Wen Chou looked at the blood all over the ground, still howling miserably, the wounded soldiers who were dying on the battlefield, and Jiang Qi's body that was carried close by the soldiers, and the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
There was no major conflict between Wen Chou and Jiang Qi. It was just that Jiang Qi favored people from Jizhou, while Wen Chou emphasized being loyal to Yuan Shao. Apart from this difference, there was no grudge between the two people.
Wen Chou ordered Jiang Qi to pursue the Western Conquest troops in order to hold them back. It would be best to confirm where the main force of the Western Conquests was, and then engage in a decisive battle. Of course, it would be best to lure the Western Conquest troops into a position where he and Jushu were deployed.
But now it seems that not only did this plan fail to be implemented, but Jiang Qi got himself involved.
Wen Chou thought that he would never encounter such a situation again after defeating Gongsun Zan, but he did not expect that such a scene would appear in front of him again today.
This was an experience that Wen Chou was ashamed of.
Unexpectedly, the cavalry in the expedition to the west seemed to be stronger than Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong!
Why is this happening?
Wen Chou vaguely had an answer in his mind, but he quickly rejected the answer. No, how could the cavalry in the expedition to the west be stronger than the white-horse Yi Cong who had been fighting for many years?
not to mention……
Since the death of Yi, his heavy shields, crossbows and large swords, this extremely weird type of arms has lost its inheritance. No one knows how to continue training, and they don’t know where the secret is.
The military unit that had made great achievements during the battle just disappeared.
never mind.
Wen Chou shook some distracting thoughts out of his mind, and then focused on the battlefield. After the Zhengxi cavalry killed Jiang Qi, they fled westward. If he did not pursue him, it would mean that Jiang Qi's death was worthless, which would have no impact on the morale of the soldiers.
It is also a serious damage; if you chase, you will inevitably be out of touch with the Jusu infantry who follow up, and you will not be able to cooperate in combat.
Catch up!
Wen Chou ordered the pursuit, but he didn't want to and was unwilling to wait any longer.
In the past few days, Jushou kept telling him to be cautious, careful, step-by-step, and steady...
Yes, Wen Chou is willing to listen to Jushou's suggestions, but there is a prerequisite: these suggestions must be effective!
However, Jiang Qi's body was lying there now. How could Wen Chou continue to follow Jushou's plan?
My current cavalry has a numerical advantage. If I can use the cavalry on hand to bite Zhengxi, then whether it is to achieve some partial victory or kill one or two Zhengxi generals, then Jiang Qi's death
It's worth it.
Staring at the Zhengxi battle flag that appeared in the distance, Wen Chou waved his sword and ordered: "Spread your wings! Speed up! Chase the enemy chief!"
"Ha! Kill, kill, kill!"
Wen Chou's cavalry responded with a bang, knelt down, kicked the horse's belly with their feet, and increased the speed of the horse again. Most of these cavalry were from Jizhou, and their riding skills were considered good, and they were fighting with Gongsun Zan.
In the confrontation, after many years of fighting, he can be said to be a veteran on the battlefield, so he quickly raised his war horse to the limit, biting Gan Feng's tail tightly and rushed over.
Gan Feng looked back, roared, and urged his men to speed up again and open up as much distance as possible, but because many horses, including the Wuhuan people, had been running for most of the day, and they had also gone through a fierce battle.
, so the physical strength is now very low. If Gan Feng and Nan Lou were not skilled in men and horses, they would lie down as low as possible to reduce wind resistance and reduce the power needed by the war horse to gallop. At this time, the speed of the war horse would have been even worse...
"Blow the trumpet!" Nanlou said to Ganfeng.
Gan Feng shook his head, "No! Wait a minute!"
"You madman!" Nanlou shouted, "Yuan Bing is about to catch up!"
"Hahaha!" Gan Feng laughed, "I'm a fucking lunatic! Do you know it now? If you have the fucking strength, you can't run more miles!"
