Chapter 437: The War Begins (30)
"General Wen Chou, the enemy army has entered an ambush, why don't you attack yet?"
Yuan Shaojun, who was ambushed on the hill, joined the army Fengji, and when he saw that the soldiers and horses in front of Gongsun Zhan had disappeared from his eyes, his face suddenly showed eagerness, and he said anxiously to Wen Chou beside him.
"Every time you join the army, you know it, and you don't need to worry. ”
Wen Chou glanced at Feng Ji with disdain, Feng Ji was okay with advice, and he dared to point fingers in front of him when he was marching and fighting, who was he really what he was? However, now that the two are also in cooperation, Wen Chou thought about it and explained it a little.
"Every time you join the army, the art of war is cloudy: more than half of it will be hit. If we attack Gongsun Chan's front army at this moment, Gongsun Chan, who is in the middle army, may escape. Moreover, the blow to them will not have the maximum effect either. However, when Gongsun Zhan's army was halfway gone, and then attacked, Gongsun Chan did not advance or retreat, and could only engage our army. Besides, Gongsun Chan is in the position of the Chinese army, maybe we can still capture Gongsun Chan alive and make a great contribution. Even if we can't capture Gongsun Chan alive, as long as we hold back Gongsun Chan's footsteps and wait until the army led by the lord arrives, our credit will naturally not be small. ”
"I see, General Wen Chou is worthy of being a famous general in Jizhou, and he is like a god in using soldiers!"
Listening to Wen Chou's words, Feng Ji immediately showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and flattering words spit out from his mouth without hesitation. said that Wen Chou really ate this, and the expression on his face eased a lot.
"Haha, it's too good to join the army. If it weren't for the fact that I joined the army and discovered this path, you and I would not have had this opportunity to make great achievements. In this case, it is thanks to the resourcefulness of Feng to join the army. ”
As a military general, Wen Chou's flattery is not much worse at all.
The two of them flatter each other here. About a cup of tea had passed, and three-quarters of Gongsun Zhan's army had passed, and it was time to attack.
"Soldiers, the opportunity to make contributions has come. The following is our enemy Gongsun Zhan, as long as Gongsun Chan is taken, it is not a problem to increase the official and become a knight, and the great merit is waiting for us there. What are you still hesitating about. Take out your weapons and kill them with General Ben!"
"Kill!
"Capture Gongsun Zan alive, we want to add a knight!"
"Capture Gongsun Chan alive. We're going to get a raise!"
Encouraged by Wen Chou, the morale of the 50,000 Yuan Shao's soldiers was suddenly high, and their momentum was like a rainbow. Even Feng Ji on the side was flushed under the influence of such an atmosphere. I can't wait to lift the three-foot Qingfeng and follow the army to kill. But. Fortunately, reason stopped his actions at the last moment, and with his force, if he really rushed into the battlefield, it was estimated that he would be knocked out by the enemy in a few seconds.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
"Enemy attack, be on alert!"
Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses reacted quickly, and when Wen Chou led the army to rush out, they reacted quickly. Under the command of the generals. Immediately made a defensive posture.
"Kill!"
Wen Chou danced a red tasseled spear and rushed to the front of the army in the first place. Wen Chou is also worthy of being one of the four court pillars in Hebei. It is also a fierce general with strong strength close to the top generals. With Wen Chou charging ahead, Gongsun Zhan's army had no one to resist at all, even if Gongsun Zhan's army had generals who stepped forward to stop Wen Chou's charge, no one could resist Wen Chou's blow. Not long after, the 50,000 Yuan Shao soldiers and horses rushed into the hinterland of Gongsun Zhan's array, and it was not far from the banner of the Chinese army.
"Archer prepare, release the arrow!"
Just as Wen Chou was about to continue to charge, Gongsun Zhan's army suddenly appeared thousands of archers, shooting at Wen Chou and the soldiers and horses behind Wen Chou, under such a dense number of arrows, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses could not retreat, even if there were thousands of casualties, it can be said that every arrow hit the target.
"Phew!"
Wen Chou roared angrily, waved his big hand, danced a red tasseled spear, led hundreds of cronies, and three thousand cavalry to rush in the direction of the archers.
