Chapter 54: The Plain Counterattack
Finally, it was night, and three small wooden towers with a height of three meters had already been erected on the wall of the north gate. The soldiers have eaten and drunk enough, and all the personnel who can participate in the battle are here, ready to attack at any time.
Xie Chengbin felt that the time was almost over, so he ordered three small wooden towers to be lit at the same time and released Kong Ming lanterns. Because the small wooden pagoda is poured with burning oil, when the torch is touched, the small wooden pagoda will be burned to a crackling sound. At the same time, three Kong Ming lanterns slowly flew into the sky.
This victory and defeat are all in one fell swoop, if this operation cannot be successful, you can only take the opportunity to turn back to Jinan.
To the south of Pingyuan City, almost all of Yuan Shao's strategists and generals gathered in the Yuan army camp. Since the siege did not take the plain for a day, Yuan Shao was thundering, scolding this and scolding that, it was nothing more than blaming them for failing to take the plain or something, and it was not pleasing to anyone.
Whether it is the strategists or the generals, they bury their heads very low, and no one dares to squeak, for fear of touching the moldy head.
"Report ......!" Just as Yuan Shao was chattering and complaining, the shouting of the herald came from outside the tent, and then a herald hurriedly ran in and knelt down on one knee with a fist to Yuan Shao. "Lord Qiqi, for some reason, the direction of Ande is blazing!"
"Is there such a thing?!" Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't believe the facts he heard. Ender's side is where the grain and grass are located, and if the grain and grass are destroyed, then hundreds of thousands of troops will ...... Thinking of this, Yuan Shao gasped, his hands and feet were cold, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he was angry, and roared loudly at the civil and military forces on both sides. "Don't follow me to Ender!"
For a time, the Yuan army besieging the plains continued to neigh, leaving half of the troops to continue to surround the plain city, and the other half went to Ande. Due to the fact that the army left in a hurry and made a lot of noise, and the whole sky was red with the light of Ande's fire, the Yuan army who stayed in the north of the plain did not know what was going on, and thought that the army was going to withdraw.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Guo Jia nodded and signaled that Xie Chengbin could start, Xie Chengbin waved his hand, the city gate slowly opened, and the soldiers who did not light torches continued to run out of the city gate and began to gather outside the moat. Although there were no torches, the moonlight was fine tonight, far from being out of sight.
After half an hour, the soldiers had already gathered and moved towards Yuan's camp.
When Xie Jun came to the vicinity of Yuan's army camp, he was spotted by the sentinels on the tower of Yuan's army, and the sentinels sounded their horns one after another to warn. Xie Jun beat the war drum and charged at Yuan's camp!
The loud sound of the horn stimulated the tense nerves of the soldiers of the Yuan army; The rapid sound of war drums is like beating the hearts of Yuan Jun's soldiers! The soldiers in the camp were not as good as their armor and their horses were not as good as their saddles, and they hurriedly met the battle.
Because the Yuan army was victorious in a hundred battles, and the goal of this battle was only to besiege the plains, and there was no consideration of the time when the Xie army still had a counteroffensive, so the Yuan army camp did not set up a thick fence, nor did it dig a wide and deep ravine, only a simple horse fence and antler frame.
Hundreds of patrols of the Yuan army who arrived first and nearly a hundred sentries on the tower were shot by Xie Jun's bow and arrows one after another! The soldiers at the forefront of Xie Jun waved their swords and cut the reins, and many horse bars and antler frames were pulled apart, and the cavalry then swarmed up and entered the Yuan army camp without a single soldier!
The soldiers of the Yuan army came to support one after another, but because the troops were too loose, they were all rushed by the iron cavalry of the Xie army, and they could not resist the invasion of the Xie army.
Many of these soldiers of the Yuan army were recruited from the Yellow Turban Army (Bocai, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao, etc.) and the Black Mountain Army and Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, and they went directly to the battlefield without much training. Seeing that the iron cavalry of the Xie army was like a bamboo, many soldiers of the Yuan army fled without a fight.
The general guarding here is Wen Chou, and when the horn sounded, Wen Chou was about to rest, but as soon as he lay down, Xie Jun came to attack. didn't have time to put on his armor, so he picked up a three-pointed two-edged knife (similar to Yang Jian's) from the eighteen weapons and went straight to the south gate.
Along the way, Wen Chou kept collecting deserters, and when he met Xie Jun's iron cavalry, he had already gathered more than 3,000 people! Seeing that the other party wantonly killed the soldiers of the Yuan army, Wen Chou was furious, and the three-pointed and two-edged knife pointed at the iron cavalry of the Xie army, and roared loudly. "Phew! Wen Chou is here, and he still doesn't get off the horse and surrender! ”
Being yelled at by Wen Chou like this, Xie Jun's iron cavalry, who was killing and killing, was all taken aback, and they all turned their heads to see, who is the sacred? Wu Anguo was the closest to Wen Chou, and when he saw that Wen Chou was not wearing armor or a war horse, he thought that Wen Chou was just a small soldier. Unexpectedly, he was a dignified general, but he was taken aback by a small soldier, which made Wu Anguo feel very faceless, and immediately rode his horse and rushed towards Wen Chou. "The thief is rampant! Wait for a certain Wu Anguo to take down the Er level! Come on! ”
"Just in time!" Seeing the other party rushing over, Wen Chou was not afraid of danger, snorted coldly, put the big knife across his chest, did not retreat but advanced, and rushed towards Xie Jun's iron cavalry alone. (The soldiers behind Wen Chou were all stupid, and no one dared to step forward.) )
The two sides were not far away, and when they rushed face to face, they were nearly twenty meters away in two seconds! Wu Anguo was five meters in front of Wen Chou, Wen Chou suddenly jumped, his whole body flew up like a cannonball, and he didn't hesitate to swing his knife and slash vertically, so fast, it was instant!