Nanlou was furious and said "Hey", but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he lowered his head, raised his buttocks, and got as close to the horse's neck as possible, rising and falling with the horse's back.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Yuan Jun's cavalry couldn't help but start shooting at some of the Zhengxi cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry who were lagging behind. Although the arrows were shot against the wind, it was somewhat of a lottery, but if they touched too much, it would always be a good thing.
It is said that people with low luck did not get through the roll and were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
"General!" The guard beside Wen Chou reminded loudly, "Be careful of ambush!"
Wen Chou snorted and said: "There is nothing as far as the eye can see here. Apart from that forest, is there any ambush?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a horn sounding from the woods, and a black-like cavalry came from behind.
Jumped out of the woods!
"There really is an ambush!" Wen Chou was startled at first, but then he took a closer look, and then laughed, "This small number of men and horses, what kind of ambush can it be? Come here, give the order, the left wing comes forward! Defeat the enemy!"
Immediately, Wen Chou's cavalry troops separated from the left wing and headed towards the Huns cavalry that sprang out from the woods.
Tu Gilai stood upright on his horse, raised the battle ax in his hand, and roared loudly, boosting the morale of the Southern Huns. The Huns quickly changed their formation, and did not rush directly to Wen Chou's main formation, but towards Wen Chou's main formation.
The outside began to pull, and the left wing that had seduced Wen Chou gradually deviated from the original pursuit route.
If Tu Gui Lai is to risk his life to attack Wen Chou's troops, to be honest, Tu Gui Lai will definitely not do it. This has nothing to do with the alliance or not. It is not that Tu Gui Lai is disobeying orders. The main reason is that the Xiongnu and Yuan Jun cavalry are really
Unable to engage in direct confrontation...
Looking at the equipment and weapons on the body, the gap is indeed quite large.
Although the Huns have mixed up some equipment and weapons with General Fei Qian in the Western Conquests over the years, they are still much worse than Yuan Shao, who was born in Brother Hao. In addition, the Huns still go to war in the same old way.
There are all types of people in the family, some young and some old. Anyway, those who can mount a horse and shoot a bow can be regarded as soldiers to the Huns. Therefore, in terms of overall combat effectiveness, they are actually better than the orthodox Yuan army.
There is a certain gap between soldiers and soldiers.
However, the Huns wanted to involve and separate Yuan Jun's formation and lead Yuan Jun's left wing in circles. For the Huns, such a combat mission could be accepted easily and happily.
Tu Guilai let his men shoot while looking sideways at the edge of the battlefield. Unknowingly, Wen Chou's left wing was getting farther and farther away...
"The left wing has broken away, King Nanlou, you can blow the trumpet now!" Gan Feng shouted with a loud smile.
"Haha, blow the trumpet!" Nanlou immediately ordered.
The low horn sound echoed on the battlefield. Liu He, who was hiding behind the small slope, quickly ordered people to set up a large flag on the top of the slope to the right of Wen Chou, and had people beat the war drums to meet the sound of Nanlou's horn.
, reveal one's position.
The rumble of war drums resounded throughout the fields, covering up all sounds, and seemed to represent endless murderous intent.
Wen Chou suddenly frowned.
Here are the troops marching to the west again!
This is not a good thing!
When Wen Chou was young, he served as a thief-breaking cao because of his martial prowess, and was promoted to captain through meritorious deeds. Later, after Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, he relied on his good martial arts to fight on the battlefield and walked between life and death several times.
Only then did he reach his current position. Now he has become an important cavalry commander under Yuan Shao. He is in charge of almost more than half of Yuan Shao's cavalry troops. Even senior officials who are related to Yuan Shao and usually have a higher level of vision, see
When meeting, you should all address him as General Wen.
Today can be said to be Wen Chou's first battle with the troops marching to the west. In Wen Chou's mind, it may not be that he did not have a good fight and once again proved his own ideas.
But after the left wing was dragged away, something like this happened again on the right side. Wen Chou, who had been subconsciously preparing to dispatch the right wing, suddenly felt a jump in his heart and immediately became alert. After thinking for a long time, he finally raised his head high.
He raised his arms and raised his fist: "Stop the whole army!"
