On the third day of building camp, when the sun was first rising.
Suddenly the war drums beat, the sound was dull and short, like a burst of thunder, rolling over the camp, scaring away the sleepiness of countless people.
Is this the drumbeat of the gathering?
The veterans who have been in the army for a long time reacted immediately. After gathering the generals, it was time to order troops on the battlefield, and this kind of thing in the military camp only meant one thing.
The war is about to begin!
Today is likely to be the beginning of the siege!
For soldiers, fighting is a bounden duty and a common thing, but this common thing is a matter of life and death, and it also represents fame and wealth. Naturally, the soldiers cannot really be calm. They immediately started whispering to each other. Some people smiled happily and were happy to hear the battle.
, there are also people with sad faces and a look of reluctance.
All kinds of things happened in the world, and the whole camp suddenly broke into commotion. Seeing this, some uncles either whispered or roared and cursed, restraining these subordinates and forbidding any noise or movement.
As soon as the drums rest, all the people in the camp who are above the military level are present;
After the second drum rests, all the people from Dubo and above can reach the left and right sides of the camp;
After three drums, all the officers garrisoned outside the camp and by the river, including Duber and above, will arrive.
After three drums sounded, Wang Zheng was seated in the tent, his ancient sword was held beside him, and he was temporarily in charge of military law. His personal guards held their spears and guns, and lined up across from each other. They all had cold expressions and stood straight with their chests straight.
Jin Ge's murderous aura immediately filled him.
Wang Zheng gave a slight gesture to the ancient sword, and saw the young man shouting loudly: "Open the handsome tent!"
After ordering people to move, the guards on the left and right sides of the tent pulled up the covering tent at the same time. It was just as the sun was rising in the east, and the dazzling morning light shone in. The interior of the tent was shining dazzlingly, and it was completely white.
The commander's tent is very large and can accommodate dozens of people without any problem. The officers are divided into left and right groups according to their respective camps, and their ranks are arranged in ranks. Wang Zheng walks around, scans the whole place, and says: "Point to the general."
The names of dozens of people were quickly called, and not long after, Gu Jian was the first to come out and report back: "There are a total of fifteen officers above Du Bo in our army, and they are all here."
Ji Ling followed closely: "The thirty-two people on my side are also here."
Wang Zheng nodded, his face as calm as water, but he had an air of calmness and authority.
"Clear the place." He said calmly.
When discussing military aircraft, no one was allowed to stand within a hundred steps outside the tent. Gu Jian turned around and shouted loudly: "Clear the place!"
"Here!"
After a while, all the soldiers and guards inside and outside the tent retreated, and at a prescribed distance, they formed a circle around the commander's tent to protect him firmly.
"Ride with sentry."
After the sentry knight once again recounted the news he had said yesterday, a commotion immediately arose, mostly because he was surprised that Tangyi's military strength exceeded expectations.
When the sentry knight spoke, Wang Zheng waved his hand and ordered him to retreat. Then he walked to the back wall, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Guangling is on guard. If our army wants to take action, it should be sooner rather than later!"
He informed the generals directly of the news today, deliberately so as not to give Ji Ling and others a chance to think. When he only had his own men, Wang Zheng didn't mind brainstorming, but now the army is divided into camps. In order to achieve efficiency,
Instead, he wanted to act arbitrarily.
After a brief glance, he waved his sword and pointed to the south of the map, saying: "This is Tangyi."
Then he went eastward and continued, "Twenty miles east of Tangyi, here is Liuhe Mountain. According to the reports from the sentries, it seems that there is an ambush, and the number is unknown."
Then he turned to the southwest from Liuhe Mountain and followed a river mark all the way down. He stopped at a place with a tent pattern and said: "Thirty miles southwest of Liuhe Mountain; forty miles away from Tangyi, is where our army is." Location."
