Chapter 1795 Advance, Forward Attack
Gao Ding led his barbarians up the mountain.
Liu Fan silently began to prepare for tomorrow''s attack.
Liu Fan really doesn''t have much impression of Liu Bei. In the past, Liu Fan was a consciously in the center of the imperial court, well-informed and able to call the wind and rain, but now he can only rely on guesswork and deduction.
Is Fei Qian so powerful now?
What kind of character is this Liu Bei who was defeated by Fei Qian?
In Liu Fan''s memory, Fei Qian still looks like he was in the days of Li and Guo. Although he has some soldiers and horses, he is still out of shape by the old bosses in the court. But now the handsome old man seems to have passed away for a long time, and even the Zhong family has made no sound. On the contrary, Fei Qian, who somewhat deviated from the central political arena back then, is getting better and better, and even Liu Fan is a little envious when he hears it.
If…
Forget it, let’s focus on the present moment!
As for Liu Bei''s specific situation, Liu Fan has only listened to it at most, but he has never encountered it, and he doesn''t know. But now, Liu Fan doesn''t dare to take Liu Bei too lightly. At least starting from Jianning, when he arrived here, the original plan fell on Liu Bei, forcing Liu Fan and Gao Ding to change their strategy and adopt a more risky and more dangerous strategy. Larger, more losses way to fight, this explains some problems to a certain extent.
Although Liu Fan has held the title of governor of Jiaozhou for a long time, unfortunately, he did not gain more soldiers and strength from this title. At that time, he exchanged such a name with his meritorious service in suppressing Li Guo. At first, he thought that he could connect with his father, at least with the help of part of Sichuan and Shu''s power, but he never expected that Liu Yan would fall ill shortly thereafter. He died again, so that Liu Fan almost wanted to fight Jiaozhou with his bare hands.
Fortunately, I got Liu Du''s care, but human affection will naturally become thinner with use.
Liu Du himself has to bear the pressure of Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and it does not mean that he can live happily. So Liu Fan had to leave, otherwise he would be involved in the power struggle between Liu Du, Liu Biao and Sun Quan.
However, leaving Liu Du''s territory is like duckweed that has lost its source. Liu Fan doesn''t know how long he can float in this chaotic torrent.
Now if you want to take root in Sichuan and Sichuan, you must first remove the stones blocking the way.
It’s just that I don’t know whether this rock is as huge and unshakable as a mountain, or it’s like a small gravel falling from the mountain road...
Ambush is naturally the trump card of the army. Everyone knows this, but the problem is how to lure the opponent into the ambush. The best place to ambush is naturally in this unnamed valley, but Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others have not come in, they always have to find a way, and Gao Ding''s suggestion is undoubtedly the best move at the moment.
In this era, there is no such detailed and outrageous map like later generations. Only the locals in the countryside will know some small roads that are rarely populated on weekdays. Therefore, after detours, Gao Ding Liu Fan thinks there should be no problem. The point is how Liu Fan can focus all of Liu Bei''s attractiveness in this direction, creating more space for Gao Ding to display.
…(>person<;)…
Liu Bei is not familiar with this terrain, and he has never been in such a mountain forest in his life. At this moment, he is also standing in the camp, looking at the surrounding mountains, looking at the left half and the right half, white and gray. , purple, black, various mountain rocks, even a high rock protruding abruptly from a large mountain, plus a layer of trees or shrubs or a layer of fern covered on the rock Plants such as mosses are like a large undulating green pustules on decayed human tissue, and it is boring to look at.
It''s just that Liu Bei is bored, but the expression on his face is still well controlled, at least he still looks smiling, amiable, and even a little confident.
War in the mountains and forests, after the baptism of Ding Ruo, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are no strangers, only the surrounding environment is unfamiliar.
Looking at the small valley entrance exposed by the two mountains like barriers, although scouts were dispatched for several days in a row, and some scouts from the opponent were found, but no trace of the opponent''s large army was ever found.
In this kind of mountainous area, the line of sight is completely covered, and you can''t see far at all, and you have walked nearly twenty miles from the mouth of the valley, but you haven''t seen the exit. Liu Bei felt very scared, scalp.
