Three Kingdoms King of the North

"This is a good way." Li Bie heard Guo Si say this, and suddenly felt his eyes light up: "As long as the grain truck is on fire, the Jizhou soldiers will definitely drive the burning grain truck in a hurry. You can lead people to kill from the gap. Regardless of how many of them there are, when infantry meets cavalry, they will only end up being massacred."

Seeing that Li Jue's army was attacking the chariot formation again, Meng Dai, commanding in the center, raised the blade in his hand high, and at the same time shouted loudly: "The crossbowmen are ready!" Two thousand crossbowmen raised their hands The crossbow was aimed at the cavalry rushing towards him, and Meng Dai could only shoot arrows at the cavalry who came into range with an order.

"Let go!" Seeing that Li Jue's cavalry had rushed into range, Meng Dai roared violently, and at the same time swung his weapon forcefully downward.

Two thousand crossbow arrows rose from the chariot formation and flew towards the oncoming cavalry.Although Li Bie had already dispersed the cavalry when charging to prevent the cavalry from being killed by crossbows.However, under such intensive crossbow shooting, more than 300 cavalrymen still fell off their horses.

Seeing Li Jue's cavalry in the distance, Meng Dai couldn't help smiling.Seeing that the crossbowman had reloaded, he quickly gave the order to launch again.Although the effect of this round of crossbow shooting was not as good as that of the previous round, it still managed to kill more than 200 cavalrymen.

Li Bie saw that he was only a few dozen steps away from the shortage of food and grass, so he hurriedly whistled and signaled his cavalry to shoot arrows around the chariot formation.Although there were quite a few crossbowmen in the formation, they were still somewhat powerless against the cavalry circling the chariot formation, and most of the crossbow arrows they fired missed.

A dozen or so of Li Bie's cronies fired prepared rockets at the grain and grass in front of the Jizhou soldiers.The rocket was inserted into the grain bag, and immediately began to burn blazingly.When the Jizhou soldiers in the formation saw the grain cart caught fire, they couldn't help falling into confusion. Some continued to shoot arrows, while others slapped the ignited flames with weapons in their hands, trying to put out the fire on the grain cart.

Seeing the grain cart on fire, Meng Dai shouted at the top of his voice, "Quickly pull the burning grain cart away, quickly pull the burning grain cart away!" His order was faithfully conveyed, and some soldiers put down their hands. Separate the burning grain cart from the other grain carts, so as not to burn the company camp.

There were no more than [-] or [-] grain trucks on fire. If Meng Dai was not in a panic, he could have arranged manpower to put out the fire in the shortest possible time.Unexpectedly, when he suddenly saw the grain cart caught fire, he was in a mess. He only wanted to ask the soldiers to remove the fire grain and grass, but he forgot to arrange manpower to deal with the cavalry who were still circling around the cart formation.

Seeing that there were several gaps in the chariot formation, Li Bie was immediately overjoyed, and quickly led a group of cavalry into the chariot formation, hacking and killing the chaotic soldiers.Even though there were only two or three hundred cavalry rushing in, the Jizhou soldiers were fighting the fire and shooting arrows, and they couldn't do anything to this small cavalry for a while.

"Childishly, General Li has led people into the car formation." Seeing that Li Bie had successfully rushed into the car formation, Guo Bang excitedly said to Li Jue: "Let's lead the army to go up, at most one With the effort of burning incense, we can kill all these cavalry in Jizhou!"

After Li Jue waited for Guo Si to finish speaking, he pulled out the sword from his waist, pointing the tip of the sword obliquely forward, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, come with me! After killing the Jizhou soldiers, you can open your belly and eat a few meals." It's time for dinner."

These cavalrymen under Li Jue have been half hungry and half full recently due to insufficient food and grass.At this moment, when they heard that they would be able to eat enough after robbing the food, they all rushed forward, shouting and screaming, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

After the chariot formation was broken by Li Bie, seeing the chaos in the formation, Hou Cheng immediately knew something was wrong.If Li Jue and Guo Si came to kill them at this moment, their soldiers would suffer heavy losses.Thinking of this, he waved his weapon and rushed towards Li Bie with dozens of his men.He wanted to defeat Li Bie and close the gap in the chariot formation before Li Jue's army arrived.

Some of the cavalry led by Li Bie were still circling around the chariot formation, firing arrows into the circle non-stop, while the other part were slashing and killing Jizhou's infantry in the chariot formation.Hou Cheng led his men to rush towards Li Bie's position twice, but they all retreated.When he retreated for the second time, he found that there was no one around him, and they all died on the way to charge Li Bie.

