Chapter 3478 Out of the Plan

"Report! The left-wing Sima Yifu chased the enemy to the depression, and entered the enemy's trap!"

Fei Qian was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and then a little nameless fire rose.

I just mentioned to Sima Yi two days ago that you should be cautious!

But before Fei Qian got angry, another messenger rushed over, "Report to the cavalry! Sima is engaged in defeating the enemy! Now he is breaking through the enemy's encirclement!"

The two completely opposite information made Fei Qian a little confused.

Fei turned his head and said to Huang Xu: "Send someone to the left wing immediately to check the situation and report it immediately!"

Huang Xu received the order and immediately dispatched several personal guards of the cavalry to go to the left wing to investigate the situation.

Fei Qian couldn't help but reach out and rub his forehead.

Headache.

This is the case on the battlefield, and inaccurate and unsmooth information is a common problem. Even if the messenger reports the information, Fei Qian still needs to go through his own analysis and interpretation before making corresponding judgments and decisions.

Not only the current Zhongtiaoshan camp, but also the troops in Tongguan and the Sichuan and Shu army farther away are relatively backward. Therefore, there is a general outside and the king's orders are unacceptable. After all, the orders issued from the king may become completely inapplicable after reaching the front line.

Of course, this must be mutual trust between the king and the general and have unified goals, otherwise this sentence will be taken out of context and become an excuse for lip service.

Fei Qian turned his head and looked at the retreating wounded soldiers, "Let me prepare more hot soup behind me! Also prepare more firewood! Dry cloth! Give priority to care for injuries and diseases!"

The messenger answered loudly and ran backwards.

No one wants to be abandoned or abandoned.

Fei Qian actually didn't give much, but at least Fei Qian actually showed his concern for these lower-level soldiers and thought about them, which actually represented a respectful attitude.

As for the soldiers at the bottom, they may not care about life and death, but they may care about whether they have been respected.

This may be a very strange phenomenon, but it has appeared repeatedly and repeated in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

Respect, a simple but not simple word.

The snow in early winter will come soon. Fighting on such a cold night, you will freeze if you wear less and sweat if you wear too much. Whether it is freezing or sweating, as long as you stop and the cold wind blows, you will easily get wind and cold. In addition, cold water and cold food, diarrhea may be inevitable. As long as one is not controlled well, collective epidemics may become popular, just like Cao Cao fought against the Red Cliff in history.

If Fei Qian gives ordinary soldiers a little respect, then these ordinary soldiers will give Fei Qian a little reward.

From the continuous harassment and combat in the past two days to the overnight attack now, it consumes a lot of physical and energy for the soldiers, but Fei Qian did not hear any complaints or fear of fighting.

Heroes and the people are originally complementary, but some people will intentionally or unintentionally exaggerate the heroes, and then erase the efforts and struggles of the people.

The reason why an emperor can become an emperor is not just to bring a crown, but to make the people willing to accept this emperor.

An emperor without people is like a chicken without hair.

Fei Qian turned around and confirmed that all the wounded soldiers were arranged to be treated, and then asked the guard who returned from the left wing, "What is the situation?"

The guard reported: "Sima was engaged in leading troops to attack the outer camp of Cao's army. Zhao Quchang, who was under him, chased Cao's defeated troops too deep. When he went to a deserted mountain, he encountered Cao's ambush..."

The guard generally tells the story.

The ambushed was not Sima Yi, but a Qu Chang under Sima Yi.

Cao's army lured Naqu into the deserted mountains and concave, and then launched an ambush. However, for some reason, Cao's ambush did not work completely. Sima Yi later led his troops to rescue Naqu's army. Seeing that the damage was not serious, Cao's army was a little confused because the ambush failed, so he took the opportunity to fight back and break through the central circle defense line on the west side of Cao's army.

After listening, Fei Qian nodded and said nothing.

It is normal for changes to occur on the battlefield.

Fei Qian can accept an accident, but if you have already explained the precautions and have artificial mistakes, then you cannot forgive it. From now on, it seems to be fine, but you still have to wait until the war to understand the specific matters.

