My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 123 Quietly changing the situation, changing offense and defense

White horses are hard to find in the army, but it is not impossible. Su Chen has to find one no matter what, so that he can match the white-robed general in his mind.

The white horse came, Zhao Yun raised his gray head, patted the horse's back, and laughed twice.

"The clouds are old, but the white horses are still there."

After saying that, he propped himself up with one hand, jumped up, and sat on the saddle. He turned around with his silver helmet and white tassel, "Yun was lying on the bed sick, still thinking about the Northern Expedition. When he was dying, he just wanted to ride a horse again and rush to the north. Fulfill His Majesty’s ambition!”

"Zilong, be careful when you go here!"

Liu Bei closed his eyes. After he left, the Shu Han people relied on the support of the older generation. At such an age, they still had to fight on the battlefield, which made him feel sad.

Next to him, Cao Cao laughed loudly: "General Zhao is a great hero, but it is better to listen to Duke Xuande, and it is better to be careful with thousands of troops!"

"Haha, back then, Yun was unharmed while charging through millions of troops, and he is unharmed today!"

Zhao Yun grabbed the gentian gun with his hand, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and the moment he pulled out the gun, the horse galloped away, his cloak fluttering, and the flying bear army chasing Li Jue disappeared in the eyes of everyone in the blink of an eye. A little touch.

"The million-strong army he just mentioned." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and stroked his long beard, "Why does it sound familiar to me?"

Turning his gaze, Old God Liu Bei floated past him.

"Another old pawn!" Xia Houyuan looked at the retreating figure and said bitterly. Then he was patted on the shoulder by Cao Cao, who put his arm around his shoulder. "Miaocai, follow Gu Gu behind the car. There are some I have something to ask you..."

At this time, there were no generals left in the central formation except Xia Houyuan. Zhao Yun and Li Jue went to ambush. Zhou Cang had previously sent him to the south to join Niu Gai.

At present, there are only [-] Yantangguan surrender troops and Longyang surrender troops left in a mixed military formation, and [-] shield warriors.

"If I had 10 people on the other side, I would dare to sweep over Wei State in one go, let alone Yan State."

Looking at the attack directions of the various armies and horses on the map, Su Chen called for the messengers, "Bring the news to Dong Zhuo and Zhang Liao, detour to the middle, meet Gao Shun, and the three armies will unite into one and attack the opponent's center. The strategy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty , it’s time to take effect.”

After receiving the order, the commander mounted his horse and galloped out.

Su Chen thought about whether to unlock an emperor to respond to emergencies. After all, it would be troublesome to have no generals available.

Just as he was lost in thought, on the other side of the battlefield, the scouts who were sending messages were vigorously beating their horses, and they were increasingly coming and going between tens of thousands of troops.

Guo Xin stood on the chariot and read every message carefully.From time to time, he turned his head and looked at the map spread out to the side, frowning: "What on earth is the front formation doing? It's been two hours, and the center formation hasn't broken through yet!"

Judging from the battle reports sent one after another, the battle advanced by Yu Shanyuan did not go as smoothly as expected. A group of four thousand troops on both wings could not fight and had been hovering on the edge of the battlefield to form a deterrent.

The old man's original plan was to take advantage of this and use [-] county troops as bait to attract the two troops blocking the entrance to support the interception, exposing the space in the middle gate.

However, he did not expect that the 4000 men he sent have not yet been able to pull out the troops.

"wrong!"

Guo Xin noticed the changes in the middle and immediately summoned his cavalry: "Hu Ben and Long Xiang will send out another battalion to build a defense line in the middle. The opponent's Bingzhou and Xiliang armies will move around."

Facing the rebels on the opposite side, the old commander realized that it was not how powerful the opponent's general was, but the generals of each army. Their ability to judge the battlefield and lead troops to fight was quite outstanding. If it were put to the imperial court, any one of them would be able to defeat them. A general who can lead an army.

Just when he focused on the battlefield in the middle, on the north and south wings of Yushan Plain, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led two thousand Xiliang troops, and fought a fierce battle in the mountains and forests with the five thousand Shibuya troops who were chasing after them.

Zhang Fei commanded his troops to divide the battlefield. Guan Yu suddenly rode into the formation and beheaded the generals, defeating them head-on. He then turned around and started to pursue them, chasing the defeated troops and running all over the mountains and fields. In the mountains and forests, corpses could be seen crawling on the ground everywhere. Stretching eastward, a long road of corpses was paved.

Shen time.

On the edge of the Yushan original battlefield fifteen miles to the south, two battalions of 4000 slave soldiers fought together with Niugai and Zhoucang's soldiers and horses. Warning arrows on both sides continued to shoot into the sky. After hearing the news, a thousand people came Before the Yanshan Cavalry entered the battlefield, they encountered Ma Chao and his [-] cavalry who had also arrived. They pounced directly on the Yanshan Cavalry with the attitude of a mountain collapse, killing more than a hundred cavalry, and the opponent immediately retreated three miles to rest.

Soon after, facing an almost equal number of [-] Bingzhou troops and [-] cavalry, the slave army simply surrendered.

The sky is setting.

