Chapter 121: Artificial Ghost Hits the Wall
In the Chinese Republic, mountain warfare has become more than just guerrilla warfare. Writing %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info or any tactic will change a lot from the initial establishment, to after several years of exploration and exercises, and combined with the ideas of this era.
How to give full play to the advantages of guerrilla warfare and how to give full play to the advantages of the mountainous environment have been constantly discussed in the past few years. Just because every time you increase a little bit, the probability of your army dying increases a little.
In the republic, non-commissioned officers are not cannon fodder and can be consumed at will, a concept that almost every officer understands. There are too many unnecessary casualties, and even the promotion of officers will be affected.
"They're coming?" Lu Qian was waiting at the predetermined ambush site, and when he saw a soldier hurrying over, he couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Xiahou has begun to enter the Huayuan Mountain range!" The soldier replied.
The environment of Huayuan Mountain, they have explored it through the local Wulingman, and according to the unique terrain here, they have laid out a scary maze, just waiting for customers to come to the door.
"Give them a day trip!" Lu Qian licked his lips, this action is very popular in the army, but it seems that everyone has forgotten where it came out in the first place.
Some people say that this kind of action is very similar to the behavior of a large beast when it finds its prey, and it means 'eat you'. Many generals feel very emotional, so in a situation similar to this kind of eating the opponent, they will unconsciously show this expression.
As the culprit, Li Yu didn't know that an unintentional action he had made before would have such a far-reaching impact on the army. It can be seen that unless there is a newer and cooler action, this action does not know how many generations it will be passed on.
"General, there's a pile of stones at the intersection ahead! Seems to be some kind of signpost! "On the side of the Xiahou brothers, there are scouts from the co-enlisted army who hurriedly report back. By this time their army had entered the heart of the mountains, and had begun to move away from the road being built.
"When you came here before, did you have this pile of rocks here?" Xiahoudun looked at the scout and asked.
"We haven't been here before, so we don't know!" The scout shook his head, the recent large army has mainly acted as a road escort, and will not leave too far from the area around the concrete road, lest Wulingman take the opportunity to destroy the road. It's far from the concrete road, so they don't know, and they don't know if there's a pile of rocks here.
When we came to the junction, there was a fork in the road, and in the middle of the fork there was a pile of stones, which seemed to have been built up on purpose.
"Is this some kind of signpost?" Xiahoudun looked at Xiahouyuan.
"The terrain of Huayuan Mountain is complicated, maybe it is really some kind of road sign!" Xiahou Yuan thought about it and replied.
At this moment, more than 500 arrows suddenly shot out and shot towards their position. The arrows were fired with hunting bows, so they were not very powerful. But the covering shot of 500 arrows caused some casualties.
"Enemy attack! Against! Xiahoudun suddenly shouted, and the army immediately entered a state of battle. It's just that in this mountain road, the battle formation is really difficult to line up, but fortunately, on the side of the co-conglomerate army, it was the first to kill the enemy.
"Retreat!" The leading officer shouted, and the large force immediately advanced towards the fork in the road on the left.
"No need to chase!" The Concordant Army was about to pursue, but Xiahoudun stopped them, "The other party seems to have deliberately lured us to the left, so it means that the real road should be on the right!" Leave them alone, let's go! ”
When the others heard this, they suddenly realized, and they stopped pursuing, and followed Xiahoudun towards the right side of the road.
"Idiot!" Lu Qian, who was watching this scene with a telescope from a distance, muttered in a low voice.
If you change someone, you will really follow the attacker into the road on the left. Although it is not impossible to walk, the terrain over there will not be so complicated, which will increase the difficulty of his command by several levels.
Before going on the expedition, the Xiahou brothers' character and military habits were carefully studied by him. This Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are both a little clever, and even a little suspicious. Wulingman had more than 2 million people, and only sent 500 people to shoot them with arrows, and moved to the left as soon as possible, which was obviously an act of luring the enemy in their eyes, so they would inevitably advance to the right.
As soon as they enter the right, they will gradually enter the mountainous hinterland of Huayuan Mountain, and the terrain will be very complicated at that time, and if they want to come out again, it depends on their mood.
Of course, there are also those troops who also seem to be good at mountain warfare, and they must be cleaned up as soon as possible!
Huayuan Mountain does not have the kind of landmark mountain range that is more conspicuous, and if you simply walk on the mountain road, then the environment is almost the same no matter how you walk. Lush plants and trees obscure everything here, making people's concept of place and direction completely blurred.
In fact, as long as you have a compass and a map, then it is not a problem. But the troops of the republic are bullying the enemy, and they don't have a compass as a prop, they can only move forward according to habits, and they can't really understand what direction they are taking.
After walking for about five miles, the army reached a fork in the road, where there was also a pile of stones on the side of the road. The key is still a matter of direction, the pile of stones is on the left side of the road, and the whole environment looks as if they have come full circle and returned directly to the original point.
