Tonight's harassment tactics were figured out by Zhuang Shaoyou, who divided the four hundred cavalry into three waves, the first wave of a hundred people, to harass the Goguryeo army;

the second wave of a hundred, which continues to exhaust the enemy army and accumulate hatred; The third wave of two centurians strengthened their momentum, ignited the anger of the enemy, and lured the snake out of the hole.

If the snake fails to lure the snake out of the hole, it will regroup and continue to exhaust the enemy army, and then when the enemy army is numb, use cavalry to attract its attention, and the infantry of Qin Ling and Zhang San will raid the enemy camp and break it in one battle.

If the snake is successfully dispatched, Goguryeo will inevitably divide its troops to pursue the cavalry, and Zhuang Shaoyou will slowly attract the pursuers away with the cavalry, and then use the infantry to annihilate the pursuers, and then have the strength to fight with Goguryeo.

By the time Zhuang Shaoyou launched the first harassment, Qin Ling had already put the infantry on the shore, and Ink used a boat to the west bank to transport Zhang San's three battalions to the east bank.

When Zhuang Shaoyou led the Goguryeo army out, just after the time, Qin Ling and Zhang San had already made preparations.

The Goguryeo pursuers received a death order, so they were reluctant to chase Zhuang Shaoyou, and they didn't need Zhuang Shaoyou to taunt and lure the enemy anymore, so they chased Zhuang Shaoyou at full speed.

In this way, when Zhuang Shaoyou slipped away with his pursuers for more than half an hour, Li Yuan of the Goguryeo battalion finally discovered that something was wrong, immediately sent someone to recall reinforcements, and then ordered all the soldiers in the camp to gather immediately.

Zhuang Shaoyou led the pursuers to the east bank of the Shahe River, and then stopped.

Goguryeo's 1,000 infantry chasing cavalry were out of breath, but Qin Ling and Zhang San were not easy to pursue.

"Cavalry battalion! All of them are lined up in a three-stage arrow formation! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

The cavalrymen, who were a little choked by the toss, heard that Zhuang Shaoyou had reused the number of the cavalry battalion, and suddenly became excited, recalling the scene of the series of battles in Jizhou last year, and couldn't help but have a surge in morale, and immediately put their fatigue behind, cheered up and quickly finished the formation, skillfully setting up crossbows and loading arrows.

Zhuang Shaoyou felt a burst of pride in his heart, this is his own soldier! The soldiers brought out by myself are different, but fortunately, the foundation is thick enough, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to do this step.

Zhuang Shaoyou's army and Goguryeo County were tossed for a day and were exhausted, Zhuang Shaoyou's infantry was slightly better, and the march was not long, so it was bearable, but the cavalry battalion was a series of sports battles, although there were horses, but they were also a little unbearable.

A quarter of an hour later, the Goguryeo pursuers arrived here, and the commander saw that the Han army was facing him in a neat formation, and he wondered for a while, what does this mean? No matter, anyway, the order received is to pursue the cavalry, otherwise the military law will deal with it!

"Charge in formation!" The commander hesitated for a moment before giving the order.

Zhuang Shaoyou was relieved when he saw the Goguryeo army rushing over, at this time, if the enemy army found that it was not right to retreat or defend in place, it would be a failure!

When the Goguryeo army rushed to a place three hundred paces away from the cavalry battalion, the crossbow arrows in the first column of the cavalry battalion had already been thrown out, and although the rain of arrows was not dense, it was very sharp.

The distance of 300 steps to kill the enemy was much more than the Goguryeo army expected, and for a time the formation was a little scattered, and the commander reorganized the formation and rushed forward desperately.

However, these thousand soldiers are already sleepy and tired, and they are weak in charging, and now they are barely rushing forward, what is the difference between sending them to death?

The commander of the thousand was also in a pain in the flesh, but there was no way, gritted his teeth, and he would soon be able to rush to the front, and when the time came, he would have an advantage in numbers, not to mention that the Han army was also sleepy and lacking, and it was not much better than himself.

