Chapter 302: Mobility

In the scorching summer, the noisy battlefield, the Menggo army and Zhao Yun's army quickly approached, and the two armies were like two dragons, meandering on the land, this will be the last battle of Jizhou, if this battle is won, then Jizhou will no longer be able to stop it.

Whether it is Zhao Yun or Meng Ge, the whole army understands that this battle can only be won and not lost, although they know the truth, but it is not so simple to solve the enemy, and they don't even know where the enemy is, so they naturally can't attack, but one thing Meng Ge knows very well.

As long as history is completely reversed, the enemy will soon be unable to sit still, and they will come to the door one by one, and at that time, even if they do not go to them, the result will be the same.

Knowing that the war is now important, Menggo's mind is all on the battle, Xiahoulan followed, constantly urging the army to march, busy and happy, the battle of Muye is about to begin, Xiahoulan can hold his breath, as long as this victory is over, he can go home, he has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

I don't know when Zhang Liao ran over and said solemnly: "General, the enemy camp is forty miles ahead, if the enemy wants to fight, this may be the battlefield!" ”

"It's only forty miles!" Mungo's heart was sudden, he hurriedly jumped off his horse to wipe his sweat, and looked around, the terrain here is not very particular, it is all plains, especially suitable for cavalry combat, if a decisive battle is launched here, the cavalry will be the decisive force.

But do they dare? Meng Ge couldn't help but ask in his heart, does the enemy really dare to pull out and fight, this is unknown, if the enemy dares to fight, then it should be stopped now, if the enemy does not dare to fight, then the Yuan army should flee for their lives, otherwise when they arrive in front of the camp, it will be too late for them to escape.

After checking the terrain of the four places, Meng Ge turned his head and said with a frown: "Wen Yuan, tell me, Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan, do these two have the courage to fight?" ”

"This, the end general is unknown, but from the perspective of military strength, our army is far stronger than the enemy, after all, our army has been in battle for a long time, and we are absolutely sure of facing the enemy and us, but if the enemy has a surprise soldier, or the battle situation is different, I think the enemy will gamble!" Zhang Liao put forward his own views.

For Zhang Liao's opinion, Meng Ge also deeply agreed, the enemy wants to win, only by surprise, otherwise they want to win, I am afraid it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, but to win by surprise, they are afraid that they have nowhere to start, Puyang has Xu Huang's containment, and Jiguan is even more difficult to pass, and if they want to sneak attack their rear, they think too much.

Attacking the enemy must be saved, and you must have the ability to hit the place where you must be saved, where can the Yuan army attack now, Meng Ge really can't see it, if the enemy concentrates superior forces to attack Yanzhou, it doesn't matter, their naval army is not much better, there are not enough naval troops, I am afraid that before they reach the other side, they will sink into the river to feed the fish.

Water warfare is no better than land warfare, without the escort of the naval army, it is unlikely that the enemy wants to cross the river, not to mention that most of the enemy's forces have been dragged here, if they can still free up their forces, Mongo also admitted, of course, he will not be polite, first swallow most of the enemy army, and then turn back to clean them up, it doesn't matter.

While thinking, Meng Ge picked up the kettle and took a sip of water, before slowly saying: "It's good to bet, but what you said is not enough, they have no room for surprise troops, if the enemy attacks Yanzhou, it's a big deal to give it to them, and then fight again, I eat this Jizhou, they will have no base, one thing is certain, if the enemy does not repel or defeat the main force of our army, they will have no chance!" ”

"The main force of our army!" Zhang Liao suddenly frowned, he vaguely felt that he had ignored a very important point.

Meng Ge looked at Zhang Liao with a smile, and said with a deep face: "If they want to fight, they can only fight against the main force of our army, otherwise he is meaningless, because once this part of the main force is eaten, the Yuan clan is finished, Cao Ying will also be finished, Gongsun Chan will also be finished, no one can escape the pursuit of my cavalry, Wen Yuan said let's see, how will they choose?"

"Last stand!" Zhang Liao blurted out, but this idea seems unrealistic, but if the enemy really has this kind of courage, it is really possible.

Meng Ge smiled and didn't speak, Yuan's ability to regroup so quickly shows that he still has some ability, and the courage to fight against the odds should not be lacking, even if Yuan Xi is lacking, others may not have it, and this battle may really be possible.

When people are faced with a desperate situation, they often inspire strong courage, and the Yuan family can also do it, but unfortunately, Meng Ge is not Zhang Han, and the Yuan brothers are not Xiang Yu.

