Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Chapter 99 Yuan Shao's Defeat

When the two armies fought, the arrows were like locusts.

The armies of the two sides, each forming a phalanx, closely followed their respective generals, and fought forward in an orderly manner.

In the air, countless arrows came in wave after wave, but few soldiers would dodge them.

The entire battlefield seemed to be crowded with people, but it was like a machine, and all parties carried out the military orders sent by the Chinese army in an orderly manner.

On this large battlefield of 20 people, personal force is no longer of much use.

All the generals were not so stupid as to single-handedly charged into the opponent's phalanx, but led their own troops to command.

At every moment, there were screams, but everyone knew that going forward would be death in all likelihood, but no one retreated.

Because behind him, the soldiers in his own army also pointed their weapons at him.

The square of the Chinese army that Liu Zhang was in hadn't moved yet. He stood on the chariot, looked from afar, and stared at the entire battlefield.

The sun has reached the sky from the east.

The hot sun shines on people's bodies, making them a little hot.

But no one dared to take off his armor at this time.

The crossbowmen in the rear, under the command of their respective generals, methodically fired salvos round after round.

Waves of arrow rain shot forward, and then fell in a blanket.

Arrows rained down, some arrows stuck on the ground, and some arrows stuck on people's bodies.

The armor worn by soldiers can hardly prevent arrows, and arrows can still penetrate their bodies.

However, the armor worn by the generals is much stronger than that of the soldiers. The arrows are stuck on the armor and penetrate into the flesh without penetrating.

On the battlefield, Yuan Shao realized that the infantry could not start the situation for a while, so he drew his sword and shouted: "Cavalry charge!"

The next moment, the messenger conveyed his order to several generals, and they led the cavalry and began to attack Liu Zhang's army formation.

Liu Zhang's subordinates adopted many methods to deal with the local cavalry's charge. Although they were damaged, they did not collapse.

The battlefield is still anxious.

The sun has begun to move slowly to the west, but the battle is still going on.

In a battle of 20 people, the outcome cannot be determined in a short time.

Liu Zhang looked up at the sun, then looked down at the guards beside the chariot. "Where are Xu Rong, Li Fang, Zhang Liao, and Ma Chao?"

"My lord, I reckon that they should soon reach the rear of Yuan Shao's army."

"Ok!"

Liu Zhang nodded.

As early as the second day after agreeing to Yuan Shao's decisive battle, Xu Rong, Li Fang, Zhang Liao, and Ma Chao each led [-] cavalry out of the camp, and then took a long way to leave near Jinyang.

This move was to prevent being discovered by Yuan Shaojun's scouts.

Farther away, Chen Lu and Luo Fu led five thousand cavalry to harass Yuan Shao's food road.

Today, Yuan Shao's grain and grass are all transported through the Taihang Mountains from wells to Taiyuan County.

As long as his food supply is cut off, Yuan Shao's army will be defeated sooner or later.

The well path is rugged, and there are mountains on both sides. It is difficult to deploy troops, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this time, all the passes in the well were in Yuan Shao's hands. Chen Lu and Luo Fu's Tanqi, after ascertaining the situation of the well, found that it was unwise to attack the well.

So the two of them negotiated and let the enemy's grain transport team pass through the well. After they entered Taiyuan County and left the dangerous pass, they harassed the vast Taiyuan Basin.

The Taiyuan Basin is the largest basin in the entire Bingzhou. The plain is unobstructed and suitable for cavalry operations.

Chen Lu and Luo Fu were very lucky. During the decisive battle between Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao in Jinyang City, the scouts they sent came to report that they had spotted the enemy's grain transport team.

The scouts tried to get as close as possible to the grain transportation team. After careful observation, they found that the grain transportation team had a hundred trolleys. Judging from ten stones per trolley, there was a thousand stones of grain and grass.

But the food transportation team has only 500 people, judging from their appearance, they are just civilians and some second-rate troops.

Chen Lu and Luo Fu didn't need any subordinates, they directly ordered a lieutenant under his command to lead Qianqi to kill the entire grain transportation team in one charge, and then burn them on the spot.

For the next few days, Chen Lu Luofu's five thousand riders did the same thing every day.Send out scouts to find Yuan Shao's food transport team, and then send a large group of people to burn the other party's food and grass.

On the frontal battlefield, after half an hour, Liu Zhang was finally able to see the torrent in the distance. Behind Yuan Shao, there was first a black line, and then three other lines gradually appeared.

Liu Zhang knew that the surprise soldiers he had arranged had finally arrived.

When Liu Zhang discovered that Xu Rong, Li Fang, Zhang Liao, and Ma Chao were approaching the battlefield with cavalry, Yuan Shao's party discovered it in advance.

When his subordinates reported the situation to Yuan Shao, he was furious and asked why the scouts didn't find out, but no one could answer him.

While Yuan Shao was still complaining, the cavalry of Xu Rong, Li Fang, Zhang Liao, and Ma Chao were rapidly approaching Yuan Shao's main formation.

Most of Yuan Shao's 5000 troops had already been dispatched, and he only had [-] troops around him. Facing the [-] cavalry of Xu Rong, Li Fang, Zhang Liao, and Ma Chao, he knew that he could not resist at all.

Yuan Shao hadn't made a decision yet, but Guo Tu saw Yuan Shao's thoughts and immediately suggested retreating.

Feng Ji tightly held the reins of Yuan Shao's war horse, and said loudly: "Master, we can't retreat, the enemy army is coming from behind, we can't retreat!"

"Feng Ji, let go!" Yuan Shao was furious, seeing the enemy cavalry getting closer, he became even more anxious.

However, Feng Ji knew very well in his heart, and he remonstrated: "Soldiers in front, if they see the Chinese army's banner moving backward, they will think that our army has lost, and then it will be unimaginable!"

"Feng Ji, let go of the lord's war horse, we can't retreat, can't we retreat forward?" Guo Tu was still coming up with bad ideas at this time.

The battlefield ahead is so chaotic, what's the use of retreating.

However, although Yuan Shao was in a hurry, he still had brains. He denied Guo Tu's later thoughts and ordered the Chinese army to retreat to the camp.

Xu Rong, Li Fang, Zhang Liao, and Ma Chao resolutely abandoned Yuan Shao's [-] Chinese Army and went straight to the main force in front of Yuan Shao.

Originally, Yuan Shao's main force was desperately resisting the enemy in front, but unexpectedly there were [-] cavalry in the rear.

They didn't have time to organize a decent line of defense, and they were rushed from behind by [-] cavalry, and soon several of their phalanxes were rushed out of the gap.

Attacked from both sides, Yuan Shao's main force could no longer hold back. Even under the command of Yuan Shao's hundreds of generals, [-] Yuan Shao's soldiers could not stop their defeat.

The defeat is like a mountain falling.

Eighty thousand Yuan Shao's main force was defeated by Liu Zhang's army on both sides.

Many soldiers lost their will to resist when they saw that the large banner of the Chinese army in the rear was getting farther and farther away.

Some Yuan Shao soldiers wanted to withdraw from the battlefield, while some Yuan Shao soldiers directly dropped their weapons and surrendered on the spot.

The generals on Liu Zhang's side immediately shouted: "Surrender and avoid death!"
