"I'm fine, why are you here?" Jaw asked.

Du Huai told Zhang Jaw about the three military orders issued by the royal gate.

Zhang Jaw nodded and said: "He did a good job, so that the enemy army is tired of coping, and the equipment on the mountain is all ours." Now listen to my orders, quickly take out the remnants of the enemy, and protect all these weapons. ”

"Yes."

Du Huai led his men to fight the remaining enemy forces.

There were only a few dozen enemy troops left, and they were still standing in a phalanx.

Du Huai led the soldiers to fight to the death, and although he successfully annihilated the enemy, more than 100 people died.

After seeing this, Zhang Jaw secretly thought in his heart: "I can't sit in the sky in the future, and the troops under my command must go through strict training." Like Cao Cao's Shenji Battalion, Qingzhou Army, and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they are all first-class elites, and if it were not for the well-equipped Hebei Army, it would never have been possible to win. ”

Before fighting with the tiger and leopard cavalry, Zhang Jaw always believed that the combat effectiveness of the pioneer battalion was the strongest in the country.

Even if it was Li Dian's wolf cavalry, he had the confidence to fight and win.

However, in the first battle of Cage City, the pioneer battalion fought with the tiger and leopard riders three times and was defeated three times. There were 3,000 heavy armored cavalry in the department, and most of the casualties were lost. This reminded Zhang Jaw that although the pioneer battalion is elite, it is not the first in the world.

"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, you all stay here, set up two lines of defense. If the Qingzhou army under the mountain defeats Colonel Zuo, they are very likely to go up the mountain, and when the time comes, you must protect these equipment. Zhang Jaw said to Du Huai.

"Don't worry, general, I'll go and prepare now." Du Huai left with the soldiers.

For Zhang Jaw, the equipment on the mountain is the hope of the whole army. It is the capital to compete with Cao Cao's army, and once lost, the whole army will be in a dangerous situation.

Therefore, the core key to this battle is the guardian equipment.

"You come with me..."

With a dozen soldiers, Zhang Jaw quickly descended the mountain.

He wanted to see how strong the Qingzhou army that fought against Du Huai was.

Can his vanguard battalion defeat the Qingzhou Army.

It's not just about the honor of the Pioneer Battalion, it's also about guarding the equipment.

"The battle under the mountain continues, and the Qingzhou army and our cavalry are in a stalemate. But the enemy stood in a vantage point, and our soldiers, almost a live target. One of the jaw-opening guards said.

I ran down the hill for a while.

Zhang Jaw saw the situation on the battlefield with his own eyes.

As the guard said, the thousands of cavalry led by Colonel Zuo, although the offensive was fierce, did not have an advantage. The Qingzhou Army, although it is passively defensive, stands on two high grounds, and the archers can shoot without dead ends.

In this case, the consumption of cavalry is obviously more than that of the Qingzhou army.

Zhang Jaw said anxiously: "It can't go on like this." The enemy army is too cunning, standing on two high grounds, and our cavalry, even if they can win, will not be able to rush to the mountains to kill the enemy, right? ”

"General, what do you say?"

"Let's rush down now and destroy their archers!" Open jaw makes a bold decision.

"Just a dozen of us?"

The guards were shocked.

With a dozen people, face hundreds of people.

It's no different from sending people to death.

"Their archers, not armed with spears. The position we are in is not conducive to joint operations, and if we launch a sudden attack, we will certainly receive miraculous results. Besides, if we have a dozen here, won't it be easy for Zuo Colonel there? ”

"We listen to the general."

"Okay, come with me..." With his jaw open, he dragged his long knife and ran towards a high ground on the left. There were more than 200 people there, all with their backs to the back hill, shooting at the battlefield.

Fifty paces from the high ground, he pressed his hand behind him and motioned for the soldiers behind him to move forward quietly.

Thirty steps.

Twenty steps.

Ten steps...

It wasn't until five steps that he waved his hand in front of him, but didn't speak.

The soldiers understood what he meant, and all of them quickly stepped forward, striking from behind and slashing the enemy. Zhang Jaw also raised the long knife and slashed it continuously: "Puff puff..." ”

This wave of attacks can be described as a surprise.

In just a few breaths, more than forty enemies were killed. The guards brought by the open jaw, each of them killed more than two people. Open jaw and kill five!

"There are enemies in the back, everyone be careful..." Eventually, it was discovered.

The enemy troops on the high ground all turned around, abandoned their bows and arrows, and drew their swords to fight.

"Kill..." Zhang Jaw knew that the disguise could not be continued, and ordered to attack. Due to the advantage of standing and raiding, after the enemy army found out, it still took the initiative and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's archers.

"Look, it's the general..." Outside, the left colonel also found open jaws.

"Brothers, quickly attack and kill the enemy and join the general." Zuo Xiao couldn't help but be anxious.

Zhang Jaw is the commander of the entire army, deep behind enemy lines, extremely dangerous, once they encounter an accident, they will be finished. Even if you pay heavy casualties, you have to break through the enemy's defenses and fight with Open Jaw.

"Pioneer battalion, rush over!" Colonel Zuo shouted.

The soldiers of the pioneer battalion also saw the open jaws, and they attacked and killed the enemy soldiers in front of them as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. The defense and heaviness of the heavy armored iron cavalry absolutely restrained the Qingzhou army, and it was only because of the joint operation of the Qingzhou army that they were slightly blocked. Originally, the high ground behind them could provide them with long-range protection, but now they were being attacked and killed by Open Jaw, which gave the vanguard battalion a chance to break through.

Puff puff...

Spears poked out and stabbed enemy soldiers.

The Qingzhou army's formation became more and more disorganized, and it was no longer possible to maintain the large formation.

Xiahou hurriedly shouted: "Disperse!" ”

"Stop them..."

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army no longer faced the enemy in formation, and after they dispersed, they fought separately.

If during the day, they will work in groups of three, fighting together, shields and spears, will work together seamlessly. But at night, joint operations are unrealistic, because the movements of comrades cannot be seen clearly, and the reaction will be slow. The consequence of slowing down against the powerful vanguard battalion is to be ruthlessly killed, so it is better to fight separately and fight for yourself.

The consequences of fighting for oneself are also beyond the imagination of the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army.

The vanguard battalion is the best at raiding and breaking the formation, even if they line up the formation, sooner or later they will be broken through, and now without the formation, it is like losing the barrier, losing the shield of defense, and being forcibly broken through by the vanguard battalion.

And behind the vanguard battalion, there were four thousand light horsemen, most of whom were armed with bows and arrows, shooting at the front. Of course, after the appearance of Zhang Jaw, they no longer attacked the high ground, for fear of accidental injury with bows and arrows, but dealt a heavy blow to the Qingzhou army in front.

Light cavalry and heavy armor combine for a strong surprise attack.

Xiahou Chong quickly felt that the Qingzhou army was no more than a few thousand elite cavalry.

After careful consideration, he decided to retreat first.

After all, the Qingzhou Army is a veteran battalion with a history, and it cannot be damaged here, which is not only the soul of the elite of the imperial court, but also the morale of the imperial army.
