Chapter 41: Defeated in a Battle
"Knock Knock"
The drums of war beat, "Kill!" I don't know who made it first, and the armies of both sides began to advance.
Gongsun Kang's department charged quickly, but Yuan Xi's department moved forward slowly and firmly.
"Shoot from the left front!"
"Shoot right forward!"
"Crossbowmen shoot freely!"
One command after another, I saw the arrows covering the sky, and the sharp sound of air tearing, mixed with screams and screams, became chaotic.
"How is that possible! How could Yuan Xi's crossbow arrows be so dense? ”
Gongsun Kang, who was sitting in the Chinese army, shouted in horror, and everyone on the left and right was also shocked, where is this battle between the two sides, it is simply a one-sided massacre.
Liaodong's headquarters can't rush in front of the opponent's army at all, except for the archers who can bring a little threat to the other party, the others can't threaten the other party at all.
On Yuan Xi's side of the Chinese army, Xu Shu and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled, Gongsun Kang will lose this battle, and he will lose very badly, this is the consensus of the two.
The reason is very simple, Gongsun father and son are used to fighting with nomads in Liaodong, and the armor rate of the army is not high, mainly because the real Han army is not much, and most of them are expanded after Gongsun Du is recruited.
Without the equipment of the imperial court, the Liaodong iron mine was not found in this era, and the enemies dealt with were nomads, so both father and son were selectively not equipped with iron armor.
They can deal with the nomads who come and go like the wind, but it is very difficult to deal with the Han army armed to the teeth, and with Yuan Xi's crossbow, the confrontation between the two armies is simply looking for death.
The smarter ones should rely on the city to resist, but Gongsun Kang chose the stupidest field battle, and he thought that the Youzhou army was still as easy to bully as before.
Pang Tong was full of smiles, feeling that this was the most correct choice in his life, he came to Youzhou half a year ago, and after seeing the smiles on the faces of the people of Youzhou, he made the decision to assist Yuan Xi.
This guy is a person who doesn't take the usual path, after hearing about Yuan Xi's reputation, he traveled north, and he could have directly asked Xu Shu to recommend him.
But like a donkey, he just wanted to test whether Yuan Xi had a discernment, so he gave up looking for Xu Shu, but wrote a letter of self-recommendation and sent it to Youzhou Mufu.
Then he was ready to go shopping, thinking that Yuan Xi didn't know him, and he still had time to walk around, waiting for the other party to hear back after reading the self-recommendation letter.
But he didn't expect that Yuan Xi didn't look at it at all, only looked at the name of the self-recommender, and rushed out of the state pastor's mansion directly, grabbed him who hadn't walked a few steps, and dragged him into the state pastor's mansion.
To be honest, Pang Tong was shocked at the time, he had never seen such a robbery, and he was not a beautiful girl.
But Yuan Xi's eyes were hotter than looking at beauties, and he was embarrassed to be flattering, so he was captured.
……
"Shields up!"
"Pikeman...... Stab! ”
Finally, taking advantage of the opportunity to exchange crossbowmen for crossbow arrows, the scattered cavalry of Gongsun's department rushed into front of the Youzhou army formation, but they found that they couldn't break through.
The heavy infantry in the front of the Youzhou army was all in the same color, and the shield hand erected a giant shield one person high, his strong shoulders against the giant shield, and behind him was the spear that the spearman kept stabbing out.
The neighing of the war horse, the screams of the knights, and the muffled snort, the most terrifying thing is these heavy armor soldiers in Youzhou, and the whole person was knocked away and only snorted.
Where is this Han army, it is simply a demon from hell.
The front army of the Liaodong Army collapsed, who was willing to fight such a battle, it was too scary, except for some people with excellent psychological quality, most of them began to flee.
Gongsun Kang Shout shouted, the sword of the law enforcement team was useless, too many people joined the fleeing army, and if they were not killed, it would be the blessing of the ancestors.
"Cavalry pursuit!"
"Surrender or kill!"
With the loud shouts, the Liaodong Army accelerated the speed of collapse, and Yuan Xi rushed out first, which made the morale of the Youzhou Army like a rainbow.
"Kill!"
"Gongsun Xiao'er stays alive!"
Gan Ning rushed to the middle army of the Liaodong Army desperately, Wei Yan was in a hurry, and shouted scoldingly: "Xingba, you are shameless!" Gongsun Xiao'er is mine! ”
"Whoever says it's yours, your left army and my right army, whoever is fast is whoever!"
"The left army is close to the right army, you are the ...... you charge in advance"
……
The movements of the two of them did not stop, and their mouths did not stop, and the brothers Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and hurriedly chased after Yuan Xi.
Don't compete with this brother, his own father-in-law is the most important.
A big gun in Yuan Xi's hand flew up and down, and the people who blocked in front of him couldn't stop him at all, the force value of a proper first-class general, which was also one of the reasons why Xu Shu and others agreed to him personally charging into battle.
Hua Mulan followed closely behind him, blocking the attack from the side for him, and the incomparable tacit understanding between the husband and wife made the spectators even more amazed.
Suddenly, Yuan Xi stopped, took off his longbow and opened his bow and arrows, and shot at Gongsun Kang, who was less than two hundred paces.
As for Yuan Xi's archery from such a distance, he is not worried at all, even if you can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, but this is two hundred steps, you think you are a Dayi who shoots the sun.
Whoosh –
After three arrows in a row, there was a scream, Gongsun Kang fell on his back, and the big flag behind him fell, and the rope was broken.
"Lord ......"
An arrow from Gongsun Kang's throat passed through his throat, seeing that he was no longer alive, and the fall of the banner made the rebel army in the distance lose its backbone.
No one expected this scene to happen, and the battle of Liaodong ended so strangely.
With the death of Gongsun Kang, no part of the Liaodong army laid down its arms and surrendered, and Yuan Xi did not participate in the follow-up, and in less than two months, the entire Liaodong fell.
The biggest shock of this battle was the subject states of Wuhuan, Buyeo and Goguryeo, and Zhang Liao on the Qingzhou side had just defeated Denglai's Liaodong army, and he had not completely cleaned up his territory.
When Cao Cao received the news and wanted to send troops to Bohai County, Gan Ning had already led his troops south to Bohai County to help Yuan Tan defend Nanpi.
In this battle, the Wuhuan Bandun Department witnessed the strength of the Youzhou army, and the Youzhou army that poured out of the nest did not use the armies of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou.
With only 40,000 Youzhou soldiers and 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry, Gongsun Kang's 130,000 army was defeated in a battle, and all that was left was to pursue and recover all the way.
In October of the tenth year of Jian'an, Yuan Xi recommended Pang Tong as the Taishou of Liaodong, and Liu Biaocai was surprised to find that Feng Xiao actually went to Youzhou.
And the news came that the chief planner of the battle of Liaodong was Pang Tong, and a series of names behind it surprised people all over the world that Youzhou was already full of talents.
The four counties of the Han Dynasty have been merged into two counties in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Lintun County was merged into Xuansu County, and Zhenfan County was merged into Lelang County, but in the Gongsun Du period, the former Zhenfan County was divided and renamed Obifang County.
It is equivalent to the current four counties of Han are actually three counties, Yuan Xi has not changed, but the headquarters of Youzhou has canceled Zhongliao County, leaving only Liaoxi County and Liaodong County.
