Chapter 1396 The Array of Heaven (Page 1/1)

Guo Wu returned to the camp and reported to Sun Ce and Guo Jia the detailed process of sending the war letter. Sun Ce was so happy that he couldn't stop. He just cared about Guo Wu to pay attention to inquire about some situations. Unexpectedly, Guo Wu was so brave and had so many tricks, even Zhang He's existence was cheated out. He is worthy of being a member of the Guo family, and he has a talent for indirect attacks in his bones.

"Fengxiao, what do you think?"

"Su Yi is a character." Guo Jia crossed his legs and looked at the Qu Yi camp in the distance, with both complacent and worry in his eyes. "I can still bear it when I was humiliated in person."

Sun Ce closed his smile and sighed. He agreed with Guo Jia's opinion. Que Yi seemed rough and generous, but in fact he was very scheming and did not give in. He clearly had superior troops, but he refused to take the initiative to attack. Even if he had already taken advantage of it, he refused to waste Longyuan Water, a line of defense with limited functions, and never missed any advantage that could be exploited. Details determine success or failure. The so-called victory, especially when both sides are equal in size, is accumulated from a little victory. It is definitely not something that can be achieved with a single inspiration and a plan. A glimpse of it shows that Que Yi is a very difficult opponent, and it is never easy to defeat him.

"Since that's the case, we will use the way of others and treat them, start with the power of their son, accumulate small victories as a big victory, and break his confidence bit by bit, so that he can appreciate our true strength."

Guo Jia shook his feather fan. "The general is right. Compared to winning by surprise, a dignified formation can destroy the will of the opponent. In this battle, we must show our might and make everyone think carefully before they want to be enemies with us. Don't act rashly, and at least strive for peace for two to three years. Otherwise, if a group of wolves are around us, we will not be able to withstand it after a long time."

"Leave Kuo Yi to me, Xun Yan to you, we will find opponents and win them in battle."

"Okay." Guo Jia agreed with gaze. "General, judging from what Ziwei said, the Huns were depressed and were not valued by Qu Yi, so they should be able to defeat them in one fell swoop. It's better..."

Sun Ce shook his head. "No, good steel should be used on the blade. It is precisely because the Huns are strong outside and the middle, we should not use the killer weapon on them. Let's leave it to Yuan Shao." He smiled. "Even if the casualties will be greater, I will have the confidence to defeat Que Yi. Besides, let Yanming make contributions first, lay the foundation, and warm up the final drama."

Guo Jia laughed loudly and nodded in agreement.

Although it was agreed to a decisive battle tomorrow, Sun Ce still made arrangements in advance. He ordered Yan Xing and Ma Chao to go out to patrol the camp, inquire along the upstream and downstream of Longyuan Water, hunt and kill the opponent's scouts, familiarize themselves with the terrain, and find places suitable for crossing the water. Infantry would set up a floating bridge to attack forcibly, while cavalry needed to find places that could wader through so that they could quickly cross the river and launch an assault when necessary. At the same time, the cavalry guerrillas around can also play a role in disrupting the opponent's sight. Since Tuo Yi wanted to defend the camp and gave up his initiative, Sun Ce could freely choose the attack point that suited him.

Tuo Yi passed through the battlefield for a long time, so naturally he would not let Sun Ce take advantage of his wish. He confronted him and sent Xiongnu cavalry to block the attack. The cavalry on both sides carried out encirclement and anti-encirclement and suppression near Longyuan, pursuing and counter-pursuing, and more than ten battles a day. Such battles had happened many times before. The Huns were already scared by Ma Chao and Yan Xing and were unwilling to go to battle at all, but under the order of Tuo Yi, he had to bite the bullet. One day and one night, hundreds of cavalry were injured and killed, and they went to humble their ancestors and scolded the ancestors of the Tuo family in a bloody way, hating them, but they could do nothing.

