Chapter 376: The Counterattack Is So Sharp (I)

There are no fools in the world, especially those in high positions, let alone fools. Most of the officials in this era are from big families, and they are probably the meat eaters that Cao Di said. In the Cao Di debate, he said, meat eaters despise! That is, meat eaters are short-sighted. Actually, this sentence is not true, to a certain extent, it can even be said to be a big fallacy!

The top strategists of the Three Kingdoms era, those who were in high positions, except for a few people like Guo Jia and other people who were from poor families, the rest were born in top families. Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Yingchuan Xunjia; Zhuge Liang, Langya Zhuge family; Cheng Yu, Dongjun Cheng family; Lu Su, Jiujiang Lu family; Zhou Yu, Jiujiang Zhoujia; Lu Xun, Wu County Lu family. And so on and so forth!

There is no doubt about their origins that they can receive a good education. Especially in that era when silk and bamboo slips were used as the carrier of learning, the family had the financial resources to inherit these learnings, and the poor family ...... Being alive is the most important thing for them to consider. As the old saying goes, the poor are rich and martial! But before paper became popular, this sentence seemed to be reversed!

Not to mention these top strategists, it is Yang Hong and Yan Xiang who Tian Fan has never put in his eyes, and their ability also gave Tian Fan a big surprise!

After they learned of the spread of the plague in Xuzhou, they set a series of strategies. The first step was to inform all the clans of Jiujiang and Lujiang of this news, so that their relationship with the Xuzhou army would break down, and from then on, the Xuzhou army could not get any help from them. The second step was to guide the direction of the rumors and shape Liu Bei into a god, Liu Bei had no choice but to follow the route they expected, prohibiting the sick soldiers in Tian Fan's camp from participating in any battles, and prohibiting them from moving around, so that Liu Bei could only face Yuan Shu's attack alone. The third step was to spread the news to Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jiangdong, so that Sun Ce and Cao Cao could see that there was a advantage to be taken advantage of, and the military action they might take would reduce the pressure on Yuan Shu. At the same time, letting the people of Xuzhou know the situation in Liu Bei's army made them dare not allow Liu Bei to return to Xuzhou and cut off Liu Bei's back road.

Tian Fan wasn't worried about these, what he was worried about was that Yuan Shu might have a fourth step of action!

When the three generals Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu led all the cavalry in the camp to set off, the sky was already bright. Fighting during the day is the right time for the Flying Feather Battalion.

Yuan Shu was very depressed!

The attack that lasted in the middle of the night caused him heavy losses, and 40,000 soldiers were killed, and more than 5,000 people died. The result was only the capture of Liu Bei's former village.

In his thoughts, the Xuzhou army should collapse at the touch of a button, and all he had to do was to hunt down Liu Bei and other leaders of the Xuzhou army, and completely extinguish the hope of the Xuzhou army rising again. In Yuan Shu's opinion, the Xuzhou army must have been very low in morale due to the plague, and this battle should be easy!

However, this is not the case! The Xuzhou army resisted very strongly, and they relied on the wall and the tent in the village to give Yuan Shujun a hard blow. Every time Yuan Shujun took a step forward, he had to pay the price of blood. Watching the only soldiers in his hands fall one by one, even Yuan Shu, a person who never cares about the life or death of the soldiers and the people, is a little unbearable!

Countless times, he wanted to give up this operation, but whenever he had this thought, the other party would always step back a little in time, so that he always had illusions in his heart. Once at a time, Yuan Shu's heartstrings tensed for a while, and relaxed for a while, and he felt that he already had some heart palpitations!

Finally, after the third drumming and the third attack, the front village of Liu Bei's camp was finally broken. In the eyes of Yuan Shu and others, without the protection of the wall, these soldiers of the Xuzhou Army are like girls stripped naked, even if they are reluctant, there is very little resistance they can do!

The facts once again shattered Yuan Shu's illusions, and although the resistance of the Xuzhou army was not too strong, it could not be regarded as no resistance. The feather arrows that flew out from time to time made the soldiers nervous, and they were always on guard.

Next to Liu Bei's big tent of the Chinese army, the tall banner with the word "Liu" is already in sight!

Suddenly, a passionate horn sounded from behind!

Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly widened! Horns? This is the unique way of ordering used by the soldiers in areas such as Liangyouzhou, how can it appear nearby?

Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Ling, Han Xian, and Yang Feng beside him, and their faces also turned pale! Lu Bu, it must be Lu Bu who is attacking!

Yuan Shu turned around suddenly, no longer caring about the battle that was about to attack Liu Bei's army, he pushed aside the soldiers and went out of the battle like crazy.

In order to facilitate the command of the battle and boost the morale of the soldiers, he had already abandoned the cart and rushed to the front position.

After a while, he finally came out of the formation, and the scene that appeared in front of him made him enter a petrified state in an instant!

Yang Feng and the three of them went through a lot of hardships and finally followed, and when they looked forward, they were dumbfounded!

I saw that in front, three cavalry were rushing here! The three-pole banner is written with "Zhao", "Zhang" and "Lu" respectively. The four of them just looked at it, and they knew that the three cavalry commanders in the Xuzhou army had all participated in the battle, which made their hearts fall to the bottom!

Finally, Ji Ling reacted first, and he shouted: "Formation, formation, formation!" ”

Yang Feng and Han Xian also reacted, and they shouted: "Hurry up, form a formation, form a formation!" ”

Yuan Shu's face was so white that after coming back to his senses, he gritted his teeth angrily and jumped to his feet and shouted: "Liu Bei, the erector ...... Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid that the plague will spread and you will become a sinner who will be spurned by the whole world? ”

Ji Ling grabbed him and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the time to pursue those things, please Your Majesty quickly avoid entering the formation!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Yuan Shu to avoid the position in the middle of the formation.

