Pang De was prepared, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Brother Wen misunderstood, it's not that the general won't return it, just because a large number of prisoners of war who are physically unhindered have already been released first, as for where they go, it's not up to the general, and please don't blame Brother Wen!" At present, the more than 10,000 injured people were all captured by the previous days, and the general could not bear to kill them, but they are now returned to General Wen for disposal. ”

Wen Chou's face was gloomy, and he secretly scolded Pound for not being a thing, these seriously injured prisoners of war were killed or left to fend for themselves, why did they have to work hard to return them to him? These people are just a drag oil bottle, if they come, they will only waste food and medicinal materials, and they have to be, otherwise who will dare to serve him after the army's heart is cold.

But Wen Chou didn't dare to say these words, so he could only break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach, and his face turned blue immediately: "Today is considered to be a lesson, he said that if he fights again, he will not kill the seriously injured prisoners of war, and he will also return it to General Pang!" ”

Pang De smiled and said: "Brother Wen Gaoyi, I will thank you first!" ”

After the two discussed, the armies of both sides looked at each other from a distance in Yehuling, and they were all in good standing to prevent the enemy from attacking. In the middle of the two armies, Pound and Wen Chou personally commanded their respective subordinates to hand over the seriously wounded prisoners. Most of the more than 10,000 wounded were lying on top of the carriage, and it was impossible for Pound to give the carriage to Wen Chou, so the handover was very slow.

At the same time, Wang Shuang and Han You also acted according to the original plan, and the two cavalry set off from Lushan and Anle respectively, and went straight to the enemy camp by bypassing Yehuling from afar. The cavalry was the best at rushing and fighting, and the two of them rushed to the Yuan army camp a hundred miles away in less than an hour. At a glance, I saw that the Yuan army's camp was located at the mouth of a valley, covering an extremely wide area, and the surrounding fortifications were extremely complete. On the camp, there are arrow towers, sentry posts, horse rejections, deep pits, etc.

This time, Wen Chou led 100,000 troops to hand over the prisoners, and it was Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi and nephew Gao Gan who were responsible for garrisoning the camp, with more than 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Wang Shuang and Han You were discovered by the scouts of the Yuan army before they got close, Gao Gan, Yuan Xi and others saw that the enemy army attacking the camp was only 10,000 cavalry, and they did not dare to meet the enemy at the moment, so they ordered the whole army to be on alert.

But the two did not storm the camp, but each led 5,000 elite horsemen to run back and forth near Yuan's army, and when they seized the opportunity, it was a rain of arrows. Under Jia Xu's arrangement, the two also carefully selected 200 strong men from the 100,000 army. Each of these two hundred Hercules could shoot a four-stone strong bow, and their feathered arrows were also specially made, far longer than ordinary feathered arrows, and the arrows were wrapped in sackcloth stained with fire oil.

The four-stone strongbow had a range of 200 paces, and these people didn't need to aim at all, they only needed to shoot the ignited rockets at a forty-five degree angle. In less than a quarter of an hour, a thousand rockets immediately ignited the firewood and grass in the Yuan army's camp, and clusters of fires rose into the sky, although they did not cause actual damage, but also made the internal chaos in Yuan's camp a pot of porridge.

Seeing this, the remaining Gao Gan, Yuan Xi, Zhao Zhao and others only divided their troops to fight the fire, so that the defensive forces around the camp were loosened. Wang Shuang saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and immediately sent someone to call Han You over to discuss: "The task given to me by the general is to make the Yuan army's camp chaotic, and now the goal has been achieved!" However, there is a greater credit in front of you and me, but I don't know if General Han has the guts! ”

Han You, the word Yuxin, Pang De's fellow countryman, has been a general under Pang De for many years, and he is quite brave, and he said with a straight face: "Why don't you dare? As long as military orders are not violated, any meritorious service can be done. ”

Wang Shuangdao: "I see that the defensive strength of the Yuan army is not invulnerable, and the camp is empty, the military tents are numerous, and the troops are empty. No matter how bad it is, you can set fire everywhere and burn Yuan Jun's grain and grass! ”

Han You observed carefully for a while, and hesitated: "Although General Wang's words are reasonable, if you rush to the camp rashly, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties, if General Pang blames it, you and I can't afford it!" ”

Wang Shuang shook his head and said, "The generals will not be subject to the military orders outside!" Such a golden opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if the general blames it, he can make up for it! ”

Han You groaned slightly, hugged his fists and said: "That is the case, only the general of the king is looking forward!" ”

Wang Shuang was overjoyed and said in a low voice: "If you want to attack the camp of the Yuan army, it is the simplest, first of all, the general will lead the troops to rush to the east gate of the enemy camp to attract the enemy's firepower. The defenders couldn't resist and had to send reinforcements, so there was an opportunity! ”

Han You has been in the army for a long time, and immediately understood what Wang Shuang meant, and immediately said: "General Wang, don't worry, Han doesn't dare to take on a heavy responsibility!" ”

After the discussion, Wang Shuangled 5,000 elite horsemen to charge straight to the east gate of the camp, relying on excellent armor and light horse chopping swords, they were able to withstand a rain of arrows. Wang Shuangyi took the lead, and under the cover of bows and arrows, he rushed to the front with a team of 100 people. The long knife in his hand protects the people, the lower guard horses, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the gate of the village and picked up the blocking horses, and the rest of the elite soldiers also drew gourds in the same way, and it took less than a cup of tea to rush through the defense line of the horses, and the large troops behind followed closely.

