Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 723 An Encounter
Dozens of miles away in the northeast of Hanoi County, a Han army is slowly advancing.The loose cavalry on both sides kept a distance of a hundred paces from the main team, and the infantry in the center formed a loose marching formation, with spearmen and halberds outside and archers inside, and every three of them carried a large shield.Those who know the art of war can tell at a glance that this lineup is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Once something happens, they will immediately become a sharp knife or a solid shield.

At the forefront of the team was a young general, he was wearing a thick double armor and a tiger helmet, but behind the armor was a scarlet cloak.Although Chu Xiaqi's attire is a bit out of date, but if you are really familiar with the Han army, you will know that when you see this cloak, you should not provoke this army.

In the Han army, wearing a cloak behind the armor is a fashion, and it is a kind of honor.After all, although this kind of wearing method was spread by the emperor's confidant, Xiliang Brocade Ma Chao, it was the emperor of the Han Dynasty who really made it flourish: every year when the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty faced off against each other, only those who ranked first Only the top five generals will be rewarded with such a brocade robe and cloak by the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

In other words, this troop was at least the troop that had entered the top five in the Han Army Grand Competition.Nowadays, there is no better soldier in the world than the Han army, and the general army will face a very miserable end against the elite of these elites.

But Guo Yuan in the Yanjin camp obviously didn't think so.His credo in life is: If you want to challenge, you must naturally challenge with high difficulty.

What's more, since Yuan Cao's battle, he has never had a chance to fight, and can only guard the place on the west side of Yanjin, which really suffocates this fierce and belligerent general.

Of course Guo Yuan knew what his mission was.However, news has recently spread that the Han Dynasty seems to have uncovered Yuan Jun's cooperation between the inside and the outside.As a result, Guo Yuan's [-] troops could only waste time in this place, doing nothing.

In response to this situation, Guo Yuan asked Yuan Shao to order him to join the main battlefield against Cao Cao several times, but Yuan Shao seemed to still have expectations for Chang'an City, and always rejected Guo Yuan's request.

During this period, Guo Yuan could only follow Yuan Shao's orders and harass Hanoi County from time to time.However, Sima Fang, the prefect of Hanoi, is a mature and prudent Hanchen, who is used to seeing big scenes.Facing Guo Yuan's provocative intentions, he seemed to know it well.

In response to Guo Yuan's harassment, Sima Fang only adopted one method that remains unchanged: pretending to be a grandson.

He closed the gates of Wen County tightly, and summoned all the people from outside the city into the city. All the food from outside the city was collected, and those who could not come in, he let Guo Yuan's soldiers dig potatoes in the mud.Because of this, every time Guo Yuan harassed, it was like a group of beggars begging outside the city, which made the Hanoi county soldiers laugh endlessly—this made Guo Yuan's already anxious heart even more irritable and angry.

Therefore, when the scouts informed Guo Yuan of the discovery of the strong Han army, Guo Yuan felt as if God had opened his eyes: finally, instead of making small troubles, he could have a quick fight.

Unfortunately, things were not as wonderful as Guo Yuan expected.

"What? You said that there were only more than [-] strong soldiers in the Han Dynasty?" After finally hearing the whole news, Guo Yuan couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "What kind of general is that, just a fellow named Li Yan? Among the famous generals of the Han Dynasty, is there such a number one person?"

"General, don't underestimate this man. Although Li Yan and Li Zhengfang are not well-known among the famous generals of the Han Dynasty, it is said that the five-featured army under him was carefully built by the emperor, and he wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with the two powerful armies of Huben and Yulin. Equally famous and powerful army. Since the Han Dynasty, the three armies of Huben, Wuguan, and Yulin have always been the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty. The emperor entrusted this important task to Li Yan, so Li Yan must have something extraordinary." Shi Junti still knew a lot about it, seeing Guo Yuan's disapproving look, he immediately stepped forward to dissuade him.

"What kind of bullshit strong army! The Han Dynasty likes to make some false names like this. The Huben Army is no more than the Southern Army defending the capital, and the general Xu Huang is no more than a white wave of grass bandits; the Habayashi Army is said to be composed of Youzhou Baimayi Cong, but later The emperor handed Baima Yicong to Zhao Yun again, what else is there for the Yulin Army? Especially this Li Yan, who has never heard of it, why is he in the top five in the Han Army University Competition, if I go, I am afraid I will go back First!"

Guo Yuan felt that he had been humiliated. His general, with [-] troops in his hand, actually dealt with a mere [-] Han troops.But at the same time, he didn't know that he had diverted the topic: for example, why this Han army suddenly appeared here.

