Chapter 27: The Decisive Battle (3)

Zhang Chun is a decisive figure, otherwise it would be impossible to gather the remnants of the army to continue to resist after Zhang Jushen hid, let alone force Gongsun Zan into a desperate situation. He didn't know why Gongsun Chan suddenly turned to the east, and even wondered if it was some trick played by the other party, but he quickly made up his mind.

Those Hu people will die if they die, and they must not let Gongsun Chan go! As long as the two pontoon bridges on the river are broken, no matter how many reinforcements there are from the officers and soldiers, they will not be able to kill this side. As long as you kill Gongsun Zhan..........

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Chun immediately gave a loud order, allowing the soldiers to bypass the chaotic battlefield and chase after Gongsun Zhan's army.

Previously, Gongsun Zhan's troops were arrayed outside the west gate, and Zhang Chun thought that he was going to advance from east to west, so he drew part of the troops in the camp in the east. When Gongsun Zhan's troops suddenly advanced eastward, the battalion was short of troops, and a camp was soon breached. Just as Gongsun Chan was about to let the army rush out from here, Yan Gang suddenly rode over.

The horse's back was covered with mud, and Yan Gang also seemed to have just rolled in the mud, he jumped off the horse's back and said hurriedly: "Lord, the enemy's army on the other side of the river has been defeated!" ”

Gongsun Zhan's footsteps suddenly froze, he was silent for a while, and when Yan Gang was in a hurry, he spoke: "You said that the rebel army on the other side of the river was defeated?" Tian Yu only has a thousand people in his hands, how can he do it? ”

Yan Gang said quickly: "Maybe he concealed the number of reinforcements, maybe the rebels had infighting, no matter what, half of the rebels' strength is finished!" ”

Gongsun Zhan's eyes rose with joy, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled, "Say so........"

Yan Gang said loudly: "We should immediately turn around and fight the rebels to the death!" ”

Guan Jing ran over from a distance, his sleeves covered with mud spots. As soon as he came over, he asked urgently, "My lord, why don't you leave?" The rebels have caught up! ”

Gongsun Chan took a deep breath and said loudly, "We're not leaving!" Beat the drums, and we'll fight the thieves to the death! ”

Guan Jing said in shock: "What? ”

He hurriedly grabbed Gongsun Zhan's sleeve and said, "Lord, don't do it!" ”

Gongsun Chan pushed the switch and walked backwards in great strides. Guan Jing was pushed to the ground and shouted to Yan Gang, who was left behind: "General Yan, you quickly persuade the lord, don't fight in vain!" ”

Yan Gang walked over, helped him up, and said, "Mr. Guan, you don't understand the things about the war. ”

The sound of drums and trumpets sounded in the newly breached camp, and then Gongsun Zhan's banner began to move towards the way it came. The heralds covered in mud ran wildly on the road, shouting: "The lord has an order, turn around and fight the thief to the death!" ”

The generals who were about to transfer were all stunned, didn't they say that they would move in a different direction? Why did it turn into a duel with the enemy again? Could it be ......... All this is the lord's strategy? Yes, definitely! It must have been Mr. Kwan's idea! It's really clever, if you want to deceive the enemy, you have to deceive yourself first!

The generals quickly adjusted their mentality, and commanded their soldiers and horses to turn around and prepare to fight the rebels. They can't do it if they don't turn around, Gongsun Zhan's headquarters blocked the broken camp. If they wanted to escape, they would have to move in a different direction, and they would be attacked by the soldiers in the other rebel camps, and maybe even beaten by the enraged Gongsun Zhan......

Moreover, they are all officers and soldiers, and they have a congenital psychological advantage over the rebels and the Hu people. If they go head-to-head, where will they lose? Previously, because of the large number of horses killed, the infantry could not defeat the larger number of cavalry in the wilderness. But now the cavalry is useless, who is afraid of whom!

Gongsun Zhan's army leaned on the camp with his back in formation, which made Zhang Chun, who led the troops to chase after him, confused again. At first, he thought that Gongsun Chan was going to attack him with the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers, and then he thought that Gongsun Chan was trying to escape, but now he stopped and lined up to do what he was going to do?

Is it to see that you are going to be caught up, so you simply turn back to the decisive battle? Or was it calculated a long time ago?

Zhang Chun thought for a while with a hesitant face, but he really couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to. He shouted loudly, let his soldiers blow the horn, and commanded the Hu Han soldiers and horses under his command to pounce directly. As soon as Gongsun Zhan's army finished arraying, they saw the enemy pounce on them, and they immediately met them.

Fierce fighting broke out between the two sides immediately. Gongsun Chan had 15,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and his own troops and horses were pressed in the breached camp, and the remaining troops were divided into three parts: left, middle and right. Zhang Chun also divided his troops into three ways and rushed to kill them head-on.

Infantry battles between them were not as fancy, especially when bows and crossbows were not available in rainy days. Whoever has more troops and a tighter formation will be victorious. However, Zhang Chun's troops were larger, but Gongsun Zhan's troops were more rigorous.

