Chapter 9 Advance is life and retreat is death
"What Childe said is, but we haven't been on the battlefield......" The picture that Yuan Xu said came to mind, and a firehead said worriedly: "Rushing up is also a plain death......"
"Did you say you want to wait to rush up?" Yuan Xu interrupted the firehead army.
The Fireheads were all at a loss......
"The enemy surrounds our army with cavalry, and the defense line must be weak! If a certain unit of our army rushes to a point, it is not impossible to break through! ”
"What you have to do is not to fight, but to respond!" Knowing that it was difficult for the Huotou Army to understand what he said, Yuan Xu tried his best to keep his words concise: "I know how to cook things, I just hope that you don't have to retreat!" ”
"Not for anything else, just to live!" The Huotou army present still hesitated, and Yuan Xu finally said: "Don't forget, there are still parents, wives and children waiting for you to go back!" If you advance, you will live, and if you retreat, you will die! ”
Thinking of his parents, wife and children, and then thinking of being chased and killed by Gongsun Jun, Huotou Jun clenched his fists.
Many people are still worried.
Yuan Xu's status in the army is not high, although he is Yuan Shao's son, he is only a concubine.
With his identity as the leader of the Fire Head Army and the concubine of the Yuan family, it is difficult to say whether he can persuade a certain general with troops to act according to the plan!
Everyone was moved, and Yuan Xu shouted: "Smear the whole body with charcoal ash, unload the grain and grass from the car, load firewood and pour oil, and go with a certain person to manage the general's array!" ”
Whether he can convince the management system, Yuan Xu has no bottom!
The reason why I said this is nothing more than that Guan Tong and Xin Bi had deliberately looked for him!
Other generals are difficult to convince, and there may be a glimmer of possibility in the management!
It's better to do than not to do!
The cavalry of the Yuan army was defeated, and the Gongsun army that surrounded it put on an offensive posture.
The more than 100 Huotou soldiers didn't have time to think about it, so they could only follow Yuan Xu's instructions, grab the charcoal ash from under the stove in the barracks, and wipe it from head to toe!
The blackened firehead army unloaded a cart of grain and grass and replaced it with bundles of firewood.
Some people are holding oil cans and throwing them on the wheelbarrows stacked with firewood!
Away from the place where they shot two shots, the cavalry of the Gongsun Army stretched out their bows and arrows and aimed at the Yuan army that was in a circular formation.
"Shoot the arrows!" With a broken shout, countless arrows flew towards Yuan Jun from all directions.
Yuan's heavy infantry hid behind the shield wall, shielding the archers behind them.
The archers put their arrows on the bowstrings and crouched for orders to counterattack.
Under the hood of the rainstorm of arrows, most of them landed on the shield.
The rain of arrows struck the shield, making a crisp sound, and the soldiers of the Yuan army lowered their heads, not even having time to look at the enemy army.
Some feather arrows at tricky angles passed through the gap between the shields and shot at Yuan Jun, who was hiding behind.
Yuan Jun, who was shot over, fell, and someone immediately filled their vacancy.
With the Huotou Army, pushing twenty or thirty carts full of firewood, Yuan Xu took advantage of the fact that Gongsun Jun's attention was not on them, and quickly moved to the left flank.
It is the rulers who sit on the left wing!
The encirclement of the Gongsun army included them.
The soldiers formed a circular formation, shielding the sky from the rain of arrows with a shield wall!
Choosing an angle that the strength of the arrow could not reach and running to the left wing, Yuan Xu was urging everyone to speed up all the way.
In the darkness of the night, Gongsun Jun was only concerned about shooting Yuan Jun, and did not notice that more than a hundred blackened firehead soldiers were rushing towards the left flank.
Without further orders, Guan Tong had already dismounted his horse and hid in the ring formation.
His ears were filled with the crunch of arrows striking his shield and the muffled snort of the soldier who had been shot before he fell, and he clenched his fists as if anger was about to burst out of his eyes!
