I wish everyone a good rest and happy reading in the second grade of junior high school——
As Zhang He and Gao Lan's army advanced, the trees on the two slopes in front suddenly fell down. On the slopes, a thousand stone-launching carts were ready to go.
With the waving of a green flag, debris like locusts came overwhelmingly. Zhang He and Gao Lan's army suffered the first blow. The troops running in front flinched under this sudden blow.
.At the same time, it also hindered the pace of follow-up troops.
For a moment, everyone in Yuan Shao's army who could move retreated backwards. There was no one who could move in the rockfall area. Only the seriously injured people were left groaning and wailing.
Zhang He remained calm in the face of danger and shouted: "Those who advance bravely will be rewarded. Those who retreat in the face of the enemy will be beheaded!"
Gao Lan also shouted at the right time: "Brothers, rush! We will win if we cross this distance."
A group of soldiers quickly conveyed the shouts of Zhang He and Gao Lan. The formation supervisors holding swords also stood up.
Following the orders of Zhang He and Gao Lan, the second group of troops and the troops who had returned from the last defeat rushed forward again. These soldiers shouted loudly while rushing. For a time, everywhere on the battlefield was full of people.
Echoing: "Rush! Rush over and we will survive."
As these words echoed, Zhang He, Gao Lan's stormtroopers hypnotized themselves, and once again boosted their morale. In order to survive, they once again accelerated their speed and rushed forward.
Rubbles continued to fall from the sky, and people kept falling down among the advancing army. It may be that they have seen too much and have become numb. Or it may be that they have exploded with greater vitality in order to survive. Zhang He
, Gao Lan's second wave of stormtroopers stepped on the corpses of their companions and advanced quickly.
After passing the rockfall area, it was indeed safe. The surviving soldiers roared and were ready to vent their grief over the death of their companions on the enemy troops in front. However, just when they were still two hundred steps away from the slope, disaster struck again.
fell on their heads.
Countless arrows rained down from the hillside. Each of these warriors who survived the rockfall had several sharp arrows pierced through their bodies. They fell helplessly in front of the slope.
Now that we are back, there is no way to retreat. All the troops attacking this time were killed in front of these two slopes.
Zhang He and Gao Lan also frowned. It was difficult to handle. In a short period of time, the two-man army was gone. If we continue to charge forward, how many casualties will there be?
Zhang He and Gao Lan looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness. No matter how heavy the casualties were, they had to fight. Originally, the lord was already dissatisfied with the two of them for not pursuing Yan Liang. What if he and others
After losing 20,000 troops, they were blocked by the few troops in front of them.
There is no way to move here, and the lord Yuan Shao will definitely not let his two brothers go. Moreover, the enemy is blocking the way. Even if he and others want to retreat and set up camp now, I am afraid they may not allow it. When the time comes, then the troops led by my brother will
These troops are destined to be defeated.
Xu You was also observing and thinking at this time. Although Xu You was not as familiar with the terrain here as Zhang He and Gao Lan, Xu You could see from the shape of the two hillside. No matter how you looked at it, you felt that these two hillside
It doesn't look like it was formed naturally. Moreover, the enemy has placed rocks on the hillside.
The chariots and archers were prepared. This preparation is too sufficient. It is impossible not to be prepared for the army to rush forward. The few troops next to the slope cannot be so small? And the front of the breakthrough has not been opened yet.
It's unreasonable for soldiers to defend. There must be a conspiracy and a trap here.
Xu You was so frightened that he sweated when he thought about it. Xu You said in a trembling voice: "Generals, wait a moment to attack. There is a trap ahead. The slope does not appear to be natural. If we attack from the front, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties."
Zhang He smiled bitterly in his heart: What kind of traps should be used? The combination of the two arms of stone-shooting vehicles and archers alone formed such a wide range of medium and long-range strike coverage, which was beyond the reach of infantrymen like him.
That's what Zhang He thought. But Zhang He couldn't help but follow Xu You's words and cast his gaze to the hillside in the distance.
Zhang He is a martial arts student, and his eyesight is much sharper than Xu You's. Now when he took a closer look, Zhang He was shocked. These two slopes were not naturally formed. He saw that these two slopes were facing him.
, is very steep. Now that we have no climbing siege equipment, even if our troops rush to the bottom of the hillside at the risk of death, they may not be able to do anything to the enemy troops on the hillside. It will only increase casualties.