Hanging the divine sword on his waist again, Wang Zheng turned around, stared left and right, and asked: "Guangling County is now divided into two areas, forming horns with each other. If our army attacks the city, Liuhe Mountain will come to support us. If we attack Liuhe Mountain first, then what will happen next?" The mountainous terrain is difficult and difficult to defend, and we don't know how many troops the enemy has ambushed. At the same time, Tangyi may also attack from behind."
"Everyone." He slowly sat down and said, "If you have a good idea, you can speak freely."
In fact, technically speaking, the mutual horns tactic is only a tactic used in small-scale battles. The strength of the offensive and defensive sides should not be too disparate, and the logistics and supplies should not be too different, not to mention the generals' kung fu and intelligence.
However, this most basic strategy can sometimes only be dealt with by using the advantages of sheer force and coordination. First, defeat them one by one, so that the enemy cannot take care of both ends. Once one of them is defeated, the enemy will lose its momentum.
The question Wang Zheng asked was simply that if he wanted to defeat each one, he would naturally have to divide his troops into two areas. So who would attack Liuhe and who would attack Tangyi?
When his eyes fell on Ji Ling, he touched his chin and said with a smile: "On the battlefield, we will eventually fight with real swords and guns. From my point of view, since the Guangling County troops are divided into two groups, we must either fight first Try your best to win Liuhe first and solve your worries, or..."
"What else?" Wang Zheng asked, "Fu Yi just said it bluntly."
"Or, we can divide our troops into two groups and attack two places at the same time."
"Divide the troops?" Hearing this, Yan Xiang hesitated and said: "According to what the sentry cavalry said, we don't have a big advantage in terms of military strength. We have a lot of troops and are surrounded by ten. The enemies are all in Liuhe Mountain and Tangyi." The defenders have an advantageous location, but if they divide their forces, will they encounter obstacles in both places?"
"Mr. Yan is worrying too much." Ji Ling chuckled and said: "Two armies are facing each other. How can the strength only depend on the number of people?"
"It was less than a year after the defeat of Xuzhou, and as Ju Mou knew, because of Cao Cao's previous massacre and surrender, there were not even one out of ten truly capable soldiers in the state." He glanced at Yan Xiang and said without caring. : "At this time, we gathered together some troops. It seems that there are many people, but in fact, most of them are new soldiers, right?"
"Not of much use!"
"So, don't say there are a lot of them. Even if they are more numerous than us, why should we be afraid?"
Hearing this, both Wang Zheng and Yan Xiang were silent. After a while, Wang Zheng nodded: "If we divide the troops, then I will lead one group, and Lieutenant Ji Jun will lead another group. It is not unreasonable."
"So, Captain Ji." He looked at Ji Ling and asked, "Where do you want to attack?"
Wang Zheng had good intentions on this issue. In his opinion, if he attacked Liuhe Mountain, he would have to attack it from bottom to top, which would naturally be quite difficult. However, Tangyi, which seemed easier to attack, always made him think of Zhang Fei inexplicably. If it is true, it will be a harder bone.
But after all, it's just a guess and it's hard to explain, so I simply leave the choice to Yuan Jun himself.
It seemed like a casual question, but it was of great importance. Ji Ling also looked solemn, pondered for a long time, then subconsciously looked at the map, then at Yan Xiang, and then said: "Ling is willing to be the vanguard and take down for the general." Tangyi!"
Although they are each other's horns, there are still priorities after all. Ji Ling made this choice not because of the apparent difficulty of conquering the two, but because conquering Tangyi is the real great achievement.
"In that case." Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Then I will go and get Liuhe."
Although the troops were divided into two groups, since it was an attack on the city, the mobilization of food, grass and equipment was quite trivial. In the end, Wang Zheng asked Ji Ling to go ahead and go to Liuhe Mountain later.
Shortly after nightfall, a sentry rider came back with a military report. At this time, Ji Ling had already pushed into Tangyi twenty miles away and had set up camp.
