Chapter 558: Defeat Zhang He's Iron Cavalry
However, it was said that Yuan Shao led 30,000 Jizhou soldiers from Jixian County to attack the intelligence of Jiacheng, which had already been detected in advance by the Liangzhou army's reconnaissance horses. However, Yuan Shao, Guo Tu and others, the scouts of the Jizhou army, were completely unaware.
According to the information from the Liangzhou army, Li Mu discussed with Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Ma, Dian Wei and others, and then decided...... Leave the dragon cavalry, the infantry of the Canglong Legion, the Lion Legion, and the Tiger Wing Legion to garrison Huojia City to guard against the siege of the Jizhou army. At the same time, Ma, Dian Wei, Pang De, and Zhao Feng led the Vermilion Bird Cavalry, the Lion Legion, and the Tiger Wing Legion, a total of 20,000 people, to set up an ambush on the east bank of Qingshui.
After some deliberation, Li Mu and the others' plan was......
At first, the Liangzhou Army's powerful stone carts, bed crossbows, armor-piercing crossbows, repeating crossbows and other sharp weapons to defend the city were used to shoot the living force of the Jizhou Army to the greatest extent, and to suppress the morale and military spirit of the Jizhou Army as much as possible.
Then, after the Jizhou army's siege was frustrated...... When the army was physically and mentally tired and had no fighting spirit, he was ready to withdraw his troops back to Ji County. The Liangzhou army took advantage of the situation to go out of the city again, and used the method of agitation to anger Yuan Shao, the commander of the Jizhou army, and forced him to send Wen Chou...... Fight with Zhao Yunlai, the number one general of the Liangzhou Army.
Li Mu is naturally very sure that Zhao Yun will be able to defeat Wen Chou, even if he can't kill Wen Chou, if he can defeat him completely, he can also suppress the morale and military spirit of the Jizhou army to the greatest extent.
In the end, after the defeat of Wenchou, the whole county of the Jizhou army collapsed and retreated to Jixian County...... When passing through the Qingshui line, Ma, Dian Wei and others who were ambushed here could just lead their troops to kill by surprise, and the defeated soldiers of the Jizhou army were caught off guard. At the same time, with the dragon cavalry chasing after the Ouroboros, all the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Jizhou army can be wiped out on the Qingshui line.
To Li Mu, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others, they were very pleased that the ambush troops on the east bank of Qingshui who did not need horses and Dian Wei at all, Long Xiang Cavalry had already killed the only 8,000 defeated soldiers left in the Jizhou army.
Li Mu originally thought that when he, Zhao Yun, Fu Yan, and Ma Tie led the dragon to the shore of Qingshui. Ma, Dian Wei and his party had already captured Yuan Shao and his party.
What Li Mu never expected was that when he led the Long Xiang cavalry to the west bank of Qingshui, Ma and Dian Wei were taking the 20,000 iron cavalry of the Liangzhou army and the infantry of the Jizhou army...... Scuffle in the open space on the east bank of the clear water.
I saw it...... The situation on the battlefield on the east bank of Qingshui was only for a moment, and Li Mu knew it in his heart...... This Jizhou army infantry cavalry should be Yuan army reinforcements from Ji County, who came to meet Yuan Shao and his party.
Seeing that the iron cavalry of the Liangzhou Army on the east bank of Qingshui was already in the upper hand, cutting and splitting the Jizhou Army in the battlefield, Li Mu was overjoyed.
Fighter planes are fleeting! Immediately, Li Mushuai led the dragon horseman, with the momentum of thunder, with a thunderous momentum, jumped over the Qingshui pontoon bridge, and rushed to the defeated soldiers of the Jizhou army.
……
As Li Mu expected, the Jizhou army on the east bank of Qingshui was the Yuan army reinforcement from Ji County. It turned out that the judges, Fu Zhu, Zhang He, Lu Weihuang and others stationed in Ji County also received ...... The lord of his own family was frustrated by the intelligence of the city of Jiacheng and the loss of his soldiers.
