However, thinking of being in Hebei, he repeatedly told him to protect Yuan Xi's safety.

Wen Chou held back again, shook his head and said, "The last general should follow the lord." Kill the enemy, let others do it. ”

"Whatever you want."

Yuan Xicai didn't have the heart to care about Wen Chou, he still had to command the army to defend the village.

"Kill..." The Jiangdong Army is getting closer and closer.

"Listen to the soldiers, and when the enemy is fifty paces away, return fire with their bows and arrows. When you are ten paces away, you will return fire with a boulder.... "Yuan Xi rarely commands battles personally, but this time he made an exception.

Fortunately, I have seen how others command the city, and it is not too difficult for Yuan Xi.

"Lord, lord... Look! Jaw hurriedly ran over and pointed to the north. I saw the rushing Jiangdong Army, only a few people carried the ladder and rushed to the walled gate. The other large troops all ran towards the walled tower to the north.

Hey?

Yuan Xi said suspiciously: "What is the enemy running there for?" ”

According to the normal rules, the siege troops should attack from the gate, not only to cover the ramming cars, but also to concentrate their forces and increase the chance of breaking the fortress. However, the current situation is just the opposite, the enemy is going to the walled tower in the north, and there is no walled gate there, how can they enter it?

If something is abnormal, it will be unusual.

Yuan Xi instructed Zhang Jaw to guard the gate of the walled wall, and ran to the walled tower to the north.

Wen Chou followed.

Boom boom...

I had just run a short distance, and before I reached the walled towers in the north, I saw that all the walled towers there had collapsed, and the enemy troops continued to enter. Yuan Xi was stunned and stopped: "It turns out that Zhou Yu has already prepared..." ”

"Jaw open."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi returned to Zhang Jaw's side and said angrily: "You personally go and lead the vanguard battalion, as well as all the chariots, to meet Zhou Yu." Let's stop defending the village, let's prepare to fight with Zhou Yu in the field. I'll fetch a mammoth and give Zhou Yu a blow to the head. ”

"Yes."

Open jaw and run quickly.

Yuan Xi also beckoned the soldiers on the walled tower to evacuate.

The camp is very vast, full of arrow towers, lookouts, deep ditches, high forts, although there are no soldiers to guard, but it causes the enemy's action to be slow, but also to the mobilization of Yuan's army, buy a certain amount of time.

"Kill..."

The shouts of the pioneer battalion resounded in the front battalion.

Then the smoke and dust billowed and came with momentum.

The Jiangdong Army that entered the big camp was almost all infantry troops, and its field combat ability was not strong. They stormed the barracks, the main purpose of which was to take control of the walled towers and create opportunities for later troops.

However.

Engaged in the battle with the pioneer battalion, without surprise, they were all defeated at the first touch.

A large number of the Jiangdong army was repulsed and retreated across the moat.

Zhou Yu, who was outside the village, saw it and was immediately furious: "The camp is broken, can't you rush in?" ”

"Dadu Governor, the Hebei army is brave and good at fighting, especially the ability of field warfare, which is stronger than ours. This situation is also reasonable. Huang Gai said.

"What does it mean to be reasonable? I haven't heard the truth that the camp is broken and you can't rush in. Is this still my Koto son? In the face of the Hebei Army, so cowardly? Zhou Yu was very angry.

How hard did he work to lead Yuan Xi into an ambush, how could he be frustrated at the door?

"Public."

"Yes."

"Wait a little longer, Jiang Qin's troops will be repulsed. You lead all your cavalry and charge through that gap, and you must win. I will mobilize a large army and then destroy the village in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes."

Huang Gai also transferred troops to participate in the war.

Zhangjaw's pioneer battalion fought in Yanzhou and Yingchuan, suffered heavy casualties, and after more than two months of recuperation, it did not recover. The number of soldiers participating in the battle is less than 1,000, but the walled tower is enough to resist narrowness. If you have more, you can't do it.

Under their swift charge.

The more than 3,000 infantry troops brought in by Jiang Qin were all repulsed.

Heehi...

At this time, Yuan Xi arrived with a mammoth.

"General Zhangjaw, how's the situation?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Don't worry, the lord has a pioneer camp guarding here, and Zhou Yu can't rush in. When it comes to offensive and defensive battles, perhaps the Jiangdong Army is stronger than us, but when it comes to field battles, they are not qualified. ”

Yuan Xi glanced at the soldiers of the pioneer battalion who were blocked behind him, and there were not many of them. Although the heavy armor iron cavalry has strong combat effectiveness and strong defense, the number is too small and it can't last long.

The battle with Zhou Yu is by no means something that the pioneer battalion can win.

It is necessary to rely on other troops.

"You can't keep stuck here, you have to bring them in, wait until you get to a spacious place, and destroy them with chariots..." Yuan Xi said with a plan.

"The last will understand."

Zhang Jaw thinks the same way.

Da Da...

Just when Yuan Xi and Zhang Jaw were planning to release the water and let the Jiangdong army enter the camp, they suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves. Zhang Jaw raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the village: "Lord, look, the enemy's cavalry." ”

Judging by the size of the enemy's cavalry, it should have been no less than three thousand.

Each cavalry was equipped with a bow and arrow, a shield, a sword, and belonged to the melee type of cavalry.

"It's an elite!" The jaw opened and concluded at a glance.

"How so?"

"My lord, please look at the way they ride, many difficult movements can be easily done. It must be rigorously trained. ”

Yuan Xi looked carefully, and sure enough. But thinking about it, he hummed: "Jiangdong lacks horses." These thousands of horses should be Zhou Yu's sharpest spear. Even in Shouchun City, there were no cavalry of this size. General Zhang, this cavalry must be eliminated. ”

"Yes."

"Wait..." Yuan Xi thought about it and felt inappropriate: "If this cavalry is eliminated, will Zhou Yu still dare to enter the village?" To be on the safe side, you will meet them first, and when you have destroyed half of them, then retreat to the wall, and I will lead the chariots to meet and completely destroy this cavalry. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Jaw led the pioneer battalion into battle.

...........

Yuan Xi returned to the camp and mobilized all the chariot troops to stand by.

Huang Gai's cavalry engaged the vanguard battalion of the open jaw.

Perhaps Yuan Xi didn't expect that the cavalry of the Jiangdong Army was stronger than he imagined, especially in close combat, the tenacity and tacit understanding of mutual cooperation shown were comparable to the elite of the vanguard battalion.

A moment of engagement.

The vanguard battalion was defeated.

"Liu Yi, where are your spearmen?" Yuan Xi suddenly changed his attention, and felt that sending spearmen into battle was more effective and cost-effective than chariots. Keeping five thousand chariots, when all Zhou Yu's army came in, he launched a charge, which was more effective than the spearmen.

"Back to the lord, all on standby on the left flank."

"Send them in to fight and defeat Huang Gai."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi looked at the Jiangdong cavalry that rushed in, wondering why its combat effectiveness was so strong that it could repel the pioneer battalion. But after thinking about it, I understand something. Jiangdong has repeatedly suffered losses in field battles, so it is natural to focus on training field troops. And the cavalry is the king in the field, and it is necessary to strengthen training. It's no surprise that they were able to defeat the Pioneer Battalion.
