Overlord!

Chapter 26
"Niuzhuji is not a county, but the name of a mountain. Because the northern foot of the mountain extends abruptly into the Yangtze River, it is called Caishiji, also known as Niuzhuji. The terrain near Caishiji is dangerous and the water is fast. Naturally, a quarry crossing is formed that strangles the main point of the great river, so since ancient times, this place has been the focus of the battle between the north and the south, and a place that must be contested by military strategists."

On the hills more than a dozen miles south of Niuzhu Mountain, Sun Ce and his subordinates, more than a dozen cavalry, listened carefully to Zhou Yu's advice on the country, and wrote passionately.With Zhou Yu's help, Sun Ce knows Jiangdong's defense line like the back of his hand.

Zhou Yu continued to introduce the enemy's situation to the generals in detail: "There are more than a hundred warships and warships in the Niuzhu camp. Once they find out that the Danyang army is abnormal, they will immediately send troops to block the transportation. Therefore, this camp must be conquered as soon as possible. It can guarantee food and roads. However, there are more than [-] elite soldiers in the battalion, all of whom are Liu Yao's elite, and they are used to guard this important military area. It is really not easy for us to defeat the enemy with a small number of strikes."

After passing Jiangdong, Sun Ce stopped talking about difficulties, but instead had a firm attitude and boosted morale: "We know the situation of Niuzhu very well, but he doesn't know anything about us. The battle is ours, not the enemy's. Victory is a must!"

The other generals nodded their heads, knowing themselves and the enemy, they won every battle without danger.The natural moat of the Yangtze River has been crossed, and the rest of the battle is only for brave ears.

In this battle, Sun Ce had a great disadvantage in terms of strength, but he also had many other advantages.

For example, in the selection of the battlefield, Sun Ce can personally lead more than ten cavalry to investigate the terrain and terrain in detail, and even detect the situation on Niuzhu Mountain and the route of the opponent's troops.

The terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is broken, with many hills and water networks, which is not suitable for a large army to deploy. Sun Ce personally explored the terrain to find a hilly terrain as a battlefield, and give full play to the advantages of his own talents and the combat power of the mandarin duck formation.

In Jiangdong, especially Danyang, this kind of terrain is still very common. Even if there is only a hill across, people on this side don't know what's going on on the other side.

Sun Ce and more than a dozen cavalry were the most profound witnesses to this scene. They all followed Sun Ce to the heights and looked far away in a relaxed mood. No one expected that as soon as they rode their horses to the top of a hill, they suddenly encountered a large group of cavalry!

The sudden appearance of the black armor knight obviously shocked the other party, and both sides were stunned for a moment.

But the next moment, the other party reacted first, and someone yelled: "There are so many armored cavalry, they must be enemy scouts, shoot them!"

It is really no wonder that Sun Ce and the others reacted slowly. The main reason is that the other party did not wear armor. Comes with a ring head knife and a long sword.This is obviously a team that went out to shoot tigers and hunt them.

The children of wealthy families often do this kind of thing. Sun Ce and others did not expect that Liu Yao's generals would not train soldiers in the camp, but led more than a hundred cavalry to shoot and hunt outside for fun.

But they had suddenly met together, and Sun Ce and others were unable to retreat at all. Sun Ce shouted: "Although there are many enemy troops, they are all unarmored. You gentlemen, follow me to defeat them!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Ce rode forward with a spear, and the first rider was in the lead. Behind him, Xu Kun, Chen Wu, Yang Xiao, Xian Yulie, Jiang Qin, Zhou Yu and more than ten riders also jumped on their horses and held their spears, and charged closely.

More than a dozen knights in black armor, trapped in the battle, fighting in all directions, invincible in all directions!

This is a typical battle between cavalry and cavalry archers. Let alone cavalry archers with a scale of hundreds of people turn around and shoot. It was impossible to deal with it at all, and more than [-] people were stabbed to death under the horse immediately.

The enemy army was out hunting and without armor, even if they fought back vigorously, the swords in their hands would not be able to effectively kill the Xuanjia cavalry at all.In this case, anyone who can hurt one of them is a great fighter.

But obviously there was no such brave and brave general in this cavalry. After more than [-] people were stabbed to death, the morale of these cavalry who only wore swords finally collapsed and scattered.

After Sun Ce and others chased them to death for seven or eight miles, Sun Ce ordered to stop the pursuit and return to the camp.

Although more than [-] horses were seized in this battle, the traces of the entire army were exposed, and the strategic loss was heavy!
Sun Ce was also hit in the head by this, and he woke up from a somewhat light hearted state of mind.

Wars have always been full of uncertainty, and the smooth sailing since time travel made him even a little arrogant.

