Chapter 174 Brothers, this is a high official, captured!
Have to admit it.
Learning more knowledge is quite useful.
Otherwise, at such a frightening moment, Yuan Shu would not be able to say "stop me", which is a somewhat standard statement.
In order to protect himself as much as possible, Yuan Shu chose the most secluded position to garrison, and gave the first position to Xu Qiu, who had combat experience.
Xu Qiu is the prefect of Runan. He is the prefect who can sit firmly with the support of the Yuan family in Runan.
Compared with Chen Yi and Yuan Zhong, Yuan Shu has the furthest relationship with Xu Qiu.
And because of learning formations, Xu Qiu developed a liking for King Hongnong, which was a dangerous signal for Yuan Shu.
After considering various factors, Yuan Shu placed Xu Qiu in the first position.
But who would have thought...
God always doesn't play his cards according to the routine.
A second ago, the Liang County cavalry was running wildly towards Xu Zhuan, but at this moment, they suddenly changed course and caught Yuan Shu off guard.
Although, his subconscious reaction was still in line with the defensive rhythm.
but......
After a wave of arrows.
The response strategy of the Liang County cavalry was completely beyond Yuan Shu's expectations.
However, I saw that the opponent rushed out several fast horses from the left and right sides, carrying several coils of hemp rope. There was also a three-clawed iron tool hanging on the hemp rope. It was the flying divine claw used by thieves when climbing.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
More than ten flying divine claws were thrown, and they did not fall on the soldiers. Instead, they accurately landed on the Juma lance and hooked the main body of the Juma. At the same time, the cavalry began to gallop to both sides.
In an instant.
The hemp rope was tight, pulling tightly on the horse-rejecting gun on the ground.
Xiyuxu~~~
The war horse neighs and becomes more powerful.
Yuan Shu's eyes widened and he stared at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
He seemed to have never thought of it.
The cavalry camp will break through the obstacles on the ground in this way.
Yuan Shu had never learned such a strategy to defend against enemies.
At this moment, Yuan Shu's mind was buzzing, and it went blank, filled with a faint fear, and he did not hear the reminder of "cut the rope" from the people around him at all.
He just watched helplessly as the Feitian Divine Claw grabbed the horse-rejecting gun and flew it out in an instant, completely exposing his team to the iron hooves of the Tunqi camp.
Actually!
Such a process is too short, and it only lasts a few breaths.
At the moment when several fast horses from the Tunqi camp came out to fight, if the sword and shield soldiers in the front row did not keep up, they would basically have no time to break through.
This requires the commander to have strong psychological quality and experience in commanding when facing the enemy.
It's obvious!
Although Yuan Shu also had some combat experience, when facing the elite soldiers of the Tun Cavalry Battalion, his reaction speed could not keep up with the opponent's moves, so he broke through the defense in an instant and was completely exposed.
However......
The more this happened, the more flustered and confused Yuan Shu became.
"Tunqi and charge into the formation!"
"Kill~~"
Following Feng Yan's order.
The rumble of horse hoofbeats, mixed with the roar of horses, stirred up a torrent of smoke and dust, rushing towards Yuan Shu who broke through the defense without any fancy.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The sound of piercing flesh was drowned in the torrent.
The garrison camp was like a sharp sword, thrusting into the weakest point of the Allied defenses.
Yuan Shu was so frightened that his face turned green. He could not care about commanding the battle. He turned around and left. Saving his life was the first priority.
However, the more this happened, the more arrogant the Tunqi camp became. Even if there were sword and shield soldiers to postpone the offensive, they were still lambs to be slaughtered in front of the Tunqi camp. They could not hold on for long before they were broken apart one by one.
Destroying everything, wreaking havoc!
This is not a battle, but a one-sided crushing.
The moment Yuan Shu broke through the defense, Yuan Zhong and Chen Yi were affected.
Although the two tried their best to direct the battle, when they encountered Yuan Shu, the perfect sixth man, no matter how capable they were, they could only slow down the cavalry camp and could not stop them at all.
"Yuan! Shu!"
Chen Yi, the Prime Minister of Lu State, was shouting at the top of his lungs, his face was bulging with anger, and his eyes were wide open: "You bastard, come back quickly and resist the attack of the thieves! Just resist the attack!"
"Damn it!"
Yuan Zhong, the Prime Minister of Pei State, was even furious.
But he didn't dare to scold Yuan Shu openly, he could only keep greeting him in his heart.
If he wasn't thinking about being a member of his own clan, Yuan Zhong would have wished to greet each of his eighteen generations of ancestors.
From the first day of the alliance, he wanted to hold the command in his own hands. He was both a spear and a blocker, accompanying the young master who was a direct descendant of the Yuan family all the way. He was dedicated to his responsibilities and worked hard without complaining.
But who would have thought...
