Chapter 177: Under siege
Youzhou Zhishu, Beiping, Liu Yi stabbed Shi Mansion at this time is a busy scene, from time to time there are soldiers running in and out to deliver news, but the footsteps are light, silent, Zhang Hu and Xi Zhicai in the lobby are looking at the map of Youji Erzhou hanging high and in the soup.
"Zicai, the second general sent an envoy to report that after Gongsun Du occupied Qingyin, he was gradually deepening, but this person is cautious in nature, and his speed is slow!" Xi Zhicai has completely recovered his health under Hua Tuo's conditioning, and his body shape is a little better than before.
"You might as well inform the second general and Zhongfu, let them spread the word to the soldiers, and say that the lord is coming!" Zhang Hu was wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt at this time, and he looked even more calm and chic.
"Zicai is not afraid that General Gongsun will not dare to enter an inch when he hears this?" Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
"Zhicai deceived me, the art of war has a way of fiction and reality, the whereabouts of the lord, I think someone has already passed it on to him, why don't you and I bluff?" Zhang Hu said.
"Hehe, if you want to cover it, the son is easy to calculate, according to the two strategies you and Fengxiao offered, how will the main guild act?" Xi Zhicai said that he also directly ordered someone to go and pass on the two generals Gan Ning and Yan Gang.
"The lord is good at using soldiers, more good at surprising, is in harmony with filial piety, although the plan of filial piety is dangerous, but once it is successful, its benefits are great, with the temperament of the lord this time must be with one of the votes, why should there be such a question?" Zhang Hu's tone was extremely affirmative.
"There is a hint of dissatisfaction in Zicai's words, is it jealous that filial piety is close to the lord?" Xi Zhicai and Zhang Hu have been together for many years since Yingchuan, and they have long had nothing to say, and they joked at the moment.
"Feng Xiao is Wang Zuo's talent, when it comes to things in the army, there are many tigers that are not as good as them, soldiers are treacherous, Feng Xiao is the right hand of the lord! It's just that his nature is surprisingly dangerous, and the main public security is in danger, but it is a matter of the overall situation, and I will definitely talk to Fengxiao when I come back this time. Zhang Huzheng said.
"Fengxiao's temperament has always been like this, but Zicai is also too modest, if you act steadily and take care of everything, who is there in the main army who can compare with Zicai? This time, Guo Fengxiao took risks, and if there were any shortcomings, he would have to fill in the gaps for him. Xi Zhicai also knows these two friends very well, Zhang Hu has a stable temperament, Guo Jia is smart and good at taking the sword, and the two complement each other even better.
"Zhicai, for the main public security crisis, I intend to let Bo Ming lead the Qinglong Battalion to the realm of seclusion, and respond to the lord at any time, but although Bo Ming is making rapid progress, it is not enough to take this position, and the two generals of Ganyan are trying their best to deal with Gongsun Du, and they can't leave lightly, only... After Zhang Hu finished speaking, he looked at Xi Zhicai.
"The overall situation of this battle should be in charge of Zicai, and let me accompany Bo Ming to take over the matter." Xi Zhicai naturally knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, Zhou Cang was brave, but he was not a leading general.
"If you have the ambition to go to Bo Ming, I can rest assured, this battle is very important, and there is really no room for a little difference, Zhicai, I want you and Bo Ming to move quickly."
"Zicai can rest assured that there is the Qinglong Camp in hand, if there is a crisis, I have my own way to make Yuan Benchu unable to take care of each other, Zicai take care." Xi Zhicai is ready to go after speaking.
"My lord, the tiger is convinced that you will be able to save the day." Zhang Hu stood with his hands in his hands and muttered to himself.
Besides, after Liu Yi and Guo Jia discussed, the army also marched to Luoxian, on the way Liu Yi recalled Xu Huang, replaced the front soldiers with Zhang Niujiao to surrender the army, and a thousand heavy cavalry led by Zhao Yun, Zhang Niujiao as the deputy, and also informed Zilong of the arrangement, this thousand cavalry is the use of his return to the battle.
In the final analysis, what Liu Yi believes most is the two battalions of soldiers led by Xu Huang and Zhang He, many of whom are fighting with him in the south and the north, plus his own personal guard battalion and more than 1,000 iron cavalry, he did not take the outnumbered situation too seriously, after all, if Yuan Shao does not come forward publicly, the combat power of the Yellow Turban soldiers must not be compared with Cao Cao's army!
Zhang He, Xu Huang, Tai Shici and other generals also knew the strategy of this battle, for them to fall into a heavy siege is commonplace, there is a lord, let him kill thoroughly, why be afraid? It was this kind of calmness before the war that made Liu Yi more appreciative of the three generals, and during the march, Liu Yi officially appointed Tai Shi Ci as the commander of the personal guard battalion, for which Ziyi was grateful, and Guan Hai knew that Tai Shi Ci was brave, and he did not have any dissatisfaction as a deputy, but took great care of Tai Shi Ci.