Seeing Wu Yangyang's sturdy figure put down his weapon and sit lazily on the ground, Ma Chao hurried over and looked at them condescendingly.

"Which of you can speak Yan Guo dialect?"

"I know a lot, Yan people!" A slave-born man who looked a little older raised his hand, "You want to ask, why should we surrender?"

Ma Chao looked at him indifferently and nodded on his horse.

The slave slave was still smiling at first, but when he saw Ma Chao's eyes, he shuddered suddenly and felt inexplicably timid: "We have not wanted to fight for a long time. Anuhu has been replaced. We don't want the general of Yan State to ride on him." On our heads.”

"Then if I tell you that all the slave tribes in the snowy plains have rebelled and are going to attack the Yan Kingdom, will you still be willing to take up arms?"

The Shengnuren, who could speak Yan Guo dialect, was suddenly stunned and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Really?"

"You can ask if those defeated troops are true. You will understand after this battle is over." Ma Chao reined in the reins, and the tiger-headed golden gun slammed into the ground. "Answer me now, are you willing to take it?" Get your weapons and fight the imperial court!"

"Dry!"

Ma Chao's temper seemed to be in line with theirs. The Shengnu man picked up his weapon again and shouted several times in the Shengnu language at his fellow tribesmen sitting on the ground around him. It seemed that he knew that the tribes in the snowy field were rebelling against the imperial court. They stood up again one by one. , raised the weapon in his hand and let out an excited roar, venting his frustration at the change of generals before the battle!

"You, for the time being, lead your tribe and follow the Bingzhou Army to the middle road. When you meet the rest of the other slave soldiers, let them rebel together and join us!"

"I hope you are right, General Yan!"

The slave took two steps back and bowed to Ma Chao: "You are the most courageous general of Yan I have ever seen."

Zhou Cang and Niu Gai laughed, feeling that the barbarian was saying that Ma Chao was also a barbarian.

Ma Chao was too lazy to pay attention to them and glanced at the dusk. The white horse under him neighed and started galloping. The wind blew on his face, which made him expressionless and even indifferent. He yelled "Drive!" and whipped his horse whip fiercely. The twitching sound.

I've decided on the head of the court coach!
The gentle sound of wind in the wilderness then turned into a whimper in the night.

A camp has been set up in the middle of the road. Dong Zhuo opened the curtain and came in with a bloody aura. Inside the tent, Zhang Liao was bandaging Gao Shun. After a day of fighting, the Eight Hundred Camps carried 4000 people to attack back and forth. They were almost maimed. Now they only There are about 50 people left, and there are about [-] auxiliary soldiers. Everyone is injured, and it is basically impossible to fight anymore.

"After receiving the general's order, we originally wanted to outflank the 4000 people. Unexpectedly, the other party responded quickly and had already sent [-] troops to set up a defensive line."

Zhang Liao tightened the bandage in his hand and said, "It would be great if Le Jin were here to cooperate with you. You two complement each other, one is good at attacking and the other is good at defending." "Humph, my Xiliang soldiers are also good at attacking."

Dong Zhuo sat down across from him, took the water bag handed by his soldiers, poured some water on his face, and rubbed it vigorously: "I am not old enough to wield a sword. When I get here, I am stronger than when I was young." Son."

He suddenly sat upright and came back, looking at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun opposite: "I have a good idea. Let's attack these more than 1 people directly tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at each other and laughed: "It is indeed a good idea!"

……

The camp was dotted with bonfires, beyond the camp of tens of thousands of people more than ten miles away. More than 20 miles away, there was the camp of tens of thousands of people. When Li Gan, the general of the Tiger Army, came over, the old man living in the commander's tent was still watching. Battle reports, and maps.

His frown deepened with each piece of news.

"Before sending troops, I thought that facing an army of 15, these rebels would slyly withdraw to avoid fighting and then confront us with cunning tactics. Unexpectedly, they would fight us back and forth with such a small force. Every time Every counterattack is very organized, it’s really an army that emerges from the battlefield, much stronger than the soldiers who just left the barracks.”

Li Gan stood at the tent and couldn't answer the question, so he just said: "It's getting late, so it's time for the commander to take off his armor and rest."

"I can't sleep. In my entire life as a soldier, I have never seen an army that can fight like this. I'm so excited!" Guo Xin took a pen and ink, sketched the strength of the troops on the map, and conducted various deductions. "You said that the two wings of the rebels are constantly What’s the purpose of dragging Shibuya and Isumi together?”

"Contain the battlefield. As long as they are undefeated, they can go south or north to threaten both sides of our army at any time, or go around and launch a surprise attack!"

"I've had this thought too, and I agree with what you said."

Guo Xin stared at the map, his eyes a little cloudy: "I always feel that they have something else to do."

"Commander, almost all the enemy's forces are clear, and they can't form other armies."

Just as the two were pointing at the map and analyzing the distribution of the rebel armies, news about the battlefield finally arrived that night. These messages were all far apart, and it was already late at night when they arrived.

The five thousand Shibuya army that was chasing the Xiliang army in the north were killed and defeated. Now the opponent is continuing to move towards the east flank.

