Gao Gan fiercely waved his right hand. Behind the front rows of swordsmen and shieldmen were several rows of archers. Following Gaogan's order, the front rows of swordsmen and shieldmen half-crouched down. The rear archers opened their strong bows and fired.
The sky is full of feather arrows!
The arrows roared in the air, carrying the fierce wind, and rushed straight towards Zhang Xiu and others!
Although Zhang Xiu and others were equipped with armor, they were still light cavalry after all. The war horses were not equipped with vests. They had speed but insufficient protection. Under the shooting of Gao Gan, although most of the arrows missed,
But once it is shot, it will cause quite serious consequences.
The target with the most concentrated arrows was Zhang Xiu, who was rushing at the front!
Zhang Xiu, who was caught in the fire, seemed to have his seventh sense exploding at this moment. He suddenly pinched the horse's belly, and the strong horse under his crotch made a long neigh. He pushed his hind hooves hard, opened the horse's body, and leaped high!
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Every soldier in the military formation, including senior officials, could not help but raise their heads at this moment, looking at the war horses flying in the air and the young general Zhengxi on the horse.
The big gun he unfolded was as red as blood, leaping in the air, and just got rid of the arrows that were deliberately aimed at him!
Even Gao Gan's hand couldn't help but freeze in mid-air...
You can't even shoot him to death?!
Where did General Zhengxi's men find these people?!
In order to enhance the lethality of the bow and arrow, and to have a surprise attack effect, Gao Gan's attack position was set up behind a forest on the side of the camp, waiting for Yuan Yu to lead Zhang Xiu into the ambush circle, which also shortened the attack distance.
It was the shortest one, but unexpectedly, the most important first blow missed!
Strictly speaking, it was not a failure. There were still several Zhengxi cavalrymen who were affected by the rain of arrows and were knocked off their horses with screams. However, the result was much worse than what Gao Gan originally expected.
Gao Gan originally thought that with such a blow, he could at least catch this group of Zhengxi cavalry who were chasing them by surprise, kill the leading general, and then launch a counterattack with all the troops...
"Rush over! Speed up!"
Zhang Xiu sensed something was wrong at the first moment and shouted loudly. Without even a moment's hesitation, he led the cavalry behind him and crashed into Yuan's army! Those fallen soldiers who were able to get up also tried their best to get up.
Struggling to stand up, regardless of whether he had a weapon or not, he still limped to keep up!
Seeing such a situation, the senior officer's eyes almost popped out. This damn guy is not just an elite, he is simply a top-notch soldier!
A man is willing to die thousands of times on the battlefield, and the blood will not stop until it is exhausted!
This is what you have in front of you!
After seeing Yuan Jun's ambush appearing on the flank, Zhang Xiu knew that he had fallen into a trap, but it was impossible to turn around immediately or turn around and escape. The half-ton body of the war horse had great inertia, and it was impossible to just stop.
Stop, turn when you say turn, the only way out now is to veer slightly, change from straight in to diagonal out, cut diagonally through Yuan Jun's formation and kill a bloody path out!
Every Bingzhou cavalryman realized the seriousness of the problem and waved their weapons desperately, slashing the Yuan army in front. Zhang Xiu rushed at the front, his big gun moving, and blood splattered! Even though Gao Gan led the ambush troops from one side
Outflanked, Zhang Xiu can't control it anymore, and he can't take care of it!
At this moment, the only thing to do is move forward! Move forward! Kill your way out!
Only by following the direction where Yuan Jun's crowd is surging and fighting out will there be no traps or stumbling ropes. Although there are not many Yuan Jun soldiers in the gap next to them, there must be other arrangements!
The senior cadre couldn't help but feel a little dazed...
If you still rush forward, then won't the methods you originally arranged become useless?
Damn it, even if you use people to pile them up, they will be piled up to death!
Obviously, they did not expect Zhang Xiu to be so decisive. Under the fierce impact, the interception formation arranged by the senior officials was somewhat loose. Those who faced Zhang Xiu's attack were frightened by the Zhengxi cavalry and retreated. The front and rear were mixed and chaotic.
At this moment, Gao Gan shouted wildly, and soon the guards around Gao Gan also shouted together. The shouts were loud even among the rebels: "Are all the men in Jizhou eggless? Three thousand white horses are willing to follow.
