Chapter 85: Yan Liang's Prancing Horse
Jizhou.
Yuan Shao of Bohai County had already realized that Xun Chen, the lobbyist he sent to Youzhou, was detained by Yanbei, and for two months, Xun Chen did not come back from Youzhou, obviously there was an accident. However, the current Yuan Shao can't care about Xun Chen, he is planning a big battle with Gongsun Zhan. If this battle is won, the entire territory of Qinghe County can be captured, and Gongsun Zhan will form a situation of northwest and southeast division in Jizhou.
After several years of boxing and kicking in Bohai, Yuan Shao has finally become a situation, taking charge of the three counties of Bohai, Hejian and Anping, and the territory of soldiers and horses is connected, and the west rejects Gongsun to attack Liu Bei in the south, and Cao Cao, a little brother in the southwest, who is in charge of several rich counties and counties in Jizhou, with thousands of soldiers and self-sufficient soldiers...... Only at this time did Yuan Shao dare to laugh out loud, saying that his connections finally had a place to use.
Since Yuan Shao left Luoyang, there are not many scholars in the Yingyin area, and even under the rule of Gongsun Zan and Han Fuzhou, there are scholars who communicate with him and express their admiration. But what was the use of this in the past? Only one county in Bohai was completely inferior in terms of troops, and was trampled under the feet of Gongsun Bogui and kept beating violently. No matter how many good people are in politics and how many strategists there are, there is no time for a fart to use!
But now it is different, with conspiracy and trickery, Yanbei of Youzhou was drawn into the war with Gongsun Chan to contain the strength of Gongsun Zhan's army, which made Yuan's pressure in the direction of Anping and Qinghe sharply reduced, and forced Gongsun Chan to shift his sphere of influence to the north, making Qinghe State empty. As long as the Qinghe Kingdom is taken, Bohai and Yanzhou will be able to communicate with each other, Wei County still has Han Fu's secret pass, and there is Youzhou Tiger Yanbei in the north waiting for an opportunity to bite Gongsun, what else can Bogui be the enemy of him Yuan Benchu?
Gongsun Zhan has a large number of soldiers and horses, but the talents are all some wine bags and rice bags, and the dignified general of Zhengdong is like a helpless rogue in terms of strategy, destroying wherever he goes, can such soldiers and horses last long?
Jizhou, sooner or later, it will be Yuan's!
As for Yanbei in Youzhou, there is no need to worry...... Even Jizhou, which has been poisoned by repeated wars, is far superior to the bitter cold Youzhou in terms of war potential, not to mention that most of the land bordering Youzhou is between the Taihang Mountains, and a Wuruan Pass can lock the main roads of Erzhou, and as long as you resist the possible attack of Yanbei for half a year after taking charge of the entire territory of Youzhou, Jizhou under full control can beat Yanbei's soil bun back to Liaodong's hometown!
Qinghe country, Guangchuan.
Gongsun Chan as early as last month to the brigade of soldiers and horses in the north, left behind in the Qinghe country is the general Zou Dan and a small general, the garrison of only 6,000 soldiers and horses, but ordered to guard the Qinghe country for three months, until the autumn harvest, will be collected all the grain to the northern counties, Qinghe country is considered to have completed the last journey under the rule of Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Zhan's means of occupying territory are very clever, he only needs to control the land in his own hands when the harvest is large, since it is not his forte to govern the place, then he will not govern.
But what he can target, Yuan Shao can also target.
Before the harvest, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses passed through Guangchuan County, stationed troops in Qinghe State, Liu Bei, who received the news, sent Zhang Fei to lead more than 1,000 cavalry to help, and Zou Dan sent his subordinate Colonel Yan Wen to lead 2,000 troops to guard the main road of Dongwu City, and personally stationed troops in Ganling to wait for work.
