Chapter 564: Invite the General into the Urn(1/2)

The Zhuozhou Army taught Huangfu Song a good lesson with vivid practical operations. Huangfu Song, who had fought many bad battles, knew from then on what it means to alternate movement and stillness, what it means to be both moving and still, and to be both chaotic and orderly.

The officers and soldiers walked along the main road at a normal marching speed. The Zhuozhou Army's pocket formation moved step by step closely with the officers and soldiers' marching column, firmly trapping the entire march of the officers and soldiers in it.

If it was just an ordinary encirclement, not to mention the Zhuozhou army could encircle it. The Yellow Turbans had a large number of people and could still surround the officers and soldiers on all sides.

When the Yingchuan Yellow Turban was fought, Huangfu Song was surrounded by the Yellow Turban.

However, the Zhuozhou Army could not be compared to the Huang Army.

Because the encirclement was long enough, one section longer than the marching line of the army. Whenever the rear of the army passed by, the gun array at the end immediately dispersed, like a snake shedding its skin, section by section.

These scattered gun formations were part of the movement.

This group of people who were originally in line used running speed to circle from both sides of the encirclement to the front and then to the front. Because the encirclement was longer than the official marching column, these people at the end of the line ran away and ran to the front.

After the head of the team, there is enough time to assemble the team.

When the marching line of the officers and soldiers had gone through a clear section and reached the head of the line, the section just ahead of the head of the line had already been lined up with gun formations and stood there for a long time.

They are both encirclements, and the difference between encirclement and encirclement is here.

If the Yellow Turban rebels are encircled, the Yellow Turban troops will rush out from all directions in a chaotic manner, scattering like birds.

The encirclement of Zhuozhou meant that the officers and soldiers would be targeted by gun formations every step they took.

This is the so-called alternation between movement and stillness. What is moving is that the rear troops quickly take over the front formation, and what is motionless is the gun formations in the middle and front.

If this continues, until the end of time, the marching ranks of the officers and soldiers will still be surrounded by pocket formations.

The road is wide and the officers and soldiers walking on the road are in much better condition than those of the Zhuozhou Army. The officers and soldiers walking on the road should be in a more comfortable mood.

However, as Huangfusong watched the Zhuozhou soldiers running past the Zhuozhou soldiers on both sides of the avenue, he felt increasingly unhappy.

The clay figurine still has a certain degree of fire. Even if he is being escorted away by the Zhuozhou Army in frustration, or even if he is surrounded to death, Huangfu Song will not let the Zhuozhou Army get his wish easily if he insists on fighting.

Huangfu Song immediately ordered the entire army to speed up their march.

Huangfu Song could clearly see the Zhuozhou Army's formation. The key lies in the Zhuozhou Army's infantry and cavalry formations, matching speed and speed, and the encirclement formation being long enough. The key lies in these two.

With the formation of infantry and cavalry, Zhuozhou could build a large enough encirclement with limited troops.

If they were surrounded by infantry, and the infantry would have to form a spear formation, then even if there were 100,000 people, it would be difficult for Zhuozhou to close the encirclement.

And if the formation is long enough, the Zhuozhou Army can constantly move from the rear to the front, and continue to advance from the front.

Huangfusong saw the flaw of the Zhuozhou Army. Huangfusong saw that although the Zhuozhou Army's encirclement circle was long enough, although there was a length growing out in front, the length growing out was not too long.

As long as the march speeds up, it will be faster than the Zhuozhou Army's succession. Let's see how he does.

Huangfu Song secretly started to compete with the Zhuozhou Army.

Under Huangfu Song's urgent order, the already slow marching speed of the officers and soldiers accelerated again, and the officers and soldiers began to trot.

As soon as the officers and soldiers moved quickly, the Zhuozhou Army's formation here moved faster.

At the rear of the formation, Zhang Fei asked his deputy to lead the cavalry from behind, while he himself was busy directing the rear of the formation.

The so-called ending is that Zhang Fei was holding a whip in his hand and making a vicious sound. Once the officer army passed by, Zhang Fei immediately shouted viciously, "Let's go! Hurry up and follow!"



"Damn it! The captain leaves first, can't you remember?"



"Follow one by one! Who the hell asked you to rush away?! I'm going to kill you!"



After all, this is actual combat, and it is different from the situation when you have touched something beforehand. When you touch something beforehand, there is no need to run to catch up.

Nowadays, there are many people and chaos, and situations happen frequently. If someone loses his shoe while running in a hurry, that person will subconsciously stop to pick up the shoe.

Before the man could stop, Zhang Fei shouted, "No more shoes! Don't stop! Let's go!"

Zhang Fei shouted angrily and his whip cracked.

The unlucky guy who lost his shoes was so clever that he didn't dare to pick up the shoes anymore, so he quickly ran away with his wooden gun.

At this time, we were moving very quickly. Team after team followed closely, and there was no room for confusion. If someone suddenly bent down to pick something up in the middle, he would trip up a group of people.

The encirclement is so big and long, and if one person makes a mistake, it will delay the entire line. If there are ten people in the middle who cause trouble, the leader of the team will react to it, and the leader will take advantage of it. If there are a hundred people in the middle who make trouble, the encirclement will not be able to keep up.

Huangfu Song wanted to compete with the Zhuozhou Army, which indeed caused some trouble for the Zhuozhou Army.

