Chapter 364: Cavalry Raid Chun Yuqiong
Chun Yuqiong dispatched 18,000 people in one go, and he himself was dressed neatly and rode on a war horse to follow in the phalanx behind him. He also saw with his own eyes how Huang Zhong was defeated.
The enemy on the opposite side was really a paper tiger, and when he saw so many people coming out of Chun Yuqiong's camp at once, he really gave up the attack and turned around and ran.
This somewhat surprised the Jizhou soldiers, and also made everyone understand that Hanoi County was here to harass tonight.
But past experience tells them that Wei Xuanjun is very powerful, what is the situation now? Immediately a military marquis sent someone to ask Chun Yuqiong if he wanted to chase, Chun Yuqiong thought that his own soldiers were really not good at fighting in the dark night, so he ordered a bonfire to be lit outside the camp, and the whole army marched three miles with a clamour, and the enemy would fight if he advanced, and the enemy would return to the camp if he retreated.
Hearing Chun Yuqiong's instructions, Guo Tu did not object, but he suggested that the camp out of three miles should be changed to two miles out of the camp.
In Guo Tu's view, the enemy's blatant harassment does require a strong response, but it is a fact that the night is not good for his side. If you go too far out of the camp, you may be taken advantage of by the enemy. Chun Yuqiong nodded when she saw Guo Tu say this, and hurriedly changed the military order.
Jizhou Bing ???????????????? Seeing the enemy retreating, the original depression was swept away, and the morale was high and the spirit was high and advanced rapidly. However, there is Sima who specifically calculates the distance and controls the speed. The Hanoi army on the opposite side was retreating, but the speed was not fast, obviously guessing the mind of Chun Yuqiong and the others who did not dare to fight at night.
However, because of Chun Yuqiong's strict order, the Jizhou soldiers at the front directly ignored the enemy's provocation and stopped steadily two miles away from the camp. So much so that the phalanx assembled behind did not leave the camp at all. The whole team started a group of mockery at the opposite Hanoi County.
The enemy on the opposite side did not continue to advance after seeing the Jizhou soldiers out of the camp, so they stopped and began to perform, which was exactly the queue performance they usually trained.
More than 10,000 people began to dance with torches less than five miles from Chun Yuqiong's camp, and then there was a shout of "kill, kill, kill ......".
Chun Yuqiong was depressed in his heart, he simply returned to the camp and stood on the watchtower again to watch the enemy's performance. Guo Tu also came back. He suggested that Chun Yuqiong simply order some of the soldiers to be sent back to the camp, and only left some to confront Huang Zhong. Chun Yu also listened, and ordered some of the soldiers close to the camp to come back, and to light more torches outside the camp.
At this moment, a scout covered in blood rushed in from the east gate of the camp, and came directly to the watchtower and said to Chun Yuqiong: "General Chunyu, the little General Feng Zhang came to inform that Zhang Liao led more than 10,000 cavalry to annihilate 2,000 people from Yan Liang out of the city this morning, and then came to the north. General Zhang said that it may be directed against your ministry. ”
Chun Yuqiong frowned and showed a fierce look: "Since it happened in the morning, why did you guess it until now?" Do you know what the crime of delaying a fighter plane is? ”
The scout bowed his head: "General, the enemy has too many scouts along the way, and the small ones can only enter here after several detours under the cover of their companions, and only the small one is left in our group of seven people." ”
Chun Yuqiong snorted coldly: "If you delay the fighter, you dare to quibble, pull it down and cut it." ”
Guo Tu shook his head and then said with a serious expression: "General, immediately withdraw the troops." Late, Zhang Liao's cavalry may arrive. ”
Chun Yuqiong is not stupid, it was weird for Huang Zhong to suddenly appear tonight, and now what this scout said can explain all this, fortunately, he did not order the pursuit, otherwise if he was out of the camp for more than ten miles, he would be raided by Zhang Liao's cavalry...... Then there will definitely be no chance to return to the camp.
Chun Yuqiong did not dare to delay at all, and immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
However, before the sound of the gold could be heard, it was muffled by the roar on both sides of the camp. That kind of familiar roar, the tens of thousands of Jizhou soldiers present are very familiar with this sound. Then came the shaking of the earth and the shaking of the mountains!
Cavalry, large forces of cavalry, cavalry on both sides. Zhang Liao's cavalry has arrived! Sure enough, there was an ambush!
Chun Yuqiong shouted with a panicked face: "Mingjin retreats, Mingjin retreats!" Quick, go and give the order, and everyone will return to the camp at once! ”
It's not that Chun Yuqiong is out of shape, he is too familiar with this kind of voice, and it sounds like there are a lot of war horses, and now the two sides are fighting for speed, and those who can't retreat to the camp after the enemy cavalry arrives on the battlefield will definitely die.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the Jizhou soldiers swarmed into the camp. Then they saw the firelight, and the starlight advanced into a piece.
Chun Yuqiong closed her eyes in pain again, because of the ???????????????? of the camp The width of the gate is limited. The fence on the west side is the strongest, and it is too late to remove the fence temporarily, and it will take a long time for 20,000 people to pass through the gate, and this time is the speed of life and death!
And Chun Yuqiong was also startled when cavalry appeared on both sides, the number of people is not easy to count during the day, and it is more accurate to count torches at night. It's not more than 10,000, it's more than 10,000 on each side!
The cavalry arrived in the blink of an eye like a whirlwind, and after approaching the Jizhou soldiers, the cavalry on both sides immediately slaughtered the Jizhou soldiers.