Meng Ge thought carefully for a moment, and then ordered: "Xiahoulan, go and give the order, rest for a while, and let the brothers drink some water and eat some meat!" ”

"Yes!" Xia Houlan hurriedly ran down, although he didn't know what it meant, but this was not what Xia Houlan should ask, he just had to give the order.

However, Zhang Liao understands that it is tight, the purpose of standing still is very simple, in order to wait for work, the scouts have been scattered around, if the enemy is close to the combat range, then it is easy to react, when the enemy army is coming from afar, our army is waiting for work, and the battle situation is naturally clear at a glance.

Of course, there is also a purpose, not to let the enemy take advantage of the opportunity, sometimes a rapid march can easily lead to the loosening of the military formation, and the sergeant will be extremely tired, and proper rest will help to recover physical strength, which is prepared for battle.

However, the Yuan brothers didn't let Meng Ge wait too long, and soon the scout in front rushed back, "General Qiyu, the Yuan army appeared due north, and it is coming this way!" ”

"It's coming, it's fast!" Meng Ge casually tore off a piece of jerky and said with a smile: "Get up, report the specific location, the situation of the enemy troops!" ”

"Yes!" The scout immediately stood up and said loudly: "The Yuan army is located fifteen miles in the direction of due north, with the infantry army in the lead, a small number of cavalry in the formation, and the crossbowmen in the center, and nothing else can be seen for the time being!" ”

"A handful of cavalry!" Mungo immediately grasped the key, the enemy only had a small number of cavalry in the formation, and if the scout's reward was correct, then things would be interesting.

"It seems that they are deliberately hiding their cavalry, but I would like to know what is the point of doing this, and do they want to attack while our army is in decisive battle?" It's too whimsical, isn't it? ”

Just as Meng Ge thought, Zhang Liao also thought so, a cavalry that did not appear can do a lot of things, and sometimes a key cavalry joins, and the situation of the battle will change immediately.

Zhang Liao immediately arched his hand and said: "General, it seems that we need to be cautious and not let the enemy take advantage of it!" ”

Meng Ge nodded, and said casually: "Well, I know, the Wuhuan cavalry is still two, I tried the last battle, since the movement of the enemy cavalry is unknown, then they plan to play ambush, then the feelings are good, let's play with him too!" ”

Mungo then ordered: "Order all the troops to enter the battle position, and all the units of the First Army and the Second Army are in battle formation, waiting for them to attack!" ”

The first army and the second army have just converged, if they are mixed together, they will naturally be a little rusty, and it will inevitably affect the combat strength, it is better to divide into two parts and start the battle situation separately, of course, Meng Ge is very confident, it is impossible for the enemy to eat any of them.

With the issuance of military orders, the battlefield was noisy again, the messengers rushed everywhere, constantly conveying military orders everywhere, Meng Ge was in the middle of the first army, Zhao Yun was in the middle of the second army, and the rest of the troops were in battle formations, and the two armies used phalanxes at the same time.

The first army and the second army were worthy of being elite, and in a short period of time, the two phalanxes were completely lined up, and the two huge square arrays were waiting for the Yuan army to attack.

"Report, the enemy army is five miles away, and they are starting to line up!" Tanma came again to report, but he didn't need to say more, Meng Ge had already seen the enemy, and the Yuan army was rapidly arraying in the distance.

Meng Ge on the high ground pointed to the north and said with a smile: "Xiahoulan, you see that the enemy is arrayed at such a close range, should we make a move!" ”

Xiahou Lan was suddenly surprised, and immediately frowned: "Does the general want to do it?" ”

"Of course, in front of me, they're tired of it!" Mongo looked extraordinarily excited, and in his opinion, the enemy was stupid enough to do it.

Without waiting for Xia Houlan to reply, Meng Ge immediately said coldly: "Summons Ma Chao, give him a beating!" ”

"Yes!" The messenger immediately took the order and went straight to the phalanx where Ma Chao was, and it didn't take long for the order to reach Ma Chao's hands, and this time Ma Chao was stunned.

This time Meng Ge's military order was too weird, to fight to the death, but he didn't say how to fight, which meant that he decided how to fight himself, realizing the subtlety of the military order, Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and then he glanced at Yuan Jun in front of him, and Ma Chao suddenly had an idea.

Almost without hesitation, Ma Chao immediately raised his spear and shouted: "Sons, kill with me!" ”

In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder, and the cavalry who had just lined up the phalanx came out in response, "Kill!! ”

The earth-shattering shout of killing, Yuan Jun in the distance was stunned, how could this be killed, and as soon as he attacked, it was cavalry, looking at the dense cavalry, Ju Yi couldn't help but have a big head.

