Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "This... Cao's army is really doing everything... Seeing that we didn't bring artillery... Haha, it's really interesting..."

Pang Tong frowned, "Wen Yuan should not be attacked by the aggressive plan!"

"Don't worry, Wen Yuan will have this measure." Fei Qian is still quite confident about Zhang Liao.

That's right, provocation.

Fei Qian was fire reconnaissance this time, and Cao Hong probably guessed it. He saw that Fei Qian did not carry many infantry, nor did he drag heavy siege equipment such as cannons, so he deliberately did this.

After all, those ordinary Cao army soldiers and Shandong civilians didn't know that the current actions of both sides were just testing each other, so once Fei Qian evacuated, they might think that they would scare away the cavalry army with just shouting so many times...

This can undoubtedly increase morale for Cao's army.

Of course, if Fei Qian or Zhang Liao couldn't help but launch a large-scale attack, it would be exactly what Cao Hong wanted.

Fei Qian and Zhang Liao came from afar, and were delayed and harassed for some time on the way, and did not establish a forward camp. It only took half a day to make a plan. It was a matter of half a day. It would be difficult to conquer the fortifications all over the ground without the cooperation of heavy firepower within this half day and then enter Gong County.

If you can't fight then, and by night, you can't clear out the surrounding Cao's army, if you don't retreat voluntarily, the consequences will be worse.

Of course, Fei Qian and Pang Tong were not too surprised by Cao's little trick. After all, it was not surprising that any means were used on the battlefield. They were just worried that Zhang Liao or Zhang Liao's subordinates could not bear the stimulation and were taken by Cao's army to make a move.

However, Zhang Liao was Zhang Liao after all. Although some middle and low-level military academies couldn't help but want to attack Cao's army amid the noise of Cao's army, they were all controlled by Zhang Liao. In the end, they just took a queue to run around the side of Yiluo River, and then went around back without crossing the river.

Seeing that Zhang Liao's troops did not cross the river, Cao's army stood for a while. Seeing Zhang Liao walking back with his troops, he then retreated...

The two sides did not fight directly, but it also seemed to have a fight.

"Lord!" When Zhang Liao came back, his first thing was to pay a visit to Fei Qian and draw some new situations for Fei Qian that he personally led the team to Yiluo Water to detect. "The trench in Cao's army is very deep!"

"The trench is very deep?" Fei Qian asked, "How did you see it in Wenyuan?"

Looking from the height of Feiqian Station towards Cao Jun, perhaps it was a matter of angle or distance, and it was not obvious what was special about Cao Jun’s trench.

Those trenches were about two hundred steps away from the front camp in front of Cao's army Gong County. There were also densely packed with deer antlers and horse-resisting horses between the trenches and Cao's army's front camp.

There are wooden boards placed on the trench as temporary bridges.

After all, it is unrealistic that there are so many people in the Cao army, all of them are huddled in Gong County.

There are some front-line camps outside the city, some in the city, and perhaps some in Gongxian County that cannot be seen from sight. This way, we can effectively exert the greatest advantage of manpower, instead of being capped by the cavalry army, and we can only crouch in the city and wait for death.

And these fortifications, especially what Zhang Liao said, deepening the trench, may be a new way for Cao's army to disperse and aggregate...

Zhang Liao gestured and explained. At first he thought that the Cao army trenches were ordinary cut-off fortifications that resisted the cavalry charge, so that the cavalry horses could not move quickly on the position, but later he found that some Cao army soldiers had some abnormal phenomena when they moved through the trenches.

"I noticed that when they were holding the flag and passing through the trench, the height difference suddenly became very large!" Zhang Liao pointed to the direction of the Caojun trench on the other side of the Yiluo River and said, "I didn't care much at first. After all, there will be changes in height in the soldiers climbing up and down the trench... But that flag...

Zhang Liao gestured for a moment, "Sometimes the flag is left with a little bit left... If I hadn't been staring at it, I probably thought that the flag-holder accidentally dropped the flag!"

Is there a flag that high?

Fei Qian looked at the height of the flag beside him.

The specifications used by the Cavalry Army and the Cao Army are actually similar, after all, they are all the foundations of the Han army.

What about a trench? Normal trench is about one person taller.

The flag must be visible, distinguished by soldiers and generals in the army, and as a guide, and naturally it cannot be consistent with the height of the soldiers, but is about two or three people high...

This shows that at least the depth of the trenches in the directions Zhang Liao saw far exceeded that of ordinary depth.

For ordinary trenches, even if they do not have wooden boards and bridges, they can jump down by stacking ladders or simply digging several footbed pits on the earth wall to climb over. But if they really look like the deepening trenches that Zhang Liao said...

Even if you fall down and don’t get hurt, it will probably be extremely difficult to climb up by relying solely on manpower!

But and the trouble is that there are probably more than one such trench.

Because looking at Fei Qian, these trenches were arranged in a variety of lengths and densely packed, and continued to the front of the deer antler formation a hundred steps away from the front camp of Cao's army.

Fei Qian can imagine that if there is no special response, then when the cavalry and horses finally climb over the trench, or find a winding path in the trench, avoid traps and spikes, and then go to the dense array of antlers, but face the problem of breaking the antlers with bare hands!

Deer antlers can be regarded as barbed wire from the Han Dynasty.

At this time, the deer antler defense line was already within the effective range of archers in the front battalion of Cao's army. At that time, the Hussar soldiers and horses needed to remove the deer antlers, while being wary of the rain of arrows falling above their heads...

『Well, it seems that I have made a lot of preparations...』 Fei Qian smiled, 『But, this is also expected, isn't it? After all, if Cao Jun did nothing for so many days, it would be strange...』

Pang Tong and Zhang Liao looked at each other and nodded.

"Let the soldiers and military academy go to another trip, write down all the terrain and fortifications of Cao's army, and go back to draw sketches..."
