Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3342 Whose role is the role of the role

The troops led by Bao Zhong walked slowly at the beginning and deviated from the main battlefield. They were under a plateau and were about to cross the gully between the plateaus. As a result, before they had time to climb up the opposite plateau, they saw the cavalry army launched such a counterattack!

The cavalry spread their arms and sandwiched the Cao army soldiers who were chasing and advancing.

The cavalry cavalry was galloping on the periphery, advancing and retreating freely. They could charge repeatedly, retreat to rest their formation, and then use arrows or javelins to break the defense of the Cao army soldiers again, and even launch trampling and collision!

And those surrounded Cao army soldiers were compressed into a group, interfering with each other for a while. Not only were they in a dilemma, but even the orders were unclear and the dispatch was disordered!

General Bao, who was just slacking off, looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to say or do for a moment...

The battlefield deployment of the cavalry, the ability to attack in a dispersed manner, and the tactics of coordinating on horseback, this is what really shows the ability of elite cavalry!

Just now, they were ambushed by Cao Hong's catapult. This was certainly because Xu Chu was not cautious enough, but who would have guessed that Cao's army had prepared a catapult?

Well, there was one.

And most of the keyboard warriors would just shout loudly, "Cao's army is so powerful, Cao's army is so strong, Cao's elite troops are so powerful?" Then let these keyboard warriors come up with a little bit of suggestions and solutions, and they would just stare, throw their sleeves, blow their beards and stare, saying it's boring, what's all this, and you still have the nerve to ask after fighting like this?

What's more, they were disgusted in the first chapter, and they still disliked it after reading more than 3,000 chapters. In addition to disgust, they still disliked it.

Perhaps in the daily life of such people, they only use disgust to express their emotions, right?

Understandable.

'See?' Conglai stood beside Bao Zhong, 'When the time comes, we will turn around and fight again, and in the blink of an eye, we will go from weak to strong! Such troops are called cavalry!'

In Conglai's eyes, there was a rare fluctuation of emotion and excitement...

This cavalry is indeed the most powerful army in the world!

Bao Zhong remained silent.

Suddenly ambushed and attacked, with the general flag unknown in the middle of the battle, they still kept their spirits, and after a short rest, they were able to re-inspire the battle. If it weren't for his personal experience, Bao Zhong would never believe that there was an army that could do this!

'General Bao, you can disbelieve me, but you can't disbelieve the cavalry...' Conglai's eyes seemed to reveal an extremely complicated look, 'In this world, in this world, only the cavalry can end this chaos... No one else can, no one can...'

'You, who are you?' Bao Zhong gritted his teeth and whispered, 'Tell me, who are you? You are definitely not just an ordinary military school! '

Nonglai laughed, 'It's not important... General, what's important now is what you are going to do? '

Bao Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then his mouth twitched, 'No, no, no! My Dalang is still in the camp, I can't...'

'Uh, huh? 'Nonglai was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed, 'I didn't say that I had to abandon the dark and join the light now... I mean, right now... do you see those besieged soldiers? If you rescue them now, will they be grateful to you? Will they owe you a favor? '

'Ah? ! ' Bao Zhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, 'You said, what did you say? '

'Don't worry,' Conglai looked up at the dazzling sun and smiled, 'It's just in time to contact... It can be regarded as a credit to the general... General Bao, this wealth has always been sought in danger, it depends on whether you have the courage! '

In the distance, the cavalrymen were strangling the trapped Cao army soldiers, while the other Cao army soldiers outside the encirclement did not dare to make any moves...

Well, it was not that they did not react, but after a brief moment of shock, they turned around and ran away, leaving behind the trapped Cao army soldiers and comrades.

It was like a group of people suddenly encountered a python in the jungle. The python wrapped around one of the group of people and was strangling him, while the others were screaming in panic and running away, completely forgetting that if a group of people rushed forward, even if they could not kill the python, they could at least give the strangled person a chance of survival.

But...

Anyway, it was not me who was strangled!

Whoever falls in love with it will do it!

Bao Zhong looked at the large group of blood splashing in the yellow dust in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little scared, but when he thought of his own Dalang's condition getting worse and worse, and howling and groaning in the camp...

