Chapter 577: Am I alive?(1/2)
Huangfu Song led his troops and fled in panic. After this escape, Huangfu Song, who had lost an inch, became frightened. Huangfu Song no longer insisted on shrinking his troops and proceeding cautiously, but ordered to advance at full speed.
To advance at full speed means that the marching team of the official army will inevitably become longer and longer, and it will inevitably lose the ability to resist surprise attacks.
But at the same time, marching at full speed can reach Julu City as quickly as possible.
Huangfusong made up his mind to run back to Julu with all his strength regardless of the situation.
Huangfu Song's marching strategy changed, but he fell into the trap set by the Zhuozhou Army.
Previously, Huangfu Song marched cautiously at a high speed, and Huangfu Song was extremely cautious. He sent a large number of scouts to search along the road, not even missing a clump of grass, for fear of being ambushed again.
Under such a march, it was impossible for the Zhuozhou Army to quietly approach and lay an ambush.
But why, even though Huangfu Song was so cautious, why did he still stray into a deserted village and get ambushed?
The answer is, distance.
With the step-by-step inspection method of the army scouts, even if not a single rabbit is missed, it can ensure that every plant and tree within a two-mile radius of the army's marching route is under investigation.
But for this reason, this method of investigation is too detailed. It is enough to search only a radius of two or three miles along the road. However, if it is expanded to a radius of five miles, it will not be detailed enough.
The officers and soldiers can inspect the details of two to three miles along the road. As far as five miles away, they can only briefly inspect the road but not the wilderness.
When the Zhuozhou Army was ambushing in front, the deserted village was three miles away from the road, and the Zhuozhou Army was lying in wait two miles away from the deserted village. The total distance was five miles. The Zhuozhou Army had already done some planning in advance and was hiding in a secluded and remote place where the officers and soldiers could not detect it.
It was five miles away, so no ambush was found.
Huangfusong went to the deserted village to get water. When he arrived at the deserted village, the ambush was two miles away. However, Huangfusong was negligent for a moment and did not expect to conduct a detailed investigation around the deserted village before leading his troops forward. This negligence was very fatal.
Huangfu Song also didn't expect that the Zhuozhou army would be ambushing five miles away. They happened to be ambushing near the nameless deserted village. The officers and soldiers happened to bump into it and fell into the trap.
Investigation accuracy and investigation scope cannot have both.
Scouting feedback and marching speed cannot both be achieved.
If Huangfusong had been marching cautiously, the several ambushes ambushed by the Zhuozhou Army on the way forward would have been easily discovered by the officers and soldiers, and the deterrence effect would have been greatly reduced.
However, Huangfu Song's strategy changed drastically and he moved at full speed. When the scouts were screaming and rushing away, it was difficult to conduct detailed investigation.
After Huangfu Song hurriedly traveled ten miles,
"Kill!
"
"Go!
"
In the wilderness, there was a sudden shout of death and a huge earthquake.
"Hush!"
Huangfu Song hurriedly reined in his horse and stopped halfway.
In an instant, countless ambush soldiers emerged from the ground and surrounded the officers and soldiers from both sides of the avenue.
Huangfu Song glanced at him and said, "Don't talk about the army of ten thousand people."
Huangfusong's face was gloomy.
After marching for ten miles in a hurry, our 30,000-strong army was already out of touch. Zhuozhou Army's ambush troops suddenly came out. If they took advantage of the situation and attacked, the 30,000-strong army would be instantly disintegrated.
While Huangfu Song was thinking about countermeasures, the Zhuozhou Army's ambush troops stopped and stood sixty paces away on both sides of the road, forming a formation.
A horseman ran out from the ambush of the Zhuozhou army.
A Zhuozhou Army general wearing a helmet and armor rode up to Huangfu Song. He held his fists in a salute that was neither humble nor overbearing, and said, "The surrounding area is uneasy and there may be thieves causing trouble. My military advisor has specially ordered us to wait here."
After saying that, the general of the Zhuozhou Army pulled the reins and pulled the horse toward the side. "The road ahead is safe, please go!" the general of the Zhuozhou Army stretched out his hand in greeting.
Huangfusong looked at the generals of the Zhuozhou Army in front of him expressionlessly, and looked past the generals of the Zhuozhou Army towards the back. Looking at the dark human walls and gun formations surrounding both sides of the avenue, Huangfusong's face became more and more gloomy.
I originally thought that the Zhuozhou Army had a water source in North Carolina and it would be unwise to go north, so it was better to go east.
Don't worry, go east, there will be ambushes along the way.
Huangfusong was not sure for a while whether the Zhuozhou Army's ambush was in the north, or was he deceived by the Zhuozhou Army and the ambush was actually in the east?
The more he thought about it, the more Huangfu Song felt that he had been tricked.
Wherever there is water in the north, where the giant deer water vein is in the north, this is clearly a deliberate attempt to confuse people's minds with this cunning statement.
