Chapter 217: Defeat is like a mountain


Seeing that the enemy army really retreated, Gongsun Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at the generals behind him: "Yuan Shao really lived up to expectations, haha" The key to this battle lies in whether Yuan Shao is willing to withdraw from the army Yuan Shao didn't know what his retreat meant, but Gongsun Bai and Guo Jia knew that Yuan Shao's retreat, the war between Gongsun and Yuan, which had lasted for several years, was finally coming to an end.

Gongsun Baiken made a desperate gamble and threw all his strength into the success of the first war because someone in history tried to do so; Yuan Shao was so willing to "retreat from the division" because he wanted to take advantage of the fact that his army could not cross the river quickly, and returned to the division to attack him.

For example, Yuan Shao's army, which numbered more than 200,000 people, was like a huge monster that was bloated and difficult to command its limbs, not to mention a hundred steps back, any step back would involve more than 200,000 people, and the chaos could be imagined.

At the same time, the enemy's formation adopts a dense defensive position in the style of glaive, and the defense is invulnerable, and the attack can be orderly, but if you turn around and go back, it will not only be difficult to coordinate, but also will loosen and destroy the original tight formation system.

Of course, Yuan Shao would not think so, and would think that Gongsun Bai would wait for them to rearrange their formation before crossing the river for a decisive battle.

Now that the initiative is absolutely in the hands of Gongsun Bai, Gongsun Bai is confident that he will give the order to cross the river and attack at the most appropriate moment, and that his 18,000 elite cavalry can defeat the 200,000 rebellious army at lightning speed.

Gongsun Bai stared at the enemy formation, the enemy's horn sounded, and the cavalry in the enemy's rear began to retreat, due to the large number of enemy troops, the three farthest troops were a mile away from the front line. , because the distance is too far.

I couldn't hear the conversation between him and Yuan Shao clearly, and received an order to retreat a hundred steps.

I must be confused and confused.

Wen Chou on the other side left Yuan Shao, who was in the banner at this time, and led more than a dozen personal soldiers to gallop to the front line, galloping back and forth, and loudly ordered the 30,000 shield archers commanded by Yan Liang on the front line to stay in place until he gave an order, and he could retreat.

Yan Liang looked solemn and silent, you can imagine the nervousness of his mood.

At this time, the entire rear of the enemy began to turn around and retreat.

The momentum spread to the Chinese army, and the original impregnable position has disappeared.

Zhao Yun was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, and he took two quick breaths and said, "When to attack?"

Gongsun Baiyou said: "When Yuan Shao's main flag moves, it is the moment when we wave our army across the river and defeat the enemy." ” Zhang He watched Wen Chou gallop back from the other side of the front line, and at the forefront of the enemy formation with his own soldiers, only more than ten steps away from Yan Liang, he was staring at his own side. worried: "If the opponent's shield archers are still holding the front line, with the strength of the enemy's rhubarb crossbows, we may not be able to break through their defenses, even if we successfully cross the river."

I'm afraid there will also be heavy losses. ” Gongsun Bai said lightly: "Before the enemy reorganizes the formation, the army's morale is in chaos, and our horse is fast.

The land of a hundred steps was reached in an instant, and they had a large yellow crossbow.

We also have it, and our cavalry is condescending.

They can be suppressed, and their shield archers lack rear support, and they can break through with a rush, and if they are defeated, the opponent will be unable to return to the sky.

As long as Yan Liang is here, the enemy army will be defeated."

Zhao Yundao: "Yuan Shao moved" Gongsun Bai also saw Yuan Shao's banner move, and the cavalry teams on both sides were left and right, turning around and retreating.

The entire front line also moved, including the cavalry on the left and right flanks, and the queue that Yuan Shao had spent half an hour arranging was instantly chaotic.

The 30,000 shield archers, Wen Chou, and Yan Liang still stayed on the front line, and they were willing to retreat when everything was in order.

In such a situation, the infantry, of course, was more flexible than the cavalry.

Gongsun Bai shouted: "Drumming" Knock knock Dozens of big drums spread in front of them, under the hammer of dozens of wrestlers, the rhythm is the same, and the sound of the drums immediately resounded to the sky, spreading to every corner of the battlefield.