However, in Guo Yuan's view, these issues do not need to be considered at all.He didn't want to know the reason, he just needed to know that there were only two thousand Han troops, and he could just kill them and defeat them.

So, before Xin Ping could speak again, Guo Yuan got on his horse, raised his sword and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "All follow, this time I will surround this Han army and kill them all! "

"General, don't do it!" Xin Ping wanted to hold Guo Yuan's horse to stop it, but the horse was about to jump out, could a scholar like Xin Ping hold it back?Seeing the war horse raised its front hooves and neighed for a long time, Xin Ping was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a pale face.

Seeing this, Guo Yuan couldn't help laughing, and then galloped away.And those personal guards behind him galloped past Xin Ping, leaving behind a series of chaotic laughter.

This kind of blatant irony made Xin Ping immediately give up his plan to notify the senior officials nearby.After he got up, he just wrote a letter blaming Guo Yuan for ignoring dissuasion and attacking rashly, and sent someone to the front line as soon as possible.As for whether Guo Yuan is dead or alive after that, he no longer wants to care about it.

"Enemy attack!"

Frightened cries suddenly sounded from among the Han army, and all the Han army quickly lined up at that moment.The spears and halberds were tilted slightly, and the bows and crossbows were stringed, so that they could respond to the battle in front of them at any time.

Such a move by the Han army made Guo Yuan in the Mercedes-Benz excited. From the series of reactions just now, Guo Yuan could see that Li Yan's subordinates were indeed of a certain level, and they did not neglect the details of the battle.

However, if that's all it is, it's not worth looking forward to!
Guo Yuan immediately gave the order to attack.But this time it was not his [-] troops that attacked, but his [-] guard cavalry.These well-trained Yuan Jun cavalry began to yell at the cavalry to change their formation. Half of the cavalry took off the short spears on the winning hook, lay down their bodies, and lined up in a horizontal row. Everyone was half a distance from their companions. The width of the horse's body; the other half took off the bow and arrow on the shoulder, keeping a distance of ten steps in front of the lance.

This is the most standard Karasuma-style attack formation. Guo Yuanjiu has naturally acquired these tactics when fighting Karasuma in northern Xinjiang.Although this method of warfare was not as swift and violent as the Xiliang iron cavalry, it was more mobile and able to fight for a long time, which was most suitable for Guo Yuan's desire to kill the two thousand Han troops at this moment.

On the plain, five hundred cavalry can deal with more than two thousand infantry.What's more, this is just an appetizer.Guo Yuan hadn't served the real main course yet.

However, what made Guo Yuan angry was that just as his cavalry rushed forward, a cloud of smoke was raised.The scouts from the Han Dynasty returned, no doubt, they had discovered Guo Yuan's intention to encircle them all.The chief general named Li Yan even issued several orders one after another, and the Han army changed from a battle appearance to a breakout formation.

"Oops! You're too careless!" Guo Yuan cursed angrily. At this time, he already knew his siege strategy, and because he was too impatient, he showed his flaws.Obviously, this game could no longer be presented according to his plan, so he could only wave his whip angrily, hoping to quickly shorten the distance between the two armies.

Fortunately, Guo Yuan deployed 3000 people behind this army.If Li Yan wanted to escape back to Hanoi County, he would definitely be entangled by the three thousand Yuan army, and then surrounded and surrounded until he was wiped out.

But Li Yan's subsequent performance was once again beyond Guo Yuan's expectations.Instead of fleeing in a panic like ordinary generals, he chose to break through on the north side—this made Guo Yuan even more angry, because he never liked cunning enemies.

Soon, the two armies were engaged in battle.

However, what Guo Yuan didn't expect was that the [-] troops he sent to the north to intercept Li Yan were broken through by Li Yan with only one contact.The five-official army of the Han Dynasty formed a strange and loose formation. Seven or eight crossbowmen, sword shieldmen, and spear and halberd soldiers formed a whole and rushed forward quickly.However, Guo Yuan and other single swordsmen were easily killed by the Han army under this compound team, as if they were sent up to deliver food.

Guo Yuan saw the fighting style of this five-featured army. Their sword and shield hands protected the crossbowmen. When Yuan Jun rushed over, the crossbowmen shot and killed first, causing chaos.Then even the spear and halberd soldiers took advantage of their long weapons to stop those Yuan Jun who rushed up.Then those sword and shield players took advantage of this gap and massacred Yuan Jun.

This is not a battle at all, it is a show by the Han army!

"Li Yan, I'm going to peel you off!" Guo Yuan roared angrily, commanding his army to gather quickly.This time, he was really irritated!
