Section 10 Bloodstained Canyon

At the end of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao and the Montenegrin army set up a position at the foot of Taihang Mountain in the northwest of Yi County. Since the Montenegrin army arrived a day earlier than Yuan Shao's troops to occupy favorable terrain, Yuan Shao's troops had to deploy their positions in depressions that were not conducive to combat. In December, the Taihang Mountains are covered with snow and frozen soil, and sometimes an inadvertent tremor can cause an avalanche. Fortunately, the canyon where Yuan Shaobu and the Black Mountain Army formed was located at the pass of the wind, and the amount of snow was not much. But the cold wind that swept out of the canyon was much stronger than that of the plains.

Facing the cold mountain wind, looking at the military formations rising and falling in the depression, Pang Tongyi, who accompanied Cai Jiyi on the expedition, complained with a resentful face, "Yuan Shao is too big, how can he slack off in the march and fight." If our army had arrived two days earlier, no, even if it was only one day, it would not have fallen to such an embarrassing state. ā€

Although Cai Ji did not understand military affairs, he also attacked from a high place, which was advantageous. At least at this moment, the strong mountain wind can greatly reduce the range of Yuan Shaojun's arrows. Therefore, after hearing Pang Tong's indignant complaints, Cai Ji had no choice but to ask Jia Xu what Daowen and Gong thought of this battle? ā€

Compared with the complaining Pang Tong and Cai Ji, who didn't know how to start, the older Jia Xu seemed quite calm. I saw that he tightened the bearskin coat wrapped around his body, and said indifferently that the war had not started, and the outcome was undecided. ā€

"Wen Hegong means that although our army has no geographical advantage, it still has other opportunities to win?" Cai Ji, who was confused, hurriedly asked.

But this time, Jia Xu did not answer Cai Ji's question directly, but said to him in a serious manner, saying that the lord is now in the rear army, and he only needs to keep to himself. ā€

However, Pang Tong obviously did not agree with Jia Xu's statement, but he saw that he was not to be outdone and refuted the text and this statement, although we are in the rear army. Ke Wen and the general and others listened to orders under Yuan Shao's account. If Yuan Shaoli made his mind faint and commanded indiscriminately, wouldn't he trap Wen and General in a dangerous situation? ā€

No, since Cai Ji made a military order in the big tent on the day of the fight, she assigned Zhang Liao and the three hundred elite armor soldiers in the battalion to Yuan Shao's command. Therefore, when Cai Ji led 3,000 cavalry to camp in the rear army, Zhang Liao and others were far away in the Chinese army and did not know how Yuan Shao would be dispatched. And Pang Tong has also formed a certain friendship with Zhang Liao these days, so naturally he will not care about the safety of this lonely army.

However, in the face of Pang Tong's questioning, Jia Xu only glanced at him and did not respond. And just when Cai Ji was about to make peace with the two of them, a dull drum suddenly broke out in the camp, and everyone followed the prestige, only to see Yuan Shao's golden armor and golden helmet, red robe and white horse, riding all the way from the ranks of soldiers. Behind him were Yuan Xi, Liyi, Wen Chou, Yan Liang and other generals in white robes. And as a group of people and others quickly swept by, Changge rose and fell, and the various phalanxes suddenly erupted in cheers.

"Yuan Gong Mighty Yuan Gong Mighty"

Yuan Shaojun's shout soon rode the mountain wind and reached the camp of the Black Mountain Army located at a high place. Compared with Yuan Shaobu, who has a strict lineup, the military appearance of the Montenegrin Army is obviously much lazier. These remnants of the Yellow Turbans, who have wandered among the mountains and fields all year round, have neither uniform clothing nor unified weapons, and even the formation is just spread out like beans. But every Montenegrin army as an individual invariably exudes a wild and untamable murderous aura. There were even some strong women with spears in their hands. Obviously, fighting, killing, and looting have long been infiltrated into the lives and blood of this group of people. Far from deterring the Black Mountain Army, Yuan Shaojun's shouts at the foot of the mountain aroused everyone's fighting spirit. But I saw that the Montenegrin military department in the front row pulled out the guys in their hands one after another, and set their eyes on their Qu Shuai-Zhang Yan with eager eyes.

Zhang Yan is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a square face and a wide forehead, a purple complexion, and a beard that is not long but dark enough. In addition, it is more than eight feet tall, and it looks particularly dignified against the backdrop of a ring lock armor. At this moment, while feeling the strong fighting spirit of the subordinates behind him, while coldly examining the performance of Yuan Shao and his generals under the mountain, Zhang Yan, who was standing on the top of the mountain, showed a shallow smile, I haven't seen it for many years, Yuan Benchu still loves to show off. But I don't know if his golden armor is my body? ā€

In the face of Zhang Yan's mocking words, Zhao Yun, who was standing behind him, did not echo it. However, Gongsun on the side continued to flatter Daoqu Shuai, Zhiyong and Yong in a timely manner, and today he will definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao and shock Hebei. At that time, even if Yuan Shao's golden armor does not fit, he will continue to offer a set of golden armor to express his heart. ā€

Gongsun Xu's words obviously made Zhang Yan very useful, but when he saw him laughing, he jumped to the front of the battle, and in front of the Black Mountain Army, he picked up the long lance in his hand and pointed directly at Yuan Shaojun under the mountain.

