Chapter 559: Guanzhong Strategy (11)

The crossbow array caused heavy casualties to the Guanzhong army in front of the shield wall. Around the shield wall, this place has been turned into an Shura field. Human corpses, horse corpses, all sorts of stumps, severed arms, and bloody entrails were everywhere. The Guanzhong army has always been conceited, and they didn't expect that they would run into a bloody encounter here today.

The drums of war rang rhythmically, and with the rhythm of the drums, the blood of the warriors poured upwards, roaring and shouting, and rushing upwards with red eyes with swords and guns. The war horse died, got up and fought on foot, the robe died, and immediately someone was on top. Forward and backward, flocking to the shield wall. They knew that as long as the shield wall was broken, the crossbowmen behind them could be slaughtered at will.

And the Han soldiers behind the shield wall also knew that if they were broken into the battle by the enemy, then waiting for everyone's result, it would only be a dead end. So the two sides strangled in the forward. The pikemen behind the shield wall, ignoring the soreness of their arms, obeyed only the officer's command, numbly stabbed their spears out, and withdrew; Prick it out again, take it back again. Under the tip of the gun, I don't know how many dead souls have been added. The blood had slowly swollen down the tip of the gun, soaking the linen cloth of the barrel, making the body of the gun a little sticky.

Liu Bei really saw it from the top of the tall building, that is, Guan Liangbing could be so fierce. If it were the troops of the other princes, I am afraid that they would have retreated long ago. Liu Bei sighed, these people are all sons of the Han family. did not die on the battlefield to open up territory for the Han Dynasty, but died in infighting. It's a shame. The shield array was slightly unstable, and the sword and axe men behind him jumped out, slashing the horse's legs and the heads of men. Liu Bei looked at it and saw that although the shield array could still resist the enemy, it was only a matter of time before it was broken through. After all, there are too few people on their own side, although they take advantage of the advantage of stubbornness, but under the desperate consumption of the Guanzhong coalition army regardless of life and death. There were also heavy casualties on his side. Liu Bei looked into the distance, over there, Wen Jin should also act, right?

Zhang Xiu followed Liu Bei to Guanzhong. When he arrived in Huayin, he did not act with Liu Bei. The five thousand elite cavalry was transferred to him by Liu Bei, but he made a detour to raid Li Dao's grain road.

Since ancient times, war has been fought with less. In addition to being strong enough, you have to come up with a machine to use it. And the grain road has become a tried-and-true factor of victory and defeat. Looking at the ancient and modern war examples at home and abroad, there are countless examples of defeat due to grain and grass problems. Although the grain is transported from Chiyang to Xinfeng, the distance is very close, but it is just to cross the Weishui. But Li Dao, who knew that Liyi was stationed in Linjin, still didn't dare to slack off, except for bringing the main force to Xinfeng to fight Liu Bei. He also asked Gao Gan to protect the flanks, in addition to guarding against Koji Yi, but also for the purpose of protecting food.

It's just that Li Dao prevented Lu Yi, but he couldn't prevent Zhang Xiu. In the Chinese military camp, below Liu Bei, the flags of generals such as Taishi, Zhao, and Zhang fluttered in the wind. And the news sent back by the spies also proves that Zhang Xiu is still in Liu Beijun. Since Koji Yi is in the north, Duan Xuan is in the south, and the rest of the generals are in Xinfeng. Then Li Dao felt that the flanks had a high cadre, and it was enough. didn't know that Zhang Xiu had gone around his back early.

