Chapter 454: Yizhou's Counterattack
Chang'an City is still firmly in the hands of the Wuling Army. No matter how strong the coalition forces attack, they will not be able to break the already broken ancient city.
Now, Wu Shun came with the personal guard camp. The soldiers also had a clear mind.
During the Battle of Ziwu Valley, the Canglang Legion made contributions. They successfully blocked the fierce attack of the coalition forces and insisted on Wu Shun leading troops to aid.
During the Battle of Ziwu Valley, overall, neither Wuling Army nor the coalition forces found any advantage. At present, Wuling Army and the coalition forces fought endlessly in this area between Chang'an and Hangu Pass.
During the battle between the scouts, the Wuling Army had an absolute advantage, forcing the coalition scouts to change their way of inquiring about information.
The scouts in the army are usually the elites in the army. The scouts of the Wuling Army are the elites selected from the elites.
However, after the coalition forces suffered losses in scouts, they no longer inquire in the form of a small team. Instead, the two teams acted together.
In this way, when they meet the Wuling Army scout team, they can gain an advantage by their number of people.
"Brother, the scout came to report that the coalition forces have arrived ten miles outside the city."
Zhang Xiong rushed to the top of the city and reported the latest military information to Wu Shun.
"The army left the city and destroyed them just outside Chang'an City!"
Wu Shun directly ordered.
"yes!"
Zhang Xiong and Wei Yan responded at the same time.
Now in Chang'an City, only the White Tiger Legion is an infantryman. The Qinglong Legion and the Kaiwei Battalion are both cavalrymen. If you defend the city, you cannot play the role of cavalry.
That's why Wu Shun ordered the army to go out of the city to fight. The soldiers who left the city were mainly cavalry, and the White Tiger Camp also followed him out of the city. With them there, it was a shock to the general.
When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led their troops outside Chang'an City, they saw a neat cavalry formation.
Wu Shun is already waiting for them in front!
"I am a junior high school, Brother Meng De, I never thought that meeting again would be like this! It's so ironic!"
"Zixuan, for the sake of stability in the Central Plains, you should go back to Yizhou. I, Cao Cao, guarantee that as long as the Wuling army retreats into Yizhou, the coalition forces will retreat."
Cao Cao was persuading.
After the Wuling Army obtained Liangzhou, it poses too great a threat to the Central Plains.
Just imagine that Wu Shun had Xiliang Horse Farm to provide war horses, and Hangu Pass was located in the east, blocking external threats. The Wuling Army could grow and grow with peace of mind.
Once Wu Shun felt that the time was ripe, he gave the order and the Wuling Army went out of Hangu Pass in the east. Who could block the Wuling Army's military front at that time?
The main reason why Cao Cao and Yuan Shao united was that Yizhou's strength grew too fast.
When they decide the outcome, they don’t want anyone to get a bargain. Only by forcing Wu Shun to meet Yizhou and sealing off the Wuling Army’s attack on the Central Plains can they feel at ease.
"Chang'an was exchanged for blood and life by our Wuling Army soldiers. How can we say we retreat? The two of us led our troops to attack our level and destroy our city. The past relationship will be abandoned. When we meet, we will be enemies!"
Among the princes, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies. It is all driven by interests.
However, in Wu Shun's opinion, if it is not a friend, it is an enemy. If it is an enemy, it will not become a friend.
The moment Cao Cao and Yuan Shao decided to send troops mean that the friendly disguise with Yizhou was completely torn apart.
Only the battle will last until one side is destroyed!
"Zixuan, my coalition forces are far stronger than you, why bother to struggle?"
Yuan Shao sneered.
They had a total of more than 100,000 troops, while Wu Shun had only more than 30,000 troops in Chang'an. Although the Wuling Army in Yizhou was urgently mobilized, the far water could not save the near fire. Wu Shun still needed to overcome the difficulties in front of him.
"Yuan Benchu, there is no need to say much nonsense. Today's battle is whether you have many coalition soldiers or our Wuling Army is brave!"
Wu Shun hates the guy like Yuan Shao who has one set of people in front and another set of people in the back and has a high opinion of himself the most. Wu Shun is still patient in talking to Cao Cao, so he will be spared if he talks to Yuan Shao.
"Since that's the case, let's fight!"
Cao Cao said.
"war!"
Wu Shun raised the spear in his hand.
