Chapter 160: Frontal Battle
Fengxiao, what do you think of our chances of winning this battle? Zeng Yu looked at Guo Jia, who joined the battle with the army staff officers beside him.
Guo Jia already has a good understanding of the combat power of the Clothless Army, and is waiting and watching the Yellow Turban Army camp at this time, combined with the previous speculation, he also has a bottom in his heart.
"Our army is not lost to the eight divisions of Zuo Zhangzhang in all aspects, the Yellow Turban Army is known for its foot soldiers, and the same is true for our army, especially the Ruishi Battalion led by Wang, which will definitely be a famous and strong army in the world over time. In terms of numbers, the 3,000 soldiers of our army's archery battalion will lose the opportunity to participate in the battle after a close encounter, which leads to a slight advantage in the strength of the Yellow Turban Army. But our army is highly disciplined, and it is not comparable to a rabble like the Yellow Turban Army.
Generally speaking, the strength of the two sides is similar, the strength is equal, the lord, this is an evenly matched force battle, since we want to be the enemy to break the enemy, only need the commander of each battalion to make the soldiers always believe that this battle will be won, with this will, the final victory must be ours. ”
The two armies were also approaching, and when they reached the range of bows and arrows, they issued an order to shoot from Wu Shi's mouth. The soldiers of the Marksman Battalion all drew their bows upward, and with the sound of bowstrings vibrating, a rain of arrows rose from the unclothed army formation, and then fell into the front army formation of the Yellow Turban Army. Not to be outdone, the Yellow Turbans immediately returned fire. As for the foot soldiers of the front armies on both sides, they continued to advance with shields on their heads.
Approaching a certain range, there is no point in shooting. As a soldier of the Rui Shi Battalion of the front army, he can already see the spearmen of the Yellow Turban Army at the front on the opposite side. The sound of the war drums suddenly became urgent, and the distance between the two sides was constantly narrowing, narrowing.
"Thorn !!"
Wang Qing's voice was particularly loud at this time, and at this moment, the first spear pierced out of Wang Qing's array, burrowed into the gap between the two large shields on the opposite side, and pierced straight into the chest of a soldier on the opposite side.
"Ah!!h
A scream.
With this as the beginning, the violent collision between the two military formations began, and one by one the blood flowers bloomed, the spears pierced into the flesh, and then pulled out fiercely, taking away one fresh life after another.
There are people on top of this side who fall there, and there are people who fall on top of that side.
The spearmen on both sides were desperately stabbing, as long as they were not stabbed, as long as they could still stab out, they would keep stabbing.
While stabbing, he roared loudly, and used violent roars to increase his courage, strength, and chance of killing the other party. The foot soldiers of both sides collided with each other and fought each other in the long battle line, and the battle was extremely tragic.
However, the commanders of the Ruishi Battalion, Wang Qing and Xiang Zhi, are both strong martial artists, and the Yellow Turban Army has no generals who can stop them. Although the valor of an individual on the battlefield is not very lethal, it is especially important for boosting morale. It can be clearly seen that the soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion, under the leadership of Wang Qing and others, gradually stabilized the situation and advanced step by step.
On the other side, Zeng Yu ordered Pei Yuanshao's military battalion to also start attacking.
The attack of the Wushu battalion was very simple, they all had a large shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, and launched a savage charge directly from both flanks towards the connection point between the two armies in front and rear of the Yellow Turban Army.
Zuo Zhangba also saw this move of the martial arts battalion, but his front army had 10,000 horses, even if he faced Zeng Yu's Ruishi battalion and the martial arts battalion at the same time, the strength was not inferior to the other party. What's more, if the Wushu battalion dares to insert the connection between its two armies, it will inevitably receive a flank attack from the two armies in front and behind the Yellow Turban Army, which will be more beneficial to itself.
Thinking of this, Zuo Zhanghachi instead ordered the front army not to block the charge of the Wushu battalion and let them over. Then he ordered his rear army to move forward slowly, trying to eat the camp in one bite.
"Lord, it seems that Zuo Zhangba is planning to attack back and forth and leave the military battalion behind."
Zeng Yu looked from afar, and saw that the soldiers of the Wushu battalion on both wings were charging all the way, and they were not hindered too much, and quickly approached the connection point between the front army and the rear army of the Yellow Turban Army. But the rear army of the Yellow Turban Army is also advancing, as if a large encirclement was specially created for the Warrior Battalion, waiting for the Warrior Battalion to rush in.
Zeng Yu was not panicked about this, he knew that at this time, both he and Zuo Zhangba were thinking of outflanking the other party. If the Rui Shi Battalion defeats the Yellow Turban Army's front army first, then the Yellow Turban Army's encirclement of the Wushu Battalion will be self-defeating. What's more, he believed that the Warrior Battalion, as a shield for everyone, could completely resist the attack of an enemy twice as large as his own without being defeated.
The two sides eventually entered a state of full-scale hand-to-hand combat, and the center of the battle changed from one to two at once, and it looked even more fierce.
But if you look closely, Wang Qing and Xiang Zhi are galloping on the battlefield, and it is difficult to meet opponents. Wu Shi and Wu Ming, commanders of the shooter battalion, shot at the centurions and commanders of the Yellow Turban Army by name.
"It's a shame that I don't have any fierce generals who can stop the other party." Zuo Zhanghachi also saw this scene and said fiercely in the back.
