Chapter 255: Remnants of the Defeated Army (2)
"A pawn that has been buried for a long time? Is it buried next to Chun Yuqiong?" Gongsun Chan asked.
This one of the eight captains of the West Park back then was also a bit famous, and it made sense to bury chess pieces beside him early.
Xun You shook his head, "It's buried next to Ju Yi."
Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, "Ju Yi is just a little person from Liangzhou, how can it be worth burying chess pieces by your side?"
Although Ju Yi had some achievements in Jizhou before, he was by no means comparable to the Hebei Siting Pillar that Yuan Shao relied on the most.
Xun You smiled, "I didn't notice this person originally, it was the lord who asked me to plant a spy next to him. At the time, I didn't understand the point, but now it seems that the lord really made a good move."
Gongsun Chan nodded, but he didn't think much about it. has been friends for many years, and in his opinion, it is not unusual for Liu Bei to do anything.
It won't hurt him after all.
He laughed and said, "When I was studying with Xuande in the past, he often did amazing things, but it was nothing new."
Xun You nodded, "This person is a pawn planted by Wen He himself, he has been lurking under Ju Yi for many years, he has won Ju Yi's trust, and he is not an ordinary person. Now that this person has been used, it is presumable that Chun Yuqiong will soon send troops. You've got to get ready early."
Gongsun Chan smiled and said, "Even if you only use the white horse Yi, it is very easy to deal with Ju Yi. What's more, now Yanzhi's trapped camp is also there."
…………
A few days later, the two sides agreed to fight at the boundary bridge.
Gongsun Chan formed a phalanx with 20,000 infantry, and the left and right flanks were each equipped with more than 5,000 cavalry.
At the forefront, there were 800 traps under the command of Gao Shun.
Chun Yuqiong ordered Lu Yi to lead 800 elite soldiers as the vanguard, and covered the Lu Yi soldiers with a strong crossbow and 1,000 crossbows, and he personally led more than 10,000 infantry behind.
The two formations collided, and the Juyi Euphorbia first fell into the camp against Gao Shun.
Ju Yi's halberd warriors learned more Liangzhou tactics, and the deep harmony of the Qiang people's bow and arrow throwing spear skills, quite similar to the Roman phalanx, Ju Yi has improved from it.
Therefore, Ju Yi said that the Euphorbia is the nemesis of the white horse Yicong who is mainly mounted and archery, but it is not an exaggeration at all.
The trapping camp is different, the trapping camp is a heavy armor soldier, Liu Bei has been operating in Qingzhou for many years, and he has already equipped Gao Shun's trapping camp with heavy armor all over the body.
Coupled with Gao Shun's training, the flexibility of the camp may be a little worse than it was at the beginning, but when it comes to the ability to trap the camp, it is more than a few points stronger than at the beginning.
On the boundary bridge, Chun Yuqiong, who was in the rear army, looked at the camps in front of the formation, which were like iron cans, and some remorse had risen in his heart, and at the same time, he angrily scolded the Qingzhou Mu Liu Bei who spent a lot of money in his heart.
You must know that the whole body armor on these people is not only extremely costly, but also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and more importantly, even if it is manufactured, it is very likely that it will only be put in the warehouse to eat ashes.
First, this armor stomach is extremely heavy, even if it is made regardless of money, but it may not be able to find a strong man who is enough to wear this heavy armor, and even if it is found, it is a great expense to support these soldiers on weekdays.
Second, even if you can find strong men who are enough to wear these armor stomachs, and the money is enough to support these people, but these heavy armor soldiers are extremely cumbersome, and once they fall into the battlefield, surrounded by a group of soldiers, they can't advance or retreat, then they can only be lambs to be slaughtered, cut meat with blunt knives, and wait for death.
Therefore, these heavily armored soldiers can only be used in certain battlefields with special terrain, and if it is an open area in peacetime, I am afraid that even the corners of the enemy's clothes will be difficult to touch.
Thinking of this, Chun Yuqiong cursed Liu Bei again.
Now this Boundary Bridge battlefield is the most suitable battlefield for these heavy armorers.
The boundary bridge is narrow, and it is difficult for the military horses on both wings to be used, even if there are more military horses, they can only be used for a pressing formation.
The reason why they chose this place as a battlefield was to suppress Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant who was good at riding and shooting.
Another advantage of the narrow battlefield is that once Gongsun Chan is defeated, his soldiers will inevitably trample on each other in order to flee for their lives, and the more soldiers and horses Gongsun Chan brings, the greater the casualties.
