The sun is setting in the west.

The Baibo Army, or the Hedong Army, walked twenty miles in half a day from Xiangling, and encountered repeated bites from the cavalry of the Youzhou Army along the way. But even so, the leaders of the White Polish army made a quick decision and immediately organized an attack.

This is not stupidity, on the contrary, this is the manifestation of the outstanding military qualities of these leaders of the Hedong Army, who, like the Youzhou Army on the other side, know very well where the lives of both the enemy and our enemies are, and where their strengths are, and then they made this decision.

Think about it, Hedong is located in the north of the Yellow River, north of the Xiongnu, west of the Qiang, has always been an important source of soldiers of the Han Empire, one of the famous Three Rivers Knight is the Hedong Knight...... It is not for nothing that Guan Yu and Xu Huang originated here, and it is not for nothing that Jia Kui's family is so poor that they still have a family tradition of learning the art of war.

In fact, the demonstration of the excellent tactical literacy of the Hedong Army did not end there:

The two armies faced each other in the north and south, and when Li Kan led his headquarters out and came to the south of the Gaoliang Pavilion camp to line up, soon two more Baibo armies began to assemble at the same time, one under the banner of Korean characters, about three or four thousand troops went to the west side of Li Kan's army array, as if they wanted to attack Li Kan from the west side of the camp; However, another army of five or six thousand people under the banner of Yang Zi came to the east side of Li Kan's army with a spear, a big shield and a bow and crossbow...... Obviously, this is to support the two parts of the attacking camp, to prevent the cavalry of the Youzhou Army assembled on the east side from suddenly jumping in, and to play the classic and most practical hammer anvil tactics in front of the camp.

Even, at the same time as these three troops were in formation, other subordinates of the White Polish Army began to prepare behind...... Obviously, it is necessary to take over the front military formation at any time, either offensive or defensive.

This is not counting, Gongsun Xun saw clearly on the high platform in the middle of the camp, a force without any banner also began to disperse from the rear of the Baibo Army, and then went in the direction of Fenshui on his side, I don't know whether he wanted to arm or find something or simply explore the retreat road.

The troops and horses of each department are scattered, the attack and defense are merged, and there are other preparations...... The basic military qualities of the other side's high-ranking officers are indeed very good.

"The Korean flag should be the department of the great man Han Xian in Jicheng." Wei Qi saw the military formation in front of him stirring, and hurriedly said again. "Yang Ziqi should be the Xiangling tycoon Yang Feng, this is a person with great courage and wisdom...... Especially Yang Feng, this person is second only to the leader Guo Tai in the Baibo army, and he also has a lot of knowledge on weekdays, and he is a temporary figure in the county. ”

When Gongsun Xun heard the word Yang Feng, he nodded his head somewhat, but he still said the same thing: "Let's watch it!" ”

Wei Qi was immediately speechless, so he stood on the stage with many military officials of the Chinese army, watching the battle from afar.

Under the spring sun at noon, after Yang Feng personally led his troops and horses to form a formation to cut off the Youzhou cavalry in the east, he almost wasted any time, and Li Kanbu took the lead in attacking the camp frontally, while Han Xian's troops had just gone west at this time.

"The enemy is cunning!" Lou Gui looked at it from afar, but he saw the clue first. "Although Han and Li are flanking attacks, there are first and last, and there are positive and sideways...... If our army ignores Han Xian's actions and focuses on the frontal Li Kanbu, the flank will be weak, and the Baibo Army will inevitably send reinforcements to aid Han Xian on the flank and break the village from the side! And if they are attracted by Han Xian's department and send troops and horses to the flanks to deal with it, maybe there will be support from the front immediately. ”

"There's another way of saying it." Tian Feng interjected with his hands folded beside him. "It's good to have an endless view on the plain, but the other party came in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to build a high platform, and his vision was blocked by the camp, and he could only see the frontal army, and I was afraid that there was an ambush in the camp on the flank in the west, so he let Han Xian's department go slowly and also as a reconnaissance."

"Not bad." Lou Gui immediately twisted his beard and jaw. "What Brother Yuan Hao said is very true, but no matter what, he is afraid that he still underestimates Gao Su......"

Just as the two of them were talking, suddenly, there was a loud noise from the position in front of the camp in front, and then the entire Baibo army formation actually made a noise together!

