Chapter 343: Quick Victory (I)
The surprise attack of the Deer Chasing Army on the Peak Leader once again let the outside world see the strength of the Deer Chasing Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The combat power of the troops, the strength of the leading generals, and the amazing athletic ability, no one wants to touch such an existence.
Counting the Purple Wind Collar and the Tianxia Legion, the Dianjiang Iron Triangle is full of deterrence, and there should be no doubt about sweeping any town-level territory.
Unless you have a complete stone wall in place to keep enemies out of your territory, it will be difficult to find a territory that can compete with the Raider. The stone city wall can only be built with a city-level territory, and the only city-level territory in Yizhou is the Zhulu Territory, and at this stage, the relative combat power advantage of the Zhulu Army is very obvious.
When the Dianjiang Iron Triangle was rampant in extortion, the Yizhou officials and troops were also stepping up preparations.
The grain and grass raised from the rear were continuously sent to the front.
The new troops, which have completed their training, have arrived on the battlefield one after another.
The five buckets of rice Dao rushed to the front line.
Heavy ordnance is being delivered to the front.
There are more and more combat missions in the Imperial Faction, and the types of Faction Combat Missions have also changed from the original reconnaissance, harassment, and sabotage to a more pure combat direction, and players in the Imperial Faction have received more combat missions directly against the rebel NPC forces. A number of war zones near the south have released the task of "accepting multiple player forces to jointly attack a rebel stronghold" and began to accept player registration, which has never been done since the start of the camp mission in the Yizhou region.
Many players are aware that the Faction Missions are in the final stages of their work.
A large number of troops from the player forces of the imperial court camp have gathered at the southernmost point of Qianwei County, Jiangyang County, and Ba County, ready to participate in the final feast of this regional mission. Not to be outdone, the rebel camp gathered heavy troops in the north of Yueshan County, Zhuti County, and Qike County, and went toe-to-toe with the imperial camp, and the rebel camp also mobilized the player forces of its own camp to participate in the war, but compared with the imperial camp, the player forces of the rebel camp were significantly smaller.
This front is like a replica of the front line of confrontation between officers and soldiers and the rebels in the south before the rebellion was elevated.
Although the battle line is basically the same, the offensive and defensive posture has undergone obvious changes. In the past, the rebel army was strong and took an offensive against the northern official army, and the official army could only support the defensive line; And this time, the officers and troops are clearly stronger and occupy the initiative on the battlefield.
The big war is about to break out.
Jiangyang County, located between Qianwei County and Ba County.
Zhu Jun's camp is located here.
Zhu Jun was a veteran general of the imperial court, with outstanding military achievements and high qualifications, and became the commander of the official army without dispute.
In order to prepare for this big battle, Zhu Jun gathered all the generals together and raised the number of troops.
The last time Cao Cao successfully attacked Wuyang, the official army achieved a great victory, exterminated the Ma Xiang rebels, and the northern part of Yizhou returned to the hands of the imperial court.
Zhu Jun pressed the hilt of the sword with his left hand and strode in.
In the big tent, the generals hurriedly ended chatting and stood solemnly.
Zhu Jun is in his forties, not too tall, stocky and burly, with a wide forehead, deep eyes, and not angry but mighty.
"Three days later, we attacked on all fronts."
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the generals were taken aback.
Chun Yuqiong looked stunned and said, "So fast? ”
Cao Cao hesitated for a moment: "The generals of Qianwei and Ba County, it will take a day or two to go back from here, and the mobilization of troops will be very hasty." ”
Yuan Shao frowned: "In three days, it is not easy to replenish the grain, grass and armor. ”
Zhao Bu also looked embarrassed, hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the heavy ordnance will go south from Guanghan, and in three days, it will be sent to Jiangyang County and Qianwei County at most, and it is impossible to transport it to Ba County, can it be delayed for a few more days, and then send troops after the ordnance is ready?" ”
"We need to quickly put down the rebellion in Yizhou."
Zhu Jun's answer made everyone's hearts sink.
He was a veteran of the imperial court, experienced in a hundred battles, and was well versed in military affairs. Knowing that the time was too tight and the ordnance was difficult to arrive, he still insisted on launching an attack, which was inconsistent with Zhu Jun's previous combat style, and then thought of Zhu Jun's previous order to mobilize player forces to directly participate in the battle, and his desire to quickly suppress the rebels was very obvious. Everything says that there are reasons why this must be done.
"Liu Yizhou sent someone to send an official letter, and the official letter came from Luoyang."
Zhu Jun's expression was calm, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"The anti-thieves in Liangzhou are becoming more and more rampant, and they are gathering troops to try to advance eastward in a big way, Kou Sanfu, coveting Chang'an; A few days ago, the Xiongnu Yufuluo Department and the Baibo Yellow Turban jointly attacked Hedong. If these two bandit armies do not press as soon as possible and let them gain momentum, they will endanger Luoyang. ”
"Luoyang, where the Son of Heaven is, there is no room for error!"
