Chapter 33: The Beginning of the Great War
"You said it nicely, when Yuan Tan invaded, why did you retreat without a fight and surrender all the counties in the north to Yuan Tan, if not, how could Yuan Jun drive straight into the hinterland of my party. www.biquge.info" Fan Lihua asked, with a clear hint of reproach in her tone.
Zhang Yuan looked at Li Dingguo with a smile, "General Li shouldn't be afraid of Yuan Tan, you retreat without a fight, you should have your own intentions." ”
"Those who know the last general, the lord is also." Li Dingguo's sunken eyes, swept up a little relief, stroked his beard and said: "When Yuan Tan's army entered, there were a total of 10,000 people, and the last general retreated all the way south, so he induced Yuan Tan to drive forward in a hurry, leaving more than 5,000 soldiers and horses behind, otherwise there will be 10,000 Yuan family troops standing in front of us now." ”
Zhang Yuan realized and nodded knowingly.
Li Dingguo really deserves to be one of the famous generals of the anti-Qing Dynasty, proficient in the art of war, his move is to sacrifice space, in exchange for Yuan Tan's troops to be dispersed, as much as possible to weaken the number of soldiers and horses under Yuan Tan's soldiers in the city.
"The general's move is good, Yuan Tan has too many soldiers and horses, even if he wants to defend the city, he can't defend it, but he will lose the soldiers and horses in vain." Zhang Yuan nodded in praise, changed his words, and asked with a smile: "It seems that the general is confident and has already thought of a strategy to break the enemy." ”
"Cough cough cough ......" Li Dingguo suddenly coughed, as if he had just said something, which consumed a lot of his strength, and he began to weaken.
Zhang Yuan frowned, looking at Li Dingguo who almost coughed up his lungs, he couldn't help but be a little worried, this Li Dingguo's strength is indeed strong, but this body is also a little worse, one day he accidentally coughed to death, and his 89 points of benevolence didn't wait for the return to the original.
After coughing for a long time, Li Dingguo calmed down and gasped, "The last general has indeed thought of a strategy to break the enemy, but there is still a lack of an elite cavalry, if we can have a few hundred ......"
Before Li Dingguo finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded behind him, but he saw Yang Zhifeng ascending to the top of the city, and arched his hand: "Lord, the last general has two hundred cavalry, and when he heard that there was a war in Yangdu, he brought his troops to come in the starry night, so he didn't miss the battle." ”
Yang Zhi was sent to train cavalry, but he didn't expect to rush back at the time of the big war, and he also brought two hundred precious cavalry.
"Yang Zhi, you are really my timely rain, just in time." Zhang Yuanyi patted him on the shoulder and looked at Li Dingguo excitedly, "General Li, do you want an elite army, Yang Zhi's two hundred cavalry are enough?" ”
Li Dingguo's face was also filled with excitement, and he smiled and said: "The last thing we want is cavalry, even the heavens will help us in this battle, we will definitely win!" ”
……
The next day, early in the morning.
The sun rises in the east, and the golden glow spreads, dyeing the wilderness with a layer of gold.
Ten miles north of Yangdu, the Yuan army camp, 5,000 Yuan troops came out of the camp one after another, forming dozens of large and small, dozens of military formations, murderously pressing towards the direction of Yangdu City.
Under the battle flag, Yuan Tan was wearing golden armor, holding a long sword, and his heroic face was surging with innate noble and majestic atmosphere.
Those star-like eyes, half-open and half-closed, looking ahead, that calm and confident, as if as far as the eye could see, were his territory.
Today is the time for him to defeat Zhang Yuan, take Shangdang County, and make meritorious contributions to his father Yuan Shao.
"The eldest prince, Zhang Yuan dares to use 4,000 soldiers and horses to contend with our 5,000 elite soldiers, but I am afraid that there is fraud in it, and we have to be careful." Gao Gan, who followed by his side, couldn't help but persuade.
"Gao Gan, can you not be so bearish, in front of our absolute strength, even if he is treacherous, what is the use." Meng Dai of the other sarcastically said.
was directly ridiculed, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across Gao Gan's face, so he had to shut up and dare not say anything more.
