Great Military Division

Chapter 417: Chen Gong's Plan

Chapter 417: Chen Gong's Plan
But at this moment.
In the narrow road of Luliang Mountain.

Chen Gong led the soldiers and horses to walk slowly, always on guard.

Although he is in charge of the rear, he is only intercepting, so there is no need to pursue speed too much, and being careful not to cause accidents, so as not to be missed by Zhang Kan hiding in the mountains, is the kingly way.

After all, most of this narrow road is relatively narrow, but there are still some parts that are relatively wide and can accommodate enemy ambushes, so everything must be careful.

The entire team is already fully armed. Even when sleeping at night, they must hold their weapons and must not remove their armor. They are always in a state of nervous defense.

At this time, the team was moving slowly.

Suddenly there was a long-lasting announcement in front:
"Report—!"

Chen Gong looked up.

But seeing, my own scout came galloping on horseback, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "military division, about ten miles ahead, we found Zhang Kan's defeated army, with about 5000 troops, coming towards our army."

"5000 people?"

Chen Gong couldn't help being amazed.

This means that Zhang Liao's ambush in Luliang Mountain consumed half of the opponent's troops at once. Such a record is simply shocking, and it can be called a complete victory.

"Yes."

The scout nodded with great certainty: "The villain has observed carefully, and there should be only more than [-] people."

Chen Gong secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, continue to investigate."

The scout cupped his hands: "Here."

At this moment, Chen Gong's hanging heart was completely relieved.

With a smile on his face, he knew that Zhang Liao understood that what he was carrying was recruited soldiers, whose combat power was far inferior to the elites under his command, so when he first ambushed, he tried to kill the opponent's soldiers as much as possible to help him relieve the pressure. pressure.

When you meet such a partner, what else can you say?
Chen Gong could only do his best, according to the original plan, set up a defensive formation, completely cut off the opponent's return, and then waited for Zhang Liao to lead his troops back to help, flanking back and forth, so as to completely wipe them out.

Chen Gong raised his eyes to look at the mountains on both sides. The mountains have a certain slope, which is a relatively powerful attack point. The road in the middle can only accommodate about 60 to [-] people, which can barely be called narrow.

"Have it!"

Chen Gong thought like lightning, and combined with the terrain conditions at the moment, he made a decision: "Where are Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan?"

At that moment, Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan took a step forward, bowed their bodies and cupped their hands and said, "The end is here."

Chen Gong said softly: "Do you still remember our third defensive strategy?"

"Of course!"

Without hesitation, Cheng Yin blurted out: "Flying geese."

Chen Gong nodded: "That's right! It's the flying geese formation. You and the others distributed their crossbowmen on the left and right hillsides, gathered the elite infantry in the narrow passage, and prepared to face Zhang Kan's rout."

Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan glanced at the mountains on both sides, and immediately understood how to set up the formation: "Military commander, don't worry, just leave it to me."

Chen Gongen said: "Okay, you will go on your own."

Immediately.

The two immediately greeted the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and began to arrange the formation.

For so many years, Zhang Liao followed His Majesty to conquer Dong Zhuo, and he was always influenced by His Majesty's subtle influence in the formation of troops, and it was no different this time.

In fact, long before the start of the war, Zhang Liao and Chen Gong analyzed the various situations that would occur during the whole process, as well as the strategies for ambush, defense, and attack that should be in place in the mountainous state.

Yes!

Chen Gong's thinking was very clear, and the decisions he made were timely and effective.

So much so that Cheng Yin and the second general candidate under his command can participate in it without too much guidance, and complete the formation as quickly as possible, thereby improving combat efficiency.

as predicted!

The soldiers and horses on both sides began to move in an instant, and soon entered an ambush state.

And what Chen Gong needs to do is to mention the other party's details and make some adjustments.

Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan stepped forward, bowed their bodies and cupped their hands: "Military division, how are you?"

Chen Gong nodded and nodded: "En, very good, almost no flaws."

"Report—!"

At this moment, the scout's voice came again from the front.

Chen Gong looked up, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he waved his hand to interrupt, and asked directly: "How far is Zhang Kan from here?"

The scout replied: "It's less than three miles away."

"very good!"

Chen Gong nodded in satisfaction.

It only took them about seven miles of marching time to set up the defensive formation.

It is enough to prove the efficiency of its soldiers and horses, how efficient it is: "Can you find the opponent's scout?"

The scout bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The opponent's investigation distance is about three miles, and two people have been shot and killed by our army. It is very likely to arouse the opponent's suspicion. Please make a decision early."

"Walk."

Chen Gong has already made preparations: "Go to meet them, remember, you only need to fail, not to succeed, after luring them into this place, listen to my orders, and then fight back."

Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan clasped their hands together and said, "Here."

******
"what?"

The disheveled Zhang Kan stared like a bell, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Two of our scouts died?"