"Stop them and don't let them get close to the archers!"
There were people in Gongsun Zhan's army who hid in a position that Wen Chou couldn't find, and gave orders loudly. Wen Chou was furious and wanted to find out the commanding general, but there were people moving everywhere, and he couldn't see the other party at all. Under the command of the opposing generals, thousands of soldiers with huge shields first knelt with shields on their heads, delaying the charge of Wen Chou and the cavalry behind him. Subsequently, countless pikemen swarmed up, holding the spears without even looking, just stabbing straight ahead, anyway, they were all ugly cavalrymen, and they didn't have to be afraid of hurting their own people. In just the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry fell on Wen Chou's side.
"I'm mad at me!"
Wen Chou was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he didn't expect the other party's general who was hiding in the shadows to command so sharply, completely blocking Wen Chou's route, so that Wen Chou couldn't attack the archers at all. Moreover, if Wen Chou continues to attack, I am afraid that all the cavalry will have to give their lives here, even if it is himself, it will not be easy. However, if these archers are not dealt with, it will be very difficult for his soldiers and horses to get close to the position of Gongsun Zhan, the banner of the Chinese army.
After hesitating for a moment, after weighing the pros and cons, Wen Chou decisively gave up on these archers. Even if it is hard to rush to the banner of the Chinese army under the attack of the archers, it is not impossible. However, the casualties were a bit heavy. However, in comparison, it is better than the strong archers who give the cavalry an account.
"Sons, charge with General Ben and take Gongsun Zhan, there will be a chance for revenge!"
Wen Chou waved the red tasseled spear, like a baton, and the hundreds of soldiers and thousands of cavalry behind him immediately turned their horses and charged in the direction of the Chinese army's banner. In the process of charging, the archers' arrows kept falling as if they didn't want money, and the cavalry behind Wen Chou also kept falling, and there were already thousands of casualties among the cavalry. To this day, Wen Chou can't care about casualties, as long as he can take Gongsun Zhan, all casualties are worth it. With such a strong charge of cavalry, and with him Wen Chou personally taking the lead, who else on the other side can resist? Unless Gongsun Zhan's strong cavalry elite - the white horse is a righteous servant.
Groov!
Thinking of Baima Yicong, Wen Chou suddenly thought of a question. Why haven't you seen a single cavalryman with a white horse until the beginning of the war? Suddenly, Wen Chou had an ominous thought in his heart.
"Oh, that's not right!"
And Feng Ji, who was in the rear, watched the battle for a while. Suddenly, a question came to mind, his question was the same as Wen Chou, that is, where did Bai Mayi run from? However, Feng Ji is better than Wen Chou, and after realizing that something is wrong, Feng Ji immediately knew that he was in a plan.
"Oh no, our ambush has been discovered. Now I'm afraid that I have been ambushed by Gongsun Zhan. Someone came, quickly go to the order of General Wenchou, and retreat immediately. Hopefully it's still too late!"
After Feng Ji understood his plan, he immediately made a decision. Decisively asked the soldiers to tell Wen Chou to retreat, and as for Feng Ji himself, he also wisely retreated to a position farther away from the battlefield. In his backward position. But it's the best place to escape. As long as he finds that the situation is not good, Feng Ji can immediately withdraw from the battlefield.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Not long after Wen Chou and Feng Ji realized that something was wrong, an earth-shattering roar sounded on the battlefield, like a flash flood breaking through a dike, which was terrifying. Wen Chou and Feng Ji are also old fritters who have been on the battlefield, how can they not know what is going on when they hear such a movement, apart from the cavalry charge, what else can cause such a momentum?
And just when the monstrous momentum sounded. Wen Chou finally led the cavalry to charge to the position of the banner of the Chinese army. However, where is the shadow of Gongsun Chan in front of him. It's just a soldier wearing Gongsun Chan's armor.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
In just a blink of an eye, Wen Chou understood what was going on, and immediately ordered a retreat. Since Gongsun Zhan already knew about his own ambush, it would be impossible to delay the other party's footsteps and wait for Yuan Shao's army to arrive. Thinking that Gongsun Chan knew about his ambush, how could Yuan Shao not be prepared?
"Retreat!