Seventy or eighty thousand people shouted together, which was simply earth-shaking and magnificent, which was in stark contrast to the silent Han army camp defenders.

Of course, all the people on the stage, except for one Wei Qi and a few scribes who joined from Taiyuan, really had no military affairs, so they were a little frightened, and the rest were all cold bystanders.

Since this clamor has risen, it is difficult to suppress it any longer, and the warriors selected by Li Kanbu have repeatedly boosted their morale in such a state of uproar of the whole army...... And wear perseverance and forge ahead. In Russia, countless soldiers shouted and cheered, and at the same time, they followed closely behind, and rushed straight towards the Youzhou military camp that was only three or four hundred steps away.

It seems that this army, which lacks golden drums, really wants to replace the drums with sound, and then go down with one drum.

But immediately, with the noise behind him, Li Kanbu's offensive fell into an embarrassing and deadly stagnation.

Specifically, it was still two hundred paces away from the camp and more than a hundred paces away from the dense antlers in front of the camp, and the vanguard of this army plunged headlong into several successive scattered trenches.

These trenches, about the width of a man's body, cannot be jumped over, and cannot be covered with a large shield alone...... In fact, these trenches can be seen, and those White Polish troops are mentally prepared to pay the price for these trenches and the antler array behind them.

However, they never expected that these trenches, which they thought they would only have to jump down and climb over, were too deep!

How deep is it?

How deep is it! And the inner wall is tamped and smooth, and it is too difficult to climb out with bare hands!

Li Kanbu's selection warriors will definitely not fall to death or be injured if they fall in, but if they want to climb out again, they have to stack Arhats!

In fact, the auxiliary soldiers of the Youzhou Army who dug the pit at that time simply used a ladder to climb up...... But what is even more terrifying is that there is more than one such trench, and they are scattered, of different lengths, densely packed, until they reach the antler formation a hundred paces away in front of the camp gate.

The sergeants of the Baibo Army of Li Kanbu finally climbed out of the trench, or found a winding road in the trench, worked hard, and then came to the dense antler array, but they had to pull out the antlers with their bare hands, and at this time, they were already within the range of the Youzhou Army's long-range attack because they were approaching the camp for a hundred steps.

After the camp, the Han army's auxiliary soldiers threw arrows intensively and landed in the formation of Li Kansuo, who was unable to move...... The sergeant to which the latter belonged needed to remove the antlers on the one hand, and on the other hand, they needed to watch out for the rain of arrows on their heads, some were nailed to the same place, and some tried to escape, but they were hindered by the trench behind them, and they could not easily retreat!

It was just a moment, in terms of the front of the battle, the wailing replaced the previous shouting and killing, and the Youzhou army was still calm.

The Han Xian division in the west also began to attack, but as in the front, it fell into the attrition of this complex fortification.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this kind of small trick is not worth a lot in a big battle, but in today's situation, it is a weapon to delay time!

Li Kan and Han Xian, who were in command in the south and west of the camp, and Guo Tai, who had just boarded a temporary high platform, although there were some firsts and lasts, they all woke up a little.

Together, they realized that the problem was not in these strange but effective trenches, but in the fact that the whole battle was under the control of Gongsun Xun...... This well-known General Wei made a comprehensive plan and preparation for the weakness of the White Polish Army from the very beginning.

What are the advantages of the White Polish Army?

Of course, there is the numerical superiority and outstanding individual quality, as well as the military quality of high-ranking commanders...... So correspondingly, what is their weakness, or destiny?

The answer is simple, it's establishment!

This army lacks a sufficiently effective military formation! Their troops are structured in clans and townships, and large-scale war groups are formed around the local heroes and powers in Hedong, and then each leader directly obeys Guo Tai's command, and then these war groups complete the corresponding military tasks...... This is not a very bad thing in small-scale battles, and even became an advantage for a while because of the mutual support within the wargroup and the characteristics that are not easy to collapse, but in large-scale army battles, it is extremely cumbersome!

When the cavalry suffered heavy losses before, Yang Feng said to Xu Huang that in that case, both Guo Tai and those big tycoons actually noticed the danger after the large-scale loss of the cavalry, but they could only bite the bullet and let the troops continue to march to the Sorghum Pavilion for a decisive battle...... Why?

