Chapter 118: Quietly changing the situation, attacking and defending is changing
It is difficult to find a white horse in the army, but it is not nothing, how can Su Chen find a horse to come out, which is in line with the white-robed general in his mind.
When the white horse came, Zhao Yun raised his white head, patted it on the horse's back, and laughed twice.
"The clouds are old, but the white horse is still there."
After speaking, with one hand, he jumped up, sat on the saddle, he turned the silver helmet and white tassel, "Yun is sick on the couch, still thinking about the Northern Expedition, when he is dying, he only hopes to ride a horse again, go to the north, and complete His Majesty's grand wish!" β
"Zilong should be careful when he goes!"
Liu Bei closed his eyes, after he went, Shu Han relied on the support of the older generation, and he had to fight on the battlefield at such an age, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
Next to him, Cao Cao laughed: "General Zhao is a hero, but I still listen to Xuande Gong's words, and it is better to be careful with thousands of troops!" β
"Hehe, back then, Yun was unharmed in the million-dollar army, and today he is unharmed!"
Zhao Yun grabbed the gentian spear with his hand, clamped the horse's belly between his feet, and the moment he pulled out the gun, the horse galloped away, the cloak was unfurled, and the flying bear army chasing Li Dao turned into a small dot in everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"The million-strong army he just mentioned." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and stroked his chin and long beard, "How does Lone feel a little familiar." β
Turning his gaze, Liu Bei's old god floated in front of him.
"Another old pawn!" Xiahou Yuan looked at the figure in the distance, and said something hatefully, and then he was patted on the shoulder by Cao Cao, who put his arm around his shoulder, "Miaocai, follow Gu to the back of the car, there is something to ask you......"
At this time, except for Xiahou Yuan, there was no one to send on the side of the middle formation, Zhao Yun and Li Dao went to ambush, and Zhou Cang had sent him to the south to join Niu Gai before.
At present, there are only 15,000 mixed army formations of Yantang Pass and Longyang troops left, as well as 1,800 shield halberders.
"If I have 100,000 people on the other side, let alone Yan State, I dare to sweep over Wei State in one go."
Looking at the offensive direction of each army and horse on the map, Su Chen called the herald, "Bring news to Dong Zhuo and Zhang Liao, take a detour to the middle, meet Gao Shun, and the three armies will merge into one force and approach the opponent's center." The strategy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should take effect. β
After receiving the order, he mounted his horse and galloped out.
Su Chen thought about whether to unlock an emperor to deal with emergencies, after all, it was quite troublesome to have no generals available.
Just as he was in thought, on the other side of the battlefield, the messenger scout struggled to beat the war horses under him, and more and more frequently came and went in the middle of tens of thousands of troops.
Guo Xin stood on the chariot and read every message carefully. From time to time, he turned his head to look at the map spread out on the side, and frowned: "What the hell is the front formation doing, it's been two hours, and the middle formation hasn't broken through yet!" β
Judging from the battle reports sent one after another, the battle advanced by Yushanyuan was not as smooth as expected, and a group of 4,000 troops on both wings could not fight, and they kept hovering on the edge of the battlefield to form a deterrent.
Originally, the old man's plan took advantage of this, using 30,000 county soldiers and horses as bait to attract the two soldiers and horses blocking the gate to support the interception, revealing the vacancy of the middle gate.
However, he didn't expect that the 14,000 men he sent had not yet pulled out that army and horses.
"That's not right!"
Guo Xin noticed the changes in the middle road, and immediately summoned Ling Cai: "Hu Ben and Long Xiang will send out another battalion to build a defense line in the middle road, and the two armies of the other side will make a detour." β
Facing the rebels on the opposite side, the old marshal realized that it was not how powerful the other party's main general was, but the generals of each army, for the battlefield judgment, the ability to lead the troops to fight was quite outstanding.
Just when he focused his attention on the battlefield in the middle, on the north and south flanks of Yushan Plain, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led 2,000 Xiliang soldiers to fight a fierce battle in the mountains and forests with the 5,000 Shibuya troops who were chasing and killed.
Zhang Fei commanded the soldiers to divide the battlefield, Guan Yu rushed to the battlefield and slashed the generals, directly defeated the soldiers and horses head-on, and then turned around and started the pursuit, driving this group of rout soldiers to run all over the mountains, between the mountains and forests, the corpses on the creeping ground can be seen everywhere, extending to the east, paving a long road of corpses.
Shen Shi.
On the edge of the Yushan original battlefield fifteen miles to the south, four thousand people from two battalions of the slave army, and the soldiers and horses of Niu Gai and Zhou Cang were killed together, and the arrows of the warning on both sides continued to shoot into the sky, and the 1,000 Yanshan iron cavalry that heard the news had not yet entered the battlefield, and they met Ma Chao and 1,300 cavalry under his command, and pounced directly on the Yanshan cavalry with the attitude of mountain collapse, killing more than 100 cavalry, and the other party directly evacuated three miles to rest.
