Chapter 139: The First Battle Victory (I)
Gao Shun was very happy when he saw everyone's expressions, it seemed that they were full of yearning for the war, so he said: "I also want to help them, but our army belongs to the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, and it can only be transferred between the counties of Youzhou, but it cannot enter Jizhou, otherwise the emperor will order it down, and our heads will be moved."

Zhang Fei was anxious and asked, "Lord, won't we have no fight in this case?" ā
Yan Liang and the others looked a little lost; Only Yun Chang closed his Danfeng eyes slightly, smiled and did not speak, and looked extremely calm.
Gao Shun said: "Wait! I believe that the Yellow Turban Thieves will definitely go north, we are stationed here, so close to Xiaquyang, if they don't get rid of us, they have no sense of security, I guess, they will definitely send troops to fight us, don't let me down when the time comes. ā
"Yes, my lord!" The hearts of the people rejoiced.
On the fourth day of the first month of March, the magistrate of Fanyang County led the county clan to come to express condolences to the army.
The two great families of Fanyang, the Lu family and the Zou family, each sent 100 fat sheep, 100 stones of rice, and 100 catties of gold; Other small families also sent gifts in varying amounts.
They had already received the news that the major families in Jizhou had suffered a catastrophe, and the clansmen had fled for their lives, with countless losses; Now that so many officers and soldiers have arrived, they are grateful to keep them safe; These large armies were stationed outside the city, and they did not commit any offense against them, but they could not be unreasonable, for fear that there would be fewer troops and would not satisfy the officers and soldiers.
Gao Shun promised them that Fanyang County would be safe; The county magistrate and the others returned satisfied.
Then, Gao Shun ordered the sheep to be killed, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was high.
At noon on the fourth day of the first month of March, the spies came to report that the Yellow Turban thieves had gone north and plundered the county, and the number was still increasing, and the number was huge, so it was difficult to judge.
On the fifth day of the first month of March, Cheng Zhiyuan, the commander of Youzhou Canal, also received a report from a spy that the Youzhou Army Chen Bing was at the border and was waiting for work; At this time, they had arrived in Anguo, Jizhou.
Adjutant General Deng Mao suggested: "Qu Shuai, why don't we occupy Zhongshan County first and use Zhongshan County as a base to fight against the Youzhou Army?" ā
Cheng Zhiyuan explained: "General Digong has an order not to interfere in the affairs of Jizhou, if we stay in Zhongshan County, it will be a big deal for the general; Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry, and I didn't have a single county town. ā
Deng Mao also suggested: "Qu Shuai, why don't we go north from Zhongshan County to Lunu, Tang County, and Beiping, and go straight to the rear of Fanyang County, and catch them off guard?" ā
"Hehe, what you think is too simple, no matter which direction you go north, you can't bypass Fanyang County, otherwise we will be flanked back and forth, we can't move forward, we can't retreat, and we will suffer a fiasco."
"Qu Shuai, do we have to face the enemy head-on?" Deng Mao was very worried in his heart, the infantry had little chance of winning against the cavalry, and it would be good not to be slaughtered.
Cheng Zhiyuan said confidently: "Hehe, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, except for those who stay in the city, there are only a few thousand soldiers who can fight, what is there to fear?" Pass my orders and speed up! ā
"Yes, General!" Deng Mao was very helpless.
That night, Cheng Zhiyuan camped in the south of Lushui in Fanyang County, less than 20 miles away from Gaoshun's camp.
On the sixth day of the first month of March, early in the morning, after a full meal, Cheng Zhiyuan ordered to cross the river and launch the Battle of Youzhou.
Gao Shun also gave a similar order, and then ordered the infantry to stay in the barracks, and all the cavalry crossed Yishui and lined up with their backs.
300 junior cavalry as Gao Shun's escort, and led 1000 cavalry to the left of the central army; Li Qiang led 1,300 cavalry to the right flank of the Chinese army; The left wing is dominated by Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the deputy; The right wing is dominated by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is the deputy.
At 10 o'clock, Cheng Zhiyuan's troops had arrived, and they were deployed more than 300 meters apart.
There were so many Yellow Turban troops that they couldn't see the edge at a glance, and the timid people were immediately frightened.