Not daring to be careless, Ju Yi immediately roared angrily: "Sword and shield hands, spearmen are on top, and crossbowmen are on standby immediately!" ”

In the face of the enemy's strong attack, the only way to block the enemy is to block the enemy, otherwise once it is defeated, what will be the consequences, Ju Yi does not need to think about it to understand, such a critical moment can not be sloppy at all.

"Quick, this way, get your seat! Don't grind! Ju Yi's headquarters quickly lined up, bursts of smoke and dust continued to stir up, and the figures in the formation kept shaking, but they were all in place.

If you want to block the cavalry charge, you can't force it, you have to live a little, there are crossbowmen to shoot in the rear, and the cavalry charge is easy to be blocked, if the enemy rushes to the second formation, then there are spearmen and stabs, three or five people stab, always desperately blocked, and finally there are shield men, their job is to cut the horse's legs, and defend against bow and arrow shooting.

In the blink of an eye, Ju Yi's subordinates had three defenses, which looked invulnerable, just waiting for the enemy to come and charge the battle, and this time Ju Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, rush over here, see if I let you wait for you to come back!" Ju Yi stared at the cavalry in front of him with a fierce look on his face, but he hoped that the enemy would rush up, so that he could exert the power of this array.

But Ma Chao deliberately slowed down the speed, the enemy formation was fast, this was naturally seen by him, seeing such a scene, Ma Chao was not in a hurry, the so-called anxious can't eat hot tofu, Ma Chao knows very well, the battle can't blindly rush and fight, then die faster.

"Roundabout!" Ma Chao's spear pointed, and the vanguard turned to it, since the frontal collision is not good, then start from the side, if the hard one is not good, then the soft one, there is always a weak point to attack.

Under Ju Yi's gaze, Ma Chao's horse speed suddenly decreased greatly, and he began to turn slowly, and then ran to the left flank, the horse speed was like a walk, Ju Yi felt bad, the enemy did not rush into battle, and at the same time did not launch a rush, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Without hesitation at all, Ju Yi immediately shouted: "Push up, the crossbowmen scatter!" ”

"Do you have the flanks too?" Ma Chao was surprised, the enemy's huge phalanx is really a bit of a doorway, even the flanks are the same, it is a little difficult to cast a rush, if you use a run at this time, it is actually just a waste of arrows, Ma Chao is not so stupid.

Looking at the enemy army like a hedgehog, Ma Chao did not stop, and immediately ran towards the rear of the enemy army, while shouting: "Go, hit the army behind them!" ”

Ju Yi, who was about to press forward, was surprised that the enemy did not attack from the flank, but directly bypassed the phalanx and killed directly towards the rear, which surprised Ju Yi.

"What kind of tactics is this, aren't they afraid of being besieged!" Just when Ju Yihu was suspicious, he suddenly understood, because the enemy army in front of him moved.

"You're the one who got caught!" Meng Ge had a wicked smile on his face, but the army was not slow at all, and began to move forward steadily, and what he had in mind was naturally obvious.

The enemy's battle formation has just been listed, and the position is not firm, this is the best opportunity to strike, how can Mongo let it go, and start fighting without waiting for the enemy to line up, this is the common tactics of Mongo, because this is really easy to use, and it would be too stupid to wait for the enemy to take a stance before making a move.

"It's not good, they're going to stop our army from arraying!" Ju Yi was shocked, he finally knew why Mongo had sent cavalry, but the more serious was still to come.

"Kill!" The cavalry of the Ma Chao Brigade rushed like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they killed the rear of Juyi, but the enemy army had not yet put on a posture, and the sudden cavalry instantly beat Yuan Xi.

The enemy cavalry attacked frantically, and Yuan Xi immediately shouted: "Array, give me to resist them!" ”

"Shoot!" The rush unfolded again, Ma Chao did not hesitate to launch the rush, this kind of panic, the most suitable to use the rush attack, because the enemy is in a chaotic position, when the arrow comes, the enemy is likely to step on his own people.

"Don't get in my way!" "You're stepping on me!" "Don't you see the arrows coming!"

In an instant, the scene was chaotic, and before the soldiers could turn on their backs, not many were shot, but many were injured by mistake because of the chaos, which was really funny.

"Let's go!" Ma Chao didn't stop at all, he ran away without hesitation, just catch it cheaply, other Ma Chao didn't force it, not to mention that the enemy formation behind him had arrived.

"Stop them!" Ju Yi roared angrily, but it was to no avail, in front of the mobility of the cavalry, they seemed a little redundant, and wanted to rely on the infantry to surround Ma Chao, which was tantamount to a fantasy.