Most of the people in the enemy team, including Yuan Shao and others, were startled by the drumming and looked back one after another, and hundreds of war horses jumped in surprise, and the situation turned chaotic.

"Kill" Gongsun Bai raised the dragon spear in his hand, the blade of the spear shining in the sun, and shouted: "Sons, follow me to kill the enemy and win." ” "Kill Before the words fell, Zhao Yun took the lead, led the rush down the Heitan River, stepped on the low and shallow riverbed in the river, and killed the opposite bank.

Tai Shi Ci and Guan Hai led the two teams of cavalry on the left and right flanks, and they did not hesitate to rush down the water and wade away like two angry dragons.

The enemy's retreating army lost its square inch for a while, and did not know whether to turn around to meet the enemy or continue to retreat, and Yuan Shao also suddenly lost his command, all because the sound of the trumpet was all covered by the enemy's drums.

For a moment, the sound of hooves was deafening, the river was splashing, and although Wen Chou shouted loudly for the archers to bend their bows and arrows to meet the enemy, his shouts only became a faint cry in the drums.

The morale of the Hebei army is in turmoil When the light cavalry of the Gongsun army crossed the river in three ways, because the river was low, the shield archers deployed on the front line of the Hebei army were 100 paces from the shore, and the angle could only see the enemy's helmet, and it was not easy to aim, and the drum sound was deafening, and the square inch was confused for a while, only some of them blindly fired arrows, all of which were blocked by the enemy's shields.

Wen Chou was on his horse, and when he saw that the enemy army was surging like a tide of rage, and his own rear army was out of formation, he shouted that it was not good, raised his spear, and shouted forward, but the drums completely overshadowed his shouts.

When he turned to release the arrows, hundreds of powerful arrows had been shot from the river like a torrential rain, and they were thrown into their own formation, and dozens of people were shot down when they landed, and the strong front formation immediately became chaotic.

Zhao Yun took the lead, jumped onto the shore, and shouted: "Yuan Shao is defeated" You must know that the Hebei army on the front line is only 100 steps offshore, and at the speed of cavalry, it can enter the formation in the blink of an eye, and the Qin soldiers can only shoot two more arrows at most.

The appearance of Zhao Yun provoked everyone to fire at him, but he didn't know that Gongsun Bai's left shield and right sword, shield and horse sword to protect people, just that arrow block away, majestic to the extreme.

The three cavalry marched on the south bank of the Black Beach River on the street at the same time, killing the enemy like wolves.

The retreating Hebei army was in chaos, some turned around to face the battle, and some continued to retreat.

Yuan Shao and the generals saw that each other came so quickly. also knew the plan, and hurriedly turned the horse's head.

Drink ordered the surrounding subordinates to turn around and counterattack, but unfortunately they were no longer in formation.

The team does not form a team, and even more chaos is formed.

There are more than 200,000 troops, but they cannot exert the power they should have.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Chou, who was at the forefront, shouted: "Draw out your blade and prepare to fight." ” The infantry saw that Bai Ma Yi in the mighty north was always menacing, and their eyes were messy in the phantom like clouds and snow, and when they didn't know whether to fight or retreat, Yan Liang saw that it was the right time, and also shouted: "The army has been defeated.

Rapid retreat" After speaking, he led his subordinates and generals, turned around and left.

You must know that although Yan Liang was degraded, his reputation in the Hebei army was almost unmatched, and the Hebei army on the left and right didn't know what was going on, seeing Yan Liang turn around and leave, he immediately followed.

Seeing this, Wen Chou didn't know that Yan Liang was a traitor and a spy.

Suddenly took the bow in his hand, quickly wound the arrow, and was about to shoot away at Yan Liang's back, but at the moment when he was about to loosen the string.

But he suddenly hesitated, and the three-stone big bow was finally raised a few points and shot high into the air.

Brother of righteousness for many years.

He couldn't do it after all With a "boom", a powerful arrow was fired from the enemy.

Shot into Wen Chou's left shoulder, causing him to lose his longbow in pain.

Turning his head to look, he saw that Zhao Yun was rushing towards him, and the longbow in his hand was hung back on the side of the horse, and he already knew that not only did he lose this battle, but the Hebei army was also finished.

