1295 Face (Page 1/1)

In any army, the most elite men and horses are in the hands of the main general, that is, the Chinese army, and the same is true for cavalry.

Yuan Xi had more than 2,000 cavalry, but he had no armored cavalry, and he was blocked in the camp, so he could only watch Chen Zhi and others rushing back and forth outside the camp. They have seen the strength of the armored cavalry, and some of them even surrendered to Yuan Shao in that battle, and later became Yuan Xi's subordinates.

One is desperate, and ten people are difficult to do. They surrendered to Yuan Shao for their lives, not for their lives, and they were even more unwilling to fight with the heavily armed armored cavalry.

More than 20,000 Yuan soldiers rode on foot, scattered in more than ten large battalions, each with their own thoughts, watching Chen Zhi and other more than 100 horsemen rushing back and forth, and watching the heavy battalion burn into thick smoke. It wasn't until it was determined that Chen Zhi only had more than 100 horsemen and no other consequences, that Feng Ji made up his mind to deploy a siege.

Hearing the change in the drums, Chen Zhi stopped fighting and ordered a retreat. The impact of the armored cavalry is strong, but it cannot last, and if it is delayed, it will not be fought by the enemy, and the armored cavalry itself will be exhausted. From the point of view of time, even if Yuan Xi's baggage battalion is saved, the loss will not be small, his tactical goal has been achieved, and there is no need to be greedy for merit and risk.

Chen gave an order, and one hundred and fifty knights withdrew from the Yuan army camp in an orderly manner and left.

Yuan Xi and Feng Ji knew that they were slow to react and were exploited by the other party, but they were helpless. At this point, regret could not solve the problem, and the most urgent task at the moment was to find out how many losses there were and adjust the battle plan.

Chen arrived to meet Sun Qian, but he didn't have time to remove the horse armor, but just let the armor soldiers ride on the pack horses and retreat to a safe distance first. Sun Qian saw the fire in Yuan Xi's camp from a distance, and knew that the great achievement had been accomplished, and his heart rejoiced. At this moment, I counted the number of people again, and found that one hundred and fifty horsemen were actually a lot, and only a dozen knights were shot by arrows and were slightly injured, and their mood was even more excited.

Chen Zhi is also in a good mood. As soon as he saw the armor, he knew it was a good thing, but without actual combat, he would never know how strong the armor ride really was. Although he did not compete with Yuan Xi in a dignified formation this time, he only attacked Yuan Xi's stragglers, and he also had a personal experience of the combat effectiveness of the armored cavalry. As soon as he thought that Sun Ce had practiced to become a armor rider, he was useless and handed it over to him first, and his heart was full of gratitude, and he felt that the two years of waiting in Danyang had not been in vain.

When he came, Chen Zhi made a detour to Hanting, and now he returned to the division, Chen Zhi did not make a detour again, and went straight to Fuyong Mountain along the official road.

——

Confirming that the enemy had left, Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, who were embarrassed and angry, sent someone to inform Yan Liang, telling him to be careful of these armored horsemen and not to be careless, while counting the losses. The loss of the soldiers was not much, more than 200 people were killed, and more than 600 were slightly wounded, but the loss of grain and grass was very serious, and two of the three heavy battalions were burned, and the loss reached more than half.

"Damn!" Yuan Xi stood in the smoky and shambled baggage camp, and stomped his feet angrily.

Feng Ji stood beside him, his face darker than the over-fired grain. A few days ago, he was full of confidence to defeat Shen You and make a name for himself, but before he even saw Shen You's battle flag, he was first attacked by his cavalry, and the baggage camp was burned down, and he was beaten with a stick, not to mention how depressed he was.

"Yuan Tu, most of the baggage has been destroyed, what should I do next? With the rest of the grain and grass, we can only support half a month at most. ”

Feng Ji was silent, and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Without cropping, the horses can only be fed with grain, which will greatly increase the consumption of grain. Since the Yellow Turban, Qingzhou has been at war for more than ten years, the population has suffered serious losses, a large amount of land has been abandoned, and it is not easy to collect grain and crops, especially in Beihai and Donglai, which add up to only 350,000 households, and Tian Kai has no ability to manage the people and restore production, and the situation in the area he controls is even worse, making it difficult to collect grain and cropping.

