"Big brother! Second brother!! Are you there!!!"
Zhang Fei let out a loud roar, which made the dust on the beams of the house plop and fall down.
"Hey...here, here..." Liu Bei quickly covered it up with his sleeves, but it was too late. He could only watch the dust on the roof falling on the drinks and dishes on the table.
"Third brother..."
Liu Bei looked at the wine bowl in his hand and saw a layer of fine ash on the wine bowl. He didn't know whether to drink or pour it.
"Third brother..."
With the same words, Liu Bei's tone was somewhat helpless, while Guan Yu's tone was full of threats, which made Zhang Fei tremble.
"Ouch..." Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, and then immediately came forward, "...Oh, it's my fault, this wine... was a waste, it's better for me to drink it..."
After saying that, he quickly took the wine bowl from Liu Bei's hand. He didn't care if there was any dust inside and took a sip. Then he took Guan Yu's wine bowl and took a sip as well. Then he poured the wine for the two of them again.
He looked at Liu Bei with a smile on his face, and then glanced at Guan Yu.
Speaking of which, Zhang Fei respected Liu Bei, but was more afraid of Guan Yu.
Because I can't beat it...
When thinking about this matter, Zhang Fei may have countless things he wants to talk about.
Actually, if we really have to fight, we still can’t tell who will win and who will lose, but, alas!
In terms of strength, Zhang Fei is not much worse than Guan Yu, but his explosive power is absolutely inferior to Guan Yu's. It's not that the two of them have never fought against each other, nor have they ever fought over some trivial matters, but the explosive power of his second brother Guan Yu is
Strong, he always suppressed Zhang Fei and beat him up at the beginning. When Zhang Fei regained his breath and was about to defeat Guan Yu with endurance, Liu Bei probably heard the news or movement, and then rushed over...
…
Wow, Zhang Fei wants to cry when he thinks of this.
Liu Bei rushed over. Naturally, he didn't want to see the brothers fighting, so he wanted them to stop.
Guan Yu had already finished enjoying himself, so of course he stopped.
But what about Zhang Fei?
There were also one or two occasions when Zhang Fei pretended not to hear because he was drunk or something, and then tried to take action, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu teamed up to do that...
What can Zhang Fei do in such a situation?
Zhang Fei was also very desperate. Over time, he developed a conditioned reflex, and his liver trembled when he saw Guan Yu...
When Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei had poured the wine, he had made up for his fault, so he didn't care too much, but said straight to the point: "I'm calling you here this time. Firstly, it's because you have worked hard during this period, and secondly, it can be regarded as comfort and comfort.
Well, I also have some ideas that I would like to discuss with you two worthy brothers... Come on, let’s finish this bowl first..."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly raised their wine bowls together. The three of them bowed to each other and drank down the wine in one gulp.
After the three of them drank a few bowls, Liu Bei put his chopsticks aside.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and put down their chopsticks.
"...recently, thanks to the hard work of two worthy brothers, I have some free time to read more..." Liu Bei said slowly, as if he was organizing his words, "...before, you and I, three brothers
, leading the troops to fight, actually speaking of it... is somewhat of a fluke..."
Zhang Fei stared and was about to say something. But Liu Bei nodded, stretched out his hand to press it, and then continued: "...Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say..."
"...When we first started, most of our opponents were Yellow Turban thieves..." Liu Bei raised his head slightly, as if he was nostalgic, and said slowly, "...those Yellow Turban thieves are actually almost the same as ordinary farmers.
All I have to do is grab a wooden stick and a bamboo spear and go into battle..."
As Liu Bei spoke, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also felt a little sad.
After the Taoyuan Three became sworn brothers, they fought all the way and worked hard to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, they never expected that their passion for serving the country would be insignificant in front of Shi Changshi.
Otherwise, the three of Liu Bei should be staying in the small county town at this time. One is a county captain, one is a horse archer, and one is an infantry archer. They patrol the city wall every day and get together with some wine when there is nothing to do...
It's better than fate to play tricks on people.
"...Sigh..." Liu Bei sighed and said, "...Later, running around, the opponents on the battlefield gradually became no longer those yellow scarf thieves...So, the two wise men
Brother, do you think it’s more difficult to fight now?”
