Chapter 555: The Tiger Legion
Gao Shun was completely dragged to the rear because he led his personal guards to block the first dead soldiers.
Huang Xu knew that if there was no battlefield veteran like Gao Shun, he would probably be difficult to complete the task with his troops.
Looking at the troops who had safely escaped from the enemy's encirclement, Huang Xu gave the order to go on the expedition, the only decision he made, the whole army turned around, sorted out the formation, and then launched an attack on the Xuanyuan army behind him.
Wen Chou and Ju Yi obviously didn't expect the enemy who had 'fled' to turn around and attack, so they were caught off guard at first.
However, Wen Chou and Ju Yi are also veterans of the battlefield, so they immediately made arrangements and confronted Li Yangjun.
The number of people on both sides is almost the same, if they continue to fight like this, they will fight for a few days and nights, and I am afraid that they will end up losing both.
Therefore, about an hour after the official start of the war, the two sides began to evacuate the central battlefield with a tacit understanding.
However, in order to advance into Ling County, and in order to stop it, neither side withdrew far.
In this way, the 200,000 Li Yang army and the hundreds of thousands of Xuanyuan troops officially set up a formation and confronted each other on the outskirts of Qingyuan County.
For several days, there were many large and small battles between the two sides, but in the end, they were all over.
However, on the whole, it is Li Yangjun who has an absolute disadvantage.
First of all, their task is to attack Lingxian, but now it is difficult to move an inch, then the enemy's purpose is successful, they are equivalent to failure, secondly, they are originally out of the territory to fight, so the supply of grain and grass is very difficult, compared to the place close to Qingyuan County, the material is sufficient, they are considered to have an absolute disadvantage.
But even so, Huang Xu and Gao Shun, as the main generals, did not have a trace of sadness.
Looking at the strategic map in front of him, Huang Xu pointed to the enemy's camp and said to Gao Shun on the side: "Brother Gao, although we have now completed the master's explanation, it is not a way to do it in the long run, and it has no merit, do you want to find a way to end this army!" ”
Gao Shun shook his head, "Persuade Brother Huang to dispel this thought, it is my merit if I don't make a mistake now, and when the lord's plan is successful, we can eat this army as well." ”
Huang Xu shook his head and sighed helplessly, "Hey, won't half of the credit be shared!" ”
Although he complained like this, Huang Xu knew how to measure, and unless he was absolutely sure, he would definitely not attack.
"I don't know what happened to Uncle Taishi!" Huang Xu looked up at the northeast and muttered.
Just when Huang Xu was thinking in his heart, his Uncle Taishi, who was leading the 500,000 Tiger Legion, rushed into Qinghe County with an unstoppable momentum.
Tai Shi Ci looked at the Ling County in front of him, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, before Xuanyuan Honglie led a large army to raid Qinghe County, but they were caught off guard, that battle made Tai Shi Ci feel unusually aggrieved, he had long wanted to get it back.
Originally, he learned that he was left by the lord to guard on the plains, thinking that it would be difficult for him to have a big war, but he didn't think that a few days ago, he actually got an order from Li Yang to lead the army to raid Qinghe County, which made him very happy.
Almost on the day he received the order, he assembled his army, and then together with Guo Jia, marched to Jizhou, and it took almost only three days for the Tiger Legion to arrive in Lingxian.
For this county town close to the plains, Xuanyuan Honglie naturally would not send an army to help, even if he wanted to stop Huang Xu and them, Xuanyuan Honglie did not mobilize this army, because he knew very well that there was an army of more than 500,000 people in Pingyuan County that had been eyeing him.
When the Tiger Legion marched into Lingxian, the defenders of Lingxian County naturally discovered it for the first time, the defender here was Chun Yuqiong, this person's qualifications were mediocre, but he was a famous general, and he had also experienced a lot of battles, and his force was not weak, so Xuanyuan Honglie dared to arrange him here.
Chun Yuqiong in the first time when he learned that the Tiger Legion was marching, he gathered the soldiers and the surrounding people into Lingxian County, Xuanyuan Honglie only left him 300,000 soldiers and horses, if he resisted, he felt that he was probably not the enemy's opponent, so he planned to base Lingxian County to prevent the enemy, and at the same time sent people to send a message of 800 miles to inform Xuanyuan Honglie.
But what he didn't know was that after these cavalry left the city, they were killed by the Moyi Building that had been prepared long ago before they had gone out of fifty miles, so now this Ling County is a lonely city.
When the Tiger Legion marched to the bottom of Lingxian County, it immediately launched a fierce attack, and this fierce siege lasted until the evening, and then stopped.
That night, Chun Yuqiong looked at the continuous camp that the enemy had set up while attacking the city, touched the blood on his face, and thought, "I'm afraid the next few days will be very difficult, I just hope that the lord's reinforcements will arrive soon!" ’
…………
"Brother Ziyi, are you sure that Lingxian has been surrounded?" Guo Jia looked at the map in front of him and asked Tai Shici in a deep voice.
"Bong-hyo rest assured, guarantee that even a dog can't run out." Tai Shi Ci patted his chest and said.
Guo Jia nodded, the 400,000 army, surround a county town is still more than 400,000, yes, it is 400,000, the Tiger Legion under Ling County, only 400,000, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses have already marched towards Zhongyao County.
"Brother Ziyi, this battle is in a fast word, remember that the army has arrived in Ling County, and it is necessary to capture Ling County with lightning speed."
"Bong-hyo rest assured." After that, he was about to get up and leave, if it weren't for the fear that the defenders of Lingxian County would not be suspicious of him as the main general, he would have been on the way to Zhongyao County.
"By the way, Ziyi, remember the lord's instructions."
"Know, try to catch it alive!"
"Also, in the next few days, I will let the soldiers gradually leave the camp tent and gather in the southwest direction, hoping that Brother Ziyi will quickly solve the matter of Zhongyao!"
Tai Shi Ci answered, walked out of the camp, and then rode his war horse and headed straight for Zhong Yao.
Watching Tai Shici leave, Guo Jiacai moved his gaze to the map in front of him.
This battle, for the Tiger Legion, is to pay attention to a fast, Li Yang gave them three tasks, they must complete all three tasks before the Xuanyuan army reacts, if they can't complete all of them, their results will be greatly reduced.
Next, for his own task, it was much easier, he only needed to stay and trap the defenders in Ling County, which was also the reason why they launched a fierce attack on Ling County as soon as they came, causing confusion to them and making them not think about anything else.
Zhongyao County, although it is only a county seat, but with the funding of Li Yang, the military strength is also quite not weak, not only has nearly 100,000 defenders, but the city wall has hundreds of crossbows to defend the city, and even in the underground of the county command, there are several red chariots hidden.
This was secretly hidden by Yi Guozhong in order to prevent Xuanyuan Honglie from discovering it, without telling others, otherwise these red refining chariots would have been placed on the Zhongyao City Wall or Fanyang City Wall now.
Although the 100,000 led by Tai Shi Ci are elite and their combat power is amazing, but under such a defense of Zhongyao County, it is obviously not easy to quickly take this city, but they have other methods.
The 100,000 army marched slowly in the night, if Liu Biao and they saw it, I am afraid they would exclaim, for the soldiers who lacked vitamins in ancient times, most of them had night blindness, so it was difficult to march at night, but for Li Yangjun, it was not difficult.
After rushing at a high speed in the middle of the night, Tai Shici finally caught up with this force.
Seeing Tai Shi Ci coming, a young man dressed in white filial piety clothes in the lead rushed over and saluted him, "General Tai Shi!"
