In September of the second year of the first peace.

The war clouds that have shrouded the land of Hebei since spring have finally reached the moment of full-scale eruption. Around the center of the war in Leping and Liaocheng on the north bank of the Yellow River, countless soldiers and horses approached each other, or waited for the opportunity, or fought endlessly with each other, and the entire land of Hebei was involved in the war.

Beacon smoke, covering the sky and the sun!

Just in a hundred miles around Liaocheng, more than 100,000 troops have gathered! Among them, there were 30,000 Cao troops under the command of Cao Cao, 5,000 Qingzhou Qifeng battalions led by Wang Yu and hundreds of light cavalry; The main force of 15,000 Youzhou infantry led by Tian Kai.

To the south, there were 30,000 Yanzhou troops stationed in Chiping City on the south bank of the Great River, led by Liu Dai.

To the west, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Gao Ran in Guantao City;

To the north, there are 8,000 foot soldiers led by Liu Bei;

A little farther away, there are 5,000 remnants of Zhangjaw in Yanxian County, and 4,000 Qingzhou troops under the command of Yu Ban in Licheng.

These soldiers and horses can join the Leping battlefield within three to five days.

Farther away, Yuan Shaozheng led three coalition armies, nearly 50,000 troops and fought a fierce battle with Zhang Yan's 100,000 Black Mountain thieves;

Farther away in Youzhou, the wolf smoke rising from Xu Wushan has lasted for nearly a month!

Although Hebei is large, it cannot find any place, and it has not been affected by the war.

"Woo...... Woohoo......"

The flag waved, and the long wind whimpered; The trumpet sounded, and the mournful voice was desolate.

On a sunny and crisp day after the rain, the flames of war were ignited again.

"This annoying rain has stopped, and after a delay of several days, my body is almost rusty."

Tai Shici complained while shaking his arm, and then took a deep breath and felt the cool breath in late autumn, and then smiled: "Autumn is crisp and sunny, it is a good weather to fight." Gongming, you're okay, when I capture that big black man, you will lead the army to kill it, and we will win. ”

Xu Huang shook his head coldly: "It's hard to say." ”

Tai Shi Ci didn't like to hear this, his face was flat, and he asked rhetorically: "Why is it not easy to say?" ”

"Don't forget the words of the lord, the Cao army is not unprepared, even if our army does not move, they are likely to launch a full-scale offensive today, and the situation is quite grim. I don't know how long this battle will take, Ziyi, it's better for you to keep some strength. ”

The outcome of the heads-up will not have a decisive impact on the war, and it is the strategy of both sides that will determine the direction of the battle. Wang Yu and Jia Xu were full of confidence in the strategy they discussed, but Xu Huang had cautious reservations, that strategy was too complicated, and if I had to say it, it was a strategy that was close to improvisation.

The more complex the strategy, the more difficult it is to execute and the more likely it is to be surprised.

Xu Huang didn't mean to raise objections, but this war was about the survival of Qingzhou, and he couldn't be so calm as Wang Yu, and he couldn't handle it as calmly as Jia Xu, let alone think about nothing like Tai Shici.

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't talk about fighting, even if you keep fighting for three days and three nights, I won't frown." Tai Shici patted his colleague on the shoulder and said with a grin: "Gongming, Rao is Cao Cao and Liu Dai are treacherous ghosts, and they also have to drink the footwashing water of the lord and the military advisor, don't think too much, how can I win, haha." ”

Tai Shici's words were too strange, Xu Huang couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head, and walked away. In Yu Ban's absence, the responsibility of marching and arranging the formation fell on him, and he didn't have time to talk to Tai Shici here.

"Wenhe, do you think Cao Cao has a plan? If you win, which routine is it? "In the Central Military Department, several carriages are put together to create a high platform more than half a person high, and the right is the command platform, Wang Yu and Jia Xu are also having a conversation with very strange content.

"It looks like it's going to fight, it's really fighting." From the moment the two armies approached each other, Jia Xu had been squinting his eyes to observe the enemy formation, and at this moment he had already reached a conclusion.

"Cao Cao laid out a yoke formation, which could meet the enemy from the front, left and right at the same time, and fought with the idea of defending first and then attacking. He placed the Jizhou army of the Lu Kuang brothers on the right front flank, obviously out of security considerations, even if our army had surprise troops, it was impossible to appear from that direction. ”

Jia Xu pointed to the enemy formation and explained: "The general who commands the left rear flank, that is, the direction that is most vulnerable to surprise attacks, is Le Jin, this person's style of using troops is similar to Wen Ze, and the formation is very tight, with him, even if he is attacked, he must be able to resist stubbornly, giving the Chinese army time to react." ”

The yoke, which is the crossbar in front of the car, is X-shaped. The X formation is a formation that Wang Yu is very familiar with, because later generations of special forces often use this formation for squad operations.

The advantage of this formation can be seen from the shape, the enemy attacking from any direction will face the attack of troops from both flanks at the same time, and it is the most effective defensive counterattack formation.

The disadvantage is that the formation is more complicated, the difficulty of command is relatively high, and there are quite high requirements for the training degree of soldiers and the command of the commander.

This formation can also be changed, and there are still a lot of doorways to change, and the biggest mystery lies in the coordination between the flanks and the Chinese army, which can be achieved by rotation and retraction.