Wu Anguo was secretly surprised, he thought that Wen Chou was just a straw bag, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful! At that moment, he clenched the iron spear with both hands and raised it to block the opponent's attack. Swords and guns collide and a lot of sparks burst out!
"Boom!" With a loud bang, Wu Anguo and his men and horses fell down with a bang! said that it was too late and that was fast, and before Wu Anguo completely fell to the ground, Wen Chou came to slash again! Wu Anguo couldn't dodge, the forearm of his left hand holding the spear was cut off, and he screamed, blood didn't need money, and it was splashed everywhere.
The soldiers of the Yuan Army behind Wen Chou saw Wen Chou showing his skills, and their morale was suddenly shocked, and they all rushed forward with a roar. Although the soldiers behind didn't know what was going on in front of them, they saw the soldiers in front of them rushing forward, so they followed suit.
Before Wen Chou could cut off Wu Anguo's head, Xie Jun was killed! Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention that there are nearly 100 iron riders! Although Wen Chou is fierce, he can't resist so many iron horses alone, so he opens his bow left and right, blocks left and right, and defuses all the attacks of the iron horse.
The iron cavalry passed through Wen Chou's position and directly killed the soldiers of the Yuan army. Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers of the Yuan army turned around and ran away one after another, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one.
At this time, Ding Jie, who heard the news, arrived, and saw that Wen Chou was skilled, and he didn't dare to be careless, when the war horse passed by Wen Chou, the bright silver spear swept through thousands of troops, and was blocked by Wen Chou! Hurriedly jumped off the horse (foot combat is more flexible), and used all his strength to smash the spear at Wen Chou, and was steadily blocked by Wen Chou!
Wen Chou finished his efforts, blocked Ding Jie's spear and kicked Ding Jie with his right foot. Ding Jie hurriedly let go and did a backflip to avoid Wen Chou's attack. Wen Chou rushed towards Ding Jie, originally thought that Ding Jie would sneak attack Ding Jie before he landed, but who knew that Ding Jie in mid-air had already prepared, and the bright silver spear accurately pierced Wen Chou's head! Wen Chou hurriedly avoided it, only to see the bright silver spear pierced into the ground a few inches, if it was solidified just now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this time, Ding Jie landed steadily, and the two looked at each other for three seconds and then rushed towards each other, and the ping-pong fought, and every time the weapons collided, sparks burst out! The two sides have fought back and forth for fifty rounds and still have no winner, since both of them are good, then they can only compare endurance.
Zhang Fei, Yu Ban, Zangba, Sun Guan and others each led their troops to kill Yuan Jun everywhere, and whenever they passed by Yuan Jun's tent, they kicked over the illuminated brazier (the kind of three wooden sticks tied together with a brazier on it), and the burning sesame oil in the brazier splashed on the tent and burned at once. The entire Yuan army camp was reduced to a sea of fire, reflecting the entire dark night sky red!
Wen Chou, the main general, and Ding Jie fought hotly here, and the officers and soldiers of the Yuan army lost their unified command, and some rushed forward as if they were dead; Some ran away when they saw Xie Jun pulling his legs; Some headless flies scurry from east to west, north and south; Some of the deserters were huddled together with the reinforcements who came to support...... All in all, it's a mess.
Those who remained south of the plain were Fu Zhu, and when Yuan Shao left, he was temporarily appointed as a military advisor and was in charge of the affairs of the army.
When he received the news that Xie Jun was breaking through to the north, he immediately led a large army to support, but when he was about to rush to the battlefield, he encountered thousands of deserters. The deserters wanted to escape, they wanted to go to support, there were too many people, the camp was too narrow, and both sides were blocked here!
The scene was too noisy, and no matter how loud he shouted, it would be useless. If it goes on like this, when Xie Jun comes over, something big will happen!
The situation is urgent, and Fu Zhi did not hesitate to use the method of killing chickens and monkeys, and ordered his cronies to kill the crowded deserters in front! The cronies immediately drew their weapons and slashed the deserters in front of them, and for a while, the blood flowed like a river!
It happened that most of these deserters were incorporated from the remnants of Gongsun Zhan, and it was okay to see that Frustrated Confucher didn't give way, but I didn't expect to be so cruel to his compatriots, I don't know who took the lead in resisting and killed one of Frustrated Confidant's cronies, and the rest of the people followed suit, clenching their weapons and fighting with Frustrated Confidants!
After all, the number of deserters was far less than the number of reinforcements, and the reinforcements finally dispersed the deserters, and the traffic finally returned to normal. When the enemies saw each other, they were particularly red-eyed, and the two sides killed each other without saying a word. Most of the cavalry of the Yuan army was transferred away by Yuan Shao, and they were ready to come to support Fu Zhu and did not let the soldiers bring more bows and arrows, that is, there were no cavalry and no bows and arrows, and they were killed by the cavalry of the Xie army and retreated.
At this time, a herald reported to Fu Zhi, saying that the rear was under a sneak attack, and the grain and grass were gone! Fu Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't know when Xie Jun went around to his rear, and hurriedly ordered to retreat to the south of the plain.