'Line up! 'Bao Zhong shouted, holding up his sword, 'Everyone line up! Prepare to meet the enemy! Save our comrades! '

...

...

War is bound to involve consumption.

Just like the pieces on the chessboard, it is necessary to start with the exchange of pieces to open up the situation and finally determine the outcome.

In the initial stage, the damage of both sides must be similar.

You take one of my soldiers, and I take one of my pawns, but as the game unfolds, the difference in damage between the two sides will become obvious, and then it will snowball, and eventually one side will completely collapse.

So in the forward battle, the two sides are competing to see who can dampen the other's spirit and take the lead in the future decisive battle.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Fei Qian, these two chess players are competing and testing each other in the battle in Hedong, just to have more confidence and winning rate in the final battle!

This war will generally determine the future fate of the East and West. Both Xu Chu and Cao Hong are doing their best to fight for their side!

In this process, people who want to have a large number of soldiers are actually the same as those who only think about F2A. They are not suitable for complex strategies on the battlefield, but are more suitable for single-minded things.

Just now, Cao Hong made a sudden attack, Xiao Tuoqiao was riding a horse, and Xu Chu also knew that this forward battle was far-reaching, so he gave up his unnecessary pride in the blink of an eye, and gave up the command of the cavalry, letting Li Li, who was better at cavalry combat, take over. The cavalry unit showed the true ability of the hussars in an instant and regained the initiative!

Now it was Cao Jun who was in embarrassment.

Cao's army had a small victory just now, but it was indeed possible to give it up as soon as it was good, and return to the camp while maintaining the psychological advantage over the hussars. As a result, Cao Hong was a little greedy. Although he did not send out the leading cavalry to pursue again, he still wanted to test the strength of the hussars. As a result, Cao Hong's soldiers who were chasing him were intercepted by the hussars again...

"General, do you want to send out the cavalry?" 』

The guard beside Cao Hong asked eagerly.

Only magic can defeat magic, and only cavalry can defeat cavalry.

Now it is obvious that these small soldiers of Cao Jun do not have much ability to fight back before the hussars, unless it is...

"What are you doing over there?" Who is that? Bao Shuyi? What's going on? 』

Cao Hong suddenly saw some of Cao's soldiers going upstream, forming an array and approaching the Hussars. In the array, Bao Zhong's flag was flying high!

Cao Hong's original plan was to send Bao Zhong and other fringe characters to fight, not only to test the strength of the Hussars' front army, but also to test the strength of Bao Zhong and others.

If you don't advance, if you don't listen to orders, if your friendly forces are in trouble and don't come to your aid, no matter which one it is, you can take out Bao Zhong and others!

But now it seems...

Could it be that the suspicion about Bao Zhong was wrong?

Cao Hong couldn't help but fell into doubts.

This Bao Zhong was slow and sluggish before. Could it be that he had foreseen the current situation, so he deliberately took the outside line and had enough space to form a formation to resist the hussars?

hiss……

If so, this Bao Zhong is really a talent!

But why didn't Bao Zhong show up before?

Could it be that the previous battlefield was not big enough, not intense enough, and not dynamic enough, so it failed to demonstrate Bao Zhong's ability?

Now it is obvious that the hussars still have some room to spare, and they have not used all their troops to encircle and suppress the Cao soldiers. The cavalry on both wings are staying away. If the leading cavalry is dispatched to attack, there will be only one result...

The cavalry faced off in a field battle.

And can the leading cavalry under Cao's command compete with these hussars?

Cao Hong sighed slightly. At least he couldn't do it, and the leading cavalry couldn't switch between offense and defense as quickly and flexibly as the hussars just now...

"Send the order!" Drum roll! Cheer for General Bao! ” Cao Hong gave an order loudly, “More troops will be mobilized and advance in formation!” Help my comrades! 』

When the guard heard that they were about to send out cavalry, they turned around to wave the flying tiger flag representing the cavalry, but were slapped back by Cao Hong, "Move the troops forward!" 』

"ah? 』

"Infantry!" Five thousand! 』

Cao Hong gritted his teeth and looked ferocious.

