Mi Wei was overjoyed when he saw this and was about to order the grain and grass to be burned. Countless soldiers rushed out of the carriage. There was only one layer of grain and grass for the horses on the carriage. The soldiers hid under the grain and grass. He was caught off guard and the horses were frightened. Although the cavalry fought hard to kill, they still couldn't.
It seems a little confusing.
The grain transport soldiers who had just fled in embarrassment also showed ferocious faces. They resolutely returned to the team and started to kill the enemy with their weapons. They did not look panicked just now. Looking at the situation, they were clearly the elite of the Jizhou army.
Mi Wei was shocked, knowing that he had fallen into the opponent's plan, and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!"
The soldiers who sprang out of the carriage were extremely elite, wearing strong armor and holding Huanshou swords. They fought with the cavalry without losing any of them, just like the previous battle between Gao Shun's infantry and the Jizhou army's cavalry. In a short time,
The cavalry can't do anything to these soldiers, they are not afraid of swords, guns, bows and arrows.
These soldiers did not attack the cavalry on the war horses, but kept slashing and killing the war horses. The horses were injured and ran around like crazy. The cavalry on the horses were constantly knocked off their horses, and then became the dead souls of the infantry.
After rushing out from the siege, only less than 100 of the 200 cavalry were left, suffering heavy losses. It can be said that the Xiliang cavalry suffered the most losses since the battle, and this was also in the case of a sneak attack.
Mi Wei's face was ashen. He had lost so many cavalry at once. Even with the influence of the Mi family in the Xiliang army, it would be difficult to change the fate of being punished. He was not afraid of punishment. What he feared most was Jia Rong's blame.
After following Jia Rong for many years, I actually made such a short-sighted mistake. I feel extremely ashamed when I think about it. The generals who followed Jia Rong at the beginning now have a place in the army, and he has the strong financial support of the Mi family and even served as Jia Rong.
Rong's personal guard commander, with such qualifications and family background, has never made any achievements. Even he secretly doubted whether he was not a talented commander.
Mi Wei quickly reported back the situation on the battlefield. The cavalry wandering on the battlefield were extra careful and would not take action without absolute certainty.
With this small victory, Yuan Shao was overjoyed and looked at Tian Feng no longer as displeased as before. Talented people will always come forward. Tian Feng has an upright character and has repeatedly offended Yuan Shao, which once made Yuan Shao feel a little dissatisfied with him.
He was resentful, but after this victory, Tian Feng's aggression also became an upright character in Yuan Shao's perception, not afraid of power, and he became a heroic figure for a while.
However, Tian Feng's plan also came from Xu You's plan during the Daijun period, so it is naturally not a clever one. Under Xu You's operation, the credit for this achievement seemed to be Xu You's, and that day
At the time of Daijun, the Jizhou army did save some defeats because of this strategy.
Not only Mi Wei, there were more than two thousand cavalry wandering on the battlefield. They were repeatedly frustrated by Tian Feng's various strategies. For more than ten days in a row, the number of cavalry lost reached 500.
Jia Rong was secretly frightened, and ordered the cavalry of all ministries to withdraw, and sent Yan Xing and Ma Teng to the battlefield. There have been no big battles recently. If they cannot win from small conflicts, where will the Xiliang army's face be? It was caught off guard before.
After going to Weilan, who had suffered a loss under such a scheme before, he made a calculation and let the generals in charge deal with it on the battlefield to test the generals' battlefield adaptability. If a general wants to truly grow up, he needs to go through the baptism of war and be alone.
Lead troops in battle.
Since Yan Xing joined the Xiliang Army, his military exploits have indeed been limited. After all, this man was a member of Han Sui's command, and his status in the army was not taken seriously. Jia Rong knew that this man was the leader of the army, and he was the leader of the army.
So I took it with me when I went on an expedition.
Ma Teng and Yan Xing each led five hundred cavalry to the battlefield to regain ground from the Jizhou army.
Yan Xing first observed the terrain of Jizhou's military grain road and the situation of Jizhou's military during the latest transportation of grain and grass. He clearly found that there were soldiers ambushing the carriages transporting grain and grass. If they rushed out rashly, it would definitely have a miraculous effect. Then the grain transport soldiers relied on
Chariots can inflict heavy damage to cavalry. This is also the most popular combat method used by the Jizhou Army for many days and has repeatedly won military exploits.
There were soldiers in the carriage. How to deal with it? Yan Xing thought hard. This battle was of great significance to him. After joining the Xiliang Army, he had always had a low reputation and was a general of the Xiliang Army.
He didn't interact much, and he had thought of various strategies before coming here, and the strategies Jia Rong gave were quite satisfactory.
If he can win a big victory this time, he will definitely become an upstart among the former generals.
Carriages, grain and grass, ambushes, heavy infantry, things that are crucial to the battlefield are constantly flashing through Yan Xing's mind.
Suddenly, he seemed to have caught something, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and then he shook his head slightly, denying the plan.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. This time, Jia Rong issued a fatal order. Each team carried 15 days of dry food. Once the food and grass were exhausted, they would immediately withdraw their troops.
