Section 9 Surprise Attack on Jitu [1]

"Big brother, let's withdraw first!"

Liu Bei didn't know where to get out of the battlefield, grabbed Gongsun Zhan's bridle, and panted to Gongsun Zhan. In front of Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Fei was struggling to display a heavy spear shadow to resist the fierce attack of the Jizhou army.

"As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood. As long as the eldest brother is safe, the brothers have a future. Competing with Yuan Shao is not just here for a while! ”

If Liu Bei dared to persuade Gongsun Chan like this before, Gongsun Chan would definitely give Liu Bei a whip first, regardless of whether he accepted it or not. But at this time, the whip that Liu Bei expected did not fall after all. Liu Bei glanced up at Gongsun Zhan, but found that this senior, who had always behaved proudly in front of people, was now full of loneliness and gloom.

"Be careful!"

In Liu Bei's exclamation, a cold arrow shot over and hit Gongsun Zhan's face. Although Gongsun Chan raised his spear in time, he was still grazed by the arrow. Seeing that the Youzhou army on both sides began to retreat, and his position became an isolated salient, and most of them would be surrounded if they didn't go further, Gongsun Chan sighed, and finally turned his horse's head and began to retreat backwards.

"Wan Sheng!"

The cheers of the Jizhou army chased after Gongsun Zhan. At this moment, Gongsun Chan only felt that his head was muddy, and he didn't know how he returned to the camp. However, the camp has now become unsafe. The Jizhou army, which was chasing after the victory, swarmed in, and with its high morale, it quickly broke through the rudimentary camp defense of the Gongsun army.

The Youzhou army, which was demoralized because of the defeat and retreated because of the lack of food, could not hold its own camp at all under the attack of the Jizhou army, and soon began to spontaneously flee to the north in groups.

"Run!"

"It's over!"

After the complete collapse of the army, thousands of Youzhou troops were defeated. On the way to escape, they threw away their armor and wolves. However, at this moment, there is still a unit in the Youzhou army, which still maintains its own formation in the midst of the scattered and defeated soldiers. They are the ones who are famous:

- White Horse Righteous Servant!

As the white horse righteous servant of Gongsun Chan's fame. Although he suffered heavy losses in the previous "Battle of Wuyuan" and suffered great losses, even the main general Yan Gang almost lost his life. However, this elite strength is still there, and it will not sink there. With Gongsun Zhan's vigorous supplement, Baima Yicong's strength quickly recovered most of it. Moreover, due to the lessons learned from some past combat experiences, Hakuba Yoshiko is in the fighting style. It's becoming more threatening.

In the earliest days, the tactics of the White Horse Yicong originated from the Hu people in northern Xinjiang, and they were mainly mounted and archery. Since Gongsun Zhan participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army under Guangzong City, and learned the use of bilateral stirrups from Dong Zhuo's department in Liangzhou, Bai Ma Yicong began to often carry out assault tactics in addition to cavalry shooting.

After that, the brilliant achievements of Bingzhou insolence on the grassland spread to Youzhou, which made Gongsun Chan jealous. I also inquired about it for a purpose. As a result, some of the effective tactics of the state cavalry. Experiments were also begun in Hakuba Yicong.

The rout of the Youzhou army on all fronts was certainly not a good thing for Baima Yicong. However, after the Jizhou army took the initiative to disperse the formation of the army in order to more effectively pursue the defeated troops in Youzhou, the opportunity for Bai Ma Yicong came.

Yan Gang put down his visor, revealing only two deep eyes. He raised his spear in his hand. The white horse behind him also raised the swords and guns in his hands.

In front of the White Horse Righteous Cong, all the infantry who dare not form a dense formation are idiots who are innocent!

"White Horse Righteous Servant!"

"The mountains shake!"

The majestic battle horn made the nearby defeated soldiers automatically reduce the speed of escape one by one. There are more daring Youzhou sergeants and soldiers, and they even dare to stop. Holding the weapon in his hand again, his fighting spirit was rekindled.

A white torrent suddenly plunged into the battlefield with great speed, like a bolt of lightning. The Jizhou soldiers, who rushed to the forefront to pursue, suddenly fell into bad luck. Although the white horse Yicong was only a lightly armed cavalry, relying on the impact brought by the speed of the war horse, the knights still easily crushed the pursuers who had lost their formation one by one like trampling to death.

The startled pursuers hurriedly and spontaneously gathered together to resist the cavalry charge. Actual combat proved that as long as the infantry was gathered in a group, they would not be too afraid of the cavalry assault. However, Bai Ma Yicong's reaction to the enemy was also planned for a long time.

"It's hard to know like yin!"

In a whistling battle horn, a rain of arrows sprinkled over, dealing a heavy blow to the Jizhou soldiers who were gathered together. When the Jizhou soldiers were embarrassed by the roaring rain of arrows and the formation was in chaos, the charge of the White Horse Yicong was launched again.

"Thunder!"

After crushing the infantry formation that had become sparse under the rain of arrows, the White Horse Righteous Servants, who had undergone tactical reforms, once again announced to the world that they were back!

After completing the heavy blow to the pursuers, Bai Ma Yixian did not go out again. Because, the first camp appeared.

At this time, there were less than 300 people left in the first camp. However, it was this mere 300 people that made Bai Ma Yi, who was still showing off his martial arts just now, automatically retreat!

This kind of majesty made all the Jizhou soldiers who witnessed it extremely amazed.

