Chapter 8 Array Diagram Present
The grain and grass military needs of the 200,000 army are very huge, but fortunately, Guo Jia scared Cao Wei's soldiers and horses back to Hebei during the autumn harvest, and after taking the Central Plains, he was also collecting grain and grass while resting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info//Fast update//
Gan Ning, who was anxiously waiting on the front line, was waiting to enter Xuzhou, and in November, Guo Jia's army finally came.
Whether it is attacking Xiangfan or Guo Ye leading the army to level Jiangdong, it is not as great as the battle against Xuzhou.
The total strength of the Taiping Army was 200,000, in addition to Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, there were also the young army led by Dianman, who stayed in Jiangnan to deter Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and other generals of the Taiping Army, all of whom went out with the army.
Gan Ning, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Wei Yan will be the vanguard, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Gao Shun, Zhang Yan, Yan Yan, Pang De and others will be the Chinese army, and Zhang Ren, Deng Zhi, Meng Da, and Xiao Ren will be the generals of the rear army.
The 200,000 soldiers with the momentum of sweeping the world forced Xuzhou City.
Guo Jia sat on the chariot of the Chinese army, wearing a suit of armor, sitting steadily, on his left and right, there were Guo Ye, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Fa Zheng.
The color of the heaven and the earth changed, the slaughter was pervasive, and the Taiping army approached the city of Xuzhou, which was closed with four gates, and wanted to destroy the city.
The formations of the various armies were lined up, Guo Jia did not order the siege of the city on all sides, only sent scouts to pay attention to the movements of the other three gates, if Liu Bei fled, it would be in Guo Jia's arms, and he had 60,000 iron horsemen here eager to try.
The formation got out of the way, Guo Jia's chariot drove to the front of the formation, and now Guo Jia, who is about to be windy and rainy, completely took off his domineering posture when he met Liu Bei outside Jiangling last year.
Looking left and right, the peerless fierce general rode side by side on a horse, Guo Jia looked at the silent Xuzhou City, and didn't know what Liu Bei was thinking at the moment.
In terms of fierce generals, Guo Jia does not lose to him.
In terms of the number of soldiers and horses, there is no comparison.
In terms of the cooperation of the arms, Guo Jia has cavalry, strong bows, and tiger guards with heavy armor and long halberds, and ordinary foot soldiers are not a problem, no matter how this battle is fought, Guo Jia has the chance to win, however, he still hopes to have a dialogue with Liu Bei, which is a kind of etiquette in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the two armies are at war, and there must be some negotiations before the war.
"Liu Xuande, come out and speak."
Guo Jia stood up from his seat, stood on the chariot with his sword in hand, and shouted loudly, his tone was flat.
His words made the defenders in Xuzhou City seem to tremble.
Not long after, Liu Bei, who was also wearing silver armor, appeared, looking down at Guo Jia with a condescending and complicated expression.
"Guo Fengxiao! As a Han minister, you should raise troops to eliminate violence and help the Han family, now you have a strong army in hand, and you can subdue the mountains and rivers of the Han family, if you are willing to support the Son of Heaven to return to the dynasty, I am willing to open the city and work together with you to make a contribution to the revival of the Han family. ”
Liu Xuande, the uncle Liu Huang who is always full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, is still righteous at this moment.
After hearing this, Guo Jia sneered, shook his head with great regret, tilted his head and looked up at Liu Bei with a solemn face in Xuzhou City.
Uncle Huang is old, and his ambition is still there.
"Liu Bei, this moment should be the curtain call of your desperate end, are you a man? If it's a man, open the gates and fight! Death, what about death? Don't use the Han family anymore, and then use the common people in the world as a cover to cover up your ambitions, you Kuang Fu Han family, what were you doing when Cao Pi was the emperor? Shouldn't Uncle Liu, who is loyal to the country, rush to the national disaster with a mortal heart? Liu Bei, as a tyrant who has been in the world for decades, if you want to negotiate conditions with me and then bow down to your subordinates, you are a fool! Either you come down now, and I'll give you a chance to go back and weave mats and sell shoes. Or go out of the city now for a decisive battle, don't let me break through Xuzhou and let you cut off your children and grandchildren! ”
Guo Jia didn't want to talk to Liu Bei more, so he sat down after saying that, just waiting for Liu Bei to make a choice.
