Liu Fan silently began to prepare for tomorrow's attack.
Liu Fan really didn't have much impression of Liu Bei. In the past, Liu Fan was a consciously at the center of the court, well-informed and able to influence the situation, but now he can only rely on guesses and deductions.
Is Fei Qian that powerful now?
What kind of person is this Liu Bei who was defeated by Fei Qian?
In Liu Fan's memory, Fei Qian still looked like he did during the time of Li and Guo. Although he had some troops, he was still outnumbered by the old leaders in the court. And now the glorious old leaders seemed to have passed away.
For a long time, not even the Zhong family made any noise. On the contrary, Fei Qian, who had somewhat deviated from the central political arena back then, was getting better and better, and even Liu Fan felt a little envious after hearing this.
if……
Forget it, just focus on the present!
Liu Fan has only heard about Liu Bei's specifics. He has never encountered it and has no idea. But now, Liu Fan does not dare to take Liu Bei too lightly. At least he started from Jianning and arrived here. His original plan fell through.
Liu Bei's case forced Liu Fan and Gaoding to change their strategies and adopt a more risky and loss-prone way to fight. This illustrates some problems to a certain extent.
Although Liu Fan has held the title of Jiaozhou Governor for a long time, it is a pity that he did not get more soldiers and strength from this title. In exchange for such a title with his contribution to the suppression of Li Guo, at first he still had
He thought that he could connect with his father and at least use some of the power of Sichuan and Shu, but he never expected that Liu Yan would die of serious illness soon after, so that Liu Fan almost had to fight against Jiaozhou with his bare hands.
Fortunately, I got Liu Du's care, but this thing of favor will naturally become thinner if you use it.
Liu Du himself had to bear the pressure from Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and it was not like he could live a free life. So Liu Fan had to leave, otherwise he would inevitably be involved in the power and turf struggle between Liu Du, Liu Biao and Sun Quan.
among.
However, leaving Liu Du's territory is like a duckweed that has lost its source. Liu Fan doesn't know how long he can float in this troubled world.
Now if you want to take root in Sichuan and Sichuan, you must first remove the stones blocking the road.
It’s just that I don’t know whether this stone is as huge and unshakable as a mountain, or whether it is like a small gravel that collapsed on the mountain road...
Ambush is naturally the trump card of a large army in battle. Everyone knows this, but the problem is how to lure the opponent into an ambush. The best place for an ambush is naturally in this nameless valley, but Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others have never come in.
We need to think of a way, and Haute Couture's suggestion is undoubtedly the best move at the moment.
In this era, horrifyingly detailed maps like those of later generations did not exist at all. Only locals in the countryside would know some small roads that were rarely visited on weekdays. Therefore, after high-definition detours,
Liu Fan felt that there should be no problem. The key point was how Liu Fan could channel all Liu Bei's attractions in this direction and create more space for haute couture.
……(＞人＜;)……
Liu Bei was not familiar with this terrain. He had never been to such a mountain forest in the first half of his life. At this moment, he was standing in the camp, looking at the surrounding mountains, looking at the left half and the right half, white and gray.
, purple, black, various mountain rocks, even a large mountain with a tall rock rising abruptly, plus a layer of trees or shrubs, or a layer of ferns covering the rock.
Plants such as moss are like a large undulating green pustule on the ruined human tissue, which makes people feel extremely depressed just looking at it.
It's just that Liu Bei was upset, but he still controlled the expression on his face well. At least he still looked slightly smiling, amiable, and even somewhat confident.
After Ding Ze's baptism, neither Liu Bei nor Zhang Fei were unfamiliar with mountain and forest warfare. What was unfamiliar was only the surrounding environment.
Looking at the small valley mouth exposed by the twin mountains like a barrier, although scouts were dispatched for several days and some scouts from the other side were discovered, no trace of the other side's large army was ever found.
In this kind of mountainous area, the entire line of sight is blocked, and you can't see very far at all. And after walking for nearly twenty miles from the mouth of the valley, you haven't seen the exit. In such a place, just listening to the reports of the scouts is amazing.
Liu Bei felt very scared, scalp??.
