Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 49, Hero of the Feather Forest

late at night.

"Sun Wentai bravely defeated the three armies today and defeated the enemy. He should be remembered as a great contribution."

In the Chinese army's tent, Huangfu Song was the first to praise Sun Jian by name, and then said: "Meng De made a decisive decision when facing the enemy and led his troops to rescue in time. It is also a great achievement."

"Yuan Shao coordinated the work well and also recorded his merits."

…

At the scene where merit was discussed and rewards were given, Liu Bei and Guo Jia seemed like outsiders.

Fortunately, Huangfusong added one last sentence.

"Of course, everyone performs their duties and has their merits."

This was a casual statement, but Liu Bei accepted it calmly. After all, their entire army had been basking in the sun for a day, and there was no credit but hard work.

Huangfusong suddenly looked at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Can Fengxiao come with me tomorrow, just to see how the disciples of Decao's disciples can organize their troops?"

This is an invitation and an affirmation of ability.

Today is a battle between the forward troops of both sides, and tomorrow will be the decisive moment.

Guo Jia secretly complained about his teacher's connections and said with a smile: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear."

——

"I don't believe that Sun Jian is that powerful. Can his swordsmanship be comparable to that of my second brother?"

Zhang Fei had no problem with lying down all day today. He was full of complaints because of his excessive energy, and he was a little unconvinced in his words.

Guan Yu changed his usual pride and shook his head and said: "Third brother, please don't talk nonsense. Sun Wentai is indeed a rare warrior on the battlefield, and his Jiangdong Army is even more impressive."

The ferocity of a general is not only reflected in his martial arts, but also related to his fighting style and the combat effectiveness of his troops.

The reason why Sun Jian is called Jiangdong Tiger is because he not only championed the three armies bravely, but also the troops under his command were famous for their ability to fight.

When there was a rebellion in Xiliang, he became famous in one battle. The Xiliang army, which was famous for its fierceness, was actually defeated by him.

Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he also respects such heroes regardless of martial arts. This is an affirmation of this man.

At this time Guo Jia said: "My lord, tomorrow I will be living in the central army with General Huangfu, so... I have a message."

"It doesn't matter if you say it's filial piety."

"Regardless of whether Zhang Liang adopts the strategy of breaking through from the rear, my lord, please be careful. If this battle is defeated by our army, all previous efforts will be in vain."

If you were defeated by your opponent using the same tactics, it would be really ridiculous.

"Fengxiao, just don't worry." Liu Bei accepted this advice calmly. What he was thinking was that Fengxiao didn't know about his previous life as a soldier, so the special reminder was out of good intentions.

Zhang Fei also patted his chest and promised: "Commander, just don't worry, I'm here with Zhang Fei. If Zhang Liang dares to come, he will never come back."

A night of silence.

——

The next day, when the morning sun rose slowly, both sides entered the designated battlefield, and the smoke of war enveloped the earth again.

Guo Jia followed Huangfu Song to the Central Army and stepped onto the general command platform that was several feet high.

As the saying goes, you can see far from the height. From this height, you can see the battlefield situation to the maximum extent.

Of course, such a height is not enough to fully see the enemy's and ours' formations. In the end, it is necessary to rely on scouts to continuously pass on intelligence, and then analyze the enemy's troop deployment and formation.

This is also the way to be a general, using your own insight and sense of smell to fight against the enemy's general.

Therefore, there is also a saying that "playing chess is like playing a formation, and the chessboard is like a battlefield."

Arrangement of troops is actually similar to playing chess. Through various information analysis, one can infer the opponent's next move.

If the combat power of the two armies is not much different, it will particularly test the general's ability to coordinate the overall situation.

Huangfu Song smiled and said: "Fengxiao thinks, what kind of formation should our army use to face the enemy today?"

Guo Jia thought for a moment and then blurted out.

"Flying Geese Array."

There is never an invincible formation in this world. Each formation has its advantages and disadvantages. Only by knowing how to adapt to the situation can you be invincible.

The advantage of the Flying Geese Formation is that it can maximize the power of bows and arrows, and its flaws are also obvious. Once the middle is broken, the entire army will be in danger.

Therefore, this formation requires a strong infantry to defend the center.

The Yulin Army of the Han Dynasty was dominated by its heavy armored infantry. In addition, the Han Army's arrows were inherited from the pre-Qin Dynasty and were invincible.

The most striking example is that hundreds of years ago, Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guang, led five thousand infantry troops of the Han Dynasty deep into the desert, dealing with ten times the number of enemies and killing countless enemies.

Although the army was defeated in the end, it also showed the heroism of the Han infantry.

Huangfu Song praised: "As expected of De Cao, Feng Xiao really knows the advantages of our army."

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "The general has been praised too much. Many people must know what the advantages of the Han army are."

"You are so humble." Huangfu Song smiled, then turned to look at the messenger on the side.

"Instruct the three armies to arrange their formation in formation."

"Here!"

The command flag was waved, and the neat and orderly phalanx began to move slowly, like a giant war beast with fangs spread.

Smoke and dust were billowing, the steps were neat and powerful, and accompanied by unanimous slogans, before long, a distinct formation was formed.

Guo Jia looked around and couldn't help but be shocked by the rigorous execution. He sighed: "Although Jia has heard about the affairs of Wei and Huo since he was a child, he saw it with his own eyes today and was impressed by the power of our great Han army."

It's a pity that a hundred years of war have exhausted the Han Dynasty's heritage.

Sima stole the country, but brought shame to China.

The Yulin Army is famous for its strict military discipline, so what is the style of the Border Cavalry, which is famous for its toughness?

Guo Jia is looking forward to it.

Huangfu Song didn't know what he was thinking behind, but he couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Today's Yu Lin Army is still slightly inferior to that of the past."

Guo Jia knew in his heart that he was referring to the peak period of Hanwu, the Guangwu period. At that time, the Yulin army was all selected from the elites at the border and was known as the first elite of the Han Dynasty.

He didn't say anything. The loneliness of the empire did not allow him, a Confucian scholar, to point fingers.

Huangfu Song did not continue this topic. If it reached the ears of interested people, it would be a big or small matter.

At this time, Guo Jia felt a shock under his feet, but it was the high platform he was on that was pushed by the Han soldiers below.

They began to march. The Wild Geese Formation was originally an offensive and defensive formation, but it had extremely high quality requirements for the soldiers under its command.

The three armies moved together, but the overall square formation was still tight. The military quality of the Habayashi Army was undoubtedly demonstrated.

Facing such a powerful army, the Yellow Turban Army's chances of winning were really slim.

At the same time, Sun Jian and Yuan Shao at the forefront had already led their troops to fight against the Yellow Turban forward army.

The battle reports from the front kept coming to his ears, and as expected, Yuan Shao was overshadowed by Sun Jian's light as always.

If we were talking about the talents of the two as masters, Yuan Shao might be better, because Sun Jian is too strong, and it is easy to break if he is too strong.

It is the general's job to charge into battle. Sun Jian died young, largely because he did not complete the transformation from general to leader of the people.

Even his descendant Ce was influenced by this style of conduct.

However, as a general, Sun Jian indeed left Yuan Shao far behind.

It was a huge gap until the back could no longer be seen.

"Send an order to Sun Jian to slow down his advance."
