Chapter 186: Changes in Yanzhou (21)
However, he said that Zhang Ji led his troops out of Hongnong and went east to the sour jujube city in the north of Chenliu. After that, he went east to capture the boiled jujube city more than 40 miles north of Yiju County, and made a plan to continue to attack Dingtao in the east.
Subsequently, Cao Cao sent troops from the Chengshi to the east, intending to attack Juye.
Chen Gong couldn't help but say: "Right now, Juye is in danger, and you two need one more troops to come to the rescue." ”
Feng Xian said: "Before Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Changyi, I led the cavalry battalion to rescue Juye, and the virtuous brother stayed just in case." ”
I said, "Yuan Shaojun's scouts are always keeping an eye on the movements of our army, and if I guess correctly, once my brother sends troops to the rescue of Juye, Yuan Shao's side will send troops to intercept them; The cavalry battalion was too small in numbers to defeat ten times its own number of men and horses in a short time; In addition, the 10,000 horses of Zhangji in the west seem to be attacking Dingtao; At the moment, both sides are at stake, and the result will only make us take care of one at the expense of the other. ”
When Feng Xian heard this, he couldn't help but groan, and said with a sad face: "If that's the case, how should we deal with it?" ”
Chen Gong said: "Since it is difficult to take care of the two ends, it is better to kill the enemy first; In my opinion, the two of you will send troops together to destroy the enemy's forces. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but look moved, nodded and said: "This proposal of the public station is not bad, since the positional war is not easy to fight, then let's fight guerrilla warfare; As long as we can continue to destroy the living forces of the enemy army, I believe that the final victory will still belong to our army. ”
So, Feng Xian and I led 3,000 cavalry and quickly drove towards Juye Castle. When we reached more than ten miles away from Juye, Yuan Shao really sent 10,000 elite cavalry to intercept it. Immediately, a raid battle inevitably occurred.
Originally, they brought dozens of explosives with them in this battle, but because the other side had taken precautions in advance, they were not able to lose too many troops. Therefore, if you want to greatly destroy the enemy's living force this time, you still need to rush to the front to fight in person.
The. The main commanders of the other side were Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and each of them led 5,000 cavalry to attack from both sides. Feng Xian and I were ready to deal with one by one, but what made people wonder was that the two guys did not come up directly to engage the two of us, but commanded the infantry to defend in front of the formation with thorn shields, and the crossbowmen to shoot at the rear of the infantry. In this regard, I have to praise that the two guys have become smarter.
Although we are in a passive situation now, it doesn't matter, it's only temporary. As long as it allows me to rush to the other side. You can immediately change from passive to active.
Immediately, I rushed first, and in a short time I was close to the front. But then I can't jump on the horse, because the other party has already prepared a way to prevent me. They placed a platoon of spearmen behind the shieldmen, and if I jumped through the air as soon as I flew over, my mount would be poked out of the belly by the spearmen below. Therefore, the leap trick no longer works, and now we can only rely on the real hard rush.
When I rushed to the tip of the spear of the shield, I immediately turned my horse's head and ran to the left. And quickly hooked the tip of the spear of the thorn shield diagonally to the side with the crescent blade on the side of the halberd. Immediately, the shield soldiers in the front row of the opponent lacked a gap, and then the cavalry behind me rushed into the opponent's formation at once, and then swept wildly. Beat the opponent's men and horses to the ground, looking for teeth all over the ground.
As the saying goes, "You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder". In the final battle, you must know how to improvise.
Although the stabbing shield is an excellent equipment that belongs to the integration of attack and defense. But its disadvantage is that the direction of the tip of the gun can only be aimed at the front. If the tip of the spear turns in the same direction, then the shield will also turn with it, so that the formed formation will immediately lose a gap. And I am several times stronger than ordinary people by virtue of my own strength. Combined with the excellent performance of the Heavenly Painting Halberd, it can easily hook the tip of the thorn shield and force it to turn.
In any case, I designed this equipment myself, and I know exactly how to use it and destroy it. However, the other party tried to deal with me with my things, which is simply "looking for".
The rest of the campaign is much simpler. I just hooked the tip of the spear of the thorn shield and ran to the edge of the opponent's formation, and then directly slashed into the opponent's formation. When I rushed to the middle of the opponent's formation, I found that Zhang Xiao had already fought with Wen Chou, and Zhang Xiao had a slight upper hand in the situation.
At this time, when Wen Chou saw me rushing over, he was immediately nervous, and he didn't dare to fight Zhang Xiao anymore. Immediately, he made a false move, quickly turned his horse's head and fled. As soon as Wen Chou's side retreated, his subordinate sergeants also retreated.
Because Feng Xian's weapon did not have the performance of the halberd in my hand, he was unable to break through the opponent's defense line as quickly as I did. However, he also has his own methods, because his archery skills are better, and the Qinghong in his hand has a much longer range than ordinary bows and crossbows, so he aims at the opponent's shield-wielding soldiers and shoots them one by one. And when Wen Chou's department had just retreated, he had already broken through the enemy's defensive line, and was killing all sides in the opponent's formation at the moment.
Then, Feng Xian exchanged hands with Yan Liang again. Yan Liang's martial arts are quite good, but in Feng Xian's hands, it is not enough to see, but after more than ten moves, he was swept in the back by Feng Xian. Although the armor he was equipped with was relatively good for protection, the strong force shook his back and numb. If you give a few more strokes, you won't be injured externally and internally.
And it just so happened that at this time, Yan Liang also learned that Wen Chou's troops had retreated, and he knew in his heart that I would soon come to help Feng Xian, if I didn't retreat quickly at this time, I wouldn't be able to wait for a while. So, he wisely chose to retreat.
Although the opponent's reinforcements have been repulsed by us, Juye Castle is also about to be captured by Cao's army. Even if we continue to go to the rescue at this moment, it is too late, because Yuan Shao has already sent Zhang He and Gao Ran to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack Changyi. In line with the principle of giving up the small to protect the big, we had to ruthlessly give up Juye and immediately go back to rescue Changyi.
The speed at which we rescued us was very fast, so fast that Zhang He and Gao Ran could not respond in time. When the two of them had just launched an attack on Changyi, Feng Xian and I arrived with the crowd and immediately attacked them from behind. Then, the opponent's formation was in chaos for a while, Zhang He and Gao Ran did not dare to fight more, and immediately led their troops to retreat to the Chengshi in the northwest.
As a result, the crisis in Changyi was lifted, and Juye City was also captured, and Xue Lan and Li Feng were beheaded by Cao Cao's order. Cao Cao is a hero, he is quite decisive in his decision-making on killing, and he will never be soft when it is time to attack, even if I am inferior to him in this regard. It's just that I look at the problem too deeply, and I always want to handle a matter fairly to the extent that it is perfect.
This personality of mine is a bit obsessive-compulsive, which is good at some times, but may not be good at other times. But I don't think this is wrong, and only by looking at the problem deeply enough can it really benefit the future. A momentary setback doesn't mean anything, and time will ultimately tell who is right.
Therefore, in this world, only time is the only truth. (To be continued......)
