Chapter 360 The First Battle of the Eighth Camp in the West Garden (Part 1)
Hu San waved his hand, and a group of soldiers who were like tigers and wolves stepped forward. They tied Dong Min, Xu Rong, Dong Yue and others in a few seconds, and directly asked the left deputy general Dong Sheng to lead the Beidi Camp to take charge and stay in the Daying. He personally led the soldiers of Shanzi Camp to leave the camp and crashed towards the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan several miles away...
"A bunch of bastards--"
Dong Min was furious. After Hu San led his troops to leave, the left deputy general Dong Sheng asked someone to loosen the three of them. The furious Dong Min drew his sword and was about to kill Dong Hu's brother, which scared Xu Rong so much that he hugged the person tightly...
"Xu Rong, let go—"
"The third general is calm..."
"let go--"
Dong Min struggled and roared, struggling to shake off Xu Rong, and rushed in from outside the camp for more than ten soldiers, just in a mess...
"Bang!"
Dong Sheng suddenly threw his waist knife in front of Dong Min. Dong Min, Xu Rong and Dong Yue, who were already pulling each other, suddenly froze and looked at the indifferent army commander.
"San Master, Third General, do you want to kill the last general? The knife is right in front of you!"
The army of Dongbuyi was different from the recruitment of soldiers in the Han Dynasty. The deputy generals would command at least 10,000 infantry or 5,000 cavalry. The number of soldiers commanded by the battalion generals was sometimes more or sometimes less, but there were at least two thousand soldiers, which was determined according to the actual situation. In other words, there were different numbers of battalion generals under the deputy generals.
The supreme commander is Dong Hu, and the deputy generals are below. With the continuous expansion of territory, based on the ten deputy generals of Dong Chong, Dong Xiaoyi, Dong Gu, Liu Qi, Hua Xiong, Sun Niu, Dong Yao, Dong Xin, Hu San, Xing Yong, the original scout camp captain Dong Chi, Dong Hou, and Zhang Liao and Yang Yi's son Yang Xiong, the former little commander of the Yellow Turban Army Huang Shao, and Xu Huang, who was promoted to the exception, was also successfully promoted to the deputy general. Dong Hu had 16 deputy generals, but this was only temporary. After attacking the four counties of Hexi in Liangzhou next year, once the Hehuang Valley is opened, some people will definitely be promoted to the deputy general.
Below the deputy generals are battalion generals, and below are the brigade leader, squadron leader, squad leader, squad leader, squadron leader, but whether it is the battalion general or the brigade leader, squadron leader... they are actually members of the "combat deputy team", and they are all promoted step by step in the order of "one, two, three...". In addition to the "combat deputy team", there is also a group of "non-combat deputy team", and the "non-combat deputy team" is the commander of the left and right level in the army, and is a group of "company staff officers".
Hu San's left deputy general Dong Sheng was actually the left deputy general. He went out to war and was in charge of military rules and regulations. He was the chief general who was in charge of military farming and was in charge of all matters of military farming. His position in the army was not only special, but more importantly, Dong Sheng was one of the hundreds of beggars adopted by Dong Hu and was Dong Hu's direct brother!
The brother who killed Dong Hu did not nod like Dong Hu. Not to mention Dong Min, even Dong Zhuo must consider it carefully before thinking about it.
The knife was thrown to the ground, and the needle fell from the military tent could be heard. After a while, Dong Sheng hugged Dong Min, Xu Rong and Dong Yue.
"Shengduo offended him, I hope the three generals will understand."
After saying that, he led all the generals out of the tent, leaving only three people.
Seeing that everyone had left, Xu Rong thought about the content of the letter Dong Hu had given Hu San, and his mouth was full of bitterness.
"Three Generals, I'm afraid... I'm afraid General Hu is not a bad thing to make a fuss."
As he said that, Xu Rong delivered the letter from his arms to Dong Min, and Dong Yue next to him was even more shocked.
"General Xu, you..."
Dong Yue spoke in shock, and Xu Rong just shook his head.
"The letter was sent by General Huwa to General Hu. Some things... General Dong Yue should not know, it would be better to get involved. After all, some things... General Huwa did it, but you and I can't do it."