The scout lowered his head, and nodded with an acknowledgment: "That's right, he was shot and killed. I think there are soldiers and horses ahead."

Zhang Kan gritted his teeth, furious, and with a clang, he drew his sword out of its sheath: "Brothers, there are pursuers behind and obstacles in front. Now it is already a time of crisis. If you want to survive, you can only rush out and fight with the enemy!" Hu Bang meets."

"Those who are not afraid of death, come with me!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Kan waved his hand fiercely, and shouted sonorously: "Get out of Luliang Mountain! Break through the encirclement! Follow me to kill!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!"

present.

The black soldiers and horses started to gallop forward with their weapons in hand.

After a short walk, I saw Chen Gong leading Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan coming.

The two were on the left and the right, killing each other with two iron guns, and they didn't even bother to answer each other, so they rushed forward like two sharp knives, piercing in without any fancy:

"Follow me to kill—!"

"kill-!"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded.

The two torrents collided like this, as if in the blink of an eye, the sound of Jin Ming continued, broken limbs and arms flew wildly, and people kept falling down and being buried in this narrow passage.

The soldiers and horses of Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan are all their own trilogy. Although they are already from Nanyang Hanting, it is really difficult to raise the equipment and training in a short time.

Therefore, in this confrontation, Zhang Kan felt that the opponent's strength was weak, and he was definitely not a strong soldier like Zhang Liao. Therefore, he was more confident, not only could break through smoothly, but even fight back, revenge .

"Humph!"

With a soft snort, a faint disdain appeared on Zhang Kan's face.

He pointed his long sword forward angrily, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, these guys are all bad soldiers, they are definitely not our opponents, rush over to me, kill them, and avenge the dead brothers."

The morale of the generals skyrocketed, one by one carrying weapons, like wild wolves, rushing forward, it seemed that even they felt the weakness of this army.

Clang!Clang!Clang!
Jin Ming exploded, sparks splashed.

The opponent's attack was extremely swift and violent, and there was quite a desperate momentum.

Chen Gong, who lived in the rear, felt that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered sonorously: "Quick retreat! Our troops are too small, we are not their opponents, we should save our strength first, and wait for General Zhang to come to support us."

"Here."

At that moment, Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan responded, and then shot feignedly, turned around and left: "Brothers, retreat quickly, don't want to fight."

"General Cheng, let's go quickly, I'll come back."

"Let's go together!"

"it is good!"

Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan turned their horses around immediately and stood behind. After harvesting the enemy's lives one after another, they barely separated the team from the enemy and embarked on the road to defeat.

Zhang Kan seemed to be on the top, how could he give up the hard-won victory easily: "Brothers, give me a chance to chase after the victory and kill Luliang Mountain with all my strength."

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!"

Rolling waves, followed closely behind.

Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan were "tired of coping" and fought and retreated.

Zhang Kan's army bites very tightly. If Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan hadn't been killed, this army would have suffered greater losses, but it was precisely because of this that it seemed that the entire retreat was more real.

They were originally only three miles away from the ambush point, and under such a frenzied pursuit, they soon entered the encirclement circle set up by Chen Gong.

At this moment, the crossbowmen on both sides of the mountain were already ready, one by one, they twirled their bows and set up arrows, aiming at Zhang Kan's army below, and only waiting for an order, arrows would rain down from the sky.

Come closer!
A little closer!
A little closer!
Finally, Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan entered the end of the flying geese.

This means that Zhang Kan's soldiers and horses have entered the encirclement to the greatest extent.

Although there are still a large number of soldiers in the rear, they have not been able to enter, but even so, it is enough for the other party to drink a pot.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Gong gave an order: "Quick, release the signal arrow!"

The messenger nodded, and with a whoosh, he let out a loud arrow towards the sky.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers stood on the hills on both sides. They held strong bows and crossbows.

Zhang Kan, who was caught off guard, stared at the arrows coming from left and right like locusts, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, and the sound of exclamation went straight into the sky, and his panic was beyond words.

Not only Zhang Kan himself, but also the soldiers beside him were also frightened by this sudden wave of death, and the shit was broken.

Many soldiers even forgot to block with their knives, and were shot into hedgehogs by the arrows all over the sky. The sound of panic accompanied them and fell to the ground, shocking the minds of the neighbors, and the morale that was originally high fell to the bottom in an instant. .

Just a simple wave of arrows rained down, and a large number of enemy troops fell to the ground. In the narrow road of Luliang Mountain, people turned their backs on their backs, and there was a dull puffing sound, which was the terrible sound of arrows piercing into the flesh.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

Zhang Kan is also a seasoned fighter at any rate.

He picked up the long sword and slashed left and right, interrupting the incoming arrows one after another, only one arrow hit his left arm, making him howl, almost staggered, and fell to the ground.