It was clear that the north was empty, and he was afraid that the army would move north. Instead, he said there was an ambush in the north, so he forced the army to go east.
At this point, the Zhuozhou Army probably still has ambushes in the east, but there are probably no ambushes in other directions.
But we were already close to the giant deer, so if we ordered to turn around and take a detour now, it would delay our journey.
Huangfusong was in a dilemma: should he continue to advance along the east and reach Julu City as early as possible and be safe early, or should he go around north or south to Julu in order to avoid encountering an ambush.
After thinking deeply for a moment, Huangfu Song decided to continue heading east.
This is the second encirclement of Zhuozhou Army.
The first siege in the deserted village frightened Huangfu Song.
Then they surrounded the wilderness and deliberately came out to scare the officers and soldiers for a while.
The long marching team of the officers and soldiers gradually arrived at the place where the Zhuozhou Army ambushed and attacked. When the officers, soldiers and generals saw the Zhuozhou Army arrayed on both sides of the avenue, their breathing was suppressed for a moment.
Among the officers and soldiers, there was one person who was extremely interested in the Zhuozhou Army, Cao Cao.
Cao Cao arrived from behind and saw the ambush troops of Zhuozhou Army miraculously appearing in front. After Cao Cao was surprised, he was no longer surprised.
The officers and soldiers were besieged too many times. Cao Cao became numb after being besieged again and again.
The second ambush consisted of about ten thousand people.
After these 10,000 people ambushed the officers and soldiers, and after all the officers and soldiers had left, the ambush soldiers followed directly behind the marching column of the officers and soldiers, hanging back three to five miles, and followed leisurely at a slow marching speed.
Huangfu Song then walked hurriedly for several miles, again in the wilderness, when suddenly he heard a big killing call, and a large number of ambushes came out.
Huangfu Song had to rein in his horse and halt the army again, his face became even more gloomy, revealing a bit of impatience and intolerance.
The ambush in front of them numbered tens of thousands of people, and the one that rushed out was only three thousand at most. Their formation was scattered and there was no deterrent.
Huangfu almost had murderous intentions.
However, after all, he was still very afraid of the Zhuozhou Army. Huangfu Song suppressed his anger and buried his head forward amidst the arrogant shouts of killing from only three thousand Zhuozhou Army infantry.
Some time later, Huangfusong was ambushed again.
This time when the ambush was launched, Huangfu Song became even more impatient and even more intolerable.
The Zhuozhou Army's ambush force left only about a thousand soldiers.
Huangfusong's murderous intention became more and more unbearable.
Huangfu Song marched hastily all the way, and after walking for a long time, he was constantly harassed by Zhuozhou Army ambushes.
It was just once or twice, but Huangfu Song became increasingly annoyed as the number of times increased. The Zhuozhou Army's ambushes became fewer and fewer, their formation became more and more scattered, but they became more and more arrogant. Huangfu Song became more and more ready to kill.
Finally, Huangfu Song arrived in front of a high hill, and the shouts of killing started again from the front.
A group of Zhuozhou troops rushed out from behind the high hill, shouting for death. This group of Zhuozhou troops ambushed only two to three hundred people.
After the Zhuozhou army broke out from the ambush, a group of people took up positions on a high hill. "Old General Huangfu, it's been a hard journey all the way?" the Zhuozhou soldiers shouted loudly to Huangfu Song.
"Look at the old general's dusty face. Have you ever drank water? If you are thirsty, come here, come here, I am hot!"
After saying that, all the Zhuozhou soldiers looked at each other and laughed, then untied their belts, took out unknown objects from their crotches, and started shooting at Huangfu Songbiao.
At this moment, Huangfu Song received the greatest insult he had received since the battle with the Zhuozhou Army.
It can be said that scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
Before Huangfu Song could move, Huangfu Song's cavalry could not bear the humiliation and were so angry that they stepped forward and slaughtered this small group of Zhuozhou soldiers.
"Don't act rashly!" Huangfu Song shouted coldly to stop his subordinates.
Huangfusong clenched his hands tightly, his face was gloomy, and he stared coldly at the Zhuozhou soldiers on the high hill who were doing their best to humiliate the officers and soldiers. Huangfusong's murderous intention had reached the limit.
How can a man be humiliated like this!
Huangfu stared at the small group of Zhuozhou soldiers on the high hill for a long time, motionless, until the sound of horse hooves and footsteps gradually became louder behind him. Huangfu Song looked back and saw that the number of infantry and cavalry following behind him was already several thousand.
.
Huangfu Song, who couldn't bear it anymore, drew out his sword with a stunned sound and shouted angrily, "All the troops obey the order! Follow me and slaughter this enemy! Kill!"
"
All the officers and soldiers cheered in unison.
"Kill!
"
"Kill the thief!
…
Huangfu took the lead, leading thousands of troops to attack Gaogang with the momentum of a fierce tiger emerging from the mountain, intending to kill all the hundreds of Zhuozhou troops.