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield has changed from a stalemate to a state of stalemate, it has slowly turned into an unfavorable one. Originally, his main force of 10,000 against the opponent's 5,000 front army had the upper hand at the beginning. However, the opposing front army used to be strong, and then two wings of foot soldiers attacked from behind. And his plan to outflank the two flanks of the opponent did not succeed, but allowed them to gain a firm foothold, and the front army completely lost contact with him.
Shohachi Zuo didn't have any more men and horses in his hands now. His army of 3,000 was fully engaged and was engaged in battle with the Wushu battalion. But the Wushu battalion is like a turtle box, after entering the battle, it maintains a defensive formation, even if the Yellow Turban Army is flanked back and forth, they are still firmly nailed there.
Zeng Yu also saw that the entire battlefield was that the unclothed army had already taken the advantage, and this advantage was constantly expanding. The front army of the Yellow Turban Army had been completely stopped in the middle of the Ruishi Battalion and the Wushu Battalion, and the commander of the Thousand Army, Captain Ding, was also shot dead by Wu Shi. With no leader, the front army of the Yellow Turban Army fought separately, and it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.
The battle had been going on for two hours, and it was noon. Wang Qing and the soldiers of the Rui Shi Battalion fought very the front line, and they fought fiercely with the Yellow Turban Army. Both armies suffered relatively serious losses, and their corpses were strewn all over the field.
Whether it was Wang Qing or the soldiers under his command, they also felt that the physical consumption of Dao was relatively large at this time. After four hours of fierce fighting, although the adrenaline soared, gradually everyone also felt the loss of physical strength. However, compared with the Yellow Turban Army, the soldiers of the Rui Shi Battalion still have their own commanders present, and they take the lead and constantly stab the enemy on the opposite side.
Shohachi knew that he had been defeated, and in a head-to-head battle, he was defeated by the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.
"Removal !!"
Zuo Shohachi ordered the withdrawal, but his order could only be transmitted to the rear army, and now there are only more than 1,000 people left. More than 1,000 people got the order of Zuo Zhanghachi, and immediately abandoned their opponents and followed Zuo Zhangba to the north of the county.
And the former army, which was under the attack of the Ruishi battalion and the Wushu battalion, also discovered their behavior after the withdrawal of Zuo Zhangpachi, and they knew that their battalion had been abandoned.
"Zuo Zhanghachi has fled, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army has almost lost their fighting spirit, let them surrender." Zeng Yu said to the soldiers around him and asked him to give orders.
"The lord has an order, you Qu Shuai has fled, everyone surrenders and will not be killed!"
"The lord has an order, surrender and don't kill!"
At that time, all the pro-soldiers immediately shouted loudly, and the sound quickly reached the ears of the two warring sides. The reason why it is so easy is also because the voices of the people who are fighting are hoarse at this time, and they can't roar at all, and there is only the sound of their weapons intersecting on the battlefield, and there is the wail after being injured and the screams before death.
The voice of surrender without killing came, and I don't know who it was, but he took the lead in kneeling on the ground and throwing down his weapon, indicating that he surrendered to the officers and soldiers. Immediately afterwards, the two sides that were originally fighting on the battlefield, the Yellow Turban Army handed over their weapons one after another, which means that this time, Zeng Yu's unclothed army won the final victory.
Wang Qing and Pei Yuanshao came from the army and replied to Zeng Yu, among whom Pei Yuanshao knew that Zuo Zhangba was fleeing north, so he asked for orders to pursue the Yellow Turban Army.
"Zuo Zhanghachi is now a lost dog, and he can't escape anywhere. The soldiers have been fighting for a morning, so let them rest first, besides, our wounded soldiers also need to be treated, and these prisoners also need to be settled. However, there must be something in the Yellow Turban Army camp, you can take someone to take down their camp and bring back all the grain and grass. Although Zeng Yu rejected Pei Yuanshao's request, he also gave him the task of taking down the Yellow Turban Army camp.
Although he knew that if he took down Zuo Shohachi, their victory would look greater, but Zuo Shohachi had no soldiers and horses in his hands, and he was just a martial artist, so he couldn't give him any threat.
Next, Zeng Yu asked the soldiers of the shooter battalion to clean up the battlefield and carry the wounded back to the barracks for treatment. And he himself, under the escort of his own soldiers, walked with Guo Jia to the county seat of Tongyu County.
Deng Tong, the county commander of Tonglu County, and others watched the battle between the unclothed army and the Yellow Turban army throughout the whole process, and this kind of fight not only made them feel enthusiastic, but also made the soldiers who defended the city before feel frightened.
But fortunately, in the end, the side under the banner of officers and soldiers won the victory, although they did not know where the other side came from, but since they were officers and soldiers, they were their own allies.
Seeing that there was a small team in the opposing army coming towards Tongyu County, Deng Tong immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and he himself went down the city wall with a group of officials, intending to meet the other party in person.
Zeng Yu saw a group of officials in Tonglu County outside the county, the first one was about forty years old, more than eight feet tall, with a long beard, a good face, a serious air between the eyebrows, and bright eyes.
When Zeng Yu saw him, Deng Tong was wearing light armor and a ring-headed knife, and he could still see the blood stains stained during the previous battles on his body.
"On behalf of the elders and villagers of Tonglu County, Deng Tong, the county commander of Tongba County, thank you for the grace of your rescue!" When Deng Tong saw Zeng Yu, he knew that he was the leader of this army of officers and soldiers, and immediately made a big gift and thanked him.
