It's just that Liu Tao's two military officers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, killed the enemy generals respectively, which can be regarded as a bright spot.Relatively speaking, Liu Tao, who was almost marching under the cover of personal guards, really had no sense of existence...

"Let's not talk about Wangdu County, it's remarkable to be able to see through the thieves' false surrender, and then turn defeat into victory. It's just the ability of his two righteous brothers to fight against the night attack in Puyin County, right?" Is it preconceived? Liu Yan felt that Liu Tao was lucky to find two outstanding generals, and tied them together with a sworn bond.

But this can be regarded as a point of ability. When Taizu raised his troops, didn't he just win over a lot of township parties?Let’s just talk about the 28 Yuntai generals under Emperor Guangwu’s command. It can be seen that what the old Liu family is best at is not knowing talents with eyesight?

"The first level is only about two thousand, and I'm ashamed to say that there are three thousand thieves... This Liu Tao, I'm afraid he is not very honest." Liu Yan frowned, and had a preconceived impression. At this moment, he felt that Liu Tao was a little bit uncomfortable. Mature, like to be overjoyed.

What is gratifying is that there are no old, weak, women and children in the first class, otherwise they would all suspect homicide.

"As for the horseshoe, it can reduce the loss of cavalry and benefit the country and the people. Stirrups and saddles... are just improvements and have little meaning. Let's talk about this horizontal knife..." Liu Yan picked up a horizontal knife.

The casting process of Hengdao must involve smelting. It took hundreds of years of ironmaking and metallurgy to create the powerful power of Tang Hengdao.Otherwise, there is actually no difference in shape between the horizontal knife and the ring head knife.

It’s just that Liu Tao’s blade has a slightly curved arc, thick blade spine, and a blood groove. In Liu Yan’s opinion, this can only be regarded as an improvement, but not an innovation.

He put down the horizontal saber, and then pulled out the Huan Shou Dao at his waist. This one has a curvature. In fact, the Huan Shou Dao like this had already appeared in the Han Dynasty, but it was not popularized. After all, the cost was relatively high, and the power increase was not obvious.

Compared with this one, the horizontal knife has a thicker spine and more blood grooves.This may be a good improvement, but in Liu Yan's view, Liu Tao is a bit grandstanding, pretending to be innovation with improvement.

"Fortunately, it was sent to me in advance, otherwise it would be sent directly to Luoyang, and the officials in the court would not laugh at it..." Liu Yan shook his head.After looking at these things on the book case, I weighed it...

"Horseshoes are of some value and can be sent to Luoyang for meritorious service. Keep the stirrups and saddles for a while, and then confirm the effect. There is no need to report the horizontal knife, and the cost is too high." Liu Yan first evaluated these equipment, He himself is not very happy with this kind of strange skills, and thinks that Liu Tao is "not doing his job properly", so he doesn't think highly of it.

As for the art of war, it's okay, it's very basic, but he feels that the content is superficial and needs to be 'perfected'.In the final analysis, it is just to catch the heat, stuff some private goods in it, and then send it over.

As for military exploits, the two battles can be counted, but considering that he is still going south...

"Let's do it this way!" Soon Liu Yan made a decision, and immediately wrote a letter, ordering someone to send it to Liu Tao, saying that the credit he made would be settled after the war.

After all, on the one hand, it is too troublesome to send this document back and forth, and the second war is not over yet, so there is no need to make a big deal about the local war. It is impossible to say that the reward was just sent here, and the reward was sent, and the person died in the next round. Isn't this a waste?

"Young man, you still need to practice more." Liu Yan muttered as he dried the ink and ordered someone to send it.

Chapter 74

"Report! We found an enemy camp five miles ahead!" A scout came to report to Liu Tao.

This was the first day of the expedition from Lunu County. Liu Tao did not use the 'acceleration technique' to increase the speed of the march. It took the army more than two hours to march for more than [-] miles. The scouts came back to report and found the enemy camp ahead.

This situation is the same as the camp encountered in Puyin County earlier.Between the cities and between the hills, set up such small camps with built-in wolf smoke as an early warning.In each camp, hundreds or thousands of people can also be set up, and with the city, the tactics that can be displayed are enriched.

"Anxi's county lieutenant should be a soldier." Lu Yan said with emotion.If it was an ordinary county magistrate, he might not have thought of setting up such a camp around Anxi.

"There are also Zhibing among the Yellow Turban Bandit?" Guan Yu replied casually, obviously dismissing the Yellow Turban Bandit's strength.

This is also true. Along the way, the so-called 'yellow turban thieves' they came into contact with either made the fighting the same as fighting in groups, or they rushed forward with more people, or they could be killed with two or three swords.

"The thieves made trouble for a month or two..." Liu Tao had a different idea, "They were not beaten in vain, they would watch, learn, learn the fighting methods of the Han army, and then make themselves stronger. On the contrary, Those of us who have had a smooth journey are basically relying on our laurels, and our understanding of war is very shallow."

Then he looked at Guan Yu and said, "Third brother, before we set up an army, we never systematically studied the art of war. No matter how many times we win, we must not forget this. Even, one day, we will become the most powerful generals in the world today. The God of War, who is victorious in all battles, must not be sloppy in every battle. Just like the opening words of "Sun Tzu": "Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be investigated."

