Chapter 731: The Battle of Jinan (Part II)

Gongsun Chan led the army to rush out to set up the formation, but found that the Cao army on the mountain ridge actually ran down a group of men, and for a while, Gongsun Chan was also a little eager to try.

However, it had been discussed with Tai Shici and other generals earlier, and now they are doing their own duties and stepping forward to fight, which is not for Gongsun Chan to do for the time being.

In this way, Gongsun Chan did not rush forward to fight with the Cao army that rushed out of the dense forest on the mountain range, but let his army and horses form a formation.

When Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was almost in formation, Tai Shici also led his army out of the mountain pass.

The war horse neighed, Zhang He fell and rushed forward, pointed his gun at the military formation of the New Han Army and shouted: "Gongsun Zhan, you traitor!" Dare to offend the territory of my Han court? The general of the defeated army of Ben, dare to come here? Get out of here! Or come forward and die! ”

"Zhang He! You're going crazy! Er is just a lost dog, Yuan Shao has been defeated, you actually don't think about the grace of the ancestors, and actually voted for Yuan Shao's enemy Cao Cao? Who is the traitor, at a glance, you are still embarrassed to shout here? Gongsun Zhan said angrily in the formation: "Come on, come on, kneel down in front of General Ben, General Ben may be able to spare your life, you guy who has milk is a mother, if you are obedient, General Ben may also be able to say a few good words for you in front of my lord Liu Yi, so as to reward you with a bone to gnaw, haha...... Dog thief Zhang He! ”

"Haha......"

"Come on, give you some bones!"

In the military formation of the New Han Army, many soldiers listened to Gongsun Zhan's clever words, and also laughed loudly with Gongsun Zhan.

"Gongsun Chan, you!" Zhang He was a little angry, and said coldly: "Hmph! Only those who know how to talk and don't talk nonsense. If you have the ability, come out to fight with General Ben. Let General Ben teach you how to behave! ”

"I'm sorry, General Ben has other important things to do today. It's hard as you want, but when General Ben breaks through your defense line here, captures your Cao army camp, and kills under the city of Jinan, how about we have another good fight? "Gongsun Chan was not agitated at all, and Shi Ran said in the array.

Single-handedly with Zhang He, Gongsun Chan really has no certainty of victory, if it is not necessary. Naturally, he won't play easily. What's more, now that Tai Shici is here, there is no need for Gongsun Chan to fight.

"What? Timid? Don't worry, for the sake of you being an old acquaintance after all, General Ben will definitely leave you dead. Zhang Hece rode his horse in front of his Cao soldier army and continued to stimulate Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan has always been a brave general, if he hadn't discussed it with Tai Shici earlier, he would have fought even if he knew that he was invincible, but now, what did Ren Zhanghe say. Gongsun Chan just didn't have the slightest intention of going out to fight him.

Of course, if Zhang He dared to lead the army to kill, then Gongsun Zhan's cavalry would rush over. It's a pity that Zhang He won't wave his army to fight.

This time. Tai Shi Ci had already asked his generals to prepare, in fact, how to cut down the dense forests in the mountains ahead. In addition, it is necessary to get some sergeants who are good at fighting in the mountains and forests. First, destroy the traps laid by Cao Jun and the traps in the dense forest.

Zhang He's call, Tai Shici naturally heard it. Now Cao Jun has come out of the mountain. Naturally, they had to be sent back to the mountains so that they could clear the woods.

Therefore, after Tai Shici told the following generals to get ready. and went straight out of the battle.

"Zhang He, don't come to harm? Want to fight like this? Then fulfill your heart's desire, I just hope that you don't run away! ”

Tai Shici's war horse was fast, and he seemed to be indifferent, but he arrived in front of Zhang He in the blink of an eye.

Zhang He's eyes tightened, and he shouted in a low voice: "Tai Shi Ci! General Ben has been waiting for you for a long time! ”

"Oh? Then let's stop talking nonsense, let's see the real chapter under our hands! Kill! ”

Tai Shici didn't bother to say more than a few words to Zhang He, the war horse was like an arrow, and he rushed forward, and the halberd in his hand turned into a halberd shadow in an instant, and attacked Zhang He.

Don't look at Tai Shici, who seems to have launched an attack on Zhang He very casually, but only Zhang He, who was in it, could feel the power.

I saw that he and Tai Shici were actually dozens of steps apart. However, as soon as Tai Shici's halberd was displayed, Zhang He had a sense of pressure that his qi was locked, and there was an unnatural chill in his heart.

He didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly danced his gun and slapped the horse, facing Tai Shici and killing him.

