Chapter 196: The Attack of the Anti-Thieves in Hezhou
But breaking through the realm of Gangqi is not without tricks, Yan Xu found that the aura of this world is full of vitality, so he had an idea, based on the method of transporting qi and blood, and the innate true qi as a bridge, communicating the aura of heaven and earth into Gangqi, and being able to exert a strength far beyond his own realm.
This method is not without flaws, first of all, the process of communication and transformation takes a certain amount of time, and the consumption is too large, and it will cause certain damage to itself, so it cannot be used for a long time.
But it's good to use on the battlefield, after all, there is enough time to transform the gang qi before the war, and there is enough time to recuperate after the war, after all, it doesn't take too long for the fighting general to break the formation, and the war won't start again immediately after the war.
Yan Xu helped the three disciples communicate with the aura of heaven and earth in the outside world, mixed their own true qi to produce Gang qi, and then stimulated it with the method of qi and blood transport, after all, with their strength realm, it would be a dream to control it subtly, it is better to distribute it evenly throughout the body to reduce the pressure on the body, but I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains.
By the river, Guan Yu closed his eyes and held the knife, and suddenly his eyes opened, and the phantom of the emerald giant mantis appeared behind him, and his movements were completely synchronized with Guan Yu, and he swung a knife at the same time.
The cyan sword light flew out from the blade of the Qinglong Glaive, turning into a huge sword light that cut the surface of the river, and even the silt at the bottom of the river could be directly seen, and the river water that was cut off seemed to be solidified, and it took a long time before it began to flow again, which shows how amazing the power of Guan Yu's knife is.
Zhang Fei was not inferior, a one-horned giant bear appeared behind her, and she shouted, and a snake spear in her hand turned into a poisonous dragon drill, not only penetrating the river, but also drilling a hole at the bottom of the river.
The three of them are only a little worse than Liu Bei, after all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have already stepped on the threshold, and with Yan Xu's strength, they have naturally entered the realm of super-first-class generals, and their control ability naturally surpasses that of Liu Bei, who is still a first-class general.
But it doesn't matter much, after all, Liu Bei's identity is the lord, how can the lord take the lead in the battle, just stay quietly in the Chinese army and be a beautiful woman.
Just when Zhang Fei, whose strength had greatly increased, was eager to try and prepare to trouble that ugly man, a big battle broke out without warning, and the rebels of Tianpeng Mountain actually sent out an army, intending to annihilate all Huang Bo's imperial army and completely take Hezhou into the palm of his hand.
The anti-thieves of Tianpeng Mountain were divided into two armies, one was led by Zhu Laoba, the marshal of Tianpeng, to attack the waterway, and the other was mainly attacked by land by Wutongshen.
"It seems that the rebels in Tianpeng Mountain have split, otherwise they would not act like this, but it also gives us a chance to break through. In the big tent, Jian Yong sat on the seat, yawned, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he raised his head and said to Liu Bei without the slightest image, so he didn't care about appearance, no wonder this product is still single.
"That's right, but even if they are divided, the number is several times that of the imperial army, so you can't be careless. Liu Bei finished reading the information in his hand, nodded and said.
"Now Huang Bo's soldiers and generals have their own defense lines to defend, and there are not many troops that can be used, and only we and the Cao family's reinforcements can be flexibly mobilized, but I don't know what way to let us be responsible, the biggest possibility is land. Although Jian Yong's ability is not as good as that of a first-class strategist, the attributes are there, not to mention that the current situation is not so complicated, so he analyzed the situation to Liu Bei and said.
Jian Yong's analysis is still very reasonable, although Liu Bei's army has many warships, as well as water generals Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, but the main combat force is still the 3,000 heavy infantry, Huang Bo will not think about getting the 3,000 heavy infantry on the ship as long as he is not confused.
In the same way, the Cao family's 3,000 cavalry is the same, I have never heard of letting the cavalry fight in the water, if Huang Bo dares to propose to let Miss Cao's cavalry go on the boat for water battle, believe it or not, Miss Cao will be mad on the spot to show him.
Sure enough, as Jian Yong expected, the military order from Huang Bo ordered Liu Bei and Cao Chao to lead the army to guard the two flanks of the Chinese army and attack at any time.
Liu Bei received the order, and then began to prepare for the battle.
Ancient warfare was very cumbersome, and it took a day for a school student to organize a trip, not to mention tens of thousands of heavily armed troops.
A war often takes several hours to line up, and a day to fight, so before sending out troops, you need to give the soldiers a full meal, and at the same time prepare some dry food and drinking water to replenish their strength in case of war.
In the event of an unprepared battle, the soldiers will often be defeated due to hunger and lack of physical strength and reduced morale, so there is such a thing as not fighting unprepared battles.
Under Yan Xu's teaching, Liu Bei naturally did not ignore the importance of logistics, and Liu Bei's training was the first discipline, so the preparations for the battle were well organized and quite efficient, and he was the first to rush to the battlefield.
Liu Bei led the army to the left flank of the Chinese army, and the soldiers began to sit down and rest on the spot under the leadership of the team, and at the same time eat some dry food and water they carried with them to replenish their physical strength, and only in the distance can they see a little anti-thief figure.
Don't look at the distance between the two sides, but for the veterans, this distance is enough for them to eat and drink and have a good rest, the movement of tens of thousands of troops is not so simple, after all, the big battle is coming, it is impossible to put the army in a long snake formation, because this formation has no thickness, it is easy to be divided and encircled by the enemy, so the distance is almost the same as the formation has to change into a thicker phalanx, so as to better resist the impact of the enemy.
It is so easy for tens of thousands of people to move step by step, and it is not a leveled concrete floor, any situation may be encountered, and even on the way to the road, it is necessary to repair bridges and pave roads or even detours, which all depend on the adaptability of low-level officers, otherwise it is easy to cause chaos, in case the opponent seizes the opportunity to rush into battle, it is easy to lead to a big defeat.
However, there are enough people who oppose thieves, and the phalanx is thick enough, even if the lack of training leads to chaos, but Liu Bei does not dare to attack easily, she has these three or five thousand people in her hands, once she is surrounded by tens of thousands of people and cannot break through, it can easily lead to total annihilation, not to mention that even if she can break through, the loss will not be small, and when the time comes, it will be abolished.
"Why is there only the five-color flag of the Wutong God and not the flag of Tianpeng Mountain?" Zhang Fei, who experienced the war for the first time, was very excited, but she found something strange, so she asked curiously.
"This is a harbinger of the split of Tianpeng Mountain, it seems that Wutong God no longer intends to let Marshal Tianpeng continue to sit on his head, and the defeat of the state capital also gives them the capital and prestige to break away, I don't see that Zhu Laoba, as the leader of the alliance, can only take the partial army to take the waterway and involve part of the energy of the imperial army, and the main attack still relies on Wutong God. Liu Bei also saw this, and with a turn of his mind, he guessed that the rebels of Tianpeng Mountain were now not far from splitting, as long as the Wutongshen defeated the army of the imperial court again, then they would have enough prestige to drive Zhu Laoba out of power and stand on his own.
