vs 70 Chen Gong offers a sub-plan
Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, specially recommended Chen Gong to Bao Xin's army, intending to help Bao Xin's army and defeat this enemy from Qingzhou before the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and Yanzhou's "Buji" Yellow Turban Army converged.
Or, at the very least, to delay the movement of this Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
As soon as Chen Gong saw Bao Xin, he launched his strategy to break the enemy. After hearing this, Bao Xin felt that it was extremely feasible. So, there have been those confrontations with the Yellow Turban Army in the past few days.
The first step is to exhaust the enemy.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army came thousands of miles away, intending to rescue the "Buji" Yellow Turban Army. Bao Xin took advantage of his prestige in Yanzhou to incite several local tycoons around him to send troops to harass the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. In this way, it will inevitably greatly reduce the marching speed of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
The second step is to lure the enemy.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is constantly attacked and harassed, and will inevitably seek to fight back. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which intended to join the "Buji" Yellow Turban Army as soon as possible, was unlikely to adopt the method of besieging Wubao. Doing so would take too much time.
Therefore, the most likely course of action is to gather some sharp men in the army and attack the invading enemy head-on. As long as the enemy who commits in the future is beaten hard, there will naturally be few heroes and strong people who dare to brush the tiger's whiskers again.
In the face of the possible counterattack of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Chen Gong used the existing information to repeatedly speculate on the possible advance route of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and finalized three topographical areas that could effectively ambush the troops.
If everything goes well, the decoy troops sent by Bao Xin will successfully lure out the counterattack troops of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. Then, the Yanzhou Division could take the opportunity to launch an ambush to eat or disperse the Yellow Turban Army's counterattack troops, thus completing the second step of the operation.
For this step, Chen Gong bluntly said that he was only sixty percent sure. If the marching route of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was not expected, or the Yellow Turban Army scouted and broke through the ambush of the Yanzhou Army, then this strategy could only fail.
Therefore, when Bao Xin and Chen Gong found out that the reaction of the Yellow Turban Army was exactly the same as expected, the joy in their hearts was really irreparable. If it weren't for this, Bao Tao, who turned fraud into real defeat, would not have been let go by Bao Xin so lightly.
At the very least, he'll have to be scolded for his head and face.
And those Yellow Turban Army who fled from the forest, as long as they can't return to the Yellow Turban Army camp in advance before the third step of the strategy is launched, it doesn't matter the overall situation.
Bao Xin's march now is the third step of Chen Gong's strategy:
- Break the enemy!
Since the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has sent a counterattack force, it naturally will not have any extra precautions. When these Yellow Turban Army were completely relaxed, Bao Xin led the main force of the Han army with 1,200 elite soldiers, starting from the counterattack force, into the Yellow Turban Army, which would inevitably achieve the effect of surprise and unpreparedness!
In this situation of being attacked by surprise, unless this Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is well-trained, it is possible to integrate the troops in time and carry out effective resistance. However, based on the temptation and inspection of Bao Xin and Chen Gong these days, the organizational level of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, if not a rabble, is not far from here.
Forest paths, although not very convenient for marching. However, for the Yanzhou Division, which was composed entirely of well-trained soldiers, such a level of road could fully meet their requirements for surprise marches.
When the first Yanzhou County soldier appeared in front of the Yellow Turban Army, which was reorganizing the marching order, the last Yanzhou soldier was only more than 300 steps away from the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army, which was still in the chaos of the post-war period, did not care about the sudden appearance of the Han army. In their hearts, there is still the impression that the Yellow Turban Army pursued the enemy just now. The Han army that appeared was probably the scattered guerrilla who was killed and fled in a panic.
It wasn't until the Han army that appeared reached dozens of people that the forwards had already rushed into the crowd from the hillocks and slashed and slaughtered, and these unresponsive Yellow Turban soldiers woke up like a dream, screaming heartbreakingly, and fled in all directions.
Some of the conceited and brave soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army did not panic for a while, picked up their weapons, and wanted to kill the enemy. However, these poor soldiers did not know that the enemy they faced was selected from the 3,600 people of the Yanzhou Prefecture Division as the existence of "traps".
I saw Hou Cheng, who took the lead in the charge, hooked a frame with his left hand and twisted it, locked the weapons of the two Yellow Turban Army, and slashed three times with his right hand ring knife, slashing these two brave (reckless?) The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were covered in blood.