.
Zhang He glanced at Gao Lan worriedly. Apparently Gao Lan also discovered the problem.
Gao Lan lowered his voice and said: "We can't attack by force. Let's retreat. Let's set up the camp first, and then we can discuss how to attack here."
Zhang He shook his head and said: "We can't retreat. As soon as we retreat, his army will cover up and kill us. Even if we want to be undefeated, it will be difficult. If we lose to this enemy army, we can't wait for the master."
What Zhang He said was true. For a while, the generals leading the team were in a dilemma.
Xu You rolled his eyes and said with a smile on his face: "Two generals, the enemy is just relying on the man-made geographical advantage to defend according to the danger. This also proves that our previous guess is good. The enemy's troops are indeed short. That's the case. 2
General, why don't you divide your troops and attack in a detour. With such an open ground, as long as we don't attack directly, but attack both wings at the same time. With their archers, it's not easy to capture them."
Zhang He, Gao Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this, it was indeed a good idea. However, Zhang He raised his eyes and saw the Youzhou soldiers on both sides of the hillside. Zhang He shook his head again and said: "That's not right, no.
OK. You see, there are soldiers guarding both sides of the two slopes. If we divide our troops and they intercept them with soldiers, and then use stone carts and archers to cut off our follow-up troops, what should we do?
withstand?"
Xu You smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? We can first use 10,000 soldiers and horses to spread out their formation and line them up outside the attack range of the stone-throwing chariot. Then carefully rush into the attack range of the stone-throwing chariot and wait for
When it launches, immediately dodge and exit. In this way, let it rush in and exit repeatedly, inducing the stone ejection of the stone cart to be ejected.
Although, it is impossible to prepare too much gravel on these two slopes. In this way, the stone cart is not something to be afraid of, and the two generals can take advantage of the bait to attract the enemy's attention.
Lead the army from the rear and circle around to both sides. If you are not prepared, you should be able to capture the two mountains on the slope from the back mountain in one fell swoop.
The enemy army. Moreover, in a hurry, even if the enemy army can intercept and block the two generals, the blocking troops have limited strength. How can they effectively block the two generals? Moreover, we are attacking from two sides at the same time.
The archers on the two slopes cannot form a dense cover like just now.
Cover shooting. And after the melee came together, they threw rat weapons. The power of the archers was also greatly reduced. By then, wouldn't it be the time for the two generals to achieve another miracle? Besides, if the archers changed direction, wouldn't they still be able to do it?
You command these soldiers and horses to attack from the front and coordinate with the actions of the two generals."
Zhang He and Gao Lan heard it and realized it made sense. They immediately acted according to the plan.
It's a pity. Although Xu You is very intelligent and has a good strategy, Xu You misestimated the strength of the troops ambushing here because of Zhu Ling's wrong report. He stood on the high platform and watched this picture.
Liu Ming, who was dispatching his troops and generals, was even more amused by their little tricks.
However, Liu Ming still cooperated and let the stone car fire several rounds of sparse stone rain. Waiting for Zhang He, Gao Lan's two army horses had already gone a long way. Only then did a large purple flag on the command podium appear.
wave.
After the slope, Zhang Liao, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the signal and immediately rushed out from the road between the two slopes with 20,000 strong cavalry. Helmets, armor, and even the horses were all covered in steel.
The strong cavalrymen who made skirts and hung their clothes suddenly rushed over, and the whole earth was covered
Trembling. And the soldiers Xu You blocked in the middle of the road were originally sparsely arranged in order to attract and dodge the bullets fired by the stone carts, but now they were even more vulnerable. The long snake, horizontally lined up,
It was instantly broken through by the sharp arrow array led by Zhang Liao.
When the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, Zhang He and Gao Lan knew something was wrong. But at this time, it was too late to rush back to rescue them. And even if they rushed back, they would still have to pass by the archers and shooters on the two slopes first.
Therefore, Zhang He and Gao Lan made the decision at the same time not to return to the army for rescue, but to capture these two slopes first. Zhang He and Gao Lan just prayed for Xu You in their hearts, hoping that
He is auspicious to people and heaven.
