Chapter 15 It's hard to get angry in one drum

Xu Ziyuan temporarily transferred the battlefield, using 10,000 soldiers as bait, a large battalion as a trap, 50,000 soldiers who were actually waiting on the side as an encirclement network, and a bridge as a psychological blind spot, successfully designed a complete and concise ambush of a large army, which can be called an antelope hanging horn, which is enough to be called a big coincidence.

In the environment of being successfully ambushed and heavily attacked, Gao Shun borrowed the shield to ambush the shield and rose up, but he actually ambushed the opponent's striker in turn, but it was a stroke of genius.

Moreover, the ambush set by Gongsun Xun and Gao Shun was more intense and extreme than the thickness of Xu You's handwriting, once successful, more than 2,000 Yuan soldiers who fell to death fell into panic almost instantly, and suffered great casualties in a very short time...... The spear assault behind him is not enough, the key is that thousands of bows and crossbows in front of him are shooting at close range for a while, which is no joke! Or even a massacre at all!

In fact, after only a few breaths, more than 2,000 people were immediately reduced by more than 1,000 troops, and then they lost their combat effectiveness from a strategic point of view.

"It's done!" After just one round of shooting and assault, Lou Gui took the lead in saying that he was overjoyed on the stage.

"yes, it's done." Immediately, below Lu Fan, many staff members also took a long breath.

As for Gongsun Ding, who was sitting in his father's arms, his eyes were just wide-eyed, as speechless as his father...... Of course, the former was stunned and a little frightened, because for for an eleven-year-old child, it was always too early to observe such a bloody slaughter scene so closely, and it can only be said that fortunately, the shouts of thousands of excited crossbowmen fought to overpower the wails of the wounded of the Yuan army...... As for the latter, they are waiting and observing, because such a wonderful shield tactic is not the pursuit of the life and death of just 2,000 people.

The crossbowmen hurriedly prepared for the second round of arrow rain under the urging of Zhang Nan, taking advantage of this gap, there were already many Yuan soldiers who instinctively fled to the gaps specially reserved on the two wings, but more of the surviving soldiers were mostly people in the center of the previous tight charge formation, these people stood on the ground of death, seeing their comrades on all sides fall countless times in an instant, but their brains were blank, so that they were at a loss...... They really don't know whether to go forward or backward, whether to go left or right, and they just wait for death in vain.

In any case, this is of course a good thing, because at this time, the sooner the Yuan army in the ambush circle is emptied, the better.

At the same time, within the sight of Gongsun Xun, there was also a commotion in the Yuan army's main formation, which was hundreds of steps away...... This time the ambush shield tactic was too unexpected and shocking, so not only the more than 2,000 forwards who were surrounded were out of control, but also the front line of the Yuan army's large array was also in turmoil, so that there was a scene of retreat and escape.

But it's a pity that Gao Shun's troops are too small, and more importantly, he is still worried about the safety of Gongsun Xun behind him, so he doesn't dare to lead the shield array to rush out, and correspondingly, the Yuan army's large array is too thick, and the soldiers and horses behind don't know what happened in front at all, so after a while, under the strict supervision of the rear officers, the order of the military array was restored.

Of course, at this time, the 2,500 Yuan troops in front of Gongsun Xun had completely disappeared...... There were two more rounds of arrow rain, about one thousand seven or eight died, and six or seven hundred people escaped from the gap in the two wings, and there should be no wounded, because in order to protect Gongsun Xun and continue to defend, taking advantage of the commotion of the Yuan army's main formation, Gao Shun led the big shield spear to retreat across the ravine, and formed a shield spear defensive formation, and the crossbowmen also moved forward closely under the command of Lou Gui, sticking to the back of the shield spear long formation, complementing each other to form a typical defensive formation.

And in the process of forming a formation, there is no reason why the wounded on the ground should not be mended.

The commotion of the Yuan army stopped, the defensive formation of the Gongsun army was completed, and Gongsun Xun still did not speak, he kept watching Yuan Shao's car, waiting for the other party's reaction...... And to the surprise of everyone on the stage, just a moment after order was restored, Yuan Jun organized a second wave of charge!

Another two thousand five hundred people rushed forward, and this time they came directly at the shield array that was only a hundred paces away! At the same time, from the condescending position of the general, it can also be seen that the rear army of the Yuan army is also dispatching the crossbowmen forward in a large area, obviously in order to carry out remote suppression and exchange with the crossbowmen behind the Gongsun army's shield array.

The two sides were extremely close to each other, and Gao Shun's shield array was actually extremely thin, so Yuan Junfu entered the scope of the attack of the Gongsun Army's crossbowmen as soon as he charged...... But it's a pity that a round of arrows rained down, and for Yuan Jun, who specially picked up a lot of shields this time, it seemed that the lethality was limited.

