When Jiang Sheng was resting in Handan, the spies had already grasped the movements of Chu Yan's Black Mountain Army, and if the whole army acted together, it would definitely delay the fighters, so he ordered the three battalions of cavalry to go first, and the two battalions of archers and infantry followed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The fighter plane was fleeting, Jiang Sheng saw that the Black Mountain Army was retreating, so he ordered his own soldiers to beat the war drums, and five thousand cavalry pressed up, Chu Yan saw that the retreating troops in front were retreating slowly, so in order to avoid greater losses, he led the army to withdraw quickly.

The more than 4,000 soldiers who were left behind were surrounded by Jiang Sheng's cavalry, and more than half of them were killed and wounded.

Although Chu Yan said that she was distressed, but the future is long, but it is a pity that today's battle has fallen short, who is this official general, and how can he calculate it so accurately?

Chu Yan's use of troops pays attention to three echelons, the first echelon is the main attack, the second echelon is supplemented, and the third echelon is on standby. Jiang Sheng repeatedly attacked the camp with fire when he attacked the Yellow Turban before, and none of them failed, but against Chu Yan's troops, this trick did not work.

Hundreds of cavalry led by Zhang Nan tried to burn down Chu Yan's camp, but saw that the camp was well defended, and before they could get closer, the Yellow Turban Army made defensive arrangements, and a team of cavalry came out to pursue Zhang Nan.

The last time he attacked Li Damu, Jiang Sheng intended to let Zhang Nan make contributions, so he handed over Li Damu to Zhang Nan to deal with. Zhang Nan was promoted to the Marquis of Qu Jun (equivalent to the battalion commander of later generations).

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Nan threw those things that caused fire behind, and then hit the flint while running, and lit a fire on the back road, and the Montenegrin army had to stop the pursuit.

When he returned to the camp, Zhang Nan pleaded guilty to Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng said: "My original intention was to test the reaction of the Black Mountain Army, and it is also a rare tactic for you to resist the enemy by fire." ”

Chu Yan sent scouts to investigate the situation of the official army, and the scouts reported that the official army had 5,000 cavalry, with a total of about 30,000.

"30,000 officers and soldiers? There are still 50,000 troops in the general, so what is there to fear? The order went down, and the troops rested for three days, and after three days, they continued to attack the city! Chu Yan called himself a general, and with his strong troops, he was determined to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the official army.

Jiang Sheng learned that Chu Yan showed no signs of retreating, and it was likely that there would be a battle, so he ordered the troops to camp ten miles outside the city of Gauntao, Guo Dian invited Jiang Sheng to enter the city, but was refused, Jiang Sheng did not want to be blocked in the city by the Montenegrin army.

For three days in a row, Chu Yan's army did not attack the city, and the officers and soldiers were a little anxious and asked for battle. When I first came to the gall pottery, it was easy to win, and I couldn't help but have the idea of underestimating the enemy.

In order to overcome this kind of thinking, Jiang Sheng convened a general meeting of the generals above Sima level of each battalion, and on the temporary viewing platform, Jiang Sheng lectured at these officers, criticized their underestimating enemies and impatient thoughts, and then analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of Chu Yanjun's army and its real strength.

At noon three days later, Chu Yan sent the first echelon to storm Gauntao, and Jiang Sheng tried to send troops to help, but was entangled by Chu Yan's second echelon. Jiang Sheng ordered the infantry battalion and the shooting battalion to resist to the death, and the three battalions of Changshui, Tuncai, and Yuecai went out from the rear camp to attack Chu Yan's camp.

The so-called siege of Wei to save Zhao, Jiang Sheng did not save Gall Tao, but went to attack Chu Yan's camp, using this plan.

Jiang Sheng set up the flag and personally sounded the drums to help. Seeing Jiang Sheng personally cheering, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they fought to the death according to Jiang Sheng's defensive deployment. The archery battalion was dominated by archers, who killed and wounded the enemy with a dense barrage of arrows under the protection of the infantry battalion.

