Chapter 7 Yuan Shu's tricks
Morale fell sharply, and the morale of all the princes of the alliance was falling.
No one expected that Li Gui was so powerful that he still beheaded more than a dozen people under the wheel battle. The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry under his command was also terrifying to charge into battle. Even if hundreds of people stood in front, they would be penetrated by a team of forty or fifty people.
Unlike rangers who are good at fighting or archers who are shooting from a long distance, Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is a unit that is purely used for position attacks. Since stirrups began to be widely used, many princes also had a group of such troops.
However, the biggest feature of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is that he is obviously a heavy armored knight, and his powerful defense ability can protect the knights and war horses very well, but it will reduce the movement speed and endurance.
But the Western Liang Iron Cavalry completely ignored this law and had a speed that was not inferior to that of the rangers. Even the rangers of the Kanto princes may not be as fast as this heavy cavalry in terms of horse speed.
This powerful charge ability will also bring greater combat power to the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry. The most powerful Feixiong Army has made up for the final weakness of "endurance".
It is conceivable that if one is seriously overtaken by the Feixiong Army, even the general policy of tens of thousands or even 30,000 or 40,000 people may be penetrated by one or two thousand people, right?
Besides, the commander could not face the enemy head-on and look for the weakest place in the enemy to launch a storm, even a hundred thousand troops could be successfully penetrated by the Feixiong Army.
In short, Dong Jun is not vulnerable! On the contrary, he can completely crush them smoothly!
In fact, it is not said that. The princes forgot that they were all messy soldiers. When they cooperated with each other without tacit understanding, they were easily found by the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Not only did they cooperate with each other after being chiseled through, but they were also in a mess. This could easily lead to a great defeat.
However, in front of a powerful enemy, the princes only remembered the enemy's strength, but forgot their weaknesses.
There is no way, this is human habitual thinking, and I will regret it until I think back a long time.
But often by that time, it’s too late!
Yuan Shao was actually very satisfied with this battle. The most important thing was that the princes had fewer than a dozen generals. Especially the fact that his younger brother Yuan Shu died two generals, he was even more satisfied.
Death, the more you die, the better! When his subordinates began to doubt Yuan Shu's command ability, who else would work hard for him? In the end, this world would definitely be a contest between two Yuan's children. Yuan Shao was naturally very happy to be able to weaken this younger brother.
The only regret is that Liu Ming did not send anyone to fight. According to the information, among the people he brought this time, Guan Hai and Dian Wei had certain combat power, which was not inferior to Pan Fengyu and others. No matter how bad it was, he could at least tie with Li Kui.
Liu Ming did not go to the battle, Yuan Shao understood his ideas for now, probably because he was planning similar to his own. This guy was just a poisonous snake hiding in the dark and staring at his prey silently.
An inspiring banquet is naturally indispensable, but Yuan Shao was defeated this time.
Yuan Shu was in charge of military ration supplies. The people who went to collect the supplies for banquets returned in a panic and reported to Yuan Shao, saying that Yuan Shu did not allow them to take even a grain of corn. The reason was very simple, and the supply of materials was short of money, so the vanguard was given priority.
Well, it seems that giving this guy the first to take charge of military rations was a wrong decision...
Yuan Shao had no choice but to do this. The 18 princes were chewing a lot. This was especially true for banquets. The consumption was about three or four times that of ordinary people, and it required a lot of meat to consume. Yuan Shu used the excuse of shortage of supplies as an excuse, and even Yuan Shao could not pick up the sting, unless he personally checked the total amount of logistics supplies.
However, at that time, Yuan Shu had many ways to see only a small amount of supplies.
Ironically, the books I took out were absolutely no problem at all...
"Sun Wentai... please!" Yuan Shao still attracted Sun Jian.
"I understand, I'll prepare and attack in two days!" Sun Jian sighed and agreed.
At the same time, Yuan Shu learned that Sun Jian was going to fight again, and was so angry that he made a big fuss in the tent.
There was nothing else. Two days ago, he sent someone to tell Sun Jian that as long as he was willing to surrender, he would definitely use him. At that time, he could give him any gold, silver, treasures, or status and reputation.
However, Sun Jian did not agree, or his tone was somewhat contemptuous.
But just today, Yuan Shao asked him to attack, and he agreed directly. Judging from this situation, can Yuan Shu be understood as Sun Jian has already fallen into Yuan Shao's arms?
No, I’m afraid I’ve defected to Yuan Shao early in the morning!
Otherwise, why would you refuse yourself?
Even if you are a fool, you can make full use of both ends, right?
Yuan Shu was very angry, but naturally he would not look good.
On the other hand, when Sun Jian received the military order and was about to go back to order troops, he met Liu Ming.
"Brother Wentai, have you ever heard the saying that 'One move will lead to two declines, and three deaths'?" Liu Ming held a small wine pot and looked at Sun Jian leisurely.
"I have heard of 'there must be two, and there must be three'." Sun Jian disagreed.
"Hope, this is not your self-comfort..." Liu Ming turned around.
"Aren't you going?" Sun Jian hesitated for a moment, and asked a little.
"If the alliance is disbanded, I am willing to lead my army to a fight with Dong Zhuo alone, even if I consume this 10,000 troops, I will do whatever I want! But if I act under the fingers of the leader Yuan, I will not be optimistic about the outcome of this battle. Not to mention, leader Yuan has a strange brother." Liu Ming sarcastically.
"If I lose, the Allies will have no future..." Sun Jian didn't believe it very much.
"Yuan Shao will never want you to lose. He hopes you will win all the way, and it is best that in the end, all your troops under your command will die in battle. But Yuan Shu is different. This narrow-minded guy will do the most stupid thing to drag you down. So, if you can't fight quickly this time, you'd better come back quickly!" Liu Ming advised.
"Well, I will consider your suggestion!" Sun Jian nodded and returned to his tent.
Sun Jian attacked again, but did not fight with Dong Jun as soon as possible. In fact, he was the only one who fought, and the combat mode was almost clear, he had to find a better opportunity to fight.
On the first day, he and Li Kuo fought for 80 rounds, and finally both sides finally pulled back.
The next day, he led his army to attack Dong's food route, and fought with Fan Chou, who was escorting military rations for fifty rounds without a chance of winning or losing. Seeing that Dong Zhuo's army was about to come to support, he had to withdraw his troops.
On the third day, he suddenly found that his camp had been out of stock since last supper...
On the third night, the fifth group of soldiers who were sending out to urge grain, but still did not respond.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Li Kuai's army attacked at night. Sun Jian's troops, who had been hungry for a day and a night, had to retreat. When they were tired, they were finally caught up by Dong's army, and more than 3,000 people were killed.
According to the situation, Sun Jian might even be killed.
However, he had been wearing a red headscarf these days. Seeing this, Zu Mao immediately took his headscarf and walked another way to lure Dong's soldiers to pursue him.
In the end, Sun Jian returned to the barracks with a thousand remaining soldiers, while Zu Mao and three hundred personal guards were killed...
