Chapter 574: Cheng Yu's Resistance to Ji Ling (I)
At this point, the Battle of Jicheng finally came to an end. This battle can be described as heavy casualties, the Yanzhou army plus Zhang Liao's Hedong army, killed and wounded five or six thousand people, among which I have to say that Zang Ba is really fateful, Zhang Jaw's arrow only hit his shoulder, but when he fell, the whole person fell blind, and passed out. After the battle of Zhang Liao, he slept soundly for three days and three nights, and when he woke up, he devoured a meal, and ate a full portion of ten people before he was full. Of course, Zhang Liao's injuries are much stricter than Zang Ba's, when the doctor applied medicine to him, he found that Zhang Liao had large and small wounds such as arrow wounds, knife wounds, and gun ci all over his body, so he only remembered new ones, at least more than 30 mouths, and almost all over his body were scars, so he couldn't help but respect him. Wen Ping and other generals saw it, and they were all respectful and regarded as models.
Although the war in the north of Yanzhou is over, look at the war in the south of Yanzhou. However, it was said that at the same time as the Battle of Jicheng, on the border of Suiyang, Yanzhou, Yuan Shu ordered his general Ji Ling to lead an army of 10,000 to attack. At this time, in order to resist Yuan Shao, who came from Hebei, Wen Ping transferred a large number of troops to Jicheng to guard. Cheng Yu, a staff officer in Yanzhou, only brought in less than 5,000 troops to guard Suiyang City. Ji Ling saw that Suiyang did not have many troops, so he led his troops to rush forward, but Cheng Yu did not think that his troops were weak, so he took the initiative to attack and ambushed under the Dongbo Pass outside Suiyang City. Ji Lingzhong's plan was ambushed and frustrated. It is said that although Ji Ling's martial arts turned the tide at that time, he still lost seven or eight hundred troops, and Ji Ling's army lost its sharpness after being attacked head-on by the enemy. Ji Ling is also a famous general in the world, and soon realized that Cheng Yu, who was guarding Suiyang, was not an ordinary person, so he acted carefully, waited for Cheng Yu to take the initiative to attack, and then gathered momentum. At this time, Cheng Yu changed his previous attitude and guarded Suiyang City with heavy troops.
When Ji Ling saw this, he was annoyed and angry, at this time Yuan Shu heard that Ji Ling had lost the first battle, and sent a letter to shout, and reminded Ji Ling in his writing that this time he came to attack Yanzhou, but it was just a bluff, and there was no need to fight with the Yanzhou army and lose troops.
Ji Ling saw it, since he had no intention of fighting, he withdrew the camp from seven or eight miles that day, and waited for the battle situation in the north of Yanzhou to come, and the defenders of Suiyang were in chaos, and then took the opportunity to withdraw.
When Cheng Yu learned that Ji Ling had withdrawn from the camp, he took the initiative to attack the next day and led Suiyang's army to attack. When Ji Ling heard this, he was furious, so he set up a large army and prepared to fight. But at this time, Ji Lingjun was defeated in the first battle, and these days the battle is negative, and the soldiers all see that Ji Ling has no intention of fighting, and his spirit has long been gone.
When Ji Ling set up a big formation, and Huo Ran found out about the battle situation of his own army, it was too late. Cheng Yu didn't give Ji Ling a chance to boost morale at all, so he took the initiative to attack as soon as he came, put on a formation of five tigers and sheep, and rushed to kill with two teams of cavalry as the two wings, and the infantry in the middle pounced, and the soldiers and horses on the back two wings covered the left and right, and went towards Ji Ling's army. As soon as Ji Ling saw Cheng Yu put out a five-tiger flock formation, he knew that something was wrong. After all, these five tiger and sheep formations are the most fierce battle formations among the ten major formations of the Warring States, and the seven and eight essences that are rare in the world to learn, and those who can put three or four points can be regarded as highly talented. But at present, Cheng Yu's formation has at least nine points of essence, and the formation is arranged tightly and exquisitely. Ji Ling knew that he was invincible at a glance, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army.
"Hahaha~~!! Lord Staff, that Ji Ling was timid before he fought, and now he has already ordered a retreat!! After a while, a burly general heard the enemy blowing the horn of withdrawing troops, and was retreating in a panic, and couldn't help but be overjoyed and laughed.
