Chapter 223: A small victory
At the gate of the camp of the Fenwu Army, Pan Feng, the commander of the Xuanwu Army, who was in charge of the defense of the camp gate, immediately shouted happily and involuntarily after receiving Han Cheng's latest attack order.
"Whew"
This shout seemed to vent all the pent-up emotions in his chest.
This is human nature, and it is no wonder that Pan Feng can't control it.
Since Han Cheng established the Xuanwu Army, this battle was the most humiliating battle fought.
The Xuanwu Army, dressed in heavy armor, can be said without exaggeration to be an army armed to the teeth.
Creating the price of one Xuanwu soldier can also create the price of at least five cavalry.
Judging from the price alone, the price of the Xuanwu Army is almost the same as that of the Qinglong Army.
However, the Xuanwu Army only had 5,000 people, while the Qinglong Army had 25,000 people, a five-fold difference.
Such a high pay, naturally, is also a lot of gains.
Yes, the Xuanwu Army, with its invulnerability and disregard for any attack, has always been invincible on the battlefield.
There is only a case where the enemy army killed is deserted and flees, and there has never been a situation where the enemy army is beaten and flees.
But this battle is different.
The battle was like a giant ship capsizing in the gutter.
The task of the Xuanwu Army is to hold the gate of the camp, which is the kind of defense that cannot attack, but can only be held.
There is nothing wrong with the command itself.
After all, Yuan Shaojun's food was burned, and the army led by Ju Yi must be menacing, and he must be the first to send the most elite troops to attack the gate of the camp, take the camp as quickly as possible, and win the battle.
In this case, the Xuanwu Army will inevitably fight with Yuan Shaojun's elite troops, and then the Xuanwu Army will not retreat and become famous in a battle, and since then, it has become famous all over the world.
This hypothesis is indeed perfect, but the reality does not develop in this direction.
Yuan Shaojun's elite troops did not come, but a group of ordinary sword and shield soldiers came.
The most common thing about this group of sword and shield soldiers is that they don't fight with you happily, they just cower under the huge shield one by one, and then desperately squeeze into the camp.
You strike them, and they hold up their shields; You cut them, and they put up their shields; You can only push them out as hard as you can.
This time they didn't raise their shields to block them, because they knew that there were many of them.
5,000 people push 10,000 people, even if the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army are all as strong as cattle and have great strength, but the heavy armor on their bodies and the desperate crowding will still make them very tired.
Besides, after you pushed the men out of the camp, they came back after a while.
It's still the familiar face, the familiar them.
It's not a tactic, it's a blatant trick.
And it's the kind of trick you know he's playing tricks, but you don't have a trick.
Han Cheng's latest order can finally make the Xuanwu army turn from defense to offense and boldly go to battle.
Since there is such a military order, Pan Feng's voice sounded in the Xuanwu army, "The Xuanwu army listens to the order and goes out of the camp to kill"
The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army are all arrogant, and they are as aggrieved as Pan Feng in their hearts.
After hearing Pan Feng's order, everyone's arms seemed to be filled with infinite strength, and they slaughtered out of the camp in one fell swoop, and set up a formation outside the camp.
The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army firmly believed that with the cooperation of each other, these sword and shield soldiers who played tricks would inevitably be quickly killed by them.
Although the Suzaku Army behind the Xuanwu Army was not as aggrieved as the Xuanwu Army at the front, they were also unhappy.
Originally, under the leadership of the arrow god Huang Zhong, he wanted to carry out a painful slaughter of Yuan Shaojun's vanguard troops.
However, the shields put an end to this hope of the Suzaku Army.
Huang Zhong, who was the chief general and short-tempered, was so upset that he almost rushed into the sword and shield soldiers with his treasure knife and fought fiercely.
Han Cheng's latest order was quickly conveyed to the Suzaku army, and even though Huang Zhong was not allowed to lead the army to attack, Huang Zhong was still satisfied.
After all, out of sight is pure, and if you can't see it, you won't be angry.
Huang Zhong comforted himself with such a self; While taking the Suzaku Army to quickly withdraw to the rear army.
Regarding Han Cheng's latest order, it can be said that the happiest people are Liu Bao and Fu Luohan in the rear army.
Cavalry has always been used to charge into battle, and rarely to hold a large camp.
Today's battle is a defensive battle, and the advantage of cavalry charging into battle does not have a lot of room to play in a defensive battle.
Therefore, he was arranged by Han Cheng to the rear army.
Liu Bao and Fu Luohan knew that in this battle, there was not much chance of making meritorious contributions.
At most, when the war is about to end, rush out of the camp and pick up some leftovers to comfort you.
This kind of battle situation is a shame for the brave and warlike Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei people.
But Han Cheng's military order is a big mountain.