This is simply an excellent ambush point...
If you were allowed to choose the place to ambush, you would definitely choose this place!
So Liu Bei didn't dare to move, not at all.
Brother!
Zhang Fei walked over with a naive smile, carrying something in his pocket. When he came to Liu Bei, he revealed it. They were two steaming bamboo tubes. Zhang Fei smiled naively, and there were
The mushrooms I picked! They are delicious!
Liu Bei laughed and asked the ordinary soldiers if they had eaten. After receiving a positive reply, he took a bamboo tube that was still a little hot and, like Zhang Fei, used his war robe to cushion it, ignoring the charred bamboo tube.
The originally not very clean shirt was dyed even darker.
In the mountains and forests, using local materials and eating rice in bamboo tubes was a new thing that Liu Bei was happy to accept.
Freshly cut bamboo often still has some moisture in the middle, then make a hole, stuff it with some rice, add some wild vegetables, a piece of bacon, and occasionally pick some edible mushrooms, and then put them in.
The hole in the bamboo tube is sealed, and it is buried around the campfire and roasted. When the green color of the bamboo tube fades and turns black, it is almost cooked.
After the bamboo tube was pried open, the fragrance of bamboo mixed with the fragrance of rice, bacon and mushrooms immediately came out, making Liu Bei's stomach growl.
Liu Bei was not polite, took a wooden spoon and started eating.
This is one of the few wonderful enjoyments located in the mountain forest, just like hanging outside the cliff and having a drop of honey on your lips.
Xianhe, how much food and grass do we have?
Liu Bei finished the last bit, then asked the guard to pour some water in, sloshed it around, drank it down, and then asked.
Jian Yong took out a piece of bamboo slip from his sleeve and said: There are still a hundred stones of coarse millet, and seventy stones of wheat. In addition, there are... If calculated according to the current cost, it can probably last for seven days. Save some more.
It can take ten days...
seven days...
Liu Bei whispered to himself.
Brother! Do you want to send someone to the back to push for supplies? Zhang Fei asked.
Liu Bei smiled and shook his head. What should be delivered will be delivered. This time, after so many days of delay, isn't the meaning obvious?
It's almost...I guess it's almost...
Liu Bei said slowly, not knowing whether he was saying that the food and grass were coming soon, or whether he was talking about something else.
……Σ(￣.￣?)?……
The second day.
dawn.
Liu Fan and his soldiers came out of their hiding place in the valley and swaggered towards the mouth of the valley. He needed to attract the attention of Liu Bei and others, so naturally he didn't need to cover his whereabouts.
Liu Fan used his eyesight to look over the cliff, but he still couldn't see anything clearly. There were only subtle shadows flashing in the forest. If he hadn't paid special attention, he might have mistaken even this shadow for an animal.
Or maybe it was lost in the mountains and mist.
Liu Fan looked back and saw that the soldiers following him were all soldiers he had worked hard to recruit from southern Jingzhou and South Vietnam. This time, they would also be sent to the battlefield, but he didn't know how much damage they would suffer.
Raising soldiers is a very expensive matter, even if it is dealt with casually. If the general is free to deal with the soldiers' pay, equipment and equipment, then the soldiers will be free to deal with the general during the battle. This is originally mutual, so there is less investment.
If you invest a little more, the results will be different.
Liu Fan has done his best in raising these soldiers, and now they are put to use. Why not use the Yiren? One is that they have left Gaoding. Although they can obey the command, they are not very flexible. On the other hand, if they are all used
Even if Gaoding's soldiers are defeated this time, they won't have anything to do with the next one. So this time the main attacker can only be themselves, and the Yi soldiers can support them with bows and arrows on both wings.
Besides, the mouth of the valley is so big that it can’t be used very widely.
Get ready! Liu Fan commanded in a deep voice, use some strength! Capture the camp, add wine and meat! The deeds of the head will be rewarded heavily!
Wei! These are warriors recruited from the south of Jingzhou.
Got it! Don't worry, Commander Liu! These are the people recruited in South Vietnam.
Liu Fan laughed, then raised his head and looked at the cliff in the distance. There was already a patch of pale white there. I believe that in another hour, the golden light will be bright!
