- Xin Ping's strategy led Yuan Tan to send people to persuade his half-brother Yuan Xi to raise an army, successfully forcing Yuan Shang to retreat.
Now that his worries have been resolved, Yuan Tan was able to mobilize all his troops to rescue Xu Du, and with Xin Ping's advice, he set up such an indestructible iron formation. How could Yuan Tan be dissatisfied at this time?
And according to the reports from the scouts, Yan Liang's army was besieging Xudu, and Yanling's troops on the front line were less than 10,000. That's why Yuan Tan dared to mobilize his entire army and advance in a mighty manner.
Recalling the last Battle of Nanyang, the disastrous defeat in which his superior army was defeated by Yan Liang's ballistae, Yuan Tan at least remembered it fresh.
Now seeing that Yan Liang dared to fight him head-on with just a few thousand troops, Yuan Tan guessed that Yan Liang probably wanted to use his old tactics again.
"It's a pity, Yan Liang. Even your ballista can't penetrate this king's three-layered shield. If you want to repeat your old tricks, you will only be asking for trouble, hum~~"
The more Yuan Tan thought about it, the more proud he became, and the murderous intent on his face became stronger. Seeing that the time was almost up, he raised his hand and gave the order to prepare the entire army to attack.
The rumble of war drums soared into the sky, and a large formation of 30,000 people on foot and cavalry began to advance in an orderly manner towards the enemy formation a few hundred steps away.
Facing Yuan Jun¡¯s towering shield formation, the thousands of Yan Jiajun athletes all changed their colors slightly.
Even a veteran like Zhang He¡¯s face gradually became heavier.
"My lord, according to the last general's opinion, Yuan's army's formation is quite restrained against our army, and its strength is several times that of our army. Today's battle does not seem to be beneficial to our army."
Although he did not say it explicitly, the implication was that Yan Liang was considering withdrawing his troops.
Yan Liang only said lightly: "Junyi, you have been following me for some time. Do you think you will fight an uncertain battle?"
Yan Liang responded to Zhang He's hesitation with his strong confidence.
Zhang He looked shocked and thought that since his lord dared to fight with 6,000 troops against 30,000 Yuan troops and was so confident, could he have a strategy to defeat the enemy?
But seeing Yuan Jun's iron formation getting closer and closer, Zhang He really couldn't figure out what Yan Liang could do to defeat such an iron formation, and his confidence became even weaker.
Amidst the rumble of war drums. Yuan Jun has advanced to a hundred steps away.
At this time, Yan Liang raised his whip and said, "Where is Zhang Junyi?"
"The end will be here."
Zhang He responded with his hands, but suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, because from Yan Liang's tone, he felt that Yan Liang seemed to be taking the initiative to attack.
Yan Liang pointed his riding whip at the enemy formation. He said loudly: "I will give you three thousand cavalry to attack Yuan Jun."
You can hear this order. Zhang He was shocked. His premonition came true, and a shadow could not help but appear on his face.
Yuan¡¯s army was massive and its military formation was impeccable. Originally, six thousand soldiers and horses were forced to fight, but the odds of victory were already unpredictable.
But now, what shocked Zhang He was that Yan Liang not only did not intend to take a defensive position, but actually ordered himself to lead his army to attack on his own initiative. And with only three thousand soldiers and horses.
Three thousand against thirty thousand, this is not a fight between an egg and a stone. No matter how elite the Yan family's army is, there is no chance of victory with such a disparity in strength.
Such a military order is like asking Zhang He to die.
Looking at Yan Liang again, his expression was still calm and confident, and there was nothing wrong with him at all.
Zhang He was depressed, but the military orders were overwhelming. At this critical moment when the two armies were about to fight, how could he hesitate at all.
At that moment, Zhang He could only grit his teeth secretly, received the general's order, and flew away.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The horn sounded, and the red flag of the Chinese army waved. The signal to attack has been given.
Zhang He, who was in front of the prancing horse formation, took a deep breath, shouted loudly, brandished a long gun and marched out of the military formation with three thousand elite infantry and cavalry. With a bang, he followed Zhang He and attacked the oncoming Yuan army.
Seeing that Yan Jun was the first to launch an attack. Yuan Tan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
Looking at the few thousand enemies who were charging towards them like crazy, Yuan Tan's surprise was soon replaced by disdain and indifference.
"Thousands of people want to break through my king's iron formation. Yan Liang, you are really stunned by the defeat of Cao Cao. Do you think your soldiers are all heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals descending to earth?"
Yuan Tan snorted coldly, raised his whip and shouted: "The army has slowed down its advance. Let the crossbowmen release arrows to kill these thieves."
After the order was passed, the 30,000-strong Yuan army's formation slowed down its advance. Thousands of crossbowmen behind the halberdiers bent their bows and set arrows, and fired arrows at Yan's army, which was charging up a hundred steps away.
Like rain of arrows, the sky and the earth are covered.Come.
Although this ordinary crossbow is not as powerful as the Yuanrong Repeating Crossbow, which can instantly explode with astonishing lethality, relying on the numerical advantage, thousands of crossbowmen can fire in a volley, and the lethality is also terrifying.
Amidst the arrows coming from the locusts, athletes from the Yan family army kept falling on the charging road, and the screams could not be heard.
However, in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, none of these elite warriors who had fought hundreds of battles were afraid. They still held their shields high and charged against the rain of arrows at the risk of life and death.
There is also Zhang He. Although he questioned Yan Liang's order to attack forcefully, at this moment, he carried out Yan Liang's military order without hesitation, waving his spear to block the incoming arrows, and yelling at the soldiers to march forward bravely without fear of life and death. .
Looking at his own soldiers charging so bravely, Yan Liang was even relieved.
