Chapter 89: Assault on the Camp
Come and go faster, Wuhuan has escaped for five or six miles after a while, Li Damu just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly the ground under his feet shook violently, and the shouting of killing not far away rose again. He fixed his eyes and saw that on the rear flank, an iron horse galloping towards him like a sharp knife, this man rode a fresh-armored angry horse, murderous and awe-inspiring, and at a glance it was the elite of a hundred battles.
Li Damu felt bitter in his heart: You have a good plan, and others have also had a wall ladder.
Zhang Fei's heart is extremely happy, waiting for the rabbit, and playing with the enemy in the palm of his hand feels so fucking cool! The rotation of the Zhangba snake spear brought bursts of bloody wind and rain, which silenced the fierce Wuhuan people on weekdays, and did not dare to turn back and fight hard. His murderous intent was great, and his sharp spear was like a death scythe, either slashing or stabbing, sweeping or picking, drinking all the blood, killing all directions, and being extremely happy.
More than a thousand strong troops rushed and slaughtered, and soon tore a gap, dividing the Wuhuan cavalry, making it difficult for them to retreat calmly.
Knock knock! The drums beat suddenly, then the wheels creaked. The knife convoy of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly poured out, and hundreds of cold and shining knife carts lined up in four columns, and between the knife and cart columns, pikemen, crossbowmen, and sword and shield soldiers covered and cooperated, just like the way of coordinated combat in later generations, it was not exactly a copy of our saber convoy, but a local version that was improved according to the characteristics of the Yellow Turban Army.
After receiving most of the Wuhuan cavalry, the knife convoy immediately launched an attack on our cavalry.
Zhang Fei didn't expect the Yellow Turban Army to have such a backhand, he knew that he couldn't attack the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings, not to mention that in this battle, he and Guan Yu ambushed and eliminated more than a thousand Hu cavalry, and overfulfilled the task I gave them, and now there is no need to fight, so he immediately collected his troops and joined Guan Yu and moved to the next battlefield.
Chu Yan struggled with the enemy for more than half an hour, waiting left and right to see the friendly army attack, when he was upset and irritable, he suddenly received the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry was ambushed by the enemy halfway, and suffered heavy losses. He broke out in a cold sweat, it turned out that the other party had already seen through his plan, and he was still smug and smug following the enemy horse.
His face changed suddenly, since the enemy had already seen everything, why did he still accompany him to toss around here?
No, there must be a conspiracy in it.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted the order: "Withdraw, the whole army will retreat immediately!" ”
As soon as his order was given, the horn suddenly sounded loudly in the Tiger Army, and the whole cavalry changed its momentum, and divided into three columns, one in the middle to attack in a straight line, and the other two left and right outflanked their own wings, and actually wanted to wrap their own dumplings.
Chu Yan sighed in her heart, secretly exclaimed that it was not good, and hurriedly beat the horse and retreated.
Unexpectedly, before he could go far, there were shouts of killing in front of him: "Capture Chu Yan alive, don't let him run away again!" ”
Zhang Fei's more than 1,000 horsemen had already arrived, and the time was just right.
There was a siege in front, and there were chasing soldiers in the back, and thousands of Yellow Turban knights were in a dilemma.
I'm going to trap me, and I'm not going to let you succeed!" Chu Yan is a master who does not admit defeat, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he roared: "Serial horses attack, and open a bloody road for Lao Tzu!" ”
When the Yellow Turban soldiers heard this, they automatically moved a road, and in the dull sound of horses' hooves, they slowly galloped out of more than 100 tall horses, all of whom were dressed in heavy armor, and every group of five war horses was connected by leather ropes; The horses are all horses in the Western Regions, more than one size bigger than ordinary war horses, and the knights on the horses are all big men, with heavy weapons in their hands, either axes or maces, these soldiers are all sharps in a thousand battles, and they are all better than the Yellow Turban Warriors.
Da-da-da-da! Twenty groups of chain horses began to accelerate their charge, and there was a kind of momentum of thousands of troops!
Zhang Fei gained his knowledge again today, seeing that it was difficult to be its front, he ordered the flag to move, and more than a thousand knights immediately divided into two strands, cracking a flood avenue from it.
