Chapter 256: Stealing Chickens Can't Be Done
In the face of the menacing Le Yang and his 100,000 army, Yuan Shu didn't dare to be careless, but he was still very sure of repelling Daqin's vanguard army first, after all, it was impossible for 100,000 people to rush up.
Yan Liang, who competed for the sky and rode ten thousand generals, was also one of Yuan Shu's most trusted generals, commanding troops for many years, and supporting the gold-clothed cavalry with another general, Wen Chou.
"Major General, this time Great Qin sent 100,000 vanguard troops, if you want to repel them, our 20,000 people are still too reluctant, it is better to delay them first and wait for Ma Zhong's reinforcements." Yuan Shu was not brainless, and said: "You are right, a force of 100,000 people, a maximum of 10,000 forwards, we want to eat them." β
"The general is wise, as long as he kills the striker, Daqin will definitely slow down." Soon, they saw the vanguard of Great Qin, and as they thought, there were only ten thousand in number.
"Soldiers, the military merits are right in front of you, let the people of Yumen Pass see the strength of our Jizhou Golden Cavalry, kill." With Yuan Shu's order, 20,000 gold-clothed horsemen rushed towards the Qin army.
Seeing this, Le Yang sneered, these Da Zhou people are still too naΓ―ve, and there are only 10,000 strikers outside the real world.
Suddenly, the Great Qin army was divided into two, and an unknown number of infantry leaked out of the center, and these infantry were extremely fast, and they could keep up with the speed of the cavalry.
Yan Liang was shocked when he saw this, damn, he was careless, but now it's too late to stop, the Sky Fighting Cavalry has already rushed up The infantry generals of Da Qin are wearing heavy armor and holding spears ready to attack.
I only heard that the drums of war had already beaten, and the generals shouted loudly, and then rushed towards the opponent. Spears collide on the battlefield, friction creates sparks, and the fight is inextricable.
Yuan Shu was resisted by the heavy infantry and the charge of the gold-clothed cavalry, and then surrounded by the cavalry of Le Yang, and for a while he was in a predicament The Great Qin soldiers suddenly became more excited when they saw their generals coming out on top, and their hands were united and charged forward, and a larger-scale melee between the two sides began.
The miserable screams of the horses resounded in the sky, the shouts of the cavalry were deafening, they looked at death as home, they fought for honor!
The evenly matched engagement finally came to an end due to the negligence of one side, and the Jinyi cavalry was defeated, and they underestimated the enemy at the beginning, resulting in not observing the military ratio of Great Qin.
Surrounded by heavy infantry and cavalry, the 20,000 horses and horses were lost by a third, and the follow-up troops were not far away, and if they couldn't get out, they would have to give a complete account of this.
"Major General, what should I do, these Qin troops are too strong in combat, they should be the elite of the Great Qin Border Pass." Yan Liang worked hard to support, but fortunately, his personal strength was very strong, but he already had wounds on his body.
Yuan Shu was also anxious, why didn't Ma Zhong's people come yet.
"Hahaha, soldiers, the Great Zhou people are not good, kill." Le Yang's reasonableness is unforgiving, although he is not Sun Feng's subordinate, but as long as it is the Great Zhou army, it is the enemy.
"Yan Liang, the point where everyone gathers, you have to rush out at any cost." Yuan Shu knew that he would lose at least half of his men and horses by doing so, but he had to do so in order to reduce more losses.
Yan Liang had no choice but to aim his cavalry at the slightly weaker place of the Qin army, and after huge casualties, he and Yuan Shu escaped with 10,000 remnants.
Le Yang didn't chase too quickly, after the battle, he also knew that these cavalry were not easy to deal with, if it wasn't for his surprise and trapped them, this battle should not be so easy.
So he immediately stopped his march: "The army stopped advancing and waited until reinforcements arrived. Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the enemy was not chasing, but the loss of 10,000 gold-clothed horsemen still made him very painful.
"Major General, we can say later, when we encounter a siege of 50,000 people by the other side, we will lose 10,000 people, kill 10,000 enemies and finally get out, so that people will not think that we are exaggerating the results of the battle, and we can hold on to our face." Yan Liang's words won Yuan Shu's heart, and he said, "Yes, just do it." Not long after, Ma Zhong's army was just preparing to set out for the expedition when he saw Yuan Shu return to his military camp.