Guan Yu squinted his eyes slightly, then stroked his beard, nodded and said: "What the elder brother said is exactly what Guan was doubting... In the battle a few days ago, our soldiers were not lacking in training, and the weapons were not poor, but this
Once a battle occurs, it will still be a lose-lose situation..."
Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he muttered: "The soldiers are still poorly trained! These bastards will always be lazy no matter how strict they are! Brother, second brother, I will go to the barracks later to train these bastards!"
Liu Bei nodded and said: "What the third brother said makes sense, but it only tells half of it... I read the book on the art of war two days ago, and there is a sentence I would like to share with my two wise brothers, the so-called 'know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles'..."
Zhang Fei sighed and said: "I thought that sentence, I know this sentence!"
Liu Bei smiled and asked, "What can you tell me?"
"What's the point? We just know our own situation and then our opponent's situation, and we can win every battle! Right?" Zhang Fei said, shaking his head.
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head slightly, and let out a slight "hum" to express his disdain for Zhang Fei's showy state.
"Yes! Yes! Third brother is right!" Liu Bei chuckled and said, "Then let me ask third brother, what is our situation now? And what is the situation of our opponent?"
"Ah? Our situation?" Zhang Fei blinked, and then got stuck, "Isn't our situation what it is now... The situation of this opponent, this, this..."
Guan Yu threw Zhang Fei a knife in the eye and said in a deep voice: "Shut up! Listen carefully to what my brother has to say!"
"...Yes, yes, yes..." Zhang Fei quickly sat down properly, "Brother, please speak, please continue..."
Liu Bei smiled and didn't take it seriously, and said: "...Actually, this is the problem... Our opponents have changed, but our fighting methods have not changed much, so now we feel a little difficult, or we are not capable..."
"The soldiers may be part of the factor, but I think there is something wrong with our fighting method..." Liu Bei said nonchalantly, then looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, indicating to him that he said this, I don't know what two people can do
Can't understand clearly.
Guan Yu nodded, as if he had some understanding. Zhang Fei seemed to understand, but didn't quite understand.
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "What is the biggest advantage of our brothers? Or what are the advantages of us compared with our opponents?"
Liu Bei didn't make any excuses, and said directly: "...Our advantage is...you two! Second brother, third brother, you two are enemies of ten thousand people, and entering and exiting the military formation is like no one's territory! And we
The fighting method should be developed around this!"
Liu Bei seemed a little excited.
It is actually meaningless to discuss a character's military capabilities or abstract strategic thoughts separately from military culture.
Liu Bei was not born with this knowledge, and even among Lu Zhi's students, he might not have had the opportunity to come into contact with this military knowledge. Therefore, his military and strategic abilities were all honed and summarized little by little.
After thinking about it again and again, when he came to the conclusion, Liu Bei was inevitably a little emotional.
To put it simply, Liu Bei started to fight in battle formations in his early years. He did not have his own methods, nor was he familiar with the layout of battle formations. He mostly relied on instinct and consciousness to fight. But now, Liu Bei began to
Summarized a set of effective tactics, which is to use Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as the important core, and then concentrate a small number of elite cavalry or infantry to directly attack the opponent's commander's formation from a suitable angle. Of course, it is best to tear open the gap and slash.
Killing the opponent's coach, if not successful, can also cause psychological panic to the opponent's coach, leading to abnormal command, and ultimately create a good opportunity for the army to advance together and work together to end the game.
This seems to be a very simple principle of catching the thief and the king.
Simple and crude.
However, there are some things that need special attention: firstly, this is not a common military formation method, and secondly, the risks of doing so are somewhat high.
Although this method of warfare is too risky for many people, for the northern border warriors of the Han Dynasty, it is the method they are most accustomed to. In other words, they do not think this is a risk, but
It just feels right.
Where is Liu Bei from?
Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou.
Guan Yu was from Jie County, Hedong, and Zhang Fei was also from Zhuo County, Youzhou.
Therefore, these three people all have the unique commonality of northern men, that is, bravery.
In the current period of time, in the process of fighting each other with the border barbarians, the Han people on the northern border have also integrated some of the barbarian fighting patterns. Not only Liu Bei, but even Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, etc. are similar.