It was Yuan Shao's generals who were responsible for the defense of the East Gate. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered the gate to be closed and brought in heavy fighters to annihilate the enemy from a distance. As a result, Wang Shuang's cavalry immediately suffered heavy casualties. The regular army under Ma Chao's command is extremely well-equipped, especially has a strong defense against arrows, but it is a little powerless to defend against the big rhubarb.

Seeing this, Wang Shuang did not panic at all, and shouted with a knife: "Soldiers, the battle merits are at your fingertips, come with me if you are not afraid of death!" Aim at the crossbowmen collectively, as long as you rush to the gate of the wall, you are done! ”

"Kill!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

Upon hearing this, thousands of men immediately drew their bows and arrows to meet the enemy, and this time the two armies were less than fifty paces apart, and they were shooting at each other through a narrow wooden fence, so that the thick fence with a bowl mouth was full of feathered arrows. As Wang Shuang continued to approach, there were more and more defenders in the camp, and casualties on both sides kept appearing.

Although the power of the rhubarb is great, the speed of the arrow is far inferior to the bow and arrow, often Wang Shuang's cavalry shoots two arrows before the other party shoots an arrow, both sides are within the effective range, which is better or worse can be imagined. Most of Yuan Shao's army was put together temporarily, and the elite soldiers under Pang De's command were all heroic and good at fighting elites, and with the advantage of the number of bows and arrows, they quickly attacked under the walled gate.

At this moment, a large group of spearmen immediately poured out of the camp, and in the blink of an eye, countless sharp spears pierced out of the gap in the fence, looking from a distance like a hedgehog wall.

Seeing this, Wang Shuang didn't care, and immediately shouted: "The front team changed to a horse chopping knife and cut off all these spears for the general, and the rear team continued to suppress the opponent's crossbowmen with bows and arrows!" With that, the horse rushed forward, and the broadsword swung vigorously, only to hear "Click!" "Click!" More than a dozen spears were cut off in an instant. The rest of them also wielded their swords, which could not only cut spears, but also destroy wooden fences.

The Xiliang cavalry who saw Wang Shuang was so fierce not only secretly frightened, but also secretly lamented that the Xiliang army was well-equipped, but he could only continue to increase his troops to the east gate and not let Wang Shuang cross the thunder pool by half a step. In less than half an hour, the number of troops guarding the east gate was nearly 20,000, and the fence was also full of dead bodies, which was unbearable.

But it was said that Han You was not idle, he was leading his troops to spare the enemy, while closely following the battle on Wang Shuang's side, seeing that Wang Shuang dragged down 20,000 defenders with 5,000 personal soldiers, he couldn't help but have an idea. There are 50,000 defenders in the Yuan army's camp, although they are all rabble, but the ants bite the elephant to death, and the defending side is already big. If you want to achieve the goal of attacking the Yuan army's camp, you can only use lightning tactics, concentrate all your forces to attack one door at all costs, and be sure to attack the camp before the reinforcements arrive, otherwise you will inevitably fall into a stalemate like Wang Shuang.

After making up his mind, Han You briefly discussed a few words with several generals under his command, and then led 2,000 people to charge the north gate, and the follow-up troops took out bows and arrows to cover them. Two thousand war horses galloped fiercely in the rain of arrows, and after paying the price of more than 300 casualties, they finally opened the rejection horses and went straight to the gate of the village.

The general in charge of guarding the north gate was Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, who personally commanded the battle, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Han You in a few breaths and picked up the horse and rushed to the gate of the village. Urgently ordered the spearmen to come forward to guard the gate of the wall, and at the same time sent people to send troops to support. Han You had already thought of this, and now every second counted, and personally led the troops to rush to the "Hedgehog Wall!" "Knock off the horse and slash with a sword.

The spear is the cheapest weapon, requiring only a long wooden pole attached to a spear head, which is inexpensive and simple and practical. However, on the battlefield, spearmen are mostly used to defend and swing spear formations, and if they are short-handed, they are greatly insufficient. The horse chopping knife equipped by the Ma Chao army is the nemesis of the spearmen, and as long as the wooden pole is chopped, its combat power will immediately drop by fifty percent.

Nearly 2,000 people slashed at any cost, not only cutting off countless spears, but Han You personally led his soldiers to cut off more than a dozen wooden stakes, forming a gap five steps wide. In this way, the gate immediately became an ornament, and the Xiliang cavalry, who had been holding back their strength, immediately got on their horses and swarmed in.

Han You was worried that Wang Shuang's side would suffer too many casualties, so as soon as the north gate was broken, he led his troops to attack the east gate, and all the parts of the army were in a mess, and the scattered small troops did not dare to confront the cavalry head-on, so they had to shoot them with bows and arrows from a distance.

The entire Yuan army camp was the size of four football fields, and there were many military tents and mixed personnel. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry who rushed in immediately found the opening of the **, or with a bow and arrow, or with a steel knife, to start a crazy **. But Yuan's army was not a vegetarian, and under the organization of the generals in the army, he quickly formed a formation, using bows and arrows and spears as weapons, causing a lot of trouble to Han Youbu.

When the army rushed to the east gate, the 5,000 cavalry had lost more than 1,000 people, and the rest of the people were still alive and well from the inside to the outside. The east gate was already in chaos, but now it was attacked from two sides, and immediately dispersed. Wang Shuangbu also suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and the rest rushed into the camp and joined forces with Han You, leaving 3,000 men to defend the east gate, while the rest fought with the scattered Yuan army. The entire camp of the Yuan army was full of blood, howling miserably, and it became a hell on earth in an instant. (To be continued.) )
