Chapter 92 Small Victory in the First Battle(1/2)
If our Mei Zhoulang is determined to flatter anyone, then I am afraid that our Deputy Director Tao will feel sorry for himself. No, during the ceremony of Xiao Yuan Sangong to pay homage to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the two disharmonious elements, Mei Zhoulang
Zhou Lang came up with a very beautiful new trick, instructing his accomplices to stuff a piece of silk into a big fish, with six words written in cinnabar on it - If the Han Dynasty dies, Emperor Zhongshi! - This idiot-like country
As his son-in-law, Mizuro didn't know how many times he had heard Little Yuan Sangong recite it.
Then naturally, the fish appeared in little Yuan Sangong's kitchen. When the cook found out, he didn't dare to hide it, and immediately sent the alchemy book to little Yuan Sangong. Little Yuan Sangong almost went crazy wanting to be the emperor.
Of course he was overjoyed when he saw it, insisting that this was an auspicious sign from heaven that he wanted to proclaim the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty. If it were not for the stubborn obstruction and lack of preparation by his subordinates, civil servants, little Yuan Sangong almost held the coronation ceremony at the place where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang organized people who did not know the truth to cause trouble.
Mizhoulang also took the opportunity to suggest that Young Master Yuan hold another seven-day ceremony to thank heaven for his kindness. Young Master Yuan did not think much and immediately agreed. He only sent 20,000 additional troops to Qiao Rui to fight with Xuzhou.
After the military confrontation, all the energy was concentrated on the so-called heaven-sacrifice ceremony of Shen Shen Nao Nao, and the previously finalized rapid combat plan was completely ruined.
Little Yuan Sangong was happily offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in Daze Township, sixty miles away, but Deputy Director Tao, who was not stable enough in the rear, was scolding his mother on the Zhuyi battlefield because Qiao Rui, the wise general of Yuan Shu's army, arrived with his army.
After crossing the south bank of Suishui River, they ignored the provocations of the Xuzhou army and immediately started civil engineering work. They worked day and night in the Gaohuang Mountain area, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and built three strong camps, dug two surrounding trenches, and
They set up a large number of anti-horse antlers and assumed a posture of long-term fighting. Tao Ying sent troops several times to challenge the battle, but Qiao Rui ignored them and only used strong bows and crossbows to guard the fence. He also repelled a test by the Xuzhou army.
Sexual attack.
Xiao Yuan Sangong, who has always bullied the weak and feared the strong, led the main force to stay put in Daze Township, sixty miles away. The forward Qiao Rui was working hard to overhaul the fortifications on the south bank of Suishui River, showing signs of a long-term war. The treacherous and suspicious Deputy Director Tao was inevitably both jealous and suspicious, so he hurriedly
A spy was sent to Daze Township to spy on the enemy. When the spy reported back that it was young Yuan Sangong who was playing tricks on the gods and gods in Daze Township, Tao Ying, Lu Su, Chen Gui and others inevitably looked at each other. They couldn't understand how Xiao Yuan Sangong could do this.
Thinking of holding a heaven-sacrifice ceremony in Daze Township where birds do not lay eggs? But there was nothing to do for a while. There was no way to drag little Yuan Sangong to the Zhuyi battlefield for a decisive battle.
"Lord, let's use a trick to surrender." Chen Gui, an old fox from Xuzhou who accompanied the expedition, suggested: "I have been an old friend of Yuan Gongdao since we were young, and we often exchange letters with him. If I pretend to surrender, I will definitely be able to lure Yuan Shu to come for a decisive battle."
Tao Ying was a little tempted, but after thinking about it carefully, Tao Ying still shook his head and refused, saying: "If Duke Yu of Han comes forward to pretend to surrender, Yuan Shu will definitely fall into the trap. But asking Duke Yu of Han to come forward to pretend to surrender now will only serve a small purpose and miss the mark."
This is a great opportunity to decide the outcome in one battle. It is better to wait patiently. When Yuan Shu’s main force arrives on the battlefield, it will not be too late to use this strategy when the time is right.”
Chen Gui was not angry when his suggestion was not adopted. He just agreed with a smile. However, Deputy Director Tao waited for more than ten days this time. By noon on the twelfth day, news of the battle between the divisions had already come from Xiangxian County.
Yuan Sangong led the main force of his headquarters to arrive belatedly, and set up camp in the Gaohuang Mountain camp where temporary fortifications were built to protect the bridge. The main army and grain and grass were all moved into the Gaohuang Mountain camp, and only about
A partial division of 10,000 was camped on the south bank of the Suishui River, confronting Deputy Director Tao across the river, and providing a buffer and protection for the main force of Yuan Shu's army.