Even if they feel that the shame of not fighting explodes in their hearts, they can only endure it silently.
The sudden military order allowed Liu Bao and Fu Luohan to lead the army to the battle, and the dissatisfaction that was blocked in their hearts also drifted away into the distance with the soft wind that was blowing.
When Liu Bao and Fu Luo Han conveyed the news, all the soldiers of the Sharp Blade Army and the Sharp Knife Army all showed a look of elation and full of fighting spirit.
The battle of the Xuanwu Army was a bit unexpected by Ju Yi.
Ju Yi didn't expect that the offensive and defensive positions of himself and the Fenwu Army would be switched at all.
Looking at the army that came out of the big camp, the experienced Ju Yi knew the plan of the Fenwu army, and a trace of contempt and countermeasures rose in his heart.
The main reason for the contempt is because of Juyi's contempt.
Ju Yi thought, "If the person in command of the Fenwu Army camp at this time is himself, he will definitely not use this direct way of leaving the camp to fight against the sword and shield soldiers.
Because of the way of going out of the camp directly, there are too many drawbacks, such as the slow speed of the Xuanwu army, which can't catch up with the sword and shield soldiers who want to escape;
The gate of the battalion was too small for the follow-up army to keep up
And he will take a better way to fight the sword and shield soldiers.
For example, bring down the camp walls on both sides of the camp gate, so that the cavalry can quickly attack, go around behind the sword and shield soldiers, and kill them.
As for the defense of the collapsed camp wall, it can allow the Xuanwu Army to defend horizontally, and make the Suzaku Army hide behind the Xuanwu Army."
Ju Yi's approach can easily give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, the Xuanwu army, and the Vermilion Bird army.
and will not be tied like Han Cheng.
This is the reason why Ju Yi despises it.
Thinking of this, Ju Yi sighed again, "Hey, it seems that in the Fenwu Army, only Zhang Wenyuan is worthy of being his opponent." ”
Although the unexpected dispatch of troops made Ju Yi a little confused, Ju Yi, who had experienced a hundred battles, came up with two countermeasures in the blink of an eye.
The first countermeasure was to make the army behind the sword and shield soldiers directly press on and fight with the Fenwu army.
Although the Xuanwu army in the Fenwu army is still very strong, after a battle with the sword and shield soldiers, the physical strength will definitely be lost.
In the event of an engagement, it will not take long to withdraw to the camp.
And when they were in a scuffle, the Suzaku Army, who was good at archery, was afraid of accidentally injuring their comrades, so they couldn't give full play to their advantages.
The two of the three strong armies are gone, and the Fenwu Army still has any combat power to speak of, and the scale of victory will inevitably be biased towards the Juyi side.
It's a step-by-step, steady strategy.
The first countermeasure is to let the sword and shield soldiers continue to be entangled with the Xuanwu army.
When all the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army came out of the gate of the camp, they ordered the sword and shield soldiers to retreat quickly.
Ju Yi guessed that the Fenwu Army would inevitably send cavalry to attack behind the Xuanwu Army and happily pursue the sword and shield soldiers.
Because the sword and shield soldiers suppressed the Fenwu Army too ruthlessly, the main general of the Fenwu Army was about to vent his anger.
After pursuing a certain distance, the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and the speed of the Xuanwu army was too slow to march for a long time, so the pursuing cavalry of the Fenwu army became a situation where the army went deep alone.
At this time, the army he had arranged early surrounded this lone cavalry, and then ate it happily.
And the Fenwu army can only watch themselves eat them without any way.
Under the premise that Yuan Shaojun's strength itself was superior, he once again achieved such a good stage victory.
The scales of victory are not biased towards the side of Juyi, but have been tilted.
Two countermeasures were in front of him, and Ju Yi's brain thought quickly
"The first response is to be steady, but not very winning; The second response is risky, but the chances are significant.
Another problem is that after the second countermeasure is implemented, whether the battle is won or lost, it will be criticized by the strategists. ”
Thinking of this, Ju Yi automatically discarded the verbal and written criticism of the strategists.
Because Ju Yi has always believed that as long as his credit is big enough and high enough, Yuan Shao can't do anything to himself.
These verbal and written criticisms do not mean anything to me.
So, after thinking about it, Ju Yi did not hesitate to choose the second countermeasure.
The speed at which the Xuanwu army left the camp was indeed as slow as Ju Yi expected, and blocked the follow-up army.
As a result, the Blade Army and the Sharp Knife Army waited for a long time behind the Xuanwu Army before they were able to leave the camp.
As soon as the cavalry of the two armies left the camp, they saw at first glance the sword and shield soldiers of Yuan Shaojun, who were running towards their own camp.
The cavalry of the two armies that were finally released will miss this opportunity to pursue the victory
He scattered his horse's hooves and chased after him.
