Yuan Tan transferred all the troops from the granary at the rear and replaced them with a group of wounded soldiers. This was naturally good news for Wang Zheng who wanted to cut off his food supply.
It's also bad news.
After all, anyone who is not an idiot would not know the importance of granaries to an army, especially an army like Yuan Jun who went into battle alone.
In the original history, the key reason why Yuan Shao lost the Battle of Guandu was because Xu You acted as a rebel who leaked the secrets.
Because in a large battlefield with such strength, the frontal defense front of the two armies must be very wide, and there will be no shortage of sentry guards at the junction. If a large group of troops is sent to cross the border, it will be difficult to avoid being noticed.
And if the troops sent are not enough and there is no guarantee of success, after all everyone knows that the grain road is an important area, enough troops and horses will be sent to guard it.
It was Xu You who told Cao Cao the important information that "Although there are soldiers, they are defenseless" in Wuchao, and even informed Yuan Jun of the loopholes in the defense line in front, Cao Cao completed an impossible "light troops rush attack the enemy's rear Wuchao"
Nest”, completed the comeback.
Now that Yuan Tan has made such a move, even though it seems extremely safe because the granary is arranged in the rear and there are no enemies on the surface, it is still considered a taboo for military strategists!
The reason why Yuan Tan took such a risk was either because Feng Gao was too difficult to crack down on, forcing him to use all the troops here.
Either...
The offensive and defensive battle over Fenggao has reached a critical moment. Yuan Tan thinks that he only needs to work harder to capture Fenggao!
As for how long Changxi can last, Wang Zheng actually has no idea.
After all, the other party is not logged into the system.
Therefore, after Wu Yuan reported that the troops who had been severely damaged were being replaced and the defense was relatively lax, even though he knew that the guard Gao Lan was a general, Wang Zheng thought about it and made a decisive decision to take action immediately.
Maybe this is not the best opportunity, but if you miss it, you may never have another chance!
Once Yuan Tan entered Fenggao before he burned the grain road, occupied the city and defended it...
What can he do with the few men he has to recapture it?
So in the afternoon, the army rushed out from the valley where they were hiding and quickly approached Tuqiu Mountain at a rapid marching speed.
At midnight, three thousand heavenly troops followed the nearest road and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, there was no need to worry about hiding his whereabouts. If Yuan Tan didn't know about it before, even if he got the news now, it would be too late!
Thanks to the cover of night, it was not until five miles away that the Jizhou officers and soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain discovered Wang Zheng's movements. At first, they even mistakenly thought they were friendly troops who were coming to change defenses again.
But even so, they didn't dare to be careless. While setting fire to warn people, they immediately sent people to spread the news to the top of the mountain.
The soldier who was responsible for delivering the message was intercepted and killed by Wu Yuan and his men who were ambushing him.
Choosing to attack at night was because Wang Zheng considered that the defenders on the top of the mountain had a huge visual advantage during the day and would not be the first to notice. As for Yuan Jun at the foot of the mountain or on the mountainside, if he wanted to report the news from the bottom up, he had already considered this and set off with the army.
Before that, Wu Yuan was asked to lead a group of elites from the Tianzhu Camp. Under the leadership of the old man, they secretly went up the mountain from the back mountain and lurked around the camp.
With a combination of mental arithmetic and the advantage of height, Wu Yuan naturally discovered the approaching Heavenly Army earlier than Yuan Jun at the foot of the mountain. When he saw that there were sentries trying to convey a message to Gao Lan and others at the top of the mountain, he immediately took action decisively.
Soldiers are valuable and quick. When two armies are fighting, the importance of information is undoubted, and even a moment's delay is extremely important.
the other side.
Discovering that there was no response from the top of the mountain, Uncle Yuan Jun at the foot of the mountain felt something was wrong. He was hesitating whether to send someone to notify him again or to retreat to the top of the mountain to join the friendly forces. When the Heavenly Army had already formed its formation, following Wang Zheng's order,
The sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, and eight hundred iron cavalry took the lead in launching a charge!