Of course, the soldiers didn't know at this time, and Liu Yi would not tell him about it until before the war, the war was imminent, and the military situation was a matter of life and death, and safety was the first priority.
As Guo Jia expected, Zhang Yan really left a hand and informed Sun Guan, Yin Li and others to shoot together, although the two were deeply afraid of Liu Yi's bravery, but this time it was indeed a godsend, and Liu Yi's weight in the army made them covet, so after a few thoughts, they still took risks! Originally, it was difficult for them to catch up with Liu Yijun's trip, but Liu Jun walked very slowly because of the burden, which also allowed them to set up an ambush in the suburbs of Luoxian County in time before Liu Yi, and thought that this was the will of God.
This time it was to fight with Liu Yi and Liu Langsheng, and the two of them poured out 70,000 soldiers, plus Zhang Yan's department, a total of 100,000 people, and Yuan Shaojun's secret help, everything was ready, just wait for Liu Yi's men and horses to enter the ambush circle, and they can attack them together.
At noon, there was already a report from Malay, saying that Xu Huang's vanguard had arrived in Luo County, and several people hurriedly reorganized the army and followed the plan, thinking that they could defeat the world-famous Liu Langsheng, their hearts were inexplicably excited, although Liu Yi had the reputation of winning a hundred battles, how could he not win ten against one?
"Brother Sun, I think this Liu Langsheng's great reputation is false, and he must be captured today to avenge the countless brothers who died in his hands." Seeing Liu Yi's army stepping into the ambush circle unnoticed, Yin Li was relieved and said with a smile.
"Hehe, there is a mental calculation or not, and it is a multi-party joint attack, I'm afraid Liu Yi's children will be difficult to fly." Although they heard Liu Yi's name when they were in the yellow scarf, they had never fought in the battle array, and if they were resurrected, they could see the clues.
Liu Yi held the blood dragon halberd and rode the dark cloud cover snow in the forefront, last night he had ordered the powerful person of Tian'er to forcibly send Guo Jia away, thinking that with the ability of Tian'er, escorting Guo Jia alone should be no big problem. At this time, with his martial intuition, he could also slightly feel the murderous aura around him, and sure enough, after a while, he suddenly heard a cannon sound, and countless yellow turban soldiers flashed out of all directions, overwhelmingly killing Liu Yijun. At this time, the smiles on the faces of Sun Guan and Yin Li were even worse, in their eyes, the current Liu Yi was already in a catastrophe!
However, as the battle progressed, they soon saw that something was wrong, although they were besieged by an enemy several times their size, but Liu Yijun did not show any signs of chaos, the soldiers were well-trained to form a circle, and the shield bearers and spearmen and broadswordsmen stood in a staggered manner, facing the enemy, standing still. The archers in the circle were also in formation, observing the ruler and preparing to launch, Sun Guan Yin Li was far away and couldn't see clearly, but the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed to the front could see that the opponent's face was not afraid or panicked, but they were all excited.
In a blink of an eye, the Yellow Turban Army had rushed to a hundred steps in front of Liu Yi's array, and at this time, arrows began to shoot out from within the circular array, although they were not dense, but the accuracy was extremely high, and almost every arrow could hit the target, and there was no waste. A hundred paces away is an instant for the battle formation, but the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed to the front of the formation found that the enemy's movements were uniform, and each time several spears stabbed at themselves at the same time, they couldn't prevent it, and in a moment the corpse of the Yellow Turban soldiers had fallen in front of the formation, but Liu Yijun was rarely injured. Where have these Yellow Turban soldiers seen such an elite Han army? They originally wanted to come up to chop melons and vegetables, but they were stunned at this time and did not dare to step forward.
"Damn, there are really some doorways, but they are just so many, I don't believe that they can't die, brothers, go on, kill one enemy, reward one thousand, capture Liu Yi alive, and reward one hundred taels of gold." Sun Guan shouted loudly, and also offered a price code to his subordinates.
The so-called "money can make ghosts grind", this principle works no matter in that dynasty, those Yellow Turban soldiers heard such a reward, they all went forward bravely, and there were more and more people who rushed to the round formation and Liu Yijun's short soldiers, not only that, Sun Guan and Yin Li and other leaders were also approaching the battlefield, and organized people to supervise the battle, and beheaded those soldiers who escaped from the battle.
With such a two-pronged approach, the offensive of the Yellow Turban soldiers became more violent, although the casualties further increased, it also brought a certain amount of pressure to Liu Yi's round formation, after all, the disparity in numbers was too great, and the outermost soldiers of the round formation had already begun to have casualties.
Liu Yi stood in the middle of the formation, without the slightest expression on his face, seeing that the enemy's offensive was gradually becoming fierce, but he was angry and dantian tongue bloomed spring thunder: "Turn!" ”
