Chapter 1682 Miscalculation (Additional update to pay off the debt...)


    The so-called counselors are naturally divided into upper and lower levels.


    There are many good counselors in the Three Kingdoms, but they are definitely not Kuai Qi''s generation. In fact, people like Kuai Qi can only barely reach the third-rate level at best, or even not necessarily. Being a third-rate counselor does not mean that such a person is bad, but that there will be some deviations to a certain extent, and such deviations are usually nothing more than an oversight on the battlefield, which is often fatal.


    “Attack! Attack me!”


    ?When Xu Huang and his soldiers appeared on the battlefield scheduled by Liu Qi, Liu Qi seemed to have seen the dawn of victory and immediately issued majestic orders. At this moment, Liu Qi even thought of the many famous generals on the battlefield who were commanding with determination. He felt as if these famous generals were possessed by them, and his face turned red with excitement.


    The first wave of attacks did cause some chaos to Xu Huang''s troops, but this chaos was quickly suppressed. After the initial panic, the soldiers within the enemy''s attack range Under the command of the non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level, they quickly gathered into a small circular formation, and then gradually began to gather together, just like scattered water droplets merging together. Although there were a lot of damage in the process, when they gathered in When it is in one place, the damage is reduced.


    “Push the grass ball down! Push it down!”


    Liu Qi danced and roared, his voice a bit sharp.


    ??Ambush in the mountains naturally requires fire attack, but the problem is that neither Liu Qi nor Kuai Qi has enough fire oil, so they can only weave some dry branches and grass balls, then light them and push the grass **** down.


    Normally, such an attack is also very sharp. If the valley is full of flammable objects and then ignited together, then Xu Huang will naturally not end well. But the problem is that not all valleys are suitable. Even if you set fire, not all valleys can hide ambushes...


    Some terrains seem to have deep valleys and dangerous cliffs, which are very suitable for setting up ambushes. However, the problem is that the enemy cannot climb up the cliffs on both sides, and the party setting up an ambush cannot climb up either. Even if they barely go up, they may not be able to come down, so like this No matter how dangerous the location is, it doesn''t matter.


    Kuai Qi''s strategy was generally correct, but he forgot one thing. All assumptions must be based on actual conditions. There were many valleys along the way, but not many suitable for ambushes. , either this problem or that problem, it is not the best choice after all, and here, it can only be regarded as barely consistent.


    Liu Qi didn’t understand this either. In Liu Qi’s mind, he just knew that Xu Huang was coming, and then he succeeded in ambush, and then Xu Huang would definitely lose...


    Then an accident happened. The big grass **** pushed down from the valleys on both sides did not explode on the heads of Xu Huang''s soldiers as Liu Qi expected, nor did they hit Xu Huang''s soldiers. In the process of rolling down from top to bottom, they knocked down the rocks on the mountain and deviated from the direction. Some of them even scattered directly in the middle of the mountain, but some fell sporadicly.


    There are some weeds and shrubs in the valley, but there are not many. Xu Huang also avoided these places when he gathered his soldiers, so even though some places were set alight, it did not spread to the entire valley.


    "..." Xu Huang hid under the heavy protection of the guards and was speechless. He really didn''t expect to be ambushed here, because in Xu Huang''s understanding, this terrain was actually not very good and not suitable for use at all. Come to ambush, the hills on both sides are very small. Even if the soldiers are on it, not many people can stand on it. And although the rock walls are steep, the valley is indeed wider. However, it is on such terrain that Liu Qi chose to ambush . Xu Huang didn''t know whether he should call Liu Qi''s choice excellent or poor.


    Excellent, after all, the ambush was successful, or poor, the effect of such an ambush was unsatisfactory.


    ??Does Liu Qi have any follow-up methods?


    Most likely.


    Xu Huang was ready.


    ?Liu Qi was in high spirits at this time, and had even thought about what he was going to say to the defeated general, using gestures. His wish to avenge his shame was finally achieved, which made Liu Qi feel very happy. On the side, Kuai Qi was a little hesitant, because the current scene was not as chaotic as Kuai Qi imagined and started to flee. Instead, they gathered into an irregular formation and huddled in the valley.


    This is considered a success?


    Still considered a failure?


    Or is it just a little short of success?


    The shortcomings of not having much actual war experience were revealed at this moment. Just when Kuai Qi''s caution as a counselor was about to take effect, Liu Qi, whose confidence had reached the extreme, directly ordered all the soldiers to join the battle. , preparing to defeat Xu Huang''s troops.


