Chapter 149: Yuan Shao's Respect
Li Ru is a very smart man, and he is also the first person to make meritorious achievements in the profession of strategist, it can be said that he single-handedly led the ambition of the poor scholars and injected new strength into the tide of the times; He is very powerful, no one denies it, especially his methods are feminine, so some people call him - "Yin Shi"! The Yin Warrior, the Conspiracy Person!
Lord Yin Shi also has miscalculations, for example, as the head of the Yuan family, killing Yuan Kui can split the Yuan family, which is inevitable, because the shining twin stars of the Yuan family have emerged and become the mainstay of the Dong coalition army; After Yuan Kui's head was hung under the Jianyang Gate, his family was sent to Bishui Pass and given to Yuan Shu, and at the same time they also told Yuan Shao the news, Yuan Kui did not directly decide the position of the head of the Yuan family, and now that he is dead, maybe his family will bring his last words!
"Ziyuan! GOP! What do you think about this? Uncle died, the position of the head of the Yuan family has not been decided, and now Dong Zhuo will give his uncle's family to the highway, but I am afraid that he will provoke him, but the position of the head of the Yuan family is something I can't give up! ”; Yuan Shao's eyes were red, slightly puffy, his voice was low and hoarse, it could be seen that he was now in a lost time period, people's hearts were flesh and blood, Yuan Kui was to Yuan Shao, that was a mentor and friend, half father and half teacher, now that Yuan Kui suffered from this catastrophe, it was strange that he could feel good in his heart; "Lord", Xu You frowned slightly, hesitating, he didn't know what to say, now Yuan Shao is in a stage of irritability, once he says the wrong thing, I'm afraid something big will happen, Yuan Shao's feelings for Yuan Kui can still be seen, just yesterday when he heard the news, he squirted a mouthful of old blood, shouted an oath to get rid of the national thief, fainted; "Don't mother-in-law! If you have anything to say, just say it! I know that my current status does not allow me to lose my mind! Yuan Benchu squinted his eyes, very painful, if he wanted to become a careerist, he needed to abandon everything that was unrealistic, but could he really abandon it?
Xu You said in a deep voice: "If the lord wants to achieve great things, he must make himself a hard-hearted person!" You want to be a hero, ruthless, wise and decisive, even in the saddest moments, it should not be about personal feelings, but about how to make the most of it."
These words were said carefully, Xu Ziyuan still finished speaking, and at the end, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, stood aside with low eyebrows, and occasionally lifted his eyelids to peek at Yuan Shao to see his expression; "I see!" , Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Help me think about how it should be now!" ", I had a lot of headaches, and Yuan Benchu was bleeding even more in his heart! Heart of stone? Give up family affection? Thinking only about what's at stake? Am I still a living person?
"Send someone to inquire about Yuan Highway's movements first, see what his reaction is, and then make a plan!" , Guo Tu's face is white and beardless, and his voice is very feminine, just like those little yellow doors that have entered the palace, giving people the feeling of a poisonous snake; Xu You's eyes rolled and said: "What the public rule said is very reasonable, now that Yuan Highway has the lead, we can only wait and see the changes, in order to make a preemptive attack!" It's just that the person who goes to Yuan Highway to find out the news needs a resourceful person! I think that the rule is just right for the next! ”
"You", Guo Tu's face is ugly, he and Xu You have a competitive relationship, the two of them have different concepts, and the collision is inevitably more intense, Xu You is deliberately taking him away and doing it alone, look at Yuan Shao's expectant expression, Guo Tu secretly sighed that he seized the opportunity!
Since there is no shirk, then do not shirk! The implication of the position of the head of the Yuan family is also very large, and the credit for completing this matter is not small, and he arched his hand, and Guo Gong said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord!" In the next must live up to the trust of the lord! ”
Guo Tu was squeezed out, Xu You was proud, this is his victory internally, and he also wants to win externally! Because the ideas are different, the things planned are not the same, Xu You is a military genius, he despises Guo Tu's stinginess, what's the point of making a small fuss? If you want to play, play big!