The Goguryeo army was getting closer, and the crossbow arrows of the cavalry battalion were getting denser and denser.

Just when the Goguryeo army rushed to a distance of more than a hundred steps, Qin Ling and Zhang San in the rear were panting and killed!

And the three warships flanking the ink on the Sand River also began to fire crossbow arrows from a long distance.

The Goguryeo army was attacked from three sides, and the army's morale was immediately in turmoil, and the commander was also frightened

Finished! I can't figure out that I'm going to be here today, no, I can't just die!

"All to the ** around! Fast! ”

The commander ordered the Goguryeo army to break through to the gap in the east, and Qin Ling and others in the back had already connected with his rear army.

Zhuang Shaoyou watched with a smile as the Goguryeo army surrounded the **, if they rushed to this side desperately, the cavalry battalion would definitely have to suffer a lot of losses, but now, hehe, slow bloodletting can kill them, two legs can run over four legs?

"The cavalry battalion obeys the order, and the front line is attacking the enemy!"

After Zhuang Shaoyou finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards the waist and abdomen of the Goguryeo army, which turned to break through, and the cavalry battalion behind began to accelerate with the weather.

More than 200 of the 1,000 Goguryeo troops were killed by the crossbow arrows of the cavalry battalion, and more than 100 were wounded, and only 600 soldiers were left who could fight

The cavalry battalion was attacked and the rest of the people were cut in half, Zhuang Shaoyou led the cavalry battalion to the east to pursue the front half, and the second half was handed over to Qin Ling and Zhang San.

In half an hour, the 300 Goguryeo troops in the rear were completely annihilated and hundreds were captured; The first half of the 300 were pursued by the cavalry and killed 200, and less than 100 of them fled.

At this time, the sound of reinforcements from the Goguryeo army was heard in the distance, and when Zhuang Shaoyou saw this, he quickly gathered his subordinates, and then retreated to the west bank of the Shahe River.

Seeing this, Qin Ling and Zhang San also hurried across the wooden bridge, and those who didn't have time to withdraw ran to the ink boat.

After a night of bloody fighting, both armies were exhausted, Goguryeo's reinforcements were in a slightly better situation, and Zhuang Shaoyou's cavalry and infantry were sleepy and lacking in strength.

When the sky was slightly bright, the two armies faced each other across the wooden bridge.

The Goguryeo army knew that the Han army's crossbow arrows had a long range, so they kept a sufficient safe distance, and Zhuang Shaoyou did not advance, but only lined up in an arrow array to meet the enemy in the west of the bridge.

One side had no intention of fighting again, and the other side was unable to fight, and after a stalemate for half an hour, Li Yuan finally calmed down, ordered a retreat, and did not go to Wanzi Town, and advanced at full speed in the northeast direction.

Zhuang Shaoyou sent people to guard the wooden bridge, and then the rest of the people buried their heads and fell asleep.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Shaoyou woke up and reported that the Goguryeo army had completely gone away and had not returned.

Qin Ling and Zhang San counted the number of casualties, and the losses were not large, and the cavalry battalion suffered zero casualties, five seriously wounded, and more than 40 lightly wounded.

Zhuang Shaoyou was silent for a while, he had done his best, but if he fought, he would die, there was no way to do it.

More than 20 of the 500 infantry of Qinling were killed, more than 30 were seriously wounded, and more than 100 were lightly wounded.

Zhang San's cavalry and infantry battalion killed more than 20 people, seriously wounded more than 40 people, and slightly wounded more than 100 people

There were no casualties among the 100 Mojia naval troops of Ink,

In total, more than 50 people were killed, 80 were seriously wounded, and more than 250 were slightly wounded.

Death and serious injuries in battle are equivalent to the loss of combat effectiveness, and minor injuries are basically fine, and they can fight again after recuperation, that is, the combat effectiveness of this battle is more than 130.

