Chapter 355: Taishi Zhaorong's first battle

Gongsun Zhan's retaliation was aimed at Haoshan City, which had almost no military strength, which was dominated by Zhen Yi and was almost a place reserved for the Zhen family, neither a military town, nor a large number of alien forces, but the Zhen family was Fang Zhiwen's in-laws and money bags, of course, this was Gongsun Zhan's self-righteous thoughts.

Therefore, Gongsun Chan felt that if he could properly attack Haoshan City, of course, it was not necessary to capture it, as long as it seriously damaged the farmland and pastures around Haoshan City, it would be enough to achieve the goal, and it would naturally be better if he could capture it.

However, how could Fang Zhiwen not guard against these targets that Gongsun Chan might attack? What's more, Fang Zhiwen told Zhen Yi as early as a month ago that he would let him transfer his family to Miyun City, so naturally he would not take Gongsun Zhanjun of Yuyang Pass lightly.

And responsible for supporting Haoshan when necessary, it is Taishi Zhaorong who conducts combat training in Saibei, strictly speaking, this is still the first battle of Taishi Zhaorong, but after this period of familiarity with the army, and this army is still Fang Zhiwen's headquarters, all of which are elites drawn from various units, and even middle and low-level generals are also the best among the generals, even if Taishi Zhaorong has something that is not in place, there will naturally be someone to remind him.

And this time there is Xiangxiang to follow, although these operational staff officers of the staff are young, they are all experienced veteran officers, so naturally they will not let Taishi Zhaorong have any fatal deviations.

As for Taishi Zhaorong himself, he was indeed a little restless with excitement. According to the canons in the army, Taishi Zhaorong completed the textbook-like division and stealth, and then assembled and lurked at night, pretending to be wild monsters, cleaning up all the living creatures around, camping, hiding, etc., Taishi Zhaorong finally completed the battle preparations for the first regular war in her life, and now she is just waiting for the enemy to appear.

Yuyang Pass is too close to Haoshan City. It is less than a hundred miles, on the contrary, the distance from Guangping City, the northernmost part of Yuyang County, is slightly farther. The garrison of Yuyang Pass departs in the morning, and can reach Haoshan City in the evening, if it is set off in the evening, it will naturally be able to arrive early the next morning, from Yuyang Pass to Haoshan City, there is a straight road to connect, the road is very easy to walk, even if it transports large siege equipment. The speed of the troops will not drop much either.

Tian Kai was actually quite careful, although he didn't agree with Gongsun Zhan's order in his heart, but this was an order, but he was not discussing it with Tian Kai. In Tian Kai's view, Gongsun Zhan's order actually has no clear strategic intention at all, it is basically a model of raising troops in anger, just for military retaliation, in fact, even if it is for military retaliation, you can choose those targets that are beneficial to yourself and have less cost to retaliate. And not this Haoshan Castle in front of him.

Because Haoshan City is an important trade route from Yuyang to the north, and more importantly, Haoshan City is actually the Zhen family's own land, Gongsun Chan is tantamount to turning his face with the Zhen family by doing so, and the Zhen family's business network is all over the Han Dynasty, and forming a good relationship with the Zhen family is actually beneficial to Gongsun Zhan's entire business system, if it is the opposite. The business of Gongsun Zhan's territory will definitely be in trouble, not to mention anything else, the soaring prices and the shortage of materials are already predictable.

Of course. Tian Kai's knowledge is actually very limited, although the Zhen family's business network is powerful. But now, the player is coming from behind, the player's business system is not bad at all than the Zhen family, and even more convenient and fast, the only thing that is not so good is that the player's aggressiveness is too strong, even in the business field, the player seems to have an extremely strong pursuit of monopoly, once Gongsun Zhan's business system is controlled by the player, then Gongsun Chan really dies and doesn't know how to die.

In order to reduce losses, Tian Kai also didn't want to offend the Zhen family too much, so he targeted the farms and pastures around Haoshan City, and even the territory of the aliens, Tian Kai didn't plan to provoke it, as long as the final result could be perfunctory to Gongsun Zhan, this matter would be considered over.

It's just that Tian Kai's compromise is completely wishful thinking, Fang Zhiwen has never been a good man and a woman, since your Gongsun Zan came over with his face stretched out, Fang Zhiwen can definitely beat you all over the ground looking for teeth, and he doesn't spare his hands at all.

Tian Kai suddenly issued the order to assemble after the dark seal, and there was almost no warning before, but the action of purchasing military supplies had already fallen in the eyes of the Zhen family, unlike Taishi Zhaorong who set off to the outside of the fortress early, no matter how secret Tian Kai's actions were, they would be so obvious because of the lack of time to prepare for the battle.

Taishi Zhaorong's starting point was actually after Tian Kai's logistical preparations were exposed, so Taishi Zhaorong didn't know when Tian Kai would make a move, so he could only wait in the mountains west of the straight road from Yuyang Pass to Haoshan County.