But, that’s it.

Facts have proved that when commanding an army, there must be no disputes of temper.

Huangfu Song led the officers and soldiers to run forward for two miles, but before they could get out of the encirclement, Huangfu Song stopped running.

There are three reasons.

First, the soldiers of Zhuozhou went into battle lightly. In addition to the lightly armored infantry, they were also more mobile cavalry, and they were not burdened by any heavy vehicles.

The officers and soldiers were different. The officers and soldiers brought many Zichong chariots and horses. No matter how hard the Zichong troops used their strength to run, they could not outrun the lightly-armed infantry.

Secondly, Huangfu Song wanted to run out of the encirclement with a rapid march. The officers and soldiers marched in a hurry and ran without letting up. However, the Zhuozhou soldiers were running intermittently, and the soldiers at the end of the team were running intermittently.

I rushed to the front of the queue with all my strength, and then stood still in formation. It wasn't until the queue had taken a turn that I started running again.

One had to run non-stop, and the other ran for a while and rested for a while. The difference caused by this was that before running two miles, the physical difference between the official army and Zhuozhou's soldiers widened.

At the beginning, the officers and soldiers marched quickly to pursue the encirclement.

After running for a while, the physical strength of the officers and soldiers dropped significantly. On the contrary, the Zhuozhou soldiers ran and stopped, but the speed remained the same. This resulted in that, after about two miles, Huangfusong discovered that not only did he not catch up to the leader of the Zhuozhou army, but he also followed the team.

The head is getting further and further away.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for the third point, the officers and soldiers marched in a hurry, and the Zizhong team fell behind, and the team became much more disconnected.

Huangfu Song also had cavalry under his command. Huangfu Song threw away the infantry and rushed forward with the cavalry. He easily surpassed the leader of the Zhuozhou army without even using cavalry. Huangfu Song abandoned the Zi heavy team and led the infantry to charge forward for a while, and he was able to escape the encirclement.

possible.

However, Huangfu Song dared to let the Zi heavy troops fall behind, let the infantry and cavalry get separated, and let the troops run loosely? No.

Huangfu Song was old and prudent, and he would be on guard against the Zhuozhou Army whenever he could. To be on the safe side, and to prevent the Zhuozhou Army from killing him, he had to gather up the marching troops at all times, making the marching ranks as compact as possible and manpower as concentrated as possible.

Huangfusong fell into a conspiracy.

In an encirclement, if the marching line of the officers and soldiers is lengthened, the encirclement of the Zhuozhou Army will also be lengthened.

With the same strength, if the encircling Zhuozhou army becomes longer, the strength will inevitably be more dispersed. If they seek to break out of the encirclement, the success will be greater.

However, conversely, in order to lengthen the encirclement of the Zhuozhou Army, the officers and soldiers must first lengthen their own ranks.

The Zhuozhou army's encirclement was lengthened and its troops were dispersed. The marching line of his army was also lengthened and its troops were also dispersed.

The key is here.

The ranks are all elongated, and the forces on both sides are dispersed. The changes are the same, but the weights are different.

For the Zhuozhou Army, the encirclement was lengthened, but the encirclement was a little looser. The encirclement was still an encirclement. The only difference was that it could encircle and kill 50% of the official army and encircle and kill 40% of it.

However, for the officers and soldiers, they originally marched on the main road and formed six columns. The outer two were shield soldiers, and the middle ones were spearmen and crossbowmen.

In this way, even though they are a marching army and are under heavy siege, they can still struggle once the Zhuozhou Army attacks.

If the team is lengthened, with six people in a row, it will be stretched into a slender marching team with two people in a row. It is like a seven-inch snake everywhere, and the cavalry will break wherever they charge.

Instead of cavalry, infantry and a spearman can directly cut off the march by rushing over with their guns drawn.

The key is here. For the Zhuozhou Army, lengthening the troops is a matter of indifference. For the officers and soldiers, it is a matter of life and death.

Knowing that the more compact the marching team is, the shorter the team will be, which is easier for the Zhuozhou Army to encircle, but Huangfu Song had to shrink the team as much as possible.

Huangfu Song had no choice but to fall into the conspiracy and couldn't help but cooperate with the Zhuozhou Army's siege.

——

As he walked further and passed a small forest, Huangfusong suddenly stopped and looked ahead in horror.

In front, just after turning around the woods, Huangfu Song suddenly saw that after passing the woods, on both sides of the road ahead, dozens of steps away from the road, there were countless soldiers and horses arrayed here. The terrain in front happened to be flat, and they were arrayed on both sides of the road.

The troops and horses were like a long wall, spreading from the end of the road to the end of sight.

What a long human wall.

From a cursory glance, we can see at least 20,000 people, and I don't know how many more there will be.

Huangfusong was shocked by the long human wall.

As soon as Huangfu Song stopped, the marching team of the army also stopped.

As soon as the army troops stopped, Zhang Fei, who led the cavalry behind them, immediately knew where they were.

In the second section, there was an ambush.

The encirclement was divided into two stages. In the first stage, Huangfu Song had already seen him and was ambushing him, but he suddenly came out from all directions.

The Zhuozhou Army deployed this way to frighten the officers and soldiers and prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

The second stage of encirclement is the main force of the Zhuozhou Army and the real iron barrel formation.