Of the 40,000 Yuan Shu soldiers, less than 20,000 actually participated in the battle, and the rest had been waiting in formation. In this way, as long as they adjust their formation slightly, it is enough to spread out the queue, and when they meet Lu Bu and the three, they will not be too passive.

In Liu Bei's camp, under the banner of the big tent commander of the Chinese army, Liu Bei stood there with a helmet and armor and a sword in both hands, like a pine. When he heard the long horn, he let out a sigh of relief. Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, he said in a low voice: "Boguang, Boguang, you said that you would find the best time to attack, hehe, this is the right time...... It's wonderful! Thinking about it, his eyes wandered a little, and he didn't know where he was.

When the bell rang at Ma Guan Luan, Liu Bei looked up and saw Guan Yu riding a claw yellow flying lightning, and his face was full of excitement. Five steps away from Liu Bei, Guan Yu pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse "Herod" neighed, the premise was cocked, and it was struck a few times like a drum, and then it landed heavily and snorted several times one after another.

Guan Yu stroked the horse's head with his big hand, and after comforting it for a while, he hugged his fist to Liu Bei and said, "Brother Qiyu, Boguang has sent troops!" Haha, that kid, it's a wonderful time! ”

Liu Bei saw that he cherished Huang Feidian so much, and couldn't help frowning his eyebrows slightly. He adjusted his mood, smiled, and said, "Yun Chang, the sound of the horn, I have heard it." Well, how much did our army lose? ”

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Big brother, the loss is not big, there are less than two thousand dead and wounded!" After that, he smiled and said, "Big brother, if it's okay, I'll go back and prepare to fight!" ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead!" ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he hugged his fists, pulled the horse's head and galloped away like a gust of wind.

Yuan Shujun, after a series of tense and complicated military orders, finally formed a formation, but the cavalry of Lu Bu and the three of them was less than three miles away!

The number of cavalry, not much, looks less than eight thousand. Their momentum is not as good as the Liangzhou Flying Bear Army, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, or the Youzhou White Horse Yicong that Yuan Shu has seen before. However, these cavalry probably have no problem dealing with their own infantry who have just finished eating and are in a hurry!

Yuan Shu has no confidence in the soldiers of his department, but Ji Ling is full of confidence! These soldiers are the elite of the army. They were originally elite, they have gone through several battles, after the Xuzhou army besieged Shouchun, they have experienced several difficult battles to defend the city, and the rest of the people are naturally elite. Their spirit is not inferior to any army in the world! Therefore, Ji Ling was full of confidence, he thought that it was difficult to defeat or completely annihilate the enemy cavalry, but it was not difficult to drive them away!

Ji Ling shouted: "Serve in the lull formation, pikemen prepare, crossbowmen prepare, archers prepare!" ”

Elite, there is elite momentum! After Ji Ling's order was conveyed, the soldiers agreed in unison, and the mountains and rivers were magnificent! Ji Ling nodded with satisfaction!

While Ji Ling was waiting for the enemy cavalry to attack, something strange happened!

Lu Bu and Zhang Fei's cavalry slowed down, turned a corner, and slowly advanced parallel to Yuan Shujun's large array. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, was advancing in the opposite direction, and his horse speed did not decrease, which was also parallel to Yuan Shujun's large array.

Ji Ling and the others were dumbfounded! What's going on? For a while, the tense atmosphere eased somewhat, and the soldiers exchanged heads and ears, and there was a buzz in the big array.

Yuan Shu was also dumbfounded, and he asked, "Ji Ling, what's the situation?" ”

Ji Ling was puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, the young general doesn't know!" Still, it shouldn't be a good thing! ”

Ji Ling's hunch was correct, and when Zhao Yun led people to gallop to the left side of Ji Ling's army array, he immediately turned his horse's head first, circled around, and walked parallel to Ji Ling's large array again.

The cold iron hooves of the war horse trampled on the ground, raising a thin burst of yellow smoke, except for Zhao Yun and dozens of guards who were at the front, the rest of the soldiers suddenly hid in the yellow smoke, hazy, and could only see the approximate figure.

Ji Ling and the others only knew that they were stupid, and they didn't notice at all that the nearly 3,000 knights of the Flying Feather Battalion led by Zhao Yun were running in a straight line that was less than two hundred steps away from Yuan Shujun's big array! This distance is beyond the reach of ordinary bows and arrows!

Zhao Yun saw that the time had come, and shouted: "Flying Feather Battalion, attack, free arrows!" ”

The flying feather knights responded in unison, letting go of the reins of their horses one by one, controlling the horses with only their legs, bows like a full moon, arrows like meteors, and thousands of feathered arrows flew fiercely into the sky with unparalleled momentum and whistling.

The density of feather arrows was too dense, and the soldiers on both sides could hear the sound of "beep and beep", which was made by the feather arrows colliding in the air.

Ji Ling's gaze became a little weird, at this distance, attacking with a bow and arrow, could it be that this general named Zhao Yun is crazy? In an instant, his face changed, and he exclaimed, "Riding and shooting? There are so many soldiers in Liu Bei's army who can ride and shoot? ”

Even if the opposing generals miscalculated the distance and the first wave of sword rain failed to hit their own soldiers, they could adjust later! Whereas...... A cavalry of up to 3,000 can all ride and shoot kung fu? How is this possible? Without five or seven or six years of training, how could the soldiers have mastered the kung fu of mounted archery? Could it be that the Xuzhou Army has been training cavalry archery since Tao Qian's time? Could it be that Liu Bei is a soldier from the grassland? ……

For a while, countless thoughts came out of Ji Ling's heart!
