Chapter 155: The Battle of Youzhou (1)

Sanggan County and Gaoliu County are the two most important strategic counties in Dai County in addition to Dai County.

Taking the strategically located Sanggan County is the first step in Juyi's plan.

Sanggan County, located at the intersection of Zhongshan County, Youzhou Zhuo County and Shanggu County, the importance of geographical location naturally needs not be said.

But Liu Yu, the former Youzhou pastor, did not pay attention to it, and just treated it as an ordinary county seat.

At the beginning of Han Cheng's army, he let Han Hao be the vanguard and led 3,000 men and horses to occupy the county first.

But after getting the news that Ju Yi led the army to Dai County, Han Cheng asked Han Hao to lead the army to withdraw from Sanggan County, which is intriguing.

When Ju Yi led the army to the city of Sangan County, he saw that there were no defenders in the city, and it was an empty city with no army stationed, and he wondered in his heart: "What is going on?" ”

Ju Yi, in terms of martial arts alone, is not outstanding among Yuan Shao's many generals; However, when it comes to commanding troops and fighting and grasping the battle situation, he is a well-deserved 'first person' among Yuan Shao's many generals.

Although I wondered in my heart, no one wanted the county seat that was given away for nothing.

So when Ju Yi saw the current situation in Sanggan County, he immediately issued an order for the army to occupy Sanggan County.

After everything was deployed, Ju Yi led hundreds of cronies to stand on the city wall, laughing loudly: "Haha, I didn't expect Han Cheng to be like a mouse, and when he saw my army coming, he immediately fled with his tail between his legs. ”

After laughing at Han Cheng, Ju Yi went down to the city and ordered the army to relax and rest, posing as if he was loose in military discipline.

Secretly, he arranged for his subordinates to explore the horses and explore the wind and grass within a hundred miles of Sanggan County.

And let the 3,000 'first dead soldiers' and 3,000 elite soldiers never leave their weapons and armor, ready to fight at any time.

A typical look of loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

It wasn't until two days later that no unusual behavior was found, and Ju Yi ordered someone to report to Yuan Shao, asking Yuan Shao to send troops to take over Sanggan County.

Yuan Shao had already installed his 'cronies' in the army led by Ju Yi, and he had already received the news of Ju Yi's occupation of Sanggan County two days ago, and when Ju Yi's subordinates came to tell him, he said with a displeased face: "I know." So he let the messenger step aside.

Then arrange for Chun Yuqiong, a general who had already been ready, to lead 3,000 men and horses to take over Sanggan County.

After Chun Yuqiong's men arrived in Sanggan County, Ju Yi led his army to the next strategic county, Gaoliu County.

This Gaoliu County is the second largest county of Dai County, with thick and tall city walls, sufficient food in the city, a large population, and a prosperous economy.

If it weren't for the First World War, Han Cheng would be reluctant to give up such an important county seat.

So, under Gaoliu County, Han Cheng's army was neatly arranged, with 5,000 infantry in the middle and 10,000 cavalry covering on both flanks, forming the most commonly used formation in the army-phalanx, waiting for the arrival of the Juyi army.

Ju Yi led the army to the city of Gaoliu County, and he could see the formation of this formation at a glance.

After seeing this formation, he understood in his heart that this was Han Cheng going to give it a try with himself, and the battle intent in his heart exploded.

After all, when the two armies fought with the same strength, Ju Yi really didn't fear anyone - if you invite you to fight, I will fight.

Just as Ju Yi arranged for his men to form a formation to break the formation, one person rushed out of Han Cheng's military formation.

Yuan Shaojun's soldiers fixed their eyes and saw that the person who rushed out turned out to be Huang Zhong.

I saw Huang Zhong take the lead, rushed out of the military formation, and shouted at Ju Yijun: "I am Huang Zhong, who dares to fight with me?" ”

The battle between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu under the Huguan is still vivid in Yuan Shao's soldiers.

Although Huang Zhong was defeated at that time, Huang Zhong's martial arts had been revealed, and he was not an extraordinary person, so no one in the Juyi army dared to come forward to fight.

Ju Yi looked at Han Cheng in the military formation and said in his heart: "Hmph! Carving insect subtotal. It's just that he wants to suppress the morale of our army by relying on Huang Zhong's courage before the two armies fight. ”

He called his cronies to his side, Ju Yan, and whispered a few words.

After listening to Ju Yi's words, Ju Yan did not stop too long, and immediately rode out of the battle and shouted at Huang Zhong: "General Huang's courage is not as good as it was back then."

If General Huang can be so brave in Sanggan County, maybe my general will have two tricks with General Huang.

But now, forget it, after all, there are too many cavalry in your army, and if you really run, our infantry will not be able to catch up. ”

The language of Ju Yan clearly pointed out the fact that the Fenwu army fled without a fight under the city of Sanggan, and the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun burst into laughter after hearing this.

It not only restored the momentum, but also hit Huang Zhong's arrogance.

Huang Zhong saw that the Ju Yan who came out of the battle was more than 270 steps away from him, and his bow and arrow could not shoot the Ju Yan.

had no choice but to return to the army in anger amid the laughter of Yuan Shaojun's soldiers.

Soon after Huang Zhong returned to the military formation, the army of the Fenwu Army moved, and 15,000 soldiers formed a phalanx and slowly moved towards the Juyi army opposite.

