Chapter 193 I have Zilong, why am I afraid of Lu Bu?
With Yuan Shao's order, Ju Yi, the commander of Yuan Shao's army, ordered the 60,000 horses of the front army to form three huge phalanxes, each composed of 20,000 people, in the shape of 'product', and killed the military formation of the Fenwu army.
The strategists and generals behind Han Cheng looked at Yuan Shao's army slowly coming, and their ears rang with what Han Cheng said yesterday.
"When the two armies fight, the most important thing is morale, and if the momentum is like a rainbow, they can move forward bravely and be invincible.
I came with an army of 80,000 soldiers, and it was when the morale of the soldiers was in full swing, if I could only stick to the city at this time, then how would I fight for dominance in the future?
No matter how many men and horses there are on the other side, as long as I give an order, the soldiers of the Fenwu Army will definitely show their weapons and fight bravely.
This is the spirit of daring to 'show the sword', this is the spirit of 'the brave wins when meeting on a narrow road', and with this spirit, our Fenwu army will be invincible.
Therefore, tomorrow's battle will not only be fought, but also fought beautifully, so that Yuan Benchu will know how powerful my Fenwu army is. ”
These words were made by the speaker passionate; The listener's blood boiled.
It is precisely because of Han Cheng's determination to move forward that there is today's battle under the city.
When Yuan Shao led the army to arrive, Feng Ji beside Yuan Shao also ridiculed Han Cheng.
At that time, Feng Ji said to the people around him: "Our strength is more than three times the strength of the Fenwu Army, Han Cheng is not honestly cowering in the city, but takes the initiative to set up a position under the city, isn't this a brain in water, what is it?"
Could it be that he still wants to defeat our army of 250,000 with an army of 80,000? ”
After Yuan Shao listened, he waved his hand, stopped Feng Ji's idea of continuing in time, and said to Feng Ji: "Yuan Tu, Han Cheng did this for his purpose, you don't understand. ”
Then in a voice that could only be heard by himself, he muttered, "Han Cheng, you are a respectable opponent. But I have to exterminate you this time, in case you grow up, it's terrible! ”
And Han Cheng in the Fenwu Army, when he saw Yuan Shao's army move, he took the command flag, handed it to Zhang Liao on the side, and said calmly: "Wenyuan, since yesterday, you have been the commander of the Fenwu Army.
I'll leave this battle to you.
Don't be pressured in everything, I've been behind you. ”
Zhang Liao took the command flag with a serious face and replied to Han Cheng: "Please rest assured, my lord, Wen Yuan will definitely live up to expectations." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and ordered to the soldiers of the Fenwu Army: "Zhang Yan, lead an army of 20,000 and set up a cone formation to fight against the enemy. ”
Zhang Yan replied with a "promise" and took the order.
After a while, the 20,000 Fenwu army formed a cone-shaped formation and slowly walked towards Yuan Shaojun's three 'pin' squares.
Ju Yi in Yuan Shao's army looked at the Fenwu army that was forming a cone formation on the opposite side, and a smile of success appeared on his face.
Since Juyi led the army, he has never fought such a rich battle.
The important thing about the three-to-one comparison of forces is that 'three' is talking about oneself.
Before this, the ratio of troops in the great wars in which Ju Yi participated was often three to one, but Ju Yi was the 'one'.
Although Ju Yi has an arrogant personality, his outstanding military ability makes people have to admire.
On the battlefield, Ju Yi is the kind of 'genius' who is born with the ability to command and fight.
The 60,000 horses of Yuan Shaoqian's army were the worst in terms of training, loyalty and physical fitness of the soldiers.
Ju Yi used them as the front army, firstly, to test the Fenwu army and see the reaction of the Fenwu army.
If the Fenwu army turns a blind eye, let the front army break through the formation of the Fenwu army, and then the army presses in one fell swoop, then the battle can be won; If the Fenwu army dispatches men and horses, it will fall into Ju Yi's plan of 'luring the snake out of the hole'.
Second, if the Fenwu army dispatches men, the front army will inevitably collapse in a battle, and the vulnerable front army can make the Fenwu army relax its vigilance.
When the 20,000 horses of the Fenwu Army were dispatched, they fell for Ju Yi's plan, so Ju Yi showed a smile of success.
However, from top to bottom, the Fenwu Army did not know it.
As long as the people who can be selected for the Fenwu Army are all adult men who are physically strong.
Coupled with the long-term training of the Fenwu Army, the 20,000 troops led by Zhang Yan are all well-trained elite soldiers.
When Yuan Shaojun collided with the Fenwu army, there was no fierce spark, but it was like a silent one-sided massacre.
When the 'massacre' was going on, Yuan Shao knew about the situation of his former army and had no opinion on it.
And Zhang Liao, who was in the Fenwu army, looked at Yuan Shao's former army, which was easily defeated by himself, and felt a trace of unease in his heart.
