41. What the protagonist does most often is to know that it is a trap but must
Zhang Liao has always been a person with strong action skills, so once he determined the target of the action, he immediately set off to start relevant preparation activities. Fang Yue wanted to say something to him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Liao disappeared at the door.
Traces.
Even Hua Xiong disappeared afterwards, making Fang Yue feel inappropriate even standing there, and even more inappropriate sitting there.
But even if I wanted to do something, I felt a little embarrassed, and in the end I could only sit there slumped as if I had given up on myself.
But his attitude has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Zhang Liao's operation went surprisingly smoothly.
When the whole army knew what kind of dangerous place their master was going to lead them into, they didn't show fear or worry, but instead looked a bit crazy.
Yes, crazy.
Although Zhang Liao was slightly surprised, in fact this reaction was not completely unexpected.
After all, these troops are not some other miscellaneous troops, but the elites who have followed him or Hua Xiong in the northwest in recent years.
Yes, these five thousand troops were basically either the elite soldiers brought to Bingzhou by Zhang Liao, or the elite soldiers under Hua Xiong. With the characters of these two generals, how could there be a coward among the elite soldiers recognized by them?
It can be said that Zhang Liao threw Fang Yue aside after winning Hua Xiong's support. Not only as Zhang Liao said, if the other party is not willing, it will be difficult to exert his due strength on the battlefield. It may even be because of the
Lack of courage at certain critical moments had very serious consequences. It was also because as long as he had the support of Hua Xiong, Zhang Liao could implement his ideas in this army. Even though such ideas were very risky, his subordinates never
Lack of adventurous spirit, of course Hua Xiong's.
Speaking of which, Zhang Liao also led his family's tribe into northern Xinjiang when he was a teenager and gained a huge reputation. It can be said that he had a very similar experience to Li Shushi, who started his military career at a young age.
However, compared with Li Shushi's experience of being "surrounded by stars", being well protected and almost without any danger, Zhang Liao's experience was obviously more dangerous and required him to have a sharper vision and decisiveness.
.otherwise horse
How could the Zhang family of Yi suddenly transform from a small tycoon hiding incognito in Mayi to a powerful tycoon capable of affecting all affairs in Mayi in just a few years? As long as Zhang Liao does not have any problems, three generations later
It has the potential to become a noble family.
At this point, even Lu Bu, the lone wolf in the grassland, is far behind Zhang Liao.
And this is also the reason why Xiaoqiang still spoke highly of Zhang Liao after he lost to Zhang Liao in the battle for Ding Yuan's cronies - it was a completely fair and honest confrontation. Although Xiaoqiang was super powerful, his overall quality was far behind.
Yu Zhang Liao. If Ding Yuan was not eager to clean up the traces left by Dong Zhuo, perhaps Xiaoqiang would have a greater advantage as a confidant with no connections. However, when Ding Yuan chose such a path, the result of the competition had already been achieved at that time.
Conclusion.
Therefore, Zhang Liao's bold and bold yet meticulous style made him very popular in the army. The soldiers were also willing to follow such a general to the battlefield, even if he wanted to make some risky moves -
What? Are you taking another risk? Hey. It’s not the first time. I rushed too slowly last time and didn’t get much credit. This time I won’t let those brats run rampant again, otherwise my boss Zhang, xx○○
Where to put your face!
This is probably the reason why the soldiers are so fanatical.
Although this operation was a largely exploratory attack taking advantage of the enemy's characteristic of "attacking at night and resting during the day", the second watch began to prepare food, and by the third watch, Zhang Liao had already left with a large force.
The county seat of Zheng County.
The target of their operation this time was Xiagui City, which was located not far from Zheng County and on the north bank of the Weihe River and belonged to Feng Yi County.
In fact, it stands to reason that if you want to share the pressure on Chang'an City, you should choose a place closer to Chang'an to take action. However, the stretch of more than a hundred miles from Xinfeng to Chang'an is all under the control of the enemy. Even if Zhang Liao and his men do not eat or drink, they will not
That physical strength can kill the entire company, and it is difficult for Chang'an City to detect the battle taking place in the distance during the day.
