Chapter 117 Deadlock
Yuan Hao at the top of the city saw the battle under the city, his face changed suddenly. Everyone knew not to let the cavalry hedge against the infantry formed, but on the battlefield, in most cases, the infantry was defeated by the cavalry, rather than the other way around. It is easy to know and difficult to do. Even if the generals know how to face the cavalry charge, how many troops can send a small group of troops to repel the cavalry?
What scared Yuan Hao was not that the Song army under the city defeated his own guard cavalry, but that they were calm and seemed to be a matter of course to fight like this. To make such arrangements on the battlefield, they must have undergone a lot of arduous training, and cooperation on the battlefield was not just a hothead. The Song army who came to attack Zhuoluo City was the real elite, which was what scared Yuan Hao. He led 20,000 or 30,000 people to plot against Yuzhong City. It was precisely because Qin Feng Road did not have the elite of the imperial guards, and he was afraid of the Song army in Sanchuankou. The elites were concentrated there, and Qin Feng Road and Jingyuan Road were empty.
After sighing, Yuan Hao said to Yeli Yuqi beside him: "The country is full of people saying that Qin Feng and Jingyuan on the opposite side are empty, without the elite Song army, and most of them are stationed in the imperial guards. Today, the rumors are really unreliable. The ones who came to attack Zhuoluo City are no less than the elite army of the "Shang Four Army" of the imperial guards of the Song State. Uncle, this battle cannot be fought any longer. The number of people is huge. The Song army that came is several times higher than ours, and it is also an elite strong army. Such a strong enemy, if one is not good, the entire army will be wiped out, and if it is delayed for a moment, it will be more dangerous."
Seeing that Wuliu at the city was reorganizing his troops and preparing to attack the hill again, Yuanhao ordered his personal soldiers to say, "Go down and let the two armies not attack the mountain anymore. Just lead the men to force the Song army at the foot of the mountain, so that they can't rush down the mountain. After they forced the Song army, they asked the troops to quickly gather east of the city. Once noon, we will break through to Lingzhou, and we will not be able to wait for a moment!"
The personal soldiers responded to the promise, and Yuanhao said to Yeliyu, "This battle is dangerous, uncle, be careful! I will lead the troops out of the pass, and you will follow us out immediately. Even if you leave some soldiers in the military supervisor for the Song people, you will be willing to do so!"
Yeli begs for Yuan Hao and smiles bitterly in his heart. In this situation, it is not possible to leave the military supervisors and soldiers. Yuan Hao rushed out with the elite guards. He had to take off a layer of skin even if he didn't die. Whether he could keep up with him had to leave his fate.
Jia Kui held a telescope and looked at the situation in the valley. After seeing the Dangxiang Army rushing once, he reorganized the troops and prepared to rush again, and was very excited to see the same situation. When Yuan Hao broke through, he had to repeat it with him.
Breakthrough from the valley towards Lingzhou, the Dangxiang Army climbed the mountain step by step, and had to go through repeated rushing before they could set foot on the road to the east. The 20,000 personal guards around Yuanhao were carefully selected from the Dangxiang National. Xu Ping knew that the 50,000 soldiers he brought could not be kept, and forcibly stayed would be more than worth the loss. According to the plan, Sang Yi and Gao Daquan had to fight in turn, peeling off the skin of the Dangxiang Army layer by layer. How many layers of skin should be taken to depend on how the two armies fought.
In the valley ten miles south of Zhuoluo City, Xu Ping looked up at the arrows rising and falling in the sky and said to Shi Quanbin: "There has been a fight ahead. The Qinzhou army has been training for less than a year. I wonder if it can suppress the elite soldiers of Dangxiang."
Shi Quanbin said: "Since the war has begun, let's go quickly and go to the front to see how the men fight!"
"Gei Chief, fighting is a life-and-death battle, not a show on the stage, how can you watch it casually? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. When the commander arrives in front of the formation, a stray arrow is inexplicably injured. What if you ask the soldiers of the entire army to do? Let's go five miles away and listen to the reports from each army. It's better to go swords and swords, bleeding and bones, and it's better not to watch."
