Elf version of the Three Kingdoms

After more than twenty days of training, one hundred thousand soldiers have mastered various insertion and extraction methods.

Whether it is day camp, night camp, dusk camp, noon camp, rapid camp camp, gradual camp camp, intensive camp camp, partial camp camp...

In short, in terms of skills in setting up and breaking out of camps, and in terms of defense skills in field plain areas, this -strong coalition army can be regarded as the strongest in the world.

"Brother, this nagging leader finally allowed us to get outside Sishui Pass. Isn't one day's journey enough?"

As dusk approached, Liu Bei, under the instruction of the leader of the coalition, took his two major captains and five thousand ordinary cavalry to the plains five miles outside Sishui Pass to make preliminary preparations before setting up camp.

For Liu Bei, this was the most time he had ever led an army alone in his campaign career, and it was also the first time he had led an entire cavalry unit.

"Yide, there is nothing wrong with the alliance leader being cautious." On the back of another white horse beside Liu Bei, Jiuweizi Sichuan Pan, dressed in a blue robe, calmly held a cup of tea in his paws .

"You see, after we have been marching for more than days, the Sishui guard did not dare to send troops to attack at all. This is the best proof."

"Zichuan, what you said makes sense, but..." Zhang Fei sat on the horse, rubbed his palms impatiently, and then said excitedly, "But if there is no battle to fight, how can we brothers Be famous all over the world!”

The bronze-colored rabbit sitting in front of Zhang Fei tilted his head back, glanced at Zhang Fei, and then continued to hold the reins and control the horse's progress.

"Third brother, don't be impatient." On the side, Guan Yu, a man in green robe and long beard, was holding a book and reading it with the burning bug on his shoulder.

As Xunhe announces his papermaking, printing and other techniques, more and more books will be printed in volumes, just like the Spring and Autumn Annals in Guan Yu's hands.

The merchants were more excited than the princes in the court to publish it to the world without seeking any profit. Many of the works owned by the merchant families themselves were published.

Of course, most of the current consumers are from aristocratic families, poor families and various princes. It is useless for ordinary people to give them books.

"Sooner or later we will have a battle with that Dong thief. Even if the vanguard of the camp cannot be encountered this time, there will be an opportunity to spread the reputation of my three brothers at Hulao Pass in the future."

Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he is very open-minded about some things. He has not yet become famous, and the arrogance in his bones is still his advantage. It will only keep him self-conscious and sober.

"It's... really troublesome." Zhang Fei looked regretful and looked worriedly at the water beyond his sight.

After a while, he continued to ask, "Brother, Zichuan, what do you think we should do if the Sishui guard robs our camp? By then, won't all the traps we dug become theirs!"

When he was about to reach his destination, Zhang Fei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and put forward his own opinion.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were both shocked when they heard this, because Xun Yu's order to them was to dig a circle consisting of a horse pit. The open space inside the circle should be reserved enough to accommodate a camp of people, and then let them Just leave and ignore this camp.

But what if after they leave, the enemy forces camp directly on the fortifications they built?

They only had cavalry and could not stop them.

"I didn't expect Yide to react first." Zichuan, who was leisurely holding a tea cup, didn't panic at all, because Zhang Fei only saw the first floor.

"Xuande, Yun Chang, Yide, look at what the sky is like now?" Zichuan looked at the sky calmly.

Hearing this, Liu, Guan and Zhang raised their necks and looked at the sky.

I saw white clouds floating in the blue sky, and there was nothing unusual except that the sun was approaching dusk.

"Zichuan, what does this mean?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask.

Jiuweizikawa smiled slightly, "By the time we finish digging the horse pit, the sun will have set. Do you think there is any other army in the world that can camp at night like us?"

"That's it!" Zhang Fei clapped his hands excitedly, "Haha, this alliance leader really has something."

Although he felt that Xun He was too young, at this moment Zhang Fei really admired Xun He from the bottom of his heart for the first time, "We are all cavalry this time. If something goes wrong, we can just mount the horse and run away, even if the barbarian Hua Xiong comes with his troops." Xi, my second brother and I are not without the strength to fight."

