Chapter 222 Arrive in Time
Gangu is a decisive battlefield carefully selected by Yu Jin for the Kingdom Army. The terrain is steep, there are mountains on both sides, and there is a passage in the middle, with only two small openings.
The Imperial Army slowly retreated all the way south, and suddenly a horse from afar came up.
"Captain, good news!"
Yu Jin probably guessed what the good news was: "Could it be that the reinforcements sent by the general have arrived?"
The scout nodded in conviction and said, "The general sent Cao Cao to lead two thousand elite troops to the south, and the distance between him and the general is about twenty miles."
Yu Jin turned around and glanced at the Wang Guojun who was chasing after him. After roughly calculating the distance in his mind, he said to the scouts: "Go and tell Guan Bingcao that he must rush to the entrance of Gangu in an hour. Let's work together to catch a turtle."
"Guan Bingcao, that's what Captain Yu said."
Guan Hai hummed: "It's easy to say, go back, someone will arrive in time."
There are two thousand elite soldiers behind him. Although they are tired all the way south, they are not far from Gangu. Since Yu Jin told him to arrive at the entrance of Gangu in an hour, he just took this opportunity to take a rest.
Guan Hai immediately turned around and shouted: "The whole army obeys orders, rest in place for half an hour, eat some dry food and drink water."
Hearing Guan Hai's order, the two thousand elite soldiers immediately loosened up, sat down on the ground, took out dry food and water bags to eat and drink for a while, and then except for the guard sentry, most of the remaining soldiers closed their eyes and rested.
"General, Gangu is still five miles ahead, but the Royal Army seems to be getting farther and farther away from our army." A military commander reported to the ban.
Yu Jin smiled slightly: "The speed of this group of rebels is really slow enough. If the elite of our army hadn't joined the general to fight, I'm afraid this group of rebels would have disappeared long ago."
After all, Yu Jin ordered the army to slow down again, and he keenly discovered that many recruits in the army were out of breath, which obviously took a lot of energy. If they ran for a while, they might not even have the strength to fight. there is none left.
And as Yu Jin's army slowed down again, the Kingdom's army finally caught up with Yu Jin's army, and at this time Gangu was finally close at hand.
Ever since, in Wang Guojun's eyes, seeing Yu Jinjun "panic" slipping into Gangu, he couldn't help laughing.
"This Yu Jin really lost his head, and even rushed into the valley, isn't this the end of his life? Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Wang Guo couldn't help laughing.
"The whole army is attacking, right in this Gangu, completely defeating the enemy army!"
With a wave of the Kingdom's saber, more than ten thousand troops rushed into Gangu in one breath, and Chang Zun didn't know why, but always felt a little strange, and wanted to remind the Kingdom, but seeing the fanaticism in his eyes, He couldn't help but swallowed the words in his mouth again.
"The whole army stops!"
"Array!"
Yu Jin gave the order to stop the formation in time, not only because he had already reached the designated place, but more importantly, the reason was that this group of recruits was about to reach their limit. If they continued to retreat, a false defeat might turn into a big defeat Yes, so when the time comes, Yu Jin will have to order to stop regardless of whether he has reached the designated place or not. Fortunately, this group of recruits finally persisted to the designated place.
In the Battle of Feishui, it was Fu Jian's vanguard that was defeated, which led to the defeat of the rear army of the Chinese army, so if the tactic of feigning defeat is not used well, it will be miserable.
The 1,500 elite soldiers responded the fastest, and they were arranged by Yu Jin at the end of the formation. In case the enemy chased them up, the quality of these elite soldiers was enough to stop them.
The 1,500 elite soldiers were immediately divided into three small conical formations, each with 500 men, ready to attack.
But Wang Guojun, who had been chasing and fighting all the way without thinking, was taken aback for a moment. Because of inertia, he rushed out for more than ten steps, and finally stopped. He looked at the opposite army in surprise, a little at a loss.
But Wang Guo was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and immediately shouted: "What are you afraid of? The enemy army is nothing more than a trapped beast, don't be afraid, go up with all your strength."
But Yu Jin's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly to the guard next to him: "Fire a loud arrow."
"Here."
The guard on the side held a longbow, twirled a long arrow with his fingers, pulled the bow string with his arms, and the long arrow was sent out with the wind.
Whoosh—bang!
A loud voice suddenly came from above the clouds, and the soldiers of the two armies could not help but change their expressions slightly, not knowing what happened.
The soldiers of Wang Guojun and Yu Jinjun looked at each other in surprise, only the 1,500 sharp soldiers in the Yu Jin Army did not change their expressions. Fighting cannot be tempered.
A burst of dense footsteps suddenly sounded from the entrance of Gangu. Some soldiers of the Kingdom couldn't help but look back, but their expressions changed drastically.
I saw a series of enemy soldiers, wearing armor similar in color to that of the imperial army, approaching the entrance of Gangu quickly, filing in from the entrance of Gangu, and immediately blocked the entrance of Gangu.
A pole with the Chinese character guan flutters in the wind at the entrance of Gangu.
Yu Jin smiled slightly, then restrained his smile, and shouted: "All soldiers! The reinforcements have arrived, follow me to destroy the thieves."
"Breaking the thief! Breaking the thief!"
The 3,500 elite soldiers took the lead and set an example. The weapons in their hands hit the ground heavily, making a rattling sound. For a while, the sound was like a torrential rain, covering the battlefield, which was extremely shocking.
The five thousand recruits were taken aback for a moment, and then immediately raised their weapons with excitement, hitting the ground frantically, and the morale of nearly ten thousand Han soldiers soared, and their combat effectiveness quickly recovered.
Wang Guo was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't be afraid, we have more soldiers than them, everyone rushed to defeat the enemy army in one go, and in the future, we must be appointed as ministers."
It has to be said that the method used by the local tyrant of the Kingdom to motivate soldiers' morale is really clumsy, and it doesn't always work if there are brave men under heavy rewards.
As the two armies converged, the strategy was achieved and the morale of the own army skyrocketed, and Yu Jin ordered the march.
"Army attack."
Guan Hai also issued an order at the right time, and the two thousand elite soldiers rushed forward like tigers descending from the mountain.
The two parts of Liu Ye's army were aggressive, divided into east and west, and came towards the Kingdom's army. Especially the elite soldiers in the army, they followed Liu Ye to fight everywhere, even after a quick march, their morale did not drop, and they launched a fierce attack immediately, the recruits in the army were encouraged by this, and they followed suit.