In the current situation, he has no capital for arrogance at all. He only brought more than [-] people across the Yangtze River.If you can't fight to the death and defeat the more than [-] Jiangdong elites in front of you with one blow, then you and the thousands of soldiers under your command will all die without a place to bury them!
Of course, in contrast, this battle was extremely rewarding tactically.After all, the chief general personally led more than ten cavalry to explore the terrain and the enemy's situation. He has a good grasp of the battlefield and the effects that the terrain and landform can form.

Another famous general in the history of the Central Plains who dared to act like this was the military god of the Tang Dynasty, General Tiance General Li Shimin.

Therefore, Sun Ce was already well prepared for the deployment of the battle situation. After returning to the camp, Sun Ce summoned all the generals in the army to prepare for the deployment of the battle.

This is a battle that concerns the life and death of the entire army. The general must inspire the morale of the entire army and instill in all soldiers the belief that they will win.

For grassroots soldiers, Sun Ce can choose to drink blood to motivate them. After all, the soldiers don't know how many enemy troops there are.It's like the other party doesn't know how many people Sun Ce's army has.

On the battlefield, the two sides lined up in formation, all in a continuous square formation, with banners flying.The soldiers in the army formation couldn't see clearly how wide and thick the two army formations were, and how many people there were on the enemy side.All they can do is boost their morale and move forward.

But for the level of generals, Sun Ce does not intend to let them go to the battlefield in a daze.If they were also at a loss about the situation and knew nothing about the conditions for winning or losing, then the whole army might be on the same level as a mob.This battle was won without knowing why, and the next battle was lost for no reason, confused.

Therefore, Sun Ce has always advocated that lieutenant generals should learn more about the art of war and sum up the reasons for the victory and defeat of past wars.

Sun Ce didn't know whether the other princes would announce the war deployment to the generals before the battle, but Sun Ce was determined to explain the situation of victory and defeat to the soldiers, and then the soldiers of the three armies would work together to defeat the enemy.

So when the generals arrived at the commander's tent, they saw a new map of Jiangdong nailed to the wooden board on which the picture of mandarin ducks had been hung before.

The personal guards moved all the beds to all the generals, and all the generals sat on them.

Sun Ce stood in front of the crowd, full of spirits: "Xunzi once said that learning is not enough. The sky sees its light, the earth sees its light, and a gentleman is valuable. As a lieutenant general, you should not be content with the present. I hope you can all If you are proficient in the art of war, you will be able to take on important responsibilities in the future, lead an army alone, and even become a famous general in the army, and be a military god in the world! So we set up this military god class today, and in the future we will often explain the art of war to the generals.”

That's right, the Little Sunflower Classroom, no, the Military God Classroom is about to start!

The name Military God Classroom is very arrogant, but it perfectly fits all Sun Ce's expectations for the future.

The lowest level of expectation is that Sun Ce himself, like Li Shimin, will become a military god of a generation, set up a forum to give lectures, and pass on the experience of military art to all the generals who study.

A higher level of expectation is that one military god after another can emerge from this class, such as Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun, commanders at the level of 72 generals in the martial arts temple.

Sitting on the Hu bed in the front row, Zhou Yu was quite new to this situation. He observed the generals around him, and they were all accustomed to it. Jian took out the bamboo slips, spread them on his lap, and then took out the carving knife to record.

Such a custom of advocating learning in the Han army may have been traced back to before Zhongping, and it can only be seen in the Sanhe and Five Schools of the Northern Army.

After Sun Ce and other generals were ready, they encouraged everyone: "Conquering Niuzhu right now is the most important thing related to the life and death of our army. However, the enemy is numerous and we are few, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the future, you may all be able to lead an army alone. Army, those who have a deep gap in their chest may wish to talk about how to deal with such a situation. If there is no plan, you can also write down the deployment of this battle, which can be used as a reference in the future."

Several Sima in the army looked at each other, and they all had a clear understanding of the army crossing the river.

Among the several Sima in the army, Sima Cheng Pu and Sun He were commanded by Huaisi elite soldiers, with 500 subordinates.

Xu Kun, Jiang Qin, and Zheng Bao's units each had 600 people because they practiced mandarin duck formations. This is all the apprentices transported by the navy for two consecutive days, a total of 800 people.

Lu Fan was transferred to be the governor, and the military discipline of the three armies was strictly enforced, while Liu You was transferred to be the Sima of Tuntian, and the commander was old and weak.

Therefore, apart from the two thousand or eight soldiers in the whole army, there were only a dozen Xuanjia cavalry under the general's direct control, more than fifty rangers, two garrisons of archers, and a garrison of literate officers.

But among these people, a group of military officials will never go to the battlefield anyway. They are the seeds of the whole army, and they will not only be scattered among the farming teams to serve as agricultural officials, but also assigned to teaching, logistics, medical care, etc. Everywhere.

Soldiers who study in the future will definitely go to the battlefield, but they will never kill the chicken to take the eggs.