That's right, the number of iron cavalry has doubled now, and the total number of third-level troops under Wang Zheng's command has exceeded 2,000!
This time, half of them stepped into Mount Tai with him.
When he captured Pi and even chased Liu Bei thousands of miles away, he had already accumulated a huge amount of experience points through the continuous battles and killings. Originally, Wang Zheng planned to cut off anyone at the critical moment when the battle escalated, but in the end he failed because he had no chance.
It has been kept to no use.
This time to rescue Feng Gao, because his own troops were really not enough, Wang Zheng thought about it again and decided to first increase the combat power of his troops again, and put aside his personal combat power for the time being. After all, since he can now tie with Zhang Fei, let alone
Invincible in the world (after all, there is still Lu Bu here), rushing into battle to save one's life is already enough.
What's more, after the battle of annihilating the country in Beihai, there will be a lot of new experience gained, so Wang Zheng has nothing to be reluctant to part with, so the latest information on the system screen now is like this.

The guard general was extremely lucky at this time. His colleagues before the change of defense left them a complete camp, including the anti-horse trench and the fence. Even at the main entrance, in addition to the solid wooden door, there was a row of anti-horse camps.
Although these may not be able to stop the roaring cavalry, they finally buy time for the Jizhou army to assemble effectively.
In particular, although there was no movement on the top of the mountain, the Yuan army on the mountainside got wind of the news and came to fight with them. The number of people at the end of the day was close to 3,000. Regardless of success or failure, at least they could hold on for a while longer. Look at the situation on the top of the mountain.
Gao Lan how to deal with it.
When the iron cavalry braved the rain of arrows from Jizhou archers and forced their way in through the barricades and camp gates, Yuan Jun hurriedly and slowly formed a defensive square.
"kill!"
Amidst the deafening shouts of death, with the help of a short charge, the iron cavalry rushed towards the formation of the Jizhou Army with overwhelming power.
Even though they had already experienced the baptism of Baima Yicong, one of the strongest cavalry in the world, seeing the roaring momentum from the opposite side, like a mountain collapsing and burning the sea, still made the Jizhou army instinctively feel the threat of the enemy on the opposite side.
There was obvious panic and shock on the face of the company guard. Many Jizhou soldiers in the front row facing the cavalry turned pale and their legs were shaking.
The next moment, when the soldiers were fighting hand to hand, it was proved that their perception was correct.
As the first row of cavalry rode into the formation, countless figures were completely knocked away in the rain of blood in an instant!
The flexible leather armor has a good defensive effect against swords, but it has no effect at all in the face of the terrifying impact of the war horses. Some unlucky Jizhou soldiers were even knocked several meters away, and their sternum was completely shattered and fractured.
The cavalry charge is so terrifying. The Jizhou army, which has been at war with Gongsun Zan for many years, has long been mentally prepared for this, which can make them collapse...
This cavalry was obviously wearing light armor and was not a heavy cavalry. Why did the archers behind them keep bending their bows and shooting arrows without causing much damage?
How come their defense is so outrageous?
After discovering this problem, Yuan Jun began to fall into unprecedented chaos almost immediately!
You must know that the biggest motivation for them to hold up the front is that they can rely on their own powerful crossbows to achieve success. They can defeat the opponent before they are scattered!
"Hold it! Hold it!"
Nadu Bo shouted with all his strength, trying hard to restore the shattered morale of the army, and organized his men to continue the defense.
Because he knew that time was in Yuan Jun's favor. Every minute and second passed, more Yuan Jun troops were gathering and coming.
Although the enemy's cavalry can charge freely, it cannot defeat a regular army in a short period of time, even if this army has suffered close to 20% battle losses in such a short period of time.
But he forgot that these cavalry were only the vanguard, and there were two thousand infantry behind them.
