Chapter 371: The Battle of Youzhou (Part II)
"Kill!"
The footmen and crossbowmen all over the mountains attacked Yuan Shao's camp like a tide, and the heavy infantry in Liaodong fired thousands of arrows, specially using armor-piercing heavy arrows to inflict a lot of damage on Yuan Shao's army!
The Fire Arrow Team shoots a dazzling rain of fire, covering the wooden fence and the wooden arrow tower, nailed to the plank, and blazing! Black smoke billowed and choked, and crossbowmen on both sides could shoot the enemy even if they shot blankly, because there were so many troops on both sides engaged in the battle!
The battlefield of Youzhou has become a meat grinder, the sky is hazy, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are fighting one after another, and the sky is dark!
For Liaodong Taishou Mingguan, in recent years, there has only been one chance to occupy Youzhou!
If he misses this opportunity, he may not have the opportunity to enter Youzhou again!
Yuan Shao's army adopted Zhao Long's insistent tactics, relied on Jixian County, set up a camp, turned the field battle into a tough battle, and delayed the Ming Pass.
The fierce general Chang Yuchun dismounted, armed with a spear and a big shield, and led the Liaodong heavy infantry to attack Yuan Shao's camp!
The Liaodong heavy infantry is well-equipped, and at the same time is good at using compound bows and heavy arrows, and with the chariot that blocks the rain of arrows, it is extremely good at attacking fortifications!
"The first to board the dead, the euphorbia to stick to the middle camp!"
Ju Yi and Zhang He were ordered by Yuan Shao to sit in the middle camp, among which Ju Yi's first dead soldiers used Jizhou strong crossbows and fiercely shot at the heavy infantry led by Chang Yuchun. Sharp crossbow arrows whistled out, and one by one the Liaodong heavy infantry died under the strong crossbow! Stray arrows are splashing, and corpses are everywhere!
Chang Yuchun, under the cover of the chariot, led the Liaodong heavy infantry to advance. Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong Army, and Sun Chuanting led the Qin Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which were lined up on the left and right to cover.
Commander Chang Yuchun's cavalry had more powerful combat power, but in the face of Zhao Long's barrier tactics, he had to dismount and lead the heavy infantry to fight.
More than 60,000 infantry of the Liaodong Army threw themselves into a fierce attack, and the Liaodong cavalry was eyeing it, once the defenders came out of the camp to fight back, the Liaodong cavalry would step forward as soon as possible and destroy it.
Probably knowing the ferocity of the Liaodong Army, Yuan Shao's army chose to defend to the death.
"The other party's car is approaching quickly!"
"Where's the Fire Arrow?!"
"Euphorbia ready for battle!"
"Yan Liang and Wen Chou lead the heavy infantry to prepare for battle, and the enemy is coming!"
In Yuan Shao's camp, the cavalry who ordered the herald was quickly informing the whole army.
In the field, the player's communication system is unusable, and can only use primitive methods such as cavalry, war drums, horns, and flags to deliver military orders.
The carts of the Liaodong Army were very effective. The so-called cart, that is, a cart made of thick wooden planks covered with cowhide and iron sheets, can block most arrows, rockets and even falling rocks, and cover the foot soldiers and crossbowmen to approach the camp.
This time, using the limited time to fight for Youzhou, Mingguan made sufficient preparations, he brought a large number of chariots, covering the Liaodong heavy infantry, the Tianxiong army, and the Qin army at the end of the Ming Dynasty to attack Yuan Shao's camp, to eliminate Yuan Shao at any cost and seize Youzhou!
The chariot was shot into a hedgehog by the Jizhou crossbow, and even so, the chariot gradually approached Yuan Shao's camp. All the soldiers of Yuan Shao's legion, including Zhang He, Ju Yi, and Gao Ran, held their breath - behind the chariot were hidden groups of elite foot soldiers and crossbowmen!
"Take the camp!"
