Chapter 0105: Surprise Attack and Delaying Tactics
Suddenly, there were several muffled drums in the wind.
Zhang Baiqi frowned deeply, and turned his head to look in the direction of Ge Ting.
On the hill in front, the low bushes were densely packed, gently swaying in the mountain wind, like countless warriors lining up on the hill.
In the whistling of the mountain wind, there was a faint sound of a thick and low roar.
Zhang Baiqi glanced at his lieutenant Han Tong suspiciously.
Hancom is nervously looking around.
There are still seven or eight miles from the battlefield, how can the sound of the horn reach here?
Immediately afterwards, the white horse on which Zhang Bai rode suddenly became uneasy, and then raised his hooves and neighed. Zhang Baiqi's face changed greatly, and he shouted continuously: "Beat the drums, beat the drums, prepare for the battle......"
Han Tong immediately remembered the terrifying sound that came from the darkness on the night of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry Robbery Camp. Almost without thinking, he cried out: "Enemy attack, enemy attack......"
The soldiers who were running suddenly heard the sound of war drums in formation, and they were a little dazed. But then they heard the roar of their horses galloping and felt the ground shake beneath their feet. Needless to say, they also knew that it was the enemy who attacked, and they also had iron horses that everyone feared.
The Yellow Turban soldiers at the front were frightened, shouted, turned around and ran back. Under the command of the battle flag and the sound of drums, everyone did their best to quickly concentrate on the Chinese army. The fighters of the Chinese army spread out in formation on the spot. The soldiers of the rear army did not know what was happening in front of them, but when they saw the soldiers of the front army rushing back like a tide, they instinctively felt danger and blood. Everyone scrambled to speed up, aroused the last remaining strength in their bodies, and ran towards the Chinese army.
Dense formation, only dense formation can resist the charge of cavalry.
The soldiers were almost exhausted, and everyone was almost out of breath. But the fear of Youzhou Iron Rider in their hearts and the desire to survive made everyone roar hysterically and run, looking for the last ray of hope for themselves. The Yellow Turbans fell into chaos in order to reunite their positions. 20,000 people crowded on the plain below the hill, running from place to place, shouting and screaming, and making a mess.
The loud roar was getting louder and closer, and it was coming in an instant. Zhang Baiqi looked at his chaotic troops, dumbfounded, and looked desperate.
Fast. This was the second time he felt the speed of Youzhou Iron Ride.
It's so fast! His own soldiers had not yet gathered in the middle of the army and formed the most basic formation, and the sound of horses' hooves was already ringing in his ears like a raging storm.
He didn't expect that Yue Fei would be so bold that he would do his best to ambush him when he and Zhang Jiao were close at hand. Isn't he afraid that Zhang Jiao will come all the way and copy his back road? Could it be that the officers and soldiers have come to send reinforcements?
However, I have to say that Yue Fei's ruthlessness is exactly on his own vital point.
In order to achieve the purpose of Zhang Jiao's internal and external attack on the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, he led his troops on a long journey, and rushed all the way to Geting for more than 40 miles, but at this time the soldiers were exhausted, and the troops were already at the end of the crossbow.
At this moment, the Youzhou Iron Cavalry came out, and it was a must-kill.
Zhang Baiqi was angry from despair. He raised his long knife and roared: "Brothers, kill ...... Ah......h
Before the words fell, the huge horn suddenly rose from the hill to the sky, and the passionate and loud charging horn directly hit the bottom of everyone's heart on the battlefield, striking a heavy blow.
With a shocking bang, countless cavalry soldiers rushed out of the hills, rushed out of the woods, and rushed towards the chaotic enemy army, and the shouts of killing that went straight to the sky were deafening, covering everything on the battlefield.
………………
Zhang Jiao could hardly believe his eyes. He turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, but found that Xiao Yan's eyes were wider than his.
One of the enemy generals held a white flag high and galloped down the hill.