The Shengnu army that suppressed the Bingzhou Army was forced to surrender. A thousand Yanshan cavalry were killed and more than a hundred people were defeated. They retreated to a place twelve miles away from the central formation and camped to rest. The Bingzhou Army in the south did not advance eastward with prisoners, but went north. Enter the middle battlefield.

Guo Xin's face became solemn.

He had realized that he was being bitten bit by bit, and was constantly being divided and defeated. The opponent switched from passive defense to quietly seizing the initiative on the battlefield.

It's easy to attack and defend!
……

May twenty.

The sky was dim and bright, and when tens of thousands of the Central Army soldiers and horses of the Central Army Old Man appeared on the front line to the west of Yushan Plain, a total of 1 people from Bingzhou and Xiliang, with the brutal ferocity of the past, rushed towards the [-] people on the opposite side. Four soldiers and horses with thousands of different attributes.

One after another, the figures spread across the miles-long front line, crossing over the bodies of their comrades, and divided into several groups to fight in various places on the battlefield in the middle. Everywhere, there were surging crowds of people bumping into each other, fighting, and then bumping into each other, waving weapons, and collisions. The shields made a ping-ping-pong-pong sound in the light and dust.

Stretching from the sky, 1 black-armored infantry were divided into three groups. Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Dong Zhuo, and Gao Shun, they launched charges from three different directions, driving away the Shibuya Army, the Tiger Army, the Long Xiang Army, and the The defense line of the birth slave army.

The front line resisted several times and then collapsed. The soldiers behind had no cover from the infantry shields and were pushed away by the rushing rebels and defeated troops like an avalanche.

Zhou Bing sent out a supervising team to try to integrate the scattered soldiers and horses in the front. However, the Bingzhou Army, which was mixed with the broken troops, rushed directly to the central formation.

As a general, he was extremely brave and led hundreds of soldiers to meet him. Half a mile away, he met an enemy general and was knocked off his horse by a few swords from the enemy.

The soldiers wanted to come to rescue, but were then dispersed by the Bingzhou army, and ran around with the defeated soldiers.

Zhang Liao, who was fighting until he was rising, rushed directly towards the imperial army without saying a word. On the long journey of more than ten miles, Zhou Cang and Niu Gai, who were heading north, also received the news and drew an arc in the wilderness, carrying four people with them. The Qianbing Prefecture Army and the surrendered Shengnu people, together with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, fought towards the east.

At the same time, the wolf cavalry that had been wandering to the north of the battlefield finally cut off the contact with the scouts here. Lu Bu galloped across the wilderness with 6000 cavalry. Echoing him from a distance were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, walking along the battlefield. Marginally deter the Shibuya Army, which has only [-] troops left.

At this moment, the entire battlefield situation was completely reversed.

When the entire battlefield was tense and shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, another cavalry group cleared the scout's place along Lu Bu's route. After an afternoon and night, they bypassed Lujun Mountain and finally completed a major detour.

At this moment, they were on the eastern border of Yushan Plain, and were slowly moving towards the flanks and rear of the imperial army.

The sky rises above the clouds.

Li Jue raised his head and felt the warmth of the sun shining on his face. After a while, he would no longer be able to feel this warmth.He turned over and dismounted, and the soldiers led a horse over and put on the iron armor carried on it one by one for him and on the horse.

These are all left over from Wang Jinwu's previous batch of heavy horses. In addition to being gorgeous, the chest, shoulders, arms, crotch protectors, and legs are all made of iron sheets, while the abdomen is made of small iron sheets to facilitate movement. .

Li Jue's originally burly and mighty body suddenly became more iron-blooded and fierce. With a fierce look in his eyes, he mounted the light horse again. As for the armored war horse behind, he waited until he got there before riding again.

Then, he slowly moved forward with the Flying Bear Army, which was also wearing iron armor, and joked to a veteran who was out of place:
"General Zhao, I died early and I don't know what will happen next, but I am about to charge into the battle, so you old man should be careful!"

The gray-haired veteran rode silently on his white horse, his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.

But the spear hanging diagonally on the ground was shaking slightly, indicating that he was listening to everything around him.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Li Jue turned around boredly and walked through the undulating impact terrain and up a hill. In the distance, he could see tens of thousands of soldiers and horses scattered across the wilderness.

The 600 men dismounted silently, dragged their heavy armors, walked up to the armored horses with iron chains, and fastened one end of the iron chain to the iron ring with the opening facing downwards. There was a gap in this opening. When it was tight, the iron chain would pull On one side of the hoop.

Once the war horse on one side falls to the ground, the chain will slide to the gap below and break free, without affecting other heavy horses.

Soon, two heavy horses in a row appeared on the hill. Iron chains as thick as wrists were tightened between the war horses with a clatter.

Zhao Yun slowly opened his eyes, took a look at these heavy horses, then urged his horse to the front, looking at the stretching military formation.

There was a gentle voice saying: "Don't die first."

These words seemed to be addressed to Li Jue, but also seemed to be addressed to an enemy far away, which made Li Jue stunned for a moment.

　I finally suppressed this chapter, so I won’t post it in chapters.

　　Otherwise it’s easy to miss.
