Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2857 A tactic

  It is on the other side of Qiuci City.

  Because of the separation and occlusion, plus a certain distance, Zhang Liao was not able to discover what happened on the east side of the burning Qiuci City.

  He was concentrating on the battlefield in front of him, focusing on the area he was in charge of.

   Zhang Liao tucked the bag under his arm, and he listened carefully, listening to every small sound change on the battlefield. He watched carefully, allowing more light from the distance to enter his eyes.

  In the dark night, it is difficult to distinguish the enemy from ourselves, so the battlefield is very chaotic.

  Zhang Liao's use of troops actually inherited the tradition of the Northland, and is actually very similar to Liu Guanzhang's tactics.

   In other words, at a certain stage, these people's tactics are similar.

   Blitz.

Perhaps when talking about blitzkrieg, most people will think of the mustaches of World War II, but in fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, or among the great Han, blitzkrieg has been spread in the north since the era of Wei Qinghuo Qubing, and it was used in the hands of Cao Cao Extremely flexible.

  In history, Cao Cao especially liked blitzkrieg. He attacked Wuchao in the first battle, defeated Wuhuan in the second war, and conquered Jingzhou in the third battle. Later, Sima Yi also used the same tactic to surprise Shangyong, which was also a key turning point in the battle.

  So Cao Cao's true love for Guan Yu.

  Imagine, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, coupled with Guan Yu's ability to charge and break...

   To put it simply, it is to use the personal bravery of the generals to directly attack and disrupt the opponent's center formation when the opponent's large forces are not deployed, causing the opponent to fall into a chaotic situation of losing command, so as to win the battle.

  The wind is strong and the fire is very strong.

  The burning sparks of Qiuci City flew everywhere.

  Zhang Liao's brows were furrowed.

  The war in the Western Regions cannot be delayed.

  Zhang Liao didn't want to procrastinate, and most of the Hu people in the Western Regions were also unwilling to procrastinate. Because the Hu people in the Western Regions also need farming and grazing, and spring and summer are the best seasons for plants and animals to grow.

   This is the opportunity.

  When the Guishuang army comes, there must be a large number of herds, and these herds will be scattered around the rear. If the opponent's Chinese army can be defeated, then these subsequent herds will become a very important weight affecting the balance of the Han people and Hu people in the Western Regions.

   However, the first thing to do now is to find the opponent's center.

  Zhang Liao's gaze was like an eagle, looking for his target in the chaotic lights.

  The Baishan troops of the vassal army Kucha people have been thrown outside as the first bait, and they are constantly running, entangled with the troops of the coalition forces, and continuously sending people over to mourn, crying and calling for reinforcements.

   But Zhang Liao didn't move at all. In the chaotic battlefield, he hadn't found the Guishuang people's central army yet.

  Bai Shan was on the sidelines distraught.

  As an inverted Buddhist sect, Bai Shan knew that if Guishuang brought the pro-Buddhist sect with him, then he could look forward to a quicker death. Don't think that people who believe in Buddhism will be so charitable, just like those people who made troubles through religion in history, whether it is the foreign crusaders or the White Lotus Sect in China, it can be regarded as a kind of benevolence for heretics to be directly burned to death up.

  So Baishan has no retreat. He must stand firmly with Lu Bu, and then rely on the Han people to re-establish the Kingdom of Kucha.

  But before that, you must win the Guishuang coalition forces in front of you.

  Then Baishan found out that his subordinates were being chased around by Guishuang's coalition forces...

  My heart aches, my heart is stuffy, but Bai Shan glanced and then glanced at the Han general Zhang Liao, and found that Zhang Liao didn't look like he was going to attack, but he was scratching his heart anxiously, and the seconds seemed like years.

  『What is the wise king of Kucha? Zhang Liao naturally noticed Bai Shan's behavior, and asked indifferently.

Bai Shan knew that Zhang Liao didn't really want to hear his "high opinion" when he asked him for "high opinion", but he felt sorry for his subordinates, so he was careful, and said with a smile: "In the opinion of a villain, it's better... why don't you go and ask the general guard?" Come to support, I don’t know…”

  Before he finished speaking, Han Zheng who was beside Zhang Liao scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ! Now that the situation of the battle is unknown, wouldn't it have been exposed in advance by letting the general guard come here? How can we strangle Guishuang's coach at that time? I really don't know what to say! 』

  『Yes, yes, villain, villain is stupid...』 Bai Shan managed to squeeze out a smile.