The two generals are both over-the-top generals, and once they fought, the battlefield suddenly sounded like gold and jade, and the fierce sound of the piercing weapons was like a cannon battle. Even more intent, when the heart is dark, the speed of the two generals is extremely fast, only to see the two generals keep slapping their horses and rushing to kill, every time they fight, it seems that in the center of the two generals, there is an invisible whirlwind spreading around, and the energy is agitating.

After a while, the two generals fought thirty or forty moves, and the sergeants on both sides shouted and cheered for their main generals in unison, and the atmosphere was extremely warm for a while.

However, strictly speaking, although Zhang He's martial arts have made a breakthrough recently, it is indeed slightly inferior to Tai Shi Cilai.

Tai Shi Ci's shadowless halberd is too fast, dazzling, and the halberd method is strange and unpredictable, the more Zhang He feels frightened, after thirty or forty rendezvous, Zhang He is already a little difficult, a little unable to resist Tai Shi Ci's attack.

I saw Tai Shi Ci's halberd, stabbing at Zhang He's upper, middle and lower three roads with the sound of breaking the sky, because it was fast, so it was as if Tai Shi Ci's halberd turned into a three-pole halberd and killed him at the same time. Moreover, this is stabbed by the speed of the war horse, and the strength is quite strong.

Zhang He's eyelids jumped, he felt his eyes tingle, and he couldn't help but slow down. Because he couldn't catch the shadow halberd in the end, it was Tai Shici's killer move.

In an instant, a feeling of incomparably dangerous welled up in my heart.

Zhang He's battlefield experience is really incomparably rich, and many times, it was Zhang He's feelings that saved him. He felt that Tai Shici's move was really a bit difficult to break, and at that moment, he directly reined in his war horse, and with a bang, his war horse moved directly a few steps sideways.

"Tai Shi Ci is nothing more than that, he will fight here today, and those who have the ability will chase after him!" Zhang He's forehead was sweating, and he was able to avoid Tai Shici's attack and turn his horse's head. And he fled to his own ranks, but he cried out unforgivingly.

"Flee again? Zhang He! You say so. Where will you be able to escape in the future? ”

Tai Shi Ci retracted the halberd and lay it across the horse's back. said angrily to Zhang He's back.

Zhang He's martial arts are actually good, and Tai Shici did take it seriously, but he didn't expect Zhang He to get out of the battle like this. Now, Tai Shi Ci has just warmed up.

Of course, Tai Shici knew in his heart that if he wanted to kill Zhang He, it was estimated that he would have to be close to a hundred moves. Right now. This guy actually has the strength to fight again. Flee now, probably trying to lure yourself into chasing and killing.

Tai Shici naturally did not pursue, but waved his hand and let Gongsun Zan lead the army to chase and kill for a while.

said that it was a pursuit, but in fact, it was equivalent to Gongsun Zan leading a cavalry army to drive Cao's army back into the dense forest. Gongsun Zhan's military horses immediately withdrew as soon as they reached the edge of the mountain forest.

Following, the cavalry pressed the formation in the rear, and the cavalry soldiers. Everyone held bows and prepared for cavalry shooting, and then the infantry of the New Han army marched to the front.

First, with a bow and arrow, he fired a flurry of random shots into the dense forest. In the dense forest, all the Cao soldiers within two or three hundred steps were forced to retreat up the mountain.

followed, the soldiers of the New Han Army who had already made preparations. Everyone has an axe or a woodcutter, even. Some of the heavier Pu knives and Mo knives were mobilized for them to use.

Of course. There are also groups of soldiers in front of them, destroying the traps hidden in the mountains and forests on the roads. Then the men who were in charge of cutting down the trees came out.

Due to the small activity space of the mountain pass. The soldiers and horses of the New Han Army dispatched this time were actually less than 100,000 horses.

Gongsun Zhan's cavalry took up half of the men and horses as the crushing men, because once Cao's army launched an attack on the New Han army, his cavalry quickly stepped forward to intercept the enemy, so that the New Han army, which was responsible for cutting down trees, could withdraw first. In addition, the infantry also participated in the protection of a small number of centaurs. In other words, there are actually only about 20,000 soldiers of the New Han Army who are responsible for cutting down trees.

However, 20,000 people and horses cut down the dense forests of the mountains together, such a move will immediately have an immediate effect.

For a while, at the foot of the mountain, there was a dense sound of ping-pong.

This situation is really a bit like the logging teams of those lumberyards in later generations, with a creaking sound, hehehe One by one, the trees were cut down and fell.

