Chapter 361: Group Operations

That evening, Jia Xu personally handed a handwritten letter to Pound to read, the content of which was nothing more than greeting Wen Chou in the name of Pound, with sincere words and a kind tone, but he did not mention the current war. Pang De didn't ask about his intentions, printed his personal seal, and sent someone to the Yuan army camp to hand it over to the commander Wen Chou.

Wen Chou knew that Pound had the intention to win him over, but he was also stunned by Pound's big ass, and he took it out for his subordinates to watch, and he was very happy. All the soldiers in the Yuan army knew the name of Pang De, and now they saw that Pang De admired Wen Chou so much, and they were slightly surprised.

The next day, Wen Chou personally wrote a letter back to order someone to send it to the Pound Barracks, in which he was first humble, and then talked about some views on martial arts and the art of war, and also did not say a word about the war.

In this way, the two of them actually sent messages to each other three times in three days, and the content was not only martial arts, but also the art of war. Pound's handwriting was naturally written by Jia Xu, and between the lines, he greatly admired Wen Chou's character and martial arts. Wen Chou is not a rough person, he repays the favor at the moment, admires each other with Pound, and raises each other's net worth.

In the blink of an eye, the third day had passed, and at the beginning of the fourth day, the two sides raised the army to fight in the field. Before the war between the two armies, Wen Chou rode a green horse, carried a steel gun, and wore a phoenix-winged helmet, which was extraordinary. glanced at the generals on the left and right, and shouted: "The main force of the enemy army is all gathered here, and we are waiting for the grace of the lord, just fighting bloody battles and fighting to the death!" Who dares to come forward to challenge, cut the generals before the battle, and strengthen the prestige of our army! ”

As soon as the words fell, a bearded man stood up, hugged his fists and said: "The last general is not talented, I am willing to beg the enemy and scold the formation, and kill the enemy general, and if you don't win, you won't return!" ”

Wen Chou fixed his eyes and saw it, but it was the general Guo Yuan, and said at the moment: "It's good to have General Guo out of the horse, but this battle is not allowed to be defeated, if it frustrates the spirit of our army, don't blame the general for dealing with it!" ”

"Order!" Guo Yuan immediately turned over and got on his horse, carrying a spear and came to the front of the two armies to scold.

Pang De, as the main general, would not go out easily, and was about to ask, but saw Pang Rou, Ma Dai, and Wang Shuang stand up almost at the same time to ask for their lives. Pang De didn't know the depth of the enemy, so he had to send Wang Shuang, who was the strongest martial artist among the three, to fight.

After receiving the order, Wang Shuang was excited, and immediately hid the meteor hammer and the iron tire bow, and was about to go out to meet the enemy with a long knife. At this moment, Jia Xu, who came with the army, came over and whispered a few words in Wang Shuang's ear. Wang Shuang's brows furrowed slightly, but he still nodded, slapped his war horse and went straight to the front of the two armies, and shouted: "The anti-thieves are rampant, and the general Wang Shuang, the general of Huwei, is here!" ”

Guo Yuan was born in a family, and his martial arts can only be regarded as average, and he became a general because of his close relationship with Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan. This time, Yuan Shao incorporated the family slaves, displaced people, and refugees to form a protector, and many children of the family held important positions in the army. In peacetime, he commanded hundreds or even thousands of soldiers, and a sense of superiority arose. If you can make a limelight in front of the two armies, there is no doubt that there is another capital to brag about.

Guo Yuan thought that his martial arts were not bad, and dozens of strong domestic slaves could not get close to him during training, as if he was invincible in the world, he was not afraid of fighting generals in front of the battle, and he would not put Wang Shuang in his eyes, and said at the moment: "Ma Chao is ** also!" You are Ma Chao's minions, how dare you call yourself a general? If you know each other, you will immediately dismount and surrender, and Ben may give you a way to go!" If not, next year today will be your sacrifice? ”

Wang Shuang was furious and scolded: "Pifu'an dares to speak wildly? Wang's head is here, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to take it! With that, he picked up the sixty-six-pound Xuantie knife and slashed it directly at the top of Guo Yuan's head.