"Brother, did you read "Grandson"?" Guan Yu immediately looked excitedly at Liu Tao, Zhang Fei, Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu, his eyes lit up, and his ears turned sideways, as if he was planning to steal a lesson.

"I know this sentence..." Liu Tao shook his head, then looked at Lu Yan, "Have you seen Canshan?"

"I've read it... that's good!" Lu Yan shook her head, "Really, I'm really incompetent as a military adviser, and I haven't even read the regular Art of War strategy."

"Haha, the so-called strategy is nothing more than a means of calculating the layout based on the situation of the enemy and ourselves. You have read so many maps, and then you know the situation of our army so well. The rest is nothing more than understanding the situation of the enemy army, and then based on the two The time gap, see how to arrange it, use the least cost to gain more gains, this is the strategy. If one person can't figure it out, just discuss it with three or four people. Worthy of a Jiang Taigong!" Liu Tao laughed.

Forget about Zhuge Liang, he seems to be only four years old these days...Kong Rong didn't know how to make pear until he was six years old.

"In general, 'Join the Army' is set up in the military, and that's the responsibility." Lu Yan nodded, of course he knew.

"Do you know how many people there are in the village?" Liu Tao then looked at the detectives.What I said just now is nothing more than avoiding Guan Yu, and gradually ignoring the enemy, but harming myself.So as long as there is a sign, find a way to kill it.

"The stockade is not big, with three to five hundred people, and it is still built on the basis of the village." Detective Qi replied.

"That is to say, most of them should be civilians, and a few are thieves... This is not a defensive stronghold, it is only used for guarding and early warning." Liu Tao heard the words, and already knew the enemy's reality.

I remember that some cities built near mountains or forests will have some camps around them, maybe five or six.Then use these five cities and this city as the basis to use various tactics.

Anxi County is built along the river, backed by Yishui, with only three gates in east, west and north.It is 75 miles away from Lunu County. I did not expect that 25 miles away from Lunu, and began to set up camps for early warning.

"Most of the camps like this are set up five miles apart. As an early warning, when encountering enemy troops, they should light the beacon. Such a relay can be passed to Anxi County in less than a quarter of an hour." Liu Tao pointed to the front , said to everyone.

He doesn't know much about marching and fighting, but he vaguely read this somewhere, it seems to be called "Cao Cao's Chef"...

"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized that they seemed to have learned a lot.

Just talking about this camp, not talking about the tactical significance, just saying that its early warning effect is very good. Know the enemy's movement in advance, and then respond quickly, so that you can take more initiative, instead of waiting for the enemy to approach the city. Passive defense city.

"Conversely!" Liu Tao thought for a while, "If we pull out this village without a sound, then the camp behind will naturally not know what happened here..."

"That is to say, when the enemy is used to receiving the warning of the beacon fire, they will not get nervous if they don't see the beacon fire..." Lu Yan also reacted, "Yide, can the cavalry unit go to battle?"

"Anytime!" Zhang Fei couldn't wait.

"The front camp, how prepared are you?" Liu Tao then looked at the detective cavalry, whether he can charge directly there depends on this.

"Ordinary camps, there is no such thing as repelling horses or pits..." The detective recalled carefully, the chief asked too much, but fortunately he has begun to get used to it.These days, it's really not good to be a scout with a bad memory.

"Yide, take down this camp for me!" Liu Tao ordered immediately.

"Here!" Zhang Fei took the order, counted the troops immediately, and started to march.Liu Tao was also unambiguous, and immediately cast a 'acceleration technique' on them.Under the blessing of this magic, it didn't take long for the cavalry unit to disappear from sight.

"So fast?" This speed greatly exceeded the expectations of Lu Yan and others, and they couldn't believe it.

"It's not surprising..." Liu Tao replied casually, "How can a human compare with a horse?"

A horse running at full speed must be able to run at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. If it is increased by 78% on this basis, it will reach a speed of [-] kilometers per hour. horrible!

"Wooha!" Zhang Fei was already in a good mood at the moment, and running so fast was only enjoyable, and he couldn't help shouting.

"General, if you don't keep your voice down, the thieves will hear it..." the head of the village next to him stepped forward to persuade him.

"Haha, even if we heard it, before they reacted, we had already rushed over!" Zhang Fei replied indifferently.Even so, he did not roar indiscriminately.

The distance of five miles is really not too far, especially for this group of galloping horses.Almost in a blink of an eye, on the horizon, the outline of a stockade was already seen.

"Raise your gun and follow me!" Zhang Feiping raised his spear and roared.The cavalry picked up their lances one after another, clasped their hands tightly, and put them under their armpits, ready to sprint.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Hurry up, light up the wolf smoke!" The yellow turban thieves stationed here noticed this army, and someone quickly shouted.

"It's too late! They are here!" Seeing that the cavalry troops were approaching, the thieves next to him burst into tears.

Chapter 75 Sudden Change of Situation

More than half an hour later, the large army blessed with the 'acceleration technique' came to the camp.The enemy army here has been wiped out, and the villagers have been ordered to hide at home and dare not come out.After the detectives confirmed that there was no problem, Liu Tao's headquarters entered the camp.
