Chapter 371 The Battle of Youzhou (2)(1/2)
"kill!"
Infantry and crossbowmen all over the mountains and plains attacked Yuan Shao's camp like a tide. Liaodong's heavy infantry fired thousands of arrows, specializing in armor-piercing heavy arrows to cause a lot of damage to Yuan Shao's army!
The fire arrow team shot out a dazzling rain of fire, covering the wooden fence and wooden arrow tower, nailing it to the wooden plank, and burning! The black smoke billowed, choking the mouth and nose. Even if the crossbowmen on both sides were shooting aimlessly, they might still kill the enemy.
army, because both sides put too many troops into the battle!
The Youzhou battlefield has become a meat grinder, the sky is hazy, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are fighting one after another, the sky is dark and the earth is dark!
For Mingguan, the governor of Liaodong, there was only one chance to capture Youzhou in recent years!
If he misses this opportunity, it may be difficult for him to take over Youzhou again!
Yuan Shao's army adopted Zhao Long's persistence tactics, relied on Jixian, set up camps, turned the field battle into a fortified battle, and delayed the Ming Pass.
The fierce general Chang Yuchun dismounted, armed with a spear and a large shield, and led the Liaodong heavy infantry to attack Yuan Shao's camp!
The heavy infantry of Liaodong are well-equipped, and are good at using compound bows, heavy arrows, and carts to block the rain of arrows. They are extremely good at attacking fortresses!
"Climb the dead soldiers first, and the Euphorbia soldiers will stick to the middle camp!"
Ju Yi and Zhang He followed Yuan Shao's orders and sat in the middle camp. Among them, Ju Yi's first soldiers used Jizhou powerful crossbows to violently shoot at the heavy infantry led by Chang Yuchun. The sharp crossbow arrows roared out, and each Liaodong heavy infantry died from the force.
Under the crossbow! Arrows are flying and corpses are everywhere!
Under the cover of the carriage, Chang Yuchun led the heavy infantry of Liaodong to advance. Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong Army, and Sun Chuanting led the Qin Army of the late Ming Dynasty to the left and right to provide cover.
The cavalry commanded by Chang Yuchun had stronger combat power, but faced with Zhao Long's barrier tactics, he had to dismount and lead the heavy infantry in battle.
More than 60,000 infantrymen of the Liaodong Army engaged in a brutal attack. The Liaodong cavalry was eyeing the defenders. Once the defenders left camp to fight against the enemy, the Liaodong cavalry would immediately step forward and destroy them.
Probably knowing the ferocity of the Liaodong Army, Yuan Shao's army chose to defend it.
"The opponent's carriage is approaching quickly!"
"Where is Team Fire Arrow?!"
"The Euphorbias are ready for battle!"
"Yan Liang and Wen Chou are leading the heavy infantry to prepare for battle. The enemy is approaching!"
In Yuan Shao's camp, the cavalry messengers were quickly notifying the entire army.
In the wild, the player's communication system cannot be used, and military orders can only be transmitted through primitive methods such as cavalry, war drums, horns, and flags.
The carts of the Liaodong Army are very effective. The so-called carts are carts made of thick wooden boards covered with cowhide and iron sheets. They can block most arrows, rockets and even falling rock attacks, and cover the approach of infantry and crossbowmen.
Camp.
This time, using the limited time to fight for Youzhou, Mingguan made sufficient preparations. He brought a large number of carriages to cover the Liaodong heavy infantry and the Tianxiong Army. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qin army launched a massive attack on Yuan Shao's camp and destroyed Yuan Shao at all costs.
, capture Youzhou!
The chariot was shot into a hedgehog by Jizhou's strong crossbow. Even so, the chariot gradually approached Yuan Shao's camp. All the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army, including Zhang He, Ju Yi, and Gao Lan, held their breaths - behind the chariot was hidden a group of people.
Teams of elite infantry and crossbowmen!
"Capture the camp!"