The sound of the blades clashing, the dull sound of the human being chopped, the screams of the wounded, the sound of the soldiers shouting for battle........ Countless sounds intertwined and enveloped the land, forming a hell known as the battlefield. The mud was stained bright red with blood, and dark red by countless feet trampled on it.

The front line was constantly being crushed, and new forces were filled. Because the ground was full of mud, whether it was Zhang Chunjun's advance or Gongsun Zhan's counterattack, they would be pushed back after advancing for a certain distance. The fierce fighting lasted for a long time, and apart from the increasing casualties, neither side achieved any actual results.

When the rebels and Gongsun Zhan's army fought fiercely, Tian Yu's army had completely defeated the Wuhuan army. Countless people fled from the camp and fled to the north. From Qiu Liju down, everyone has the same beliefs. As long as you cross the Yanshan Mountain Range, you will return to your hometown when you get outside.

When they arrived on the grassland, the Han people had no way to take them. Even if the Han army can be strong for a while, it can only leave in the end. is as strong as Gongsun Zhan, hasn't he suffered a defeat on the grassland?

The wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, his shoulder blade was shattered into several pieces, and after hastily bandaging it, he hurriedly fled from the place where he was sad with his henchmen.

"We are Wuhuan people, so we should live on the grassland!" He said to himself: "That damn Zhang Chun, it's best to die with Gongsun Zhan!" ”

After defeating the army of Wuhuan people, except for Chen Cheng, who was still in high spirits, all the others were already tired and didn't want to move. Even Wei Ran and them, although they can continue to fight, they are psychologically tired after cutting so many people and running so far. Now that the enemy had fled, their spirits had slackened, and they lay down on the ground, not wanting to get up any more.

Chen Cheng took an axe around the river, and saw that the river was turbulent and the original pontoon bridge had been destroyed. Even if the soldiers were able to fight, there were no boats or bridges to cross the river. No one could have expected that there would be a sudden rainstorm, and after the river rose so high, he would be able to swim across it himself, but what about after it passed? Do you want to play a thousand again?

The organization and morale of the Hu people are incomparable to the rebels, and he can lead people to break through the battle formation of the Wuhuan people, but there is no way to defeat the rebels alone. Not to mention........ He looked at the little blood he had left, shook his head, and said to himself, "Gongsun Zhan, you can ask for more blessings for yourself!" ”

Back in the camp, Tian Yu struggled to stand up and asked, "Can you go over?" ”

Chen Cheng pressed him back to the ground and said, "Don't be reckless, if you don't rest for an hour or two, the soldiers will not be able to continue fighting." But in half an hour, it will be dark. We have defeated the enemy on this side, which is considered to have exceeded the task, and the rest will be handed over to General Zhonglang, you should have more confidence in him. ”

Tian Yu struggled for a while, but the muscles on his body were so sore that he could only lie back helplessly. He snorted a few times and asked, "How's the battle on the other side of the river?" ”

"Okay."

Tian Yu asked, "What does it mean to be okay?" ”

Chen Cheng said unhurriedly: "It's okay, but it's not good." ”

“..........”

"You don't have to worry, I just found a high place to take a look, General Zhonglang and the rebels have been fighting for a long time, and each side has not been able to help each other, and they have already collected their troops."

"Yikes!" Tian Yu slapped his thigh, and then screamed in pain, he said regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity, if we can cross the river and attack from behind the rebels, we can finish the battle!" ”

"Haha," Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Where in the world are there so many good things?" It's a fluke that we can win, so don't expect too much. ”

Tian Yu sighed: "The opportunity is rare, the rebels are on guard, and it will not be so easy to eliminate them in the future." ”

Chen Cheng said in his heart: It would be good if Gongsun Chan was not eliminated, and he would also destroy the rebels?

After resting for a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the camp, and a group of Wuhuan people approached. Chen Cheng saw that the other party showed a green dot, so he didn't call anyone else, but walked out with an axe himself, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

One of the Wuhuan people outside came out and said a lot to Chen Cheng, but he didn't understand it at all. He hurriedly gestured and said, "You wait first." ”

Then, he turned around and called Ding Yuan out. After the Wuhuan people began to flee, Ding Yuan persuaded several rebel-guarded camps to surrender one after another, and took his own parents and brothers to the largest camp. Seeing Chen Cheng calling him, he followed him out.

He can speak some of the languages of the Hu people, regardless of whether he is a Wuhuan or a Xianbei Xiongnu. Ding Yuan muttered a few words to the Wuhuan people outside, then turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, this person you said his name is Jin Sanhuan, and he is the leader of a Wuhuan tribe who admires your martial arts and wants to take refuge in him. ”

"Huh?" Chen Cheng pointed to his own nose and asked, "Isn't that mistaken?" I'm not a Wuhuan person, what are they doing with me? ”

Ding Yuan was also unsure, and said a few more words to Jin Sanhuan, and then said affirmatively: "That's right." Jin Sanhuan said that the people on their grassland only recognize the strong, no matter who they are. He said that General Shenweitian was the strongest warrior he knew, and of course he was going to take refuge in him. ”

After finishing speaking, he added, "Jin Sanhuan also said that they brought more than 5,000 sheep and horses, which can be given to you in full. ”

Chen Cheng pondered for a while, this matter doesn't seem to be impossible.
