Chapter 999: Heading North (5)

However, Yuan Shao would never have understood that Gao Yang had such an artifact as storage space in his hands!

If it weren't for the restriction that life forms could not be stored in the subspace, Gao Yang would have prepared to release a large number of troops directly near Yuan Shao's army. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] What can be counted as a trivial matter of transporting grain and straw?

As for the army crossing the river, it would be nice to pull the transport ship directly from the modern time and space. As for space-time repulsion, Gao Yang will not be soft at all when it should be used. Anyway, it won't directly cause the space-time channel to collapse because of this time.

Yuan Shao was full of confidence that Gao Yang would devote his main energy to transporting grain and straw equipment, and Gao Yang, who lacked the capacity of ships, was absolutely unable to send a large number of cavalry to pursue in a short period of time.

But when Yuan Shao saw with his own eyes that the huge cavalry cluster of nearly 20,000 people, as if it was crushing a surging tide, launched an overwhelming fierce attack on the nearly 100,000 troops under his command who were busy on the road because they were busy on the road. What Yuan Shao was thinking in his heart, Gao Yang didn't know, and he wouldn't care.

Since you have embarked on the road of dominating the world, you should be mentally prepared for whatever you encounter. People who can't afford to lose are not eligible to participate in this kind of gambling with the whole world as a prize.

Yuan Shao's marching army of nearly 100,000 stretched for dozens of miles. The front does not know what is behind, and the back does not know the orders given in front of it.

When Gao Yang personally led a group of nearly 20,000 powerful cavalry to Yuan Shao's army when it was about to approach Yecheng, the morale and vigilance of the army were the weakest. With the help of advanced tools, Yuan Shaojun's outpost was easily cleared, and then when Yuan Shaojun couldn't react, he suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Lord, go quickly!" Yuan Shao's henchman and advisor swooped forward and grabbed the reins of Yuan Shao's mount, shouting loudly.

As a good strategist, the judge naturally knows what it means to face the current situation that could not be worse.

The army was scattered and long, and there was no time to form a formation to meet the enemy. It was almost a time when the sand was scattered and encountered a surprise attack by a powerful enemy army, and at this time, even if Sun Wubai got up together, he had no power to return to the sky.

In a panic, he could barely keep a clear head, and knew that there was only one thing he could do now, and that was to let Yuan Shao escape smoothly and go to Yecheng, thirty miles away, to save his life. As for the rest of the year. He couldn't take care of it.

The pale Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, and his handsome face became extremely distorted and hideous. His body trembled slightly, and his round eyes looked at the Gaoyang cavalry surging like a tide, and his chest rose and fell rapidly. Suddenly, his throat was sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

After vomiting blood, Yuan Shao immediately fell unconscious and fell off the horse. Fortunately, the guards beside him were very close, and hurriedly picked up the unconscious Yuan Shao and helped him off the horse.

"Woo Woo!" The judge suddenly turned his head to look at the general Zhang He on the side, and shouted: "You will immediately escort the lord back to Yecheng." Make no mistake! ”

Zhang He's heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly bowed down to receive the order. With thousands of elite cavalry guarding the unconscious Yuan Shao, he galloped all the way towards Yecheng. As for the nearly 100,000 troops exposed in the wilderness and without the power to resist, no one can care about it at this time.

As Yuan Shao's chief military advisor, he exerted his light and heat at such a critical moment. Fearless in the face of danger, he didn't care about his own life and death, boosted the morale of the army, and organized troops as much as possible to try to resist when the Gaoyang cavalry arrived.

Although the final result has not changed, the judge has indeed fulfilled his responsibility.

An army of more than 100,000 people marching in the field in the Cold Weapon Age is far from being able to fight with a loaded bullet like the armies of modern time and space.

An army of this size is divided into many units, led by different generals. When encountering a surprise attack by a powerful enemy, it is inevitable that you will not care about the end. No one can support each other. They don't have cell phones or radios.

Moreover, during the large-scale march of the Cold Weapon Age, heavy equipment and battle armor and heavy weapons were basically transported on horse-drawn carts and ox-carts. This was to maintain the strength of the sergeants. In the same way, in the event of a surprise attack, no one has time to dress themselves up and form a tight formation to meet the enemy.

And the heaviest blow is in the morale of the army.

The army's will to fight in the era of cold weapons is far from being as firm as that of a modern professional army. With the exception of a few elite troops, most of the sergeants were conscripted peasants. They are sent into battle with a little training, and when faced with a great threat, they should not be expected to be able to meet the enemy calmly. On the contrary, there is a high probability that they will scatter their own formation. At the same time, the fear of defeat is spread among the army. That's where the bombing of the camp came from.

"Komeito." On a small hill tens of meters high, Gao Yang put down the binoculars in his hand, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head sideways and said to Xu Huang on the side, "You lead three thousand cavalry to pursue the cavalry fleeing in the direction of Yecheng." Look at their gear and flags. Yuan Shao should be among them. Do you know what to do? ”

"The last general will dedicate the head of the Yuan Rebellion to the lord!" Xu Huang, who was named the right general by Gao Yang Jin because he successfully carried out the river crossing operation and completely annihilated the most elite Xiandeng battalion under Yuan Shao, was at this time when he was in high spirits. Without hesitation, he received the military order.

