Chapter 83: Going into battle in person

The military discipline of an army cannot be erected within three or two days, but a person's belief can be erected in an instant. Although this belief is still very weak, having such a weak belief is actually enough for Huo Hai. At least, in the next action, everyone listened to him. Although their abilities are limited, they are not perfect.

"Everyone has a sheepskin water bag, which should be filled with cold boiled water. Replenish water every half an hour, and use a reed tube to suck it. Once you enter a lurking state, even if the enemy is pulled into the crotch of the sling, you are not allowed to get up. If you cannot surround the enemy in this battle, we will fail and be doomed."

Huo Hai advised every group of soldiers who left the city at the gate that the more conspicuous red tassels on their helmets had long been picked, but were tied with green grass rings, some green weeds and even some wild flowers, and they were covered with blankets made of green grass. Each of them had a large shield on their hands. Before the war started, these shields were placed on the ground for them to crawl.

Of course, different types of troops have different jobs. In addition to gun and shield soldiers, there are throwers. Each of them carries a bundle of at least twenty spears, and they also have two people in groups, carrying a horse-rejecting fence that can be quickly assembled.

The most numerous soldiers were the soldiers with sickle hooks and shovels. They were generally short and covered in dusty cloth clothes, looking like they had crawled out of mud. In the past few days, they have been practicing digging pits.

Gao Sheng, who was standing next to Huo Hai, has been looking at Huo Hai with admiration these days. Unexpectedly, in just three days, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under him have all looked like strong soldiers.

"I didn't expect that as a general, he had to take care of so many things. Even how much things each soldier carries, he needed to calculate the weight." Gao Sheng saw his subordinates walking out of the city quickly, and looked at Huo Haidao with some emotion.

"Everyone has a limit on physical strength and weight bearing. Unbalanced distribution of weight bearing will lead to some people walking fast and some people walking slowly. After the army is pulled out, it is a whole. In order to successfully start the war, people who walk fast often stop and wait for people who walk slowly. This is like a wooden barrel is made of twelve wooden boards, but one wooden board is relatively short, so in this barrel, you can only hold the water at most of the shortest plate height.

Although the combat tasks that everyone undertakes are different during the battle, it is necessary to be balanced when marching, so that some people can not make the broken wooden board to ensure that everyone arrives at the scheduled battlefield within the scheduled time." Huo Hai explained to Gao Sheng.

"Then why should we arrive at the scheduled battlefield at the scheduled time? Is it very important to go later or earlier?" Gao Sheng asked Huo Hai again.

"Of course there is a big gap. We are all infantry and need to avoid the risks we encounter with the enemy to the greatest extent. After all, we cannot predict Gongsun Zan's next itinerary. We can only calculate his radius of action to find an absolutely safe place to arrange a trap encirclement." Huo Hai explained to Gao Sheng.

Obviously, Gao Sheng couldn't understand what the radius of action was. He just knew that according to the data calculated by Huo Hai, it was completely impossible for him and others to encounter Gongsun Zan before the encirclement position was arranged.

Seeing Huo Hai talking to Gao Sheng very well, Zhang Ning had no intention of relaxing at all. In fact, Huo Hai calculated every aspect of the entire battle very clearly, and there would be no mistakes in this aspect. But the biggest problem is that the battlefield is changeable, and you cannot use reservations to get and go to others.

In addition, there is another big problem, that is, Huo Hai is a man who has never been on the battlefield. It is said that after he saw the battle between Chu Yan and the Sun family last time, he almost vomited his heart and courage. If he was in this state on the spot, he would not be able to command the soldiers to fight.

After all, the blood will float like rain in the battle between thousands and tens of thousands of people. People who have never felt it or adapted to such a powerful murderous aura can generally not bear it.

"Are you sure you're going to do this by yourself?" Seeing Huo Hai put on his backpack and ready to set off, Zhang Ning looked at Huo Haidao with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'm just doing the battlefield commander. Gao Sheng and the others do the job of leading people to charge. Moreover, Zuo Yuanfang is responsible for protecting my safety. No one in Gongsun Zan's army can hurt me." Huo Hai smiled and pinched Zhang Ning's face.

His intimate action immediately made Zhang Ning's face turn red and he turned his body to the side.

Huo Hai, who was a little embarrassed, took his hand back and wiped it on his legs embarrassedly. For the past six months, Zhang Ning and other women have been with him, which makes him a little used to natural intimate actions.

Because they already understood that it would be a matter of time before they could get married, but with the old Taoist priest Yu Ji watching from the side, they probably had no substantial progress within three years.

The army could not wait for Huo Hai alone, so Huo Hai could not chat with Zhang Ning at the city gate. After carrying a bag and taking the weapons, he was still walking as fast as a 100-pound pound. His physical fitness was probably the biggest difference between him and when he first came here.

Now that his internal strength has been stable in the early stage, his strength in all aspects is no less than Wang Dang's original state. Perhaps because of his great skills and courage, he was no longer so scared when he saw those reckless men with high martial arts skills.

After walking for two consecutive hours, the army had already walked twenty miles away. Even if the itinerary for one morning is over, it would be a good situation to be able to walk fifteen miles before dusk.

After all, the Yellow Turban Army's daily supplies cannot be compared with the Black Mountain Army. They need a lot of time to bury pots and make rice, or even pick the blisters on their feet, because they are wearing straw sandals that are very uncomfortable and traveling fifty miles a day, which is something that the most elite infantry in the court can do. It is obviously impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to meet this standard.