However, just like this, Zhang He and Gao Lan encountered quite a lot of trouble. The back sides of these two slopes were indeed relatively gentle, but there were not many soldiers waiting there. The number of enemy troops behind each slope
They are no less than their own troops. Moreover, they have camps as a support, and their own troops cannot attack them at all. The enemy troops they just saw were just a glimpse of the other side. And at this time, although
Those stone-making carts are difficult to turn, and there are no big ones
They abused Zhang He and Gao Lan's soldiers and horses. But the archers stationed on the slopes had no mercy at all. They were condescending and carried out projectiles. They fought in the front row and the fighting troops did not suffer anything.
Influence, but the back row
The follow-up troops were greatly ravaged. These follow-up troops could not rush forward and were blocked by their own front troops. They could not retreat and retreat. They were blocked by their own rear troops. So they were attacked one after another by Youzhou's troops.
The archers shot him to death on the spot.
As a result, the troops in front were quickly defeated without follow-up support. After the troops that followed rushed over, they were blocked by these retreating soldiers and were ravaged by Youzhou archers again.
Zhang He and Gao Lan realized that the situation was over almost at the same time, so they could only retreat temporarily and wait for the lord's reinforcements to arrive before looking for a good opportunity to attack.
However, it was too late for them to retreat at this time. Zhang Liao had already completely defeated Xu You in the middle, leaving only two thousand troops to guard and detain the surrendered enemy troops. Zhang Liao himself pressed Liu Ming's command on the command platform.
Order, follow these two slopes and kill them back.
The speed of the strong cavalry was so fast. Moreover, Zhang Liao walked in a small circle, and soon Zhang Liao launched an assault behind Zhang He and Gao Lan's queue.
Even if it is a frontal attack, there are not many troops in the world that can stop the frontal breakthrough of Youzhou's strong cavalry. What's more, Zhang Liao led the strong cavalry in a rear attack. In an instant, Zhang Liao was attacked from both sides, as well as from the air with bows and arrows.
Together, Gao Lan's army was defeated.
In this battle, Liu Ming defeated Yuan Shao's 100,000 army with very little losses. The only regret was that the 100,000 troops were too many, and because of Xu You's caution,
, making it impossible for Liu Ming to arrange for the interception of the rear troops. As a result, Yuan Shao's army of 100,000 was not completely wiped out, but some of them were allowed to escape.
Among the survivors who ran away, the main ones were Xu You, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other generals who had horses to travel with, more flexible minds, and higher martial arts skills. After running for more than sixty miles, they stopped
The steps come together.
Zhang He and Gao Lan were relatively speechless. It's over. It's over. There were only a few people left in the originally mighty army of 100,000. The Lord had to cut himself into pieces.
Xu You also said with a pale face: "It's over. It's over. We have been fooled. Too many soldiers and horses from Youzhou have come back this time. It seems that Lieutenant Liu has come back from the battlefield in Liaodong. And he came back with a large army. This
Mr. Chu, this time there is more misfortune than good."
As soon as Xu You said this, Zhang He and Gao Lan had no idea. Zhang He asked for help: "Commander Xu, what do you think we should do?"
Xu You calculated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Two generals, you were unable to pursue Yan Liang in the past and were almost killed by Lord Ben Chu. I could have said a few kind words to save your lives. But now you have lost ten more people."
With tens of thousands of troops, even I, as the military advisor accompanying the army, may not be able to escape my involvement. If you want to survive, it may be as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Zhang He and Gao Lan looked unwilling and said in unison: "The estimation of the troops was wrong, and the enemy's army is too powerful to be defeated. This is not our fault. I hope the military advisor can tell the difference for us."
Xu You shook his head and said: "It's difficult! It's difficult! It's difficult! Although the defeat of this battle is not our fault. However, the defeat of Zhu Lingjia's army and mine was a total loss of 150,000 troops.
In addition, Youzhou's army and horses can be laid out leisurely here, and I am afraid that Chunyu Qiong of Bohai City will also be in trouble.
That's the destruction of another hundred thousand soldiers and horses. In addition to the destruction of 30,000 soldiers and horses in Zhongshan County, as well as the soldiers and horses scattered throughout Jizhou, the number of soldiers and horses that Benchu Gong can control now is only a few hundred thousand. Now
The balance of military strength has reversed, Duke Benchu is about to be destroyed, how can he let you and me, the chief culprits go?"