The losses of the Goguryeo army were much greater, and Zhuang Shaoyou's two raids on the camp caused nearly 200 deaths and more than 200 serious injuries.

More than 700 people were killed in the first battle of Muqiao, more than 100 were captured, and more than 100 people escaped.

Goguryeo's total losses exceeded 1,300, and the battle loss ratio was 1:10, which was a great battle.

Zhuang Shaoyou ordered his subordinates to register all the information of the soldiers killed in the battle, and went back to pay tribute to their relatives.

Then the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle were collected, piled up and burned together, and then all the soldiers held a send-off ceremony, and finally buried the ashes of the dead soldiers on a hillside on the east bank of the Shahe River.

In Beifeng County, Liaodong County, Gongsun Yan sat on the top and looked at the scouts below.

"Report to the general, the 3,000 advance troops of Goguryeo did not invade Wanzi Town, but fought fiercely with the gold thieves on the east bank of the Shahe River for a day and night, and then retreated, the Goguryeo men and horses lost nearly half, and the loss of the gold thieves is unknown, but it seems that the loss is not large."

Gongsun Yan listened to the detailed reports of several scouts, put them together for comparison, and the conclusions he reached almost made his eyes pop out.

Gongsun Yan was stunned for a long time, then came back to his senses and ordered loudly: "Go!" Give me 600 miles to send a letter to Lord Taishou, and say that the Yellow Turban Thief will have endless troubles!

Please send troops to exterminate it as soon as possible! At the very least, we must immediately reinforce Beifeng City! Wait a minute! ”

Gongsun Yan took up the pen and wrote a letter in a few moments, sealed it and handed it to the herald:

"You will hand over this letter to the county keeper, and please make a decision as soon as possible!"

On the eighth day of the first month of April, Zhuang Shaoyoujun rested for a day and a night, and his spirit recovered.

Zhuang Shaoyou and his subordinates sat in the big tent, and Guo Yuan, who was transporting supplies, was also present.

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at everyone and said, "Mr. Guo has worked hard! If it weren't for Mr. Guo being busy in the rear, we wouldn't be at ease fighting in the front! ”

Guo Yuan sighed and said, "If it's not my race, its heart will be different!" Foreign invaders, each of us Han people have the responsibility to defend the land, and the general is also to protect the people, so it's okay to work hard! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou continued: "These 3,000 Goguryeo troops are probably not welcome to be sent here, we have defeated them this time, maybe we will attract more and more powerful enemy troops, everyone had better be mentally prepared!" ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were worried.

Zhuang Shaoyou looked at everyone's expressions and sighed secretly, there is a lack of talents! It would be nice if there was a military advisor to advise him!

In fact, Zhuang Shaoyou is too anxious, it is good to have such a situation in less than half a year!

A county magistrate with a Zhuge Liang Jia Xu-level military advisor is not a good match!

Do you think you're a big-eared thief? The big-eared thief hasn't mixed up with the county magistrate yet!

Be content!

Zhuang Shaoyou pondered and meditated for a long time, and finally made up his mind, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, no matter how Goguryeo reacts, we will prepare for his return!"

Tom! You took the 3rd and 2nd battalions of infantry to cut down all the trees on the east bank of the Shahe River, within five miles of the riverbank! As long as it can be used to cross the river, nothing will be left!

Qinling! You take a hundred cavalry to the northeast to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and as soon as you find the traces of the Goguryeo army, report immediately! Safety first!

I'll take the rest of the people to stay on the wooden bridge, and the ink will stay here to rest! ”

As soon as Zhuang Shaoyou finished speaking, before everyone could answer, Ink spoke first:

"General, I want to go with Captain Zhang, and I can use the cut trees to make some water obstacles and wooden rafts, in case Goguryeo forcibly crosses the river with a large number of people, we also have some external forces to borrow."

Zhuang Shaoyou was overjoyed when he heard this: "If that's the case, then there is Brother Lao Moshui!" I'll give you all the rest of the soldiers, and I'll just keep a hundred men to guard the bridge!" ”