Ma Teng tested the situation with fifty cavalry. As expected, as the intelligence said, there were hundreds of soldiers hidden in the food and grass. He hurriedly withdrew his troops and once again stayed in a wait-and-see state.
The speed of the cavalry is fast. Once they find that the situation is not right and withdraw their troops, these mud-legged people cannot catch up at all. They were able to win before, probably because the generals of the Xiliang Army were too contemptuous. Under the influence of victory, many generals
Losing his previous judgment and facing the enemy, he only wanted to lead the cavalry to fight for revenge. This kind of general is very irresponsible and does not take the lives of soldiers as one thing. In Jia Rong's perception, he is doomed.
You can't become a general.
As a general, you should cherish the life of every soldier, understand the strengths of each soldier, and be able to maximize their strengths during battle. Of course, this is the most ideal general.
The previous Mi Wei obviously failed to do this. He relied largely on the powerful lethality of the cavalry rather than his own ability to command troops.
In order to ensure the victory of the war, Ma Teng also brought his son Ma Chao over. As a fierce general on the battlefield, Ma Chao could greatly mobilize the vitality of the soldiers. The role of a brave general on the battlefield cannot be ignored.
Each transport team of the Jizhou Army was tightly defended, which gave Ma Teng a feeling that he had no idea what to say. Did Yuan Shao need so many people for each transport team, so could Ma Teng afford the consumption of soldiers along the way?
If he could wait, he had half a month, enough time to wait until Yuan Shaojun was negligent and then delivered the fatal blow.
On this battlefield, as long as Ma Teng does not take the initiative to attack, it will obviously be very difficult for the Jizhou Army to capture their traces. The Euphorbia warriors first mount the dead soldiers and then become more powerful. Without war horses, they are always on two legs. How can they pursue them?
Even if they rely on the speed of the cavalry, they can be exhausted even if they rely on the speed of the cavalry. Ma Teng is not worried about the Euphorbias and the First Dead Soldiers at all.
Yan Xing carefully looked at the transport team in front of him and ordered his cavalry to get ready.
When the grain transport team was closest to Yan Xing, Yan Xing gave an order and a hundred cavalry were dispatched, shouting and killing the grain transport soldiers.
From the faces of the grain transport soldiers, what they saw was panic. Of course, the cavalry was so powerful when they charged. No one was afraid. The generals of the grain transport soldiers hurriedly organized the soldiers. There were soldiers hidden in the grain trucks, and they also had trump cards.
How could the characters be frightened by the momentum of the Xiliang Army? Under the shouts of the generals, the soldiers gradually stabilized. They had repeatedly won great victories against the cavalry before, although this grain transport team did not win.
The precedent of the cavalry, following the above orders, can definitely achieve miraculous achievements.
The grain transport soldiers calmed down one after another and looked at the charging cavalry. The panic on their faces turned into determination. As soldiers, they all want to make achievements and walk to higher ground.
At the general's order, all the grain transport soldiers dispersed and fled in all directions. However, when they fled, they kept reviewing the scene behind them, waiting for the soldiers in the grain carts to rush out, and then return for reinforcements.
The inside should be combined with the outside, and the center will bloom.
Yan Xing sneered, and a hundred cavalrymen suddenly reined in their horses and quietly watched the grain carts not far away. The faces of the fleeing soldiers also contained a hint of sneer. With their looks, anyone could tell that they had something to do.
The problem is, when you run away, you run away, and you keep thinking about what you are doing. When running away, any deserter will still worry about what is behind him.
The cavalry stopped, and the general of the grain transport team felt caught off guard. Because the cavalry was still far away from gathering the grain carts, he did not dare to give orders without authorization. The other party must have known about this method of his own.
"Kill!" Yan Xing ordered.
A hundred cavalrymen did not rush towards the food and grass, but instead chased and killed the infantrymen who were fleeing in all directions. How could these infantrymen be the opponents of the cavalrymen? For a while, the sound of wailing could not be heard.
The general's face was pale. If this situation continues, the soldiers' pretended escape will become a real escape. How can the two-legged one outrun the four-legged one? He suffered a lot in the battle. Yan Xing's move
It also captured the weakness of the Jizhou Army.
In desperation, the general shouted loudly: "Everyone come to me!" At this time, the general was still near the grain cart, waiting for command.
With the grain and grass cart as the backing, it is equivalent to a defensive line. The cavalry will never dare to advance easily. The opponent's cavalry guessed the ambush in the grain and grass cart and will definitely not advance, thus saving the defeat just now.
potential.
Accompanied by the rumble of horse hooves, more than a hundred cavalrymen rushed out from the left. They also kept shouting, beating their horses and running towards the grain truck. They all held a jar in their hands, waiting not far from the grain truck.
At that moment, the general gave an order and all the jars were thrown towards the grain cart.
A rocket ignited the entire grain and grass team. Under the influence of kerosene, a raging flame quickly ignited. The five hundred cavalry, led by Yan Xing, stared at all sides of the grain and grass team, fearing that they would miss it.
