Chapter 597: Wen Chou Dies
Yan Liang's previous escape with the army naturally could not be purposeless. If you simply escape, knowing that the speed of your iron cavalry will definitely be inferior to Gongsun Zhan, wouldn't it be better to stop and reorganize your troops and horses and rest for a while. The direction in which Yan Liang fled was the direction where Wen Chou was, and they all knew that only by joining forces could they have the strength to fight with Gongsun Zhan, otherwise they would only be broken by Gongsun Chan.
As Gongsun Zhan's army continued to slaughter Yan Liang's army, Wen Chou was also leading the army to keep approaching. Seeing that Yan Liang was deeply trapped in the enemy army, his body was covered with scars and blood, Wen Chou, who was like a brother with him, was almost stunned, and led the army madly.
Gongsun Zhan looked at Wen Chou who was charging and sneered: "It's just right to come, this time I will clean up your two brothers together." ”
Then he did not stop the slaughter of the army, but only transferred 10,000 iron horsemen from it, reorganized the formation and prepared to meet the enemy, and the rest of the army continued to slaughter. And Yan Liang also saw Wen Chou's reinforcements, and shouted while fighting hard: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!" ”
At times like these, nothing is as useful as a phrase "reinforcements are coming." As soon as these words came out, Yan Liang's army, which was constantly slaughtered, looked at the reinforcements rushing in the distance, and instantly boosted their morale again and aroused their desire for life. Seeing hope in the desperate situation, they burst out with amazing strength, and directly contained the situation in an instant, and they were equal to Gongsun Zhan's back and forth. But soon, Gongsun Zhan's army relied on its own strength and mutual tacit cooperation, and once again pressed the former into the upper hand.
Yan Liang fought hard in front of him alone, and his heart was full of shock. I don't know how many enemies have fallen in front of him, at least more than three hundred, and he is in such a crazy state now, if the ordinary army does not collapse at this time, but at least he will be afraid and dare not step forward. But Gongsun Zhan's army didn't seem to see his terrifying appearance and was not afraid of life and death, and did not retreat at all, constantly cooperating with the attack on him, and every time three or five people attacked from all sides at the same time, so that he continued to add scars to his body.
Gongsun Zhan's will to fight iron shocked Yan Liangdu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but it was precisely because of this that he became more and more violent. Every time the scars on his body were added, his momentum increased by one point, and now his momentum was approaching the limit of a first-class peak martial artist, and he was faintly about to brew a more terrifying aura.
"Big brother, don't panic, little brother is here!"
Wen Chou rode his horse like a fly, and quickly rushed to the vicinity, shouting loudly.
On the side, Gongsun Zhan's 10,000 iron cavalry had already been arrayed, ready to attack at any time.
"Camp!" Gongsun Chan is still these two bland words.
This is one of Gongsun Chan's favorite words. Camping originally meant stealing camps and sneak attacks, but Gongsun Chan didn't understand it that way. Horses stepping on the joint venture, indomitable, invincible, this is the so-called camp of Gongsun Zhan.
Ten thousand horses galloped, and the two armies collided. This time, Gongsun Chan is not facing Yan Liang, who has experienced a vicious battle and has lost half of his losses and is not in good shape, but Wen Chou, who has been recuperating for a long time and has a neat array.
"Assault of the whole army!" Wen Chou stabbed out with a spear in his hand, and then shouted.
If Yan Liang's leading style is indomitable, like a big knife that looks at the world, then Wen Chou's leading style is sharp and cold, like a spear, turning into a poisonous snake that may bite you at any time.
Wen Chou did not choose to go toe-to-toe with Gongsun Zhan, because there was indeed a gap between the two sides. Although he led 20,000 iron horsemen and Gongsun Zhan only had 10,000, Wen Chou still had little chance of winning. The gap between the cavalry and the cavalry is far greater than the gap between the infantry and the infantry, just like the mutual rush between Yan Liang and Gongsun Chan before, it is directly one-sided, except for Yan Liang, the tip of the spear is still strong, and the other soldiers are directly charged by Gongsun Chan and retreat again and again.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou have different personalities, Yan Liang is reckless, but Wen Chou is too cautious, and they both died in the hands of Guan Yu, Yan Liang didn't pay attention because of arrogance, and Wen Chou wanted to avoid his edge because he was cowardly. The two top generals were both because of their character flaws, so they were wiped out by Guan Erye Liwei. You must know that Yan Liang has defeated Xu Huang in 20 times, and Wen Chou is even more in 50 ways with Zhao Yun, who has just come out of the mountain, and shot back Zhang Liao without winning or losing.
