Volume 6 The Heroes Fight the Deer Chapter 67 Smoke Screen Attack
In the deafening roar of horses' hooves, countless eagle flags waving in the wind covered the sky, and the frenzied Bohai naval cavalry was like a black giant sword, which instantly split a small part of the oncoming Yuan Shujun cavalry, and hundreds of Yuan Shujun wearing ochre clothes were like small splashes in the black wave, and disappeared without a trace.
The cavalry of the Bohai Navy continued to impulse, and crushed the phalanx of Yuan Shujun's infantry hundreds of paces away. When an eagle general pointed at the long lance, the rolling iron flow behind him was immediately divided into three, except for the Chinese army, which was still directly rushing into the enemy position, the other two armies attacked the enemy's two wings like two long snakes. The archers in Yuan Shu's army who were hastily arranging the formation were caught off guard, and there was a great chaos immediately.
The piercing eagle whistle sounded in the sky, and all the moving Bohai naval cavalry suddenly took off the reins of their hands and drew their bows and arrows at the same time. The rapid whistle of the eagle changed again and again, and the dense rain of arrows immediately converged into a flood of locusts to take off first. When the rain of arrows climbed to a certain height, they swooped down fiercely, shooting Yuan Shujun's archers in a cluster.
The main general of the Yuan Shu army was obviously not idle, and the huge shields in front of the formation were quickly erected, and spears stretched out of the shield wall, pointing directly at the Bohai cavalry that was approaching in an instant.
"Hah!" In the midst of the wild shouts, there was a sudden "buzzing" sound in the galloping cavalry formation of the Bohai Navy, and hundreds of heavy short axes spun at high speed and flew in, directly hitting the shield wall.
The heavy force generated by the flying slammed into the shield wall, and the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan who held the shield in one hand were all violently shaken, and their mouths were numb, and many of them even fell backwards, so that the entire originally solid shield wall gave birth to a wave of ripple-like shocks.
At the moment when the shield wall was flawed, the black tide-like cavalry rushed up at the same time, and one of the eagles in the forefront picked up a pair of iron halberds and smashed them, and actually split several Yuan soldiers with shields and flew upside down, with an astonishing momentum.
Screaming in surprise, countless cavalry of the Bohai Navy jumped up on horseback, and actually crossed the shield array at the front in the air, and directly entered the enemy's formation.
At the same time, the cavalry of the Bohai Navy on both flanks were like two red-hot swords, stabbing into the two ribs of the enemy's formation.
With the sound of the horn and the sound of rolling wheels, countless four-wheeled chariots unique to the Bohai Navy surged from all directions, closely following the cavalry, beginning to consolidate the results of the battle and provide long-range support for the cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan's army formation had collapsed.
However, the Bohai Navy seems to be determined to do more than that, and the Black Eagle, which symbolizes the main general in the distance, is under the banner and makes the flag fly. In the smoke and dust, one after another cavalry and chariot formations seemed to be pouring out endlessly, or smashing the Yellow Dragon, or attacking the side in a roundabout way, with the potential to eat the Yuan Shu soldiers and horses in front of them.
Farther away, on a small hill, two generals of the Cao Army were looking side by side, observing the movements on the battlefield without blinking.
One of them was thrilled to see it, and couldn't help but gasp and said, "Man Cheng! I've always heard how elite the Bohai Navy is good at fighting, and I still think it's an exaggeration, but today I know what it is! ”
"Wen Qian, are you scared?" That Mancheng is Li Dian, a rookie of the Cao Army, and he laughed: "Are you calculating in your heart, what are the chances of our army winning against the Shangbo Navy?" ”
That Wen Qian was another Cao Jun rookie Le Jin, he heard Li Dian's mockery, but he was not moved, but was silent, and said after a while: "It's not too scared!" It's just that if the two armies have the same strength, there is really no chance of victory! ”
"Who will Eagle Yang Zhonglang be?" Li Dian said with emotion: "The famous generals who have never tasted defeat since the Yellow Turban have fought more than 100 battles in their lives, and there are countless examples of winning more with less and defeating the strong with the weak...... And not long after our army was formed, it was difficult for any soldier to resist it, which is an indisputable fact! ”
"You seem to admire General Ying Yang Zhonglang?" Le Jin glanced at Li Dian obliquely: "I heard that the eldest brother of your Li clan is serving in the Bohai Navy, and he is one of the top three generals, you kid don't want to go to the top three!" ”
"Hugh should look down on me!" Li Dian said proudly: "Although my eldest brother is in Bohai, I have had the desire to compete with him since I was a child!" Now each is his master, and he has what he deserves! ”
"But!" He suddenly sighed as if he was a little deflated, "Now, he is too far ahead of me!" ”
"Man Cheng can't be depressed!" Le Jin has always had a good relationship with Li Dian, and immediately comforted: "As the so-called heroes come out of troubled times, you and I are young, and everything in the future is unknown, so do you know if you can't be a marquis?" ”