Faced with the prudent tactics of Yuan Shu's army, Deputy Director Tao naturally scolded him secretly. Little did he know that our little Yuan Sangong was also scolding Qiao Rui for being cowardly, accusing Qiao Rui of not following orders to camp on the south bank of Suishui River, and why he wasted his military power to build such a camp on the mountain.
A large fortified camp - For Xiao Yuan Sangong, who believed that his army could defeat Tao in one battle, such a strong camp was indeed a waste. Rui felt extremely aggrieved and could not explain it. Only when Zhou Yu told Xiao Yuan Sangong that it was Qiao Rui
It was because this mountain was called Gaohuang Mountain that Little Yuan Sangong chose to set up camp here. Little Yuan Sangong then turned his anger into joy and let Qiao Rui go without obeying his orders.
The camp was firmly established and Xiao Yuan Sangong, who was eager for revenge, of course couldn't wait to order the army to attack and go to the Suishui River to fight to the death with the Xuzhou army. Most of the civil and military officers of Yuan Shu's army opposed it, believing that his army should first establish a stable camp and find out the enemy's situation, and then proceed
It was not too late for the decisive battle. Only the flatterers Yang Hong and Zhou Yu raised their hands in agreement. They felt that Yuan Sangong's troops were sharp and their morale was extremely high. At this time, when sending troops, the soldiers must compete first. One of them was ten, and they defeated the enemy. Yuan Sangong greatly admired Yang Hong and Zhou Yu.
However, he did not listen to what others said, and immediately raised his troops to leave the camp and go to Suishui for a decisive battle with the Xuzhou army.
"Gong Jin, are you crazy?" As soon as he left the tent, Ji Ling immediately picked up Zhou Yu's collar, lowered his voice and roared: "Our army came from afar and has not yet established a stable footing. Tao Ying's son arrived at the battlefield before our army.
, I must have made all preparations, what are the chances of winning by sending troops now?"
"What the general said is absolutely true. It is indeed more dangerous than sending troops at this time." Zhou Yu replied in a low voice calmly: "But a small defeat now is far better than a big defeat in the future. It's not like you don't know my lord's character clearly.
, what he has decided to do, who can persuade him to come back now? Instead of angering the lord, it is better to temporarily comply with the lord's wishes. After a small setback in the battle, the lord will be able to calm down, and it will be easier to persuade the lord to act cautiously.
too much."
Ji Ling suddenly realized, he quickly let go of Zhou Yu and apologized to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu smiled and said it didn't matter, and muttered viciously in his heart, "Tao Ying, my son, you are outnumbered. Let me see if you have the guts to fake defeat in the first battle."
Lure the enemy, shake your military morale, and drain your morale!"
After a while, Xiao Yuan Sangong personally led the army to the bank of Suishui River. When he took a closer look to the north, as expected by the civil and military officers of Yuan Shu's army, the Xuzhou army had indeed built a large number of defense fortifications on the north bank of Suishui River, relying on Suishui River to deploy defenses.
, tightly strangled Yuan Shu's army's northward march, and all the battalions and villages were in dangerous places, making it very difficult to attack head-on. Seeing this, little Yuan Sangong, who had been dazzled by the ambition to become emperor, finally calmed down a little.
.Knowing that this battle will definitely not be as easy to fight as he expected, Tao Ying, the Huangkou child, is not as easy to deal with as he imagined.
After all, Xiao Yuan Sangong is also a person who has won some battles. Although these victories were achieved by novices such as Zhou Zhe, Zhou Ang, Lu Kang and Liu Yao, he has also accumulated a lot of battlefield experience.
From experience, little Yuan Sangong can still tell a little bit about the strength and weakness of the enemy on the opposite side.
At this time, Tao Ying, who had received the news, had personally led his army to fight. The two armies set up a battle formation across the water. Xiao Yuan Sangong urged the eight-horse chariot and two rows of dragon and phoenix banners made by Yue Yue. He led the generals to Suishui.
In the south of the bridge, he pointed at Tao Ying on the north bank with the more arrogant golden sword in his hand and cursed, "Young man with a yellow mouth is like a viper. He dared to dig up the Huaihe River embankment and flood our soldiers. Now I am alone and leading my heavenly troops here. If you don't get off your horse quickly,
Surrender, how long will it take?!"