Wen Chou stared at Liu He's formation on the right wing, squinted his eyes and considered it for a long time. He felt that it was inappropriate to continue the pursuit regardless of the threat from the flank. It was not a good idea to divide the troops again, so he decided to stay and wait for a while.
Jushou will follow up later.
"Send the order! Let the left wing stop chasing and come back all!" Wen Chou ordered.
"Wei!" The messenger on one side immediately agreed, then rode his horse to look in the direction of the left wing.
Different from the strategic game system, when the distance between each other reaches a certain level, the order from the central main formation cannot be transmitted immediately.
When Wen Chou's messenger rushed to the left wing with all his strength, he saw a scene that shocked him inexplicably.
The Wen Chou left-wingers who were pulled far apart before are now in trouble at some point!
At this moment, Wen Chou's left wing troops had unknowingly ran far away from their main formation. Therefore, although the sound of fighting was deafening, Wen Chou thought that the left wing troops were fighting with the Huns.
, some of the sounds were natural, and I didn’t expect that Zhao Yun was not targeting Wen Chou himself, but the separated flank of Yuan Jun!
Zhao Yun's strategy from the beginning was not to eliminate or defeat Wen Chou in one fell swoop, but to weaken and reduce his troops as much as possible. Therefore, the strategy discussed with Liu He and others also adhered to this plan, first defeating Wen Chou's advance troops.
Jiang Qi, if Wen Chou chases after him, then just like now, pull out a part, and then encircle and eat him; if Wen Chou insists on chasing without dividing his troops, that's even better. The back stab has always been the one with the highest bonus...
Of course, if Wen Chou is very cautious and doesn't reveal any flaws, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he has achieved certain results by killing part of Yuan Jun's vanguard. What's more, General Fei Qian's intention is to hold him back, so
No matter how hard it is calculated, Zhao Yun's side will not suffer a loss.
Although Wen Chou did not recklessly step into the traps in front of Liu He after seeing Liu He and the Wuhuan troops, the left wing that had been separated before was surrounded by Zhao Yun and Tu Gilai.
lost heavily.
"This..." Wen Chou's messenger reined in his horse and was a little confused. The people and horses in front of him were in chaos. On such a chaotic battlefield, with flags intertwined, the messenger couldn't find the command system of the left wing for a while, let alone talk about it.
The admiral's order was not passed on...
"Whizzing!"
Several Zhengxi scouts wandering around the periphery discovered these three lonely Yuan Army messengers, and immediately rushed over to kill them while bending their bows and shooting arrows without saying a word.
The horse of one of the messengers was shot, and he screamed in pain, looked sideways and ran out. The other two messengers saw that something was wrong and did not care to continue to send orders. They quickly turned around and hit their horses.
run.
"kill"
The two armies fought each other, and countless soldiers were injured and fell off their horses at every moment. The huge bodies of the war horses collided with each other, making a deafening muffled sound. The cavalry on the horses flew up due to inertia, and moved forward with claws and teeth.
Pounced, even in mid-air, they still widened their eyes, trying hard to find an opponent they could kill.
"kill!"
Zhao Yun's spear flashed, shook off a spear, and cut open the neck of the Yuan Jun cavalry. The Yuan Jun cavalry groaned and fell off the horse, and immediately tripped another Yuan Jun cavalry behind him, and the war horse fell out with a neighing sound.
The Yuan Jun cavalry on horseback screamed strangely and rushed towards Zhao Yun!
Zhao Yun didn't even bother to take a second look. He retracted and drew his spear, hitting Yuan Jun's chest and abdomen. Yuan Jun's strange screams suddenly stopped, and he fell to the ground obliquely, disappearing in the air.
Under the horseshoes.
The spear flashed again, swinging away the knives and spears that were stabbed and slashed, and then the red tassel bloomed, hitting a Yuan Jun in the chest. When he returned, the sharp tail of the spear just passed through the neck of a Yuan Jun war horse.
The irregular spear tail opened a huge blood groove on the war horse's neck, and blood spurted out like a fountain. The war horse hissed, turned sideways, and fell to the ground.