"Guo Jia, you!"
Liu Bei's blood was surging, and Guo Jia's outspokenness made him angrier than taunting him with mean and sarcastic words, because Guo Jia was telling the truth.
Turning his head, Liu Bei's lifelong hopes were pinned on Zhuge Liang's body, and at this moment, Zhuge Liang was dashing and still looked calm.
"Strategist, what should our army do now?"
Liu Bei's expression was cloudy.
Withdraw, where to withdraw?
Or to run, there is nowhere to run.
Even if Guo Jia didn't have cavalry, where could he Liu Bei flee with his soldiers and horses?
After the territory of the city was occupied by Guo Jia, Liu Bei, who could only be reduced to the wilderness, became a bandit!
War?
Defend the city or go out of the city?
Zhuge Liang, who shook the feather fan lightly, said calmly: "Lord, swear to defend the city to the death, and you will be defeated within ten days." Let's go out of the city and fight a decisive battle. ”
In Xuzhou, there has already been a hero who finally fell in the defense of the city: Lu Bu.
Back then, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were not as good as Guo Jiaduo now, and now Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are not as many as Lu Bu back then.
Lu Bu was betrayed by his subordinates, because the Cao army besieged the city, and the pressure increased sharply every day, not only the pressure of killing, but also the psychological pressure.
Liu Bei could not guarantee that a few days after the siege of the city by heavy troops, the army under his rule would not mutini and betray him.
If there is a miracle, it will only happen in the decisive battle out of the city, and if you defend the city, the gap between the strength of the two armies will only increase day by day.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Bei thought about it, but still chose to believe Zhuge Liang.
The gate of Xuzhou City opened, Liu Bei all the soldiers and horses, 30,000 people out of the city, led by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Zhi, and behind the 30,000 army, Zhuge Liang was dressed in white and Yiyi, riding on a horse and also out of the city, and was located in the rear of the middle of the army, just opposite the road, which happened to be Guo Jia.
"Zhuge Kongming, I thought you would send me a Xuzhou city."
Guo Jia sat on the chariot with his sword in both hands, and said loudly to Zhuge Liang opposite.
When Liu Bei withdrew his troops from Xiakou and went to Hefei, Guo Jia had doubts about Zhuge Liang's intentions.
It stands to reason that Liu Bei occupied Hefei and cut off the road to the northeast of the Yangtze River, so he forced Jiangdong to fight Jingzhou in disguise, which was beneficial to Guo Jia's layout, so Guo Jia didn't know what Zhuge Liang was thinking in his heart.
Do you want to use the power of earth-shaking in exchange for trust?
So when Guo Jiabing came to Xuzhou, Zhuge Liang should not still be resisting, but now, the two are meeting on the battlefield and facing each other.
Zhuge Liangfeng smiled lightly, and replied to Guo Jia in a loud voice: "In broad daylight, why did you dream about it?" Envoy, there is a please below, dare to ask if the envoy has the courage to fight with him in the next battle? ”
The next war book?
Now in this scenario, the war book?
Guo Jia felt incredible, as long as he gave an order, the 200,000 army could drown the 30,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side in an instant, and Zhuge Liang wanted to fight him? Heads-up?
Don't dare to say anything else, Guo Jia doesn't think that he and Zhuge Liang will lose head-to-head, but Zhuge Liang shouldn't be stupid enough to really let Guo Jia be fooled in this way.
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised, and he was a little interested.
