Chapter 247: Who is the Yellow Sparrow?
Yang Su encountered Wei Xuan in Nanxiang, and did not give up the preparation to continue to besiege Wei Xuan after a small setback, Wei Xuan encountered an ambush on the bank of the Danshui River, and the grain sergeant and grain grass and baggage were burned and killed, and when Wei Xuan led the army to turn around and counterattack, Yang Su had already flown away.
Nanxiang has not yet gone down, and there are small groups of Qi troops attacking and cutting off grain and grass on the back road, and the Zhou army seems to be in a quagmire at this moment. If Yang Su is not defeated, Wei Xuan will not be able to attack Wei Xiangyuan wholeheartedly, and the Zhou army's grain and grass will be exhausted. Wei Xuan sent war letters to Yang Su several times, inviting him to fight in the field, but Yang Su turned a deaf ear. Wei Xuan had no choice but to send elite cavalry and infantry armor to escort grain and grass.
The snow was pervasive, the sky and the earth were vast, the whistling wind and snow hit the face, the knife was like a scrape, and the soldiers of Zhou who transported grain trekked hard against the wind and snow. Along the way, they don't know how many times they have been looted by the Qi army. However, at this moment, their biggest enemy was not the captain Xiangyuan who was defending the city tower, nor these Qi sentinels who were constantly attacking, but the frost and cold in the sky full of malice.
They left Yizhou, according to the military order along the Danshui eastward, into the range of Zhejiang, all the way encountered the pursuit and harassment of a small group of cavalry of the Qi State, day and night, less than two days, the grain transport team has suffered heavy losses, wind and snow, hunger and cold, whenever this time there will be a strong cavalry team in front and on both sides suddenly appear in front of them......
But they had no choice, and the military orders were like a mountain.
In the wind and snow, this team is like a bloated dragon, huddled together. A Zhou Jun who was pulling the horses suddenly raised his head, and looked at the place where the snow was falling in front of him, the earth trembled lightly, and there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, although the area here was relatively open, but the snow blocked their vision, and it was difficult to see the figure clearly from a hundred and ten steps away, and the dense black dots jumped in the field, getting closer and closer.
"—A large number of enemy forces are coming! Formation! Cavalry...... Catch up! ”
The officers in the Zhou army immediately drew their long knives and ordered the Zhou army to get ready, this Zhou army was mainly foot soldiers, and there were no mountains on all sides, it was a flat land, in such an environment, the same force under the hard against hard words extremely suffered.
The cavalry of the Zhou army was scattered out, and the Qi army hedged, in order to temporarily block the pace of the Qi army, and later, the Zhou army surrounded the grain trucks into a base, ready to defend the fortress, and the few cavalry of the Zhou army have become outcasts.
What they carry out is the task of escorting grain and grass, grain and grass, and baggage are their greatest protection, forming a car base, fighting according to the base, attacking and retreating, and defending.
The pursuers attacked like an iron stream, ruthlessly dividing and besieging each chariot base, harassing the sides of the cavalry, impacting the iron cavalry, and colliding with the horses, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, Wei Xuan's cronies and generals shouted in a deep voice:
"The Qi army is in the middle of the plan, pass my order, all departments defend on the spot, do not attack in vain, the crossbowmen are lined up in the central position, shoot the enemy, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are assembled on the spot, we should join forces inside and outside, and kill a bloody road!"
When the Qi army was besieging the Zhou army, they only heard the desolate sound of horns in the distance, and several Zhou troops poured down from the distant mountains and surrounded and killed in this direction.
Wei Xuan showed a sly smile on the hillside, this was a strategy he devout, this Zhou army was attacked many times, but still did not change direction, just because the route of the Zhou army's advance was originally planned by him.
The Qi army has repeatedly succeeded in intercepting grain several times, and it will inevitably give birth to arrogance, and it will be difficult to guard against. This time, they patronized the Zhou army that surrounded and annihilated the grain, but subconsciously forgot to guard against other places, Wei Xuan took advantage of this loophole and came to teach Yang Su a painful lesson, and buried these nearly 1,000 cavalry Xiaorui here! Gao Changgong went south and almost drained seventy percent of the Northern Qi soldiers and horses in Hedong and Luoyang, of which about 5,000 cavalry with strong mobility were available. Not to mention that Yang Su came to rescue Wei Xiangyuan, there were hundreds of "Baibao Xianbei", the number of this army was not much, once it was won by Wei Xuan, it would be an incalculable major blow to Gao Changgong, how could Wei Xuan miss it!?
