0337: Yan Liang still fights Changguo
Gao Yun did not give such an order. The two armies fought in a melee, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and more than ten miles of battlefield. A very important part of this is the on-the-spot command.
In this era, the command of the battle mainly relied on tools such as high cars and flags, and the point of command was generally the position of the commander, called the Chinese army.
In a large-scale battle, it is impossible to have even troops in every place. It is very likely that a situation of disparity between friend and foe will form in a local theater of operations, and such an area will injure and damage the soldiers.
Although the establishment of the Huwei Army is detailed, this kind of big war basically uses each tun as a combat unit, which can greatly improve combat cooperation. However, in the overall situation, it is still necessary to command generals, so that combat effectiveness can be effectively distributed and combat efficiency can be enhanced.
Gao Yun's pursuit and killing of Yuan Shao was actually aimed at defeating the Chinese army of Hebei's soldiers and horses, so that the other party would lose its effective battlefield command. But if Sarina and the others all follow him, then the Tiger Mighty Army will also lose its command, and it will be meaningless.
Therefore, Shalina, Zhang Huayan and Zhang Xiu listened to Gao Yun's order and knew what it meant, so they quickly switched their mounts, returned to their own teams, commanded the soldiers and horses, and fought together.
Gao Yun's force is not what it used to be, rushing in the enemy formation as if entering a no-man's land, slashing the saber horizontally and vertically, no one can stop it, everywhere he goes, but seeing the armor flat, blood like rain, the Hebei soldiers and horses who killed turned on their backs and fled in all directions.
Yuan Shao was shocked when he saw Gao Yun's momentum, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and fled all the way until the back of the battle.
Gao Yun killed a bloody road, until the Chinese army, Yuan Shao could not be found left and right. simply unfolded the saber and cut off all the flags of the Hebei Central Army, and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses suddenly fell into chaos.
Yuan Shao led his troops to Le'an, with the original intention of delaying Gao Yun's soldiers and horses, helping Yan Liang buy time and attack Changguo. I didn't really want to fight this one.
At present, seeing that the soldiers and horses in Hebei are declining, and the losses are very heavy, they dare not fight. Hurriedly ordered Mingjin, collected troops and retreated, and retreated to Zouping.
Gao Yun saw that the soldiers and horses of Hebei were retreating, and ordered the thunder drum to advance, pursue all the way, and kill five miles away before collecting troops and returning to the city.
Yuan Shao didn't dare to stop all the way, and returned directly to Zouping, sending people to count the soldiers and horses, and lost more than 30,000 people. The general Gao Ran died again, and he was angry and scolded Zhang Jaw and other generals for being incompetent.
Zhang Jaw, Wen Chou and other generals were all submissive, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was angry, the judge punished everyone, and hurriedly persuaded: "Please calm the anger of the lord and take care of your precious question." Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, although the soldiers and horses were damaged this time, but they have won the opportunity for General Yan Liang. If you break the Changguo and cut off the grain and grass of Gaoyun, it will be a great victory. At that time, the Huwei army will inevitably be in chaos, and the lord will march forward, and Gao Yun can be captured in one battle. Today's defeat is insignificant."
As soon as the judge said this, the anger in Yuan Shao's heart calmed down a little, turned the conversation, and shouted: "Hmph! Gao Yun child! And let him be rampant for a while! When Yan Liang breaks the Changguo, I will take revenge! ”
Seeing Yuan Shao's mood shifting, Wu hurriedly persuaded them all together, and cheered with gossip, as if Yan Liang had broken the Changguo and cut off the food route of the Huwei army.
In fact, Yan Liang did receive an order from Yuan Shao, and according to the agreed hour, Liutian Kai led 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Linzi, and personally took 40,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, all the way to the south, until Changguo.
Tai Shici ambushed soldiers and horses not far from Linzi City, sent people to investigate, and was very happy to learn that Yan Liang personally led the army out of the city.
