Chapter 204: On the Formation
Although the last step of tonight's battle was not completed, it was enough to complete two-thirds of the battle, and the results were brilliant enough, and there was no way to be seen as a plot, but after teaching Yuan Shao and Cao Ying and others a hard lesson, Meng Ge was very comfortable in his heart, this battle was really enjoyable, and there were so many prisoners to capture when he turned around, there was nothing more wonderful than this.
As for the formation set up by the coalition forces, let's talk about it tomorrow, Meng Ge doesn't think that this formation can't be broken at all, no matter how powerful the arrangement is, there will always be flaws, Meng Ge is not worried about this at all, no matter how bad it is to hide in Hangu Pass and not attack, the enemy can do what I can, there is Hangu Pass, the Kwantung Coalition Army wants to cross this place, it is extremely difficult, since it is already invincible, there is nothing to worry about.
Here Meng Ge patted his ass and left, the coalition army was unable to sleep, who let Meng Ge fight too hard this time, almost the whole army was dispatched, the rain of arrows in the sky seemed to be like no money, the suppression of the arrow rain in this battle was too terrifying, otherwise the coalition army would not have been defeated so quickly.
Although the arrows are cool, but the reserve of arrows has decreased sharply, although some of the arrows that can continue to be used have been recovered, the reserves of this arrow have dropped a lot, this is only half a night of fighting, the crossbow battalion and the cavalry battalion consumed more than 100,000 arrows, it is indeed a frightening number, but the consumption of such a huge amount of arrows is also considered to be worth the money, the specific number of enemies and prisoners has not yet come out, but it is not a few, plus there are a lot of weapons and horses captured, it can be regarded as a big victory.
However, the loss in this battle is not small, the loss of troops in this battle is afraid to reach 3,000, I am afraid that it is the largest loss since Mongo led the troops to fight, and the combat strength of the coalition army should not be underestimated.
Although last night experienced a big victory, the atmosphere in Hangu Pass is still tense, early in the morning Meng Ge got up, every time the practice of martial arts is already Meng Ge's habit, never relaxed, even if it is occasionally interrupted, it is very rare, since the appearance of the gang, Meng Ge has become more and more enthusiastic about practicing martial arts, and it seems that he is uncomfortable if he does not practice.
"Hey, look at it, the general is practicing martial arts again, our generals are already so powerful and still practicing martial arts desperately, they are really diligent enough, no wonder we can't catch up with the general." The passing soldier muttered a few words quietly.
"Come on, don't look at it, you won't be able to practice that kind of skill again, but then again, it would be good if the general passed on his skills in the army, hey, otherwise if you want to have that kind of skill, we don't have that hope in this life!"
"Chuan Yi, you can come out of it, if this can be passed on to you, it will be called a strange thing, this kind of martial arts will not be passed on lightly."
Sometimes people always envy others, and now Meng Ge also has a reason to make others envious, listening to the surrounding discussions, Meng Ge did not have the slightest pride in his heart, but felt that he had missed something, it seemed that he had not taught any martial arts in addition to teaching a few tricks, which was not very should, but this fight Tiangang is too mysterious, so far Meng Ge has not fully understood the mystery, after practicing Gang Qi, it is even more incredible, the first layer is just to increase strength, It seems that after practicing Gangqi, it is completely different.
However, during this period of war, Meng Ge did not have time to properly understand the mysteries, so that his understanding of Gang Qi was still on the surface, and Meng Ge secretly made up his mind that immediately after the end of this battle, he would focus on understanding the secrets of Gang Qi and must understand the mysteries.
After finishing the homework that must be done every day, Mongo washed his face and came to the council room, at this time all the generals have been in place, just waiting for Mongo to come, today's meeting is nothing more than yesterday's battle and the opponent's position, among which the enemy position will be the most important point, unable to open the enemy position, then it means that it is impossible to attack, suffered two losses in a row, and the coalition army will not easily attack the city, this point still needs to be solved, and the future battle is bound to face this formation, of course it is necessary to crack.
"I've seen the general!" When Mongo came in, all the soldiers stood up and saluted him.
