Chapter 208: Repeated Emergencies

Knock knock

The loud war drums roared, and the flags rolled up, smashing the rear army of the Hebei Army at the east gate.

At the front of the formation, Guan Hai roared violently and rode out of the horse.

Eight thousand Moyun cavalry soldiers, like the tide of the collapsed embankment, surging towards the Hebei army under the city that was fighting fiercely with the defenders of the east gate.

Kill!

Whether it was Guan Hai or Mo Yunqi, they were all extremely excited, this was the first time that Guan Hai had led his troops to attack the enemy formation alone, and it was also a rare independent battle for Mo Yunqi without a white horse from the joint attack.

The Hebei army under the city was attacking the city at the cost of life and death, and no one expected that a terrifying cavalry would suddenly attack from behind, and the scattered formation could not resist the impact of the Moyun cavalry at all.

Woo Woo Woo ~ The buzzing sound of the air tearing suddenly exploded, and thousands of crossbow arrows rose into the air, like a meteor shower, overwhelmingly tilting towards the rear of the Hebei Army.

The neighing of horses, the cracking of flesh and bones, the screams, all the noises converged into a terrifying music from the netherworld and hell.

The severed limbs were flying wildly, and the blood was rushing, but the crossbow arrows of Mo Yunqi did not stop, and after a ** yellow crossbow, it was followed by Zhuge Repeater.

The only disadvantage of Zhuge Repeater is that the range is short, it can only be fired within fifty steps, and the real effective killing distance is actually within forty steps, under the gallop of the cavalry, even if Zhuge Repeater can shoot continuously, it can only shoot three arrows, but this is enough, after three rounds of arrow rain, the enemy has been shot down thousands of people.

Finally, when the enemy was within ten paces, there was another round of crossbows, and thousands of people fell to the ground.

Moyun ride,

In terms of equipment configuration, it is almost the same as the white horse Yicong, the difference is only the individual soldier and the overall combat effectiveness, after all, the military horse is one of the elite people selected from a hundred, but in this era it is also enough to sweep the world.

The Hebei infantry who had time to line up to meet the battle in the future had already suffered several rounds of arrow rain, and the formation was even more scattered. Just when the generals of the Hebei Army had just reacted, the eight thousand Moyun Cavalry had already slammed into the enemy group viciously with their dazzling skulls.

Such an elite cavalry faced the foot soldiers who were in a hurry to meet the battle, and there was no suspense at all, with the cold light shining from the sharp skullsword. The infantry of the rear army of the Hebei Army were either knocked into the air or cut into pulp, and the spears and halberds in their hands were cut off one after another under the chopping of the skull.

The real spear halberd wooden pole is made of mulberry wood or camphor wood through a cumbersome process. It is even tougher than iron, but how can Yuan Shao have the time and financial resources to make such a spear for a while, and the guns in the hands of most soldiers are ordinary wood, how can they block the chopping of the skull.

In the blink of an eye, eight thousand Moyun cavalry had already broken into the Dongmen Hebei army, rampaging through the crowd, slashing and slashing.

In desperation, although Yuan Shao was so angry, he had to order to stop the siege and turn around. Drink ordered the 100,000-strong army to surround the 8,000 Moyun cavalry, and wanted to trap this cavalry in the formation.

Once the cavalry is surrounded by several times or even more than ten times the enemy army, it will be fatal, because the real horror of the cavalry lies in the violent impact of the wild rush, once the momentum gradually slows down, the attack power will become weaker, in such a situation surrounded by more than ten times the enemy army, it is likely that the whole army will be annihilated.

Woo woo woo~

Guo Jia, who was on the tower of the city, saw it really and urgently ordered the trumpet to withdraw his troops.

Guan Hai heard the call to withdraw his troops at the head of the city, and immediately led his troops before the enemy army formed a strict and orderly encirclement. led the crowd to ride back and break through.

However, he did not run far, only stopped hundreds of paces away from the enemy.

