Chapter 117: Defeat and Ease?
The first camp is famous because it is the first to go first in every battle and fight bravely in every battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHao Zhao, the deputy general of the first battalion, took the lead, which made the first battalion regain its morale. The Xiandeng camp was like a wolf in the low-equipped Montenegrin army, and the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shao's army, which was already in chaos, also regained their morale because of the charge of the Xiandeng camp.
"The first to board the dead, the first to fight in every battle." I have to say that although Ju Yi is arrogant, his thoughts and grasp of the war are correct. He planned to use the 3,000 Xiandeng battalion as the main force, and the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Yuan army as the auxiliary, to form a formation in Yishui and defeat the low-equipped Montenegrin Army in a battle was not wrong, because when Commander Hao Zhao first ascended the camp and charged into the formation, no one in the Montenegrin Army could stop it.
"The soldiers of the Yuan army, they killed our main general, and behind us is Yi Shui, if we are defeated again, then our parents, wives and children will have nothing to rely on and no one to support, so there is only one way in front of us, and that is to defeat the Montenegrin army in front of us.
Listening to Hao Zhao's impassioned speech, the morale of Yuan's generals was greatly boosted, and they followed behind the first camp and marched forward.
Looking at the soldiers who were slaughtered, Zhang Yan's face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered: "Feiyan Army, attack, block the first camp." "The first camp is composed of a phalanx of heavy infantry, and once it reaches a stalemate and drags on for a long time, then the first camp becomes a lamb to the slaughter. Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Feiyan, and the Feiyan Army was an old subordinate who followed Zhang Yan when he first started his army, with rich combat experience and extraordinary equipment. It can also be regarded as an elite division that can fight well.
As soon as the Feiyan army entered the battlefield, the advance of the soldiers who had arrived in the camp first slowed down.
"Go to the camp first, the shield soldiers in front, the spearmen in the rear, and the phalanx forward." This is one of the tactics created by Ju Yi to ascend to the camp first, and it is also the tactic that defeated the white horse Yicong in the camp first.
When the first camp changed formations, it was Zhang Yan's Feiyan army who screamed. Zhang Yan's face showed a look of pain, because these were not only his old subordinates, but also the most elite troops in his army.
"General, quickly order the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army to step forward, let the elite soldiers move back, and let the corpses block the attack of the first camp." Tian Yu's face was still extremely pale, and at this moment he stepped forward to suggest to Zhang Yan.
"General, no!" Zhang Yan's lieutenant glared at Tian Yu angrily, because letting the old, weak, sick and disabled come forward was tantamount to sending him to death.
Zhang Yan's face showed a look of struggle, he knew that this method was the best method at the moment, once he dragged down the Xiandeng camp, then he could use the advantage of troops to defeat Yuan's army in one fell swoop. But the soldiers and horses who went out this time are all Zhang Yan's hometown, and every soldier Zhang Yan has feelings, once the Feiyan army is allowed to retreat, then his soldiers and horses don't know how much they will lose.
"General, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it." Tian Yu dismounted, knelt on the ground, and suggested to Zhang Yan.
Looking at Tian Yu who pleaded with him, as well as those soldiers, Zhang Yan regretted why he agreed to come to Gongsun Zhan's aid. Originally, as long as Zhang Yan took his soldiers and horses to hide in the mountains, then the king of heaven and Lao Tzu couldn't control him. But for the sake of a breath in his chest, he came here with almost all of his family wealth.
"Order down, the Feiyan army retreats, and the other troops are on top." Zhang Yan's dark face trembled, and he used almost all his strength when he issued this order.
Tian Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, because as long as Zhang Yan could delay the first camp, then there was at least a fifty percent chance of winning this battle.
As soon as the Feiyan army retreated, the first camp resumed the slaughter speed just now. But they found countless corpses blocking their path at their feet.
The speed of the march of the first camp slowed down, and even the soldiers with the 30,000 Yuan troops were held back.
At dusk, the sun was setting, and the first camp was exhausted, and even the soldiers with the 30,000 Yuan troops were full of sweat. Blood stained the ground red, and then flowed down the land into Yishui.
"Crossbowmen ready." Looking at Yuan Jun, who was already tired, Zhang Yan immediately ordered the arrows to be released.
Now the Yuan army has formed a circle around the corpses, and there is no more open space under their feet. Under the attack of Zhang Yanjun's countless arrows, they fell to the ground one by one.
Looking at the death of more and more comrades, those living soldiers are almost about to collapse, they are already exhausted, the corpses at their feet make their hearts feel depressed, coupled with those dead comrades, the final line of defense in their hearts collapses.
"Go to camp first and raise your shield." Hao Zhao looked at the rain of arrows in the sky, and immediately ordered the soldiers who had arrived in the camp first to raise the big shield in their hands. But the current Xiandeng battalion was so tired that some soldiers couldn't even raise their shields.
After a few rounds of arrows, the number of Yuan Shaojun's soldiers plummeted, and Zhang Yan immediately ordered the army to press up, pressing the space under Yuan Shaojun's feet smaller and smaller.
There were a lot of corpses on the ground, some of them were from the Black Mountain Army, and some of them were theirs, Hao Zhao looked at the corpses on the ground and couldn't help but be stunned. He knew that they had lost this battle, and with Yuan Shaojun's current combat strength, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop the next few waves of charges.
"Should I surrender or not?" Hao Zhao's background is not good, no one in Yuan Shao's army except Ju Yi pays attention to him, now Ju Yi is dead, Hao Zhao has nothing to do in Yuan Shao's army, if this victory is good, maybe he can get Yuan Shao's favor, top Ju Yi's vacancy, but unfortunately, he has lost this battle, and the defeat is extremely miserable.
Hao Zhao struggled in his heart, although he was not welcomed in Yuan Shao's army, but surrendering would also make his reputation stinky.
"That general of Yuan Shaojun, surrender, I, Zhang Yan, promise to give you a good future." Through the battle just now, Zhang Yan knew that Hao Zhaonai was a general, so he had the heart to recruit.
Hearing this, Tian Yu gave Gongsun a second look. Gongsun Xu is the son of Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan is a dignified Yi Hou, if Gongsun Xu goes to recruit Hao Zhao in the name of Gongsun Zhan, the chance will be much greater than Zhang Yan.
"That general of the Yuan army, my father, Hou Gongsun Bogui, has always been eager for talent, if the general can serve, I will definitely recommend you to my father Hou to become the general of our army." Looking at Tian Yu's eyes, Gongsun Xu immediately rode out on horseback with a warm smile on his face.
Originally, Hao Zhao was struggling, but seeing Zhang Yan and Gongsun Xu coming to recruit him, he seemed to have made up his mind in his heart.
"Two, Hao Zhao is willing to ......" Before Hao Zhao finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away. A general in golden armor rode out.
"Where is General Juyi, Wen Chou is here."
