Chapter 439: A Different Boundary Bridge (Part II)
"The Art of War" has clouds, with righteousness and harmony, and victory with wonder.
This is just a sentence to put it bluntly, steady, don't wave.
This point has been confirmed as a military truth in countless wars in later generations.
In the original battle of the boundary bridge, Gongsun Zhan wanted to strike a gorgeous blow in the decisive battle because he forgot this, but was killed by Yuan Shao.
Now, Gongsun Zhan had been taught a lesson in the Red Star Camp, and in the face of another decisive battle, he changed his previous cavalry-based tactics and used the infantry and cavalry he had learned from Lu Zhina in Luoyang to fight together.
Yuan Shao saw that Gongsun Zhan really sent cavalry as the vanguard as he had guessed, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
This time, the formation was discussed by him with Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others, in order to lure Gongsun Zan into being deceived.
Yuan Shao did not have cavalry, but the number was too small to resist Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
On the battlefield, it is extremely terrible to lose one of the troops, so Yuan Shao has to use the method of pairs to offset Gongsun Zhan's cavalry advantage.
And the son he took out was Ju Yi's first deceased!
The first deceased soldiers, a total of 800 people, these 800 people are all Xiliang Han, these people followed Ju Yi to leave their hometown, who did not have a few lives in their hands, in the face of life and death, indifferent, Ju Yi once patted his chest to Yuan Shao and assured that even if it was five times the cavalry, he could not confront his own first deceased soldiers.
And it's not just these 800 people in the front line.
There are also a thousand people, who are strong crossbowmen that Han Fu has worked hard to build.
Han Fu didn't do nothing in Jizhou, he used Jizhou's wealth to build tens of thousands of strong crossbows, and now, they have become Yuan Shao's combat power.
The first to board the dead, naturally they also have a strong crossbow.
In the front battle, Ju Yi inhaled and looked at Gongsun Zhanjun on the other side of the bridge through the gap in the big shield, he was also holding a huge shield like other sergeants, the steel spear was placed on the left, and the strong crossbow that had been loaded with arrows was placed on the right.
"Come on! Gongsun Zhan, become my stepping stone for Juyi! ”
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!!
Thousands of cavalry, tens of thousands of horses' hooves, created a loud sound like thunder.
"Everyone has stabilized me, no arrows are allowed without my orders!"
Ju Yi shouted loudly, and someone sent an order down.
"Come on!" Ju Yi saw the cavalry rushing to his two hundred paces, holding his breath, holding on to the big shield, waiting for the moment when the arrows flew.
Five breaths!
Ten breaths!
Twenty breaths!!
What's going on?
The imaginary rain of arrows did not appear, Ju Yi hurriedly looked up, and a scene that made his back break out in a cold sweat appeared.
Thousands of cavalry, divided into two routes, walked around the formation, with no intention of going head-to-head.
Big things are not good!
It's been recognized!
Yuan Shao of the rear army also found out that something was wrong, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was actually preparing to bypass the front, the cavalry could run around, but his own infantry couldn't.
The infantry followed the cavalry, isn't this looking for death?
No, march!
Yuan Shao shouted at the moment: "Order the front army to march!" ”
The earth-shattering drum suddenly sounded, and Ju Yi of the former army looked back with wide eyes, looking at the handsome flag that was constantly shaking, and then he believed that there was nothing wrong with his ears.
Let me take the initiative?
This...
Although a hundred were reluctant, the order could not be violated, Ju Yi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hold a gun and carry a crossbow, enter!" ”
The eight hundred first-timers all carried their crossbows behind their backs, held their guns in one hand and their shields in the other, and began to press forward.
A thousand strong crossbowmen followed, also slowly moving forward.
When Gongsun Zhan saw that Yuan Shao's former army was actually moving forward, he immediately said, "Take the initiative to fight? Sure enough, there was a deception, and Tian Kai was ordered to attack! ”
Tian Kai began to cross the river with the veterans brought from Youzhou, and the cavalry led by Yan Gang and Wang Men also found the strong crossbowmen hiding behind the first dead soldiers after the detour.