The fierce general Chang Yuchun gave an order and took the lead in leading a group of elite soldiers to rush out from behind the carriage and attack the camp of Yuan Shao's army!
Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting saw that Chang Yuchun was the first to attack, so they immediately ordered all the infantry to come out from behind the carriages and cover Yuan Shao's camp with powerful crossbows!
Ju Yi's soldiers were killed first, and Zhang He's Euphorbia soldiers encountered the Tianxiong Army and other infantry who were also elite units. They started to suffer large-scale casualties!
The Liaodong Army is well prepared and is not someone to be trifled with!
"Take this opportunity to seize the camp!"
Mingguan saw that Chang Yuchun and other generals were already fighting hand-to-hand with the opponent's Euphorbia warriors, so he urged the remaining infantry and crossbowmen to swarm forward.
He also kept cavalry to guard against Zhao Long.
"Cui Jae-sun of Korea is about to unify Korea, and I only have one month. If I sit back and watch the unification of Korea, although I am not afraid, it will be a trouble after all. After one month, regardless of whether Youzhou can be captured, we must return to Liaodong.
.Otherwise, that guy Choi Jae-sun will fight to his death."
Naturally, Mingguan has spies in the Kingdom of Korea. On one side is the Kingdom of Korea that is about to be unified, and on the other side are the few opportunities to compete for Youzhou. He must give up one of them.
Lee Min-cheol, the lord of the southern part of Koryo, failed too quickly. Mingguan originally judged that the confrontation between the north and the south of Goryeo would last for several years, so he launched a large-scale attack on Youzhou. However, Lee Min-cheol was defeated by the offensive of the northern lord Cui Jae-sun.
.
A fierce general shot arrows one after another in Yuan Shao's army. The arrows were all missed. Thirty arrows killed thirty enemy soldiers!
Seeing that the arrows in his quiver were exhausted, he abandoned his quiver, grabbed a soldier's quiver, and shot the Liaodong Army at the front of the camp.
He is so powerful that even the heavily armored Liaodong heavy infantry cannot withstand one of his arrows!
"Hu Lu Mingyue is really a good shooter!"
Yuan Shao nervously commanded the army at the front. He saw the fierce general Hu Luguang he had obtained after returning from Mobei, crossing the Yangtze River in a hundred steps. He couldn't help praising Hu Luguang's archery skills. Hu Luguang, also known as Mingyue, was a fierce general in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
He is brave and resourceful and has been selected as a famous general in the past dynasties. This person has been selected, and he is even better than King Lanling.
Hu Luguang shot and killed enemies one after another in the rebellious army, especially the officers of the Liaodong Army, which caused heavy losses to the Liaodong Army. There were shouts of killing everywhere on the battlefield, and the euphorbia soldiers held iron halberds and spears of the Liaodong heavy infantry to assassinate, shields
The collision with the armor did not affect Hu Luguang's performance at all. His troops persisted and he used a compound bow to target Chang Yuchun, the number one general of Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong!
The compound bow was shaking violently, as if it could no longer withstand Hu Luguang's strength.
If Chang Yuchun could be shot and killed, the loss of Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, would be unimaginable!
One is the three generals of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the other is the second general of the early Ming Dynasty. They are less than a hundred meters apart on the Youzhou battlefield!
Chang Yuchun seemed to feel the danger and used his shield to block the direction of the danger!
An armor-piercing arrow penetrated the cowhide shield, and huge power penetrated out!
After all, the cowhide shield affected the speed and accuracy of the armor-piercing arrows. Chang Yuchun dodged to one side, and the armor-piercing arrows passed through less than a foot away from Chang Yuchun, and the arrow clusters with a gust of wind sank into it.
Ground! Because the arrow shaft could not withstand the violent impact, it broke the moment the arrow cluster sank into the ground!
"What a terrible archery!"
Chang Yuchun rarely encountered such a powerful enemy. Until now, only Murong Xianbei's fierce general Murong Ba could put some pressure on Chang Yuchun. This was the first time he encountered such a terrifying marksman!
