Jijun military camp
After the rain, the sky is clear, the sky is blue, clean and bright, the sun rises, and the sunlight shines down to form a mist. The military camp is lined up, the tents are arranged neatly, and the soldiers are patrolling.
"Ha, hey"
The soldiers were pulled out for training. There was constant noise, the ground was still a little damp, and there was a lot of smoke rising not far away as they were cooking.
"Pei Ziyun has captured Baoyang County. All the people brought by Xie Chengdong died in the battle, and only one person was spared!" This news was passed to the main tent, but the inside of the main tent seemed dark and gloomy. When the outside came in, it was as dark as night in an instant. The captain After finishing his report, he stood with his hands down, while Zhao Yuan's face was twisted and his muscles were twitching, looking ferocious and terrifying.
Zhao Yuan walked around the tent for a few steps before he managed to suppress his anger and fear. He couldn't help but think of the words of the Marquis of Jibei.
Zhao Yuan is an old subordinate who has followed the Marquis of Jibei for many years. Before the uprising, he was just a camp commander and was still being reduced. Seeing that he had been fighting for more than ten years and had no merit and hard work, but he became a dismissed official. It's hard to bear the anger.
When his old boss, the Marquis of Jibei, rebelled, he not only refused to cut back, but also became a guerrilla general. Others didn't know how he felt, but he was dedicated to serving his death.
At this position, he also vaguely knew that not only the lord, but also someone on King Lu's side wanted to get rid of Pei Ziyun. His task was to cooperate tacitly to strangle Pei Ziyun, and even capture Baoyang County to open up the situation.
But now that all Xie Chengdong's people are dead, this plan is completely useless. He took a breath and asked: "How is the situation now?"
"There is still news from people lurking in the county. According to the situation, there are 700 cavalry. There are 1,500 in Baoyang County. 500 are county soldiers and 1,000 are sent from the county. The number is smaller than us, but It's not easy to fight if you have cavalry!" The captain thought for a moment and then reported: "Moreover, they camped out of the city and seem to want to fight with us in the wild."
"General, what should we do now? Return or advance?" After a long time, the captain asked in a low voice. The guerrilla general is the lowest-grade general, and the next one is the captain, who is actually the deputy, so it is natural to ask.
Zhao Yuan listened, but hesitated. Now his army is still thirty miles away from Baoyang County. He can advance or retreat. He has 3,000 men and the enemy has 2,700. But the enemy has 700 cavalry. If the enemy guards the county, If we can't attack it at all, we'll have to leave it alone and we'll definitely have to withdraw our troops.
Now that the enemy has gone out of the city to fight with us in the field, it is difficult to make a decision.
Zhao Yuan walked for a few steps, just thinking, this person is the lord's big problem. If I can kill this person, the lord's great cause will be accomplished. How can we retreat from the war
What's more important is that once the master fails, not only will his glory and wealth be lost, but he will also implicate the three clans!
Now that I have retreated, where can I retreat to then
If you can only die, you might as well fight. Zhao Yuan thought of this and his expression became ferocious: "Seven hundred cavalry and 1,500 county soldiers are barely enough to fight."
"Today I will get rid of this serious trouble for the Duke." Zhao Yuan said fiercely. Seeing the captain's hesitation, he pulled out his sword and chopped off the wooden case with one blow: "Send the order, and the whole army will come out of the camp and form an array to fight with him. Pei Ziyun’s decisive battle.”
"Yes, General." The captain said with a frown.
As Zhao Yuan's order was issued, the horn sounded, and the military camp became solemn. It didn't take long for them to break camp and head towards Baoyang County.
According to Baoyang County officials, a large camp has been set up on a piece of flat land. Although it is a temporary camp, it is still in order. It has only been ten years since the founding of Daxu, and the laws have not been relaxed. Whether it is the imperial army or Jibei Hou, the camp was organized according to rules. In winter, fences were erected and in summer, trenches were dug. Sentries went in and out of the camp to explore the surrounding environment. There were also people who carried water to make rice and feed the horses.
In the tent, Pei Ziyun was sitting on the throne, and a sentinel reported: "Report... Zhao Yuan has led his army ten miles away from our camp!"
"Okay!" Pei Ziyun stood up and said, "Give me the order and the whole army will march out of camp and form an array!"
The trumpet sounded, and soldiers poured out of the military camp in an orderly manner. The long queue with the fire was leaving the camp. After three passes, the military formation was completed.
Pei Ziyun took a look and saw that although there was order, most of the county soldiers were trembling slightly. He couldn't help but shake his head and ordered: "Pan Hu!"
"Here you go!" A captain stepped forward and responded loudly.
"The enemy's formation is only three thousand strong, and the formation is weak. I will personally lead the cavalry to defeat it. You control these county soldiers. Once our army is victorious, we will immediately attack together."
"Anyone who dares to disobey orders or retreat will be killed!"
These words were murderous, and everyone was chilled, but Pan Hu said loudly: "Master, there is no reason for a general to charge into the formation. Master, please sit down and mark the formation. If you can't break it, kill me!"
Pei Ziyun nodded: "What you said is correct, but the enemy also has some elite soldiers. I want to fight quickly and there can be no surprises."
"Stop talking, just follow my orders."
In the army, even if Pei Ziyun said this, the general would not agree, but now the highest official position is only the captain. The gap is too big. Although he feels it is inappropriate, he does not dare to continue to protest, so he has to swallow his saliva and respond. :"yes!"