Half an hour later, the Fenwu army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, while Yuan Shao's army had already suffered more than 15,000 casualties.
And the well-trained Fenwu army still maintained a conical formation, while the formation of Yuan Shaoqian's army on the opposite side had already become fragmented, but he didn't hear Ju Yi's order to withdraw the army, so he didn't dare to retreat, and he was just struggling to survive.
Ju Yi saw that the 20,000 troops of the Fenwu Army were entangled with his own front army, and he knew that the time was ripe.
Immediately ordered: "The left army is to attack, responsible for encircling the enemy army together with the front army; The right army attacked and was responsible for preventing the enemy from coming to the rescue. ”
This time, Yuan Shao's army was divided into three parts: the front army, the middle army and the rear army.
The front army is the 60,000 'make-up' army that has just been easily defeated by the Fenwu army.
The Chinese army, with a total of 90,000 horses, was divided into three parts: the left wing army, the middle army and the right wing army, each with more than 30,000 people.
The Chinese army is not used to 'make up the numbers', they are all well-trained elite soldiers.
The rear army was 60,000 horses responsible for the transportation of grain and baggage.
As for the remaining 40,000 horses, they were Yuan Shao's cavalry and elite troops such as the 'Xiandeng Battalion'.
In the rear army, the Fenwu army was different from Yuan Shaojun, and the troops in the Fenwu army who were responsible for transporting grain, grass and baggage were not counted in the regular army.
The left army mentioned by Ju Yi is the left wing army in Yuan Shaozhong's army; The Right Army, that is, the Right Wing Army in Yuan Shaozhong's army.
The 60,000 men of the Left Wing Army and the Right Wing Army, after receiving Ju Yi's order, quickly attacked under the leadership of his chief general and surrounded the 20,000 troops of the Fenwu Army.
Zhang Liao watched Yuan Shaojun's men and horses move, and before he could react, he saw that the 20,000 troops he had just sent were surrounded by Yuan Shaojun.
On Zhang Liao's forehead, I don't know when a cold sweat broke out.
It was not until this time that Zhang Liao finally understood the intention of the commander of Yuan Shaojun's army - this was to 'lure the snake out of the hole' and 'besiege the army to help', and the main purpose should be to force out the cavalry of the Fenwu army.
Zhang Liao instantly had a trace of admiration for Yuan Shaojun's commander of the army.
With such a big advantage, he is still steady, and he must be a battle-hardened and experienced person.
However, Zhang Liao didn't have time to think about it, after all, for Zhang Liao now, the biggest problem he faced was how to solve the current dilemma?
When Yuan Shaojun surrounded the Fenwu Army, Yuan Shaojun's strategists saw Ju Yi's intentions and couldn't help but praise.
"General Juyi's tactics, high!"
"With such a powerful tactic, how can Han Cheng deal with it? I guess he abandoned the army and fled. ”
......
In the Fenwu Army, Han Cheng and others also saw Yuan Shaojun's intentions, and they were very anxious.
Since Han Cheng handed over the command to Zhang Liao, he would believe Zhang Liao.
So, Han Cheng came to Zhang Liao's side, patted Zhang Liao's shoulder and said, "Wenyuan, calm down, I believe in your ability!" ”
This simple sentence shocked Zhang Liao's heart.
Some people, when they encounter difficulties, will only panic; And some people, the more difficulties they encounter, the calmer they are. Zhang Liao is the latter.
So, Zhang Liao's brain was running at high speed, and he quickly came up with a solution - to break the surface with points.
How to break the surface with points?
For this lord who dares to lead 800 soldiers and attack an army of 100,000, it is very simple.
Go straight to the opponent's banner and kill the opponent's boss.
Zhang Liao thought that since the commander of the opposing army wants to let our cavalry come out, then, I will send the cavalry out and see how you take it?
After some careful consideration, Zhang Liao then ordered to the generals of the Fenwu Army: "Liu Bao leads the 10,000 Sharp Knife Army, and Fu Luo Han leads the 10,000 Sharp Blade Army to directly attack Yuan Shaofang's 60,000 army that has just arrived, and strive to rescue our 20,000 trapped brothers."
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, two generals, led the 5,000 Qinglong Army respectively to directly attack the banner where Yuan Shao was located, and the main task was to kill Yuan Shao. ”
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he saluted Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, and said apologetically: "The tasks of the two generals are difficult. It's just that Wenyuan's duty today is that he can't lead his troops to attack. Otherwise, Wen Yuan would definitely attack the place where the enemy's main general was with the two. ”
Huang Zhong replied confidently: "Don't say so sorry, isn't it just a rush?" It's not that I haven't rushed.
Brother Zhao Yun and I have joined forces, even if Lu Bu is here today, we will successfully complete the task. ”
And Zhao Yun just smiled at Zhang Liao silently, as if to say, just look at it, it will definitely not disappoint you.