It's not that there isn't, but it's impossible to be as shocking as the shooting just now.

"It's dangerous this time!" Seeing such a situation, Dong Zhaofu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was sweating profusely again, and he really couldn't hold back. "Such a successful shield tactic did not even frighten them, or even dampen their spirits......"

The people around him ignored him, Lou Gui was personally directing the deployment of defense, Lu Fan had a gloomy face and didn't know what he was thinking, Tian Feng was frowning slightly, and Xun You was silent as usual...... Further down, Zhang Ji and Wang Xiang are not without ideas, but in such a situation, they have no conclusion, so they dare not speak.

"Prince!" The second round of arrow rain was fired, and Yuan Jun had already rushed to the front of the Gao Shun shield array, Dong Zhao looked at the situation ahead, and couldn't help but approach and persuade again. "If you leave at this time, it is of course shaking the morale of the army, but why not let a team of volunteers come to stand by in the rear of the station?"

"Gongren is not familiar with military affairs, in my opinion, this is not a danger, but a safe ......" Gongsun Xun, who had been silent, had no choice but to comfort his henchman, but before he finished speaking, he was drowned out by the huge sound that was close at hand.

It was not the noisy shouting and killing sound of Yuan Jun's second wave of charge when he smashed into Gao Shun's camp shield formation just now, but Gongsun Jun's own uniform 'rising' sound!

As one of the only two infantry generals who crossed the river this time, when Gao Shun led the big shield spear in front of the shield and ambushed the shield to fight, this infantry captain naturally became the actual commander of the crossbowmen, and with the start of the second wave of the Yuan army's assault, the crossbowmen also began to carry out the elevation angle projectile in a uniform manner, and his person was naturally responsible for the unified firing instructions...... But unlike in the past, before ordering the arrows to be released, the crossbowmen were ordered to raise the bow and arrows by raising the flag, and the flag was ordered to be launched, this time, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhang Nan always shouted the word 'up' when raising the flag, just like shouting Gao Shun to raise the shield before!

Then, thousands of crossbowmen raised their bows together and shot them as the flag fell!

And only two rounds later, under the excitement of the previous huge results, these thousands of archers followed Zhang Nan one after another, imitating the same as just now, and shouted the word 'Qi' in unison! What interrupted Gongsun Xun's speech was just the third round of salvo...... And when it came to the fourth round, the main force of the Gongsun army waiting to cross the river on the west side of the river also cheered across the river!

Therefore, Zhang Nan stood on the platform, every time the flag was raised, tens of thousands of people spoke together, shaking the heavens and the earth, followed by thousands of arrows flying out, and at the same time, Gao Shun was on the front line, and also ordered to stab the spear with the sound of the waves...... In Yuan Jun's opinion, after every sound of the word 'Qi', it will cause exact casualties, and he has witnessed Paoze being slaughtered so cleanly before, so it is getting more and more out of control!

So, after only five or six sounds, the uniform 'rising' sound turned into cheers again...... The second wave of the charge that came in a hurry, only more than a hundred people were killed and wounded, and they were crushed by the sound and fled in confusion.

In the cheers that gradually subsided, Dong Zhao was dumbfounded, but Gongsun Xun was too lazy to say anything.

"Yuan Jun's second wave of offensive is too fast, so fast that it is abnormal." It was Tian Feng who came to his senses at this time, and when he saw this, he reminded Dong Gongren a little. "You must know that General Gao was so martial and heroic before, as a friendly army, our courage was taken away by him, not to mention the Yuan army who saw Pao Ze slaughtered with his own eyes? It stands to reason that even if the assault is reorganized, it should be stopped for a while to restore the morale of one or two, and it is best to replace the rear army that has never seen this situation to come forward to take on this task, but the second wave came in such a hurry and quickly, only a few more shields were added, and it can only be said that this must be a complete gaffe of the opponent's commander, and he threw out the predetermined strategy in his hand in a panic when he was at a loss...... How can you really get it? ”

"It's like playing animal cards at the table, and when you lose in a hurry, you forget to calculate, and hurriedly throw out the big cards in your hand?" Dong Zhao couldn't help but ask with a dark face.

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, but I'm completely panicked and scared...... Dong Fujun doesn't understand military affairs, and it's common for him to not be able to figure out the difference. Tian Feng seemed to say casually, but turned his head to look at Lou Gui. Uncle Zi, can you be righteous at this time? ”

"Wait!"

"No hurry!"

"Wait a minute!"

