Zhang Chun is a decisive person in killing, otherwise he would not have been able to gather the remaining troops to continue to resist after Zhang Jushen disappeared, let alone push Gongsun Zan to a desperate situation. He did not know why Gongsun Zan suddenly turned east, and even suspected that this was
It wasn't some trick played by the other party, but he quickly made up his mind.
Let those barbarians die. Don't let Gongsun Zan go! As long as the two pontoon bridges on the river are cut off, no matter how many reinforcements there are, they won't be able to kill them. As long as Gongsun Zan is killed...
.....
Upon thinking of this, Zhang Chun immediately gave a loud order, asking the soldiers to bypass the chaotic battlefield and pursue Gongsun Zan's army.
Previously, Gongsun Zan's troops were arrayed outside the west gate. Zhang Chun thought that he was going to advance from east to west, so he pulled some of the troops from the east camp. When Gongsun Zan's troops suddenly advanced eastward, the camp was short of troops and was quickly defeated.
Chu camp. Just when Gongsun Zan was about to let the army rush out from here, Yan Gang suddenly came over on horseback.
The horse's back was covered with mud, and Yan Gang seemed to have just rolled in the mud. He jumped off the horse and said urgently: "My lord, the enemy's army across the river has been defeated!"
Gongsun Zan's footsteps suddenly stopped. He was silent for a while. When Yan Gang was anxious, he said: "You said that the rebel army across the river was defeated? Tian Yu only had a thousand men in his hands. How could he do this?
arrive?"
Yan Gang quickly said: "Maybe he concealed the number of reinforcements, maybe there was internal strife among the rebels, no matter what, half of the rebels' troops are already dead!"
Gongsun Zan's eyes were filled with joy, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily, "So..."
Yan Gang said loudly: "We should turn around immediately and fight the rebels to the death!"
Guan Jing ran over from a distance, his sleeves full of mud. As soon as he came over, he asked anxiously: "My lord, why don't you leave? The rebels have already caught up!"
Gongsun Zan took a deep breath and said loudly: "We are not leaving! Beat the drums, we will fight to the death with the thieves!"
Guan Jing was shocked and said: "What?"
He hurriedly grabbed Gongsun Zan's sleeve and said: "My lord, you absolutely must not do this!"
Gongsun Zan pushed Guan Jing and strode back. Guan Jing was pushed to the ground and shouted to Yan Gang who was lagging behind: "General Yan, please advise my lord, don't waste the battle!"
Yan Gang walked over, helped him up, and said, "Mr. Guan, you don't understand the war."
The sound of drums and horns rang in the camp that had just been conquered, and then Gongsun Zan's banner began to move towards the way it came. The messengers covered in mud ran wildly on the road, shouting: "My lord has an order, turn around and fight."
The thieves fight to the death!"
The generals who were about to turn in were all confused. Didn't they agree to change the direction? Why did it turn into a fight to the death with the enemy? Could it be that... this was all the master's plan? Well,
It must be! It must be Mr. Guan’s idea! It’s so clever. If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself!
The generals quickly adjusted their mentality and directed their troops to turn around and prepare to fight the rebels. They couldn't do it unless they turned around. Gongsun Zan's headquarters blocked the broken camp. If they wanted to escape, they had to
If you move in another direction, you will be attacked by soldiers from other rebel camps, and you might even be beaten by the furious Gongsun Zan...
Moreover, they are all officers and soldiers, and they have an inherent psychological advantage over the rebels and barbarians. If they were to fight head-on, how would they lose? Previously, it was because the horses died in large numbers, and the infantry could not defeat the larger cavalry in the wilderness.
But now the cavalry is useless, who is afraid of whom!
Gongsun Zan's army formed an array with its back to the camp, and Zhang Chun, who was leading the pursuit, became confused again. At first, he thought Gongsun Zan was planning to attack him from east to west with the reinforcements of officers and soldiers. Later, he thought Gongsun Zan was trying to escape, but now he stopped.
What is the purpose of arraying?
Do you think you are about to be overtaken and just turn back for a decisive battle? Or have you planned it in advance?
Zhang Chun thought for a while with an uncertain expression. He really couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He shouted loudly and asked his soldiers to blow the horns, commanding the Hu and Han troops under his command to rush forward. Gongsun Zan's army had just finished forming.
, they saw the enemy rushing forward, and they immediately rushed forward to meet them.
A fierce battle broke out immediately between the two sides. Gongsun Zan had 15,000 soldiers and horses under his command. His own troops held down the camp in the breached camp. The remaining troops were divided into three parts: left, center and right. Zhang Chuntong also divided the troops under his command.
They split into three groups and charged head-on.
There are not so many tricks in the battle between infantry, especially on rainy days when bows and crossbows cannot be used. Whoever has more troops and a tighter formation will win. However, Zhang Chun has more troops, Gongsun Zan
The troops are even more organized.
The sound of weapons clashing, the dull sound of human bodies being hacked, the sounds of wounded people screaming, the sounds of soldiers shouting for fierce battle... Countless sounds intertwined together and enveloped the land, forming a
The hell was called the battlefield. The mud was dyed bright red by blood, and turned dark red by countless pairs of feet.