We have also wiped them out! These few men and horses are nothing! Kill this guy! Reward you with a thousand gold coins! Upgrade to the third level!"
Yuan Yu also turned around and walked back with the supervising team. When he encountered those who were running away and kept giving orders, he cut them off with a single blow! Seeing the blood, Yuan Jun finally stabilized his position. Zhang Xiu and others faced
The resistance is getting bigger and bigger!
In most cases, as long as the leader is not afraid of death and grits his teeth and rushes forward, most of the ordinary soldiers who follow will not shrink back or be timid. Seeing Yuan Yu, a high-ranking official, rush forward in person. Most of Yuan's troops are from Jizhou.
With a roar, the blood energy in the bones and blood was also stimulated!
Zhang Xiu's gun flashed past, and the head of the gun went into the throat of a Yuan Army soldier. Blood sprayed in his trachea. The Yuan Army soldier could only scream for a while and lost his weapon, but he did not fall down. Instead, he held Zhang tightly.
Embroidered gun bars! The barbs on Zhang Xiu's big gun pierced directly through the palm of this Yuan Jun soldier, and blood came out!
Even so, the Yuan Jun soldier still didn't let go, and with Zhang Xiu's strength, he couldn't even pull it out when he was about to explode!
In this short moment, beside this Yuan Jun soldier, three or four Yuan Jun soldiers rushed towards Zhang Xiu, passing them with long swords and spears!
Zhang Xiu's sword in his left hand flashed with cold light, and two human heads flew high along with the spear heads. However, the swords of the other two soldiers slashed Zhang Xiu's waist one after another. The fire splashed around, and several pieces
The silk ribbons of the iron armor were cut off, and they were raised high, as if they were about to take off their armor and fly out!
If it weren't for the good defense of the sleeve armor equipped by Zhengxi, Zhang Xiu would have been seriously injured even if he survived. However, even so, the powerful impact made Zhang Xiu sway on the horse and almost fell off the horse. He shouted
With a sound, he finally pulled out his big gun and swept it in a circle. Whether it was the tip or the barrel of the gun, Yuan Jun's soldiers fell down one after another, and finally a small gap was cleared!
With a little free time, Zhang Xiu glanced at the battlefield and found that the cavalry he led was gradually being blocked and overwhelmed by more and more Yuan troops. There were several Bingzhou cavalry behind Zhang Xiu, although they killed several
His name was Yuan Jun, but beside the fallen body of Yuan Jun, there were more soldiers of Yuan Jun who pounced on him without hesitation. The one with the sword had already lost his weapon, and pounced on him. He didn't care and pounced on Bingzhou.
The cavalryman stretched out his hand, grabbed it, and pulled it down!
The senior officials in Yuan Jun's military formation also looked solemn.
The sight of Zhang Xiu leading these cavalrymen roaring towards his formation was something he would never forget for the rest of his life. Are the people of Bingzhou naturally so brave, or are all Zhengxi's men such warriors? What if Zhengxi
The soldiers are as brave as the cavalry in front of them, so the next battle will definitely be more difficult and dangerous than now!
These people must be killed, their confidence must be destroyed, their morale must be dampened, and they will be like Gongsun Zan, who is frightened when they hear the reputation of Jizhou soldiers and Yuan Jiajun. Otherwise, even if the Taihang Mountains are in the way, Jizhou will not be able to rest in peace.
At this moment, Gao Gan shouted again, almost hoarse: "Kill them all! I will take off their heads and build a Jingguan! Let the people of Bingzhou know that no one can resist us!"
The shouts of the high-ranking cadres also reached Zhang Xiu's ears clearly. Rush out! He can't stay here. He is still full of ambitions and has bigger and stronger enemies waiting for him. How can he be defeated so easily?
Here! I have to wait for the arrival of General Fei Qian of Zhengxi to kill them back to the other side of Taihang Mountain!
Can't stop, can't die!
Zhang Xiu roared fiercely, the sound was so loud that it overshadowed the shouts of senior officials, overwhelmed all the sounds on the battlefield, and shook the mountains and valleys!
Taking advantage of the short moment when Yuan Jun on the opposite side was dazed, Zhang Xiu's spears flew and swords swept across. Every stab and every slash was accompanied by a splash of blood. These two weapons turned out to be like living creatures.
