Chapter 317: The War Begins
Zhao Feng stood up and looked at Zhao Yun: "Zhao Yun! ”
"Gather all the cavalry, including my personal guard, and prepare to set out at once. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhao Yunyi arched his hand: "Huh." ”
With that, he withdrew from the chamber.
Wait for Zhao Yun to leave.
Zhao Feng looked at Tian Feng: "Brother Yuan Hao." ”
"The defense of Ao Cang will be handed over to you."
"Although Dong Zhuojun is unlikely to attack Aocang now."
"But be careful."
Tian Feng made a gesture: "According to what the sentry said." ”
"Dong Zhuo's army should be around 10,000 people, and there is at least one 2,500 cavalry."
"And Captain Zhang, Sima Zhou, Sima Huang, Sima Zhang and others have a total of only 7,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them are infantry."
"It is right for Bohu to lead 2,500 cavalry to reinforce, so that Dong Zhuojun's cavalry can be contained."
"In this way, without considering the actual combat effectiveness, the gap in the number of soldiers and horses of the two sides is not so big."
"However, Captain Zhang will definitely send a group of soldiers and horses to continue to escort the grain team, so that the soldiers and horses will definitely be less than Dong Zhuojun."
"And we can't guarantee that Dong Zhuojun will not have a follow-up army."
"If Dong Zhuojun still has a follow-up army, then you will be even more dangerous."
"In addition, the combat strength of the Xiliang Army is already higher than ours, so I should also lead the troops and go with Bohu."
"The city defense of Aocang will be handed over to Zhao Junhou, Pei Junhou, Guan Junhou and others, and they will add up to about 2,500 people."
"As long as there are no accidents, you can hold on for more than half a month!"
"What's more, it won't take that long at all, we will escort the grain to Xingyang, and we will naturally return."
Now Zhao Feng hurried to reinforcements, and he didn't think too much about it: "It's okay, just according to what Brother Yuan Hao said." ”
"But I will lead the cavalry first, Brother Yuan Hao should be careful along the way."
Tian Feng took a look: "Bohu rest assured." ”
With that, he turned around and prepared to leave the council chamber to listen.
Zhao Feng stretched out his hand to stop: "Brother Yuan Hao, slow down!" ”
Tian Feng turned his body and asked, "What else is the matter with Bohu?" ”
Zhao Feng looked at Dian Wei: "Dian Wei." ”
"You don't have a suitable war horse now, so don't follow me."
"Go and help Brother Yuan Hao for the time being, if you encounter Dong Zhuojun and are completely defeated, you remember to protect Brother Yuan Hao!"
Dian Wei arched his hand: "Huh." ”
"I promise to fight to the death, and I will protect Tian Junshi well!"
Tian Feng also bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you Bohu." ”
With that, the two walked out of the chamber.
After Dian Wei and Tian Feng left.
Zhao Feng looked at Zhao Tiezhu, Pei Yuanshao and others: "Zhao Tiezhu, Guan Qi, Pei Yuanshao, Xu Fei, a few of you, are responsible for guarding Aocang." ”
"No matter if there are enemies or not, you are not allowed to leave the city!"
Zhao Tiezhu, Pei Yuanshao and others arched their hands: "Obey!" ”
After speaking, several people withdrew from the conference hall one after another.
Zhao Feng arranged a few more trivial matters, and also walked out of the council hall and walked towards the place where the cavalry was stationed.
At the same time, Zhang Liao's department was at the place.
Zhou Cang stretched out his hand and pointed ahead: "Look, the enemy has appeared!" ”
Zhang Liao and Huang Shao looked in the direction of Zhou Cang's finger.
Sure enough, at the end of the field of vision, black spots had already appeared.
There are more and more black spots, and they are getting bigger and bigger.
It didn't take long for the silhouettes of the enemy's soldiers and horses to be seen.
Zhang Liao looked at it carefully, and said to Zhou Cang, Huang Shao and the others: "It's not as exaggerated as the sentry rider said. ”
"In my judgment, the enemy should be between seven thousand and eight thousand."
"These troops are not much more than ours."
"We just need to be careful of the enemy's cavalry, which, on this scale, has a maximum of two and a half thousand cavalry."
Then he looked at the herald next to him: "Pass on my judgment." ”
"Let's just say that the enemy army only has a thousand more cavalry than us, and as long as you stick to the small hillside, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"And it won't be long before our reinforcements arrive!"
The herald arched his hand: "Wow! ”
After speaking, he quickly passed on what Zhang Liao said.
This is still very effective.
In terms of morale, it is improving at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
Morale may be difficult to distinguish, but from the look on the soldier's face, one or two can be judged.
Before, everyone was sad and gloomy.
Now all eyes are starting to glow.
This is also very normal, the Xiliang Army is already prestigious, and the strength of the army is twice that of its own side.
There is no chance of winning at all.
Now I found that the other party only had a thousand more cavalry than myself.
Then there's nothing to be afraid of.
As long as it is not a retreat from the chaotic position, the cavalry will not be able to form a crush under normal circumstances, and of course it is certain that it will suffer.
But because of Zhao Feng's food and salary policy, killing a person will increase by thirty yuan every month.
It is equivalent to saying that the other side is all their own credit and money!
That's it.
Dong Zhuojun has completely appeared at the bottom of the hill.
Without trimming, he directly began to beat the war drums and began to adjust the formation.
Zhang Liao said to Zhou Cang and Huang Shao: "Zhou Sima, Huang Sima, you two go back to the headquarters and wait for help!" ”
Zhou Cang and Huang Shao arched their hands: "Huh." ”
After saying that, he rode his horse to his headquarters.
Wait for Zhou Cang and Huang Shao to leave.
Zhang Liao said to himself: "It's a pity that there are no cavalry. ”
"If there are cavalry, going down to kill for a while at this time can greatly delay the time for the other party to form a formation."
On Zhang Liao's side, three phalanxes had already been arranged.
Zhang Liao's part is in the center, Zhou Cang's part is on the left, and Huang Shao's part is on the right.
On both sides of the formation, there were rejected horses, some of which were carried by themselves, and some that had just been improvized.
The main thing was to prevent the enemy's cavalry, which suddenly charged from both sides.
Because he is high on a small hill, the people on Zhang Liao's side are watching Dong Zhuojun start to arrange troops, but they can't harass them.
When Dong Zhuojun's formation was arranged, the drum beat suddenly changed.
The infantry had already begun to move up the hillside.
As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Zhang Liao frowned and said to himself: "The Xiliang Army really lives up to its reputation. ”
Then he turned to look at the herald: "Go down, beat the drum!" ”
"Archer prepare!"
When the range was reached, Zhang Liao waved his hand: "Release the arrow!" ”
Zhang Liao gave an order.
The archer immediately lost the arrow in his hand and shot it.
In the first round of shooting, good results were obtained.
Zhang Liao looked around the battlefield.
The level of command of the enemy is clear at a glance.
The phalanx that attacked Zhou Cang's troops actually stopped advancing, and then shot at Zhou Cang's troops.
As a result, because of the slope problem, he lost hundreds of people in two consecutive rounds, and he didn't even shoot the hair of Zhou Cangbuqu.
After discovering the problem, he immediately ordered to charge.
Zhang Liao felt that Zhou Cang's side should not be a big problem.
Turned his head to look at Huang Shao.
On Huang Shao's side, Dong Zhuojun's Sima, played decently.
is still shooting at Huang Shao's part!
And Zhang Liao's own side, after Zhang Liao saw it, he was obviously stunned.
