"Report to the marshal, Fu Ying and Liu Zhan can't withdraw."

After a day and a night of fighting, he was exhausted, and planned to rest, but the enemy commander Tang Yan did not agree, and when he saw the Liang army retreating, he led his troops to counterattack, surrounded Liu Zhan and Fu Ying, and wanted to annihilate them. 60,000 men surrounded the two incomplete divisions, and the battle was in full swing.

Although it was a plain battle, the battle of more than 200,000 people was not in a battlefield, the enemy troops were stationed in three villages, in the shape of a zigzag, and Liu Zhan and Fu Huan's troops were in an awkward position between the villages.

"Since he doesn't want to rest, then don't rest. Let Tang Hu gallop to support Liu Zhan and Fu Ying, and the rest of the troops will rest for a while before entering the battle group. Tang Yuandao pointed to the sand table and said, "I hope he can kill it, so that he can fight more happily." ”

——

Chen Bao separated the three divisions, let Zhao Guangxun go to Changge, let You Gaoyi go to Yanling, and he himself led his troops into Xuchang.

Xuchang is adjacent to Xuzhou City, and in the early years it was also a place where soldiers must fight, but now it is as desolate as a barren hill, and it is also a ruin when there is no war, and it looks as desolate as a cemetery when it fights.

The Great Liang Dynasty fought for many years, and the population loss was very serious, and there were more people who starved to death than those who fled, and less than half of those who escaped survived.

Looking at the devastated ancient city, Chen Bao sighed with emotion.

"We're holding back the enemy 150,000 right here. Oh, and of course, they probably don't have 150,000 yet. They have been under lockdown for many days, and it is estimated that there will always be losses. Chen Bao sat on a big stone and said to the generals beside him: "Don't be afraid, we don't have to eliminate Hong Mingshan when we block Hong Mingshan, this city is dilapidated, we can't hold it at all, we just delay time." In addition, I also think that we don't need to stay in the city, otherwise we will be surrounded by enemy troops and will not even have a chance to escape. The city looks more like a coffin. ”

Before Chen Bao's words were finished, a scout came to report: "The vanguard of the enemy army, Meng Gong and Meng Liang, led 20,000 people, and they are already less than thirty miles away from the city. The speed is very fast, and it is estimated that it will take less than half an hour to reach the city. ”

Chen Bao stroked his ink hair lightly and said, "The speed is fast enough, since they are 20,000 people, let's not fight them head-on." On the way here, I watched the water rise sharply, so it was better to lie in ambush on the side of the riverbank, wait for the enemy army to be half a degree, and intercept and kill it. In addition, inform Zhao Guangxun that don't stay in Changge City, let's block the south of Weishui together, which is a good strategy. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Order You Gaoyi to stick to Yanling City to prevent the enemy from crossing the river and being frustrated, and detour to the east." ”

——

Tang Yuan personally led the team to rescue Fu Ying and Liu Zhan, but found that the two of them were too deep and couldn't kill them for a while.

Tang Yan relied on the equipment advantage of the Southern Jin Dynasty to form a 10,000-strong crossbow team, and a burst of strafing on the way overturned countless Liang troops, causing heavy losses to the Liang army's rescue troops

Fortunately, this is a large-scale operation, and being ambushed by a brigade will not affect the morale of the whole army, and before the news spreads, Tang Yuan handed over the handsome banner to the chief army Qi Cheng, and he took a thousand archers and cavalry, rushed behind the enemy, and unexpectedly found Tang Yan's banner.

"I didn't expect this kid to be quite fierce, and he was ambushed on the side of the road with a crossbowman."

Tang Yuan pointed to the enemy's marshal flag and said, "Rush over!" "Sissy

When Tang Yuan came up, he had also been discovered by the enemy, within the firing range, the two sides raised their bows and crossbows and fired indiscriminately, arrows flew in the sky, and seeing that someone around him was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, with the advantage of the fast speed of the archers, in less than a quarter of an hour, they rushed to the hinterland of the enemy army and went straight to Tang Yan's chariot.

Seeing that the enemy army was brave, Tang Yan hurriedly hid in the chariot, did not show his head, but kept waving the battle flag, and ordered his subordinates to surround this cavalry and shoot them with arrows.

When Tang Yuan led the team around the rear, he had already ordered the frontal troops, once the enemy's bows and arrows were weak, it would definitely be fought in the rear, you must not hesitate, all charge, this 10,000-strong crossbow team will inevitably be crushed with one blow.

Qi Cheng and Zhao Chi were worried that Tang Yuan would be killed by random arrows, but Tang Yuan laughed, patted the armor on his body and said, Three layers of armor, one of which is the golden silk soft armor given to me by the queen, I have tried it, unless I have a crossbow of three hundred steps, I can't shoot through.

Bragging, definitely bragging.

A three-hundred-step crossbow can stone people to death even if it can't shoot through the armor.

However, Qi Cheng and Zhao Chi couldn't keep Tang Yuan, and seeing that the support troops couldn't rush up, they could only stare at it in a hurry, and at the critical moment, it was the marshal who went out in person, and the thousand people brought by Tang Yuan, of which five hundred were Nalan Xin's male cavalry, and the cavalry captain Nahetutu had been promoted to an eight-rank archer, and there were almost no arrows within the range.

The distance was close, retracted the bow and crossbow, pulled out the full moon scimitar, and these five hundred people rushed into the formation, it was like a tiger entering a flock, and corpses were everywhere they went.

Why are the archers of the male Jia people so powerful, Tang Yuan also discussed with Nalan Xin, this is related to the living habits and dietary structure of the male Jia people, they rode horses and archery when they were seven or eight years old, drank milk and ate meat, and what were the Han people doing when they were young? What to eat?

Take Tang Yuan as an example, pulling weeds in the field; fighting with children from neighboring villages by the river; digging traps in the mountains and trapping beasts; Took Chen Bao and Tang Hu to the landlord's house to steal chickens, stole chickens, and was beaten, one of which was the grandfather of Hu Orchid, who chased out a mile with a cane, and the old chicken * lamp was not too tired. The family is poor, and the meat they eat every month is counted, and if the court does not collect military rations, the whole family will starve. People who grew up in this environment are really inferior to the horseback nation in terms of physical strength, riding, and archery.

When Tang Yuan rushed to the vicinity of Tang Yan's chariot, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the frontal troops of the Liang army were too slow, although they were also charging, but when they rushed over, this point of archers was also gone.

How good is that?

Tang Yan saw that Tang Yuan didn't dare to rush, so he came out, a little far away, and he couldn't hear what he was shouting, only to see the heralds next to him running around, not knowing what order was conveyed.

Tang Yuan thought to himself: I can't wait for the enemy army to react, since I rushed here, I just let it go.

"Nahetutu, follow me, rush over, kill Tang Yan!"

The male cavalry fought stubbornly, the main general was killed in battle, and the centurion was able to continue to complete the task with his troops. This is something that no other force can do except the male army. If the soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty were as tenacious and united as the male Jia people, Luoyang City would have been taken by Yue Ting by now.

Arrows are flying, and people are turning on their backs.

There were less than five hundred people around Tang Yuan, and they rushed towards Tang Yan in a group, only to hear the sound of ping-pong puff in their ears, a burst of smoke and dust kicked up, and the entire team was like a sharp sword, piercing the heart of the enemy.
