Chapter 219: A Different Way
After listening to Zhu Qing's words, Zhang Shumo's heart was full of ups and downs, and he was completely bottomless. Now that Huaiguo's army has been invested in the south to resist Zheng Guo, there are only 50,000 Eastern Route Army in Jiyuan County, and I am afraid that it will not be able to resist the Yan Army at all, and I don't know if the Eastern Route Army knows this news.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo immediately thought about Zhu Qing and asked, "Did you see the Eastern Route Army make any moves when you came back?" ”
Zhu Qing nodded immediately when he heard this: "The Eastern Route Army should have gotten the news, they are now investigating the people on the border very closely, and I was stopped by them when I came back with the horses, and finally let me back with the silver." ”
Zhang Shumo was a little relieved, now that the Eastern Route Army got the news, he should be prepared, he still cares about the situation in the northwest, if the northwest is calmed down, the pressure on his father should be much less.
After that, Zhang Shumo chatted with Zhu Qing about buying and selling, since the price of grain in Yan Country is cheap, he can buy more. Now that we are worried about internal and external troubles, I am afraid that more people will be displaced in the future, and the price of grain will rise in the future.
Zhu Qing is very good at buying and selling, and Zhang Shumo is relieved to hand over to him with full authority.
On the other side, Pang Yuan's excitement about taking over 3,000 horses was overflowing, and without saying a word, he selected 3,000 people from the army and began to train their horsemanship, and the more than 200 cavalrymen who originally followed him were also assigned to these 3,000 people to take up different positions because of their experience.
Jiang Bin was very greedy for these war horses, so he wanted to ask Pang Yuan for two, so he took the initiative to go to Pang Yuan's camp to get close. Jiang Bin was talking to Pang Yuan, but his eyes were always staring at the horses.
Pang Yuan saw his thoughts at a glance, so he deliberately went around with Jiang Bin, as soon as he mentioned the war horse Pang Yuan, he immediately changed the topic, and Jiang Bin stomped his feet.
At this moment, wolf smoke rose from the sentry post not far away, and Geng Li came to harass again. Pang Yuan immediately turned over and got on the horse when he saw it: "Just try to see how the recruits are training!" Jiang Bin, you wait for me in the camp, I'll fight off the enemy and come to chat with you! ”
After speaking, Pang Yuan took more than 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry out of the camp.
Geng Li saw the wolf smoke floating not far away, and knew that there would be no gain this time, but he still routinely led people to rush over. But when he was about to approach the sentry, Geng Li suddenly found that there was also a group of cavalry rushing towards him on the opposite side.
Seeing this scene, Geng Li immediately stopped everyone, in the past, Geng Li relied on the speed advantage of the cavalry to fight and run, and never fought hard with the Wu Xiu army. But now that the other party also has cavalry, his speed advantage is gone, so he naturally has to be cautious.
Pang Yuan rushed to the sentry post with the cavalry, and found that Geng Li and his men and horses had stopped, so he also ordered people to wait in place, and after a while, the five thousand infantry also rushed over.
At this time, Geng Li saw the number of Pang Yuan's cavalry, and found that the other party only had a few thousand cavalry, and Geng Li moved his crooked thoughts! Although the infantry of the Wu Xiu Army can't fight hard with them after they form a formation, the opponent's cavalry can try it by themselves. As long as you lure the opposing cavalry away from the infantry phalanx, you might be able to eat them in one bite!
So, Geng Li immediately ordered his subordinates to bypass the Wu Xiu Army from one side and charge behind the other party.
Pang Yuan narrowed his eyes when he saw the other party's movements, in the past, when the cavalry of Jingguo encountered his own phalanx, they would charge around one side, either to the left or to the right, how could he spare a circle today and run behind him, is this a deliberate provocation when he saw that he also had cavalry?
"Damn!" Pang Yuan couldn't help but scold, although he was very unhappy with the provocative behavior of the local area, he didn't dare to let his cavalry catch up. The first is that the number of cavalry on his side is too small, and the second is that these people are basically new soldiers, and Pang Yuan has no confidence in his heart.
So Pang Yuan had no choice but to hold back his anger and order: "The infantry pursues the enemy in a square formation, and the cavalry follows behind the infantry to protect the flanks. ”
Geng Li led his men and horses to completely bypass the Wu Xiu army, but he found that the other party did not dare to use cavalry to pursue, and he felt a little disappointed. I was about to harass him and go back, but he heard a report from the soldiers in front: "Report to the general, the enemy camp was found in the front, and there were only about 2,000 people." ”
"Only two thousand?" Geng Li said as he looked at the Wu Xiujun who was slowly chasing behind him: "Pass my order, attack the enemy camp, remember not to fall in love with the battle, and run away if you kill someone!" ”
The Jingguo cavalry received Geng Li's order and immediately rushed towards Pang Yuan's camp.
At this time, Jiang Bin was still thinking about how to ask Pang Yuan for a war horse, and suddenly heard a movement not far away and immediately felt that something was wrong. Uncle Pang, they haven't been gone for a long time, so they shouldn't have come back so soon, and there are definitely a lot of people moving so much!
Thinking of this, Jiang Bin immediately shouted to the soldiers in the battalion: "Beware of enemy attacks!" After saying that, he also turned over and got on the horse.
The soldiers in the camp immediately raised their weapons and gathered at the gate of the camp. In a short time, the Jingguo cavalry had already arrived.
The Jingguo cavalry did not slow down in the face of the obstacles in front of the camp, and many soldiers with superb riding skills rode directly over the obstacles and entered the camp, and Wu Xiujun immediately raised his halberd to greet the opponent's cavalry.
Seeing this, Jiang Bin picked up a halberd and smashed into the enemy's army, fighting with the enemy. But the number of Jingguo's cavalry was too much, and in the face of the huge numerical disadvantage, many Wu Xiu troops fell to the ground, and others began to retreat in a hurry. Jiang Bin knew that no one would survive if he retreated at this time, so he yelled at Wu Xiujun: "Column a circular formation, no one is allowed to retreat, otherwise it will be decided!" ”
Wu Xiujun immediately formed a circular formation when he heard Jiang Bin's command, and although he was surrounded by the Jingguo cavalry, he was frozen together. But Jiang Bin was not so lucky, and the Jingguo cavalry saw Jiang Bin alone and killed him.
At this time, Pang Yuan finally arrived with his soldiers, and when he saw the scene in front of him, Pang Yuan yelled at Geng Li: "Geng Li! I swear to kill you! After saying that, he rushed into the enemy formation first, and rushed all the way towards Geng Li.
Geng Li had no intention of fighting, and ran away with his subordinates: "Retreat, retreat!" ”
Pang Yuan knew that Geng Li was frightened by his own momentum, and it was unpredictable to win or lose when he really fought, so he didn't dare to pursue, and immediately took his men to take care of the wounded and clean up the battlefield.
Seeing Jiang Bin covered in blood, Pang Yuan didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for this incident, go back and pick two good horses, it's a little bit of my heart." ”
Jiang Bin immediately laughed when he heard this: "Thank you, Uncle Pang!" ”
After cleaning up the battlefield, Pang Yuan immediately went to see Zhang Shumo and reported the situation of the battle to Zhang Shumo.
"It's all to blame for the carelessness of the subordinates, let the Jingguo cavalry grab an opportunity with the speed advantage, and ask the son to punish him!"
After listening to Pang Yuan's words, Zhang Shumo not only did not punish him, but showed a strange smile: "It turns out that the battle can still be fought like this?" In this way, it is possible to create a situation where there are more local battles and fewer fights. ”