Tian Kai didn't let Taishi Zhaorong wait long, on the night of the second day when Taishi Zhaorong's department entered the departure place, Tian Kai set out, and the news received was slightly delayed, but after Taishi Zhaorong and Xiangxiang carefully calculated on the map, they accurately calculated the time when Tian Kai arrived at the intended ambush location.

Taishi Zhaorong immediately gathered the troops, and the scouts had already been sent first, if it was a pure cavalry battle, Taishi Zhaorong didn't need to prepare so early, but because there were four thousand heavy crossbow dragoons in the army, it was necessary to set up crossbow positions around the selected battlefield first, so Taishi Zhaorong's time was relatively tight.

Fortunately, these troops are elite, and the preparation before the battle is extremely fast, and the generals of each song are veterans, Taishi Zhaorong is even more prepared for a team and a song, and immediately let these troops set off, this kind of bold tactical arrangement, even the experienced grassroots generals are admired, and they are even more convinced of this 'second lady'.

Tian Kai's troops were ambushed on the east side of Minglu Mountain, this place is actually not a good place for ambushes, because it is too open, but Tian Kai is not one of those rookie generals, as soon as he saw the location of the ambush, he knew that the reason why the other party chose this place was because the other party had a strong cavalry force. And most likely archers.

Tian Kai immediately ordered that 10,000 baggage troops spread outward, using equipment as obstacles and 20,000 spears, swords, and shields as stuffing, and immediately formed a huge circular formation, with 20,000 crossbowmen in the center as the core striking force.

Tian Kai's response was effective. However, he miscalculated the position of the opponent's ambush cavalry, and also miscalculated the range and stunts of the crossbow on the opposite side.

The heavy crossbow dragoons had a very long range. What's more, their position is built on the mountainside, and as for their stunt, it is the fire arrow!

So the obstacles made up of heavy equipment became piles of torches to help burn, and the cavalry appeared behind them, and very close. Tian Kai really couldn't imagine how they could avoid their scouts at such a close distance.

Tian Kai's circle formation has not had time to complete, the crossbowmen are moving, but at this time, the enemy's cavalry has already rushed in, in the dark night, there is no way to know how many troops the other side has, and what is even worse is that when this circle formation has not had time to close. It was rushed in by the cavalry, and in the circle formation, there were basically no crossbowmen with melee ability at all!

Tragedy! Tian Kai knows that this time is a tragedy!

The enemy's cavalry was well-trained, with melee weapons armed with swords and guns on the periphery and archers with bows on the inside, and the enemy's generals were also very experienced, dividing the troops into three frontal formations. Repeatedly interspersed in the crossbow formation, while also shooting the outer sword and shield soldiers from behind.

Tian Kai was loudly beckoning the pikemen on the periphery to compress inward, squeezing the movement space of the cavalry. At the same time, the crossbowmen were ordered to scatter and break through the siege to reduce losses. It's just that now the battlefield is completely chaotic, and in the dark night, it is extremely difficult to convey orders, and what is even worse is that he keeps issuing orders, and immediately reveals his whereabouts.

A team of cavalry suddenly turned a corner, rushing straight towards Tian Kai's guards, the general of the guard did not need Tian Kai's command, and immediately attacked it, but the result surprised Tian Kai, the other party's generals rushed over are extremely strong, whether it is speed or attack and defense, they are definitely not the same level as their own guards, and what is more powerful is that the force value of the leading general may be very high, under the dark red spear, there is no half-combined general, he rushed all the way with the black cavalry behind him, as if a fiery knife cut on the butter, Absolutely lightweight.

Tian Kai licked his chapped lips, grabbed his long-handled straight knife from the victory hook, and shouted: "Follow me 1."

Rushing over the way of the enemy general, far away, Tian Kai wanted to recognize the enemy general who had defeated him by the firelight, but unfortunately, the face of the helmet that the general had put down, he could only see the flash of sharp eyes, and his not so strong figure.

"Come and pass" Tian Kai's words were not finished, and the five-flowered horse that the enemy general stepped on suddenly accelerated, and the crimson spear drew a red light, and it had already reached his face.

Tian Kai couldn't care about speaking anymore, gritted his teeth tightly, and raised his hands vigorously, trying to block the deadly shot.

'When/

With a crisp sound, the red spear seemed to pause suddenly and then picked it up, following the direction of Tian Kai's own force, knocking up on Tian Kai's hilt, and suddenly opened Tian Kai's middle door. It's just a joke!

Thinking of this, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Tian Kai's mouth, the enemy general on the opposite side wouldn't be Zhao Yun with the name of the gun god!?

'Flutter'

A huge force, so that Tian Kai can no longer hold the reins in his hand, his legs can no longer clamp the horse's back steadily, the whole person seems to become very light and light, flying upward, with the improvement of the perspective, he clearly saw that his soldiers have been basically scattered, the enemy's cavalry is divided into more squads, driving and chasing the unarmed crossbowmen, and those crossbowmen who are fleeing in all directions collide with the spears, swords, and shields that are moving inward, the disaster is still expanding, and there is no power to return to the sky!