So after several discussions, Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong decided to take action against the enemies near Xiagui.
In this way, it can be determined whether the previous observations are valid, so that they can be used when the army arrives in the future. Secondly, if a relatively hearty victory can be achieved, then reporting the battle report to Jinyang and Chang'an can also improve morale.
However, due to the strangeness of the enemy, even if the enemy in Xiagui was probably not the main force of the enemy army, Zhang Liao and others could not help but be careless.
The night at this time was already slightly cool. The heat left by the sun on the earth during the day gradually caused condensed water droplets to appear in the air under the cool breeze at night. Although the fog caused was not large, it still made people feel
Wet.
The rainy season has long passed, and it has not even rained at all for a month or two. This has caused the Weihe River to dry up a lot. The originally wide river surface has also shrunk from the usual fifty feet (Han system) to
It is now less than thirty feet, and the depth of the river has gone from nearly five feet (Han system) to less than half a waist. It can be said that as long as you are careful about the mud at the bottom of the river, you can completely swim through it.
After all, at such a depth, it is not easy to drown even if you want to.
In fact, this is the case for the water systems in the north. Even the Yellow River, the largest water system, usually has a deepest point no more than three meters, and the same is generally true for other rivers. But if you underestimate the power of rivers because of this, then you must
will suffer a huge failure because of this, because it is just such a river that only
It only takes a heavy rain to cause rivers that are usually no more than a dozen meters wide to suddenly swell to more than a hundred meters. Even if the depth is doubled, it is not an exaggeration. The rapid river water is even more difficult to contend with. And therefore,
Only then will there be tactics to block the upper reaches of the river and suddenly release water at a certain period of time to destroy the enemy.
Of course, because of this characteristic, if there is no rainfall for several months, the water level of the river will be disturbingly low - just like now, soldiers on war horses can pass through the river in front of them without difficulty.
River, enter the designated place.
After Zhang Liao's troops crossed the Wei River, they were divided into two groups. Among them, Hua Xiong led about 2,000 troops to ambush in the dense forest where Baiqu merged into the mouth of the Wei River, while Zhang Liao led the remaining 3,000 troops to camp at the enemy's base in Xiagui.
place.
Taking advantage of the time, Zhang Liao managed to reach the vicinity of the enemy's camp when it was about half past midnight and the sky was completely bright.
The enemy's habits shown in the past few days can be said to be completely nocturnal creatures - they will only take action after Haishi when the sky has completely darkened every day, and when the time comes to Yin, they will stop all actions and return.
Arrive at the camp, and this action will basically be completed before the first ray of sunlight appears.
Although he didn't know why the enemy acted like this, Zhang Liao believed that this was definitely a place he could take advantage of.
Will the enemy stick to the camp and not leave? Or is this all an illusion, and today will be the day when the truth comes out.
The person responsible for coming to the enemy camp to call for formation was Zhang Liao's general Li Meng - the same one who came from Longxi and claimed to be a descendant of the famous Western Han Dynasty general Li Guang. He believed that his family was a direct descendant of Li Meng, who also claimed to be a descendant of Li Guang.
Jue was a former general of the Xiliang Army who had been fighting openly and covertly. He was the guy who took advantage of the situation to give Li Jue a counterattack during the Battle of Chang'an.
After the surrender, Li Meng's current position in the Bingzhou Army is not very prominent. At least his title of General is definitely not as majestic as his title of General in the Xiliang Army. However, compared with Cheng Yin, Ma Wan and others who feel resentful,
.Li Meng’s mentality is quite good.
After all, after Dong Zhuo encountered a conspiracy and Dong Zhuo died, Li Jue, a close associate of Dong Zhuo, after seizing power, could be said to have ridiculed and ostracized him a lot.
Can't survive today.
Not to mention that as Zhang Liao's subordinate, although his status has dropped a lot, he is surprisingly very popular with Li Meng. As mentioned before, Zhang Liao's personal charm is still very attractive at least to pure soldiers.
