Chapter 131 Yuan Fang's Courage
Outside the prefecture, Ju Yi rode a horse in a hurry, and Yuan Fang's sudden summons surprised him.
Ju Yi didn't expect that Yuan Fang would summon him so quickly.
Since his Beiqiu surrendered and followed Yuan Fang back to the plain, Yuan Fang had no chance to see Yuan Fang again after he transferred hundreds of troops and ordered him to reorganize his troops.
Ju Yi felt privately that he had just surrendered to the general, and at the critical moment when the Yuan family father and son fought, even if Yuan Fang surrendered him, he might not be reused.
After all, he hasn't been in a new position for a long time, and there are still certain risks when using him.
Thinking of this, Ju Yi felt a little helpless, but he could only stay in the camp and live in depression, not knowing what his future fate would be.
Just when he was depressed, Yuan Fang's confidant Yuan Gui came to the camp in person, saying that Yuan Fang had important military information and wanted to summon him to the prefecture for discussion.
Ju Yi was both excited and unexpected, and was busy riding his horse to the prefecture.
When he entered the mansion, he had just stepped over the threshold with one foot. Yuan Fangye had come up with him and patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Zi Xin, how have you been resting these days? The hundreds of people I have assigned you can still listen to."
Yuan Fang's courtesy and care were beyond Ju Yi's expectations, which surprised him very much, and he was a little flattered in a trance.
After a while, Ju Yi realized and hurriedly bowed his hand to thank him.
The minister sat down, and Yuan Fang did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Zi Xin, how many people can you have to go to the death sergeant first?"
"First climb the dead soldiers?" Ju Yi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied: "Report to the lord, there are about 300 people left after the dead soldiers."
When Ju Yibeiqiu surrendered, there were less than 700 people left under his command, of which more than 300 people were killed in the battle outside Ganling City. More than half of them died in the battle outside Ganling City.
"Three hundred people, um." Yuan Fang nodded and said seriously: "Now Yuan Shang is leading 10,000 staging cavalry to come to Zheng County. I want you to lead 300 dead soldiers to follow me to attack, and catch Yuan Shang off guard. I wonder if you have this confidence?"
Ju Yi's expression changed drastically, and he was so surprised that he almost jumped up.
Just now, Ju Yi was still depressed that he was idle. In this blink of an eye, Yuan Fang actually asked him to take on the burden of defeating Yuan Shang.
This trust and value really made Ju Yi overjoyed.
"My lord wants me... to defeat Yuan Shang?" Ju Yi's voice trembled, and he was a little unbelievable.
Yuan Fang focused his attention and asked back, "Why, I'm sad that Zixin doesn't have this courage, and I'm afraid that Yuan Shang will succeed?"
"Just!" Ju Yiteng jumped up and patted his chest and shouted, "I am not afraid of Ju Yitian, but I am still afraid of that boy Yuan Shang? I have seen a few boys in the Yuan family dislike him, so I will secretly use secret tricks. The lord believes in me, and I can just let out a good vent."
Ju Yi's "rude" crazy words showed his full trust, but after he said that, he suddenly realized that it seemed to offend Yuan Fang.
The sentence "The little boy from the Yuan family" seemed to have scolded Yuan Fang too.
"Lord. I'm scolding Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, not scolding him, don't blame him." Ju Yi scratched his head and apologized awkwardly.
Not only was Yuan Fang not angry, he preferred Ju Yi's rough temperament. He laughed and said proudly: "Ji Xin is assured that he has confidence. Let's set off to kill the Sun. Kill Yuan Shang off guard."
Seeing that Yuan Fang was not concerned, Ju Yifang was at ease and was even more grateful to Yuan Fang. He bowed and said with a sigh: "But with the order of the lord, he went through fire and water, and he would do nothing."
On that day, Yuan Jian led 4,000 elite soldiers, together with Ju Yi and his 300 first-row dead soldiers, and headed straight to Zheng County.
In the previous battle against Yuan Tan, Yuan Fang used 7,000 soldiers and horses, and although he won a great victory, the soldiers also suffered a lot of physical strength. In order to deal with Yuan Shao's main force, Yuan Fang took a rotation this time and led only 4,000 soldiers and horses to attack.
Moreover, if you lead too many troops, Yuan Shang will take it seriously and it will not be easy to catch him off guard.
In Yuan Fang's opinion, it is enough to deal with Yuan Shang with the first death warrior.
That night, Yuan Fang led 4,000 troops to Cheng County to meet with Xu Sheng's troops. The next day, Yuan Shang led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to come and fight fiercely.
Yuan Fang was not determined to take charge of the city and directly led his army out of the city, forming an array west of Zheng County, and posing as a decisive battle.
Ten miles away, the battle flag covers the sky, and the army is as powerful as the waves.
Ten thousand Jizhou troops advanced eastward in a mighty manner, with great momentum.
At the front of the team, under the giant "Yuan" character, Yuan Shang was wearing silver armor, standing proudly with a gun, and his eyebrows were filled with confidence.
From a distance, it was vaguely visible to Zhengxian County, and Yuan Shang's mouth couldn't help but feel a little proud.
According to the scout's return, there were only more than 700 enemies in Zheng County. Yuan Shang believed that with his 10,000 army, he could be defeated in a blink of an eye.
"I made the first contribution to the attack on Yuan Fang after capturing the county. I could win the battle with the first time I led the troops. My reputation will soon overwhelm my unscrupulous brother..." Yuan Shang's thoughts rolled in his heart, and a smile quietly flew across the corner of his mouth.
General Ma Yan saw Yuan Shang's thoughts and smiled and complimented: "The eldest son was defeated by Yuan Fang and his arm was broken. The fourth son took down Zheng County without any effort. The lord will definitely look at the fourth son with admiration."