"Envoy, I think we can continue to march, if we can defeat Tian Kai before Shen You arrives, or even capture Tian Kai, then we can fight quickly. If you can't, then simply stop fighting and let Tian Kai go, so as not to lose Yan Liang. Then take Fuyong Mountain as the boundary, confront Shen You, and attack on behalf of defense. The land east of Fuyong Mountain is vast and sparsely populated, and there are large areas of mountainous areas, and manpower and material resources are not enough to support Shen You's men and horses, and Shen You cannot hold on, so he must take the initiative to attack. In this way, Yan Liang insisted on retorting mountain and confronted Shen You, so that Jun could contact the Beihai families and have enough food and drink. ”

Yuan Xi felt justified and nodded again and again. Being able to get the support of the family is his biggest advantage, and giving full play to this advantage can drag Shen You to death. Sun Ce first had a big war last year, and then suffered from a pandemic, and he couldn't afford to put it off. Yan Liang is good at fighting, and he has the terrain advantage of Fuyong Mountain, so it should be no problem to block Shen You's attack. Defending instead of attacking can reduce consumption and stabilize the situation.

"Just according to the meta map." Yuan Xi was silent for a moment. "This ...... Should I inform my father? ”

"Of course, I have to inform." Feng Ji doesn't think twice. "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and it is more shameful to defeat and bully the king than to defeat the king, and ......" Feng Ji paused." Since Shen You's partial division has armor cavalry, it is impossible for the main force led by Sun Ce not to have it, if the lord is unaware for a while, he falls for Sun Ce's tricks, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Yuan Xi reacted and was scared into a cold sweat.

——

In the afternoon, the sun had just set west, and Chen arrived to meet Tian Kai.

As soon as they met, Sun Qian told Tian Kai about Chen Zhi's attack on Yuan Xi's camp and burning Yuan Xi's baggage. Tian Kai was overjoyed and breathed a long sigh of relief. What he is most worried about now is that Yuan Xi is coming, Yan Liang is in the way in front of him, and Yuan Xi is chasing after him, and he is almost bound to lose. Now that Yuan Xi's baggage has been destroyed, he shouldn't be in a hurry to chase after him.

But Chen Zhi has a different opinion. Although he burned Yuan Xi's baggage, it was impossible to burn it all, Yuan Xi would delay for a day or two at most, and it was possible to chase him over and collect grain and grass from nearby counties to replenish it. With Yuan Xi's camp as the center, there are three counties of Duchang, Pingshou and Yingling within a hundred miles, and with Yuan Xi's influence, it is not a problem to collect a little grain and grass.

Tian Kai's crisis has not been completely eliminated, and if he is careless because of this, he may even suffer even greater losses.

Tian Kai was embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Zhi had just won the battle and was kind to him, he would have almost thrown his face. If Shen You talks like this, then that's it, you dare to talk to me like this as a personal guard general, do you know how to be humble?

Seeing Tian Kai's unnatural face, Chen Zhi immediately realized that he had made the wrong object. Tian Kai is not Sun Ce, he can be blunt, although he has done a good job in the history of Qingzhou, after all, he is also a general entrusted by Gongsun Zhan. He was a Danyang Taishou, but Tian Kai may not know that in Tian Kai's eyes, he is Shen You's personal guard general, only two hundred horsemen, that is, a Qu Junhou, an inconspicuous junior officer.

Chen Zhi glanced at Sun Qian and asked him to ease his cheeks. Sun Qian understood, diverted the topic, and asked about Shen You's location. Tian Kai's face slowly eased, and said that Shen You was coming, and the news he received yesterday said that he had arrived in Chunyu County, and he should be able to rush to Fuyong Shandong today. However, Yan Liang occupied the favorable terrain, and it was not easy for Shen You to pass through Fuyong Mountain.

Chen Zhi decided to rush to Chunyu in person to meet Shen You.
