Chapter 134: Catching the Old Thief in the Grass
As soon as Li De heard his senior brother's words, he hurried over and looked down the mountain, and Dr. Liu had divine eyes and could see much farther than him, so he found Guo Wuchang in golden armor at first sight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Deyi only saw the Jin army's brigade of soldiers and horses before, and did not find where Guo Wuchang was, this time he followed what his senior brother pointed out, and sure enough, he saw a big Guo banner, Guo Wuchang was wearing a golden and blind armor, and was riding a horse under the banner.
In fact, generals at the level of Guo Wuchang all have a set of quite gorgeous armor, most of which are given by the lord or specially made by skilled craftsmen, and are worn when encountering major victories or great court meetings, as special armor for ceremonies. When you go to the battlefield to fight, you don't wear it like this, wearing a golden helmet and gold armor, isn't that a target for the marksman on the opposite side? People who dare to wear it like this are purely disgusted with their own lives. Generally, after going to the battlefield, they will wear a set of dark armor, which is inconspicuous, and second, after the steel armor is made, it is generally dark gray.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything, according to folk mouth, according to legend, the founding general of Ping Zhou Taizu, Zhao Shichu, who left a golden body on the Jinding platform, has fought countless battles in his life, wearing a white helmet and white armor, and likes to wear a set of white coats. In this way, Zhao Shichu has experienced a hundred battles in his life, killed countless enemies, and there is not a single wound on his body, only a sword wound on his left hand.
Guo Wuchang wore this golden helmet and armor today, but it was not to show off his ability. According to Guo Wuchang's calculations, since Weibei Camp came to rob his grain this time, now he has seen his banner and so many people, and he has come out wearing such a dazzling armor. Weibei Camp should know that the plan has been seen through by itself, and retreating in the face of difficulties is the best policy.
Guo Wuchang's plan is very good, but unfortunately he doesn't know that Weibei Camp is now in charge of two young boys with strong blood, and although the older one is stable, it is still not as calm as those veterans. The people didn't plan to sneak attack at all, and they set up an ambush, but they robbed Daoming and robbed it.
"Order the soldiers, immediately go down to guard the intersection, put up a formation, and wait for the Jin army's men and horses to approach!" "Yes!" The soldiers of the Weibei battalion were ordered to go back and start picking up, putting on armor, polishing knives and guns, and lined up, under the leadership of Xiao Liu, all of them came from the mountain to the middle of the path below, blocking the road that Guo Wuchang's grain team must pass, and put on a formation. Li Deyi, Li Wuyi, and Wang Zhuangbiao were also ready and came to the middle of the array to wait.
The Weibei camp set up a very common defensive phalanx, firmly occupied this road, and quietly waited for Guo Wuchang's men and horses to arrive. The Jin army obviously scattered a large number of scouts in advance, and found the Weibei battalion blocking the road in front of them early. When the news arrived, Guo Wuchang was taken aback, he thought that he had put on such a big battle, and he was personally in charge, so the Weibei camp should retreat in difficulty. Now it seems that the Weibei camp not only refuses to retreat, but has the meaning of breaking its wrists.
In the end, it was a general who was used to fighting, seeing that he had not been able to scare off the Weibei battalion by open fire, Guo Wuchang quickly adjusted his mentality, snorted coldly, and then loudly pointed out a captain under his command, and asked him to take two thousand foot soldiers to go first, act as a vanguard, and seize the advantageous battle situation for the army first. Guo Wuchang's arrangement was cunning and abnormal, he knew that the Weibei Battalion was powerful, and his two thousand foot soldiers would not be able to take advantage of it at all. , so as soon as he waited for these foot soldiers to leave, he immediately called the thousand cavalry over, personally led the thousand cavalry away from the three thousand foot soldiers behind him and the three thousand remaining militia soldiers, and then quietly walked around the path. Obviously, Guo Wuchang planned to use infantry to contain the Weibei battalion head-on, and he led the cavalry to sneak attack around the path.