As a result, the Hebei army became in a dilemma. If you attack the city with all your might, you are worried about the surprise attack of the Moyun Cavalry, and if you pursue the Moyun Cavalry with all your strength, you can only follow the ashes behind the Moyun Cavalry. Eight thousand Moyun riders equipped with big yellow crossbows and Zhuge repeaters have extremely fast mobility, and the defensive power of the strong bows and hard crossbows at the head of the city is also amazing. In a hurry, it was impossible for the Hebei army to attack the city and defend at the same time.

The sun is setting, and the remnant sun is like blood.

Yuan Shao looked at the sky, so he had to order the troops to be collected, set up camp, and at the same time step down the fence and antlers around the camp to prevent the Moyun Cavalry from sneaking up.

In the next few days, the offensive and defensive battles were still in a stalemate, and although the Hebei army was several times larger than the Gongsun army, it was never able to surpass the first step of the city.

In fact, when Lu Bu was besieged by Cao Cao in history, Chen Gong also offered troops to divide into two routes, one way to defend the city, and one way to harass each other, echoing each other, but unfortunately Lu Bu was finally burdened by his wife and did not accept this plan, otherwise he might not have been defeated so quickly.

……

The Hebei army camp is in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yuan Shaozheng and a group of strategists and generals were discussing in the tent, and the generals were at a loss for Guo Jia's rogue tricks.

Fu Zhu smiled slightly: "Why worry about the lord, when the eldest prince takes Jicheng, and then breaks the white horse righteousness, Yicheng will become a lonely city, and it will naturally be broken, why should Ming Gong be in a hurry?" ”

The generals even claimed that it was, and Yuan Shao's face softened slightly.

For Yuan Tan, who attacked Youzhou, he was still more relieved, Gongsun Bai's troops were dragged by him in the south and west, Jicheng was only two or three thousand defenders, Yuan Tan not only had 40,000 elite horsemen in hand, but also the strategist Guo Tu beside him, and it was naturally not a problem to break Jicheng.

As for the five thousand white horse servants who Gongsun Bai went to the rescue, it was naturally not a problem. Although the white horse is brave, he may not be able to win in the face of eight times the number of foot soldiers, let alone eight times the number of cavalry?

A pro-soldier hurriedly entered, reached the bottom of the steps, and shouted: "Lord Lord, in the battle of Jicheng, the eldest prince was defeated by Gongsun Bai's White Horse Yicong, and he has retreated west to Beipingyi. ”

As soon as this news came out, the originally lively lobby was suddenly silent, and the smiling faces were suddenly shocked by consternation.

The wine glass that Yuan Shao raised to his mouth also froze in mid-air, and his slightly smoky face burst out with astonishment.

After a long time, he hissed angrily and asked, "Bai Ma Yi has never been more than 5,000 people, isn't it a trick?" Guo Tu is a fool, Lao Tzu arranged for him to be by the side of the eldest prince and give advice, is it because he eats dry rice? ”

Yuan Shao's anger is well-known, and when he heard that Yuan Tan was defeated, his first thought was to anger Guo Tu.

The pro-soldier said helplessly: "Lord Qiqi, Gongsun Bai's White Horse Yicong fought directly with the eldest prince's Bingzhou military horse outside Jicheng, and there was no trickery. The eldest prince and Gongsun Bai fought outside Jicheng for a day and a night, seeing that Bai Ma Yicong was already unable to fight again, and victory was imminent, but Tian Yu of Beiping County on the right led the Wuhuan people to attack, and the eldest prince was also short of men and horses. Therefore, it is invincible. ”

Wen Chou exclaimed: "White Horse Yicong, is he so powerful? ”

5,000 defend 40,000, and the battle is a day and a night without winning or losing, how strong is this!

And it was even more difficult for Yuan Shao to accept. The Wuhuan people originally supported him by the clan, but they didn't expect to be slaughtered by Gongsun Bai, and after being suppressed strongly, they raised troops to rescue Gongsun Bai.