The huge military formation of Yuan's army slowly moved forward, and thousands of steps away, the battle flag with the word "Zhang" entered the field of vision.
Under the banner of the Chinese army, Zhang Yuanzheng was fully armed and leisurely, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Jun.
Fan Lihua, the pear blossom and the captain of the personal guard, was protected by the side, and the cold face that had shown the charm of a girl was faintly flickering with a little jealousy.
"Rika, are you scared?" Zhang Yuan sensed her emotions and asked with a smile.
Fan Lihua took a light breath, shook her head and said, "Lihua is never afraid to go into battle to kill the enemy, I'm just worried about your safety, husband." ”
With the words of Pear Blossom, Zhang Yuan was enough, smiled with relief, shot directly at the enemy formation, and sneered: "In today's battle, no one can threaten us, just wait to see a good show." ”
In front of the two of them, four thousand Zhang family troops lined up in front, which was all the forces that Zhang Yuan could fight against Yuan Tan.
On the front, the huge Yuan army array, with neat steps, has slowly approached.
The sword halberd is like a forest, almost reflecting the cold sky, and the big shields are stacked on top of each other, like the Great Wall of steel, in the face of such an iron array, half of the soldiers of the Zhang family army who are new recruits all take a breath of cool air.
The palms of those recruits couldn't help but sweat, and even if they were experienced soldiers, they couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Zhang Yuanyingwu's face was light and light, and there was no trace of jealousy.
On the opposite side, an enemy soldier who rode without a weapon galloped towards the front of the battle, reaching more than 20 paces in front of the battle, and shouted: "I am the messenger of the eldest prince of Yuan, and I have to release arrows." ”
Zhang Yuan remained silent to see what he had to say.
The messenger of the Yuan family stepped forward, raised his head, and said in a proud tone: "On the orders of my son-in-law, I will send a message to Zhang Yuan, this is your last chance, raise your troops and surrender, spare your death, continue to resist, and you will be broken into pieces." ”
Yuan Tan, who was so arrogant, openly sent people to surrender again in front of the two armies.
The voice of the messenger spread all over the four fields, and the soldiers of the Zhang family army were all angry.
The anger in Zhang Yuan's chest, completely enraged by this blatant humiliation, shouted: "Kill my messenger, and dare to send you to recruit the son, then I will answer Yuan Tan's mongrel with your dog life." ”
In the midst of the angry shouts, Zhang Yuan bent his bow and set up arrows, and was about to release arrows towards the messenger.
When the messenger saw this, he was astonished and fled to his own camp in a hurry.
Zhang Yuan aimed at the messenger, and was about to release the arrow, when the prompt of the system elf suddenly sounded in his mind: "Di...... The system reminds the host that the host's strength is now 40, the crossbow level is level 1, and the accuracy rate is less than 10%. ”
Zhang Yuan was startled by this cheated father's system elf, and then remembered that his bow shooting level was a mess, if he missed an arrow, how embarrassing it would be, not only could he not breathe, but it would also demoralize his own soldiers.
"Pear Blossom, then I'll give you this dog bastard, and I'll shoot him over." Zhang Yuan's brain also turned extremely fast, and he threw the bow and arrow to Fan Lihua.
Fan Lihua took the bow and arrow, skillfully bent the bow and arrows, and scolded angrily: "Dare to look down on my husband, I want your dog's life." ”
Before the whistle fell, Fan Lihua's fingertips loosened, and the sharp arrow broke through the wind, carrying full of anger, and flew away.
A scream, a bloody light, and a sharp arrow hit the back of the heart, and the confidence fell off the horse and died on the spot.
"Shoot beautifully, worthy of my Zhang Yuan's pear blossom." Zhang Yuan applauded.
The soldiers of the Zhang family army suddenly thundered with joy, and their morale was boosted.
A few hundred steps away, when Yuan Tan witnessed his messenger being openly shot by Zhang Yuan, a flame of annoyance and anger ignited on his elegant face in an instant.
The silk handkerchief in his hand wiped away the dust on his face, he threw the silk handkerchief into the wind, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted angrily: "The whole army attacked, killed all the enemies who stood in the way, and cut off Zhang Yuan's dog head, this son will be rewarded!" ”