"Get out of the battle quickly!" 』

…

…

This battle of mutual exchange and testing did not last long.

The generals on both sides seemed to have gotten what they wanted, and both exchanged some chips and cards.

In the march book for the Hussars, the description of this battle is like this, "In the summer of the ninth year of Taixing." Fight the enemy in the wild. During the meeting, General Cao made a surprise attack on Beibu. When he went to Beibu, he was unprepared and was defeated. Chu led his troops to set up an ambush and defeated General Cao. When they pursued him to the enemy camp, the enemy fired thunderbolts and rocks flew across the sky, and neither men nor horses could stop him. Chu was defeated and retreated, but the enemy troops pursued him again. Lieutenant Commander Li gathered his troops on the flanks and gathered his soldiers along the way. He put up false flags and pretended to be an outflank, causing the enemy to turn around. He then intercepted and killed them halfway, defeated them, and pursued them to the front of the enemy camp. 』

It is said that when this record was sent to Xu Chu, Xu Chu did not ask to delete it or rewrite his description of his failure. Instead, he nodded and calmly stamped his mark under this paragraph of text.

The march book is a document that belongs exclusively to Supervisor Zhiyin. After every battle, as long as conditions permit, Supervisor Zhiyin will record it and then archive it. This record will be compared with the records in the military merit book. Because Zhiyin Supervisor only records the development process and results, and does not involve the specific number of military merits, it will not be written in very detail.

For example, the number of enemies killed, the number of heads, and the number of losses will not be reflected in Zhiyin Prison, but will be recorded in the military merit book...

Ever since Lu Bu, the Protector of the Western Regions, had an incident, Supervisor Zhiyin had naturally been purged and reorganized. Those Zhiyin prison officials who were killed in the Western Regions received posthumous awards and pensions, while those Zhiyin prison officials who chose to turn a blind eye or even complicity were arrested and sentenced according to their guilt.

Those Zhiyinjian clerks who insisted on keeping records and upholding fairness were promoted to middle and senior management of Zhiyinjian. This style was then extended to all branches of Zhiyinjian and became the rules of Zhiyinjian.

Compared with these records that might embarrass Xu Chu, Xu Chu was more concerned about Cao Hong, or what Cao Cao was planning...

Li Li came back quickly, still covered in blood and dust after the battle.

Li Li reported his battle in detail...

Under the attack of Cao's catapults, his troops were also scattered for a time, but he soon began to gather soldiers and treat some cavalrymen who could still be saved. Then Li Li divided the troops into three parts, one part went back with the lightly and seriously injured, one part acted as scouts to form a formation, and the remaining part was led by Li Li himself, constantly wandering on the battlefield.

The subsequent events were basically logical...

Li Li's cavalry began to counterattack those pursuing Cao's army, and Cao's cavalry did not participate in the pursuit.

A single Cao army infantryman cannot fight against Li Li without the blessing of the formation, and in a relatively scattered and lengthy situation.

After Li Li attacked the Cao army infantryman who was chasing the most happily and running the farthest, the rest of the Cao army soldiers quickly lost the idea of ​​continuing to pursue, and turned around and rushed to retreat, even forming a certain self-trampling.

But then the Cao army divisions formed a formation and moved forward, and at the same time, more Cao army infantrymen poured out of the Cao army camp, and the number was so large that Li Li could not handle it at all, so he had to choose to withdraw from the battlefield after achieving certain results.

The Cao army also withdrew afterwards...

Xu Chu listened and nodded, while checking and reflecting on the difference between himself and Li Li, and then Xu Chu found that he was indeed not as flexible as Li Li in the use of cavalry.

Xu Chu still retains some habits of commanding infantry, such as the arrangement of a left and right wing, a central army formation, etc. Although Li Li is still young and immature, this style is completely from the Northern Territory, and it is a very mature cavalry tactics. It is not limited to the flanks of the middle formation, nor does it pursue dispersion and concentration. Instead, it is specifically deployed according to the actual situation, whistling back and forth, fighting when it says to fight, and retreating when it wants to retreat.

