Chapter 142: Cheng Yan's Battle III
Chapter 142: (Chengyan Battle III)
"The whole army listens to the order, the rear team changes to the front team, and retreats in an orderly manner..."Huang Wei shouted loudly towards the remaining five battle formations...
Immediately after the sound of orders, after receiving the retreat order, the soldiers of the five battle formations successively held the big shield and withdrew towards Cangzhou City...
"King, the Cheng Dynasty army has retreated..."
"Hmph, as expected, Shangguan Yin Feng really wants to escape..."Yuan Shijie stood in place, and then shouted at Yuan Han: "Order, the whole army will attack the city, and Shangguan Yin Feng must not be let go, and there will be no forgiveness for violators..."
At the same time, Shangguan Yin Feng ordered Huang Wei to lead the army to retreat to the south gate, and he even returned to the mansion in person, took Murong Shi in the carriage, and then also headed towards the south gate: "Order, order more than 100 brocade guards to escort Miss Murong to Shandong Buzheng, and wait for the king to return to the army to join you..."
"No..."After a brocade-clothed guard gave up his hand to answer, he commanded more than 100 Jinyiwei under his command to drive the carriage towards Shandong...
"Order, the army quickly retreated to Yanshan, discarded the baggage and some equipment along the way, and lured Yuan Shijie to pursue..."Shangguan Yin Feng arranged everything, and rode his horse towards the south gate...
At the foot of the Salt Mountain
Yuan Rui had received an order from Yuan Shijie before, ordering him to lead his headquarters of 20,000 horses to stand by on the plain under the Salt Mountain, once Shangguan Yin Feng led the army to escape, it was just right to intercept it at the foot of the Salt Mountain, and once again repeat Li Yanqing's victory in the Salt Mountain...
On the other side, in the depths of the Salt Mountain, the black oppressive figure moved, it was none other than Murong Xuehu and the others who came to the Salt Mountain for more than half a month to set up an ambush, 30,000 cavalry, all the knights gently put down their war horses to calm the horse's emotions, so as not to expose them with the roar of the war horse...
"It seems that Cangzhou has already started fighting, Yuan Rui's army has been waiting here for a day, in the past one or two days, the prince's army will arrive..."Murong Xuehu whispered to several generals behind him: "Everyone listen, once the war starts, you must go all out..."
Yuan Rui had been waiting at the foot of Salt Mountain for a whole day before this, and his order was to set up an ambush in Salt Mountain to block Shangguan Yin Feng, who was coming towards Salt Mountain once the army was defeated...
"General, the prince they killed the enemy in Cangzhou, but we are guarding here, in case they break through Cangzhou and take Shangguan Yin Feng, but all the credit is robbed by them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" said the deputy general next to Yuan Rui.
This is not a matter of grabbing merit, when Yuan Jingchu established the Dayan Empire, he made clear the military merit system, which was similar to the first-level calculation of the pre-Qin Dynasty, so their 20,000 Nanpi defenders were guarding at the foot of the salt mountain, if there were defeated soldiers coming here, it would be good to say, if Yuan Shijie took all Shangguan Yin Feng's soldiers in Cangzhou, including Shangguan Yin Feng, then their merit would be minimal, at most each camp would be rewarded with a jar of wine.
Yuan Rui frowned, he had talked to Li Yanqing about Shangguan Yin Feng's tactics and methods of using troops, and he himself had been taught by Li Yanqing, not to mention everything, but he learned some, and he also felt that Shangguan Yin Feng's sneak attack on Cangzhou was a little strange, even if it was powerful, it was impossible for only twenty or thirty thousand people to hit the hinterland of Hebei: "Okay, the prince naturally has his intention to let us stay here, don't speculate any more, if this is the case, the general will be punished." ”
"No..."
The phalanx composed of Shangguan Yin Feng's 8,000 ironclad soldiers, in addition to the previous 3,000 dead and wounded, the remaining 5,000 people retreated one after another, and converged with Shangguan Yin Feng and others, and slowly withdrew towards the established route of Yanshan.
"Lord Wang, Yuan Shijie's people are in the rear of our army, and General Qian and they are blocking it." Huang Wei rode his horse to Shangguan Yin Feng's horse and said.