Hu Luguang saw that he could not kill Chang Yuchun with one arrow, so he immediately shot a second arrow! The arrow was like a meteor, killing a soldier beside Chang Yuchun!
Chang Yuchun is also a fierce general. When he was on guard, he was not as embarrassed as when he was sniped just now. Instead, he organized his troops to attack Hu Luguang, hoping to kill Hu Luguang!
Hu Luguang wanted to kill a general of the Liaodong Prefect, and Chang Yuchun wanted to kill a general of the Jizhou Mu to break the current deadlock!
"I'm here to help you!"
King Lanling, with disheveled hair and a copper mask, came to attack Chang Yuchun with Hu Luguang!
The relationship between King Lanling and Hu Luguang is close, and they can cooperate with each other to exert powerful combat effectiveness!
The two sides fought fiercely. Faced with such a dangerous situation, Tian Feng, Ju Sue, Xu You, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and other counselors did not continue fighting among themselves. They rarely cooperated with each other and assisted Yuan Shao in mobilizing troops and generals to block the fierce attack of the Liaodong Army.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao had Hu Lu Mingyue and King Lanling, as well as the fortifications of the camp, so he could withstand Chang Yuchun's fierce attack. The other soldiers and generals cooperated to resist Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng.
Mingguan looked at a fierce general who originally defected to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army but was defeated by Cao Cao in the Jinan Kingdom.
The majestic Oboi replied: "Yes!"
Mingguan was still investing a steady stream of other generals and troops, hoping to completely level Yuan Shao's camp.
As generals such as Obai, who were good at commanding cavalry and heavy infantry, entered the battle, Yuan Shao's camp was in danger.
Yuan Shao's army struggled to hold on, with black smoke everywhere and heavy casualties.
"All officers must hold fast! Where is Zhao Long?! He won't betray me, right?!"
Although Yuan Shao is worried about Zhao Long seizing his power, if he is defeated by Mingguan now, his power is likely to collapse. It is no longer the time to worry about Zhao Long seizing power. At this time, winning is the most important thing!
Tian Feng and Ju Shou said to Yuan Shao: "He will never abandon his lord."
"Zhao Long's cavalry has arrived!"
When Yuan Shao's army was in danger, Zhao Long, who was stationed in another camp, led his cavalry and arrived in time!
Han Qinhu, Shi Wansui and other generals led Zhao Long's eagle dogs and led the cavalry to drive straight in and attack the flank of Mingguan!
Mingguan dispatched Murong Ba, Li Chengliang, Zu Dashou and other generals to lead the cavalry to fight Zhao Long. The two sides fought hard, which affected Mingguan to attack Yuan Shao with all its strength!
"General Zhao Long, saving me is like fire or water!"
Yuan Shao's army saw this and thought more highly of Zhao Long who promptly supported Yuan Shao. Furthermore, the soldiers Zhao Long placed in Yuan Shao's army were interested in building momentum for Zhao Long.
Yuan Shao was even more troubled. He had vaguely felt the change in military morale.
On the other side, Hu Ma ordered Lian Po's army to serve as the main force and storm Liu Bei's camp, hoping to capture Liu Bei's camp as soon as possible and seize Youzhou.
Liu Bei fought with Huma outside the camp to form the first line of defense, with the camp as the second line of defense.
Lian Po commanded the heavy infantry to fight fiercely, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei jointly blocked it. The Turkic prince Ashina Sheer was competing with Zhou Dewei's cavalry...
Both sides invested their own troops and horses. Hu Ma could not get any benefits for the time being by dealing with Liu Bei alone. But Liu Bei also felt very uncomfortable. In order to lure Yuan Shao to share the pressure, he only left Zhuo County in his territory. Once the troops and horses were exhausted, they might be annexed by Yuan Shao in the future.
.
"Zhao Long's layout pushed us in front of Hu Ma. Although our pressure has been reduced, if we continue to use up Hu Ma, our few hundred thousand soldiers and horses will probably be completely killed or injured."
To be continued...