Powerful.
What actions will the enemy take to respond to my call?
Although under the leadership of Zhang Liao, everyone from the generals to the soldiers were fearless of death, Li Meng still felt a little bit uneasy about the unfamiliar enemies he was about to face.
Well, actually there are many.
After all, when I was in the Xiliang Army, my main opponents were the extremely ferocious Qiang people from the northwest, Zahu, but no matter how ferocious the enemy was, they were still human beings with a head and four legs, and they would never survive if their heads were chopped off.
Although the battle was hard, looking back now, it seems that a battle can be ended just by talking and laughing.
Therefore, Li Meng had felt for a long time that if Dong Zhuo had not passed away, the Xiliang Army would be torn apart. How could there be rumors in the world such as "The Bingzhou Army is the best in the world" or "The Xiliang Army is not actually the enemy of the Bingzhou Army".
Rumors.
But now after surrendering to the Bingzhou Army, Li Meng realized that the enemies of the Bingzhou Army had already reached the sky. Human beings could no longer satisfy their need to make achievements. Those non-talented people who transcended mortals were their targets to demonstrate their strength.
From this point of view, it is natural to say that the Bingzhou Army is stronger than the Xiliang Army. After all, they are not on the same level at all.
Well, uncle, you must have had some subtle misunderstandings.
But probably because of this, although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, Li Meng had no intention of avoiding or shrinking.
It is not only because of the brave foundation cultivated in the Xiliang Army, but also because now as a general of the Bingzhou Army, I feel that my level has surpassed that when I was in the Xiliang Army. I think that I can defeat my original self.
five.
Well, uncle, you must have gone astray.
"Li Meng, the general of the Bingzhou Army, is here. If you, the thieves, don't come out and surrender quickly, otherwise you will be completely destroyed!"
Facing the seemingly deserted camp, Li Meng not only went into battle in person, but the soldiers behind him also yelled and cursed. Although the content was not very new, the advantage was that his voice was loud and could probably be heard for miles around.
Dirty sounds.
The camp seemed completely unresponsive. Although the heavy antlers and the not-so-low wooden walls blocked most of the line of sight, people could only peek in from the camp gate, but apart from the gray-black tents, there was nothing visible.
A trace of a human figure.
Isn't this a bit abnormal? According to the information that the scouts have previously explored, even if the enemy army returns to the camp to rest during the day, there will definitely be enough soldiers left between the camps for guard changing and patrolling. In other words, it is impossible to have no soldiers at all.
A little reaction.
Could it be that there is fraud in it?
Seeing that he could not draw the other party out after scolding him for a long time, Li Meng fell into the embarrassment of being unable to move forward or retreat - not to mention what Zhang Liao would say if he retreated now, even he would feel embarrassed
Big loss, after all, such behavior is a bit cowardly before fighting. If you follow Dong Zhuo, you will definitely be made a laughing stock by everyone.
You will definitely be laughed at for a hundred years!
But rushing in as soon as the mind is hot? I always feel that it is not a good idea, especially when the opponent's camp behaves so weirdly, it makes people beat the drum from the bottom of their hearts. It is as if the camp in front of them is not a camp but a camp.
Dragon Pond and Tiger Lair.
Although there is actually not much difference between the two.
after all……
Looking at the camp in front of him, Li Meng, who could be considered a veteran, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the general in charge of setting up the camp from the bottom of his heart.
Just from the outside of the camp, you can see that the commander-in-chief is a serious and careful guy - although it is just a temporary wooden wall, it is very careful. At least in Li Meng's view, making such a wooden wall requires cutting down at least two rows of tree trunks.
, one row is longer and the other is shorter. Burn the bottom of the trunk and bury it into the soil about half of the way.
, among which the long tree trunks are the wooden walls seen outside. Inside are the shorter rows of tree trunks, so that if wooden boards are placed between the two rows of tree trunks, they will be divided into upper and lower layers - the upper layer can be grown using the long tree trunks.