"Kill the thief"

With Zhang Yan's order, the battle of the canyon officially kicked off when the sun was empty. In an instant, thousands of arrows fell straight on Yuan Shaojun's head like a silver rainstorm. Yuan Shaojun, who took the lead, was almost all foot soldiers, and in the face of the dense rain of arrows, they raised their shields to resist the rain of arrows. But in a short time, the kung fu shield was full of arrows, and the wails of those who fell to the ground after the arrows were heard one after another.

"Kill all these dogs"

Seeing that Yuan Shaojun, who was under the mountain, had no power to resist except raising his shield to resist, Du Chang, the vanguard of the Montenegrin Army, took the lead in leading the most elite cavalry of the whole army, and drove down the slope with great momentum. The rumbling horses' hooves take advantage of the slope to give people a sense of overwhelming mountains. Yuan Shaojun, who was already overwhelmed by the rain of arrows, faced such an impact comparable to an avalanche, and suddenly scattered and fled like ants scattered by the rainstorm. Seeing this, the Black Mountain infantry who followed behind the cavalry was also encouraged by the horn, raised their long ges and spears, and rushed straight down with a shout.

Gongsun Xu on the hillside watched the offensive of the Black Mountain Army under the mountain, and his excitement was overflowing, let's also take advantage of the victory with Zhang Qushuai to pursue and kill him."

As Gongsun Xu said, Zhang Yan had already rushed down the mountain with his subordinates at this time, but Zhao Yun did not echo Gongsun Xu's mention. But after seeing him look at the battlefield below, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Dao for a while, and there seemed to be something strange under the mountain. ā€

As if to confirm Zhao Yun's advice, when the vanguard of the Black Mountain Army was about to cross the depression, the war horses under the feet of the cavalry suddenly became disobedient. No matter how the Black Mountain cavalry scolded and whipped the war horse, the war horse still stopped and neighed continuously. It turned out that the location of Yuan Shaojun's vanguard formation was a soft mud field. It was only because it was covered with snow at the beginning that it failed to attract the attention of the Montenegrin army on the mountain. Once the cavalry of the Montenegrin army took advantage of the mountain to rush straight down, the horse's hooves would involuntarily sink into the mire. Some of the Montenegrin cavalry did not notice this in time, and eagerly insisted on driving the horses forward. As a result, the stumbling horse was in pain, and directly threw out the cavalry on its back. The Montenegrin footmen who rushed down the hill soon fell into this predicament. It's just that the rush has been rushed down, how can you get back? The neighing of a horse mingled with the screams of the people, turning the momentum of the pursuit into a catastrophic mess.

At the same time, Yuan Shaojun, who had been pursued by the Montenegrin army like a lost dog, rearranged his position on the opposite slope. After a while, the rain of arrows fell into the depression again, and this time the object of the greeting was replaced by the Black Mountain Army. Since the cavalry and infantry of the Montenegrin army lacked sufficient protective gear, the damage of the arrows to them was far better than that of Yuan Shao's army just now. Not only that, just as the Montenegrin army was in a dilemma, two large stones suddenly fell from the sky. The Black Mountain Army, who had no time to dodge, was smashed into slices of meat sauce when they stopped.

"Really don't know how to set up a formation? Lone is to install these two trebuchets, which will be a day late. Under the handsome banner, Yuan Shao triumphantly pointed to the wolf under the mountain, and the unbearable Montenegrin army was embarrassed. Behind him, a group of muscular soldiers were busy pulling trebuchets and loading stones.

"The general is smart, and a rabble like Montenegro can be the opponent of the general." Feng Ji shook his head and touted Yuan Shao. Seeing this, the rest of the staff also rushed to praise Yuan Shao's wisdom and bravery. However, Guo Tu, as a military advisor, stood aside and did not say a word.

However, Yuan Shao himself did not accept all the flattery of his staff. I saw him turn around and report to Yuan Xi behind him, "Xi'er, you did a good job this time." If it weren't for the fact that you reminded your father that there was such a valley, and built yƬ and brought a trebuchet, where would your father be able to pay such a small price today?"

