

The generals led by Yuan Shao gathered for a meeting, and the summary of the war was not the preserve of the Huaxia Republic, but the purpose of this meeting was closer to unifying ideas.

"It turns out that the troops under Li Yu have powerful military equipment." Yuan Shao personally presided over the meeting, "The height and strength of the southerners are inferior to the northerners, to say that it is good to form elite archers of more than 100 people, thousands of soldiers who are good at riding and archery, and wrestlers who can pull three-stone bows, not to mention whether these scouts are only 1,000 It is not yet known."

It's almost impossible to do that, the only possibility is that their bows and arrows are weird, but unfortunately we can't get a sample. If this kind of bow and arrow is popular, first of all, we will be passive in long-range attack, not to mention that the opponent seems to have a weapon that can shoot at the target from ten miles away, like thunder!

It is no wonder that Li Yu rebelled against the thieves and was able to establish the puppet regime of the Huaxia Republic in an upright manner, and the pressure on us to crusade this time is very great, and I also ask you to remain vigilant, and you must not underestimate the enemy! ā€

"Whoa!" Several generals attending the meeting naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately shouted with their hands.

Yuan Shao is also very satisfied with this, in front of Kong Rong and Lu Bu, for example, he is also a latecomer. But in this battle, he was the supreme commander, and a sense of pride arose.

After a pause, he continued: "Although the enemy is strong, they don't have much foundation in Jiangzuo. Outside the original scope of the Special Administrative Region, the people's recognition of the puppet regime is not high, and it can be our help!

The key point is that the expansion of the opponent's territory also means that the scope of defense needs to be expanded. They only have more than 200,000 troops at full strength, but they have to guard a huge area, and the troops that can be pulled to the front line are only less than 50,000. As the seat of Lujiang in Shu County, it is very good to have 30,000 troops stationed. Even if you add the remnants of Dong Thief, it is only 60,000.

But don't forget, Xiang'an County and Linhu County are also within our scope of attack. Personally, I mean pretending to attack these two counties, inducing the other side's army to come to the rescue, and then ambushing the opponent's main force...... What's going on out there? Why is it so noisy! ā€

He just wanted to explain the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, but who knew that it was noisy outside, and he immediately shouted unhappily.

"Dashuai!" Yan Liang quickly dared to come, "The enemy is attacking, our army is attacking!" ā€

"When did it happen? Damn, everyone, hurry up and get back to your places! Organize a counterattack! Yuan Shao immediately ordered.

There was no need for him to remind him, experienced generals such as Lu Bu got up and left as soon as possible. Not long after they left the camp, they could clearly feel the noise in front of them, and even the sound of staggered blades.

It can be seen that tonight is destined to be unpeaceful. (To be continued.) )