While the shouts and shouts of killing filled the sky, Wang Zheng stood in the formation in the distance, reining in his horse, with a calm look on his face.
Even when the soldiers under his command were clenching their weapons and staring nervously ahead to fight, he seemed indifferent and didn't even look at it. He just looked up at Tuqiu Mountain in the dark night to identify the location of Yuan Jun's commander's flag on the top of the mountain.
And an estimate of the cost required to capture this place.
Wang Zheng did not pay much attention to this first battle. Even though the Yuan army on the opposite side was far from the ordinary defenders, once the cavalry charged, in addition to the spearmen, they had an absolute advantage over other infantry. The eight hundred cavalry
In a battle with two thousand soldiers, how can there be any suspense about the outcome?
What's more, the iron cavalry inherently restrained Yuan Jun's greatest advantage, long-range attacks!
After all, he is already familiar with the power of the third-level iron cavalry. Compared with the second-level elite light cavalry, the former has not improved much in terms of riding skills, mobility, and even direct combat power. The only change is the defensive power!
Or to be more precise, survivability.
It was an indescribable change. The equipment was obviously the same, but under the same circumstances of being caught in the enemy's formation under the rain of arrows, the proportion of the iron cavalry, whether seriously injured or directly killed, was much lower for no reason.
However, even if the royal government system is excellent, it is not that the eyes of the sky have been opened after all. In the night, they are far apart, and after looking for a long time, they could not see the specific situation on the top of the mountain.
Just forget it if you can't see it.
He shook his head and finally turned his attention to the front. At this time, under the charge of the iron cavalry, Yuan Jun saw that he was in a state of collapse, and there were no more reinforcements on the mountainside. It seemed that the lure was almost there.
That being the case, it’s time!
Choosing the most elite cavalry as the vanguard is, on the one hand, considering that among the more than 3,500 men and horses this time, most of them are new soldiers. Naturally, it is most appropriate to fight with the advantage of the wind first, and then let them go up. On the other hand,
, also thinking that it would be best to use the pressure of the cavalry to transfer Yuan Jun's garrison from another place.
It is naturally the worst situation for Yuan's troops from three places to gather together, but it is not appropriate to leave a large group of troops on the top of the mountain, condescendingly.
As Wang Zheng waved his hand, Wang Xiong behind him stepped out in awe, raising flags and beating drums.
A drum beat, and countless sounds of unsheathing, a full array of swords were raised, and spears stood as high as a forest.
With the second drum beat, Wang Zheng reined in his horse and turned around, smiling at the nervous-looking recruits.
With a three-tone drum and a loud shout, Wang Zheng took the lead and rushed towards the opposite side.
"kill!"
Seeing the general's bravery, two thousand people also burst out shouting at the same time, following closely behind.
It’s a full-scale attack!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Wang Zheng had already rushed through the rain of arrows fired by Yuan Jun's rear formation. Seeing the way he was dressed and the size of the formation, even though he was being pressed down by the iron cavalry and fighting again, Yuan Jun still arranged
A group of people came out to greet him, and the two sides collided in an instant!
Then a dazzling blue light tore through the night, and countless miserable screams were heard.
Every time Wang Zheng swung his sword, blood rained down into the air, and limbs and heads were severed. The popping sound, accompanied by the screams of the injured, was unbearable to hear and unbearable to see.
But in an instant, he easily crushed a team of fifty who dared to stop in front of him.
After picking away the last few spears that were stabbed in despair, Wang Zheng's long sword swept around again and harvested another wave of heads. He put his legs together and stood on the horse. He looked in front of him indifferently. At this time, the outcome was the outcome.
It was almost time to see the end of the battle, and Yuan's army had begun to flee.
Then the next step is to consolidate the results.
"My general orders that no one should be let go in this battle!"
Wang Zheng urged his horse and shouted loudly. While issuing the order of total annihilation, he once again led the troops and horses. They advanced tens of meters and bypassed directly from the side. He took more than a dozen soldiers to go deep into the enemy's formation, picking off them one after another along the way.
