Jijun barracks
After the rain, the sky was blue, clean and bright, the sun rose, the sun sprinkled down to form a mist, the barracks were lined up, the tents were neatly arranged, and the soldiers were patrolling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hah, hey"
The soldier pulled out for training, hey haha kept sounding, the ground was still a little damp, and a lot of cooking smoke was rising not far away, and cooking was being made.
"Pei Ziyun won Baoyang County, all the people brought by Xie Chengdong were killed in battle, and only one person was spared!" This news came into the main tent, but the inside of the main tent looked dark and gloomy, and when it came in outside, it was as dark as night in an instant, and the captain finished his speech, and stood solemnly, while Zhao Yuan twisted his face, his muscles were twitching, and he was terrifying.
Zhao Yuan paced a few steps in the tent before he could barely suppress his anger and fear, and couldn't help but think of Jibei Hou's advice.
Zhao Yuan is an old subordinate who has followed the Marquis of Jibei for many years, but he was only a battalion before the incident, and he was still in the list of reductions, seeing that he had fought for more than ten years, and he had no merit and hard work, but he became an official, and he was indignant in his heart.
The old boss Jibei Hou got into trouble, not only did he not cut it, but he also became a guerrilla general, others don't know how to feel, he is a heart to death.
At this point, he also vaguely knew that not only the lord, but also King Lu also wanted to get rid of Pei Ziyun, and his task was to tacitly cooperate with Pei Ziyun to strangle him, and even capture Baoyang County to open up the situation.
But now that Xie Chengdong's people are all dead, this plan is completely useless, he gasped for a moment and asked, "How is the situation now?"
"There are still lurking people in the county to send news, depending on the situation, there are 700 cavalry, there are 1,500 in Baoyang County, 500 are county soldiers, 1,000 are sent by the county, the number is worse than ours, but with cavalry, it is not easy to fight!" The lieutenant said after a little thought: "Moreover, he also went out of the city and camped, and seemed to want to fight with us in the field." ”
"General, what should I do now? Do you retreat or advance?" After a long time, the captain asked in a low voice, the guerrilla general is the lowest general, and below him is the captain, in fact, he is the deputy, so he can naturally ask.
Zhao Yuan listened, but hesitated, now his army is still thirty miles away from Baoyang County, can advance or retreat, he has 3,000 people, the enemy is 2,700, but the enemy has 700 cavalry, if the enemy guards the county seat, he can't attack it at all, he will have to withdraw his army.
Now that the enemy is out of the city to fight with him, it will be difficult to decide.
Zhao Yuan paced a few steps, just thinking, the lord's great trouble is this person, if I can kill this person, the lord's great cause can be accomplished, how can the war be retreated?
What's more, once the lord fails, not only will he lose his glory and wealth, but he will also have to connect the three clans!
Now that I have retreated, where can I retreat by then?
It's just a death left and right, it's better to fight, Zhao Yuan thought of this, and his expression became hideous: "Seven hundred cavalry, 1,500 county soldiers, can barely fight." ”
"I am going to get rid of this great trouble for the prince today. Zhao Yuan said viciously, seeing that the captain hesitated, he pulled out his knife and slashed the wooden case with one sword: "The order goes down, and the whole army will go out of the camp and line up to fight Pei Ziyun." ”
"Yes, General. The lieutenant replied.
With the issuance of Zhao Yuan's order, the horn sounded, and the military camp became solemn, and it didn't take much time to pull out the camp and head towards Baoyang County.
Baoyang County official road, by a piece of flat land, has set up a large camp, although it is a temporary camp tent, but it is also considered orderly, Daxu has only been open for ten years, the law has not been relaxed, whether it is the imperial army or the Marquis of Jibei, the camp is quite disciplined, the winter is erected, the summer is dug trenches, the sentinel enters and exits from the camp to explore the surrounding environment, and there are people who carry water to make food and feed the horses.
In the tent, Pei Ziyun sat in the main seat, and there was a sentinel to announce: "Report ...... Zhao Yuan has led the army to ten miles from our camp!"
"Okay!" Pei Ziyun stood up and said, "Pass the order, the whole army will go out of the camp and line up!"
The horn sounded, and soldiers continued to pour out of the barracks, in an orderly manner, and the long line with the fire was leaving the camp, and after three times, the military formation had been formed.
Pei Ziyun looked at it, and saw that although it was orderly, most of the county soldiers trembled slightly, and couldn't help shaking his head, and said instructively: "Pan Hu!"
"Mark it in!" a lieutenant stepped forward and replied loudly.
"The enemy formation is only 3,000 people, the array is thin, I personally led the cavalry to break it, you control these county soldiers, once our army wins, immediately attack together. ”
"Those who dare not obey orders, those who retreat, will be beheaded!"
These words were murderous, and everyone was cold, but Pan Hu said loudly: "Real person, how can there be a reason for the Lord to rush into battle, real people, please sit down, mark the battle, you can't break it, and you will correct me!"
Pei Ziyun shook his head: "What you said is right, but the enemy formation also has some elite soldiers, and the real person must fight quickly, and there can be no accidents." ”
"Don't say it, just listen to me. ”
If it was in the army, even if Pei Ziyun said this, the general would not be willing, but now the highest official position is only a captain, and the gap is too big, although he feels that it is inappropriate, he does not dare to continue to defend, so he has to swallow his saliva and respond: "Yes!"