  Zhang Liao didn't talk to Bai Shan, but ordered: "Let Quan Er give up the detection of the battlefield, bypass the middle battlefield, and go north to search along the mountain line!" In any case, the location of the Guishuang Central Army must be found out! 』

   Seeing the scouts flying away as if to take orders, Zhang Liao suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

  By the way, Zhang Liao suddenly had a premonition and guessed where Guishuang's coach would be roughly located...

   It must be at the foot of the mountain on the northern line that Zhang Liao ordered Quan Er to search for just now!

  Because further north is the mountain. If he is the commander-in-chief of the Guishuang Central Army, he will also choose this position. On the one hand, he can quickly detect whether there are ambushes hiding in the middle of the mountain. On the other hand, there can also be some height differences, which can better distinguish the battlefield. Condition.

  At the same time, if you wait until dawn and occupy the mid-level position, you can also form a certain geographical advantage.

   Therefore, Guishuang's commander in chief must be on this line!

   Sure enough, it didn't take long for Quan Er to bring news that a large number of people from Guishuang were found in the mountains of the northern line.

  『I found it...』 Zhang Liao smiled and asked people to go to the other side of Qiuci City to pass the news to Lu Bu, while he started to organize his team and prepare to attack.

  …ヽ(·ω·)…

  Takesa stood halfway up the mountain, looking down at the surrounding soldiers, feeling disgusted in his heart.

Although these coalition forces are all his subordinates in name, and he shouldn't be too demanding on these people, but Taksa, who has seen the Han army, can't help but subconsciously compare these people with the Han army. Pawns are compared.

  Han soldiers are strong, capable, agile, tough and brave...

  As for my allied forces, they are all dirty and shriveled, yellow and thin, their beards and hair may not have been tidied after they were born, they are dirty, long and full of bugs...

never mind.

  Perhaps the only advantage is having more people.

  Of course his own men are not much better...

When I got rid of Maxiu before, I left in a hurry, and the army lacked food and clothing. At first, I could use the name of Guishuang to go to various states to eat and drink. After Wan, these countries in the Western Regions became flustered, and their attitude towards Taxa was getting worse day by day. If it weren't for the fact that most of the Han people were foolishly trying to destroy Buddha...

  When he heard that Lu Bu was exterminating Buddha in Kucha, Takesa almost jumped for joy. Of course, you still have to pretend to be extremely sad and angry outside, declaring that Lu Bu's actions have been punished by the heavens and will definitely be destroyed by the Buddha.

Takesa doesn't believe in Buddhism, although he also has Buddhist ornaments on his body, and he will always involve some Buddhist remarks in his normal speech, but in fact, Takesa will never be soft when killing people, and he will never let the Buddha influence a little bit of chopping head efficiency.

  Because Taxa knows that if the sins and karma mentioned by Buddhism are true, then all the nobles, generals, and upper-level rulers in Guishuang must be the most damned. These nobles, generals, etc., live better than any ascetic monk who is honest and trustworthy, free from sin, and free from karma.

  What next life? It would be nice to live happily in this life, who can take care of the next life?

  As long as the people at the bottom believe in the next life, then the rulers at the top of Guishuang will be able to live well in this life.

  So how can Lu Bu destroy Buddha?

  Takesa jumped up and down, and finally succeeded in hooking up many people in the Western Regions who believed in Buddhism, forming a huge coalition army.

   Destroy the demons in the Western Regions!

   Send you to death, and then you will have merit! Eliminated karma! You will be blessed in your next life!

  Well, as for the enjoyment of this life, I will reluctantly help you...

   Thinking of this, Taguza licked his lips with the corners of his mouth parted.

  At this moment, a soldier suddenly arrived, "General! There are Han Chinese soldiers and horses coming towards us! 』

"What? How can it be! ”Takesa’s eyes widened, and then he hurriedly asked, “Damn it, is that the Han general, is it Lu?” still high? 』

   His subordinates shook their heads and said, "Neither of them, General. No banner...'

   In fact, there is a banner, and it may not be clear in the night.

  『So, how many Han people came? ’ Taguza asked again.