As soon as he left, he was danced by Zhang Xiu as if he had a soul. Every time he flickered, he harvested the lives of Yuan Jun who dared to get close to him!
I saw Zhang Xiu's figure shuttling in the Yuan army's formation, slashing with spears and bayonets, almost no one could stop him. The few remaining Bingzhou cavalry also followed Zhang Xiu to fight the first bloody path, and rushed outward with all their strength! Maybe it was too late!
After a long time, maybe just for a short moment, Yuan Jun, who was originally as dense as a human wall in front of Zhang Xiu, suddenly disappeared and finally came out!
At this moment, Zhang Xiu and his horses had turned bright red. It was hard to tell whether it was his blood or Yuan Jun's. Only half of the long sword in his left hand was left, and he didn't know when it was cut off.
.
Zhang Xiu turned around and stared at the senior officer, then turned around and took one last look at the men who were drowned in Yuan's army before they had time to fight out. He gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head, and fled...
…………………………
Starting from Pingyang, we finally arrived at Huguan. Among the Feiqian queue, in addition to the original Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, there were also a large number of military personnel. Most of these military personnel were Taiyuan's powerful private soldiers, 500 of them.
To put it all together, most of them were skilled in riding, brought their own dry food, and followed Fei Qian all the way.
Although these private soldiers are a little loose now, fortunately, Fei Qian will not ask these soldiers to go directly into battle for a while. Moreover, these soldiers are not bad in riding skills and only need to train for about three months to half a year.
You can become a more qualified cavalryman.
The troops who responded and the baggage convoy snaking from the rear are the right-wing attitude of the Taiyuan gentry. They used this to show their loyalty to Fei Qian. Of course, another subtext is that Fei Qian can provoke this and Yuan
Liang came to fight.
It is best for the Kansai people to handle the territory of the Kansai nobles themselves. Although Fei Qian is not a perfect Kansai guy, after all, Fei Qian made his fortune in Bingbei, and now that he has taken over Guanzhong and Hanzhong, it can be said that he is already a
It is inseparable from Kansai.
The news of Yuan Jun's advance on Shangdang also spread to Taiyuan. Although Yuan Shao did not directly lead the troops, it can be regarded as a test by Yuan, just like a test of Go. How to deal with it depends on Fei Qian
The ability.
A few years ago, these gentry heroes in Taiyuan would definitely not have done such a "treasonous and unethical" act, but now that Yuan Wei died, the ambitions of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were basically visible to anyone who was interested, so for the two
The older generation of gentry disciples were still very dissatisfied with Yuan's behavior of holding a Han official position on the surface, but actually doing things to corrupt the government, and Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, did also show his dissatisfaction.
There is a strong momentum, so although the support for General Fei Qian in the expedition to the west cannot be said to be completely unreserved, it can be regarded as quite adequate.
Of course, no matter what time or dynasty, creatures like local snakes are always indispensable. Even in later generations, there is no guarantee that they will be reduced much.
Fei Qian himself also knows very well that the current situation is nothing more than cooperation, and both parties will benefit, and division will lead to both losses. When you can use it, you will naturally use it. If there is no benefit, it will immediately fall apart. The family is the first, regardless of the current performance.
You have to be respectful. If there are signs of defeat, these private soldiers of the family who were following behind and have not yet fully returned may rebel immediately and take their own heads to the Yuan family to seek peace and claim credit.
Since we are in this era, we must do the things of this era...
When Fei Qian arrived at Huguan, he was sitting in the lobby of the government office. Jia Qu was sitting below him. Naturally, everyone else was standing on both sides. In the hall, including Jia Qu, there were two rows of military officers and civilians.
The officials were all quiet, motionless and silent. The reason was simple. Fei Qian had a sullen face, so how could other people dare to talk and laugh openly?
In the past, Fei Qian always gave his subordinates a relatively peaceful and calm feeling, but it is rare to see him being as serious as he is today. In fact, Fei Qian has been in a high position for a long time, and has held the power of life and death in his hands for a long time, so he has cultivated some
The commander-in-chief showed his majesty, but he himself could not quite feel the subtle changes.
If Fei Qian was in a high mood, it wouldn't be a problem for everyone to join in the fun, laugh and curse, but now there is no trace of joy on Fei Qian's face. With the commander like this, the generals and civil servants standing on both sides naturally have a straight face.
