Chapter 420: The Black Flag Army Under Siege
Fan Lihua took the county lieutenants, walked aside, and said with a smile: "Now there is a great merit in front of you, I don't know if you dare to take it?" ”
"The general has something to say. I'll never give up! ”
The county lieutenants got the benefits of Fan Lihua, and no matter how embarrassed they refused, they all expressed their willingness to obey.
Fan Lihua said: "Okay." Early tomorrow morning, I will ambush Yuan Shao on Poyang Slope. You go and prepare a large number of rolling wood stones, and then join me to attack Yuan Shao. ”
"Admiral, we have already ambushed Yuan Jun here once. Wouldn't it be too risky to set up an ambush in the same place? Huyang County Lieutenant asked.
"yes, yes..."
Everyone was a little worried.
In case Yuan Shao sent someone to investigate and found the ambush soldiers on the Poyang slope, how could the consequences be unimaginable?
It was precisely because of the previous ambush that Yuan Shao would not have thought that in the same place, there would be another ambush. His mind is now all in Tan County. Because he knew that after Mu Guiying broke through, he would definitely go there to garrison troops. Now he can't wait to put on his wings and fly over immediately, how can he have the time to explore this place? ”
"Since the general is full of confidence, I will obey the order..."
The county lieutenants felt that what Fan Lihua said was reasonable.
"Good. Go and get ready. ”
"No."
Although the topography of Poyang Slope is not difficult, it is not connected by mountain ranges. But there is a long slope that can push a large amount of rolling wood down and inflict heavy losses on the enemy.
On the surface, it seems that it is not easy to set up an ambush.
In fact, it is the best place to ambush.
The county lieutenants took the soldiers and quickly prepared the rolling wood and stones (they were all pushed down the mountain before, just pick them up).
Fan Lihua also ordered the Xuzhou army under his command to camp on the flank of Poyang Slope. Early tomorrow morning, after the Yuan army was ambushed, he rushed out, beat the water dogs, and then led the Yuan army to Tan County.
Next.
It's dawn.
The ambush soldiers on Poyang Slope took their places and cheered up.
"Newspaper... The enemy was twenty miles away. ”
The scouts sent out came back to report the news.
Fan Lihua called the county lieutenants and said, "Don't be in a hurry. When Yuan Xi's Black Flag Army or a large group of cavalry comes, it is not too late to push down the rolling wood. ”
"No."
The county lieutenants replied.
Yuan Shao received the news of Yuan Xi's defeat yesterday, and he was anxious, and when he heard that Mu Guiying had broken through the encirclement and fled to Tan County, he couldn't wait to fly to Tan County immediately. The 300,000 troops he brought with him were all moving forward at the fastest speed.
It's late afternoon.
Yuan Shao's 5,000 vanguard army marched to Poyang Slope.
The general who led the army was Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan.
Gao Gan once lobbied Jizhou to assassinate Shi Han Fu and cede Jizhou to Yuan Shao.
He was quite trusted and reused by Yuan Shao, and he was also a general under Yuan Shang. This trip led 5,000 Bingzhou troops, as the vanguard of the pursuit of Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying, and acted extremely quickly.
When he arrived at Poyangpo, he stopped and sneered: "I can't imagine that the famous Black Flag Army would be defeated in the hands of a group of county soldiers in such an inconspicuous and small place, it's really ridiculous." ”
"That's what the general said. After this battle, the king will value our first-class dead soldiers even more. The adjutant next to him said.
"Hmm."
The first deceased soldier is the elite formed by Yuan Shang, and it is also the army of high-ranking cadres.
If you want to talk about field battles and surprise battles, it may not be as good as Yuan Xi's Black Flag Army. However, when it comes to tackling tough battles and large-scale battles, they are not inferior. In particular, the defeat of Poyangpo gave the generals of the Bingzhou Army hope.
After stopping on the official road for a while, Gao Gan led 5,000 foot soldiers and continued to walk forward.
The ambush soldiers who were ambushed on the slope of Poyang, following Fan Lihua's instructions, simply endured and did not make a move. Seeing the 5,000 high-ranking people slip under their noses.
After half a column of incense.
Yuan Shao's army came, and it also stopped at the official road crossing.
Yuan Shao sat in the middle of the car, looked at Yuan Xi outside the car, and asked, "You are ambushed here?" ”
"Yes."
Yuan Xi covered his wound and said with some pain: "The child was only concerned about chasing Mu Guiying at that time, but he forgot to send someone to investigate. More than 2,000 soldiers of the Black Flag Army were lost, and I hope that my father will forgive my sins. ”
"Be careful later."
"No."
Yuan Xi answered, and said to the soldiers behind him, "Go and investigate." ”
"No need..."
Yuan Shao stopped the soldiers and said, "Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying, they won't be so stupid, they have already ambushed us once in Poyangpo, will they come back a second time?" The troops in their hands should be less than 30,000, and they have already gone to Tan County. We must hurry to Tanxian County, take advantage of their unstable foothold, and have no reinforcements, and quickly annihilate them! ”
"Yes. Father Wang is wise. ”
Yuan Xi had already made a mistake, how dare he question Yuan Shao's thoughts.
The queue continues on...
The county soldiers who were ambushed on the slope of Poyang watched Yuan Shao's car run over, but they didn't make a move.
Until the rear army's more than 20,000 light cavalry and 8,000 Black Flag troops entered the ambush site. Huyang County Lieutenant stood up and shouted, "Release the arrow!" Push the rolling logs down and kill them! ”
Whoosh...
Thundered...
Countless arrow feathers, rolling logs, and gravel smashed down the slope of Poyang.
Yuan Shao's cavalry was caught off guard and suffered a heavy blow. After the war horse was frightened, he ran wildly, rushing Yuan Shao's queue to pieces, and it was chaotic.
"Kill...!"
Fan Lihua led the Xuzhou Army from the east and southwest to meet the Black Flag Army.
The Black Flag Army had just suffered heavy losses, and its morale was somewhat low. In the same place, there were two ambushes. Now in the face of Fan Lihua's front and back attack, the situation is very bad.
And Yuan Shao's more than 20,000 light cavalry (Jizhou Army), although well equipped (all of them are the best horses presented by Youzhou), but the Jizhou Army has not experienced a major war, and the general who led the army, Chun Yuqiong, is a wine bag and rice bag. Seeing the rumbling stones and huge trees rolling down, the leader had already led the army to run. He didn't even know that Fan Lihua had killed from the east and southwest, and he didn't know the consequences of retreating.
(Note: Chun Yuqiong was the right lieutenant of one of the eight captains of the West Garden during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, along with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.) Later, he went to Hebei with Yuan Shao and became Yuan Shao's general, on the same level as Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan. Historically, he once guarded the black nest for Yuan Shao, but was defeated by Cao Cao's sneak attack, and he was beheaded by Cao Cao. )
Thundered...
Throw all the boulders and logs.
The lieutenant of Huyang County drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, although we are a local army, we must also show the momentum of a regular army, so that the general will be impressed by us. Obey my orders and kill them! ”
"Kill...!" The local army ambushed on the slope of Poyang also rushed out and bravely met the Black Flag Army.
The Black Flag Army was attacked from three sides, and the situation was very critical.
