Five hundred and fiftieth eight chapters as a wall view
The armies of Zhou Tai and Yuan Tan were killing each other like a raging fire, and the two sides launched a battle. The battle was very fierce.
This battle lasted for half an hour. In the wilderness, there was blood flowing everywhere, corpses were piled on top of each other, there were cries everywhere, and everything was bright red, both for our own people and for the enemy.
, those who are standing are red, and those who are falling are also red...
During this battle, Yuan Tan kept urging his men to blow the horns and beat the drums vigorously, trying his best to make Yuan Shang, who was in charge of the stronghold not far away, hear clearly and invite him to come out and attack the enemy together.
But there was no movement at all from Yuan Shang's side.
This time, Yuan Tan was very anxious.
How is this completely different from what was promised?
Didn't they agree that with the sound of drums and horns as their command, Yuan Shang and Zhang He would send troops to attack Zhou Tai's troops together with them? What's going on now!
Although it is unclear why there is no movement on Yuan Shang's side, this side of the battlefield has fallen into a stalemate. No matter what, Yuan Tan must hold on with Zhou Tai, Tao Ji and others.
On the other side of Yuan Shang's main stronghold, Zhang He now also went to Yuan Shang's main stronghold.
Yuan Shang was wearing armor and looked like he was waiting for danger, but his behavior did not look like he was going to send troops.
Zhang He walked up to Yuan Shang, bowed his hands to him and said, "Third Young Master, the eldest Young Master has been making noises and trumpets for quite some time. Should we send troops to help him defeat the enemy?"
However, Yuan Shang looked unhurried and said confidently: "General Zhang, don't be anxious. The Jinling Army is very cunning. If we send troops in a hurry, what should we do if we fall into the enemy's trap? Let the eldest brother and Zhou Taina
Let’s fight for a while, and when the time is right, I won’t be too late to send out troops!”
"The time is ripe?" Zhang He muttered in his mind: "What you call the time is ripe, I'm afraid you are waiting for Yuan Tan and Zhou Tai to suffer a loss, and then take advantage of the situation to send troops, right? We are both sons of the Yuan family, even if you hate your brother, don't you think his subordinates
soldiers and generals, and you completely ignore them?'
Zhang He felt even colder towards the two sons of the Yuan family.
"Then I dare to ask the third young master, what if the eldest son loses to Zhou Tai and loses his troops? What should he do?"
Yuan Shang thought that would be the best! If I don’t look back, my father will only know that I can defeat the battle alone!
Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Why does General Zhang have so little confidence in my brother? Didn't my father say that when it comes to using troops to fight, my eldest brother should be the most important among the Yuan family's descendants? Could it be that General Zhang can't even believe my father's words?"
Besides! Who is Zhou Tai? He was a water thief leader in Jiujiang County in the past! How can he compare with my elder brother?"
Zhang He didn't reply when he heard the words. He was silent for a long time and then said: "What the Third Young Master said is true. Then the general will just wait for the Third Young Master's military order."
Yuan Shang never expected that Zhang He would be so enlightened and did not express any opinions on his own ideas.
Could it be that his idea was really good? Was it appreciated by Zhang He?
Just when Yuan Shang felt good about himself, the pottery merchant finally started to take action!
Yuan Tan was directing his soldiers to fight Zhou Tai, when suddenly, he heard a cry of death not far behind him.
Yuan Tan's nerves suddenly became tense. Yuan Shang's stronghold was not in this direction at all. Even if his reinforcements arrived, they would not come from his own rear formation. If they did, they would come from Zhou Tai's rear...
That means that the troops in the rear are not Yuan Shang's generals.
Yuan Tan turned his head timidly, and what he saw was a majestic army of soldiers and horses, as well as the bright gold characters on their flags.
"pottery"!
Yuan Tan's face turned pale instantly.
"Difficult, could it be a pottery merchant?"
