"The two of you will lead your troops to kill the enemy from both wings, and I will rush through from the center!"
"Kill!"
"Fight them!"
Various shouts echoed on the battlefield, and an intense battle was going on in full swing.
The strength of the Jinling Army was beyond Yuan Jun's imagination, and coupled with the attack from two sides, Yuan Tan's army was in a situation that could only be defeated in an instant.
"Concentrate the crossbow battalion and aim at the opponent's cavalry formation!"
"Send all ten arrows together, let go!"
A barrage of crossbow arrows once again flew across the field, creating another bloody storm.
Under the impact of this large wave of arrows, a large number of Yuan's soldiers were swept away.
This is already the third wave of arrows that Yuan Tanjun has experienced.
"Young Master, this battle cannot be fought. If you stay here any longer, your life will be in danger! The general will protect you and break out of the siege first!"
Wang Zhao rushed to Yuan Tan's side. Except for him, all the other generals under Yuan Tan's command were dead, missing, and even disappeared. Two generals, Ji Xiong and Zhang Qie, had even asked to surrender to the Jinling Army.
Once the war has reached this point, there is basically no point in continuing to quarrel with the other party.
While Yuan Tan was fighting with the generals, he said angrily: "All the soldiers and generals have been defeated. Even if we go back, will we be able to defend the stronghold?"
Wang Zhao hurriedly said: "Take it one step at a time! The eldest son must not give up! We have already been defeated. If the stronghold is lost again, and if the news reaches the ears of the general, the eldest son will really have no excuse."
Yuan Tan reluctantly glanced in the direction of Yuan Shang Dazhai, the hatred in his eyes almost beyond description in words.
He clamped his horse's belly and followed Wang Zhao to lead the Guards under his command, killing in the direction of his own camp.
Along the way, there were many Tao Shang soldiers who intercepted and killed Yuan Tan, but none of them seemed to be very dedicated. Yuan Tan was still in danger and led a small number of his trusted men to break out of the encirclement and fled in a hurry.
The scouts quickly reported the news that Yuan Tan had broken out of the siege and reported it to the pottery merchants who were holding the line at the rear.
Pei Qian then asked Tao Shang: "Prime Minister, are you pursuing me?"
Tao Shang chuckled and shook his head, saying: "It's not necessary. It should be enough to have Huang Xu kidnap him from behind. Even if Huang Xu can't kidnap him, most of his troops have been lost in this battle." , I will take care of Yuan Shang later and attack Yuan Tan's stronghold, and I can capture him easily."
Pei Qian nodded suddenly.
The pottery merchant ordered Pei Qian: "Immediately send an order. Zhuo Zhoutai, Tao Ji, A Fei and others quickly calm down the situation in the field and stand ready to wait for Yuan Shang's arrival."
Pei Qian was quite surprised when he heard this: "If the war is going to this level, will Yuan Shang still come?"
"Of course he will come." Tao Shang said with a smile: "The reason why the battle is going to such an extent is because of our layout, but Yuan Shang doesn't know about it. He is waiting for both Zhou Tai and Yuan Tan to be injured, and then sends troops to pick up the slack."
Pei Qian nodded suddenly, and then hurried to the front line to deliver the order.
…
At this moment, Yuan Shang calculated the time correctly and began to mobilize troops and horses, preparing to support Yuan Tan.
Zhang He looked on with cold eyes, knowing that Yuan Shang was just trying to make a profit.
"Master, why don't you send scouts out to explore the military situation before making any move?" Zhang He asked.
Yuan Shang waved his hand and said confidently: "My brother is currently fighting with the enemy and thieves. There is much to explore! Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I have to go!"
Zhang He couldn't help but admire Yuan Shang's shamelessness.
However, his self-confidence is a good thing for Zhang He. He originally wanted to recommend himself and send his scouts to "find out" the situation in order to paralyze Yuan Shang. However, judging from the current situation, even this matter was omitted.
.
