Chapter 664: Fierce Battle
Gongsun Zhan stationed his horse in front of a chasm, the Flame Valley was once where Zhang Fan fought Zhang Niujiao Yellow Turban Army, when Zhang Fan's troops were small, he had to let the iron wall build a lot of fortifications, including a chasm at the mouth of the valley and many "pillboxes" in the valley!
At present, Gongsun Chan is facing a chasm several zhang long, which is the iron wall after the war and sent people to dig out, extremely wide, even if the horse comes quickly, it is difficult to cross, usually there are planks here to pounce, for people to walk, in wartime it will be withdrawn, cut off the two armies, forming a man-made danger, the enemy wants to attack the casualties will inevitably increase, it can be said that it is the best use of geographical advantages!
Fu Chen will let the pikemen enter the bunker to hold on, and he will lead the shield infantry and archer team to approach the chasm, and launch an attack on Bai Ma Yi from a distance.
"Shoot back with a bow and arrow, wait for the foot soldiers to come, and break it in one fell swoop!"
Gongsun Zhan ordered Bai Ma Yicong to shoot, but the effect achieved was not very good, after all, Fu Chen's side was guarded by the big shield of the shield infantry, and Bai Ma Yicong was flesh and blood, even if the armor on his body was strong in defense, but Bai Ma Yicong belonged to the light cavalry after all, did not wear heavy armor, and did not completely ignore the arrows, and the two were damaged by each other, and it was difficult to separate for a while.
Gongsun Zhan stood in front of the white horse Yicong, the bow and arrow in his hand flashed, each arrow can shoot through the big shield, take people's lives, his attack is the most powerful, and in this distance is almost incomprehensible, his own feather arrow he calmly blocked with a long sword, and then returned fire with a bow and arrow, with his force in the army is naturally a shot of a target, no false shot!
Fu Chen felt the pressure, but he didn't choose to retreat, because no matter how strong Gongsun Chan was, he was just one person, Bai Ma Yicong lacked the protection of the defense arms, and the casualty ratio was almost the same as his own.
This is not to say that Fu Chen is cold-blooded and ignores the lives of the soldiers, but there will always be trade-offs in the war, if you don't pay some price now, once you are close to the white horse Yicong on a large scale, you don't even have a chance to fight back, and you will be trampled into meat immediately!
Bai Ma Yi is strong, Zhang Fan has evolved to the fullest, Fu Chen doesn't want to ask Gongsun Chan for advice again!
In the end, it was Gongsun Zhan who couldn't help it, he couldn't sit back and watch Bai Ma Yicong and ordinary soldiers change lives, and ordered to retreat with a blushing face, wanting to wait until Thomas and Tian Kai and others led the infantry to arrive before attacking in one fell swoop!
"Who are you? Get your name in! Gongsun Zhan pointed at Fu Chen with a sword and shouted: "I don't kill unknown people under my sword!" ”
Fu Chen smiled slightly, didn't say much, and said, "Fu Chen! ”
"Fu Chen? You designed a night attack on our army? It's really vicious, I will take your head! Gongsun Chan roared.
Fu Chen shook his head and said, "The person who came up with such a clever plan is not me, but our military advisor, Frost and Snow!" ”
"It doesn't matter who it is!" Gongsun Chan waved his hand domineeringly and sneered: "Anyway, none of you want to go back alive today, do you think that my soldiers who have injured me can still retreat safely?" ”
Fu Chen waved his hand and responded to Gongsun Zhan's wave of feather arrows, although Gongsun Chan was strong, he couldn't withstand such a large-scale concentrated fire, so he had to resist while exploding, he stood still outside the range of feather arrows, his face was extremely pale, and Fu Chen smiled coldly, and said: "It's useless to talk more, if you have the ability, just come and attack!" This is an iron wall built by us, not afraid of an enemy! ”
Fu Chen said this mainly to provoke the generals, he was afraid that Gongsun Chan would retreat and attack other towns in Jizhou, and his arrangements would be wasted, so he did not hesitate to keep Gongsun Chan and let him enter the Flame Valley.
"Bullshit!" Gongsun Zhan was really furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Gaoyang City has majestic city walls and hundreds of thousands of defenders, and it has not been captured by me, your Xu Xu arrangements are just child's play, watch me break it!" ”
The two of them were arguing again, and soon after, Thomas and others finally led the follow-up army to arrive, and now Gongsun Zhan's overall soldiers and horses are only more than 200,000 people, nearly 100,000 people were killed in the night attack, and the war horses were lost nearly half, and some knights even had to watch the friendly troops shoot their war horses, which only they know about the sadness, and now seeing Fu Chen and others lined up in front, their eyes immediately turned red, and their momentum skyrocketed!
"The mourning soldiers will win, and what they said is true!" Fu Chen sighed lightly in his heart, Gongsun Zhan's army was already elite, but now he was sad, angry, even more fearless of death, and the attack became more and more crazy, if it wasn't for some arrangement, relying on two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses on his side might not be their opponent!
