Chapter 274: Small Victory
Although Zhang Liaobu was one enemy and three enemies, the rhythm of the battle was the same, and the team gathered together no matter how they rushed, while the soldiers and horses sent by Guo Yan were scattered as soon as they rushed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When Dong Zhuo was in power, Zhang Liao had contact with the Xiliang Army and had some understanding of the combat power of the Xiliang Army, but this time the First World War found that the Xiliang Army led by Guo Yan was nothing more than that.
Zhang Liao shouted: "Cone formation!" Kill! β
When the soldiers heard the order, they slowly formed a formation while rushing to kill, Zhang Liao was the tip of the cone, rushing to the front, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward in accordance with the formation in a regular manner.
Guo Yan's 3,000 cavalry was cut from the middle and divided to the sides, and the remaining seven or eight hundred cavalry of Zhang Liao's department changed direction and gradually expanded the angle of the cone, and Guo Yan's department suffered heavy casualties.
After rushing and killing for a while, Zhang Liao saw that his losses were not small, and the main force of Guo Yan's army was not far away, so he did not dare to fight, so he led the army to withdraw from the battle.
Guo Liao's troops had been killed and could not form an effective formation, so they had to watch Zhang Liao's troops withdraw, and after Zhang Liao's troops withdrew, they returned to the temporary camp to rest and recuperate, and sent spies to reconnoiter the movements of Guo Yan's army.
The generals sent by Guo Yan went back to report in disgrace, and were slapped on the spot by Guo Yan, 3,000 people beat 1,000 people, and more than 1,000 were killed and wounded, and the number of enemies killed was less than 200!
"Say! Where is this army going? Guo Yan asked.
"To-northeast!"
"Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil! Come, send orders to the battalions, follow me into battle! "Guo Yan seems to want to find a way back.
After a short time, Guo Yan's army had been assembled, Guo Yan was put on his horse, and was about to lead the army to search and suppress Zhang Liaobu, but saw the envoy from Li Wei's army arrive.
"General Guo, General Li invites you to come over to discuss matters!"
"Damn, I'm going to kill the enemy, I don't have time to discuss things!"
"This is what Jia Fujun meant."
The envoy called Jia Fujun is the original Niu Auxiliary Army in the auxiliary army Jia Xu, the word and the word, called "poisoner", resourcefulness is known for ruthlessness, Niu Fu was assassinated by Jiang Sheng, Jia Xu fled Chang'an to join Li Wei's army, the generals of Xiliang are very respectful of Jia Xu, this time the soldier Chang'an is Jia Xu's one force to promote.
"Go back and say I'm killing the enemy, and when I'm victorious, go over as soon as I win!" After Guo Yan finished speaking, he beat the drum and marched, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses who stayed in the camp, Guo Yan's army of 20,000 soldiers and horses went to the northeast to kill.
Gao Shun had already seen the smoke and dust billowing in the distance at a high place, and knew that it was the arrival of the main force of the Xiliang Army, and according to Guo Jia's strategy, Song Xian had also seen it, and personally led the troops to kill it directly.
Guo Yan saw that there were only a thousand people, so he ordered the deputy general Li Meng to lead an army of 5,000 to meet the battle, Song Xian waved the ghost head knife, roared and rushed over, and the thousands of horsemen behind him marched together, directly facing Li Meng, Li Meng was also a strong general, dancing the long knife to take Song Xian directly.
The adjutant general who had been defeated before said to Guo Yan: "This group of officers and troops is not the one before, I'm afraid there are other officers and troops here." β
Guo Yan nodded and said: "With these thousands of people, it is impossible for the official army to take the initiative to attack, and it will definitely be a backmove, Li Meng will not have a big problem eating this official army, let's continue to move forward." β
Li Meng, with his bravery and military superiority, adopted a combined formation, trying to encircle and kill Song Xian's troops, seeing that Guo Yan led the army to continue to advance, he didn't care, just rushed to kill, Song Xian and Li Meng The two generals handed over their hands, and the swords and soldiers were wrong, and the fight was very happy.
Guo Yan led the army to advance for several miles, and when he saw the flag waving not far ahead, Guo Yan said: "This must be the official army camp, and the whole army will listen to my orders and attack with all their might!" β
15,000 soldiers and horses rushed towards the "big camp" of the official army under the command of Guo Yan.
