Chapter 282 (2/2)
Ji Ling shook his head and said, ”no, it's not clear who is the chief commander of the enemy if we play a Xu flag among the enemy troops.”
Yuan Shu thought for a while, ”surname Xu? After some time in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had many generals under his command, such as Li Li, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, fan Hou, Hu Zhen, Niu Fu, and Lv Bu, who was in charge of the Bingzhou army. Besides, the rest was nothing. ”
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu was excited: ”Ji Ling, how many soldiers and horses are there in Nanyang County?”
Ji Ling Baoquan Road: ”Nanyang County has more than 50000 troops.”
Nanyang County is a big county, which is no less than Runan County. Before the outbreak of the Yellow turban rebellion, there were more than 2.4 million people. After Zhang Mancheng occupied and Zhu Jian counterattacked, the number of people was less than one million.
When Yuan Shu came to Nanyang County, besides the more than 20000 soldiers left by Zhang Zi, he expanded his troops by 30000 without saying a word. If we talk about the military strength, I'm afraid that he will be respected by all the heroes in Guandong.
Yuan Shu said with a smile: ”our army has more than 50000 people. Can't we deal with 30000 people of an unknown general?”
Having said that, Yuan Shu resolutely said: ”Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Le Jiu, Li Feng and other generals will follow me out of the city, first to break the enemy troops, and then to seize the military pass!”
Under the command of Yuan Shu, 50000 troops gathered in the city, and then they marched out of the city with a large flag of yuan.
How imposing is the 50000 army? The barracks alone would stretch for more than ten miles. Yuan Shu's army was divided into five square formations of ten thousand people, each under the command of four generals of Ji Ling and Zhang Xun. Naturally, Yuan Shu was in charge of a square array of the Chinese army.
The five square arrays of ten thousand people are not far away from each other, and they can see orders from each other. If Yuan Shu waved the flag and commanded at the same time, it would be majestic to march at the same time.Yuan Shu was content to see that he could only see a Xu character general flag in the enemy's army array, but he could not see his face clearly.
The number of enemy troops was about 30000. Yuan Shu immediately sneered.
”The enemy's victory over Lei Bo only depends on the strength advantage. Now that our army is stronger than the enemy, won't we win easily?” Yuan Shu held the whip in his hand and said triumphantly.
”Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, is the left wing, Li fengle is the right wing, forming a wild goose formation to attack the enemy!”
At the command of Yuan Shu, the 50000 army was immediately divided into three parts, forming a ”V” shape to attack Xu Rongjun from the left and right. Yuan Shu's middle army was a little behind, waiting for a fatal attack.
Xu Rong is a middle-aged man, wearing armor on his horse. He is thin and weak, and his face is expressionless.
Xu Rong looked up at Yuan Shu's 50000 army and shook his head gently.
”Give orders to defend the two wings of the enemy and approach the enemy's central army. Five thousand iron horses are surrounded by infantry. Do not move about. Once they are within three miles of the enemy, they should launch an attack immediately.”
Hearing Xu Rong's order, thirty thousand Dong Zhuo's troops beat drums and trumpets to fight forward. The two armies soon fought together, just like two mountains colliding and shouting and killing.
Although yuan Zhuo's army has many troops, most of them are new recruits. They have never experienced battle and are equipped with outdated equipment. However, Dong Zhuo's army is excellent and well-equipped from the sea of corpses and blood.
Five or ten members of Dong Zhuo's army formed a small formation with close cooperation, which made Yuan Shu's soldiers overturn their horses. When the war was not long, Yuan Shu's soldiers did not revive their spirits, but turned around and fled.
”If anyone runs away, I want his life!”
Ji Ling wields a three pointed two edged sword and cuts down one person.
