Chapter 426: Warden

is a good Xu Huang, at the moment of life and death, he is not afraid of danger.

Not only did he fall backwards, but he also grabbed the arm of the Han cavalry general in the process, and then pulled him off the horse directly in the process of falling.

At the moment when Xu Huang fell to the ground, he directly put his feet between the hips of the rider and threw his back out.

With such a fall, the rider's neck was broken by smashing on the ground.

This is the reason why the most important martial arts in the army is because this skill is too lethal.

Xu Huang, who was almost alive, didn't breathe a sigh of relief when he saw another knife coming, but it was another Han rider who had already drawn his knife and slashed it obliquely.

At this time, Xu Huang had no time to react, so he could only raise his arm armor to block the knife.

The excellent craftsmanship of the Taishan Army Armory Workshop saved Xu Huang.

The knife directly pulled out a trace of spark on the arm armor, but it failed to break the armor.

Xu Huang didn't dare to lie on the ground anymore, he had already seen that the Han cavalry on the opposite side was about to rush to trample him. He stepped forward, first pulled the stunned Han rider off the horse, and then stepped on one stirrup and got on his mount.

Obviously, compared to the Taishan army cavalry, which was already equipped with bilateral stirrups and horseshoes, the Han cavalry at this time was still the same.

Although it is not as stable as a bilateral stirrup, this is the time to escape, so what does it matter.

Don't care about looking at it anymore, Xu Huang is about to run to a place where the sound of boiling is loud.

If there is a loud resistance, it means that there are still brothers.

But at this time, a sudden burst out of the night:

"Captain Xu, don't panic, my king should come to help you."

Before the sound fell, a hundred horsemen rode sideways from the flank of the white horse.

The first general was Wang Dang, and at this moment he was holding an iron gun in his hand, fighting bravely, taking advantage of his suddenness, to kill five or six people in a short time.

In the dark, Bai Mayi never saw how many enemy reinforcements there were, but slightly.

And the remnants of the Flying Tiger Army in the whirlpool of soldiers also quickly converged under the military flag. Xu Huang had just killed too happily, and he had too many military flags in front of him, so he finally rushed back to his military flag and prepared to reorganize.

Here, Xu Huang was ready to fight again, but Tian Jun, the cavalry commander who supervised the formation, kept observing the situation on the battlefield.

He realized that something was wrong.

The situation on the battlefield at this time is like this.

The Wyvern Army has broken through the camp to the west and killed in the middle. The Flying Tiger Army was attacked head-on by the enemy's elite, and the casualties were not small, and the Flying Leopard Army continued to intersperse, and it had also reached the middle lane.

But it is clear that neither Li Hu nor Xi Shen has been able to catch the commander on the opposite side, while the enemy's reinforcements have been coming.

The battalion arranged by Gongsun Zhan was roughly light in the southwest and heavy in the northeast, and the total strength in the southwest may be only 1,500 cavalry, but in the northeast there are 3,500.

This is one of the reasons why the Tarzan Rush charged so smoothly in the southwest.

But now with Gongsun Chan leading the White Horse Yicong to resist the enemy army, this leaves time for the cavalry in the northeast.

At this time, they have gathered in the central part one after another, and they will be able to support at any time.

Tian Jun thought about it, knowing that the raid of this operation was almost over, and if he continued to fight, he would have to fight these Youzhou raiders.

Playing hard, Tian Jun is not afraid of the opposite side, but the time is not ripe yet, and it is not cost-effective to hit hard.

So, Tian Jun ordered the sixteen soldiers on the side to blow the horn together, ordering the operation to end and the troops to withdraw as planned.

In the dark night, the melodious sound of snails spread throughout the camp.

Even Xi Shen, who was searching in Gongsun Zhan's big tent, heard it.

At this moment, Xi Shen's soldiers had turned the big tent into a mess, but they still didn't find the location of the enemy commander.

At this time, the sound of snails came, and Xi Shen's face was a little ugly.

He tried to catch the opposite coach in this battle, but in the end he didn't get anything. Not only that, but he also hated Xu Huang's side, although the other side may not know these things now.

Just when Xi Shen's face was gloomy, Li Gu, the henchman on the side, was also one of the evil young men who followed Xi Shen when he fell into the grass, so he persuaded:

"Captain, just now Tian Shuai's withdrawal method has been sounded, and we have already stood out to a very high position. If we don't leave, we'll probably end up here. ”

Of course, Xi Shen understood this truth, so he hated and said:

"Take away all the inscriptions and charts in the tent, and burn the rest to me."

The soldiers received the order, and the operation was over in a short time.

When Xi Shen retreated, the entire southwest camp of the Han army was full of flames, which were all released by the Taishan army when they left suddenly.

