Section 114
Chapter 114
"Report to General! The enemy has crossed the Wei River and has formed a formation on the other side!" The news of a spy's return surprised and happy.
What was shocked was that the enemy was not leaving anymore. The 20,000 pursuers were really tired. If it weren't for the angry second young master, I would probably not have led the infantry to chase the enemy that had been set out for five days.
But the opponent has so many cars and battles, and he guards the river. He doesn't have many bows and arrows. Even if he wins, the losses will be great enough?
But Yuan Xi said that if he didn't take Zhang Feng's head, he would take his own head, and he would bite his teeth. Besides, he had already notified Dunqiu, Li Yang, and Fan Yang's defenders to surround him. Even if he was a turtle, he would slowly chew it to death with bites!
"The whole army follows, the enemy is not far away. If we defeat them, we can have a good sleep!"
What are gold, silver and treasures, and what are beautiful officials? At this moment, the soldiers under Chunyu Qiong's hearts are not as cute as a pillow. The nine or ten days of marching in a row, and only seven or eight hours had they slept. The iron man was soft, let alone the living flesh and blood body!
While cursing from the bottom of their hearts, everyone was unable to sleep well for many days, they pressed their dark circles of eyes, like honest giant pandas, staggering with their swollen legs like radishes, and staggered as if they were shaking ducks and rushing forward.
The Wei River has been the same for thousands of years. It flows from north to south without any rushing or slowing down, and the widest place is only five meters. However, even if you ride a horse across the river, it can at least wet the horse's belly.
More than a hundred carriages were all out of the shaft, each two were connected sideways, one of which was closely adjacent to the Wei River, and a long row of carriage arrays lined up along the riverside, with only one horse passing between each carriage, and then the side of the carriage array that was not adjacent to the river was blocked by a car, forming a huge inverted triangle shape.
In the middle of this inverted triangle, there were carriages filled with horizontal and vertical lines. The horses tied together stayed quietly in the corner, and from time to time they groaned with their big nostrils.
On the roof of the carriage in the middle of the triangle, there were archers standing all over the strings. In the middle were Huang Zhong, Zhang Feng, and Hao Zhao.
In front of every two carriages in the outer circle, six people guarded the passage that only one person could pass through, four people held a three-meter-long spear, and two people took a bow and arrow behind to assist.
This formation is mainly to prevent the opponent from forcibly ramming the cart with cavalry, forming an impact, division, and surround the infantry. The seemingly messy carts in the inner circle will hit the dense cart even if the cavalry rushes into the inner circle. The outer circle is full of gold, silver and treasures, and the heavy weight of the carts is no less than a solid rock.
"General, why haven't the lord's reinforcements come yet? Will it not come?" Hao Zhao, who was a newcomer, didn't understand how much Lao Cao valued the financial resources of the Zhen family.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng looked at Huang Zhong and smiled, patted the four boxes around him, which looked like hills. The box was full of money or something, and it made a thick and dull sound like "bang bang".
"With these things here, the lord will definitely send someone, and I guess it is the cold-faced young man Xia Houyuan."
Hao Zhao touched his head. This was his habitual action. Whenever something he didn't understand, he would do this. However, now he could not touch it. A brand new helmet made this extremely precocious half-baby look a bit heroic.
"But that kid always endures like a turtle. He will not take action if our army collapses or the enemy collapses. I have experienced this twice! Alas, compared to the situation of the battle, Xia Hou Miaocai is indeed the number one person in our army!" Zhang Feng held a dog-tail grass in his mouth, and the grass ears like a small mace were swaying heavily.
"That's because you are kind-hearted and can't stand your own life in vain." Huang Zhong said very little, but this is indeed a hit.
As a commander, he must have the awareness of making some sacrifices for the sake of the overall situation, otherwise he will be an unqualified general. Zhang Feng admired Xia Houyuan's approach from a military perspective, but he could not do this if he was himself.
Or this is why I came to this world and went to assist me.
When Chunyu Qiong's 20,000 troops arrived late, he saw a huge turtle, which made him a little dazed. Where did he get off?
This compact and close-to-one car array is obviously to guard against its own cavalry. The rows of archers on the roof of the inner circle are covered with dense cold arrows in the hands of the archers, forming a long light belt like a galaxy under the sunlight, which makes Chunyu Qiong's heart cool to the duodenum.
Zhang Feng had heard of it and knew that there were several examples of big wins, but as a famous general (he at least thought he was), he was just lucky and brave. As for those who rode alone, he felt that it must have been fabricated by someone else. It was incredible.
But when he saw this tight team defense, Chunyu Qiong knew that he was definitely not a guy who could make such a big name by relying on luck and courage alone. He definitely had two tricks!
"Send the order! The entire army retreated two miles and rested on the spot!" Seeing Zhang Feng appearing to be defending his life, Chunyu Qiong simply ordered the retreat and rest.
He didn't believe that Zhang Feng brought a large amount of food and grass, nor did he believe that Zhang Feng's iron turtle was still divided under the attack of the other three reinforcements?
The most important thing at the moment is to restore the morale and physical strength of the soldiers. They are so tired that they even feel dazzled.
Throwing the reins to the deputy general, Chunyu Qiong almost slid off the horse, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he immediately fell to his head and snore.
Sure enough, Zhang Feng did not send anyone to attack the pursuer who was sleeping like a dead pig.
But according to Zhang Fengyan's hair-plucking personality, would she allow the enemy to sleep swagger under her nose?
