Chapter 1121: Death Passage

Huo Jun's original mission was to lead the elite of the Shu army to attack the Tang army along the way, delaying the speed of the Tang army's southward movement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info This matter, he originally did a good job, but who knew that suddenly the special forces of the Tang Army were powerful and slaughtered those elites of the Shu army.

At this time, Huo Jun should have retreated quickly, but Huo Jun made his own decisions, and then was besieged in Mumi City, which was not expected by anyone.

Therefore, in Liu Bei's counterattack plan, it is a question whether this army was taken into account. The reason why Huo Jun was so proactive and tempting was only because he was a general who was good at thinking, and he would not be satisfied with simply carrying out the orders of the lord, but would have his own thinking.

If Huo Jun desperately sent the information out, then Yuan Liu Bei would know that this army was still there. will work hard to contact Huo Jun and form a joint force, which is what Xu Maogong is worried about.

Xu Maogong analyzed to everyone: "The foot soldiers of our army are the main force, and there has been no division of troops, if Huo Jun chooses the opposite direction to the main force of our army." The light cavalry could not be stopped, and the main force would not have time to chase, and they would rush out. ā€

If Huo Jun divided a death squad of several hundred people and advanced lightly, as long as he chose the right direction, he would indeed have a high chance of breaking out of the encirclement. This time, the army going south was dominated by two infantry corps, and its mobility was not its strong point, and the cavalry was scattered again, so it might not have time to encircle.

In the end, Xu Maogong concluded: "So, the most afraid thing is to meet an opponent like Yide, just pick a time, pick a random direction and rush out, maybe, really rush out." ā€

"Haha, it's still the military advisor who knows me." Zhang Fei smiled disapprovingly. This is his style, in the face of overly complex situations, he will try to break the tricks, and it is not a big deal to be ridiculed.

"Then which direction will Huo Jun choose?" Xu Huang pondered, "When he tried it before, the west road went the farthest, but he might think that the west road was a flaw left on purpose; If you go to the east, even if you pass, you will be blocked by our troops, but you can also do the opposite; The south road is the most dangerous, but as long as you rush to the river, you have a chance to break through, which ......"

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and teased: "Brother Gongming, it's okay or not, you've been told it, you have a quasi-idea." ā€

Xu Huang smiled bitterly, Huo Jun is not a stupid person, and he doesn't know much about him, how can he accurately estimate the other party's thoughts?

He turned to Xu Maogong, intending to ask questions, but Xu Maogong only shook his head, if Huo Jun can be counted dead like this, then he is not a human, but a god.

Therefore, Xu Maogong turned to Li Yi and asked, "What does the emperor think?" ā€

Li Yi nodded, mumbled, and then said in a surprising voice: "I think that you can go with him." ā€

"Let him go?" Everyone was taken aback.

"That's right! If you try to guess his thoughts, the initiative is in Huo Jun's hands. As long as he doesn't make a big move, he can do whatever he wants, unless he is ramming into our army's camp, otherwise, he will only use light cavalry to intercept and kill. Even if he dispatches hundreds of people in one go, under the double interception of the cavalry and special forces of the Royal Forest Army, no more than half of them can escape, so why not do such a battle? ā€

Xu Huang hesitated: "However, if he is connected with Dianchi City, wouldn't it be ......?"

"Then get in touch, even if you do, at most make an appointment, as the saying goes: the war is not scheduled. It is difficult to guess which direction Huo Jun chooses to break through, but it is not difficult to guess Liu Bei's date, so why is it difficult to make his date invalid? ā€

casually made up an allusion, Li Yihun smiled indifferently: "Besides, if you don't give him some hope, how can he go out of the city and let me capture him?" ā€

………………

Autumn is crisp and cloudless, and a team of unobtrusive foot soldiers are trudging through the "heavy rain".

"Don't panic, stay in formation...... Shieldman, lift the shield up, raise it high...... Crossbowmen, shoot back, shoot back! ā€

Fan Zhang, who had been promoted to the rank of military commander in the line of fire, shouted hoarsely, desperately trying to boost the morale of the brothers, so that they could ignore the continuous rain of arrows and keep moving forward.

The effect looked good, but Fan Zhang knew very well that the reason why the brothers did not disperse was not due to his encouragement, but because everyone was afraid of the Tang army rangers who were circling around, and they did not dare to leave alone.

Dealing with the large group of people, the other party is not in a hurry to approach, and is always at a distance of about eighty paces, constantly harassing with arrows. But if anyone is left alone, then he is dead. The Tang army rangers will be divided into two horses, one left and one right outflanked, the lone foot soldier can defend the left, but not the right, and finally is either stabbed to death by the horse lance, or shot to death by the bow and arrow, the only way to survive is to be captured alive!

If you launch a counterattack, the opponent will turn around and release the arrows, while running away, and when the attacking team comes back, they will follow closely, like kraft candy, unable to shake off or tear off.