The Yuan Jun cavalrymen on horseback were also very skilled. They jumped up in time, and when they were in the air, they roared and chopped off the head of a Zhengxi cavalryman with a knife. However, before he could celebrate his victory, a spear struck out.
It flew over, pierced his abdomen, and knocked him out of the air.
The war horses galloped like the wind, the swords were swung like lightning, blood spattered, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams were mixed with the roar of the horses' hooves, and could not be heard without interruption.
The captain who commanded the left wing of the Yuan army roared angrily, slashed and stabbed with the sword in his hand, and killed three Zhengxi soldiers in a row. His bravery immediately attracted the attention of the Zhengxi cavalry, and they all adjusted their horses in unison and headed directly towards him.
He bumped into him, raised his sword and gun at the same time, and slashed and stabbed him!
The captain of the Yuan army tried his best to block the attack and was in a state of embarrassment.
At the moment when the two sides met, a Zhengxi cavalryman suddenly jumped up from his horse and rushed towards the captain of Yuan Jun. The captain of Yuanjun turned pale with fright, quickly stopped his hand and slashed at the Zhengxi cavalryman with his sword.
"puff!"
Although Captain Yuan Jun slashed the shoulder of the Zhengxi Cavalry and the sword was deeply embedded in its torso, the Zhengxi Cavalry still relied on inertia and bumped into Captain Yuan Jun, and the two fell off the horse together.
go!
Lieutenant Yuan Jun fell off his horse, and his thighs were bleeding. He was inexplicably horrified. All he could see were the legs of the galloping horses. His head was constantly being struck by swords and spears, even though he was slashing with the sword crazily.
Blocked, but in a moment, he had several wounds on his body. If he hadn't been a captain and the armor on his body was relatively solid, he might have been dead by now and fell into a pool of blood.
"Captain! Mount your horse!" A Yuan Jun cavalryman jumped down and gave up his horse.
Lieutenant Yuan Jun gritted his teeth and grabbed the reins of the horse, struggling to get on the horse. But before he could take a breath, he looked up and saw an extremely bright blood-red flower blooming in front of him!
The subtle changes in the battlefield here attracted Zhao Yun's attention. After picking and killing more than ten Yuan Jun cavalry, Zhao Yun rushed to the scene. Unfortunately, before the captain of Yuan Jun could sit firmly, Zhao Yun shot him in the chest, and then he shot towards the chest.
After flying for a while, it hit the ground with a thud!
Although the equipment of Yuan Jun's cavalry is not much different from that of the Zhengxi cavalry, the Zhengxi cavalry is better because of its more exquisite riding skills and more tacit cooperation. Therefore, in chaotic battles and small teams fighting independently, it is better for Yuan Jun's cavalry.
It caused great harm.
Especially after losing the leadership and control, many Yuan's cavalry could only fight alone based on personal experience. Gradually, under the cooperation of the Zhengxi cavalry, they were killed and consumed bit by bit.
Although Zhao Yun was charging ahead, he was protected by a large number of personal guards. In addition, Zhao Yun himself was highly skilled in martial arts. Therefore, although he went in and out of enemy lines, he encountered almost no real danger, and he also had enough time to adjust.
Formation, directing his men and horses to fight in the most advantageous way.
Under Zhao Yun's command, the Zhengxi cavalry switched smoothly, like a rake, and like a sharp long knife, dividing Yuan Jun's cavalry, then breaking and eating them bit by bit, at the same time
It also reduces its own casualties.
Yuan Jun's cavalry began to collapse. At this moment, the Huns who came from Bald Mountains exerted 200% of their courage and strength, biting Yuan Jun's cavalry like wolves. Because of the heavy load of the Huns' cavalry,
They were smaller than Yuan Jun's cavalry, so many Yuan Jun's cavalry could not escape. They were overtaken by these Xiongnu cavalry one by one, and then they were killed and fell off their horses.
On the battlefield, at this moment, the balance of victory and defeat, after Yuan Shao's left wing completely collapsed, began to gradually tilt towards Zhao Yun's side...
