My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 121 The mighty front, trapped in danger

On May [-]th, west of Yanzhou, Yushanyuan.

Before daybreak, groups of scouts and cavalrymen started running among the camps more than ten miles away. When the sky got dark, the Bugle Company and the huge number of troops stationed in the camp woke up.

The imperial court's counter-rebellion army consisted of 15 soldiers and horses spread out for more than [-] miles from front to back and left and right. Each army had a different division of labor. There were several battalions in the army, two or three miles apart. All communications were relayed by cavalry. At a glance, the mountains and plains were covered with mountains and plains. It is the figure of a man and a horse.

Hundreds of thousands of commanding cavalry rushed back and forth between the various armies of the central army, with [-] tigers and [-] dragons on both wings, divided into twenty battalions, occupying a radius of nearly twenty miles.

Ten thousand Shengnu troops and fifteen thousand Shibuya troops were the left and right spearheads of the front formation, guarding the Yan Xunqi in the middle formation. They were about 7000 soldiers and horses directly from the veteran general Guo Xin, a mixture of horse and foot.

The six thousand Yanshan cavalry were divided into three groups. Two groups were located on both sides of the Shengnu and Shibuya troops. The last group of two thousand cavalry wandered between the middle formation and the front formation. For the [-] county soldiers and horses who were not good at fighting, [-] of them were Falling at the rear, as a rear guard, to prevent the opponent's enemy cavalry from making a roundabout attack.

The other 3 people serve as the vanguard of the concave-shaped formation, forming six military formations of 5000 people in front. Like insect tentacles, they are responsible for exploring the road, probing and fighting with the enemy, and then reporting the enemy's situation back to the Chinese army, and then decentralizing the various units. The military is ready to respond.

However, before everything was ready, the first battle report had been delivered to Guo Xin from the south.

Then the second copy was sent from the north. A 2000-man Shibuya army was ambushed in the mountains. The commander of the army was beheaded and was defeated. Another Shibuya army went to rescue and repel the invading enemy.

The army advanced in a mighty manner, the sky was covered with dust and smoke stretching for miles, and Yan Guo's banner fluttered in pieces. The old man stood on the chariot, listening to the cavalry's report on the situation of each army, as well as the battle report sent by the scouts. General Li Gan was dressed in military uniform, standing on his horse. Looking at the expressionless old man, he felt a little worried and said tentatively: "I have fought against this army before. The commander must not tangle with them. The rebels are testing this. "

Probing friction is a common occurrence before a battle. Guo Xin has been leading troops for decades, so how could he not know this?

He had no objection to Li Gan's reminder. He looked at the vast dust and smoke and smiled: "I'm not afraid of them coming out, I'm afraid of them hiding and avoiding fighting."

Ling Qi took the old commander's order and flew to send a message to the general of the Shibuya Army to the north of the concave array. He ignored the opponent's temptation and pounced directly to bite the opponent. He didn't care about casualties and suppressed the enemy with superior force, heading south. drive away.

The raw slave army in the south also received the same order, but the raw slave soldiers below were somewhat reluctant.

The sudden change of generals made them somewhat dissatisfied.

However, the old commander who presided over the counter-rebellion did not get the expected harvest. The enemy generals seemed to have seen the tactics he used. Whether it was Shibuya or the slave army, they were counterattacked. Fight once, then immediately withdraw, pursue again, fight again, and then retreat, without giving the opponent any chance to reinforce, outflank, or drive them away.

At the same time, the [-] county soldiers and horses used as the vanguard for testing received the order from General Guo Xin, and the five battalions encircled the two groups, faintly attacking the two pursued enemy forces in the north and south directions.

……

More than ten miles away, at the Rongzhou Center Formation to the west of Yushan Plain, the messages delivered by the scouts were circulated to the generals on standby, and then all were placed in the ancestral coffin for reference by a group of ancestors. Countermeasures.

"Cheerti's strategy of attacking and defending, coupled with Han Xin's tactics of being embattled on all sides!" the spirit of Han Emperor Gaozu said softly.

Soon, Su Chen's orders were issued one by one, and the Xiliang and Bingzhou troops in the front line began to take action.

——First eat these two [-] county troops who want to outflank the north and south.

If this kind of local troops and horses do not have frontal hard steel, if ignored, cutting into the battlefield will cause great trouble for the attack. If they attack, the door of the front line will be open to the opponent's main force.

Right now, the role of being trapped in the camp is reflected here.

The Bingzhou Army broke out, with only 6000 men, including only 500 light cavalry, but Zhang Liao didn't care, as this was already a wealthy battle.

The soldiers and horses moved forward in a circuitous way to the southeast. In the startled dust and smoke, he reined in his horse and stopped. He pressed his knife and looked back to say goodbye to him. "The opponent's main force is huge in number, and it depends on you!"

"Okay, we can only hold on for three days, and we will not retreat within three days!"

Gao Shun's unsmiling face became more serious. He raised his hand towards Zhang Liao and gave it a heavy bow, then got on his horse.Immediately, the two parted ways.

"Trapped into camp!"

Gao Shun galloped past the 800-man array in front, followed by 300 auxiliary soldiers. Looking at the galloping general, they slapped their shields and said, "Here we are!"

"How dare you be trapped in the enemy's formation and fight to the death without retreating!"

"dare!"

Gao Shun chuckled, turned his horse's head and shouted: "Let's go straight ahead and see what they can do to me!"

……

Three miles away from here, Dong Zhuo wiped the blade of the knife and put into his arms the silk handkerchief embroidered with birds, which was given to him by his adopted daughter.

