Chapter 1234: Turnaround
Zhang Yun secretly complained to himself. Yan Liang wants to fight with him, he can't retreat, retreating is a defeat, he can only head on top of his head and wait for a turnaround.
His turning point was Shen You and Ling Cao. Considering their respective positions, the only person they could count on now was Shen You, Ling Cao was too far away, and by the time he arrived, he might have already been defeated. Besides, after Ling Cao's rapid march of nearly a hundred miles, it was a question of whether he had the strength to fight.
Although this situation was expected before, there was no way to crack it. From the overall tactical point of view, this is also the most secure choice. As long as he can entangle Yan Liang, Shen You will have a military advantage after he arrives, and he will have the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on Yan Liang and win the first battle. But on an individual level, his loss was too great. Not only will he have to bear heavy casualties, but he may also leave a stain for the rest of his life.
But he had no choice but to grit his teeth for support, and at the same time hoped that Shen You could arrive in time so that he could retain some more vitality. These Jiangdong soldiers are the most trustworthy and have the strongest combat effectiveness, once the casualties are too large, it is difficult to replenish them in time, and then they can only watch others make meritorious contributions.
Zhang Yun ordered the whole army to face the battle, and even he himself put on his helmet again, ready to fight in person. Yan Liang left behind two thousand people, who could not only stop Shen You, but also throw themselves into the battlefield when he showed his flaws and make a fatal blow. And those cavalry, cruising around the battlefield like wolves, they will pounce on them mercilessly at the first opportunity.
Yan Liang gave full play to his advantages and did not give him a chance to take advantage of it. This is a difficult opponent, no wonder Pang Tong has to remind him again and again. Thinking of the original negligence, Zhang Yun regretted and was ashamed.
Yan Liang's subordinates besieged on all sides, but Yan Liang himself was only one. He has a strong personal force and an elite battalion of personal guards, which can break through two positions in a row, but his subordinates do not have such combat effectiveness. In the face of the Jiangdong Army, which relied on the chariot formation to fight, they did not have too many means to break the formation, so they could only cut and shoot at each other with the Jiangdong soldiers across the cart. With the protection of the cart, the Jiangdong soldiers quickly calmed down and counterattacked in an orderly manner under the command of the military marquis and Dubo.
Zhang Yun looked at it for a while, and had a bottom in his heart, although Yan Liang had many troops, the average level was not stronger than that of the Jiangdong Army, and only Yan Liang and his personal guard battalion were really strong. This should be Yan Liang's private department, trained well, well equipped, and his own family, willing to work hard. As long as Yan Liang's side is stopped, there will be no danger in the other sides for the time being. Of course, you can't just transfer it, after all, it's a new recruit, and it's okay when the strength is equal, and it's reluctant to be outnumbered. In the event of a flaw, it is likely to collapse completely.
Zhang Yun held the remaining Chinese army two songs and three hundred personal guard battalions, closely watched the battle situation, and did not dare to be careless.
The sound of war drums came from the front again, and Yan Liang broke through for a while. Zhang Yun glanced at the military strategist Yan Zuo on the side. Yan Zuo held up three fingers and shook his head with a wry smile. Zhang Yun understood, Yan Liang broke three formations in a row, but the time interval did not change much, and the time to break the third formation was about the same as the time to break the second formation, indicating that although he had fought hard for nearly an hour, his combat effectiveness was still considerable. There are still three songs in front of Yan Liang, and the danger of being broken through still exists.
At this moment, several knights rushed in the distance, and Yan Liang's personal guards quickly met them, and the knights rode their horses and galloped, breaking through the interception of Yan Liang's subordinates, and came to the soldiers of both sides who were fighting, and waved the colorful flags in their hands vigorously. Zhang Yun and Yan Zuo looked at each other, and their hearts were overjoyed, this was a signal that Shen You was about to rush to the battlefield. They hurriedly asked the herald to send out a flag in response, but they were still a step too late. Yan Liang's personal guards rushed over, surrounded the knights, and shot down their horses.
Zhang Yun gritted his teeth in anger, but he was helpless. When the two armies were fighting, the casualty rate of the heralds was always high.
He ordered the news of Shen You's imminent arrival to spread throughout the army, and then handed over the flag to Yan Zuo, deciding to lead the guard battalion to meet Yan Liang. Yan Zuo was shocked and tried his best to stop it, but Zhang Yun insisted on doing so. There are only two songs left in the Chinese army to mobilize, but Yan Liang is still advancing forward, and now only he and the personal guard battalion can stop Yan Liang.
Yan Zuo was a military strategist, nominally under the direct command of Pang Tong, but at this moment, he could make suggestions, but he could not deny Zhang Yun's orders. The situation is critical, and Zhang Yun is forced to go into battle in person. The Chinese army failed to stop Yan Liang in two songs, and only Zhang Yun's personal guard battalion was available. Once Yan Liang broke through to the center of the position, and then spread horizontally from the inside, the adjacent sides were very dangerous, and there was a possibility of complete collapse.
Zhang Yun rode out of the battle and took the guard battalion to meet Yan Liang.
The reinforcements were about to arrive, and the main general personally went to battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the Jiangdong army, especially the officers and men of the Chinese army who were fighting hard against Yan Liang. They roared in unison, burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and fought back desperately, so that Yan Liang was also a little unbearable, and was forced to retreat again and again, and the two military marquis saw this, and invariably ordered to squeeze forward, to squeeze Yan Liang and others out of the car formation.
Yan Liang was anxious, he also heard the sound of the drums, and knew that Shen You was coming. He arranged for Yan Yi to warn and also arranged for 2,000 foot soldiers to block the reinforcements, which was originally no problem, but after fighting hard with the Jiangdong Army for half a day, he realized that he had seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of these Jiangdong Army, and those 2,000 people couldn't stop Shen You for too long. If he can't completely defeat the enemy in front of him before Shen You breaks through the blockade, he will be covered up by Shen You, and there is a possibility that the whole army will be annihilated.
At this moment, he saw that Zhang Yun's battle flag was approaching, and his heart was ecstatic. Over the past year or so, it has been proven countless times that the best way to defeat your opponent is to capture the flag. He immediately confessed a few words to the subordinates beside him. The tribes comprehended, shouting and pretending to be invincible, while surrounding Yan Liang and a dozen companions with strong martial arts in the middle, letting them take a breath, accumulate some strength, and wait for the opportunity to assault.
Such an opportunity is only once, and there is no room for failure.
——
Shen You led his troops to the battlefield, and when he learned that Zhang Yun was still insisting, he let out a long breath.
For recruits, as long as the formation is not broken, even if the casualties are large, there is no problem. With a fleet to rely on, companions by your side, and veterans in command, they can all hold on. Once the formation is broken and they enter into a separate melee, they are no match for the veterans at all, and they will quickly collapse and become the target of slaughter.
Without a few real bloody battles, recruits are always recruits.
The scouts galloped back and forth and reported a message to Shen You: there was an enemy blocking the road ahead, and there were about 2,000 foot soldiers.
When he saw Yan Yi and the others cruising in the distance, Shen You knew that Yan Liang was ready to help, and at this moment, he didn't say much, and immediately called Chen Dao.
"Uncle Zhi, it's time for Jia to go into battle."
