Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Chapter 139: (Facing the Enemy)
Cangzhou City, outside the north gate, Yuan Shijie's follow-up army arrived, Yuan Shijie's arrival, the command of the entire army around Cangzhou is in the hands of Yuan Shijie, the size is also the prince of Yan State, it is not a problem to lead these soldiers and horses...
"Great King..."Yuan Han bowed to Yuan Shijie and said: "Great King, our army has been attacking the city for three days in a row, but with little success, every time after attacking the city, it was driven down the city, and the casualties continued to increase, but the Cheng Dynasty army is estimated to be the same as us, its strength is already scarce, if we attack with several times the strength, we will definitely be able to exhaust it..."
The wind is blowing, the handsome flag is fluttering, Yuan Shijie is riding on a war horse, looking at Cangzhou City in the distance with high spirits, now his morale is high, and the soldiers and generals of the whole army all know that the people in Cangzhou City are Shangguan Yin Feng, and they all want to take this city to make a name for themselves...
"This king hereby announces that if Shangguan Yin Feng is captured alive, whether it is a general or a soldier, this king will ask the emperor to be crowned the prince of ten thousand households; If you kill Shangguan Yin Feng, whether it is a general or a soldier, you will be crowned the Marquis of Wanhu; The bounty is ten thousand taels, and there are countless beauties..."
In the Han Dynasty, the princes below 100,000 households did not have a feudal country, and the marquis also had a feudal country, simply explained, the marquis feudal country, only the tax revenue in the feudal country was received by him, but he did not have the right to open a mansion to govern affairs, the prince was the same, the prince below 100,000 households did not have the right to open a mansion to govern affairs, only the prince of more than 100,000 households had, such as Huainan prince Sun Hao and Jiujiang prince Sun Yan, you can set up the prime minister and the following officials...
Yuan Shijie's interests are very large, under the prosperity of the world, even hundreds of marquis are the same as Guozuo, stretching for hundreds of years, not to mention the prince, his power is so great that it is the goal of any ordinary soldier and general, especially the general, so, as soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hundreds of thousands of troops was full of energy, and wanted to take Shangguan Yin Feng at the last moment, the price of capture was very large, but the reward in exchange was boundless...
"If Lao Tzu wins Shangguan Yin Feng, he will be the prince, and you will not be qualified to drink with me in the future..."
"Joke, how can this great credit be easily given to you?"
"Hey Lao Chen, do you want a few of us to work together to capture Shangguan Yin Feng, when the time comes, we will ask the king, don't want the prince, give me a few hundred marquises..."
"Lao Li's proposal is okay, I heard that Shangguan Yin Feng personally kills the enemy every time he fights, brave and impermanent, if one person is afraid that he can't take it, but if a few of us find a chance to take him down, wouldn't it be cool?"
"Okay, that's it..."
This is the discussion of the sergeants under Yuan Shijie, not only this part, I believe that most of the soldiers think so, the strength of one person is not good, but dozens of people, hundreds of people are no problem, when the time comes, it will be a big deal to seal hundreds of hundred pavilions, and it will not be a loss...
"Soldiers, listen up, kill in, take down Shangguan Yin Feng, you are the heroes of my Great Yan Dynasty, gold and titles, are waiting for you not far away..."Yuan Shijie pointed his spear and shouted loudly to the troops behind him...
"Kill..."
The chilling roar of killing was undulating in the air, and the roaring and killing sound of hundreds of thousands of people was extraordinary, which made Qian Menglong and others in Cangzhou City, a few miles away, hear it clearly...
"This person is so arrogant..."Yan Xiao looked not far away, frowned and said...
Qian Menglong is not very easy, he personally commanded the city defense battle for a few days, although his spirit is still good, but it is not as good as before: "I heard that there were less than a thousand people fighting tens of thousands of Hun cavalry, and in the end, there were only eighteen of his horsemen left, and he also killed the son of King Zuoxian, it is really amazing, Yuan Shijie is a hundred times stronger than his brother Yuan Shihu..."
As soon as Qian Menglong's words fell, a brocade-clothed guard ran up to the city tower, bowed down and saluted Qian Menglong: "General Qian, the prince has an order, prepare to go out of the city and fight with the enemy, and order you to move with the army..."
"Go back and tell the prince that I will go immediately..."Qian Menglong turned to look at Yan Xiao after speaking: "Huaiyu, this place will be handed over to you to guard, I am going to go to meet the prince..."
"The general goes, just leave it to the last general..."Yan Xiao replied respectfully...
In this era of war, there are many heroes, and you can call yourself an old man at the age of thirty, not to mention fighting in your teens, this Qian Menglong is only twenty-three or four, and Yan Xiao is only twenty years old, so young is very young, but Murong Xuehu, who is younger than them, is already famous all over the world and has good combat effectiveness...