"That's it, you go and tell Qian Menglong, don't stop it too much." Shangguan Yin Feng smiled, this was exactly what he wanted to see: "Huang Botao, go quickly, you go to the foot of Yanshan to set up a formation first." ”
"No..."
In this way, Shangguan Yin Feng 'retreated' while quickly heading towards Yanshan, if you look at it from the air, Shangguan Yin Feng's Cheng Dynasty soldiers did not panic when they retreated, but 'escaped' in an orderly manner, and a discerning person knew that there must be something wrong with this at a glance.
When Shangguan Yin Feng rode a horse only a few miles away from Yanshan, Huang Botao in front sent someone to spread the word: "Lord Qiqi, there are enemy troops at the foot of Yanshan, and General Huang is fighting with the enemy army. ”
"Yuan Rui..."Shangguan Yin Feng thought of Yuan Rui directly, there was nothing else, Yuan Shijie gathered nearly 200,000 troops this time in order to encircle and suppress himself, and he could wait in advance in Yanshan except for Yuan Rui in Nanpi, who could not take out more troops: "Order Qian Menglong, lead the army to protect Huang Botao, and tell Huang Botao not to let the Shenji Battalion do it for the time being, stay at the end." ”
"No—" The knight turned and headed towards the salt mountain.
"General Murong, the shouting and killing sound under the mountain shook the sky, it seems that the prince is here." Song Zijiang tried his best to keep his voice low.
"Hmm." Murong Xuehu is the commander-in-chief of this ambush, and Song Zijiang and these people naturally want to listen to him: "The prince has an order, but when he sees the arrow flying, he rushes down and is ready to respond at any time." ”
"Kill..."
"Flutter..."
"Help..."
"My hand..."
Qian Menglong led the 2,000 soldiers who arrived to quickly form a phalanx in front of Yuan Rui, and after only a short while, they were killed with Yuan Rui's soldiers.
After Shangguan Yin Feng arrived, he quickly ordered the remaining 4,000 war soldiers to form a semicircular battle formation, in the middle, were the remaining 10,000 soldiers, all armed with bows, arrows, and spears, while Huang Botao's 3,000 Shenji Battalion soldiers were self-contained, surrounding Shangguan Yin Feng, and Huang Botao was in front of the Shenji Battalion.
Qian Menglong and Yan Xiao were leading the army in their rear to fight with Yuan Rui's army, while the front was nervously waiting for Yuan Shijie's arrival.
"Don't have an accident in the rear, Huang Botao, you personally take a hundred musketeers to support Qian Menglong, and be sure to beat Yuan Rui back." Shangguan Yin Feng looked at Huang Botao not far away, and said loudly: "Scare them to death." ”
"The last will obey." Huang Botao turned around and headed towards the rear with a hundred musketeers, leaving the remaining two hundred musketeers.
Shangguan Yin Feng's meaning is very clear, that is, to scare Yuan Rui, these people have never seen an arquebus, the big deal is that they have heard rumors such as Shangguan Yin Feng's demon arts, naturally they have not seen it personally, once they are killed by an arquebus, then most of those superstitious Yan soldiers will be scared half to death and retreat frantically.
"Here comes the prince." Huang Wei pointed to the dust raised in front of him and said to Shangguan Yin Feng.
Shangguan Yin Feng was surrounded in the middle, looking at the dust not far away, knowing that it was Yuan Shijie who led the army to arrive: "Prepare for battle." Huang Wei, stepped forward to command. ”
"No..."
Huang Wei rode to the middle of the four battle formations in front of him, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted, "Locate the arrow." ”
'Whoosh... Sou... Sou... Whoosh...'
Yuan Shijie rode a horse and stood not far from the positioning arrow, watching the fight behind Shangguan Yin Feng, a smile rose in his heart, and shouted: "Soldiers, Shangguan Yin Feng was blocked here by General Yuan Rui, rushed over, and worshiped the general." ”
"Kill..."
"Shoot the arrows..."
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"Ahh
The sound of arrows falling to the ground came one after another, although they were killed and injured by bows and arrows, but those meritorious Yan soldiers braved the rain of arrows and rushed towards the battle formation in front of them, of course, Yuan Shijie commanded the archers to release arrows to counterattack in the back, and as a result, the battle of Yanshan started again.
