The four hundred and thirty-ninth round

(Yesterday the first day, the bottle had a day off.) Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info hehe! )

――――――――――――――――――――

Waiting is a very annoying thing, but Gan Ning and Huang Zhong can wait, and finally ......

"General Gan, wake up! Hosaku is back! ā€

Before the sky was bright, Gan Ning rubbed his eyes a few times, sat up from the sleeping seat and stretched his waist before asking the adjutant general: "What's the matter, wake me up early in the morning!" ā€

"General, make a detailed report, and the reinforcements from Jiuzhen converged and camped at a place more than fifty miles to the west last night, with about more than 10,000 people. The Admiral had just calculated that if they got up this morning, they would probably arrive here in the afternoon. General, please make a decision early! ā€

This reward immediately made Gan Ning completely sleepy, and suddenly stood up and rushed to the table to check the map. After looking at it for a while, Gan Ning muttered: "More than 10,000 people? That's a lot of people! The lord's plan to encircle the point to help has worked, and we can't put back any of the more than 10,000 people! If more than 10,000 people can be annihilated here, the purpose of the lord's dispatch of troops this time will be achieved. However, we only have about 3,000 people on hand, and it is really troublesome to deal with more than 10,000 enemy troops...... Immediately send someone to inform Old Man Huang, and say that the fish has been hooked, let's prepare to hook and close the net! ā€

"No!"

――――――――――――――――――――

Shiwen, a son of the Shi family, is not very good at doing it for talents, and belongs to the kind of character who is mediocre, but he is young and vigorous, arrogant and has no one in his eyes. Because he is a direct family member of the third generation of Shixie, he has mixed with the official position of a school captain, and he can be regarded as the number one person among the children of the Shi family at the address.

This time, Pucheng was besieged, and he was one of those who strongly advocated that reinforcements be sent immediately to rescue him. The reason is nothing more than that he just wants to lead the troops to the battle, and then win a beautiful battle, and when he comes back, he will be able to raise his eyebrows among the clan. There is another one, if he can earn enough fame and popularity, maybe he will have a chance to get involved with the county guard in the future.

The people sent by Jiuzhen are not direct descendants of the Shi family, and their official positions are not as high as Shi Wen, so they naturally have to obey Shi Wen's dispatch. After the two teams merged and the strength exceeded 10,000, basically half of the men and horses between the two places were here.

People who are arrogant and mediocre often ignore some details that they should pay attention to. Gan Ning set up an ambush on the main mountain road, he just randomly sent some scouts to explore the way, and after finding out what was going on, he waved his army straight to Hepu City. According to his original intention, the other party only had more than 2,000 people and horses to surround Hepu, and it was very easy for his more than 10,000 men and horses to open a way into Hepu. And after joining up with the Hepu defenders, the next thing is to directly fight the opponent.

The other party only has more than 2,000, and there are more than 10,000 reinforcements led by him here, and counting the three or four thousand in Hepu City, how many times is this more than the other party? To put it mildly, you can kill each other by taking people and piling them up, so what is there to worry about? After the battle, I called it a day and went back to drink wine, eat meat, and play with women...... It should be said that under normal circumstances at that time, Shiwen's thinking was not wrong.

However, when he crossed the mountain road and approached Hepu City, he suddenly found that about a thousand troops were already in battle on the main road, and the leading general on the opposite side was a veteran who already had half of the silver threads in his head.

The team was in a hurry to line up in formation, Shiwen's heart was a little calm, and he was even laughing at the veteran on the opposite side in his heart. Laugh at the veteran for not attacking him when he is not in formation, in that case he will likely break his army directly. Now that his formation has been reorganized, and the advantage in the strength of the army is so obvious, this makes the scholar have a little confidence that he can defeat the opponent, and he jumped out of the battle and scolded: "Old man, who is you, why did you offend me Jiaozhou boundary?" Are you tired of living a long life? Now that my army has arrived, I advise you to dismount and be captured quickly, and I can still leave you an old life to go home to retire! ā€

Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows and sneered a few times with disdain. Huang Zhong: How many years have you been a soldier? At this time, I can see at a glance that the young player on the opposite side has no ability, and if I really can't do it with myself, I can cut down the horse with a knife, and I even feel that it is a little tasteless to fight with such an opponent. But after waiting for so long, now that there is a battle to fight and merit to stand, Huang Zhong is better than nothing. The reason why he didn't attack just now while the opponent's formation was not in formation was because Huang Zhong had not yet received the signal that Gan Ning had cut off the opponent's retreat.

In line with the intention of delaying the time, Huang Zhong slowly raised his knife to designate Shiwen, and did not leave any emotion on his lips: "The old man is the general of Yizhou Pastoral Tent, and Huang Zhonghuang Hansheng of Nanyang is also!" Little doll, I see that you have not dried up, there is no hair on your mouth, and you must not have half the ability on your body, the old man really does not want to do anything with you, lest others say that the old man bullies the small with the big in the future. I advise you to surrender early, otherwise it would be a pity to lose your life at the hands of the old man. ā€

Shiwen's nose almost crooked when he heard it, and it was okay to say anything unkind before the two armies, but Huang Zhong didn't even ask his name, so you can imagine how much this is despising him. Pointing at Huang Zhong in a fit of rage, he couldn't speak, and he even forgot to order the soldiers to attack.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong sneered a few times, raised his eyes to look at the mountains in the distance, and saw a thick smoke rising up, so he laughed loudly: "Little doll, the old man is going to do it!" ā€

The big knife in his hand pointed forward, accompanied by the sound of powerful war drums, and the Yizhou soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly moved forward with the drum beat. Compared with the Jiaozhou soldiers on the opposite side, who were quite disorganized, everything in the Yizhou soldiers seemed so orderly, and even the alternating steps were uniform.

