Chapter 203: The First Hole Card
The fire of Chosha, which seems to be the signal for the final chapter of the Battle of Chosha.
As soon as the fire is lit, the calculations of both sides will be in full swing, and whoever can count to the end will be the winner.
A long time ago, Fang Yun had thought about what form if Huangfu Song used fire to attack in the original history? If the Yellow Turban Army's camp is really chaotic and can quickly expand the damage of the fire attack, then it can also limit the movement speed of the Han soldiers or cavalry. In the end, don't light the fire yet, put yourself in it first, and bury the Yellow Turban Army.
The safest way is to light a fire on the periphery in the end, just like Lu Xun's fire burned the company camp during the Battle of Yiling.
The fence on the perimeter of the Yellow Turbans was made of wood, and there was another advantage to igniting a fire on the periphery, which was to block the escape of the soldiers and further expand the damage of the fire attack.
According to the normal historical progress, the confrontation between the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army in Changshe was at the beginning of summer, but it was not until midsummer that the fire attack began, and there were at least two confrontations during this period. However, Fang Yun, who knew about this battle, also found a key person, and that was Cao Cao!
The two sides confronted each other in Changshe for two months, and Cao Cao came to offer a fire attack, and the fire of Changshe was able to burn. Does it look stupid like this? A dignified name can't think of a fire attack, and he wants Cao Cao to remind him, so in the end, in the eyes of outsiders, this famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty actually has a sense of immediacy for Cao Cao......
If not, then there must be a deep meaning in it!
Of course, this does not need to be explored in depth, only one key need to be known, and that is the arrival of Cao Cao. It means the final battle of the Battle of Chosha. Preparations have already begun.
Will prepare. Not only the Han army, after knowing that Cao Cao had arrived, Fang Yun would also start to prepare. This kind of preparation was not suitable for premature, after all, the strength of the reconnaissance cavalry on both sides was not at the same level at all, if they prepared too early, they would only expose their own arrangements to the seriousness of the enemy, this was not the result that Fang Yun was willing to see.
"How are the remaining soldiers in the camp arranged?" In the dark night, Fang Yun asked silently.
"The passage for an emergency retreat has been arranged. And a safe retreat route has been arranged. As long as they are able to retreat safely according to our predetermined plan, then there will be absolutely no problems. Xi Zhicai replied.
"It's just that I'm curious, seeing that the fire is all around them, how many of them can keep a normal heart and think of our arrangement?" Fang Yun smiled bitterly.
"Originally, it was a second-line army, and we have already arranged it for them, if they are stupid, they will die in vain." Zhou Cang on the side said disdainfully.
"I just hope that they will be able to hold out until the end!" Dian Wei was a little worried. Worried about those guys retreating early. It doesn't matter if they retreat, if the Han army discovers the reality of the camp. Then the results of this battle will be greatly reduced.
"This is a military order issued by Qu Shuai himself, and they dare not disobey it. Most importantly, we promised that if they survived, they would be able to join our ranks, which should be a good temptation for them in the second-line troops. Confused, right? Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
"A team with an average age of thirty or more, doesn't that meet our recruitment criteria?" Xie Ran was shocked.
"Our army doesn't only have the main combat troops, but also the engineering battalion, the baggage battalion and the firehead army, don't they?" Fang Yun said with a smile.
"Lord, for the first time, I think you are really unkind." Xie Ran smiled bitterly, in some occasions, only he can properly ridicule a few words, this is the result of acquiescence, everyone can see that Xie Yuan and Fang Yun will inevitably come together, and Xie Ran will be Fang Yun's brother-in-law at that time.
"Where are the enemy forces now?" Fang Yun didn't plan to continue this topic, just because it wasn't suitable at the moment.
"The enemy has reached the predetermined position, and the fire will burn to the side of the camp in a quarter of an hour!" Xi Zhi returned.
"Go according to the scheduled plan! By the way, we also give our gifts to the Han army! Fang Yun said with a smile.
The rest of the things naturally don't need to be done by him personally, and there will be guards to go to the designated place to make arrangements. Following Fang Yun's order, the guards quickly came to the woods two miles southeast of the Han army's camp and let out a few owl calls.
This sound is learned so vividly that others listen to it, but they are afraid that they really think that it is an owl calling, and only the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army can judge whether it is a signal from some rhythm in the call.
Got the signal, and a bush of grass not far away began to open, revealing a piece of floor, which was actually the location of a secret outpost.
"Spark, Lord Order, Plan Begins!" The pro-soldier first reported the incision, and then gave the order.
"Shang Ke Liaoyuan, understand, everything is going according to plan!" The sentry returned the incision, signaling that he understood.
The guards immediately went back to report the results, and the dark sentry began to give a signal quickly, a large amount of ground was opened, and the three hundred soldiers hidden inside quickly dispatched, and moved out a large amount of fuel and nearly a ton of Fleur.
These materials and caves were all excavated by Fang Yun's engineering battalion during this period of starry night. Most of the people at this time had night blindness, and it was also a little far from the Han army camp, so they had no idea that in the middle of the night, when it was dark, a troop was digging here.
What they couldn't imagine even more was that Fang Yun's medical skills had another effect, that is, to quickly cure the night blindness of the soldiers!
Yes, now that he is fighting late at night, there is no way to stump the troops under Fang Yun's command, even if it is a dark night, the soldiers under his command can maintain a certain eyesight and fight the enemy. Interestingly, the other party is a group of night blindness, and in the dark they are a group of blind people, who can only be slaughtered by others!
This is Fang Yun's big hole card, even if they are talented, they don't know.
"Where did the lord collect these things, shouldn't this be forbidden to be sold by the Great Han?" Among the three hundred soldiers, one of the officers couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he looked at the boxes of Ah Furong.
"Some things are originally more popular the more forbidden they are, where did the lord get these things, but it's not something that our subordinates can discuss!" The officer next to him snorted coldly.
"Gong Du, you said that we joined General Fang from the front-line troops, is it right or wrong?" The officer next to him asked.
"Liu Yu, do you regret it?" Gong Du asked rhetorically.
"I just think we're a little stupid, we don't hug Qu Shuai's thighs, but go to a Yellow Turban General." Liu Yu shook his head and said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone.
"What is there to complain about, since you have chosen, then don't regret it, this is the first errand given to us by the main bus, don't mess it up!" Another officer next to him shouted in a low voice, but it was He Yi, a fellow villager of the two.
In the future, the three of them will be the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, which is the most powerful in the Runan and Yingchuan areas, but at this moment they are just the commanders of the 100-man team. However, since they took refuge in Fang Yun, the trajectory of their lives has also completely changed...... (To be continued......)
