The coalition army suffered huge losses, Yuan Shao's losses were even more heavy, now Yuan Shao's heart is dripping blood, he never thought that Menggo's army would have such an attack power, if he knew this, I am afraid that he would not pull the army out if he was killed, the originally extremely easy task of guarding has become this situation, what is even more infuriating is that Wen Chou this guy, he didn't know what he was fighting after a night, and he didn't even touch the shadow of an enemy, it was a big joke, Now he Yuan Shaoke really feels shameless.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Yuan Shao turned around and said to the interrogator with an angry face: "Punishment, this guy must be punished, next time let him remember his surname for a long time, pass on the order, and beat him with a hundred boards!" ”

At this time, it is not appropriate to play a hundred boards, and the judge immediately hugged his fists and said: "This is not suitable, my lord, according to the situation at the time, it doesn't matter if General Wen is not there, the most important thing is that if you let that cavalry army mess around, then what will be the consequences, this lord must think about it, if General Wen does not entangle the enemy army at that time, then the consequence is that the enemy army will copy the back road, which the lord needs to be aware of!" ”

This statement is reasonable, although Yuan Shao is still angry, but he listened to this, so he had to suppress his anger and said: "Then Zhengnan, tell me, if you don't punish him, how can you convince the public!" ”

As the lord, rewards and punishments are clearly necessary, and now Wen Chou not only folded the army, but also didn't know where to run all night, this situation is not the same as Yan Liang, the two cannot be compared, not to mention that Yan Liang's defeat was also because of the retreat, Yuan Shao could not punish Yan Liang, but Wen Chou had to be punished.

The judge understood what Yuan Shao meant, and immediately smiled slightly: "What the lord said is very true, not punishing is not enough to convince the public, but you can make meritorious contributions, this defeat is not the fault of General Wen, and the loss of troops and generals cannot be blamed on General Wen, the lord only needs to state this point first, and then propose to wear the crime and make meritorious service, this is not the time to punish, I think the lord should understand, sometimes you need to be tactful, but there will be a better effect." ”

Tactfully, Yuan Shao suddenly realized, this battle defeat is the time when people's hearts are unstable, at this time, it is not appropriate to punish too much, even if you want to punish, you can only punish lightly, otherwise people's hearts will be disrupted, in a word, people's hearts are scattered, this team is not easy to bring, and buying people's hearts must be put first for those who are superior.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yuan Shaocai frowned and said, "Since this is the case, let him go this time, go, and go to see the wounded." ”

"The lord is wise!" The judge bowed slightly, Yuan Shao could listen to the advice, this is easy to do, although the battle was lost at this time, but Jizhou is already in hand, and the foundation is not damaged, it is not the moment of life and death, but it should seize this opportunity to appease some people, after all, he has just taken over as Jizhou Mu, and the people under Han Fu still need to be appeased.

Individuals have personal troubles, Yuan Shao is having a headache, Meng Ge is having a headache, the enemy formation is not easy to break, this was expected last night, although it was just a quick glance, Meng Ge can feel that this change is unusual, this time I am afraid that I have met an opponent, an opponent who is enough to be equal, but I don't know who this opponent is, Meng Ge is a bit like seeing each other.

In order to further test the enemy's formation, Mungo still decided to explore this formation, under the scorching heat, Mungo once again personally led two cavalry battalions and a group of generals to the enemy's formation, facing this line that spread for dozens of miles, Mungo always felt that it was difficult to speak, if he bit hard, he was afraid that he would have to break his teeth.

"Zhang Liao, come forward and call for battle, is there an excuse? Just said that I want to meet Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde, I want to catch up with them! Oh, by the way, if Liu Bei is here, let him come out too! After a little thought, Mongo came up with such an excuse that was not an excuse, obviously he had come to check the change in formation, but he made up such a high-sounding reason, like an old friend catching up.

The generals who have followed Meng Ge for a while know that Meng Ge has almost no friends in the court, Cai Yong is a good friend, but now I am afraid that he will also make a bad friend, and then it is Dong Zhuo's old department, barely a friend who uses each other, this friendship is probably weaker than Qing Shui, this insider snickered one after another, this kind of bad excuse can also be found, and the other party will come out to call it hell.