It was Zhang Liao and Weitong who came, Zhang Liao was in the south, and Weitong was in the north. The Weitong on the back is better, and there are some light cavalry, but those heavy cavalry in the south, many Jizhou veterans here have seen it outside the Inner Yellow City, so they didn't think to resist, so they directly threw away their weapons and picked up their companions and desperately headed for the Yuanmen cannon.
If it was 20,000 cavalry against two infantrymen, the two sides might be able to stalemate for a while. In this case, the cavalry on both sides is like two scissors, one in the north from the west, the other in the south and from the east, cutting the Jizhou soldiers into several pieces at once.
This is 20,000 cavalry, but not all cavalry can be exhibited at the first time, and Weitong also specially arranged more than 3,000 light cavalry on the periphery to intercept those who tried to escape into the darkness for several weeks. Zhang Liao, on the other hand, was even more domineering, cutting directly along the distance of Yuanmen, intercepting all the weeks that he had time to enter the camp in the future. The weeks that had been in the camp had not been used at all.
The cavalry came quickly, and the battle ended quickly, because Chun Yuqiong ordered the Jizhou soldiers not to be too far away from the camp, so when the rumbling horses' hooves came, Chun Yuqiong immediately issued an order to retreat, and there were still many people who entered the camp through the gate and the fence. And Zhang Liao and the others didn't seem to have any intention of attacking Chun Yuqiong's camp, so they packed up the Jizhou soldiers outside the camp and left.
After a simple count, there were about 6,000 Jizhou soldiers killed and captured outside the camp.
This is already the best result, Chun Yuqiong glanced at Guo Tu gratefully, if it wasn't for Guo Tu's dissuasion, if it wasn't for Guo Tu's dissuasion, all 20,000 people would have left the camp for three miles, if some people hadn't come back in advance, then there would be fewer people who could return to the camp now! Guo Tu said to Chun Yuqiong with a sad face: "Be sure to notify the lord and Zhang He to come to help as soon as possible, otherwise it will be impossible for our army to retreat after dawn tomorrow." ”
Chun Yuqiong smiled bitterly, this has lost so much before the war. Thinking that Guo Tu was also trusted by Yuan Shao, he said: "How can I tell Ben Chu about this enemy's night attack?" ”
Guo Tu thought for a while and said: "This is the responsibility of Tian Feng and Zhang He, Tian Feng advocated waiting, but waited for Wei Xuan's cavalry to cross the river from Chen Liu. Zhang He couldn't stop the enemy's cavalry in the south, and he couldn't even deliver the information in time. If you can return to Yecheng safely this time, it will be fine, if there is a mistake in the middle, you must let the lord ask the two of them. ”
】
Chun Yuqiong's eyes lit up, and his command was wrong tonight. However, he ordered the camp to be established under the condition of safety in the south, and as a result, more than 20,000 cavalry of Zhang Liao and Weitong appeared on the battlefield, which was indeed Zhang He's man.
However, it is important to say that the person who suggested the division of troops is also responsible. But now I want a scapegoat, of course, it can't be myself and my own Guo Tu who joined the army, then it can only be Tian Feng and Zhang He.
???????????????? So Chun Yuqiong ordered the camp to strengthen the vigilance, and on the other hand, he began to give Zhang He some letters asking for help, and on the other hand, he complained to Yuan Shao.
Zhang He in the south was also marching overnight, and halfway through, he got Chun Yuqiong's plan to pursue Huang Zhong, and he was scared into a cold sweat on the spot, it's over, it's over, it's obvious that Chun Yuqiong has no news that Zhang Liao has crossed the river to the north. Huang Zhong suddenly appeared in Chun Yuqiong's camp, and he provoked many times, and it was clearly calculated with the cavalry.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, Zhang He received Chun Yuqiong's letter again, this time it was a request for help, Zhang He knew that Chun Yuqiong was really attacked by Zhang Liao's cavalry and lost more than 6,000 people. At this time, Zhang He did not dare to carelessly send scouts to reconnoiter the front, and even sent many scouts to the rear of his own march.
At the same time, after receiving Chun Yuqiong's letter, Yuan Shao of Yecheng also sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Yecheng for the first time, and also let all the county soldiers in Yecheng rush to the battlefield with Gao Gan. After dawn, Yuan Shao convened all the civil and military forces to discuss, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu also turned pale after seeing Chun Yuqiong's letter to Yuan Shao, they didn't expect Wei Xuanjunde's cavalry to come so quickly, and they didn't expect Guo Tu to be so late.
Fu Zhi and Tian Feng glanced at each other, and they both saw uneasiness in each other's eyes. Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao again and found that he had been gloomy, so he stood up and said, "Ming Gong, Wei Zhongdao would rather give up Chen Liu than win Hanoi." If it is not easy to fight next, Feng can go to the battlefield to counsel military affairs if he is willing. However, he also asked Ming Gong to mobilize some more soldiers and horses from other counties just in case. ”
Of course, Yuan Shao also knew that it would be difficult to fight next, since Zhang Liao and Wei Tong had arrived, then Wei Xuan would have the advantage of excitement, and he could completely retreat to Hanoi and wait for the rabbit.
Even if the Jizhou soldiers withdrew now, they would inevitably be pursued by cavalry, and the pursuit of 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 or 50,000 infantry would easily be cut off during the march.
Yuan Shao thought for a while and said, "Yuan Hao, you can go to the Jun Yi army, and let him camp with Chun Yuqiong as soon as possible." If the Wei Xuan army comes to attack, the two sides must act in unison. Ben will send another 20,000 elites from other counties to fight Wei Xuan. ”
There was no need for Yuan Shao to tell these things, Tian Feng would also persuade Zhang He, so he nodded and set off.