Tao Ying also led his generals to ride horses to the north of the bridge. He pointed his riding whip at Yuan Shu and cursed, "Shameless old man, invading my land in Xuzhou is not counted, but returning my jade seal. I ask you, I want you to donate the sacred biography of the Holy Emperor."
Why has the national jade seal not yet been sent to the emperor? What kind of face do you, a shameless man who has no integrity, no sense of shame, and transgression, have been born between heaven and earth? I am ashamed for your mother → A pig could have given birth to you more than you.
powerful!"
"Child——!" Little Yuan Sangong, who was extremely proud of his origin, was furious and yelled: "Who can capture Tao Ying's son?"
"The last general is willing to go!" General Le immediately rode out of the battle, raised his gun and climbed onto the bridge, shouting, "Tao Ying, my son, die!"
Before Lejiu finished speaking, "Xu Chu, who had almost no chance of fighting a general after joining Tao Ying's command, had already rushed out with his sword and met Lejiu on the bridge. Lejiu came to stab him with his spear, but Xu Chu grabbed the barrel of the gun with his left hand.
The broadsword in his right hand slashed out, hitting Lejiu's neck, and cut off poor General Lejiu's head and shoulders. Then Xu Chu roared: "Who else dares to come and die? If the Gentlemen's Army does not go into battle today, come here and let me kill one of them.
happy!"
"Do it!" Tao Ji from behind cursed with the curse words he learned from his second brother. He was very depressed that the Xuzhou army's battlefield was chosen by the Suishui River. As a result, the three powerful generals of the Junzi Army, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, all
Without being able to play, the Junzi Army's special fighting skills are of no use - this is also a good thing that all the generals under Xiao Yuan Sangong should be thankful for.
Lejiu, who ranked first in martial arts in Yuan Shu's army, was killed by Xu Chu after just one fight. Of course, all the generals under the command of Little Yuan Sangong were frightened. Ji Ling and Qiao Rui, who were brave enough, also changed their faces, knowing that this big man on the bridge
The fat man was by no means invincible by himself, and Zhou Yu turned pale, secretly cursing God for his lack of eyesight. How could Tao Ying have such a strong general under his command? - Isn't this a help to others?
"Father Yuan Shu, suffer death!" Seeing that no one came forward to fight, Xu Chu simply raised his sword and slapped the horse, and went straight to kill Little Yuan Sangong on the large golden chariot. Little Yuan Sangong was so frightened that he quickly urged the generals to come forward to fight, but he was
Xu Chu, who was almost holding back his internal injuries, stabbed two Yuan Jun generals one after another. The third Yuan Shu Jun general saw Xu Chu's action and drew his gun to stab Xu Chu in the back.
The unlucky Yuan Shujun generals were picked up and flew into the Suishui River screaming. The remaining Yuan Shujun generals were all in disarray and did not dare to go forward to die. Xu Chu rushed with his horse again, causing waves everywhere he went.
The waves were breaking, but no one dared to challenge him. They watched helplessly as Xu Chu rushed in front of Xiao Yuansan's bus. Xiao Yuan Sangong screamed and jumped out of the car and fled on foot.
"Where are you going?"
Xu Chu rode fast and caught up with Little Yuan Sangong in a blink of an eye. When he was about to slash with his sword, Zhou Yu rushed over and stabbed Xu Chu with his gun with red eyes. Zhou Yu was also anxious. If Little Yuan Sangong was killed by Xu Chu, then he would
All the efforts of Xiao Yuan Sangong to avenge his gay friends were all in vain, so even though he knew that his force was not as strong as Xu Chu's, Zhou Yu still rushed forward regardless of his own safety. But the result was not as expected, Xu Chu only slashed Zhou Yu's gun barrel with one knife
, just relying on the brute force of holding the ox backwards, Zhou Yu's tiger's mouth was cracked, and Zhou Yu's iron spear flew out in the air, but Zhou Yu refused to give up, and rushed forward again, hugging Xu Chu's waist tightly with both hands.
, yelling, "Father-in-law, leave quickly!"
"A common man!" Xu Chu was furious when he saw that he had a chance to capture Little Yuan Sangong in one fight. He hit Zhou Yu on the back with his elbow before he could put away his knife. Two of Zhou Yu's ribs were broken on the spot and blood spurted out of his mouth. However, Zhou Yu still hugged him.
He held onto Xu Chu and just yelled, "Father-in-law! Go quickly! Go quickly—!"
