Chapter 240: Conception
In the face of such a huge loss, Yuan Jun did not want to bear it. For Du Chen, this is even more impossible. After all, he led the Cao army just to reinforce Yuan Shao, and he didn't want the soldiers of the Cao army to die for Yuan Shao.
After pacifying Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao would naturally move south. For the sake of a man who will soon become an enemy, he cannot let his soldiers die.
Yuan Jun naturally knew this, but if they could, they naturally hoped that Cao Jun could contribute. However, looking at the current form, Du Chen is absolutely unyielding, if he wants to concentrate his firepower to eliminate Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, he really has to count on the soldiers of the Yuan army.
"Another point, although Gongsun Zhan's cavalry is highly mobile, they have a fatal weakness. In order to improve the cavalry's strong mobility ability, the knight naturally had to reduce the load, so their defense could only be secondary. Du Chen glanced at the generals of the Yuan army and said.
Du Chen's words, the generals of the Yuan army naturally knew about it, but they didn't expect that if they used this weakness to deal with Gongsun Zhan's cavalry. You must know that Gongsun Zhan's cavalry came like a shadow and went like the wind, and it was somewhat unlikely that he wanted to inflict a fatal blow on him.
Seeing Yuan Jun's expressions, Du Chen knew what they were thinking. He smiled slightly, and then said to Yuan Shao: "The cavalry has strong mobility, but the defense is low, I don't know if I have considered having a strong crossbow or a strong attack to kill the cavalry." ”
"With elite crossbowmen forming a battle formation, shooting Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, and then backed by a powerful Chinese army, as long as the speed of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry is stifled, then Gongsun Zhan's cavalry is a moving target, let us hunt it." Du Chen said with a wit in his eyes.
Hearing Du Chen's words, Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly lit up. At this time, he regretted it very much, regretting why he didn't think of such a good way. It's not just Yuan Shao. Even the military generals under Yuan Shao's command showed a slightly ashamed expression.
Du Chen's words are not false at all, if the cavalry who hunted Gongsun Zhan with a strong crossbow, then they must be in a catastrophe. Because with the weak defense of the cavalry, they could not resist the shot of Yuan's strong crossbow.
Speaking of this, Du Chen suddenly had an idea. For the defense cavalry. The best is nothing less than a pike. Shoot with spears in the front section, and then shoot with strong crossbows and spears, and then Gongsun Zhan's cavalry can still escape the hunt.
Thinking of this, Du Chen showed an excited expression. And Yuan Shao caught Du Chen's expression, and then hurriedly asked, "What did Si Lang think of again, and he actually showed such an expression." ”
Du Chen looked at Yuan Shao, and then told Yuan Shao everything he had just thought. After Yuan Shao heard Du Chen's words, he immediately showed a puzzled expression. Will the pikes be able to limit the onslaught of the cavalry, if so. Why didn't the pikemen under his command bring huge losses to Gongsun Zhan?
Yuan Shao asked his doubts, but Du Chen smiled, he stared at Yuan Shao, and then said: "This spear array is not a simple pikeman, the spears used in the spear array must be specially made. ”
Hearing Du Chen's words, both Yuan Shao and Tian Feng and the others all showed a puzzled expression. They really wanted to know what kind of spear Du Chen's mouth was referring to.
"With the strength of one person, we naturally cannot resist the impact of the cavalry. But if you lengthen the spear, let it have a support point. So even if Gongsun Zhan's cavalry is strong, can they break through the earth? Du Chen's words were cold, and it was obvious that when he said this, Du Chen had already decided the fate of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
Hearing Du Chen's idea, Tian Feng and the others sighed secretly. No wonder Du Chen can win every battle, his whimsy. It's amazing. In previous battles, Tian Fengke had never heard of such a method of dealing with cavalry.
"Wonderful, really wonderful. The greater the impact of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, the heavier their casualties were. Feng really wants to open Silang's head and take a look at it to see what's inside. Why is there such a scheme that ordinary people can hardly imagine? Tian Feng said with emotion.
The more Tian Feng said this, the stronger his wariness of Du Chen became. Du Chen will be his enemy sooner or later, which makes the enemy really terrifying, after all, who knows what kind of conspiracy Du Chen will have to deal with Yuan Jun.
However, at this time, Tian Feng could only secretly guard against Du Chen in his heart, after all, this plan was what Du Chen thought, although he knew what Du Chen planned to do, but if Du Chen came, it would be the best and perfect.
In the following days, the Yuan army camp hung up the war-free card again, and Gongsun Chan laughed at Yuan Shao for this. He kept ordering people to shout and scold outside Yuan Jun's village, but Yuan Jun didn't pay attention to it at all.
Regarding Gongsun Zhan's scolding, Yuan Shao did sneer. The reason why the battle exemption card is hung high is to develop the spear in Du Chen's mouth, so as to eliminate the cavalry that Gongsun Chan relied on to survive.
