48. The feeling of going up and down – this really isn’t an elevator
"Don't get too entangled with the enemy. Gradually move to the left to clear a way for the cavalry brothers behind."
While Yan Gang was speaking, he swept aside the body of a Yuan Shaojun soldier hanging on the spear in his hand, and then immediately used the spear to stab the soldier behind him who was planning a sneak attack to the core.
It has to be said that it is not easy for a general holding a tiger talisman to kill an ordinary soldier. At the same time, it is also very difficult for them to be killed by ordinary soldiers. Even the Azure Dragon God is like a punishment from heaven.
Lei Ye still couldn't do anything about Dong Zhuo, who was believed in and protected by a group of soldiers. It can really be said that man can conquer nature.
However, such a result could not scare away those soldiers. Whether it was Yuan Shaojun or Gongsun Jun, their soldiers were still fighting desperately. It was precisely because of these people's fighting that from time to time they would be careless and rush too fast, resulting in the death of the enemy.
The soldiers under his command are too far apart for the Tiger Talisman to be effective, or the hundred-man general and the commander of the village are decapitated by ordinary soldiers when all his subordinates are killed.
As the war progressed here, it became increasingly fierce.
Similar to Yan Gang, who was almost on the front line, Shang Yu also came to the forefront of the defense line with his own soldiers. However, under his heroic fighting and command, Yan Gang's front army was never able to achieve too many results.
, the two sides fought repeatedly within a hundred meters for more than two quarters of an hour, but the situation remained tense.
It can be said that because Shang Yu showed weakness to the enemy before, the soldiers under Yan Gang's command did more or less feel a little contempt for Yuan Shao's former army opposite them. Therefore, when they encountered a strong counterattack by the enemy, they naturally
There was a little confusion.
However, Yan Gang had expected this situation to occur. After all, his understanding of Yuan Shao, or to be more precise, his understanding of the image formed by the legends about Yuan Shao circulating in the world and in the world, Yuan Shao obviously did not
Maybe it's really possible to send a pustule to take the lead in such a crucial battle.
Feng Guan. Not to mention that according to the judgment received from Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao planned to use the Chinese army as bait to implement right hook tactics against Gongsun's army and launch a surprise attack from the side and rear of Gongsun's army. The main force of Yuan Shao's army as a containment force was not to mention
Possibly having his own Chinese army collapse would turn the whole plan into a huge joke.
Therefore, if Yuan Shaojun's former troops were really on the verge of collapse, Yan Gang might still be hesitant and worried, thinking that there might be a bigger trap waiting for him. But when the enemy on the opposite side launched such a determined counterattack,
On the contrary, Yan Gang breathed a sigh of relief, because this obviously meant that Gongsun Zan's judgment behind him was correct.
Then let Yuan Shao, who dared to continue dividing his troops after dividing his troops, have a taste of the power of his own Youzhou cavalry.
"Oh? Shu Ji gave me the white horse Yi Cong in his hand? This guy... told him that my Gongsun Wu Zhong accepted his love."
Having crossed the deepest part of the river, which was only waist deep, Gongsun Fan was ready to attack at any time, and Gongsun Ke, who was not far away from his troops, had also restrained his troops and was ready to attack.
.
Gongsun Fan did not believe that the troops from the Jizhou plains were capable of stopping his Youzhou cavalry. Even Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, Qiu Liju, Wu Yan, Su Puyan and others who once dominated Youzhou did not think so.
Possibly, Qiu Liju once defeated Gongsun's army in Guanzicheng, but that was just because he fell into his trap of luring the enemy in. Even if he fell into the trap, what happened back then?
Baima Yicong's several breakthroughs still caused heavy losses to Qiu Liju. As soon as Liu Yu issued an intention to recruit troops after coming to power, Qiu Liju was the first to respond. Otherwise, he would have resisted with the little wealth he had left at the time.
The only result was death, and the difference was just that he died at the hands of the Han army or under the butcher's knife of other Hu tribes who coveted his tribe and pasture.
Therefore, when Gongsun Fan heard that Yan Gang had given up the command of the thousand white horses assigned to him by Gongsun Zan and returned it to him, he was so excited, because it meant that he could
Earn more meritorious deeds in a battle.