It was not because after the loss of cavalry, the command system of the White Polish Army, which was already lacking golden drums, became more and more scattered.

In other words, Gongsun Xun had this intention at the beginning of the attack on the opponent's cavalry troops, and the reason why he was able to defeat the opponent's cavalry and create his current advantage was precisely because the opponent lacked an effective command system and military structure.

Both sides are trying to expand on their strengths and then tear open each other's lives, but there is no doubt that from the beginning of the morning to the current attack, the attack has been frustrated...... The Youzhou Army has always been successful, while the White Wave Army has not yet made progress.

"Send someone to meet the two generals Li Kan and Han Xianam!" Guo Tai, whose head was wrapped in a yellow scarf, stood on the high platform that was hurriedly piled up, and his expression was very interesting, his face was obviously a little more worried, but his tone was still calm, but the words he said seemed to be very angry. "Ask them for me, there are no cavalry, and we can't take the camp, there are so many of us, we don't even have a foothold on the plain...... When it gets dark, the opposing cavalry gathers and rushes towards the Chinese army, how can we survive? When the time comes, 100,000 rebellious soldiers will be crushed like cattle and sheep, and tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry will trample on them, will their lives be saved? Why hesitate? Why not all the troops press? ”

The two horsemen hurriedly took the order, and at this time, another horse came to report from the direction of Fenshui.

"How?" Mrs. Guo recognized this person from afar, and hurriedly inquired about it.

"Back to Guo Shuai, there are no trees!" The cavalryman was out of breath, but he had no choice but to answer. "That forest has been cut down by the Youzhou soldiers, I'm afraid it has become the camp fence and watchtower of the Youzhou soldiers!"

"Expected." Mrs. Guo maintained a certain posture in the end. "Where are the reeds by the Fenshui five miles away?"

"It was also deforested." The cavalry continued to report helplessly. "I went to see it myself...... The reeds along the river were also cut down by the Youzhou Army in advance, and they couldn't even make fires and torches temporarily! Guo Shuai, on the way back, Wang Xiaoshuai asked me to tell you that if we can't capture the camp of the Youzhou Army before dark and use it as a foothold, we are afraid that we will be defeated today. ”

Mrs. Guo finally became a little more serious again, but she was still helpless: "It's also expected, after all, he is a famous general...... So it's still the same thing, and you still have to desperately take down the camp in front of you. ”

"That ......"

"You stay!" Mrs. Guo shook her head for a while, but she gave the order again. "Go to the people again, go to the front to see Yang Feng, Cheng Yin, Li Le, Hu Cai, and Hou Xuan, and tell them that they can't set up a village or even prepare torches...... Then go and ask these generals and little marshals for me, isn't this battle what they want to fight? Why are you still lucky at this time?! Why don't you fight to the death?! ”

Except for the horse that just came back, the only few cavalry in the Chinese military department galloped away, going everywhere to give orders, and Mrs. Guo still had that serious, tired and relaxed strange posture, whether it was calm or awe-inspiring, in short, it was standing on this messy platform and not speaking.

Li Kan in front was far from being as disregarded as Guo Tai's mouth, in fact, long before Guo Tai's heralds arrived, his people took a series of measures to strengthen the offensive.

The whole army pressed up, the supervising team stepped forward, and more importantly, Li Kan, as the general of the first army, actually crossed the complex trench with his waist knife, came to the front, and personally braved the rain of arrows to pull out the antlers!

Several guards held large shields to shield him from the rain of arrows, and a flag marked with the word 'Li' was also planted alone...... It's a morale-boosting act and it's effective.

After all, the armies of these Hedong tycoons were originally privately owned, and Li Kan's department was originally formed around Li Kan himself, so since his people did not care about life and death, no one in his department dared to retreat or leave, and the speed of removing antlers was greatly increased with the efforts of regardless of casualties.

Finally, after half an hour had passed, when the sun was obviously setting in the west, after throwing down an unknown number of corpses, Li Kan finally struggled to send the soldiers to the camp. At this time, Han Xian in the west had just begun to pull out his antlers, or he had just begun to be killed by arrows.