"Hey——Sing a mountain song——Sing a mountain song——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
There was only thunderous snoring sounds over there... It was rare that someone who was a bed-type bed-type who was not asleep and was in a daze. He turned over, rubbed his eyes, and mumbled a few words in his mouth and fell asleep again.
"Everyone sings together, you can sing anything. Just don't let these guys sleep soundly!"
It was a mess now. The soldiers put down their bows and arrows in their hands, pulled their throats, straightened their necks, and their faces were red, and they roared with music like cocks. Zhang Feng was sure that he had heard the quick-pitched: "Be like you, be like you..."
Even literate soldiers could not sing, and in desperation, they recited the book they had learned loudly: "I once said..."
Hou Lu Qing? Is Miss Guo here?
In the vast area, except for the wind, the sound can also be heard far away. This mixed noise suddenly woke most of the soldiers in Jizhou.
"Grandma's bear! Is it still allowed people to sleep!"
The awakened soldier cursed Zhang Fengye's no longer alive parents in anger.
Chunyu Qiong's qi returned, but he still had to sleep. So he just retreated five miles...
I don’t believe that Zhang Feng can send a message to the secret!
Seeing the enemy retreat again, Zhang Feng almost wanted to move the carriage to attack. He thought about the enemy reinforcements who had gone there, and insisted on following this tempting order.
Fortunately, Zhang Feng's decision was right this time. From the northeast, southwest and southeast directions, almost half an hour later, each of which had a total of about 15,000 reinforcements.
In order to work together to eliminate the more than 2,000 people led by the famous general Zhang Feng, almost all the troops of Dunqiu, Fanyang and Liyang were out. Except for a few people defending the city, they all came, hoping to keep the general on the land of Jizhou forever.
As for whether the Yuan and Cao families will be in a rebellious situation, it is not their turn to worry about people with their identities. Besides, the second young master Yuan is still holding on to it.
The three reinforcements finally found Chunyu Qiong who was sleeping among 20,000 yuan, and reached out to shake his deputy general's saliva.
"General, General!"
"Huh?" Chunyu Qiong opened his sleepy eyes. Lu Weihuang, Han Juzi, and Jiao Chu were watching him around like looking at the crickets in a jar.
"Well, I'm rude. I've been pursuing Zhang Kou all the way and I haven't rested for a while, so I don't know that the three of you arrived. I hope the three generals will forgive me."
"What does General Chunyu say? It is a great contribution to being able to catch up with and trap Zhang Feng. When Zhang Feng is destroyed, I am afraid that General Chunyu will be rewarded again." Lu Weihuang said. (It seems that the name with three characters in the Three Kingdoms era is a crime, which of course does not include the duplicate surname. Yuan Shao's subordinates came two at once.)
When it comes to rewards, Chunyu Qiong's face turned green, and was originally one of the eight schools in Xiyuan. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao became two bosses respectively. He originally hoped that Yuan Shao could win his brothers because of his past relationship, but he was demoted repeatedly because he drank too much and always missed things. Now it is difficult for even Yuan Shao to have the chance to meet him.
"Since that's the case, let's work together to defeat Zhang Feng!" Chunyu Qiong wanted to stand up, and after a short rest for a long time, his body felt even more uncomfortable. He staggered and almost fell down.
"It would be better for General Chunyu to lead his troops to plunder the formation for us. It would not be too late to join the battle formation when the situation is wrong." The three generals saw Chunyu Qiong's predicament, and were very "considered".
Considerate? If the three of them work together to defeat Zhang Feng, there will be no such contribution to Chunyu Qiong.
But what else could Chunyu Qiong do if the soldiers were tired of this? But even if he didn't go into battle, as long as Zhang Feng died here, Yuan Xi could still explain it.
The attack formation in the water is very unfavorable to the cavalry, because the cavalry relies on speed and impact. If you want to wade through the Wei River, which can be less than the horse's belly, you can imagine how much speed will be reduced.
Because the three of them led their troops to bypass the Linshui side and attacked the other two sides.
When the situation on both sides is compared, it is really hard to say what kind of victory Zhang Feng has. Although there are 20,000 enemies who are temporarily watching, if the battle situation is beneficial to the Jizhou Army, Chunyu Qiong will definitely jump out to pick the fruits of victory. Even if Zhang Feng resists the attack of the three armies, Chunyu Qiong will still take action for his own head.
Zhang Feng only had two thousand people in his hand. Even if he had a chariot array as strong as a stone, it was an indisputable fact that he had a total number of people far less than the opponent's 35,000. The Yanzhou Army was well equipped, and ordinary armor could withstand the attack of arrows, but it would not be invulnerable to close-range weapons. If that were true, sending 500 people to wear such invulnerable armor, huddling their necks and limbs like turtles, allowing the opponent to cut and kill them, and they were exhausted! They would also be exhausted!
This is what everyone except the Yanzhou Army thought. They did not know what Zhang Feng's last trump card was, or they didn't know that they had this trump card - after all, this is in Jizhou and Yuan Shao's territory.
As for Zhang Feng, he was full of confidence in this seemingly disparate battle. Of course, the key is that he must fight for time. The longer he delayed, the better. Once the time is ripe, the Leng Jun, a classmate who was slightly contemptuous of everything, would appear in his sight. At the end, he would still say as always: "Sorry! It's late!" Then the next battle will be as late as before...
Not only this, this is not Zhang Feng’s only reliance. In his words, “It is a stupid and dangerous way to put the success or failure of things on one point!”
What else is his trump card? Huang Zhong knows it, but Hao Zhao doesn't know it.
