The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

It's okay to take advantage of the terrain and carry out an ambush. The most frontal battle is a wave of salvos, which is almost useless.Maybe train for two years and be able to shoot the second round in a short time.It's just that if you are a little careless, it will hinder the change of formation and affect the attack of the main force. Generals who are not proficient in this way will rarely take such risks.

"However, even if it is harassment, it can create key opportunities for our army. At the same time, when we go out to fight, we can also choose some favorable terrain to shoot and improve the diversity of tactics and strategies. Taking a step back, if the imperial court does not allow places Form a militia, our militia can at least assist in defending the city, at this time the archers will be more useful." Liu Tao comforted.

"It's no wonder that the eldest brother appointed to train one hundred archers from the beginning, so he took this into consideration!" Zhang Fei suddenly realized when he heard this, he didn't expect that it was just Zhang Jiao's rebellion, and Liu Tao had already considered so many things.

Lu Yan also nodded when she heard the words, Liu Tao was indeed much more thoughtful than him.At the same time, I also realized that when I was thinking about the problem, I still had some limitations.

"As the saying goes, 'preparation is safe', if it is not that there are not enough horses, I hope to get a horse army of even about 50 people..." Liu Tao said with emotion.

50 cavalry, even light cavalry, as long as they are facing yellow turban bandits, they can easily tear apart and disperse the opponent's formation in the case of rampage.It was originally a one-on-one battle formation. After being dispersed, one soldier of the opponent may face the simultaneous attack of two or three of his own troops.

In this way, even if the opponent has three times the strength of one's own army, it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated!

"Although Youzhou is close to the border, it is more convenient to obtain horses than other Central Plains states and counties, but the price of war horses has always been high..." Zhang Fei is also a little embarrassed, and this thing, unless you are familiar with the tribes of the grassland, others None are sold.

"We'll figure it out later!" Liu Tao comforted. Two figures appeared in his mind at the moment, but he didn't know where those two were, and whether they were willing to donate generously to help him.

Speaking of which, there was a servant who rode his horse into the school grounds, got off the horse even more bumpy, and finally came in front of the three of them.Regardless of etiquette, he shouted directly: "Patriarch, our wine delivery team was blocked by thieves in Lousang Village!"

"Speak in detail!" Zhang Fei frowned when he heard that.

"There is a group of thieves, probably in the hundreds, with yellow scarves on their heads, planning to rob our wine convoy. No, not only us, but also two caravans are also their targets! Now the convoy, according to the red-faced men who joined in the middle It is suggested to quickly withdraw into Lousang Village and use the village's terrain to resist, but the other party seems to be waiting for reinforcements, the situation is urgent, and I hope the Patriarch can make a decision early!" The family member hurriedly said.

There are many wounds on his body. Although the injuries are not serious, he looks hideous.It can be seen that in order to break through the encirclement and report the letter, it is also desperate.

"Lousang Village is only ten miles away from here. It's still too late to give the soldiers a chance to fight! According to this servant, what the convoy encountered might be yellow scarf bandits!" Lu Yan immediately suggested.

"Sure enough, the Yellow Turban Bandits came to Youzhou...or did the local Yellow Turban Bandits in Zhuo County rise up to respond?" Zhang Fei didn't understand.

"The army has been training for a few days, and it is indeed time to see the blood!" Liu Tao thought for a while, then immediately looked at the two of them, "Let's go to an actual battle this time!"

"It's just that the training time is short, is it okay?" Lu Yan was a little worried.

"None of the soldiers in my Zhuangzi are afraid of death!" Zhang Fei retorted directly. After all, these thousand soldiers were all selected from his Zhuang Ding, and many of them were trained by him himself.Besides, in the past when transporting wine, servants also fought against thieves together with the family's priests, and some servants even developed their skills in this way.

Although fighting in groups and fighting are two concepts, at least they can be considered experienced, so to be honest, the training these days has been very smooth.These Zhuang Ding can quickly adapt to their new identities, and they are all qualified soldiers in terms of state of consciousness and combat power!

"Then don't wait any longer, the supply troops stay on guard, and the other troops gather to go out immediately!" Liu Tao ordered immediately, time is waiting for no one, if it continues, the caravan may have problems.

There is another thing that he is more concerned about, and that is what the servant said just now, there is a red-faced man who joined the team halfway, maybe he is the second master Guan he is looking for!

I hope that Liu Bei has not left a good impression on him, and he still has a chance to recruit him under his command.

Zhang Fei didn't talk nonsense, he immediately ordered after hearing the words, and the large troops immediately assembled.After checking the weapon armor, he immediately started to move forward.Since there is no supply troop, the speed of march is much faster. In addition, three meals a day are provided, and there is also sufficient oil and water. The soldiers are much stronger in physical strength and strength than ordinary people.

Ten miles is five kilometers. According to the jogging speed, it will take about half an hour to reach the vicinity of Lousang Village.

It can be seen from a distance that outside Lousang Village, a band of thieves is trying to break into the village.In the village, the caravan's guards were trying to fight back.The hunters in the villagers also tried to use bows and arrows to help.

Perhaps because he knew that if the thieves broke into the village, he might not be able to escape, so the villagers cooperated consciously.

Xu Shi saw another army approaching in the distance, and a red-faced man who led the village frowned.After all, the thieves just came with about [-] reinforcements, who knows if there will be more.

He was having a headache, and there was a member of the Zhang family not far away, who suddenly shouted: "It's the owner's militia! It's the reinforcements!"

"I saw it, I saw it! The leader is Master Liu, and next to him is the Patriarch and Military Advisor Lu Yan!" Another person shouted.

