Chapter 333: The Battle of Jizhou (13) 4/6

Xiuxian is a ruined scene.

Although Liu Chuang had tried his best to restrain him, the city still collapsed.

Fortunately, the next day, Zhang He led his troops from the river, and the situation quickly stabilized. But the consequences have been caused, and Liu Chuang is also quite helpless.

He didn't want to go to the army, but he had to.

Looking at the ruined city and the residents with dull eyes, Liu Chuang could only let out a faint sigh.

"The lord doesn't have to worry too much, this kind of thing is not something that can be controlled by manpower.

The sons and daughters have been running for a hundred and twenty miles on a snowy night, and if there is no stimulation, how can they fight bravely? Speaking of which, the lord was merciful enough to give them grain and grass to compensate them. Thinking about the Taiping Road Rebellion back then, the place where the Yellow Turban thieves passed was like locusts crossing the border, leaving no grass. I still remember that at that time, there were corpses all over Jizhou, and the people were displaced, which was a hundred times more miserable than the scene in front of me. ”

Liu Chuang listened to Zhang He's persuasion, forced a laugh, and did not speak.

He knew that this kind of thing was inevitable.

But when it really happened to him, he still felt a little uncomfortable......

It's still too soft-hearted!

thought that he had adapted to this era, but in the end, he found that the memories of his previous life were still affecting him all the time.

Closing his eyes, Liu Chuang took a deep breath.

"Cao Cāo, what's the reaction?"

"According to the investigation of the detectives, Xu Yu ordered Wen Chou to stick to Dongwu and sent someone to Cao Cāo for help."

Liu Chuangwen frowned when he heard this, "If Wen Chou sticks to Dongwu City and wants to seize the boundary bridge, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome." ”

Jieqiao, located on the Qingshui River.

According to Liu Chuang's original plan, after he captured the Nether Bridge, he could directly threaten Guangzong and attack Cao Cāo's flank. At that time, Cao Cāo will inevitably divide his troops to attack the enemy, and Liu Chuang will be able to hold back Cao Cāo's troops and horses at that time, so that Cao Cāo will not be able to attack Handan with all his strength and relieve Yuan Shang's pressure.

Back then, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought here.

Now, Liu Chuang hopes to use the boundary bridge to drag Cao Cāo so that Xun Chen can deploy calmly.

Therefore, this boundary bridge is also very important. If you can't take the boundary bridge, this southward journey will not be able to achieve the desired result, and it will be considered a failure.

But now, Xu You didn't plan to counterattack Xiuxian, but stuck to Dongwu City, which gave Liu Chuang a headache.

"The lord is worried that Wen Chou will stick to Tobu?"

Zhang He saw Liu Chuang's worries and couldn't help but ask.

Liu Chuang nodded and was silent.

And Zhang He said with a smile: "Although Xu Ziyuan ordered Wen Chou to stick to Dongwu, in my opinion, that Wen Chou may not obey Xu Yu's orders. ”

"Oh?"

"Wen ugly this person, vulgar and arrogant, unruly and untamable.

If Cao Cāo gave an order, he might still obey it, but if it was just an order, I am afraid he might not agree. Na Wenchou and Yan Liang have a good relationship, although they are not married to Jin Lan, they are like brothers. This person is irritable, brave and unscrupulous. If he learned the news of Yan Liang's death in battle, he would definitely come to avenge Yan Liang regardless of his anger. Although Cao Cāo ordered Xu Yu to control Wen Chou, the problem was that both of them were demoted generals.

Wen Chou's rough xìng feelings, how could he accept Xu Yu's dispatch?

If there were other things, he might have listened to them...... But if it was Yan Liang's matter, even if Xu You went to Dongwu in person, he would not want to stop Wen Chou. ”

"That is to say......"

Liu Chuang's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhang He.

Zhang He bowed and saluted, "The last general has won the grace of the lord to save his life, and he has been valued by the lord many times since he put into service, but he has not made an inch of success so far."

Today, Wen Chou came, and the last general dared to ask for battle, took the head of the Wen Chou, and offered it to the lord. ”

"Junyi, Wen Chou is brave, don't be careless."

Without waiting for Liu Chuang to speak, Lu Xun on the side said first.

When Zhang He heard this, he sneered, "Bo Yanxiu wants to provoke me, if you talk about bravery, I am not as good as Wen Chou."

But if you talk about marching and arranging, I am not afraid of ten ugliness.

Rest assured, the last general will not let Na Wen Chou leave alive......"

Liu Chuang laughed at the moment, "If that Wen Chou really comes to die, I will ask Jun Yi to eradicate it on my behalf." ”

Before the words fell, Li Yifeng led a scout and hurried to the city.

"Lord Qiqi, Fang inquired about the news, Wen Chou led five thousand troops from Dongwu City and is coming to Xiuxian."

Really said Cao cāo, Cao cāo arrived......

When Liu Chuang heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Wen Chou is here, Qinghe will definitely fall into my hands."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Xun. Lu Xun hurriedly bowed down and said: "Please rest assured, Xun has already made arrangements, and within three rì, the lord will watch the scenery on Tobu City." ”

"In this way, I will wait for the good news."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Wen Chou learned the news that Yan Liang was killed, he brought troops to come without saying a word.

From Tobu to Shuxian, it is about 300 miles. Wen Chou led 3,000 infantry troops, and 2,000 cavalry troops rushed straight to Xiuwu, and the momentum was violent.

He's unruly, but he's not a fool.

Yan Liang died in the hands of Liu Chuang, which shows that Liu Chuang is indeed not an idle person.

Therefore, Wen Chou marched extremely carefully, 3,000 soldiers and horses marched side by side, and 2,000 cavalry troops were divided into left and right, and they were forced towards Xiuwu.

