Sun Jian stared intently, and after looking at it for a long time, Gu said to Wen Chou: "Although I can't see it clearly, Gongfu and Boyang should be ready to face the battle." ”

Before Sun Jian's words fell, he saw a cavalry galloping out of Lu Bu and Xu Rong's camp, and it was estimated that the number of cavalry should be more than five or six hundred horsemen.

Seeing that the Dong soldiers of this battalion were in a slight formation outside the camp, and went straight to the camp of Huang Gai and Sun Ben, Wen Chou guessed: "Lu Bu is in battle, whenever he attacks, he will send Gao Shun's 'trapping camp' first, and this Dong soldier may be Gao Shun's department." ”

After the far-sighted Dong soldiers arrived outside the Huang Gai and Sun Ben camps, they did not immediately attack, but stopped at a slightly farther distance, first gathered and assembled, and after forming a triangular formation of offensive posture, dozens of horsemen galloped out of the formation, and circled around the side of Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp facing the Lu Xu camp, that is, the periphery of the northeast side, and then returned to the formation.

Sun Jian said: "It is no wonder that Gao Shun is known as invincible, this person is not only brave, but also fine. ”

Needless to say, the dozens of cavalry Dong soldiers who came out of the battle just now must have gone to inspect the defense of Huang Gai and Sun Ben's battalions at close range to see if there were any weak points.

Sure enough, after the dozens of cavalry returned to the formation, the Dong soldiers of the hundreds of cavalry slowly adjusted the formation of the attack, and slightly changed the direction of the attack, and this changed direction should be a relatively weak place in defense found by the dozens of cavalry.

In this process, Xu Rong and Lu Bu galloped out of the camp in an endless stream.

Wen Chou and Sun Jian looked at it very much.

Sun Jian had fought with Lu Bu for a long time, although he couldn't see clearly the front banner of these Dong soldiers who came out of the camp later because of the distance, but each general led his troops with his own characteristics, such as in the usual formation, etc., only from these characteristics. Sun Jian judged it: "The first one is Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers, and the one behind must be Xu Rong's Liangzhou soldiers." ”

Wen Chou nodded and said, "In this way, the Dong soldiers who came out of the camp first seem to be Gao Shun's trapped camp. ”

At this time, the camp gate of Hu Zhen's camp was also wide open, and the soldiers came out of the camp one after another.

Suppose that half of the men and horses of the two battalions of Hu Zhen and Xu Lu are used to attack Huang Gai and Sun Ben. -- With Wen Chou and Sun Jian eyeing at each other, it is obviously impossible for their two battalions to come out of the nest in order to protect themselves, and it is quite a lot to be able to send half of the men and horses each, and the two battalions together are more than 10,000 people, and more than 10,000 elite soldiers are attacking Huang Gai and Sun Ben, in the eyes of Hu Zhen and others, it may be enough. But even if only half of the men and horses of each of the two battalions were out, it would take a lot of time for the combined more than 10,000 infantry cavalry to line up and set up an offensive posture.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two Dong soldiers were out of their respective camps, Wen Chou said to Sun Jian: "Wentai, since the Dong soldiers have come out, looking at their situation, there is no doubt that they are hitting Huang Gai and Sun Ben. It's time for you and me to prepare. ”

What to prepare? Of course, they are ready to wait for the two sides to fight, when the war is in full swing and cannot be opened. Troops were sent to attack Hu Zhen's base camp.

Sun Jian responded: "Okay! ”

The two of them immediately passed down their respective military orders, ordering the elites of the various units that had been selected last night to begin assembling and preparing for war.

Wen Chou and Sun Jian each selected two troops last night, one was used to attack Hu Zhen's base camp, and the other was prepared to be sent out when Huang Gai and Sun Ben were in a tight situation, pretending to be the main force to rush to the aid of Huang Gai and Sun Ben.

That's when it happened. Seeing that a small gate had opened on the west side of Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp, about one or two hundred horsemen came out of the gate and rushed towards Hu Zhen's position.

Wen Chou praised: "Wentai, no wonder Qing is not afraid of Dong Bing's attack on Huang Gai and Sun Ben. Huang and Sun Erjun are both wise and brave. ”

Wen Chou and Sun Jian's strategic policy had already been clearly explained to Huang Gai and Sun Ben last night, and they had clearly said to them: If Dong Bing attacks your battalion first. Then the two of us will not rush to your aid immediately, not only will we not rush to help you immediately, but you must also withstand Dong Bing's attack, because my plan is to wait until Dong Bing is entangled by you, and the two of us will know the elite, go straight to Hu Zhen's camp, and take the opportunity to annihilate Hu Zhen first.

In other words, Huang Gai and Sun Ben should now know that after the war, Wen Chou and Sun Jian will not come to rescue them, so in such a situation, the safest choice should be: the camp gate is closed, and they should concentrate on defending the palace, and insist on waiting until Wen Chou and Sun Jian break the Hu Zhen camp.

However, Huang Gai and Sun Ben refused to sit and wait, and were unwilling to sit in the camp and be beaten passively, but even dared to send hundreds of cavalry to fight Hu Zhen first while Hu Zhen was in array, and this courage can indeed be called "brave".

If you think about it further, this is not only "tiger courage", but also a "resource".

"Resourcefulness" in two.

First of all, let Hu Zhen, Lu Bu and Xu Rong misjudge the situation, or let them not realize Wen Chou and Sun Jian's plan quickly. If Huang Gai and Sun Ben closed the camp and couldn't come out, Hu Zhen and the others might not have realized it at first, but as the war progressed, they didn't see Wen Chou and Sun Jian rushing to help, at this time, they might realize that Wen Chou and Sun Jian might have other plans; But now Huang Gai and Sun Ben rode out of the camp in advance, looking fearless, and anyone who looks at it will feel that they must be relying on the help of Wen Chou and Sun Jian, so they dare to take the initiative.

Secondly, Sun Jian and Lu Bu fought, Huang Gai and Sun Ben's task at that time was to feint to attack Taigu, although they did not participate in it, but they watched the battle, through watching the battle, Huang Gai and Sun Ben roughly understood the combat effectiveness of Lu Bu's department, and Hu Zhen arrived later, Huang Gai and Sun Ben did not know much about the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, so before the official start of the war, he sent an elite small army to test it to see how his subordinates were fighting in the end, which was conducive to the next arrangement of troops and the battle to defend the army.

Therefore, Wen Chou praised them for their "wisdom and bravery".

But seeing the small cavalry troops in the camp, they quickly rushed to the position where Hu Zhen was arranged.

Hu Zhen is also a battle-hardened man, he has long been prepared for this, he has already reserved hundreds of cavalry on the side, did not let them participate in the formation, is to guard against this situation, in preparation for Huang Gai, Sun Ben may appear in a sudden attack, at this time seeing that Huang Gai, Sun Ben sent out this small cavalry unit is about to come to the front of the formation, he contemptuously said to the left and right: "Only more than 100 cavalry, dare to rush to my formation?" Nan'er is really a frog, don't you know how sharp my soldiers are? ”

Huang Gai and Sun Ben are both southerners, so Hu Zhen contemptuously called them "Nan'er". Some southerners look down on northerners, and some northerners look down on southerners, which has existed since ancient times, but whether they should afford it or not, it is not just a matter of lip service, but also depends on achievements. Lu Bu also looked down on Sun Jian originally, what was the result? When the two fought, they became admiring each other. (To be continued.) )
