Chapter 3658 Taniguchi defeats the enemy
The mouth of the Bashui River Valley is located twenty miles south of the county seat. The surrounding mountains are as steep as a knife and an axe. The Changsun family's cavalry is stationed here, cutting off the roads. All comings and goings are subject to close inspection, and all entry and exit from the pass are controlled.
The captain who led the team was named Chiqian Heli. He was in his twenties. He was the son of Changsun Wuji's father, Changsun Sheng, who was married to the Chiqian family. Emperor Wei Xiaowen made Luoyang the capital and asked the court to "forbid Hu clothing, discontinue the Northern dialect, change surnames, and determine clan surnames." He also forced the Xianbei people to quickly Sinicize their politics, economy, culture, etc. Compound surnames with two or more characters were all changed to single-syllable Han surnames. He first changed the royal Tuoba family name to Yuan family, and the Dugu family name to Liu family, and called himself Yuanhong. "The rest of the changes are incomparable."
However, after the fall of the Northern Wei Dynasty, many Xianbei nobles changed their surnames back. The branch of the Chiqian family continued to be named Xue, while the main branch changed their surname back to their ancestral surname...
As the wife of Changsun Sheng, the Chiqian family has always been attached to Changsun's family and loyal.
Chi Gan worked together to ride on his horse, looking at the two thousand elite cavalry in front of him forming an array, blocking the river valley with water, feeling a little satisfied in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that Guanlong raised an army and was short of manpower, how would a mere eldest son of his family have the opportunity to command thousands of troops and make achievements?
You must seize this rare opportunity to show off your talents. As long as you catch Changsun Wuji's eyes, you will be reused in the future...
Scouts came and went, constantly feeding back news from within the valley.
When he heard that Fang Jun had led his troops to set up camp and make fires to make food, they all sneered and said to the troops around them: "This Fang Jun's cunning plan is true. If I predict it, he will definitely save his strength and wait for a surprise attack in the middle of the night!" I want to repeat the old trick and imitate the night attack on Changsun Anye's troops."
Listening to the left and right, everyone nodded in agreement. There was a flood of flattery and praise such as "the general is naturally handsome" and "strategic strategist", which made it inevitable for them to work together and feel like they were about to ride the wind back home, as if he was the wisest general at that time...
When news came that our own sentries in the river valley were preparing for the other side's scouts to kill or drive them away, Chi Ganhe became more and more firm in his judgment and ordered: "The whole army will rest, make fire and cook food, and we will also have a good meal." Have a good meal, and then save up your strength to wait for work, and give the Duke of Yue a surprise in the middle of the night! ”
The people around him were more and more full of praise.
"The school captain anticipated the enemy's attack and waited for work. He has the demeanor of a famous commander in the world!"
"That Fang Jun is nothing more than a stick. He got so many opportunities thanks to His Majesty's favor, and then he achieved such a great reputation, but that's all!"
"If the captain had the opportunity like Fang Er, his achievements would be far superior!"
……
He Li was close to his heart, but with a serious and unmoved look on his face, he shouted: "How stupid is it to flatter a horse? Pass on the order quickly, this time I will definitely behead Fang Erxiang! Go back Return to the master of the family, but there is a reward, I will share it with you”
Everyone was overjoyed and quickly dispersed, ordering his soldiers to dismount and rest to recharge their batteries. They were just waiting for Fang Jun to come and attack him in the middle of the night. He launched a fierce counterattack and captured and killed him in one fell swoop, accomplishing a great feat.
However, when the Huotou Army set up the stove, the firewood rose, and the smoke curled up, Chi Ganheli suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He was sitting under a large bare tree, holding a water bowl in his hand to drink water. He turned to look into the depths of the valley, and saw countless birds circling over the valley. Because there were mountain walls on both sides of the valley, it was difficult for the birds to fly. After crossing, they flew out from the mouth of the valley in groups.
What's going on?
The birds in the forest are frightened, which is caused by the rush of the army. But now Fang Jun and his army are resting. Calculating the time, the food has just been prepared, and they should be eating. Where did the army suddenly move out?
He looked puzzled, suddenly realized something, and looked down at the water bowl in his hand.
First, the hot water in the bowl rippled in circles, which were subtle at first, then gradually became obvious, and then there was a slight tremor in the ground under your feet...
At this point, no matter how stupid he is, he still doesn't understand what's going on?
He threw the water bowl to the ground suddenly, stood up, drew out the horizontal knife, and shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking! There is an enemy attack!"
The soldiers under his command were taking a rest, drinking water, arranging their equipment, and some soldiers even took off their leather armor and arranged it carefully, all preparing for the big battle that would come in the middle of the night. At this moment, everyone was stunned when they suddenly saw Chi Gan Heli yelling like crazy.
