Jizhou Army, military camp!

Zhang He was handling military affairs in the camp, and Ju Su walked in in thick clothes. He walked to the brazier in just a few steps, stretched out his hands to keep warm, and rubbed his hands while saying, "General, the whistle detective just now, Yuan Shao sent Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang as vanguards and led 3,000 soldiers to fight. In addition, Gao Lan led 10,000 troops straight to our camp."

Zhang He put down the bamboo slips in his hand, put his hands in front of his mouth, breathed a breath of heat, and smiled and said, "Mr. Ju, we just arrived in Pingen County. Yuan Shao didn't know the depth of our situation, so he naturally couldn't help but reach out and touch it to test our situation. Everything has been arranged, just wait for news ahead."

Ju Su smiled and said, "People say that Zhang He is good at defending, and he is indeed well-known! This time, Yuan Shao is going to be defeated."

Zhang He shook his head gently, with a look of shame on his face: "Donald Ju, military strategy says, 'Those who are good at defending hide under the nine earths, and those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, so they can protect themselves and win completely'. I just used the surrounding geographical environment and added some other factors to resist Yuan Shao's army. When it comes to being good at defending, it is still far from it."

Historically, Zhang He was known for his good defense and skill in using troops.

Zhang He was originally appointed by Yuan Shao, but later surrendered to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao saw Zhang He, he was happy with Zhang He's surrender, and personally welcomed and called Zhang He's surrender, just like Wei Zi's return to Yin and Han Xin's return to Han. Even if Cao Cao's words had some exaggerated elements in it, it was enough to prove Zhang He's ability.

Chen Shou recorded in "The Three Kingdoms": "It is better to plan to recognize variables, be good at dealing with Chen, and be able to fight the terrain. Zhuge Liang is afraid of it." In the Romance of the Romance, Zhang He is a Confucian general with a simple ability, but in fact he is a Confucian general with both civil and military strategies. According to the Three Kingdoms, Zhang He is a general who is afraid of it from Zhuge Liang, and his abilities can be imagined.

...

Five miles away from the Jizhou Army Camp, there are hillsides around the wide road. These hillsides are not high, less than a hundred meters, but each hillside is stationed with troops dispatched by Zhang He.

The roads at the foot of the mountain are wide, and Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's army have to pass through, but they can't get around these hillsides. Even if you choose the other roads to avoid advancing, once the troops on these hillsides are killed, they will immediately form a situation of attacking with the army of Zhang He camp behind. Lu Xiang and Lu Xiang will also become sandwich biscuits, so they dare not avoid it.

The only way is to solve the soldiers on the hillside.

Lu Kuang led his troops to the front hillside and directly ordered the soldiers to attack.

A team of 400 soldiers rushed up the hillside. When they reached the hillside, suddenly, soldiers from Jizhou soldiers suddenly emerged from both sides of the road. The soldiers took buckets of cold water and poured them down the road with all their strength. The water wet the already slippery road, and even the clothes of many reinforcements were wet, making them feel wet and very uncomfortable.

It is almost December, the weather is cold and the ground is covered with snow.

A bucket of water pours on the road, making the road slipperier and difficult to step on.

If you don't pay attention, you will fall to the ground.

The road on the hillside was not steep, but the dense soldiers fell to the ground and rolled down one by one, hitting the soldiers following behind, causing chaos among the soldiers and it was difficult to rush up neatly.

The soldier who was wet with cold water felt even more uncomfortable, and his body was trembling.

The soldiers guarding the mountain blocked the first round of attacks without any effort.

When Lu Kuang saw it at the foot of the mountain, he frowned. This time he asked for a fight, he came with the determination to win, and wanted to make a contribution and save the last shame.

Seeing the soldiers retreating, Lu Kuang ordered another team of soldiers to attack.

This time, the soldiers climbing up the mountain were mentally prepared. When the flood was pouring down, there was no previous chaos. However, this time, not only were cold water pouring on the road, but archers also shot. The dense shooting of bows and arrows, the arrows were like rain, and the ground slipped and was inconvenient to avoid it. The soldiers climbing up the mountain were seriously injured, and they howled and rolled down, a mess.

After two consecutive failures, Lu Kuang gritted his teeth in his heart.

Lu Xiang made a suggestion: "Brother, there is a hillside on the right side, so we will deal with the army on the other side first."

"good!!"

Lu Kuang nodded and sent soldiers to fight.

The result is the same, and it is also a failure.

Several consecutive attacks failed. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang had no choice but to send soldiers to report the news to Gao Lan, and then stopped moving forward and waited on the spot with the soldiers.

It didn't take long, Gao Lan led his army to catch up.

Gao Lan did not rush to attack, and carefully observed the terrain on the spot, with a solemn expression.

Lu Kuang asked, "General Gao, what trick do you have to defeat the enemy?"

Gao Lan frowned into the character "Sichuan" and said, "This Zhang He is not simple. He sent soldiers to station on various hills and divided his troops to guard the pass, which was very meaningful!"

"First, if you look closely at the surrounding terrain, you will find that these hills form a pocket along the way. We took our army to the county town of Pingen County. If we ignore the soldiers stationed on the hills, we will be blocked inside after entering and attacked by the joint forces of Zhang He's troops, as if we were blocked in a pocket and unable to get out."

"Secondly, if we don't enter our pockets, we must attack the soldiers on each hill. However, these hills echo each other. When any one cannot stop them, the rest of the hills can send troops to support each other, but they also do their own affairs. It's not simple!"

"Third, it is winter now, and the army on the mountain can use the cold defense now. For example, when you attack up the mountain, the soldiers on the mountain splashed cold water on the ground, and the water quickly condensed into ice. If you step on the ground, you can't stand steadily and even stand steadily. How can you attack these mountain peaks? This is a wonderful use of time."

"Fourth, each hill is close to the county town of Pingen County, and the distance is not far. Zhang He is in the rear and can control the situation remotely at any time and lead the army to support it at any time, making it difficult for us to attack."

"Fifth, Tian Yu, the magistrate of Pingen County, vowed to resist the lord to the death, and the people were the same, united and united. Their morale was very high and there was no sign of being depressed. In this case, they had the advantage of harmony."

Gao Lan stared at the direction of Pingen County and sighed: "Zhang He led his army to fight and use the right time, place and people. It is very difficult for us to break through Pingen County."

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's faces turned black in an instant. This is the prelude to failure!

Lu Kuang was unwilling to accept it and hurriedly said, "Although Zhang He is powerful, General Gao has already understood Zhang He's formation. It must be not too difficult to defeat him. What are your tricks?"