"Thank you! I just saw that the Bohai Navy was so strong, and I was shocked! Li Dian looked at the battlefield in the distance in a daze, stretched out his hand and said: "You see, Zhang Xun, the general of the Yuan Shu Army, is also a good general, and he has never lost half a point against our army for many days, but today, he was defeated by the Bohai Navy like a devastating force, how can it not be touching?" ”
"That's a good thing!" Le Jin's face twitched, but he still kept smiling and said: "Now we are friendly forces with the Bohai Navy, once we defeat Yuan Shu, we can take the opportunity to develop and grow, and we may not be weaker than the Bohai Navy in the future!" ”
"A good thing? How do I feel ashamed? Li Dian suddenly clenched his fists: "As a general, but I can't defend my territory, seeing the foreign army killing the enemy in the front, you and I can only stand far away, only to pass on the news...... I'm so angry! ”
"Huh?" Le Jin suddenly narrowed his eyes, pointed to the battlefield and said, "Look...... The main force of the Bohai Navy chased Zhang Xun to the southeast, but another Bohai Navy soldier and horse detoured to the southwest! Do they have another purpose? ”
"Not surprising! The Bohai Navy has always been good at outflanking and detouring, and likes to cut off people's back roads! Li Dian said casually: "Who makes people rich?" The whole army was either cavalry or chariot soldiers, and even the infantry ran in chariots! It's fast! ”
"That's right!" Le Jin was stunned, and immediately said with relief: "The wonder of Yingyang Zhonglang's use of soldiers is something that even Cao Gong imitated and figured out...... How can you and I discern it? ”
He turned around and instructed his entourage: "There is no need to record this article, immediately report the battle report to Cao Gong immediately, and ask him to send troops quickly to recover the surrounding cities!" ”
It is impossible for anyone to imagine that at this moment, in the Bohai Navy, which was moving in the southwest direction, the commander-in-chief of the Bohai Navy was sitting in one of the chariots, quietly moving away from the Yanzhou battlefield.
As the wheels spun, messages flowed into the car.
"General Yu, General Gao Shun has led the army to pursue the remnants of Zhang Xun in the direction of Yuxian, and it is expected that he will go deep into Yuzhou in one day!"
"General Yu, our department has passed Jiyang County, and at this speed, we can reach Kunyang in a day and a half!"
"No enemy scouts have been found within forty miles of our army's rear!"
"The Rangers have moved fifty miles forward, and everything is normal!"
Listening to a series of reports outside the car window, Nanying let out a sigh of relief: "Very good! The order is to let the old brothers of the Northern Army be the vanguard, and from now on until the territory of Yingchuan, they are old horses who know the way! At the same time, he ordered the whole army to speed up as much as possible, taking advantage of the fact that all parties in the world were focused on the Yanzhou war...... Raid Nanyang! ”
"Now......" he slowly closed his eyes, "I'm going to take a break!" ”
"Yes! Checkmate! When you enter the Yanling territory, your subordinates will report again! The herald's respectful voice faded away.
The Bohai Navy, which had been silent for a year, suddenly exhausted its main force, entered Yanzhou from the direction of Qinghe, and at the request of Cao Cao, launched a fierce attack directly on the Yuan Shu army that invaded Yanzhou, and won three battles and three victories within ten days, almost driving all the 30,000 Yuan Shu troops out of Yanzhou. Without waiting for the angry Yuan Shu to retaliate, the Bohai Navy drove straight into the army with a great victory, all the way into Yuan Shu's territory Ruyang County, and successively captured the pass and beheaded the generals. The Bohai Navy's big move not only attracted the attention of the princes of the world, but also frightened Yuan Shu, because he suddenly found that he seemed to be under the siege of Nanying and Cao Cao on both sides, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, who originally thought that they could contain Nanying, did not move at all, but frequently mobilized troops in Youzhou, and there was a great tendency to fight each other.
Yuan Shu quickly sent an envoy to Tao Qian in Xuzhou, asking for coordinated operations to disperse the offensive of the Bohai Navy. However, he didn't expect that at the junction of Qingxu and Xu, a Bohai Navy had already assembled and stood by, and Tao Qian was so hard that he couldn't move.
Yuan Shu asked Liu Biao in Jingzhou for help, and Liu Biao also lacked skills due to Sun Ce's increasingly urgent offensive, so he simply replied to Yuan Shu.
Half of the Han Dynasty is covered with war clouds, and more princes are secretly clapping their hands, while sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, while actively preparing for the war, sharpening their knives for the next annexation battle.
No one thought that the large-scale battle with the Battle of Yanzhou as the flashpoint was nothing more than a smokescreen attack.
The Bohai Navy, which had been secretly accumulating strength for several years, was planning an unprecedented large-scale attack, and the 50,000 troops were moving in separate ways, among which the most elite 15,000 soldiers and horses were under the direct command of Nanying, under the cover of borrowing troops from Yanzhou, along the line of Dongjun, Jiyin, Chenliu, and Yingchuan, all the way west, and the front of the troops was directed at Nanyang, the northernmost part of Jingzhou. Once this strategic goal is achieved, the Bohai Navy will complete the first victorious rendezvous with the Eagle's Nest Army, and there will be no hindrance from west to east.