Part of it becomes a protective wall to protect the safety of soldiers patrolling on the upper level, while the lower level can store weapons and armor, and of course can also hide soldiers.
With such a detailed layout, if Li Meng led his troops into the camp, they would probably be surrounded by soldiers rushing out of the wooden wall. At that time, even if he wanted to turn back and rush out, it would be extremely difficult. It was completely
The posture of catching a turtle in an urn.
"General, there is no way to go on like this." The guard beside him yelled and cursed loudly for too long. His originally hoarse voice had to work harder to make a sound loud enough for Li Meng to hear clearly.
Only then did Li Meng realize that so much time had passed when he was hesitating.
Can't hesitate any longer!
"Since the enemy intends to be a coward and a coward, let's show them what true bravery means!"
After saying that, Li Meng didn't care about everyone's attitude. He took the lead and rushed towards the strange camp.
Of course, the antlers and other things had to be moved to the side, and a seemingly wide road was opened up.
So even Li Meng is actually a little smart. Or we can say that he is practicing the idea of "thinking about defeat before winning" in the art of war. Maybe he will listen to more lectures in the military academy in the future. In time, Li Meng can also
Become a master of war.
Well, these are all delusions in my mind. The most important thing right now is to test the depth of the unknown enemy.
This is the most important mission that he and the hundreds of soldiers around him shoulder (note).
He rushed in and then backed out.
Okay, please don't misunderstand that Li Meng's children's shoes are some kind of coward. When he touches the trap with half of his foot, he quickly retracts it and then shouts "I stepped on the trap, so I have to dodge" like a plankton.
existence.
So the only reason why he rushed out again was that he had indeed stepped into the trap.
In fact, Li Meng didn't think about showing a very brave look to face the enemies who suddenly appeared around him, even though those guys were all wearing black burqas, and they felt like they were in a mud puddle.
It was like rolling around and was wrapped in a thick layer of mud. At first glance, I thought it was a group of moving clay sculptures.
In fact, Li Meng is not completely unfamiliar with the thing in front of him. If he carefully looks through his memory, he can find the relevant content from the deepest corner - that is what happened when Li Meng followed Dong Zhuo to conquer the Yellow Turban Army.
.
Of course, that time it was necessary to accept the thankless task of replacing Lu Zhi, who "refused to cooperate", to complete the final blow against the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, from the beginning, the Xiliang Army had the idea of containing water.
However, one has to admit that those wooden men and clay dolls who were also inhuman under Zhang Jiao's control at that time were definitely quite terrifying weapons.
Yes, they are completely different from the guys in front of them who seem to have independent thoughts. Those wooden and clay puppets are just puppets, but even if they are puppets, they still make these proud Xiliang soldiers feel tremendous pressure.
Although it can be excused by saying that they let go, the Xiliang Army knows very well how difficult those puppets are to deal with - the wooden figures have hard-to-find spikes on their bodies, and they will be killed if they are not careful.
When the body is injured, it is likely to be infected with troublesome toxins, and if not treated in time, there is even a risk of death.
As for those earth puppets, although I don’t know if they have the same ability as the guys suspected of being earth puppets in front of me, at least the earth puppets under Zhang Jiao’s control are simply terrifying wherever they go - not only are their bodies extremely hard, but the most important thing is the strength of these earth puppets.
The attacks are very strange. Every attack will make the brain feel inexplicably dizzy. If you don't pay attention, you may lose touch with the large army and be stunned on the battlefield.
Needless to say, everyone knows the consequences of being stunned on the battlefield.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo's defeat due to the desperate counterattack of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao was by no means a simple false defeat.
The painful memories end here.
So even if Li Meng pretends to have seen a natural enemy at this time, please don't laugh at him. He just made the decision he thought was the most correct.
Note: So the most helpless part in the game is that there are some traps that you clearly know are there, but if you don’t step on them, you will never be able to advance the plot. The same is true for the characters that have been modified to the top level with modifiers.
But you can't win a losing battle - even if you win, it's usually not a good thing, because the computer program will always be more patient than you. (To be continued...)