Gao Shun saw that the main force of Guo Yan's army had left, and hurriedly blew the horn, and his thousands of horsemen rushed down the slope of the mountain under the leadership of Gao Shun and went straight to Li Meng.
Li Meng divided 2,000 troops to engage in the battle, while the headquarters continued to fight with Song Xian's department, and after Gao Shunjun was killed, he fought with Li Meng's 2,000 detachment, which seemed to be evenly matched.
Li Meng was full of self-confidence, and Gao Shun, Song Xian two parts of the inseparable, at this time, there were war drums on the southwest side, when the first flag, a big word "Wei" on the book, it was Wei Xu's soldiers and horses, the northwest side was also a war drum sounded, Zhang Liao has also been killed.
Four parts of Lu Bu's army have appeared, surrounding Li Meng's troops, Li Meng only then knew that he had a plan, but it was too late to regret it, so he had to fight desperately, seeing the soldiers around him fall one by one, Li Meng had the intention of retreating, led the army to the west to sacrifice his life to fight, killed a bloody road, and only led dozens of horsemen to rush out.
Moreover, Guo Yan led the army to kill the "big camp" of the official army, but saw that the "big camp" was dead silent, so he ordered the big army to line up and send a small number of soldiers and horses to carry out a tentative attack.
Guo Yan was wondering, and suddenly heard the war drums in the rear, as if there were thousands of troops.
Guo Yan climbed high and saw that the smoke and dust were billowing not far from the left wing, and the flags were densely packed, with a big flag at the head, and the word "Lu" was written on it.
Guo Yan knew that this was Lu Bu, and secretly shouted that it was not good, so he said: "It's not good!" Hit the trick! He hurriedly led his army to the southwest and tried to join Li Meng.
After rushing to the battlefield where Li Meng was, Guo Yan was dumbfounded, the ground was full of corpses of Xiliang soldiers, it seemed that Li Meng's troops had been wiped out, but the official army was nowhere to be seen.
Guo Yan's heart was cold, so he had to lead the army to withdraw to the camp, and after returning to the camp, he saw Li Meng covered in bandages, lying on the collapse and humming.
Guo Yan scolded: "Are you dead? What a nonsense! β
Li Meng was startled, and quickly got up, grinning with pain all over his body.
Seeing him like this, Guo Yan couldn't bear to be punished, so he asked, "Where are your soldiers and horses?" β
Li Meng cried: "The last general is incompetent, and almost all the soldiers and horses under his command are killed in battle!" Only dozens of horsemen rushed out! β
"How many officers and soldiers are there?"
Li Meng was worried that Guo Yan would treat him for the crime of incompetence, so he said: "The first to engage in the battle was the advance of the official army, and after the general went east, the main force of the official army of about 20,000 soldiers and horses suddenly arrived, and the last generalββ"
"Forget it! No need to explain! You should heal your wounds first. Guo Yan heard that the official army had about 20,000 soldiers and horses, and knew that he was responsible for underestimating the enemy's rash advance, so it was inconvenient to hold Li Meng responsible.
After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Guo Yan remembered that Jia Xu had summoned him to discuss matters, so he took a few entourages to Li Dao's camp.
Li Wei has a total of 50,000 infantry cavalry, and his appeal is not bad, plus Jia Xu serves as a military advisor in his army, Zhang Ji and Guo Yan have to give face.
Zhang Ji has been here for a long time, waiting for Guo Yan to arrive, but Guo Yan has not arrived, the messenger said that Guo Yan is meeting the enemy, Jia Xu is puzzled, there is no large number of officers and soldiers here, those small groups of officers and soldiers are fleeing from the wind, which kind of battle is Guo Yan Ying?
Guo Yan came to Li Wei's Zhongjun tent with a drooping face, sat down by himself, and drank the water bowl.
When Li Dao and the others saw Guo Yan like this, they all shook their heads secretly, this guy seemed to have suffered a defeat.
Jia Xu asked, "General Guo, I don't know who is the enemy against you?" β
"Don't mention it! Tens of thousands of officers and troops led by Lu Bu! β
"Lu Bu? Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers? Li Dao, Jia Xu, and Zhang Ji looked at each other.
"Isn't it weird? If I hadn't met this guy, how would I have been so defeated? β