"We will arrive at the designated location tonight, and we will have only one night to prepare. In addition to the lurking location, the trenches of Tibetans must be dug as soon as possible, as well as horse pits that can be quickly assembled and integrated horse-rejected piles." After Huo Hai ate some dry food randomly, he shouted Gao Sheng, Peng Lian, Zhang Wan and other leaders of the Yellow Turban Army.

"I heard that Baima Yichen is good at riding and shooting. All the soldiers can even drive two stone longbows, shoot two bags of arrows, and use stirrups to hide to avoid Hu Qi's bows and arrows. The most important thing is that when selecting soldiers, their cavalry need to have the ability to use a cavalry to pick the horse-resisting stake. Can our ambush really kill them?" Even though they were already very prepared, Peng Lian, Zhang Jun and others still didn't have any confidence.

Infantry ambush cavalry is a rare battle example, because cavalry is fast and comes and goes freely, and taking the initiative in the battlefield has always been their advantage.

If the infantry cannot win a complete victory in one battle, then the next one may be ruthlessly hit.

Not to mention that there are three thousand white horses, even five or six hundred cavalry, can cause huge damage to 20,000 infantrymen. In history, Guan Yu's battle of white horses was just five or six hundred cavalry rushing forward.

"Don't worry, Gongsun Zan will be defeated in this battle." Huo Hai said confidently.

"Does Master Huo use immortal techniques to deal with them? If this is the case, we will feel relieved." Peng Lian saw Huo Hai's affirmation, remembering the skills Huo Hai showed on the stage before, and said excitedly.

"Immortal skills cannot be used randomly. They will damage my Taoism. It is enough to deal with Gongsun Zan. You don't need to use my immortal skills. The reason I am so sure is because I predicted that Yuan Shao doesn't want to see Gongsun Zan take the lead in the war against us. He just wants Gongsun Zan to consume us." Huo Hai hooked his mouth.

But don’t look at how enthusiastic Yuan Shao was when he recommended Gongsun Zan as a pioneer to Huangfu Song. In fact, he was a sinister and cunning person. Since he learned that Pan Feng’s combat power was really the same as Guan Zhang and even Lu Bu, Huo Hai was sure that Yuan Shao was a person who did not use any means for his great cause. If he hadn’t poisoned him, Pan Feng, who had a reputation, would not have been able to even be able to take a move of Hua Xiong, who was not as strong as the top.

A big shot like Gongsun Zan who controls force in the north is likely to become the chosen son of God, so Yuan Shao will definitely treat him as a competitor.

Therefore, even if Yuan Shao knew that there would be something wrong with Gongsun Zan's troops this time, he would never tell Gongsun Zan.

Of course, Huo Hai told them about this and made them confused. It would be better to tell them something real, such as how many people Zhang Bao brought to help.

The huge number of troops can really make Peng Lian and other unknown guys feel their chests hot, for example, the 100,000 troops brought by Zhang Bao this time.

However, Gao Sheng, when he heard this number, he looked frowning. Obviously, he has been running errands with Huo Hai these days and has grown a lot. He knows the principle that the more people there are, the greater the responsibility. Zhang Bao is likely to sacrifice his head for so many people to survive.

"Master Huo Xian, will my master intercept Gongsun Zan on the road to retreat?" With Huo Hai there, Gao Sheng did not think that this battle would be lost, so he asked Huo Hai.

"No, they will join the Flying Cavalry, and then sneak attack the camps of the court army when the imperial army attacked the city." Huo Hai smiled and shook his head.

"A hundred thousand troops attacked?" Gao Sheng said with some disbelief.

After all, the movement of 100,000 people was too loud, and except for the Wind Cavalry, the rest were all infantry, so it was impossible to attack the sneak attack.

"As long as your master appears beside the imperial army with a hundred thousand troops, it will have the effect of a sneak attack. If the Qifeng Cavalry moves in the direction of Wei County, they will have to divide their troops to guard it. At that time, they will have no choice but to do anything to you. Unless you cut off food and beg for surrender from them, they will not be able to advance or retreat." Huo Hai explained to Gao Sheng and others.

These days, Zhang Liang has consumed more than 10,000 imperial troops by exchanging his life. Now Huangfu Song has less than 40,000 troops! Faced with two troops worth 100,000, and the harassment of cavalry in the rear, he could not take the initiative to attack. He would definitely choose the most conservative method to defend the camp and drag it for a month to exhaust the food and grass of the Yellow Turban Army and take the initiative to surrender.

But this was just Huo Hai's unilateral idea, because there were capable people in the imperial camp, Zhou Ling and others had roughly known Huo Hai's intention to act. Their main purpose was to help Yuan Shao fight for the position of the chosen son of the Heavenly Son, and to consume the strength of Huo Hai, a strange man from the sky.

Therefore, they may sit idly by the way of Gongsun Zan being defeated by Huo Hai, but they will definitely not sit idly by the way of the court army being defeated by Huo Hai.

As for the ways to deal with some things that might happen next, Huo Hai talked to a few people again, and rode a fast horse to the woods where Huo Hai and others rested. He was the messenger of the Fengqi.

"Reported, Battalion Commander Chu has a letter."

Huo Hai opened the letter and frowned. Gongsun Zan didn't know what was going crazy, but he actually chased them for four hours in one breath. Now, they may have to arrive at the preset battlefield three hours ahead of the scheduled time. You know, Huo Hai reserved a total of only five hours for the arrangement of the encirclement, so now they must hurry to the arrangement immediately.
