When tens of thousands of young people on the Taiping Road are heading west.
When Huangfusong's face was full of tension and he began to stand firm and clear the country.
When the Western Region Army in Hebei, led by Luo Chuan, began to reorganize and cross the river.
When Luo Chuan led the princes and heroes from the counties to meet Luo Kong.
When Yuan Shao learned that Luo Xiao was not going to fight against him, but was going to defend the city, he raised his head and laughed wildly.
When Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan looked at each other, they prepared their weapons and attacked the city.
When Zhaogong was thinking hard in Zhaocheng, thinking about how to deal with Luo Xiao's identity.
Luo Xiao, who had been making calculations and deductions in Xingyang, was moved.
From among the elite of the Taiping Army, he carefully selected a group of soldiers who were able to fight hard, have sufficient physical strength, high skills and tactics, and most importantly, stable will and no panic.
There were one million Taiping Taoists, and the number of soldiers who met his requirements was only a few thousand. He also selected some slightly inferior ones, totaling ten thousand people.
Leave Xingyang and head east!
…
Luo Xiao's march was quite organized. The mountains and rivers were all in his mind. It was easy to set up camp, clean up the troops, and maintain military discipline. His biggest requirement was to be quiet during the march.
There were twelve Qushuai traveling with him. Although there were no leaders with long-term vision among these Qushuai, many of them were qualified as strong generals. Luo Xiao also felt that several of them had pretty good qualifications.
For example, Qu Shuai Guan Hai is the most powerful general in the Taiping Dao. He is born with supernatural power and is the only warrior in the Taiping Dao who can withstand Luo Xiao's full strength for more than ten moves. Luo Xiao concludes that he can also survive in this turbulent world. He can be considered a brave general.
Another example is Chu Feiyan, who was born in Qingzhou and later changed his name to Zhang Yan. This is a rare general in the Taiping Army who has great talent in commanding troops. Now he is a general in Luoxiao.
There are also several Qu Shuai with good qualifications who are fighting in Jingzhou.
Luo Xiao only brought 10,000 troops on this expedition, which was considered a very small number.
Whether the number of soldiers or their elite level is more important has always been the focus of debate. Luo Xiao feels that it is unnecessary, so naturally the number of elite soldiers is more important.
This is a matter with no fixed answer. The confrontation between the two armies in the Central Plains is a meat grinder-level war. Naturally, the number of troops must be sufficient, otherwise the battle will be empty.
If Luo Xiao is preparing to attack by surprise as he is now, then he will naturally have to reduce the size of the army, otherwise it will greatly increase the risk of being discovered, which is not conducive to combat.
Luo Xiao looked up at the surrounding hills and highlands, constantly matching the memories in his mind. When he came to a key point, he stopped.
"right here."
Luo Xiao turned around and looked at all the Qushuai with his eyes scanning one by one. He wanted to select the most patient person to complete this task. Based on the understanding of everyone in his mind, Luo Xiao selected a Qushuai who had extremely high martial arts value. Guan Hai.
Guan Hai was very excited to be selected by Luo Xiao. They patted their chests and promised, "Tao Master, Hai promises to execute your plan perfectly."
Guan Hai led two thousand soldiers, which was the limit of Luo Xiao's calculations, and laid an ambush here.
According to Luo Xiao's request, the soil and green leaves fell directly on them, covering up the person's aura. This was regarded as one of the yin and yang of soldiers, and was called the Qimen Escape Technique among the people.
Looking from a distance, even if you look specifically, it is not easy to spot.
Luo Xiao checked it a few more times and confirmed that it was perfect. Then he led the remaining eight thousand troops, slowly removed the traces of the attack, turned around the valley, and left two more ambushes, each with one or two thousand people. He led Let the remaining five thousand people rest and wait quietly for the prey to appear.
The Qu commanders were both excited and confused as they asked Luo Xiao, who was standing looking at the sky: "Tao Master, can the Han army be so stupid?
Pass without inspection at this kind of venue? "
Luo Xiao retracted his gaze towards the sky, turned around and chuckled softly: "Sometimes, don't think your enemies are too smart.
The most useful tactics are often the crudest ones.
Before arriving here, the sky will gradually gather clouds. They are worried about rain. The best place to camp is five miles out of the valley, so they must pass as soon as possible. If there is no time, no one will check. "
So that’s it, is this the legendary Bing Yin Yang?
He is truly worthy of being an omnipotent Taoist master.
…
The white horse passes by, and time flows by bit by bit.
With the obvious sounds of people and horse hooves approaching, the valley, or rather the bottom of the hilly valley, which was not that high, suddenly became noisy.
If you stand on the top of the mountain and look far away, you can see countless banners fluttering in the breeze. Above the banners are the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, auspicious beasts and the Holy Spirit. They are of extremely high standards. They are the first army. On them are printed The character "Cao" is written on one of the flags, and the character "Han" is written on it.