Boom, boom, boom......

Don't look at the more than 1,000 soldiers brought by Huang Zhong, but there are more than 10,000 Jiaozhou soldiers, but at this moment, in the roar of the drums and foot soldiers, the hair in my heart is Shiwen and the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command. Yes, the number of Jiaozhou soldiers is large, about ten times that of Yizhou soldiers, but what kind of soldiers are Jiaozhou soldiers?

To put it nicely, the Jiaozhou soldiers are all trilogy; To put it mildly, all these Jiaozhou soldiers brought by Shiwen were just some patchwork troops. To be precise, the administrative structure of the Jiaozhou area at that time could not make up any decent army, because Jiaozhou at that time was basically composed of some powerful landlords singing the leading role, and the situation of raising private troops was very serious.

Strictly speaking, this is also in line with the military service system at that time, and it can even be said that until the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms era, the armies of Wei and Shu were state-owned, but Sun Quan's Wu State was still this kind of private soldier system of the wealthy family, which indirectly caused the offensive ability of the army of Wu to be extremely poor...... The soldiers are all raised by themselves, so why do you have to work hard to help you expand your territory?

It's a bit of a stretch, anyway, the biggest drawback of this kind of military service system at present is that it is not uniform enough in all aspects. And the army cobbled together in this way is okay to fight a good battle, but once it encounters a hard idea, its disadvantages will be fully revealed. Moreover, there has never been any war in Jiaozhou in the past 20 years, and the Jiaozhou army has been so loose that even peacetime training is very rare, and there is no actual combat experience at all. Now looking at the Yizhou military formation on the opposite side approaching step by step, the Jiaozhou soldiers with the advantage in numbers involuntarily retreated step by step, and some characters who had not been in the army for a long time were even turning their calves.

On the other hand, the training of the soldiers of Yizhou and Liangzhou in Lu Ren's hands has always been very strict, not only has a strong man like Gao Shun preside over the training, but Lu Ren often rewards the troops with excellent training performance, and under the effect of sticks and sweet dates, the basic combat effectiveness of the Yizhou soldiers is relatively solid.

In addition, Gan Ning and Huang Zhong are not fuel-efficient lamps, especially the addition of Huang Zhong, an experienced veteran, has once again improved the training content of the soldiers, making the Yizhou soldiers already an elite division in terms of training level. And what these soldiers under Lu Ren really lacked was actual combat experience, and the former's Guiyang offensive battle was really not worth mentioning in a sense.

Although the scale of this operation against Hepu was not large, it was also a good opportunity for the soldiers of Yizhou to gain actual combat experience. Lu Ren doesn't know much about military affairs, but he also knows that a soldier who has not really been on the battlefield and received a baptism of blood and fire is not a good soldier, not to mention that this is in the era of cold weapon combat, and the courage of the soldiers on the battlefield often determines the final battle situation.

This time, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning commanded a total of more than 5,000 troops, of which about half were veterans who had been in the army for several years, and the other more than 2,000 were new soldiers who had only been recruited last winter and this spring. With these veterans of long-trained training taking the lead in the army, recruits know what to do right away.

Maybe these Yizhou soldiers can't compare with the real elite of Cao, Liu, and Sun in terms of morale and fighting spirit, but there is no problem with these soft persimmons in Jiaozhou, which are equivalent to rookies. When these Yizhou soldiers have received the real baptism of war, the strong soldiers will become the elite soldiers of the hundred battles.

The war drums were rumbling, the footsteps were roaring, and the Yizhou military formation was only a stone's throw away from the Jiaozhou military formation. Shiwen looked at the strict lineup on the opposite side, and then looked at the fear on the faces of the soldiers around him, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, knowing that if this continued, the Jiaozhou army would likely collapse without a fight. As soon as he bit his heart and crossed his heart, he raised the spear in his hand and swung it forward again, shouting: "Beat the drum, march into the army!" ā€

Put together! There are more than 10,000 Jiaozhou troops, but there are only about 1,000 people in Yizhou, maybe as soon as the drum sounds, the Jiaozhou army of more than 10,000 can rush forward to crush the other party. Although Shiwen's idea is not correct, it cannot be said to be a mistake. People are like this, they have been avoiding and always being afraid that they will definitely lose, and they can often fight with courage when they let go of their courage to fight.

But just when the drums of the Jiaozhou army just sounded, Huang Zhong suddenly raised the big knife pointed at the other party above his head, the tip of the knife pointed straight to the sky, and shouted in his mouth: "Stop in the front formation, line up guns and shields to defend the formation!"