At this time, what he needs is forbearance, and he has to wait until he completely annihilates Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, and then settle an account with Gongsun Zhan.
Wiped out Gongsun Chan's cavalry, Gongsun Chan was like a tiger with its teeth drawn, he could only let himself slaughter. So at this time, Yuan Shao was not in a hurry to be angry for a while, and wrote down all these hatreds, and sooner or later he would settle it with Gongsun Zhan.
After a few days of truce, Yuan Jun finally produced the spear that Du Chen wanted, although Du Chen was very dissatisfied with the performance of the spear, but he didn't care very much. After all, this battle was too hasty, and it was not easy to rush out.
After making all the spears he needed, Yuan Shao's mind began to move. Obviously, after having a secret weapon to deal with Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao's restless heart began to beat.
However, under Du Chen's dissuasion, Yuan Shao still canceled the decision to send troops immediately. After all, his side has been hanging up the battle exemption card for a long time, and if he uses a special battle formation to deal with Gongsun Chan today, Gongsun Chan will naturally be suspicious.
The strategy given by Du Chen is to show weakness first and let Gongsun Chan carelessly underestimate the enemy after lifting the war-free card. After Gongsun Zhan's extreme arrogance, he dealt a fatal blow to Gongsun Zhan. As the saying goes, the arrogant army will be defeated, Gongsun Zan has won so many times, even the Yuan army and Cao Jun can't help him, he will be proud.
Du Chen's idea was approved by the strategists of Yuan Shao's army, although the strategists under Yuan Shao's command were in civil strife, but in this case, even if they wanted to refute, they did not have the courage to refute at this time.
Under the expectation of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Jun finally withdrew the war-free card. In the following battles, Yuan's army was still constantly defeated. originally thought that the Yuan army was thinking about how to deal with itself during the armistice, but what puzzled Gongsun Zan was that after the withdrawal of the war-free card, the Yuan army's offensive did not grow in the slightest.
Under the powerful impact of his iron horse, Yuan Shao's soldiers could only let themselves be slashed. Of course, there is another point that makes Gongsun Chan very puzzled, that is, the war has been going on for so long, and he has not found out that Cao Jun's people have participated in the war.
However, in Gongsun Zhan's opinion, even if Cao Jun participated in the war, they were still not his opponents. With his own almost invincible iron horse, Gongsun Chan is not afraid of anyone, so at this time, Gongsun Chan's self-confidence is extremely strong.
If it weren't for the fact that there were not many steps under his command, and if it weren't for the fact that the defense of Yuan Shao's camp was too amazing, Gongsun Zan would have led the army to attack Yuan Shao's camp a long time ago. But even now it's not bad, after all, several battles were won by themselves, and they also consumed a lot of Yuan's army's vital strength.
And just when Gongsun Zhan was full of confidence, Yuan Jun was finally ready to make a move. A few days of defeat somewhat hit the momentum of Yuan's army, but the defeat of a few days also developed the proud mood of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
The next day, Yuan's army was fully armed, and even Cao's army was ready to fight Gongsun Zhan.
The atmosphere on the battlefield was very solemn, but Gongsun Chan did not have the slightest gap. However, what made Gongsun Chan concerned was that Cao Jun, who had been waiting for him for a long time, finally went to war.
In this regard, Gongsun Chan could only think that Yuan Jun had nothing to do, and now he could only invite Cao Jun out, otherwise it would be difficult to reverse the decline of Yuan Jun. He stepped forward, came to the front of the battle, carried the spear in his hand, pointed directly at the overall situation of Yuan Jun, and then shouted: "Why, can you Yuan Shao only be blessed under Cao Jun's care now?" If that's the case, Yuan Shao, you really make my Gongsun Chan look down on you! ”
Gongsun Zhan's voice was very loud, and his words also made Yuan Shao angry. Just as he was about to step forward, Du Chen suddenly grabbed Yuan Shao.
With a slight expression of anger and doubt, Yuan Shao looked at Du Chen, hoping that Du Chen could give him a reasonable explanation. This is Du Chen, if it were a different person who treated Yuan Shao like this, he might lose his temper.
Du Chen looked at Yuan Shao, then shook his head and said, "Don't be angry at the beginning, Gongsun Zhan is just a dying person, so why should he care about what he said." Now the more you show weakness at the beginning, the more rampant Gongsun Chan will become. And the more proud Gongsun Chan is, the shorter the time from his demise. ”
Hearing Du Chen's words, Yuan Shao pondered for a while. Subsequently, Yuan Shao felt that what Du Chen said was very true, he looked at Du Chen, put away the gloomy expression just now, showed a discordant smile and then said: "Hehe, what Si Lang said is good, why should Shao be angry with a dead man." ”
Gongsun Zhan scolded in front of Yuan Jun for a long time, but he didn't see Yuan Shao come forward for a long time. If it was in the past, he scolded Yuan Shao like this, he would naturally come out to reason with himself. And what's going on today, why didn't he dare to speak out. (To be continued......)