Soon after, faced with an almost equal number of 4,000 merger troops and 1,300 cavalry, the slave army simply surrendered.
The sky is falling.
Looking at the sturdy figure of Wu Yang put down his weapon and sat lazily on the ground, Ma Chao urged the horse to go over and looked at them condescendingly.
"Which of you can speak Yanguo?"
"I'll be a little, Yan Guoren!" A slave man who looked a little older raised his hand, "You're trying to ask, why are we surrendering?" β
Ma Chao looked at him indifferently and nodded on the horse's back.
The slave man was still laughing, but when he saw Ma Chao's eyes, he shuddered coldly, and was inexplicably timid in his heart: "We didn't want to fight for a long time, Anu Hu was replaced, and we didn't want the generals of the Yan Kingdom to ride on our heads." β
"Then if I tell you that the slave tribes on the snow field have rebelled and want to attack the Yan Kingdom, are you still willing to pick up weapons?"
The slave who knew Yan Mandarin was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Really?"
"You can ask if the rout is real, and when this battle is over, you will understand." Ma Chao grabbed the reins, and the tiger's head Zhan golden spear thrust into the ground, "Answer me now, are you willing to take a weapon and fight with the court!" β
"!"
Ma Chao's temper seemed to be very suitable for their temper, the slave man picked up his weapon again, and yelled a few slave words at the people sitting on the ground around, as if they knew that the tribes on the snow field had rebelled against the court, they stood up again one by one, raised the weapons in their hands, and let out an excited roar, venting the grievances of the previous change of generals!
"You, for the time being, lead your people, follow the state army to the middle road, meet the rest of the other slave army, let them rebel together, join us!"
"I hope you're right, General Yan!"
The slave man took two steps back and bowed to Ma Chao: "You are the most courageous general of the Yan Kingdom I have ever seen. β
Zhou Cang and Niu Gai laughed, always feeling that this barbarian seemed to be saying that Ma Chao was also a barbarian.
Ma Chao didn't bother to pay attention to them, looked at the dusk, the white horse under the seat neighed, and he was already galloping, the wind hit his face, and he became expressionless, and even became indifferent, he shouted "Drive!" The whip thrashed.
I've got the head of the court commander!
The sound of the wind in the field turned into a whimper of the night.
The middle road has set up camp at this moment, Dong Zhuo came in with a bloody curtain, inside the tent, Zhang Liao is bandaging Gao Shun, a day of fighting, 800 traps of the camp carrying 14,000 people back and forth to attack, almost disabled, now there are only about 300 people left, there are about 50 auxiliary soldiers, everyone is injured, it is basically impossible to fight again.
"After receiving the general's order, we wanted to outflank the 14,000 people in a roundabout way, but we didn't expect the other party to react quickly, and we had already sent 4,000 soldiers and horses to set up the defensive line."
Zhang Liao tightened the bandage in his hand, "If Le Jin is here, it would be good to cooperate with you, the two of you complement each other, one is good at attacking, and the other is good at defending." β
"Hmph, the old man's Xiliang soldiers are also good at attacking."
Dong Zhuo sat down opposite, took the water bag handed by his own soldiers, poured out some water on his face, and rubbed it vigorously: "I can't swing a knife when I'm not old, and when I get here, the old man is more energetic than when he was younger." β
He suddenly sat upright and came back, looking at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun opposite: "I have a good idea." Early tomorrow morning, let's rush more than 10,000 people directly! β
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun glanced at each other and laughed: "It is indeed a good idea!" β
β¦β¦
The camp with speckled bonfires crossed the camp of 10,000 people more than 10 miles away, and more than 20 miles away was the camp of tens of thousands of people.
Each message furrowed his frowning brow.
Before sending troops, the old man thought that in the face of an army of 150,000, these rebels would be very cunning to withdraw to avoid the battle, and then fight against each other with strange strategies. I didn't expect that with such a slight force, we fought back and forth, and every counterattack was very orderly, it was really a slaughtered army, much stronger than the soldiers who had just left the barracks. β
Li Dare stood at the mouth of the tent and couldn't answer this, so he only said: "It's not early, it's time for the marshal to take off his armor and rest." β
"I can't sleep, the old man has never seen such an army in his life, I'm excited!" Guo Xin took the pen and ink, sketched the strength of the troops on the map, and made various deductions, "What is the purpose of saying that the two wings of the rebels are constantly pulling Shibuya and the slaves?" β
"Contain the battlefield, as long as they are undefeated, they can threaten the flanks of our army at any time by going south or north, or launch a surprise attack around the rear!"
"I've thought that way too, and I agree with what you said."
Guo Xin stared at the map, his eyes a little cloudy: "I always feel that they should have something else to do." β
"Marshal, almost all the strength of the enemy army is clear, and they can't change other armies."
Just as the two of them pointed to the map and analyzed the distribution of the rebel armies, the news about the battlefield finally arrived on this night, and these messages were far away, and it was late at night when they came.
The 5,000 Shibuya Army, which had pursued the Western Liang Army to the north, was defeated and was now continuing to move towards the eastern flank.
