Chapter 4 Immediately Horizontal Gun Section 5
The roar of galloping horses resounded through the mountains.
Bao Hong was panting, sweating, and galloping.
He led his troops to be ambushed by Beigong Boyu's cavalry on the way to retreat. Bao Hong led his troops out of the encirclement and fled in the direction of Meiyang in embarrassment. Beigong Boyu followed with three thousand iron horsemen and chased after him, biting hard. Bao Hong regretted it very much. knew that he would be ambushed by Beigong Boyu, so it was better to stay in the small city of Duyang and wait for help. It's all that damn fat man, who has to give up Du Yang by himself and go south to Meiyang to meet him. Could it be that without his own 5,000 men and horses, would the siege and annihilation battle in Xiaohuai be lost?
Beigong Boyu looked at the chaotic Han army in front of him, turned around and shouted: "Order Qin Duwei and Feng Duwei to lead a thousand men and horses each and outflank them from both sides." ”
"Brothers, kill it......" Beigong Boyu waved the spear in his hand very excitedly, and shouted wildly, "Kill Bao Hong, reward the horse for thirty." ”
Hearing the shouts of killing and the sound of horns getting closer and closer, Bao Hong was both flustered and angry in his heart, he turned his head to look back, and the enemy's cavalry had dispersed and were outflanking him.
He cursed hatefully and shouted loudly through gritted teeth: "Order the soldiers, dense the queue, and speed up." ”
His infantry had all been buried in the wilderness, and only more than a thousand cavalry remained, and if the cavalry were wiped out again, the team of the right Fufeng would be gone.
The two teams are getting closer and closer, and it looks like they are about to catch up.
Beigong Boyu roared loudly: "On the arrow, on the ...... Arrow ......"
Bao Hong looked around, his face becoming more and more ugly. The two flanks of the rebels have been outflanked in place, as long as Beigong Boyu attacks from his rear and drags himself, the encirclement can be formed. He felt bad, his heart was full of anxiety, and he cried out frantically: "Go, go, hurry, hurry......"
At this moment, a thunderous war drum suddenly rose into the sky, and a huge battle flag with the word "Dong" was suddenly erected on the hill in the distance.
Bao Hong and the soldiers were like seeing a life-saving straw, and they suddenly lifted their spirits and roared wildly.
Beigong Boyu was taken aback, stopped his horse, and shouted: "Stop advancing, stop moving immediately......"
"Tell the wings, immediately disperse, disperse, retreat and assemble, assemble ......"
More than a dozen horns of different sizes sounded almost simultaneously, and the low and rapid horns reverberated over the empty field.
==========
Dong Zhuo sat on the black war horse, looking coldly at the battlefield in front of him, with bursts of murderous aura on his face.
He has broad shoulders and a wide body, and he looks like a small mountain, and he is majestic. He has a big square face, a thick long hair, a pair of big eyes that look forward to self-pride, and he is so imposing that no matter how you look at it, you can't tell that he is in his early fifties.
"General, do you want to attack the wings of the stone?" Guo Yan asked in a low voice.
"General, let's rush and kill for a while, tell the stones to roll away, and don't always follow us." Fan Chou said excitedly, "He has gone too far to eat Captain Baodu's infantry. ”
Dong Zhuo glanced at his subordinates and shook his head.
"Forget it. After all, we have all been friends for decades, and there is no need to be so ruthless. Dong Zhuo pointed at Beigong Boyu's troops on the opposite side with a horsewhip, and said with a light smile: "You see, Shi has ordered the troops to retreat and assemble. ”
"This kid, how many years have passed, he can't change his temperament, and sooner or later he will be eaten." When Guo Yan heard that Dong Zhuo had no intention of attacking, his nervous expression immediately relaxed. He is a native of Xiliang Beidi County, and has been in the army for many years, although he has a lot of military achievements, he has not been promoted for more than ten years. Guo Yan is burly, with a long face and a high nose, a dark complexion, a fierce and heroic martial arts, and his martial arts are very good.
"Back then, when we ate meat and drank wine together, we could pour him down every time, and the bear wrapped one. Now he was trembling, and he dared to call himself a general. Fan Chou said with a huff. Fan Chou is of medium stature, stout and stocky, with a round face and a thick beard on his chin.
"Although the stone can't drink alcohol, but the martial arts are good, you can't beat him, so you pour him wine, the means are too inferior." Dong Zhuo said with a smile, "He is very interesting, since he calls himself General Shi, why can't he be called General Mighty, or General Changsheng." ”
"Haha......" Guo Yan and Fan Chou laughed.