But next to him, there was a majestic character, with sharp eyes, eyes like eagle eyes, beautiful hair, a cold and solemn expression, wearing a simple yellow robe, listening to the words of the soldier, unmoved, in contrast, there was no trace of joy. This person is the Yanzhou staff officer, and Cheng Yu is also!
"Hmph, don't yell in my ear, don't I have eyes to see!?" Cheng Yu snorted coldly, and then whispered a few words to the soldiers on the other side, and the soldiers immediately shouted the order of Liandao, and the drums and trumpets beat in a moment, shaking the sky.
Between the drums and bugles, the cavalry troops that went to the two wings first immediately galloped and flew around the left and right flanks of Ji Lingjun.
Cheng Yu saw it clearly, and immediately ordered the central infantry army to speed up the killing. As the drum and trumpet rose again, the Yanzhou infantry in the middle immediately rushed away.
"The general is not good!! Most of the enemy's men and horses are coming~!! But the two flanks of our army were attacked by the enemy, and now the central part is in a mess, and there is no way to retreat~!! "A member of the Ji Ling Army, a general, is in a hurry to report on the horse. When Ji Ling heard this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and roared, "Damn Cheng Yu!" You're trying to force me to fight you to the death~~!! ”
Having said that, Ji Ling knew that he had given the order to withdraw his troops earlier because of his concern about preserving his troops, so that he had already lost the opportunity, even if he fought to the death, I am afraid that the best result would be a defeat for both sides! But if he left it unchecked, he would face the danger of the rout of the entire army, and in this way, the good-faced Yuan Shu would definitely be furious!
Thinking of this, Ji Ling already regretted it now, and he could only make up for his sins as much as possible!
"The armies obey the order~!! The enemy saw that our army was cowardly, so he was not afraid of the difference in strength, and dared to come to attack~!! Let's ask you, but you're a weak coward~!? As soon as Ji Ling's words came out, all the generals under his command were angry, and they all raised their arms and shouted, shouting angrily.
"Fuck!! Dare to underestimate me and wait, Lao Tzu fought with him!! ”
"That's right!! The big husband stands up to the sky, that Cheng Yu is just a Confucian student, Mo and I are still a soft egg with no power to restrain the chicken!? ”
"Please also ask the general to give the order, we are willing to fight to the death!!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked forward to it, and all the generals shouted in unison: "Please also ask the general to give an order, we are willing to fight to the death!" ”
"Good!! Obey my orders, quickly divide the bow troops into two flanks, and shoot the enemy's cavalry headquarters. The generals listened to the order and marched with me on the middle road, and I wanted Cheng Yu to see what kind of jackal and tiger division I was waiting for Yuan Highway's deployment!! Ji Ling glared and shouted angrily, he was determined to be sure now, no matter how much he had no worries, it was also terrifying. The generals couldn't help but feel strong and took orders one after another.
So with Ji Ling's order being conveyed, the people of each department went their separate ways. Among them, the archers rushed to the two wings and shot with random arrows, and the cavalry of the Yanzhou army was suddenly shot to stop the momentum, because they were not expected for a while, and there were many casualties!
At the same time, the sound of killing rose like a tide, and when he was listening to the loud voice, Ji Lingjun suddenly broke out, each of them pounced and killed, and in the middle Ji Lingzheng led the generals to lead the troops to pounce.
In the rear of the Yanzhou army, I heard Shicai's laughing soldiers shouting and shouting urgently: "Master Staff, that Ji Ling is a puppeteer!" ”
"Shut up, I've said I have eyes to see!!" Cheng Yu frowned, glared, and at the same time secretly thought: "This Ji Lingguo is not an ordinary person, he didn't dare to fight with our army because of his concerns before, but now he was forced by me, but he saw the depth of it, and decided to fight with me!" ”
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu's eyes narrowed, revealing a bright smile, and said secretly: "However, I also want to see what skills you have!" ”
As soon as the thought turned, Cheng Yu quickly made a transfer, and then the drums and trumpets beat, and at the same time, there were various heralds to ride quickly, and they rushed to the front.
After a while, I suddenly saw the two cavalry that were rushing to kill on both wings of Ji Ling's army, and suddenly fell back and killed, rushing towards Ji Ling's army in the middle. Ji Lingjun's bow and hand couldn't react when he saw it, and he didn't dare to shoot an arrow for fear of being injured by mistake.
