Chapter 291: The Worst Yuan Shu(1/2)
"Yuan Shu has replaced a new vanguard general..."
Yang Ye, who was stationed in Xiaopei, heard the news and once again had the idea of attacking Zhang Xun.
"Yuan Shu's new general will definitely be on guard this time and not take risks."
"False and true, Zhang Xun must not have thought that I would dare to attack again."
Yang Ye pushed his proactive tactics to the limit and secretly led 7,000 cavalry away, leaving only 2,000 cavalry in Xiaopei to confuse Yuan Shu's spies.
Yuan Shu's army set out from Xu County, gathered troops and horses along the way, and waited for almost two months before entering the country of Pei.
Unless you are willing to spend a lot of money to use the teleportation array, the normal marching speed is indeed quite slow.
If it is an elite legion, using the teleportation array can carry out a quick raid, but it is not necessary for ordinary soldiers and horses.
"Zhang Xun has taken over Pei's army and reorganized the 40,000-strong army. Morale has been restored to 80%!"
"Let him be prepared for Yang Wudi's sneak attack."
Yuan Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that General Zhang Xun had regrouped and the lord of Pei State was still willing to rely on him.
"How far is it from Xiangxian County (the seat of Peiguo)?"
"Less than twenty miles."
"Soon my 150,000... no, 140,000 troops will sweep across Xuzhou, and I will be able to..."
Yuan Shu's power ostensibly covers the entire Yuzhou, including Jiujiang County in Yangzhou and Nanyang County in Jingzhou, making him the prince with the largest territory at present.
As long as Xuzhou is captured, it seems that no one south of the Yellow River can fight with it.
The next step is to proclaim himself emperor.
Yuan Shu did not realize that his power was just an empty frame put together by many alien lords.
Yuan Shu brought an army of 100,000, Pei also had Zhang Xun's 40,000 troops, while Xiaopei and Pengcheng together had only 30,000 defenders.
The winning ticket is within reach.
"Report, our scouts encountered enemy cavalry scouts!"
Yang Ye's seven thousand cavalry once again penetrated deep into the enemy's territory.
For Yang Ye, leading the light cavalry to attack was no different from a routine matter. The only time he missed was when he was discovered by Hua Mulan's war eagle.
At this time, after Yang Ye joined the Xuzhou camp, he had no natural enemies and was able to give full play to his abilities!
Yang Ye summoned a group of centurions for pre-battle mobilization: "The enemy must soon know that we have arrived near Xiangxian County. If we are timid at this time, we will return without success and be ridiculed by Yuan Shu for being weak and incompetent. It is better to go straight to them."
Command the flag, kill the generals and seize the flag to show off the power of our army!"
Yang Ye's cavalry were his old troops in Guangling County. They had been friends with Yang Ye for several years and knew the temper of their general. They all replied: "General, just charge into the battle. We will follow you life and death!"
Seven thousand cavalry left their place and rushed towards Yuan Shu.
"Lord, something bad is going on, something is going wrong."
Military advisor Yang Hong came to report in a panic.
"Why is the military advisor so panicked?"
"Zhang Xun sent his cavalry to warn you that an enemy cavalry is coming from behind. Villages and towns have discovered its traces. Please be careful, my lord!"
"How dare Yang Wudi!"
Yuan Shu couldn't help but be afraid.
Yang Ye's cavalry didn't take him seriously at all!
The front army of one hundred thousand troops suddenly made a noise, which alerted Yuan Shu.
"Why are the former soldiers so alarmed?"
"There is an enemy cavalry attack. General Ji Ling has gone to pursue him. General Ji Ling plans to capture Yang Wudi and offer him to the lord!"
"Let Ji Ling come back!"
Yuan Shu was angry at the recklessness of his generals.
If he had a general like Yang Ye, Pei would not be defeated so easily.
However, it was too late. Yang Ye used some of his cavalry to attract the attention of Yuan Shu's scouts and vanguards, and personally led two thousand cavalry to attack Yuan Shu's commanding flag!
"Xuzhou Yang Wudi is here!"
Yang Ye and his cavalry came galloping over, shouting the name of the general, and marching in high spirits!
The alien lord troops on the periphery were the first to be attacked by Yang Ye and quickly collapsed!
Yang Ye killed dozens of people with his own strength and then chose an ordinary general to get off his horse!
Two thousand cavalry lined up in a cone formation, using Yang Ye and several centurions as a breakthrough point to quickly cut through Yuan Shu's central army! Their target was Yuan Shu's commanding flag!