Yuan Shao sent the general Yan Liang as the vanguard, and personally led 6,000 soldiers and horses to collect the Qinghe State, and the general Wen Chou in the south guarded the direction of Qingzhou, and Chun Yuqiong stationed in Anping to guard Gongsun Zan in the west.
The war between Jizhou and Youzhou is completely different, Youzhou is long and narrow, and the war breaks out at one point, so that each battle will make both the enemy and us invest a large number of troops to form a battle. However, Jizhou has a vast land, and the battle front of hundreds or even thousands of miles long is in multiple directions caused by the accumulation of complex forces, so that the troops are scattered, and the battles between the two sides are mostly small battles...... Yuan Shao invested 6,000 soldiers and horses, which was already a rare huge force.
The Qinghe country is named after the Qing River that flows north and south in the territory, and at this time on the west bank of the Qing River, Yan Liang Prancing Horse gave an order, and the soldiers will cross the river. On the opposite bank of the southeast direction, Yan Wen, the son of the partial general Yan Gang, led a thousand troops to gallop in order to attack halfway, but Yan Liang knew the truth of the speed of the soldiers, and he had been hurrying for a moment since Guangchuan, and when Yan Wen arrived, half of the soldiers and horses had crossed the river, and seeing that an attack was about to become a dignified battle for the carriages and horses, Yan Wen hurriedly prepared the troops and horses to seize the hillside terrain.
Yan Liang rode his horse to the east, only to see the enemy's two curved spears like a forest army flag hunting, occupying a favorable terrain like a strong bow to lead but not fire, faintly with the momentum of a mountain, chuckling to the left and right: "It seems to be a young general!" ”
The youngsters who are starting to play usually pay attention to the formation and momentum, but they are less timid and dare not attack rashly. The veteran who has been in battle for a long time is good at controlling the timing, and is willing to send troops to test even if the battle formation is not set.
Just putting on a formation, Yan Wen was found out by Yan Liang, but Yan Liang didn't dare to hold it up, and looked at the momentum of the enemy formation and gave an order: "The enemy cavalry has many cavalry and a dense formation, which can be attacked." Qianqu traveled one hundred and fifty steps south, lured the enemy to attack, and then formed a fish scale formation, ready to charge the battle! ”
With Yan Liang's order, Qianqu slowly moved southward in a loose formation, revealing the Houqu behind him that was still assembling across the river, which was as if one of the two samurai was showing a flaw, anyone would be happy, and Yan Wen, who was always paying attention to the enemy on the hillside, was no exception, watching the enemy's formation move slowly and seemed to want to spread out his own defense with two curves, how could he let the enemy form a formation, and immediately ordered the cavalry to attack the back curve that was crossing the river, and the foot archers attacked the enemy in the south.
In this way, as long as the infantry archers can block the enemy for a while, and when the cavalry crushes the enemy soldiers and horses who are crossing the river, the two songs can be combined to defend and attack, and they can reap the full success!
In the sound of galloping horses' hooves, hundreds of cavalry rushed to the river bank, the two sides were only more than a thousand steps apart, but it was a very short distance for the cavalry on horseback, the well-trained knights opened their hard bows in the gallop and drew arrows and invoked them, and when they were a hundred paces apart from each other, they rushed into the river bank before they came ashore among the more than 100 soldiers, some riders didn't even have time to put away the hard bows, and they pulled out with their bow arms, and they turned over on their backs.
And when they crashed into the more than 100 formations, the foot soldiers on the hillside had only just walked down, and slowly ran towards the front curve where Yan Liang was with a strict formation. Yan Wen's idea was excellent, but he miscalculated the distance between Yan Liang's front and back songs, and even more so Yan Liang's narrowness.
Would such a narrow-minded person let more than 100 of his subordinates be slaughtered by cavalry?
Just as the cavalry began to charge at the 'bait' of more than 100 people, Yan Liang had already ordered Qianqu to prepare the fish scale formation used for the attack, turned the horse's head and rushed towards the chaotic cavalry one hundred and fifty paces away!