It turned out that after Zhao Yun returned to obedience, because of Han Cheng's strong respect, all the generals in the army were not convinced, so they secretly tried each other.
When Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, who were the first to play, fought to the eighty rounds, Huang Zhong actually showed that he was invincible, and Zhao Yun was still at ease, and all the generals were shocked.
Don't dare to doubt Zhao Yunzai, after all, under the kettle, Huang Zhong and Lu Bu fought alone for sixty rounds, and this Zhao Yun's martial arts chased Lu Bu directly.
Therefore, Zhang Liao let Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong attack the enemy army and kill Yuan Shao.
Ju Yi looked at the 30,000 cavalry of the Fenwu Army galloping over, and silently calculated in his heart: "20,000, 10,000, 10,000, and 10,000, it's already 50,000 horses." The remaining 30,000 horses could only be guarded by Han Cheng's side. It seems that the whole army has been dispatched. ”
After thinking about it, Ju Yi said to himself again: "Han Cheng, Quliang City is defeated, and today, I will take it back." ”
It turns out that Ju Yi has never been defeated so far.
The worst time was under Quliang City, Han Cheng, who suddenly came with the cavalry, was caught off guard.
Han Cheng had already forgotten about this matter, but Ju Yi had always been haunted by it.
After all, for Ju Yi, defeat is rare.
Seeing that all the opponent's men and horses had come out, Ju Yi ordered eight generals to lead the army into battle in one breath to prevent the enemy cavalry from approaching.
These eight generals are: Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Ran, Ma Yan, Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan, Zhou Ang, and Han Xun, all of whom are first-class generals.
Maybe because of the bravery of Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, all the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun knew it; Maybe it's because Yuan Shao has a large number of generals and 'deep pockets', so he sent so many generals at one time.
After receiving Ju Yi's order, these eight generals each led a cavalry of more than 1,000 people and headed straight for Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong saw that the other party's generals were coming straight to him, and while riding his horse forward, he silently took off the treasure bow behind his back, after all, it was eight people, and it was definitely more difficult to fight than seven people.
Ma Yan, one of the eight people under Yuan Shao, chose an inappropriate time and looked back at the soldiers behind him, and at this moment of turning around, he was captured by Huang Zhong.
The bow was like a full moon, and the arrow was like lightning, and it was in front of Ma Yan in an instant, and before Ma Yan could avoid it sideways, he was pierced through his brain by this extremely fast arrow.
Huang Zhong smiled with relief, eight minus one, and there were only seven people left.
The remaining seven people saw the power of this arrow, and while riding their horses, they kept their eyes on Huang Zhong's bow tightly, for fear that they would be next.
It wasn't until the two sides met that Huang Zhong put down his bow and took out his knife, and the seven of them were relieved.
Before they met, the seven people glanced at each other, reached a tacit understanding, and quickly divided into two teams.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were a team and came to fight against their old rival Huang Zhong, while the other five people came to fight against Zhao Yun under the leadership of Gao Ran as another team.
Although Huang Zhong has improved his martial arts after the battle with Lu Bu, even against Yan Liangwen and Chou, he still does not fall behind at all, but for a while, he can't take down the two generals of the three armies under Yuan Shao.
On Zhao Yun's side, it was different.
I saw Zhao Yun's gun like a dragon out of the clouds, and a horse like a meteor catching the moon.
As soon as he saw him, in just one round, he slashed Yuan Shao's subordinate generals under the horse.
Shocked by the four generals Gao Lan, Zhang Nan, Zhou Ang, and Han Xun, they hurriedly gathered the strength of the four and urged them to step forward to fight against the enemy.
Because the four of them knew that their own side had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, as long as they dragged Zhao Yun, the balance of victory would tilt to their side.
How could Zhao Yun not understand this truth, and immediately shouted: "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, who dares to come to die?" ”
This loud shout frightened Zhou Ang's heart, and the weapon in his hand slowed down.
Zhao Yun had already observed this fearless Zhou Ang, and the gentian bright silver spear in his hand once again plunged into Zhou Ang's vital point at an incredible angle.
Zhou Ang raised the halberd in his hand to resist, but he was still a step too slow, and Zhao Yun's gentian bright silver spear pierced through his chest, piercing it through the heart.
Gao Lan, Zhang Nan, and Han Xun saw that Zhao Yun was so brave, and in less than three rounds, they killed the two of them, and they had the intention of retreating in their hearts.
Zhao Yun saw that the three of them had no intention of fighting, and his heart was overjoyed.
Coming straight to Han Xun, Han Xun saw Zhao Yun coming, he was so shocked that he was covered in sweat, and quickly turned the horse's head and fled on his horse.
The remaining Gao Ran and Zhang Nan knew that the two of them were not Zhao Yun's opponents, so they had to silently turn their horses' heads and gallop away.
Han Cheng looked at Zhao Yun on the battlefield and said to the people around him: "I have Zilong, why are you afraid of Lu Bu?" ”