Guo Yuan was not afraid, and hurriedly raised his horse to meet him, and after a crisp sound when the two horses intersected, the spear in Guo Yuan's hand flew away without any suspense, and his own tiger mouth cracked, and his face was pale. It was too late, it was fast, at the moment when the two horses were staggered, Wang Shuang's ape arm was stretched, and the jade belt around Guo Yuan's waist was grabbed by his right hand like lightning, and as soon as the waist pole was straightened, he pulled it over and put it on his horse's back as if it were nothing, and punched Guo Yuan in the back of the head, and the latter immediately fainted.

This beautiful hand immediately captured the enemy and immediately detonated the audience, and more than 100,000 troops behind Pang De cheered and cheered. Even many people in Yuan's army couldn't help but echo it.

Wang Shuang struck a successful blow and immediately returned to his camp to ask for credit. Pang De and Jia Xu were overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to tie them up and detain them. Wen Chou was angry and scolded: "Waste! Eater! Even the waste that can't be stopped by others still dares to take the initiative to ask for war? I really don't know whether to live or die! ”

When the words fell, Guo Yuan's friend Gao Gan was not happy, and stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Needless to say, General Wen bravely crowned the three armies, so why not go out to meet the enemy in person?" If so, how could there be a matter of General Guo being defeated and captured? ”

Wen Chou's face was pale, and his eyes glared at Gao Gan angrily and shouted: "The enemy general has not moved, how can this general make a move easily?" General Gao is unhappy for Guo Yuan, he must have a brave strategy, and he will immediately order you to fight Wang Shuang and capture him alive! ”

"You" Gao Gan was furious, he had always looked down on Wen Chou, who was born in a poor family, and Yuan Shao did not use his nephew as the commander in attack on Jingzhou this time, and his heart became more and more unbalanced, so he had to be sarcastic when looking for an opportunity.

It's okay in normal times, and Wen Chou doesn't have the same knowledge as this son, but now how can he allow others to gossip in front of the two armies? At the moment, he held the hilt of the sword and looked at Gao Gan, without the slightest intention of retreating.

Seeing this, Xu You and Yuan Yu, the two supervisors who came with the army, hurriedly came out to relieve the siege, Xu You said: "At the moment of the great enemy, please don't want internal strife among the two generals, how can you be worthy of the trust of the lord!" General Gao occasionally felt cold and unwell, and asked General Wen to calm his anger, I think it would be better to let General Lei Bo fight? ”

Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Yi and Ji Ling and other generals echoed one after another, although Wen Chou was the main general, he had no choice but to nod his head. Lei Bo was originally a child of a family, and when Yuan Shao pacified Yu and Yang Erzhou, he came to defect with his friend Chen Lan of the same county. The Yuan family saw that the two were born in a family, and their martial arts were extraordinary, so they reused them, and now they are serving as generals in the army.

Lei Bo thought to himself that Wuyi and Guo Yuan were between Bozhong, if he fought with Wang Shuang, he would have no chance of winning, but he couldn't disobey the military order, so he glanced at Xu You with hatred at the moment, so he had to pat his horse and go to meet the enemy, secretly planning to fight for a few rounds and then retreat.

In front of the two armies, the general sent by Pang De this time was Ma Dai. After the two reported their names to each other, Lei Bo was overjoyed, Ma Dai was Ma Chao's cousin, this matter is known to the world, if he can capture Ma Dai, it can be a miracle. Even Wen Chou, Ji Ling, Gao Gan, Chen Lan and others who were watching the battle in the back were jealous and envious.

As soon as Ma Dai saw Lei Bo's expression, he guessed his thoughts, and sneered at the moment: "General Ben is still a captain now, but your head can make General Ben be promoted to a colonel, and General Ben thanked him before he started!" "After that, he slashed his knife and swept through thousands of troops with one move and took Lei Bo's neck.