After taking a look at the military situation, Wang Zheng thought for a while and directly ordered the Heavenly Army to rest on the spot, prepare food at the third watch, and set off at the fifth watch.
At midnight, in the deep night sky, the clouds were changing. Wang Zheng walked out of his tent, climbed up and looked into the distance. In the darkness, there were faint firelights in Tangyi and Liuhe, illuminating some vague outlines, standing in the vast wilderness.
Soon, both sides will engage in a desperate confrontation.
Brother Fuyi, you have to be more careful.
Wang Zheng thought leisurely that people are not like grass and trees. Regardless of whether this closeness was intentional or not, and what the reason was, Ji Ling had always been kind to him since he entered Yangzhou.
Wang Zheng's time travel changed many historical trends. For example, in the second year of Xingping, when Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, Liu Bei went to the front line to meet the enemy, leaving Zhang Fei to guard Xiapi.
Now, it is Guan Yu who guards Xia Pi and Zhang Fei who controls Guang Ling.
Gu Ying
But there are always some trajectories in history that are stubborn and cannot be changed. Many times, people call it "destiny."
For example, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Ji Ling met his nemesis again.
Wang Zheng, a novice in history, naturally didn't know that in the original history, his sworn brother Fu died at the hands of a certain Yan person.
(Yuan Shu led his army to surrender to Yuan Shao. Ji Ling, the vanguard, had arrived in Xuzhou. Xuande led his army to meet him. Zhang Fei rushed out first and attacked Ji Ling. They fought without a fight. Zhang Fei gave a loud shout and stabbed Ji Ling under his horse.
The defeated army runs away.)
.....
Sometimes the outbreak of war is always unexpected, and the form is completely different.
Wang Zheng never expected that when his troops were still ten miles away from Liuhe Mountain, they would encounter a group of troops coming to intercept them.
There were not many people, about a thousand, but they were all cavalry.
It’s interesting. I have always used less to fight against others. This is the first time that I have fought so richly.
"The surrounding terrain is wide and open, which is suitable for cavalry. General, the enemy's intention is very clear. First use a small number of elite troops to test the front of our army. If the enemy is weak, it will block our army's advance. If the enemy is strong, it will continue to harass us along the way."
Looking at the enemies arrayed in front with Wang Zheng, Gu Jian suggested: "This group of cavalry must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a big trouble."
"How did the news leak?" At this time, Wang Zheng, who was riding a horse, looked ahead in the distance, and the first thing that came to his mind was this question.
The enemy has arranged sentinels to spy around my camp!
The key is that no one noticed it for so long!
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng was secretly angry at the incompetence of his sentries, and his eyes could not help but turn cold.
"It's quite a beautiful thought." Wang Zheng snorted coldly: "This is because our army has been rushing all night, marching all the way until now, and suddenly attacked in the early morning, the soldiers' mental and physical strength were greatly exhausted, plus the rush
If they fight against each other, they may not be their opponents?"
It's a pity that my heavenly army is not as fragile as you think!
Wang Zheng was calm and composed, saying: "Our army's light cavalry is divided into five hundred people, focusing on patrolling our army's left, right and rear."
"Left, right?" Gu Jian was startled. A large group of cavalry was in front. At this time, he divided his own cavalry?
"There are only a thousand people, so there is nothing to worry about." Looking ahead, Wang Zheng said: "But if there are ambushes on the side, it will be troublesome to make a sneak attack during the battle."
"You have to be careful and careful, the best thing is to be careful."
"As for this group of cavalry?" Wang Zheng smiled solemnly, looked around, and suddenly shouted: "Where is the adjutant of Tianzhu Camp?"
A proud military man stepped out, it was Wu Sheng's adjutant, and loudly promised: "The general will be here!"
"Since the general's uprising, Laier and others have been brave and brave. They have always defeated more with less and have never been defeated." Pointing to the front, "As a result, without fighting for several months, some people seem to have forgotten the power of our heavenly army. In Xuzhou,
If this is the case, let alone everyone in the world?"