Tiger Prison guard Li Wei, one of the four generals under Dong Zhuo, is an absolute diehard, he was just a horse dealer at the beginning, and was later convinced by Dong Zhuo, and has been willingly following Dong Zhuo, from Xiliang to Bingzhou, and from Bingzhou to Xiliang, the road has been bumpy and has never had other thoughts; In short, Li Dao is a self-taught general, with his own style and characteristics, he is best at the tactical command of cavalry, good at frontal assault with formed cavalry, scattering or playing an opportunity to send a partial division to lay the victory; The tactics are very simple, but they have repeatedly worked, and he himself is often smug, you don't see, how embarrassed was Yuan Shao two days ago? What kind of famous party general Mu Shun was not trampled into a meatloaf by Xiliang Tieqi?
"Knock knock", the sound of war drums resounded excitedly, and the sound of shouting and killing outside the Tiger Prison woke up Li Dao in his sleep, and hurriedly picked up the big knife, and he didn't even have time to put on the armor, Li Dao shouted: "Don't panic!" What's going on? In the middle of the night! ”
The coalition army did not attack at night, but continued to harass, this is a typical tired tactic, Li Dao did not close his eyes all night, his heart was indignant, and he was full of anger and scolded, scolding those rats of the Kwantung Army; It was just dawn, and the pale blue sky was still studded with a few sparse remnant stars. The door of the tiger prison that had been closed for a long time slowly opened, and the Xiliang bearded soldiers who swarmed out were murderous, the female surname who was disturbed by sleep was very terrifying, and the male surname who was disturbed by sleep was also terrifying; One by one, the faces were not washed, and they could faintly see their reddened eyes, and there was eye feces hanging on the corners of their eyes, Li Wei was enraged, and the Xiliang army was also provoked, and the tired soldiers' tactics were the most insidious, which was well known; Xiliang horses are rampant all over the world, the so-called rampant refers to the field battles on the plains, rushing These people are not good at attacking the city, and they are also not good at defending the city, so they can't ride a horse and stand on the wall to defend the city, right?
The power of the Xiliang soldiers who dismounted will be weakened a lot, and the enemy troops three times their own are likely to constantly harass them, and once they are relaxed, the tiger prison will be in danger! Li Dao decided to go out to face the battle, at least to temporarily force the alliance army out of here!
As everyone knows, he has fallen into the trap now, and Xu Yu has already designed everything! He always thought that it was most appropriate to kill the Xiliang Army in a decisive battle in the field! The ferocity of the Xiliang cavalry is well known to the world, and he is good at field battles, but his decision is to destroy the Xiliang army in the field!
Very crazy thoughts, Guo Tu felt that he was too arrogant, Guo Tu had always advocated confrontation with Li Dao, waiting for the opportunity to say, Xu You is a person with ideals and ambitions, and buried deep pride, his thoughts are very radical, and he cannot be accepted by the conservative Guo Tu, which is also the scene where Guo Tu was branched out; "My lord! Li Dao has a plan! This battle will be won! Xu You's thin cheeks opened widely, and he couldn't help but be happy now; Yuan Shao nodded, took out his sword casually, and shouted angrily: "Get rid of the thief and rebel!" Right now! Obey the order! Beat the drums! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"Victory! Win! Win! Roar, roar, roar", the roar of the alliance army pierced into the sky, and even Li Dao, who was rushing over, felt the anger and strong fighting spirit of the alliance army! For a while, I was close to each other; The gate of the alliance army was opened, and Yuan Shaojun, dressed in red clothes and black armor, rushed out first! followed by the Shangdang and the Bingzhou cavalry troops and the crossbowmen troops of Shanyang Yuan Yi, not only were there many people, but the elite degree of Yuan Shao's three roads was also second to none among the princes; Zhang Yang's troops were all from Bingzhou, with 40,000 horses, and more than 30,000 troops from Shanyang Yuan, and the rest were soldiers and horses recruited by Yuan Benchu, who fought with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the Qingzhou area, and they were not rookie soldiers; The alliance army has a large force of 150,000 people and can still scare people, Li Dao also faintly felt that something was wrong there, and he couldn't say it for a while, and sneered: "Kwantung rats!" All the bravado! Little ones! Destroy them! I give you credit to the Prime Minister! Kill ——! ”
The Xiliang Army's unrestrained howl is chaotic, buzzing like a headless fly, which can be regarded as a sonic attack, right? Diffuse smoke and dust, the Xiliang army formed a large cone formation, and there was a small cone formation on each side, forming a mutual coordination trend, and the tiger was vigorously slaughtered; The coalition army on the opposite side has only walked out of the camp, and the formation has not yet been lined up! Li Dao's eyes were shining, this was an opportunity! A godsend! The Union army is not firmly established, and they are likely to be directly defeated after a charge!