"Excuse me!" Meng Ge, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up, and then said: "Last night's victory was the result of everyone's concerted efforts, but the war is not over yet, and the coalition forces are still staying at our doorstep, so you should not underestimate the enemy!" Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu are not so easy to deal with! ”
Don't underestimate the enemy is what Meng Ge must say after winning the battle, everyone knows it, as soon as the words fell, Xu Rong said: "Well, what the general said is that although he has just won the stage surname, there is still a long way to go before the final victory, and the enemy's position outside has been opened, and when I came, I went to the city tower to take a look, it is really not easy to break!" ”
"Oh! Zai Yu (Xu Rong's words, I can't find his words on the Internet, so I have to make one!) I've already seen it, since that's the case, let's talk about it, how is this one, last night was dark, I can't find out the reality, today I have to explore the reality again, let's talk about it first, so I can understand the situation of this array! Meng Ge motioned for Xu Rong to continue, Meng Ge didn't need to question Xu Rong's tactical vision.
Everyone present turned their heads to look at Xu Rong, for this period outside the gate, everyone seems to know what is important, and it is good to have an idea when dealing with it in the future, otherwise if it is right in the future, it will not be worth it to suffer a loss, everyone is holding their breath, and they dare not have the slightest negligence.
Receiving Meng Ge's signal, Xu Rong said with a slightly worried face: "Since the general asked me to talk about it, then I will talk about my own shallow opinion, this morning, I look at the enemy's formation, it seems that there is a tactical idea of the famous general Lian Po of Zhao State, relying on fortifications to build a three-dimensional defense system, each stronghold is arranged like a huge net, and the support between each other is quite fast, the front stronghold is based on the spearman and the sword and shield hand, the spearman is combined with the sword and shield hand, the sword and shield hand is responsible for defense, and the spearman is from the back row, attacking and defending as one, Coupled with the fortifications and the location of the high points, it is not easy to break through. ”
The stronghold composed of sword and shield men and spearmen, plus fortifications, this is difficult to do, Meng Ge suddenly understood the general situation of the stronghold of the front army in this formation, the enemy army put on such a formation, this is really not so easy to break, the strong attack must be blocked by the fortifications, the cavalry charge battle game This kind of stronghold unit is not very useful, if you run, you have a sword and shield hand and fortifications to protect it, and it is really a bit of a feeling of gnawing and not moving.
As the only one who has entered the formation, Xia Houlan certainly has the right to speak in this matter, last night he also thought about how to break the formation, and then continued: "If you want to break through this kind of stronghold, it is quite difficult, not to mention that the enemy army still has rear support, yesterday I tested the enemy formation, and found that the support between the various strongholds is very fast, once trapped, it is difficult to come out, then the enemy will be surrounded and killed, I think the only way to pull out the strongholds one by one, step by step, and slowly advance is the safest way, it is not appropriate to rush and fight!" ”
"Indeed, this is a way, but it ignores another point, the enemy army takes two or three hundred people as a stronghold, closely integrated with each other, although there are gaps, but that is only for you to go in and die, once you fall into it, you will inevitably face siege, but this is not the most important, in my opinion, the stronghold formed by the front army can be moved, if several small formations are united, it will be a tactic, its shape seems to be very similar to four petals, and various changes will be derived between the division and combination, it is not easy to break!" Zhang Liao expressed his opinion, in his opinion, it is not easy to break through this formation, this is only the former army stronghold, and what changes need to be further explored to know.
petals, Meng Ge was slightly stunned, roughly drew the figure This seems to be a change in the gossip array, I didn't expect the enemy to really have a set, and he actually made such a set of defenses, but if you look at it again, it's a bit plausible, the former army stronghold sword and shield hand plus spearmen and fortifications, how to look at it, it's a defense-based formation, and if this array is applied to the attack power, it is the most impressive, because the support between the departments is very rapid, and the offensive is continuous when attacking, but if you change the sword and shield hand, it will completely change the taste, However, the ability to encircle and kill has become extremely strong, the sword and shield are encircled together, and the spearmen stab and kill, which is indeed insidious enough.
However, the most lethal is not the problem of defense, but the problem of the enemy's front, a front of dozens of miles, which can be encircled from both wings at any time, in the general direction, this is a division and encirclement formation, the advantage of the coalition army lies in the number of troops, whether it is from the middle or from the side, it is not so easy, because the enemy can change the formation at any time, and the long front can further exert the advantage of numbers.
Last night, it was because the enemy front could not be completely opened, resulting in the advantage of numbers could not be played, and the overly dense formation led to the strong crossbow to exert a huge lethality, if the final result of the retreat is a great rout of being killed, the final result also confirms this, whether it is Wen Chou or Yan Liang, they don't want to retreat, but they can't retreat at all, a step back is a big rout, and it will disperse the rear army, retreat is the end, want to stabilize the position and be suppressed by the three generals sent by Mongo, This led to the final defeat.