At the same time, in his opinion, this kind of behavior is not only Yan Gang's trust in his commanding ability, but also Yan Gang's show of goodwill towards him. Obviously, the other party believes that with the merits gained in this battle, Gongsun Fan will be in Gongsun's army in the future.
Your status will be further consolidated and promoted. At this time, using this method to make friends is not only a hidden method, but also the flavor of secret support contained in it is even more comfortable.
No, Gongsun Fan understood this immediately and at the same time, he greatly accepted his Yan Gang's affection.
However, compared to Yan Gang, who is from Jizhou and is good at being a good person, some people seem dull and slow.
"General... there is something I don't know whether to say or not... it may be a bit presumptuous... but..."
"Let's talk, it happens that the former army is still entangled with Yuan Jun. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Your general, I am in a good mood today. I just want to give some advice to a stupid boy like you. I would be embarrassed to say anything to you if you are so stupid.
They are the soldiers I led."
"Yes, I thank the general for your cultivation. However, I have something unclear, and I would like to ask the general for advice. I have observed that although the troops on the opposite side have been entangled with our front army for a long time, they are still advancing and retreating well, and it seems that they are not trying their best.
I thought that with the strength of General Yan’s subordinates, I could still contend with him so far.
Among Yuan's troops, I'm afraid the Jizhou Army is the only one. In particular, the two troops in the Jizhou Army are the most difficult to deal with - the 'Euphorbian Soldiers' are good at attacking and defending, and the 'Xiandenshishi' are good at attacking with force, but regardless of
Which army is it? It seems that they are all equally good at one kind of weapon, that is - crossbow!"
"Oh? You mean that if the opponent is good at crossbows, he can defeat me, Baima Yicong? I'm not an idiot like Gongsun Yue! And it's not like I haven't seen troops who are good at crossbows. The same goes for those troops from Mount Tai.
It's called the 'Taishan Powerful Crossbow', but do you know the result? It can't withstand a charge from our Youzhou cavalry. Humph! It's just a bluff."
Hearing that his subordinates seemed to have the intention of "raising the enemy's ambition and destroying his own prestige", Gongsun Fan's face suddenly became ugly.
It's just that his subordinate was obviously not as good at dancing as Yan Gang, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced and argued:
"I just want to remind the general. Those Jizhou soldiers are veterans who have returned from the northwest battlefield. What they lack most is the experience of fighting Qiang cavalry. Especially in defending against cavalry attacks, they can be called experts.
Not for..."
"That's enough! I'm not a three-year-old child, and I don't need your guidance! If you continue to say these things, don't blame me for punishing you for the crime of 'confused by evil words'! Get out of my way now, I'll charge later."
When you take a group of people as a vanguard, be sure not to die~"
After that, he ignored the crying subordinate and turned his attention back to the battlefield where fierce fighting was still taking place.
Yan Gang is indeed a vanguard general who can be relied upon by Gongsun Zan. Although he faced a strong blockade that may be from Jizhou soldiers, he still used his strength to fight for a long time with troops that were not considered to be the strongest soldiers in Gongsun Zan's army, but he still did not lose.
.And when the attack direction gradually shifted towards Yuan Shaojun's left wing, there was no trace of panic, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
As time went by, not only did the channel in front of Yuan Shaojun's army get out of the way, but Yan Gang's main attack direction appeared at the weak point between Yuan Shaojun's front army and the left wing. Once again, Yuan Shaojun's army suffered a small attack.
The turmoil and chaos forced Yuan Shao, who had been firmly under the command of the rear commander, to send his subordinate Zhang Kai with 2,000 soldiers to stabilize the situation.
Of course, the above is the changes in the battlefield situation from Gongsun Fan's perspective. Naturally, he cannot know that until now, those elite Jizhou soldiers of Yuan Shao's army still did not exert their full strength under Shang Yu's strict order. It can even be said that they are still able to handle it with ease.
They were fighting. However, the result was that the joint with the left wing was formed, and Yan Gang took the opportunity to take a bite.
In order not to distract the front army and also to show the enemy's weakness, Yuan Shao sent two thousand troops, while Shang Yu was so clear-minded that he didn't care about the flank issue at all. All his eyes were now focused on the distance and he had already started to act.
Get up and get troops.
"Let me end this war!"