When everyone heard that this plan was offered by Yuan Xi, who had never been outstanding, they were surprised and turned around to compliment Yuan Xilai. However, to everyone's surprise, Yuan Xi, who should have accepted the praise calmly, suddenly took a step forward and bowed to Yuan Shao and hugged his fists, "Father, forgive me." In fact, the matter of the valley was told by General Koji to the child, and the trebuchet was also the child of Koji. Therefore, this victory in the canyon was the work of General Kojiyi. The child did not dare to take credit. ā€

As soon as Yuan Xi's words came out, the staff, including Guo Tu and Feng Ji, all became strange. As for Yuan Shao's face, it turned even redder to white, and from white to blue. After a while, Yuan Shao glared violently, then turned his head and pointed at the depression on the opposite side and snorted coldly The trebuchet has poor accuracy, slow speed, and can't shoot a few times. Our arrows also need to be spared. Why didn't Cai Anzhen's halberd warrior attack yet?"

Xu is Yuan Shao's words played a role, and after a while, Yuan Shaojun's rain of arrows and flying stones gradually stopped. The vast majority of the Montenegrin army, which had suffered heavy losses, had lost its fighting spirit. But a group of centaurs broke free from the flesh and blood. That is the Black Mountain Flying Cavalry headed by the pioneer general Du Chang. The heavy blow of the previous round reduced the number of Black Mountain Riders to less than five or six hundred. But the momentum of this group of remnants has not diminished because of this, on the contrary, at this moment, the body of every Black Mountain Flying Rider is full of anger and murderous energy.

"Bastard Yuan thief has the ability to fight with grandpa with real knives and guns"

Yuan Shaojun's style of play obviously angered the young general, and Du Chang brandished his spear and shouted at the Yuan army camp opposite. And struggling out with him to the cavalry is also murderous. Seeing that Yuan Jun's camp did not react, Du Chang immediately let out a long roar and led his men to step over the corpses of his brothers, and rushed straight towards Yuan Jun along the narrow valley bottom. In such a bad environment, you can also instigate horses to fight, such horsepower, such riding skills have to be intimidating. However, before Du Chang and the others could approach the Yuan army's camp, a group of armor soldiers armed with long ges and halberds suddenly rushed down from the slope - three hundred armor soldiers.

Infantry vs. cavalry? If this is in the endless plains, the Black Mountain cavalry will defeat these 300 armor soldiers without any suspense. But this was in a narrow valley, and the speed and maneuver of the cavalry could not be fully deployed. On the contrary, the three hundred armorers holding Changge and halberds rushed straight to Du Chang and the others like tigers descending from the mountain. And the first person was Zhang Liao. And this group of armor soldiers is naturally the euphorbia that Cai Ji allocated to Yuan Shao.

The so-called halberd is a long-handled weapon that combines Ge and spear, and has a variety of uses such as hooking, pecking, stabbing and cutting. As for the euphorbia, as the name suggests, it is a samurai who wields halberds. Today's best hand in the halberd is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian. However, there are not many people who can really make a good halberd, especially a halberd, in actual combat. Since Cai Ji's batch of halberd warriors were made up by Yuan Shao to drive ducks to the shelves, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, the vast majority of armor soldiers were equipped with Ge and ring head knives that were easier to use. Only Zhang Liao alone holds a halberd in his hand.

"Kill"

But seeing Zhang Liao let out a tiger roar, the halberd in his hand pierced a cavalryman from his waist like a lightning bolt, and then he pulled it fiercely, and the whole person was thrown out. The surrounding armor soldiers also used the Changge in their hands to tear off the recalcitrant cavalry on the horse one by one.

Du Chang dodged a long brother of a soldier sideways, and when he turned around, he nailed the other party to the ground with a return pistol. Xu was too strong, Du Chang pulled the barrel of the gun, and the gun was stuck on the corpse. In desperation, Du Chang had to give up the spear and draw the long sword at his waist instead, but he didn't want to turn around and see a general in chain mail not far away who was holding a halberd.

Just looking at each other like this, Du Chang and Zhang Liao already understood that the other party was the key to victory or defeat. I saw Du Chang roaring and riding his horse and raising his sword towards Zhang Liao, while Zhang Liao held his breath and stood in place with a halberd. In just the blink of an eye, Du Chang had already rushed in front of Zhang Liao, and swung his long blade at the opponent's head. For this blow, Du Chang was very confident. Because he had used the same trick more than once before to take off the opponent's head. However, this time the expected feel did not come from the end of the sword, but on the contrary, Du Chang heard a long cry of sorrow from the war horse.

The front legs of the long war horse were broken. He didn't even have time to turn over, he was crushed by the injured horse and couldn't move. At the other end, Zhang Liao, who was on one knee, slowly stood up and casually discarded the halberd that had been broken into two pieces. As for the helmet that was originally worn on his head, he was long gone, replaced by a long black hair that was loose. Obviously, Du Chang didn't miss it completely just now. It's just that at this moment, Du Chang was lying on the ground and couldn't move, but Zhang Liao pulled out his saber from his waist.

And at the moment when Zhang Liao and Du Chang fought to the death, the other side of the canyon, the black horse and black armor, saw that the time was ripe, and immediately waved a long whip to lead the left wing of the soldiers and horses towards the Black Mountain Army that had begun to retreat.

"No soldier should be spared"