Outside the city gate, Shangguan Yin Feng gathered 8,000 hoplites, each carrying a bow and arrow, ten arrows, holding a spear and a big shield, and a Yanling knife, divided into eight battle formations, this is the 'Macedonian phalanx' personally trained by Shangguan Yin Feng, because of its strong financial resources, the soldiers can be regarded as armed to the teeth...
"In this battle outside the city, Yuan Shijie, who must be killed, loses his armor and lets him surround him with heavy troops, otherwise the long-term plan will not be available..."Shangguan Yin Feng looked back at Huang Wei and other generals...
Because this time it was 8,000 people against 180,000 people, the disparity in strength was too great, in order to protect his own safety, Shangguan Yin Feng even asked Huang Botao to take the musket team to fight...
"Don't worry, the last general will be able to kill these Liaobei barbarians without leaving a piece of armor..."The three thousand cavalry of Cao Zhen's vanguard camp are the only cavalry in Shangguan Yin Feng's hands now, and they are also placed in the middle of the military array, ready to fight with the Liaobei cavalry at any time, each cavalry is gearing up, and the war horses neigh...
And this time Yuan Shijie's Yan army, the cavalry is no longer in the majority, but replaced by most of the infantry, due to the battle of Anyang, Li Yanqing's resignation, resulting in the collapse of 100,000 elite cavalry, tens of thousands of prisoners, now there are only more than 10,000 cavalry under its eighteen people, and the remaining cavalry are in Beiping City and Handan City, the total number is only 50,000...
Although HB is close to the grassland, and adjacent to the Huns and Wuhuan people, there are many places to raise horses, and the yield of horses is amazing, but war horses are different from ordinary inferior horses, war horses are selected among ordinary horses, and they need to be carefully raised, Yuan Jingchu can maintain 200,000 cavalry, which is already a lot of effort, because its original duty is to deal with the Xiongnu and Wuhuan these grassland minorities, and must use cavalry to fight the enemy, otherwise the infantry will not be able to catch up with the cavalry...
This is also the reason why the troops surrounding Shangguan Yin Feng this time are as many as 200,000 people, and the cavalry is no more than 20,000, and the cavalry used by the scout troops has to be removed, and the cavalry of this era is composed of one person and two horses, a war horse and a horse, in order to be regarded as a cavalry...
When Shangguan Yin Feng first came to this world, after the battle of S County, he designed a saddle and stirrups hundreds of years in advance, which can quickly train cavalry, at first it was just Shangguan Yin Feng for his convenience, who knew that later it was the prestige of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Liaobei Iron Cavalry, due to the restrictions of the Central Plains, resulting in only the majority of infantry and less cavalry...
"Hahaha..."When Yuan Shijie's staff general saw Shangguan Yin Feng's 8,000 people surrounding the battle formation, ready to fight them head-on, he laughed out loud: "The last general saw that Shangguan Yin Feng was really rampant, from a distance, there were only eight or nine thousand people, and they dared to go out of the city, it was really arrogant, the king, the last general asked for his life, and led an army of 10,000 to fight before him, and he will definitely be able to break his army..."
"How does this credit get you?" Another general said to Yuan Shijie: "The last general is willing to lead 10,000 horses to fight against Shangguan Yin Feng..."
The two are understandable in their struggle, but Yuan Shijie is never Yuan Shihu, he is the same as Li Yanqing, he has maintained caution in combat, and Shangguan Yin Fengwei is famous, so he needs to be more cautious, but the difference between Li Yanqing and Yuan Shijie is that one is a Confucian general, the other is a real general, and he can carry a knife to the battlefield to kill a character in the army...
Although Yuan Shijie was cautious in his heart, that arrogance was also ignited in an instant, and when he saw Shangguan Yin Feng leading the army out of the city, he was even more disdainful: "What the hell does this king want to see how mysterious this Shangguan Yin Feng is... You wait for the two of you to lead an army of 20,000, kill me for a while first, and eat the Chengchao army outside the city gate..."
"No..."
After the two received the order, they all ordered the military horses and raised their swords to go out into battle: "All the soldiers, Shangguan Yin Feng is in front of you, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, kill..."
"Kill..."
Twenty thousand excited soldiers spread their legs, carrying spears and knives, and rushed towards Shangguan Yin Feng's military formation, they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to defeat the enemy army in front of the city gate, and then rush into the city to capture Shangguan Yin Feng alive...
"Array..."A roar tore through the sky above the military formation, and it turned out that Shangguan Yin Feng raised his gun and personally gave the order...
"Hah..."The soldiers of the eight phalanxes let out a roar one after another...