Hearing such shocking news, the six people of Trial, Frustration, Zhang He, Lu Weihuang, Han Meng, and Han Juzi were already shocked in their hearts. In the face of such an extremely urgent situation, it is definitely necessary to send reinforcements from Ji County to rescue Yuan Shao, Guo Tu, Xu You and his party.
Saving people is like fighting fire, not to mention ...... The person they want to save is their lord, Yuan Benchu, the commander of the entire Jizhou army.
Time waits for no one, and at this time, I dare not delay at all! Immediately, the six people of trial, frustration, and Zhang He discussed and decided...... Let Zhang He, Lu Weihuang, and Han Juzi take the 10,000 foot cavalry of Jixian County to rush to the aid of the main force of the Jizhou Army attacking Huojiacheng.
Besides, when Zhang He, Lu Weihuang, and Han Juzi hurried and rushed to the east bank of Qingshui with their troops, they ran into ...... Yuan Shao, Liyi, Guo Tu, Xu You, and Xin Ping fled in a panic. At this time, Yuan Shao's side, in addition to the four people of Liyi and Guo Tu, there were only less than 100 personal guards left. Yuan Shao, Lu Yi, Xu You and his entourage were all embarrassed and embarrassed to lose their armor.
I saw it...... The reinforcements led by Zhang He and the three of them came, and the frightened Yuan Shao and Liyi and their party calmed down a little.
At this time, Yuan Shao knew in his heart that the heavy iron cavalry of the Liangzhou Army was behind him, and it could be pursued at any time. Yuan Shao was still frightened and panicked, and he didn't dare to stay, so he immediately passed down a military order, ordering the army to withdraw to Ji County quickly.
However, just as the Jizhou army was preparing to retreat...... Suddenly, on the north and south sides of the east bank of Qingshui, there was an earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves.
In just an instant, Yuan Shao, Liyi and his party, who were already in shock, were already shocked; Han Juzi and Lu Weihuang were also shocked. At this time, in the Jizhou army, Zhang He was the only one who was truly calm.
Yuan Shao had long been frightened by the Liangzhou army, at this time, he just wanted to survive, he just wanted to return to Ji County alive. The four people who had witnessed the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou Army, including Lu Yi, Guo Tu, Xu You, and Xin Ping, had long been broken, and at this time, they didn't know how to deal with the iron cavalry of the Liangzhou Army.
Just when Yuan Shao, Liyi and his entourage were preparing to ride their horses and flee for their lives, Zhang He hurriedly offered advice...... can let 2,000 light cavalry of the Jizhou army first escort Yuan Shao, Guo Tu, Xu You, and Xin Ping, and withdraw to Jixian County; He was the same as Liyi, Han Juzi, and Lu Weihuang, with 8,000 infantry, desperately blocking the Liangzhou army and delaying the pursuit of the enemy's iron cavalry.
Yuan Shao's heart was already in a mess, and he hurriedly agreed to Zhang He's words, and then beckoned the two thousand light cavalry and rushed in the direction of Ji County. Koji Yi has long become a lost dog, how could he stay here, immediately, he was mixed with the light cavalry of the Jizhou army and fled to Ji County.
In fact, Zhang He knew in his heart that fighting cavalry with infantry was self-defeating. However, at the moment, it is more important to protect Yuan Shao's life. Zhang He, together with the 8,000 infantry left behind, was determined to die.
It's just a few tens of breaths, not waiting for the infantry of the Jizhou Army...... Lined up in formation to meet the enemy, the Vermilion Bird Cavalry, the elite cavalry of the Lion Legion and the Tiger Wing Legion were already galloping horses.
In an instant, the 20,000 iron cavalry of the Liangzhou Army had already burst into the formation and came out through the formation. Wherever the 20,000 iron horsemen passed, the corpses were strewn all over the field. Lu Weihuang and Han Juzi had already died in the chaos.
At this time, only Zhang He, with less than 3,000 Jizhou army infantry, was making the last dying struggle.
