Chapter 575: Locking Formation(1/2)
One night passed, and all night long, the torches surrounding the army camp did not stop, and the fire was brightly lit all night long.
"Kekeke~"
Just before dawn, a clear rooster crow suddenly sounded.
Zhang Fei lay on the manuscript table and took a good nap, with the chicken coop beside him. It was peaceful and quiet, but the rooster suddenly crowed, which frightened Zhang Fei and woke him up.
After waking up, Zhang Fei rubbed his face fiercely. The rooster was still crowing non-stop. Zhang Fei glanced at the chicken coop and thought, "If you crow, I will kill you and eat you sooner or later."
The rooster crows and it is almost dawn.
Zhang Fei stood up, looked around, and then walked directly to the cooks. Beside the bonfire, the cooks were boiling water. Zhang Fei filled a bowl of hot water, took out a piece of pancake in his arms, and ate it.
.
After finishing the pancake in a few seconds and drinking a bowl of hot water, it was considered breakfast.
Zhang Fei called someone and called the ordering soldier, "Go, form the team, it will be dawn soon."
The soldiers followed the order and left. Soon, when the sky was still dark and dark, the Zhuozhou army started to move. The Zhuozhou soldiers who had been sitting in the cold wind all night stood up, picked up the shoes sitting on their buttocks, and
Put it on your feet again.
The captains of each squad began to count the number of people and began to form a queue. The centurion began to patrol, and the more senior officers began to inspect the formation and coordinate the various units.
At the same time, the crows of the two big roosters brought by Zhang Fei became more and more loudly heard by the officers and soldiers.
Huangfu Song was also woken up by the crow of the rooster. The crowing of the rooster was an ordinary sound, but now Huangfu Song was a bit confused. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. When he woke up, he heard it was the crow of a rooster. Huangfu Song looked at it.
Looking at the dark night outside the tent, my heart tightened for no reason.
The night before, the Zhuozhou Army had agreed to use the rooster's crow as a signal to send the troops to escape. When Huangfu Song walked out of the siege, his heart was pounding with fear, his heart was pounding, he was covered in cold sweat, and he was so nervous that he couldn't be any more nervous.
The so-called conditioned reflex is formed in this way.
At that time, Huangfu Song was frightened by the crowing of the rooster. Now that the rooster was crowing again, Huangfu Song was directly stressed and suddenly became nervous again. The nervousness of getting out of the tight siege suddenly rebounded.
The big rooster was still crowing, and its sound was heard in all directions, including the entire camp of officers and soldiers.
Huangfusong couldn't help but feel agitated as he listened to the crow of the rooster.
He stood up and walked out of the tent, "Bring out the camp!" Huangfu Song shouted directly at the messenger waiting outside the tent.
——
The officers and soldiers hurriedly packed things in the dark. Until daybreak, the officers and soldiers still had not packed everything.
As soon as it dawned, the officers and soldiers saw that the Zhuozhou Army's formation had been set up outside. The Zhuozhou Army's formations were in a circle, and the gun formations were standing still, with the tips of their spears pointing towards the officer's camp.
side.
The officers and soldiers who were busy cleaning up the camp, looking at the powerful enemy on the side and their prepared appearance, felt as if they were being watched by monkeys, embarrassed and embarrassed.
Finally, when the sun finally rose, the army and the army were all packed and organized, and the marching troops were in line.
All around, the Zhuozhou Army was surrounded by an airtight formation, and the road ahead was not open.
Huangfu Song sat astride his horse and glanced into the distance. On both sides of the road, the Zhuozhou Army was still in continuous formation along the road.
One look and you can tell that today you will be surrounded all day again.
Huangfu Song was silent in his heart, and was about to send someone to negotiate with the Zhuozhou Army to let them open the road. At this moment, there was a shout from the front.
"Let go!" Zhang Fei from the front ordered let go.
With a crash, the Zhuozhou soldiers who were blocking the road withdrew to both sides, making way for a gap.
Huangfu Song, who was still not used to marching in the enemy's encirclement, looked at the open road ahead and had no choice but to dive into the encirclement again.
"Drive!" Huangfu Song said lightly, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and the war horse led the army forward with a clatter.
——
According to the pre-war arrangement, it is known that the official army was seventy or eighty miles away from Julu City, and the encirclement deployed by the Zhuozhou Army was forty miles away. In other words, the official army could only be encircled for one day at most.
According to Li Mengxi's estimation, he thought that the army would complete the 40-mile encirclement in just one day. He did not expect that Huangfu Song would deliberately suppress the speed of his march and deliberately close the formation. Although the march was accelerated, the speed was not fast. Yesterday,
, the officers and soldiers only traveled about thirty-five miles.
In other words, today the Zhuozhou Army's encirclement is only five miles long...
On the march that day, Huangfu Song led the army forward. Everything was calm and calm. As he walked, it felt that he had not walked for too long. After walking a few miles, suddenly there was a traffic jam on the road ahead.
The terrain in front is that there are dirt slopes on both sides of the road. The slope is not high, and there are people on the slope. The road between the two slopes is very wide, and the road is full of vehicles. The carts extend from the middle of the road to the high slopes on both sides.
, blocking the road completely.
Huangfu Song couldn't help but frown, was he not allowed to leave?
Not knowing what the Zhuozhou army meant, Huangfu Song temporarily stopped marching.