Now that King Hongnong has finally been replaced, you are unexpectedly defeated in an instant. Just break the defense, but you don't even have the courage to stop the enemy. You turn around and walk away, leaving them struggling to deal with it.
Damn it!
This is simply an act of selling out teammates.
Even if you take him out and chop his head ten thousand times is too much.
Of course, although Yuan Zhong was angry in his heart, he kept giving orders.
Since there is chaos, we can only fight in the same chaotic way.
"Crossbowman, suppress me!"
"Sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, march together to form a formation to resist."
"..."
However......
What kind of army is the Tunqi Battalion?
That was the heavy cavalry in the Northern Army, and what they were best at was charging into formations.
Once the opponent's defense is broken, they will hardly be given time to form a formation again, and the entire team will be smashed to pieces.
"Damn it! The shield soldiers form a formation, followed by the spearmen."
"Push out the chariots here and block the enemy's horses!"
"..."
chaos!
riot!
There was a riot in an instant!
At Guangcheng Pass, Xu Rong saw that the cavalry camp had the upper hand. He did not hesitate and gave a sonorous order: "Send the order, open the city gate, and charge the elite troops into the formation. Cooperate with the cavalry camp and kill the enemy troops outside the city!"
The messenger handed over his hand: "No."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dong dong dong~~~
The sound of war drums with a specific rhythm sounded.
The next second, the Guangchengguan City Gate slowly opened a gap.
A group of heavily armed elite infantrymen, carrying the Han-style Huanshou sword and double arc shields, were like a sharp sword, and they came out in an instant.
"Kill~~"
A strong cry of death sounded.
At the same time, Liu Bian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He made a prompt decision, waved his hand and ordered: "Wen Ruo, send the signal."
Xun Yu bowed his head and responded calmly: "No."
Immediately.
Behind him, red and green flags flashed.
This is a pre-agreed signal for action.
(PS: The sound of war drums can be confused with Xu Rong’s soldiers and horses, so signal flags are used to convey instructions.)
Zhang Liao, who was in command, had been waiting for a long time.
With bright eyes and a long sword in his hand, he ordered sternly:
"Send an order to Zhang Zhen to postpone the attack on the city, let the enemy troops out of the city, and encircle them from both sides."
"..."
"Instruct Deng Zhi, the Yuanyang Army is going to fight the opponent's elite troops, and they must be prevented from returning to the Tunqi camp."
"..."
"Send the order to Niu Yong to organize the crossbowmen to suppress the enemy's attack rhythm and buy time for formation changes."
"..."
"Send orders to Cheng Pu to form a formation to meet the enemy according to the original plan."
"..."
"Instruct Deng Zhan and Zhu Tong to kick the ring hook, wind the diameter, and return the wolf tooth plate to its position."
"..."
Zhang Liao took command and issued one order after another according to the situation.
The whole army immediately changed, blocking the enemy, setting up ambushes, forming formations, and suppressing them.
Although the whole scene is relatively chaotic, in the eyes of an insider, it is orderly, step-by-step, and quite legal.
Netizens in the live broadcast room were so excited that this was an unprecedented battle:
"Damn! This is the real battlefield. It's not as casual as the TV show."
"Zhang Liao is truly a famous general in history, and he grasped the timing of his attack accurately."
“Although I don’t know what’s going on, I have a very awesome sense of urgency!”
"Yuan Shu is such a cheat!"
"That's right! The disciple of the Yuan family is going to be tricked by an old official."
"The siege was weakened, and the defensive position was targeted."
"Hahaha, I'm going to burst out laughing."
"..."
At that time, not only the netizens in the live broadcast room, but also Liu Bian himself could not help but feel excited.
It's a pity that he is King Hongnong and his status is extremely noble, otherwise he would really like to rush up and kill them with an iron gun.
but......
Such an idea only lasted for a moment before Liu Bian completely abandoned it.
Since I am the lord and emperor, I naturally have to focus on the overall situation. How can I join in like a big soldier? This will affect my judgment.
He observed the battlefield carefully.
The previous deployments in my mind came to mind one by one.
Although the entire battlefield was different from what was expected, there were many differences.
However, after Liu Bian carefully sorted it out, he could still find many functional areas in the chaotic battlefield, thus organically combining the functions of each department.
This was of great benefit to the improvement of Liu Bian's military literacy.
In fact, even experts from the Military Advisor Alliance have a completely new understanding of the process of ancient military battles, and even previously unimaginable confusions were comprehensively answered in the battle.
"Wen Ruo~~"
Liu Bian turned to glance at Xun Yu: "What do you think?"
Xun Yu naturally knew that Liu Bian was asking about the situation of the war, and he said with absolute certainty: "The chaos has stopped now. Our army's countermeasures are very effective. I think we will definitely win this battle."
Phew~~~
Liu Bian was completely relieved and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "When Xu Rong is defeated and the battlefield is cleaned, take off all the equipment of the Northern Army. If we obtain this equipment, our strength will be even greater."