"What a good son-in-law." He sighed. Little Yuan Sangong ran away faster than a rabbit. Ji Ling and Qiao Rui finally rushed over, one wielding a three-pointed two-edged sword and the other a spear. They both came to stab Xu Chu, and also
Two generals, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, rushed towards him with blood-red eyes. When Xu Chu was forced to fight Ji Ling and Qiao Rui, Zhou Yu, who was seriously injured, also fell to the ground. As a result, Huang Gai waved his iron whip and attacked Xu Chu again. Cheng Pu
Then he abandoned his horse and walked, picked up Zhou Yu and ran away.
At the same time, Deputy Director Tao had two more capable generals, Chen Dao and Zang Ba, who had already come to kill them. Although if Marquis Lu Wen's strength was one hundred, Chen Dao and Zang Ba's were only over eighty, but
Today happens to be a blue world. The quality of the generals under Xiao Yuan Sangong is three points worse than that of Deputy Director Tao. Except for the four generals Ji Qiao and Cheng Huang who have been entangled by Xu Chu, there are no more generals.
No general's strength can exceed eighty, and there are many people who were knocked over by the two steel spears of Zang Ba and Chen Dao. When the two generals rushed to Xu Chu's side to help, Ji Ling, Qiao Rui and Huang Gai immediately
They couldn't stand it anymore, so they could only turn around and run away. In the past, the Xuzhou army basically relied on the gentlemen's army to fight against the evil generals. For the first time, it had the absolute upper hand in the fair battle between the generals.
The thunderous war drums beat, and the infantry of the Xuzhou Army, with the Langya Army as the main force, shouted and charged across the river from the stone bridge and four temporary pontoons. They attacked the enemy with great momentum, while Xiao Yuan Sangong's team was completely in chaos.
Defeated and fled, the men and horses trampled on each other while galloping, and countless people died. The state army took advantage of the situation and killed the mob of young Yuan Sangong until their horses were turned upside down and blood flowed into the river. They even kicked down the partial division camp on the south bank of the Suishui River.
Little Yuan Sangong also had no intention of restraining the army and led his army to flee directly to the Gaohuang Mountain camp.
It was also at this time that the Gaohuangshan camp, which had been scolded so much by Xiao Yuan Sangong, finally played a key role. With temporary fortifications and strong bows and crossbows, the condescending camp defenders blocked the charge of the Xuzhou army.
, covered the friendly troops' escape route back to the camp, and Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Huang Gai and other loyal generals fought hard to stay behind and covered the friendly troops' retreat, so Xiao Yuan Sangong's team finally escaped back to the camp, closed the camp door and relied on
The fortifications were defended, and the Xuzhou army finally prevented the Gaohuangshan camp from being defeated.
In this battle, the second-rate Xuzhou army completely defeated the quasi-second-rate army of Xiao Yuan Sangong. They beheaded more than 3,000 soldiers, killed more than 20 enemy generals, captured a camp, captured more than 4,000 prisoners, and seized countless money, food, and horses.
, and also seized Xiao Yuan Sangong's nondescript and luxurious Luan Yu. But when the news of the victory came to Tao Ying, Tao Ying not only did not look excited at all, but also said with a wry smile: "The attack was too heavy. I'm afraid it will be more difficult to win quickly this time. This
Zhongkang, you will really cause trouble for me."
"Second brother, General Xu Chu is so powerful, why do you still say that he caused trouble for you?" Tao Ji, who was not able to participate in the battle, asked curiously.
"You don't understand. Our goal is to win a quick victory and strive to defeat the enemy's main elite force as soon as possible and force Yuan Shu to withdraw." Tao Ying replied with a wry smile: "So although Zhong Kang's performance today is powerful, he is so powerful.
It was both excessive and insufficient. It was excessive in that it frightened old man Yuan Shu, but it was insufficient in that it did not completely defeat the enemy's main force in one go, leaving the enemy with enough energy to fight again. Next time we fight, we must defeat the enemy with a weak force.
If you face the enemy head-on, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky if you want to defeat the enemy quickly."
………………
Deputy Director Tao seemed to have overestimated Xiao Yuan Sangong's determination to fight in a bloody battle. At this time, in the Gaohuangshan camp, it was difficult for the Xuzhou army to attack the camp and was forced to withdraw. The frightened Xiao Yuan Sangong finally relaxed.
When he took a breath, he couldn't help but said to the generals: "I didn't expect that Tao Ying'er's army was so strong. It was ten times better than our old enemy Liu Yao. Now our army has been defeated, its morale has been depressed, and our soldiers have no fighting spirit. We
I want to withdraw the troops to force them to the edge, reorganize the troops and come back for revenge in the future, what do you think?"