This is simply an excellent ambush point...
If you let yourself choose the location of the ambush, it must be here!
So Liu Bei didn''t dare to move, not at all.
『Brother! 』
Zhang Feihan walked over with a smile, and walked over with something wrapped in the hem of his shirt. It was only in front of Liu Bei that they revealed two steaming bamboo tubes. Zhang Fei smiled honestly, "There are mushrooms I picked inside!" It''s delicious! 』
Liu Bei laughed, and asked the ordinary soldiers if they had eaten. After getting an affirmative answer, he took a bamboo tube that was still hot to the touch, just like Zhang Fei, and used his battle robe as a cushion, ignoring the scorched bamboo tube. It dyed the already not very clean shirt even blacker.
In the mountains and forests, using local materials and rice in bamboo tubes is a new thing that Liu Bei is willing to accept.
Freshly cut bamboo often has some water in the middle, and then make a hole, stuff some rice, add some wild vegetables, a piece of bacon, and occasionally pick some edible mushrooms, put some, and then put Seal the opening of the bamboo tube, bury it around the bonfire and roast it until the bamboo tube turns black and blue, and it is almost ripe.
After prying open the bamboo tube, a scent of bamboo mixed with rice, bacon and mushrooms came out immediately, making Liu Bei''s stomach growl twice.
Liu Bei was not too polite, he took a wooden spoon and started eating.
This is one of the few wonderful enjoyments located in the mountain woodland, just like hanging outside the cliff, and then the drop of honey in the mouth.
『Xianhe, how much food do we have? 』
Liu Bei cleaned up the last bit, and then asked the guard to pour some water in for a while, drank it, and asked.
Jian Yong took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, and said: "There are a hundred shi for rough millet, seventy shi for wheat, and more... If calculated according to the current cost, it can last about seven days, and save some more. It can take ten days...」
『Seven days…』
Liu Bei whispered to himself.
『Brother! Do you want to send someone to the back to urge the grain and grass? ’ Zhang Fei asked.
Liu Bei smiled and shook his head. What should be delivered will be delivered, this time it has been delayed for so many days, isn''t the meaning obvious?
『Soon... I guess, soon...』
Liu Bei said slowly, he didn''t know if he was saying that the food and grass were coming soon, or he was talking about something else.
…Σ( ̄. ̄)…
The second day.
Dawn.
Liu Fan came out of the hiding place in the valley with his soldiers, and swaggered towards the mouth of the valley. He needs to attract the attention of Liu Bei and others, so naturally he doesn''t need to cover his whereabouts.
Liu Fan used his eyesight enough to look over the cliff, but he still couldn''t see anything clearly, only tiny shadows flickering in the woodland. If he didn''t pay special attention, maybe even this shadow would be regarded as an animal. Or miss it because of the mountains and lairs.
Liu Fan looked back and saw that those who followed were all soldiers he had laboriously recruited from the south of Jingzhou and the South Vietnam region. This time, they would also be sent to the battlefield, but they didn''t know how much damage they would suffer.
Raising soldiers is a very expensive thing, even if it is dealt with casually, it will not work. If the general dealt with the soldiers and equipment at will, then the soldiers would deal with the general at will when fighting. This is mutual in the first place. If you invest a little less and invest a little more, the effects will be different.
Liu Fan did his best to raise these soldiers, and now it has come in handy. Why not use barbarians? One is that they have left Gaoding. Although they also obey the command, they are not very flexible. On the other hand, if all Gaoding soldiers are used, even if this battle is defeated, there will be nothing to do in the next one. up. So this time the main attacker can only be himself, and the soldiers of the Yi people can support with bows and arrows on both wings.
Besides, Taniguchi is so big, and he can''t use it very well.
『Get ready! ”Liu Fan commanded in a deep voice, “Show some strength! Capture the camp, add wine and meat! The merit of the first level is even more rewarding! 』
『Only! 』This is a warrior recruited from the south of Jingzhou.
"understood! Don''t worry Liu Shijun! 』These were recruits in South Vietnam.