"Stone is illiterate and always makes jokes." Fan Chou smiled, "But he forced out Lao Bian and Mr. Wenyue, which is really unexpected." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "With the temperament of a stone, he can't think of this way, and nine times out of ten it was the idea of that Li Wenhou." If Shi rebelled alone, we would have solved it a little, but now that Lao Bian and Wen Yue have come out, things are very tricky. With Lao Bian and Wen Yue's prestige in Xiliang, it is impossible to defeat them in a battle. Last year, General Huangfu couldn't win, and this year Lord Taiwei can't do it. ”
"The general is not optimistic about the battle of Xiaohuaili?" Guo Yan asked in surprise.
Dong Zhuo glanced at the two of them and scolded: "You two are both lieutenants, how can you even look down on this little thing clearly." Do you think this battle can be fought? ”
"Lord Taiwei is ruthless. He was only one anyway, and if he won the battle, he took a group of subordinates from the Taiwei Mansion back to Beijing to receive the reward, and he lost nothing. What about us? How many of us can be left? Dong Zhuo half-opened a pair of big eyes, and said angrily, "I took you to fight from Xiliang to Bingzhou, and then from Bingzhou back to Xiliang, it was not easy to have such a little Western Frontier Army, is it easy?" Today we have all the troops, and tomorrow? Will we still be able to gain a foothold in the West tomorrow? We have a deep enmity with Qianghu, and without strength, the June thunderstorm will tear us to pieces. ”
"The general is right. When the Emperor Fu arrived in the western frontier, he fought with Lao Bian, Shishi, and June Thunder, and did not fight with their main force. It seems that the level of this Taiwei is much worse than that of General Huangfu, and he will have to duel with the rebels as soon as he arrives in Xiliang, completely ignoring the actual situation. In fact, now the power of Xiliang to quell the rebellion should be handed over to the general. Looking at today, if you are familiar with Xiliang, there are a few people who can compare to our generals. Fan Chou said loudly.
Dong Zhuo shook his hand and gave him a whip, and scolded angrily: "You speak carefully, don't talk nonsense without covering your mouth." ”
Fan Chou smiled, unimpressed.
"General, what do you mean?" Guo Yan asked cautiously.
"Lord Taiwei's wishful thinking, let's ignore him. After retreating to Meiyang, we will not move and wait and see. ”
"Change?" Guo Yan repeated in a low voice, and then came to his senses, he smiled and said to Dong Zhuo, "If it is the stone that commands this battle, you must kill us happily, but unfortunately the leaders of the rebels are Lao Bian and Mr. Wenyue." Or the general thought far-reaching, we really didn't think of it. ”
Dong Zhuo's eyes looked at the battlefield and let out a sneer from his nose.
"It's not that you didn't think about it, but you all want to destroy the rebels and make a great military achievement. It's a pity that you have all forgotten who brought down your military exploits. It's those soldiers. Dong Zhuo pointed at the cavalry soldiers on the battlefield with a horsewhip in his hand, and shouted, "Military merit is exchanged for their blood and bones." ”
Guo Yan and Fan Chou nodded repeatedly.
"Lord Taiwei has never led soldiers or fought, what does he know?" Dong Zhuo sneered disdainfully, "He wants to use the blood of our Xiliang people to protect his career." Bah...... Does he think we Xiliang people are idiots? ”
"I think that leopard from the north must be an idiot." Fan Chou smiled, "It is rumored that his brain was broken by the Xianbei people. I think he's got a bad brain. He stupidly put the troops in Xiaohuai, lined up, and made a posture of fighting to the death with Lao Bian. Ha ha...... He listens to Lord Taiwei for everything, and he will soon be unlucky. ”
Guo Yan glanced at Fan Chou, and said angrily: "I think you are an idiot." Have you beheaded more than 10,000 Hu soldiers? Have you annihilated more than 300,000 Yellow Turban traitors? Don't underestimate him. He came all the way from Jizhou, and he must have some real skills. Lao Bian may not be able to deal with him. ”
"Leopard?" Dong Zhuo sighed and said, "In terms of the enemy's head, I have fought for decades, and I really don't have as many as him, but if you look at military merits, he is far behind." ”
"What background does he have, why is he a Zhonglang general now?" Fan Chou muttered, "The general has fought all his life and made countless military exploits, so he is a broken general." What kind of world is this? ”
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Let's go back and see what kind of leopard it is." ”
==========
Beigong Boyu's troops had been quickly assembled, and they were five hundred steps away from Dong Zhuo's cavalry army, forming a dense formation.
Bao Hong's cavalry had completely escaped the pursuit of the rebels and quickly rushed to the back of Dong Zhuo's army.
"Captain Bao is here......" Guo Yan shouted.
Bao Hong is a native of Yuzhou, and the year before last, because of his meritorious service in suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in Runan, Yuzhou, he was promoted to the right Fufeng to serve as a lieutenant. He was in his thirties, not tall, a little thin, shrewd and capable. When Bao Hong saw Dong Zhuo, he hurriedly flew off his horse and said a lot of words of gratitude.