It is Cao Cao's vanguard army.
Gongsun Zan, who was also the vanguard, was worried that Yuan Shao would deceive him by using his identity as the leader of the alliance, and was unwilling to march with Yuan Shao's army, so he led the cavalry to march from a flatter place on the right side and break away from the army.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, carried out his duties as a vanguard to the letter, building bridges across rivers and clearing roads across mountains to clear obstacles for the march of the army.
However, Cao Cao felt a little helpless in his heart. He rode on his horse and said to all the clan brothers: "My army is pressing on the border, and the Taiping Army, whose main force has gone west, will definitely not be able to hold on. I don't know how many casualties there will be when attacking the city. It's really annoying. "
As the army was marching, they saw lush greenery and rocks on the top of the mountain on the way. Cao Cao stepped forward to take a look. His military ability was very good. When he saw this place, he felt that it was a good place for an ambush.
If he were to lead the troops, even if the troops were insufficient, he would definitely ambush an army here. After all, the benefits would be huge.
Suddenly a flying bird took off from the tree, and then several more birds flew up from it. After circling a few times, they either landed on the branches or on the big rocks.
There are birds in the forest!
Based on experience, Cao Cao felt relieved, thinking that the main force of the Taiping Army was heading west. Facing our army's pressure, it was difficult to defend the city. How could ordinary generals be so bold and careful as to divide their troops to ambush?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately prepared to show off. As a leader, he must show his wisdom and strategizing from time to time, so that his subordinates will never dare to test.
I saw Cao Cao suddenly burst into laughter and looked at the small valley with disdain. Everyone was a little strange, so they asked directly: "Brother, why are you laughing?"
Cao Cao smiled and pointed to the valley and said: "I laugh at the lack of strategy and Zhang Jiao. This is one of the only roads to Xingyang.
If I were Zhang Jiao, I would order the Taiping Army to ambush an army here. When our army enters and suddenly attacks, our army will be in chaos and suffer heavy casualties.
It's a pity that people who are ignorant and ignorant, how can they understand the secrets? "
After saying this, Cao Cao looked up at the sky, knowing that he could not delay any longer, and said to a general beside him: "Lieutenant, you go back and report the situation here to Lord Benchu. I will go in first to open the road for Benchu, and the army will follow." That’s it.”
After saying that, he ordered the army to pass through. Although there were quite a few stone forests along the way, it was just as Cao Cao expected. It was peaceful and stable, and nothing happened until they left the valley.
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing again. This was not just because there was no ambush, but because he confirmed that the military capabilities of the Taiping generals who stayed behind were indeed average.
Among the Taiping Army, only the thief Zhang Jiao has some sorcery skills, and the rest are of no use.
When Yuan Shao's army received the news from Cao Cao, they couldn't help laughing.
He said to the other princes: "I met Mengde when he was young. At that time, he was interested in military affairs. He liked to comment on famous generals in the past, and he would say what would happen to him if he were a general.
I didn’t expect that after not seeing each other for so many years, it was still like this.
It's getting late, so withdraw the rear scouts and put them in the front. Pass through here as quickly as possible. There is a suitable place to set up camp only a few miles ahead. "
Everyone should go and lead the troops to pass.
It is said that it is as fast as possible, but the difficulty of the army's movement is not comparable to that of Cao Cao's men. With the number of Yuan Shao's coalition forces, it will take a long time to just pass the order from Yuan Shao to the following, but fortunately the formation is still there Even if they were all in order, they could rest after hearing that they were several miles ahead. The speed of the army was obviously accelerated.
Cao Cao laughed wildly in the valley, who couldn't hear it?
Especially Guan Hai, who was ambushing in the first section, thought he was going to be discovered. It wasn't until Cao Cao walked straight into the ambush that he realized that Cao Cao was just deceiving him.
Thinking of the Taoist Master's order, Guan Hai did not take any action and let Cao Cao leave directly.
News of Cao Cao's passage quickly reached Yuan Shao's coalition forces who had begun to pass. Hearing that the vanguard army had begun to rush towards the camp, Yuan Shao ordered to speed up again.
There are more than 10,000 people, and the sky is connected to the earth.
There are more than 100,000 people, and the sky and the earth are the same color.
The Yuan-Shao coalition army far exceeded 100,000. Each prince led his own elite to direct the march of the army. The fatal flaw was revealed in this.
When Yuan Shao's army entered the valley, Guan Hai knew that the big fish he had been waiting for had finally arrived!
He raised the bow decisively and fully drew the huge bow that was designed to match his natural divine power. The thick arrow penetrated it, and then like a meteorite, it flew towards the alliance's great banner.
"Kill the enemy!"
