Travel through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 58

The princes didn't dare to do anything to Yang Yu here. It can be said that they all knew that Yang Yu's place was not an easy bone to chew, so, easily, no one dared to provoke Yang Yu.

However, what Yang Yu didn't expect was that the wheat was about to be harvested, and Zhang Yan from Montenegro would come. Don't you think that I'd better not be messed with.

Zhang Yan, formerly known as Chu Yan, was nicknamed Feiyan because of his agility and fierceness. From the beginning of the yellow scarf, Yan gathered together young people as a group of bandits, and turned to attack in Shanze. Later, together with Zhang Niujiao and soldiers, they promoted Niujiao to be handsome. Later, Niujiao was hit by flying arrows during the siege, and he was wounded and died. Everyone regarded Yan as the commander, so he changed his surname to Zhang.

Since he is a thief, he just doesn't attend to production, so Zhang Yan has always disturbed the neighbors. Today, he found that Yang Yu's wheat in Luoyang is growing well, and Yang Yu doesn't have many men, so he took a fancy to Yang Yu. Yu this place too.

"Report, my lord, Zhang Yan from Heishan led eight thousand thieves to cross the Yellow River in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, two hundred miles away from us, and they are coming from our side." "Explore again."

This Zhang Yan was actually very cautious. Before, Yang Yu's scouts had detected the Black Bandit's actions, but then, they changed direction and went upstream.

At that time, there was a discussion, "Sima, what do you think?" Since Ju Shou became Sima, Yang Yu needed to let him give full play to his abilities.

"Returning to my lord, I believe that this black bandit must have come for us. Obviously, they came for our wheat. I have to say that under the responsibility of my lord, the growth of this wheat is really good." That's right, it actually made our neighbors very greedy, and the black mountain bandits are also going to be greedy, they don't wait for production, so it's normal for them to look at the most suitable food for robbery, so, Xiaguan I think that they may cross the Yellow River in this place, and then they will come rushing."

Jushou pointed out a place on the map. This place is more than 200 miles upstream of the Yellow River where they are located. This is the most suitable place for crossing the river. Moreover, they will have ample rest time when crossing the river. , and then you can concentrate on attacking Yang Yu here. This, everyone knows, although Yang Yu here has not many troops, but a lot of horses, so two hundred miles is the worst that Zhang Yan thinks. safe place.

"Ju Sima, do you have a countermeasure?" Ju Shou, he wanted to show his ability in front of Yang Yu, and Yang Yu wanted Ju Shou to show his ability, so the two hit it off .

"Returning to my lord, I think that now, we should arrange for General Gao's team to go to ambush. In this place, and in this place, first of all, General Gao's infantry should be divided into two parts. Let us wipe out the [-] cavalry of the Black Bandit in one fell swoop, and then, General Gao's cavalry and General Yang's light cavalry charge back and forth in front of the bandit infantry, compressing the bandit infantry into this wide area. The land was slowly consumed by them.

General Gao's cavalry charged from the flanks and wiped out a small part of him at a time, while General Yang's light cavalry shot at the enemy with arrows at a certain distance from the bandit army. After catching up from behind, he also charged steadily at the bandits from the side. "

According to the combat power of Yang Yu's army, Jushou came up with a risky strategy, that is, from the front and the sides, gradually nibble away at the army of the bandit army, while the cavalry of the bandit army fought in a narrow space. Let Lin Daojian kill him first.

Jushou really has confidence in these troops of Yang Yu, because, as soon as he became the commander of the army, he immediately went down to the army to understand the combat power of the army, which is a must for a military command. Quality, otherwise, how does he arrange how to fight this battle, he must figure out whether the cannon is attacking the mosquito, or the mosquito is attacking the cannon. In order to know himself and the enemy, he also personally asked someone to take him to survey the terrain within a range of hundreds of miles, so the terrain was imprinted in his heart.

Yang Yu has to admire Ju Shou, he is a qualified military command talent, and he may even be a qualified political talent, but in this aspect, it is not his turn to play, after all, Yang Yu is now a In a disadvantageous position, first of all, he can't attack, but can only defend, so Jushou can only display his ability in defense, and he can't see anything else for the time being.

Sure enough, in response to Jushou's idea, the bandit army crossed the river two hundred miles upstream. It can be seen that Jushou also has a deep understanding of some generals around him, especially this Zhang Yan, who knows the deepest. It is possible that they have dealt with each other before. It is estimated that Han Fu in Jizhou in the past was often harassed by Zhang Yan.

Everything was carried out according to Ju Shou's expectations. First, Zhang Yan's bandit army crossed the Yellow River and rested for one night. Then, on the second day, five hundred cavalry were allowed to open the way in front, and the infantry behind slipped away. Xiao ran followed, yes, that was white fine grains waiting for them, and their mouths would water when they thought about it, they hadn't eaten such grains many times in their life.

But when the cavalry was running forward, suddenly, two armies flashed in front of them. These two armies flashed out nearly a hundred meters away from them. Isn't it a bit early?

It wasn't too early. These cavalry were originally advancing at a trot, and they still needed to keep track of the speed of the infantry behind them. However, when they discovered the ambush army ahead, and there were still two small infantry, they became a little arrogant Immediately, the speed of the horse was raised, and it moved forward at the speed of charging.

Looking at these two teams again, the long lances in their hands are not in a hurry, that is, the long lances. Yang Yu specially lengthened their long lances a lot. They first thrust the long lances into the ground, and then, Hold the long lance with a short javelin in your hand, so a simple lance forest was erected. Obviously, the cavalry of the bandit army had no time to hold the speed of the horses, and then they retreated to a certain point. The distance, the javelin was raised in the hand, originally, this spear formation, or the spear formation is to be boldly supported by the soldiers in front, and used to deal with the enemy's cavalry, and, once the enemy's cavalry is broken, our own The infantry would also suffer heavy casualties. They were not killed by the enemy, but were hit by the enemy's horses. But now, Yang Yu has changed it, so that this battle does not need someone to preside over it, but It is to let the soldiers use javelins to deal with the enemy's cavalry in the distance. First, some of the enemy's troops will be injured by the lance array, and then there will be a burst of gunfire. Nearby, there will be some axes to deal with them, that is to say , This infantry has three kinds of weapons, one is a long lance, the other is a javelin, and the last is a broad axe. Naturally, this is the formation to deal with the cavalry in charge, and the others are traps trained according to the formal Gao Shun. The formation of the camp to fight.

The so-called trapped camp is the strongest formation to deal with cavalry and infantry, but compared with the cavalry that is charging rapidly, the loss is a bit too large. This is why Yang Yu added some formations to the transformation. But now, this formation has been grasped by Ju Shou.

More than 400 long spears, first killed and wounded nearly a hundred enemy troops by the cavalry of the bandit army, and then dozens of enemy troops would be tripped by the fallen cavalry in front, you know, this fast-moving horse , Once tripped, the cavalry above basically have no combat effectiveness.

Then, another burst of javelins was thrown out, and more than 200 cavalrymen fell down, and then more than a hundred cavalrymen came to the front of the team. At this time, it was the real formation that fell into the camp However, at this time, their hands were all replaced with unified axes, so a cavalry force of more than 500 people was wiped out. Looking at the soldiers trapped in the camp, there were only a few dozen soldiers Some were slightly injured, and a few were unlucky and became seriously injured, but fortunately, none of them died.