I just don't want to be a little cocooned now.
Now even if Chun Yuqiong wants to retreat, he doesn't dare to order the withdrawal of troops easily.
Compared with Chun Yuqiong, who was pressing the formation behind, Ju Yi, who was in front of the formation, was much calmer.
This Central Plains man, who has traveled most of the world, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He has been floating for half his life, what is he asking for?
Only fame and wealth!
The stronger the opponent, if you can win the battle, it will be a great wealth.
Now fame and wealth are close at hand!
Ju Yi clenched the spear in his hand, turned his head to look at Chen Heng on the side, and laughed softly: "It seems that today is the heavens who want to help us make a name!" Ah Heng, follow me through the enemy formation!"
Chen Heng nodded in response, but when he got behind Ju Yi, the young man bowed his head slightly, and there was a cold and dark color in his eyes, which flashed away.
Originally, Ju Yi planned to use archers and spearmen to lie under the shield, and wait for Bai Ma Yi to come from the stepping formation, and kill him.
It's just that now that the other party has already dealt with it, the ambush soldiers are useless, and he simply let the soldiers who are lying behind the armor shield show their figures.
There are many archers and spearmen.
The opposite side is trapped in the camp, and the shield is raised.
…………
To the east of the boundary bridge, Gongsun Zhan and others, who were pressed by the White Horse Righteousness, were also staring at the battlefield not far away.
Unlike Chun Yuqiong, now in his heart, he is cursing Ju Yi who is in the middle of the battle array.
Now even a fool can see that Ju Yi's plans are aimed at his white horse righteousness.
If Gao Shun and Xun Yu are not there, he will have to fall into the path of Juyi.
Even if Gongsun Zhan is lonely, he has to admit that if he follows the path of Juyi, he is afraid that Bai Mayi will really be planted here from today.
Gongsun Chan sighed with emotion, "I really almost fell into this person's way, thanks to your presence."
Xun You just smiled, "There are so many talents in the world."
Gongsun Chan nodded, although he has always been unruly, he has to admit that this Ju Yi is indeed a character, a character who can almost make him irreversible.
Xun You continued: "This person is actually similar to Lu Bingzhou, and the person he seeks is rich and famous, so he can give up the slightest bit of courtesy, righteousness and shame that is not important in his heart. When Yuan Shao attacked Han Fu, this person raised troops to respond, and this is why Han Fu was defeated without a fight. I dare to assert that if this person is really allowed to make a name for himself under Yuan Shao in the future, once Yuan Shao's actions are not to his liking, I am afraid that he will turn against Yuan Benchu."
At this time, neither side sent troops and horses to join the battle, so more than 800 people from each side were killed on the battlefield.
Gao Shun's trapping camp, under the cover of the shield soldiers in front of him, had already gathered in front of Ju Yi's halberd.
The next thing is nothing more than a white-knives fight, life and death.
Gongsun Chan naturally had confidence in Gao Shun, and he asked with a smile, "So Gongda has a heart of love for talents, seeing that this person is rare, he wants to take this person under his command?"
He only thought that Xun You had the mind of loving talents, and as for Xun You, he said that this person did not value loyalty and righteousness, but Gongsun Zhan felt that it was not a big deal.
People in the border areas value love and righteousness, but the way to death is to die.
If you want to survive in a place where a big fist is a truth, you have to give up something.
Xun You shook his head, and he smiled: "Now there is no shortage of strategists under Xuande's account, and there is no shortage of invincible and invincible enemies. If it is difficult to start a family, it is natural to use people to be talented but not virtuous, but now that you have broken through a family business, the threshold for employing people in the future will naturally be higher."
Gongsun Zhan looked at Xun Yu in a daze, as if he felt that the person in front of him was a little strange.
He has worked with Xun You for many years, and he has always regarded Xun You as a family with some strategy.
It's just that now it seems that compared to this person's strategy, it is more terrifying than the ruthless and decisive decision that can determine life and death between talking and laughing.
…………
At this time, on the frontal battlefield, the two sides have begun to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Although the Euphorbia is more flexible, the terrain is narrow, and it is extremely difficult to use.
In addition, the trapped camp has the advantage of armor, and often the sergeant who is trapped in the camp is still fine after being stabbed a few times, while the halberd soldier of Ju Yi will immediately lose the strength of a battle after being stabbed.
At this time, the Euphorbia has been suppressed by the trapped camp in a vague way, and if it goes down like this, I am afraid that the defeat will only be in a moment.
Ju Yi personally fought in front with a knife.