Zhang He thought for a while and admonished Yuan Shang: "It's just that the enemy's situation is unclear now, and we need to have troops and horses from the rear to carefully coordinate. If Zhou Tai separates his troops to capture our camp, and our entire army goes out to fight, wouldn't it be dangerous in the rear?"
Yuan Shang secretly cursed Zhang He for having a disease in his head!
Zhou Tai's troops are simply not as good as his own, and now he has to deal with Yuan Tan. Where can he spare the extra troops?
Even with this cautious attitude, he cannot become a general!
No wonder he can't surpass Wen Chou so far, Zhang He is really a grinder.
"Since General Zhang is so thoughtful, you don't have many people around you. The three thousand people under your command should be at the rear to provide support."
Zhang He sighed inwardly... Why was Yuan Shang walking into the ditch step by step?
"Third Young Master, I'm fine in the rear. It's just that you may have won over Zhou Tai..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shang's face suddenly turned red...bloody red!
He had more soldiers than Zhou Tai, but he failed to fight Zhou Tai repeatedly. This incident was enough to lose Yuan Shang's face.
Now Zhou Tai and Yuan Tan have been fighting for nearly an hour. If he can't beat him anymore, then he might as well stop being the third son of Jizhou.
"Thank you for your concern, General Zhang. I will definitely be able to handle it!" When Yuan Shang said this, he almost gritted his teeth.
Zhang He raised his hand to Yuan Shangyi and said, "In that case, please be more careful, Third Young Master."
Yuan Shang glanced at him coldly, and then strode out of the handsome tent.
…
Yuan Shang called his soldiers, organized his troops and horses, quickly left the stronghold, and rushed straight to the place where Yuan Tan fought fiercely.
When he thought about it, Yuan Tan and Zhou Tai were already as weak as generals. They were covered in blood and could not block his thunder blow.
But it is a pity that the fact is that Yuan Tan has been defeated by Zhou Tai and Tao Shang. These two groups of troops are setting up their battle formations, just waiting to defeat Yuan Shang again.
"Third Young Master! Look, that's the enemy's formation!" Next to Yuan Shang, General Xu Lian shouted to him.
Yuan Shang narrowed his eyes and saw row after row on the opposite side, it was the Jinling Army!
But what was different from what he imagined was that they were not as brutal as he imagined, and they were very powerful and well-arranged, as if they were waiting for him.
No, where is Yuan Tan? Why aren’t Yuan Tan and the others here?
Yuan Shang was a little undecided, but the pottery merchant didn't give him any time to think about it.
"Fire the arrow!"
The Qiang Gong Battalion and the Liannu Battalion fired at the same time, instantly shooting down a large number of troops at the front of Yuan Shang's charge army.
Immediately afterwards, the fierce cavalry camp led by A Fei and Zhou Tai began to charge quickly, and they were entangled with Yuan Shang's men and horses in an instant. They were extremely powerful and showed no sign of fatigue. Instead, they became more and more courageous as they fought.
The charge momentum of Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses was kept in place.
Just as the bloody battle just ended, another bloody battle began to break out.
Following the Jinling cavalry, Danyang elite troops also began to rush into Yuan Shang's formation.
In order to deal with the Hebei cavalry, Danyang's elite soldiers had all the weapons in their hands: spears and knives. The soldiers holding the spears stabbed the horsemen, and the machete soldiers slashed Yuan Shang's horse legs.
For a moment, countless soldiers howled and fell from their horses, with blood-red holes all over their bodies, and some even had their intestines scraped out. The horses with their legs cut off fell to the ground.
They were moaning and wailing desperately.
Yuan Shang is a little anxious!
What's going on? Why don't the soldiers of Zhou Tai's army weaken?
And looking at the quantity, it seems that it is increasing instead of decreasing?
Just when Yuan Shang was confused, he suddenly heard the guard beside him shout loudly: "Third Young Master, it's not good! The direction of our camp... is on fire!"