The same is true for Li Hu's side, after hearing Tian Shuai's retirement order, he hurriedly asked:

"Where is the third son, and which of you has seen it?"

The generals shook their heads, saying they hadn't seen them.

At this moment, Li Hu was entangled, and he didn't dare to ignore Zhang Shao's life or death, nor did he dare to ignore the life and death of his brothers.

also saw Li Hu's entanglement, and a rider took the initiative to ask:

"Captain, you take the brothers first, and I'll take two people to look for them in the back."

The person who said this was Wang Jing, an old brother in the forest back then, and he had feelings for Zhang Shao, so he was willing to take a huge risk to save him.

But Li Hu refused without thinking about it, and he said arbitrarily:

"The conch has sounded, and you must retreat according to the order, even if there is a big reason, you can't disobey it. And no matter how expensive the third son is, he is also a soldier of my Taishan army, life and death, and he asks for more blessings. No one in our army can be special! ”

After speaking, Li Hu did not speak to the generals and ordered a retreat.

But at this moment, the brothers in front of them exclaimed, and they saw a heroic young general rushing out in the long firelight, still holding a drop of blood in his hand.

Who is this person who is not Zhang Shao?

His people rode like a dragon, and they rushed to Li Hu as soon as they rode on, and without waiting for Li Hu to scold, he handed the upper level in his hand to Li Hu:

"Brother, look who I killed!"

By the light of the fire, Li Hu took a closer look, but he didn't know him, but just by looking at his face and teeth, he knew that he was a noble scholar.

But Li Hu didn't want to grow Zhang Shao's arrogance, so he still scolded:

"Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and this is not a place for you to be brave and child's play. When I return, I will tell the king that I will kill you for your arrogance. ”

Zhang Shao, who was still self-conscious, heard this, his face fell, and he said with a bitter face:

"I killed Lu Fang, the enemy's heavy general."

Li Hu was overjoyed at this moment, of course he knew who this Lu Fang was. This person is Lu Zhi's relative, and he is his core general in Youzhou Turquoise, and his status is comparable to that of Gongsun Zhan.

Unexpectedly, the third son could kill this person.

I had the heart to ask a few more questions, but seeing that there were more and more Han cavalry on the opposite side, Li Hu finally ordered a retreat.

Due to the good military discipline of the Taishan army, the Taishan army withdrew cleanly not long after the conch sounded.

And the Han army over there didn't dare to pursue at night, knowing the trick of the Taishan army, how could they dare to chase? What if there's another ambush behind you?

And so the night ended.

But the real pain of the Han army did not begin to be felt until early in the morning.

Gongsun Zhan's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he sat by the ashes and listened to the losses that the military officials had sorted out one after another.

In last night's night attack, Gongsun Zhan's subordinates suffered a total of 800 dead and wounded, 600 missing, and 3,000 war horses were lost. This battle damage can no longer be described as a broken muscle, it is already the extent that it has broken the backbone.

Gongsun Chan knew that he was to blame this time, and this time he had to be carried by himself for this big defeat.

Although Gongsun Chan can say that if he didn't charge on the front line with a white horse, the casualties would be much greater. But if he slacks off and doesn't fix the fort and rests, he can't hide.

Gongsun Chan ordered the generals to clean up the battlefield and let people start building trenches and fortifications, and then wrote a letter of guilt and sent it to Lu Zhi.

At this time, Lu Zhi had already moved to the area of Xianyu Pavilion and Xinshi with the Zhenbei Army, which was ten miles away from Sanhe Pavilion.

So soon, Gongsun Chan received a military order from Lu Zhi and asked him to come to Xinshi to plead guilty.

In this way, after explaining the affairs of the army, Gongsun Chan rode north alone on a white horse and rode north.

As for the more than 3,000 cavalry troops here in Sanhe Pavilion, they were finally led by Gai Tong.

……

Over there, the Youzhou Turquoise suffered a big loss and licked his wounds, but the Flying Army Turf here was very lively.

Along the way, everyone laughed and laughed, and Zhang Shao kept bragging about how brave he was, and how he saw Lu Fang at a glance, and finally won the biggest victory in this battle.

They can't be blamed for being so happy, according to the statistics of this battle, except for the Flying Tiger Army, which suffered the largest losses and suffered more than 100 cavalry, the other armies did not suffer too many casualties.

And the result? Although they did not know exactly how many people were killed or wounded, they knew that the enemy's losses were not small just by looking at the fire of half of the battalion.

Along the way, the blood on the reins, bridles, and armor of the soldiers had already coagulated, but there were still countless nasty flies and insects circling around them, eager to lick this rare harvest again.

