Chapter 268: Heroes Gather

The speed of Wang Yu's counterattack was a little later than he expected.

The position of the Taishan Army before the war was the middle of the left wing of the Youzhou Army, and it was not something that could be walked. If you leave rashly without greeting, and do not obey the order, you will hurt the two families and have a small matter; Disrupting the formation and revealing flaws that can be exploited by the enemy is the most lethal.

And the commander-in-chief on the left is not Tian Kai, who is good friends with Wang Yu, but Gongsun Fan, who met for the first time.

This entry has no scheming, much easier to get along with than Yan Gang and Shan Jing, but at the same time, he does not have the ability to be flexible. Before getting the order of the Chinese army, he refused to let go of anything, but he had to fight according to the previous order issued by the Chinese army, which made Wang Yu really struggle to convince this elm head.

Until the moment before the counterattack began, Wang Yu was still shaking his head and sighing.

Although the Youzhou army is strong, there are too few talents. At present, within the Youzhou Army, the meritorious generals are already old, and they attach more importance to preserving their own territory and strength, and they also use the old-fashioned concept in terms of development.

However, the younger generation of talents is not accepted. Gongsun Yue was a good one, but he died in Yuzhou, which had nothing to do with the overall situation.

The method of slowly promoting from the grassroots level is more suitable for use in peaceful years, which is not only convenient for identifying the ability to recruit talents, but also convenient for the old recruits to suppress the new recruits and maintain order within the army. In today's troubled times, it is the king to recognize the talent and reuse it directly.

In the Three Kingdoms era in the previous life, Cao Cao did the best in this regard; Liu Bei used it, and it gradually matured in the later period; And the strategy of Eastern Wu, after Sun Ce's death, is basically no different from Yuan Shao, focusing on power and balance, and paying more attention to local celebrities and heroes, so Tai Shi Cicai has not been able to come out.

Of course, now the strongest is yourself. Even if it is not perfect, but with the ability of foresight, I have taken a lot of lead in the mining of talents, and this advantage is still expanding.

However, no matter how advantageous you are, you have to pass the current level. If the Youzhou army loses too badly in this battle, it is likely to lose the power to threaten Jizhou. With Yuan Shao's jealousy of himself, Jizhou may not chase after Gongsun Zan as it did in history, and it is very likely to turn to Qingzhou!

Therefore, the goal now is to try to maintain the battle situation, and at the same time protect the Youzhou army, and hit the Jizhou army to the greatest extent.

At present, Wang Yu's goal is Yan Liangwen's light cavalry, and ensuring the safety of the Chinese army is the first priority. As for how to reverse the situation in the future, he only has a vague concept for the time being, and whether it will succeed or not is still between the two.

If the prophet's information is correct, there is a great hope of success, if not...... Well, it shouldn't be wrong, Wang Yu glanced sideways, and the young general in the white horse and silver robe looked back solemnly, in order to express his fearlessness to Wang Yu.

It shouldn't be wrong to be so calm on the battlefield for the first time.

"Uh......h Whining...... Whining! On the other side, the horn sounded sharply, and the yellow horse followed closely by Wang Yu's side, fighting quickly, Tai Shici temporarily served as the trumpeter, and was urging the brothers to form a formation with the horn.

Leaving the big formation, the formation of Taishan's light cavalry was relatively loose, and in the process of running, relying on the guidance of the veterans of Youzhou, everyone naturally formed a wedge. Wang Yu is the front, Tai Shici is the left blade, and the right blade is the newcomer Zhao Yun, not the veteran Qin Feng.

As for Wang Yu's arrangement, the brothers were a little strange, but they did not question it. Zhao Yun's own martial arts are obvious to everyone, and Wang Yu's attention to him is beyond doubt, and Qin Feng, who is full of grief and indignation, is indeed more suitable for command and dispatch within the battle array, rather than rushing to the front.

It's not about his martial arts, it's about being in the middle of the formation, helping him regain his composure, and in the forward position, I'm afraid he'll soon be lost in blood and carnage, unable to extricate himself.

Wang Yu's actions were as fast as he could, but he was still one step slower.