The fierce general Chang Yuchun gave an order, and took the lead in leading a team of elite soldiers to rush out from the rear of the chariot and rush straight to the camp of Yuan Shao's army!
Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting saw that Chang Yuchun was the first to attack, so they immediately ordered all the foot soldiers to kill from the rear of the chariot and cover Yuan Shao's camp with a strong crossbow!
Ju Yi's first death soldier and Zhang He's halberd soldier encountered the Tianxiong Army, which was also an elite soldier, and other foot soldiers shot, and large-scale casualties began to appear!
The Liaodong Army came prepared, not to be provoked!
"Take this opportunity to take the camp!"
Ming Guan saw that Chang Yuchun and other generals had already fought hand-to-hand with the opponent's halberd, so he urged the remaining foot soldiers and crossbowmen to rush up.
He also kept cavalry to guard against Zhao Long.
"Choi Jae-sun of Goryeo is about to unify Goryeo, and I only have one month. If I sit back and watch the reunification of the Goryeo Kingdom, although I am not afraid, it will be a problem after all. A month later, regardless of whether you can capture Youzhou or not, you must return to Liaodong. Otherwise, Choi Jae-sun, that guy will never die. ”
Myeongguan naturally has spies in Goryeo. On one side is the soon-to-be-unified Goryeo Kingdom, and on the other hand, there are few opportunities to compete for Youju. He had to give up one.
The lord of the southern part of Goryeo, Yi Min-cheol, was defeated too quickly, and Myeongguan originally judged that the confrontation between the north and south of Goryeo would last for several years, so he attacked Youju in a big way. But Lee Min Chul was defeated with a single blow under the offensive of Choi Jae-sun, the lord of the north.
A fierce general shot arrows one after another in Yuan Shao's army, and the arrows were not missed, thirty arrows, and thirty enemy soldiers were killed!
He saw that the arrows in the quiver were exhausted, so he abandoned his quiver, grabbed the quiver of a soldier, and shot the Liaodong army on the front line of the camp.
His strength was so great that even the heavily armored Liaodong heavy infantry could not resist his arrows!
"Hu Lu Mingyue is really an eagle shooter!"
Yuan Shao nervously commanded the army in front, and he couldn't help but praise Hu Lvguang's archery skills when he saw the fierce general Hu Luguang who he had obtained after returning from Mobei. Hu Lvguang, the word Mingyue, is the fierce general of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the army is well-governed, brave and strategic, the selection of famous generals in the past dynasties, this person has been selected, and he is above the king of Lanling.
Hu Luguang shot and killed the enemy one after another in the chaotic army, especially the officers of the Liaodong Army, causing heavy losses to the Liaodong Army. The battlefield shouted and killed, the halberd soldier held an iron halberd and the spear of the Liaodong heavy infantry assassinated, the shield and the iron armor collided, but it did not affect Hu Luguang's play at all, his troops held on to it, and I used a compound bow to aim at the number one general of Liaodong Taishou Mingguan - Chang Yuchun!
The compound bow was trembling violently, as if it was about to be unable to withstand the force of Hu Luguang.
If Chang Yuchun can be shot, the loss of Liaodong Taishou Mingguan will be unimaginable!
One is the three generals of the north and south of the north and the south, and the other is the second military general in the early Ming Dynasty, in the Youzhou battlefield, less than 100 meters apart!
Chang Yuchun seems to feel the danger and uses his shield to block the direction of the danger!
An armor-piercing arrow pierced through the cowhide shield, and a huge force pierced through!
After all, the cowhide shield affected the speed and accuracy of the armor-piercing arrows, Chang Yuchun dodged to one side, and the armor-piercing arrows interspersed less than a foot away from Chang Yuchun, and the arrows with a wisp of wind sank into the ground! The shaft of the arrow could not withstand the violent impact, and it broke at the moment when the arrow cluster sank into the ground!
"What a terrible archery!"
