Chapter 407 Black eats black

Dingtianju dtxsj

Yuan Shao's advance base is Xindu, the front line is Tangyang, and the goal is Tao. Of course, the tactics are the same as Lu Zhi's, siege, or siege without being trapped. Aila Book House 26bk

Does Yuan Shao have the ability to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop? Whether there is any, it is still a matter of cost!

Is Yuan Shao going to firmly implement the imperial edicts of the court and attack the Yellow Turban Army at all costs? No!

So why did Yuan Shao attack Wu Tao so actively?

In fact, this is very simple. It is the strategy of Xu You and Pang Ji. This strategy is to actively attack and suppress the Yellow Turban Army to actively shrink its military strength, thereby stabilizing the four eastern counties of Jizhou in one fell swoop. Even Anping was stabilized, so that these counties could restore normal production and living order in a timely manner. This is not only related to the harvest of this year's autumn harvest, but also to the internal stability of Yuan Shao's camp and the subsequent attack plan for the Yellow Turban forces in the border areas of Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

Therefore, the so-called Taoist offensive is a strategy of attack instead of defense. In fact, Yuan Shao's desire to attack was not great, but just to create military pressure on the Yellow Turban Army. Calculate the cost of maintaining the Taoist camp is actually much more expensive than to extinguish the Yellow Turban thieves who infiltrated Anping and even the Bohai Sea some time ago, which once again fully proves Xu You's ability.

Jiang Yiqu was once broken through the defense line by the Yellow Turban Army under Xindu City, which was considered a fault, but then he took Xindu, which was considered a fault. Yuan Shao did not hold him accountable too much, but instead made him keep the trust in Xindu and get up to give preferential treatment. In fact, it was a kind of distrust of Jiang Yiqu's ability.

The Tao Front in the Taoist Front is naturally the most capable Yan Liang, while Wen Chou is in charge of Tangyang. The newly recruited young general Gao Lan is the newly recruited military general.

The distance between Taotao Camp in Tangyang is only 160 miles, but the logistics supplies are relatively slow and take two days to reach. Gao Lan is the person in charge of the safety of this section of the road. He has 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry under his command. Even if the players of the Yellow Turban camp target this logistics line, the possibility of destroying Gao Lan's 40,000 strong soldiers is very low. [Ye*] [*]

Moreover, there will be players from the imperial camp taking on escort missions along the way, so the monthly delivery team will have nearly 100,000 escort troops together. Yuan Shao is indeed rich and powerful!

When he got out of the camp at night, Gao Lan let the infantry in the middle and leave a passage on all sides so that the cavalry could enter and exit. Then there was an Yiren camp surrounding him, surrounding the official army's barracks in the middle.

At night, no surprise, the aliens from the Yellow Turban camp began to appear in the camps outside to harass them. However, the aliens from the imperial camp were originally idle and went to fight with the aliens from the Yellow Turban camp. At night, there were shouts of killing and horse hooves around. From time to time, some camp tents were ignited by rockets, and a big fire broke out, and many people were making noise to put out the fire.

Gao Lan had no way to rest all night, it was too noisy, but Gao Lan was not very worried that the soldiers would have any accidents tomorrow because they had a poor rest, because they could reach Tao camp before dark tomorrow. I believe General Yan Liang would also send cavalry to pick up his logistics team.

So Gao Lan simply stopped sleeping and climbed up the watchtower erected on the edge of the camp. He went toward the surrounding wilderness covered by night. He saw stars everywhere, and the light of torches and fires were faintly visible in the battlefield where the battle was fighting in the distance. The sound of people shouting and neighing horses came into his ears with the night wind, which also brought a strong smell of blood.

Gao Lan was a little puzzled. Why were Yi people so keen on fighting? Gao Lan even felt that Yi Ren had a fanatical desire for fighting. Without any fear or disgust, this made Gao Lan feel a little ashamed. It seemed that these Yi Ren was more suitable for this battlefield and this world than himself.

Just as Gao Lan was a little distracted, a faint muffled sound suddenly came from the south. It seemed as if the thunder sound came from the horizon. Gao Lan felt a little panic in his heart. He had a bad premonition that something might happen tonight.

"Awaken all the soldiers, the infantry guard the camp, the cavalry are ready to fight at any time!" Gao Lan suddenly turned around and shouted loudly at the messenger under the watchtower. [Ye*] [*]

The messenger was stunned for a moment and replied loudly: "No!"

Sure enough, the sounds in the south seemed to suddenly become lively, and then more and more camp tents were ignited. On the high view on the watchtower, it was obvious that the alien camp outside the south had been completely broken through, and the alien troops there had been in chaos. The alien troops in the Yellow Turban camp had taken advantage of the situation to attack through this gap.

However, Gao Lan felt a little strange. He always felt that the danger came from the north. Although it was still very calm, Gao Lan's subconscious mind always felt that there seemed to be a terrible monster hidden in the calm in the north.

Gao Lan suppressed his idea of ​​going to the south to support, but asked the messengers to get the cavalry to board the horse, but they gathered at the gate of the village in the north. The players on the outside, without Gao Lan command, spontaneously gathered to the north, but the situation was not very good. After the originally balanced battle situation was broken, the alien troops on the official army fell into a passive position.

Supporting to the south requires the troops to withdraw their formations, re-change their formations, and then turn from offense and defense to marching. These have increased the difficulty of command and also caused heavy losses to the Yiren troops with insufficient command capabilities and military training. Soon, the Yiren troops in several other directions also began to experience chaos in fighting on their own.

