When tens of thousands of young people on Taiping Road traveled westward.

When Huangfu Song's face was full of nervousness, he began to clear the wilderness.

When the army of the Western Regions in Hebei, under the leadership of Luo Chuan, began to cross the river in full assembly.

When Luo Chuan led the princes of the family, and the heroes of the counties joined Luo Kong.

When Yuan Shao learned that Luo Xiao was not an enemy of him, but wanted to stick to the city and laugh wildly.

When Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan looked at each other, they turned to prepare equipment and turned to attack the city.

When Zhao Gong was meditating in Zhaocheng, thinking about how to deal with Luo Xiao's identity.

Luo Xiao, who has been constantly calculating and deducing in Xingyang, moved.

From among the elite of the Taiping Army, he carefully selected a group of soldiers who could endure hard fighting, had abundant physical strength, had high skills and tactics, and most importantly, had a stable will and did not panic.

Millions of Taiping Daoists, soldiers who meet his requirements, but thousands, and he selected some slightly worse ones, a total of 10,000 people.

Out of Xingyang, to the east!

……

Luo Xiao's march is quite orderly, the mountains and rivers are in his heart, the army is camped, the army is clean, and the military discipline is easy, his biggest requirement is to be quiet during the march.

There are twelve Qu Shuai who travel with him, although there are no long-term leaders among these Qu Shuai, many of them are still qualified as fierce generals, and there are a few of them, Luo Xiao also feels that the qualifications are not bad.

For example, Qu Shuai Guan Hai is the first fierce general in the Taiping Dao, born with divine power, and is the only fierce general in the Taiping Dao who can withstand Luo Xiao's full strength and shoot more than ten moves, Luo Xiao concluded that he can also be regarded as a brave general in this turbulent world.

Another example is Chu Feiyan, who was born in Qingzhou, and later changed his name to Zhang Yan, which is a rare general in the Taiping Army who has a very good talent for commanding troops, and is now a general of Luo Xiao.

There are also several well-qualified Qu Shuai who are fighting in Jingzhou.

Luo Xiao only brought 10,000 troops with him on this expedition, which is a very small number.

Whether the number of soldiers is important or the degree of elite is important has always been the focus of debate, Luo Xiao feels that it is very unnecessary, it is naturally the number of elites that is important.

This is a matter with no fixed answer, the confrontation between the two armies in the Central Plains is a meat grinder-level war, and it naturally requires that the number of troops must be sufficient, otherwise it will be directly empty.

If Luo Xiao is preparing to attack by surprise like Luo Xiao now, then it is natural to reduce the size of the army, otherwise the risk of being discovered will be greatly increased, which is not conducive to combat.

Luo Xiao looked up at the surrounding hills and highlands, constantly corresponding, and when he reached a key point, he stopped.

"This is it."

Luo Xiao turned to look at the crowd and swept his eyes one by one, he wanted to choose the most patient person to complete this task, according to the understanding of everyone in his mind, Luo Xiao chose a canal handsome, who was Guan Hai with a very high force value.

Being selected by Luo Xiao, Guan Hai was very excited, and patted his chest and promised: "Dao Master, Hai guarantees that your plan will be executed perfectly." ”

Guan Hai led two thousand soldiers, which was the limit of Luo Xiao's calculations, and laid an ambush here.

According to Luo Xiao's request, those dirt and green leaves were sprinkled directly on them, covering up the breath of people, which is one of the yin and yang of soldiers, and is called Qimen Escape Law by the people.

From a distance, even if you look at it deliberately, it is not easy to find.

Luo Xiao checked it a few more times and confirmed that it was perfect, so he led the remaining eight thousand troops, slowly removed the traces of coming, turned around the valley, and left two more ambushes, each with one or two thousand people, and he took the remaining five thousand people to rest, quietly waiting for the appearance of the prey.

Qu Shuai was excited in his heart, and asked Luo Xiao, who was standing looking at the sky, and said, "Dao Master, will the Han army be so stupid?"

Passing without inspection at such a venue? ”

Luo Xiao retracted his gaze from the sky, turned around and laughed softly: "Sometimes don't think too smart about the enemy.

The most useful tactics are often the simplest and crudest methods.

Before they get here, the sky will gradually gather clouds, they are worried about the rain, the best place to camp is five miles out of the valley, so they must pass as soon as possible, there is no time to come, no one will go to check. ”

I see, is this the legendary soldier yin and yang?

He really deserves to be an omnipotent Taoist.

……

The white horse passes through the gap, and the time flows by bit by bit.

With the unmistakable sound of people and horses' hooves, the valley, which was not very high, or rather the floor of the hills, suddenly became noisy.