It is estimated that Yan Liang's army went far, and Tai Shici led the soldiers and horses to the city of Linzi. Without saying a word, they set up stone cannons and attacked in turns.
At this time, the stone cannon of the Huwei Army has been improved by Ma Jun, and the original bullet stone has been changed to a bullet rod stone, and the power and range have been greatly improved.
Ten thunderbolts were launched together, the huge stones at the head of Linzi City were beaten, a piece of flying sand and stones were gone, countless soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and the huge city wall had no place to stand.
Tian Kai panicked, led his troops and horses down the city wall, and relied on the city gate to defend it, trying to wait for Yan Liang to return to the army to save him.
Seeing that the city wall was empty, Tai Shi Ci did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly gave an order, set up a building car, and attacked the city with swords and soldiers.
This building car is Ma Jun's new work, with an iron frame and wooden plank structure, the principle is similar to today's landing gear, after it is completely shaken, it is like a huge staircase, which can be built directly to the other party's city head through the moat.
With such a kicking artifact, the Huwei army attacked the wall as if it were walking on the ground, rushing up the wide wooden steps one by one, and in an instant they grabbed the city head and entered the city.
Tian Kai gathered a large group of soldiers and horses in the city gate, and waited for the Huwei army to break through the gate, so he could resist every day.
But who would have thought that the stone artillery had just stopped for a while, and the soldiers and horses of the Huwei Army had already killed the city, and they couldn't help but panic.
The soldiers and horses of the Huwei army jumped into the city one after another, and the Hebei defenders were caught off guard and retreated. The soldiers of the Huwei Army quickly cut the lock, lowered the drawbridge, and received the army into the city.
Tai Shi Ci took the lead, rushed into the city with a double whip, penetrated the enemy army, and went straight to the inner city. happened to bump into Tian Kai at the door, Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed, turned his mount, and went straight up.
When Tian Kai saw Tai Shici's momentum, his heart trembled, and he wiped his head and ran. However, at the gate of the inner city, the ground is narrow, and the corpses and military flags are collapsing, and it is inconvenient for the horses to turn.
Before Tian Kai could turn the horse's head, he was rushed to the front by Tai Shici, raised his hand and whipped it, smashed the heavenly spirit, and died under the horse.
Tai Shi Ci whipped Tian Kai to death, and ordered the colonel to cut off Tian Kai's head, hang it in front of the horse, and give orders to the four cities.
When the defenders of Hebei saw that the main general was killed, they asked for surrender, and in an instant, the four cities were flat. Tai Shici ordered the collection of prisoners of war, cleaned up the battlefield, and arranged for soldiers to defend the wall on horseback, and sent fast horses to report to Gao Yun.
Yan Liang's soldiers and horses stayed away from Linzi until Changguo, and they didn't know that Linzi City was gone, and they were still high-spirited and challenged Lincheng.
The guard general of Changguo is the old general Zhao Ying, who has already discussed the strategy with Liao Hua and Dong Xi, and let Yan Liang shout and break his throat, Changguo City will not be able to ride.
Yan Liang had no choice but to urge his troops and horses to attack the city. But it is not easy to attack the city of the Huwei army, and thousands of high-cloud crossbows are fired in unison on the city wall, and the arrows are like locusts flying in the sky, which are extremely sharp. Hebei soldiers and horses attacked for more than an hour, with heavy casualties and no progress. The morale of the soldiers and horses gradually disappeared, and even soldiers began to flee from the battle.
Zhao Ying personally led the army to defend the city, and naturally saw it clearly from a high position, and when he saw Yan Liang's soldiers and horses, he sneered in his heart.
Pick up the iron gun, quickly go down the city, turn over the horse, light up the five thousand sword brand elite soldiers, and order: "Shoot the cannon!" Open the door! ”
When the soldiers of the Huwei Army heard the general's order, they lit the cannon, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth. Yan Liang suddenly heard the sound of cannons on his horse, and felt that something was wrong, and before he could react, he saw the city gate open, and a veteran general took the lead, leading a large group of soldiers and horses to rush over.