Wen Chou shouted loudly, and then without waiting for the soldiers under his command to react, he led his cronies to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Boom!"
The huge momentum was getting closer and closer, and at this moment, the cavalry team that caused such a momentum could already be faintly seen. Except for the most elite White Horse Righteous Servants under the command of Gongsun Zhan, what other team could create such a momentum? White Horse Yixian was worthy of being an elite cavalryman, and as soon as he appeared on the battlefield, he immediately divided several teams in an extremely neat manner, faintly surrounding Wen Chou's army.
"Arrogance!"
Seeing this, Wen Chou immediately shouted angrily, if Bai Mayi attacked him from a team, Wen Chou was still a little worried. However, Bai Ma Yi is now scattered, and each team has only two or three thousand cavalry, and there are about the same number of cavalry behind him, so will he be afraid of the other party?
"Sons, follow the general, today, the general will let the invincible name of Bai Ma Yi fall into the hands of the general!"
Wen Chou shouted, and with a red tasseled spear, he rushed towards a team of white horse righteous servants who were coming towards him. It's just two or three thousand white horse righteous cavalry, and Wen Chou is confident that he can kill half of it by himself. Coupled with the cavalry behind him, it is not a problem to solve this cavalry team of white horse righteous followers.
In the face of Wen Chou, who rushed up with great momentum, the face of the cavalry of Baima Yicong did not change in the slightest, and they were still in a neat line, and they rushed up straight. Wen Chou was at such a close distance, and he could clearly see the expression on Bai Ma Yicong's cavalry face, which was so indifferent and cold, like a team of reaping life. Faintly, Wen Chou had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Kow, knot, knot!"
Wen Chou's fierce spear collided with the cavalry of the White Horse Yicong, and the cavalry who collided with him suddenly flew up from the war horse as if he had been hit hard. Wen Chou just showed a smile on his face, and he had time to be proud, but another spear attacked him, and Wen Chou hurriedly raised his gun to meet him. The cavalry of the second White Horse Yicong also had the same fate, and was shocked by Wen Chou. However, if Wen Chou had paid attention, he would have found that although the cavalry of the first White Horse Follower and the second White Horse Follower were both shocked and fled, the distance they flew out was a cut away. Of course, Wen Chou is too late to meet the cavalry attack now, so how can he have time to observe these details. When the spear of the cavalry of the third white horse righteous servant collided with him, he only took a few steps back with the man and horse, and this was the case, which made Wen Chou's eyes widen and his face showed a look of disbelief. With all his might, it would not be a problem to sweep away dozens or hundreds of soldiers, even if the cavalry had the strength to charge. That could sweep away at least a dozen of them, but now he only swept away two white horse cavalrymen. The third one can't be swept away. When the spear of the fourth white horse Yi from the cavalry and the spear of Wen Chou collided together, neither of them moved in the slightest. Wen Chou didn't have time to be surprised and amazed at the moment, because Bai Ma Yicong's continuous offensive from the cavalry gave him no extra time to marvel.
"Kow, knot, knot!"
After a few more collisions, Wen Chou was shocked to find that it was himself who began to retreat. Moreover, Wen Chou noticed that there was a slight paralysis on his wrist, and if he continued to collide with the other party, it was needless to say. It must have been himself who flew out of the warhorse. Until this moment, after the formal contact with Bai Ma Yicong, Wen Chou still understood. It is not unreasonable that Bai Ma Yicong can win such a resounding fame.
"Boom!"
After not knowing whether to meet the tenth or the fifteenth White Horse Yi from the cavalry, Wen Chou only felt that his wrists were becoming more and more paralyzed. Gradually, I didn't listen to the call. Just that blow. If he hadn't held on, I'm afraid his spear would have been out of his hand a long time ago. However, Wen Chou can be sure that he definitely did not meet the attack of more than twenty White Horse Yi cavalry. As long as there are a few more, maybe just one, Wen Chou's spear will inevitably come out of his hand. However, the big words have been released, and if he retreats. I'm afraid that I won't have the face to lead the army in the future. So, anyway. Wen Chou has to continue to fight.
Looking at the oncoming spear, Wen Chou was a little stunned in his heart, but he still endured the numbness of his wrist and raised the spear to block the blow.