The situation seemed increasingly critical, especially in the south, the cavalry troops of the Yellow Turban camp had appeared outside the Gaolan camp, and seemed to be clearing the positions of the long-range troops and wanting to use the long-range troops to project rocket lure into Gaolan's camp. However, the more critical the south is, the more intense Gaolan's fear of the north is.

Just when Gao Lan was in a dilemma, the slightly quiet north finally changed!

The sound of horse hooves like muffled thunder slowly came from the horizon in the darkness, becoming louder and stronger, constantly impacting Gao Lan's eardrums. Gao Lan guessed from the vibration of the ground that there were at least 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry in the north. At this time, Gao Lan couldn't help but secretly glad that he had not left the camp, otherwise the enemy would launch a surprise attack from the north, which would definitely give him a ruthless back.

"The cavalry went out of the north gate to face the attacking enemy. The infantry divided 10,000 and attacked south, cleared the enemy's long-range troops and retreated back to the camp."

As Gao Lan's order was issued, the north gate of the camp opened wide, Gao Lan's cavalry rushed towards the north like a torrent, and Gao Lan was rumbling towards the north. Gao Lan was clearly standing on the watchtower. The cavalry of the enemy in the north was rushing towards his camp like a bamboo shoot. Although it was unclear in the dark, with the help of the ignited camp tents around, Gao Lan could still be, those alien troops were as fragile as paper-made in front of this cavalry. This was a strong soldier, the real trump card of the enemy.

Gao Lan just glanced at the south. Although his troops were blocked, they could still move forward firmly and drive Yi Ren's troops out of range. However, Yi Ren was very tenacious. As soon as Gao Lan's troops retreated, they immediately approached again. The official army could only fight a tug-of-war with Yi Ren's troops there.

After being blocked in the south, the Yiren troops began to develop to the left and right sides, attacking the Yiren troops on both sides of the periphery, which suddenly increased the losses of the Yiren troops in the imperial camp. These troops had to retreat unconsciously towards Gaolan's camp. However, in this way, due to the high concentration of the troops, the offensive of the Yellow Turban camp slowed down.

Gao Lan no longer pays attention to this side. As long as he can defeat the Yellow Turban Cavalry in the north and free up his cavalry to reverse the current unfavorable situation. Similarly, before the cavalry decides the victory or defeat, the infantry battle will not have any results for a while, so Gao Lan concentrates all his attention on the north.

However, the cavalry was very fast and ran out of Gao Lan's sight in the blink of an eye. He hid in the darkness. Gao Lan raised his ears and listened carefully to the movements in the distance, hoping that his cavalry would win. Apart from that, he could only wait silently.

The cavalry of the government army began like Gao Lan. They were looking forward to their own victory. They did have psychological advantages for the enemy, especially in terms of cavalry. The cavalry level of the Yellow Turban Army was really not very good.

However, the fact shocked all the officials and cavalry. When the officials and cavalry rushed out of the camp, the Yellow Turban Army's cavalry had completely cleared the offensive passage in the north. However, the Yellow Turban Army's cavalry did not attack. From the sound of hooves, it can be heard that the Yellow Turban Army's cavalry was reorganizing and seemed to be moving to the side.

Just as the officers and cavalry were so motivated that they wanted to pursue them, they were baptized by a intensive round of arrows. The officers and cavalry, who were originally quite confident in themselves, immediately realized that they might have hit the iron plate after seeing the powerful lethality of the Yellow Turban Arrows.

The cavalry of the government army is a medium-sized cavalry, without weapons for far-fighting. Now the cavalry of the government army is either forward, rushing up to fight with the opponent in close combat, or retreating, and running back to find the support of the infantry. However, now their infantry brothers seem to be in trouble and are waiting for the cavalry brothers to rescue him. How can they care about helping the cavalry brothers?

The cavalry commander gritted his teeth and issued an order to rush forward, but sadly, the opponent's cavalry seemed to be at a distance of less than a hundred steps away from him, but they could not catch up with him. The cavalry with yellow turbans and black armor turned around and shot arrows from time to time, shooting the official cavalry under the horse in batches.

After chasing for a while, the official cavalry found sadly that they seemed to be surrounded by the other party, with enemy troops on the front and enemy troops on the left and right sides. The number is unknown, but the lethality and speed are obviously stronger than theirs. Therefore, the morale of the official army declines as quickly as the number of them decreases.

In the dark night, no one will surrender foolishly, nor will anyone capture prisoners. Therefore, after Gao Lan's 20,000 cavalry left the camp, except for the occasional injuries and deaths, Gao Lan never saw his 20,000 cavalry again. As for the opponent, Gao Lan didn't know, only knew that it was an unknown group of archers. This team of archers could eat his 20,000 cavalry, either set up an ambush or cooperated with the crossbows or had several times the number of cavalry. Of course, this was just Gao Lan's subsequent guess.

Now, after Gao Lan gradually discovered that the road was wrong, he immediately ordered the ignition of the baggage and the infantry gathered to break westward. His determination was very resolute and timely. Therefore, in the end, Gao Lan was able to break out with more than 10,000 infantry and tens of thousands of players and meet with Yan Liang who came to rescue. If it was later, Gao Lan might not be connected to his troops, and he would have to throw them here. (Your support on this site is my greatest motivation.) Qunshuyuan qunshuyuan