"General, Xianxin Gongzi asks to see!" As his belly was full of fire, a soldier approached him with a shield in his hand.
After the discussion in the tent, Xin Bi spoke highly of Yuan Xu, and the management did not slack off at all, and instructed the soldiers: "Please come and meet the prince!" ”
The soldier was about to leave, and he confessed again: "Don't protect your son!" ”
"No!" Responding again, the soldiers burrowed into the crowded Yuan army.
After arriving at the Guantong Formation with the Huotou Army, Yuan Xu ordered everyone to hide on the side of the cart stacked with firewood and grass.
He was secretly glad in his heart.
Gongsun Jun didn't cast rockets!
With the firewood and grass and the oil spilled on the car, it only takes a little fire to burn it all!
His plan will also be completely ruined with the cart burning!
"Xian Xingongzi, General Guan is invited!" The soldiers he had commissioned to go to the rescue came out from behind the shield wall with their backs.
"Thank you!" Arching his hand to the soldier, Yuan Xu lowered his head and drilled into the shield array.
The farther away from Yuan Tan's army, the denser the arrows of Gongsun's army became.
The messenger followed him into the shield array and covered his head with a large shield.
Glancing at the shield above his head, Yuan Xu silently squeezed into the crouching Yuan army and marched towards the place where the management was located.
Although the ring array can form a solid defense, it is not airtight!
From time to time, a few Yuan Jun arrows fell, and even two feather arrows that fell in the air were also shot at the shield above Yuan Xu's head.
"General Guan!" When he got close to Guan Tong, Yuan Xu squatted and arched his hand at him.
Hearing him speak, Guan Tong hurriedly turned around!
Yuan Xu was covered in charcoal ash, including his face was dark, Guan Tong was taken aback and blurted out, "Why does Childe look like this?" ”
"Don't care about the general...... touched his face, Yuan Xu grinned and said: "I came here to discuss with the general on an urgent matter!" ”
Yuan Xu grinned and showed two rows of snow-white teeth, and Guan Tong was stunned for a moment before saying: "Gongzi expected it to be true, Gongsun Chan was killed from the east of the city!" It's only to blame a certain undead man to persuade the eldest son, so that there is a dilemma at this time! ”
"The enemy army is fanning around our army, which is nothing more than to annihilate it completely!" Facing the four eyes of Guan Tong, Yuan Xu smiled and said, "Such a defense is not a matter after all!" I'll have to fight back! ”
"Surrounded on all sides, and the eldest son has not given an order, how can he fight back?" Clenched his fists, Guan Tong said: "If you don't die in this battle, you will definitely catch the old thief of Gongsun and eat his flesh alive!" ”
"The reason why I came to the general is because I have an idea!"
"Childe, please speak!"
Yuan Xu said that he had an idea, and Guan Tong's eyes suddenly lit up!
"The general can make the archers fight back! The horses are huge, and the enemy will suffer a lot of losses under the mutual fire, and they will definitely charge! ”
"It's getting harder and harder!" didn't understand Yuan Xu's intentions, and Guan Tong's brows tightened: "Behind the enemy's heavily armored palace, once the cavalry rushes and kills, it will be difficult for our army to hold it!" ”
"When the enemy rushes in, our army immediately changes formation, and the soldiers rush forward in four rows, and attack a little bit in a sharp knife formation, and they will kill the gap!"
Stunned, Guan Tong stared at Yuan Xu in astonishment.
The strategy is not bad, but it is very risky!
The Chinese army and the right flank do not move, and breaking through with the left flank alone is nothing more than a big gamble!
If you can win, you can't, if you can't......
"If it can be won, the first merit of this battle should be the general! If you can't win, the blame will be borne by someone! Guan Tong hesitated, Yuan Xu knew that he couldn't give him too much time to think, so he urged very quickly!