"General Yuan, what's going on, why are there only so many people coming back?" Yuan Shu said helplessly: "General Ma doesn't know, the Great Qin Striker is not 10,000 at all, but 70,000, and it is the famous Loulan general Le Yang who personally leads the team, it was my carelessness, and it took nearly 10,000 people to get out of the encirclement of 70,000 people." "Good guy, Yuan Shu said that 20,000 people became 70,000, which is more excessive than Yan Liang.
"In the face of three times his own troops, he can still get out, Jizhou Zhengtian Cavalry is worthy of its reputation, and the general must have beheaded a lot." Of course, Ma Zhong knew that he was lying, but he couldn't expose it at this time.
"Yes, General Ben also killed more than 10,000 of them, and now they are stopping to rest, this is the general's chance." Yuan Shu didn't want to fight with Great Qin anymore, otherwise these 10,000 people would not be able to survive.
"Yes, they were chiseled by General Yuan, and they must be frightened, and someone came to spread the word that I ordered them to go out of the camp to meet the Qin army." Ma Zhong led his 50,000 men towards Leyang, while Yuan Shu was preparing to return to Yumen Pass, when the Youzhou ghost led by Meng Qinglou rode out of Yumen Pass and was approaching the battlefield.
After the 100,000 army converged, Le Yang also met Ma Zhong's troops, and the two enemies were very red when they met, and they immediately started fighting without saying much.
Although Leyang's numbers were superior, Ma Zhong's army were all people who survived the battle of Yumen Pass, and when they saw the Qin army, they remembered the tragic death of their father and uncle, and they didn't want to bite the Qin army.
This is also why Sun Feng dared to let the 50,000 people press so close, these are mourning soldiers, and seeing his enemies will explode several times the strength.
With the shouts of the charge, sharp arrows whizzed past the ears, swords clashed, screams erupted, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and arrows like a rain of arrows flew through the armor and armor.
Splatters of blood were thrown in the air, the heads of soldiers tumbled to the ground, and the souls of the heroes seemed to be still roaring in the hazy air.
A pair of blood-red eyes flashed with hatred on the hideous faces, and the air was filled with more and more bloody gas, the sky was filled with gunsmoke, and the earth was full of corpses and rivers.
Leyang didn't get any benefit after fighting for a long time, 100,000 against 50,000, almost a one-to-one loss, but if you continue to fight, even if you can win, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory.
At this time, the scout suddenly came to report: "General, the reinforcements of the Great Zhou are coming, and the military flag is a ghost ride in Youzhou." β
"Ghost Ride?" The power of the ghost rider in the First World War caused a sensation in the world, and even Zhaoyang died in the hands of the ghost rider, but he also knew that it was impossible for everyone to reach the height of the ghost rider now, otherwise there would be no need to fight this battle at all.
"Mingjin retreats." Buzz~~~~ Daqin's horn sounded, and the soldiers retreated into the formation one after another, Ma Zhong spit out a mouthful of blood and blew the horn.
"General Ma, this battle is admired by Le Yang, I will be here today, and I will fight again in the future."
"Okay, when the time comes, General Ben will cut off your head and pay tribute to my dead father and son." Le Yang's heart trembled, Ma Zhong's eyes actually made him feel fear, and he didn't stop for more, and returned to Daqin with the remaining more than 70,000 people.
Ma Zhong also led his troops back to the barracks, and he also lost more than 20,000 in this battle, and he urgently needed to rest. And Meng Qinglou also came with 30,000 people to respond.
Seeing Ma Zhong's appearance, he couldn't help but admire him very much: "The general is anxious. β
"Hehe, the brothers are going crazy when they see Qin Jun, they are dead as they deserve, we are all crawling out of the pile of dead people, and we can bite and kill a Qin Jun."
"The general is really admirable." Immediately afterwards, Meng Qinglou and Ma Zhong changed guards and asked him to return to Yumen Pass to replenish the troops.
After Yuan Shu returned, he knew that he was at a loss, and just wanted to send someone to urge Yuan Tan, but he saw that a steady stream of grain and grass was entering the Yumen Pass.
Immediately found Sun Feng and asked, "Marshal, is Yuan Tan here?" The last general saw the grain and grass enter the Yumen Pass. β
"Ah, I forgot to say, Jizhou is not in disrepair, there is damage to the equipment, Marshal Ben has asked Youzhou to transfer a batch of food emergency." Yuan Shu's face turned green, he didn't know that this was simply prepared in advance, the road to Youzhou was not close, and it was obvious that he had already prepared for the transfer of grain and grass so soon, it seemed that Sun Feng had already seen through his father's thoughts.
But fortunately, Yuan Tan hurried and came to Yumen Pass.