"Is Li Yi crazy?" Xiao Yan said loudly, "He actually sent someone to persuade him to surrender." ”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Jiao's mouth, and he said calmly: "Li Yi's movements were very fast and he ran in front of us. But you see on the hill, he only brought 10,000 people at most, including the army of Sun Zhan, the right Beiping Gongsun Zhan, who had been staying in the columns. Coupled with Yue Fei's 15,000 cavalry, this is basically all the troops that Li Yi can command in Wei County. ”
"We have 40,000 men, and even if he had iron cavalry, if he tried to defeat us through positional warfare, I am afraid that his troops would be killed and wounded." Zhang Jiao smiled coldly, "Okay." Since he wants to persuade him to surrender, let's talk to him. ”
"Great sage and good teacher, Li Yi must know that Zhang Baiqi, who is forty miles away, may come to support at any time, and the official army should attack in a hurry, how can there be spare time to talk to us here? Do they have some conspiracy? Xiao Yan looked at the white flag that was getting closer and closer, and said worriedly.
"They only have so many troops, no matter what kind of tricks he has great ability, he can conjure up any tricks." Zhang Jiao looked at the cavalry in the distance, and said very disdainfully, "Let's give him a plan, send someone to meet him, and drag it out for as long as it takes." As long as Zize arrives immediately, we will win this battle today. ”
"Whoa!" Xiao Yan hugged his fists and saluted, and said, "Great sage and good teacher, I should go over in person." ”
Zhang Jiao thought about it and nodded and agreed to Xiao Yan's request. The Yellow Turban Army is full of straight-hearted people, except for Xiao Yan, there is really no one who is good at this job.
Xiao Yan turned around and mounted his horse and greeted the enemy general who was galloping on his horse.
………………
The drums of war suddenly rang out from the sky, and the enemy troops in the distance beat the drums of preparing to attack.
Xiao Yan, who was negotiating with Tian Yu, was startled, looked at Tian Yu and said coldly: "What do you mean?" Want to sneak attack? ”
"Xiao Sima, Xiao Sima, a little restless, a little restless. Don't you know, the army of my lord is a new army that has just been collected, and the composition is very complicated, there are the remnants of the northern army of the imperial court, as well as the private soldiers of the powerful lords from all walks of life in Jizhou, all of them are a group of old soldiers, many of them are unruly, do not listen to orders at all, and it is difficult to discipline. Tian Yu hurriedly explained. He looked very anxious, but the evil smile on his face didn't show any kindness at first glance.
Xiao Yan ignored him, took a careful look at the enemy army in the distance, and after making sure that the opponent's army did not move, he turned around and continued: "You kid is not a good person at first glance, I said that your army is not fake, lie to us?" A fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, his hair hasn't grown yet. ”
When Tian Yu heard this, he said angrily: "Xiao Yan, don't be embarrassed. In ancient times, there were 12 Ganluo as the phase, what is the great thing about me being a soldier at the age of fourteen? How dare you despise me so much? My father-in-law was heartbroken that the Yellow Turban soldiers died innocently and unjustly, and he didn't want to kill more, so he kindly persuaded him to surrender. Are you looking for a fight? ”
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and said slowly, "I won't talk to you." As the saying goes, if you don't have a hair on your mouth, you can't do things firmly, you kid is too young, your qualifications are too poor, and there is no point in talking about it. Find someone who is similar to me and has a lot of weight to speak. For example, your father-in-law, General Li? ”
Tian Yu pursed his lips and said defiantly: "The lord said it, he doesn't want to talk about it." He's going to attack. ”
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart This is strange, what does Li Yi mean by this guy, since he is unwilling to negotiate, he still wants to send this kid over for Mao? Isn't that funny?
However, out of consideration for delaying time, he pretended to groan, and only said after a while: "Guan Yu or Zhang Fei can also do it." ”
Tian Yu laughed and said, "Okay." I'll go back and ask. ”