Immediately afterwards, Hou Cheng flew up with a kick and kicked the wounded soldier of the Yellow Turban Army who was still standing to the ground, and did not chase and kill, screamed, and rushed forward again.
- Captain Bao personally supervised the battle in the back, and had given a strict order in advance, before the order, he could only move forward, not backward, and the violator would be beheaded immediately!
- Hou Cheng dared not to take the military Hou Bao Tao seriously, but he definitely did not dare to disobey the order of the commander Bao Xin!
"Kill!"
Hou Cheng raised his knife and slashed two people in a row, encouraging the elites of his subordinates loudly. Those carefully selected trappers saw that they were the commander of the tun (promoted?) Hou Cheng, who fought so bravely, and his morale was high, slaughtering the Yellow Turban Army who intended to resist like chopping melons and vegetables.
Although there were many Yellow Turban soldiers, they were completely at a disadvantage, and they were rushed by these soldiers, and the resistance collapsed one after another. The Yellow Turban Army, which numbered in the hundreds, was defeated by the Han army, which was less than itself, and was defeated in multiple directions!
"Keep up! Come on! Keep an eye on the moth thief's team! The moth thief can't be allowed to breathe! ”
Although Bao Xin did not fight on the front line in person, it was not easy. Contrary to his usual gentle and elegant demeanor, he shouted at the throat, commanding his soldiers to quickly replenish to the front line, so as to chase after the collapsed Yellow Turban Army, and not let these defeated soldiers have a chance to reunite. And take advantage of the situation to use these defeated soldiers as a tool to crush the undefeated Yellow Turban Army in the rear.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
Hou Cheng slashed out with a knife, was held by the enemy, and the hook of his left hand was hard from the bottom up, hitting the opponent's chin hard. Taking advantage of the gap between the enemy's stunned, the knife in his right hand slashed through the opponent's neck artery with a slight swing.
Until now, Hou Cheng has been fighting on the front line, and there are at least a dozen lives in his hands. He stopped, took a breath, threw the ring-headed knife full of gaps in his hand, picked up an intact broadsword from the ground, and followed unhurriedly after the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, recovering his strength as he advanced.
On the battlefield, even a strong man with a "battle qi" must pay attention to maintaining his physical strength. If you are brave and rush forward, it is difficult for such a person to live long on the battlefield. Not to mention that two fists are hard to beat four hands, just when his own physical strength is insufficient, the enemy's sword is enough to kill him.
Therefore, Hou Chengping, if it is not necessary, will never be strong.
Fortunately, he didn't fight alone. While Hou Cheng was slowly walking to recover his strength, the other "trap soldiers" also maintained pressure on the Yellow Turban Army in groups of five.
Occasionally, brave Yellow Turban soldiers fought back. But with one enemy and five against five, facing elite soldiers, its fate is no different from those moths that put out fire.
Chen Gong looked at the Han army proudly, and cut the marching team of the Yellow Turban Army into two from the middle. He stood on the top of the hill, looked around from a distance, estimated the situation, came to Bao Xin, and shouted:
"Captain Baodu! Gong just looked into the distance and saw that the 'moth thief' handsome flag was in the west, and he could quickly attack it! Slow makes change! ”
After this plan, Bao Xin has admired Chen Gong's wisdom and strategy. Seeing Chen Gong's explanation, Bao Xin decisively ordered:
"Bao Junhou! You lead the headquarters to chase and kill the 'moth thief' to the east, not to kill, but to drive away! ”
Bao Tao didn't dare to slack off, promised loudly, turned around and helped his helmet, and shouted: "Follow me!" With more than 200 people from his headquarters, he went to pursue the router.
Bao Xin then ordered:
"The whole army obeyed the order, followed the general to pursue westward, and directly took the 'moth thief' thief, and built a great achievement!"
"No!"
Several heralds who followed Bao Xin left one after another to carry out the orders of the Shangguan. The Han army of nearly 1,000 people gathered behind the chaotic and crowded Yellow Turban Army, and unhurriedly slaughtered the last row of Yellow Turban Army, oppressing the Yellow Turban soldiers.
At the same time, Guan Hai, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, who was more than a mile away, did not know about the surprise attack of the Han army.