After a long while, when they saw Chi Gan working together to kick a soldier who looked puzzled to the ground, leading the horse and jumping on the horse's back, they all reacted. In panic, they hurriedly stood up, put on their leather armor, and then wielded their weapons. , rushed towards the war horse eating fodder in a panic.
The whole camp is in chaos...
The ground beneath their feet began to tremble, which made the soldiers become more panicked and embarrassed. The more panicked, the more mistakes they made in their actions.
When all the soldiers hurriedly led their horses and got on their backs in a panic, the scene in front of them was horrifying. I saw a well-equipped cavalry galloping out of the river valley. The momentum of the galloping was like the thunder of a mountain, and the collapse of Mount Tai!
The place where Chi Gan worked together to station troops was in the open area outside the mouth of the valley. After all, it was cold and cold in the valley, but the sun was shining here, making it very suitable for camping. Wait until evening to set up the front line and block the mouth of the valley, making it difficult for Fang Jun to fly.
However, at this moment, the wide area outside the valley mouth gave Fang Jun a good opportunity to make full use of his cavalry to charge into the battle.
Three hundred cavalry surged out of the river valley. The wide area allowed the formation to be fully expanded. The soldiers lay on their horses and desperately urged their horses to accelerate in order to rush into the enemy's formation as quickly as possible without giving the enemy sufficient time to react.
The iron hoofs shattered the snow and ice on the ground, causing ice shards and snow foam to rise up, causing a flying white mist to rise behind the army.
Chigan Heli's face turned pale and he shouted: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
However, the soldiers under his command had just stepped on the horse and had not yet settled down. After hearing the order, they opened their bows and hurriedly shot arrows. How could they be accurate? Only a few targets were shot off their horses, and the rest's charge was not exhausted, but became more and more fierce. Before the Changsun family's cavalry had time to fire the second round of arrows, they had already rushed forward and started to attack the wide area at the mouth of the valley. The front of the formation circled to both sides. The cavalry at the front straightened up on their horses, and with the help of the charge of their horses, threw out the thunderbolts that had been ignited in their hands.
Countless thunderbolts fell on the Changsun cavalry formation, "boom, boom, boom", a series of explosions, dust and smoke filled the air. After the thunderbolt exploded, shrapnel flew everywhere unbridled, and patches of soldiers and horses were hit by shrapnel. In autumn, the wheat in the fields is generally lying down.
Wails spread across the land.
……
The forwards circled from the front of the enemy's formation to the two wings, and the thunderbolts thrown at the same time caused great damage to the enemy's troops, causing their already scattered formation to collapse further. Immediately afterwards, the Chinese army led by Fang Jun arrived. This time they no longer took detours, but instead wedged themselves into the enemy's formation through the gap created by the thunder, and drove straight in.
The panicked Changsun family cavalry and surrounding soldiers tried their best to organize a defensive array, intending to block the enemy's fierce charge. However, often before the array was completed, they were either defeated by the oncoming enemy troops, or dispersed by the robes on the left and right, and watched helplessly. The enemy troops marched straight into an uninhabited country, but there was no strength left to resist.
Fang Jun took the lead and led his soldiers to charge without fear of death, cutting two thousand enemy cavalry in two in one fell swoop. After piercing through the enemy's formation, he did not take advantage of the situation and go away. Instead, he turned back and fought back. He cooperated with the troops on the two flanks and outflanked them in sections, ruthlessly harvesting the enemy's lives.
The soldiers under Fang Jun's command are all brave men who have followed him in the south and north. They have gone back and forth countless times in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They are all the best among the best. No matter they cooperate in the battle formation or fight alone, they are all capable. He is the top existence in the world.
Although these two thousand cavalrymen have grown up in the Sun family's family and have been diligent in training, the army that has never drank blood and experienced life and death is like lush vegetable seedlings in a greenhouse. It looks strong, but in fact it cannot withstand the slightest. wind and rain.
They were caught off guard by a surprise attack, and the quality of their individual soldiers was far inferior. How could they win this battle?
With just one charge, the two thousand Changsun cavalry were scattered in all directions, and they were defeated like a mountain.
Chi Ganheli's ambition disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by endless fear. He watched helplessly as his soldiers were chased around like rabbits by the enemy. All you can do is save your life.
As a result, in the spacious fields outside the mouth of the Bashui River Valley, more than a thousand cavalry fled in panic towards Lantian like headless flies. Fang Jun led his soldiers to pursue them, chasing them all the way.
When Li Junxian was ordered to lead a thousand "Hundred Cavalry" elites to the east of Lantian City in a hurry, they saw such a spectacular scene... (End of Chapter)
