Chapter 9: Attack, Counterattack
Zhang Bao's troops, ten battalions are distributed according to three, three, two, two, and two, and Huang Xiaoqiang's Dongda battalion on their side is one, five, and ninety. On the seventh day of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info before dawn, the unknown enemy army was coming, and the soldiers of the first and fifth battalions quickly got up to meet the battle when they heard the sound because they were usually trained by Huang Xiaoqiang. The Ninth Battalion, because the assembly was too slow, did not react, and before the official confrontation, it was killed and wounded.
Although the number of this force was not too large, about five hundred, they were concentrated in one place under the guidance of a young general led by them, and they were all cavalry. Assaulting back and forth in the East Battalion, the battalions of the Yellow Turban Army were killed and wounded countless times.
This is a very regular and sophisticated army, where have the 3,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army encountered such a strong enemy, and after a few rounds of fighting, they heard someone shouting, "I can't fight, run away." As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted a lot of responses. The people of the one-word battalion and the five-character battalion all looked at Huang Xiaoqiang, and they were also preparing to be deserters.
Huang Xiaoqiang was furious and scolded, "Hmph, coward." Do you think that you will survive if you keep running? Do you run fast or do you run fast on horses? and those who call on their brothers to flee will be beheaded. The brothers of the one-word battalion and the five-character battalion listened to my order, raised their shields and gathered in one place, formed a military posture, and approached closely. Fill the gap quickly. ”
In these six days of training, the 2,000 people will already be divided into 20 centurions and 20 phalanxes according to Huang Xiaoqiang's guidance, led by centurions led by each freedom. For the sake of convenience, Huang Xiaoqiang has twenty squares in the two-word camp, and Huang Xiaoqiang directly named them, one one, one two... Five-one, five-two, and other names.
Although Huang Xiaoqiang has not handed over their combat skills, the sentence of military orders has been implemented in everyone's minds. And they all think that what Huang Xiaoqiang said makes sense, because in case they still escape, these cavalry catch up, and they have nowhere to hide, so it is better to fight.
"The hundreds, at my command, bent down and put their shields on them. Don't be afraid of these cavalry. Huang Xiaoqiang gave an order.
When a group of cavalry came, who knew that there would be countless regular phalanxes blocking the front, and the cavalry at the front could not stop completely. There was no choice but to crash through.
"The brothers at the front buried their bodies lower, so that the shields were at an angle to the ground, so that the horses could jump onto the shield wall and everyone would wait for the opportunity to kill the enemy. Huang Xiaoqiang then shouted.
The soldiers in front listened to the order, and saw that this small group of cavalry was all on the shield wall. Some of the brave ones saw the opportunity to stab a sword through the gap between the shield walls and slashed at the horse's leg. The horse was in pain, and the soldiers above it were shaken off. The soldier fell on top of the shield wall and was instantly stabbed to death by the sword.
"Well done, to kill these cavalrymen, you have to kill the horses first. Brother, well done. Huang Xiaoqiang originally thought of shooting people and horses first, but at this time they didn't have archers, so they could only change this sentence.
One person did this, and many others followed, and although some soldiers did not succeed, many cavalrymen were killed at once, and the cavalry ranks were somewhat disorganized.
"Don't panic, brothers. Capture the thief and capture the king first, and if we kill the young general first, the thieves will be in chaos. Brothers, follow me. Kill. One of the leaders of the cavalry quickly organized an offensive, and then pointed at Huang Xiaoqiang with his sword. Immediately, the rest of the cavalry rushed towards Huang Xiaoqiang.
Huang Xiaoqiang saw that this group of people, although they suffered a small setback, but it almost didn't take time to reassemble, and he couldn't help but sigh, "The gap between the enemy and our troops is really big." ”
The horses of these cavalrymen were indeed excellent, and they rushed towards Huang Xiaoqiang's side in an instant. If Huang Xiaoqiang is an ordinary general, there is no one around to protect him at this time, and this group of cavalry collides with him, and Huang Xiaoqiang will be trampled into meat sauce immediately, but Huang Xiaoqiang is not an ordinary general, and it is impossible to sit still. I saw Huang Xiaoqiang draw his sword and leap into the air, pointing his sword into the air, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slashing down. A sword aura descended from the sky, and it was a change move that swept through thousands of armies with one move.
The horses of the cavalry in front were frightened and stopped in an instant. But the man on the horse was thrown out, and after being thrown off, he was instantly trampled by the horses that followed. The same was true of some of the cavalry in the back.
Huang Xiaoqiang looked at the nine-character camp in the air, the thousand people of the nine-character camp were completely chaotic at this time, and Huang Xiaoqiang naturally had to find a way to rescue them. So he shouted to the twenty phalanxes below, "The hundred-man team of No. 1 and No. 2 stay and kill the enemy with me, and the others will scatter, follow General Lin to rescue the nine-character battalion, we have more people and less on the other side, we will definitely win." Huang Xiaoqiang naturally knew that the weapons of his side team were not good, so he could only tell his subordinates that his side had more strength and increased their morale.