A dozen or so scattered Yuan troops, riding alone, approached the Yuan army's formation twenty or thirty meters away.
"Quick, get back to the top of the mountain!"
After seeing that the enemy's new force had joined, it had become one-sided in a short period of time. The uncle quickly made a correct judgment on the situation. At this time, he also knew that he could no longer ask for help from the top of the mountain, so he tried his best to organize the soldiers.
On the other hand, we are preparing to take some elite troops to retreat in an orderly manner.
The enemy clearly is not coming for them, and the most important thing here is not the success or failure of two teams of thousands of people. The most important thing is to guard the food on the mountain!
Moreover, the opponent's number is only 3,000. If I can bring a few hundred more people back to the top of the mountain, I will have more confidence in defending this place!
This place is less than a hundred miles away from the front line of Fenggao City. Once news of the incident comes out, Yuan Tan will be able to send reinforcements by tomorrow at the latest due to the urgent march.
As he turned around and led the people to run towards the mountain, Uncle Dub was still thinking in his heart.
Where did the enemy come from?
Who is the young general who rushes into the formation and is so brave?
One question after another kept popping up in my mind, but at this moment, I suddenly heard a sharp roar coming from behind! It was extremely penetrating!
The hair on Dub's whole body instantly exploded!
He had been in the army for many years, and he could guess that it was some kind of hard object of gold and iron that broke through the air without even looking. He secretly screamed something bad, and his first reaction was not to turn his head to look, but to pretend that it was a sideways movement and try to avoid it.
This secret arrow!
Little did he know that it was a mistake. If he hadn't done this, he might have been fine.
The next moment, a javelin pierced through the uncle, causing a scream like a slaughtered pig.
His momentum continued unabated, and his entire body was lifted into the air. He flew for a long distance before falling to the ground with a thud.
The moment he threw the javelin, Wang Zheng had already withdrawn his sight. He had never had much confidence in the accuracy of his long-range attacks. He just hit three poles when there was no date, and when he saw an enemy running far away, he picked it up conveniently.
Throw the spear on the ground at will. Whether or not the shot hits the target depends on God's will.
As a result, when I subconsciously glanced at the suspended face frame, I saw that the long-range attack that had not been used for a long time had become a little more familiar, and I was immediately surprised.
Oh? I hit it this time!
It's a pity that there are not many spectators around this time, and the winner is not a famous player, but he can't brag about it and can't pretend to be false, so he can't help but secretly say it's a pity.
At this time, the victory was decided. Yuan's army on the field was either dead or surrendered. Those who escaped were divided into two groups. One part fled towards the mountains, and the other part collapsed towards Fenggao.
It didn't matter that they were in the mountains, but Wang Zheng, who had fled to Fenggao, couldn't let go, so he ordered the iron cavalry to go after them immediately, making sure not to let anyone go.
Not to mention the complete victory in the first battle, the battle ended faster than expected. This made Wang Zheng secretly relieved. At the same time, it was an exciting start for the new soldiers who were entering the battlefield for the first time. Even the soldiers of the Heavenly Army,
Many people have experienced contempt in their lives.
"Before we set off, the general also said that the Jizhou Army was a powerful army in the world. It was nothing like that. But when we see it today, it's not that great either."
Wang Zheng smiled and said nothing to explain.
At this time, it would be a good thing to make these veterans proud and inspire the new recruits to become fearless.
Because there is still a tough battle to fight next.
While his soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Wang Zheng, guarded by his personal guards, once again looked at the mountainous terrain of Tuqiu Mountain from a close distance. In the jumping firelight, his sword eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
With his physique, looking from bottom to top at this moment, he can already get a general idea.
The village on the top of the mountain has been completely transformed into a huge granary, but before that, it was a huge war fortress!
With the commotion down there, the defenders on the top of the mountain must have already noticed it, and were probably even more prepared to defend it to the death!