Although Chu Yan said that he had withdrawn half of his troops to attack the official army camp, he never made a single step into the camp, but suffered heavy casualties.

Zhang Nan rushed forward with 200 elite cavalry, and behind him were more than 3,000 cavalry, which had already killed Chu Yan's camp, and the Montenegrin army guarding the camp immediately reacted, and the archers shot a dense number of arrows. The officers and troops had already responded and quickly distributed into a skirmish line, and the arrows of the Montenegrin army had a very low target rate.

The Montenegrin army saw that the cavalry of the official army was too scattered, so they organized the infantry out of the camp to attack one place, who knew that the cavalry of the official army was scattered, because they wanted to smash the oil altar all over the camp of the Montenegrin army.

The Montenegrin army in the camp saw the oil altar flying in the sky, knew that the officers and soldiers wanted to launch a fire attack, and hurriedly shouted out of the camp, but the feet were slippery, and they suddenly fell down, and the people behind were blocked by the people in front, and countless people trampled on the ground.

Immediately after a round of rockets came, the Montenegrin military camp was on fire, and the screams were endless. And those who were lucky enough to break out of the fire of the camp were cut down by the officers and cavalry, and the whole army was annihilated, and the grain and grass in the rear camp were also turned into ashes.

After the fire attack was effective, the cavalry of the official army went to support the high Tao, but did not save the camp.

This is Jiang Sheng's arrangement, encircling Wei to save Zhao, saving not only the gall Tao, but also the official army battalion, but the main force of the Montenegrin army with the strength of the official army is not weaker than Chu Yan's, and it is not tight for a while, it is enough to support Chu Yan to withdraw his troops, and the gall Tao is different, it is very likely to fall, so the cavalry battalion went directly to support the gall Tao to fight.

Sure enough, Guo Dian defended the city hard, but there was no shadow of the official army, and when he was secretly scolding, the official cavalry appeared, and the Montenegrin army besieging the city was about 15,000 people, and the cavalry of the official army and the arrow rain of the defenders at the head of the city were defeated and retreated.

Chu Yan also got the news that the camp was attacked, and knew that it was not good, so Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Jiang Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief, to be honest, more than 20,000 people on each side fought together, the outcome was unpredictable, the combat power of the official army was not high, and it all relied on the big victory in the first battle organized by Jiang Sheng to boost morale, and it was really hard to fight for a long time. Now it's okay, Chu Yan has really withdrawn his troops.

When Chu Yan returned to the camp, he only saw ashes and charred corpses, so angry that his eyes were dark, and he got off the horse, and his own soldiers hurriedly helped him up.

Chu Yan saw the devastation, he knew that the camp had been destroyed, and there was no point in withdrawing the army, so it was better to continue to fight to the death, so the odds of victory were much higher, but now, he was unable to attack again, so he had to lead the army to withdraw to his cottage.

In the battle of Gauntlet, Chu Yan's Montenegrin army lost nearly half, and only more than 20,000 remnants of the army were left to retreat to the cottage in a hurry, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time.

On the part of the officers and soldiers, more than 2,100 people were killed in the battle, a proportion of one-tenth, most of whom died in the battle to defend the main camp, and countless were wounded.

Jiang Sheng was silent after seeing the results of the battlefield inventory, this was only Chu Yan's troops. These days, Zhang Baiqi has collected more than a dozen Montenegrin armies under the pretext of jointly resisting the official army, and is known to the outside world as 100,000 elite soldiers.

How to fight the next battle? Jiang Sheng was so sad that he couldn't eat, couldn't sleep well, and felt that there was nothing he could do. The officers and soldiers were celebrating, but Jiang Sheng locked himself in the camp tent and thought hard about how to break the enemy.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Nan, who was on duty at night, brought two scouts to report to Jiang Sheng, and the news was that Zhang Bai Cai had detected Chu Yan and returned defeated, and took the opportunity to capture the territory of Fucheng (now HB Hengshui) controlled by Chu Yan.

Jiang Sheng slapped his thigh, yes, why didn't I think of it before?