The Qi army turned around to meet the Zhou army, and on the vast white wilderness, two steel rivers collided together, and people turned over on their backs in an instant.
It's time to win! Wei Xuan stroked his beard and said:
"Pass my order, the Destiny Grain Soldiers abandon the fortress, and as our army launches an attack, the front and rear armies will flank the enemy! Don't let anyone go! ”
The battle was fierce, the Qi army slowly withdrew towards the flank, and the Zhou army was bitten to death in the rear.
Wei Xuan watched the battle from a distance, and saw that although the Qi army was defeated, the team was scattered and orderly, and there was a very special beauty, chaotic and orderly, and the battle and retreat...... On the battlefield, for example, the army is defeated like a mountain, no matter what kind of strong army it is, once it reaches the situation of rout on the whole front, all order will be gone, and it will not be much better than those cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.
The Qi army actually has this kind of military quality that is defeated but not defeated?
Wei Xuan stared at the battle situation, holding his breath and concentrating, and suddenly, his face turned blue.
"Yang Su'er, do you dare to calculate the old man?
"-Order the rear army, stand by in place, stand by in formation, and do not move rashly!"
As soon as the words fell, several teams of sentry horses rushed out of the rear of the Zhou army, among the white snow. On the side of the sky shrouded by heavy snow, there was the rumbling sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, and countless short spears tore through the snow curtain and swept into the Zhou army's array, taking away countless lives.
"Kill!!" With the roar that shook the mountains, hundreds of iron horsemen immediately entered the battle formation of the Zhou army from the rear.
The Zhou army was in disarray, and immediately after, the retreating Qi army turned around to meet the battle.
The iron cavalry was like a tide, layer upon layer, wedged into the array of the Zhou army, brandishing long knives and horse lances, galloping wildly, flesh and blood flying, invincible! This kind of terrain is the world of cavalry, and the Zhou army has such a big ambition as grain and grass, and it can't be fully deployed, this is Yang Su's opportunity! Wei Xuan wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, why didn't Yang Su want to come to a big bag?
There is no suspense about the outcome of this battle, the defensive formation formed by the Zhou army in a hurry has no use, full of flaws, Bai Bao Xianbei rushed to the front, like a steel knife cut into the weak point of the Zhou army, dismembered the Zhou army, and the remaining Qi army swarmed up, swallowing the pieces of fat that fell into the stomach, the Zhou army had no choice, they wanted to support but it was not realistic at all, as long as there were soldiers and horses twitching, the stable array here would immediately collapse, and the Qi army would slaughter them like other arrays.
Most of the Qi army are cavalry to fight, galloping on horseback, coming and going like the wind, while the Zhou army, on the other hand, they only have two legs, even if they have enough troops to rescue, they will inevitably take care of one or the other, and they will only be beaten by the nose of the Qi army. At present, no way can save the defeat, and the Qi army rushes in. In the face of the dense formation of spears, the reins swept by, and rushed into the weak point on the other side in an arc......
Everywhere was declared a rout, and the loose Zhou army formation was repeatedly divided, compressed, and charged by the Qi army's iron cavalry...... The corpses are all over the field, Wei Xuan saw that in the face of the Qi army's devastating offensive, the soldiers of each department could only fight on their own, the space was constantly compressed, and the defensive formation was useless, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he personally led the reserve army of more than 1,000 pressure formations to rush into the battlefield, trying to break the offensive of the Qi army.
Wei Xuan was constantly panting with a long knife, covered in blood that had not yet dried up, and the image of the rest of the Zhou army was even more tragic.
The Qi army already had a tendency to shrink and encircle, and Wei Xuan knew that it was only a matter of time before he was defeated, so he had to tear open the flank of the Qi army and break out.
In this battle, the Zhou army was defeated......
