Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Li Family's Soldiers
Puyang was Chen Gong's first target for a number of reasons. Puyang is the Xiongcheng of East County, guarding the main roads of Chenliu and Jiyin counties, and its significance is self-evident; On the other hand, because he knew something about Cao Cao's offensive against Dongjun, he knew that Cao Cao would not pounce all his troops and horses in Puyang so realistically, and he was worried that Zhang Liao would be deceived.
Seeing the figure of the 4,000 Wuhuan soldiers led by Yan Zhi galloping on the official road in Puyang made Chen Gong feel relieved, compared to the whole army pressing or turning a blind eye, this approach is undoubtedly the most appropriate and foolproof strategy.
Chen Gong, who went south to Yanzhou, can be said to be full of ambition, living in Yedu and Zhao for many years, and all he was thinking about day and night was how to defeat Cao Cao with the help of Yanbei's power and drive away the jackal they opened the door to usher! The battle strategy Chen wrote two hundred catties, but none of the pieces of wood could be delivered to Yan Bei. Yanbei didn't see him at all, not to mention that he just waited in front of King Zhao's palace, but he couldn't wait.
Either he went north to Youzhou, or he went to Zhao Yuan for military training, and he almost didn't touch the ground, and he never saw him enjoying himself in the vast palace, which made Chen Gong angry. In fact, as Guo Jia said, Chen Gong didn't have much ambition, and even when he welcomed Lu Bu into Yan, he just wanted to make up for his past mistakes and drive Cao Cao away. Chen Gong's first cast Cao and then Cao back, but it was not as Guo Jia said, because Cao Cao was not heroic enough.
Cao Cao is heroic enough, a wise monarch, but so what? Cao Cao only has Yanzhou! It's as if Yanbei was a native of Liaodong and later ruled Youzhou, and the people of the state were a little rebellious, but most of them were still willing to obey him. But if the Jizhou people come to rule Youzhou with soldiers, it will be when the Jizhou people only have soldiers and no other territory...... The guest will see himself as the host, which in itself is wrong.
Riding down to Henan alone, Chen Gong is to put into practice the strategy that he has been planning for a long time, and take Cao ** away from Yanzhou!
But...... Chen Gongtai's luck is not good. In Puyang, he intercepted Yan Zhi, who was on the way, but in Fan County, he failed to intercept Zhang Liao, who was stationed in the army, again. Chen Gong's robe, which ran out of the heavy rain area in the north of Dongjun, was still damp, and he climbed over the hill and looked at Fandi City, and saw that two huge armies in the southwest outside the city were catching and fighting, and the huge shouting and killing was chilling, and Chen Gong sighed.
He came one step too late, and Cao Jun and Zhang Liaojun had already been killed in one place!
The terrain of Dongjun on the south bank of the Yellow River in Yanzhou is the same as that of Jizhou, most of them are plains, and Cao Cao has a slight advantage in the topography of Cao Cao, who sent troops from the southeast, because there are several mountains and rivers to the south, and the troops can often get unexpected results when they send troops from the mountain road, and the back of the Shuize River is easy to deploy defenses in the retreat, and Lu Bu lost to Cao Cao in the final defense battle in the past.
Now Cao Cao obviously wants to repeat his old tricks, relying on the complex terrain south of Dongjun to deploy troops, and the main force of Zhang Liao is tired everywhere...... Looking at the distant plain like the armies of two great dragons, the world was changing and fighting, Chen Gong closed his eyes in pain and couldn't bear to look at them anymore.
This is just Cao Cao's front army, Chen Gong, who experienced the battle for LĂź Bu Yanzhou, knows that when Cao Cao's entire offensive converges, it will be like a thunderbolt and give Zhang Liao's army a blow. The 60,000 troops are all in one place, and Zhang Wenyuan, who has only 30,000 horses under his command and is scattered all over the country, is there any room for slow turn?
Under the city of Fanyang, Zhang Nian fell into a bitter battle.