"General, is the Cao army sending out infantry to lure us?" Li Li asked, "At that time, I thought we could still fight, but... there might be some trouble, so it is safer to withdraw the troops..."

"You did the right thing." Xu Chu nodded and affirmed, "The Cao army is luring... Don't be greedy on the battlefield..."

Xu Chu said with a little emotion.

It seems to be reminding Li Li, and it seems to be summing up Xu Chu's own mistakes.

He understood part of Cao Hong's arrangement.

It is indeed as Li Li said, this is greed, this is a test of human nature.

When Li Li led his troops to counterattack, Xu Chu actually didn't have many cavalry left. If he wanted to transfer the infantry in the front camp, it would be slow and almost equivalent to going all-in with Cao's army.

Xu Chu's cards were almost exposed. If he was unwilling to accept his failure and wanted to get more chips back on the river, he would try to swallow these Cao's infantry. Although the nearly 5,000 Cao's infantry were not elite, they could not be killed in a short time if they were really shot with arrows, knives, and horses...

And if Cao Hong led the Cao's cavalry to attack again during this process, what would Xu Chu do?

Entangled with Cao Hong's cavalry?

If so, the Cao army had infantry on the outside, cavalry in the middle, and catapults in the back camp, so it was not the Cao army that was besieged, but Xu Chu and others!

The five thousand people thrown out by Cao Hong are bait, that is, meat contaminated with poison!

If Xu Chu or Li Li were greedy, they would be fooled...

Bite the bait, although there is fat in the mouth, but it needs to be chewed and swallowed!

In the case of Cao Hong's previous small victory, the morale of the Cao army was slightly improved, so it is not easy to be so broken and swallowed so quickly!

Once it is stuck in the throat and blocked at the air hole, even a small piece of meat may be fatal!

Fortunately, Xu Chu and Li Li were not overwhelmed by failure, and did not lose their minds when they saw the bait.

Especially Li Li, who was commanding on the front line, showed a clear mind and excellent potential...

This is rare.

The bigger the stage, the more opportunities there are, and people with ability and potential will have more to show.

Li Li performed very well. Although he was unknown before, from today on, he is no longer a small role on the edge of the stage. He not only completed Xu Chu's orders very well, but also handled them flexibly when facing new changes in the battle situation. He was brave in direct combat and cautious in facing a big battle situation.

Everyone has his own role.

Who knows when a small role who stood on the edge and played a supporting role many years ago will grow into a real protagonist and lead a big drama?

The stage of the cavalry made Li Li successful, and Li Li also gave the cavalry a wonderful performance.

After listening to Li Li's battle report, Xu Chu directly affirmed it and issued a temporary promotion order on the battlefield, promoting Li Li to the rank of fake cavalry commander, fully responsible for cavalry affairs, and handed over half of the central cavalry under Xu Chu himself to Li Li for command, strengthening Li Li's combat effectiveness.

Li Li thanked him without mentioning it.

There is almost no difficulty in rising from a soldier to a sergeant. Anyone who survives a battle is basically eligible for promotion. It depends on whether there is a free establishment, or even if you wait for a period of time, and wait for the new recruits to join the army, the veteran will be promoted.

But as you go up, the difficulty gradually increases, and the higher you go, the harder it gets.

Li Li has been stuck in the position of military commander for a long time. If it weren't for Cao's massive attack this time, Li Li might still be a military commander for another ten years...

Although he was now a fake cavalry captain during the war and might be demoted back after the war, and the real appointment would have to wait for Fei Qian to be issued, at least Li Li had seen the hope ahead, and when Li Li walked out of Xu Chu's tent They were all somewhat uncontrollably excited.

Xu Chu watched Li Li leave, smiled slightly, and then quickly put away his smile, "Here comes someone!" The future is coming! 』

Xu Chu said in a deep voice.

After dealing with Li Li's affairs, it was natural to deal with Qubei.

There are rewards and punishments. Those who deserve rewards should be rewarded, and those who should be punished should be punished. This is the rule.

It is the rule of the hussar, and it is also the rule that everyone under the tricolor flag must abide by.