  『Not many, there should be hundreds of people. 』

  『Oh, don’t panic. ”Takesa stroked his beard and exhaled, “Who wants to fight with the Han people? There are only a few hundred people, anyone can go up... aha, anyone can win...』

  Although he said he didn’t have a name, but after hearing hundreds of people, Takesa couldn’t help thinking of a certain Han general, but he felt that this kind of blessing should be given to others to try first.

  The generals of the surrounding states, whether they belong to Shache, or Shule, or Huaguo, Shiguo, etc., all look at me, I look at you, and keep silent.

"damn it! I should really kick your **** hard! ”Takesa said angrily, “These Han people are the ones who have been cut off, do you understand? The one surnamed Lu must have run away! The remaining Han people stopped us! Damn it, **** it! You cowards! 』

  Although they shouted so loudly, no one took the initiative to stand up.

   Everyone is not stupid, anyway, you can follow Guishuang to catch fish, why should you face tigers and wolves alone? Everyone in Kucha is very excited, but are you going to beat the Han people...

   Especially in the face of that monster of the Han people, the people of the Western Regions do not want to just go up to die.

  When Lu Bu crusade against the Western Regions for the first time, it swept across the Western Regions like a storm. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Western Regions collapsed instantly, and the bones of the dead were scattered all over the place. Today, some old battlefields can still be seen. The impression of such a ferocious character will not disappear directly at such a moment.

  Taksa drew out his saber and shouted loudly: "No matter how strong the Han people are, they are just one person!" Now these Han Chinese despise us, they are extremely cruel, and they have committed a crime as big as the sky against the Buddha! Now that we have so many people, can we still be afraid of the hundreds of Han people in front of us? ! This is the Buddha specially guiding us and sending the heads of the Han people to us! follow me! Whoever is one step behind is a sinner! 』

  The generals and generals of the states in the Western Regions looked at each other in blank dismay, but at the moment they couldn't allow them to think too much, or hesitate too much, they could only express their obedience to Taxa.

  『Willing to follow the general! 』

  『For the glory of Buddha! 』

  『…』

   The chaotic shouts sounded one after another, somewhat imposing.

  No matter how good the Han people are at fighting, it would be too presumptuous for them to want to defeat me, Taxa, with such a small force. Now I just take advantage of this opportunity to win a small victory, which can also improve the morale of the soldiers and generals of the coalition army. Otherwise, the next time I meet a Han Chinese, I will still be afraid or dare not go up, wouldn't it be hard work?

  Thinking of this, Taxa re-examined his lineup, convinced that his side has already prepared the best formation to face the Han.

  Uh, that's right, although he shouted loudly, he was preparing to face the battle, not to fight. He didn't plan to rush out, he just wanted to use the terrain to defeat the Han Chinese, who might have rushed here by mistake.

  His central army is deployed on a bare hill in the middle of the mountain, and further north is the mountain forest and rugged rocks, so it can form a formation with different heights according to the height of the slope. In the front are cheap and easy-to-use pikemen, and in the back are more advanced archers. Anyway, it doesn't matter how many pike soldiers on the outermost periphery die, as long as they can block the soldiers of the Han people.

  Everyone knows that as long as the cavalry can't charge, then it must be a dead end.

  Then dispatch the cavalry behind, such a surround...

   Simply perfect.

  As the sound of horseshoes got closer, Tagusa couldn't help but mention that he was actually still afraid, but now he no longer had the option of being afraid. He raised his saber high and stared closely at the shaking figures in front of him.

"Prepare! ”Takesa shouted, “Stand still! Archer! Get ready to shoot! 』

  The cheap spearmen in front were driven away and formed into human shields like hedgehogs, while not far behind them were the armored soldiers who supervised the battle, shouting loudly and beating those spearmen with their scabbards from time to time.

  Behind these armored soldiers supervising the battle, there are archer troops formed by various states.

  The Han cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horseshoes rang in almost everyone's ears.

  Takesa stared wide-eyed, waiting to see these Han Chinese cavalry rush into the human shield, and then get stuck in it...

But no, these Han cavalry first threw out the torches, and then they slashed away obliquely, just like gliding on the surface of a frozen river in winter, gliding to the side, which also attracted the front The cheap spearmen who acted as human shields involuntarily followed the Han cavalry and turned.

  『Damn it! ’ Taxa blurted out, 『Don’t move! Don't move! 』

   Taxa shouted too late.