Seeing that it was only thirty or forty miles away from Xiuwu County, I suddenly heard a report from the Malay River ahead, saying that there was a Han army blocking the way.

When Wen Chou heard this, he immediately became interested.

This gang of Han soldiers didn't plan to defend the city, but actually came to fight with themselves in the field?

So, he led his troops to the front of the two armies, and when he saw the opponent's men and horses clearly, he couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that the Han army that stopped the march of his army was no more than a thousand.

Moreover, Qing Yisè's foot soldiers, at the forefront, are two rows of shield soldiers.

I'm afraid that the shield soldiers are only 400 people, and the rest are crossbowmen. How could such a small number of soldiers resist his charge?

However, Wen Chou recognized the chief general of the Han army who led the army, and it turned out to be Zhang He and Zhang Junyi, who were in the same column as him in the four courts of Hebei.

Wen Chou immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Junyi, do you have to stop me from going way?" ”

"General Wen Chou, don't come unharmed."

Zhang He bowed in front of the battle, and his face looked extraordinarily calm.

"With your soldiers and horses, how can you be my opponent?

I have come today to avenge my brother...... For the sake of the love between you and me back then, Jun Yi quickly retreated, otherwise he would not blame me for being ruthless. ”

"What did the general say about this?

The two armies fought, the swords and guns had no eyes, and it is not surprising that General Yan Liang's skills were not as good as others and died at the hands of my lord.

Today, the lord of my family came to rebel with the edict of the Son of Heaven, and even avenged the general. Do you think how kind the general was to the general, why did he help the general to abuse and invade my city? ”

When Wen Chou heard this, he immediately became angry.

"Zhang He, Xiao'er!" He scolded, "What are you to dare to be so rude to me?"

I am now working for Cao Gong, and I am serving the Son of Heaven to crusade against the unsubordinate. Uncle Liu Huang, the son of your family, is just a thief in a country, and he harmed my brother's life, how can I spare him. ”

Zhang He was not angry, only shook his head and smiled.

That being the case, there is no need to go into details.

Now you and I are our own masters, and now I am ordered to stop you from marching, and if you want to go to cultivate martial arts, let the horse come. ”

Wen Chou was really angry this time.

"If you want to die, I will fulfill you!"

Just before his words fell, Zhang He had turned his horse's head and returned to his own formation.

With the rumbling of war drums, the hundreds of soldiers pressed towards Wen Chou...... Wen Chou sneered, raised his big sword and slashed in the void, and shouted: "Pass my order, the cavalry will attack." ”

The cavalry troops on both sides received the order and immediately launched a charge against the Han army.

But seeing that the Han army was not in a hurry, under the command of Zhang He, the shield soldiers took a few steps forward and suddenly raised a large shield.

At the same time, Zhang He raised his spear and shouted: "Archer, three consecutive shè!" ”

The archers at the forefront immediately opened their bows and released their arrows.

Two hundred strong bows were all in unison, and the target was the galloping cavalry. Only a buzzing sound was heard, and a sharp arrow rose into the sky, whistling and flying towards the cavalry. When the platoon of archers finished, they immediately stepped back. The second row of archers immediately stepped forward and shuffled out a volley of arrows again. The archers in the third row stepped forward and immediately retreated, while the archers in the first row returned to the front row, already wound their arrows.

Three rows, 600 archers took turns to cast shè, arrows raining down.

Most importantly, these archers and shield bearers worked well together, shèring arrows and retreating at the same time, always maintaining a distance from Cao's army.

Even if some cavalry in Cao's army rushed to the front of the formation, they were blocked by the shield hand and turned into targets.

When Wen Chou saw this scene, he only felt a little familiar.

He suddenly had a spirit, and the scene in front of him was not exactly the trick that Koi Yi used to go to the camp to deal with Gongsun Zan and Baima Yicong back then? By the way, this Zhang He once served as Liyi's deputy in the Xiandeng camp, and after Liyi's death, he was ordered by Yuan Shao to rebuild the Euphorbia and bring the Xiandeng battalion soldiers under his command.

Wen Chou also participated in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge back then, and even saw with his own eyes how Koji Yi ascended with 800 and defeated Gongsun Zhan's 30,000 soldiers and horses.

In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little chilled.

He suddenly realized that if Zhang He dared to stop here, there must be an ambush.

It's not good, it's a trick!

Wen Chou's heart was agitated, and he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

Cao Jun was charging bravely, who knew that Wen Chou was going to withdraw his troops suddenly, and he was a little confused for a while.

Seeing this situation, Zhang He still doesn't understand Wen Chou's thoughts...... This guy is scared! People say that Wen Chou is brave and brave, but in fact, this guy's courage is not very big. Therefore, Zhang He deliberately used the trick that Lu Yi first went to the camp to deal with Gongsun Zan to deal with Wen Chou, and this is the effect. Seeing that Wen Chou wanted to retreat, Zhang He immediately ordered the whole army to attack.

With the sound of rumbling war drums, the Han army, which had long been ambushed on both sides, killed at the same time.

When Wen Chou saw this situation, he was even more flustered.

He was not good at commanding soldiers and horses, and he didn't have the talent to adapt to changes. Otherwise, during the Battle of Yanjin, he would not have been easily captured by Cao Cāo. Now, Wen Chou is in a state of panic in the battle of Yanjin that year. To tell the truth, although Zhang He ambushed troops everywhere, he actually did not have an advantage in troops. Wen Chou still has 3,000 foot soldiers in his hands, and the formation is extremely stable.

If he plays steadily, even if he can't win, he won't lose miserably.

But now that the soldiers are not in a mess, Wen Chou has panicked and hurriedly ordered a retreat, which also makes the Cao army's formation chaotic...... (To be continued.) )