At this time, Zhang He had already led his men and horses back to the military village in the mountains to be with Cao Ren. He was communicating with Cao Ren about the situation of fighting with Tai Shici, and he looked like he was palpitating.

But the two generals also discovered the situation under the mountain at this time, and like the nearby Cao soldiers, they were all a little stunned.

What's this New Han Army doing? How did you send so many men and horses to cut down the trees? Is there a shortage of wood for the New Han Army? Cut down so many trees.

However, in a few moments, they saw on the ridge that the dense woods below were decreasing at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.

Zhang He and Cao Ren looked at each other, and instantly realized what the New Han Army was doing, and they couldn't help but lose their voices: "Is this okay?" ”

That's right, such a move by the New Han Army is equivalent to directly destroying all the traps arranged by Cao Jun in the dense forest. And if the New Han Army cuts down all the woods, then the military village on this mountain range is equivalent to being directly exposed to the nose of the New Han Army and losing the protection of the dense forest.

What's more, when the New Han Army cut down all the woods between the mountains, then the military villages on the various mountains were divided by the New Han Army one by one. When the time comes, it will become the Cao army surrounded by the New Han army on the mountain.

In addition, when the New Han army cut down trees, they were also very clever, not from the roots of the trees, but from half a person's height, so that after cutting off the trees and removing the tree poles, the stump of that piece of tree was equivalent to a stake array that could block the rolling stones and trees rolling down the mountain. This one is still natural, quite strong and firm, and can completely withstand the impact of rolling rocks on the mountain.

Cao Ren and Zhang He were naturally unwilling to let their arrangement in the mountains in this area be so easily broken by the New Han army. They also attacked from time to time, trying to attack and kill from the mountains to stop the New Han Army's deforestation operations.

It's a pity that the New Han Army is not afraid of them coming to fight at all, but afraid that they will not come, so after several days of fighting, it is inevitable that the New Han Army will approach their military fortress on the mountain range.

Seeing that they could divide and surround their military fortress and make their military village a lone army, Cao Ren and Zhang He had to take the initiative to evacuate the mountain range in advance and retreat to another mountain mountain military village.

With the first successful example, the next steps are much faster.

Because of the capture of the Cao army's military village in the mountains outside the mountain pass, the New Han Army had more room to move, and more New Han Army military horses advanced out of the mountain pass.

In this way, Cao Ren and Zhang He were no longer reconciled and helpless, so they had to retreat on all fronts.

In fact, if Cao Ren and Zhang He didn't want to lose their troops, they had to withdraw from the military fortress in the mountains and dense forests, otherwise, sooner or later they would have to be divided and surrounded and annihilated by the New Han army.

However, to say that there are 1,000 ways and 10,000 is still a relationship between the two armies' combat effectiveness that is too far apart. The bravery of the Cao army is only relative to the previous princes of the world, but compared to the current New Han army, their combat effectiveness is really not superior. In the process of sending troops to block the deforestation operation of the New Han Army, it was their Cao army that suffered more.

At this time, Cao Ren and Zhang He seriously discussed the military order that Cao Cao had recently sent. I feel that it is not easy to fight a decisive battle with the Xinhan army for the time being, because with their current strength and combat effectiveness, they do not have an advantage. If he really wants to defend Jinan, then his hundreds of thousands of Cao troops may not be able to return to Xudu at that time. All of them have to be wiped out by the New Han Army.

This is not a question of whether they dare to fight or not, but they think about it and feel that they have no chance of winning. In this way, Cao's army was fully evacuated from Jinan and officially announced the abandonment of the entire Yanzhou.

At this time, the New Han Army's deforestation operation had not yet been fully launched, and it was just a dense forest cleared all the way forward. If Cao Jun did not retreat, Tai Shici and Gongsun Zhan would really dare to cut down all the woods in this area of tens of miles.

Or, Cao Jun will feel that the New Han Army's style of play is too scoundrel, but such a stupid method is the best way to restrain Cao Jun. Cao Jun could only watch, but he was helpless to take the New Han Army.

Who told them that they couldn't defeat the New Han Army? If they dare to fight, well, then fight. It's the same that they failed, so it's no wonder that the New Han Army is like this.

The Battle of Jinan developed into a deforestation project, which easily forced Cao's army to retreat without a fight.

Soon, Tai Shici and Gongsun Zan waved their army to Jinan, drove away the Cao army who did not have many left, and planted the Han Dragon Banner of the New Han Army on the head of Jinan, officially announcing the ownership of Jinan City. (To be continued.) )