Liu Fan laughed, and raised his head to look at the distant cliff, where there was already a piece of whiteness, I believe that in another hour, the golden light will be bright!
Liu Fan seemed to have seen that bright golden light!
That must be the dawn of victory!
definitely is!
…( ̄Д ̄)…
As the distance to Liu Bei''s camp got closer, Liu Fan''s queue naturally attracted the attention of Liu Bei''s sentry. While Liu Bei''s sentry sent out a warning, he delayed the pace of Liu Fang''s ranks as much as possible. As the screams echoed in the valley, Liu Fang gave the order to attack.
Liu Fang''s soldiers poured out from the valley, five people formed a group, two held shields, two held spears, and one commanded in the center. It is a very good structure, and it is also very suitable to be deployed on such a narrow ground between mountains and forests, without being too restricted by the terrain.
The Yi people also howled aside, and then jumped among the bushes, bowing their bows and setting up arrows from time to time, shooting towards Liu Bei''s soldiers.
The massive attack immediately killed all Liu Bei''s sentry posts at the front and peripheral soldiers. Some of Liu Bei''s soldiers fled to the camp in a hurry, but were killed by arrows shot from behind. The weeds stumbled, and then Liu Fan''s soldiers caught up, and they shot out with swords and guns, and died instantly.
In the beginning, the progress was very smooth. Liu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the soldiers to rush out of the valley, spread out as far as possible on both sides, and make way for the road that hit the wood, and launched a fierce attack on Liu Bei''s camp on the side of the valley.
『Enemy attack! Enemy attack! 』
The sound of the warning golden gong reverberated in the mountains between the valleys, awakening countless birds, fluttering into the sky, chirping non-stop, as if a person with a rather wake-up spirit was woken up.
Liu Bei glanced at the flying birds circling above the cliff, and something seemed to move in his heart. Before Liu Bei could figure it out, Liu Fan outside the camp had already launched an attack without saying a word, interrupting Liu Bei''s train of thought.
『Peace the Deer Rock! Clear the way! 』
Running among the bushes, it is very likely that you will encounter thorns and vines. If you are not careful, it will be like being cut by a knife, or like being whipped by a whip. The pain is very painful, but Liu Fan Most of the soldiers are used to running in such an environment. Even if they are drawn, they will frown slightly, and they will not even react more, just continue to charge forward with their wounds!
Perhaps Liu Bei felt that this was just an offensive camp on the way forward, or for some other reason. Anyway, there were not many obstacles in front of the camp, so Liu Fan''s soldiers were in less than an hour. After paying a certain price, they swept two roads, and began to bombard the main entrance of Liu Bei''s camp and the flanking walls with ramming wood.
Liu Bei''s soldiers shot down on the wall of the village, and the Yi people also counterattacked on both sides. Because the sun gradually rose and the sight became brighter and clearer, both sides delivered a lot of losses under the bow and arrow. Of course, with the cover of the wall, Liu Bei''s side''s losses will be relatively less.
There were screams one after another, accompanied by the roar of impact, like the wind in the mountains, suddenly bumped into the mountain here, and then rushed to the other side. The soldiers on both sides are like felled trees, in the collision of metal, blood and life flow.
『It’s just mere people! In such a terrain, it is not appropriate to camp! ”Liu Fan looked at the situation on the battlefield and could not help but sneered, “Today I will teach you to be a good boy!” 』
Liu Bei''s camp is along a relatively gentle hillside, from bottom to top. Although the unnamed valley entrance can be seen, it is not as close as the camping mode that blocks the mountain road tightly. Now the front near the valley entrance is surrounded by Liu Bei. After Fan''s sudden attack dispersed, he could only rely on the camp on the hillside to defend, thus forming the current situation.
Liu Bei''s soldiers threw a lot of torches, as if they were trying to burn the ramming wood that hit the gate and wall of the village, but the ramming wood itself was not dry, and it was covered with a layer of mud, so they were basically not afraid of ordinary torches. Therefore, not only was it unable to stop the collision of the wood, but Liu Fan''s men even picked up the torch and threw it back. It seemed that something was ignited, and two or three plumes of black smoke rose straight into the sky...