"The Hedong boy has a bit of courage to fight." Gongsun Xun watched it for a long time, and finally laughed. "But the unfortunate state has forced such outstanding soldiers to the position of anti-thieves, and the Huns and Wuhuan have become my minions when I am in chaos...... It's also the time and the fate! ”

"That's why we have to help the crisis and chaos!" Someone spoke up next to him.

But that's just this sentence, because as soon as the words fell, I saw a sudden wave in front of the camp...... Just before Li Kan's department had just removed the dense antlers that were more than 50 steps wide and came to the camp, the camp gates that already seemed to be relatively large on the camp wall suddenly opened one after another. Then the infantry commander of the Youzhou Army, Gao Shun and Gao Suqing, who were two thousand stone captains, actually personally led more than a thousand armor soldiers to kill head-on!

The war drums were rumbling, the banners were clear, the iron armor was dazzling, the swords and guns were flashing, and the camp of the Gao Shun Division, which had been waiting behind the archers for a long time, was almost like a fierce tiger, killing and injuring countless people in just an instant.

Li Kan and his subordinates have worked so hard to get to this point, they are already exhausted, and they are caught off guard at this time, so they naturally retreat instantly!

However, when they turned to flee, they were stopped by the ditch behind them, some of them fell into the ditch in panic, and some of them stopped in panic, but they couldn't stop at all, and they could only be pushed into the ditch by later people and trampled to death.

Behind him, the Chengyin Department in the east of the river, and some of the rear troops of Li Kan's department, who had not crossed the ditch, moved forward one after another, trying to respond, but they were also blocked by several ridiculous ditches in this area.

At the critical moment, in the midst of the screams, Li Kan screamed hard, although he couldn't hear his specific words, it was obvious that he was ordering the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to roll back with him, and not to sell his back to the Youzhou army in vain.

Gao Shun personally went out of the camp to counterattack, and he saw it clearly, how could he not understand that this person was the leader of this army? Then he did not speak, nor did he personally meet the battle, but at a distance, more than a hundred armor soldiers rushed away from behind him with shields and spears.

And Li Kan was not afraid when he saw this, but directly took out his blade, rushed head-on, and tried to fight hand-to-hand.

However, when these more than 100 armor soldiers came to Li Kan's group of soldiers, they did not fight them directly, but suddenly turned over and erected a big shield, formed a shield formation, and pushed forward with all their might.

Li Kan was dumbfounded, his people were the same as his subordinates, they had no martial arts and bravery, but they were regressed all the way by the more disciplined Gao Shun Department with this method of forming a formation, and finally pushed into the ditch hard, and then was pierced in the chest by the blade of a soldier under him, and was smashed down by his own guard!

Only pity a dignified Hedong tycoon with thousands of soldiers, in another time and space, his people even once seized some counties in Guanzhong after the disbandment of the Baibo Army, and occupied Ruwu...... Now he was suffocated alive in this pile of corpses, and he couldn't even make a sound.

He was Chinese New Year's Eve at the age of thirty-three.

More than 100 steps away, across several ditches, Cheng Yin watched his fellow villagers and colleagues die so badly, and he was also cold.

After Li Kan died, the shortcomings of the military structure of the Baibo Army were once again revealed, and its troops lost their ability to resist almost instantly, and the more than 1,000 armor soldiers of the Gaoshun headquarters marched forward bravely, almost killing and wounding these people in the open space between the ditch and the camp almost like a massacre.

Cheng Yin instinctively wanted to shoot the archers to cover one or two across the ditch, but at this time he found out that the width of the antlers in front of the Youzhou military camp, the width of the horse, the width of the ditch, and the width of the ditch area were all carefully calculated...... Several ditches, about a hundred paces wide together, are exactly the effective killing distance of ordinary bows and arrows, and his bows and arrows are useless.

Sensing this, Cheng Yin became more and more frustrated.

But what is even more frustrating is still behind, just in front of Li Kanbu or died or fled, after leaving the area in front of the camp, Gao Shun did not love to fight, and with a wave of his hand, he Mingjin withdrew his troops and turned into the camp fence. Then there were a large number of auxiliaries carrying horses and antlers that had been prepared long ago, and quickly piled them up in the open space in front of the camp.