After Huang Xiaoqiang gave the order, Lin Zhan took less than 1,400 people to the rescue. After Lin Zhan arrived, he shouted, "The brothers of the nine-character camp hold on, the brothers of the one-character camp and the five-character camp are here to help you." ”
The 1,000 people of the Nine-Character Battalion are usually trained hard. But after all, there is such a saying, if a soldier instigates one, he will instigate a nest. After encountering such a strong enemy, General Gao Gao, the commander of the Nine-Character Battalion, his first thought was to run. The other soldiers could not see the general's flag, did not know where the general was, and naturally their morale was low, and they were ready to run but did not know where to run, and could only face the enemy under the leadership of a few knowledgeable centurions. But if you don't practice well, the natural gap will be reflected when you fight. Many soldiers couldn't help but regret in their hearts, "I would have trained a little more if I knew that I usually would." At this moment, when everyone heard the rescue, their hearts were naturally overjoyed, and they were excited one by one. shouted, "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming." ”
The enemy troops on the side of the Jiuzi Battalion are not too many, about 300 people. Lin Zhan was naturally overjoyed when he saw that everyone's morale was very high, pointed at the cavalry team with his sword, and said, "Everyone concentrate their forces to fight more and fight less." They are not as many as we are, and we consume them. "Then follow the steps and form a phalanx of shield walls against the enemy. For all of you from the one-word camp and the five-word camp, this is the second time to form a shield wall, and you are naturally familiar with the road. The nine-character battalion doesn't know why, but it feels like this formation seems to be very powerful, and they are also learning and selling, forming a phalanx against the enemy, and the effect is not bad.
The purpose of these 500 cavalry was to make a surprise attack, and seeing that although the 3,000 people in the Dongda Battalion had been attacked a lot, they were finally assembled and defended, so they naturally knew that they could no longer take advantage of this side, so they withdrew under the orders of the young general. And the Yellow Turban Army are all infantry, so naturally they can't pursue them, so they can only watch them go away with resentment. A little angry, he spat at the cavalry and said, "If you didn't run fast, Grandpa would have hacked you to death." ”
When the young general left, he glanced at Huang Xiaoqiang and Lin Zhan, and never looked back.
"We beat the officers and soldiers away, and we won. I don't know who said this, but the others were very happy, cheering with a victorious attitude. Lin Zhan originally wanted to say something, but then he thought about it. After all, this can indeed be regarded as a small victory, although there are many people fighting and few people, but it is a breakthrough to defeat the troops of the imperial court with a group of rabble. So Lin Zhan also cheered with everyone.
"The hundred-man squad counted the casualties, and although there were not many horses captured, they were all good horses, and they were well raised. Huang Xiaoqiang commanded, and went back to his camp.
Lin Zhan saw that although Huang Xiaoqiang had won the battle, he didn't seem to be in a good mood. Naturally, I knew that something was wrong and followed.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Zhan followed Huang Xiaoqiang into the camp.
Huang Xiaoqiang turned his back to Lin Zhan and looked up to the sky and sighed, "It would be great if there was no war, there would not have been so many deaths without war." ”
Lin Zhan was a little helpless, shook his head, and said, "Senior brother, you are compassionate again. If you continue like this, how can you still be a general who commands thousands of troops? Senior brother, have you forgotten what the "Sima Fa" says? It is okay to kill people when they kill people, it is okay to attack their country and love their people, and it is okay to stop the war with war, even if they fight. You're too much of that. Lin Zhan took into account Huang Xiaoqiang's feelings, and stopped talking.
Huang Xiaoqiang sighed, "You want to say that I'm too kind to a woman." You're right, if I had been compassionate and killed fewer of these people today, perhaps more of his soldiers would have died under this iron hoof one day. Thank you, junior brother. ”
"Ahem, that's what our two brothers are talking about. Lin Zhan waved his hand.
"That's right. Huang Xiaoqiang was suddenly a little excited, he recalled Lin Zhan's words, the three words of general, and naturally thought of Zhang Bao. "Our side is under a surprise attack, and the general and other battalions will naturally be attacked as well, so we are now rushing over to the rescue. ”
Huang Xiaoqiang immediately paid out the account and beat the drum to gather. Then Huang Xiaoqiang ordered that the first and fifth battalions each divided half of their men to rush to the north camp and the south camp, and Huang Xiaoqiang and Lin Zhan went to the west camp. In the end, the troops of the East Battalion provided timely support, and the casualties of the other three battalions were reduced a lot.
At night, ten commanders were discussing in Zhang Bao's tent. "In this surprise attack, the total number of enemy troops was less than 2,000, but only 5,872 people were killed in our 10,000-strong team. More than half of the casualties are disgraced. Zhang Bao's voice was originally a little loud, but this time it was angry again, and the sound was naturally more deafening.
Zhang Yi snorted, "They sneak attack, what kind of heroes are they, they have the ability to fight with General Ben face to face." "Zhang Yi is the two-character battalion, and the three thousand-man team of their western battalion suffered the most casualties, if it wasn't for Huang Xiaoqiang and Lin Zhan arriving in time, they might have been wiped out.
"This is a war, you think it's a contest on the table, and the contest on the table can also be deceitful. Alas, this enemy attack was aided by General Huang and General Lin of the Eastern Battalion, otherwise how could you all sit here so peacefully, and don't hurry up to thank you. ”
"General Xie Huang, General Xie Lin. The other eight generals said in unison. Huang Xiaoqiang and Lin Zhan naturally said politely, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”
"As soldiers, we naturally have to grow and progress in the midst of war. In the past month, our army has been invincible everywhere it goes, which is why you are proud and complacent. It's also a good thing that we're experiencing a little bit of difficulty now. Before the fourth watch arrived today, I received a military order that the lord would attack the Tiger Prison Pass in half a month. Therefore, at noon today, the army will go to Chenliu and return to the camp to prepare well. After Zhang Bao said this, he signaled their respective families to return to the camp.
Lin Zhan complained a little on the way back, after all, he and Huang Xiaoqiang had made great contributions in this battle, but they didn't get any expression at all, and Lin Zhan was not convinced. But Huang Xiaoqiang said that he didn't mind, so Lin Zhan could only hold back the words in his stomach.