Chang Yuchun has rarely encountered such a strong enemy, all along, only Murong Xianbei's fierce general Murong Ba can give Chang Yuchun a little pressure, this is the first time to encounter such a terrifying marksman!
Hu Luguang saw that he couldn't shoot Chang Yuchun with one arrow, so he immediately shot a second arrow! Arrows are like meteors, shoot and kill a personal soldier around Chang Yuchun!
Chang Yuchun is also a fierce general, when he was prepared, he did not have the embarrassment when he was sniped just now, but organized troops to attack Hu Luguang, wanting to kill Hu Luguang!
Hu Luguang wants to kill a general of Liaodong Taishou, and similarly, Chang Yuchun wants to kill a general under the command of Jizhou Mu to break the current deadlock!
"I'm here to help you!"
The king of Lanling, who was wearing a cloaked hair and a copper mask, came to kill, and often met spring with Hu Lvguang!
The relationship between the King of Lanling and Hu Luguang is intimate, and they cooperate with each other, and they can exert strong combat effectiveness!
The two sides fought fiercely, and in the face of such a dangerous situation, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Guo Tu, Xian Pei and other strategists did not continue to fight, and rarely cooperated with each other to assist Yuan Shao in mobilizing troops and sending generals to block the fierce attack of the Liaodong Army.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao had Hulu Mingyue and the king of Lanling, and there were fortifications in the camp, which was able to block Chang Yuchun's fierce attack. The rest of the soldiers and generals cooperated to resist Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng.
Mingguan looked at a fierce general who originally defected to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and was defeated by Cao Cao in Jinan State: "Aobai, you lead a team of heavy infantry to raid and assist Chang Yuchun to break through the enemy camp!" ”
The majestic Ao Bai replied, "Yes!" ”
Mingguan is still investing in a steady stream of other generals and troops, wanting to completely raze Yuan Shao's camp.
With generals such as Aobai, who were adept at commanding cavalry and heavy infantry, into battle, Yuan Shao's camp was in danger.
Yuan Shao's army struggled to support, black smoke everywhere, and heavy casualties.
"All the soldiers must persevere! Where is Zhao Long?! He won't betray me, will he?! ”
Although Yuan Shao was worried that Zhao Long would seize his power, if he was defeated by Ming Guan now, his power would most likely collapse, and it was no longer the time to worry about Zhao Long seizing power. At this time, winning is the most important thing!
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu said to Yuan Shao: "He will never abandon the lord. ”
"Zhao Long's cavalry has arrived!"
When Yuan Shao's army was in danger, Zhao Long, who was stationed in another camp, led his cavalry to arrive in time!
Han Baohu, Shi Wansui and other generals were Zhao Long's eagle dogs, leading the cavalry to drive straight into and attack the flank of Mingguan!
Mingguan dispatched Murong Ba, Li Chengliang, Zu Dashou and other generals to lead the cavalry to engage Zhao Long, and the two sides fought hard, affecting Mingguan's all-out attack on Yuan Shao!
"General Zhao Long's saving me is equal to fire and water!"
Yuan Shao's army saw it in his eyes, and he had a higher evaluation of Zhao Long, who supported Yuan Shao in time, and the soldiers that Zhao Long placed in Yuan Shao's army intended to create momentum for Zhao Long.
Yuan Shao was even more annoyed, he had already vaguely felt the change in the army's heart.
On the other side, Huma ordered Lian Po's army to serve as the main force and storm Liu Bei's camp, wanting to attack Liu Bei's camp as soon as possible and seize Youzhou.
Liu Bei fought with Huma outside the camp to form the first line of defense, with the camp as the second line of defense.
Lian Po commanded the heavy infantry to come forward to fight, but was blocked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the Turkic prince Ashina Sheer and Zhou Dewei's cavalry competed......
The two sides invested their own troops and horses, and Huma dealt with Liu Bei alone, and he couldn't get any benefits for the time being. But Liu Bei was also very uncomfortable, in order to lure Yuan Shao to share the pressure, the territory was only Zhuo County, once the soldiers and horses were consumed, they might be annexed by Yuan Shao in the future.