Sima Yi has opened a hole on the flank...

Xu Chu was blocked by the fire.

Most people may think that Sima Yi is better than Xu Chu, but Fei Qian believes that it is because Sima Yi has done more homework than Xu Chu in the arrangement and geographical landscape of the Cao army on the west side of Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, and has prepared more fully than Xu Chu.

That's the case...

With Sima Yi alone, it was obviously impossible to expand the results of the war and defeat the Cao army camp, so Fei Qian had to tilt his combat power towards Sima Yi, which meant that Xu Chu would receive less support.

Fei Qian originally wanted to make Xu Chu more contributions.

After all, in Shandong, the civil servant series is undoubtedly too strong, while the military general series is a little weaker.

However, before Fei Qian could think for too long, the news from Sima Yi made Fei Qian make a decision immediately. Sima Yi found the remaining craftsmen in the deserted mountains and asked about several places where gunpowder was buried!

The problem that Fei Qian was worried about at the beginning of his battle was Cao's army's gunpowder.

Although Fei Qian knew that Shandong's gunpowder was very average, it was still a headache if there were too many.

That's why Fei Qian asked his troops to use rockets to ignite the Zhongtiaoshan Camp, hoping to ignite the flames through the northwest wind to ignite and detonate some traps preset by the Cao army. However, I don't know if it was because I didn't reach the right place, or if the Cao army was also prepared, it seemed that it did not achieve any good results, which made Fei Qian hesitate and difficult to break. Now if the area of ​​the Cao army's trap can be determined, and then the defense map given by Lu Chang, the war fog in the Zhongtiaoshan Camp cannot be completely removed, at least it can be understood.

Fei Qian immediately asked someone to check the information sent by Sima Yi with the Zhongtiao Mountain defense map on hand. It turned out that the location information of the trap reported by Sima Yi was indeed credible!

It is very simple. Most of these traps are scattered around the mountain path, scattered between the middle and inner circles of Zhongtiao Mountain. For Cao's army, it is obviously meaningless to dig a trap that is obviously no one to go, or is not at a place where the troops are deployed. Therefore, based on Lu Chang's defense map, you can determine the approximate authenticity of these traps.

Fei Qian thought for a moment and then issued an order, "Come here! Quickly excerpt this picture and send it to the front army!"

After the trap map, the speed of the cavalry advance was greatly accelerated.

The Cavalry Army, which was originally in the middle circle, was originally worried about advancing the trap. Now that they knew the approximate location of the trap, they directly interspersed and attacked directly from the middle of the trap. The soldiers in the Cao army, who were interspersed and broken through, were worried about being divided and surrounded, so they could only retreat in a hurry. Therefore, the Cao army's central circle, which might have taken some time to break through, was easily captured by the Cavalry Army.

Of course, there are also some unsmooth sounds during the multi-line attack.

For example, some of Xu Chu's soldiers got lost in the mountains. Under the pressure of the fire, some of Xu Chu's men could only avoid the invasion of the flames, and then deviated from their original route. Without being able to communicate with each other, their opinions could not be unified. This small number of people were actually dispersed into three parts, and the trends of these three parts were different.

A stream of Cao's army's cordon that tried to bypass the central circle and attacked the rear position of Cao's army. As a result, because he was not familiar with the road, he climbed the cliff and was forced to return. Not only wasted time, he also lost his soldiers because of climbing the cliff.

Another one was trying to return to the original road again, but because the original road was covered with flames, it was impossible to get through...

Only the last one was to retreat directly to the foot of the mountain, and then search for the establishment and return to the team again.

This kind of incident also exposes the weak communication problems of Fei Qian's troops in this noisy combat environment.

However, Fei Qian has no solution to this problem now.

Whether it is a copper whistle, bronze mirror, horn, flag, bonfire and other traditional means, in this area with insufficient light and undulating mountains, under the current productivity conditions, it is undoubtedly a dream to say that information can be effectively transmitted.

