Chapter 133
The soldiers caught off guard were so miserable. The soldiers who were hit in the head were simply killed and died without saying a word. However, the soldiers who were hit on the waist or some other place could not die for a while. The screams were really one after another. The front and back queues of Zhu Ling's army were in chaos at that time, and Zhu Ling was immediately confused by the situation in front of him! What's going on? How could this happen? How could the Youzhou Army have so many catapults? This time it will definitely be over! Three doubts, one affirmation, this is the thought that came to Zhu Ling's mind when he was attacked by the stone rain in the sky!
In fact, it is no wonder that Zhu Ling thought so! Although the catapult car has been in the industry for hundreds of years, it is also a strategic weapon. Most troops are spare. Although the catapult car is not very expensive (basically, it is made of wood. In ancient times, there were wood everywhere, and the cost is naturally not high!) However, the catapult car is very troublesome to move, the operation is very cumbersome, and the attack frequency is very low, and many craftsmen are required. Due to the craftsmanship, the attack distance is not easy to master. Moreover, due to the attack frequency and attack distance, it can only form the lethality of the point and the one-sided lethality is difficult. Therefore, although the catapult car is extremely powerful, it is generally only necessary to attack or defend the city. In field battles, few people will use it!
Now, as soon as the Youzhou Army came up, it used the attack power of the sky of stone rain. Zhu Ling naturally couldn't imagine it! The catapult car of the Youzhou Army was all produced by unified production and using steel structures. The attack frequency and attack distance were greatly improved. Although the number was not too large, it could form the sky of stone rain. The reason for this situation was that Zhu Ling, who was not familiar with the weapons and equipment and combat style of the Youzhou Army, was not expected enough in advance!
Seeing the stone rain all over the sky, Zhu Ling knew that this time, his troops were probably doomed! The defense work he had prepared in advance was useless at all! Now that he was suddenly hit, it must be a turmoil in the morale of the army! If the cavalry of the Youzhou Army suddenly attacked at this time, his troops... the consequences would be unimaginable! Zhu Ling thought of this, and couldn't help but tremble! He quickly prepared to issue an order to gather the troops to prevent the raid of the Youzhou Army's cavalry! Although he knew that even if he had a life
Orders may not be useful. Now the soldiers are hit suddenly, their morale is low, their morale is disintegrating, and their spirits and their spirits are tortured. At this time, they will definitely ignore their orders! Besides, even if they pay attention, what good countermeasures can they make in their current state? Forget it, I can be considered as fulfilling my wishes and expressing God’s will! The generals of the Youzhou Army are not fools. They will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. Whether this order can be conveyed is still a different matter!
Sure enough, when Zhu Ling was preparing to issue an order, the troops led by Zhao Yun had already started charging! The Jizhou army led by Zhu Ling did not expect that the Jizhou army led by Zhu Ling had expected it, but the Youzhou army led by him had expected it! His natural way, after the stone rain, the Jizhou army would have riots. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can't seize the opportunity and conduct a heavy charge, you will be in vain with your senior brother for so long. Don't be stubborn with your senior brother in the future. You don't have to leave your name behind. You should go home and take your children! Don't embarrass here! Zhao Yun waved his spear and 40,000 Youzhou special flags began to charge! The Jizhou army has just reached this place, and the formation is still a one-line snake formation, which is a great time for his own assault!
The sound of horse hooves sounded from Zhu Ling's left, and then a stream of dust floating up in the sky. The familiar sound of horse hooves immediately made Zhu Ling understand. The Youzhou Army indeed began to attack! Zhu Ling knew that it was impossible, but he did not give up, so he quickly ordered: to form a formation and retreat. Zhu Ling thought it was very good, and he deserved to be a general. He no longer wanted to defeat the Youzhou Army. It was already the greatest victory to be able to preserve some strength! However, in the long queue, the transmission of orders was not so fast. Moreover, at this time, Zhu Ling's army was in chaos. The transmission of this order was even worse.
I saw that the soldiers in the middle of Zhu Ling's army were relatively close to Zhu Ling, and after receiving the order, they honestly followed the order, but the front and rear of the queue were at a loss, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Zhu Ling's army was in chaos. Just when Zhu Ling's army was in chaos, the cavalry of Youzhou came to kill. Such a flat land, fast horses and whip, and a few miles of road, it was not a blink of an eye. When we got closer, the standard attack method of Youzhou cavalry. First, when we were eight hundred steps away from the enemy, each strong cavalry took out the crossbow to carry out the first round of long-range strike. Then we hung the crossbow, set up a spear, and assaulted.
