Chapter 213 Zhang He retreats from the enemy
Early the next morning, the gate of Huguan was opened, and Zhang He led 5,000 soldiers to line up, set up a formation, and waited for the arrival of Gongsun Zhan's forward army.
At this time, Zhang He kept paying attention to the surrounding terrain. Zhang He had been studying the Art of War and knew how to use the terrain to fight the enemy. There are mountains on the north and south sides of Huguan, even if you are a good mountaineer, it is difficult to pass, you don't need to think about it, and the east is Huguan, you don't need to think about it, only to the west, there is a forest, Zhang He pondered for a moment and then calculated from his heart. Ordered his cronies to lead a hundred horsemen to the woods to prepare, and when he gave orders, they could act.
Not long after, Gongsun Zhan's forward had already come to Huguan, waved for the first general, and suddenly more than 10,000 soldiers lined up in formation, ready to attack at any time.
Zhang He secretly praised in his heart, worthy of being the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Zan who can fight against the alien races in the north, just from the speed of their formation, it can be seen that they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time.
"Who is coming, why did they invade my Jizhou territory for no reason. ”
Zhang Hepao stepped forward immediately, and the spear in his hand was pointed directly at the opposing general.
Gongsun Zhan's forward general is the general Yan Gang, a famous general in Youzhou, seeing Zhang He's unfamiliar face, not one of Wen Chou and Yan Liang, he was quite disdainful in his heart.
"Yuan Shao's command killed my lord's brother, this enmity is not shared, if you abandon your weapons and surrender, this general can spare your life. ”
"Courage, today I will know what you are capable of!"
Zhang He seemed to know that Yan Gang despised him, and deliberately pretended to be angry. Sure enough, the disdain in Yan Gang's eyes was even worse. didn't say much, commanded the four generals behind him to go out and take Zhang He in one fell swoop.
"Piff, take your life!"
"Xiao'er, don't be caught yet!"
The four generals under Yan Gang's command only knew the names of Wen Chou and Yan Liangwei, and they were not familiar with Zhang He, thinking that they could easily win it. The four of them rushed forward, wanting to take the lead in winning Zhang He and winning the first credit.
Zhang He sneered, slapped his horse and raised his gun, and the first general to rush in front of Zhang He was stabbed in the throat by Zhang He's gun before he could react, and he fell off the horse.
"General Zhang is mighty!"
"General Zhang will win!"
When Zhang He's 5,000 soldiers saw it, they shouted and cheered. The eyes of the 10,000 soldiers under Yan Gang's command flashed with surprise, but Yan Gang thought that his subordinates were rushing too fast and were killed by Zhang He without reacting, and still didn't care too much.
"Boy, how daring!"
Yan Gang's second general had also rushed to Zhang He, and when he saw the tragic death of his colleagues, he was angry that his hair was all open, and dozens of pounds of mace smashed fiercely at Zhang He.
Zhang He didn't dodge or dodge, only used a spear to pick open the mace, and another shot stabbed the door in the face, drilling out directly from the back of the head, blood and brain pulp mixed together, and the people who watched were terrified.
"Be careful!"
Yan Gang knew at this time that Zhang He was not simple, and when he saw that his subordinates seemed to be stunned because of the tragic death of his colleagues, he reminded loudly at the moment. However, it was too late, Zhang He smashed Yan Gang's second general to the ground, raised his gun and took the third general's chest, and the general didn't react until Zhang He's spear appeared in front of his eyes, and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The body was slightly tilted, and the chest was not stabbed, but Zhang He did not withdraw the spear, so he stabbed the opponent in the abdomen, and when Zhang He pulled out the gun, the intestines were pulled out. In the end, the third general fell from his horse with a wail, his brain bursting, and he died on the spot.
"Ahh
The last general screamed in terror, turned his horse and walked back. After only running a few steps, he heard the sound of "whirring" behind him, and just wanted to turn his head to look, but he was shocked to realize that he was flying, and then there was a stabbing pain in his chest, and when he looked down, his eyes were scattered, and he could only vaguely see a shining cold gun head emerging from his chest.
"Plop!"
It turned out that Zhang He saw that he wanted to escape, so he directly smashed the spear over, and the spear leaked out of his chest, and even flew several meters with his corpse.
On the battlefield, there was a sudden silence. It took a moment for the soldiers on both sides to react.
"Drink, drink, drink!"
"General Zhang is mighty!"
"General Zhang is invincible!"
The five thousand soldiers under Zhang He's command all opened their throats and roared angrily when they saw that their generals were so brave. There was a fire in the eyes of each soldier, and even though the other had twice as many soldiers, they showed no fear.
On the other hand, the 10,000 soldiers under Yan Gang's command were frightened by Zhang He's bravery, and fear flashed unconsciously in his eyes. Seriously, their legs couldn't stop shaking and began to tremble, if they weren't also veterans who had fought with other races, they would have lost their armor and fled in fright.
Seeing this, Yan Gang secretly said that it was not good.
Gongsun Chan made him a pioneer, not only did he not make military achievements, but he made his own morale low, and after he returned, he might be punished by Gongsun Chan.
"Be bold, let General Ben come and understand. ”
As soon as he thought of this, Yan Gang danced his long knife and slapped his horse out.
