The sky after rain is so clear; the air after rain is so fresh. But similarly, the ground after rain is so muddy.
As early as when Guan Yu set up a camp, in order to prevent enemy fire and his troops from accidentally rushing to the water, the weeds and dead grass near the battlefield had been cleaned up. There was no asphalt road covering the battlefield.
After the heavy rain, the mudiness of the battlefield was really small. This made Guan Yu feel very unhappy. The muddy ground was not conducive to the rapid assault of the cavalry.
However, when Guan Yu thought of Ma Chao's troops, his smile offset the unhappiness in Guan Yu's heart. No matter how slow the cavalry was, it was faster than that of such an army. The muddy ground was also their trouble.
Although Guan Yu has not shown up, Ma Chao led the team to attack Guan Yu's left and right camp twice in the past two days. Ma Chao and his troops' every move was under the close attention of Guan Yu. A large number of horse exploration, Wen Chou, and Huang Zhong
The subsequent report made Guan Yu feel as if he was present in person.
In these reports, Guan Yu was very interested in Pang De, who was capable of fighting against Wen Chou, and Ma Chao, who drew against Huang Zhong.
Guan Yu is very clear about Wen Chou’s kung fu, and Guan Yu is even more familiar with Huang Zhong’s kung fu. Although Huang Zhong has not won any victory in the inter-camp’s internal competition with Guan Yu and others in the past few years,
But Huang Zhong has never lost any results. Even if Guan Yu's third brother Zhang Fei came to the competition personally, Huang Zhong could still remain undefeated. Huang Zhong's martial arts can only be described as unfathomable. But this person is not
Zhang, the two young players from Xiliang who are not famous, can also be separated from Wen Chou. Huang Zhong has a draw, which definitely makes Guan Yu excited. There are so many talented people in the world.
However, in contrast, although Guan Yu was very interested in Ma Chao and Pang De, Guan Yu also had no interest in Ma Chao's proud elite troops. Guan Yu even felt a little contempt for Ma Chao's troops.
.
The reason is no different. Just because Ma Chao has the shape of the army, in the reports of the horses, it really looks like the shape of the classic formation recorded in Liu Ming's Military Academy - the former Gongsun Du's "Divine Turtle Ten Thousand Salutes Formation".
Although in the lesson plan of Liu Ming Military Academy, Gongsun Du's "Divine Turtle Ten Thousand Salutes Formation" was praised, and it was evaluated as: the best defensive formation for infantry against cavalry. As long as it occupies a suitable position, such as: between two mountains
The canyon or the defense in front of the city gate. The troops that set up this formation can completely resist the powerful attack of the cavalry. Defence under perfect conditions and the attack of the cavalry are just a blind suicide.
However, Liu Ming’s military academy also pointed out that slow marching speed and inflexible rotation are fatal injuries to such formations. Even if powerful attack weapons such as stone chariots are not used, as long as they have no terrain and no auxiliary support.
The military's auxiliary defense, their wings and rear formation, are their weak links. Even if they send thrust cavalry to surround them, they can only be a huge target.
Therefore, Guan Yu really looked down on such a defensive force that had no speed as an attack.
Relatively speaking, Guan Yu was more worried about Li Ru's crazy chariot. After all, that thing was not something that humans could resist. His troops were able to defend themselves so easily. He dug a trench to keep the chariots and how many pitfalls they came. However, if he was
When the troops attacked, Li Ru suddenly released the thing, which was really a troublesome thing. Especially Guan Yu had long known from the information that Li Ru was too dark, even if it was his own troops and Li Ru's troops.
When they were entangled, Li Ru released the chariot from behind and even killed them together. It was not new at all. Li Ru could definitely do such a thing. Li Ruke
It's really a headache.
Guan Yu closed his eyes slightly, dressed neatly and sat firmly in the tent, thinking about the changes in the battle situation and the way to respond. At the same time, he was also looking forward to Ma Chao's arrival.
Although Guan Yu was ordered by his elder brother Liu Ming to defend the war here, Guan Yu was not afraid of fighting with Li Ru and others.
The suspicious soldiers are just a strategy to reduce losses and maintain strength, and defense is the fundamental one. War is a reserve method when the strategy is not successful, and it is also the only way to make all people with ulterior motives afraid. This is also the same as Guan Yu has brought so many soldiers and horses
The significance of coming here to defend Bingzhou is. Guan Yu set up a camp at the foot of the mountain to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the cavalry if the strategy fails and he will force Li Ru and his coalition forces.
Maybe this little guy came back here to challenge today? I really hope he won't be scared by his suspicious plan. I really hope he will come. I should also move, and I will move. Guan Yu quietly looked forward to it.