Dong Zhuogao sat on the horse, waved the horsewhip in his hand with a proud expression, and said loudly, "That's it, it's good to be alive." Tell you to move faster, you have to hesitate, what is the result? ”
Bao Hong wiped the beads of sweat from his face and said ashamedly: "Let the adults bother." ”
Fan Chou walked to Bao Hong's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The general saw that you didn't arrive in Meiyang yesterday, so he led 5,000 cavalry north overnight to meet him. Luckily, it happened in time, otherwise you would be in trouble. ”
When Bao Hong heard this, he hurriedly said some words of gratitude and compliments to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo sneered: "You all underestimate traitors. That Li Wenhou, a native of Caohan, is a very learned guy, not a wine bag and rice bag. Be careful the next time you meet them. Let's go. ”
Beigong Boyu's real name is Beigong Gui, Boyu is his character, and Stone is his nickname. He is a Qiang person belonging to the Huangzhong area of Jincheng County, a great man in Huangzhong, stout and strong, strong in martial arts, bold and bold, good at fighting and holding grievances, and is the kind of person who stresses righteousness and is jealous of evil. Beigong Boyu couldn't stand the oppression of the Han officials, so he led his people to rebel with the banner of righteousness. He had a deep relationship with Li Jin and Li Wenhou, who were from Longxi County. When Li Wenhou heard that he was opposed, he didn't say a word, and the Han people with him gathered under his banner. The two troops gathered together and immediately slaughtered Jincheng, which led to the Xiliang War.
Beigong Boyu is tall and strong, with a beard and a tiger's neck, and his aura is lofty, with a reckless and heroic spirit all over his body. He watched from afar as Dong Zhuo's banner began to move slowly, grinning.
He shouted at Dong Zhuo's army that was slowly retreating: "Fatty, fat, ......"
"General Stone, let's withdraw too." Jun Sima Yanji whispered, "Master Dong has already left." ”
"Don't call him Master Dong, call him Dong Fat." Beigong Boyu smiled, "Now that I am a general, I am on an equal footing with him, what are you afraid of him?" ”
"I'm used to shouting." Yan Ji said with a smiling face, "I'm used to it, I've been shouting for more than ten years, and I can't change it for a while." Why didn't he leave without a fight with us? ”
"I don't know." Beigong Boyu said with a smile, "He is a very vicious person, and he is the same for his friends, and he never shows mercy. ”
"I think Master Dong treats you well, every year when you go hunting in Huangzhong, he has to get together with you and drink." Yan Ji said, "It's a pity, now it's an enemy." This time, he also personally came to Duyang to deal with you. Last year, he took the initiative to avoid you, specifically looking for trouble with June Thunder and Lao Bian. ”
"Call him Dong Fatty." Beigong Boyu shouted, "Do you know why we call him fat? ”
Yan Ji is only in his twenties, so he naturally doesn't know the grievances of their generation.
"The fat man is good to his friends, and he is willing to give him a mountain of gold, but he has a violent temper, a narrow heart, and he will repay his eyes, and his methods are extremely cruel. He has always been desperate to deal with enemies, and there are no chickens and dogs. Do you know why June Thunder has a deep hatred with him? Just because his father did not pay tribute to the fat man on time, he scolded him a few words, and as a result, he was retaliated by the fat man, and more than 1,000 people in the whole clan were killed by him overnight, and his father was skinned and dug out of his heart, and he was tortured to death. ”
"When he was in Northland County, he once patrolled the border and robbed other people's women, and the woman committed suicide if she didn't comply. This was originally a trivial matter, but he angrily led his troops into the village, and under the pretext of suppressing bandits, he killed more than 100 people in the village. Later I asked him why? He said that his temper came up at that time, he couldn't swallow it in one breath, and he needed to drink some blood to calm the anger in his heart. ”
"You see he's tall and big, like a hill, but his heart is as small as a needle's eye, so our friends call him fat, which means he's careful."
Yan Ji naturally heard about Dong Zhuo's atrocities. In Xiliang, no one is not afraid of Dong Zhuo, just like everyone was afraid of Duan Cheng in the past, they are all murderous people. But why Dong Zhuo's friends all call Dong Zhuo fat, Yan Ji knows it for the first time.
"Isn't he angry?" Yan Ji asked.
"Angry?" Beigong Boyu laughed, "If he is even angry about this, does he still have friends?" In fact, the fat man is good and has done a lot of good things, but they are all covered up by his bloody atrocities. He's so easy to kill, he doesn't treat people as humans. Forget it, let's not talk about it, no matter what, we are enemies now. Let's go. ”
==========
Sun Jian hurriedly walked into Zhang Wen's big tent.
"Lord Taiwei, after Bian Zhang's troops left Wugong, they did not continue to advance in the direction of Xiaohuaili."
Zhang Wen asked slowly, "Oh? Where are the rebels now? ”