"Zhao Long's layout pushed us in front of Huma. Although our pressure has decreased, we are afraid that our few hundred thousand soldiers and horses will be killed and wounded. ”
Chen Xi deliberately involved Yuan Shao in the Youzhou War, but Zhao Long was not completely fooled. If Liu Bei wants to continue to have military power, he must at least block Huma's offensive so that Yuan Shao and Zhao Long can deal with Mingguan.
Liu Bei observed the situation: "Please rest assured, we can hold it." In the battle of Mobei, we got the famous general Wu Han, who can be in charge alone. ”
Chen Xi nodded.
Liu Bei has a lot of generals under his command, and in the battle of Mobei, Wu Han, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and several other generals, as well as a group of Youzhou generals, how can they also block the offensive from the Bingzhou army.
"According to the intelligence, Huma has famous generals Zhao Hao, Zhao Kuo and his son, and Wu Han can deal with them. It's just that it's hard to find out what generals Hu Ma got in the Battle of Mobei, it may be Zhao Kuo, or it may be someone else. If it is Zhao Kuo, then Huma is unlucky. ”
Chen Xi weighed the generals on both sides and thought that Liu Bei would not have a problem blocking Huma with the camp.
When Hu Ma unified and annexed the state, he obtained a number of historical generals from other dynasties, and Liu Bei also had a group. The two sides should be about the same.
Huma's Lian Po is more difficult to deal with.
However, Liu Bei is related to Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Lord, the big thing is not good, the Tianyu army is in a hurry! The Wu Han army is in a hurry! ”
Just when Liu Bei and Chen Xi, a pair of monarchs and ministers, thought that they could hold the camp, the two armies of Tian Yu and Wu Han were defeated!
"How is that possible!"
Liu Bei and Chen Xi looked at the Wu Han army almost at the same time.
"Lian Po has been delayed by the two generals Guan and Zhang, could it be that Zhao Hao's army broke the Wu Han army?!"
Chen Xi did not believe that Zhao Hao, who was Zhao Kuo's father, could defeat Wu Han, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.
But the scene in front of them made Liu Bei and Chen Xi have to believe that the Wu Han army was being defeated.
"Order Wu Han and Tian Yu to return to the camp to defend it, the other party may not be able to break through our camp!"
"The rest of the generals will assist Wu Han and Tian Yu in guarding the camp!"
There are generals from other dynasties under Liu Bei's command, which can be used and may not fail!
Chen Xi seemed to have thought of something, he immediately opened the hero ranking, glanced at the hero ranking, and swept past the first group of commanders.
Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Lian Po, Le Yi, Chen Qingzhi, Zhou Yafu, Cao Cao, Meng Tian, Xie Xuan, Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang and a number of other commanders are on the list.
As a qualified military advisor, Chen Xi's strategy is no less than that of a first-class strategist, otherwise he would not have assisted Liu Bei in entering Youzhou.
For the heroes on the leaderboard, Chen Xi knows it well.
But at this time, there is a new emperor-level commander on the list, Li Mu, one of the four major generals of the Warring States!
"No!"
Chen Xi was put on the spot by Huma, and the recruitment order that Hu Ma got in Mobei was only used recently, and it was very likely that he got Li Mu!
The generals recruited in the Battle of Mobei have an initial level of 50, and Li Mu's attributes have tended to be at their peak!
"I didn't expect to win the bet, Zhao Kuo is just a wandering general I recruited after Mobei. Liu Bei, Chen Xi, you didn't expect it. ”
Hu Ma couldn't help but be proud when he saw that Li Mu's army defeated the Wu Han army and Zhao Hao's army defeated the Tian Yu army. The recruitment order of the Battle of Mobei may not be able to recruit an emperor-level commander, and Huma is just betting on luck.
Even if he loses, he has a way of losing. Bet wins, winner takes all!