Tao Shang did not give Yuan Tan a chance to think too much. His troops, with A Fei as the vanguard, slammed into Yuan Tan's rear formation.
In an instant, more than a thousand Jinling cavalry who were rushing to the front showed their weapons and brutally killed the soldiers and horses of Yuan Tan's army in the rear.
On both sides of the Tao Shang Army, the Liannu Army also began to show its power. Countless crossbow arrows were like locusts, drawing straight streamlines in the air, and then forming a dense array, flying fiercely and indiscriminately.
Got out.
"Whizzing!"
The arrows were like locusts, endless, covering the Hebei Army one after another. They could even directly drive the cavalry soldiers on both sides of Yuan Tan's rear formation from their horses. From time to time, huge horses suddenly appeared while running.
They fell down, and the men and horses were separated by a long distance.
And in this battle, the person who fought hardest was A Fei.
As the most valiant general among the young generation of the Tao Shang Army, A Fei Tao Shang has not been able to fight against the Hebei Army since the military order was issued for the Tao Shang Army to attack Qizhai.
Ah Fei is young and energetic, and fighting on the battlefield is currently the best way to prove his ability. However, the pottery merchant hid him in such a major battle. To a certain extent, this was an inhuman torture for him.
Now that he was able to go to the battlefield, Ah Fei finally had his fun. He was galloping back and forth on the battlefield, clashing back and forth. Among the soldiers of the two armies, no one's excitement could be compared with his. If I want to use a metaphor,
He can only be compared to...
"It's like a wild dog that has escaped the reins." Tao Shangzhongjun said with emotion as he looked at Ah Fei who was fighting bloody battles in the front.
Pei Qian stayed by the potter's side and always looked at what the potter wanted.
"Young man, he is eager to make meritorious deeds. The prime minister has not taken action these days, but he has been choked so much that it is understandable." Pei Qian said with a smile.
"How are Huang Xu's preparations going?" the pottery merchant turned to look at Pei Qian and asked.
Pei Qian raised his head and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, General Huang Xu has followed the Prime Minister's instructions to ambush Yuan Tan on his way back to his main camp. After Yuan Tan escapes, he will be captured alive!"
Tao Shang nodded and said: "That's very good... but I will send someone to tell Huang Xu later that Yuan Tan must be captured alive and his life must not be hurt!"
Pei Qian hurriedly said: "The general has already explained this to General Huang Xu. I will send someone to inform him again."
At the same time, Yuan Tan's army in the front line was struggling to fight against Zhou Tai's troops and horses, but now they were suddenly attacked from the rear by the pottery merchant's troops, and the situation suddenly became much more dangerous.
Yuan Tan has been in the army for many years. He can roughly tell at a glance whether the current situation is victory or defeat, whether it can be reversed or not.
Facing the two-pronged attack by Zhou Tai and Tao Shang's army, Yuan Tan understood that most of his soldiers would have to be here today.
But in today's defeat, if Yuan Tan really couldn't defeat Zhou Tai or Tao Shang, he would be willing to have no regrets in his heart.
But this is not the case.
He was holding back a monstrous anger in his heart, which could almost break through his heavenly spirit and reach straight into the sky!
Why didn't Yuan Shang send troops to help?
Why did he break his promise?
Why don't you keep your promise?
If Yuan Shang was willing to abide by the agreement, today's battle would definitely not be like this!
And that Zhang He, he came here on behalf of Yuan Shao... but it was clearly because Yuan Shang was defeated in order to pin the blame on himself?
Zhang He is just a general, categorically without courage, or his father is too biased against Yuan Shang! He would rather sacrifice his own military exploits and reputation to pave the way for Yuan Shang!
Seeing the soldiers around him fall into a pool of blood one by one, Yuan Tan's eyes almost turned blood red. He gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Yuan Shao! You are a father in vain! You are too partial! Yuan Shang! You are standing by and doing harm to me.
I, I will fight with you to death for the rest of my life."