Chu Yan fought his way out of the encirclement, and was about to escape, but the more than 1,000 horsemen who were divided into two did not stop, they ran all the way, making them unable to live in peace.
I was chasing after me, and I was surprised when I saw the posture of the chain of horses. This group of yellow turbans should not be underestimated. In fact, as early as a few months ago, I have put the plan of the chain horse on the agenda, because this is a killer weapon to deal with the nomadic light cavalry, just for the lightweight of human armor and horse armor, I conceived of using a stamping European-style plate armor as the main equipment, so it was delayed for some time, at the latest next month Qingzhou military industry can be mass-produced, I can't imagine that the Yellow Turban Army is ahead in this regard, although their chain of horses is different from our army's.
Watching the enemy cavalry rush out of the encirclement without danger, I couldn't help but feel very emotional, as if my butterfly just flapped its wings a few times, and history became confusing and elusive. For me, who is familiar with the original historical context, is it joy or sorrow?
……
Julu was too guarded by the mansion, and five rather majestic people rushed in, and several people did not speak, and the atmosphere seemed a little dignified.
Walking in the front is a half-hundred old man, with a slender body, wise and far-reaching eyes, a gray robe that is not stained with dust, and three long whiskers fluttering under his chin, with a fairy wind and bones, which makes people awe-inspiring.
After glancing at a few people, the old man said indifferently: "Let's sit down first." ”
"Thank you, big brother."
"Thank you, great sage."
Several people thanked each other.
It turned out that this old man was the soul of the Yellow Turban Army, the great sage and mentor, and the general of Tiangong.
On his left side sat Zhang Bao, the general of the earth, and Zhang Niujiao, the brother of the clan; Zhang Liang and Zheng Gu sat on the right side of Zhang Jiao.
Several giants of the Yellow Turbans gathered here, all because of the arrival of the old enemy Qingzhou Tiger Army.
Zhang Bao, the general of the local government, is an elegant middle-aged man, he is in charge of the entire Yellow Turban system, and at this moment he said worriedly: "Brother, this military restructuring has cost a huge amount, and the treasury has seriously been unable to make ends meet, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue." ”
His concerns are imminent, in the past few months, the Yellow Turban Army has been besieged by the government with all its might, the opportunity to conquer the city has basically been lost, the source of income has been lost, and all aspects have to spend money, especially the upgrading and restructuring of the Yellow Turban Army, which is simply a gold-swallowing monster. The old Ben is about to finish gnawing, what should I do?
Seeing the second brother say this, Zhang Liang was anxious and interjected: "Second brother, military reform is imperative, you can't defeat the official army, everything is empty talk." ”
"The second brother and the third brother should be restless." Zhang Jiao frowned slightly, waved his hand and said to Su Gu: "White Rabbit, the Tiger Army is surging, can there be a way to deal with it?" ”
Su Gu glanced at Zhang Liang, because Zhang Liang was the military commander of the Yellow Turban Army, and the great sage and good teacher bypassed him and asked him directly, he was afraid that General Rengong would have ideas.
Zhang Liang was bold and generous, and he was also optimistic about Zhenggu, but he just smiled and nodded, allowing him to speak freely.
He had no worries, he simply stood up, first saluted everyone present one by one, and then said loudly: "The Qingzhou Han army has repeatedly defeated our army, it must have a psychological advantage, and the first battle must be unstoppable." Although our army's combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced, I am afraid that it is still not its opponent in hard fighting. The art of war is cloudy, the husband fights, and the courage is also, one drum, then decline, and three exhaustion. Our army waits for work, as long as we hold on to the city and the camp, if the enemy attacks the city, our camp will send troops to disturb it, and if the enemy attacks our camp, then the city will send troops to disturb it, so hold on for several months, wait for the enemy to be tired, and win the battle. ”
This strategy is stable and feasible, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Niujiao both agreed. Zhang Liang was a little anxious, and this plan was a bit conservative for him, but he didn't say anything against it.
Zhang Jiao pondered for a moment, nodded approvingly, and also stood up, walking towards the huge map on the side of the lobby, and everyone got up and followed him when they saw this.