Gongsun Fan nodded slightly to Gongsun Ke, the commander of another cavalry team not far away. The other party also gave Gongsun Fan a slightly weird gesture. When he saw this strange gesture, Gongsun Fan once again smiled on his face.
Come, obviously this is a special communication gesture circulated among Gongsun's army, which represents a specific tactical significance.
Sure enough, after seeing the gesture, Gongsun Fan raised his hand behind him, then clamped the horse's belly, the horse under his crotch, and even the thousands of large white horse followers behind him all started to move - first walking slowly, and then walking in small steps.
Fast forward, and finally charge at high speed.
Warming up, accelerating, and finally charging, this series of actions is very important for Gongsun Fan, who has lived on horseback for nearly twenty years, or for the elite soldiers of the White Horse Yi Cong under his command, or for the Karasuma Assault Cavalry.
It's so familiar, so familiar that even without orders from their superiors, they can still send out a decent formation to carry out a large-scale charge.
Feeling the familiar sound and rhythm of the earth shaking behind him, the smile on Gongsun Fan's face, who was rushing to the front as the arrow of the entire army, became brighter and brighter, and in this brilliance, there was a deep sense of joy.
Murderous, bloody murderous intent.
"Open our battle flag and let the guys on the opposite side go underground and become a wise man!"
The purple battle flag was raised. It was the battle flag belonging to the white horse Yi Cong. Apart from the purple background, there was only a pure white war horse on the battle flag. The galloping war horse was moving forward indomitably. I am invincible!
"Here we come! Pass my order and the whole army is ready. The enemy will act according to the plan after arriving at the predetermined position. They are not allowed to move in advance, let alone retreat and fight cowardly. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy! Then, let me finish it.
Let’s fight this war!”
After struggling for so long, he finally waited for this moment. The burning blood in his body seemed to have cooled down in an instant. He looked coldly at the gradually accelerating troops on the opposite side. In Yuan Shaojun's eyes, the representative of Gongsun Army was also the most powerful.
Ace, Shang Yu secretly swore that today this army will disappear from history without leaving a single ripple.
The shaking of the earth became more and more obvious. Even Yuan Shao in the rear and the civil servants and generals surrounding him felt this rumbling feeling. The heart speeded up with the frequency of the vibration, and the blood speeded up with the frequency of the vibration.
And boiling.
This is the feeling of thousands of horses galloping!
This is the scene that passionate men can only experience in their dreams!
It's very exciting, and it makes you want to rush forward and have a good fight, right?
Perhaps it is indeed like this. But it is a pity that no matter how fast the heart beats and the blood boils, Yuan Shao and his men still sit firmly under the flag of the Chinese army, quietly waiting for the news of the victory of the former army.
, as stable as a rock in the water.
Not only these big shots, but also the soldiers around them who had weathered expressions on their faces, completely ignoring the deterrent power of the most terrifying war weapons from ancient battlefields.
Why can they be so calm in the face of such a massive cavalry charge? This is unscientific!
Seeing that the military formation of Yuan Shaojun's front army was getting closer and closer. Gongsun Fan, who had excellent eyesight, could clearly see the expressions on the faces of the soldiers in the front row, but those faces that were as calm as ice on the ground were doomed.
I want to disappoint Gongsun Fan.
This kind of disappointment continued to erode Gongsun Fan's brain, and even made him unable to concentrate. He even failed to notice that the aura of Yuan Shaojun opposite him at this moment had undergone a subversive change. It seemed that a sudden change had occurred.
A unique aura spread among them, allowing them to successfully resist the intimidation brought by the charge of the cavalry group.
I don’t even know when. The weapons in their hands have changed from short swords and long spears that are good for melee combat to extremely destructive weapons of mass destruction - strong bows and crossbows, especially those from the Han Dynasty.
The crossbow——
Including the big yellow crossbow that Li Guang used to kill the Huns' generals mentioned in "Historical Records. Biography of General Li". It is a powerful weapon that is among the top-grade individual crossbows in terms of range and power. It is also slightly less powerful.
The waist-opening crossbow and the arm-opening crossbow.
Don't underestimate these terrifying weapons. You need to know that the powerful crossbow called the Dahuang Crossbow was the king of individual crossbows in the Han Dynasty. It is said that only a crossbow with the power of ten stones can be given this title. You can use this kind of crossbow.