He didn't know who the opponent was, when this army of nearly 8,000 and divided into two formations appeared in Fanxian County, he observed that the banner was not the general of the Cao clan, and the color of the soldier's uniform was not the Cao family's black armor, and there were not many big armors, it looked like a group of local armed forces who had obtained the armor of the regular army, and he had never heard that there was any general surnamed Li in the Cao army, so he raised troops to kill, and it was regarded as a battle exploit sent to the door.
Zhang Nian, who led a solo section for the first time, was extremely excited about this, and this was the first time he led a single team of soldiers and horses to fight. And in the final analysis, if he can make military achievements, his promotion chances are much stronger than others, and he is King Zhao's township party...... Zhang Nian, Bei Yan, Guo Xin, Sun Zong and others, all out of the Liaodong Xuansu area, and studied in the Liaodong Academy, born to be a warrior with the Yan brand, since the academy was recommended by Bing Yuan to be a military marquis, but over the years have become a school captain Taishou, and it is even more essential to become a general in the future.
Therefore, he is more enthusiastic about meritorious service than others.
How do you know that when you first engage in the army, you hit the iron plate.
Fighting with him is Cao Cao's subordinate Li clan soldiers and Le Jin's commando team before the battle, Le Jin needless to say, five short body battle formations with a knife in one hand and a drumstick in the other hand to kill the invincible brave general, by Yanbei called the 'Le Shorty' fierce man;
That time, Lu Bu's army was short of food and grass, so he went south to take the clan and killed the big clan Li Gan, Li Gan's son Li Quanju gathered his family soldiers to attack Lu Bu for revenge, and Li Jin, a county man, defeated Lu Bu, and Li Cheng killed Xue Lan and Li Feng.
The Li clan is not very well-known in the Youji Dynasty, but in the Bingzhou army, they are veritable murderers, even the few hundred Bingzhou veterans under Zhang Liao Gaoshun's subordinates who have survived a hundred battles are unwilling to fight against the Li family's soldiers...... However, Zhang Nian, a stunned young man from Liaodong, bumped into him.
In all fairness, Zhang Nian's subordinate soldiers are also brave, most of the 5,000 soldiers are men recruited by the three counties of Youdong to endure enough hardships, and the soldiers are complete and have the advantage of a sandalwood bow, which is considered a strong army, but unexpectedly encountered a more courageous Li army in the first engagement. In addition to grain and grass, the soldiers of the Li family are self-sufficient in armor drills, and even a lot of grain and grass are provided by the Li clan, so there is no need to share the profits to Cao Cao. It would be good for the clan to be able to send troops, so it is difficult to organize all kinds of uniforms, and they who were originally high-spirited to fight when they encountered these most inferior protective armors under Zhang Nian were all imitations of the inlaid iron armor of the border army and horse team of the state, where could they still bear it, and suddenly they just thought about defeating them and taking off these excellent armor to arm themselves, regardless of whether you are a Liaodong soldier or a Xuansu soldier, each one is brave.
The high morale, coupled with the strong crossbow of Mount Tai, and the swing of Li Dian, the leader of the Li family, made it difficult for Zhang Nian to parry, not to mention that he was not as good as the Li family soldiers in terms of soldiers. Zhang Nian was in a hurry, and there was a mistake in the change of military formation.
Taishan strong crossbow crown the world, although the Tan bow is good, and Taishan strong crossbow but only between, after all, the number of soldiers is invincible, Zhang Nian remembered the past Yanbei with a strong crossbow army to defeat the Goguryeo Tan Bow team, the heart is timid, the flag can not be received, the western front will show a gap. In just a few dozen breaths, the loophole was captured by Li Dian, and under the wave of the flag, a rushing team of no more than eight hundred tore open the gap.
The first man danced his sword like a whirlwind, and in a moment he jumped into the formation through the weak line, raising his sword and drinking violently.
"Defend the country and Le Wenqian, the enemy will accept his life!"