Even Zhang Liao was confused, didn't he come to watch the battle, why did it become a reminiscence after a while, but a military order is a military order, Zhang Liao hurriedly took the order and left, at this time, if Jia Xu was here, I am afraid he would not think so, he would definitely know Meng Ge's insidious thoughts.

People are sometimes very strange, when they are ignored, they will always try to attract the attention of others, Meng Ge only named Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Liu Bei, the intention is to disgust the coalition army, and create a little contradiction at will, if Yuan Shu and others can't bear it, it will be a little useful.

"Listen to the people in front, today our army is not here to challenge, my general wants to meet the leader of Yuan Meng, and there are also two heroes, Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande, I don't know if the three dare to come out and see it!" After receiving Meng Ge's military order, Zhang Liao immediately came to the front of the coalition army and shouted two sentences.

This method is not intended to be of any use, now Mongo is observing the enemy's position at close range, standing on the tower can only see the general line, but here there is a more intuitive understanding, finally come to a trip how to bring back something useful.

The position of the front army Mongo has been seen last night, this has been confirmed, the combination of fortifications plus swords and shields, and spearmen is indeed difficult to break, but the key is still the stronghold behind the enemy, this time Mongo saw clearly, the enemy's rear formation is not only this stronghold, but crossbow formations and cavalry, it seems that the enemy has also gone through some research, the front army's defense is strong, but the attack power is not too high, only when the enemy army is besieged will it have unparalleled attack power, such a formation is obviously strong and weak in attack.

Then in the rear army to arrange a cavalry stronghold, you can increase a lot of counterattack power, as long as the flaws are exposed, then the enemy cavalry will inevitably join the battle, the implementation of a sneak attack, once the other party sneak attack succeeds, it hurts to be yourself, in addition to the existence of the crossbow array is also to enhance support, if necessary, I am afraid that even their own people will shoot, anyway, there is a shield array composed of swords and shields plus fortifications, the most unlucky must be the attacking side.

In addition, the existence of the cavalry is also a huge containment, the existence of the cavalry array will make people dare not easily use all their strength, always maintain a deterrent force, this arrangement is indeed a bit of power, plus the scattered stronghold can not only prevent the cavalry from charging, but also limit the space for sprinting, the ability of the cavalry to charge the formation will be greatly reduced, and the onslaught of the infantry is difficult to easily break through the enemy's sword and shield formation, which is indeed a bit of an offensive and defensive posture.

This is just a superficial arrangement, how many changes can occur in the end has not been calculated, if you count the enemy's change formation, then there will be more variables, this formation is a change in the Bagua Array, but it is not a conventional Bagua Array, and the law of change is not known, looking at the formation in front of him, Meng Ge's face became more and more solemn, this array is more powerful than estimated.

Since such a period has been placed, Menggo's coming, as early as Xi Zhicai's expectations, it is really helpless to put down such a formation, the attack power of Menggo's army still exceeds his expectations, and he has no choice but to do it, if he doesn't put down such a turtle shell, it will be difficult to do, I'm afraid that now I and the others don't know where they are, and Menggo's bold guy may even end the camp.

Just when Xi Zhicai was thinking hard about the strategy of breaking the enemy, Cao Ying ran in in a hurry and said: "Zhicai, come and see, this Meng Ge actually said that he wanted to catch up with me, Ben Chu, and Xuande, I'm afraid it's another ghost idea!" ”

Carefully looking at the map of Hangu Pass and this battle, Xi Zhicai was not surprised at all, and immediately smiled: "The lord doesn't have to be surprised, it's impossible to play some tricks with Menggo's surname, the old is just a disguise, the real purpose is probably to watch the layout of our army, by the way to sow discord, today he will not choose to break the formation, if the lord is interested, it is better to go to meet him for a while, it is best to even call all the princes of the Kwantung region, so that it can appear polite and thoughtful, since everyone is here, then everyone has to meet this powerful demon general." ”

"Oh, it seems that Zhicai is very confident in this formation, so I can rest assured!" Cao Ying's anxious look was gone, how powerful was this time Cao Ying understood that he was so calm when he watched the drama now, of course he was more at ease in his heart, as for Meng Ge's reminiscences, Cao Ying didn't take it to heart at all.