  Of course, even if you shout earlier, it may not be effective. After all, the people who formed these human shields were some ordinary barbarian herdsmen, untouchables who didn't even have bows and arrows. The only thing they could use was their flesh, so there was no military literacy or battlefield experience at all.

  The first thing to roar over was the spear-throwing of Zhang Liao's cavalry.

   When faced with these dense queues, Zhang Liao's subordinates followed the requirements of the Code of Operations and did not even need Zhang Liao's additional orders. They just used the horse's speed to throw the spears directly, and then quickly divided into left and right directions to make room for the subsequent cavalry to attack.

  The torches were burning in front of the coalition forces, affecting the vision of these cheap spearmen of the coalition forces, making them feel that the roaring spears were like devil minions protruding from the night, harvesting blood and life at will.

  Dozens of hundreds of spearmen fell down amidst screams, and chaotic fluctuations spread in front of the formation.

  Zhang Liao's cavalry didn't stop, they circled around, ready to make another circle...

  『Shoot, shoot! 』Taksa called, pointing his saber at Zhang Liao cavalry.

According to his thinking, the arrows of these archers were to shoot at the position where Zhang Liao's cavalry turned around and turned to the side, because on the one hand, the Han cavalry had just turned, and the speed of the horse would inevitably drop, and on the other hand, the horse turned to the side. The area under attack becomes larger. But he forgot that the coalition forces are coalition forces. Although the command to shoot is the same, everyone has their own ideas about where to shoot.

  It's like steam gathered in one place can be used as kinetic energy to drive the industrial revolution, but ordinary boiled water can only bubble a few bubbles, and random arrows fly out randomly, naturally it can't achieve any significant effect.

  The Han cavalry is too fast!

  Takeza was almost out of breath, and cold sweat broke out in his palms.

  He quickly ordered his subordinate supervisor team to step forward to maintain order.

   After killing more than a dozen cheap meat shields trying to escape in a row, the array barely stabilized again.

  Taksa let out a breath, comforting himself as much as possible. Fortunately, he has a lot of people. The cheap meat shields are nothing if they die. However, the spears of the Han cavalry are limited, and they will be gone when they are used up!

  『Steady! hold on! "Taksa shouted, "The Han people don't shoot many guns! Archers, archers! Do not shoot indiscriminately! Listen to the password! Listen to the password! 』

  The chaos on the battlefield is still going on.

On the distant battlefield, some coalition troops were yelling and chasing the Kucha Baishan Army, who were also yelling. The noise was loud, but there were few casualties, except for a few unlucky guys who accidentally tripped over their horses. Or they stepped on a round stone and fell to their deaths and injuries. These two groups of people were like clowns on the battlefield, laughing and shouting to create an atmosphere.

   But here in Taxa, the sound is much quieter, only the screams of dying, accompanied by the sound of rolling horseshoes.

  Taksa suddenly felt a little regretful. If he hadn’t been greedy, hadn’t chased those damned traitors in Kucha, and didn’t want to take advantage of it, maybe he wouldn’t have encountered Han Chinese cavalry. And even if you wait until dawn and come back, you can easily let your coalition forces surround the Han cavalry, which is only a few hundred, instead of being passively beaten.

  Takesa felt that he had never been so sad in his life, as if he was leading not a group of people, but a group of pigs.

   As long as you last a few more rounds, you will inevitably enter hand-to-hand combat, and once you enter hand-to-hand combat, you will definitely be able to consume the number of Han Chinese cavalry.

  Even if it is a pig, if you cut too much, the knife will become blunt!

  As long as there are enough pigs, the Han people will also get tired and fall down!

  Drag here, consume here, drag the Han cavalry to death, consume to death!

  Takesa’s heart suddenly moved, what if he jumped out while the Han people were circling?

   I also have cavalry under my command!

   Elite, powerful, and noble Guishuang cavalry!

   Secretly assembled, and then took advantage of the Han people's turn, they rushed out! At this time, the Han people descended at a fast speed, and they were also facing us sideways, which was perfect!

  Takesa called the adjutant and asked him to send orders to the Guishuang cavalry, so that the Guishuang cavalry began to prepare...

  The adjutant went down, and Takesa stared ahead, staring at the swaying figures of the Han Chinese cavalry.

  Although come again!

come!

  Taksa shouted, feeling like he was holding back a fire.

   As if hearing Taxa's cry, or receiving his letter of war, Zhang Liao's cavalry attacked again...