Yes, after last night, Fu Chen already has an advantage in terms of troops, but this kind of thing is the most unreliable, Zhang Fan has gone all the way, which time is not to win more with less? 10,000 rabble is certainly not the opponent of a thousand elite soldiers, this is undoubted, although the combat power of the reserve corps led by Fu Chen is also good, but it is obviously unable to compete with Gongsun Zhan, who has a white horse and many cavalry, and there is only one defeat in a forced battle, and the only way to win is to win by strategy, this is the way to go!
Fighting and strategizing, classic battles in history abound with less to win more, Fu Chen is calm by nature and does not take it lightly, which is also one of the reasons why he can succeed!
Thomas came to the front of the battle, frowning in the face of the scene in front of him, he had paid attention to Zhang Fan's battle against Zhang Niujiao here, and he couldn't help but say to Gongsun Zhan: "This place is difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you attack strongly, the casualties will inevitably be very large, why don't you give up and run elsewhere?" ”
Gongsun Zhan shook his head decisively when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Last night, Gaoyang City was on fire on all sides, and the grain and grass stored in the city were burned a lot, and it was difficult to supply the army, and as far as the intelligence goes, the enemy army has already transferred all the materials to the Hades Valley, even if we capture the city, there is no food and grass to replenish, and the transfer of grain from Youzhou is too slow, after all, it is not a long-term solution, only to annihilate the enemy army in one go, it is the best choice!" ”
Thomas frowned and thought about it, he was actually very suspicious of the information he got from Li Qing, but at this moment he couldn't take the risk of testing, there seemed to be only one path in front of him, that is, to break through the valley in front of him with many fortifications, but how easy was it to say?
In the end, Thomas is not the final decision-maker, Gongsun Chan has already been provoked, and he has a reason to fight, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, and ordered the infantry corps to fully press, and vowed to break through many dangers and annihilate the enemy!
Gongsun Zhan's order, the soldiers suddenly roared and rushed over, in the face of the chasm blocking the way, they are much smarter than the Yellow Turban Army, with the siege ladder on it, and then carefully advance, this way is very novel, but there is always a gap in the middle of the ladder, it is inevitable that there will be a time to step on the gap, when even if some soldiers fall into the chasm, there are abandoned blades and so on, the edge is facing up, and the end of the person who falls down can be imagined, all of them were stabbed through the heart!
Not only that, Fu Chen ordered the archers to shoot to prevent Gongsun Zhan's army from approaching, and many soldiers fell on the ladder with arrows, but they were falling on the space of the ladder, filling the gap, so that the soldiers in the rear could break through faster, but this was something that everyone did not expect, the role of the chasm was weakened a lot, and the pressure on Fu Chen's army became very great!
"Destroy the ladder!" At the critical moment, Fu Chen was in danger, the temperament of the commander was undoubtedly revealed, and under his order, some players in the army hurriedly released their skills, and the frost and snow were the most domineering, ice and fire came out together, and the two cloud ladders were destroyed in an instant, and the person standing on it fell to the bottom of the ditch screaming, struggling to make a note that he was not alive.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zhan did not show weakness, and ordered Bai Ma Yicong and the team of archers under his command to exert their power together, and the feather arrows were **** in the sky, forcing Fu Chen's army backwards, so that the ladder was safe, and the foot soldiers roared and rushed up, and there were really a few people who successfully set foot on the other side!
"Gongsun Chan is worthy of being a peerless general, and his tactical use is very appropriate, far from being comparable to the opponents we have encountered before!"
Fu Chen and Aoshuang Douxue glanced at each other, and they both saw the deep solemnity in each other's eyes, when Zhang Fan was in this battle, this gap was much narrower, but Rao was so Zhang Niujiao still used countless lives to cross it, but Gongsun Zhan made an extraordinary move, and it took a short time to achieve initial results, which shows its strength!
In the face of this situation, Fu Chen is still not a little busy, in fact, his calmness is admired by Zhang Fan, that is a natural temperament, ordinary people can't learn, at this moment he used the shield infantry to rush forward like a bulldozer, and then with the upper back row of feather arrows to suppress, for a while Gongsun Zhan's army was stunned, it stands to reason that the shield infantry does not cooperate with the pikemen is not capable of harm, but in this case, it is not, although they are difficult to attack, they can push Gongsun Zhan's sergeant back with the huge force formed by the flow of people, And behind it is the chasm, there is a trap of death in it, once it is pushed down, the end is self-evident!
At this stage, the number of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers who can rush over is not very large, and they are naturally inferior to Fu Chenfang in terms of the strength of the crowd, coupled with the heaviness of the shield, the people who have just landed were immediately pushed back, and the screams sounded, which made people feel frightened.
Gongsun Chan was also slightly surprised when he saw this situation, but he reacted quickly, and made a very unexpected move, only to see him wave his big hand, and the white horse behind him roared in unison, and a pure white dragon appeared above their heads, staring at this side!
"It's not good, it's the guardian beast of the White Horse!"
Fu Chen's face changed, and he shouted urgently: "Withdraw!" The front team retreated quickly! ”