The slave army that restrained the state army was forced to surrender, and more than 100 people were killed by a thousand Yanshan iron cavalry, and they camped twelve miles away from the center to rest, and the army in the south did not advance to the east with prisoners, but went north to the middle of the battlefield.
Guo Xin's face became solemn.
He has realized that he has been eaten up little by little, and he has been constantly defeated by the division of troops, and the other party has quietly seized the initiative on the battlefield by passive deployment.
Offense and defense are easy to shape!
β¦β¦
May 20.
The sky was overcast and shining, and when the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the old man appeared on the front line west of Yushan Plain, a total of 12,000 people from Bingzhou and Xiliang slammed into the four teams of 14,000 soldiers and horses of different genera on the opposite side with the ferocity of the past.
Figures spread across the mile-long front, straddle the bodies of their comrades, and split into several strands to fight all over the battlefield in the middle lane, where surging crowds of people collided together, fighting, and then crashing into each other, waving weapons and striking shields all making ping-pong sounds in the light dust.
Extending from the sky, the 12,000 black armor infantry soldiers were divided into three groups, and under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Dong Zhuo, and Gao Shun, they launched a charge in three different directions, and rushed through the defense lines of the Shibuya Army, the Tiger Army, the Long Xiang Army, and the Shengnu Army in one go.
The front line resisted several times and then collapsed, and the soldiers behind were not covered by infantry shields, and were pushed apart like an avalanche by the rushing rebels and routs.
Zhou Bing sent a team of warlords to try to integrate the soldiers and horses scattered in front of him, however, with the combined state army mixed in the rout, they rushed directly to the middle of the battle.
As a general, he was also extremely brave and led hundreds of soldiers to meet him, and at a distance of half a mile, he met a general of the enemy, and was cut off by the opponent with several knives.
The pro-soldiers tried to rescue, but they were then dispersed by the state army and ran around with the rout.
Killing the rising Zhang Liao, without saying a word, directly rushed to the middle of the imperial army, on the long journey of more than ten miles, Zhoucang and Niugai who went north also got the news that came, and crossed an arc in the field, with 4,000 Bingzhou troops and surrendered slaves and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and they killed to the east together.
At the same time, the wolf horseman, who had been wandering north of the battlefield, finally cut off the connection with the scouts here, and Lu Bu galloped across the wilderness with 1,600 horsemen, echoing him from afar, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, along the edge of the battlefield to deter the Shibuya army, which had only 6,000 people left.
At this moment, the entire battlefield situation was completely reversed.
When the whole battlefield was tense and the atmosphere of slaughter was enveloped, another cavalry cleared the place where the scouts had been carried out along LΓΌ Bu, and after an afternoon and night, bypassed Lujun Mountain, and finally completed the great detour.
At this moment, they were on the eastern border of the Yushan Plain, and they were slowly moving towards the flank and rear of the imperial army.
The sky rises above the clouds.
Li Wei raised his head to feel the warmth of the sun shining on his face, and after a while, he couldn't feel the warmth. He turned over and dismounted, and his own soldiers led a horse over, and dressed him with the iron armor he was carrying on it, and put it on the horses as well.
In addition to the gorgeous, the chest, shoulders, arms, crotch guards, and legs are all made of iron sheets, and the abdomen is made of small iron pieces to facilitate movement.
Li Wei's originally burly and mighty body suddenly became more iron-blooded, his eyes were fierce, and he rode back on the light horse, as for the armored war horse behind, he waited until he got to the place and then rode it.
Then, he slowly moved up with the Flying Bear Army, also in iron armor, and said a joke to a veteran who was out of place:
"General Zhao, I died early, I don't know what happened next, but I'm going to rush into battle, you old man should save a little!"
The gray-haired veteran rode silently on the white horse, his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.
But the spear that hung diagonally on the ground shook slightly, indicating that he was listening to everything around him.
Seeing that he didn't react, Li Wei turned around boringly, walked through the undulating impact terrain, went up a hill, and in the distance, he could see tens of thousands of soldiers and horses scattered in the field.
Six hundred men dismounted in silence, dragged their heavy armor, and walked to the armored horses with iron chains, and fastened one end of the iron chain to the iron ring with the opening downward, leaving a gap in this opening, and when it was tight, the iron chain would be pulled on the side of the iron ring.
Once the horse on one side falls to the ground, the chain will slide into the gap below and break free, so that it will not affect the other heavy riders.
Soon, two heavy horsemen appeared on the hill in a row, and the chains with the thickness of the wrists tightened between the war horses with a 'bang'.
Zhao Yun slowly opened his eyes, glanced at these heavy horses, and then urged the horse to the front, looking at the stretching military formation.
There was a soft voice that said, "Don't die first. β
This seemed to be said to Li Dao, and it seemed to be said to the enemy in the distance, which made Li Dao stunned for a moment.
Finally held this chapter out, so I won't send it in chapters.
Otherwise, it is easy to see it.