"Come on, let me take your head!"
Zhang Hecai killed the four generals under Yan Gang's command, and he hadn't had a good time, but when he saw the other party's main general coming forward, he was even more full of fighting spirit. Although Yan Gang is a famous general in Youzhou, Zhang He is not afraid at all, raises his spear, and pats his horse to meet him.
"Khooth!"
Yan Gang's long knife and Zhang He's spear clashed together, and both of them were shocked by each other's bravery, and their expressions were more cautious at the moment.
The horse turned around, the two danced with their blades in both hands, and the war horses under their crotch circled in circles, and they fought for thirty rounds, but they didn't know whether they won or lost.
"This guy has a lot of strength, I'm afraid I can't beat it!"
By the time the battle reached forty rounds, Yan Gang's strength gradually weakened, and there were already signs of panting. He pondered in his heart, if he continued to fight, he would definitely die. Now after the battle between him and Zhang He, his morale has been restored. Then, there is no need for him to continue to fight with Zhang He, just order the whole army to attack.
Today's Zhang He is less than thirty, not yet in the prime of life, and his strength has not yet reached its peak. Yan Gang is only a second-rate general, with the strength that Zhang He can fight with Zhang Fei when he was in his prime, how can Yan Gang fight with Zhang He for dozens of rounds?
Yan Gang had already made a decision in his heart, and now he found an opportunity to open up the anxious state with Zhang He, waved his long knife, and issued an attack command.
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
Zhang He's bravery did scare Yan Gang's 10,000 soldiers before, but when Yan Gang and Zhang He fought without a win, the soldiers knew that their generals were not weaker than each other, and the fear in their hearts disappeared. After Yan Gang gave the order, Judu rushed up with high morale, as if he wanted to burst out of his previous cowardly heart.
"Chong, follow General Zhang to kill the enemy!"
"Invade my territory and fight to the death!"
Because of Zhang He's brave performance before, the morale of the soldiers under Zhang He's command was also extremely high, and the soldiers on both sides fought together in a blink of an eye.
The battlefield is brutal, and people fall at every moment.
Zhang He's soldiers had just cut down a Yan Gang soldier, and before they had time to cheer, they were stabbed down by a shot from Yan Gang's soldiers. Subsequently, Yan Gang's soldiers were cut down by Zhang He's soldiers, and the cycle continued, and the battlefield was like an invisible meat grinder, strangling the soldiers on the battlefield one by one.
Zhang He danced his spear in his hand, rushed left and right in Yan Gang's military formation, and when he paused, he raised his eyes to look at the situation on the battlefield, and Zhang He's brows couldn't help frowning.
Although the morale of your own side is high, the morale of the other party is not weak. Moreover, the opponent's strength is twice as large as theirs, and if they continue to be so anxious, they will definitely lose in the end. Although Zhang He wanted to kill Yan Gang, Yan Gang seemed to know that Zhang He would have such thoughts, so he had always been under the protection of his own soldiers.
In this way, the plan that Zhang He had arranged earlier could come in handy.
I saw Zhang He dialing his horse back to the rear of his own military formation, waving his hands left and right. And Yan Gang had been staring at Zhang He, and when he saw Zhang He's abrupt move, he knew that there must be some action, so he hurriedly looked around.
"Herod!"
"Boom, boom!"
Suddenly, the horses roared in the woods to the west, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, and Yan Gang felt as if the whole earth was trembling violently.
"Not good, there is an ambush!"
Yan Gang's pupils suddenly shrank and he exclaimed.
He was puzzled before, there were 10,000 soldiers stationed in Huguan, and Yecheng would definitely send troops to support, Zhang He only led 5,000 soldiers to fight, which was obviously a bit abnormal.
At this time, the situation in the west indicates that there is an ambush there.
"The whole army gathers and retreats!"
Yan Gang knew that his own soldiers did not have an advantage, and if Zhang He still had ambush soldiers and rushed into the battlefield, he would definitely disturb his own formation, and they could only be slaughtered by the other party at that time. Thinking of this, Yan Gang ordered the withdrawal of troops without the slightest hesitation. Anyway, he is a pioneer, just come and test it, and if he remains undefeated, he will not be punished by Gongsun Zhan.
After Yan Gang withdrew, Zhang He immediately ordered the soldiers to enter Huguan. With the current situation in Jizhou, how can there be so many troops. It was also thanks to Zhang He's previous arrangement for hundreds of horsemen to run back and forth in the woods, creating signs that a large number of men and horses were ambushing. Otherwise, these 5,000 soldiers in this battle will be explained here.
"Jun Yi really had a good plan, so that Yan Gang returned in vain!"
Dong Zhao praised with a smile.
However, Zhang He's expression was solemn, and he said solemnly: "This is just a small ploy, when Gongsun Zhan's army arrives, he will definitely know the truth." Our army should be on full alert, if the pot is lost, how to be worthy of the trust of the lord. ”
Seeing that Zhang He was not complacent because of the victory, Dong Zhao secretly praised in his heart, and also listened to Zhang He's advice and arranged a large number of soldiers to patrol closely.
Feng Ji was on the side, and when he saw that Dong Zhao and Zhang He did not ask for their opinions, they were even more jealous in their hearts.