After a short time, the army slowly approached, stopped at three hundred paces, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In the enemy formation, Zhao Yuan looked at it in armor, very surprised, and asked, "What is this?" Pei Ziyun is a Qincha, personally leading the cavalry?"
After getting confirmation, Zhao Yuan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "This person is crazy, even if it is a bait, I will swallow it, and tell the whole army that as long as this person is killed, he will be promoted to three levels in a row." ”
"Pei Ziyun is a Qincha, controlling 100,000 troops in four states, he dares to bet like this, how can I retreat?"
"Whoever dares to retreat will be killed. ”
"I'm fighting hard today, and I'm going to bite this bite!" As he ordered with a sneering smile, the entire military formation slowly rushed out!
As soon as the Ji army moved, Pei Ziyun immediately dispatched, and seven hundred cavalry rolled away with Pei Ziyun, and when the first hundred paces were made, the horses were jogging, and after a hundred steps, the horses were getting faster and faster, converging into a stream of iron.
The sound of hooves rolled, the dust was filled, the earth seemed to tremble, Zhao Yuan suddenly changed color, his old army was gone, this cavalry impact looked at it, and he knew that it was wrong, and his recruits might not be able to resist.
"Archers come forward!"
The speed of the horses was too fast, and before they stepped forward, the cavalry had already rushed to the front, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and even the expressions of the people in front could be seen.
"Put!"
"Puff puff" A rain of arrows fell, and suddenly dozens of cavalry rolled and fell, but it was too late for the second round.
"The old battalion stepped forward, and the spears lay flat. ”
"Whoa" neatly, the spear team was only two hundred people, but when he put down the spears in his hand, a row of cold spears was formed, shining with the cold light of metal, which was Zhao Yuan's real capital.
"Hold the crossbow, release!" In the charging team, Pei Ziyun's words were clearly audible, only to see the charging cavalry, pulling out the crossbow in front and shooting flat, and shooting directly at the sky in the back.
"Puff puff" A rain of arrows fell, and the spear forest of the old camp opposite suddenly screamed, and many people rolled down.
"Throw the crossbow, draw the sword, kill!" The cavalry was so fast, speaking of killing, the cavalry in front was already rushing to the opposite spear.
"Kill!" Sure enough, it was the old battalion, although it was attacked, it was a little flustered, and his face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and held the spear tightly, and stabbed out together at this time.
The spear pierced, a spear into the flesh popped, the front cavalry was a hole, spilled a puddle of blood, miserable, but the horses that charged hundreds of meters pressed up with heavy inertia, and suddenly the old camp was also a scream one after another.
"Kill!" Pei Ziyun secretly thought that if this was the case, there were many people who worshipped the spear party, but in fact, there had never been an example of a spear that could resist cavalry since ancient times, let alone a thin spear formation.
The secret lies in the fact that the charging cavalry horses have a momentum of more than several tons, as long as they are willing to sacrifice the front row, there is no chariot trench to block it, and a simple spear forest cannot intercept it at all.
Dozens of people were carried down in front, and the entire spear array had been broken, and the next cavalry had a long knife and a knife light, and the spearmen suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and even the horses trampled directly and mercilessly on it, trampling to death on the ground, and some were not trampled to death, but were still rolling and struggling and screaming.
The smell of blood made people want to vomit, and the stream of blood flowed down, and the recruits of the Jijun army looked at all this, all of them were colorless, and their Adam's apples rolled up and down rapidly, hesitating.
"Hook and sickle battalion, up!" Zhao Yuan shouted, this is a weapon that specializes in dealing with cavalry and cutting the horse's legs, but in fact, this weapon has no effect when charging at high speed, only when the cavalry falls into the military formation, the speed slows down to cut the horse's legs, so it is arranged on both sides.
"Yes, General!"
The lieutenant shouted a command, and the hook and sickle immediately rushed forward.
Pei Ziyun sneered: "It's ridiculous, maintain speed, kill!"
Pei Ziyun was dressed in triple armor, deliberately holding two long knives, the speed of the horse was getting faster and faster, feeling the wind blowing in his face, in the slight bump, Pei Ziyun suddenly had a burning feeling.
"Even if an ordinary person is born with great strength, how can he compare with a Daoist who has truly refined his body to perfection?"
"Wearing a triple armor and weighing tens of kilograms, it can still bear it. ”
"And my martial arts, even though there are thousands of troops, can still grasp the flaws and key points in an instant. ”
The moment he rushed in, Pei Ziyun's long knife was directed, and the knife broke through the air, cut through the pierced spear or hook sickle, and fell along the flaw - or simply undefended.
No matter how strong a veteran is, how can he be compared to a master?
It's not that there are no weapons to attack the body, but there is a clanging sound, and only scars appear, and when the knife light arrives, one by one the heads fly out, and blood sprays directly onto the body.
In the spiritual sense, everything became clear, the angry and panicked faces turned into screams in a blink of an eye, the array of the hook and sickle battalion was torn apart, and it was impossible to stop it for a moment, and the sharp spear tip tore through the array, and the cavalry who followed the charge left and right swung their knives down without any resistance, and dozens of hook and sickle soldiers were immediately cut down.
"No, it's impossible......" Zhao Yuan looked dumbfounded, seeing that he quickly broke through the hook and sickle camp, followed by bows and arrows and recruits.
The recruits and the archers couldn't react at all at this distance, and immediately panicked to bomb the camp, and the deputy lieutenant saw that it was not good, and led his own soldiers to pounce, and slashed a soldier who wanted to escape, and roared: "Don't retreat, don't retreat." ”