On the other side, the army of Yanzhou Middle Road has already pounced on the front of Ji Ling's army, and this time it is a vigorous advance, and the spearmen, swords, and axes in front of the arrows, slashing with guns and knives, and slashing with fast axes, killing the men and horses in the front of Ji Ling's army, retreating from defeat and retreating, and people turning over on their backs.
At this time, the troops covering the two flanks in the rear did not take the opportunity to pounce together, but instead rushed around on both sides, killing to the front and left and right. Seeing this, Ji Lingjun didn't know how to deal with it, and it was a big mess.
"What a terrible Cheng Zhongde, this person is not only familiar with this formation, but also has been improved!!" Ji Ling, who was rushing towards him, saw the change in the formation of the Yanzhou army, his face changed suddenly, and he didn't dare to slack off anymore, first taught the two generals to lead one to block the enemy cavalry from the rear, and then he hurriedly whipped his flying horse and rushed to the rescue.
Between the lightning and flint, Ji Ling's Pegasus quickly rushed to the front of the formation, and now the Yanzhou army was already blooming in three ways. Ji Ling shouted angrily, and his army immediately dispersed. I saw that he led his troops to attack the middle road, and the other cadres and soldiers were separated, forming two lines of soldiers and horses, and killing to the left and right sides to block.
"Good, good! I didn't expect that Yuan Highway, who was narrow-minded and difficult to become a big weapon, would have such a general! I'm not alone!! Cheng Yu saw that he was excited, and the top and bottom of the rush array cheered in unison, and the drummers strengthened their momentum to encourage them.
At the same time, Ji Ling was fighting with the Yanzhou army in front of the battle. Seeing Ji Ling holding a trident, flying and dancing, running all the way to kill, it can be described as brave and fierce, no one can beat him.
"Wow~~!! Ji Lingpifu, I want to see what you, the man known as the strongest man in Huainan, have~~!! ”
During the fight, a Yanzhou general, wielding a big axe, galloped his horse and killed in front of Ji Ling, twisted the axe, and slashed down. Ji Ling snorted coldly, and with a stab of the trident in his hand, it was separated. Seeing that the Yanzhou general was also burly, but this time, his complexion changed drastically, and his whole body trembled. Ji Ling sneered, shouted, and with a flick of the trident, the big axe in the hand of the Yanzhou general suddenly flew out. Ji Ling immediately squeezed his halberd, hitting the heart of the man's heart, and he fell off the horse and overturned. And Ji Ling had already continued to gallop and fly.
"Not good!! General Wang was killed by Ji Ling~!! At this moment, a Yanzhou general who saw it couldn't help but exclaim. When the soldiers in Yanzhou heard this, they immediately drank and surrounded them.
In the face of everyone coming to encircle, Ji Ling was fearless, twisted the trident and stabbed and slashed, and behind him even more Huo Ran showed a red fuzzy ghost general's appearance, fierce and terrifying, rushing left and right, and killing the crowd to encircle, and the generals who followed behind were all strong in their hearts and galloped to catch up.
At this time, the Ji Ling army on the left and right, but there was no such fierce general as Ji Ling in his army, seeing that the two Yanzhou troops were like two fierce tigers, after a period of melee, they scattered the Ji Ling army that came to intercept.
Cheng Yu saw it clearly, and immediately issued an order, but the two soldiers and horses that broke through the enemy army did not attack forward at this time, but went around to the center left and right, and they were actually coming to attack Ji Ling's military headquarters.
Finding that there were enemy soldiers on both sides going around to kill, Ji Ling's generals shouted one after another. When Ji Ling, who was about to kill a sudden kill, couldn't help but change his complexion, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you Cheng Demou, it turns out that you were calculating me from the beginning!" ”
Just as Ji Ling's thoughts turned, the soldiers and horses in front of him suddenly became excited, and they rushed to kill in unison. In order to avoid being attacked by the three armies, Ji Ling immediately made a decision and hurriedly withdrew. But at this time, the sound of killing in the rear was shocking, and the two Yanzhou cavalry that went to the two wings to kill first suddenly rushed from the rear, and this time the Yanzhou army was like five tigers with teeth and claws, and they attacked and pounced on Ji Ling's troops.