Liu Fan seemed to have seen that bright golden light!
That must be the dawn of victory!
definitely is!
……(￣Д￣)?……
As it got closer and closer to Liu Bei's camp, Liu Fan's queue naturally attracted the attention of Liu Bei's sentry. While Liu Bei's sentry warned, he tried to delay Liu Fang's procession as much as possible. As screams were heard in the valley,
Echoing in the crowd, Liu Fang issued the order to attack.
Liu Fang's soldiers poured out from the valley, five of them formed a group, two held shields, two held spears, and one commanded in the middle. It was a very good structure, and it was very suitable for being in this kind of mountain forest.
It can be deployed on a small space on the ground and will not be too restricted by the terrain.
The Yi people were also howling on the side, and then jumped among the bushes. From time to time, they bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot at Liu Bei's soldiers.
The massive attack immediately drove back all Liu Bei's sentry posts and peripheral soldiers. Some Liu Bei soldiers hurriedly fled towards the base camp, but were killed by arrows fired from behind. Others were killed because they were unfamiliar with the road.
He stumbled over the weeds, and then Liu Fan's soldiers caught up with him, and they all shot out with swords and guns, and he died suddenly.
The progress went smoothly at first. Liu Fan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately loudly ordered his soldiers to rush out of the valley entrance, spread out as much as possible on both sides, clear the way of hitting the wood, and launched a fierce attack on Liu Bei's camp on the side of the valley entrance.
Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
The warning sound of the golden gong echoed in the mountains between the valleys, waking up countless birds, flying up into the sky and chirping non-stop, just like someone who was very tired of getting up was woken up.
Liu Bei glanced at the birds hovering over the cliff, and something seemed to move in his heart. Before Liu Bei could figure it out, Liu Fan outside the camp launched an attack without saying a word, interrupting Liu Bei's train of thought.
Level Luyan! Clear the road!
When running among the bushes, you are likely to encounter thorns and rattan. If you are not careful, it will feel like being cut with a knife or whipped by a whip. The pain is very painful, but Liu Fan
Most of the soldiers are used to running around in such an environment. Even if they are hit, they will frown slightly, not even react more, and just continue to rush forward with the wound!
Perhaps Liu Bei felt that this was just an offensive camp on the way forward, or for some other reason. Anyway, there were not many obstacles in front of the camp, so Liu Fan's soldiers were engaged in the battle in less than an hour.
After paying a certain price to go out, they cleared two roads and began to bombard the main entrance of Liu Bei's camp and the walls on the flanks, carrying wooden sticks with them.
Liu Bei's soldiers shot down on the stronghold wall, and the Yi people also fought back on both sides. As the sun gradually rose and the sight became brighter and clearer, both sides suffered considerable losses under the bows and arrows. Of course, there were
With the protection of the village wall, the losses on Liu Bei's side would be relatively less.
The screams one after another, accompanied by the roar of the impact, were like the wind in the mountains, suddenly hitting the mountain here, and then rushing to the other side. The soldiers on both sides were like felled trees.
, in the collision of metal, blood and life flowed.
You're just a mediocre person! In such a terrain, you don't camp properly! Liu Fan looked at the evolution of the battlefield and couldn't help but sneered, "I'll teach you to be a good boy today!"
Liu Bei's camp is along a relatively gentle hillside, from bottom to top. Although he can see the mouth of the unnamed valley, the approach is not as good as the camping mode that blocks the mountain road tightly. Now the front near the valley mouth is occupied by Liu Bei.
After Fan's sudden attack was dispersed, naturally he could only rely on the camp on the hillside for defense, which resulted in the current situation.
Liu Bei's soldiers threw a lot of torches, seemingly in an attempt to burn down the logs that hit the village gate and wall. However, the logs themselves were not dry, and were also coated with a layer of mud. Basically, they were not afraid of ordinary torches.
Therefore, not only was it unable to stop the impact of the collision, Liu Fan's men even picked up the torch and threw it back. It seemed to have ignited something, and two or three lines of black smoke rose up into the sky...
