The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

?The plan has been decided, Zhang Liao led his troops to follow, and in the evening went to the west of Gepi, ordered his troops to build a camp, and sent scouts to inspect Xu Zhong's camp.

The scouts inquired into the night and returned to report: Although Xu Zhong’s camp was only in the grass, it was heavily guarded, and it was difficult to get close. Only by peeking from afar to check the size of the camp, the troops and horses should be within 4,000, and they should climb to the top and look around. It can be seen that the number of cavalry in the camp should be about six or seven hundred.

This scout is Zhang Liao's old army. He often fought against the Qiang Hu in Bingzhou in the past. He has rich combat experience. It is less than 4,000 cavalry, and there is only one cavalry, Zhang Fei. There are three songs in total. The full composition is 800 cavalry, and now there are less than 800.

And through the deployment of defense inside and outside Xu Zhongying, the scout judged: the main general knows the soldiers, and the part can be called a war.

When the camp was roughly completed, there was no need to worry about Xu Zhong's attack. Zhang Liao took advantage of the night and brought only a few entourages. Xu Zhong's camp looked at the surrounding terrain.

He listened to the report first, and then watched it in person. After knowing what he knew, Zhang Liao returned to the camp, summoned his subordinates, and arranged for the next day's battle.

Silent all night.

The next day, after Zhang Liao's group had a full meal, they gave them enough time to digest their food, and then Zhang Liao led the crowd to battle.

Bypassing Ge Pei, to the south of Xu Zhongying, Zhang Liao formed an army.

Since it was to lure the enemy out of the camp and defeat them with cavalry, Zhang Liao's formation focused on challenges.

Nearly 100 elite cavalry are listed at the front, divided into three formations, the middle is the provocative part, and the two sides are the "raised soldiers", that is, the display of cooperative soldiers. Behind the challenge and Yang Bing were four hundred foot soldiers, and Zhang Liaoqin was sitting here in the center. There are more than 100 infantry on both sides of the center line. These are the two wings of the center line. They are used to protect the center line and prevent the enemy from attacking from both sides. Some cavalry are arranged behind the center line. This is the reserve team. When the battle ahead is tight, they will be transferred up. Behind the reserve were the remaining 300 cavalry and the remaining less than 100 infantrymen. These 400 cavalry, mainly the 300 cavalry, were the troops Zhang Liao was going to use to raid the enemy.

Although Zhang Liao's troops were not many, his formation was both offensive and defensive.

In the sound of flags and drums, the cavalry, led by their respective officers, quickly and orderly changed from the formation of the marching force to the combat formation, and the dust was flying, and the spear Ge moved like a forest. Qu Gong was dazzled by the Bingzhou dialect spoken at the time of the military order, but just seeing this situation made Qu Gong dazzled. Challenge Xu Junqing!" Zhang Liao was afraid that he would disturb the formation, so he ordered him to stay outside the formation.

Yesterday before Zhang Liao arrived in Gepixi, Xu Zhong had already heard that he was here.

This early in the morning, Zhang Liao's troops first marched and mounted, and then drummed loudly outside their camp, and Xu Zhong knew it for a long time.

Zhang Fei, Xun Pu, He Yi and others will rush to the commander's tent to wait for Xu Zhong's orders.

He Yi asked Xu Zhongdao: "Zhang Wenyuan's troops are outside the camp, what is the general going to do?"

Zhang Fei said: "Zhang Wenyuan's formation has not yet been completed. If he attacks urgently at this time, he will surely win. Fei, please bring the headquarters out of the camp to attack!"

Xu Zhong did not answer the two of them, stood up from the seat, and walked out with his sword. Zhang Fei, He Yi, Xun Pu and others quickly followed.

At the entrance of the tent, I met Xu Shao and several soldiers. Xu Shao and others were not soldiers, so their reaction was not as fast as Zhang Fei's, because they had only come now. Xu Zhong nodded slightly to them, and said to Xu Shao, "Some enemies came and accidentally disturbed Duke Xu."

This is Xu Shao's first time joining the army. He has never been in such close contact with war before. The enemy is so close at hand, and the sound of drums can be heard. , Liang soldiers are ferocious, I heard that even women in Liangzhou can wear armor and carry spears to fight the enemy, in terms of bravery, Liang's frontier soldiers are far more powerful than Danyang and Huaisi, so although he is famous and romantic , The cultivation of qi is good, but I am also a little nervous at the moment. Seeing Zhang Fei and others wearing armor and blades, following Xu Zhong with murderous aura, he put down his beard and asked, "Where is the general going? Dare to ask, but do you want to raise troops to fight?"

Xu Zhong replied: "Let's go and see the enemy formation first, and then talk about the challenge."

Xu Shao, soldiers, etc. joined Zhang Fei's generals, followed Xu Zhong, and came to the watchtower in the camp. Just now, everyone stood still and was looking at the situation of the enemy's formation when they heard footsteps and turned around to see that it was Xu Zhuo who was climbing up the steps.

Xu Zhuo came to Xu Zhong and said, "The guard of the camp gate has been ordered not to fight."

However, Xu Zhuo's tent was close to Xu Zhong, so when Zhang Liao's troops arrived, he was the first to see Xu Zhong. Xu Zhong asked him to give orders to the camp gates, ordering the camp gates to stand guard and not to fight. He had finished his order, and now he came back to reply.

Zhang Fei, He Yi, Xun Pu and others looked at each other, Zhang Fei asked, "Why is the general not allowed to fight?"

Xu Zhong stared from afar, carefully watching Zhang Liao's formation.

Among the generals under Xun Zhen's account, Xu Zhong and Xun Cheng have the highest prestige~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Because Xu Zhong usually speaks less and is more powerful than Xun Cheng, he does not speak, although Zhang Fei and others are puzzled , but did not dare to ask again.

After a while, Xu Zhong finished watching the enemy's formation, and then answered Zhang Fei's words. He said slowly: "Although Meng Tu defeated the enemy by one match, Qu Gong, the thieves, are not comparable to Bingzhou. I expect that he will be very high-spirited at this time, and my soldiers may be a little proud if they beat a thief. If they are challenged by the enemy at this time, I will use my pride to meet the enemy's sharpness. Victory or defeat is hard to predict."

Zhang Fei and others suddenly realized.

Xu Shao praised: "I heard that the soldiers are fighting for the first, and the general really knows the soldiers!"

Xu Shao's status in Xuzhou was detached, Xu Zhong respected him very much, and said humbly: "Xianxiangye, how can you dare to be called a soldier? I just learned a little from the lord."

Xun Zhen has always spared no effort to cultivate and improve the military command ability of his subordinates. He gave Sun Ce his hand notes, and the military books he compiled and distributed to his subordinates contained numerous battle examples and detailed notes. Learning warfare in the middle of war is the fastest way to learn the military. After many years of fighting, Xu Zhong and others have long ceased to be "rural people" and already know the art of warfare. Of course, having said that, it also depends on the individual's comprehension. Xu Zhong's comprehension is not low, so he is now a famous general.

Zhang Liao set up a formation outside Xu Zhongying. Seeing that there was no movement in the camp, except for a team of soldiers who were guarding the camp, he seemed to have no intention of coming out to fight. He took a closer look at Xu Zhong's fort, and saw that the fort was not finished yet, it was indeed "grass-built", but the antlers, ravines outside the camp, and high platforms and turrets inside the camp were all ready. If the strategy of "baiting the enemy out of the camp" that was previously set is changed, and if it is replaced by a strong attack, there may be no small casualties. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Choose some loud voices and go out and scold!"