Gao Yang shook his head with a chuckle when he heard this, and said with a smile, "It depends on your luck, it doesn't matter if he escapes." My main target is this army. After defeating this army, and then besieging Yecheng, then Yuan Shao will be finished. If you are lucky enough to kill him, I will make you the Marquis of Guannei. ”

"Hiss~~~" Several generals who heard Gao Yang's words on the side all changed color when they heard this. Wait! And it's also Kannaihou! This is the greatest pursuit of a general. The way they looked at Xu Huang changed. This is a great opportunity. It fell on his head.

Xu Huang, whose excited body was trembling slightly, hurriedly rode his horse down the hill to lead the troops to attack.

Gao Yang looked at his back and smiled. looked at Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others with hot eyes on the other side. Raising the hand holding the horsewhip, he pointed to the panicked Yuan Shao army in the distance, and said with a smile, "How should this kind of battle be fought, don't I need to say more?" ”

It was a one-sided crushing battle. With an incredible force, Gao Yang transported nearly 20,000 elite cavalry, including men and horses, across the river in a short period of time.

There is a record in the local county chronicle that at that time, there were sailless iron boats that were dozens of zhang long on the big river, and their boats were so large that they could run horses. Dozens of these horrible ships took a day to transport so many soldiers and horses across the river.

The record in the county annals was regarded as a joke even after a thousand years. No one will believe that this is true.

The biggest reason why Yuan Shao was vomiting blood and fell into a coma was that he had calculated the strength of Gao Yang not pursuing him in a short period of time. But the reality slapped him in the mouth. In addition, he had already expected that the main force under his command would be defeated here. Under the anger and urgency, he immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma.

This one-sided battle lasted all afternoon and half the night. The sound of galloping horses and shouts of battle resounded through the field.

Yuan Shao successfully escaped into Yecheng under the desperate protection of Zhang He. The price is that less than 300 of the thousands of elite cavalry can successfully enter the city. And Zhang He himself was shot through the shoulder by Xu Huang's arrow, and the second arrow flew off the helmet! It was entirely by virtue of his skill that he was able to escape his life.

In fact, if it is a regular solo fight, Zhang He may not be much different from Xu Huang. It's just that when they chase and flee, one chases and kills without distraction, and the other has to protect their lord. Immediately there was a distinction between the superior and the inferior.

Zhang He was lucky. No matter how he said it, he also fled into Yecheng, which was fortified by the city walls, and there was no danger for the time being. But the army on the endless Hebei Plain outside was miserable.

Although the trial and others desperately organized resistance, it was useless.

Gao Yang's cavalry were all veterans on the battlefield, and they were like rabbits hunting, and the panicked Yuan Shaojun scattered and fled, constantly carrying their own people into huge chaos.

When the sergeants ran out of strength, the knights on their horses rode leisurely and rushed over to harvest their booty.

The following members of the think tank include Fu Zhu, Xiao Ji, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Chen Lin, Xun Chen, Xu You, Dong Zhao, Chang Lin, Wang Xiu and so on. Except for Tian Feng, Geng Bao, Hua Yan, Kong Shun and others in Yecheng or other cities. All were either killed or captured.

And those generals under Yuan Shao, such as Gao Lan, Zhao Zhao, Zhu Ling, Jiang Qi, Ma Yan, Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan, Zang Hong and others. Including Yan Liang, who died in Guandu, Wen Chou, who died in Yanjin, and Lu Yi who died by the river. Almost all of them were lost in this battle.

Compared with civilian officials, most of these generals died on the battlefield, and few surrendered or captured. Except for the senior cadres who guarded Yecheng, Zhang He, who guarded Yuan Shao's escape, and Han Fan, Yan Rou, Tao Sheng and others who were not here. Yuan Shao's core officer corps and think tank were wiped out by Gao Yang this time.

And Yuan Shao's biggest loss in this battle was that the main mobile corps under his command was almost completely wiped out.

Nearly 100,000 troops retreated all the way back to Yecheng from the vicinity of Liyang, but in the end, only a few hundred were able to escape into Yecheng.

There are actually not many people who died in battle, that is, twenty or thirty thousand. Most of the soldiers were scattered or captured. Yuan Shaojun's scattered soldiers and horses all went to make a living after Yecheng was besieged.

Although Yuan Shaoyuan's soldiers and horses in other cities were also considerable, they needed to be stationed everywhere. When Yecheng was surrounded and no information could be transmitted, no one had the ability to gather a large army to come to the rescue.

At this time, Yuan Shao only had more than 10,000 defenders guarding Yecheng, as well as the strong men and men who were forcibly recruited in Yecheng. There are also the children and servants of major wealthy families. And all they are facing are more than 60,000 elite divisions that are the most powerful in this era! (To be continued.) )
