Chapter 41: Trapping the Camp

General Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong immediately led a thousand Xiliang elite soldiers into the garrison of nearly 10,000 forbidden troops, He Miao died tragically, for a while the forbidden army was leaderless, and a group of generals and colonels were busy fighting for power.

In addition, some of the generals had already planned to defect to Dong Zhuo, and Xu Rong led the army, and under the leadership of these generals, he was like a bamboo, and occupied the forbidden army garrison without any resistance.

The generals who originally wanted to gather to fight against Dong Zhuo had not yet had time to unite, but they had been killed by Xu Rong's troops, and they couldn't help but cut off their heads immediately, the general trend was gone, and the troops of these generals surrendered one after another.

He Miao died, Dong Zhuo almost bloodlessly took down nearly 10,000 forbidden troops of the Gongwei Jing Division, shocked the court, and Tian Yu became the two most threatening foreign soldiers.

For a while, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was above the court, heard that Dong Zhuo had taken control of the forbidden army, and he was suddenly frightened, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Just thinking that the forbidden troops of the outer court were all subordinate to Dong Zhuo, the helpless Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty issued ten holy decrees in a row to urge Ding Yuan to lead his troops into Beijing as soon as possible.

Luocheng, in a very luxurious mansion, Yang Yi and Li Rugong stood on the side, Dong Zhuo held a knife in his armor, and planned to lead the army to conquer Ding Yuan's army that was marching towards the court, and had just controlled the capital to annex nearly 10,000 forbidden troops, and Dong Zhuo, who was invincible, did not take Ding Yuan in his eyes at all.

"Dong Gong can't!" Yang Yi stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Ding Yuan's army is strong, and his soldiers are all tigers and wolves, plus his righteous son Captain Lu Fengxian bravely crowned the three armies, and his subordinates Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others are by no means easy to match. ”

Yang Yi knew very well that the complacent Dong Zhuo would never listen to his advice, although he hoped that the two armies would lose both, but now he thought that he was a snake, and he must persuade when he should be persuaded.

"Lord Gongsun is reasonable, although the forbidden army is numerous, but it is difficult to understand the will of the army just after it has been annexed, and the state army is known as a murderer, and its combat effectiveness is very strong, although I don't know how strong Lu Bu and others are, I am afraid that if they fight in the field, it may be difficult to win."

Seeing Dong Zhuo's gloomy face, Li Ru cautiously suggested: "Dong Gong, the state army is strong, it is better to avoid its edge for the time being, and order the forbidden army to strictly guard the gate of Luodu, even if Ding Yuan has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to attack and enter the city." ”

"I've made up my mind, you don't have to say much, just Ding Yuan'er, watch me take his head in a fight!" Dong Zhuo was displeased, he had not yet left the division, but Gongsun Yi and Li Ru were unanimously opposed, could it be that Ding Yuan was a wild beast, and in anger, he wanted to kill Ding Yuan on the battlefield even more.

***

In the eastern suburbs of Luoyang City, Ding Yuan led the Bingzhou Army and the palace forbidden army led by Dong Zhuo to set up a formation, standing against each other from afar, the strong wind came slowly, the battle flag continued to whistle and wave, the war drums were beating, and the soldiers on both sides clenched the blades in their hands, just waiting for an order to rush into the enemy formation.

Yang Yi, Li Ru and others rode on horses, looking at the formation of the Bingzhou army from a distance, although Yang Yi knew very well that Dong Zhuo was defeated by the Bingzhou army, but he didn't know how he was defeated, as for the book that Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu for a while, he rode his horse and fled in embarrassment, Yang Yi did not fully believe this account.

Although it is common for generals to fight in ancient times, it is true that it can greatly boost morale by killing enemy generals, but it cannot determine the situation of the entire battlefield.

What's more, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is possible to lose your life at every moment, so it is said that the number of generals in film and television dramas will kill the enemy generals, and then wave them casually, and the battlefield statement that can be determined is too child's play, and what determines the outcome of the battlefield is often strategy, tactics, troop strength and other elements.