However, Xi Zhicai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that my formation is powerful, if Menggo's strength increases by a part, I'm afraid Menggo will dare to break my formation, now it is impossible for any of the Kwantung coalition forces to face Menggo's attack, and the alliance has become inevitable, even if the coalition is so powerful, but it still repeatedly allows Menggo to sneak attack successfully, I think this time will not be difficult for Menggo for a long time, we must find a way to deal with him as soon as possible, otherwise our army will be in danger, whether we can be so lucky to block Menggo next time It is not necessarily." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Ying's brows furrowed again, since Xi Zhicai said so, then it proves one point, he is indeed not sure, otherwise he would never say such depressing words, the Xi Zhicai he saw before has always been Zhizhu in his hands, but now it is completely different.

Just when the two were talking about this, Meng Ge, who had been observing outside the formation for a long time, finally had a new move, since Yuan Benchu and the others were unwilling to come out to talk about it, then Meng Ge was no longer polite, he planned to leave a little greeting gift, by the way to confirm the conjecture in his heart, although it is not too clear how to crack this formation, but it can be tried.

"Xia Houlan, shoot the target! Shoot again when you get closer! Meng Ge, who had been watching for a while, suddenly gave such an inexplicable order to Xia Houlan, and the generals didn't turn a corner at all, where did this target come from!

"General, where is this target?" Xia Houlan touched her head inexplicably, this is not dazzling.

"Isn't that right, go shoot two arrows, aim and shoot! Don't panic! Mungo pointed to the opponent's stronghold, this imperfect stronghold has a lot of loopholes, it is not as good as a strong fortification at all, in fact, there is no need for strong fortifications in this era, and this kind of thing is certainly not needed before gunpowder and other weapons are born.

Live target, Xia Houlan understood, Xia Houlan nodded at the moment, and immediately ran to the front with dozens of people, the minds of the coalition soldiers who were waiting for the battle were blank, what did the other party want to do, everyone was very puzzled, but the bright arrows were chilling, to run or not to run, this was a difficult choice.

"Hey, brother, you have to withstand it, if this shield is useless, let's finish it together!" The spearman behind the sword and shield man said with a strange face, he was frightened, and it was really not a taste for the enemy to be aimed at like this.

"Brother, don't count on me, I don't know if this shield will work, why don't we change it?"

"Ah, I, this, that, or, forget it, you just get on, I'll support you in the back!" ……

People will always be afraid, and it is impossible to be vigilant at all times, and the enemy army has one of the biggest disadvantages, that is, the movement speed is too slow, holding a huge shield, plus armor and weapons, the weight is certainly not light, this slow movement speed is of course not surprising, in this case then this is a toothless tiger, can not bite people, no matter how strong the defense is useless.

"Go back, you've seen almost everything you need to see!" There was no point in continuing to watch, and Mongo, who had already achieved his goal, turned around and returned to Hangu Pass, leaving behind a group of soldiers who were scared half to death, and they really thought they were about to die, and the bright arrows were no joke.

This can be regarded as a probe, this seems to be a little wrong, everyone is confused, they can't figure out what medicine is sold in Menggo's gourd, Zhang Liao and Xiahoulan, you look at me, I look at you, the result is the same, no one knows what the hell Mengge is doing, watching the array is watching, but this exploration array is not carried out.

Xia Houlan was really embarrassed along the way, and when she arrived at the door, she couldn't help but ask, "General, let's not explore this formation?" Or have you already explored it! ”

"Think to yourself, go back to sleep, I'm tired!" Mongo didn't reveal anything at all, but looked like he wasn't sleep-deprived, he was busy fighting last night, of course he didn't sleep well, but he was really a little tired.

Xia Houlan, who couldn't get any answer, looked back at everyone in confusion, and said with a wry smile: "Do you understand? ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all shook their heads, who knows what this means, this time Mongo began to play mystery again, I'm afraid it won't be said when the time comes, if you can't think of it, then wait honestly!

Just like what Xi Zhicai said, if Meng Ge's troops are enough, he can choose to break it, but now Meng Ge's troops are insufficient, this method will not work, so he can only come up with another way to break the formation, and Meng Ge has already thought of it, but the time has not yet come, and it is very difficult to break the formation......