Only Lu Yi understood that the retreat of Bai Ma Yi would definitely not be the first to enter the camp after being afraid of being exhausted after a long battle. The purpose of the White Horse Yicong is to break off the Youzhou army. After their fierce counterattack this time, none of the pursuers of the Jizhou Army dared to chase too boldly. At this moment, since the goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need for Bai Ma Yicong to continue to entangle with the Jizhou army.

Of course, the prestige of the first camp to break the white horse's righteousness is also one of the small factors. For the first camp, even if it is an incomplete and tired first camp, the white horse is still like a great enemy.

Seeing Bai Ma Yi leave calmly, the battle was over, but Lu Yi felt that his trouble had just begun. Koji began to count losses. In this battle, the losses of the troops of Lu Yi were too great.

Due to underestimating the impact of the heavy cavalry of Gongsun Zhan's army, the first deceased had to suffer huge casualties in order to regain the initiative. And if it weren't for the fact that after the assault of the heavy cavalry ended, Lu Yi took advantage of the fact that the Gongsun army was caught off guard and decisively launched a desperate blow, the outcome of this battle would have been really unpredictable.

The final blow of the White Horse Yoshiko. Jean Yi lost no less than 600 people. Fortunately, most of these guys who rush fast are recruits who lack combat experience and don't follow the rules very well. For these guys, even if they die, Koji Yi doesn't have much heartache.

However, a veteran of Koji's subordinates in this battle. There were more than 500 dead and wounded. Most of these casualties were suffered when breaking through the formation of the Gongsun army. Such casualties have already broken the muscles and bones of the Koji Division.

However, what hurt Lu Yi's heart the most was the casualties of the first camp. was assaulted by heavy cavalry, with more than 140 dead and wounded; attacked Gongsun Zhan's army, killing and wounding more than 230 people; In order to hunt down and kill Gongsun Zhan, he was killed and injured by Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, the fierce generals of the Youzhou Army. It's all counted. After the war, the first dead soldiers who were still largely intact were less than three hundred!

It can withstand more than sixty percent of the casualties, and can continue to fight, and the combat effectiveness of the first battalion is so strong, which can be seen!

However, these are not the most heart-wrenching things for Koji Yi. The most heart-wrenching thing for Lu Yi is that the "Nine Sons of the Koji Family" actually killed four people in this battle at once!

The koji in the "Nine Sons of the Koji Family". Killed in the first wave of onslaught against the hoplites; Luo Xu in the "Nine Sons of the Koji Clan", when he attacked Gongsun Zhan's army. was shot in the face by a stray arrow and died in battle; He Ke in the "Nine Sons of the Koji Clan" killed nineteen heavily armed knights with limited mobility in one go, but was kicked in the thigh by a hooves of a war horse that fell to the ground with a broken leg, and died under the trampling of the hooves of the hoplites; The last deceased was due to multiple injuries sustained in the previous battle. Lost too much blood, lay down to rest after the battle, and couldn't sleep.

The core of the Jizhou army is the first camp, and the core of the first camp is the "nine sons of the Koji family". This loss makes the forehead who never sheds tears. There were also moments of tears.

When Zhang He rushed over from the flank, he happened to see such a scene.

Although he had a full understanding of Lu Yi's sadness, Zhang He still anxiously interrupted Lu Yi's rare emotional vent.

A military report from the rear of the city of Bo urgently handed over to Lu Yi through Zhang He's hand. Zhang He handed over the paperwork and said to Lu Yi with an anxious face:

"Dudu, arrogant troops have been sent to Yecheng!"

This news shocked Lu Yi for a moment, and even the outstretched hand stopped.

"Really?"

"Seriously! The general of the chariot [Yuan Shao] personally wrote the handwriting, and I recognized the words of Yuan Cheqi. ”

Turning over the emergency report, after a rough look twice, Lu Yi let out a sigh of relief, suppressed the shock in his heart, and muttered:

"This guy is so calculating!"

I have to say that Zhang Qiang sent troops at this time, and he chose the best time.

For the annexed state army in the west of Jizhou, Yuan Shao has never given up on guarding. When Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, he specially sent Cao Cao's troops, who had the strongest combat power, to prevent the Bingzhou army in the Taihang Mountains from being dispatched. Later, Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao asked the general Lu Yi to garrison Gaoyi to prepare for arrogance.

It's just that when Yuan Shao was full of vigilance, he was arrogant but never moved. Over time, over the past few years, although the threat of arrogance has not diminished, the sense of presence in Jizhou has become weaker and weaker.

Later, Gongsun Zhan attacked Yuan Shao on a large scale, and Yuan Shao moved the state of Jizhou from Gaoyi to Yecheng, a large city in the south, for safety. Even at this time, Yuan Shao still did not forget the threat from the west. In order to guard against the state army, Yuan Shao specially transferred 2,000 foot soldiers from the tense army and stationed them in Shexian County, west of Yecheng, in preparation for emergencies.

When Gongsun Zhan's offensive became more and more ferocious, and Yuan Shao had to successively draw troops from all over the country to fight north, the 2,000 people in Shexian County were never mobilized. And Zhang Madness also seemed to be asleep, sitting and watching Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fight upside down, and he just didn't do it.

After more than a year of fighting, Yuan Shao's subordinates gradually developed the habit of ignoring the existence of arrogance. But at this moment, the arrogance made a move. Moreover, when he moves, it is the most murderous means:

- Surprise attack on Yecheng! (To be continued......)
