Chapter 046: Victory Without a Fight
Niu Fujun saw that the commander was at a disadvantage and in danger, so he couldn't bear to accept the defeat of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Army in the second and third rows, and at this time they had already opened their hooves and were charging towards Pan Feng and the Jizhou army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Under the ravages of iron hooves, there are eggs, not to mention that the other party is still a world-famous undefeated lion, knowing that Yuan Lang is powerful, he immediately ordered "Mingjin to collect the troops", in his opinion, killing an enemy general and defeating the commander Niu Fu is already a great victory.
"Dingding......
The rapid sound of the golden bell was quickly transmitted, and the Jizhou army on the battlefield obviously heard the signal to retreat, only to see that the front army that they had prepared for a long time was replaced by the tail army, and the tail army retreated in an orderly manner in the direction of the barracks.
It had been snowing for a few days, and the snow on the ground had reached their ankles, although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was brave, but the obstruction of the snow still greatly reduced their marching speed, which provided valuable time for Pan Feng and the others to retreat safely.
Niu Fu was newly defeated, he got the opportunity to shoot his horse and flee in the direction of reinforcements, Pan Feng saw the enemy attacking in a big way, such a momentum also made him a little frightened, so Pan Feng followed Yuan Lang's instructions, and did not fall in love with the battle, but followed the Jizhou army to quickly retreat from the battlefield.
The Jizhou army is dominated by infantry, and the Niu auxiliary army is indeed all cavalry, although the road conditions are not good, but the four-legged one is always faster than the two-legged one.
Just when the Jizhou army was about to be caught up, Yuan Lang saw Cao Hong's uncle and nephew leading the snowboard archers to strip out of the retreating ranks, and their troops divided into two ways and entangled the enemy army from both flanks, so as to cover the retreat of the large army.
Snowboard archers move fast in the snow, and they are like elves shuttling back and forth in the white snowy world, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.
With the cover of this strange army, the retreat of Pan Feng and the army was like a fish in water, and they retreated to the barracks safely and soundly, without even a single casualty, which was a miracle.
The last to retreat to the barracks was the hero of the Niu Auxiliary Army in this battle, and I saw that Uncle Cao Hong's nephew was fortunate not to be dishonored, and he also safely returned to the Jizhou camp with archers.
However, the Niu Fu army that had already gone up did not want to stop there, only to see that they had been pressed in front of the Jizhou military camp like a flood of fierce beasts, and the horse blocking stakes in front of the village were even kicked away by the advancing cavalry.
"Han Fu, you villain, apart from being a shrunken turtle, what other skills do you have! There is a kind of duel out! ”
After confirming with Pan Feng, Yuan Lang already knew that this person was what he had guessed before, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law - Niu Fu.
Niu Fu, who was unwilling to fail, had lost the least of his senses, and when he scolded a few words and saw that there was still no one in the Jizhou military camp, he went crazy and actually launched an order to capture the military camp.
In this way, Yuan Lang was also a little panicked, first, the other party was overwhelmed, and second, whether the camp reinforced by himself with ice and snow could withstand the other party's collision.
Obviously, on this cold day, the cold weather made Yuan Lang's reinforced camp indestructible, and the Niu Auxiliary Army had no large-scale siege equipment.
Knowing that the powerful Niu Auxiliary Army was gradually demoralized, Yuan Lang, who saw the opportunity, didn't want to let go of this cheap coming, so he ordered the archers to give Niu Auxiliary Army a tear-jerking arrow rain, which was regarded as a farewell to them.
Because of the proximity, the Niu Auxiliary Army was all exposed to the firing range, although their cavalry archers also shot arrows to fight back, but the Jizhou Army, which had been prepared, either hid or hid behind the bunker, and did not cause much casualties, but the Niu Auxiliary Army paid the price of blood for their rash advance.
After all, they are all flesh and blood, who can withstand the attacks of the rain of arrows again and again, even the famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry is no exception.
Therefore, under the premise that the attack was fruitless, and if he did not retreat, the casualties would be heavier, although Niu Fu made a command mistake in the early stage, he still made the most correct choice at this time, that is, to retreat.
Although they retreated quickly and orderly after the order was issued, the archers commanded by Cao Hong's uncle and nephew still left the lives of dozens of their cavalry, and as for the wounded, they could not be counted.
