Chapter 301: The Yulin Army Rebels Against the Water
As soon as Li Qin gave the order, the Fujiao Army immediately started with the whole army and rushed towards the allied forces of the princes!
The princes were in a hurry and shouted: "Alliance leader, the Li thief has rushed over, what should we do?" ”
Yuan Shao was also anxious, and he said loudly: "Do you still need to ask, beat the drum and charge!" He turned back to the drummer, and the drummer immediately sounded the big leather drum, which was the signal to charge!
The princes hurriedly ordered the generals to charge, they thought that there were many coalition troops, far more than the Fujiao army, and if the melee began, it was still possible to fight with the Fujiao army!
Li Qin was watching the battle behind the battle, and when he saw that the allied forces of the princes also rushed up, he snorted and said secretly in his heart: "Do these guys think that if there are more people, they will definitely be able to win?" This is not the Great Plains, even if he is several times more numerous than me, the soldiers and generals cannot go into battle together, and they cannot outflank, but the soldiers and generals on the front side are against the generals, and there are few people, so what is the difference? ”
But think about it carefully, in fact, Yuan Shao's command is weak now, he has no way to unify the mobilization of the princes' coalition forces, if he does not charge at this time, but ranks up and releases arrows, then as long as there is a prince's army is timid and the lineup is loose, the other princes' armies will also be loosened, then the rout will happen immediately.
The two armies hedged against each other, and the generals of the coalition army did not have time to release arrows, but the Fujiao Army had already practiced countless times in ordinary exercises, and as long as they charged, they must release arrows!
The horn soldiers who rushed in front opened their bows and arrows, and the feather arrows flew away, and countless coalition soldiers immediately rolled down to the dust, and some soldiers on the front line saw it, so they strangled their horses, and didn't want to charge anymore, even if they wanted to charge, they had to let others rush up first, and they couldn't do the arrows themselves, but others did it very well, and they didn't need to stop!
The armies of the princes are all standing separately and divided into pieces, each prince with his own army, not by Yuan Shao unified mobilization, but although the battle line is opened, the charge still has to be rushed together, some can not step forward, some retreat!
There is a large camp between the Fujiao army and the coalition army, and the big camp is full of dead people and horses, which can be regarded as an obstacle, when the two armies rush outside the camp, it is impossible to accelerate and rush in, they have to stop outside the camp, and then they can go inside, in order to carry out hand-to-hand combat!
But as soon as the two armies stopped, the rain of arrows from the Fujiao Army shot over, round after round, the arrows were like flying locusts, endlessly, and in just a moment, they shot over thousands of coalition generals!
The coalition generals do not necessarily want to be loyal to the crown prince Liu, and the recruits have never seen the bloody battlefield, for Yuan Shao and the princes, these newly recruited generals are also a few of them, and when they are about to fight, they will be able to charge, and when they rush together, they will not be able to fight with their lives, in order to protect themselves, no matter how new the soldiers can kill some of the enemy. This kind of thing of driving new recruits into battle, many princes have done it, anyway, the dead are also recruits, it's a big deal to recruit again, it's nothing great!
But this time the princes kicked to the iron plate, and the recruits rushed into the enemy formation, no matter how timid they were, they had to fight for self-preservation, which is true, but the problem is that the recruits can't rush into the formation of the Fujiao Army now, and they are still far away, so they are put down in pieces, and they can't kill the enemy, they can only be killed, and the veterans can't stand this situation, let alone the recruits?
Before the hand-to-hand combat with the Fujiao army, the recruits of the coalition army couldn't stand it anymore, and retreated one after another, the recruits in the front team let out earth-shattering screams before they were shot to death, and the recruits in the back were frightened, and the recruits in the team who were far away from the princes simply turned around and fled, and they didn't dare to charge anymore, and they didn't even have the confidence to stay in the team, and they would die just standing still, in such a dangerous place, where could the recruits who had just entered the army stand it!
The recruits of one camp loosened, and the recruits of the other camps couldn't hold on, and they also fled one after another, at first there were dozens of dozens of people who secretly fled, but later it was hundreds of thousands of people who fled en masse, the princes and their generals could no longer control it, and the coalition army of nearly 100,000 began to collapse!
Yuan Shao was in a hurry, the battle had just begun, and the soldiers fled on a large scale, how could this battle be fought? He shouted: "Axemen, axemen, take back a few deserters and behead them on the spot to make an example!" He immediately gave the order to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey, and his knife and axe hand was really powerful, and as soon as the order was given, he grabbed seven or eight deserters, pressed them to the ground, and cut off the heads of the deserters!
As usual, this trick is very good, at least nine out of ten times to deter deserters! The decapitation before the battle can tell the deserter very clearly, flee, die now, fight, not necessarily die! The generals all understand this truth, as long as they see the most terrifying thing such as beheading on the spot, it is very possible to suppress the escape and reorganize the army!
However, the sequelae of Yuan Shao's stealing of the Fujiao Army's military training skills broke out at this most critical juncture! When Yuan Shao was in Fujiao Fort, he secretly recorded the method of military training, Li Qin and the generals of Fujiao both knew, not only did they not care, but on the contrary, they also deliberately misled, giving Yuan Shao an illusion, that is, as long as the soldiers were severely punished, then they would definitely be able to train good soldiers, Yuan Shao was convinced of this!