Although these equipments will not be too much, as long as they can form an elite army, the effect on the battlefield is also crucial. How could Liu Bian let go of such a good opportunity.
Xun Yu smiled lightly and bowed his head: "Your Highness, don't worry, just leave it to me."
Liu Bian nodded and glanced across the battlefield, landing on the head of Guangcheng Pass.
At this moment, Xu Rong put his hands on the city wall and leaned out of the city. His eyes were as wide as bells, and the shock in his heart was like the turbulent water of the Yellow River.
"Fell into a trap!"
"I actually fell into the trap!"
Although Xu Rong was extremely careful, he did not dare to let down his guard at all.
but......
He still fell into King Hongnong's scheme.
The opponent used Yuan Shu, Yuan Zhong and other troops as buffers to quickly and effectively form formations to defend against the enemy.
Such reaction power puts even Xu Rong to shame.
If the opponent's general is not a commander who kills all year round, then he must have anticipated the attack of the cavalry camp before the battle, and even successfully deduced a quick defense strategy based on this anticipation.
Of course, although the Military Advisor Alliance had made tactical speculations about the attack on the Tunqi Camp, it could not be so accurate to such a terrifying degree.
In fact, in order to truly control the overall situation, they conducted tactical deductions for every possible attack point and formulated several strategies to defend against the enemy.
It's just a coincidence.
It was Yuan Shu who won the lottery, not Xu Qiu.
At this moment, Xu Rong's throat rolled and he forced to swallow a mouthful of saliva.
His eyes fell on the elite infantrymen below the city, but they were pinned to the ground by the soldiers and horses with the strange weapons, and there was no possibility of them continuing to advance.
You must know that this team is the elite infantry of the Northern Army. Even if it encounters a formidable opponent, it will still be able to fight, but it will be particularly difficult to fight against this army.
Incredible!
It’s incredible!
The enemy's soldiers and horses came from both sides, completely surrounding Yang Li, devouring and killing him, but it was only a matter of time, and there was no possibility of rescue.
now......
Xu Rong could only place his hopes on Feng Yan.
The opponent is leading a cavalry battalion, and they are the cavalry who are best at rushing into formations.
And based on Feng Yan's actual combat experience, it is still very possible to break through the formation he has set up.
Although the casualties may be larger, as long as we can break through its strategic depth, engage with the soldiers and horses under the city, and attack from front and back, it is still possible to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory!
"Feng Yan!!!"
Xu Rong was worried and prayed secretly: "You must hold on!"
However, what Xu Rong didn't know was that the person who formed the formation to resist the cavalry camp was Cheng Pu, who was equally experienced in combat.
Like Xu Rong, this man was also from Liaodong. He was proficient in cavalry combat methods, supplemented by an expert formation system. In terms of strength alone, he was not inferior to Feng Yan of the Tun Cavalry Camp.
now.
Cheng Puduan sat on his horse, looking at the soldiers falling to the ground in front of him, as well as the soldiers and horses of the cavalry camp.
His eyes were bright and his command was steady, waiting for the signal.
suddenly!
The soldier beside him cupped his hands and said, "General, this is a signal flag. They are ready."
Cheng Pu did not hesitate, pointed his sword, and shouted sternly: "Open!"
Hula~~
The formation of shields and spears was like a waterfall torn from the middle, giving way in an instant.
Although Feng Yan was suspicious, the battle situation was really urgent, so he subconsciously led his troops and rushed in.
But......
When they passed by the military formation and penetrated its strategic depth.
But the possibility of turning around has been completely lost.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The war horse was galloping, but it touched some mechanism, and the arrow was fired and the horse fell down.
What is even more surprising is that the spearman who had already ambushed him suddenly stabbed the soldier who rolled to the ground into a hornet's nest, killing him on the spot.
"Ah, this is..."
When Feng Yanzheng was in shock.
Behind him, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Feng Yan looked around hurriedly.
But see...
The war horse fell to the ground, and the ropes around its hooves were tight.
It was obvious that he had stepped into a pre-set mechanism during the attack, and that was why he was like this.
"Damn it!"
Feng Yan suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
He looked back and found that his team had been divided into several sections inadvertently.
Such a formation is really like a huge meat grinder. Once you fall into it, it is impossible to escape.
"General!"
The soldiers beside him asked urgently: "The team is cut off, what should we do?"
Feng Yan glared and gritted his teeth: "Since there is no way out, we must fight to the death! Brothers, follow me and kill~~~"
The soldiers around him shouted in unison: "Kill~~~"
But......
They haven't even taken two steps yet.
A huge fishing net bounced up from the ground, covering all the soldiers and horses.
Feng Yan subconsciously slashed with his knife, but the fishing net was too soft and the sharp edge of the knife made it difficult to break the net cable!
"Brothers, this is a high-ranking official, and he will catch you alive!"