Since the Jin army chose this road as the grain route, they must have already figured out the terrain of all places along this road. Guo Wuchang knew that there was a small mountain road near this grain road, which could be detoured to the back of Weibeiying, although the road was a little rugged, but it was in the mountains, and it was very hidden. Guo Wuchang's idea was to let his two thousand foot soldiers be used as bait, and at the critical moment of the battle between the two sides, he directly led the cavalry to rush into the rear of the Weibei battalion, and defeated the entire formation of the Weibei battalion in one fell swoop. This battle is to teach the Weibei battalion a hard lesson, and to revitalize the morale that has been depressed because of the defeat in the previous battle.
Not only that, Guo Wuchang also made two arrangements in advance in this battle, if the two axes in front of him are not effective, the three thousand infantry in the back are the final guarantee. Although he felt that the Weibei battalion was very strong, after fighting with his own 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, he must be extremely tired, and when the time came, his 3,000 troops would definitely be able to win in one fell swoop.
Guo Wuchang's wishful thinking crackled, and he quietly set off with a thousand cavalry. On the side of the Weibei Battalion, Medical Officer Xiao Liu did a good job of preparing for the battle step by step, and carefully checked the surrounding terrain to make sure that he knew it well. The rest of the matter is to wait for the soldiers and horses of the Jin army to appear from the other side of the road.
It was almost noon, and the soldiers and horses of the Jin army finally appeared on the other side of the road. Xiao Liu's medical officer took a closer look and found that the infantry who came was still under the banner of Guo Wuchang, but he didn't see Guo Wuchang's people, "It seems that this should be the people of Guo Wuchang's headquarters, and this time he also took out his old book." This Guo Wuchang was not confused, and when it was time to fight, he actually took off his golden armor again. "Medical Officer Xiao Liu didn't know at this time that Guo Wuchang had already left with the cavalry first, and he was only in command behind the battle when he was about to fight. After a little thought, Medical Officer Xiao Liu immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Array!" Get ready to meet the enemy! "Hey...... Drink! The 3,000 foot soldiers of the Weibei battalion shouted in unison, responding to the commander's order.
This Jin army also walked for a day, came to meet the supply convoy, and now rushed back to fight with the Weibei battalion, and the soldiers were a little tired at this time. According to the meaning of this leading captain, there is no need to rush into battle, first let the army stop a hundred steps away from the Weibei camp, hold the position tightly, wait for the follow-up foot soldiers to follow, and then the army will converge in one place, and then defeat the Weibei camp together, this is the best policy.
It was a good idea, but he didn't know that the infantry of the Weibei Battalion had undergone completely different training, and they kept the array in a hundred steps forward, which was just the daily training content. When Medical Officer Xiao Liu saw that these two thousand foot soldiers actually stopped moving, he immediately reacted, they were waiting for the follow-up troops to follow, and wanted to join forces. Thinking of this, Dr. Xiao Liu immediately made a decision and ordered in a loud voice: "Come in!" Rush up and crush them! ”
The 3,000 foot soldiers of the Weibei battalion moved with the order and began to advance forward. At the first dozens of steps, the Jin army had not yet raised vigilance, because if they were usually foot soldiers to engage the enemy, they often had to walk to within forty steps of the enemy on foot, and then line up and come together in a formation for a decisive battle. It's not that the Jin army doesn't want to line up in advance, but if they line up a hundred steps in advance, and before they can get in front of the enemy, their own infantry formation will already be scattered, and the foot soldiers will be easily defeated if they have no formation to rely on. The infantry of the Jin army marched forward in formation, and they could only keep the formation of twenty paces unchaotic.
When he found that the Weibei battalion had walked sixty steps forward and still did not stop the whole team, the captain of the Jin army began to find that something was wrong. Guo Wuchang's lieutenant hurriedly ordered his soldiers to line up and prepare for battle, but unfortunately it was too late. By the time the Jin army had lined up in formation, the Weibei battalion had already walked only a dozen steps away from them at this time.
"Kill!" Medical Officer Xiao Liu shouted, and the soldiers of the Weibei battalion pounced like a tide. Wang Zhuangbiao, Li Deyi, and Li Wuving secretly paid attention to the Jin army command post when they were in the formation.
As soon as the two sides fought, the Jin army was completely stunned by the unreasonable charge of the Weibei battalion, the soldiers of the Weibei battalion were in a neat array, the spears in the front row were like a forest, and the spears in the back row were stabbed out in the first row, and they passed through the gap of the pikemen in the front row and stabbed down the soldiers in the second row of the Jin army.