    Jingxiang soldiers rushed forward, causing Kuai Qi on the side to open his mouth, but in the end he had no objection.


    Normally speaking, now is the time to attack. It is only natural to take advantage of the chaos to completely defeat the opponent and determine the situation of the battle. After all, isn’t that what all the military books say?


    Liu Qi laughed loudly and shouted: "Defeat the enemy! I will definitely give you a reward! Kill! Kill! Whoever kills the enemy general will be rewarded ten thousand gold!"


    Jingxiang''s soldiers responded with a roar, then jumped up from their hiding places and ran down the rocks staggeringly. They seemed to be in good momentum, but because of the steep rocks, some soldiers could not stop while running and screamed. fell down...


    When Kuai Qi saw this, his face changed a little, and he felt more and more uneasy. But the problem is that the overall strategy was basically formulated by him, and now everyone, including Liu Qi, thinks that the battle has been decided, even if he says something What, how effective can it be? Maybe it''s just my own worries?


    “This...is this the follow-up method?”


    ?Xu Huang couldn''t understand something. Because the terrain in this area was deemed by Xu Huang to be unsuitable for an ambush, in terms of reconnaissance, the main focus was on the front instead of the mountains on both sides, so it was not unusual for him to miss it, but the problem was that the opponent only had These means?


    Xu Huang once again looked around with his eyes, and then sent some soldiers to the rear to see if the opponent had bypassed the soldiers in the rear to attack. Finally, he focused on the Jingxiang soldiers rushing from the front. Shen He shouted: "Get ready to fight!"


    “Mountain!” the junior sergeant shouted, “Mountain! Big mountain!”


    "Ho! Ho, ho!" The soldiers in the front row shouted almost subconsciously, and then followed a well-practiced pattern to link the shields together tightly to form a shield wall.


    The orders given to soldiers at the grassroots level are often simpler. For example, if you don’t know what movies and TV shows, a group of big soldiers gather together and say what is the elevation angle, how many miles away, what is the wind direction, etc., and then everyone acts like a special forces soldier. Generally, you understand everything, and then you can instantly adjust to the direction represented by these values. This is not only an insult to the audience''s eyes, but also an insult to the audience''s IQ. The valley was suddenly choked with roars, which echoed through the mountains. The Jingxiang soldiers rushed forward in a menacing manner...


    These Jingxiang soldiers who have been following Liu Qi have not had much experience fighting against Fei Qian''s men since entering Sichuan. Their knowledge of the battlefield is only based on the original foundation, and it is impossible to have any battlefield experience. Sharing, naturally did not think Xu Huang''s men were so powerful. Along the way from Jingxiang to Badong, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time also burst out at this moment, roaring and waving swords and guns to kill.


    On the cliff, there are now some archers. These archers are working hard to provide cover and early strikes for their friendly forces. However, not everyone understands that the airflow in the valley is different from that outside the valley. Just like there are inexplicable strong winds between high-rise buildings, the winds between mountain tops and valleys are often different, causing the arrows fired by the archers to have deviations in landing points, and some even hit their own people''s butts...


    Liu Qi looked a little unhappy.


    However, in his understanding, this was not due to the influence of the natural wind direction, but because these archers were too bad, so Liu Qi angrily scolded him and ordered the archers to shoot at Xu Huang''s soldiers instead of aiming at his own people. butt!


    But the problem is that the valley is wide, so archers who want to shoot Xu Huang and others in the valley can only rely on lob shots, and lob shots will be greatly affected by the reverse wind speed. In order to ensure that they do not hit their own people, body, the result was that many arrows were shot over the head and fell to the rear...


    The Jingxiang soldiers who rushed forward were like waves, hitting red foam on the rocks and then fell helplessly. The Xu Huang soldiers who formed the formation were not only better than Liu Qi''s men in terms of equipment, but also in terms of training. In terms of battlefield experience, they were also much stronger, which led to the seemingly majestic Jingxiang soldiers attacking, but they did not achieve the effect of repelling or even defeating Xu Huang''s soldiers.


    “Charge up! Kill!” Liu Qi jumped and shouted, and then asked the soldiers to keep charging upwards to fight.


    ??Kuai Qi swallowed his saliva, smacked his mouth, and hesitated to speak. He felt that he was riding a tiger and was unable to get off. If he continued to attack, it didn''t seem to achieve the expected effect. If he didn''t continue, it didn''t seem to be good.