Not only Hou Cheng was aware of the danger facing the car formation, but also Cheng Yi.He hurriedly led more than 200 infantry and attacked Li Bie from another direction, trying to kill him or drive him out of the chariot formation.

Fortunately, the soldiers in Jizhou knew that their life and death were at stake, so they besieged Li Bie and others desperately, making them unable to gain a foothold in the chariot formation.After paying the price of more than 500 people, Li Bie and a dozen cavalry were finally driven out of the chariot formation.Meng Dai quickly ordered someone to push down the grain cart, blocking the gap opened by the cavalry.

Li Jue and Guo Si came a step late, and by the time they led their people to the outside of the car formation, Meng Dai and the others had already blocked all the gaps.Soldiers on both sides fired arrows across the grain carts, or stabbed each other with spears. It didn't take long for the grain carts to be filled with corpses of soldiers from both sides.

"Damn, it's really hateful." When Li Jue saw that his soldiers and horses were still unable to break through the grain carts to form a cart formation, he couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and quickly ordered: "Within a stick of incense, rush through the cart formation of Jizhou soldiers, otherwise the military marquis Behead all of the above." Hearing Li Jue's order, those officers above the rank of military marquis swung their swords and went into battle, trying to break through the chariot formation in the shortest possible time.

Hou Cheng, covered in blood, came to Meng Dai's side and said to him: "Lieutenant Meng, the situation is extremely dangerous now. If we can't repel Li Jue's troops, we will lose our food and grass."

"Our soldiers are all fighting hard." Meng Dai pointed to the soldiers standing beside the grain carts fighting with Li Jue's army, and said with a sad face, "However, the enemy's army is so strong that we can't resist. I think we still have to fight." Abandon food and go?"

"No, Lieutenant Meng, absolutely not." Hou Cheng pointed to Li Jue's army who was trying to rush into the chariot formation, and said, "The two thieves Li and Guo led their troops to attack to grab food. If this batch of food falls into them In the hands of them, it will make them even more powerful; and our soldiers and horses in the city will not fight because they are out of food."

Neither Meng Dai nor Hou Cheng realized that Cheng Yi's decision was wrong.On the contrary, Meng Dai was even complacent in his heart, thinking that after there were more soldiers and horses in the chariot formation, it would be more difficult for Li Jue's army to break through the chariot formation.As for Hou Cheng, he felt that if the troops stayed on the unobstructed plains, they would be easily attacked by cavalry. Now that they entered the formation of grain carts, the insurance factor was even greater.

Li Jue and Guo Si in the distance were still a little worried when they saw Li Siam return after being defeated.When they saw the soldiers and horses led by Cheng Yi and Hou Cheng actually entered the chariot formation surrounded by grain and grass, Li Jue couldn't help laughing.Li Bie, who was standing beside him on a horse, couldn't help asking curiously, "Uncle, what are you laughing at?"

Li Jue pointed at the formation of chariots in the distance with the whip in his hand, and said with a sneer: "Do they think they can avoid the charge of our cavalry by hiding in the formation of chariots? Don't you lead two thousand cavalry around the chariot?" Since they don't want to leave the car formation, shoot them to death with random arrows."

"Wait a minute," Seeing Li Bie agreeing, he pulled his horse and was about to leave. Guo Bang quickly stopped him: "Little General Li, you can shoot rockets. As long as the grain cart is on fire, the Jizhou soldiers in the cart formation will inevitably be in chaos. , you wait for an opportunity to rush into the car circle."

"Aduo, why use rockets?" Hearing what Guo Bang said, Li Jue asked in a dazed manner, "Didn't you say you can't burn the food and grass?"

"Nowadays, Jizhou soldiers have formed a circular formation with grain carts. Even if we use loitering to kill a large number of their soldiers, it is still very difficult to rush into the circle." Guo Si replied: "As long as the grain and grass are on fire, In order to prevent other grain and grass from being ignited, the Jizhou soldiers will definitely move the grain carts that are on fire. At that time, there will be a gap in the cart formation, and our cavalry can take the opportunity to charge in."

"This is a good way." Li Bie heard Guo Si say this, and suddenly felt his eyes light up: "As long as the grain truck is on fire, the Jizhou soldiers will definitely drive the burning grain truck in a hurry. You can lead people to kill from the gap. Regardless of how many of them there are, when infantry meets cavalry, they will only end up being massacred."