Immediately afterward, another pro-army hurried in. exclaimed, "Your lord." Sikong Cao Cao, the edict of the fake Son of Heaven, denounced the lord, and sent troops to attack Qingzhou, Jinan and Pingyuan County. ”

Another thunderbolt slashed into the hall, and everyone was already mutinous.

Yuan Shao's expression froze in a moment of horror, the green muscles on his face surged, the breath in his nose became heavier, and the emotions of shock and anger were like flames. The more he burned in his heart, the more he burned.

"Cao Agui, Zhuzian dares to bully me!"

Before they could savor the shocking news, a third urgent report was delivered.

"The lord of Qiqi, the horse is urgent, Gongsun Bai has already led 13,000 cavalry, from Jicheng to the south, galloping to Yicheng, already two hundred miles away, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro has led an army of 100,000 to attack Beixincheng and the east of Bingzhou."

The third emergency report came out. In the lobby, there was an immediate uproar. The crowd was in an uproar, all the wine was swept away, and the entire hall was instantaneous. Because of these three astonishing reports. Caught in a panic.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "Lord, Gongsun Bai and Cao Mengde and Zhang Yan have become powerful, and our army has missed the opportunity to break Youzhou, and now the wind and snow will rise." Why don't you lead the troops back and fight again next year. ”

Yuan Shao was furious: "Lao Tzu still has 100,000 troops and horses here, why do you want to retreat?" ”

The judge hurriedly said: "Our army is all foot soldiers, and now its troops are divided into two routes, it is difficult to break the city, plus Gongsun Bai's 13,000 cavalry, even if it is undefeated, it is difficult to break the city, why waste grain and grass in vain again?" ”

Everyone understands in their hearts that 5,000 white horses can fight against 40,000 Bingzhou cavalry, once Gongsun Bai's two cavalry will meet, they will be 20,000 cavalry together, and Yuan Shao's 100,000 cavalry will barely defend at most, and if they are not careful, the whole army will be annihilated, because they have Yi Shui on their backs, and once the army is defeated, there is no way to escape.

Infantry vs. cavalry, even if Xiang Yu is here, it may not be easy to break the cauldron and sink the boat, because the other party is cavalry, and if you can't beat it, you can run, and the foot soldiers will fight against the water, and once you lose, it will be a dead end.

Although Yuan Shao was angry and unwilling in his heart, he could only accept the reality, and said helplessly: "Retire!" ”

……

On the banks of the Yishui River, the sun sinks in the west. The Hebei army was densely packed like ants on the west bank, with about 100,000 of them, driving the chariots and horses of the brigade, and was crossing the river in the first place.

On the river, a pontoon bridge made of fishing boats spans the north and south banks, which is a pontoon bridge plan offered to Yuan Shao by embezzling Gongsun Bai's strategy.

Nearly halfway through the river, a white-robed general trotted all the way to the river, and saw a middle-aged general, who looked extremely weak, walking alone by the river, looking at the bleak scenery on both sides, and muttering to himself.

The white-robed general, (uukansu.com) crossed his hands and saluted from afar: "Don't be frustrated, it's time to cross the river............ Gongsun Bai's cavalry is amazingly fast, it's better to cross the river early............"

The weak middle-aged general was frustrated, and he turned back to the white-robed general and said, "Zhengnan (trial character), what do you think of the situation?" ”

The judge sighed slightly: "The momentum of breaking Youzhou has been missed, and now that the three armies of Gongsun Bai, Zhang Yan and Cao Cao have joined forces, I am afraid that they will not be able to go north to attack Youzhou for the time being." For the sake of today's plan, only by uniting the highway and Lu Bu in Xuzhou and dragging Cao Mengde can it be possible to go north again. ”

He smiled and said, "In this army, only Zhengnan is very close to my heart. ”

Woo woo woo~

At that moment, a distant and passionate trumpet was suddenly heard from the north, like a hurricane.

Frustrated Zhu's face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "Hurry, hurry up and cross the river!" ”

PS: The night in Dongguan, it is already hot enough to turn on the fan, but the fan in the dormitory is not adjustable, it is hot if it is not turned on, and it is cold when it is opened...... (To be continued.) )