But even so, he still endured the severe pain and shouted at the top of his voice: "Quick! The rear team becomes the front team, retreat slowly, and leave the opponent's ambush circle!"

"retreat-!"

The sound was like a bell, and it sounded like a thunder.

This roar reverberated in the valley without stopping!
but
Now that he has entered Chen Gong's encirclement, how could Chen Gong let him go easily.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Gong ordered again: "Fight me back!"

At that moment, Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan turned their horses around immediately, and took the original routed soldiers to become the attacking side, so as to nibble away at each other step by step and keep pushing the geese forward.

The crossbowmen on the hillside followed up one after another. While moving forward and downward, they twisted their bows and set arrows, and kept firing arrows at the place where the opposing soldiers gathered, so as to deal the greatest damage in the shortest possible time.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Just as Zhang Kan's soldiers and horses turned around, the second wave of arrows followed, followed by the third wave, the fourth wave, and the fifth wave. Save shot.

This almost crazy arrow rain attack was like an avalanche, causing Zhang Kan's army's formation, and their will to fight, to splatter hideous blood as their bodies completely collapsed.

At this moment, Zhang Kan's army was completely panicked. No matter how he roared or how he tried to stabilize the morale of the army, it was useless. Under the destruction of the will to survive, they ran aimlessly and roared like crazy.

The soldiers who were originally in the rear were lucky. The hesitant road was relatively narrow and the pursuit was too eager. Therefore, they did not enter the ambush circle. life.

The soldiers at the front were miserable. They were faced with the attack of the crossbow and the encroachment of the two generals Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan. Even if they didn't die under the crossbow, they were buried under the sword and axe.

but
The most tragic thing is not the soldiers who were originally at the front.

It was the soldiers who were originally in the middle.

When they were attacked by arrows like torrential rain, they turned their directions in panic one by one, and ran almost like crazy. It was a pity to die under the enemy's arrows, but it was truly tragic to die at the feet of their own companions.

This
This is the real reason for the mass death of soldiers in the central region.

They trampled on each other, walked on corpses, scrambling to be the first, all pretending to be fear!
If it weren't for Zhang Kan riding a war horse, it is estimated that he himself might not be able to escape such a huge wave of death.

Looking at Zhang Kan who was shot in the back and escaped from the ambush circle, Chen Gong didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.

After all, when they fired their arrows and started the final ambush, it was equivalent to sending a signal for the general attack to Zhang Liao who came after him at the same time.

Under the front and back attacks, let alone Zhang Kan with residual blood, even Zhang Kan in his peak state may not be able to escape such an attack!
This time, it's hard for them to fly even with their wings!

Chen Gong lightly waved his hand: "Catch me!"

Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan responded sonorously: "Here."

The morale of the generals soared, and they rushed forward one by one: "Kill!"

*****
Have to admit.

The combat effectiveness of Zhang Kan and his group is average, but their ability to escape is really not small.

In just a moment, he escaped from the encirclement with the remnant soldiers and defeated generals, and came to a mountain depression to rest.

Zhang Kan was leaning against the hillside, sitting on a rock, holding a water bag, and gurgling water. After taking a deep breath, he looked around at the soldiers and horses beside him, sighed, and tried to ask:

"How many people do we have?"

"Less than a thousand people."

The soldier handing water beside him answered with a frown.

"Damn!"

Zhang Kan was so angry that he wanted to squeeze the water sac to burst.

He frowned and fell into deep thought: "It's not an option to go on like this, otherwise we will definitely die here."

The soldier who delivered the water asked tentatively: "Could the general have a way?"

Zhang Kan raised his head and looked around the stretching mountains, and immediately made a decision: "According to the current method, we can only walk the mountain road."

"what?"

The soldier delivering the water was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Kan raised his finger to the mountain ahead: "It's relatively low there, as long as we climb over this mountain, we will survive if we escape the encirclement of Zhang Liao and Chen Gong."

"But the general."

The soldier who passed the water looked distressed, and said softly: "We have been fighting continuously for a long time, and the soldiers don't even have the strength to walk. How can they climb the mountain?"

"kindness?"

Zhang Kan seemed to sense something was wrong.

Clang!

He quickly drew his sword out of its sheath, laid it across the opponent's neck, and shouted coldly: "What do you mean? Do you want to surrender? Let me tell you, there is no place for us in Nanyang, there was no place for us in the past, there is no place now, and there will be no place in the future!"

"How dare you dare!"

The soldiers who delivered the water hurriedly changed their words.

Only then did Zhang Kan put down his long sword, and said coldly: "Let's go, before they catch up, leave quickly, otherwise we will die sooner or later, as long as we can jump out of the encirclement and get out of Luliang Mountain."