Among the crowd, a man with a height of seven feet and five feet and shoulders hanging over his ears raised his head and looked at the team in a daze...

Chapter 9 Don't Be Afraid of Low Morale

"Create formation, slow down your pace, and adjust your breathing!" Liu Tao was in the middle, and he immediately issued an order to see that the distance between the two sides was less than one mile.

The troops who were still jogging quickly slowed down, adjusted their breathing, and formed a square formation according to Liu Tao's request.The soldiers align with each other under the restraint of the corporal leader, and between the corporal leaders, align with the rightmost team.

In the end, a neat phalanx formed quickly, at least compared to bow and arrow and sword and shield troops, it was much more neat.

"Big brother (De Ran) asked them to line up before, and this is the purpose?" Both Zhang Fei and Lu Yan noticed this change. They didn't understand why Liu Tao did that, but now they understand.

Looking at our own troops, they are also considered neat, but uneven. Comparing them to the pikemen, it seems a bit dazzling at first.

"Enemy troops appear in the rear!" On the other side of the attacking yellow turban bandits, someone finally noticed the army behind them, so they shouted, attracting the attention of other bandits.

"Could it be the defenders of Zhuo County?" Two figures with the same leader stood among the yellow scarf thieves, and one of them panicked.

"Have you ever seen an imperial army that doesn't even have armor?" Another person retorted, "I'm afraid that Zhuang Ding of the Zhang family has come... I heard that the Zhang family started to form a militia group a few days ago to conduct training in the east of the city. Time, it should be them."

"Wang Er, shall we still fight?" The person who spoke first hesitated.

"Let's go now. It's a situation where the enemy is facing the enemy. There are only a thousand people on the other side, and they are all Zhuang Ding who has only trained for a few days. We have 3000 people here. Who is afraid of whom? Zhang Da, we will concentrate our forces to gnaw him!" Wang Er But it showed a fierce face.

"Okay, fuck him!" Zhang Da gritted his teeth when he heard this, with a fierce look on his face.

Both of them are followers of the Taiping Sect. In the past few days, they have received news that the great virtuous and good teacher has caused trouble in Julu, so they have also started to contact the followers of Zhuojun here one after another.But at the end of the day, it was found that the army rations and weapons were not enough, and just received news that a three-way caravan was coming in partnership.

So Zhang Da and Wang Er made up their minds and decided to ambush him nearby, rob him, build armaments, buy military rations, wait for the brothers from other counties to come, and then raise troops to respond.They even conspired to sneak into Zhuo County one after another during this period of time, and help seize the city when the time comes.

But I didn't expect that the guards of the three caravans were very powerful, especially the red-faced man. With a tattered ring-shoulder, he charged and killed more than 30 brothers all the way, and led the caravan to hide in Lousang Village.

Originally, it was only planned to dispatch a small group. In this situation, the whole army could only be dispatched. Before the defenders of Zhuo County came, they would eat up the supplies quickly.Without him, this batch of goods is really attractive!

"Wang Er, I'll leave it to you later!" Zhang Da shouted behind him, and personally led 2000 people into formation.

"The militia group is also handed over to you!" Wang Er replied, and then personally led people to charge towards Lousang Village.He has no intention of continuing to grind slowly, relying on the large number of people, he should fight quickly.

"Archers, come out!" Seeing that the opponent suddenly split up, Lu Yan ordered immediately.

"Slow down the spear (sword and shield)!" Liu Tao and Zhang Fei ordered immediately.

The opponent approached a little bit, and the headquarters also approached a little bit. The distance from the opponent was only about 100 meters. Lu Yan immediately called to stop, and then ordered to prepare to shoot.The archer got the order, and immediately bent the bow and set the arrow, raised the hunting bow at 45 degrees, and was ready to throw.Through this method, the effective range can be extended to about 25 meters.

"If there is a chance, I must replace all the bows!" Lu Yan muttered in a low voice. This hunting bow is at most half a stone, and it can be used as a novice training. If a regular army can't even pull a stone bow, it is a waste at all. .

Having said that, the half-stone bow also means that it needs 31 catties of strength to break the bow, and it is not a Han catty, and the standard catty of later generations is used as the unit of measurement.A stone bow requires 62 catties. It is no wonder that a qualified archer needs more than one year of training. A good archer is an existence that can be met but not sought after.

Such as Huang Zhong, who can pull the three-stone bow and accurately hit the opponent, it is understandable to call it the "Arrow God".

The enemy army approached little by little. To be honest, every soldier, even Lu Yan, was very nervous.

It was Lu Yan's first time on the battlefield, and he only felt that everything in front of him gave him a completely different feeling from his impression, and he felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe.And these Zhuang Ding, who had just been transferred to soldiers, were facing so many enemies for the first time.

Seeing that the enemy army entered the range of 30 meters, Lu Yan immediately ordered to shoot.It is not easy to measure the distance. He can only make a rough estimate. Inexperience is a problem.Liu Tao has always emphasized the need to measure in advance, because during the time when the shooting is ordered and the arrow flies out, the opponent is also moving forward, shooting 30 meters back and forth, which is the best situation.

There is no need to worry that the opponent will stop, because for the soldiers in front, it is also too late to stop!

No, seeing the archers start shooting, even if Zhang Da planned to order the soldiers to stop, the arrows had already started to fall.He closed his mouth at this moment, then pulled out the saber in his hand, pointed forward and shouted: "Charge!"

The Taiping believers in Zhuojun did not practice systematically at all. In the final analysis, they existed like fighting in groups.In addition, the weapons themselves are not complete. If you look closely, some people even use branches as sticks.The ranks are also in a mess, and they can't build a formation at all.Zhang Da simply didn't need any complicated orders, he only needed to order to charge.