If you stand on the top of the mountain and look into the distance, you can see countless banners waving under the gust of breeze, there are the sun and moon mountains and rivers on the banner, there are the holy spirits of the beasts, the specifications are extremely high, when the first army, there is the word "Cao" printed on it, and there is a flag on the word "Han".

It was Cao Cao's vanguard army.

Gongsun Zhan, who was also a pioneer, was worried that Yuan Shao would trap himself as the leader of the alliance and was unwilling to march with Yuan Shao's army, so he led the cavalry to march from a flatter place on the right side and break away from the army.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, performed the duties of the vanguard to the letter, building bridges across rivers and opening roads in mountains to remove obstacles for the march of the army.

However, Cao Cao was a little helpless in his heart, he rode on a horse and said to the clan brothers as he walked: "My army is pressing, and the Taiping army, which is going west with the main force, will definitely not be able to hold out, and I don't know how many casualties will be killed or injured in the siege, which is really infuriating." ”

Between the march of the army, he saw the lush greenery on the mountain on the road that must be passed, and the rocks were overgrown, Cao Cao stepped forward to watch, his military ability was very good, and he felt that this place was a good place to ambush.

If he leads the troops, even if the troops are insufficient, he must ambush an army here, after all, the benefits must be great.

Suddenly, a bird rose from the tree, and then several more birds flew up from it, circled a few times, and then landed on a branch or on a boulder.

There are birds in the woods!

According to experience, Cao Cao's heart was relieved, thinking that the main force of the Taiping army was going west, and in the face of the pressure of our army, it was still difficult to defend the city, how could ordinary generals be bold and careful enough to dare to divide troops to ambush?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately prepared to pretend to be a wave, as a leader, he must show his wisdom and strategy from time to time, so that his subordinates will never dare to be tempted.

I saw Cao Cao suddenly laugh wildly, and everyone was a little strange when he looked at the small valley, so he asked directly, "Why is my brother laughing?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and pointed to the valley and said: "I laugh at the peace and no strategy, Zhang Jiao is less wise, this is one of the ways to Xingyang."

If I were Zhang Jiao, I would have ordered the Taiping army to ambush an army here, and when our army entered, and suddenly attacked, our army would be chaotic and suffer heavy casualties.

It's a pity that there are no scheming and less wise, how can they understand the mysteries? ”

After speaking, Cao Cao looked up at the sky, knowing that he couldn't delay any longer, and said to a general beside him: "Captain, you go back and report the situation here in Benchugong, I will enter it first for Benchu to open the road, and the army will follow later." ”

After speaking, he ordered the army to pass, although there was a stone forest along the way, but as Cao Cao expected, it was safe and steady, and it was out of this valley road all the way, and there was no change.

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing again, it was not just that there was no ambush, but that he confirmed that the Taiping generals who stayed behind were indeed very average in terms of military ability.

In the Taiping Army, only the thief has a little magic ability, and the rest are useless.

Yuan Shaojunzhong, when he received the news from Cao Cao, couldn't help laughing.

He said to the rest of the princes: "I met Meng De when I was a teenager, and at that time he was fond of military affairs, and he liked to comment on the famous generals of the past dynasties, and he would say that if he was a general, what would happen.

I didn't expect that I hadn't seen it for many years, but it was still like this.

It's not too early, withdraw the rear scouts, put them in front, and pass here as soon as possible, only a few miles ahead is a suitable place to camp and settle down. ”

Let all the men go down and lead their armies through.

It is said that it is as soon as possible, but the difficulty of the army's action is not comparable to Cao Cao's people, with the number of Yuan Shao's coalition army, it will take a long time just to pass the order from Yuan Shao to the bottom, but fortunately, the formation is still neat now, and the speed of the army is still significantly accelerated when he hears that he can rest for a few miles ahead.

Cao Cao laughed wildly in the valley, who could not hear it?

Especially Guan Hai, who was ambushed in the first paragraph, thought that he was going to be discovered, until Cao Cao walked straight into the ambush circle, he knew that Cao Cao was purely in Meng.

Thinking of the Dao Master's order, Guan Hai didn't make any moves, and let Cao Cao leave directly.

The news of Cao Cao's passage soon reached the Yuan Shao coalition army, which had already begun to pass, and hearing that the vanguard army had begun to rush to the camp, Yuan Shao again ordered to speed up.

There are more than 10,000 people, and the heavens and the earth are connected.

There are more than 100,000 people, and the sky and the earth are the same.

Yuan Shao's allied army was far more than 100,000, and all the princes marched with the elite of their own headquarters to command the army, and the fatal shortcomings were manifested in this.

When Yuan Shao's Chinese army entered the valley, Guan Hai understood that the big fish he was waiting for had finally arrived!

He resolutely raised his bow, completely filled the huge bow that was designed to match his innate divine power, and the thick arrow pierced through it, and then like a meteorite, it headed heavily towards the coalition army.

"Kill!"