Suddenly, in front of the two armies, one person from each rode forward, and Ding Yuan pulled the reins and waited for the war horse to stop.

Ding Yuanyang pointed at Dong Zhuo and reprimanded coldly: "Dong thief, you are just a foreign minister, you dare to try to abolish the emperor's heart, the wolf's ambition is obvious, and the world will punish it, I, Ding Yuan, have been ordered to exterminate the rebellious party, if you don't get off the horse and surrender quickly, you will be guaranteed a whole corpse!" ”

"Ding Yuan's children are too deceitful, Xu Rong, take the pioneer battalion to kill me, pass the order down, cut off Ding Yuan's head, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be a thousand gold!"

As soon as Dong Zhuo's voice fell, Xu Rong, who was immediately swordsman, stepped forward and led more than a thousand vanguard battalions to rush forward, Ding Yuan sneered again and again, and slowly rode back to the formation without eagerness, and with a wave of his hand, the group of combined state troops suddenly dispersed.

From the rear of the army, a team of seven or eight hundred people walked out quickly, these people moved in unison, nearly a thousand people were the same person, and the order was forbidden to spread out in an orderly manner before entering the formation.

These armorers are very special, they are all wearing heavy iron leaf leather armor, everyone is equipped with long and short knives on the left and right sides, the front row armor is equipped with short crossbows, and the back row armor is equipped with long bows, the armor and weapons are refined and neat, and the leading generals are extraordinary, standing like a rock in the array.

The strong military might intimidated everyone, and even the military horses of the headquarters of the Bingzhou Army seemed to be full of deep fear of this army.

Directly under the guard, about seven or eight hundred people, and in the state army, there is no doubt that there is only a famous camp in history, presumably the general who leads the army must be Gao Shun, Yang Yi secretly guessed, and couldn't help but stand up, looking at this famous elite and strong army.

Xu Rong was also secretly frightened when he looked at it, the powerful deterrent power exuded by this army in front of him was the first time he had encountered it in his career for many years, but the pioneer battalion led by Xu Rong was also a carefully selected elite, and he was not afraid if he fought head-on.

The vanguard battalion of the forbidden army held a sword and roared angrily and rushed to the trap camp military formation, but the trap camp on the opposite side was completely silent, and all the armor soldiers were like puppets, standing quietly in place, like Gao Shun standing in the military array, as if the entire trap camp was a rock buried in the ground.

The more he led the army closer to this strange army, the more frightened Xu Rong became, if it weren't for the confrontation between the two armies, he would have taken on the responsibility of being the vanguard at this time, Xu Rong would definitely order the withdrawal of the army, and test the power of this army with arrows.

A group of forbidden soldiers roared and rushed towards the camp formation, and the archers bent their bows and shot arrows into the sky, and suddenly a group of trapped camp armor soldiers raised their shields in their hands, and the arrows clanged and collided.

It's just that the heavy blade armor of the trapped camp armor can't be shot through at all, and a round of arrows falls, and only two people in the trapped camp fall, or they were shot at the key point by coincidence.

When a group of forbidden troops rushed to a distance of a hundred paces, just waiting for Gao Shun's flag to wave, a group of trapped camps suddenly moved, like precision machines, quickly forming a small phalanx of seven people, echoing the entire military formation.

The back row of trapped camp armor soldiers suddenly released arrows, the target was directly aimed at the middle of the forbidden army in front of the impact, and the arrows poured down, instantly knocking more than 100 people to the ground, and the arrows pierced through the vital points, splashing a rich blood line.

Many of the forbidden soldiers fell straight to the ground, pierced through their bodies, but the forbidden soldiers who were not yet dead rolled on the ground with a wail, and the tightly covered wounds continued to overflow with dark red blood.

The arrows that came from the strong impact slowed down the advance of the attacking rear forbidden army, and the forbidden army in the front row continued to attack, but they did not know that they had lost their support.