"Khooth!"
The sound of the clash of spears sounded, but Wen Chou was shocked to find that he didn't feel the slightest feeling, could it be that his wrist was completely paralyzed and unconscious? However, when he looked closely, Wen Chou realized that it was not his wrist that was unconscious, but that the blow just now was not greeted by himself at all, but a personal soldier beside him who took the blow just now.
"General, the enemy's offensive is fierce, our army can't resist it, and I hope the general will retreat quickly!"
Wen Chou felt that his own soldiers seemed to have some difficulty speaking, but when he looked closely, it was the cavalryman's chest with a cold light flashing spear head, and blood was constantly flowing out along the spear head. It turned out that the personal soldiers had received a blow just now, but the attack of Bai Ma Yicong came up again, and the personal soldiers only blocked two shots and were killed.
Taking advantage of this moment, Wen Chou raised his head and glanced at the battlefield, and his heart was shocked again.
Just now when he resisted Bai Ma Yi's cavalry attack, there were not many cavalry left that followed him, and even his own soldiers suffered heavy casualties, only about hundred. From this point, it can be seen that the white horse is strong. Speaking of which, Wen Chou himself died, if he decisively withdrew from Bai Ma Yi when he appeared on the battlefield, without the idea of fighting hard, he would definitely be able to escape easily. However, when Wen Chou saw that the white horse was scattered, he felt that they were easy to bully, and now they have become cups. And the cavalry of the White Horse Yicong, who had been scattered just now, seemed to have discovered that Wen Chou was the commander of this army and horses, and they surrounded him from all directions, and as long as a few breaths of effort, they could surround Wen Chou, and when the time came, Wen Chou only had one word, then he died. If it was before, Wen Chou would still think that it was no problem for him to escape from Bai Ma Yi's hands, but now, he has no confidence at all.
"General, we are waiting for you to avenge us, retreat quickly!"
Wen Chou was stunned, and the cavalry of the White Horse Righteous Servant would not be the slightest soft, and still rushed up to attack ruthlessly. If it weren't for Wen Chou's personal soldiers desperately resisting, I'm afraid that Wen Chou's body would have been poked out of countless holes. Under the shouts of the pro-soldiers, Wen Chou finally reacted, now is not the time to be stunned, the top priority is to retreat.
However, it was said that the cavalry selected by Wen Chou was also really loyal, even if he knew that he was going to face death, he still rushed up fearlessly, and one after another for Wen Chou resisted the attack of the cavalry of Bai Ma Yicong. It is precisely because of this that Wen Chou finally made a gap from the encirclement of Bai Ma Yicong, and led the remaining dozens of soldiers to escape from the encirclement. Subsequently, under the response of Feng Ji, he led the remnants of the soldiers in the direction of Yuan Shao. Now that the mission has failed, the great achievement has not been made, but the soldiers have been lost, but Wen Chou and Feng Ji are thinking about how to face Yuan Shao's criticism.
It is said that when Wen Chou and Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses were fighting, the front of Yuan Shao's army was also blocked.
In the direction of Yuan Shao's army, countless boulders and trees lined up. The intersection was blocked. Yuan Shao was so angry that he ordered the soldiers to clear the obstacles before the army continued on the road. However. It hasn't been long since he walked, and it was a boulder and a big tree blocking the way, the previous one could still be said to be an accident, but now again, if Yuan Shao still doesn't understand what is going on, his age is really alive to a dog.
"Look, ladies and gentlemen. Obviously, Gongsun Chan did this on purpose, in order to hinder the speed of our army's advance. In this way, Gongsun Chan may have discovered the intentions of our army. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"
Yuan Shaoru's calm gaze swept over the people beside him, and he said a word without saltiness.
"Lord, if this is really the case, I am afraid that it is dangerous for General Wen Chou and Feng Ji to join the army. The judge grimaced. Said solemnly. Of course. But he was snickering in his heart, he and Feng Ji have always been at odds, and now that Feng Ji is going to have an accident, the happiest person is naturally him. It would be best if Feng Ji died in battle, and he would have one less competitor. However, with the understanding of Feng Ji and Feng Ji, Feng Ji will definitely not put himself in a dangerous situation, even if Wen Chou has an accident. It is impossible for Feng Ji to have any mistakes, but it is a sigh.
