The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Early the next morning, not long after dawn, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian heard the sound of drums beating from Dong Ying.

When Xun Zhen was in his own camp, he rushed out of the tent, ordered people to prepare horses, guarded by Dian Wei and others, and went to Sun Jian's camp to meet Sun Jian.

"Zhenzhi, did you hear the drums too?"

Sun Jian was not in the tent, but had already climbed up the watchtower and looked at Dong Ying in the distance from upstairs.

The watchtower in Sun Jian's camp is very high, standing on the top of the building, although it is too far away, you can't see the specific movement inside and outside Dongying, but you can see it roughly."

Xun Zhen stood beside him, looking into the distance.

Today's weather is good, it's a sunny day, the sky is cloudless, the morning light is scattered, the mountains and forests near and far, Xiongguan are bathed in it, the mountains are lush, the military flag flutters, the wind is cool as water, you can smell the air of the mountains, and you can hear the sound of birds chirping from time to time. The first red sun on the east side was supposed to be a bright autumn dynasty, which opened people’s horizons and refreshed their hearts. However, when looking upstairs at this time, they saw Lv Bu, Xu Rongying, and Taigu Pass in the north of Taigu Pass. Huanggai and Sun Ben camps to the west and Huzhen camp to the west. At this time, smoke and dust can be seen in the camp.

Xun Zhen said, "Dong Bing moved very fast."

Although Xun Zhen had guessed from Dong Jun's "frequent spy on Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp" yesterday, Dong Jun might have to attack Huang Gai and Sun Ben first, but he did not expect that the two Dong troops had just converged outside the pass yesterday. There's going to be a war today.

Fortunately, Xun Zhen discovered Dong Jun's intention in time yesterday. After a night of preparations, he and Sun Jian had already made arrangements.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "It's very dangerous! If it wasn't for the fact that I and Wentai were prepared last night, I heard Dong Bing's drums this morning, I can't tell, I will be in a hurry." While thinking, he turned his eyes to Lu Xu and Hu. Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp between the two camps of Zhen, seeing Huang and Sun's camp in the camp, is also hidden in the smoke and dust at the moment, and if they listen carefully, they can also hear the sound of drums coming from the two camps.

Huang Gai and Sun Ben were trapped in the two camps of Lu Xu and Hu Zhen. Last night, Sun Jian had sent someone to remind them that Dong Bing might attack them first. Be more cautious. Last night, they all waited for the night, so they responded very quickly. As soon as they heard the sound of Dong Ying's drums this morning, Huang Gai and Sun Ben immediately mobilized their soldiers to strengthen their defense and prepare for battle.

Sun Jian watched intently, and after watching for a long time, Gu said to Xunzhen, "Although I can't see clearly, Gongfu and Boyang should be ready to fight."

As soon as Sun Jian finished speaking, he saw a cavalry rushing out from the camp of Lu Bu and Xu Rong. From the smoke and dust trampled by this cavalry, it was estimated that the number of cavalry should be more than five or six hundred.

Seeing that Dong's soldiers, who had been sent to the camp, were forming a line outside the camp, and then went straight to Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp, Xun Zhen guessed and said: "Lü Bu is in battle, and whenever he attacks, he must first send Gao Shun's 'trapping camp'. This Dong soldiers may be Gao Shun's army."

Yuanjian's Dong Bing did not attack immediately after arriving outside the camps of Huang Gai and Sun Ben, but stopped a little further away. First, they gathered together and formed a triangular formation with an offensive posture. Riding into the battle, they circled around Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp facing Lu Xuying's side, that is, the northeast periphery, and then returned to the formation.

Sun Jian said, "It's no wonder that Gao Shun claims to be invincible. He is not only brave, but also delicate."

Needless to say, the dozens of cavalry Dong soldiers who had just entered the battle must have gone to inspect the defenses of Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp at close range to see if there were any weaknesses.

Sure enough, after the dozens of cavalry returned to the formation, the Dong soldiers with hundreds of cavalry slowly adjusted the attack formation and slightly changed the direction of the attack. The changed direction should be the position of the dozens of cavalry. A relatively weak defense was found.

During this process, Xu Rong and Lü Bu galloped out many soldiers and horses in an endless stream.

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian stared at him.

Sun Jian had fought with Lü Bu for a long time. Although they were far away from each other, they could not see the flags at the front of these Dong soldiers who later left the camp, but each general led his troops with their own characteristics, such as the formation they used to use, etc. From these characteristics alone, Sun Jian judged: "The first are Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers, and the latter must be Xu Rong's Liangzhou soldiers."

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "So, the Dong soldiers who were the first to leave the camp seems to be the camp of Gao Shun's trap."

Hu Zhen's camp was also open at this time, and the troops came out of the camp.

Assuming that half of the battalions of Hu Zhen and Xu Lu are used to attack Huang Gai and Sun Ben, and Xun Zhen and Sun Jian are watching, it is obviously impossible for the two battalions to go out in full force to protect themselves. There are already quite a lot of troops, the two battalions combined, there are more than 10,000 people, and more than 10,000 elite soldiers are used to attack Huang Gai and Sun Ben. In the opinion of Hu Zhen and others, it may be enough, but even if the two battalions each have one With half of the men and horses out, it will take a lot of time for the more than 10,000 cavalry to form a formation and set up an offensive posture.

Taking advantage of the empty time when the two Dong soldiers were leaving their camps, Xun Zhen said to Sun Jian, "Wentai, since the Dong soldiers have already left, looking at the situation, there is no doubt that they will attack Huang Gai and Sun Ben, so you and I should prepare. "

what to prepare? Of course, they were preparing to wait for the two sides to start fighting. When the war was in full swing and it was impossible to get to grips with each other, they sent troops to attack Hu Zhen's base camp.