The two couldn't help but rejoice.
It's okay, it's okay, otherwise it's another big defeat.
Yuan Shao's arrangements were all destroyed, and the current battle of the boundary bridge turned into a hard-fought duel of strength.
"Go around and attack the army behind them!" Yan Gang immediately made a judgment, as long as the crossbow array of 2,000 people is the nemesis of the cavalry, it is not a big problem for the Gongsun Zhan infantry who also have tens of thousands of people, and these cavalry should attack and harass Yuan Shao's headquarters in the back to lay the foundation for the final victory.
I saw two cavalry routes, bypassing the Juyi front army, and rushing towards Yuan Shao's rear army in an arc.
Yuan Shao's rear army suddenly began to panic, most of them were new recruits, and they had no experience in dealing with cavalry at all.
At this time, Ju Yi and Tian Kai were also less than 100 steps apart.
Ju Yi, who was anxious about the situation behind him, decided to charge to repel the enemy forces in front of him, and then return to help.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”
Ju Yi shouted loudly, and nearly two thousand arrows instantly formed a rain of arrows and pounced on Tian Kaijun.
Tian Kaijun's front army was also a veteran who had accompanied Gongsun Zan to fight in Biansai, and he didn't know how many times he had experienced the rain of arrows of different races in Biansai, so although he was killed by crossbow arrows, he continued to move forward without care.
"Put!" Tian Kai began to return the color to make his archers fight back.
"Damn! It's the border army! ”
Ju Yi only glanced at the expressions of those people on the other side, and knew where they came from.
After all, he couldn't be more familiar with this kind of taste.
"First to the dead!" Ju Yi shouted their slogans loudly.
"There is death and no life!"
The eyes of the eight hundred first-ascended dead soldiers suddenly changed, and they began to become more cold-blooded and more ferocious.
"Rush!!"
It takes a lot of time for the crossbow to be on the crossbow, so the first to kill the soldier directly threw away the crossbow and began to charge at Ju Yi's command.
"Kill!!"
Tian Kai doesn't care, the number of people on his side is absolutely superior, I'm still afraid of you?
Yuan Shao, who was on the other side, saw countless arrows flying out of the Gongsun Zan cavalry, and really understood what it meant to rain arrows.
"Ming Gong, do you want to return to the camp first? Think long-term? Tian Feng on the side pulled Yuan Shao and wanted to go back, he knew very well the combat strength of both sides, and now this battle could not be fought.
Yuan Shao only felt a surge of blood surging towards his head.
Withdraw?
Is there still room for him to retreat?
Now he is enemies on all sides, Zhang Yan, Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu, and Ma Qiang who is hiding on the side.
If he loses, let alone Jizhou, I'm afraid he will have to go to Cao Cao, who just got Dongjun.
Let yourself defect to Cao Cao?
Can this be tolerated?
Isn't it death? Lao Tzu fights!
Yuan Shao directly threw his helmet on the ground and shouted, "The husband is fighting to the death and hiding in the camp, how can he live?" ”
After speaking, Yuan Shao pulled out his sword, pointed to the front and shouted, "Yan Liang attacks the left, Wen Chou attacks the right, and the rest of the soldiers and horses charge with all their might, whoever can kill a thief will be rewarded with fifty acres of land and a thousand dollars, and those who kill a thief will be rewarded with a thousand acres of land, and the official will be promoted to two levels, and those who kill Gongsun Zan will be rewarded with ten thousand acres of land and be a marquis!" ”
Yuan Shao really fought hard and dared to say anything, but when he said this, it was indeed very effective.
Yuan Shaojun's eyes suddenly turned red.
What is the purpose of being a soldier, isn't it just for money and food, for high-ranking officials!
Our group of mud-legged people have a cheap life anyway, if we can exchange it for money and food in the field, we will die!
