The second objective reason why the Second Division could not use the vehicle formation tactics was the terrain problem, the terrain of Youzhou and Bingzhou was very different, and there were mostly plains on the side of Bingzhou, and a flat river could be tolerated by a huge large vehicle formation, and the large vehicle formation could be turned around no matter how big the vehicle formation was, and it was okay to go sideways if the huge car formation wanted to, and it was no problem to go vertically if the huge car formation wanted to.

However, there are many mountains in Youzhou, as we all know, the northern part of Beijing is full of lofty mountains, the majestic Yanshan Mountains run through them, and the Great Wall is built on steep and dangerous ridges. People who have been to Badaling know that the terrain here is majestic and precipitous, the peaks and peaks are stacked, and Badaling is the gateway to guard Juyongguan, from the Badaling Great Wall to the south entrance, in the middle is a 40-mile-long canyon, and the city "Juyongguan" is built in the canyon.

Such terrain is a nightmare for the team. Not to mention whether the carts pulled by donkeys and mules can cross the mountains, and even if they can, the chariot formation cannot be spread out in the mountains, and can only be carried out one after another, at most two or three side by side. What will happen to this kind of marching formation like a long snake formation if you encounter a sneak attack from the enemy on the way?

The end is certainly not good, and even if there are firearms to rely on, it may end up with heavy losses. If the formation is so thin that there is only one layer, then even if everyone has an AK47 in their hands, it may not be safe, not to mention that the Hong army is still using a Suifa pistol that can only shoot a few shots a minute.

In addition, it is dangerous to march between mountain paths, because there is almost everywhere the terrain conducive to ambushes, especially the terrain where there are high mountains on both sides and a narrow path in the middle, which is simply a special terrain for ambushes. In Youzhou, there are many such terrains and they are very long, as mentioned above, there are forty miles of canyon terrain after Badaling.

In this kind of terrain, if someone is lying in ambush on the mountains on either side, throwing a few stones down the mountain can kill people. Therefore, whenever the Hong army encountered this kind of terrain, it was carefully passed in sections, and countless scouts were sent to cooperate with hot air balloons to thoroughly reconnoiter the nearby mountains before daring to pass.

Although, those Hu people who grew up on horseback may not know how to use this sneak attack tactic, but they must not be guarded against. There is no shortage of smart people in every nation, and not having read a book does not mean that the brain is not good, if there are one or two wise people among the Xianbei people who think of such tactics, then the second division will not be able to eat and go around.

After negating the car formation tactics, there was silence in the conference hall for a while, and everyone was using their brains to think about what was the best way to defeat the Kebi Neng Division. There was silence in the conference hall, save for the wheezing of everyone and the occasional clatter of bowls and the sound of drinking water.

Fortunately, there was no tobacco in this era, otherwise, there would have been many puffs of light smoke rising in the conference hall. Staff Officer Bu Xian was looking through the materials summarizing the combat experience of the First Division, and from time to time he looked up at the military map hanging on the wall.

This step is none other than Bu Qi's second son. When Buqi was besieged by Liu Hou in Panyu City, he asked his two sons to escape from the city overnight with letters to Sun Quan, but the eldest son Buxi fled back to Eastern Wu, while the younger son Bu Xian was captured by Shu Han's pursuers.

Later, Buqi returned to Shu Han, and his son naturally obeyed his father's orders and stayed in the Hong army to serve. Now he is already a staff officer of the staff of the Second Division, and at his age, it is not low to achieve this rank.

Bu Yan looked at it, saw the section of the Xianbei people's fire attack on the first division at night, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, and then looked at the military map on the wall, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he was so excited that he slapped his big ~ leg and shouted: "Yes, yes, fire attack, fire attack!" ”

Everyone looked at him puzzled, and Guan Xing said, "Bu Yan, have you thought of any good ideas?" ”

Bu Yan saw that everyone was looking at him, his face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed, after all, he was still a young man, and his face was a little thin. He took a deep breath and settled down before he spoke: "Division commander, my subordinates just saw that the first division was attacked by the Xianbei people with fire on the grassland, and they thought of an idea, that is, to attack with fire as well. Xianbei people can attack with fire, and we can also attack with fire, don't you say?

It is now almost October (the tenth month of the lunar calendar is probably the November of the Gregorian calendar), and the grass on the grassland has begun to wither and yellow, which is suitable for fire attack. As long as we find the camp of the Xianbei people, and put a fire in the upwind direction of their camp, everyone thinks about what happened to the Xianbei people. ”

"It must have become a roasted pig, hehe" After listening to Bu Yan's words, everyone burst into laughter, and the nerves that had been tense for a few days were suddenly relaxed. As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that this strategy was feasible, and the Xianbei people were not like the Hong army, where there were strict fire prevention measures in the camp, and once the fire attack plan came out, they would be 100% hit.

After everyone laughed for a while, Bu Yan continued: "Everyone, please look at this map, the place where the Xianbei people are located is exactly between these two sections of the Great Wall. It is mountainous here, and it is blocked by the Great Wall, so it is difficult for them to move, as long as we block all the gates and gaps in the two sections of the city wall, it will be difficult for them to escape.

What do you think will happen if they are trapped in this small area, burned by the fires that are burning the plains? ”

"Haha, it's going to turn into an ant in a hot pot."

"It's going to turn into headless flies."

"Will it still be a roast pig, hahaha"

The crowd burst into laughter again and spoke one after another.

Bu Shen added: "The benefits of using this great fire strategy are not limited to these. ”

"Oh? Are there any other benefits? Guan Xing asked.

"And, of course, we can set fires everywhere in this small place, and even burn the vegetation of the whole land, and you think, where there are no roots of turf, what do their cattle and sheep eat? And what do they eat? Winter is coming, this is the season of food shortage, people are short of food, cattle and sheep are also short of forage, what do you say will happen at this time? ”

"Haha-hum" The crowd stirred up again, and then they talked about the strategy of starting out.

"Hehe, you kid is really insidious, where is this fire attack plan, this is simply a desperate plan. Even if the Xianbei people were not burned to death, they would starve to death all the cattle, sheep and horses because the pastures were burned down. Without cattle, sheep and horses, the Xianbei people have only a dead end, and it seems that they will not be able to survive this winter. The brigade commander scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, it's just a small skill of carving insects, the chief has won the award, the award." Bu Xian hugged his fists and smiled at the brigade commander.

"Okay, this strategy is good, I didn't expect your kid to really have two brushes, and they are almost comparable to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, let's formulate a combat plan according to this strategy." Guan Xing made a final decision on this strategy. After three days of discussion, he finally got this clever plan, and he was also very excited.

"Where, where, over the prize, over the prize." Bu Xuan continued to be modest, and then said: "There are several difficulties in implementing this strategy. First, we must defend all the gates and openings, and not let the Xianbei rout escape from this pocket. ”

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this, this is indeed the place that needs to be paid attention to, lit a fire, this plan is not a success, the Xianbei people run fast on horseback, if they escape, the results will be greatly reduced, only by completely blocking them in this pocket-like terrain, that can be regarded as a perfect implementation of this plan.