Dong Yue didn't know the content of the letter, or even Hu San had such a letter. He was a little unhappy, but after hearing Xu Rong's words, his heart suddenly tightened...
"This...this..."
Dong Min looked at him ten lines at once, and before he could finish reading the letter, he was sweating profusely and looked at Xu Rong with panic.
"But anyone else knows the content of the letter?"
Xu Rong shook his head and said, "This matter is a big deal. Apart from Hu San and Dong Sheng, there are probably only the last generals."
Dong Minqiang calmed himself down. After thinking for a while, he looked bitter and sighed...
"Tiger baby is really like this. Why don't you tell us about such a fatal thing?"
Xu Rong lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. Thinking about the scene when Dong Zhuo received Dong Hu's letter a few months ago, he sighed in his heart.
Dong Hu was extremely dissatisfied with Dong Min's arbitrarily bringing 15,000 soldiers and horses on the Eastern Front into Luoyang. It was not that he opposed what Dong Min did, but that Dong Min had changed the combat plan without the consent of the commander and left the main attack direction without the consent of the commander. This was no different from defection. This was something that no commander would allow!
There are one and two. When Dong Min changed the combat plan without authorization, Dong Hu sent a letter to Dong Zhuo. After roughly explaining the matter, he deduced the situation after Hu San and Dong Yue led troops into Luoyang. He believed that Dong Min was prone to be confused in some major events. He hoped that Dong Zhuo could let the steadfast Xu Rong go to Luoyang, and Xu Rong directly led Hu San and Dong Yue's troops.
Xu Rong knew why he came to Luoyang, so he didn't dare to say anything. If he said too much, wouldn't it make the number one general under Dong Zhuo dislike it?
Dong Hu is the number one general under Dong Zhuo's name. Whether it is Xu Rong, Niu Fu, or any general in Liangzhou, they have to admit this fact.
After reading the letter, Dong Min sat back on the grass group with a wry smile. The letter did not watch with Dong Yue, for fear that the letter would be unexpected. After stuffing it into his arms, he even slapped it twice, but his face was full of bitterness and sighed...
"Huwa...forget it, there are some things we can't interfere with, so let him make a fool of himself."
As he said that, Dong Min looked solemn again.
"General Xu, you must inform your brother as soon as possible. The court sent Huangfu Song to preside over the Meiyang camp. It would be meaningless for the brother to continue to stay in the Sanfu of Chang'an. At this time, it is probably the wisest choice for the elder brother to come to Luoyang. Once Hu San makes things worse, only the elder brother can hold them back."
Xu Rong nodded silently, after reading the letter, he knew Dong Hu's overall plan, and was extremely cautious in holding his fists.
"After the sun sets, I will send someone to Miyang."
Dong Min nodded with a bitter smile, but his words made Dong Yue's heart turbulent, and he roughly guessed what Hu San made a fuss.
A quarter of an hour ago, Dong Min was extremely angry and extremely angry with Hu San's "rebellion" that tied them up, but now... they just sat silently on the grass group and drank without caring about the shocking war drums and horns in their ears...
The six men had never seen Dong Buyi fighting in front of the formation, Yuan Shao, and the Central Army Captain Yuan Shao (Addian Clerk) Yuan Shao and Dian Clerk Cao Cao had seen Sun Niu and how Hu San wiped out 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves, but the two had gone to Qing, Xu, and Yan ten days ago, saying that they were recruiting troops for the general He Jin to conquer the thieves in Liangzhou.
It seems that everyone knows that once Princess Liu Yan married Yu Fuluo, more than 10,000 troops in the southern camp would definitely "rebellion" and attack Luoyang. Not only Jian Shuo, Xia Mou, Chunyu Qiong, Bao Hong, Zhao Rong, and Feng Fang led the eighth camp to 16,000 troops outside Luoyang. General He Jin, General Dong Chong, General He Miao, General He Miao, Later General Yuan Wei, the new Weiwei Qun, General Yuan Shu, General Hu Ben, and the city gate captain Zhu Jun and other military bosses appeared outside the city. There were Situ Ding Gong, Sikong Liu Hong, General Sikong Cao Song, General Taiwei Ma Riyan, and Cui Lie, who became the Taifu...