After Zichuan's suggestion, Zhang Fei immediately thought of the third level.

Perhaps among the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, Zhang Fei was the most resourceful one. When Liu Bei and Guan Yu were still confused, Zhang Fei had already thought of the deeper content under Zichuan's reminder.

He is worthy of being a man who is both coarse and fine, who can draw pictures of beautiful ladies and flirt with Xiahou Mei.

Perhaps this is the advantage of being born strong, and it is not an advantage that can be smoothed out in a short time.

However, this was not enough in front of the hundred-year-old Jiuweizichuan. "If I expected it right, Xun Jieruo had planned this moment from the beginning. Camping five miles outside the city gate, he still had a world-famous reputation on the other side. In front of the Xiliang cavalry."

"This courage and resourcefulness are comparable to those of Zhang Liang and Han Xin."

Later, Zichuan thought about another question and asked it to Liu Bei, "Xuande, if someone told you before that a hundred thousand troops could set up camp within an hour, would you believe it?"

Camping in ancient times was very particular, but no matter how particular it was, it would not be as sophisticated as modern times. This was especially true for the tents arranged by Xunhe.

The number of camps is actually less than the number of people. The troops organized for patrols and checkpoints are all sharing one tent.

Don't expect to sleep ten or twenty people in one tent. Just follow the sardine packing method. Anyway, there won't be so many people after a while. Baima Yicong may have a better life, but that's it, princes and the like You can enjoy it, but there are only a few princes, and they are definitely a minority compared to an army of .

Although Xun Yu's ideal is that everyone in the Han Dynasty will be like a dragon in the future, for the current Han Dynasty and these soldiers who can be said to be innocent, he can only say an unsincere "sorry" from the bottom of his heart.

The method of dealing with pooping and urinating is also very simple. You can just find a trap and solve it. In ancient times, there was no need to consider environmental sanitation issues at all.

But in two hours, they were able to build a camp that could resist cavalry charges. This was nothing short of a miracle in ancient times.

Liu Bei, a pure-bred ancient man, naturally knew the difficulties involved. "On the first day of camp, it took a hundred thousand troops a whole day. Later, it was the alliance leader who made arrangements that gradually shortened the time."

"Thinking about it, this must be the prime minister's foresight. I believe we can conquer the Sishui Pass without waiting for two months."

At this moment, Liu Bei was full of confidence.

Confidence in the big man and belief in his own bloodline.

"Of course it's a good thing that you have confidence." Zichuan said with a smile, "But now we need to dig the horse trap outside the camp first."

At this moment, the location where the coalition camp was stationed had arrived.

It is 5 miles away from Sishui Pass, which is less than two kilometers away. Sishui Pass can be seen relatively clearly from here.

Therefore, Liu Bei gave the order directly.

"Everyone will obey!"

"Yun Chang, Yide, you two each lead a thousand men and horses to support each other from a distance. The rest of the army disperses and dismounts to dig a hole!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei clasped their fists and said yes, and immediately led a thousand cavalry under their command to rush towards the direction of Bishui Pass.

Although Liu Bei brought five thousand cavalry, only two thousand of them had combat effectiveness, and the remaining three thousand were just engineering infantry trained by Xun or who would not fall off their horses.

There is only one purpose and selection criterion for these engineering infantry, and that is to dig holes! ——Pits of moderate size, appropriate depth, and irregular distribution.

It is actually not difficult to dig a hole here, because it is winter, and this area was originally fertile farmland, not hard soil. With a Luoyang shovel inserted, twisted and pulled out, a hole as thick and shallow as a forearm was dug out.

Then pour the soil aside, and continue to use the Luoyang shovel to expand the pit until a person can stand in the pit and the depth of the pit is less than half of the calf.

The shoveled soil can be piled aside.

If the army needs to break camp, just send people to fill the pits with soil in advance.

The pits were dug back and forth in this way, covering an area of ​​ten to twenty meters. Any cavalry charging here would have to kneel down, and kneel down literally.

In this way, three thousand people spent two hours digging all the pits and forming a defensive line to trap people.

Before the advent of tanks, this line of defense would have been a nightmare for any high-speed mobile force.
