On the battlefield, the drums were beating loudly, the dust was flying, the flags of Tengjia Army and Han Army were constantly changing their positions, advancing or retreating, and the fierce fighting sounds of soldiers from both sides reached into the sky.
A total of more than 300,000 troops were entangled on this battlefield with a radius of 10 miles, fighting fiercely.
The armored heavy cavalry and the artillery battalion in the hands of Lei Gong were the two most powerful fists on the central battlefield. It would be difficult for any battalion of soldiers in Huangfu Song's hands to resist these two heavy fists for even a stick of incense. Huangfu Song was afraid of the iron armor.
The heavy cavalry and artillery battalions have powerful attack power, so they can only use Wugang vehicles and tanks to create obstacles to delay the attack of the Tengjia army.
But all he could do was delay. Although the Wugang chariots and chariots were strong, they were powerless in the face of artillery bombardment and would soon turn into a pile of sawdust. Although Huangfu Song had an army of 100,000 in his hands, they were defeated by Lei Gong.
The 70,000-strong army was defeated steadily, and four battalions of 20,000-strong troops were defeated by the Tengjia Army.
It can be said that what Huangfu Song can do now is to continuously put battalions of soldiers into the battlefield, continue to consume these soldiers, and buy time for his army!
On the left battlefield, although Huangfu Song sent Zhang He's 10,000 cavalry to support Yuan Shao, they had already lost the opportunity in the early stage. They suffered heavy casualties from the bow and arrow attacks of the Tengjia Army. Even with Zhang He's support, they could only barely maintain the battle line, and
There is always a danger of collapse!
The only good news for Huangfu Song is that Ju Yi on the right wing killed 3,000 cavalry of the Tengjia Army and severely damaged the left cavalry of the Tengjia Army. Now the two sides are in a confrontation. Sun Qing does not dare to charge into the formation again, but
Taking advantage of the mobility of the cavalry, they continued to use bows and arrows to kill Ju Yi's men, and Ju Yi also used a strong crossbow to fight back. Whether it was the power or the shooting of the strong crossbow, Ju Yi had the upper hand.
But this advantage could not change Huangfu Song's decline. The power of Lei Gong's artillery was too great. Huangfu Song could only watch his army in the middle gradually retreat. Too many soldiers in the army in the middle could not stand the bombardment of the artillery and collapsed. Huangfu Song
We can only arrange a supervising team in the rear to drive these collapsed soldiers onto the battlefield again!
Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Huangfu Song's face was solemn. The strength of the Tengjia Army had grown too fast. In the past, the Tengjia Army only had very sophisticated weapons and equipment, but in terms of combat effectiveness and combat experience, the Han soldiers had the upper hand.
But now they are no longer weak in terms of equipment, combat experience and combat effectiveness. Facing the attack of his 200,000-strong army, except for Ju Yi's left wing which has a slight upper hand, the rest of the hundreds of thousands of troops are passively being beaten. If
If he continues, his center and right flanks are in danger of being defeated by the Tengjia Army.
It stands to reason that Huangfu Song should have paid the gold and retreated his troops, leading the 200,000 troops to withdraw from Changping County, all the way back to Jizhou, and then find a way to deal with Lei Gong. But he couldn't do this. Yuyang's 60,000 troops had not yet
Retreat. If they thought of retreating, the Yuyang defenders would be completely surrounded by the Tengjia Army!
Huangfu Song looked at the decline of the battlefield, and his face became more serious. Lei Gong had too many methods, and various new tactics and weapons emerged in an endless stream. Moreover, the soldiers in Lei Gong's hands were not just a mob like the Yellow Turban Army, but were well-equipped and powerful.
A powerful elite, it would be very difficult for him to defend Yuyang's retreat!
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" The 300,000-strong army fought fiercely on the plains of Changping for a day. As the sun set in the west, even though Lei Gong thought that he could defeat the enemy in front of him with just one more fierce attack, the soldiers no longer had much energy and strength to fight.
, and Huangfu Song still had a reserve army in his hands, which was standing ready. Lei Gong knew that it would be difficult to defeat Huangfu Song today, so he ordered gold to withdraw his troops and prepare to fight again tomorrow!
Huangfu Song, Yuan Shao and Ju Yi also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the Tengjia Army shouting to withdraw their troops. They finally got through the day. Today was so long that they thought they couldn't make it through!
The battle was finally over. They also followed Ming Jin and withdrew their troops. The losses of the Han army were even greater. Several battalions of soldiers had collapsed. They could only rush to the battlefield under the pressure of the supervising team, and then quickly died at the hands of the Tengjia army.
Under the bow and arrow, the morale of other soldiers has been tense. They don't know when this string will collapse.