He had nothing to say about his face. He looked at his nose and mouth, and occasionally glanced at Zhang Xiu, who was prostrating himself on the ground in the hall.
Zhang Xiu looked very embarrassed now, his armor was damaged, his helmet was missing, his hair was disheveled, and the blood on his body had long since dried up, and was mixed with mud to appear dark brown, with patches on the left and right everywhere.
Only about 50 of the vanguard originally led by Zhang Xiu escaped, and the remaining 300 or so cavalry finally stayed in front of Gao Gan's camp forever.
If we talk about losses, they are actually not very big. There are more than 300 cavalrymen. For Fei Qian, who is now wealthy, it is a bit distressing, but it is not unacceptable. The problem is that Zhang Xiu was defeated. From a small perspective, it was a bruise.
Morale, to a large extent, will affect the entire battle situation. It is difficult to build something, but it is easy to destroy it. Fei Qian's current prestige in the Bingbei area is accumulated through repeated battle victories.
?
Although the current battle situation has not yet reached the final moment, the failure caused by Zhang Xiu's greed for power and rashness may make Yuan Jun feel that Fei Qian is just like this, and he has to pick the weak ones. This is a truth that everyone understands.
If Zhang Xiu wins, Gao Gan, who was stabbed with blood, will naturally hesitate, which will also help Fei Qian start subsequent negotiations. But now that Gao Gan has won the game, how can he give up the immediate hope so easily?
"Captain Zhang," Fei Qian broke the silence after a long time and said, "Do you know your crime?"
Zhang Xiu kowtowed, his voice hoarse, and did not defend himself: "I know my crime because of my humble position."
"The one who can make a profit in a hundred miles will defeat the general, and the one who can make a profit in fifty miles will be halfway there..." Fei Qian said slowly, "You are greedy for merit in the front, and you don't listen to Liang Dao's dissuasion. You lose troops and destroy the general behind. You are so brave.
, you actually think that military law has nothing to do with it? Come here, take it down..."
At this time, although Fei Qian knew that Zhang Liao had entered the mountain with his troops, the mountain road was rugged and there was no mobile phone or GPS to locate it like in later generations. Whether Zhang Liao could find Yuan Jun was still in doubt.
"Wait a minute." Jia Qu took a step forward, cupped his hands towards Fei Qian and said, "The war is about to begin. It would be unlucky to kill the general first. You can allow Colonel Zhang to perform meritorious service for his crime. If there are any mistakes again, he will be punished as well."
Jia Qu had been thinking about it, and finally stood up and said a good word to Zhang Xiu. After all, if Fei Qian really wanted to punish Zhang Xiu, even if he said all his good words, it might not have any effect, but if Fei Qian
He didn't really want to kill Zhang Xiu, so he could give Fei Qian a step forward and sell Zhang Xiu a huge favor.
Jia Qu expressed his position, and Linghu Cong also understood it. He took a step forward from the queue of civil servants, bowed his hands and said: "I second the proposal due to my humble position, and beheading the general before the battle is a sign of great disaster. I hope my lord will think twice..."
You are the shield of great evil, and your whole family is the shield of great evil!
Fei Qian muttered a few words in his heart, but he also knew that the word "big evil" did not have so many derivative meanings at the moment. Although according to military law, "losing many soldiers" is a major crime, just like Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, etc.
No one can escape this kind of guilt, but victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. If the general is really killed because of this matter, who else will be willing to take such a risk in the future?
Punishment must be provided, but killing everyone who makes a mistake is not a safe policy.
Fei Qian looked at Jia Qu, nodded, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "Since Liang Dao begged for mercy, I will leave the crime for now! If there is any more fault, I will definitely kill him!" It would be a good idea to give Jia Qu some face.
Well, after all, Jia Qu was young and needed to establish prestige among these officials.
Zhang Xiu kowtowed quickly, first thanked Fei Qian, then thanked Jia Qu, and then withdrew without mentioning anything.
"Although we have lost our vanguard, our army has not been damaged. If Yuan's army does not fall, it will be fine. If he dares to come, he will definitely be defeated!" Fei Qian said, "Give me the order to reorganize the army for a day, and start the army tomorrow.