    When individuals are on a chaotic and noisy battlefield, not everyone may be able to think clearly and perceive the senses. Under the stimulation of blood, many people will automatically cut off external signal input as if they were dizzy. Most people The Jingxiang soldiers did not realize that their attacks had no effect. Only the small group of Jingxiang archers standing on the cliff, who were condescending and outside, could see it more clearly. They couldn''t help but look at each other in fear...


    Logically speaking, shouldn’t the opponent be defeated and dispersed?


    how so?


    ? Xu Huang gave orders in an orderly manner, asking the sword and shield bearers and spearmen in the front row to cooperate, and then used the archers and crossbowmen in the middle to harvest the Jingxiang soldiers in the rear.


    ?Although some of Xu Huang''s soldiers fell in the fight, the corresponding lack of cooperation caused more Jingxiang soldiers to fall, and the losses were very heavy.


    As time went by, even Liu Qi gradually felt that something was wrong. He grabbed Kuai Qi and asked repeatedly: "What''s going on? What''s going on now? What should I do? What should I do now?"


    ??Kuai Qi''s face was also pale. He couldn''t understand why his strategy was basically implemented completely, but why there was no good effect?


    "Well... I never thought that the enemy''s soldiers would be so brave..." Kuai Qi trembled and squeezed out an explanation, "It''s not the fault of the plan, it''s because the soldiers couldn''t wait..." My plans were perfect, and there was nothing wrong with them. It''s all the people at the bottom who don''t work hard and don''t work hard!


    ? ?If a first-rate strategist can plan thoroughly and considerately, then a second-rate strategist can only be meticulous in one aspect, and a third-rate strategist can naturally make his strategy look meticulous...


    ??Just when Liu Qi kept asking what to do, in the duel between soldiers, the balance had slowly begun to tilt, and once one side lost its balance, the rate of collapse would only become faster and faster. As Jingxiang soldiers continued to be stabbed through the chest and abdomen with spears, some were disemboweled by swords, and some were shot by arrows and howled miserably, some finally woke up in the face of death and hesitated to rush forward.


    Although momentum is something that cannot be seen or touched, it is very mysterious. One thing will fade and the other will increase naturally. After a period of fighting, Xu Huang''s men became more and more calm. Even the frontline soldiers whose strength had weakened were replaced and repaired accordingly. Although they were constantly attacked by Jing Xiang''s soldiers, they still maintained a good posture. The state gradually took the initiative on the battlefield.


    “Fight out! Surround us on both sides!”


    ??Xu Huang stared at the general flag representing Liu Qi on one side of the mountain, commanding the soldiers to start a counterattack!


    Jingxiang''s soldiers were outnumbered. Faced with the pressure of Xu Huang''s soldiers, they couldn''t help but start to retreat. Once they started to retreat, the entire decadent momentum could no longer be controlled. Just like after the stalemate in a tug-of-war match was broken, one side would often As if falling to the ground, facing the huge gap, almost all the Jingxiang soldiers had an idea in their hearts. They were defeated and hopeless, no matter how hard they tried, it was useless, and then they lost all resistance...


    "No! Hold the intersection!" Liu Qi screamed, "Don''t let them come up!"


    Quicki’s face was ashen, as if it had lost all its color, and was like a puppet, teetering on the verge of collapse. Yes, there is nothing wrong with guarding the intersection and the mountaineering trail, but there is nothing on the mountain. How long can Liu Qi''s personal guards guard it?


    Kuai Qi seemed to have lost his soul. He squeezed the hilt of the long sword on his waist several times, trying to pull it out and kill himself. But for some reason, the long sword seemed to be stuck in the scabbard. Why? He couldn''t pull it out, and in the end he could only sit down on the ground slumped, chanting with a hint of crying: "Surrender... Surrender..."


    Liu Qi heard this, turned around, grabbed Kuai Qi''s collar angrily, and shook Kuai Qi like a piece of bacon, "This is your strategy! Your idea! It''s you who said you wanted to fight! Now, now you are Said to surrender!"


    ??Kuai Qi shook feebly and did not answer.


    Liu Qi pushed Kuai Qi angrily. He didn''t think about what to do, but he didn''t expect that there was a stone behind Kuai Qi. She stumbled and lost her balance. She screamed and fell down the cliff...


    "Ah..." Liu Qi was dumbfounded, "This... I didn''t mean it..."


    The guard on the side shrank his head silently, lowered his eyebrows and remained silent, indicating that I didn''t see anything and didn''t know anything.


    Liu Qi stretched out his head and glanced at Kuai Qi''s body under the cliff, then trembled, sat down on the ground, and sighed longly: "Surrender, surrender..."