If an army like Liu Biao's was hit by such a dense rain of arrows, they would probably be defeated long ago, but this group of soldiers of my own could fight to the death and return home, worthy of being the Iron Army of the Yan family.
One hundred steps
Fifty steps
Thirty steps
Looking at it, Zhang He and the warriors he led were about to crash into the indestructible shield wall and the forest of halberds as dense as a forest.
A hand-to-hand battle with a huge disparity in numbers was about to begin. The Yan family officers and soldiers watching the battle were all sweating for their comrades in front. However, Yuan Tan from the Central Military Department had an increasingly proud face. He was ready to watch with interest how his own soldiers ravaged the enemy, and ready to enjoy this long-lost victory.
At a critical moment before the two armies clashed, Yan Liang's eyes suddenly condensed and he shouted: "Send the order and withdraw the troops!"
Ming Jin withdraws his troops? !
The generals on the left and right were immediately dumbfounded. They all looked at Yan Liang in surprise, thinking they heard wrongly.
Ma Yunlu beside him was surprised and said: "General, the two armies are fighting. If you withdraw your troops at this time, General Zhang will not be defeated."
"What I want is for him to be defeated." A trace of secrecy appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth, and he shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? You dare not disobey the general's order."
As soon as Yan Liang became powerful, all the generals were frightened and doubtful. But he didn't dare to hesitate any longer and immediately passed on the order.
Dang Dang Dang~~
In the blink of an eye, the rapid golden sound suddenly sounded.
Zhang He, who was charging, could not help but be shocked when he heard the sound of gold.
In front of you, Yuan Jun is dozens of steps away. If you turn around and retreat at this time. Yuan Jun took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill him, so he would definitely be defeated.
"Moreover, it wasn't just his three thousand men who were going to be defeated, Yuan's army was killing them all the way. The three thousand Chinese troops commanded by Yan Liang behind them will also be overwhelmed.
"What's wrong, my lord? How can you withdraw your troops at this time?"
Countless fears and thoughts flashed through Zhang He's mind, but they were all in vain.
Raise the drums to advance the troops, and raise the gold to withdraw the troops. This is an iron law in the army. Even if Zhang He had a hundred more objections, he would never dare to violate Yan Liang's iron law.
At that moment, Zhang He could only grit his teeth, reined in his horse, and shouted: "The whole army retreats, the whole army retreats immediately¡ª¡ª"
Amidst the loud shouts, Zhang He turned his horse's head and ran towards the main formation ahead of the three thousand Yan family troops who were also surprised. I can only watch the formation retreat in fear.
In the middle army, Yuan Tan, who was feeling proud of himself, couldn't help but look strange when he saw Yan Liang suddenly withdrawing his troops.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Tan was even more ecstatic. He shouted excitedly: "Withdraw the troops before the battle. Yan Liang, the thief, finally made a mistake. Send the order, and the whole army will withdraw for me to cover up the attack. The enemy army will be defeated in one fell swoop."
"Your Majesty, Yan Liang's move is rather suspicious. If our army rashly launches a formation to pursue us, what should we do if we fall into Yan Liang's trick of luring the enemy?"
Yuan Tan's blood was surging, but Xin Ping beside him remained calm and spoke out words to remind him urgently.
With a shock, Yuan Tan's frenzied mind immediately sobered up a bit.
He was very excited, but he dared not forget the scars of Yu Yanliang's previous tricks. After Xin Ping reminded him, Yuan Tan immediately realized that he should not be too impulsive.
After a moment's thought, Yuan Tan revised his order and ordered the entire army to continue the pursuit, but not to disrupt the formation.
Therefore, Yuan's army of 30,000 men maintained their formation and only accelerated their pace to pursue Yan's army.
Without forming a formation to pursue, Zhang He and his thousands of soldiers and horses were lucky enough to escape being killed by Yuan's army.
"Yuan Tan, this boy, really has a long memory. It's very good. It also saves me from losing soldiers."
Yan Liang sneered, Yuan Jun¡¯sEvery move he made seemed to be within his expectation.
Seeing that Zhang He's troops had opened the distance from Yuan Jun, Yan Liang saw that the opportunity was close, so he also mobilized his horse and led his troops to withdraw south.
Yan Liang led his "defeated army" and simply abandoned Yanling City and rushed directly to Huoshui a few miles south of the city.
This Huishui is not a big river. In the summer, you can barely row a boat. Now in the middle of winter, the water in the river has dropped sharply, and the water is only as deep as your knees.
The six thousand "defeated troops" did not care about the cold winter, so they waded across the river and escaped in confusion.
As soon as Yan Liang passed by, Yuan Tan led his army to pursue him.
With the river blocking the road in front of him, Yuan Tan suddenly realized what he was up to, thinking that Yan Liang was a thief. It turned out that he wanted to lure him to at least attack him halfway across the river.
Under Yuan Tan's ridicule, he ordered his scouts to explore the depth of the water. When he learned that the water was only as deep as the water cover, all Yuan Tan's wariness disappeared.
"It's a joke that such shallow water wants to block the path of my army. Send the order, and the whole army will wade across the river and continue the pursuit."
Under Yuan Tan¡¯s order, 30,000 Yuan¡¯s troops rolled up their trouser legs and headed for the other side.
Even when wading into the water, Yuan Tan maintained his formation at all times, leaving no chance for Yan Liang to slip through.
Hundreds of steps away, Yan Liang stood on a small slope, looking at Yuan Jun who was crossing the river from a distance, with a sarcastic sneer quietly showing on his stern face.
Seeing that Yuan Jun was nearly halfway across the river, Yan Liang raised his whip and said loudly: "It's almost time, light the smoke and send a signal to Xu Yuanzhi." - Didn't finish reading?