The ditch area was filled with wails and cries for help, and then many living people escaped for their lives and crawled back from the corpses or bodies of their companions...... In this situation, it was impossible to enter the army, and after seeing the Youzhou army re-stacking the antlers, almost instantly, Cheng Yin almost had a feeling of despair and collapse.

Knowing that there is such a big sacrifice to be made in front of you, do you want to repeat what happened before?

I know that there is a ditch in front of me, and I have to jump!

I know that the rejection of horses and antlers in front of me needs to be exchanged for their lives, and then they have to be exchanged!

Knowing that the other party has an elite armor in the camp in ambush, and will fight back in the narrow battlefield when you are most tired, do you still want to send you to death?

It's not that you can't sacrifice, it's not that you can't die, but at least you have to see progress, right?!

Progress is still there!

The Han Xian Department in the west made excellent progress, but when they encountered a counterattack by the Youzhou army, they forcibly held on...... The soldiers of the Youzhou Army in ambush here are not as terrible as those on the front side, and Jiao Touch is not a little worse than Gao Shun, so the two sides actually killed with a sound and impressive sound.

However, that's all, after Gao Shun easily defeated Li Kanbu in front of him, he immediately turned from the camp to the west according to the flag prompt on the high platform, and then broke through the battle, and once again staged a bloody game of shield array pushing people...... The only difference is that Han Xian, who got Cheng Yin's summons, escaped back with his guards with a shield as soon as possible, and was not pushed into the pit to be a dead ghost!

And his troops continued to maintain their combat effectiveness because of his survival.

Yang Feng stood on his horse, and he was clear about the failure of the attack behind him, but hundreds of steps in front of his human army, nearly 20,000 Youzhou cavalry who dismounted and rested, made it even more difficult for him to breathe.

"Komeito!" Yang Feng looked back and said. "It's urgent...... As Guo Shuai said, if there is no place to stand before dark, these 80,000 or 90,000 troops can only be reduced to the ghosts of cavalry! Go and tell Cheng Yin that it won't work hard if you don't work hard! ”

Xu Huang reluctantly reminded: "The fortifications of the Youzhou soldiers are too good, those ditches ......"

"It's what it means to let them spare their lives and fill them with corpses!" Yang Feng suddenly lost control of his emotions. "They know it, too!"

"They are all from Hedong Township!" Xu Huang looked solemn.

"But once the battle is defeated, will there be fewer dead villagers?!" Yang Feng is still convincing. "Do you think that as soon as the sun goes down and these 20,000 cavalry rush in front of you, how many people will we die?! From the very beginning of this battle, after the Youzhou army seized the fighter plane and attacked our cavalry head-on, everything was over! They are well-intentioned, pressing step by step, we have no way out! ”

Xu Gongming was gloomy, he wanted to say something, he knew this was the case, wouldn't it be good to listen to Mrs. Guo's dodge north of Fenshui? Then I thought that I had supported the decisive battle because my home was south of the Fen River, but I was speechless.

It's like the two generals of the Youzhou Army before asking why they were thieves, which is simply an unsolvable question.

Of course, it's wrong to be a thief, but when most of Hedong County is a thief, and all the people you know on both sides of the Fenshui River are thieves, how can you not be a thief?

It can only be said that current affairs are like this, and you can't complain about it! The way of this world is to force good people into thieves!

However, I heard that Guan Yuguan Changsheng, the little brother who was taken care of by himself in Hedong in the past, is now a general! What is this? Does creation make people?

Xu Huang's various thoughts were thought of when he turned around to personally replace Yang Feng to pass the message. And after his people passed on the message back and forth on the battlefield, they quickly went to war for the second time!

Cheng Yin thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and began to drive Li Kan's remnants forward, while on the other side, Han Xian's department was exempted because of Han Xian's survival, and another handsome person took over his attack...... It can only be said that even in the face of the terrible consequences of the collapse of the entire army, the bad influence of this military structure is still difficult to eliminate.

The sun is not slanting in the west, and the bravery and fearlessness of the Hedong Army are gradually being consumed in the cruel war of attrition, but there is no second way to think of!

Correspondingly, Gao Shun and Gao Suqing were in full swing throughout the afternoon, leading their most trusted and outstanding more than 1,000 elite armor to take advantage of the time difference between the two sides to fight in the camp...... And with the assistance of the banner on the high platform of the camp, he has repeatedly struck successfully!