One thought is a big mistake! Li Wei didn't know that Xu Yu had already set a trap and was waiting for him to come over and throw himself into the net! After all, it is a war, and no one can completely predict what the other party will do, everyone is mortal!
The Sanli Alliance Army was still beckoning the troops to rectify the formation, and Yuan Shao's angry appearance in Erli had already come into view! The alliance army began to panic and became more and more chaotic! One hundred steps
"Boom", the ground is sinking! The Xiliang cavalry continued to accelerate to the peak in front of the alliance army, and therefore couldn't stop the car, a trench about a mile wide and about three zhang wide appeared in Li Wei's eyes! If he hadn't been in the Chinese army, he would have rushed into the trench like the vanguard troops, and then been crushed to death by the follow-up troops!
"Hahaha", Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and smiled: "Li Dao! You've got it! Kill thieves to repay the country! ”
Xu You sneered again and again, standing on a high tower and waving the command flag to guide the troops to attack, his appetite was surprisingly big, but it was just a small dampening of Li Dao's arrogance, what was it to eliminate the impact of the Xiliang cavalry? What he needs is to annihilate Li Dao! So as to open up the road to Luoyang City, and help Yuan Benchu to a higher position!
"Rockets! Put! As soon as the flag danced, the soldiers and horses led by Yuan Yi took bows and arrows, lit the prepared rockets, and shot towards the wide trench, which was already full of fire oil and hay, and the fire soared to the sky in an instant, and the wisps of black smoke were filled with the smell of burnt paste and the cry of pain!
There are nearly 1,000 Xiliang troops in the trenches! Xu You burned them to death in the most brutal way! Many people in the Xiliang Army were fierce and their eyes were red, after all, they were the Pao Ze brothers! But more people were frightened by such a poignant scene!
Li Dao's face was ugly, he led more than 40,000 troops on this trip, and there were only six or seven thousand garrison troops left in the entire Tiger Prison Pass, it seems that Yuan Shao had already taken precautions, if he took advantage of the loophole to break through the Tiger Prison Pass, he was afraid that the head would not be protected! Li Dao had the idea of retreating; Xu You didn't want to give him such a simple chance to slip away, and the flamboyant cavalry troops bypassed the trench and did not attack Li Dao, but went straight around them, as if they were going to directly attack the Tiger Prison Pass! Seeing that it was not good, Li Dao hurriedly ordered the division of troops to pursue and entangle Zhang Yang, so that they could not be allowed to run to the Tiger Prison Pass!
The soldiers and horses were separated, the combat ability of the Xiliang Army was weakened a lot, and the smile on Xu You's face was even brighter, now was the time for a fatal blow! The Shanyang soldiers hid on the other side of the flame and kept shooting, and the Xiliang army gradually retreated; At the same time, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses rumbled! The momentum is greater than that of a cavalry charge! Because they have adopted a more retro way of warfare, putting the former weapon of war on the foreground again - the chariot!
When the Huns attacked the Central Plains, cavalry warfare also became the mainstream offensive weapon, and the ancient chariot slowly developed into a transport vehicle for transporting grain, grass and baggage. The impact of the chariot can be said to be greater than that of light cavalry, comparable to heavy cavalry, but the reason why he was abandoned is that his mobility and flexibility are far inferior to that of cavalry, especially when turning the direction is very difficult, and he can only charge forward!
If the two armies meet in an open area, one side is the cavalry and the other is the chariot, I am afraid that the chariot will be played to death by the cavalry, but! There is everything, however, Xu Yu's trench stopped the Xiliang soldiers, which means that they are now concentrated in formation, and their flexible surnames are greatly reduced, and the chariot is very effective at this time!
The chariots that had long been ambushed on both sides of the battlefield rushed out, two horses and four people, one to control the chariot, one to shoot with a bow and crossbow for long-range strikes, two armed with spears or halberds to attack at close range, and sharp iron weapons were placed on both sides of the wheels; There are 3,000 such chariots, if it weren't for the time constraint Xu Yu still thinking about modification, 5,000 chariots would be the best number in his heart! The charge of the chariot soon reached the front of the Xiliang army, and Li Wei finally felt that something bad was coming!