When Xinfeng became a meat grinder, Duan Xuan and Koji Yi were not idle. Koyi went up along Luoshui, captured Suyi and Yaxian, and then turned around and came to Pinyang. After covering Zhang Xiu's movement to the extreme, Koyi was in Gaoling and finally met with Gao Gan's soldiers. When Gao Gan saw Ko Yi, his anger suddenly surged, and he couldn't help scolding: "A thief who betrays the master, what face does he have to live in the world?" ”

Koji Yi is not easy to mess with, and immediately ironic: "I am a Han general, loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, how can I carry anyone?" Yuan Shao shepherded one side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but he was unkind to the soldiers and subordinates, unloyal to the emperor and unfilial to the clansmen. It is self-exclusiveness from the world. What do I do? ”

When Gao Gan heard this, he was so angry that he smoked. With a swing of the big gun in his hand, he raised it diagonally, and then took the lead and led the horse to attack Koji. Lu Yi fought the Qiang people in Liangzhou and went to Jizhou to fight the Yellow Turban, and later followed Yuan Shao to fight Gongsun Zhan, and fought countless battles in this life. Although I am old, my energy is a little lacking. But this wealth of experience is not comparable to that of senior cadres. When he saw that the high cadres were coming, he ordered all the armies to form a circle, with spears and shields on the outside and bows and crossbows on the inside. However, the large array was not dead, first under the command of Koji Yi, it slowly retreated to slow down the offensive of Gao Gan. And the soldiers were in three teams together to support each other. As long as the high-level cavalry attacked, they would be attacked from three sides and arrows flying from the air.

The large array slowly retreated, but the cavalry did not know it and still followed the attack. By the time the breath break came to its senses, it was too late. In the army, Koji Yi saw from afar that the momentum of the high-ranking army was exhausted, so he waved the command flag, and suddenly, the large formation that slowly retreated was a pause, and then began to squeeze forward slowly but firmly.

At first, they slowly pushed back the enemy army, but then the speed gradually increased. Gao Gan saw his troops disappear one by one. And the enemy army, which was still retreating, began to move forward step by step. When I looked closely, my face changed immediately. Busy ordering Mingjin to withdraw his troops. This has to be fought again. I'm going to be defeated. With such a small amount of family wealth brought from Hanoi, it can't be completely buried here. This is the foundation of his and Yuan Shang's lives. If he has no soldiers, will Li Dao still pay attention to himself?

Gao Gan, who had made up his mind from the beginning to preserve his strength, chose to retreat in the face of Koji's offensive. When Koji Yi forced Gao Gan to retreat, Duan Xuan also took action. He guarded Lantian and said to the deputy general Xu Huang: "Gongming, my old man, now the lord is fighting in Xinfeng, and you can lead the army to help." ”

Xu Huang followed Yang Feng to get into trouble and fought in the Baibo Army. Fortunately, Yang Feng later surrendered to the imperial court and finally got a serious identity. But the good times didn't last long, and when he arrived in Qingzhou, Yang Feng was partial and restless, which made Xu Huang not embarrassed. Although he submitted to Liu Bei. But because of Yang Feng's identity and death. The identity of the white wave thief on Xu Huang's body can't be washed away in a short period of time. Duan Xuan is getting older, and the desire to win in his heart is gradually disappearing, but he is bent on helping the young man. In his opinion, Xu Gongming is brave and loyal, and should not be unknown. So he decided to put him on the horse and give him another ride.

Originally, Liu Bei's order was to let Duan Xuan stay in Lantian after the unveiling of the Xinfeng War, and then lead the main force to attack Li Dao's right side. Now Duan Xuan decided to stay in Lantian himself, and let Xu Huang lead the main force to help Liu Bei. If this battle is fought beautifully, Xu Huang should also enter the eyes of the lord Liu Bei.

When Xu Huang heard this, he was grateful, and he also knew Duan Xuan's kindness. The opportunity is rare, and he naturally has to desperately grasp it. Look at Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yan, etc., they are all generals, but they have risen in Qingzhou one by one. In this case, the general is a big-hearted person. As long as you have talent, he is not limited to the background of generals. So Xu Huang secretly gritted his teeth, in this battle, he must show his own fame and prestige, so that the general knows that there is also Xu Huang and Xu Gongming in Qingzhou!
