There was a lot of noise between the army formations, Gu Nan was riding on the horse, and the bamboo hat was slightly moved by the wind, and he turned his eyes to look at the army formation. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
The Xuanxiang Formation may seem complicated, but in fact it is just a maze arranged in a queue. Unlike the formations used for battle, there is no need to change and advance and retreat, only need to line up and march.
Therefore, the training of this kind of formation is also extremely fast. You only need to assign where each army formation stands, and you can play the role of Xuanxiang formation without changing the formation at will.
If it is changed to another army formation for combat or to add some changes to the army formation, I am afraid that this army will not be able to get it out without a few months of training.
What's more, this army is transferred from various troops. Although the army at this time only recognizes soldiers but not generals, and it is a war under anyone's command, but this cannot completely ignore the strangeness and estrangement between them. The cooperation is definitely not as good as the soldiers who were originally a team.
Although such soldiers use flags to dispatch on the battlefield, although they don't worry about the problem of dialect barriers, the relationship between the teams is definitely not that harmonious and tacit.
This is also the reason why Gu Nan chose to feign defeat instead of fighting head-on. If she was given a formally trained army of more than ten thousand, she would have the confidence to defeat Hua Xiong's thirty thousand Xiliang head-on.
But with such a cobbled together army, not to mention defeating the 30,000 Xiliang army head-on, it is still a question of how much it can safely withdraw when it pretends to be defeated.
An army battle is different from a private fight, she can defeat Hua Xiong, but the ultimate goal is 30,000 Xiliang troops, not Hua Xiong alone.
If it weren't for Cao Cao's current strength of only 5,000 troops, she would not have made such a bad move.
However, it is always better to have soldiers than to have no soldiers. The function of this army is to let Cao operate as a drain on Dong Zhuo's combat power.
Because it is a soldier borrowed in the name of seeking Dong, so as long as the seeking Dong is not over, the army princes will not be able to go back. Cao Cao can fight as he wants, and he doesn't feel bad if his soldiers are not disabled.
As for when the battle against Dong is over, Cao Cao has finished the battle and received meritorious deeds, and he doesn't know how many soldiers he can return.
After all, casualties in battle are not something that anyone can control, right
The princes from all walks of life should have considered this point, so the soldiers borrowed are all new recruits in the army, with limited combat power, and there will not even be any eyeliner placed by the princes, because this army will be scrapped after the battle. It is impossible to get reused by Cao Cao.
Although it may be cruel to these loaned soldiers, the reality is that most of the more than 10,000 people who have been loaned out will become victims of this political merit contest.
It was doomed from the time they joined the army, most of them would die on the battlefield and never come back.
Gu Nan withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at those faces covered in dust.
She was very helpless, but there was no other way. People would die in war, and war was cruel, and human life was just a quantity.
What she can do is to end the chaos of the Eastern Han Dynasty earlier, so that future chaos will happen less.
She doesn't know if this is righteousness for herself, but in her opinion, she has always been a selfish person who uses other people's lives to achieve her own goals, no matter what kind of righteousness she has in her name, she is selfish .
What's more, when she just didn't want to really die, the old man asked her how the prosperity was.
She still wants to deceive with the lies of her previous life, she is afraid that she will not be able to say anything.
She didn't have close relatives, so she didn't want to see the old man disappointed.
Moreover, she had already had enough of her gray clothes, and she didn't want to mourn for anyone anymore.
Regardless of whether it was the people who died under her hands or those who died beside her, she felt that she had paid off the debt of her whole body.
Gu Nan raised her head to look at the blue sky covered by the yellow sand, she begged for it when she was in Qin Shi.
Since it is useless to beg you, I will do it myself.
She has prepared long enough for hundreds of years.
The sound of the army formation was heavy and mighty, and under the long sky, smoke and dust were raised.
Ten days after Sun Jian was defeated, Hua Xiong's army stood still under the Hulao Pass. Although Hua Xiong was proud, he only had 30,000 men, so it was impossible for him to lead an army to attack the main army of hundreds of thousands of princes.
He is going to wait for work with ease, and use the natural danger of Hulao Pass to defend the princes, so that the dominance of this battle will be transferred to his hands.
The princes came from all over the world, and they formed alliances on the surface, but there were many frictions in the dark, and it was impossible for the princes to jointly raise troops to attack unless it was really urgent. As long as the princes don't come together, he has the power to stand up.
He knew this very well, so he didn't panic, even if several princes came, he would be able to hold the tiger's prison.
"Insert." A short knife pierced into a piece of stewed meat.
Hua Xiong pulled the short knife, cut off a piece of meat, stabbed it on the tip of the knife, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The oil stains from the meat stained his mouth, making his mouth look greasy, and he chewed heavily.
He reached for a water bottle from the table and took a sip.
He looked like a rough man, but he seldom drank alcohol during the march, and it was never possible for him to get drunk. He knows the truth about drinking and making mistakes, let alone a place like the battlefield that changes rapidly. For this kind of thing, it is very likely that he lost his life for nothing.
There was a slight rush of horseshoes outside.
"Woo!" A voice shouted, and the sound of reining in the horse came from outside.
A figure walked outside his tent and knelt in front of the door: "General, report the military situation!"
He has arranged Xiaoqi and flag bearers around Hulao. If there is any whereabouts of the princes' army, they will report to him at any time.
Seeing this Xiaoqi, Hua Xiong had probably already guessed what was going on.
Counting the time, nearly ten days have passed, but it's about the same, and the princes can't wait any longer.
"Come in and talk." Hua Xiong said, leaning back on his seat, swallowing the meat in his mouth.
"yes!"
Xiaoqi responded, and strode in from the outside, and it was obvious that he had discovered something important.
Walking in front of Hua Xiong, Xiao Qi bowed down: "General, a large army was found in the valley to the east. It was very powerful. There were probably tens of thousands of people. It must be that the princes came all the way to attack the tiger prison."
"Oh?" Hua Xiong was stunned for a moment, his eyes were dazzled, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly sneered: "Walking in the valley?"
"Yes." Xiaoqi looked at Hua Xiong with a smile and replied without knowing why.
"Hehehe." Hua Xiong smiled and waved his hands, not caring at all.
"The defeat of the princes is not wronged. They are all such wine bags and rice bags. How can they be undefeated?"
"The terrain outside the valley is not too steep. We dare to walk through the valley knowing that we are the Xiliang Army. This world is really interesting. Such people can lead the army to fight."
The terrain of the mountain is not suitable for cavalry to fight. The opponent should have considered this, but that is for heavy cavalry. For the light cavalry who are good at field combat, there is not much difference between steep mountains and flat land.
You can even use the mountain to ambush outside the valley, shoot a few salvos, and then use the cavalry to dive down the mountain, or you can break through the opponent's army formation a few times, causing the opponent to mess up.
In a battle between armies, there is no need to kill the opponent. If you can't control it, it will be no different from defeat.
"Where did they go and how fast were they traveling?" Hua Xiong asked.
"General, just entered the valley, from the outside it looks like an infantry chariot, and the marching speed is very slow." Xiaoqi thought about it, and replied to Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong's smiling face gradually faded away, leaving behind a hideous face.
"Pass down the order to keep one army in this formation. If someone attacks the camp, immediately ask for help from the Guanzhong army. For the rest, divide the army into two and lie in ambush at the entrance of the valley, waiting for my order!"
"yes!"
