Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 418
After Xu Rong led the soldiers who ascended the camp first to deal with the Yizhou Army who was blocking the pass outside the pass, he did not stop. He directly changed into a long snake formation and continued to pursue Ma Chao, who had been retreating for some time.

When it comes to the long snake formation, many people's first thought is that this is a defensive formation.When the tail is hit, the head bites, when the head is hit, the tail rolls, when the midsection is hit, the head and tail twist together.

Therefore, if you want to break the long snake formation, you need to pinch its head, pull its tail, hit its belly, and hit it in three ways in parallel to break it.

It's just that, in order to form this long snake formation, extremely powerful maneuvering power is required. Usually, cavalry is used on both wings to complete a perfect long snake formation.

In addition, the Long Snake Formation is also a formation used for marching.If it is only used for marching, there are not so many requirements, and this is the fastest formation for marching.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Rong asked Xian Dengying to form a long snake formation to march.

It's just that if this is the case, although the marching speed of the first camp is increased, if this is the case, if it is suddenly attacked, it is very likely that it will be cut into two sections, and the beginning and the end cannot be taken care of.

As a general who is good at using his brain, Xu Rong naturally wouldn't be ignorant of this.Knowing that there might be an ambush ahead, Xu Rong still chose to let the soldiers who boarded the camp first form a long snake formation to pursue.

On Tongguan, Qu Yi's expression changed drastically when he saw this situation.

"My lord, this subordinate requests to leave the customs immediately, and personally command the camp first!" Qu Yi brought out the camp first. At this time, Qu Yi saw Xu Rong and might bring the camp first into an abyss. Immediately began to become irritable.

As for Xu Rong, Qu Yi knew this person quite well.At least, the two of them have fought against each other and worked together, and Qu Yi also admires Xu Rong's ability.Especially Qu Yi himself is not good at military strategy, so he respects people like Qu Yi even more.

But at this time, Qu Yi really wished that he could take Xu Rong's place and command his first camp.

Ye Mo also expected Qu Yi to have such a reaction, it would be really strange if Qu Yi didn't show anything.

"Qu Yi, don't worry, Xu Rong naturally has his reasons for doing this." Ye Mo looked at Qu Yi who was anxious like ants on a hot pot, and immediately spoke in relief.

However, although Ye Mo said so, how could Qu Yi not be in a hurry?Going to the camp first was Qu Yi's lifelong painstaking effort.

To be honest, Qu Yi had thought about the scene of going to the camp first and annihilating the entire army countless times, but every scene was on the magnificent and tragic frontal battlefield.

If Xian Dengying was ambushed by the enemy because of his arrogance, Qu Yi really never thought that such a scenario would happen.It can be said that if Xu Rong made this scene come true today, Qu Yi would probably not care about the friendship between the two and would directly fight Xu Rong.

Ye Mo put down these words, even if Qu Yi was in a hurry, he couldn't say anything more.Qu Yi may not believe other people's words, but Qu Yi will still choose to believe Ye Mo's words.

It's one thing to just believe Ye Mo's words, but another to worry about the soldiers who boarded the camp first.

In fact, at this time, not only Qu Yi was very worried.Even Fazheng and Dianwei frowned at Xu Rong's actions.

On the other side, Guo Jia and others who had retreated were listening to the report of the scouts they had left behind.

"You said, only more than 1000 people were chased in Tongguan?" Guo Jia looked at the scout in front of him, and the word "Chuan" formed between his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that even after he had done this, Tongguan only sent more than 1000 people to pursue him.Even if I ambushed these more than 1000 people, what effect would it have?

Seeing that Guo Jia doubted his words, the scout immediately became anxious.Although Guo Jia has always been a good man, Ma Chao has been injured at this time. Guo Jia had ordered 500 people to stay outside Tongguan to die. Who can guarantee that Guo Jia will let him go?
"Master Military Advisor, if there is even half a lie in what the villain said, the villain will surely die. It is true that there were only a thousand people from Tongguan who chased us out. Moreover, within two quarters of an hour, those people chased us down. Kill all the soldiers who are blocking the attack." In order to convince Guo Jia of his own words, this time the scouts spoke in much more detail.

In fact, from the very beginning, Guo Jia believed the scout's words.Hearing what the scout said at this time, Guo Jia frowned even more.

If the combat power of this army is really as the scout said, it is impossible to say that the [-] people around me will really be overtaken and defeated by those people.

"How far are those people from us?" Since Guo Jia felt that those people might pose a threat to him, he naturally needed to figure out the distance to him.It would be dangerous if they were caught up by the imperial army before they joined Pound and the others.

Since the scout was assigned by Guo Jia, he naturally had enough experience.Therefore, even if Guo Jia asked such a difficult question, the scout gave the answer without the slightest hesitation. "If we still maintain this marching speed, it may only take three quarters of an hour for the opponent to catch up with us."

When Guo Jia heard what the scout said, he immediately looked at the scout in the wrong way.In three quarters of an hour, could it be possible that the soldiers chasing after Tongguan could fly?
When the scout saw Guo Jia's eyes, he shuddered again.If this answer is not good, I am afraid that my head will be lost.

"Reporting to the military division, the army chasing after Tongguan is marching in a long snake formation, and they are all elite, so the marching speed is much faster than ours."

The scout only started to chase Guo Jia and the others after seeing clearly the marching speed of the first camp.Although Guo Jia and the others marched ahead for a long time, their marching speed was much slower than when they first arrived at the camp.

After hearing what the scouts said, Guo Jia felt annoyed for a while.The imperial army in Tongguan was so daring that they dared to use the long snake formation when they were chasing enemies who outnumbered them.

However, in this way, it gave Guo Jia a lot of opportunities.As long as the operation is good, maybe the end of this elite imperial army will be today.

"Give me an order to let the [-] soldiers continue to move forward, and the rest of the soldiers lie in ambush in the ravines on both sides. When the pursuers pass by, cut them off directly!" Guo Jia was also decisive, and at this time he directly ordered in Ambush on both sides.

At the same time, in order not to arouse the suspicion of Tongguan pursuers, five hundred soldiers were allowed to continue marching forward.In this way, the Tongguan chasing soldiers following the footsteps of the Yizhou army were also relaxed.

After the arrangement, Guo Jia was still not at ease.After all, this is an elite army of the imperial court, and I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with.

"Hurry up and notify General Ma Dai and General Pound, and let them quickly lead the army to come to respond." Turning his head, looking at the scout beside him, Guo Jia felt much more at ease after giving the order.