He reinforced the central army from the left flank, and he had to make an arc; However, Yan and Wen's light cavalry rushed straight to the Chinese army with the momentum of a big victory, and the latter had the advantage in terms of speed and distance.

There were only one or two hundred of the righteous who had fled back from the front line, and although they were not affected by the defeat, they were regrouping and preparing to fight to the death. However, putting aside the factors of new defeats, the huge disadvantage in numbers cannot be easily compensated.

And the reinforcements on both wings are either still on the road like Wang Yu, or some scattered rangers, the former is beyond the reach of the whip, and the latter is a drop in the bucket.

Seeing that Gongsun Zhan's Chinese army was about to be overwhelmed by the Jizhou Iron Cavalry, at the last moment, a group of foot soldiers left the battle and met them.

The banner they are waving is exactly 'Pingyuan' and 'Liu'.

"It's Liu Xuande!" Wang Yu was overjoyed, although Liu Bei was his rival for a long time, but now he is a united front, and he is the most reliable team among all the infantry of the Youzhou Army.

His original entry is a hero, and his subordinates are even more likely to enter the enemy like Zhang, and his soldiers are not recruits, but those bandits who have accumulated years in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, they should have some combat power, right?

"Lord, don't be too happy, he is at most a meat shield, and if he doesn't do anything, he will have to rely on us in the end." Hearing Wang Yu's joy, Tai Shici hurriedly poured cold water.

"It shouldn't be that inferior, right?" Wang Yu was not annoyed, but discussed it seriously with Tai Shici.

"How not?"

Tai Shi Ci had a horn on his chest, a heavy weapon in his hand, and a lot of bits and pieces behind him. He was wearing a black armor, but he was riding a yellow horse, and there were many fragments on his body, and the color did not match. Compared with Wang Yu, who is all dark on the horse, and Zhao Yun, who is a silver-robed and white horse, this guy looks like a rag-picking man, but this does not affect his extremely good self-feeling in the slightest.

He pursed his lips and said proudly: "I went to his barracks to see those bandits, just like when I was in Qingzhou." When taken out individually, they are all good hands, and when they get together, they are a group of rabble. Is it okay to fight a scramble and deal with light horses? Hey, he thought he was dying first

What kind of soldier can be trained by casual training? It's true, it's so true! ”

"This is ......" Wang Yu turned his head, tried his best to look ahead, and muttered: "It looks like the formation is not bad, and the phalanx is also similar......"

Liu Bei's phalanx is very dense, not so much a phalanx, but a fish scale array, very dense in the middle, Guan Zhang's banner and Liu Bei's banner gathered together.

On the two wings are thick spears and large shields, made up by bows and crossbows; There are fewer large shields in the middle lane and more spears. Obviously, Liu Bei planned to attract Jizhou light cavalry to assault the middle lane and compete with the other party.

If you can give full play to the power of Guanzhang, this tactic should be pretty good.

"It's useless, it's useless!" Tai Shici shook his head like a drum, which made Wang Yu suspicious, and he didn't know if this guy was communiquéing a personal vendetta, or if it was really something.

"His flanks are too thin, and he doesn't have a fierce general, so if it were me, I would divide the forward troops into two directions, attack his flanks, and after crushing the troops on both flanks, and then drive the defeated troops into battle. If his soldiers are really just a rabble as Brother Ziyi said, then this formation will soon collapse. ”

Facing such a big scene for the first time, to be honest, Zhao Yun was a little nervous. However, the vicious battle was imminent, but the two of them talked and laughed freely, and what's more, Tai Shici actually slandered Liu Bei on an empty stomach and complained, and Zhao Yun was unconsciously infected.

The nervousness was swept away, and the calmness returned to the body, as the judgment brought by attentiveness and intuition became clearer.

As if to annotate Zhao Yun's words, the forward of the Jizhou light cavalry was divided into two, and with huge kinetic energy, it frantically crashed into the two wings of the plain foot soldiers.

It's like a repetition of the previous battle.

The fierce fire of the bow and crossbow caused certain casualties to the Jizhou light cavalry, and the forward's entry into the back horse did not disturb the follow-up cavalry. Swept over a distance of dozens of paces like a whirlwind, the Jizhou cavalry jumped into the air, stepped into the formation, and the offensive was like a tide.