Sun Ce and the generals were resting early. However, Guo Jia and his military planners did not sleep all night. Based on the information inquired by the cavalry and scouts, they made a comprehensive assessment of the battlefield within 30 to 40 miles around Longyuan, selected a suitable place to launch an attack, and arranged alert and blocking people in places where the opponent might be attacked. The enemy was large and we were few. If we were not prepared for the response, if Xun Yan surrounded him, it would be a disaster.

The next morning, when Sun Ce woke up, Guo Jia delivered the final combat plan to him. Sun Ce glanced at Guo Jia whose eyes were red. "Thank you for your hard work."

"I dare not complain." Guo Jia yawned. "If there is no problem, I will arrange for people to send them to the battalions, and after the food is in progress, I can attack."

Sun Ce stood up and signed his name on the combat plan. Guo Jia immediately arranged for people to send him to each battalion. The generals of each battalion participated in the previous plan and were mentally prepared for how to fight. The combat plan he got now only added some details and did not change much. It would be enough to browse it when eating breakfast.

The same is true for Sun Ce. While having breakfast, he was talking to Guo Jia.

When the sun rose to a high point, Xu Ding, the captain in charge of the preliminary preparation, came to report that they had already set up a formation south of Longyuan Water, prepared to build a floating bridge and force the crossing of Longyuan Water. Sun Ce got up and got on the horse surrounded by Guo Wu and others. Ma Chao and Pang De followed with Bai Lishi. When passing Gongsun Xu's camp, Ma Chao shouted loudly: "Gongsun Bosi, we will fight with the general, you can stay at the camp with peace of mind. The safety of Guo Jijiu and the military plan depends entirely on you. When we defeat Tuo Yi, we will notify you to beat the dog in the water."

Gongsun Xu's big tent was closed and silently. Several white horses stood at the door and looked at Ma Chao angrily. Gongsun Xu was a proton and could only stay in the camp. Watching Sun Ce and Tuo Yi fight, but they could not follow Sun Ce to fight, so they were ashamed of washing the world bridge. Ma Chao took advantage of the injustice and came to tease them at this time. They were very annoyed and wanted to resent Ma Chao, but they did not dare to be arrogant in front of Sun Ce.

Sun Ce stopped Ma Chao, kicked the horse lightly, and accelerated out of the camp. Half of the central army wanted to fight with him, and had already set up a formation on the Longyuan Water, and the camp was a little empty. The war horse galloped past and left the camp, passing through the gap between the front camp. Before he reached the Longyuan Water, he saw the central army's flag fluttering in the wind. Today was the southeast wind, and the wind was not small, and the big crows blew, and the phoenix on the flag seemed to spread its wings and fly.

Sun Ce raised his head, looked at Caixia in the sky, a little uneasy, and turned around and said to Ma Chao. "Meng Qi, it may rain heavily today, you are ready. If the water level rises, some places may not be able to leave."

Ma Chao raised his hand and knocked on his helmet and replied loudly: "General, don't worry, the Military Scheme Department has marked all the possible dangerous places. I will remember them all in my mind and will never make any mistakes. But the Huns are in trouble. Whether or not they dare to come out in this weather is a problem. Alas, I still want to kill and go to the bare. If he doesn't go to the battle, I will go to find him."

"Don't think about beheading and making meritorious contributions." Sun Ce shouted: "It's not worthwhile to get rid of the humble head, at least it's not as valuable as your safety. Don't be careless."

"I understand." Ma Chao responded happily, kicked the war horse hard, and ran forward with Bai Lishi. Guo Wu glanced at Ma Chao's back and smiled and said, "General, look at it. Ma Mengqi will definitely not be at peace today. He will never watch Yan Xing make contributions. The people of Xiliang are like this, they are so brave and cruel, and no one will accept anyone. They are as fierce as internal and external fighting."

Sun Ce did not speak, and he smiled secretly in his heart. The disagreement between the people of Xiliang was exactly what he hoped. If they were all gentle, respectful, frugal, and united, how could he defeat them one by one and make them fight for themselves?