"I, Zhang Kan, promise you that each of you can be promoted to a higher level and rewarded ten hangings. After we round Hu Bang, we will take revenge and avenge our dead brothers!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

Just when all the soldiers were motivated by bonuses and were impassioned.

A voice suddenly sounded from above: "You guys are still thinking about revenge?"

Zhang Kan raised his head suddenly, and a shadow blocked his sight, but he could still judge one or two based on the outline: "Are you... Niu Yong, the general under Zhang Liao's command?"

"Good memory, it's this general!"

After Zhang Liao defeated Zhang Kan, while sending people to clean up the battlefield, he arranged for Niu Yong to sneak into Luliang Mountain with his brothers who were in the Funiu Mountains before, in case Zhang Kan got wise in a hurry and escaped into it and hid himself.

After all, Niu Yong lived in Funiu Mountain for five full years. They were originally a team that was good at marching in the mountains, and this time they entered Luliang Mountain, even more so.

After he heard the sound of the arrow, he quickly ran towards the sound, and the soldiers under his command also rushed over, and he found Zhang Kan's remnant soldiers resting here.

original!

Niu Yong wanted to wait until the big troops arrived before attacking.

But who would have thought that Zhang Kan already had the idea of ​​escaping into the mountains and jumping out of the encirclement.

Niu Yong didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately stood up at the risk of death: "My general will come later, if you are willing to surrender, I can report your life."

"but."

As soon as the conversation changed, Niu Yong pointed the sword at Zhang Kan: "You need to tie up this thief and dedicate it to the court!"

Zhang Kan immediately understood that this kid was trying to stir up internal conflicts: "Brothers, they don't have many people. This is just his plan to slow down the troops. Now that we cross the hills, we will definitely jump out of the encirclement!"

"come!"

Niu Yong roared.

Like thunder, like a tsunami, like a landslide.

He took out the only Fuhuo Thunderbolt on his body, and showed it to the enemy below, and said hoarsely: "If you are not afraid of death without a whole body, you will rush up. This general promises to blow him up to the bone!"

In an instant, the enemy soldiers who were eager to try were too frightened to move forward. They glanced left and right, it was you looking at me and I looking at you, as if they were all looking forward to letting others fight the thunder.

"you!"

Zhang Kan was furious. He raised his knife and pointed at the soldiers handing water to him: "Come on, they only have one bomb, once it's used up, it's gone."

"Don't worry, if you die, this general will personally build a tomb for you, and promise to give you a grand burial, and all our soldiers will see you off."

The soldier who delivered the water was trembling with fright, his eyes were full of fear: "General, I...I."

Zhang Kan shouted angrily: "If you don't go, I will kill you now."

"But."

Just as the soldiers handing the water faltered and refused to agree.

Suddenly, a scout rushed back on a fast horse in front, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "General, something is wrong. There is a large group of soldiers coming from the rear. Judging from the flags, it should be Zhang Liao's soldiers."

"Damn!"

Zhang Kan was furious when he heard the words, and killed the water delivery soldier with a knife, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Quick! Charge together, we must climb over this short mountain and jump out of the encirclement!"

"Let's go up together, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky!"

"That's right, let's go together and see who he bombs!"

"."

Facing this group of desperate guys.

Even Niu Yong himself couldn't help being surprised.

There is only an army of less than 50 people beside him, and the rest are scattered in units of five. They should be on their way here, and the pressure to face the opponent's nearly thousand soldiers is really a bit high.

But
At this moment, he had no way out, and he shouted sonorously: "Brothers, we are condescending and have a geographical advantage. We must persist until General Zhang arrives."

All the soldiers put away the Huanshou swords one after another, replaced them with Baodiao bows, drew out their feathers and arrows, and lined up on the ridge, staring arrogantly at the enemy troops rushing up from below.

Although they had already used up some arrows in the ambush before, there were still six or seven arrows in their quiver for use.

Now that the thieves are rushing over, how can Niu Yong and others not attack head-on, and shoot at the nearest enemy army one by one without any fancy arrows.

Simply!
Archery, knives and guns, etc., are compulsory subjects prescribed by the imperial court.

Niu Yong, who has been stationed in Heluo for two years, and the soldiers under his command, all arrows are not low.

Although he was not a perfect archer, his hit rate was definitely higher than that of ordinary soldiers by more than one level.

The most important thing is that Niu Yong's Fuhuo Thunderbolt has never been used. Such a deterrent force made Zhang Kan and his soldiers dare not approach easily, and could only turn sideways, which greatly delayed their speed.

About half an hour persisted.

"kill-!"

There was a strong shout of killing in the narrow passage.

A warrior in battle armor with a horse spear in his hand roared towards him from the end of the curve. He swept across with a spear, sweeping away the soldiers in front of him, and then stabbed fiercely into the enemy formation:
"I am Zhang Liao of Yanmen, anyone who stands in my way will die!"

"Brothers, kill!"