Poor Zhu Ling's troops were marching in a long snake at this time. The soft flanks could not withstand the assault of the strong cavalry of Youzhou. It was like a piece of paper, and it was torn to pieces by someone. The strong cavalry of Youzhou was like a torrent of rolling torrent, unstoppable. After rushing over, it went three miles away without stopping, and then turned its head. At this time, the strong cavalry of Youzhou had already used the power of waist and feet to pedal the crossbow. The second round of attack began again.
Zhu Ling's bad premonition finally became a reality! The last time he was able to escape from Zhao Yun's snatch, he was not so lucky this time! Although his martial arts are pretty good, his personal courage can play a role in this chaos? After all, not everyone is super perverted like Liu Bin! So before Zhu Ling had time to camp, he was shot into a hedgehog by the arrow rain of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry! I don't know how to die under the arrow of the unknown baron! And Zhu Ling's flag was also cut to the ground under the impact of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry! With the fall of Zhu Ling's flag, the trained Youzhou cavalry shouted loudly at the same time: "Zhu Ling is dead, those who kneel down to surrender are exempted from death!"
The roar of thunder shook the entire battlefield. The remaining Yuan Shao's troops, when the commander was dead and he had no way to escape, knelt down and asked for surrender. Many of these Jizhou troops were originally Liu Yu's troops, and they didn't want to be enemies with the Youzhou army and did not want to be loyal to Yuan Shao. In addition, the Youzhou army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, surrendering to the Youzhou army might have a good life, so surrendering to the Youzhou army is not a difficult task!
With the surrender of Zhu Ling's army, the battle ended in a short time. Seeing this situation, Zhao Yun and Zang Ba nodded with satisfaction! This situation was already within their expectations! They have now achieved their set goals, can convey to the lord, and can do a big battle to create opportunities for themselves, and at the same time make a small fortune! The Youzhou Army is very satisfied with this battle! The reason why they make a small fortune is that these prisoners, except for selecting some elite soldiers and supplementing the Youzhou Army, can all trade as slaves, and everyone in the Youzhou Army will not fail! Of course everyone is happy and satisfied!
With this war, the Youzhou army ended with the complete victory, but Yuan Shao's Bohai City was once again tested. After the Youzhou camp was built, although there had never been a siege. However, the call for persuasion to surrender never stopped. And when night came, there were a large number of leaflets and books of persuasion to surrender, and the crossbow arrows shot into the city, which made people in Bohai City panic. Now, Zhu Ling's head was even more provoked in front of the Youzhou camp. The pressure in Bohai City was even greater, and a storm was brewing.
Bohai City was in riots, and Yuan Shao's second army set out soon, and they rushed towards Bohai City! The second army was led by Zhang He and Gao Lan, leading an army of 100,000, with Xu You as the military advisor. He advanced wildly. Although Zhu Ling's first army had been completely wiped out by the Youzhou army, and there was no one who missed the net. However, Xu You felt that it was a little wrong at this time. The three armies sent troops separately, and the request was echoed from the beginning and the end. Zhu Ling, as the first army, should report the process to his second army every day. It has been three days. Why is there no news at all? Moreover, according to the distance, Zhu Ling should have led the army to join Chunyu Qiong and the others. Then we should report the battle situation and the movements of the Youzhou army to his second army. Could it be that the first army has encountered something unexpected?
Xu You informed Zhang He and Gao Lan. Zhang He and Gao Lan were ranked second among the "Four Pillars of Hebei" as a rare general in the Jizhou army. Although they were not as proud as Wen Chou and Yan Liang, their abilities were not worse than Yan Liang and Wen Chou! So they also felt that something was wrong. But now all this is speculation and there is no real evidence. Everything can only be cautious. So Zhang He and Gao Lan's 100,000 troops marched more cautiously, and sent more horses to explore, and farther away.
However, although they were cautious and advanced step by step, although the army was much safer, the speed of the army was much slower! Moreover, they did not find any suspicious places along the way. Apart from some traces of Zhu Ling's army's marching, there were no signs of fighting! So they could finally breathe a sigh of relief! They also felt that the slow movement was too delayed, so they ordered the troops to advance as quickly as possible!