Wen Chou led his army to avoid the edge of Gongsun Zhan's army and launched an attack on the left flank of Gongsun Zhan's army. He knows very well that his biggest advantage is that he has a large number of troops, and he may not be able to beat the other side by hard against hard, and although the mutual explosion is to injure the enemy by 800 and lose 1,000, it can bring the battle damage closer, as long as it is less than 1 to 2, he will earn.
Gongsun Chan saw the other party's thoughts at a glance, sneered in his heart, and did not explode each other as Wen Chou wished, but led the army to attack the right side, wanting to cut off Wen Chou's cavalry from the middle, so that they could not care about each other.
Wen Chou was horrified when he saw this, and in desperation, he wanted to return a tooth for a tooth and see a move, and he also led the army to charge to the right, cutting off his army in the same way as Gongsun Zhan did.
But the tricks are the same, the people who use them are different, and the results are very different. Gongsun Zhan's cavalry were all experienced, experienced and iron-willed, well aware of the importance of coherence when charging, coupled with excellent equestrian skills, the gap between the soldiers and soldiers was very small, and the cooperation was full of tacit understanding. Wen Chou's army wanted to cut it off, but they couldn't do it. Although under the bravery of Wen Chou himself, he barely broke through to most of it, and there were some signs, but soon the army behind Gongsun Zhan flicked his tail with a light left swing, and his hard work was burned.
On the other side, Gongsun Zhan, with the elite bravery and tacit understanding of the soldiers, easily cut off the vanguard and the main force led by Wen Chou, turned into a rotating circle, and wrapped the thousands of pioneers led by Wen Chou in it. However, the remaining main force of more than 10,000 people of the Wenchou Army was unable to advance or retreat on the periphery without command.
Gongsun Zhan's ability to command the cavalry was indeed unparalleled in the world, and a series of actions that were improvised were like flowing water, quickly forcing the Wen Chou army, which had the advantage of strength and the difference in combat strength, into danger.
"Damn!" Fearful for a moment, self-defeating, Wen Chou shouted angrily in his heart. Knowing this, he might as well hedge head-on, even if he loses, it will be a pity, and Gongsun Chan will not be able to win much if he wins with an army of 10,000. But he wanted to use this small means to reduce losses and even win, but he was forced to advance and retreat by Gongsun Zhan's backhand.
But the situation is already such that it is too late to take regret medicine. Wen Chou completely let go of the calculations in his heart, he understood that when it came to the combat ability of the cavalry, ten of them together were not Gongsun Zhan's opponents. Fighting tactics is completely self-inflicted, and only hard work can have the possibility of victory.
Wen Chou, who thought about this clearly, immediately ignored it without hesitation, and directly led the army to break through directly in the direction of the main force outside Gongsun Zhan's encirclement.
However, cavalry combat has become an art in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, seeing Wen Chou's breakthrough, Gongsun Chan directly withdrew the cavalry blocking in front of him to both sides, and at the same time used the cavalry behind Wen Chou as the arrow, while constantly gathering the cavalry to his rear, while leading the army to charge towards Wen Chou, the situation suddenly changed from Gongsun Zhan's encirclement of Wen Chou's front army to a tail pursuit. All these changes took shape very smoothly in an instant, and Gongsun Zhan's control over the cavalry under his command can be seen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is waving his arms.
Looking at Gongsun Zhan who was charging behind him, Wen Chou only felt cold in his heart. At this time, there was no distance between the two sides, Gongsun Chan had already pursued him to the rear, and he had no chance or time to mobilize the army to turn back to meet him. In this case, if he turns around and returns to the army, the whole army will be in disarray, and the cavalry will not turn around like the infantry, and the horse will be far less obedient than the people. If the formation is chaotic, facing the army of Gongsun Chan who is charging towards him in a conical formation, he will be reduced to meat on the felt board and let him slaughter.
But if you don't look back, you will be chased and killed all the way, and the other party's marching speed is far better than your own, isn't this waiting for death? Wen Chou is once again in a dilemma.
On the other side, Tian Yu, who commanded the army to fight against Yan Liangjun, saw the situation on Wen Chou's side, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly. Do you really think that Gongsun Chan's white horse general was blown out? As long as he has an advantage in speed, he can be invincible, and Gongsun Chan is the person who can take advantage of the speed advantage of cavalry. It's just that he is usually proud and unwilling to take tricks, and you take the initiative to provoke him and play such a small trick with him, which is really deadly.