Shi Quanbin felt it was a pity that he had arrived in front of the formation, and it was foreseeable that it was a big victory. He was really unwilling to be able to see it with his own eyes. When he went to the formation, he went back to the Chaoli official family and talked about it, and he was also glorious.
Seeing Xu Ping insisting on refusing, Shi Quanbin had to say, "Rules, we have known each other for many years, and what convinced you the most is this calmness. The millions of soldiers ahead are fighting, and you are calm here. What should you do, everything is orderly. It's really like a chess game!"
Xu Ping shook his head: "The battlefield is not a chess game. When two armies fight, the most laborious and fearful moment is when there is no war before the war. How to practice soldiers, how to learn, how to fight, and how to fight, it is not an exaggeration to say that when the war begins, I don't think about those things in my heart. Practice what should be practiced, learn what should be learned, just follow the steps."
At this moment, Wang Kai came quickly from the front and said to Xu Ping: "Master, the battle of Zhuoluo City has begun. The bandits slowly moved closer to Zhuoluo City in the south of the city, and the formation was strict, so our army had to slowly push forward without a big battle. In the north of the city, the bandits gathered towards the east, thinking that they wanted to break out toward Lingzhou. The Xuanwei army occupied the favorable terrain and rushed in turn, and scored a lot, which also disrupted the arrangement of the bandits. However, the bandits sent troops from the city, forcing the two nearest hills, and stabilizing the situation. Now their vanguards have occupied the banks of the Karochuan River and are wading across the river."
"I know." Xu Ping thought about it, "I'm going to attack halfway through, this kind of opportunity should not be missed. He ordered Sang Yi and Gao Daquan to send people to rush forward when the thieves crossed the river. He did not ask to drive the thieves into the river, so that they could not be so smooth."
Wang Kai Yingnuo turned around and wanted to leave, then turned around and said, "Statement: The Karochuan River is not wide, and there is less water in the river now, so both people and horses can wade through. Dangxiang's bows and crossbows are powerful, so they should not be too despised."
"Not bad. Let Sang Yi and Gao Daquan rush across the river, don't attack head-on. Just disrupt the rhythm of crossing the thieves, don't force the thieves to cross the river. Now is the time when the water in the river is at least, and you can't stop the army from advancing."
Wang Kai Yingnui, he rushed forward and quickly.
Shi Quanbin sighed and said, "It's a pity that the weather is not good. If there is a heavy rain now, eight out of ten will leave Hao Thief here. With such great achievements, it will be easy to do anything in the future."
Xu Ping smiled and said, "When it rains heavily, Haozi must stay in Xingqing Mansion honestly, so where would he come here! The chief of the Pavilion, the important thing is that we will win this battle well. It is useless to think too much."
Shi Quanbin also laughed, knowing that he wanted to catch Yuanhao too much and made great contributions, and thought too unrealistic.
Jia Kui held the telescope and looked at the war in the valley, and suddenly said, "Hey, why didn't those thieves attack the mountain? He only rushed once and broke less than a hundred cavalry and dared not attack anymore. Why is it so unbearable!"
Yang Wenguang took the telescope and looked for a while, then put it down and said, "The thieves are not stupid either. If you rush once, you will naturally know that they will not be able to capture the mountain for a while. If you force them to attack, you don't know how many lives you have to fill in. It's better to force them down the mountain. It's not easy for the soldiers and horses of the dynasty to rush down the mountain. Fewer deaths will be done to achieve their goal, why don't they do it?"
Jia Kui said angrily: "It is said that thieves are not afraid of death, and they dare to fight and rush on the battlefield! If this is the case, hundreds of people will be scared out of their courage. How troublesome we can handle it! How many people have died? They will be scared out of their courage!"
Yang Wenguang laughed: "If you are not afraid of death, you are not afraid of death and hitting the tip of the gun, you are not afraid of death, you are stupid! Yu Hou, don't think of the thieves as if they are brainless, prepare well. When the thieves cross the river, it's time to attack us!"
