Chapter 40: Luring the Enemy
The Yellow Turban Army was suddenly stunned by this sudden cavalry, but the silent cavalry at this time was more terrifying than the army that screamed with a killing voice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is brave and good at fighting, it is not a regular army after all, and when facing a strong enemy, it can only be scattered. Jiang Sheng's five squads gathered together after harvesting hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers.
This is no longer a dense forest, there is open land everywhere, Jiang Sheng's hundred-man team formed a wild goose formation to cover the past, the Yellow Turban Army saw that the situation was not good, and after a few whistles, they fled to the forest one after another.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang withdrew at this time, and Jiang Sheng's cavalry gathered the ranks and followed behind Liu Beijun in an orderly manner, and everyone was able to breathe.
"Brother Zicheng, fortunately your ministry arrived in time, otherwise it would be unimaginable!" Liu Bei urged the horse to come back and bow to Jiang Sheng.
"Brother Xuande, I am equivalent to Youzhou reinforcements, and I should take care of each other."
"Repenting of not listening to Zicheng's advice, it led to today's defeat. The captain of the school, prepare for the guilt, Zicheng's merits, and will be stated to the captain. ā
"Brother Xuande, the Yellow Turban Army has come and gone without a trace, and it is no different from civilians, for the sake of safety, please retreat thirty miles back and set up camp, and make plans tomorrow."
What Zicheng said is very true. Come on, count the number of people! ā
The battle lasted less than an hour, and Liu Bei led nearly 1,000 cavalry, killing nearly 200 people and suffering heavy losses. Liu Bei ordered to retreat thirty miles and set up camp in preparation for a battle in the coming day.
Compared with the Youzhou Yellow Turban, the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is not a grade, and the easy victory of Daxing Mountain has boosted the heart of the Youzhou army, and Liu Bei was frustrated in the first battle, and the lesson is unforgettable.
For three consecutive days, all units rested in place and did not fight, and the Yellow Turban Army was still shrouded in the shadow of Jiang Sheng's cavalry, and did not dare to rush into battle, and temporarily entered a state of truce.
The main force led by Zou Jing converged with Liu Beijun at noon, and Liu Bei described the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army with added vinegar, making excuses for the losses of the troops, and excusing himself from responsibility, but did not mention the merits of Jiang Sheng's team in fighting hard to cover it, Jiang Sheng only smiled when he heard it.
There are more than 10,000 people in the whole army, respectively, choose favorable terrain to settle down in the camp, choose the day to fight, Zou Jing sent dozens of scouts, went to Linzi and Gong Jing joint, and by this moment, Jiang Sheng proposed to lead the cavalry team to attack the surrounding Yellow Turban troops, Zou Jing naturally agreed, Jiang Sheng did not miss a little on him, so as long as it was not outrageous, Zou Jing was left to Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng led the cavalry to train special tactics such as charging and killing, arraying, and raiding in different terrains nearby, Deng Mao was unheard of, and he knew that it was elite by the momentum of this hundred horsemen alone, and there was no other sound in the training except for the sound of horses' hooves, which was uniform and murderous.
Deng Mao thought to himself, if there is such a team in the Yellow Turban Army, why is it difficult to plot the world? And the reality is that there is such a team in the official army, can the Yellow Turbans be undefeated? While thinking about it, Deng Mao was also rejoicing, otherwise he would definitely die if he encountered this team in the battle!
At the military meeting held by Zou Jing, Jiang Sheng proposed the tactics of luring the enemy deep and destroying the enemy in a pocket formation, and Guan Yu took out a brief topographic map given to him by Jiang Sheng.
Zou Jing looked at his face, "Yun Chang's picture is really the foundation of the decisive victory!" ā
"Captain, this picture is provided by Jiang Sheng, not Guan's thing."
"Zicheng? This picture alone is a great achievement. Ladies and gentlemen, the valley here is suitable for trying to the southeast ten miles, overgrown with weeds, only a thousand archers need to be deployed, no one can pass, the north is a bush, can block the enemy cavalry to charge the formation, and our Chinese army is tightly blocked at the mouth of the valley, densely covered with deer, the cavalry should lure the enemy to seal the mouth, as long as the yellow turban into the valley, there is no return. ā
"The Captain's strict deployment has been an eye-opener for us, and this strategy is feasible." Liu Bei slapped his ass.
"In this way, can Xuande lead the cavalry to lure the enemy?" Zou Jing said.
"This, this, was attacked by the Yellow Turban some time ago, this cavalry is demoralized, if the enemy is lured to flee, wouldn't it be counterproductive? What's more, the cavalry is acting under the subordinate, and it is difficult to preside over the overall situation. Liu Bei was immediately instigated.