Li Qiang's suggestion to launch an attack while the enemy's foothold was not stable, but Gao Shun vetoed it; This is the first time since the founding of the army to face each other head-on, and in the face of the Yellow Turban Army with no combat effectiveness, it should be regarded as training, otherwise the tactics of sneak attack have been used, how to face the princes of the Central Plains in the future?
Yan Liang, Guan Yu and others were eager to try, just waiting for Gao Shun to give an order.
Cheng Zhiyuan saw that the enemy was only a few thousand, although the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was strong, but he had an army of nearly 100,000, and there were only so few enemies on the opposite side, so there was no need to worry.
When the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army saw that the number of enemies was so small, their fighting spirit suddenly rose.
Gao Shun shouted to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, challenge forward, capture a general alive, and enjoy a jar of wine." ā
"Yes, my lord!" Guan Yu smiled, raised his sword, and rushed towards the enemy formation.
Before Cheng Zhiyuan could speak, a young general rushed out of the team and rushed towards Guan Yu with a spear.
Guan Yu didn't speak, patted the horse and continued to move forward, raised the knife and chopped down, the young general blocked the spear, only heard the "click", the spear broke in response, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue knife was undiminished, and the enemy and the horse were split in half.
"Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
The cavalry let out a roar to the sky, and many of the Yellow Turban soldiers were trembling with fear from Guan Yu's ferocity.
Gao Shun felt that Guan Yu was too fierce, so he beckoned Guan Yu back, "Yide, capture a general alive and enjoy a jar of wine." ā
Guan Yu then remembered that he wanted to capture the enemy alive in the future, and secretly said, lost a jar of wine in vain, and returned to the team in a huff.
"Yes, my lord!" Zhang Fei was very excited, and galloped out.
In order to boost morale, Cheng Zhiyuan said to Deng Mao: "Vice General Deng, you must kill the enemy's majesty!" ā
"Yes, Qu Shuai!" Deng Mao came out with a gun.
"Yanren Zhang Yide is here, he will report his name, and he will not kill the nameless ghost!"
"Youzhou Deputy General Deng Mao, little doll, take your life!" Deng Mao said as he kept rushing straight towards Zhang Fei.
Gao Shun observed Deng Mao's attributes, age 32, force value 73, intelligence 66, politics 61, attributes are good, I feel that it is a pity to kill, so he shouted: "Yide, capture Deng Mao alive, enjoy a jar of wine." ā
Deng Mao was shouted by Gao Shun, and his heart was suddenly disturbed, his mother's, the dignified deputy general of Youzhou, was only worth a jar of wine, which was too bullying.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and firmly remembered Gao Shun's words, the guy opposite was worth a jar of wine, and he must be captured alive, but he couldn't break the jar like Guan Yu.
Deng Mao stabbed Zhang Feimian door with a shot, Zhang Fei's snake spear was picked hard, Deng Mao's spear was picked off, and the two horses staggered.
After being picked off the spear in half a round, Deng Mao felt that something was wrong, so he immediately drew out his portable sword and hedged again.
Zhang Fei saw that the other party only had a short sword, and his heart was overjoyed, realizing that this jar of wine was in hand. When the two horses were about to approach, Zhang Fei used all his strength to sweep the snake spear; Deng Mao's horse's head was smashed and he was killed instantly; Deng Mao threw off his horse and was thrown into pieces, and he didn't know where to throw his sword; Zhang Fei slapped his horse forward, pointed at Deng Mao's throat with the tip of a snake spear, and shouted: "Surrender or kill!" ā
Two soldiers immediately came out of the ranks, went to grab Deng Mao, tied him up, and dragged him back into the formation.
The cavalry let out a burst of shouts, cheering for Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei touched his face, a little embarrassed.
Gao Shun checked Cheng Zhiyuan's attributes, age 35, force value 89, intelligence 66, politics 63, good guy, no wonder he can become a state marshal, and there are really two hits.
So he recruited Zhang Fei back, Zhang Fei was very happy, and a jar of wine was easily available.
Gao Shun said to Yan Liang: "Gongji, go and challenge Cheng Zhiyuan, if you are captured alive, you will be rewarded with two jars of fine wine." ā
"Yes, my lord!" Yan Liang was overjoyed.
"Chang Shan Yan Liang is here, who is Cheng Zhiyuan? Dare to come out and fight! ā