When the offensive of the rear army of the forbidden army slowed down, the armor soldiers in the front row of the trapped camp suddenly fired with short crossbows, and the forbidden troops who charged in front were like harvested ears of wheat, and they fell to the ground one after another.

The armor soldiers of the trapped camp, who were already ready to attack, armed with long and short knives, suddenly charged forward, and in the face of the forbidden army armor soldiers whose morale had fallen to a low point, they slashed fiercely, the long knives slashed, the swords collapsed, and the two armies rushed together.

Suddenly, a group of armor soldiers in the camp suddenly retreated, formed a battle formation again at a very fast speed, and quickly charged towards the chaotic forbidden army, repeatedly assembled, and charged again, so as to continuously kill and wound the enemy soldiers.

Soon, the front army of the forbidden army was slaughtered, and then the rear of the forbidden army who rushed forward saw a pile of corpses on the ground, and no longer had the fighting spirit, so they turned around and fled.

The trapped camp did not pursue, but suddenly the whole battalion assembled, and the longbowmen all shot arrows, and for a moment the arrows whistled down, and the fleeing forbidden troops fell to the ground one after another.

Gao Shun waved the flag, and the neat and uniform formation of the camp formed a battle formation and slowly retreated, leaving only the corpse of the forbidden army armor.

Everyone present looked at the miserable battlefield in a daze, this is not a battle, but a one-sided massacre, the pioneer battalion of the forbidden army has not rushed to the trapped camp, it has lost one-third, and then the trapped camp repeatedly assembled to form a battle formation and continuously rushed to kill, the heavy casualties are really appalling.

Looking at the trapped camp again, the fierce battle lasted for a long time, and there were no dozens of casualties, on the other hand, the vanguard battalion of the forbidden army, which is known as the elite, was killed by the trapped camp and abandoned its armor when the number was superior, and less than 300 people fled back, and they were panicked and had no strength to fight again.

Looking at the fierce combat effectiveness of the trapped camp, Yang Yi's heart was boiling, if a general like Gao Shun led the 7,000 or 70,000 trapped camp, I am afraid that the gods will block and kill the gods, and the Buddha will block and kill the Buddha.

Of course, this is just Yang Yi's thoughts, not to mention that a loyal person like Gao Shun would never betray Lu Bu, even if Gao Shun is under Yang Yi, not to mention how much baptism of war is needed to train such a skilled armor.

The heavy metal leather armor of these armorers alone is not easy to make, let alone make it on a large scale.

Moreover, the trapped camp is not without weaknesses, if it is in a favorable battlefield terrain, with the strong mobility of the first light horse of the Three Kingdoms, coupled with accurate cavalry, it is likely to become an opportunity to defeat the trapped camp.

It's just that these two elite troops will never have a chance to fight, and as for the outcome of the battle, Yang Yi guessed out of thin air.

It wasn't until Xu Rong covered his shoulder with the arrow wound on his shoulder and retreated back to the camp in embarrassment that Dong Zhuo reacted, the pioneer battalion was almost annihilated in less than half an hour, and the corpses were all over the ground.

Li Ru hurriedly patted his horse and stepped forward and said: "Dong Gong, the enemy army is strong, you can't compete with it at this time, it's better to withdraw the army slowly, the coming day will be long, and it will not be too late to fight again in the future!" ”

Just when Dong Zhuo hesitated, Ding Yuan suddenly ordered the whole army to assault, and suddenly rushed out of the Bingzhou army, a strong general, who wore a three-pronged purple and gold crown, a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, and a delicate lion belt around his waist, and rushed towards Dong Zhuo's army with a halberd.

Yang Yi didn't see it well, so he fled as soon as possible, and if he was accidentally killed in front of the battle, there was no place to reason.

A group of junior colonels and generals planned to step forward to stop them, but they were swept off their horses by the halberd and died just recently, and then the state army also covered up all the way, and Dong Zhuo's army was crushed and suffered heavy casualties.