What Zhengnan said was very true. Our army should speed up the march and must quickly support General Wen Chou and Feng Ji to join the army. ”
Hearing the words of the trial, Yuan Shao immediately reacted and decisively summoned the soldiers to give the order. However, before the soldiers could convey his orders, a loud "boom" suddenly sounded, and it was clear that this was a cavalry team on the battlefield.
Not long after the voice sounded, Yuan Shao saw a cavalry appear in front of him. This cavalry was all white armor and white horses, and even the spears in their hands were bright silver. Obviously, it can be seen from the dress of this cavalry that this cavalry is a well-known white horse servant. At the forefront of the White Horse Yicong cavalry, there was a mighty Wuzi with a long lance, and it was obvious that he was the commander of the White Horse Yicong team.
And if there are soldiers from Youzhou, they will naturally recognize who the general is, it is Gongsun Ran, the righteous son of Gongsun Zhan.
"Yuan Shao is a traitor, his father holds the imperial court runes, and he was appointed by the imperial court as the governor of the four states, then you should worship your father with subordinates. However, Yuan Shao, a traitor, not only did you not treat your father so politely, but you also dared to send troops to invade my Youzhou territory for no reason, and dared to ask you if you intended to rebel!"
"Ridiculous!"
Yuan Shao snorted disdainfully, stood up from the team, pointed at Gongsun Ran, and scolded: "Gongsun Ran, everyone understands people, there is no need to hide it like this." Why Gongsun Zhan was able to get the talisman of the imperial court and the land of the governor's four states, everyone knows what is going on. Today, this Thorn History represents the imperial court's conquest of Yu Er and others, if you are interested, or quickly return to the court, this Thorn History can ask the court to spare Er and wait for his life!"
"Yuan Shao's old thief is rampant, I would have asked you to beg for mercy? Don't be smiling and generous! On the contrary, if you had surrendered to my lord earlier, you would have been able to ask your father for your life. Otherwise, after conquering your army, you will be wiped out in the whole house, and there will be no one left!"
"If you're so arrogant, Ben Thorn Shi is standing here, see how you kill Ben Thorn Shi Manmen!"
Listening to Gongsun Ran's words, Yuan Shao laughed disdainfully, straightened his chest and stood there, as if telling Gongsun Ran of Hebao, Ben Thorn Shi is standing here, and you will come over if you have the courage. However, Gongsun Ran's words were full of words, but there was no action. The two sides dragged on like this, and neither of them made the slightest move.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Gongsun Ran Xiao'er just blocked the route of our army's advance, but he didn't make the slightest other move, could it be a deception?"
"Lord, my subordinates think that Gongsun Ran has no other ideas, just to stop our army and support General Feng Ji and them. ”
"That's right, Gongsun Ran only has 10,000 white horse righteous servants, and if he really goes to war, he will definitely not be able to stop our army. Therefore, Gongsun Ran is just bluffing. Besides, the lord already has a sharp weapon to deal with the white horse's righteous servants, so why don't you have to worry about it, and directly kill the general, Gongsun Ran will definitely retreat. ”
"No, now it is Gongsun Ran's army, if the lord's weapon is exposed prematurely, when he fights with Gongsun Chan in the future, he will definitely not be able to play a role. Since Gongsun Ran does not move, our army can also not move. General Wen Chou had an army of 50,000 men, and even if he was defeated, he would be able to retain his troops. This ambush will not succeed, and there will be a next time, as long as the soldiers and horses are saved. ”
Seeing that the strategists beside him started a war of words again, Yuan Shao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then made a decision.
"As Zhengnan said, our army's sharp weapon is used to deal with Gongsun Zhan, and there is no need to waste it on Gongsun Ran. When he fights with Gongsun Chan in the future, it is right to sacrifice the sharp weapon and destroy Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop. General Wen Chou has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and there will be nothing to do, so if Gongsun Ran doesn't make any moves, our army will wait slowly with him!"
With Yuan Shao's decision, everyone stopped arguing.
After nearly half an hour, Gongsun Ran waved his hand and left. (To be continued......)