Looking at the countless soldiers and horses under the city, Cui Lie said with some concern: "I still think it should be safer. The battlefield is changing. If the Eighth Camp of Xiyuan suffered a severe blow, it would be a good thing?"
The Grand Marshal Ma Riyi smiled and said, "Mr. Cui is too worried. Just looking at the scene in front of him, Mr. Cui should be able to see the victory or defeat. As for what Mr. Cui said, the Eighth Camp of Xiyuan suffered a severe blow... As long as he can defeat those thieves, he will recruit some people again afterwards."
After hearing this, all the ministers smiled and nodded. They were originally unwilling to let the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan fight against the Nanying, which was not much beneficial to them. But after seeing the scene in front of them, the thought of not wanting to let the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan was also thrown into Java. They were more willing to defeat the Shanzi Camp in Husansuo in one fell swoop, which would also shock the boys in Liangzhou.
Listening to others agree with Ma Riyan's words, Cui Lie could only suppress his uneasiness and stare at the two waves of troops two miles away...
The war drums shook the sky, and the horns were ringing. There were 16,000 soldiers and horses in the eight camps in Xiyuan, and Hu San only had 10,000 soldiers. Although the court had a little more soldiers and horses, it had not yet achieved an absolute advantage. However, the imperial army was waving with banners, with thousands of cavalry on both sides of the left and right wings, and there were 200 chariots in front of the formation. One side of the court was even more imposing. Looking at Hu San's soldiers and horses, although Dong Hu sent various supplies, the military soldiers were still a little messy and the army did not have much depth. Instead, they were arranged directly into six rows of "one"-shaped linear arrays.
"I think that Dong Hu is so powerful. With such a military formation, our army only needs to set up a Yuli formation, and only needs a chariot and a charge to completely defeat the troops in front of us!"
General Bao Hong carefully looked at the wide military formation that was slowly pressing over the opposite side. He felt a sense of disdain. The other generals could not help but nodded silently. The military formation on the opposite side was too thin, with only six rows of linear formations. Not to mention using chariots to rush forward, he could probably kill more than 10,000 soldiers on the other side with only two thousand cavalry to harass and shoot.
The key is, is Hu Sanzhen on the opposite side so stupid?
Although Jian Shuo was a military captain, he had never really been to the battlefield. After seeing this scene, he didn't know what to do. He looked at Zhu Jun, who had commanded the war.
"General Zhu thought how should our army arrange troops?"
Zhu Jun is the only general among the generals who have seen Dong Buyi fight. The six-row linear array formed by Hu San, and the six-row linear array with only six-row linear arrays has no tactical depth. However, this type of array array has one advantage, that is, the tactical wideness is large. Seeing this width of two or three miles, Zhu Jun instinctively thought of the battle under Dingying City. Instinctively realized that Hu San wanted to encircle and annihilate him, and his expression was extremely cautious.
"First use cavalry to attack the two wings, and first use chariots to attack the central army of the bandit army." After thinking about it, Zhu Jun finally felt more secure.
"Will you go to fight now?" Jian Shuo asked again.
"The enemy is only one mile away from our army now, so you can send a general to try it out." Zhu Jun nodded.
Jian Shuo nodded silently and looked at the generals under his name.
"Who dares to lead the troops to fight in chaos?"
Jian Shuo spoke, and without waiting for others to come forward, Bao Hong took the lead in leaving the list.
"The last general is willing to defeat the thief in the first battle!"
"Okay! Two thousand cavalry will be temporarily commanded by the general. If the general succeeds in his first battle, I will ask Your Majesty for you!"
"promise!"
Bao Hong clasped his fists heavily, and was about to pluck the horses and lead the troops to kill him, Zhu Jun suddenly spoke.
"General Bao Hong should be careful."
Bao Hong didn't care much about it. The army formation on the opposite side was too scattered, and he led two thousand cavalry to attack the loose army formation two or three miles wide. He didn't believe that he would fail, but he still punched him solemnly.
"promise!"