Cao Cao has been in Leping for more than half a month, and he has been practicing the formation, obviously preparing for this.

He placed the Jizhou army, which was not very proficient in cooperation, in the front army, as if he wanted to use them as cannon fodder, but in fact he was protecting them. The battlefield was on the north bank of Luoshui, and no matter where Wang Yu's strange soldiers appeared from, they could not hit the right front flank of Cao's army.

In this battle, Cao Cao can indeed use the Jizhou army as cannon fodder, but that will form a weakness, as long as Wang Yu focuses on the junction of the two armies, he can achieve quite good results. If the strange soldier exists, the most violent blow will be hit on the Jizhou army, and it is very promising to defeat the Jizhou army in one fell swoop, and then drive the soldiers to charge into battle.

Therefore, Cao Cao put his friendly troops in this seemingly dangerous place, and placed Lejin, who was the best at defense, in the most dangerous position. If Wang Yu has a surprise soldier, he will use it as a defensive line, and if he doesn't, he will use it as a reserve.

On the rear wing on the other side, the main will be Cao Ren. This person is still not famous, but in later generations the reputation is not small, is Cao Wei Eight Tiger Riders among the number one person, after the battle of Chibi, once Cao Cao led the main force back to Xuchang, Sun Liu teamed up to counterattack, and Zhou Yu fought back and forth, so lively, although the end lost Jiangling, but held the North Jingzhou, including Xiangyang.

On the other wing of the front army, the main will be Xiahou Yuan. For Wang Yu, it is another familiar name, Xiahou Yuan's military exploits are mainly established in Xiliangping Ma Chao, this person is good at long-distance running with soldiers, and should be a general who is good at using cavalry.

However, what Wang Yu remembers most is not Xiahou Yuan's life, but his destination. It's a pity...... Huang Zhong is not here, otherwise it would be interesting.

"That's Plan C?" Wang Yu nodded, shook his head again, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Wang Yu's plan is similar to what Cheng Yu guessed, but it is much more complicated than he guessed, and it should be regarded as a continuation of Zhang Jaw's psychological warfare.

Basically: how the enemy responds to the invasion of troops, and according to the enemy's reaction, take corresponding restraint measures.

Among the two enemies, Cao Cao is the hero of the world, but Liu Dai is a mediocre talent.

The employment of people is less reliable than Yuan Shao, so most of the staff and generals under his command are the kind of celebrities who are too famous and can only talk loudly. Let them talk about the world and point out the country, that is a top trick, let them strategize, but they will be blind.

Therefore, Wang Yu must first contain Cao Cao and prevent him from moving freely before he can carry out the follow-up plan.

According to Cao Cao's response, Jia Xu prepared corresponding countermeasures, arranged according to A, B, C, D.

What Wang Yu expects most can be applied is, of course, the number A, which is the most beneficial plan for the battle situation. But the problem is that Cao Cao doesn't seem to have the intention of cooperating, and he may not even be able to use Plan B, so he can only settle for the next best.

Jia Xu thought this was good, and said with a smile: "It's okay to do this, it's easy to give up, and it's not the right way to war." After thinking about it, he added with a worried face: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, he broke the plan, but he pretended not to know, and he had to pull our army even if he suffered heavy losses, so it would be troublesome." ”

Cao Cao is not open jaw, and his intelligence is not as closed as open jaw, so if you want to deal with him like open jaw, it will definitely not work. In fact, although Wang Yu is very confident, Jia Xu has always been a little apprehensive, and the basis for the realization of Plan C is based on a premise.

Of course, this premise has its own truth, but it is difficult to say to what extent Cao Cao will take care of the overall situation, no matter how Jia Xu can understand people's hearts, he can't confirm this 100%.

"Rest assured, rest assured." Wang Yu waved his hand aggressively, to the extent to which Cao Cao took care of the overall situation, Jia Xu didn't know, but he knew very well that the premise of the plan would not be wrong.

Xu Huang made a gesture to signal that he was ready, Wang Yu nodded, and when he looked up, he saw that the opposite array was tightly organized, the banners were clear, and only a few places were still being fine-tuned, and they were obviously ready.

Considering that the yoke formation itself is more complicated, Cao Cao's command power should be higher than Xu Huang's.

"It's almost time to start...... In the gale, Wang Yu slowly raised his hand, and all the generals held their breath and condensed, only Tai Shici looked excited.

At this moment, the door of the enemy formation suddenly opened, and a group of knights surrounded a red-robed general and left the formation. After a short walk, another horse came speeding up, and when it was about to enter range, he spread his hands on his horse, controlled the horse purely with his legs, and galloped sideways while shouting.

"It's the messenger!" Xu Huang made a hint, opening his hands to indicate that he had no weapons, obviously the other party had something to say.

"Hear what he has to say?" Wang Yu was a little curious.

"If you want to fight, why do you say so much?" Tai Shi Ci was very impatient.

Xu Huang automatically filtered Tai Shici's complaints, and before the order array, people stepped forward to answer, and the efficiency of both sides was very high, and the information was quickly fed back.

"Cao Cao wants to invite the Lord to meet in front of the Lord's Array!" (To be continued.) Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
