Kou Zhong among them is like Huo Qubing in history. In terms of military affairs, they are both genius generals.
In the impression of the Han army, all the strong generals of the Yellow Turbans had emerged, so Guan Yu walked forward confidently and boldly, rushing to the aid of Xu Shiji as quickly as possible.
In order to ensure the victory of this attack, Kou Zhong did not fully follow Fan Li's previous suggestions and all his troops worked together to complete the battle. Instead, he chose to divide his troops to ensure the possibility of a successful attack.
Not only were all the two thousand Yellow Turban warriors used as bait, but even Li Jin, the original Yellow Turban's number one warrior, was also used as his bait.
Li Jin, he did become the number one warrior of the Yellow Turbans at a certain period.
In the early days of the Yellow Turbans, Chi You was of course the most powerful general.
And when Zhang Jue came to power and Chi You came to power, of course Chi You could no longer be a general at that time. Therefore, Li Jin was the number one general in the Yellow Turbans at that time. Except for Chi You who was already the master of the country, during that period, Among the entire Yellow Turbans, no one was Li Jin's opponent.
It was not until the subsequent strong joining of Sima Yunlei and Guo Duanfu that Li Jin began to withdraw from the position of the Yellow Turban's number one general. But even so, Li Jin has always been among the top five Yellow Turban generals.
As the earliest general of the Yellow Turbans, Li Jin, just like Li Yan before him, there is no doubt about the loyalty of people like them to the Yellow Turbans.
The Yellow Turban has developed step by step until now, which also contains all their hard work. The Yellow Turban, this is also their career.
They can betray others, but they cannot betray themselves or their own cause.
Therefore, even though he knew that he was being used as a bait and that he might have a narrow escape from death, Li Jin still shouldered his responsibility and went without hesitation.
The appearance of the Yellow Turban Warriors caught Guan Yu's tired army by surprise. These tired soldiers were almost unable to resist the Yellow Turban Warriors. The Yellow Turban Warriors drove straight in and almost killed Guan Yu in front of his face.
In fact, Li Jin's fight was so smooth that Kou Zhong was almost tempted to let Marshal Qi become the straw that broke the camel's back.
However, Kou Zhong always remained rational and did not really play directly.
If the young commander enters the field at this time, it is better to attack with all his strength at the beginning. Since there is no attack at the beginning, then there is not much meaning to attack at this time, it is better to wait.
At the critical moment, Guan Yu led his five hundred swordsmen into battle and temporarily blocked the Yellow Turban warriors. Gongsun Yan was responsible for arranging the troops and horses, allowing the large army to quickly surround the Yellow Turban warriors and besiege them on all sides, giving full play to their power. military superiority.
This kind of surprise attack in the face of the enemy's absolutely superior force is like this. You must fight and kill fiercely along the way and cannot be blocked by the enemy. Otherwise, once blocked, you will be surrounded by the enemy from all sides, and sooner or later you will be used by the enemy. The absolute superiority in military strength was wiped out.
As for the school swordsmen, although this is not a well-known elite battalion, they still exist as Guan Yu's personal soldiers. However, Guan Yu's 500 personal soldiers were themselves trained by Guan Yu, and they followed Guan Yu through various battles.
The quality in all aspects is not inferior to Elite Camp.
Five hundred school swordsmen, coupled with the command of a strong general like Guan Yu, risking their lives, are not enough to defeat these two thousand yellow scarf warriors, but it is still possible to stop their charge.
Nothing could be done, so Li Jin could only lead his troops to break out. Of the originally two thousand Yellow Turban warriors, only more than 600 were left to break out. However, they caused at least 5,000 casualties to Guan Yu's army.
Guan Yu led his troops to pursue them all the way. When they passed by a gentle slope, the young commander rode out from the top of the gentle slope and charged from top to bottom, making the impact of this cavalry team three points stronger.
In fact, this gentle slope is not a good place for an ambush, because this gentle slope is very short and small. There can only be a thousand men hiding on the gentle slope, and Guan Yu has tens of thousands of men and horses under his men. From here
If you launch an ambush on a gentle slope, you will only ambush a small part of Guan Yu's troops. When the time comes, the rest of the troops will surround you, and this one ambush will die without a burial place.
However, as one of the ambush parties, Kou Zhong never thought that he could use this ambush to annihilate Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops. This was unrealistic.
If you want to rely on ambush to completely annihilate the enemy in one battle, you must either rely on fire and water tactics, or you must have strong enough hard power in your own hands so that you can have sufficient support.
But things like the fire and water stratagem cannot be used as soon as they are used, as they are greatly affected by the external environment. As for having sufficient power under his hands, Kou Zhong does not have it.
And what Kou Zhong thought about was just to hit the snake seven inches away and capture the thief first. As for the unrealistic idea of annihilating the enemy army, he may have suddenly popped up in his mind a few times, but
He was quickly thrown away every time.
When Guan Yu was led by Li Jin to the gentle slope, Kou Zhong, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly rushed out with the young commander's cavalry and went straight to the place where Guan Yu's commander's flag was. And, using the terrain, he attacked Guan Yu's troops from the middle.
The horses were divided into two sections, leaving Guan Yu, who was surrounded in the center, in an isolated and helpless situation.
Li Jin also led the remaining several hundred men and horses to kill a carbine at the right time, desperately trying to tear off Guan Yu's hard bone.
This is the purpose of Chi You's battle. Even if the yellow scarf has no power to recover, even if he escapes this wave, he cannot escape Dou Jiande and Zhao Kuangyin. So, he will at least make Liu Bei heartbroken.
And if Guan Yu can be taken away in one wave, it will definitely be the most severe blow to the newly formed Qing-Han forces. Among the many generals of the Han army, only Guan Yu can produce such an effect.
Thousands of iron cavalry charged in a mighty manner from the gentle slope. Yang Lin, who was just in front of the charging path of these iron cavalry, turned green.
But at this time, there was no other way but to bite the bullet and rush up.
With the charging speed of the cavalry, it doesn’t matter whether he can dodge! Even if he can dodge, the second master’s temper can be controlled. If he is sometimes suspected of escaping from battle, he will have to be chopped with a knife.
"Quick, the swordsmen and axemen are all ready to chop off the horse's legs!" Yang Lin shouted hysterically to the surrounding sergeants.
As the saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs running?
After all, he has been on the battlefield for so many years and can survive to this day. Even if this Yang Lin is the Yang Lin in the Water Margin and not the Yang Lin in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it does not mean that he has gained nothing!
At least, he knew very well that facing the heavy cavalry in this state, he should not even think about setting up any shield formation at this time. With the few people around him, they would definitely be smashed to pieces by then.
It's better to risk your life to get a chance of survival.
"Where did the rats come from! Come on!" Gun Immortal Guo Duanfu's face showed his murderous aura, and the pink dragon and purple gold gun in his hand was thrust forward.
"Ding, Guo Duanfu's Spear Immortal skill is activated..."