The moment the arrow was shot, a roar like a tiger's roar resounded throughout the entire valley.
The huge sharp arrow was heavily nailed to the side of the banner, pinning a soldier to the ground. The tail of the arrow was vibrating and making a loud buzzing sound.
Yuan Shao was momentarily stunned by the sudden enemy attack. His brain was still in a tailwind situation and he had not switched over.
Cao Cao just passed by here, and I watched him pass with my own eyes. How could there be an ambush?
This is the first thought in everyone's mind!
The target of the bandit army is Yuan Shao!
This was the second thought in everyone's mind. This was the only explanation. The Taiping Army's target was Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, so they let Cao Cao pass.
Yuan Shao also thought of this, came to his senses and cursed secretly, "Cao Mengde, you have such a crow's mouth."
Then he looked up and saw that the army was already in chaos due to the sudden attack.
Especially the baggage troops and auxiliary troops composed of farmers were like headless flies, avoiding non-existent enemies, always feeling like they were about to be killed the next moment.
From the moment Yuan Shao's army began to enter the valley, Luo Xiao knew it was time.
He wears extremely fine armor to protect his whole body. Even his face armor is neatly worn. His strength of up to 97 gives him extremely strong physical strength. He can fight with armor for a long time and can wear thicker and thicker armor. There is a lot of armor, and the war horse under his crotch is also a carefully selected horse king level.
There are not many armors of this level in the entire Taiping Army, especially face armor with strong protective power.
Following him are five thousand of the most elite Taiping troops, all of whom are cavalry and wearing armor. Naturally, the background of the Taiping Road does not have these, but Xingyang does. Once the Han Dynasty is breached, the rebels will quickly This is the reason for growing stronger.
"Cut them in half, blow up the camps on both sides, and trample each other on the front and rear!"
These fifteen words are Luo Xiao's goal.
Yuan Shao has 200,000 people and Luo Xiao has 10,000 people, but is it difficult?
It’s like picking something out of a bag!
Five thousand armored cavalry were like a torrent of steel, going around the corner, their horses' hooves wrapped in cloth, holding coins in their mouths, galloping all the way, and suddenly appeared on the side of the army. The marching army had felt some shock before, but there were too many troops. They all thought that the movement was caused by their own march.
Who would pay attention to the noise caused by thousands of people among 200,000 people?
No formation!
No armor piercing!
Facing the sudden arrival of the armored cavalry, which were almost like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, Luo Xiao shouted loudly: "Thousands of people rush into the formation, behead them and seize the flag!"
The commanders roared, and then the five thousand armored cavalry separated instantly. In this situation, the impact caused by the one thousand armored cavalry and the five thousand armored cavalry was the same.
Two hundred thousand pigs cannot be caught or killed, but two hundred thousand people can, because humans are smarter than pigs!
boom!
Almost in an instant, a group of princes who rushed towards him in a hurry, namely Liang Guoxiang, was rushed past. Both Liang Guoxiang and his elite subordinates fell off their horses like dumplings, with blood flowing out. He turned into flesh and died on the spot.
This time it really exploded. These princes did not belong to each other and only obeyed the orders of the leader Yuan Shao. Now that Liang Guoxiang is dead, no one can command the soldiers under his command. They are just a group of farmers. How can they dare to fight with armor-piercing like a murderous devil? The armored cavalry confronted each other and immediately fled in all directions.
There was chaos in the field, and the clouds in the sky were slightly thicker. Although they were not dark clouds, they had no problem blocking the dazzling light of the sun.
Zhang Yan took two armored cavalry to drive away the chaotic soldiers outside the valley to expand the victory. The Taiping Army rushed out from the mouth of the valley. The Chinese army that had been cut off was now in the stage of bombing the camp from left to right.
Luo Xiao turned his attention to the valley, where Yuan Shao was!
He wanted to meet this handsome man who was ranked below Luo Zichuan and see if he was qualified to use this title.
Two teams of thousands of armored cavalry rushed all the way to meet Luo Xiao, with blood dripping from their bodies. They had never experienced such a hearty killing, and their morale was high.
Three thousand armored cavalry advanced together, and under the leadership of Luo Xiao, they rushed all the way towards Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao looked at this scene and never imagined that this would be a peasant army. This was simply more elite than the elite Han army!
————
In the battle of Xingyang, I saw a group of heroes in the corner, including Shao, Cao, Zan, Bei, etc. When I saw Cao, he said to the left and right: "Cao has military skills, and he also has Tao skills."
Everyone was surprised and said, "What's the trick?"
Jiao then laughed and said, "Every time Cao Cao fails to laugh, his words are bound to hit the mark. If he can't speak, is it not a Taoist skill?"
After many years of meditation, I have achieved success. There is no skill in this exercise but there is skill in the corner. ——"Shishuoxinyu·Later Han Dynasty"