In this battle, the Han army lost more than 30,000 soldiers, of which Yuan Shao's left-wing army lost more than 15,000 soldiers, Huangfu Song's middle army also lost more than 12,000 soldiers, and only Ju Yi's right-wing army suffered slightly smaller losses.
A little, but it was more than 5,000 people. It can be said that this battle killed half of the soldiers of the Han army. A total of 20 captains and generals at the rank of captain were killed on the battlefield. Such a tragic battle made the entire Han army
The generals were still frightened. If their 200,000-strong army continued to fight, they would not even be able to withstand the 10-day attack by the Tengjia Army!
Huangfusong thought for a moment and asked, "What are the casualties of the Tengjia Army?"
Many generals looked at each other. They were beaten and retreated steadily, and they really didn't notice the casualties of the Tengjia Army.
But Ju Yi spoke first: "General, I probably killed and injured 4,000 Tengjia Army cavalry here!"
The other generals looked at Ju Yi strangely. If he didn't have the advantage, why were there more casualties than the Tengjia Army?
Then Ju Yi explained: "The last general's first attack on the camp caused huge casualties to the Tengjia Army during the close combat. However, in the subsequent battle, the generals of the Tengjia Army were unwilling to engage in close combat anymore, and instead used cavalry bows to shoot. Although
The last general also used bows and crossbows to fight back, but the defensive power of the ceramic armor of the Tengjia Army was too strong and could not cause many casualties to the Tengjia Army. Moreover, the soldiers of the Tengjia Army would retreat to the rear after being injured, and the real people on the battlefield died.
Not a lot!”
Huangfu Song said: "This is a rare victory for our army in Yuntian. I led an army of 100,000 people. Under the attack of Lei Gong, I lost my troops and generals, causing more than 10,000 casualties. But the casualties caused to Tengjia Army are only feared."
There are not even more than 2,000 people!”
Ju Yi wanted to comfort Huangfu Song and said: "The final general just caught the Tengjia Army by surprise, but Ming Gong had to face the elite troops of the Tengjia Army. The degree of difficulty is naturally very different, especially the gunpowder weapons of the Tengjia Army."
, if he appears on the battlefield, he will probably do even worse than Ming Gong!"
But Huangfu Song said: "If you lose, you will lose. I won't cover my ears and steal the bell!"
Then he saw Yuan Shao and said: "How many casualties did you cause to the Tengjia Army at Benchu?"
Yuan Shao said in shame: "There are probably a thousand people. The Tengjia Army's cavalry and archery were so powerful that our soldiers were beaten so hard that it was difficult to raise their heads, and the archers were not well trained. They quickly fell under the Tengjia Army's cavalry and archery attack."
It collapsed, so it didn’t cause too many casualties to the Tengjia Army!”
Huangfu Song said expressionlessly: "In other words, we fought fiercely with the Tengjia Army for a day, and the casualties we caused to them did not exceed 10,000!"
The other generals were ashamed when they heard this. There were less than 10,000 people here and there, only six or seven thousand at all. It can be said that the casualty ratio of both sides was five to one. It can be said that their battle was a disastrous defeat!
Ju Yi said: "Ming Gong, now all the dangerous passes in Youzhou have been captured by Lei Gong. Our army is no match for Lei Gong on the plain. Although the general does not want to admit it, it is difficult for us to prevent Lei Gong from occupying Youzhou. We even
It is difficult to stay in Changping for 5 days. Now we can only let Ziyu cut off his tail to survive. Otherwise, not only will it be difficult for his 60,000-strong army to withdraw from Youzhou, but even our 200,000-strong army may be defeated by Lei Gong.
, If our army is defeated, Jizhou may be captured by Lei Gong!"
Other generals also followed up and said: "Yes! Mr. Ming, the Tengjia Army is too strong. I have been fighting for half my life. I have never seen such a powerful rebel. Their equipment is even better than ours. We are really fighting now."
but!"
"Ming Gong, we should retreat to Jizhou now to preserve our strength!"
"Zhuo County is not bad! There are many rivers in Zhuo County. There are 5 rivers across the entire Zhuo County. The terrain of Zhuo County is not suitable for cavalry fighting. It is the best arrangement for us to establish a defense line in Zhuo County!"
The generals around Huangfu Song were all frightened by Thunder God. Now they heard that even Huangfu Song's confidant Ju Yi suggested retreat, so they all started to persuade Huangfu Song to retreat. They didn't want to fight the Tengjia Army anymore.
The equipment and strength of the rebels were better than those of their officers and soldiers, and there were all kinds of new equipment with amazing power emerging one after another. These generals felt that something was wrong there and did not want to fight against cheat players like Lei Gong!
Huangfu Song had no expression on his face and didn't speak for a long time. Soon the generals below stopped talking and looked at Huangfu Song with shame.
