The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 224

The day after Xu Zhong arrived at Yinping, Sun He led his troops to arrive.

Because Sun He only brought more than 300 people, it is not so much that he came to fight side by side with Xu Zhong, it is better to say that he came to guide Xu Zhong as a landlord, so Xu Zhong did not arrange any specific combat tasks for him. , but asked him to accompany the Chinese army to act with him.

The next day, Xu Zhong gave an order, and the three armies moved out, left Yinping, and headed northwest.

After traveling 60 miles a day, Xu Zhong's army marched for two days and arrived at Hexiang.

This place is one of the most northwestern counties of Donghai County, and it is the defense area of ​​Zhao Yun. The current Anmin Commander, Chen Rong, is stationed here.

Because this county is next to the State of Lu, Chen Rongping's main task is to prevent the Yellow Turbans from the State of Lu from escaping into the East China Sea, but now Xu Zhong is about to enter Lu. , but small-scale skirmishers may flee north and enter the East China Sea. It can be imagined that, at least in the near future, before Xu Zhong completes the battle to enter Lu, his tasks in the area of ​​guarding against the Yellow Turbans of Lu State and entering south are all will be heavier than before.

Xu Zhong ordered all the ministries to rest in Hexiang for one night. On the second day, they headed north for several li, crossed the Nanshui River, and then traveled more than ten li to enter the territory of Lu. More than a hundred miles away is Bian County.

According to the established arrangement, Zang Ba and Xu Zhong parted ways here.

Zang Ba led his troops to fortify outside the city of Zu County to prevent the Yellow Turbans from leaving the city to aid Bian County. Xu Zhong then led the main force to Bian County.

Zang Ba's troops were all Taishan soldiers, and Xu Zhong and others were not familiar with them. In order to facilitate smooth communication between the military situation on both sides, Xu Zhong sent Guo Jia to Zang Ba's army, and assigned a cavalry to follow Guo Jia. On the battle formation, swords and spears had no eyes, Xu Zhong knew that Guo Jiaji was favored by Xun Zhen, and for the purpose of ensuring his safety, the cavalry troops assigned to him were from Zhang Fei's tentative commander.

"Captain Commander" is a fixed formation in Xunzhen's army. Those whose chief officers are at least Zhonglang generals, that is, qualified to form an army alone in wartime, all have this formation under their account, ranging from one to many. Two or three.

The number of soldiers in each division is not many. Usually, the infantry is a hundred or two or three hundred, and the cavalry is a few dozen or a hundred cavalry. Each army is dedicated to attacking the strong and conquering the strong, beheading the generals and breaking the flag, all of which are naturally selected soldiers, from officers to soldiers are the most elite in each army, and the weapons and equipment used are also the best in each army. The armor, shields, halberds, spears, and crossbows used by the infantry are all first-class weapons, and the weapons used by the cavalry are also excellent things. If nothing else, only horse armor is mentioned. Xun Zhen's army now has a total of horse armor. The rest of the collars, except a few were allocated to senior officers, and the rest were all in the trap camp.

Although Zhang Fei was still only a school captain, but because of his bravery, he also treated him differently. Xun Zhen ordered Xin Ai to assign him a group of trapped soldiers, a total of 80 cavalry, divided into two songs and four camps.

Xu Zhongba protected Guo Jia from one of them. It seemed that there were only 20 cavalry and only a small number of them. However, during the chaos of war, these 20 cavalry can be regarded as 200 cavalry. It is a very elite force, even if Zang Ba Even losing to the Yellow Turbans in Zuxian County was enough to keep Guo Jia safe.

A relatively complete unit that can fight independently must be composed of various arms. Only when the different arms are rationally combined in the most appropriate way can the maximum combat effectiveness of this unit be brought into play. When he first started his army, Xun Zhen attached great importance to the composition and formation of various arms in the army. Later, through the study of Huangfu Song and other famous generals to organize the arms of the headquarters and the practice of several large-scale independent operations, now, the infantry under his command All have formed a three-line combat system.

The first line is the assault force or defense backbone composed of heavy armored elites such as traps, hook halberds, middle bases, and armored shields. The third line is the main combat department composed of ordinary soldiers.

In addition, depending on the situation, some cavalry units are allocated to the infantry.

For example, this time Xu Zhong entered Lu, and the composition of his subordinates followed this system principle.

This three-line combat system looks very simple, but there are still many difficulties in the process of construction. First, there must be enough heavy armored soldiers and bowmen, and secondly, there must be enough weapons, armor and shields , Once again, once the soldiers and armaments are available, and the system is prepared, it will not be able to exert its maximum combat power immediately. It also needs to go through a certain amount of actual combat running-in, so that officers at all levels can deeply understand the capabilities of different arms and learn to command. They fought together, and at the same time, they had to learn how to cooperate with each other.