Even, they saw a large number of footprints and the remains of arrows in their 'original position', which undoubtedly further hinted at them that this was the way they had come.
"We went around in circles?" Xiahoudun looked at Xiahouyuan in disbelief.
"Shouldn't it?" Xiahou Yuan didn't quite believe the scene in front of him.
At this time, a large number of arrows were fired and fell into the position, causing some casualties among the soldiers. This is still secondary, the key is the horses, whether it is a logistical pull horse, or a horse ridden by the Xiahou brothers, they were all shot and killed as soon as possible.
"Chase!" Xiahou is so angry, do you really think they are easy to provoke?
The 30,000 Concordant Army rushed out as soon as possible, and the other party also fled directly into the side of the road on the 'left'. It's as if everything has been re-enacted. The difference is that this time, the co-conspirant army chased after them and was not stopped by Xiahoudun.
"I'd like to see what kind of magic you're going to play!" Xiahoudun said viciously.
But he didn't want to, but there were a lot of screams in front, and Xiahoudun immediately realized that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately led the army to chase after him. It turned out that the co-operative army was engaged in a battle with the other side, and the other side dispatched 3,000 men to shoot condescendingly relying on the terrain.
Why is it condescending, just because the road is here, there is no more, the other party shoots directly on the mountain wall, and even smashes down with stones or something, as if defending the city, making the co-conformist army very passive.
"Behind here, could it be their core area?" Xiahoudun couldn't help but wonder. Just looking at the five-meter-high mountain wall, it was not easy for them to cross it.
"Brother, if you continue like this, it may be dangerous for the co-conjungs!" Xiahou Yuan reminded.
The Conformist Army is just a mountain folk who have been recruited, and their own equipment is not much advanced. He is not good at attacking cities, and the longest is to walk in this mountain. As a result, the other side directly turned the mountain war into a siege war, and the co-subordinate army not only did not adapt, but also directly fell into passivity.
"Retreat, think of a way to get up! Well? The other side retreated? Xiahoudun just wanted to withdraw to a safe position first, but he didn't want the other party to shrink back and run away, the entire mountain wall was empty, as if no one was there anymore.
"Send some people up there and have a look!" Xiahou Yuan immediately said to one of the leaders of the Xiecong Army.
"Whoa!" When the leader heard this, he gritted his teeth and immediately arranged it.
More than 500 co-operatives immediately managed to climb the mountain wall, then explored along the hillside, and finally came across a mountain road. So in a hurry, Xiahoudun suddenly had a plan, thinking that it was indeed the place leading to the core hinterland, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to climb the mountain!
They didn't have siege weapons in the first place, so they had to spend more than an hour making some simple ladders. I finally climbed up and followed the hillside to the mountain road, but not a single enemy was found along the way.
"Wu Lingman's previous resistance was obviously so strong, why did he give up resistance so easily this time?" Xiahou Yuan is a wonderful talent, so naturally he will Yunwen Yunwu, and he feels that something is not right with Wulingman's move this time.
"Their large army has begun to move eastward, and it is unknown where exactly they are going, so it will definitely not be the main force that will stay to stop us. It can only be said that they rely on the mountains for their wandering, and that's why we are in trouble! Xiahoudun said very unhappily. Since he set out on the expedition, he has hardly been able to fight the opponent head-on, and he is very unhappy.
Of course, the other side did not inflict much damage on them, strictly speaking, it was 3,000 casualties, most of them were wounded, and there were almost no direct deaths. He didn't know that the wounded soldiers were the worst, and a wounded soldier needed to drag at least two soldiers to take care of them, which undoubtedly further dragged down the army.
"General, General!" After a while, the scout in front came back in a panic.
"What's so flustered?" Seeing this, Xiahoudun immediately shouted.
"There's a pile of rocks up ahead!" The soldier replied with tears in his eyes.
The two brothers, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, suddenly felt cold in their hearts when they heard this, and rushed towards the front, and sure enough, there was a pile of stones on the side of the road, this time it gave people the feeling that they entered from the left side and then came back from the right side. On the same road they had come, there were also the remains of arrows, and there were a large number of footprints, which further gave them such a hint.
"Damn, have we been going around in circles?" Xiahoudun was a little flustered, the theory of ghosts and gods is still very marketable these days, no matter how you look at this situation, it is the legendary ghost hitting the wall!
"No, the other party may be taking advantage of the complexity of the terrain to lay some kind of maze! Maybe we're not going around in circles, but we're walking along this strange maze...... Let's hope so! Xiahou Yuan thought about it and replied.
"So how do we get there?" Xiahoudun looked at each other.
"Go back! Disperse the co-operative army, don't be fooled by the other party's actions, and don't give the other party a chance to take advantage of it! Be careful, their people may be in ambush around here, we must be careful! Xiahou Yuan said as he looked around on guard.
At the same time, Lu Qian, who was watching the other party's arrangement, was a little dissatisfied: "Cut, you found out so quickly?" Only, will you really be able to go back? (To be continued.) )