The autumn wind was bleak, Zhuge Liang's clothes fluttered, he waved a feather fan on a horse, and the 30,000 troops in front of him acted in unison, gathering and scattering, after a piece of smoke and dust, the army of the three phalanxes just now seemed to change into another scene.
The three generals who took the lead before, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were all concentrated in the middle and rear of the formation, and the main forces were assembled in the middle of the road, divided into small phalanxes in the shape of fish scales, echelon configuration, and the front section was slightly convex.
"Hahahaha! Zhuge Kongming, I took this war book! ”
Guo Jia stood up with an excited face, pointed at Zhuge Liang opposite, and calmly agreed.
Then, Guo Jia turned his head and said with a smile: "Ye'er, do you see it?" ”
Guo Ye nodded solemnly and said, "This is the Fish Scale Formation, the first attack!" ”
Guo Jia then asked, "How to break it?" ”
Guo Ye blurted out: "The weakness of this array is on the tail side. ”
Guo Jia clapped his hands and said to Pang Tong on the side: "Pass the order, let Dian Wei lead 10,000 tiger guards to resist in the middle, and Gao Shun lead the camp to break the enemy from the rear of the enemy army from both wings!" ”
The 30,000 enemy troops on the opposite side were slowly approaching in a fish-scale formation, Guo Jia gave an order here, waved the flag, Dian Wei immediately led the tiger guard to appear in front of the enemy, and Gao Shun led the trapped camp to kill immediately, passing through the two wings and rushing straight to the tail of the enemy.
The Fish Scale Formation emphasizes the attack, especially the concentration of forces in the center to tear through the defense of the enemy's middle lane, so the trap camp passes through the two flanks, and if the enemy army disperses and fights with the trap camp, it will be chaotic, and if it is ignored, the enemy will steal the rear.
Zhuge Liang saw that the soldiers and horses sent by Guo Jia actually hit the key point, which was expected, but all the truly brave and resourceful generals faced the military formation, they had to think about how to break the formation, if they could not directly hit the vital point, it would form a rout.
The biggest taboo of this fish scale formation is to meet the enemy from the front, and the fatal place is the rear, if the enemy does not know how to deal with this formation, it will fall into a very passive situation.
Seeing that the trapped camp was about to come to the rear of the fish scale array to strike a fatal blow, Zhuge Liang immediately ordered to change the formation!
The three generals of the front unified army were ordered, and the fish scale array composed of 30,000 soldiers and horses immediately moved again, and it would feel very chaotic at a glance, but in fact, in just a moment, the fish scale array formed a circle array, so that there was no breakthrough in the trapped camp, and if it was to rush hard, it would be formed by the circle array in continuous action to form a local advantage to kill the trapped camp.
Gao Shun saw the enemy change formation, and was about to order the trapped camp to stop, but he heard the sound of gold coming from the rear, which was a signal of temporary retreat, just as Gao Shun wished, the camp retreated backwards at the first moment after the sound of gold.
Guo Jia suddenly narrowed his eyes, revealing a somewhat solemn look, after the enemy army in front of him changed from a fish scale formation to a circle formation, when the camp retreated, it changed the formation again, and only in the blink of an eye, a new formation was presented.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the three generals were still in the army, protected by heavy troops, and two wings stretched out in front of the formation, like a pair of wings stretched out from left to right.
"Crane Wing Array!"
Guo Ye's eyes were full of shock, not shocked by this formation, the formation was not difficult, the difficult thing was that the army changed the formation three times in the blink of an eye, calmly and calmly.
Guo Jia turned his head to look at Pang Tong, who was also full of incredulity, and asked, "Shiyuan, do you know what Zhuge Kongming is posing?" ”
Guo Ye had already said the name of the formation just now, and it didn't make sense for Guo Jia to ask knowingly.
Pang Tong looked at Guo Jia in a daze, only to hear Guo Jia's tone reveal an irrepressible excitement, and said slowly.
"Zhuge Kongming, Eight Array Diagrams!" #