On the other hand, on the Jin army's side, in comparison, the entire formation seemed to be chaotic, with pikemen holding spears in twos and threes, not at all, and their own sword and shield hands were even lagging behind, still rushing forward in a hurry. With this charge, the Weibei battalion completely crushed the front row of the two thousand Jin army foot soldiers. As soon as the soldiers in the front row of the Jin army were defeated, the rear row of foot soldiers could not withstand the tight offensive that followed by the tide of the Weibei battalion. Not to mention that there were three fierce men in the Weibei camp, like three sharp knives, they stabbed into the flesh of the Jin army, disrupting the formation of the Jin army.
The Jin army was caught off guard, and they didn't expect that the infantry of the Weibei battalion would fight so fiercely, and they suffered a big loss in the first battle. But he, the captain who led the troops, deserved to be ordered by Guo Wuchang himself, and he still had two shots, seeing that the situation was not good. actually pressed up directly with his own soldiers, and saw that he really stabilized the back row soldiers who were about to collapse. As for the Jin army in the front row, which had been defeated by the Weibei battalion, it was already powerless at this time.
Although this Jin military captain relied on his own soldiers to supervise the battle and temporarily stabilized his position, he also leaked his position. The three people of the Weibei battalion originally chose a direction, in order to quickly find the command post of the Jin army, and there was no need to look for it now, just run directly to the rear of the Jin army, and this captain who was under the protection of the pro-soldiers came over.
Among the three, Wang Zhuangbiao was the strongest, and he rushed the fastest, and it didn't take long for him to rush to the front of the captain's personal army, and he carried the big iron shield to his chest, and directly collided with it. Wang Zhuangbiao's large iron shield has not had time to find someone to repair it since the last night when it broke through Xin County, and it is still in that twisted and deformed appearance at this time. But this did not affect Wang Zhuangbiao to exert his power, after all, the weight and iron spikes were still there. Wang Zhuangbiao fit into it, and immediately knocked out the three personal soldiers who were blocking the way in front of him, and then pulled out a big iron whip and began to smash left and right, trying to get closer to the commander of the captain.
As soon as the commander was attacked, he was too busy to take care of himself, and the entire formation of the Jin army became more and more chaotic, and it was about to be unable to support it. But this infantry is Guo Wuchang's headquarters descendants, and the other two lieutenants who are responsible for assisting saw that their formation was about to disperse, and immediately commanded their own soldiers, first stabilizing a circle of foot soldiers around them.
At this point in the battle, the three thousand foot soldiers of the entire Jin army were divided into three, and the three captains each controlled part of the soldiers.
At this moment, Guo Wuchang's cavalry finally went around the back of the Weibei battalion. Without saying a word, Guo Wuchang immediately led the cavalry to charge, and he didn't care that there were still more than 200 steps away from the Weibei camp. If he could not rush to the Weibei battalion before he completely crushed his own infantry, his plan to encircle would be declared a failure, and at that time, the victory or defeat would not be in his hands. Guo Wuchang, who has been in battle for a long time, will never allow this kind of thing to happen, and must seize this last opportunity to launch a deadly wave of charges towards the Weibei battalion.
At this time, Dr. Liu also heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves from behind. He didn't even have to turn his head back, he knew that this must be Guo Wuchang running behind his back. "Senior brother! Hurry up! Doctor Xiao Liu ran the original qi all over his body, and burst into a shout, and this sound instantly spread throughout the battlefield.
Hearing the words of Doctor Xiao Liu, Wang Zhuangbiao and the three of them no longer kept it, and directly burst out with their strongest means. Wang Zhuangbiao directly showed the true appearance of the white tiger on his head, and after a tiger roar, he rushed towards the lieutenant in fit, and all the people he touched were broken bones and tendons, vomited blood and flew out.
Li Deyi also slapped the "Humvee" under his crotch, and the "Hummer" directly ran the original qi all over the body, and the whole body instantly became as hard as steel, and one person and one mule directly entered the other captain's personal formation.
Li Wushu slammed the big iron rod in his hand to the ground, smashed out a bloody path, and killed the commander in front of him.
The outcome of this battle depends on whether Guo Wuchang's horse is fast, or Li Deyi and the three are one step faster.