The coalition dispatched 50,000 people, including 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. The cavalry was the elite tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army. Among the infantry were the elite halberd soldiers of the Yuan army!
The sound of war drums began to move.
"It's been a long time since I've killed the enemy with my elder brother. The feeling I used to be back, it's great!"
Zhang Xiong looked at the tall figure ahead, with a blazing fire in his chest. When he was still in Yunling, he and his elder brother fought side by side.
"Wei Yan! Pei Yuanshao!"
"The last one will be here!"
"The Qinglong Cavalry is divided into the left and right wings to protect the personal guard camp!"
"I will obey the order!"
Wei Yan and Pei Yuanshao took the order and left.
"Qua!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Together with the Qinglong Legion, set up the crane wing formation and kill the enemy!"
"Abide by the order!"
The two cavalry quickly set up their battle formations, and the coalition forces slowly moved with infantry formations, trying to reduce the range of activities of the Wuling Army.
"Brother, how to fight Baihu Camp?"
Zhang Xiong asked.
"Follow the crane wing formation and kill the enemy with all your heart!"
"yes!"
Zhang Xiong was just afraid that Wu Shun would not take him. After receiving Wu Shun's reply, he laughed happily. The 50,000 troops opposite him did not bring much pressure to Zhang Xiong.
"Gao Shun, command the White Tiger Camp well. I'm going to kill the enemy with my elder brother!"
Zhang Xiong ordered.
"Don't worry, General!"
Gao Shun led the order.
On the other side of the coalition, the two wings were cavalry. As the formation moved, the coalition had already made a semi-encirclement trend.
Faced with the coalition's tactics, Wu Shun ignored it and led the huge crane wing formation composed of the Qinglong Cavalry and the Qinglong Cavalry to rush straight to the opposite infantry!
"Shoot the arrow!"
When the coalition soldiers were preparing to use bows and arrows to scatter, the Blue Dragon Cavalry, who served as the two wings of the Crane Wing Formation, completed the attack first on the battle.
Nearly a thousand casualties were killed and killed in one encounter, and hundreds of them were shot to death.
A vacant suddenly appeared in the coalition army!
"Strike back!"
Cao Cao shouted.
After the coalition soldiers filled the gap, they quickly set off their bows and arrows. After the arrows were shot out, they found that the Wuling Army had rushed to the front. Their arrows flew over the Crane Wing Formation and plunged into the White Tiger Camp square formation.
Will the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp, wearing iron armor, be afraid of arrows? There were jingling sounds coming from the square formation. There were not many soldiers who actually fell down.
Only a few bad guys were shot at the joints and injured.
"The soldiers of Wuling Army obey orders, kill the enemy and make contributions, and promote our army's power!"
He rushed up at a speed and was about to hit the defensive formation of the coalition forces. Wu Shun shouted loudly and cheered the soldiers.
"Kill the enemy and make meritorious service! Promote our military power!"
Following Wu Shun to kill the enemy, the soldiers themselves were full of enthusiasm. When Wu Shun shouted the slogan, the soldiers became even more enthusiastic!
As long as you can follow your lord, go up to the mountain of swords and seas of fire, no one of the Wuling soldiers will frown.
"I've made a mistake!"
Seeing the Wuling Army's arrogance of moving forward and without taboos, Cao Cao knew that they still underestimated the strength of the Wuling Army.
"We should bring the army here and surround him with the tactics of the sea of people!"
Yuan Shao said.
"I hope the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can kill the White Tiger Camp!"
Repelling the White Tiger Camp and attacking the Hexiang Formation of the Wuling Army in front and back is Cao Cao's plan.
Wu Shun asked the White Tiger Camp to follow the cavalry out of the city, and wanted to use the White Tiger Camp to drag the opponent's cavalry. Because the cavalry attacked the coalition infantry formation, they did not break through at once.
Once the speed drops, the cavalry will be very dangerous once it is surrounded.
The Qinglong Cavalry can fight flexibly, but the personal guard battalion has stronger frontal combat capabilities. Moreover, Wu Shun needs to use a frontal attack to tell Cao Cao and Yuan Shao that your ideas are too naive!
Wu Shunping raised his spear and prepared to collide! Zhang Xiong and Qu Ayi protected Wu Shun from the left and right. In the final stage, the two rushed slightly faster than Wu Shun.
"kill!"
boom!