Soldiers who fight with powerful crossbows are all in the army
The strongest group of people, and in order to maximize the power of this powerful crossbow during combat, this kind of crossbow is equipped with brave veterans who have been on the battlefield. There are even rumors in the army: the order points to the arrow.
There will be nothing under the rain.
The range of the Rhubarb Crossbow is about one mile (made in Han Dynasty), or about three hundred steps. When converted into modern weights and measures, it is a distance of more than 400 meters. The killing range is nearly 200 meters, and within fifty meters it can be said to have extremely strong damage.
With its penetrating power, it can be used with a rifle bow for coverage shooting, or it can be used for fixed-point sniping with special feather arrows. It can be said to be a very terrifying standard weapon.
And this is also an important source of Shang Yu's absolute confidence in his own army.
Of course, another more important reason lies in the experience of the robes around him in the northwest for several years.
After all, compared with the land of Jizhou, which is relatively rich in fertile land and has a pretty good climate close to the sea, the northwest can be said to be extremely harsh. Especially after passing Chencang, the dry climate is very uncomfortable.
Adaptation, not to mention the cold winter in the northwest, where the cold wind is as sharp as a knife and rolls up snowflakes as big as copper coins, which are like knives with barbs on your face and body.
Even if he was stationed in a military camp, he still couldn't resist the pervasive cold. The young man who originally didn't like the things in the cup became obsessed with the feeling of a warm current rising from his belly. So in the past few years, in addition to harvesting
In addition to the vicissitudes of life and fortitude on their faces, there are wine pits and red rosaceous noses on many people's faces that can make mosquitoes crawl on their feet.
Maybe they don't know what the scene will be like in the northeast of Youzhou where the winter is equally harsh, but thinking about it, it won't be worse than what they experienced...
Well, if Li Shushi knew the thoughts of these Jizhou soldiers, he would definitely say that they were too ignorant. You must know that he had experienced the scene of hundreds of thousands of war horses galloping on the same battlefield, and had also seen the actual control area of the Han Dynasty.
The northernmost part also has the winter scenery further north, not to mention that he has never been to Harbin and Daqing in his previous life. Cities like Daqing that stand at the northern end of the black earth, even if the heat island effect is offset, it is really close to minus 30 degrees.
.
However, we have to admit that harsh environments can indeed temper people's minds. Therefore, strong soldiers emerge from poor mountains and harsh waters, and children of poor people have long been the masters. After experiencing harsh environments and powerful enemies, even if they are put into a harsher environment than before,
They will definitely be able to adapt to the environment quickly, not to mention that they now have powerful weapons in hand. Jizhou soldiers do have the capital to be proud and confident.
Just like the Baima Yicong who had been crippled once and were reorganized into a powerful force that no one in the world can ignore, such a Jizhou army returning from the northwest has been branded as their own——
Military spirit.
The strong bow and crossbow in his hand are ready, just waiting for the commander's order.
At this moment, not only Shang Yu calmly stared at the approaching enemies in the distance, but Chang Kai, who had been very anxious all the time, also suddenly calmed down, as well as the soldiers returning from the northwest - Yan Ming, Jiao Chu, Zhang
Nan, Ma Yan, Han Ding, Han Meng, He Mao...
Closer, closer...
There seemed to be some wet breath oozing out of the palm of his hand, and the icy cold wind passed through it, leaving a biting feeling. But Shang Yu knew his mission - he should not let the crossbow trigger in advance, but should wait until he could give the enemy the maximum
Issue orders before the killing distance to ensure that the enemy can suffer maximum battle damage. Only in this way can the enemy have no chance to turn around and escape.
After all, if the cavalry really wants to escape, the infantry will not be able to catch up anyway, and the enemy may even launch a countercharge to turn the tide of the battle because the pursuit formation is too scattered.
Just like the Song Dynasty in history, due to the scarcity of war horses, even though the military force was once strong, because the battlefield was dominated by defeating battles rather than annihilation battles, it was never possible to inflict maximum damage on the enemy, causing the enemy to be like an invincible weakling.
Even though they were defeated, they could continue to fight again in a short period of time, eventually dragging down the national power of the Song Dynasty.
The enemy was about to enter the optimal shooting range, and Shang Yu felt that the time had come to give the order to fire.
However, just when his right arm was about to be raised, a change occurred... (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