The rest of the dashing cavalry and rangers don't need to think about it at all, they won't stick to their positions like the disciples, they will only cruise around flexibly, riding their horses to look for opportunities.

There are only two archers who can really go into battle, but they are not necessarily placed on which front.

No need to use the newly learned nine-nine calculation table, even ordinary generals can clearly understand the current situation with only a rough calculation. It is necessary to use more than [-] troops to attack the camp defended by more than [-] people!
Even with the addition of Zhou Yu's [-] guest soldiers, the military strength of the two sides is still about one to three.

Moreover, the other party was not a mob, but all Liu Yao's elite soldiers, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and fought against Yuan Shu's army of nearly ten thousand people commanded by Wu Jing, Sun Ben and others for many years, winning and losing each other.

This comparison of military strength, even if the offensive and defensive forces are different, it is not easy for everyone to defend the camp, let alone actively attack the enemy's strong camp.

Facing this situation, Cheng Pu frowned, and spoke first: "No wonder Wu Zhonglang and General Sun have been invincible for years. If the opponent sticks to the camp, even if we fight to the death of the whole army, I am afraid we will not be able to win the Niuzhu camp. The last general thought, The current plan is to lure the enemy to take the initiative to attack."

Jiang Qin asked: "How is it possible for the enemy to leave the camp? As long as they can't hold out, they will win. How can they take the risk to fight?"

Zheng Bao still kept the green forest atmosphere, and enthusiastically suggested: "Maybe it is possible to scold and fight? Between the powerful, they all emphasize the struggle of spirits. Often, when they scold and fight, the opponent will not be able to bear it, and they will fight for supremacy on the battlefield."

Sun He shook his head immediately, and said, "The atmosphere of the powerful green forest is completely different from that of the army. The army only seeks to win. As long as you can win, even if you scold Liu Yao's entire family face to face, his generals will not care. In the future, the victory report will be reported. I will write down a sentence of the enemy's scolding the war. Liu Yao will not reward the victorious and triumphant soldiers because our army has scolded the war?"

This is impossible even after thinking about it, otherwise there would be no need to repair any city defenses or equipment. As long as there is a scolding war, the two sides will fight in the wild. That scolding war is the strongest art of war.

This kind of method may be useful against some generals, but it is absolutely impossible to deal with Fan Neng and Yu Mi in the Niuzhu camp. After all, these generals have been able to fight against Wu Jing and Sun Ben for many years.

Cheng Pu was thoughtful, but the other Sima were at a loss.

Sun Ce pointed at Zhou Yu and said with a smile, "Then Gong Jin will tell you how to lure the enemy out of the camp."

Zhou Yu was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that Sun Ce would give him such an opportunity to shine. However, he was so majestic that he didn't care too much. After getting up, he turned to the generals, with a calm smile on his lips: "Actually, lead him to fight!" It's not difficult, just set up camp at the foot of Niuzhu Mountain openly, and they will take the initiative to attack."

Jiang Qin's eyes widened: "How is it possible? Are they crazy? Leave the camp undefended, and come to attack our camp?"

Zhou Yu smiled calmly: "It's very simple, because he doesn't know the reality of us. How many soldiers are there in our battalion?"

"Counting the soldiers of Danyang County, there are more than three thousand cavalry." Jiang Qin replied without thinking.

Zhou Yu looked majestic and pointed out the tent with his arm: "Why do I think this is an army of tens of thousands?"

All the generals looked in the direction of his finger, confused, tens of thousands of troops?where?
Jiang Qin got up, walked to the big tent, lifted the curtain, looked out carefully for a moment, and asked, "Where are the tens of thousands of troops hiding? You have tens of thousands of soldiers in Danyang County? The general only has tens of thousands of soldiers in total." It seems that not all of the rest have crossed the river."

Zhou Yu's tone was generous: "But Fan Neng and Yu Mi are absolutely impossible to know. They all think that we will have a steady stream of troops to succeed us. If we can't defeat us early and regain the natural moat of the Yangtze River, Liyang's army will continue to cross the river to support us. Sooner or later, tens of thousands of troops will gather in the camp, and the Niuzhu camp will be in danger."

At present, any army that serves as the vanguard of the entire army, penetrates into the enemy's territory, and sets up camp is the elite of the army.

Being able to defeat this elite will not only wipe out the enemy's spirit, but even cancel the deployment of the entire enemy army.

From Fan Neng and Yu Mi's point of view, the current situation is obviously that Li Yang sent an elite team to Jiangdong to set up a camp.Once the camp is successfully established, there will be a steady stream of troops coming over.For the enemy's temptation, it is natural to immediately destroy its elite soldiers.Otherwise, when the enemy battalion stands up, the entire enemy army will successfully break through the natural moat of the Yangtze River!