At this point, the tide of battle has changed.

The soldiers are all arrayed in front, and the arrangement of the Plains Army verifies this old saying. In the first two or three rounds, the plain infantry fought vigorously, but soon, as the soldiers in the front row were killed and wounded, the morale of the plain army collapsed instantly.

In front of the surging light horsemen, the routs erupted in cries and screams, and they dropped their weapons and fled desperately in all directions. Some of them fled backwards, which directly shook the morale of the Chinese army's foot soldiers; The others fled to both sides, and some of them rushed directly to their own Chinese army under the deliberate drive of the Jizhou light cavalry.

As if it had been accurately calculated, at this time, the main cavalry led by General Yan and Wen also arrived, forming a three-sided attack on Liu Bei's Chinese army!

"Guts rats, have the ability to come and fight to the death with your grandfather Zhang! What kind of skill is running around? ”

In order to cooperate with the infantry in battle, Zhang Fei did not ride a horse, thinking that with the spear formation trained in the past few months, he would block the speed of the enemy's advance, form a tug-of-war, and then replicate the brilliant record of the first camp. Who would have thought that the enemy would be cunning and cunning, and first broke down the two wings and gave his own house a three-sided attack.

The enemy troops in front of them did not engage in combat at all, but simply brandished their weapons and swept through their own military formations like a whirlwind. Including the defeated general under the sour jujube that day, no matter the general, they all used the tactics of dipping and leaving.

Zhang Fei made a move against Wen Chou, and then faced the next enemy horseman, and then two or three. With his astonishing martial arts, Zhang Fei smashed over five enemy horses with a snake spear, but how many enemy horses swept past him were five hundred? The enemy cavalry does not just rush over, but attacks.

Zhang Fei knew very well that if he hadn't stood side by side with his two elder brothers, the extra wounds on his body would never have been so few and so light in the process just now.

"Big brother, it's not a way to go on like this, it can't be stopped!" Compared with Zhang Fei, Guan Yu had a clearer and more thorough understanding of the battle situation, he did not roar loudly to invite battle like Zhang Fei, but reminded Liu Bei in a deep voice: "Wang Junhou's cavalry has arrived, our army has finally delayed the progress of the enemy's army, retreat!" ”

Now the goal of the Jizhou cavalry is not on their own eldest brother, but just to open up the road, otherwise, thousands of light cavalry will surround and kill in all directions, even if they and their third brother are brave, it is a great luck to be able to protect themselves, and where can they protect the eldest brother with ordinary martial arts? When the Taishan light cavalry and the Jizhou light cavalry fight, it will be even more dangerous, and it is only right to retreat and regroup as soon as possible.

Liu Bei's face was already very white, and at this moment, his face was as white as the newly produced paper in Qingzhou.

He knew that what Guan Yu said made sense, but he was unwilling! He has been brewing for a long time, and he is waiting to accumulate in this battle, and make a great achievement in front of Gongsun Zhan, blocking the sudden attack of Jizhou light cavalry, which is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, after accumulating momentum for so long, is it just to delay the speed of the Jizhou Army and help Wang Yu's shaft build the stage? This is really embarrassing!

His hand holding the sword was shaking, his body was trembling, even his heart was trembling.

"Yide, open the road ahead, a certain escort big brother, go, get out of here!" Guan Yu didn't know that Liu Bei had so many thoughts in his heart, he only thought that Liu Bei was annoyed because he had suffered a defeat, or he felt sorry for this team that was so easy to pull up.

The most important thing now is to save your life and train the soldiers, let's talk about it later.

"Grandma's, it's Wang Xiaothief again, Brother Zishan, what should I do?" Seeing that the Chinese army was less than a hundred steps away from Gongsun Zhan, it seemed that he could cut down the general flag with his outstretched hand, but Wang Yu's light cavalry was killed, and Wen Chou was shocked and angry.

"Gongsun Chan is here, he can't run, kill the thief first!" Yan Liang was much more decisive than Wen Chou, he swung his sword, pointed to the way, and the well-trained Jizhou light cavalry responded with a bang and turned resolutely.

"Bang!" In the flash of lightning, the two teams collided in one place without any chance.