Lou Gui, Xun You, and Gongsun Xun spoke almost at the same time, but the latter simply shut up at the same time, only Lou Zibo continued to speak slowly: "Wait for the crossbowmen of the other party's rear army to come forward, and see if the other party has a third assault...... But at this time, Pang Lingming can prepare. ”

Tian Feng and Xun You bowed their heads together, and Gongsun Xun still didn't move while holding his son.

And Dong Zhao stopped talking and simply shut up.

Hundreds of steps away, in the Yuan army's big array, Yuan Shao drove in the car, Yuan Benchu himself gritted his teeth and sat in the corner of the car, frowning while holding his forehead and frowning while crying uncontrollably, unable to make a sound at all, while Xin Ping was climbing on the wheel and arguing fiercely with Xu Yu in the car.

"Xu Ziyuan, retreat!" Looking at it carefully, Xin Zhongzhi was also in tears, and he tried his best to persuade with crying. "We are the defeated army turned back and raided, just a breath, after the first group of Feng Yuantu was killed, the whole army was emboldened by the enemy, and today's battle is actually over...... Have you ever seen such a brave soldier in your life? Did you hear the shouting? The other side is so soldiered, so morale, and our side is so stance, can we really rush in before the other side's cavalry returns?! If we drag it out any longer, we will only be wiped out in the wilderness, and the earthen fortress behind us is only used for concealment and concealment, and we can't hold it! ”

"But Feng Yuantu said before he died...... "Xu You held the whip in his hand, and he even cried." If you want to send out all the remaining three dials, how can you let me return at this time? ”

"Are you the only one who cares about Feng Yuantu?" Xin Ping's eyes were filled with tears, and he reluctantly asked. "Ziyuan...... I know that we have a lot of life after Yuan Gong has risen up over the years, but don't forget, I am a good person from Yingchuan, but in the early years in Luoyang, I followed Ming Gong early with you and Yuan Tu, I now remember the situation when I met Gongsun Wenqi with Yuan Tu in Cai Bo's mansion, when the two of us saw him go, I privately told Yuan Tu that this person can kill people...... Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy, what this Liao Xizi killed today turned out to be Yuantu! ”

Xu Yu couldn't hold back his tears.

"Let's go!" Xin Ping continued to persuade reluctantly. "Although Yuan Tu had the intention of dying before, his original intention was to break into the enemy formation regardless of life and death, how could he have thought that there was a shield on the underground ditch and someone under the shield?"

"Rush again!" Xu You suddenly wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth and replied. "That's the case, I can't bear the Yuan Tu, I can't bear the original, I can't bear Chen Gongtai and Fu Gonghe, not to mention Lu Xiang and his 10,000 Yanzhou soldiers...... Wait for the crossbowmen to come up, let me rush again, and it will be done, if it doesn't work, let's go! ”

Xin Ping wanted to say nothing but was speechless, just wiped away his tears and hurriedly returned to his horse.

However, this time there were too many defeated troops, and Guo Tu spent great efforts to suppress them, but the atmosphere of defeat in the army was almost irrepressible. For this reason, Guo Tu used the supervision team again, and only then did he gather the third batch of soldiers and horses, and this wave simply directly used the remaining 5,000 Anping soldiers and horses and 3,000 Qinghe crossbowmen, three thousand on the front and one thousand on each side, and the crossbowmen then suppressed ...... It is worth mentioning that Liu Yan, who has been with Fengji's colleagues for several months, took the initiative to ask for help, and there was no hesitation in the whole process, which also made people feel impressed for a while.

The two sides took the lead, each in place, and then the drum suddenly came to his side, even Xu You was a little dazed, and when he turned around, he found that it was Yuan Shao who got out of the car and beat the drum.

Seeing this, the army rarely aroused some morale, so under the leadership of the officer, they rose up bravely, raised their shields and rushed forward!

But at this moment, there was another deafening 'up' sound, and then Gongsun Jun actually rushed out! The shield spearmen followed the banner in front, raising their shields and charging, and the crossbowmen behind, running and trying to shoot an arrow upwards, but each of them abandoned their bows and drew their swords, trying to engage with each other!

Xu You, who was standing on the car, instinctively looked at the two wings, but saw the white horses on both sides like a forest, which turned out to be the white horse Yi divided into two, outflanking and trampling from the left and right sides! Not only that, behind the white horse, there were other cavalry figures, as if some cavalry were on the scene...... And almost at this moment, the soldiers and horses that had barely mustered up their courage before started from the two wings, and before they could fight, they directly broke up and rolled backwards, and behind their troops and horses were thousands of crossbowmen who had no resistance to the cavalry.

For a while, standing in the car, Xu Ziyuan was not sad but laughed...... Worked hard to plan an ambush, but was ambushed by the other party with more than 1,000 shields and spearmen, 50,000 people, with all their remaining bravery, was bound to win, but they were outflanked by five or six thousand soldiers and horses!