Yuan Shang listened and laughed without saying a word. Although he was proud, he did not express it too much.
Just then, the scout rushed over and shouted, "Young Master, four thousand enemy troops were found ten miles ahead, as if they wanted to stop our army from siege."
Four thousand enemy troops?
Yuan Shangyi asked anxiously: "Don't there only 700 defenders in Zheng County? Why did four thousand soldiers suddenly emerge?"
"Report to the young master, according to the spy, this is the rebel Yuan Fang who led 4,000 troops yesterday and just arrived." The scout said.
Yuan Fang's figure shook slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, as if he was a little surprised that Yuan Fang personally led his army to appear.
He originally thought that the situation in Zheng County was difficult to defend, and Yuan Fang would definitely abandon him without fighting and retreat to the old barriers, but he did not expect that Yuan Fang would not only come to rescue him, but also block him in the wilderness.
"The enemy army is only four thousand, and Yuan Fang, the little thief, came in person. Young Master, this is a great opportunity for us to kill Yuan Fang in one battle." Ma Yan shouted excitedly.
Yuan Shang was immediately excited and thought that if he could really kill Yuan Fang, it would be a foregone conclusion that he would quell the rebellion and win the first merit of Qingzhou, and his reputation and prestige surpassed Yuan Tan.
This battle has achieved remarkable results.
Excited, Yuan Shang said calmly: "This boy Yuan Fang is always deceitful and should not underestimate the enemy. Can there be cavalry in his army?"
Yuan Shang was obviously much more calmer than Yuan Tan. He was afraid that although Yuan Fang brought inferior troops, he had an elite army like a camp hidden in the army, and he would repeat Yuan Tan's mistakes.
"Young Master, no war horses were found in the enemy's army, all of them were infantry."
Without war horses, it means there is no camp.
Yuan Shang was relieved and proudly made a big move. He immediately waved his gun and shouted: "The whole army followed me to kill Yuan Fang, the rebel, and seized the first merit for me to suppress the rebellion!"
The order was passed down, and ten thousand Jizhou soldiers were in a state of great excitement, and they all rushed eastward with the intention of making meritorious deeds.
In the afternoon, two armies met ten miles west of the city, and lined up around a distance.
The dark clouds press against the top, and the heaven and earth are slaughtering.
Under the bloody battle flag, Yuan Fang stood tall with a broken skull stick in his hand.
On the left and right, four thousand Qingzhou infantry were lined up in a solemn manner, and in the front military office, there were Ju Yi's three hundred first-row dead soldiers.
In order to confuse the enemy, the three hundred dead soldiers first climbed all placed large shields on the ground, hid the hard crossbow behind them, and disguised them as ordinary infantrymen.
"Lord, will you take some risk if you use three hundred crossbowmen as the front army?" Xu Sheng beside him said worriedly.
Although Xu Sheng has talent, he still lacks experience. He has only been a bandit in Langya, but has never seen the real cruelty on the battlefield.
Yuan Fang, however, had an eagle's eyes as ice and said lightly: "There are not many soldiers but the elites. Yuan Shang is not Gongsun Zan. Three hundred people are enough to ascend to the dead first."
Seeing that Yuan Fang was so confident, Xu Sheng couldn't ask any more questions, so he just held the hilt of the knife tightly and looked at the enemy nervously.
On the opposite side, Yuan Shang jumped on his horse and stood proudly in the formation, looking at the formation of less than 4,000 Qingzhou troops, with a stronger look of confidence on his face.
"Sure enough, there are no cavalry, and even the four thousand infantrymen want to stop me. Yuan Fang, I thank you for making me Yuan Shang famous."
After the contemptuous words, Yuan Shangli shouted: "Where is Captain Ma?"
"The last one will be here!" Mayan responded and left the list.
With the silver spear in his hand pointed at the Qingzhou army, Yuan Shang said proudly: "I'm going to order you to lead a thousand thunder cavalry to attack and tear the enemy's formation for me. Then I will lead the army to cover up the killing and strangle Yuan Fang's rebel thief in one fell swoop!"
"No." Ma Yan left after orders and headed straight to the front army.
Woo woo woo woo ~~
The sound of the trumpet was blowing, and ten thousand soldiers and horses in the Jizhou military formation were shaking the sky and the earth.
The flag was shaken, and Ma Yan led a thousand thunderous cavalry and rushed out with a bang.
With the sound of "dongdong" war drums, a thousand iron cavalry quickly formed a front-arrow formation in front of the formation. The huge military formation stepped on the broken horse hooves and advanced rapidly towards the Qingzhou army.
The dust raised by the horse's hooves instantly filled the air. With the continuous and powerful sound of the war drums, the speed of the Mayan Cavalry Legion had completely increased, and the earth was shocked by a huge roar.
Such a devastating momentum actually looks like an Youzhou iron hoof, which is enough to make any opponent frightened.
Seeing the enemy cavalry launching an attack, the four thousand Qingzhou soldiers all changed color slightly.
Without cavalry protection, pure infantry faces the impact of enemy cavalry, as if they are born with fear, even the elites who have been through the battlefield are no exception.
Xu Sheng, who was beside him, witnessed the shocking scene of the Iron Cavalry's impact for the first time in his life, his heartbeat also accelerated rapidly, and Yuan Fang could even hear his chest pounding.
Yuan Fang was as quiet as water, without a trace of fear, his eyes slowly moved to the front of his army, landed on Ju Yi, and on the three hundred first-row death soldiers.
This is a secret weapon he seized from Yuan Shao. In this battle, Yuan Fang had to rely on this secret weapon to defeat the enemy.