"Xiliang Erlang, it's time for us to go." Originally, the purpose of stationing the front line was to resist the opponent's main force, the Shibuya Army. Now, the purpose has been changed and the county soldiers and horses are killed. Although it is not the opponent's main force, it is not important anymore. .

After being taken away by Guan and Zhang each with a battalion of soldiers and horses, there were only 6000 Xiliang troops left under his command, and there were no deputy generals available. The entire army was now supported by him alone.

Soon, six thousand Xiliang troops followed Dong Zhuo and quickly crossed the battlefield and ran for five miles into the hilly area to the north. With the heavy traffic of scouts, after another two miles, they finally saw the fifteen thousand county troops outflanking the north. .

The terrain was undulating, and [-] county soldiers followed General Chen Longen and rushed northward like a tide.As the leader of the miscellaneous soldiers, Chen Longen's mission was to test and delay. Now that he suddenly received the order to outflank, he felt excited. This was different from testing the enemy and serving as cannon fodder.

As long as you perform well on the battlefield, you will be appreciated by the emperor in the future. At this time, he rode his horse up a slope and was looking through the march map to find signs. In his peripheral vision, an army of less than [-] people appeared on their left. side.

The distance between the two sides is only three miles, which is not too far. You can see each other from a high position on the slope.

"Rebels?"

Chen Longen murmured in a low voice, then raised his hand. The advancing army quickly changed its marching array and began to form a battle formation.He wanted to push back this enemy force as quickly as possible and complete the outflank order as quickly as possible.

"Get ready!" he ordered.

"Prepare!"

The same voice also sounded among the 5000 Xiliang troops. Dong Zhuo rode on his mount, looked at the [-] people in formation, and pulled out his serrated knife.

The array behind them drew their swords and prepared their spears, and eight hundred archers stepped forward to stand beside their comrades. Those who could become archers were all elite soldiers, with excellent arm strength and endurance. Long-distance rapid marches did not cause them any trouble.

At the moment when fifteen thousand soldiers and horses from counties and counties were pushing forward, Dong Zhuo rushed out. The six thousand Xiliang soldiers behind him let out a "ha" sound, tightened their swords and guns, and started running after them. , sprinting all over the mountains and plains.

Arrows flew in the air and landed on the crowds on both sides, causing blood. The faces of the Xiliang soldiers who had long been accustomed to fighting and charging were full of anger. The infantry in the front row raised their shields while running, and then hit them with a bang. Entering the opponent's array, on the left and right, and all around, more shields were raised and shrunk, avoiding the thrusting spears, and crashed into the crowd one after another.

Then, they all swung their swords and slashed at the enemies in front of them crazily. The murderous aura that was like breaking iron made the soldiers and horses of the counties who had never experienced fighting tremble.

Blood spurted wildly on the front line.

"Hold on!" Chen Longen kept giving orders or shouting loudly from behind the formation, "Push back, kill over, and chop off the enemy general's head!"

"follow me!"

There were fanatical shouts in his ears. Dong Zhuo closed his eyes. The blood in his veins seemed to be burning. He dragged the serrated knife and led 1000 people around the battlefield from the other side, inserted directly from the flank and pounced directly on this person. A central formation of troops and horses.

A stick of incense!

This county soldiers and horses, which had been trained simply for many years and had never fought before, met the Xiliang soldiers who were fighting all the way. They only resisted a stick of incense and were torn apart by the collision on the slope. What followed was a rout all over the mountains and plains. The soldiers fled frantically in all directions.

The general, Chen Longen, was running away while gathering up the broken troops. Before he could take a position, he was once again smashed to pieces by a small group of Xiliang soldiers swarming in. He himself was also among the soldiers and was shot to death by cold arrows. Finally, he was killed by a small soldier. Cut off the head.

……

Another county army in the south was also intercepted by Zhang Liao's [-] Bingzhou Army. Compared with the wildness of the Xiliang soldiers, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army appeared to be extremely orderly. Formations alternated and coordinated with each other, inch by inch. Defeat the opponent's defense.

However, Guo Xin, who was in the center of the imperial court, had already received news of the battle and seemed to have expected it, so he did not care about the casualties of the two groups of soldiers.

He smiled and looked at the information in his hand, then handed it to Li Gan.

"These two troops were originally intended to trick the opponent into the front line for rescue. Now they have indeed fallen into the trap, haha... Now the opponent's center gate is wide open, exposing the center line! Send the order, I will order the two battalions of Shibuya, with 4000 people, to go south in a roundabout way. , one battalion of two thousand slave soldiers headed north, two battalions of Huben troops, go out together with Long Xiang, and go straight into the opponent's formation!"

Boo! !

The morning light had risen to the clouds, and a high-pitched eagle call came from the sky filled with white clouds.

The old man raised his head and glanced, and while he was frowning, the battle report of the frontline battle had arrived. The thirty thousand local soldiers and horses who were chess pieces had been killed across the board!
"Trash, can't even last an hour!"

At the same time as he cursed, four thousand Shibuya and two thousand Shengnu troops were surrounded by giants and rushed towards the middle. Cooperating with them were four thousand Tiger Ben and four thousand Dragon Xiang who were slowly advancing.

However, what surprised Shibuya and Inu, who came to the middle battlefield first, was that a troop of more than a thousand soldiers and horses stood firmly on their way forward.

Then, he set up his formation and attacked them without fear!

For a moment, it was a scalp-numbing confrontation!
　I was so frustrated with this chapter. I wanted everyone to understand the battlefield situation. I really wrote it bit by bit and laid out the battlefield situation.