But now it's different, the coalition forces have been completely opened, the advantage of numbers has been brought into play, and it is really not so easy to get out of the enemy to surround it, this time Menggo is embarrassed, if the enemy has been putting this turtle shell, this battle really dare not fight.
"Turtle shell, I can't eat it!" Yang Dingfang smiled bitterly, everyone was immediately frustrated, what he said was not wrong at all, this kind of turtle shell is really difficult to move, there is no way who will make the family have more soldiers.
"That's right, this turtle shell is indeed not easy to gnaw, but it's not a big deal, the coalition forces came from afar, and in the end he put down such a turtle shell, he is afraid that he will have no face to see people!" Su Jiande made fun of the Kwantung Coalition Army with humor, but it made the solemn atmosphere relax.
The solemn atmosphere was clear for a while, and Meng Ge continued: "Everyone, in fact, there is no need to care about this, since the enemy army has set up a defensive formation, the attack is bound to be unfavorable, this formation can only be placed seventeen or eighteen miles away from Hangu Pass, that place is rugged, undulating, just conducive to setting up this formation, plus the terrain is open, the coalition forces can give full play to the advantages of their forces, but if they dare to come to Hangu Pass, it is to find death, so you don't need to worry, since he likes stalemate, then stalemate, We can afford it, they can't afford it, and besides, Dian Wei's guy won't let them have a good time. ”
"Yes, that's right, the poisonous dragon camp hasn't moved for a long time, there must be a big move, let's just wait and see, to be honest, I really can't do it, they don't have any flaws at all, as long as they show a trace of flaws, we have a chance to break up the coalition army, we have Hangu in hand, it's not us who should be in a hurry, but the other party!" Xiahou Lan looked proud, anyway, there is nothing to worry about, as long as Hangu Pass is not lost, the enemy army will have no chance.
"What does the general mean?" Unable to break the formation, Xu Rong seemed to be a little unwilling, he should have taken advantage of the victory to chase and break it with one blow, but now he has to slow down, which is really a little unpleasant.
"Well, wait a minute, the method of breaking the formation still needs to be thought about carefully, don't be in a hurry, if you have any ideas to put forward, how to break this formation still needs your efforts, if you can break this formation, then the combat capability of our army will be stronger in the future, and you will not be afraid to encounter this kind of hard bones!" Although Mongo has some ideas, he doesn't know if he can do it, and he still needs to think about it.
Jia Xu, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "There is no hurry to break the formation, our army has just gone through a big battle, and it still needs to rest, the generals should rest for a while first!" ”
It's not that Jia Xu doesn't want to say it just now, but he is good at strategy, and he is not particularly outstanding in the art of battle formation, and Jia Xu can't think of a way to crack this formation in a short period of time, the most important thing is the problem of insufficient troops, if Meng Ge has the same strength at this time, then it can be broken, but unfortunately there is no such condition, and it is not so simple to defeat the strong with the weak.
Hanguguan is planning to break the formation, but the coalition camp is gloomy, hundreds of thousands of troops came from afar, and touched the nail twice in a row, this time the loss is even heavier, if it wasn't for the drama to remind Cao Ying, maybe even the camp was broken through by Meng Ge, Wen Chou didn't know what he was doing one night, and he chased for a long time and even touched the enemy's hair, which made Yuan Benchu angry.
If you want to say who has suffered the heaviest losses in the coalition army, it is Yuan Benchu, this guy's 20,000 army was disabled, and the biggest loss is this guy, followed by Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, and the rest of the princes have their own injuries, anyway, no one's mood is very easy at this time.
"Where did you go last night?" Yuan Shao, whose face was pale, stared at Wen Chou with a pair of eyes.
"Well, I'm chasing the enemy!" Wen Chou replied to Yuan Shao with a weak heart, but what he said was the truth.
"Did you catch it?" Yuan Shao's tone became more and more cold, although Wen Chou was his favorite general, but this time he lost his troops and lost his general, Wen Chou couldn't even see a shadow, how could he not be angry.
"No, I ran away!" Wen Chou is suffocated to death, this matter is a big deal.
"You!" Yuan Shao trembled angrily, his fingers trembled and pointed at Wen Chou, who didn't know what to say, he was considered to have taken Wen Chou......
