The day after Qin Cao Yuan Liu arrived in Jinyang City.

Outside Jinyang City, the official army camp sounded the earth-shattering drums and the sound of horns covering the ground.

After the golden drum was finished, the generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the tent, Yuan Dashuai was very imposing, and he sat high. On the left side below, Qin Feng and Cao Cao were seated, opposite the two, and Ding Yuan and Liu Bei were seated. The rest of Xun Yu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others stood in turn.

This lineup is said to be the first lineup in the current Eastern Han Dynasty, and absolutely no one dares to have an opinion.

Yuan Shao inspected the heads of the people, and found that they were all there, and there was an unfamiliar face, and he couldn't help but point to Gao Shun and said, "Who is this?" ”

Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Benchu, this is my former general's department, the new general Sima Gaoshun, Gao Boda. ”

Gao Shun walked out, neither humble nor arrogant, and saluted with his fists, "I've seen General Yuan, and all the generals." ”

"Oh~." Cao Yuan Liu didn't ask much, after all, Qin Feng opened the mansion to govern the army, this is all the business of the people's headquarters, and it has nothing to do with them.

And Zhang Liao had already reported Qin Feng's promotion of Gao Shun to Ding Yuan yesterday.

At this moment, Ding Yuan, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his heart said that this Qin Zijin took away a soldier from my state army as Sima, which is simply inexplicable. This guy is called Gao Shun, and he has such a great ability?

Ding Yuan didn't know Gao Shun's ability, if he could predict the prophet, he would not be cut off by Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu learned about this, he was very envious of Gao Shun. And Zhang Liao is happy for Gao Shun. Zhang Liao also knew how important it was to meet the right person at the right time.

Next, Ding Yuan gave a detailed account of the situation of the Huns.

In general, the base camp of the Huns was set up in Yanmen County, and the strength of the army reached 30,000. Due to the indiscriminate sweeping of places by the Xiongnu, grain and grass materials were sufficient. However, it is worth mentioning that the big cities of Yanmen and other counties are still in the hands of the official army, so the Xiongnu did not have a strong city to rely on.

After Ding Yuan finished his introduction, he asked, "General Yuan." Is there a way to break the enemy? ”

Yuan Shao looked quite confident, and said eloquently: "Our army is superior to the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu have no city to retreat. I am going to write a war letter, about the Hun king Qiangqu. Four days later, on the first day of the fifth month, the decisive battle was held. ”

Decisive battle against the Huns on Labor Day?

Qin Feng felt that Yuan Shao was a person with ideas, so he reminded: "General Yuan." The 30,000 elites of the Huns are all good at riding and archery, and their combat power is very strong. Although our army has the advantage in numbers, the number of cavalry is only 3,000, so we should not be careless. ”

It seems that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Xun Yu and others think so.

Yuan Dashuai is not a mortal, he laughed and said: "How can this marshal not know that the Huns are riding and shooting, and their combat power is extremely strong." However, mounted shooting is not as good as infantry shooting. He stood up as he spoke, pointing to the military map, "So Ben Shuai chose the decisive battle site at the foot of Gaojinzhai Mountain in the south of "Jingle County". Its terrain is a loess hilly area, and the long and narrow terrain from north to south is undulating and scattered, which will greatly limit the mobility of the cavalry. ”

Yuan Shao said this. He said very confidently: "The commander arranged the infantry in front and led the Huns to ride deep. The crossbowmen hid behind the formation and fired fiercely. He waved his hand heavily, "The cavalry on both wings is outflanked, and the living force of the Huns will be annihilated in one battle." ”

Qin Feng thought about it carefully, in later generations, the generals under Yuan Shao used such a formation to KO Gongsun Zhan's white horse cavalry.

Cao Cao couldn't help but nod and stretched out his thumb. Said: "General Yuan's arrangement is very clever. ”

Liu Bei fanned his ears and said, "I just don't know, will the Huns come?" If you don't come....... ”

Yuan Shao's head was big and he said, "If you don't come, you won't come." ”

There is some truth to that. didn't come to ponder anymore, so everyone couldn't help but nod when they saw that Yuan Shao was talking about the Tao.