"Not to mention being attacked by the rebels, even if they are allowed to get close to Luoyang, it is a shame for the Han Dynasty, and it is a shame for the generals!"
"Most of the imperial army is quelling the rebellion in various places, and Luoyang is short of troops, and the imperial court hopes that Yizhou will be pacified quickly so that we can withdraw in time."
The generals had nothing to say.
In recent years, natural and man-made disasters, frequent rebellions, and the Eastern Han Dynasty were in turmoil, and the central army was particularly busy, rushing to extinguish fires on all sides. Often just after calming down one place, there is fire coming out in another place, and the land of China is full of smoke.
Although Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army surrendered to the imperial court and was named the general of the Ping Yan Army, he was nominally a Han courtier, but in fact he was a warlord on one side, and often went to the nearby imperial court counties to fight the autumn wind, acting like a traitor.
The rebellion in Yizhou escalated, and the imperial court had to send troops to suppress it.
Under Zhu Jun's repeated statements, the imperial court did not want to lose the entire Yizhou, so it sent a second wave of reinforcements, and the new army of Xiyuan had just been formed, and it was sent out, which shows that Luoyang's current military emptiness is quite serious. A fire broke out in Hedong, endangering Luoyang, and the Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials were very nervous, and it was a matter of course to urge the officials and troops of Yizhou to quickly quell the rebellion and return to help.
There is one thing that Zhu Jun did not say.
He received not one, but five.
Five official documents, all urging him to quickly collect his troops and go back, the earliest official document was before the great victory.
The official document even vaguely stated that the Yizhou rebellion could be put aside first, and it was imperative to defend Luoyang.
Zhu Jun knew that the guys around the Son of Heaven who could only fight for power and profit were panicked one by one. He knew very well how important Yizhou was to the imperial court, and under pressure, he led the troops to continue to quell the rebellion, but the speed had to be accelerated, not to mention that now the imperial court camp had an advantage.
"The generals will obey!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "The end will be!" ”
"Three days later, the whole army will attack!"
"Yes!"
After the military meeting, the generals went back to make their final preparations.
Cao Cao is in the key for the county, for the Western Route Army; Zhu Jun and Chun Yu Qiong were in Jiangyang County and were the middle route army; Ba County is still Yuan Shao and Zhao Bu, which are the Eastern Army. Commander Zhu Jun's middle route army is the main force, gathering heavy troops, reorganizing the army every day, and shouting and killing shocking the sky.
In the face of the great threat of the Middle Route Army, the rebels did not dare to slack off.
When retreating from the northern part of Yizhou, the main force of the Yi army stopped on the line of Yueshan County, Zhuti County, and Qike County to prevent the officers and soldiers from driving straight into the army and burning the war to Yinan. The intention of the officers and troops to constantly dispatch troops and dispatch generals to quell the rebellion in Yizhou was very obvious, and the rebels did not dare to be careless, and a large number of people were mobilized and rushed to the front line. The largest number of rebels were assembled in Zhuti County, led by Huang Yi, the leader of the Zhuti rebels, and confronted the Middle Route Army led by Zhu Jun.
Three days later, the Great War broke out.
Early morning.
The officers and soldiers of the Third Route buried the pot early to make rice, and the soldiers finished their breakfast and rested for a while.
As the sun rose, a large number of officers and soldiers began to complete the formation outside the camp, and the rebels had not eaten at that time, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they had to temporarily give up the idea of enjoying breakfast and hurriedly lined up to meet the enemy.
More than 20 catapults threw stone projectiles into the rebel group, officially opening the curtain of the battle.
These catapults, which were sent to the front only last night, were immediately put into service and showed amazing power.
More than 20 stone bullets flew in the air, carrying a whistling sound, and fell to the earth.
Nearly half of the stone projectiles missed the target.
Catapults are like this, they have a long range and are very powerful, but the hit rate is relatively low.
However, more than a dozen stone bullets fell in the crowd, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the soldiers who were hit turned into blood and mud without even having a chance to scream, and the scene was very terrifying. This is not over, after falling to the ground, the stone bullet continues to roll forward, but it is not surprising that the soldiers who are touched by it are lucky enough to have missing arms and legs, and those who are unlucky are directly crushed to death.
Stone bullets passed everywhere, and screams continued.
Being attacked by catapults was something these rebels had never experienced before, and it was a terrible experience. Although the soldiers were brave, the boulders fell from the sky, and they were not something that flesh and blood could resist, and such a large stone projectile across a distance of nearly three hundred steps was beyond the cognition of many soldiers, making them feel what fear was for the first time.
A second wave of stone bullets followed.
The first wave of stone bullets was calibrated, and the accuracy of the second wave of stone bullets was significantly improved, and about two-thirds of the stone bullets were smashed down in the Yi Soldier Array. Although the Yi soldiers were scattered after being beaten, there was still a storm of blood.
Although the soldiers are brave and ruthless, they are weak in discipline. The Zhuti rebels trained by Huang Yi himself were relatively better, but most of the rebels came from the southern counties, and when the third wave of stone bullets hit, some of the Yi soldiers began to ignore the formation and run around.
