Chapter 22: The Great War (1)
The earthquake trembled.
The earth shook suddenly.
The soldiers lay on the ground, their bodies shaking as if they were the earth, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
With a slight tremor, the ground shook more and more, as if countless large rocks had fallen from a cliff and slammed into the ground.
The sound of iron hooves stunned Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's subordinates, they didn't expect that at such a time, in such a situation, Gongsun Chan would attack, and it was quietly approaching their resting place.
Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's officers above the rank of captain jumped up quickly and shouted loudly to the soldiers around them: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, you guys, get up and prepare for battle." Nima's, hurry up, don't get up again, I don't know how to die later. Hurry up, or you'll be dead. ”
The officers above the rank of captain kept roaring at the soldiers around them, most of them had been promoted from meritorious service on the battlefield, and they knew very well in their hearts that if they could not arrange the array at this time, then what awaited them would be death.
Cavalry, Gongsun Zhan's side should be chasing over at this time should be cavalry, once they can't intercept them for a short time, once their speed comes up, they will all have to die.
Under normal circumstances, a hundred cavalry would be able to defeat more than a few hundred infantry, if not more.
But what! Now on the mountain road, as long as they can block the first wave of attacks of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry and arrange the large array of defensive cavalry, then they can still have a slight chance of survival.
If they don't react quickly, they're all going to die here.
Most of the executions of the rebels in the Han Dynasty were beheading, horizontal and vertical were also death, as long as they could make an effective low-grade, then they would mobilize their morale and fight to the death with Gongsun Zhan's army.
Their soldiers were tired, and the cavalry on Gongsun Zhan's side was not much better, and they fought more than ten battles large and small, and they had a deep understanding of the existing strength of both sides.
They are tired, and the soldiers on Gongsun Zhan's side will also be tired.
In such a kind of weather, no one can withstand the invasion of high temperatures, and now the comparison is the will of the soldiers on both sides and the will of the commanders, once one side collapses, then it is a total loss.
"Kill!" With a wave of his big hand, Gongsun Zhan led the white horse to righteousness, and took the lead in rushing towards the rear army of the mixed team of Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, who were in a panic.
The cavalry behind Gongsun Chan saw that the main general rushed into the enemy group first, they quickly raised their weapons in their hands, followed behind Gongsun Chan with red eyes, and rushed inside.
Their eyes showed bloodthirsty fanaticism, and the battle made them all red-eyed, as one of the few elite cavalry in the Han Dynasty, the failure to capture the enemy general repeatedly and repeatedly had already made them angry.
It was because of the rebels such as Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun that they carried out long-distance raids, and even experienced resentment again and again.
In their eyes, they are the most elite troops in the entire Youzhou region, and they should be the Baisheng army, and they should definitely not be afraid of the thousands of military horses of Shangqiu Liju and Zhang Chun.
Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun couldn't imagine that Gongsun Zhan actually descended from heaven and appeared in such an impossible situation.
They are tired, and Gongsun Chan is a human being like them, and should be just as tired. In such a ghost weather, under such a terrain, they really couldn't imagine that Gongsun Zhan, a damn guy, would be able to launch such a swift and fierce attack.
"Formation, formation. The herald immediately waved the command flag and arranged a defensive formation. Let them quickly set up their defensive formations. ”
Qiu Liju shouted hysterically as he called to the heralds around him to pass on the orders.
What Qiu Liju hopes most now is that his soldiers can move, and they can quickly form a defensive formation against the cavalry according to his orders, at this time, it is a matter of life and death, if they really let Gongsun Zhan's cavalry rush in quickly, then they will definitely die.
The sharp tip of the spear broke through one bloody hole after another in the bodies of those untidy soldiers, and the sound of screams came and went, and for a while, the entire battlefield was like hell on earth.
Many of the soldiers under Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju had round eyes, their desperate eyes flashing with puzzlement, and they stood in place in a daze, waiting for death to come.
At this time, the battlefield was no longer a confrontation between the two armies, but a unilateral slaughter by Gongsun Zhan's cavalry troops.
The troops of Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun were unable to organize effective resistance at all, and could only watch as Gongsun Zhan's cavalry troops divided their ranks into countless small pieces and launched a bloody massacre against them.
"The soldiers of the guard battalion gathered and formed a triangular formation to protect the Chinese army. The soldiers of the Wuyan tribe stepped forward, and they must not let Gongsun Zhan's troops rush into the Zhongjun area before the formation of the soldiers of the guard camp was completed. Qiu Liju looked at the battlefield that had become a mess and began to shout loudly.
Qiu Liju's guard camp was the most powerful force that his subordinates could take out at this time, and he knew in his heart that whether he could escape from Gongsun Zhan's iron hooves this time depended on whether the guard camp could create more time for him.
Qiu Liju saw that their soldiers did not assemble as quickly as he thought, and did not quickly form a defensive formation, only his guard camp was still competitive, and achieved his requirements in the shortest possible time, his heart suddenly cooled in half.
No matter how fierce and elite Gongsun Zhan's cavalry is, as long as it is inferior to Qiu Liju in terms of numbers, they use this kind of defensive formation, Gongsun Chan has absolutely no good way.
On the way of escaping, Qiu Liju has always chosen to take such a mountain road terrain, and only this kind of terrain will have some restrictions on Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
However, now the soldiers under his command have no fighting spirit, they don't even have the idea of resisting, and even many soldiers don't even bother to stand up, they just lie on the ground and shout loudly to surrender.
Whether it is Qiu Liju or Zhang Chun, their own abilities are not weak, but unfortunately, what they met was Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Chan was bent on killing the two of them to make a monstrous achievement, and no merit could be faster than killing the two leaders of the rebellion and exterminating the rebel team.
As long as Gongsun Chan can kill Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju and suppress this huge rebellion, then his gains will be great.
Youzhou Liu Yan was transferred, and the new one was Liu Yu, who was not interested in this Liu Yu Gongsun Zhan, and felt that he and Liu Yu should not be all the way, let alone go together.
He wants to use his merits to lay the foundation for his future glory, rather than waiting for others to improve.
If Gongsun Chan's teacher Lu Zhi hadn't gone into the wilderness, Gongsun Chan would still have a lot of opportunities.
However, Lu Zhi has been far away from the central department of the imperial court, and there is no backer in the court, even if he wants to keep his current position, it is very difficult, so Gongsun Chan is fighting harder than anyone else at this time.
Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, Gongsun Zhan, had already regarded them as stepping stones to promotion, and he definitely didn't want the two of them to escape from his hands.
