Chapter Seventy-Five: Frontal Defeat (I)
What surprised the wind thieves was that the white-robed young general of the Han army who killed the second master, he didn't stop them from collecting the body of the second master, nor did he care about the war horse that surrounded Zhao Yu's body.
He just picked up Zhao Yu's mountain axe with a bright silver gun, grabbed it in his hand, and directly urged the horse to slowly return to his family's camp.
Zhao Yun's actions surprised the wind thief cavalry who came to snatch the corpse of the second master, and what surprised them even more was that the Han soldiers were actually motionless, without the slightest idea of chasing them while they were lost, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
But what! At this time, they didn't think about it so much, they had to hurry back to the cottage to report the news.
The second boss died in battle, and they no longer had the morale to attack, and it can be said that they had been defeated.
They felt that it was the right way to do what the big boss said, and to withdraw from the storm village.
If they really went to attack the Han army's big array in order to avenge the second master, they would all die there.
"General Gongsun, you give the order to attack!"
"General Gongsun, if you don't pursue it again, those wind thieves will all run away. The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead his soldiers to pursue. ”
"The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead his soldiers to pursue."
Seeing Gongsun Xu's order to stand by, many generals rushed to Gongsun Xu's side and began to ask for his life, wanting to hunt down the Wind Thief.
Gongsun continued to look at the generals under his command who were puzzled and rushed to fight, and the corners of his mouth were like crescent moons.
Gongsun Xu knew very well in his heart that as soon as Zhao Yu of Hurricane Village died, the five hundred cavalry under his command would be chaotic, but Gongsun Xu didn't want to pick up such a bargain at this time.
Now that the morale of the army is high, he wants to fight a frontal defeat that convinces everyone, and he wants to use a frontal attack to defeat the Tempest Cottage and establish authority for these generals and soldiers under his command.
At this time, going out to chase those wind thieves really didn't have much nutrition in the eyes of Gongsun Xu.
The Tempest Thieves' cottage was not far from the place where they were fighting, and it didn't take long for these Tempest Thieves to rush to the gate of the Tempest Village, and even if they sent cavalry to chase them, they wouldn't be able to kill many Tempest Thieves.
Once the wind village is prepared, a rain of arrows will fall, and even he will lose some Han soldiers because of this.
These soldiers were extremely precious to Gongsun Xu, and he didn't want to throw his soldiers' lives on the side of Tempest Village at this time.
A frontal attack seems very dangerous and the casualties will be very high, but now that Gongsun Xu has a super killer weapon like a catapult in his hands, and more archers than most of the troops, he would rather defeat those wind thieves head-on than take too many risks to chase them down.
It's just that these things can't be talked about with these generals now.
With a solemn expression, he raised his hand to shoulder level and gestured down and said, "Generals, don't be impatient, when you attack, you will naturally not forget you. Tempest Village is just a bunch of thieves, so you can just listen to me when the time comes. Military orders are like mountains, as long as they are orders issued by the Chinese army, you must implement them well. ”
Yin Xiangjie looked at the cavalry rushing back, and his heart suddenly chuckled.
Although he stood at the high point of the cottage and looked out at the situation outside, he didn't see the specific situation clearly due to the distance, but saw that not long after his cavalry arrived at Gongsun Xu's side, he began to return quickly.
Could it be that there is something wrong with the second brother Zhao Yu?
Although Yin Xiangjie was full of confidence in Zhao Yu's bravery, but seeing the cavalry fleeing back quickly, he suddenly began to lose confidence in Zhao Yu, but he couldn't understand that Gongsun Zan and Meng Yi were both nesting in Xingcheng and couldn't get out, where could someone easily kill Zhao Yu.
Yin Xiangjie's eyebrows raised sharply, and he shouted loudly: "Open the gate of the village and let the brothers hurry up and enter." All on alert, return to their positions, bow and arrow, and wait for orders. The brothers, who had no task for the time being, began to clean up the items that were prone to fire near the gate of Dazhai Village, prepare water, and beware of rocket attacks by the Han army. After the gate was closed, pikemen and shield soldiers went up to the gate to prevent the enemy from breaking through the gate. ”
Yin Xiangjie began to arrange tasks in an orderly manner at this time, and began to let his bandits make these necessary preparations, and he was already prepared for the worst.
Hurricane Village has been in the middle of Xingcheng and Xiangping for many years, not only because of the good reputation of Hurricane Village, and the rangers joined it with horses and a large number of friends, but also because Yin Xiangjie is a general with great war experience.
Yin Xiangjie turned out to be a person from the Central Plains, and had reached the rank of captain in the Han army in his early years, but Yin Xiangjie did not follow, and after his daughter was plagued by the son of the general at that time, he reversed, and led more than 100 brothers under his command to kill the general's son, and then died in the world.
fled to a remote place on the side of Youzhou, and only then did he escape the general's pursuit.
It is precisely because Yin Xiangjie has such a background that Gongsun Zhan and Meng Yi will pity Yin Xiangjie and turn a blind eye to Yin Xiangjie's Storm Village, and do not carry out large-scale purges.
After listening to the account of the bandits who fled back to the camp, Yin Xiangjie gasped.
He didn't expect that there would be such a brave soldier in the team led by Gongsun Xu, who would be able to pick off Zhao Yu in one round, that is to say, if he went out to fight against that general, he should only be defeated, and now he can only hope that the Wind Village he has built for many years can withstand the footsteps of this army.
Yin Xiangjie stared intently at the Gongsun Xu troops who were slowly coming, and his face showed a very rare solemnity.
Yin Xiangjie can be regarded as having fought for half his life, and he can see at a glance that Gongsun Xu's troops are not an elite army, they should not have been polished into shape, and there are still many inconsistencies in the process of marching.
However, this team is moving forward slowly and rhythmically, without the slightest hectic situation.
If it weren't out of Yin Xiangjie's expectations, this army would definitely be a difficult team, especially the commander of this team, who should be a celebrity, otherwise, there would never be such a situation.
Gongsun Xu commanded his cavalry team to be distributed on two flanks, with shield soldiers at the forefront, three rows of archers at the back, and then the trebuchet he had just made.
Gongsun Xu's advance speed is very slow, he wants to grasp such a rhythm, and he wants to cause huge pressure on Yin Xiangjie's side.
The second is because he wants to put the trebuchet in front of him, and he can't go fast if he wants to, and he wants to create an illusion on Yin Xiangjie's side, they have to set up a formation in front of the cottage and prepare for a long-term attack, so that Yin Xiangjie will not dare to lead the cavalry into battle.
In this way, it will form the best situation that Gongsun Xu wants to defeat the Wind Village head-on.
