The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

So he couldn't figure it out, and at the same time he was very curious about Liu Tao, so he was not polite, and immediately expressed his desire to join.There is no denying that if the opponent can really hit this level without casualties, then it is worth taking a risk with him!

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Jian came here early, but what he didn't expect was that the people here got up earlier.

"Wentai is here?" Liu Tao learned that Sun Jian had come, so he stepped forward, "Have you had breakfast? If not, come over and have a meal before we set off."

"Now I have three meals a day, isn't it..." Sun Jian was taken aback, a little incredulous.After all, at present the army is still rationed according to the two-meal system, unless the enemy is approaching and may enter the battle, at this time you need to have enough physical strength to fight before you will be rationed according to three meals.

In the final analysis, it is to save food and grass in the army. Sometimes whether you can win or not depends on who has more supplies.

"How can I have the strength to fight if I don't eat enough? I have the autonomy of the battlefield here, so naturally I have the final say on how to distribute food and grass. Anyway, it is separated from the main camp, and they don't know how we eat." Liu Tao winked at Sun Jian. wink.

"If that's the case, it would be disrespectful for me to be an official!" Sun Jian smiled when he heard this, and he was not polite. Who wants to be hungry when they can eat enough.

Not long after, not only Sun Jian had breakfast, but the five hundred cavalry behind him also had breakfast.After eating a delicious breakfast, the [-] cavalrymen who followed Sun Jian were a little touched, and they really did not follow the wrong person.

Of course, in fact, I am more envious of those soldiers under Liu Tao's command, and their treatment must be better.

"Here is the map of Anding County. It's a pity that I didn't find the map from Qi County to Linjing County. Maybe you can find it in Qi County." During the meal, Liu Tao handed a copy of the map to Sun Jian.

This is what he drew before. After several experiments, this one can at least be read.At least the approximate locations of rivers, mountains and cities are not too outrageous.

"This is drawn by the general?" Sun Jian was taken aback. He knew that Liu Tao went to see Tuyu last night, but he didn't expect to be able to draw it in one night... Although the drawing is a bit bad, it is at least barely. can see.

"I can't help it. My drawing skills are really not very good." Liu Tao expressed helplessness, "I will try my best to draw better in the future, and I will make do with it at this stage. But unless necessary, we will not divide our troops, and it is estimated that we will not be able to use this at that time." Toy."

As far as the ability of his eyes and his own memory, it is definitely the safest to navigate by him.But marching in the mountains, especially when facing tens of thousands of enemy troops, it is possible to divide the troops to maximize the results of the battle.At this time, you need a map!

Don't dare to say that the man will have one share, and the two generals will have one share, at least they must be guaranteed.

Chapter 337 The Ambush in Front of Qixian County

During the two days with the army, Sun Jian found nothing unusual in Liu Tao's army, and there was nothing strange about the three meals a day.From now on, they may encounter enemy troops at any time, and they must keep their physical strength in a state of abundance to enter the battle at any time.

There is nothing to say about the marching speed, it is slower than the normal cavalry marching speed, but not too slow.According to Liu Tao, it is to ensure the physical strength of the horses so that they can be ready to charge at any time, and Sun Jian accepted this statement.

It's just that he didn't realize at all that when he was resting every night, the horses were in good condition.Even though he had driven nearly a hundred miles, it seemed like he was taking a walk, and he didn't expend much energy at all.

Of course, it is estimated that unless a professional horse breeder, he will rarely pay special attention to the state of the horse.Even if you find it, you will probably feel that it has always been like this, after all, the speed of travel is not very fast.

"We will be entering the mountains tomorrow..." After stopping to rest, Liu Tao picked up a piece of paper and prepared charcoal pencils to scribble on, and said casually.

"To be precise, it's a mountain road. If you want to go to Qi County, you have to walk for at least a day." Sun Jian replied, "It's just that the mountain road is not that steep and the mountain is not very high, so the cavalry can still pass."

"There is only one mountain road, and there are forests on both sides. The old man often said 'no one can enter the forest'." Liu Tao complained.

"The general is worried, is there an ambush?" Sun Jian seemed to understand that there was something in Liu Tao's words.

"It's not that I'm worried..." Liu Tao handed the paper to Sun Jian, "It's that there are indeed ambushes! Sun Sima, there are nearly [-] ambushes waiting for us to take the bait thirty miles ahead, but it's not easy for cavalry to move around in that terrain. Say what to do?"

"There was really an ambush? But how did the general know?" Sun Jian was startled when he heard the words, and then he was a little puzzled.The reconnaissance cavalry was indeed dispatched, but if it can be seen that there is an ambush, the reconnaissance cavalry's detection ability is too strong.

Or, did the opponent not even know how to ambush, showing his flaws?Or in other words, neither of them, Liu Tao has another way, knowing that there are ambushes over there?No, no, no, he didn't even believe this thought...

Of course, now is not the time to discuss this. Sun Jian looked at the drawings, and the terrain ahead, as well as the distribution of the thieves, were all drawn... This drawing skill has improved a lot compared to two days ago, at least it feels much clearer. .