"Retreat, they retreat!"
The whole army of Jizhou was boiling, and it was really unimaginable for them to be able to achieve this battle with a huge disparity in strength.
However, Yuan Lang's mood was not as happy as that of the soldiers, and his brows tightened again after his short period of happiness, because he knew that Niu Fujun was only temporarily defeated, and Niu Fu, who was unwilling to fail, would definitely launch a second or even third round of counterattack.
In view of this, Yuan Lang immediately convened a meeting of senior generals, and he first gave Cao Hong's uncle and nephew, Zhang Baiqi, including Zhang Yan, who had not yet returned to the camp, the four of them with the highest praise for this repulsion of the Niu auxiliary army, as for Pan Feng, he offset the merits, Yuan Lang did not punish or reward him, and Pan Feng himself expressed his approval of this decision.
Subsequently, Yuan Lang began to arrange the next defensive counterattack tasks, and he thought that the current low morale of the Niu Auxiliary Army was the time to use the "guerrilla warfare" he advocated.
For Yuan Lang's proposal, all the generals present expressed their approval, and soon this resolution was decided, and the main force to carry out guerrilla warfare still fell on the snowboard archers temporarily commanded by Cao Hong and Cao Ang's uncle and nephew.
The time of guerrilla warfare was set from evening to dawn the next day, and this time was subdivided into four time periods, yes, Yuan Lang just wanted to fight with Niu Fujun, to make them sit still, sleepless, and not know the taste of food, in short, in a word, force them to go.
Due to the limited number of archers, Yuan Lang gave another five hundred, and these five hundred people were selected from other branches of the army according to their proficiency in bows and arrows, so that the archer army led by Cao Hong's uncle and nephew was expanded to nearly nine hundred.
The production of snowboards was also in full swing, and the main force of the production was still Shirababe, who used their own production skills to step up production, and they made a grand promise to complete the production of these 500 pairs of snowboards and walking sticks before the guerrilla war began.
In this way, Yuan Lang's heart is finally steady, but he still has one thing that he can't rest assured about, that is, where did Zhang Yan, who always likes to "surprise" himself, go, no matter how he fills it, it is almost dark, and they still have no news at all.
Just after Yuan Lang sent a second wave of scouts to find out the news of Zhang Yan, soon after, the news that made him excited came that Zhang Yan had returned and had arrived at the back door of the barracks.
"Where, where?"
Yuan Lang couldn't wait to put down the food in his hand, for him, eating was not as exciting as the return of his comrades.
"Hei Shuai, where did you go!"
Although he was complaining, but Yuan Lang's words were more or less worried, Zhang Yan turned over and dismounted, and excitedly pointed behind him and reported to Yuan Lang: "Hehe, Huang Shuai, what do you think these are?" ”
Yuan Lang's ******** was placed on Zhang Yan's body, and when he said this, Yuan Lang's gaze crossed Zhang Yan and fell not far behind him.
"Xiliang Iron Ride? Where did you get so many horses! ”
That's right, what Yuan Lang saw was the world-famous Xiliang Iron Rider, and he had been dealing with them all day, and he knew it was them at a glance now.
"What to rob, there are more than 200 horses here, all of which I picked up for nothing!"
"Picked up for nothing?"
There are such good things in the world, Yuan Lang is a little unconvinced.
"What, you still don't believe me?" Zhang Yan seemed to see the thoughts of Yuan Lang and the people who came to see the excitement, and only listened to him explain: "Let me tell you, the big avalanche made by my old Zhang made these beasts run around like crazy, don't look at them as beasts, but none of those cattle auxiliary troops who launched the rush can ride it, no, my old Zhang has been following the largest scattered horses, and when their emotions are quiet and not irritable, won't they be brought back, haha!" ”
Looking at Zhang Yan who was grinning, Yuan Lang also calculated in his heart, it seems that the avalanche in the pine forest was a heavy loss for Niu Fujun, and his inadvertent planning also caused four or five hundred casualties to Niu Fu, as for the horses that ran away after being frightened, it is estimated that there are more, no wonder Niu Fu was going crazy to attack the camp just now, and it turned out that he was stimulated by him Yuan Lang.