Riding horses to kill and charge into battle, these northern men are at home on the battlefield. When facing legions with weaker combat capabilities in the Central Plains, directly attacking the opponent's formation has become their most basic and instinctive strategy. Now, Liu Bei will do this
Instinct strategies, summarize them, and prepare to systematize them to make them more organized and targeted.
The effectiveness of this tactic first depends on the combat effectiveness of the impact force. Once a capable vanguard force is mastered, this tactic can be easily replicated.
Especially when raiding the opponent's unprepared military formation, or attacking the flank of the opponent's military formation, this combat mode is particularly effective. No matter whether the attack is on the main formation or the flank, once the opponent's military formation appears
When chaos has arisen and it is confirmed that it is no longer possible to maintain the normal operation of the entire military formation, as long as the opposing generals are not reckless, they will usually choose to retreat temporarily, because even if one mobilizes troops from the other flanks to rescue them, it may not be possible in time.
, Secondly, if the army on the other side has just been transferred, and then another army appears again, it will be a devastating blow.
Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "Brother! I like this method!" It is simple and crude, and does not require brainstorming to arrange troops. Naturally, Zhang Fei likes it. Originally, Zhang Fei was not very good at commanding military formations.
, to arrange the infantry, to dispatch the left and right wings, to coordinate the attack, to replace the enemy with a certain degree, etc., it is as if Zhang Fei has one head and two heads. Now it is better, go straight to the enemy's main line, and behead the enemy with thousands of troops.
Among the thousands of horses, just listening to it makes me feel energetic all over!
Guan Yu was more thoughtful. After pondering for a moment, he said: "If we charge forward, who in the army can command and coordinate?"
Liu Bei pointed at himself and said with a smile: "My martial arts is not as good as the two wise brothers, but fortunately I have read some books, so I will leave the matter of arranging the military formation and cooperating with each other to..."
"Haha! Good! With big brother here, it must be the best!" Zhang Fei laughed and agreed.
Guan Yu also nodded slowly. With Liu Bei supporting him from behind, he felt most at ease.
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "To carry out this tactic, you must have an elite soldier... Ah, it is not the soldiers in our barracks now, it must be... Well, it must be strong and brave enough to follow the two of you.
My dear brother is charging into the battle... I wonder what kind of soldiers your two wise brothers want?"
"You have to think about this carefully. Once it is decided, it cannot be changed easily..." Liu Bei said, "...whether it is soldier equipment or training, different soldiers are different. If this is changed halfway, the losses will be huge.
It’s not half past one…”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded, and then began to think.
"... I am accustomed to using broadswords, and swords and spears are the foundation in a battle formation..." Guan Yu stroked his beard and said slowly, "If I can't teach other soldiers much, I will use a swordsman to learn first.
Just practice the Three Hundred School Swordsman!"
"The school swordsman..." Liu Bei thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed, "The school swordsman can advance and attack, retreat and defend. The second brother's choice is naturally the best... What about you, third brother?"
Zhang Fei opened his mouth and laughed loudly and said: "Of course he is the cavalry who wants to win! Don't need too much, three hundred is enough! Follow him to charge into the battle, and he will be invincible! It's so happy to think about it! So happy! Hahaha!"
Zhang Fei said happily, but Liu Bei's face was twitching.
This "doesn't need to be too much", "three hundred is enough", 300 horses, Liu Bei tried his best to scrape together, and he could still get this number, but these 300 horses must be mixed, and they have to be ranked first.
, it is a bit difficult to keep up with Zhang Fei's elite war horses who charge into battle together.
Everyone knows that the speed of a battle formation, whether it is cavalry or infantry, is often determined not by the fastest, but by the slowest. Poor horses will inevitably slow down the entire cavalry fighting speed, so once there is an injury or weakness,
The war horses must be replaced, which is also a very important reason for the large consumption of cavalry war horses.
And even more so!
"...This, third brother, look, this...can you change it to a spear?" After all, his family is still poor. Liu Bei smiled awkwardly but politely, "This war horse will not be easy for a while, otherwise...
Third brother, how about one hundred, one hundred horses?"
"Ah? Ah, ah..." Zhang Fei was not a stupid person after all. Seeing Liu Bei's appearance and receiving the glare from Guan Yu, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "...
...I just casually said, fifty, fifty is good, a spear will do, as long as you have a good spear..."