Wen Chou sighed, turned his horse's head, and kept up with the chaotic army.

Seeing that Yan Liang kept shouting that "the army has been defeated" and that the enemy had been killed in the front, they threw away their bows and blades and fled westward, scattering the army that was about to turn back and fight back.

Yuan Shao of the rear army was furious and shouted: "Attack, all attack, and those who kill thieves will be rewarded."

After saying that, with a face as red as blood, Tima rushed up, panting and carrying the big flag and just ran back, and the flag bearer who had just taken a breath heard the commander's order, and hurriedly opened the big flag, swirled and waved, ordered the three armies to attack, and then spread his legs and chased after Yuan Shao's horse buttocks and ran forward.

"Brother, I'll help you carry it for a while" Guo Xu smiled at the standard-bearer, and without waiting for an answer, he hung up his saber and snatched the handsome flag from the standard-bearer's hand.

"Thank you, Brother Junhong, you don't know the flag language, follow me closely, when the lord has an order, you have to announce the three armies at any time."

"Okay" Guo Xu responded with a smile, picked up the banner and ran.

Last night, he had done his hand and foot to the flag, and now all he had to do was to let the place where he had moved his hands and feet work, and as he ran, he had removed the brass hoops on the flagpole without a trace.

"Gao Gan and Ma Yan led the cavalry to intercept the enemy's left flank cavalry Jiang Qi and Han Luzi to charge the car formation, stuck the enemy's middle Li Fu and Xi Yuanjin led the crossbowmen to shoot the rest of the generals on the enemy's right flank, immediately reorganize the queue, and kill the enemy with me" Yuan Shao ordered angrily.

The standard-bearer heard Li Jinglong's command, and immediately snatched the big flag from Guo Xu's hand and waved it, the big flag hunting, the wind was chilling, the flag-bearers of the Ming army battalions were staring at the flag from the Chinese army, and the handsome flag with the word "Yuan" "clicked" and broke The big flag is very immoral, close to the root of the flag, if it is only broken by a small section, and then it is erected, but it is broken into such a short section, who can see it when it is raised The flag-bearers of all battalions of the Hebei Army were stunned, what does it mean to put down the handsome flag One is surrender, and the other is the death of the commander It is impossible for the lord to surrender at this time, that is, the boss died in battle This is not impossible, the arrows are flying all over the sky, and the coach is not blessed by the gods and Buddhas, if he is unlucky, he will be hit by an arrow After waiting for a while, the commander's battalion still did not erect the commander's flag, and the flag-bearers of each battalion were depressed and at a loss.

The 200,000 army can't hear it even if it shouts through its throat, and it all depends on the flag language.

In fact, they don't need to play the flag, other flag languages may be more complicated, ordinary soldiers can't understand it, but the handsome flag is down, who doesn't understand what it means When the Ming army boarded, there was a commotion, hundreds of thousands of troops, even if it was just one person gasped, and the convergence was an earth-shattering thunderclap.

Yan Liang, who shouted "our army is defeated" all the way, was leading a dry shield archer to flee for his life, and suddenly heard a strange movement in the camp in front of him, Ding Qing looked, Yuan Shao's banner was gone, Yan Liang was slightly stunned at first, and then knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and immediately shouted: "The lord died in battle, our army was defeated, and our army was defeated" The Hebei army, which was originally in turmoil, saw the unexplained retreat of their own military horses, and was between suspicion and panic, when the people's hearts were extremely unstable, the military horses in front heard Yan Liang's thunderous shout, and they had the courage to turn around and flee.

This kind of thing will be contagious like a plague, although the generals of the Hebei Army reacted quickly, took deserters to open the knife, quickly killed many people, and stopped the stupidity of the whole army, but the unparalleled white horse righteous servant in the world, and the other two Youzhou elite horsemen, have been like a fierce beast, surging forward.

Under such a chaotic scene, even if there were 200,000 foot soldiers, how could a group of Wuhe withstand the roaring impact of nearly 20,000 cavalry The Hebei army originally recruited more than half of the people, in the panic there was no fighting spirit, as soon as it was crushed, the original intention to flee suddenly turned into action, this defeat, like the collapse of Mount Tai, no one can stop it.