Sun Jian replied, "Okay!"

The two of them handed down their own military orders, ordering the elites who had been selected last night to assemble and prepare for battle.

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian each selected two troops last night, one was to attack Hu Zhen's base camp, and the other was prepared to be sent out when Huang Gai and Sun Ben were in a tight situation, pretending to be the main force. , to help Huang Gai and Sun Ben.

At this moment, a small gate opened to the west of the camp of Huang Gai and Sun Ben, and about a hundred or two hundred horsemen came out of the gate and rushed towards Hu Zhen's position.

Xun Zhen praised: "Wentai, it is no wonder that Qing is not afraid of Dong's soldiers attacking Huang Gai and Sun Ben. Huang and Sun are both wise and brave."

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian's strategic policy had been clearly explained to Huang Gai and Sun Ben last night, and they had clearly stated to them: If Dong Bing attacked your battalion first, then the two of us would not immediately rush to help. Not only will you not rush to help you immediately, but you must also stand up to Dong Bing's attack, because my plan is to wait until Dong Bing is entangled by you, and I will find the elites and go straight to Hu Zhen's camp. , take the opportunity to annihilate Hu Zhen first.

In other words, Huang Gai and Sun Ben should have a good idea by now, knowing that after the war, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian will not come to rescue them, then in such a situation, the safest choice should be: the camp gate is closed, and the only thing is Good defense, insisted on waiting until Xun Zhen and Sun Jian smashed Hu Zhen's camp.

However, Huang Gai and Sun Ben refused to wait. They did not want to sit in the battalion and were beaten passively. Instead, they dared to send hundreds of cavalry to beat Hu Zhen first while he was lining up. Call it "courage".

Thinking about it further, this is not only "tiger courage", but also a "wisdom".

"Ingenuity" is in two.

First of all, let Hu Zhen, Lv Bu and Xu Rong misjudge the situation, or let them not realize Xun Zhen and Sun Jian's plan soon. If Huang Gai and Sun Ben were not able to close the camp, Hu Zhen and the others might not have realized it at first, but as the war progressed, they did not see Xun Zhen and Sun Jian rushing to help. At this time, they might have realized that Xun Zhen, Sun Jian, Sun Jian may have other plans; but now that Huang Gai and Sun Ben are riding out of the camp first, they look fearless. Anyone who looks at them will think that they must be relying on the help of Xun Zhen and Sun Jian, so they dare to take the initiative. strike.

Secondly, in the battle between Sun Jian and Lu Bu, Huang Gai and Sun Ben were tasked with feigning the attack on Taigu. Although they did not participate in it, they watched the battle. Through watching the battle, Huang Gai and Sun Ben had a general understanding of the combat effectiveness of Lu Bu’s army, while Hu Zhen had not participated in the battle. It came later. Huang Gai and Sun Ben didn't know much about the combat effectiveness of his troops. Therefore, before the official battle, he sent a small elite unit to test it out to see how effective his troops were. How, this is conducive to the next formation of troops, against the defense.

Therefore, Xun Zhen praised them both for being "wise and brave".

However, they saw the small cavalry unit that was spending the battalion, and soon rushed to the position where Hu Zhen was setting up the formation.

Hu Zhen was also battle-hardened, so he was prepared for this. He had already reserved hundreds of cavalry on his side and did not let them participate in the formation, just to prepare for this situation, in case Huang Gai and Sun Ben might appear. When he made a sudden attack, when he saw that the small cavalry troops sent by Huang Gai and Sun Ben were approaching the battle, he said contemptuously to the left and right, "How dare you rush to my battle with only a few hundred cavalry? Naner Zhenjing frog also, Don't you know the sharpness of my soldiers?"

Huang Gai and Sun Ben were both from the South, so Hu Zhen contemptuously called them "Nan'er". Some southerners despise northerners, and some northerners despise southerners. This has existed since ancient times, but whether it should be despised is not just a matter of lip service, but also depends on achievements. Lu Bu also looked down on Sun Jian at first, but what happened? After a fight, the two became admiring each other.

But for now, Huang Gai and Sun Ben sent too few men, but they were not Hu Zhen's opponents.

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian watched from a distance and saw that the small cavalry troops sent by Huang Gai and Sun Ben collided with the cavalry troops sent by Hu Zhen, and they attacked each other. The open space in the east and west of Huangsun Ying suddenly stirred up billowing dust.

The two could not see the specific details of the battle, but not long after the battle, they saw the cavalry sent by Huang Gai and Sun Ben retreating while fighting. .

Hu Zhen's cavalry chased outside the camp~www.wuxiaspot.com~ galloping back and forth outside the camp, although they couldn't see their expressions or hear their shouts, but one could imagine their brilliance at this time.

Seeing the rapid defeat of the cavalry sent by Huang Gai and Sun Ben, Sun Jian did not get angry, but suddenly smiled.

Xun Zhen asked, "Why are you smiling?"

"The one who rides out of this belt must be Boyang."

Boyang is the character of Sun Ben.

"Oh?"

"My cavalry is not as sharp as the cavalry of Ping and Liang. I have only a few soldiers, but I will never be defeated in a single battle. I know Boyang, and this must be because Boyang shows his weakness because of his arrogance and arrogance. also."

After a little contact with Hu Zhen's cavalry, Huang Gai and Sun Ben can roughly test their combat strength. Now that the combat strength is detected, they will have to defend the camp and fight hard. The strength is valuable, so there is no need to entangle them. Fighting, simply feigning defeat and returning home, but also arrogant and arrogant to the enemy.

Before the war started, Huang Gai and Sun Ben had already had a hand with Dong Bing.