Sima Yi, who was beside Han Cheng, saw the cavalry chasing towards Yuan Shaojun's sword and shield soldiers, and said to Han Cheng embarrassedly, "My lord, my subordinates think it's not appropriate to pursue at this time. But I can't say anything wrong, so please decide whether to pursue or not."
Sima Yi is not modest, he is telling the truth.
At this time, although Sima Yi was full of wealth, his experience was limited after all.
Therefore, it is not possible to judge Juyi's intention in a short period of time, but it is faintly inappropriate.
Out of his responsibility as a strategist and his trust in Han Cheng, he said what was in his heart.
After listening to Sima Yi's words, Han Cheng suddenly seemed to think of something.
He hurriedly said to the herald beside him, "Hurry up and withdraw the troops."
Han Cheng's reaction was very fast, and when the sound of Mingjin sounded, Liu Bao and Fu Luo Han, who were convinced of Han Cheng, immediately suppressed the fighting spirit in their hearts and ordered to quickly withdraw their troops back to the camp.
No matter how fast the reaction was, there were still some extremely fast cavalry who were about to rush to Yuan Shaojun's position, which meant that they had entered the encirclement set by Ju Yi.
Ju Yi in the distance also faintly heard the sound of Mingjin, and his face once again showed a look of surprise.
muttered, "The Fenwu Army is no longer the Fenwu Army of the past, and there are many talents, which really impresses me." ”
Then he gave the order to the prepared army, "Attack"
Fighters are ever-changing, fleeting.
With Ju Yi's order, nearly 3,000 cavalry of the two armies were surrounded by Yuan Shao's army.
Fu Luohan was retreating, and suddenly saw the surrounded army, and he couldn't bear it, so he turned around and wanted to go back to the rescue.
Liu Bao grabbed him stubbornly and said eagerly, "Brother, you will die when you go back, and there is no value." Let's hurry back to camp at our behest and the Guild will avenge us. ”
After so many days of fighting side by side, Fu Luohan was still somewhat convinced by Liu Bao's words.
I saw that after Fu Luohan listened to Liu Bao's words, his eyes were red, and he turned his horse's head again and returned in the direction of the Fenwu Army camp.
And the nearly 3,000 cavalry was quickly swallowed up by Yuan Shao's army.
By evening, the two sides had already stopped fighting.
Yuan Shaojun lost 2,000 sword and shield soldiers on his side, most of whom were killed under the pursuit of cavalry.
The Fenwu army, on the other hand, lost three thousand cavalry.
In this battle, Ju Yi won a small victory.
No one knows how many forces under Yuan Shao's command were mixed with the 80,000 troops under Ju Yi's command.
In the baggage battalion, there are several soldiers who are Guo Tu's eyes.
They followed Guo Tu's plan, sorted out the battle situation during the day, and then sent a person, riding a fast horse, to quietly send Guo Tu over.
After Guo Tu saw it, he thought about it for a long time, so he got up and walked towards Yuan Shao's camp.
Yuan Shao in the camp
Guo Tuyi said to Yuan Shao rhetorically, "My lord, I suspect that Ju Yi has a heart of disobedience. ”
Yuan Shaozheng was overwhelmed by the affairs of Fangcheng County.
Then he said listlessly to Guo Tu, "Public rules, there is no real evidence, you can't talk nonsense." ”
Guo Tu pretended to take two steps forward mysteriously, and then whispered to Yuan Shao, "Lord, I just got the news that in today's battle, Ju Yi did not send all the men and horses.
It's just a simple attack for the sword and shield soldiers, and make a show.
Ju Yi knew that the matter was urgent and deliberately delayed, wanting to embarrass the lord's face. ”
Guo Tu's last few sentences are heart-wrenching.
Yuan Shao loves face very much.
It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, but you can't lose face.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao shouted loudly, "Ju Yi, I let you for a while, and I can make you fail for a lifetime."
said angrily to Guo Tu, "Who do you think can succeed Ju Yi and complete the task of attacking the camp of the Fenwu Army." ”
Guo Tu pretended to think for a while, and whispered, "Lord, at this time, it must be reliable for your own family." My family will be anxious about my own affairs, and the lord asked me to say one person, and I think the lord's nephew is competent. ”
While Guo Tu was thinking, Yuan Shao was also thinking.
When Guo Tu finished speaking, Yuan Shao said, "Yuan Cai has also experienced a lot of things. Pass my order, and let Yuan Cai replace Ju Yi. ”
Guo Tu said expressionlessly, "No, my subordinates will go to give orders." ”
In his heart, he secretly rejoiced, "Gao Gan, Gao Gan, I have helped you a lot." I planned this, so you must do your best. Don't waste a piece of my hard work. ”