In one afternoon, he successfully counterattacked more than ten times, and the Bai Bojun who killed him was terrified when he saw 'Gao'. And at this time, the top and bottom of the Baibo army suddenly realized that this infantry general surnamed Gao was actually attacking and defending!

However, after more than a dozen counterattacks, the Youzhou army finally began to suffer large-scale battle losses...... The trench does not need to be filled with corpses, half of it is filled, and then a shield can be placed to step on, and later, even the tactic of using a spear as a bracket and then placing a shield to build a 'pontoon bridge' was invented; The arrows are shot out repeatedly, and after two pots of arrows, the arms will be numb, and then the projectile speed will be greatly slowed down; What's more, the attack of the elite infantry is hand-to-hand combat after all, although it is a bully of the strong and the weak, but after more than ten times, even Gao Shun's well-trained headquarters gradually can't support it, and then causes battle damage, not to mention that there are only more than 1,000 elites in such a decisive decision, and the remaining 5,000 infantry soldiers are far inferior.

"Send back those captives who fought Yang County and Gaoliang Pavilion before." Gongsun Xun had been silent for an afternoon, but he suddenly spoke. "Tell them I'll allow them to collect the body......"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Tian Feng and Lou Gui looked at each other, even Wei Qi, who was already stunned, was a little incomprehensible.

"General!" Tian Feng replied angrily. "It's already red-eyed, they won't believe such a superficial delaying strategy...... Instead of using this method, it is better to pull up all the more than 10,000 auxiliaries of the rear battalion as the general reserve to assist in the defense! Or simply let the cavalry, who had had enough rest, go to the camp and go to the west to do the expulsion, so as to relieve the pressure of the foot soldiers. ”

"Just do what I say." Gongsun Xun didn't care.

"Whoa!" Lou Zibo originally wanted to object, but suddenly he seemed to understand what Gongsun Xun meant, and actually bowed his head and said yes.

The position of the sun can already be called sunset, but the sunset in spring should continue for a while, and perhaps the next moment the camp will suddenly change hands...... After all, there are too many White Polish troops, and there are still countless new forces that can step forward to take over the battle at this time.

The captives were soon released from the east camp gate with Gongsun Xun's message, and then most of them came to Yang Feng's array.

And sure enough, Yang Feng laughed angrily, didn't pay attention to it at all, and didn't even let these people talk to Mrs. Guo and those red-eyed little handsome.

"Prince, what should I do?" As Gao Shun stopped an attack again at the cost of more than 100 elites, Lou Gui on the high platform had no choice but to ask. "The thief army is not in a plan, and there are too many troops, should we mobilize the rear battalion auxiliaries to come over, or send cavalry to support the battalion, or let Yigong concentrate the cavalry now?!"

"I don't have to!" Gongsun Xun spoke calmly, but it was Huo Ran who stood up with his knife. "If the war is like this, what is the value of human life? Enough people have died today...... Blow the trumpet, gather the whole army, and I will personally end this battle! ”

On the high platform, everyone in the Chinese army was terrified, and a moment later, as the countless horns in the Youzhou military camp suddenly blew in unison, seeing that the white horse flag on the high platform and its umbrella cover began to move at the same time, the white wave army was almost terrified.

—————I am the terrifying dividing line of the whole army—————

"And Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, Taizu of this dynasty raised troops to conquer, to the east of the river, the Baibo bandits gathered more than 100,000 people, and the Hedong soldiers were good at fighting, and the Youzhou army was more than 20,000 hanging, or worried. In the battle, the Youzhou Assault Cavalry first covered the Hedong Cavalry, and the Hedong Infantry revisited the Youzhou camp very much, the ditch was filled, the dead and wounded pillows, and the military officials in the army were afraid of the soldiers, and they were terrified on the high platform. When the battle reached sunset, Taizu exhaled, wanting to calm himself, and the left and right sides were stunned and blocked by the danger of the military array. Taizu Nai personally held the arc arrow and said: "My trip, if this shooting!" "Then sit on a high platform and hang the armor to shoot from afar, the arrow goes and the middle armor, the disciples belong to the eyes, know their determination, they are willing to follow, and with the matter of the middle armor, its anger is ten times." ——"The World Speaks New Words". Bold chapter