The Yi soldiers fought like wolves and tigers, and there was no big problem in hand-to-hand combat, as now, being bombarded by stone bullets hundreds of steps away, the Yi soldiers were generally frightened. In fact, the casualties caused by stone bullets can only be said to be average, but the deterrent effect can be fully scored, and in the case of well-trained elite troops, this level of blow can be withstanded, but the soldiers are not.
Scarface Huang Yi's cold sweat broke out.
Although he knows some military affairs, he can only have such a big killing weapon as a catapult, which is only owned by the border army and the central army, and the state and county local armies are not qualified to deploy it, and Huang Yi has also seen the power of the catapult for the first time. He knew that after the stone attack was over, the officers and troops on the opposite side would launch an attack, and the formation must be kept relatively intact, but the destructive power of the stone bullets was indeed very large, and the troops showed some signs of vacillation, forcing the troops to maintain the formation, which might lead to greater confusion and even rout.
Huang Yi was extremely entangled and in a dilemma.
Fortunately, after the end of the fourth wave of stone shells, the stone-throwing attack stopped.
The stone projectiles thrown by catapults have relatively high requirements for size and shape.
If the projectile is too large and too heavy, it will affect the range, and if it is too small or too light, it will affect the effect. In terms of shape, it needs to be as round or oval as possible, so that the stone projectile can roll on the ground for a certain distance after landing, and the damage caused by the rolling process is the big head, and at the same time it can cause confusion to the enemy. Stone bullets are usually collected on the spot, and it takes time to collect and repair, and the catapults only arrived last night, and the stone bullets collected by the Central Route Army are only enough to fire four rounds.
Zhu Jun frowned.
He didn't expect that the catapult would be so deterrent to the soldiers. In the previous battles, the Yi soldiers were bloody and brave and good at fighting, Zhu Jun thought that the strength of the Yi soldiers was very good, who knows, they were bombarded by catapults for a few rounds, and the commotion was so obvious. Knowing this, he would rather launch it later, collect more stone bullets, and directly bombard the rebels, and then wave his army to cover up and kill, which will get twice the result with half the effort.
Now it's too late to collect the troops, and after the soldiers have seen the tactics of the catapult, it will be difficult to have the same effect next time they encounter it.
There is no regret medicine in the matter.
Zhu Jun acted decisively, and with a wave of the flag, the forward troops rushed forward.
There were no stone bullets coming, and the Yi soldiers gradually calmed down, they were afraid of stone bullets, but they were not afraid of melee combat with the officers and soldiers, and hand-to-hand combat began.
When Zhu Jun's Central Route Army launched an attack, the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army also launched operations at the same time.
Three Xiyuan lieutenants who led their troops into Yizhou to fight, Yuan Shao continued to sing on stage in Bajun and Zhao, and Chun Yuqiong obeyed orders under Zhu Jun's tent, and only Cao Cao got the opportunity to take charge alone.
This opportunity seems to be because of Cao Cao's outstanding performance in front of him.
Raided Wuyang, burned grain and grass, and accurately judged the direction of the retreat of the main force of the rebels, set up an ambush and killed Ma Xiang, forcing the rebels to retreat south, and the imperial court easily recovered the entire territory of Yibei. Cao Cao's extraordinary courage and strategy were enough to win this honor.
Zhu Jun's overall strategy was to attack on all fronts and break through in the middle, with the middle route army having the largest number of officers and troops.
The Middle Route Army was strengthened, and the East and West Routes were naturally relatively weaker.
In addition to the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao's headquarters, most of his accounts were a ragtag army composed of five buckets of rice believers, and Zhu Jun couldn't look down on the strength of five buckets of rice, so he handed them all over to Cao Cao. Relatively speaking, the Eastern Route Army, which was composed of the local troops of Ba County and Yuan Shao's department, was stronger than the Western Route Army.
After the battle began, Cao Cao, like Zhu Jun, first let the catapults bombard the Yi soldiers.
The Western Route Army's slinging offensive achieved even more remarkable results.
After Cao Cao returned to the Qianwei camp after the pre-war military meeting, he ordered the troops to prepare stone bullets in advance, although he was delayed on the road for some time, and the manpower that could be mobilized was not as good as that of the middle route army, but at the beginning of the battle, the catapult of the western route army threw twelve rounds, smashing the soldiers crying dad and mother, wow wow screaming.
Cao Cao keenly captured the fighter.
The original plan was to wait for the end of the stone throwing and let the five buckets of rice go up and rush first. Cao Cao didn't have a good impression of the believers of Wudoumi, Wudoumi rebelled, taking advantage of the danger of people when the Yizhou Chaos was in urgent need of employing people, seeking to be too guarded, completely untrustworthy, and sooner or later it would become a disaster, in his opinion, it was perfect to use the "rice thief" to consume the rebels.
However, when he saw that the soldiers were extremely adapted to the stone-throwing attack, he decisively changed his plan.
When the eighth wave of stone projectiles flew into the sky, Cao Cao's headquarters rushed out first.