Ju Yi is familiar with the large array opposite: there are few troops in the middle, typical of bravado; With a large number of troops on all sides, it can better defend against enemy attacks. This is a more balanced formation in attack and defense.

Ju Yixin said: "Since Han Cheng wants to use this phalanx to test the sharpness of my 'first to ascend to the dead', then I will do what you wish." ”

Therefore, Ju Yi immediately ordered: "The whole army will set up a cone formation against the enemy, and the 'first deceased soldier' will be the vanguard of the cone formation to break through the formation of the enemy's Fenwu army." ”

"Be the first to die, be brave first."

It was manifested when the Ju Yi Army and the Fenwu Army first came into contact, whether it was the cavalry or infantry of the Fenwu Army, they were not the opponents of the 'first to die soldiers'.

The 'First Dead Soldiers' had their own tactics against the infantry and cavalry, so they were defeated by the Fenwu army.

Han Cheng looked at the three thousand 'First Dead Soldiers', with a yearning look in his eyes, and said to Li Ru beside him: "The 'First Dead Soldiers' really deserves to be the strongest army in the world today." Ju Yi is a talent. ”

Li Ru said insidiously: "Hehe, don't worry, the lord should not worry, although the 'first to die soldiers' is strong, but if there is no leader of Ju Yi, it is just a plate of loose sand." ”

Han Cheng knew that what Li Ru said made sense, so he said to Han Hao, the captain beside him: "It's almost over, Mingjin should withdraw his troops." ”

When the order to withdraw the troops sounded, the Fenwu army slowly retreated, leaving more than 2,000 corpses, and directly abandoned Gaoliu County and went straight to Dai County.

Ju Yi smiled: "Hmph! To be an enemy of me is nothing but self-inflicted humiliation. ”

Let people tell Yuan Shao the good news of this battle.

......

Yuan Shao was in the base camp on the border of Zhuo County and Hejian County at this time, listening to his subordinates report on the battle situation in Dai County.

The more Ju Yi won, the greater the hatred for Ju Yi in Yuan Shao's heart.

After all, when Yuan Shao had just been in Handan County and had an absolute advantage in troops, he ended in defeat in the battle with the Fenwu Army;

And his general Ju Yi has won many battles, isn't this a naked slap in the face of Yuan Shao?

It was night, and it was quiet in Yuan Shao's camp.

Ten miles away from Yuan Shao's camp, Gongsun Zhan led 10,000 elite cavalry to ambush again.

An army of 80,000 came to attack him, and the current Gongsun Chan really couldn't bear it.

Although I can't bear it, I have to resist it.

After all, Gongsun Zhan's current position was fought step by step from a small soldier.

And there is only the defeated Gongsun Chan, and there is no Gongsun Chan who surrenders without a fight.

Yuan Shao's army came to attack, if Gongsun Zan wanted to win, he had to be taken by surprise and unprepared.

So, the 10,000 elite cavalry under Gongsun Zhanji appeared here.

Gongsun Chan looked at the night sky where he couldn't see his fingers, it was pitch black, and he ordered: "The whole army will attack." It is mainly based on food shortage, supplemented by hurting people. ”

The army behind Gongsun Chan, after hearing the order, rushed away.

Yuan Shao had many advisers, and someone had already arranged all the precautions in the military camp.

Gongsun Zhan's army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and it raided Yuan Shao's camp.

Arriving at a distance of three miles from the camp, Yuan Shao's camp remembered the warning sound, and the soldiers hurriedly put on their armor and weapons, and prepared to meet the enemy.

Gongsun Zhan has been on the battlefield for a long time and knows the current situation, so he either retreats immediately or continues to rush.

Gongsun Chan chose the latter, and the 10,000 cavalry still rushed to Yuan Shao's base camp, but slightly changed the focus of the attack.

Yuan Shao's soldiers resisted the camp gate in the camp, prepared bows and arrows, and waited for Gongsun Zhan's cavalry to enter, so as to 'entertain' them properly.

No one would have thought that when Gongsun Zhan's cavalry arrived at the camp gate, they did not impact the camp gate as imagined, but flew out of the cavalry team one by one torches.

These torches, with flames at the front, flew towards Yuan Shaojun's camp with the inertia of the cavalry galloping.

As soon as dawn, Yuan Shao clicked on his army.

Although the soldiers did not suffer much damage.

But many military tents were burned, which made Yuan Shao a disgraced situation.

At the same time, the news that Ju Yi had taken Gaoliu County and won a great victory under the county seat was transmitted back to Yuan Shao's military camp.

Yuan Shao's face became even more ugly. After all, Yuan Shao and Ju Yi are complacent, and the other is disgraced, which makes Yuan Shao even more faceless.

Guo Tu, who was standing beside Yuan Shao, saw Yuan Shao's face, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, but he said depressedly in his heart: "What's going on lately?" How can you come up with a plan, Huang has a plan, is Han Cheng his nemesis? ”

Tian Feng didn't care about Yuan Shao's face, and said: "Tell the lord, General Ju Yi and Gongsun Chan have been fighting for a long time, and they know Gongsun Chan's methods. Why don't you transfer General Juyi back from Daigun? Let someone else be on top? ”

After listening to Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao said angrily in his heart: "Ju Yi, it's Ju Yi again." ”

But there was no dissatisfaction on his face, and he said to Guo Tu on the side: "Gongzhi, what is your opinion?" ”

Guo Tu's small eyes quickly turned, and said, "I think what Tian Beijia said makes sense." ”
