The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

From another perspective, the west of Mei County may become a battlefield at any time!Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here, so he had to stop and discuss with everyone...

"My lord's idea is to confirm whether there are thieves in the two counties, and then... take the initiative to attack?" Guo Jia probably guessed Liu Tao's thoughts.

"Of course, we can't just stay in Chang'an, or cruise around the main force, right? Wait until they take the initiative to attack, or wait for the thieves to take the initiative to attack them?" Liu Tao replied.

"What about the supply problem?" Simpi was more concerned about this problem.

"It's not just friendly troops who can supply us with supplies!" Liu Tao replied, "Our enemies are also there!"

"It's too childish to rely entirely on captured battles!" Lu Bu also felt a little reluctant.

"No, no... our situation may be different..." Guo Jia muttered suddenly.

Chapter 329

"As expected, the previous crusade army has been in a state of passive defense, and if the rebel army has been advancing, it will definitely leave a few small groups of troops on the front line for investigation or harassment..." Liu Tao opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth Lift up slightly.

At this moment, more than 3000 people are ready to go. Except for Guo Jia and Xin Pi, who are guarded by fifty personal guards, the rest of them are ready to go.

Three days have passed since the discussion in Mei County.During this period, Lu Bu and Zhang Fei each led more than a hundred cavalry to investigate Chencang and Yongxian respectively. They came back yesterday and reported that they found a camp twenty miles northwest of Chencang.

It is said to be a camp, but it is actually more like a small settlement. After all, there is no relatively complete defense. At most, a simple wooden fence is surrounded outside.

The number of people is unknown, and the situation in the camp is unknown, but it doesn't matter, you just need to know the location.According to the data reported back, Liu Tao started 'Wind Dragon's Insight', and the entire camp immediately appeared within the 'vision' range.

"The situation in the camp is already known... Our side is fifty miles away from the other side, can we attack fifty miles and then launch a night attack?" Liu Tao looked at the people around him.

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another. If Liu Tao casts the 'acceleration technique', considering that there are almost all plains from this side to the other side, then the movement speed of 28 kilometers per hour can be maintained, which can only be regarded as an average speed. speed.

It can be increased to a maximum of 100 km/h, but that is the charging speed, and it can only last two kilometers in its heyday.

Even if you go forward at a constant speed, you will probably need to take a break for about thirty or forty miles.This can be achieved because of the bonus of the acceleration technique and the good endurance of the Xianbei horse itself.

As for why they rushed instead of arriving at Chencang County first, and then starting from there, after all, it was only twenty miles away, so they could arrive soon, and it would allow the horses to rest to a greater extent.

In the final analysis, Liu Tao didn't trust these counties at all.Maybe they just stayed at Chencang, and soon someone went to inform the people in that camp of their arrival.

Regardless of whether it was a running attack or a night attack, since it was an attack, it must be taken by surprise, otherwise it could only be an encounter.

"Let's go!" Liu Tao gave an order, and the cavalry started slowly. Huang Zhong's troops were archers, but they had [-] horses for transportation, so they would not be unable to keep up with the large army.

The physique of the crossbowman itself is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. Without such a strong physique and strength, he can't even draw the bow, let alone hit the target accurately while drawing the bow.Especially the rhubarb crossbow, it doesn't mean that you can wind it with your feet, and it is useless if you don't have enough strength.

With the cooperation of stirrups, it is not a big problem for such a crossbowman to change his profession to become a horseback crossbowman.Besides, the long-term raid has already been tested on the way to the south.

At that time, Liu Tao had already thought about this kind of tactic of attacking the target by surprise through long-distance raids.Relying on 'Wind Dragon's Insight' and 'Acceleration Technique', the road that can be walked has become wider and more immediately.

"Rest in place!" There were still [-] li away from the enemy camp. In order to ensure physical strength and concealment, the team slowed down and advanced at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, while bypassing Chencang County.

The original distance of [-] miles was increased to [-] miles, but instead they went around to the rear of the enemy camp.

Originally, they marched around ten o'clock in the evening, but now it was around twelve o'clock. When they passed by Chen Cang, they saw that there was a faint light of fire on the city wall, which should be soldiers on duty.

The 'Han' flag on the top of the city has not changed, which means that Chencang is still in the hands of the court, but there is a bandit camp here, why is there no report?Is it because I dare not go out of the city to report, or there are other reasons...

It is also possible that the thieves have already captured this place, but they have not removed the flag here.Speaking of which, Bianzhang and his bandits, Kou Sanfu, initially set up the banner of "killing eunuchs", which is commonly referred to as "the side of the Qing emperor".

It is really ironic that a group of traitors Qingjun side.Presumably it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that made them think that if they rebelled directly, they would face common resistance from the big men above and below, so they dare not do this.Qing Jun is different, at least it will turn some people who don't want to cause trouble into ostriches.

"How long is the rest?" Lu Bu asked after getting off his horse.