Moreover, when Yuan Shao followed Li Qin to go out to conquer and merge the state, he did see the overall combat mode of the Fujiao Army, the Fujiao soldiers were forbidden, and they obeyed orders very much, which he saw with his own eyes, and it really proved the benefits of severely punishing the soldiers, after Yuan Shao returned to Luoyang, he trained the troops accordingly, although the Yulin Army did not listen to the call very much, but it did have a lot of limelight, at least much stronger than before!
Therefore, when Yuan Shao trained recruits in Yuancheng, he also used the same method to punish the soldiers very harshly, although the soldiers were still obedient under the beating, but Yuan Shao also left the impression of being mean and unkind to the recruits!
Li Qin misled Yuan Shao, he only told Yuan Shao to be strict in training, but he didn't tell Yuan Shao that if the soldiers were trained well, then how to reward the soldiers, Yuan Shao didn't know this from beginning to end, the punishment was severe, and the rewards were also generous, but he only knew the first half, not the second half!
When practicing the Yulin Army, it is better to use the first half alone, most of the Yulin Army are the children of nobles, and their homes are in the capital, as long as no one lives, Yuan Shao can still suppress the Yulin Army, but where is the home of the recruits now? Most of the recruits are strong men who have been brought in, and they can endure it for a while just by beating and scolding, but if you want to kill them in battle, it won't work! The Lord will kill them, they just resist, anyway, there is no family in the hands of Yuan Shao, if they escape, they will flee, if they mutiny, they will mutiny, what can they do after the autumn? Settle accounts with whom!
Yuan Shao didn't kill these deserters, at most the recruits fled, but as soon as he killed the deserters, the recruits realized the danger and immediately turned back!
The recruits shouted one after another: "The surname Yuan, don't think that you are the leader of the alliance, how great it is, we usually beat and scold, we will endure it, and now they want to kill us, we will not serve!" It's the other way around, it's the other way around! ”
Some recruits shouted: "Follow Yuan Shao, either die at the hands of the enemy, or die in his hands, so what are you doing with him?" Wouldn't it be true to kill him and take his head to the Fujiao Army in exchange for some wine and meat to eat! ”
As soon as these words were shouted, countless recruits were attracted to join in, hundreds of recruits came to Yuan Shao to kill, it was too difficult to fight the Fujiao army, but it was very simple to kill a Yuan Shao, almost all the generals understood this truth, no one wanted to fight, as long as Yuan Shao died, everyone could go home and spend peace!
Yuan Shao was shocked, he remembered what Li Qin said just now, he wanted the coalition army to cut off his head, he was originally just worried about the rebellion of the princes, but he didn't think that the princes themselves would be difficult to protect, and they couldn't do anything to him, but the little soldiers who made him look down on the most came to oppose him, and now they came to oppose him, and so many people came together, mutiny before the battle, how could it be suppressed? Even if it is suppressed, Li Qin's Fujiao army is on the opposite side, and as soon as he rushes, he will still die!
At this critical moment, he really couldn't think of any good way, not even a bad way. He shouted to the Yulin soldiers beside him: "Protect me, return to Yuancheng, hurry, hurry!" ”
The generals of the Yulin Army were also frightened, if they said that they were the most happy to deal with Li Qin, a national thief, on the surface, but in fact, they were the weakest! If it weren't for the fact that there were many coalition soldiers, and the prince and the queen mother were sitting in the back, many of them would want to secretly flee back to Luoyang, or run to the Tiger Prison Pass and surrender to Li Qin, but they still want to wait and see, and wait for the situation to understand, and then they will make a decision!
However, there is no need to wait and see now, the defeat of the coalition army is a foregone conclusion, and even Yuan Shao is now thinking about escaping, what else do these Yulin troops have to hesitate about? Those recruits are right, follow Yuan Shao to a dead end, but if the chaos is rectified now, then there is still hope, at least take Yuan Shao's head and surrender to the past, and the high-ranking officials dare not think about it, but they can save their lives and reunite with their families in Luoyang, but it is definitely possible!
Hearing Yuan Shao shouting, a Yulin military captain beside him shouted: "Yuan Shao, you anti-thief, bad for my big room Hanshan, I will never spare you!" He raised the spear in his hand and stabbed it at Yuan Shao!
Yuan Shao still had his cronies and generals by his side, and with a wave of the big gun, he opened the spear of the Yulin Military Academy Captain, and stabbed it with one shot, and stabbed the Yulin Military Academy Captain off his horse!
The cronie general shouted: "Whoever dares to rebel will be killed!" ”
Before he could speak to the ground, he heard a scream behind him, which was actually sent by Yuan Shao, and when the general looked back, he saw another Yulin military captain slashing Yuan Shao's shoulder with a big knife, and several Yulin soldiers rushed over, each raising their weapons, and slashing at Yuan Shao!
In an instant, Yuan Shao's side was in chaos, and Yu Linjun and Yuan Shao's cronies fought!
A general of the Yulin Army jumped off the war horse, silently flashed behind Yuan Shao's horse, and cut off one of Yuan Shao's thighs with a knife in his hand, and then he pulled Yuan Shao violently, pulled Yuan Shao to tilt his body, and with a swing of the knife, cut off Yuan Shao's head!
The general laughed wildly: "I took Yuan Shao's head, haha......" Before he could laugh twice, someone next to him actually hacked him to death with a knife and snatched Yuan Shao's head!
Yuan Shao's head is very valuable, and the surrounding soldiers and generals all want to get it, and for a while, they cut and kill each other, and before the Fujiao army came over, their own people first cut down their own people, and the blood flowed like a river!