The crowded and concentrated formation almost killed them, and in the cramped space, they couldn't resist the impact of the chariot at all, and there were not a few who were directly hit and killed! For a while, the sound of people boiling and neighing was terrible!
The formation of the Xiliang Army was compressed smaller and smaller, and the chariots were still charging up desperately! Li Dao shouted: "Disperse and break through!" Scatter the breakout! What the fuck are you doing? "At this time, the price of pretending to be a hero will be very high, he has always believed in the concept that as long as there is a life, he can make a comeback, and save his life first!
"My lord! All-out attack! Just run over it! Li Dao is defeated! Xu You's face turned red and he was excited! Is there anything more glorious than using one's talents to win?
Yuan Shao swept away the gloom in his heart and patted Xu You's shoulder: "Well done!" When the war is over, I will reward you well! ”
The alliance army suffered a defeat two days ago, and now they have the absolute upper hand, revenge and shame, fighting a good battle It is estimated that many people like this feeling, Yuan Shao only needs to wave his hand lightly, and the army behind him will rush over with a wolf howl; The Xiliang army is surrounded and in danger! Li Dao took out his courage, threw his helmet to the ground, took off his armor, and went into battle shirtless! There is no need for impassioned mobilization, just a shout: "Follow me if you want to live!" "There will be people who are desperate!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The Xiliang army fought bravely to be the first, following Li Wei's footsteps to break through to the death, and when their lives were threatened, they broke out with absolute combat effectiveness, and some soldiers who were good at fighting with the wind began to be shocked by their ferocity, and did not dare to come forward to fight again;" I'm so by these cowards! Yuan Shao shook his head, disappointed in these soldiers, and shouted: "Descender"
"My lord!" , Xu You hurriedly stopped Yuan Shao: "Lord! The surrender of the Xiliang Army is absolutely unacceptable! If this is the case, I am afraid that these soldiers and horses will never become the real elite, and they should be encouraged to kill the enemy at this moment! Even if Li Wei runs away, at least after experiencing a tragic battle, these soldiers and horses will become your capital."
Xu You said a lot, what Yuan Shao wanted to shout was that the surrenderer would not be killed, once he shouted out, he was only afraid that his own soldiers would be demoralized, not desperate to serve, just waiting for the Xiliang army to surrender, that would only increase the probability of the Xiliang army breaking through, besides, an elite military horse is the capital of the rise of the future, and now it has the upper hand, why not take this opportunity to train the troops?
"You're right!" , Yuan Shao nodded, and then shouted: "Behead the enemy!" Reward 100 bucks! Behead your enemies! The official is promoted to the third level, and the reward is 5,000 yuan! ”
Wealth is moving, and there will be motivation with rewards! The alliance army that was repelled by Li Dao's ferocity gathered again, revealing sharp broadswords and spears, as if the head on the neck of the Xiliang army was not a head, but bags of treasure!
"The one who enters is born! Death to those who retreat! Kill ——! Li Dao's body was full of horrific wounds and bloodstains, and there was a feather arrow on his chest that was broken by him, like a fighter returning from purgatory! In any case, with his current performance, he can deserve the title of a warrior no matter what!
When he came, there were more than 40,000 people, and when he returned, almost half of his men and horses were lost, and Li Dao was seriously wounded and almost died, and the alliance army won a big victory, and with the morale of the big victory, he stormed the Tiger Pass
Li Wei insisted on writing a letter asking for help with blood and sent it to Luoyang City, and he himself suffered a defeat this time, and it was an unprecedented defeat for the Xiliang army, knowing that Dong Zhuo would soon punish him, and might even wipe out his nine clans in a rage, so he was already facing the alliance army outside the gate with a mortal heart!
In one day, he repelled six large-scale attacks by the Union army! The hand holding the knife began to tremble, and his face was even more pale and bloodless, and he was extremely tough!
"How many generals are there under Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Dong Zhuo?" , Yuan Shao looked at the tiger prison that could not be overcome, and sighed! At least he paid tribute to his opponent, the man who was already staggering but struggling not to fall!
It's not enough to have respect, killing him is the best choice!
