Chapter 413: The whole army is killed
"What? The Donglai army is out of the city? ”
Don't say that Gongsun Du doesn't believe it, and others don't believe it either.
How is this possible!
Even if the Donglai army goes out of the city, it still has to fight in the field, this is because the brain has been kicked by a donkey.
The generals looked at each other, and Gongsun Du said: "Go out and have a look!" ”
Hearing is false, seeing is believing.
Gongsun Du came out with everyone, and sure enough, under the new city of Liaoshan, there was a square team standing neatly, and behind the square team was a wide open city gate.
There was not a single sergeant in the city, only the battle flags that were hunting in the cold wind.
"It doesn't seem like a lot of people!"
Gongsun Du was puzzled, and estimated from the phalanx that the other party was only about three thousand, wearing bright bright armor, and in his hand was a bright long knife.
"The lord is afraid that there is fraud!" Liu Pu reminded with an uneasy heart.
The Donglai army left the great city unguarded, ran out of the field, and there were only 3,000 people, and the city gate was not closed, so it was open, and most importantly, there were no defenders on the city wall.
It was as if they were deliberately luring them into the city.
Could it be that there was an ambush in the city, and Gongsun Du was also suspicious.
Han Qi asked for a battle and said: "My lord, the last general will go and wipe it, give me 10,000 soldiers and horses, and kill this group of Donglai soldiers who don't know whether they are alive or dead......"
Gongsun Du didn't agree, then looked at another subordinate and said, "Yang Zuo, you go, take 10,000 horses for me to trample!" ”
Gongsun Du is quite ruthless in his life, and he also feels that there is something wrong with Liaoshan New Town, but he can't see the problem.
So just send cavalry up there to do it.
Regardless of the conspiracy, the cavalry rushed, all trampled to death and impacted, no matter if you really opened the city gate or fake the city gate, as long as it was a cavalry, it could advance or retreat.
"Kill!" Gongsun Du's cavalry general Yang Zuo led 10,000 iron cavalry to the opposite Donglai military formation.
The phalanx on the opposite side never moved, and everyone was like a stone pillar standing in a deep pit, with a resolute face.
"Slash!"
Suddenly, the front member of the phalanx waved the long knife in his middle hand.
The others also raised their arms, and the Liaodong cavalry rushed to the scene and was about to swing their swords and slash, but before they could swing their weapons.
The first two rows of soldiers in the phalanx on the ground swung their long broadswords in unison.
Hundreds of people are like people, knives are like forests, swift and fierce.
"Puff ......"
Just in an instant, I saw the Liaodong cavalry screaming one after another, and all the horses in front of the horse team that had just rushed to the ground fell to the ground, and one by one the horses were cut in half.
Even the knight on his horse was cut in two.
"Enter!"
Suddenly, the commander of the phalanx will issue a new order, and the soldiers of the third and fourth platoons will take a few steps forward with their swords, and then wave their swords in unison.
The cavalry that followed was cut in two, and the harness of the men and horses was torn apart.
"Entering!"
"Drink!"
The soldiers holding the big long knives shouted in unison, marched forward with their knives, and when they saw obstacles, they all slashed them.
Everywhere they passed, the men and horses died, and nothing was intact.
The Liaodong cavalry failed to attack head-on, Yang Zuo gestured and ordered most of them to form two teams, divided into left and right to attack the two wings of the phalanx, trying to rush in from the two wings.
As a result, the impact still failed, and all the soldiers were ruthlessly cut into two pieces, and the human and horse harnesses were torn to death.
Gongsun Du and his subordinates were shocked by this result.
The cavalry rushed to the foot soldiers, and they were mercilessly beaten.
How is this possible, the cavalry will lose to the foot soldiers, it is not impossible, but that is when the long-range strike weapon bow and crossbow are abundant.
Now there are 3,000 people in the Donglai Military Region, and there are no bows and crossbows, so 10,000 cavalry have been restrained.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gongsun Du would still have been a little incredulous.
"Whew!" With a long exhalation, Gongsun Du's face became even more gloomy, and he watched the 10,000 cavalry gradually decrease, so he had to order unwillingly: "Mingjin retreats!" ”
The sound of tinkling gold sounded, and the Liaodong cavalry, which had lost most of it, retreated with relief.
Returning to the barracks, Gongsun Du rubbed his temples and asked, "Now the siege can't be attacked, and the field battle is not as good as the Donglai army, what should I do." ”
Liu Yuan and Liu Pu stood up and said: "The lord should withdraw his troops, and when the sky improves, he will come to attack the Handong Protectorate!" ”
His face was not very good, but he didn't expect that the expedition would be declared a failure at the beginning, and he would be even more difficult if he wanted to attack the Handong Protectorate in the future.
"Forget it, go back and think about it." Originally, he was ambitious, but he was hit head-on by the Donglai army, and Gongsun Du had unspeakable bitterness in his heart.
The order was given, and the army marched the next day, and soon the soldiers covering the rear sent information.
"Report to the lord, the foot soldiers of the Donglai Army are coming."
"Followed? What do you mean, they still want to use these foot soldiers to hunt me down. When Gongsun Du heard that the Donglai foot soldier with a big knife came with him yesterday, he immediately sneered.
It's okay if you can't defeat the infantry in the front, and now you still want to use infantry to chase the cavalry, it's ridiculous.
"Lord, I'm afraid that the Donglai army is going to play tricks, so ignore it and return to Liaodong at full speed." Yanagiura suggested.
Yang Zuo said: "Lord, since the Donglai army dares to come, it is better to let the last general rush him once, and the last general ambushes the troops on both sides, waiting for the enemy to chase until he suddenly kills, as long as he does not give the other party a chance to form a formation, he will be able to kill and trample in one fell swoop." ”
Yesterday, he lost 5,000 horsemen, and he was killed by the infantry, Yang Zuo was really uncomfortable in his heart, and he was angry, so he wanted to take revenge and make a name for himself.
He didn't want future generations to talk about it and become a model of a loser.
Gongsun Du felt reasonable, and said another accurate word, and then asked Yang Zuo to ambush, and he continued to return south with the army.
Half an hour later, the rear scout came back in a hurry.
"Report to the lord, General Yang Zuo was ambushed by the enemy, and the whole army was killed."
I......
Gongsun Du was so angry that he whipped on the trunk road on the side of the road, and asked, "What's the matter, didn't Yang Zuo ambush the Donglai army?" How to return will be ambushed by the other party. ”
"Lord, General Yang Zuo was ambushed on the side of the road, and when he saw the Donglai long knife soldiers coming over and then led the army to kill, but when he led his troops to fight with the enemy, five thousand enemy horsemen emerged from the flank, and General Yang Zuo and others were surrounded, and there was no hope of breaking through the siege and died."
"Tian Feng's cavalry?" Gongsun Du was silent for a while, and then said: "Accelerate the retreat, don't fall in love with the battle, Tian Feng is a difficult opponent." ”
Next, no matter how the Donglai army chased after him, Gongsun Du did not send a single soldier to counterattack, but accelerated the retreat of Ximagai City in Xuantu County.
"It's so daring, you dare to chase after me Xuantu County, what does this Tian Feng want to do? He didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to capture my Xuantu County. Gongsun Du looked at the Donglai army that had just arrived, and muttered to himself suspiciously.
Han Qi asked for battle again: "Lord, do you want to mobilize soldiers and horses from other cities to come and besiege and kill this group of Donglai army." ”
As soon as the words fell, Liupu said: "The lord can't, if you are transferring troops, the city defense of each city will be weak, I'm afraid that Tian Feng is waiting for this opportunity, so as to defeat us one by one." ”