The unsuspecting Yuzhou soldiers were defeated and fled in all directions. In order to save his own army, the Yiren lords gave up protecting Yuan Shu and retreated separately. Deserters were everywhere. If it was just scattered deserters, forget it, this time they fled in an organized manner. There was no difference.
The human lords will fight for Yuan Shu, but only Yuan Shu's own soldiers fight to defend Yuan Shu, because the salary of the soldiers is paid by Yuan Shu.
"Escort!"
Lei Bo, Chen Lan and other third-rate generals guarded Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu faced Yang Wudi's surprise attack and fled to a mountain grave. A dozen third-rate generals and more than a thousand soldiers protected Yuan Shu.
"Put up a spear formation!"
Chen Lan asked the soldiers to rely on the terrain and form a phalanx of spears, with hundreds of spears pointing forward. The hillside could prevent the cavalry from charging, and with a dozen third-rate generals, they could barely stop Yang Ye.
Yuan Shu was disheveled and found that his sword had been lost due to the panic just now.
"Is my lord okay?"
"It doesn't matter for now."
Yuan Shu looked calm on the surface, but he was actually panicking inside.
He looked at the scattered army below the mountain tomb. The 100,000-strong army looked like a mighty force during the march. At this moment, it was like a flock of birds and beasts dispersed. Even though Yang Wudi's cavalry galloped through the army, hundreds of people were injured and killed, and many soldiers were killed by him.
People were trampled to death.
"Yang Wudi is truly a brave general, why have I never heard of him before?"
When Yuan Shu saw Yang Ye, who was leading the cavalry among thousands of people, as if he were in a deserted place, his liver and gallbladder were split.
"Lord, he, he is coming to kill you!"
Chen Lan pointed at Yang Ye's two thousand cavalry and saw Yang Ye heading straight towards Yuan Shu!
Yuan Shu hurriedly looked at the strong man holding the flag and was shocked. It turned out that the handsome flag had been following Yuan Shu.
“Is God going to destroy me, Yuan Gongli?”
Yuan Shu faced Yang Wudi and was trapped on the hillside, calling the sky for help.
"Yuan Gongli comes out to fight!"
Yang Ye led two thousand cavalry to attack a hundred thousand troops. Not only was he fearless, but he called out to Yuan Shu.
More than a dozen generals under Yuan Shu looked at each other, but no one dared to go down the mountain to fight Yang Ye.
This is a ruthless character who dares to attack an army of 100,000 soldiers with two thousand cavalry!
Yuan Shu was breathing rapidly and his two fingers were trembling. It was only with the help of his guards that he did not collapse to the ground.
Yang Ye originally wanted to dismount and chase Yuan Shu on foot, but he saw the spear phalanx on the hillside, which would be difficult to conquer for a while. Among Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops, the troops loyal to Yuan Shu were encircling him, and some foreign lords had already reorganized their troops.
"Come with me!"
Yang Ye frightened Yuan Shu and charged out calmly, no one dared to stop him!
After Yang Ye's cavalry passed by, hundreds more corpses were scattered.
"Yang Wudi seems to have retreated."
Not only Yuan Shu, but also Yuan Shu's generals relaxed.
Just now they felt the fear of being dominated by Yang Wudi. Yang Wudi didn't take them seriously at all.
Yuan Shu's troops began to clear the battlefield, and Yuan Shu, his generals, and soldiers left the hillside.
Although the soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield, Yuan Shu estimated that at least a thousand people died in the rebellion. The most serious thing was the low morale, which made all the soldiers frightened. It will take time to restore morale.
Yuan Shu walked with a grim expression on the battlefield littered with corpses. Yang Wudi was more powerful than he imagined.
Yang Wudi played almost no role under the prefect of Guangling County because his opponent in the Battle of Xuzhou was Xue Rengui. After Yang Ye joined the Xuzhou camp and faced Yuan Shu's camp, he was able to kill everyone and move forward in every direction.
"Yang Wudi is back!"
Before Yuan Shu could get angry, Yang Ye led the cavalry to kill a carbine!
Yuan Shu was completely frightened, and with the help of his own soldiers, he fled to the hillside to set up defenses again.
Yang Ye's sudden counterattack caused Yuan Shu's army to be completely defeated.
Yang Ye killed another of Yuan Shu's generals in the rebellious army, and his cavalry killed a thousand people. He wanted to capture Yuan Shu alive, but when he saw Yuan Shu running away again, he walked away.