But these soldiers sang loud military songs, so that these scavengers did not dare to approach.

As soon as he spoke, Tian Jun was also full of smiles.

He hadn't fought such a big victory for a long time, and since the division of the assault cavalry system into ten battalions, he left the front line and moved into the center.

Although his days in the center have greatly increased Tian Jun's high-level vision, making him more able to deeply understand the overall situation of the military, Tian Jun's blood still flows with the blood of a martial artist, and what he longs for is the pride of raising 100,000 troops and running rampant in the world.

This time, in order to deal with the cavalry corps of the Youzhou Turquoise, Wang Shang specially combined the battalion leaders who had acted separately in the past into a group again, and he Tian Jun finally had a chance to make a long-cherished wish.

Before the war, Tian Jun was still nervous, worried that he would be away from the front line for a long time, and he was afraid that he would be unfamiliar. But looking at it now, he Tian Jun is still very good.

Now he was to return with his horsemen to the vicinity of Wulidun, where they were to await the arrival of the king's army.

……

In the first year of Taiwu, on the 24th of July, the sky had just dawned.

The Lang officials who were still sleeping in the tent, such as Xun You, Ruan Yu, Lu Cui, Feng Fang and others, as well as the secretaries who caught the pen, were all awakened by the rampage sergeants.

The king has a calling.

After that, everyone washed up briefly, and then went to the Chinese army tent to wait.

Zhang Chong ordered:

"The whole army set out to cross the river at three o'clock in the morning."

All the officials knew that today was the day of the army's departure, but no one knew the exact time. At this moment, after Zhang Chong gave the order, the Lang officials led by Xun You began to divide the time of crossing the river in each department.

The specific order of crossing the river in each ministry has already been discussed by Xun You. They will be distributed according to the information of each regiment, and the earlier the battalion head is formed, the sooner they will cross the river.

This is not only Zhang Chong's affirmation of their history, but also his trust in them.

At this time, Zhang Chong is no longer the light car he used to be, as a master of power, his entourage is a small court.

Therefore, after Zhang Chong confirmed the time of crossing the river, the military officials under each account began to be busy, some of them packed the case papers, some went to prepare the horses, and some prepared the accompanying luggage.

Then at dawn, followed by Cai Qu and Guo Zu of the pro-army department in front of the tent, Zhang Chong stepped on the war horse and led the four soldiers of iron spear, iron armor, trap, and iron forest out of Zhending City.

At this time, a huge army of nearly 30,000 people was already ready outside the city.

Since learning that the Youzhou Army was heading south, Zhang Chong began to draw troops from the rear.

First, the 1,000 people of the Lejin Department stationed in Jingcheng were transferred to Zhending, and then some field regiments in other cities were also transferred. Even the battalions of some of the older base areas, such as the soldiers in the Heji and Puyang areas, were sent north.

Since he knew that the other side had already made an all-out move, Zhang Chong naturally had to go all out.

Except for Guan Yu's 10,000 legions in the Taishan area that was still guarding there, almost all the troops in other regions were transferred by Zhang Chong.

Thus, by the 24th of July, the number of troops outside the city had swelled to 30,000.

In addition, there were more than 10,000 people and 2,000 horsemen from Zhang Dan and Dong on the north bank at this time. The Taishan army has gathered a huge army of nearly 50,000 people, and it is already close to Lu Zhi's Youzhou army in terms of the number of troops.

Although there are only about 30,000 real elite soldiers in it, why is this not the case for the other party?

To put it bluntly, Zhang Chong, who occupies the land above and below the river, has followed a bottom-up organizational structure, and the war potential is not comparable to Lu Zhi at all.

And Zhang Chong's prestige is not comparable to Lu Zhi.

From the moment Zhang Chong ordered the soldiers, the soldiers of Juancheng, who were far away, changed into new military uniforms in their boxes, took the armbands of the name of the regiment to which they belonged and other battlefield attire, and then joined the flow of people to cross the river and march along Guangyang Road.

Because they were marching on the inner line, they all drove to Zhending at a speed of forty miles a day in six days.

Many of these Juanxian battalions can even be traced back to the old Taishan period, and they stayed in the Heji area after the division of troops that year. These people hadn't seen Zhang Chong for almost two years.

So they went all the way so that Zhang Chong could see their group of loyal warriors as soon as possible.

And there are too many battalions like the Juancheng Legion. They are all like streams flowing into the sea, along Guangyang Road to the north of Zhending.

In short, after five or six years of hard work, it finally came to fruition today.

The king and the soldiers, the armies are really decided. A protracted Armageddon will also be the largest decisive battle in the book so far, please support it with a monthly pass.