The front line was constantly being broken down, and new troops were added. Because the ground was full of mud, whether it was Zhang Chunjun's sudden advance or Gongsun Zan's counterattack, they would be pushed back after advancing for a certain distance.
Went back. There was a fierce battle for a long time. Except for the increasing casualties, neither side achieved any actual results.
During the fierce battle between the rebels and Gongsun Zan's army, Tian Yu's army had completely defeated the Wuhuan army. Countless people escaped from the camp and fled towards the north. From Qiu Liju down, everyone held the same belief. As long as
After crossing the Yanshan Mountains, we returned to our hometown.
When they arrived on the grassland, the Han people had no way to deal with them. Even if the Han army could show off its strength for a while, they would have to leave sadly in the end. If they were as strong as Gongsun Zan, wouldn't they be defeated on the grassland?
The wound on Qiu Liju's shoulder was still bleeding, and his shoulder blade was broken into several pieces. After being hastily bandaged, he hurriedly escaped from this sad place with his confidants.
"We are Wuhuan people, so we should live on the grassland!" He said to himself: "That damn Zhang Chun, it is best to die together with Gongsun Zan!"
After defeating the Wuhuan army, except for Chen Cheng who was still in high spirits, everyone else was too tired to move. Even Wei Ran and the others, although they could continue to fight, had killed so many people and fled so many people.
They were far away and were mentally tired. Now that the enemy had fled, their spirits relaxed and they lay down on the ground, unwilling to get up again.
Chen Cheng walked around the river with an ax in his hand. He saw that the river was fast and the original pontoon bridges were destroyed. Even if the soldiers could still fight, there were no boats or bridges to cross the river. No one expected that the sky would suddenly fall.
After the heavy rain and the river water rose to such a high level, he could swim through it by himself, but what happened after it passed? Should he try to ride a thousand horses again?
The organization and morale of the Hu people were incomparable to the rebels. He could lead his people to break through the Wuhuan people's battle formation, but there was no way to defeat the rebels alone. What's more... He looked at himself
With little blood left, he shook his head and said to himself: "Gongsun Zan, just wish yourself good luck!"
Back in the camp, Tian Yu struggled to stand up and asked, "Can I go over?"
Chen Cheng pushed him back to the ground and said: "Don't be brave. If we don't rest for an hour or two, the soldiers will not be able to fight. But in just half an hour, it will be dark. We have defeated this side."
The enemy has already overfulfilled the task, and the rest will be left to General Zhonglang, you should have more confidence in him."
Tian Yu struggled for a while, but the muscles in his body were so sore that he had no choice but to lie back down. He hummed a few times and asked again: "How is the battle over there?"
"good."
Tian Yu asked: "What does it mean that it's okay?"
Chen Cheng said calmly: "It's OK, but it means it's not great."
“…..”
"You don't have to worry. I just found a high place and took a look. General Zhonglang and the rebels have been fighting for a long time. Neither of them could do anything to the other. They have withdrawn their troops."
"Ah!" Tian Yu slapped his thigh, and then screamed in pain. He said regretfully: "What a pity, what a pity. If we could cross the river and attack from behind the rebels, we could have accomplished our mission in one battle!"
"Haha," Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Where can there be so many good things in the world? It's a fluke that we can win, so don't expect too much."
Tian Yu sighed: "This opportunity is rare. If the rebels are prepared, it will not be so easy to eliminate them in the future."
Chen Cheng thought to himself: It would be great if Gongsun Zan was not eliminated, but how about annihilating the rebels?
After resting for a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the camp, and a group of Wuhuan people approached. When Chen Cheng saw that the other party showed green dots, he did not call others, but walked out with his ax and shouted:
"What are you here for?"
One of the Wuhuan people outside came out and said a lot to Chen Cheng, but he couldn't understand it at all. He quickly gestured and said, "You guys wait a minute."
Then, he turned around and called Ding Yuan out. After the Wuhuan people began to flee, Ding Yuan persuaded several camps guarded by the rebels to surrender, and brought his parents and brothers to the largest camp.
When he saw Chen Cheng calling him, he followed him out.
He can speak the language of some Hu people, whether they are Wuhuan or Xianbei Xiongnu. Ding Yuan muttered a few words to the Wuhuan people outside, then turned around and said: "Mr. Chen, what do you think of this person?"
Your name is Jin Sanhuan, and he is the leader of the Wuhuan tribe. He admires your bravery and wants to join you."
"Well?" Chen Cheng pointed at his nose and asked, "Are you sure? I'm not from Wuhuan, so why are they taking refuge in me?"
Ding Yuan was not sure, so he spoke a few more words to Jin Sanhuan, and then said with certainty: "That's right. Jin Sanhuan said that when they go to the grassland, they only recognize the strong, regardless of who they are. He said that divine power
General Tian is the strongest warrior he knows, so of course he will join us."
After finishing speaking, he added: "Jin Sanhuan also said that they have brought more than 5,000 sheep and horses, and they can all be dedicated to you."
Chen Cheng thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was not impossible.