Qin Feng and his military advisor Xun Yu glanced at each other, although they thought that it could not be as simple as Yuan Shao said. However, the confrontation between the two armies must be right, and the officers and armies have a geographical advantage. If the Xiongnu really came to Gaojinzhai Mountain. It couldn't be better. If there are other changes, you also need to make a decision, and no matter how much you think about it now, it is useless.

So far, Yuan Shao's strategy has been approved by everyone.

As a result, Yuan Shao began to distribute orders, "The Bingzhou army is the vanguard, and the battle and retreat are responsible for luring the enemy into depth." ”

"Ringworm is responsible for outflanking the cavalry on both flanks."

"Zijin and Meng De are the two wings of the Chinese army, and the commander is personally responsible for the dispatch of the Chinese army."

At this point, Yuan Shao also prepared to place a crab array. He is ready to lead this crab formation, walking at the foot of Gaojinzhai Mountain, the undulating and bumpy "underwater world", attracting the Hun cavalry to enter, Daao circle, mouth spewing out arrows, can destroy the Huns.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and said in his heart that it would be good to be promoted, but the most difficult task was not me. He endured humiliation and burdens for many years, and often undertook the most dangerous and difficult military tasks. At this moment, I feel that the most difficult years have passed, and the dawn has come.

As for Ding Yuan, he didn't have the slightest feeling about the possibility of losing troops by luring the enemy deep. Because now he has no consciousness of the period of secession of later princes. For him, all the soldiers are dead, and that is the problem of the imperial court. The defeat was also Yuan Shao's unfavorable command.

The strategy and tactics have been decided, and the next step is to see whether the Huns will accept the recruitment.

So he rode out of the camp on a fast horse, took the war book, and went straight to the Xiongnu base camp.

Fast horses, that is, fast horses, ran 80 kilometers in three hours and came to a prairie in the southwest of Yanmen County.

I saw that on the grassland, the dome tents of the Huns formed a gathering place and covered the earth. The Huns shouted constantly, occasionally a group of horses galloped, and the Huns could be seen grazing cattle and sheep.

The war book soon reached Qiangqu's hands.

In front of the largest luxurious royal tent in the gathering place, the warriors of the Huns puffed out their cheeks and sounded the three-meter-long horn.

Suddenly, dust rose everywhere in the gathering place, and when the sound of horses' hooves sounded, the dust and smoke formed an earth dragon, and the smoke went to the king's tent.

Soon, the Xiongnu king Qiangqu summoned his Xiongnu generals, in fact, most of them were his descendants.

Qiangqu's two sons, Yu Fuluo, the eldest prince of the Xiongnu, Hu Chuquan, the second prince, are in front, and Liu Bao, the son of Yu Fuluo, is behind.

Why Yu Fuluo's son is surnamed Liu must be traced back to the period of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. It is said that Liu Bang was a very powerful king, he defeated figures like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and established a huge Han Empire. One day, he gave a daughter to the Hun king Maodun, as for the reason for sending the girl, I won't say much. And he also made an appointment with Maudun as brothers. In this way, Liu Bang is both an old man. It's brother again. Therefore, sometimes, when the Xiongnu royal family remembered a Han name, they took the surname of the Han Dynasty.

Huns. A group of big bald heads, with hideous faces. He carried a bow on his back and a scimitar at his waist.

"Father, I don't know what called us?" Yuvro stepped forward and asked.

Qiang Qu sat on his tiger skin throne and casually threw out Yuan Shao's war book.

Yuvro picked it up and looked at it. frowned, and passed the war book out.