"Report! Report to the general, there were troops and horses dispatched from the main camp of Tongguan. The direction of their advance was to run to the main camp of our central army. The troops and horses followed were endless. It is still impossible to estimate how many troops they dispatched.
”
Guan Yu smiled slightly, and they came. This time he should have revealed himself. However, Guan Yu was a little unhappy. It seemed that they did not fall into his own doubts, and this war might still be inevitable.
After this war, how many heroic soldiers will die in my army? I don’t know how many years will it drag my elder brother down to unify the world.
"Report! Report to the general. Tongguan soldiers and horses were divided into three groups. A total of about 250,000. The pioneer was the Ma Chao army two days ago. There were about 50,000 people. According to our camp, there were still seven miles away. The next one was the next.
They are Li Ru's troops, and Zhang Xun's troops. Each has a population of 100,000. Their troops are each following two miles away from Ma Chao's troops."
Guan Yu smiled from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that they had been trapped. Otherwise, they should have attacked with all their might, instead of just using some of the troops to test. This should be their last test.
OK, it can not only allow yourself to move, but also avoid the losses of war and successfully complete the tasks assigned by your elder brother. It's better. I really don't know who is like this among them and what I want.
Guan Yu smiled and sent an order: "Send an order! Order all the soldiers and horses of the left and right battalions are dispatched to form an encirclement of the troops in Tongguan. Be prepared to annihilate the enemy at any time!"
The meteor quickly passed Guan Yu's military orders out. Guan Yu also changed his habit of sending troops when he heard the challenge two days ago, and led the army to set up a formation early to wait for Ma Chao's arrival.
In fact, Guan Yu is not a waiting person. Guan Yu's own troops have to occupy two miles away from the camp. There is still three miles between the two armies. Ma Chao's troops are just going forward two miles and they will arrive. Therefore,
Guan Yu and Ma Chao's troops formed their own formations almost at the same time.
Guan Yu really saw Ma Chao's army this time. Guan Yu carefully looked at Ma Chao's army formation and Guan Yu felt more relieved. It was really the same as the horse's report, but their shields were bigger, but their spears were
It is a little shorter. Compared with the damage of the "Divine Turtle Ten Thousand Salutes Formation", their effect may be smaller.
Ma Chao felt a little strange about Guan Yu coming out before he could call. However, Ma Chao still explained, rode his horse out, came to the formation of the two armies and shouted: "Ma Mengqi, Xiliang, come and ask for advice!" Ma Chao
He shouted, but Ma Chao kept wandering around Guan Yu's troops with his eyes. He didn't pay attention two days ago, but today he must look closely.
But Ma Chao became more and more guilty as he looked at it. Don’t this army look fake. Can the dummy take those weapons? All of them are shining with cold light. The weight is absolutely not light. Moreover, the dummy can’t shake those weapons.
Guan Yu brought the reins to the formation and questioned Ma Chao: "I am the commander of the Western Army, Guan Yu, General Guan Yun. Two days ago, I was ordered by my elder brother, and I am the Han ministers.
In order to fight with the same family, I did not care about you. Why did you come here to provoke one after another? Are you bullied me and reluctant to annihilate you?"
When Ma Chao heard this, his heart trembled. I said, why don’t he chase him? The root of his feelings is here. Seeing Guan Yu speaks, he will wipe out him. He has so much confidence. The number of soldiers and horses of others is definitely not empty. Li
Ru, Li Ru. You guessed wrong this time. Hurry up and find an opportunity to beat the drum.
Although Ma Chao felt a little relieved, Ma Chao still said with a thorn in the moment: "I have long admired General Guan's reputation. I will never ask for advice when I see the master. I will definitely regret it for my life. I just want to ask General Guan for advice.
There is no other intention to tell me. Please don’t misunderstand me and make more contributions.”
This time Ma Chao made up his mind to retreat. Therefore, Ma Chao changed his words and his tone softened.
Although Guan Yu was amused by the excuse Ma Chao had found, the invasion of the territory was changed to a martial arts competition, and even a child could not deceive such lies. However, this was exactly what Guan Yu wanted. Isn’t it just pretending to be confused? No one on both sides has to tear each other?
It’s good to have a broken face, gesture, gesture. It’s easy to get along and disperse. Isn’t this quite good?
Guan Yu raised his eyebrow slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect General Ma is still a martial arts fanatic. He has a good match with my third brother. Since that's the case, everyone is here to visit. Some family
It’s not easy to refuse, so let’s use two tricks. Please!”
It was a big surprise that Ma Chao would say this to Guan Yu. In fact, Ma Chao himself felt that he was not very good at his excuses. He felt that this was unreasonable, but Guan Yu's words made Ma Chao feel relieved. His third brother Zhang Fei had the same temper.