What's the point of fighting on this?

With Xin Ping's order, several armor soldiers hugged Yuan Shao and threw him into the car, and then Xu You personally drove around and fled!

One blow, then exhaustion, three and decline, tens of thousands of troops, because Gao Shun was at the height of the other side's momentum, so that they were depressed, and then took the lead in collapsing before Gongsun Xun's large cavalry returned to help.

However, whether it is Xu Yu or Xin Ping, there is nothing unwilling...... This point was further verified when the whole army retreated in the direction of Ganling in the southeast, and it was only a few miles away.

When the Yuan army retreated, its people had already gathered a group of 2,000 lightly armed infantry soldiers in the east of the river, and it was this army of soldiers and horses that gave the final fatal blow to the retreating Yuan army from the waist...... At this point, Yuan Jun completely lost the last trace of organizational ability.

At first, although the enemy army had to go south one after another, but halfway through, the people and horses of Pingyuan, Qinghe and Qingzhou involuntarily turned to the southeast, but the remnants of Anping simply turned to the southwest along the river, trying to cross the river and return home, while the Yanzhou soldiers ran all the way to the south, not daring to ...... anything else Before it got dark, the whole army had already collapsed in effect.

In the middle of the night that day, the cavalry of the Gongsun army was actually gathered and pursued due south, which allowed the Yuan army in other directions to take a short breather in the wilderness, and at this time, the top level of the Yuan army could only thank God for letting Ganling City be in the southwest, so most of the soldiers in Qingzhou, Qinghe, and Pingyuan were on this road.

"Primordial!" In the dark night, in a crooked carriage on the side of the road, Xu You, who was shrunk to avoid the cold wind of early spring, suddenly spoke, but it was to Yuan Shao, who was slowly drinking cold water beside him.

"What?" After taking a sip of cold water, Yuan Shao's eyes with a headache couldn't be opened.

"There's something I have to tell you." Xu You gasped and said. "Liang Qicheng's next strategy, Yecheng's strategy, today's strategy, I have done my best, and these three strategies are all top-grade, and some of them are even wonderful, if you let others think about it, I'm afraid it won't be as good as me......"

"I didn't doubt your ...... in my heart," Yuan Shao replied reluctantly.

"That's not what it meant." Xu You smiled bitterly. "Whether you doubt me or not, I don't deserve it, anyway, you don't have a negative face on my face...... I just want to say that I have tried my best to implement these three strategies, and now, I dare not say that the oil is exhausted, but it is also an intellectual torment, and I am really powerless! ”

"I know that Ziyuan has done his best, in fact, since the Liang War, I have been powerless, you are much stronger than me......" Yuan Shao raised his head and replied, but he was panting and said no more.

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord." In the night, in the big tent that was hurriedly built, Gongsun Xun pulled out the broken blade of Xiang Yu in his hand, and sighed for a while. "I thought that Yuan Benchu would be able to hold on a little longer, but I didn't expect that this wave of counterattack by others did his best...... In this case, let's get rid of him in Hebei! Don't delay! ”

"Don't worry!" Seeing this, Xu Rong hurriedly spoke. "I've sent someone to seal it to the south...... Yuan Shao will never be able to escape from Yanzhou! Please let me go now, I'll stay overnight......"

"Feel free, it doesn't matter." Gongsun Xun, who was sitting at the top and playing with the broken blade in his hand, said disapprerovitically. "Anyway, Qingshui to the east, most of them are small towns and small villages, and the nearest Ganling City is also seventy or eighty miles, we have cavalry, and the main force of the Yuan army can't escape anyway, so I dare to delay everyone a little time and make a little arrangement...... Don't hide it from you, I'm not going to pursue it personally, spring ploughing is imminent, I'm going to go to the north that I haven't seen carefully for a long time, inspect the place, and inspect the spring ploughing, military matters, as long as Yuan Shao is solved in Hebei Pingding, don't tell me about any other small things in one city and one place, one country and one county, so as not to miss the right thing. ”

Except for Lu Fan, Han Dang, and Lou Gui, who had already been mentally prepared, the rest of the people were a little stunned.

…… I'm so sleepy of the dividing line......

"Taizu was trapped in the Qing River, and there were only thousands of people on his side, and there were 50,000 thieves. Emperor Taizongren was eleven years old and was also in the army. Left and right, persuaded to leave, Taizu is holding Taizong on his lap, pointing to the enemy formation and saying: "Let's watch the elders break the thief!" The people were convinced, and they rose up...... And after the war, Emperor Ren's right arm was held with a bruise, and he did not dare to speak. - "New Yanshu". Emperor Taizongren