Not long after, the military formation slowly approached and stopped at three hundred steps, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In the enemy's formation, Zhao Yuan looked at him in armor, very surprised, and asked: "What is this? Pei Ziyun is an imperial envoy, leading the cavalry himself?"
After receiving the confirmation, Zhao Yuan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "This person is crazy. Even if it is bait, I will swallow it. Tell the whole army that as long as I kill this person, I will be promoted to three levels in a row."
"Pei Ziyun is an imperial envoy who controls hundreds of thousands of troops from four states. He dares to gamble like this. How can I retreat?"
"Whoever dares to retreat will be shot to death."
"I've tried my best to take this bite today!" Following his command with a grin, the entire military formation slowly rushed out!
As soon as the Ji army moved, Pei Ziyun immediately dispatched, and the seven hundred cavalry rolled away with Pei Ziyun. During the first hundred steps, the horses were jogging. After a hundred steps, the horses became faster and faster, forming an iron stream.
The sound of hooves rolled, dust filled the air, and the ground seemed to be shaking. Zhao Yuan's expression suddenly changed. His old army was gone. When the cavalry charged, he knew something was wrong. His new soldiers might not be able to resist.
"Archers come forward!"
The horses were moving too fast, so when they stepped forward, the cavalrymen were already rushing to the front. It was so dark that one could even see the expressions of the people in front.
"put!"
"Puff puff puff" A rain of arrows fell, and dozens of cavalrymen rolled and fell, but it was too late for the second round.
"Lao Ying came forward, his spear flat."
"Wow!" There was a neat sound. The spear team only had 200 people, but when they put down their spears, a row of cold spears was formed, shining with a cold metallic light. This was Zhao Yuan's true strength.
"Hold the crossbow and let go!" Pei Ziyun's words were clearly audible in the charging team. The charging cavalry could be seen pulling out the crossbow in front and firing straight at the sky, while the rear fired directly at the sky.
"Puff, puff, puff!" A hail of arrows rained down, and the spear forest in the old camp opposite suddenly screamed, and many people rolled down.
"Throw the crossbow, draw the sword, kill!" The cavalry is so fast. When it comes to killing, the cavalry in front has almost rushed to the opposite spear.
"Kill!" It turned out to be Laoying. Although he was attacked, he was a little flustered and his face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and held the spear tightly, and thrust it out together.
The spear stabbed, and there was a squeaking sound as the spear penetrated the flesh. There were holes in the cavalry in front, and a cloud of blood spilled out. It was terrible to see, but the charging horses hundreds of meters away pressed forward with heavy inertia, and suddenly the old camp was full of people. There were also screams one after another.
"Kill!" Pei Ziyun thought to himself that if this is the case, many people worship the Spear Party. In fact, there has never been an example of spears being able to resist cavalry since ancient times, let alone a very thin spear array.
The secret is that the charging cavalry and horses have an momentum of several tons. As long as they are willing to sacrifice the front row, there is no chariot trench to stop them. A simple forest of spears cannot stop them.
Dozens of people were carried down in front, and the entire spear formation had been broken. The cavalrymen who followed were facing their swords, and the spearmen suffered heavy casualties immediately. The horses even trampled them mercilessly and died on the ground. Some were not trampled to death, but were still rolling and struggling and screaming.
The smell of blood made people want to vomit, and streams of blood flowed down. The recruits of the Ji army looked at all this, their faces were pale, their Adam's apples rolled up and down rapidly, and they hesitated to move forward.
"Gookkan Camp, go!" Zhao Yuan shouted. This is a weapon specially designed to deal with cavalry and cut off horse legs. However, in fact, this weapon has no effect at all when charging at high speed. Only when the cavalry is trapped in the military formation and slows down can it Go and cut the horse's legs, so arrange them on both sides.
"Yes, General!"
The captain ordered loudly, and hooks, sickles, and spears immediately rushed forward.
Pei Ziyun sneered: "It's ridiculous, keep your speed and kill!"
Pei Ziyun was wearing triple armor and holding two long knives in his hands. The horse was moving faster and faster. Feeling the wind blowing against his face, Pei Ziyun suddenly felt a burning sensation in the slight bumps.
"Even if an ordinary person is born with great strength, how can he compare with a Taoist who has truly refined his body to perfection?"
"Wearing triple armor, it can still bear the weight of dozens of kilograms."
"And with my martial arts, even though I have thousands of troops, I can still seize flaws and vital points in an instant."
The moment he rushed in, Pei Ziyun pointed his knife. The knife broke the air, cut through the pierced spear or hook and sickle, and fell along the gap - or it was simply undefended.
No matter how strong a veteran is, how can he be compared to a master
It's not that no weapons hit the body, but there was a clanking sound, and only scars appeared. When the sword light hit, heads flew out one after another, and blood spurted directly onto the body.
In the spiritual sense, everything became clear. The angry and panicked faces turned into screams in an instant. The array of the Goukake camp was torn apart, unable to stop it for a moment, and the sharp spear tip tore the array apart, left and right. Following the charging cavalry, they swung their swords down without any resistance, and dozens of hooked sickle soldiers were immediately cut down.
"No, it's impossible..." Zhao Yuan looked on dumbfounded, seeing that the Goukama camp was quickly penetrated, followed by bows, arrows and new soldiers.
The recruits and archers couldn't react at this distance, and they immediately panicked and wanted to blow up the camp. Seeing that something was wrong, the deputy captain rushed forward with his own soldiers. He jumped on his horse and killed a soldier who was trying to escape, shouting: "Don't retreat." , no retreat allowed."
In fact, the Phalangists are useful, but not as magical as imagined.