"In half an hour, for the last ten miles, advance slowly for three miles, average speed for five miles, and charge at full speed for the last two miles!" Liu Tao replied.

"What about the crossbowmen?" Huang Zhong stepped forward and asked, the archers are okay, at least they can shoot from horseback, but the crossbowmen are not good, those big yellow crossbowmen, even if they shoot, they can only shoot while squatting to keep stable .

If you shoot directly from the horse's back, you probably don't know where the crossbow will fly.

"When the vanguard rushes into the enemy's formation..." Liu Tao got off his horse, drew a circle on the ground, and pointed to a position. This is where they will attack, "This is where the material reserves and stables are located. Dismount, so that they can’t get on their horses, you dismount at this time, surround this place, and shoot any thieves who dare to come forward. I will also stay and assist you from the side.”

Then he looked at Yan Liang and ordered: "The horse archers are cruising around the camp, shoot freely!"

As for the two cavalry, let them play freely. Anyway, they are facing a group of Qiang people who can't ride horses. If they can't win this way, then Liu Tao can almost dismiss them.

The people he brought here are all the talents of the future generals, so there is no need to make the tactics so specific, and how to do each step.In Liu Tao's impression, that's what Zhuge Liang did, but in the end, none of the following could hold his own.

Perhaps it is a kind of dependence, relying on Zhuge Liang's magical calculations, which is considered exhaustive.Liu Tao didn't think he was Zhuge Liang. Although he had a genius like Guo Jia under his command, he hoped that the generals below would have more opportunities to think.

It doesn't matter even if you lose a few games because of this, Guo Jia also formulates strategies based on this concept.

Just having said that, unless he is a time traveler, who can guarantee whether a certain general will become an excellent general in the future, or even a famous general?Shu Han's fault tolerance rate is too low, I guess Zhuge Liang can't afford to gamble!

"Here!" Everyone nodded. Everyone also liked this kind of tactical design. As long as they acted according to the general policy, they could basically arrange how to fight in the future.

Half an hour later, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, perhaps because they were separated by ten miles, the thieves did not find them.

First of all, approaching at a walking speed, the main purpose is to ensure not to make too much noise, and at the same time, to ensure the horse's physical strength to the maximum extent.Then advance at an even speed, warm up the horses, and prepare for the charge.

There are still two miles to go, relying on the firelight of the camp, the Qiang people on duty can already see the cavalry on the march.

At this moment, the movement in the distance began to grow louder, and it only took a dozen seconds for it to go from subtle to thunderous.The Qiang people in the camp were very familiar with this sound, it was the sound of a large-scale cavalry charge!

Chapter 330 Reckless Is Addicted

Liu Tao had roughly drawn the internal structure of the entire tent before going into battle. For this charge, where and how to charge, each department already had a clear understanding.

For example, at this moment, Yan Liang immediately led his army to break away from the main force, and wandered around the camp, using bows and arrows to pin down the thieves in the camp.Lu Bu and Zhang Fei took the lead, broke through the fence, and then entered the enemy's interior.

Huang Zhong and Liu Tao's troops followed behind. After entering the camp, they immediately came to the vicinity of the stables and let the horses go.At the same time, quickly go to the place where the supplies are stored and surround the military supplies.

The personal guards under Liu Tao's command really practiced according to the specifications of elite soldiers.They not only have a horizontal knife and a spear at their waists, but also a pair of bows and arrows and a pot of arrows.

At this moment, they didn't need to get off their horses at all, they just maintained their posture on horseback, bowed their bows and set their arrows, ready to shoot.

The Arrowhead crouched, ready to shoot.The archers surrounded the supplies in a fan-shaped formation, and they didn't need to make much preparation at all. When they finished forming, the thieves had already come towards this side one after another.

It is true that they carry weapons and armor with them, but their horses are in the stables, so if they want to improve their combat effectiveness, they must come to get the horses.In addition, there are those who come to protect the supplies, or are prepared, even if they lose, they will not take advantage of the Han army, and want to burn all the supplies.

"Shoot!" Huang Zhong gave an order, and the crossbowmen fired quickly.

Liu Tao's personal guards are mainly shooting arrows. In terms of shooting accuracy, there are two sharpshooters Cao and Yang She to help teach them. There is no problem with the accuracy of the head.At the same time, just to be on the safe side, both of them shoot arrows at the same target at the same time.

In line with the principle that professional things should be done by professional people, Liu Tao handed over the command of the personal guards to Yang She, and then checked the current situation inside the bandit camp.There is no need to resort to magic, after all, almost all the tents have been overturned or set ablaze.

Almost the entire camp is lit up, and it's really easy to see what's going on here.

Encountered by Zhang Fei and Lu Bu's charge, the entire camp was in chaos.The thief wanted to come to fetch the horse, but who knew that the horse had already been let go.Wanting to get closer to the supplies, I have seen life being ruthlessly harvested by crossbowmen.

The thieves have been unable to form a complete organizational system, and the two cavalrymen who are constantly charging have become their biggest nightmare tonight.