Strictly speaking, in the face of this 500-strong brigade lined up, the damage caused by the Tang Army rangers was not large. The shield array is very good protection, and the paper armor on the opponent's body cannot withstand the crossbow shot at close range, so the rangers dare not get too close.

Fifty paces away, even a strong soldier like the Tang Army's Imperial Forest Army could not exert his ability to shoot accurately at a gallop.

But the problem is that Fan Zhang's troops are not here to fight positional warfare, but to march quickly. This gave the Tang Army rangers a chance to play.

With the speed of the wind, more than a dozen Tang Army rangers circled around the team. Harass with arrows and a sharp arrow or whistle to summon more companion reinforcements.

No matter how tight the battle formation is, it is impossible to defend in all aspects, unless a round formation is set up, but if a circle is really placed, can it still be marched?

But if you don't march as soon as possible, sooner or later you will be surrounded by more and more enemies and torn to pieces!

Like Huo Jun, who was trapped in the lonely city, this was also a dilemma, and Fan Zhang didn't have a choice. I can only resist the harassment of the other party and try to speed up as much as possible.

In fact, the current situation is much better than General Huo expected. Maybe the main force of the Tang army was not hidden outside, or they were not in this direction, so it was always only the Tang army rangers who rushed to intercept and kill, and there were no infantry soldiers of the brigade.

Thinking of this, Fan Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly, as long as the Tang Army was not stupidly dividing his troops around, it would be difficult to intercept himself.

In order to choose the direction of the breakthrough, General Huo Jun can be said to have put a lot of effort into it. He summoned the generals to discuss with the army for several days, but he could not make up his mind, but was persuaded by everyone and dispelled the idea of leading the team in person.

Fan Zhang knew why this decision was so difficult, because his family was completely at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence. No matter how you calculate, you may fall into a trap or be misled by the enemy.

In desperation, General Huo Jun finally used a trick and chose a direction by drawing lots.

This is the best plan with no way, Ren Li Yizhi is higher than the sky, and it is impossible to guess this kind of God's decision.

Now it seems that God still favors everyone, and there is a great hope of breaking through.

Fan Zhang tightened the shield in his hand and shouted wildly: "Brothers, work harder, there are still thirty miles to reach Nanshan Lagu." When you arrive at Nanshan Valley, you will have a wide sky! The fathers and elders of Yizhou are waiting for our news, and they can't let the bandits of the Tang Army continue to be proud! ā€

"That's right! Can't let them get complacent! The soldiers responded with a bang, and their morale was greatly boosted.

They didn't know much about Li Yi's salary draw plan, so they were easily misled by Zhao Ti, who joined the army, so they became hostile.

With such a cognition, this breakthrough, as well as the subsequent battle against the Tang Army, was also endowed with a sacred aura, and the Yizhou soldiers were convinced that they were the one who represented justice.

Of course, Fan Zhang's sentence that there are still thirty miles left to reach Nanshan Lagu is also an important factor in arousing the morale of the brothers.

Nanshan Lagu is the birthplace of Tushui, a tropical primeval forest with extremely complex terrain and miasma.

Miasma is a poisonous gas produced by the decay of animals and plants in tropical primeval forests, mainly because there is no effective treatment of the dead carcasses of animals, and the high temperature in the tropics creates favorable conditions for the production of miasma.

If someone who is unfamiliar with the situation breaks into the miasma, there is a high risk of death.

Moreover, the deadly things in this primeval forest are not only miasma, but also the plants and water in it, because they have been in the miasma environment for a long time, are highly poisonous. If ingested, it can also die. Only the grass on the mountain can detoxify. However, this secret is only known to locals.

The distance of thirty miles is already very close, and if you let go of running, you can walk it in an hour. Even if you maintain the current speed, it will be about the same in two hours, and when you reach Nanshan La Valley, you will be able to escape, and I don't believe that the Tang Army dares to chase you into Nanshan La Valley!

"Ahh Just as the morale was soaring, a scream suddenly rang out at the edge of the ranks, and one of the shieldmen rolled over, howling miserably as he rolled on the ground with his thighs in his hands, looking at his companions with a gaze full of pity and sorrow.

"Don't stop! Keep going! Fan Zhangqiang couldn't bear to look back.

Sacrifice is inevitable, and with the wounded, the speed of the march will drop dramatically, which in turn will affect the whole army.

Before leaving the city, General Huo Jun and Zhao Lei joined the army and told them that they could not spoil the big thing because they couldn't bear it for a while.

If the wounded are ordinary soldiers, then leave them behind and leave them to fend for themselves; If it is an officer who knows the inside story, including Fan Zhang himself, he must eliminate the hidden danger!

Ci is not in charge of the soldiers! That's the reason.

The atmosphere that had just warmed up became heavy again, and the smoke and dust around the team became higher and higher, which meant that there were more and more Tang Army rangers gathered over, and only the miserable cries of their comrades became lower and lower, and gradually fell silent.

In just thirty miles, how many people's lives will be used to pave it?

Fan Zhang didn't have any bottom in his heart.
