Chapter 842: Driving the Enemy Up the Mountain
Guan Shouchang waved his hand impatiently and said,
"Oh, okay, okay, go ahead. I'll let you be the vanguard officer and kill the enemy commander with your own hands. It's useless. Just kill the commander. As long as you kill him before surrendering, it's fine.
Well, let Lao Zhang go with you. He's a good fighter and can help you kill the enemy."
"What? Let Lao Zhang go with me? I don't want to. This black guy won't listen to me. He's impulsive and irritable. What if I have to go deep into the enemy camp to rescue him and my entire army is wiped out?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yide glared and said,
"Bullshit, what are you talking about? In all these years, when have I ever been so impulsive as to charge into the battle formation on my own? It was only because Lao Guan told me to do so that I did."
"Then you only listen to Lao Guan and not me. I don't need you."
"You can use it if you want!"
Guan Shouchang shouted,
"Shut up, Zhang Yide, listen to my orders. I order you to go to the White Horse Army to assist. You must obey Zhao Biao's orders. If you disobey my orders and act recklessly, your merits will be ignored, and your faults will be severely punished!
Did you hear me? "
"As ordered!"
Zhang Yide immediately received the order, and then said to Zhao Biao with a smile,
"Lao Zhao, come on, come on. I will definitely listen to you and do whatever you ask me to do. And I promise not to drink."
"You're not even drinking anything, let's go!"
Zhao Biao got down from the city wall, mounted his warhorse, and then took Zhang Yide and his White Horse Army with him, marching south in a mighty force.
They rushed for the whole afternoon, rested for one night on the way, and continued on their journey early the next morning.
We crossed the Li River through the bridge outside the canyon, arrived at the west bank, and headed towards Guilin.
Zhao Biao sent out scouts to look for the main force of the Qian army.
Soon, the scout came back with a report.
The main force of the Qian army was found. They had already left Guilin and walked south for more than ten miles.
When Zhao Biao heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately shouted,
"All troops, listen up! Charge the enemy and disrupt their formation. Kill as many as you can, but don't fight too long. If the enemy deploys their troops, withdraw!"
"As ordered!"
"charge!"
Zhao Biao roared angrily and led the White Horse Army in a mighty pursuit towards the south.
They ran very fast and bypassed Guilin City. After running for more than ten miles, they saw the tail end of the enemy army which was arranging its troops.
Obviously, the enemy scouts had discovered them.
Kou Jin was in the midst of thousands of troops, loudly commanding the entire army to assemble and fight the enemy.
But they were a marching team after all, and it was not easy to gather them into a combat team.
In any major war, if you want the army to exert its combat effectiveness, you must deploy and plan in advance and arrange the troops to maximize its combat effectiveness.
Now his team was like a long snake, stretching for more than ten miles, and there was no time to assemble.
Zhao Biao and Zhang Yide were very brave. They led their troops to smash the enemy's newly set up rear defense line, and then slashed with their swords.
The Yan army's cavalry was like the god of death, attacking and charging fiercely, crushing the Qian army's troops to pieces.
Seeing that this was not going to work, Kou Jin immediately yelled,
"All troops, go up the mountain, up this mountain to the west, and defend the enemy from the mountain! Quick!"
He reacted quickly and immediately thought of a way to deal with the cavalry.
It is impossible to defeat cavalry on flat ground by relying on these disorganized infantry.
They could only move towards the mountain range on the right.
The Qian army soldiers didn't care about anything and rushed up the mountain. All the baggage, food and other supplies were thrown down the mountain.
Zhao Biao and Zhang Yide, leading the White Horse Army, charged and fought for a long time. They only stopped when they saw that the enemies had all gone up the mountain.
"Old Zhao, let's go up the mountain and chop them down!"
Zhang Yide said while howling.
Zhao Biao rolled his eyes and said,
"Cut, cut, cut! Chop your mother's head off! How are the cavalry supposed to get up the mountain? Can they charge up? Collect the spoils and set up camp!"
They didn't bring any tents or supplies, but there were many of them in the spoils they had just captured, so they didn't have to sleep in the open air anymore.
Moreover, they have iron pots, food and other supplies, so they don’t need to eat dry food. They can cook steaming hot meals to replenish their energy.
Zhao Biao looked around and finally chose to set up camp a mile away from the mountain.
He did not choose to camp directly at the foot of the mountain. Firstly, he was worried that the enemy would roll down boulders, fireballs and other objects to attack them. Second, it also left space for the cavalry to charge and fight.
At the same time, Zhao Biao also sent people to go around the mountain to check the terrain.
After the scouts came back, they said that the west side of the mountain was full of cliffs and they could only go down from the east or south.
Hearing this, Zhao Biao felt relieved and sent scouts to closely monitor the enemy. If any enemy dared to come down the mountain, they would be beaten.
The general's tent was set up, and Zhao Biao and his men lived in the Qian army's tent, used the Qian army's pots, and ate the Qian army's food. They were so happy.
"Where's the wine? Where's the wine? Isn't there any wine among the Qian army's supplies?"
Zhang Yide felt the food was bland and tasteless, and clamored for a drink.
Zhao Biao glared at him and said,
"What are you shouting about? You are not allowed to drink. This is a critical moment, and you still dare to drink?
There are 200,000 enemy troops still on the mountain, and we only have 50,000 of us. If we all get drunk, are we going to let the enemy come and chop off our heads?"
Zhang Yide said with a smile,
"Well, I just drank a little myself, and the others didn't drink. With you guys watching, how could the enemy attack us by surprise?
Besides, how could there be 200,000 enemy troops? We've already killed at least 100,000 of them, right? "
"One hundred thousand people? You really dare to think that. You can kill one hundred thousand people with just two attacks?
The enemies are all trees, standing still for you to watch?
Even if they are trees, can you cut down 100,000 trees in two waves?
This time, more than 20,000 people were killed.
The enemy not only has a large army, but also civilians and so on. The combat corps alone has 200,000 soldiers, and there are tens of thousands of other people. There are at least 200,000 people on the mountain now.
You are so bold, you dare to drink at this time, you will never be a head coach in your life! "
"I don't even want to be a head coach. Look at what you said. Just let me drink a sip, just a whole jar, okay?
This southern wine is as light as water. I can't get drunk even if I drink ten jars."
Zhao Biao sneered and said sarcastically,
"You want to drink? Fine, then, I'll write a memorial to the prince, saying that you drank and made mistakes when our 50,000 men were besieging an enemy force of 200,000..."
Zhang Yide quickly begged for mercy,
"Ah, ah, ah, forget it, if you don't want to drink then don't drink, why are you complaining?"
Zhao Biao sneered and said,
"Pass the order down. Everyone must sleep in armor and weapons tonight. Horses must be tied at the entrance to the tents, not in the stables!"
