When he saw the rushing Zhang army, but there were only more than 5,000 soldiers, a moment of surprise immediately turned into disdain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't say that it is 5,000 people, even if you kill the whole army, you don't want to break through my iron array, Zhang Yuan, I think you are really arrogant, this time you are looking for death, and no one can save you."

With a murderous burst in his eyes, Yang Qiu snorted coldly, drew his knife and big hand, and shouted: "Order the front army to stop, and the crossbowmen will release arrows at will, and shoot me to death." ”

The flag of the Chinese army waved, and the Liangzhou iron array of more than 30,000 people slowed down in an instant, and behind the sword and shield hands, nearly 3,000 crossbowmen fired arrows in response.

Arrows like rain came all over the world, falling towards the charging Xiao Maha army.

The salvo of 3,000 crossbowmen is so dense that the rain of arrows is so dense that it is so lethal that it is not trivial.

Among the arrows that flew from the locusts, Zhang Jun's soldiers were constantly hit by arrows and fell in pools of blood, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were nailed to the ground.

In the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, none of these elite soldiers were afraid, and they still held a round shield, resisted the rain of arrows, and charged without hesitation.

Although Xiao Maha questioned Zhang Yuan's order, he did not retreat in the slightest, brandishing a big gun to block the incoming arrows, and on the other hand, he scolded the soldiers for not fearing life and death and advancing bravely.

"It is worthy of my Zhang Yuan's elite man"

Looking at his brave charging soldiers, Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

In the face of such a dense rain of arrows, if it was replaced by the soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu, I am afraid that they would have been defeated long ago, and only an army with iron discipline can still remain unchaotic.

After paying more than 500 sacrifices, Xiao Maha led the soldiers and finally approached to the range of 30 steps of the enemy's formation.

Just one step away, they will be able to crash into the enemy line.

A hand-to-hand battle with a huge disparity in number is about to begin, and the soldiers of the Zhang army are all determined to die and have realized it.

And Yang Qiu, who was in the Central Military Department, was even more smug and cold.

He was ready to sit and watch his soldiers and horses slaughter Zhang's rushing army, and use a big victory to wipe out Zhang Yuan's prestige.

Then, he could take advantage of the victory to pursue, along with Zhang Yuan's remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses, and slaughter Zhang Yuan with his own hands, to avenge his dead general.

The two armies collided, only in the blink of an eye.

At the last moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "Mingjin, collect the troops." ”

Mingjin.

The generals on the left and right were dumbfounded, and looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise one by one, thinking that their ears had misheard.

"Husband, the battle between the two armies is imminent, if you are so golden, General Xiao will definitely be defeated, if the enemy army takes advantage of the situation to overwhelm us, our whole army will be crushed." The face of the rouge flower around him also changed, and he reminded him anxiously.

"It's good to be defeated, I'm afraid he won't be defeated."

The corners of Zhang Yuan's mouth raised slightly, a mysterious sneer flashed in his eyes, and he said sharply: "Don't give the order quickly, give me Mingjin and withdraw the troops." ”

will be like a mountain, who has the courage to disobey.

Bell, bell, bell.

The rapid sound of gold suddenly rang out.

"What's the situation," Xiao Maha, who had rushed to the enemy for more than ten paces, suddenly heard the sound of gold, and his face immediately changed in shock.

The enemy army is dozens of paces away, and if he turns around and retreats at this time, the enemy army takes advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and he does not have to be defeated.

Not only will his 5,000 men be defeated, but the enemy army will be killed all the way, and even the 5,000 Chinese troops commanded by Zhang Yuan will be crushed together.

"Collect the troops at this time, but if you have committed a taboo in the art of war, how can the lord be so confused," Xiao Maha was incessant, and he couldn't figure out which tendon Zhang Yuan was holding if he wanted to break the skin.

The military order is like a mountain, but he has no right to question, even if Xiao Maha is unwilling to do a hundred more, he will never dare to violate Zhang Yuan's iron law.

"The sound of gold has sounded, the whole army retreats, give me a retreat." Xiao Maha had no choice but to grit his teeth and turn his horse back first.

He turned his horse's head and retreated northward, and the five thousand soldiers of Zhang Jun behind him, who were also shocked, were all angry, and they all followed Xiao Maha towards the rear.

Yang Qiu also changed color.

However, he was not stunned, but surprised.

"Withdrawing troops from the battle, the art of war is taboo, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, you are bringing about your own destruction."

Yang Qiu was already ecstatic in a blink of an eye, drew his sword and shouted: "Beat the drum, the whole army will give me the opportunity to pursue, kill the enemy thieves in one fell swoop, and get Zhang Yuan's head, and reward a thousand gold." ”

The Yang family is the largest family in Jingxiang, and some of them have money, in order to avenge their Song Qian, Yang Qiu has made a bloody investment.

"General Yang, Zhang Yuan only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is already suspicious, and now he suddenly retreats, this move is quite suspicious, the last general thinks that the general should not pursue rashly, but he is afraid that he will fall into Zhang Yuan's plan to lure the enemy."

Beside him, the general who reminded him was the general of Jingbei Su.

Yang Qiu's body shook slightly, and his brain, which was carried away by the anger of revenge, immediately sobered up a little and regained his composure.

He immediately realized that his command of the right talent was a bit too much.

"Hmph, Zhang Thief, you want to play tricks with me to lure the enemy, who am I, Yang Qiu, how can I fall for you?"

Yang Qiu sneered, and then shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army must not pursue too quickly, and must keep the formation unchaotic for me." ”

When the order was passed, the Liangzhou army of more than 30,000 people pursued wantonly without cracking the formation, continued to maintain the formation, and steadily rolled towards the defeated Zhang army.

The enemy army did not dare to pursue in a split formation, and the speed was naturally not fast, which gave Xiao Maha's army the opportunity to retreat in time.

The 5,000 soldiers retreated all the way under the rain of arrows, and after paying more than 700 corpses, they finally retreated beyond the range of the enemy.

"Yang Qiu didn't rush to pursue, it seems that there are people around him to remind him, but it's a pity, in order to get the Son of Heaven, you can only be led by my nose, and you have to chase if you don't chase"

Zhang Yuan sneered, looked up and saw that Xiao Maha's army had retreated, so he turned his horse and left, leading the whole army to retreat north.

The 10,000 "defeated army" retreated all the way north along the avenue, and soon withdrew to the south bank of the river a few miles away.

As long as Zhang's army retreats from this water, he can take advantage of the terrain to temporarily delay the enemy's pursuit, and he can take the opportunity to widen the distance from the enemy's pursuers.

The water is not a big water system, and in the summer, it is only barely boating, and the water level does not seem to be counted.

Zhang Yuan immediately ordered the whole army to wade across the river and flee to the opposite bank in a hurry.

Behind him, Yang Qiu's army, like a wolf and a tiger, soon followed.

"After playing so many tricks, it turned out that you just wanted to lure me into chasing me across the river, so that I could give me a half-cross attack, Zhang Yuan, you also underestimate me Yang Qiu."

The river in front of him blocked the way, and Yang Qiu suddenly realized, thinking that he had seen through Zhang Yuan's "small skill of carving insects".

After some disdainful ridicule, Yang Qiu didn't dare to act rashly, and sent a team of soldiers and horses to explore the depth of the water.

Seeing that Zhang Jun could wade across the river, but there was no boat nearby, Yang Qiu also wanted to wade across the river and pursue him.

Soon after, the scout reported that the river had only passed through the lacquer cover, and was not very deep.

"Is it ridiculous that such shallow water can stop me from pursuing?"