The moment the arrow was fired, a roar like a tiger's roar instantly resounded throughout the valley.

The huge sharp arrow was nailed heavily to the side of the Great Sword, nailing a soldier to the ground heavily, and the tail of the arrow trembled and buzzed loudly.

Yuan Shao was momentarily stunned in this sudden enemy attack, his brain was still in a tailwind situation now, and he didn't switch over.

Cao Cao just passed by here, and he watched him pass by with his own eyes, how could there be an ambush?

It's the first thought on everyone's mind!

The target of the thief army is Yuan Shao!

This is the second thought in everyone's mind, and this is the only explanation, the goal of the Taiping Army is Yuan Shao, who is the leader of the alliance, so Cao Cao will be let go.

Yuan Shao also thought of this, and came back to his senses and cursed secretly, "Cao Mengde, you crow's mouth." ”

Then I looked up and saw that the army had begun to disorganize in the midst of the sudden attack.

In particular, the peasants' baggage and auxiliaries were like headless flies, hiding from non-existent enemies, always feeling like they were going to be killed in the next moment.

From the moment Yuan Shao's Chinese army began to enter the valley, Luo Xiao knew that it was time.

He wears extremely fine armor, protects his whole body, and even wears the mask neatly, as high as 97 force, which brings him extremely abundant physical strength, can fight with armor for a long time, can wear thicker and more armor, and the war horse under the crotch is also a carefully selected horse king level.

This level of armor is not much in the entire Taiping Army, especially the protective armor, there are very few.

Behind him were the five most elite Taiping troops, all cavalry, all armored, with the background of the Taiping Dao, naturally there is no these, but Xingyang has, once the Han court is broken through the county rule, the rebels will grow rapidly, this is the reason.

"Stop the waist and cut off, bomb the camp on the left and right, trample on the front and back!"

These fifteen words are Luo Xiao's goal.

Yuan Shao has 200,000 people, and Luo Xiao has 10,000 people, but is it difficult?

It's like digging into a bag!

Five thousand armored horsemen were like a torrent of steel, around the corner, the horse's hooves wrapped in cloth, the mouth was in the mouth, galloping all the way, suddenly appeared on the side of the army, the army on the way, felt some shock before, but there were too many troops, they all thought that it was caused by their own march.

Out of 200,000 people, who cares about the sound caused by thousands?

There is no formation!

No armor piercing!

Facing the steeply approaching armored horse, almost a cow or sheep waiting to be slaughtered, Luo Xiao roared loudly: "Thousands of people rushed into battle, beheaded and captured the flag!" ”

The crowd roared, and then the five thousand armor cavalry instantly separated, in this situation, the impact caused by the one thousand armor cavalry and the five thousand armor cavalry was the same.

200,000 pigs can't be caught or killed, but 200,000 people can, because people are smarter than pigs!

Rumble!

Almost in an instant, a prince who came up in a hurry was Liang Guoxiang, and he was directly rushed over, whether it was Liang Guoxiang or the elite under his command, like dumplings, they fell off their horses one after another, blood flowed, turned into pulp, and died on the spot.

This time it was really blown up, these princes were not subordinate to each other, and only obeyed the orders of the alliance leader Yuan Shao, and now that Liang Guoxiang is dead, no one under his command can command him at all, he is a group of farmers, where do they dare to confront the armor cavalry that pierces armor like a murderous demon king, and immediately scatters and flees.

There was chaos in the field, and the clouds in the sky were a little thicker, and although they were not dark clouds, they had no problem blocking the sun's dazzling light.

Zhang Yan took two armored cavalry to drive away the chaotic soldiers outside the valley to expand the results, the Taiping army rushed out of the valley, and the Chinese army that had been cut off was now at the stage of bombing the camp left and right.

Luo Xiao set his sights on the valley, and Yuan Shao was inside!

He was going to meet this handsome man in the world who was below the Lhotse River to see if he was qualified to use the title.

The two teams of thousand-man armored cavalry rushed all the way to meet Luo Xiao, each with blood dripping from their bodies, and they had never killed so freely, and their morale was high.

The three thousand armor cavalry marched in unison, and under the leadership of Luo Xiao, they rushed all the way to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao looked at this scene, and never imagined that this would be a peasant army, which was even more elite than the elite of the Han army!

————

In the battle of Xingyang, the corner saw the heroes, Shao, Cao, Zhan, Bei, etc. were all in it, and when they saw the exercise, they said left and right: "There are military skills and Taoist skills." ”

Everyone was surprised and said, "What's the trick?" ”

Jiao Sui smiled and said: "Every time you lose your smile, your words will be true, and you can't say anything, isn't it Taoism?" ”

After years of meditation, all of them are in the middle, and there is no skill in this exercise. ——"The New Language of the World: The Later Han"