Zou Jing snorted coldly and said, "Since Xuande has no intention of commanding the cavalry, let's set up an ambush in the dense forest with the foot soldiers." One part of the cavalry was led by Yun Chang, one was led by Zicheng, and the rest of the cavalry was hidden at the mouth of the valley. ā
"Xuande obeys the order, it's just that this thing to lure the enemy has to be Jiang Sheng."
"What do you mean by that?" Zou Jingqi said.
"Jiang Sheng led a hundred horsemen that is one as ten elites, even among the ten thousand armies, they can kill a bloody road, if they lure the enemy, they can retreat with their whole body, and the rest of the horsemen are difficult to do!" Liu Bei dug a pit for Jiang Sheng to jump.
"Liu Bei, you-" Zhang He was furious.
"Righteousness! Don't be rude to the elder of the thousand husbands! Jiang Sheng shouted.
Zhang He and Deng Mao retreated indignantly.
"Brother Xuande trusts me and is grateful. I responded to the matter of luring the enemy, but the number of 100 horsemen is too thin, and I ask the captain to allocate 100 horsemen for my use, so that nothing can go wrong. ā
"Just do what you want, you can go to the cavalry camp to select personnel, give you five days to run in training, and fight the yellow turban in five days!"
Since he got Zou Jingyunke, Jiang Sheng immediately went to the cavalry camp to select soldiers, although the Youzhou cavalry is not very good at organization and command, but as far as the cavalry is concerned, it is indeed a rare elite soldier. Jiang Sheng selected a hundred horsemen with good horse and foot strength and excellent knight physical fitness into the original cavalry team, and then based on the original cavalry team, it was regrouped after being disrupted.
After five days of joint training, although the reorganized cavalry team was still a little rusty, they all understood Jiang Sheng's command characteristics, and what was lacking was only actual combat, and the opportunity for actual combat came.
Jiang Sheng personally led 200 horsemen to Linzi to kill, and there were already yellow turban scouts who found out the news.
"Marshal, I found that 200 officers and soldiers were rushing to Linzi."
"Is it really two hundred horses?" Qingzhou Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Xu He was a little unconvinced.
"It is indeed two hundred horsemen, and there are no other officers and soldiers for thirty miles before and after."
"Okay, what Lao Tzu lacks is the armor of war horses, these two hundred horsemen are sent to the door, how can you not want it? Tell the order to go down and prepare for battle. Xu He ordered the battle.
Jiang Sheng only wanted to lure the enemy this time, so he did not hide his whereabouts, but went straight to Linzi.
The Yellow Turban Army, which was closer to Linzi, was led by Sima Ju, and had already lined up and waited after receiving Xu He's notice, but Jiang Shengjun "didn't know" and rushed over stupidly.
"Kill!" Sima Ju led the Yellow Turban Army to kill head-on.
Jiang Sheng ordered Zhang He and Deng Mao to flank the left and right respectively, and led the Chinese army to attack the enemy formation. Most of the yellow turbans are infantry, and hundreds of casualties will be killed and wounded after one impact, Sima Ju doesn't care, and still urges the whole army to press over, Jiang Sheng saw that the enemy army was killing hard, and shouted to retreat.
These 200 horsemen quickly "fled", the direction of escape was aimless, and the cavalry team became a cavalry individual fleeing for their lives, no matter what formation.
Sima Ju issued an order, and the surrounding yellow turbans were also dispatched, and suddenly the mountains were full of soldiers with yellow scarves on their heads, Jiang Sheng gave full play to the personal combat power of the Youzhou cavalry, and most of them rushed out in the encirclement of tens of thousands of yellow turban troops.
Sima Ju saw the scene of Jiang Sheng's cavalry "fleeing", and the suspicion in his heart had already gone, this escape route was chaotic, and it seemed that he was really holding his head and running away. So he commanded a large army to chase and kill the past.
When Xu He heard the report of the spies, he was determined to unite with Sima Ju to eat this small force of cavalry, so he also waved his army into battle.
When it was less than ten miles away from the ambush circle, the few infantry who were sent by Zou Jing to lure the enemy fell into bad luck, surrounded by the Yellow Turban Legion, and suffered all the casualties, which was also Jiang Sheng's last resort, these two hundred cavalry alone were not enough to lure the Yellow Turban army, and with this more than 1,000 infantry, the appetite of the Yellow Turban was hoisted.
Jiang Sheng saw that the time was almost up, so he asked each cavalryman to flee with two infantry.
When the Yellow Turban Army saw a war horse carrying three soldiers, their speed slowed down, and they were inexplicably excited, shouting and chasing after them.
A small number of cavalry rushed into the valley, and the Yellow Turbans, not suspecting him, rushed in.