The long sword pointed at the map of the Great Han, Zhang Jiao was in high spirits at the moment, he laughed, and said in a long voice: "The White Rabbit's strategy is very safe." However, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, it has swept the world with the momentum of sparks, and in the past year, our Yellow Turban Army has conquered the city and is unstoppable. Although he has suffered several small losses in the hands of the Tiger Army, the giant deer is the center of the Yellow Turban in the world, and he must not show too much weakness, even if he wants to hold on, he must fight first, and the first battle must be won, in order to boost the morale of the Yellow Turban in the world. Third brother, White Rabbit, can you have confidence? ”
It is from the perspective of the giant deer battlefield and the battle level; And Zhang Jiao is at a different height, considering the overall strategic situation.
Glancing at each other, Zhang Liang and Zheng Gu both nodded heavily.
……
Zhang Liang and Zheng Gu were very cautious, and quickly withdrew the pursuers sent out to the main camp, so that our army's plans to break each one came to naught.
For the sudden visit of our army, they were very cautious, the camp outside the city was 100,000 soldiers, and the Julu city also stationed 100,000 troops, the two armies were each other's horns, watching and helping each other, and did not give me a chance to take advantage of it.
I took into account that the Tiger Army had just entered Julu and was unfamiliar with the place, so I first collected troops outside the city and set up camps, and then sent people to gather the Han camp and rout the troops everywhere, and in a few days, there were more than 30,000 soldiers.
When everything was ready, it was already the fourth day, Pei Fatzi and Huang Banxian came to the trebuchet position early and carried out the final adjustment, Huang Banxian nodded at Pei Fatzi: It's okay.
"Trebuchet, put!" Pei Fatzi waved his fat big hand down and commanded loudly.
Suddenly, all kinds of stone bullets of different sizes smashed into the enemy camp like scattered flowers, bang bang bang! The stone bullets fell from the sky, like the end of the world, the screams, and the roar of smashing on objects made people tremble, as if they were going to repeat the glory of the last battle of Qingzhou.
When the soldiers of the Tigers are cheering, hoohoo! In the sky above the enemy camp, countless stone bullets suddenly flew out.
The Yellow Turbans even made a trebuchet! I was very surprised. However, the range was enough to reach the edge of our position, and for the sake of safety, I hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat thirty paces.
This retreat, the trebuchet of the Yellow Turban Army is completely out of reach, on the other hand, the trebuchet of our army is far from being comparable to the Yellow Turban, not only can cover the entire Yellow Turban battalion, if necessary, it can even directly bombard Julu City.
Soon after the stone projectiles of the two sides bombarded, several students of Huang Banxian had calculated the exact coordinates of the enemy's trebuchet, and after Huang Banxian got these data, he thought about it for a while, and Pei Fatzi summed it up, and then ordered the trebuchet to adjust its direction, and first go all out to destroy the trebuchet on the opposite side.
Our army's trebuchet unit can be said to be a high-tech branch of the era, after a series of standardization, specialization, and systematic construction, to join this team, first of all, you must be literate, and secondly, you must also train some simple mathematical knowledge, such as parabola, geometry, and functions; Huang Banxian is not what he used to be, he originally only knew a little about Feng Shui, but since he came into contact with several basic textbooks of physics, chemistry and mathematics at the middle and high school level that I compiled, he has become madly obsessed with these knowledge, and I am surprised by the speed of his progress. Since he is so motivated, of course I am not hesitant to promote, and now he is also a middle-level management cadre of our army, and Pei Fatzi is at the level of regiment commander.
After half an hour of fierce bombardment, the trebuchet of the Yellow Turban Army was dumbfounded, I feel a little better in my heart, and I even despise you, Lao Tzu is a big killer weapon developed by the Eight Classics of the Han Dynasty - multi-axis afterburner trebuchet, how can it be copied at a glance from afar? Now that Ghost Li has met Li Kui, he has revealed his stuffing.
"Order, carpet bombardment of the enemy camp, don't be stingy with stone bullets!" I'll give Pei Fatzi an order right away.