It has been seven or eight years since Xun Zhen started his army. After such a long period of exploration, training and actual combat, his three-line combat system did not see excellent results until the attack on Xuzhou. Seeing that his combat system was relatively mature, Xun Zhen had the confidence to face the more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans in the territory of Lu, but only dispatched 3,000 direct descendants.

After Xu Zhong entered the state of Lu, he sent Xun Zhen a military newspaper every day, and reading his military newspaper was one of the things Xun Zhen had to do every day.

On this day, on the fourth day after Xu Zhong entered the state of Lu, Xun Zhen received a military report that he "crossed Sishui today, broke through more than a thousand thieves on the north bank, and entered Bianxia, ​​surrounded by three sides". The military newspaper was written by Xu Zhong yesterday, so what this "Crossing Sishui today" is actually what happened yesterday.

The Yellow Turbans were not the only ones in the three counties, including Bian County, in the territory of Lu State. In addition to the main force in the three counties, there were also some other troops and horses in the countryside outside the three counties. Therefore, Xu Zhong, Zang Ba, Sun He and others led the way. After the troops entered the country, although they had not yet launched a major battle, they had already engaged in several battles with these Yellow Turbans scattered in the countryside.

The military newspapers that Xu Zhong sent from Lu State to the prefecture three days ago all contained descriptions of "a few thieves have been defeated today", but the Yellow Turbans that defeated the most people before were two or three hundred people, and there were even a few hundred people. , These should be the other Yellow Turbans scattered in the countryside, but in this military report, after passing through Sishui yesterday, he defeated as many as a thousand Yellow Turbans on the other side. These more than a thousand Yellow Turbans are obviously not the other Yellow Turbans, but It must be a blocking force sent by the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Bian County to try to stop Xu Zhong and his troops crossing Sishui.

Xu Zhong did not mention the casualties of the headquarters in the military newspaper, and the description of the entire battle process was only a simple sentence "breaking more than a thousand thieves on the north bank". It seems that this battle was not fierce, which made Xun Zhen. I don't think it's a little strange.

Most of the Yellow Turbans in the territory of Lu Kingdom fought in many places, and many of them rebelled in the first year of Zhongping. Among them, there are quite a few old soldiers. It is said that their combat power should not be so unbearable. It was unexpectedly easily defeated by Xu Zhong. There must be some mystery in it~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xun Zhen thought for a moment, and wrote to Xu Zhong: "The Yellow Turbans of the Lu Kingdom have fought against Qingyan, there are many old soldiers, and the water is fortified, If you don't strike as a general, this is a plan of arrogance, and a general should guard against deceit, and you must be cautious in attacking and fighting." After writing, the author sent it out immediately.

Tanxian County is more than 200 miles away from Bian County, even if it is fast, it will be a day before this palindrome is sent to Xu Zhong's army, but even so, Xun Zhen has no idea whether Xu Zhong will use the Yellow Turbans or not. do not worry. He thought to himself: "Junqing faces the enemy, is not arrogant, and has ambitions in the army. Even if this is a plan of the arrogant soldiers of the Yellow Turbans in Bian County, it will definitely be ineffective."

This is also true. Even if the Yellow Turbans use their tactics, how can they deceive Xu Zhong and Xi Zhicai? In fact, Xun Zhen's palindrome can be written or not, but as the coach, since he can see that the Yellow Turbans are playing tricks, he can't ignore it.

After the palindrome was taken by the clerk outside the hall and passed on to the messenger, Xun Zhen called Yuan Zhongqing to come forward and asked, "Can Gongda send a secret message?"

Because Xi Zhicai had to enter Lu from Xu Zhong, in order to allow him to better understand the situation in Rencheng and other places, he was in charge of the detailed work dispatched to Shanyang, Rencheng and other places earlier, and now he has gone to the State of Lu. , the focus shifted to fighting against the enemy, and Xun You was in charge of these detailed works. After summarizing, Xun You would select the key points, copy two copies, send one to Xi Zhicai, and report the other to Xun Zhen. Because of the great importance, all the secret reports submitted by Xun You, without the hands of the government officials, were received by the former Zhongqing or Zuo Bohou, and then forwarded to Xun Zhen.

Yuan Zhongqing replied: "No secret report has been sent today."

Xun Zhen nodded, and was about to turn back to the hall and sit down when she saw Xuan Kang hurried in from outside the courtyard.