At this time, Qiang Qu leaned on the throne and scratched the back of his bare head, and said, "This time, the official army has arrived with 50,000 people. There are also famous generals Yuan Shao, Qin Feng, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, who are known as the new generation of the Han Dynasty, leading the ....... ”

"What new generation of famous players?" The second prince called out to Chuquan and said, "Father, don't overestimate the official army. ”

"Overrated?" Qiang Qu sat up straight and said, "Don't you know that hundreds of years ago, Wei Qinghuo went to illness?" ”

Hu Chuquan said disappreciably: "That was the leader of the Huns at that time, who fell for the tricks of the official army Wei Qing and others. They entered the mountain horns and gave up the advantage of riding archers in the savannah. Surrounded by officers and soldiers, defeated. ”

Yu Fuluo's son Liu Bao followed: "This time, we are on the grassland. The vastness of the grassland, how can the people of the Central Plains understand? Here, our Huns rode archers, invincible! ”

Hu Chuquan said: "Father, the grassland, will always be the grassland of our Huns, and no one can really defeat us here." No matter how many officers and soldiers come, the cavalry warriors of our clan. How many come, how many kill! ”

As a result, the Huns shouted one by one: "As long as we are on the grassland, the official army will not be able to defeat us!" ”

Seemingly. The lesson of the blood of the ancestors let the current Huns know that at any time when they are engaged with the official army, they will never enter the terrain that is unfavorable to them

Qiang Qu looked approving as he leaned back on the throne. said: "This time, the decisive battle site chosen by Yuan Benchu is in the long and narrow mountain!" ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while.

Liu Bao came out and said: "The officials and soldiers are like this again, this must be a conspiracy, the officials and soldiers only think that we are the same as many years ago?" They want to lure our army into fighting in areas where they are not good at, and this time, if they kill us, they can't enter! ”

Qiang Qu waved it, and said earnestly: "This time, I want to go in ......." ”

“······。” The crowd was dumbfounded.

……

On May 1, 186 AD, in the southwest of Jingle County, Yanmen County, at the foot of Gaojinzhai Mountain.

Yuan Shao, the commander of the official army, had already laid a crab array in the narrow and rugged hilly area.

Liu Bei's three brothers led 3,000 cavalry and became the two pincers of the crab formation, and Qin Cao Yuan led 30,000 troops to form a body. And Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led 5,000 soldiers and became bait.

In front of the large array of the Chinese army, there is a handsome flag with the word "Yuan" fluttering, and there are several large flags on the left and right. The words "Qin", "Cao", "Dian", "Xu", "Gao", "Lu", "Zhang" and so on are written.

The visibility on this day was 15 kilometers, Yuan Shao was in high spirits, and as far as the eye could see, the terrain ahead was constantly undulating, and the drop was not small.

Yuan Shao pointed to the undulating terrain of "pits connected to slopes, and under the slopes is pits", and said: "When the Huns enter here, their mobility must be greatly reduced. Feng Xian and Wen Yuan lured the enemy to go deeper, and the enemy came to the front of our Chinese army, and the shield array resisted, and the crossbowmen shot fiercely. When the enemy is in chaos, Zijin Mengde leads the two wings together, the enemy will lose his mobility, and there will be ringworm to cut off the enemy's rear road, surround and annihilate it! ”

His plan was perfect, and when the Huns entered the battlefield, Yuan Shao would first send Lü Bu and Zhang Liao to lure the enemy into the range of crossbowmen. The Huns were all leather-armored cavalry, unable to resist the long-range fire of crossbowmen, and must have been killed and wounded in large numbers. If the Huns were to attack, Yuan Shao had tens of thousands of infantry on his side to resist in formation, and it would be absolutely no problem for 5,000 crossbowmen to destroy 30,000 Huns.

If the Huns slipped, after Liu Bei cut off their retreat, Qin Cao Yuan led the troops to rush up. It's like a group of hunters surrounding the jackals, and the big stick is slammed, and the end is self-evident.

Qin Feng scratched his nose, and said in his heart that the Huns were so stupid? Just came with your head covered?

However, with the sound of horses' hooves that shook the ground, the Huns really came.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and immediately said: "Where are Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, act according to the plan immediately!" ”

"Whoa!" Lü Bu and Zhang Liao received the order and led 5,000 Bingzhou troops to lure the enemy.

Qin Feng looked at the dust that covered the sky and the sun in the distance, and was dumbfounded, "It's really here!" (To be continued.) )