"There are four thousand men here, but the enemy dares to send only a thousand men to intercept them." Wang Zheng stared at the adjutant and said word by word: "This is looking down on me, and it is even more contemptuous of you."
"What can I do?"
"Kill!" the adjutant roared: "The Tianzhu camp will kill all the invading enemies, and no one will escape!"
"Okay!" Wang Zheng nodded: "This is what you, the leader of Tianzhu Camp, said!"
"But the sky is still dark, so some omissions are inevitable. Let's put it this way." Wang Zheng said with a smile: "If you behead more than five hundred people, I will record your merits as a whole camp. If you behead more than four hundred, you will have merit; if you behead more than four hundred, you will have no merit."
"If the number of beheadings is less than three hundred..." Wang Zheng said solemnly: "You can come to see me with your head raised."
"Here!"
The adjutant took the order and left.
...
"The remaining cavalry of the Tianzhu Battalion charge forward and serve as the first line of defense."
"The rest of the infantry are arrayed in front, and the Qingzhou infantry and archers are arrayed on the left and right to serve as the second line of defense."
"The rest of the heavenly army formed in three stacks, with long weapons in the middle, swordsmen and axes in the second, and short soldiers in the back." Wang Zheng made good arrangements, and the orders were passed down one after another, and the whole army quickly set up camp and formed their formations.
From the first moment he decided to attack Guangling, because of that inexplicable dream, Wang Zheng was very afraid of Liu Bei, whom he had not yet met, and he was always more cautious. On this night march, he was also prepared in advance to guard against the Guangling army's surprise attack.
First of all, the marching order of each branch of the army is based on the three-fold formation; secondly, the heavy vehicles of the accompanying army are on both wings, in the forward position. Everything is done in advance, and failure in advance is ruined. In addition, many of the four thousand men and horses have joined the system team.
It was as easy to direct as one's arms, but now it's surprisingly quick and easy to arrange.
The front team was stationed, and the heavy vehicles were advanced; there was a constant flow of soldiers, the veterans acted as if nothing had happened, and the new soldiers looked hesitant. Under the suppression and scolding of the officers, they were still in good order.
Countless flags moved forward slowly and continuously, and among the crowds of soldiers forming their formations, Wang Zheng mounted his horse on the high ground and looked at the terrain on the left and right.
In the darkness, he could still clearly see the distance directly in front of him. Most of the cavalry were wearing red light helmets and light armor, and they looked like a large ball of flowing flames in the darkness, filling the sky.
The horses neighed and smoke billowed as they stepped on the ground.
It seems that the future Emperor Zhaolie is quite innocent at heart.
Wang Zheng calmed down and directly ordered the soldiers: "Raise the flag and follow me!"
Then he galloped down the horse and waved the flag with the word "王" in the night, making everyone gather to see the flag.
Wang Zheng galloped in front of the formation, raised his voice, raised his arms and shouted:
"Since the uprising, our heavenly army has galloped across two states, marched across six counties, conquered the towering mountains of Mount Tai, and attacked the great pass of Pengcheng. Have we ever experienced a single defeat?"
"Never!"
"Never!"
"Never!"
The whole army shouted loudly, the mountains rang and the valleys responded, and the enthusiasm was so high that it seemed to burn the night.
"Then today will be no exception!" With a sonorous cry, after a few months, the victorious man once again jumped out of his sheath!
Clang Clang Clang Clang!
The sound of countless swords being unsheathed was continuous, one after another, echoing through the front of the formation.
"Kill!" Wang Zheng shouted, raised his horse and whip, and took the lead in charging.
"Kill!" Gu Jian, the adjutant and others chased after him.
"kill!"
The remaining more than 500 second-order light cavalry, as well as the infantry of the Tianzhu Battalion, followed the commander's flag with murderous intent. Flames shot into the sky, bypassing the friendly troops in formation, and turned into a deep black torrent.