Huangfusong said in a deep voice: "Tell Ziyu our situation, and say that the best we can do is help him guard his retreat for three days, and let him find a way to retreat to Jixian within three days!"
The words are divided into two parts!
Different from the silent atmosphere in Huangfusong Camp, the Tengjia Army was very lively. In today's battle, they killed tens of thousands of Han troops, but their casualties did not exceed 6,000 soldiers. It can be said that they fought a battle.
Win every battle.
And most of these soldiers can be rescued. You must know that Xu Wei is the person who pays most attention to the treatment of wounded soldiers in the world. Huangfu Song may not even have 100 doctors. After simply bandaging the wounded soldiers, they let him
Wounded soldiers fend for themselves.
However, there are thousands of doctors and nurses in the Tengjia Army camp. Every injured soldier will receive proper care. At the very least, they will be disinfected and sterilized, using clean gauze, and suturing the wound with catgut. These technologies are ahead of the rest of the Han Dynasty.
For thousands of years, more than half of the wounded soldiers died in this era, but here in the Tengjia Army, not even half of the wounded soldiers died. It can be said that as long as the soldiers did not die on the spot, they could be saved.
As long as these soldiers recover from their injuries, they will become veterans with strong combat effectiveness. You must know that veterans who have experienced a life and death battle are stronger than five recruits who have not experienced the battlefield. There is no harsher environment in the world than the battlefield. On the battlefield,
The strong survive and the weak perish. The battlefield is an examination room that forces people to make progress. Every war they experience will make them stronger. Every veteran is a strong person. This is also the reason why the Tengjia Army becomes stronger as it fights. Because Tengjia
There are too many veterans in the army
Duan Peng said happily: "Commander Qu, with the cannons, Huangfu Song's 200,000-strong army cannot escape! We must continue to attack fiercely and strive to eliminate Huangfu Song within 3 days. In this way, Yuyang's 60,000-strong army will be surrounded by us. If these
We have wiped out the entire army. We have wiped out nearly 300,000 troops of the entire Han Dynasty in Youzhou! Does the Han Dynasty still have an army in the north? Not at all! We will be able to drink from the Yellow River in a month at most, and by then the whole of Hebei will be wiped out.
is ours!"
Xu Wei also laughed and said: "You are dreaming before you drink. Huangfu Song has 200,000 troops in his hands. There are tens of thousands of casualties today, but this is still an army of hundreds of thousands. Even if they are all pigs, it is impossible I’ll give you three days to catch him! Not to mention that Huangfu Song is still the number one general in the Han Dynasty, so he can be defeated so easily, so we will suffer a big loss today!”
Sun Qing came out and knelt in front of Xu Wei and said: "Shuai Qu, I have embarrassed you. I suffered a huge defeat and killed thousands of brothers!"
Xu Wei stood up and pulled him up and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. After all, there are only a few famous generals who are victorious in every battle. Just remember this lesson!"
Then he said to the generals: "Everyone must learn Sun Qing's lesson. Don't think that we are invincible just because we annexed the Huns, defeated the Xianbei, and defeated the Han army. We are winning, and the enemy is also there. Try to find our shortcomings and loopholes to defeat us! This time Sun Qing committed the taboo of defeating a arrogant soldier. He knew that the Han army's horse-rejection formation was not suitable for cavalry charges, but he still rushed in without thinking at all. I wonder if this is a trap by the enemy! This is not only a lesson for Sun Qing, but also a lesson for all of us!"
Duan Peng also sighed: "The Han army is an army established to target the heavy cavalry of our Tengjia Army! It's okay to use steel chariots as obstacles on the battlefield, but these iron axes, maces, and hammers, these All are designed for the iron armor of our Tengjia Army. Swords cannot break the iron armor, but axes, maces, and hammers cannot withstand such an attack even if we are equipped with iron armor. Moreover, Ju Yi's soldiers also wear heavy iron armor. , can be regarded as heavy infantry, ordinary weapons can't do anything to them, the battlefield environment at that time, even if Duan Yun's heavy cavalry enters, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything good!"
Sun Qing gritted his teeth and said, "If they hadn't also been wearing iron armor, the swords in our hands would have been difficult to break through the defense of Ju Yi's soldiers, and my men wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties!"
A few of the enemies faced by the Tengjia Army have leather armor, and most of them don't even have armor. They can only use their bodies to resist swords. The spears and swords of the Tengjia Army are enough to deal with such enemies, but now they can't Enemies wearing iron armor appeared. The 3-4 kilogram sword in the hands of the Tengjia Army could only be said to be sharp, but not enough to break armor. Even if the soldiers who came to the camp first had blunted their knives, they might not be able to kill one. The warrior who reaches the camp first!
Xu Wei also lamented: "Now the big men have more and more iron armor! We also have to find ways to get some heavy weapons!"
