The combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou Army was not as good as that of the Youzhou Army. When the night attack failed and was ambushed, the morale of the army was instantly wiped out. Naturally, it was impossible for the Bingzhou Army to be the opponent of the Youzhou Army. The three-way night attack force had no chance at all. After organizing a very effective resistance, they were instantly killed by the Youzhou Army. No matter it was Deng Sheng, Zhang Xu or Niu Yao, all they could do was gallop away on horseback in such a field. As for the soldiers under their command, Whether it's life or death, they don't care about so much anymore.
"Report, Sir Envoy, it's not good, the rebel army is well prepared, and all three groups of our army were ambushed by the enemy!"
In order to complete his victory in one battle, Guo Yuan spent a lot of money this time. Not only did he send out three night attack troops at once, but he also assembled the entire army in the open space in front of the camp early, waiting for the troops to be sent back from the front. After receiving the news, he had to launch a general offensive in order to wipe out the main force of the Youzhou Army in one battle. Unfortunately, what he was waiting for was not the good news of his success, but what he was waiting for was that all three of his night attack troops were ambushed. The bad news.
"Damn it! The whole army listens to the order: light the torches and kill!"
Guo Yuan originally had a bad temper. When he heard that all three of his night attack troops had been ambushed, he immediately became angry. He didn't think about the strangeness at all and yelled that he would lead his troops to fight with Youzhou. The army fought for its life.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Dong. The bandit army is well prepared and there must be an ambush. We must not fight at this time!"
Zhu Ao rode his horse and stood next to Guo Yuan. When he heard Guo Yuan's order, he immediately panicked. He didn't dare to delay at all, so he interrupted him from the side.
"Huh? Er'an dares to slow down my military morale?"
Guo Yuan was in the heat of the moment, and he didn't care whether Zhu Ao's words came from good intentions. With a shake of his hand, a sharp sword was placed on Zhu Ao's neck.
"Don Weng calm down, don Weng calm down, you can go and rescue the front army, but our army has to defend the stronghold. Please also ask Dong Weng to leave half of the troops here, so as to stabilize the foundation of our army."
Being forced by the sharp blade like this, even if Zhu Ao was not timid, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. However, even so, he still did not dare to let Guo Yuan attack blindly, so he could only say his sincere words. Pled a lot.
"Hmph, give you ten thousand soldiers and horses to secure the camp, and the rest of the troops will come with you to attack the thieves, attack the thieves, attack the thieves!"
Even though he was in the heat of the moment, after hearing what Zhu Ao said was reasonable, Guo Yuan no longer stubbornly insisted on his opinion. After leaving his explanation, he immediately jumped up and charged towards You, with tens of thousands of troops rushing toward You like thunder. He rushed towards Zhou Daying.
"Quick, all the archers go to the fence in front of the camp to defend themselves. The rest of the troops set up torches, two for each person, to keep the distance!"
Seeing that Guo Yuan rushed out with his troops regardless, Zhu Ao suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart, but he did not give up his last hope. He shouted several orders in succession, and immediately listened. The commands rang out one after another. The three thousand archers quickly retreated into the camp and lined up along the fence to be on guard. The remaining seven thousand soldiers formed a sparse formation, each with two torches. While shouting, he shook vigorously, trying his best to bluff.
"Um?"
Following the attack of Guo Yuan's troops, the three units of the Youzhou Army that were chasing the defeated troops were immediately intercepted. The two armies started fighting in the dark, and it was difficult to tell the difference for a while. , and at this time, Gongsun Mingjiran climbed up to a watchtower in the middle camp, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Bingzhou Army camp. When he saw it, he saw countless torches waving in front of the Bingzhou Army camp, and he couldn't help but frown. It’s just a Yang.
"My lord, there are a lot of troops left in front of the bandit camp. It seems that it will not be easy to completely annihilate the bandit army here."
Not only Gongsun Ming saw the movement in front of the Bingzhou Army camp, but Pang Tong also noticed something was wrong.
"Well...the arrow is already on the string, how can we not fire it? Let's wait and see how well Zihuan's troops fight before we make a decision."
The more troops the Bingzhou Army retains, the more difficult it will be for the Youzhou Army to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Gongsun Ming cannot help but be a little worried about this. However, now that the war has begun, it will be easier to make temporary deployments. It is not an easy task. Instead of making mistakes while busy, it is better to follow the plan step by step. Even if the enemy cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop, it can still severely damage the Bingzhou Army. Once he thought of this, Gongsun Ming no longer planned to make any changes to the original tactical arrangements. .
"My lord is wise."
Seeing that Gongsun Ming had made up his mind, Pang Tong didn't say anything more, and quickly turned his eyes towards the rear camp of the Bingzhou Army.
"Come in and burn it for me!"
Two quarters of an hour passed quickly, and the fierce battle between the camps of the two armies was still continuing. Although the Youzhou Army, which had relatively few soldiers and horses, came to take advantage of the victory and had high morale, it was still difficult to defeat the main force of the Bingzhou Army. The fierce advance gradually became unstoppable, but at this moment, a Biaobuqi suddenly galloped out of the dark night and killed the rear camp of the Bingzhou Army like a sharp arrow. The leading general stood proudly. It's Gao Lan!
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
Gao Lan's troops numbered 10,000, of which there were only 3,000 cavalry, but the momentum of the charge was undoubtedly huge. The sentries of the Bingzhou Army guarding the rear camp were immediately alerted. In an instant, there was an explosion of urgent shouts and horns. Unfortunately, it was of no use. There was nothing else to do. The main force had been taken away by Guo Yuan, and almost all the remaining troops were there. The front camp was bluffing, and there were only more than 3,000 old, weak, sick, and disabled people from the supply camp in the back camp. They had no fighting power at all. Even if they discovered that the Youzhou Army was massacred, they were unable to organize effective resistance. Very soon Soon, as the fence was cut down by the advance team of the Youzhou Army, a large number of Youzhou cavalry rushed into the Bingzhou Army camp like a tide.
"No, the whole army is here. Follow me and retreat to Nanshenze City. Evacuate quickly!"
At the front camp, Zhu Aoben was observing the battle ahead with a sad face. When he suddenly heard that his rear camp was in chaos, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Knowing that there was nothing he could do, he had no intention of leading his troops. After going to rescue the rear camp, he immediately issued an order to withdraw his troops, trying to rush to Nanshenze City to ensure that his main force would not be completely wiped out by the Youzhou Army.
"Your Majesty, our army camp is on fire!"
On the battlefield, relying on the absolute superiority in military strength, the Bingzhou Army had the upper hand. Guo Yuan was charging and killing in high spirits, but suddenly he heard a guard behind him shouting wildly.
"What? Damn it, hurry up, blow the trumpet, order all the troops to turn south immediately, retreat, retreat quickly!"
Guo Yuansheng looked back and immediately found that the fire in his rear camp was raging into the sky. Even if he returned to the army to rescue him, it was too late. He couldn't help but panic. How could he dare to fight again? After scolding angrily , he rode his horse and fled southward...