Although he is not known for his martial arts, he is the commander of the Euphorbia after all, and he works hard alone, and the whole army is inspired.
Suddenly, the morale of the Jizhou Army, which had been depressed, was reinvigorated.
Compared with Ju Yi's indignation, Gao Shun, the coach of the opposite camp, just calmly commanded the team to change formations.
The face under the visor did not change in the slightest.
At this time, the two sides fought together, Ju Yi entered the battle, there was no one around to protect him, and some soldiers from the trapped camp were pressing towards Ju Yi.
Chen Heng came to Ju Yi's side and helped him force these trapped soldiers back with a single sword.
Chen Heng stared at the enemy army on the opposite side and asked, "General, has anything happened?"
Ju Yi raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face and shook his head, "It's fine."
He looked at the man on the other side who was obviously the person in the main formation, spat out blood, and smiled bitterly, "Ah Heng, today's defeat is not only because the armor is not as good as others, even if it is the strategy of the marching formation, I am also a complete defeat."
Ju Yi has always been a deep soldier, and often compares himself with Han Xin, the military god of the Han Dynasty.
I often say to myself that if I can reuse it one day, I will definitely be able to establish a career that is no less than Han Xin's.
It's just that today's battle completely destroyed his confidence.
There are so many strange people in the world.
Ju Yi sighed, "If I lose today, I can't advance, I can't retreat, I can't imagine that one day, I will also fall into such a field."
Just frustrated for a moment, and there was no need for Chen Heng to comfort him, Ju Yifu cheered up again and said in a deep voice: "It's not the end, and the victory or defeat is unknown!" I have been in a predicament more than once over the years, and I have not been supported by you and me until now. Wait until I do it again."
Chen Heng, who didn't want to be behind him, suddenly said, "General, in fact, the outcome has already been decided."
Ju Yi reluctantly turned his head when he heard this, but before he could fully turn around, he felt a pain in his waist.
It turned out that a knife had been inserted into his abdomen.
And the knife was in the hand of Chen Heng behind him.
Ju Yi is a character who has fought in Liangzhou, and the most important thing in the border area is betrayal.
It may even be possible to stab a former benefactor a few times just for a meal.
He naturally understood this truth when he was in Liangzhou, but it was just that the stable life in Jizhou over the years had been too long, which made him forget the customary rules of Liangzhou back then.
At this time, blood slowly flowed out of Ju Yi's waist, Ju Yi smiled bitterly, and he didn't even need to ask Chen Heng why he was like this.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that you are Liu Bei's person, it seems that everything is in your calculations. I only have one question, are you Liu Bei, who took refuge later, or have you always been from Qingzhou from beginning to end?"
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
Not anymore."
Chen Heng was silent.
Ju Yi has naturally been not bad to him over the years, otherwise he would not be able to serve as Ju Yi's deputy general at this age.
Moreover, comrades in the army are the most likely to have sincere feelings.
It's just that he went to Qingzhou with a group of homeless people, and it was Qingzhou Mu who gave him a bite to eat.
Without Qingzhou Mu, there would be no him today.
At this time, Ju Yi was silent.
Chen Heng slowly got up and glanced at the battlefield that was still fighting.
He was cautious in his actions, so no one saw him do it.
He has been under Ju Yi for a long time, and he has many old friends in the army. Except for Ju Yi who had to die, the others, he naturally hoped to die less.
Chen Heng shouted violently, "Stop, General Ju is dead, I will wait for the surrender."
Then he was the first to throw away the blade in his hand.
The halberd warriors were originally Ju Yi's private soldiers, but now that Ju Yi is dead, and Chen Heng, who can take over Ju Yi, actually surrendered directly, they naturally have no fighting spirit, and they put down their blades with Chen Heng.
Although there are not many Euphorbia left, they have not been completely extinguished in the end, and they can be regarded as leaving some fire.
Chun Yuqiong, who was pressing the rear formation, saw that this was the end in the end, and no longer cared about the damage in the army, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat back to the camp west of the boundary bridge.
It's better to have some damage than to lose the boundary bridge.
Now that he goes back, even if he damages Ju Yi, with his relationship with Yuan Shao, it is nothing more than some painless reprimand.
But if he loses the camp here, he is afraid that even if Yuan Shao wants to spare his life, he will not be able to save his life.
Seeing that the victory in the center of the battlefield had been divided, Gongsun Zhan immediately led Bai Mayi to outflank him from both wings.
Chun Yuqiong only ran forward and didn't dare to look back.