The biggest question is... have you planted spies among the thieves? Why do you know so clearly? !

Generally speaking, it is understandable for scouts to find ambushes. After all, the other party also said that there are tens of thousands of ambushes, which means that it is not surprising to find one or two people occasionally... Wait, why is he sure that there are tens of thousands of soldiers?

Sun Jian felt that he could not continue to think deeply, otherwise his mind would probably be full of question marks.I have lived to be 30 years old, and for the first time like this, I have a lot of problems that I want to talk about.

"If the weather is dry, a fire will solve everything." Sun Jian thought for a while and replied. He knew so clearly that if he found a direction and set a fire, all problems would be solved.

"Yes, if the weather is dry." Liu Tao pointed his finger, it's only afternoon, why did they stop to rest, just because there are thieves in ambush thirty miles away?

Of course not, because it started to rain in the afternoon!

This is not only about camping on the spot, and then carefully protecting the luggage. No one wants to see the dry food with them moldy when they look at it the next day.Seeing that they are almost in Qi County, they can't send people back to deploy a batch of supplies, right?

I haven't seen it raining for more than ten days. Who knows that it will suddenly be covered with dark clouds at noon, and then it will rain one after another in the afternoon. The rain is not light, and it seems that it will fall overnight.

This time going north, all supplies were mainly carried by an extra [-] war horses, and there were not many tents, mainly to take care of a few generals.According to Liu Tao's strategy of "eating from the enemy", it doesn't matter whether you bring things or not, as long as you capture the enemy's camp, you will have everything.

"Then follow the night attack that the general is good at, and take advantage of the rainy night tonight..." Sun Jian thought for a while and replied.

"This is a good suggestion, but in the rainy mountains and forests, the ground is wet and the roads are slippery, and horses are prone to slipping and breaking bones." Liu Tao also has his worries.Don't expect zero casualties at that time, but if the loss rate of horses exceeds half, it will be a big loss.

"I don't know when the rain will last." Sun Jian reminded.Do we have to wait until the heavy rain stops and the sun even dries up the land before we start night raids?

In this kind of weather, even the fire can't be raised, the thieves must have the highest degree of laxity, and it is also the most unexpected opportunity to make meritorious deeds in one fell swoop.

"That's true..." Liu Tao nodded when he heard the words, "It seems that there are some things that should not be too conservative."

There are still a lot of war horses in the rear reserve, if there is a real loss, just replenish them in time.But the fighter plane was lost, and the chance to defeat tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop was gone.

"The announcement goes on, everyone has a good rest, tonight's night attack!" Liu Tao got up immediately, and announced out of the tent.

"How can you take a good rest in this rainy day?" Zhang Fei complained directly. At present, tarpaulins are used to ensure that everyone can barely cover the rain, but after a long time, water will still seep in.Besides, the ground is wet.

"Then just kill them now?" Liu Tao asked back.

"That's okay!" Zhang Fei thought for a while and nodded, "Anyway, there is no difference between a running attack and a night attack, as long as you can catch the thief by surprise!"

Lu Bu and the others also nodded one after another, thinking that it would be more comfortable to rely on the facilities over there to shelter from the rain after they captured the other party's camp.At least, it's more comfortable than it is now.

"Well, let's take a look at the distribution of the thieves." Liu Tao ordered. After all, the thieves' camps are distributed on both sides of the road, and there are two camps.In other words, there are situations where troops need to be divided.It's just that it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

According to the map drawn by Liu Tao, the fan-shaped areas are almost all bandit camps, large and small.The ones in the rear are larger, and I think it is no longer necessary to hide, and the ones in the front are scattered, and they may even be outposts.

Due to the wide range, Liu Tao's line of sight could not fully cover it. 1 people is just the result of guesswork. There are tens of thousands of people on this scale, so don't just cast doubts.

"My lord, do you know what is hidden behind this ambush?" Guo Jia's attention was obviously elsewhere.

"Just as we were about to come, there was an ambush here, what a coincidence, right?" Of course Liu Tao knew that when he saw this ambush, he had already thought about this issue.

"How do you say that?" Sun Jian also realized that something was wrong.

"General Cheqi just sent us to Qixian County to stand by and prepare for the decisive battle. When we came here, we found that there was an ambush here. If I didn't just find out, we would have been ambushed by now. After all, according to the information from the front line , The thieves are still cruising around Linjing County...how did they do it, set up an ambush here?" Liu Tao asked back.

Chapter 338

"It's not surprising, is it?" Sun Jian thought for a while. Although there was something strange about this matter, he didn't want to doubt his own people if possible. time."

In six days, if the thieves thought that the main force of the officers and soldiers knew the situation and went north to Anding County, then Qi County must be the only way to go, among other things.So setting up an ambush here is very reasonable.

"No one wants to doubt our own people..." Liu Tao nodded, "However, since the riots last year, the situation on the front line has been very strange for a long time. Now, maybe it’s better to take appropriate precautions.”

"Could it be Dong Zhuo who the general suspects?" Sun Jian knew it was not good to say it directly, but considering Huangfusong's order, he was the first thing that came to mind.
