Chapter 532: Cracking Huangfu Songs plan to subjugate his troops(2/2)
Looking towards the official army formation, Li Mengxi stared at it for a long time and said, "The dilemma for our army is that if we order the defense, we will not be able to train our troops and dig trenches; if we do not order the defense, then if Huangfu Song suddenly
In the event of an attack, the soldiers of each team may not be able to defend themselves against the enemy.
The difficulty is that the soldiers may not respond in time."
At this point, Li Mengxi suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Bei, "I have a way to make the soldiers respond in a timely manner without having to wait in vain."
"The law is to extend the cordon.
You can order Guan and Zhang to carry dozens of flags and place flags sixty steps in front of our vehicle formation as a boundary.
Then he made it clear to the officers and soldiers that if they did not cross the boundary, they would live in peace, but if they crossed the boundary, they would be struck by thunder.
Then he ordered the sergeants, soldiers, and civilians to practice and work on their own. If the officers and soldiers did not cross the flag, there was no need to be on guard.
When the officers and soldiers cross the flag, they will set up a vehicle formation to defend.
There is a distance of sixty steps to act as a buffer. If the officers and soldiers move, our troops will be able to assemble to guard."
As soon as Li Mengxi's plan came out, Liu Bei was satisfied. Now, there was no need to conflict with the officers and soldiers. He only had to plant some flags as a warning.
Liu Bei called the messenger cavalry, and ordered the messenger cavalry to inform Guan and Zhang, and ordered them to stand sixty steps in front of the chariot formation and set up flags as a boundary.
Soon after, the encircling car formation opened up, and Zhang Fei led two hundred fine cavalry into the formation.
It was said that the flag was set up sixty steps in front of the formation, so Zhang Fei led the cavalry and rushed directly to Huangfu Song's face.
Arriving in front of the cavalry formation, Zhang Fei stabbed the spear flag to the ground with great force, and then said arrogantly, "This flag is the boundary! If you officers and soldiers dare to take a step beyond the flag, you will be missed by the crossbow!"
Huangfu Song said angrily, "A certain vertical is a Yue flag, what can I do?"
Zhang Fei blew his beard and stared, as if he was angry.
But immediately, Zhang Fei's expression changed and he chuckled, "How can a mere broken flag stop Old General Huangfu?
If you want to cross the flag, you can cross the flag, but my military advisor has said that if you dare to take a step further, you will be ready with a strong crossbow!"
After that, Zhang Fei ordered the cavalry behind him to disperse on both sides and set up flags.
Not long after, the cavalry planted a flag not far away, and a little while later, the cavalry came back.
Zhang Fei and other cavalrymen under his command had already rushed back and ordered in a deep voice, "Go back!"
With one word, he ordered us to go back.
The Zhuozhou cavalry left.
The officers and soldiers looked at the flags scattered on the ground by the Zhuozhou Army. Some people were angry and said, "General Huangfu, I'm going to charge him and see how he does..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before the officer and general holding a big ax could finish speaking, there was suddenly the sound of whistling arrows and rain of arrows.
A large rain of arrows was obviously not fired directly at the officers and soldiers, but deliberately shot ten or twenty steps in front of the army's formation.
The arrow rain was extremely dense, and the sound of arrows was rapid and continuous. When the arrow rain fell to the ground, the arrows made a pop-pop sound when they hit the ground.
Affected by the rain of arrows, some horses among the official cavalry were frightened, kicking their hooves and trying to retreat. The knights on the horses tried hard to calm them down.
The Zhuozhou army was well prepared for the rain of arrows. When the arrows rained together, they fired several rounds in succession.
When the rain of arrows stopped, in front of the army's cavalry formation, a dozen or twenty steps away, a long arrow suddenly appeared in front of us.
The ground was littered with arrows, and the arrows were as dense as grass. At least two thousand arrows were shot, and it was a horrifying sight.
When the officers and generals saw the arrows not far away, they were all speechless.
The officer and general holding the big ax just now didn't say anything either.
At the same time, on the side of the Zhuozhou military vehicle array, Li Mengxi stood on a cart. Behind him was a team of three hundred crossbowmen, and beside the cart was Liu Bei.
Li Mengxi pointed to the place where the arrow fell in the distance and said, "Look, someone said, two tigers are fighting with each other, baring their teeth and baring their eyes. If I don't show my fangs, the enemy will come rushing in."
No, after a hail of arrows passed by, the officers and soldiers did not dare to cross the border.
If there was no rain of arrows after the three generals planted the flags just now, Xuande thought that if only a few flags were broken, would Huangfu Song not have the courage to charge? Are the generals in the army and officers incapable of bravery?
If some officers and soldiers really crossed the border just now, our army would have fired back with crossbows and arrows. This would have triggered a conflict. How likely is it for a war?
Just now, if we fail to catch up for a moment, a big battle will be inevitable."
Liu Bei thought so.
He also thought that if there was a slight mistake, a war would inevitably happen, and Liu Bei felt deeply in danger.
Huangfu Song endured and endured, but still could not give the order to force the flag boundary. Huangfu Song knew very well that the cavalry was a powerful weapon to break through the encirclement and break the formation. It was unwise to damage the cavalry's combat power in order to gain momentum.
Huangfusong took a sharp look at the flag boundary set up by the Zhuozhou Army and the arrows in front of him. Huangfusong could only endure the humiliation.
Among the officers and soldiers, Cao Cao looked at where the Zhuozhou Army's arrows fell, carefully thinking about the timing of the Zhuozhou Army's arrow rain and the shooting distance, which was very precise.
Zhuozhou's military flag boundary had just been established. Without waiting for the reaction of the officers and soldiers, there was a rain of arrows immediately. Moreover, the arrows were deliberately not thrown at the officers and soldiers' cavalry, but shot in front. This did not increase casualties and did not cause harm to both sides.
Conflict, the two, make the deterrence effect just right.
The officers and soldiers were tightly controlled and forced to retreat.
Cao Cao was impressed by the Zhuozhou Army's ingenious plan.
In the Zhuozhou military vehicle base, under a large flag, Cao Cao took a look and could vaguely see a small figure standing on a cart.
The arrow rain just now came from that direction.
There must have been arrangements in advance. Bows and crossbows were mobilized early, and the instructions were given strictly. They also coordinated the crossbows and cavalry. When the Zhuozhou army's cavalry returned, they deliberately retreated to both sides, in order not to block the enemy's attack, so that the arrows could be fired immediately.
.
It must be such a tight arrangement, step by step.