After a while, Huangfusong saw that the car array in front moved and moved away to reveal a small path in the middle.
Then, the Zhuozhou Army cavalry came. The cavalry came to Huangfu Song and said, "The road ahead is open, please go!"
Huangfusong's frown deepened. Huangfusong didn't quite understand why the Zhuozhou Army suddenly made such a move since he had given up.
With doubts, Huangfusong rode his horse forward, and when he got closer and closer to the car formation on the road, Huangfusong soon realized that something was wrong.
What's wrong is not the car formation itself, but after the car formation, after passing the car formation, looking back and far away, the road behind is completely empty on both sides, and the road suddenly opens up. There is no damn Zhuozhou Army's iron barrel formation, no!
Huangfusong's eyes widened immediately, and he secretly looked at the distance. His heart moved slightly, and he immediately came up with a guess.
Without revealing any traces, Huangfu Song whispered to him, "Order, leave quickly!"
The officers and soldiers who had stopped walking suddenly accelerated, and the queue hurried forward through the formation of vehicles.
The entire army of officers and soldiers hurried forward. In the procession, when Cao Cao passed the Zhuozhou military chariot formation, he took a careful look. When he saw the chariot formation, there was a dirt slope immediately after it. The dirt slope was not as high as the vehicle frame. After the dirt slope,
There is a ditch immediately following.
Behind the car array is a small earth slope half a person's height, and then a village ditch one step wide.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At first, Cao Cao was surprised when he saw the slopes and ditches after the chariot formation. He was surprised that the Zhuozhou Army was very capable of digging trenches.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao became confused.
Cao Cao wondered if the Zhuozhou Army's fortifications were reversed. There was a slope behind the car formation. If a fight broke out, the people behind the car formation would retreat. Retreating would be inconvenient. Moreover, there was a ditch behind the slope. If the Zhuozhou soldiers were forced
If you retreat further, won't you be forced into a ditch?
There is a trench behind you. What a strange formation this is.
Later, he had missed the Zhuozhou Army's vehicle formation and was turning his head to look back. When his direction fell, Cao Cao suddenly realized the Zhuozhou Army's intention!
Zhuozhou's military fortifications are clearly not for defense from the front, but from the rear!
In other words, what we are guarding against is not the officers and soldiers coming along the road, but the officers and soldiers who are coming out of the car formation!
After having this insight, Cao Cao's mind suddenly changed and he wondered why the Zhuozhou army wanted to defend the rear.
Just thinking about it, before Cao Cao could fully think about it, all the officers and soldiers came out of the car formation.
After all the officers and soldiers had left, the Zhuozhou Army immediately surrounded the chariot formation.
Moreover, the Zhuozhou soldiers who were facing west on the slopes on both sides of the road turned around and faced east.
On the road, the traffic formation also changed immediately.
The Zhuozhou sergeant behind the vehicle pushed up the vehicle and turned it around. He easily changed the direction of the vehicle and blocked it.
In an instant, the Zhuozhou Army's defensive direction suddenly changed.
If the previous forty-mile encirclement was to close the door and beat the dog, trapping the 30,000-strong army in an iron barrel array so that they could not act recklessly, then now, the current operation of the Zhuozhou Army is doing the opposite, which is tantamount to closing the door.
Go to the door to prevent the vicious dogs from outside.
The officers and soldiers are the vicious dogs that can pounce back at any time.
But regardless of whether the dog had any malicious intentions or whether he would pounce on him or not, the Zhuozhou Army happened to be stuck in a wonderful terrain at the final position. Although the terrain here was not dangerous, the terrain was very advantageous.
The terrain is open in the middle, with low undulating slopes on both sides. A long row of vehicles is blocked in the middle road, and infantry and gun formations, mixed with bows and crossbows, and cavalry are placed on the low slopes on both sides.
After the officers and soldiers got out of the chariot formation, they looked in another direction. What they saw was the high ground, where the Zhuozhou army's spear formation was standing, and the cavalry were also standing on the highest point of the slope, looking like they were about to charge.
In the middle of the road, the Zhuozhou army dug a long ditch. Although the ditch was not deep or wide, it was only one step wide. However, although the ditch was narrow, it was still enough to make the attacking side difficult for several minutes.
In addition, the Zhuozhou Army built a short slope behind the ditch. The narrow ditch plus the small slope created a double advantage. If it were to attack, it would be a big disadvantage.
In addition, the Zhuozhou Army also had a chariot formation.
When the cart was pushed up the small slope, the Zhuozhou Army not only had ditches and slopes, but also vehicles to rely on. It would be even more difficult for the officers and soldiers to attack.
All the officers and soldiers had fled. As Huangfu Song and other officers and generals saw, they had broken out of the final encirclement, and there was no more encirclement in the remaining distance.
The sky is vast and the earth is vast.
Huangfu Song worriedly sent his scouts to spread out to investigate, fearing that the Zhuozhou Army would suddenly jump out of the field without anyone noticing, and tens of thousands of people would suddenly rush out.
When the officers and soldiers went out, they were not careless. They almost scraped the ground three feet step by step to explore. When they came across bushes, they even used their guns to fish them out, for fear that someone might be hiding in the grass.
The army scouts hurriedly explored a three-mile radius and found no ambush.
Huangfu Song learned about the military situation and relaxed a little.