Because of the unsmooth information transmission, some problems arise here in Feiqian, and in the Cao army, this kind of problems are even more common.

The fierce fighting sounds on the battlefield around them, the roar of war drums and horse hooves in the cavalry formation at the foot of the mountain, rushed towards the central army of Zhongtiao Mountain camp, shaking the flags on the central army of Cao's army and rolled them upside down.

Dong Zhao looked up at the flag rolling, but his heart became more and more panicked.

Compared with the ordinary Cao army soldiers on the periphery, the soldiers in the inner circle are naturally relatively elite. Even though the Zhongtiao Mountain camp is now broken through by the Cavalry Army, these soldiers are still standing in their respective positions, which can provide some psychological comfort to Dong Zhao.

Looking at the various guarding equipment in the camp, they are ready to stop.

After the village wall, a circle of large shields were specially added, and a knife trolley was prepared for congestion and sand and gravel to extinguish the flames...

Outside the Central Army camp, two roads around the camp have been cleared out in the moat, and signs have been made.

This is to prepare if the defeated soldiers in the middle and outer circles attack the central army, the defeated soldiers can be allowed to bypass the camp along the road to avoid being directly attacked by the defeated soldiers.

These preparations are incomplete, but for some reason, Dong Zhao's heart seemed to be trapped in an abyss, falling all the time, unable to see the bottom.

In about one or two hours, a new day will come and the sun will rise again.

But what about Zhongtiaoshan Camp?

From the beginning of the war, Dong Zhao's mood changed repeatedly. From the initial joy of thinking that the cavalry had fallen into the trap, to the affirmation that he could still bear it, to the failure of Cao's soldiers to show their brave anger as against Sima Yi last time, and finally to the current doubts about the overall situation...

If Dong Zhao's response was separated, there was nothing wrong with it. He generally implemented the strategy left by Cao Cao, basically controlled the fluctuations in the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, and in principle he completed his responsibilities as a commander...

During the day, Dong Zhao was still full of confidence.

In the Central Army's tent, the voice was loud and the orders were issued were decisive and clear.

But after nightfall, the Cavalry Army fought at night, which surprised Dong Zhao and Cao's soldiers. Originally, they thought that the Cavalry Army would only raid one wave, and then like the last time, they could not break through the middle circle, so they would naturally retreat and fight again the next day...

With a little bit of fighting, Cao's army is likely to be able to withstand it.

After all, the pressure is partial and temporary. Dong Zhao can arrange rotation to extend the effective combat time of Cao's soldiers as much as possible.

However, now the Cavalry Army continues to attack, and is equipped with quite a lot of troops in all three directions, especially on the left and right wings, which makes Dong Zhao lose sight of one thing.

The west side of the camp was captured. Although the east side was blocked by a large fire, the flames would eventually be extinguished...

As for the Cavalry Army in the middle, although the attack speed is not fast, who can ensure that the heavy armored infantry that are arranged in the array will not directly rush forward in the next moment?

Therefore, Dong Zhao did not dare to allocate troops at will, so there was no way to let Cao's soldiers take turns to rest.

Therefore, the gap between Cao's army and the soldiers of the Cavalry Army in terms of physical fitness and quality became more obvious.

"Military advisor! The cavalry and the eastern passerby were bypassing the line of fire and attacking the central circle again! The central circle military academy was in urgent need of help!"

"Military advisor! The cavalry army threw the Five Elements Thunder, destroying the East Third Battalion! Our army was defeated! Zhang Junjiao died in battle!"

"Military advisor! Shoot the wind camp and ask for arrows! Less than ten remaining arrows!"

"Military advisor! General Jiang Bing was defeated and he was in danger of his death! His troops were dispersed and could not be gathered for a while!"

"Military advisor! Go up the mountain to launch a trap! The cavalry army is defeated and is already retreating!"

"Military advisor! The cavalry army avoided the trap and broke through the five camps of the Central Fence! Chen Military Academy asked for help!"

"Military advisor! The brigade of troops on the west side of the cavalry did not go to Beishankou and entered the western side road...