Seeing that Li Jue's army was attacking the chariot formation again, Meng Dai, commanding in the center, raised the blade in his hand high, and at the same time shouted loudly: "The crossbowmen are ready!"

Chapter 303 Li Guo's Great Defeat

Li Jue, Guo Si and others who were about to lead the cavalry to give Meng Dai the final blow suddenly heard the sound of drums behind them. Chang'an's soldiers and horses have arrived?

However, Li Jue still had a sense of luck in his heart. He thought that it was fifty miles away from Chang'an. Even if the grain escort convoy was attacked, he would send people to ask for help. It is impossible for the reinforcements in Chang'an to arrive so quickly. ah?But his idea disappeared with Tan Ma's arrival.

A scout came to Li Jue, clasped his hands on the horse's back, and said, "Report to Chief Sima, a large number of Jizhou soldiers and horses suddenly appeared behind."

"Jizhou soldiers and horses?" Although Guo Bang was shocked in his heart, he still pretended to be nonchalant and asked: "Have you ever found out how many of them there are?"

Seeing that it was Guo Si who asked him the question, Tan Ma quickly said to him, "If you go back to the general, I counted from a distance, at least 3 to [-] people. But most of them are infantry, and the number of cavalry is very small."

Knowing that there are [-] to [-] Jizhou soldiers behind him, even if they are all infantry, it is still a headache for Li Jue.He hurriedly asked Guo Si for advice: "Aduo, what should we do?"

Guo Si turned his head and glanced at the soldiers on both sides who were still fighting in the car formation, sighed and said: "If they come half an hour late, we can finish this food transport team. Now we can only regroup the soldiers and horses. Turn back to meet the enemy."

After hearing the clarion call to regroup, Li Jue's army, who were fighting Jizhou soldiers and horses inside and outside the chariot formation, pulled their horses away one after another.Many Jizhou soldiers who survived the catastrophe sat down on the ground, panting heavily.If Li Jue's army stayed for even half a stick of incense, most of the soldiers would not be able to hold on any longer.

Seeing Li Jue's army regrouping in the distance, Meng Dai hurriedly ordered people to treat the wounded and collect the remains of the fallen soldiers.After Cheng Yi issued the same order, he said to Hou Cheng with lingering fear: "If General Zhao came a little later, I guess our army will be strangled to death by Li Jue's army."

Regarding Cheng Yi's statement, Hou Cheng nodded in agreement, and said: "I didn't expect that the troops of Li Jue and Guo Bang were so powerful. Our 6000 troops were waiting for work at leisure, and we had a chariot formation as a support, but we were almost defeated by them." A whole army was wiped out."

When Meng Dai came over, he happened to hear Hou Cheng's words behind him. He glanced at the direction where the dust rose in the distance, and said to himself: "General Zhao, our life and death are in your hands. You must Defeat Li Jue and Guo Si."

Zhao Yun saw that Li Jue and Guo Si's cavalry were only two miles away from him, so he quickly ordered the army to stop, and formed a formation on the spot, letting the infantry walk towards Li and Guo's soldiers and horses in an orderly manner.

Seeing tens of thousands of soldiers walking towards him in neat formations, Li Jue's army, which was reassembling, seemed a little flustered.Li Bie pointed at the opposite side with his hand, and said to Li Jue: "Uncle, there are too many soldiers and horses in Jizhou, and the younger ones are frightened. Why don't you let your nephew go to fight and at least kill one or two of the opponent's generals? It can restore the morale of our army."

"It's so good." Hearing what Li Bie said, Li Jue nodded and agreed to let him fight: "You go here and promise to win but not to lose, otherwise the military law is ruthless."

Li Bie came to the front of the Jizhou army alone with a spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "I am Li Bie, the captain under the command of Da Sima, who dares to come out and fight me."

Zhao Yun didn't know Li Bie, so he turned to Guo Jia and asked, "Mr. Feng Xiao, who is this?"

"Li Bie, Li Jue's nephew." Guo Jia shook his feather fan lightly and said, "If General Zilong can kill this man, it will definitely boost the morale of our army. But Li Jue's army will become very weak because of the loss of a general. Morale is low.”

Zhao Yun nodded and urged the horse to come out of the formation.Seeing Zhao Yun coming out, Li Bie said triumphantly: "The general will be named, and the unknown person will not die under the gun of our captain."

"It's Zhao Zilong from Changshan!" After Zhao Yun revealed his identity, he didn't talk nonsense with the other party, and shouted: "Look at the gun!" The gentian silver spear in his hand stabbed at the other party like a dragon flying out of the sea.