Lei Bo also made a big knife, and stood with Ma Dai in a vigorous spirit at the moment. At present, Ma Dai has reached the age of eighteen, eight feet long, with a vigorous body, and the family knife technique is also quite hot.

The two fought to Shihe, and Ma Dai had the absolute upper hand, beating Lei Bo to the point that he only had the ability to parry and had no power to fight back, so he could win without Shihe.

Lei Bo is not a stupid person, he just didn't expect Ma Dai to have such force at such a young age, seeing that he couldn't resist it, he shook his sword and turned the horse away.

"Where to go!" How could Ma Dai let him go so easily? At that moment, he hung up the long knife, reached out and took out the meteor hammer and shook it, hitting Lei Bo's left shoulder, and hitting it under the horse I don't know if I was alive or dead!

The 100,000-strong army was once again thunderous with joy, and its morale had risen to the extreme. On the other hand, Yuan Shao's 200,000 miscellaneous troops were all depressed and beat their chests. The biggest purpose of fighting before the battle is to boost the morale of the enemy and hit the enemy's morale.

Wen Chou couldn't help frowning when he saw this, but how could he, as the main general, fight easily? It is even more unfeasible for the whole army to surprise the whole army, and the chances of victory in such a situation are not even 30%.

On Pound's side, on the contrary, when Ma Dai won the victory, he ordered the generals to lead his cavalry to charge. Tens of thousands of iron horsemen attacked at the same time, suddenly bringing up a puff of smoke and dust, and thousands of troops and horses rushed straight towards Wen Chou's camp.

Seeing this, Wen Chou hurriedly commanded the enemy, first of all, there were pikemen on the periphery to arrange a spear array, and the sharp spears were densely lined up into a hedgehog wall, waiting for Pound's cavalry to automatically rush up and send him to death. Behind the spear array were heavy sluggers, each armed with a large yellow skull, ready to shoot the cavalry that rushed at him from a distance. Behind them were a motley army with a variety of weapons, densely packed together with more than 100,000 people, and the entire front was nearly ten miles long.

Seeing this, Pang De didn't want to make a senseless sacrifice, so he immediately ordered his cousin Pang Rou and Wang Shuang to lead 10,000 cavalry each to run to both sides, in order to make a detour to attack the flank of Wen Chou's army. A large group of cavalry diverted in the north and south directions like two dragons out of the water array, leaving only smoke and dust along the way, making it impossible to see the reality clearly.

Wen Chou had no cavalry team at all, so he could only watch the division of troops, and he had the intention to change the formation and was afraid that Pang De would still have cavalry behind, so he had to keep the formation unchanged and wait to see the situation clearly.

After a few moments, the smoke and dust gradually cleared, and I saw a group of sword and shield soldiers slowly approaching with neat steps. There were only more than ten rows of men and horses horizontally, but there were countless longitudinal ones, and they came towards Yuan's position in a half-moon shape. Under the light of the sun, the soldiers of Pound's army were all dressed in shining fish scales, wearing black iron helmets, and their masks were hideous and terrifying, like the demon gods in hell.

What's even more terrifying is that this team is not all sword and shield soldiers, and there are also many archers and crossbowmen among them, and if they get close, these spearmen will surely suffer heavy losses. And the heavy riders behind the spear array couldn't shoot through the shields of the people at all, and the feathered arrows and crossbow arrows that shot out were shot back by the others.

Wen Chou was anxious, and secretly scolded Ma Chao in his heart for having strong financial resources, such sophisticated equipment and a hundred battles of elite soldiers, it is simply an invincible army. Ninety percent of his team were unfought recruits, and even if they were twice as numerous, they had no chance of winning. Deputy General Ji Ling also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good, if you force an attack, you will definitely lose, please think twice!" (To be continued.) )
