Chapter 9: Chapter 70 of the Central Plains

"Catch up, catch up, catch Yuan Shao." The Karasuma people couldn't understand what Zhao Yun was shouting, and after they chased for a hundred steps, they saw Zhao Yun with a team of men and horses chasing after him, and then stopped.

At the moment, there are more and more fugitives on the gallop road, and chasing too far will lead to holes in the defense, which may allow more fugitives to take the opportunity to fight their way out of the encirclement.

In addition, there were only a few dozen enemies who escaped from the encirclement, and even if they were all killed, one person would not be able to divide a single head, and it was still cost-effective to besiege the enemy on the gallop road in comparison.

Let's give these dozens of heads to those crazy Han people. The Karasuma people turned around and went back. Yuan Shao's personal guards saw Zhao Yun and his men chasing closer and closer, and immediately split into two, one part of them escorted Yuan Shao and ran wildly, and the other part turned the horse's head and flew to meet him.

The enemy cavalry had a clear goal, blocked and killed Zhao Yun, and killed the officer who led the chasing army, and Yuan Shao was safe.

More than 20 enemy soldiers were like a sharp arrow, shooting towards Zhao Yun with a sharp roar. Zhao Yun roared angrily, waved his spear, and killed two people in a row.

Before he could raise his spear again, three enemy soldiers and three spears stabbed at the same time. Zhao Yun couldn't dodge, the spear in his right hand volleyed into the left spear, and the knife in his left hand drew his knife to block the tip of the spear that stabbed into his chest at an unbelievable speed.

The swords and spears collided, and the spear was huge with the help of the galloping horse, and Zhao Yun's body was suddenly knocked upside down and flew up.

The spear stabbed from the right side didn't have time to pierce Zhao Yun's body,

"Flutter" thud into the back of the war horse. The horse was in pain, and suddenly jumped into the air, knocking down the enemy who was rushing from the front, along with the men and horses.

Zhao Yunren was in the air, his spear swept like lightning, and he immediately picked off the enemy soldiers who rushed from the left side and dropped them.

"Kill ......" Zhao Yun roared again, his body was like a spirit swallow, and he fell diagonally towards the enemy's war horse, and at the same time, the war knife in his left hand was thrown out of his hand, piercing the chest of the enemy soldier on the right.

Just as he was about to fall on his horse, four enemy soldiers roared in. One of the enemy soldiers jumped into the air, used his body as a weapon, and knocked Zhao Yun into the air again.

Zhao Yun lost his balance and fell to the ground. The enemy soldier fell beside him, and before Zhao Yun could get up, he had already screamed like a beast and pounced on him, blocking his waist and hugging Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's guards were shocked when they saw the general fall from his horse, and they all beat their horses around, swords and arrows together, and struggled to rescue them.

Zhao Yun smashed the enemy pawn's face door with a punch, and the enemy pawn was beaten to blood, but the enemy soldier sacrificed his life to fight and hugged Zhao Yun to the death.

Three spears stabbed again. Zhao Yun was in a hurry, so he used his hands and feet at the same time, and tried his best to move the ruler long distance.

In a short instant, two spears slashed into the enemy's body at the same time. Another spear came straight to Zhao Yun's waist, Zhao Yun screamed, and punched out with his left hand, and the bloody spear tip was crooked at this moment, and it was inserted into the shoulder blade of the enemy soldier in a millimeter.

The enemy soldier howled fiercely, and hugged Zhao Yun tighter with all his strength. Zhao Yun's spear was pressed under him, and his body was held by the enemy pawn and he couldn't get up, so he could only watch as more spears stabbed at him.

But luckily, not a single spear stabbed him. Dozens of Zhao Yun's personal guards rushed up at the fastest speed, killing all the enemies as fast as they could.

The enemy soldier who was already angry was very strong, even if he died, he still hugged Zhao to death, and in the end he could only cut off his arms to rescue Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun, who had been pulled out of the abyss of death, staggered to his feet, his face pale, and his heart palpitated.

"My lord, the enemy has fled far away." One of the guards pointed to the enemy rider in the distance, and shouted,

"Shall we chase?" Yun Fei jumped on the war horse and shouted angrily,

"Yuan Shao must be in front."

"Uh......h Woo ......" At this moment, the horns suddenly sounded on the battlefield. Zhao Yun and his guards turned their heads to look at the battlefield.

Flags fluttered there, iron horses flew like flying, and the sound of killing became smaller and smaller.

"My lord, the general ordered the army to be reorganized, and we are going to Pingyang Pavilion." The leader of the pro-guard team looked at Zhao Yun timidly and reminded in a low voice.

Zhao Yun looked at the back of the enemy horse in front of him, which was getting smaller and smaller, and gritted his teeth in anger,

"I'd like to see how many days you live."

"Let's go, let's go back to the battlefield, reorganize the army, and kill Pingyang Pavilion." The fugitives on the gallop gathered together, waiting for fate to be arranged.

Yan Dreadnought's army and the people of Hakusan Karasuma surrounded them. Karasuma tried to attack several times, but was stopped by Yan Wuxing and Lou Lu.

Without the order of the general, it is definitely a capital crime to launch an attack without authorization, and if you don't want to die in the Central Plains, you can endure it for a while.

Li Hong received Yan Wuxing's report and hurried to it.

"Is it Yuan Shao? You trapped Yuan Shao? "If the fugitives can be gathered together in such a chaotic situation, and they can shout for surrender, then it is certain that there are quite a few characters of identity and appeal among these fugitives.

Li Hong took it for granted that this person was Yuan Shao. Yan Wuxing shook his head,

"I don't know, I'll send someone to call them out at once." After a short time, Ji Ling was escorted to Li Hong by Wuhua Da.

He Yi didn't dare to come, Ji Ling thought that he would die anyway, so he turned his heart on and came to see him in person. Li Hong saw that it was not Yuan Shao, and he was a little disappointed in his heart.

After Ji Ling identified himself, Li Hong immediately ordered the tie to be loosened, and after a few words of greeting, Li Hong said to him,

"Your family members are safe and sound in Jizhou." Ji Ling was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him. Li Hong stretched out his hand to pull him up and asked, "Is Yuan Shao with you?" ”

"After the war began, I didn't see Yuan Shao." Ji Ling saw that Li Hong had not said anything about how to deal with the pawns, and he was panicked, and after hesitating for a long time, he took the initiative to ask,

"General, most of these soldiers were brought out by me from Jianghuai, I don't know ......" Li Hong sneered,

"After Brother Highway died, you could stay in Jiujiang, why did you follow Yuan Shao's order to go north to the Central Plains? You openly betrayed the court and aided the ......" Ji Ling's heart was cold, he turned over and knelt down, and begged hard.

"You can look at the battlefield ......" Li Hong pointed to the distance and said sharply,

"I'm about to rush to Pingyang Pavilion to encircle and annihilate the rebels. I didn't have time to take the prisoners, and I didn't have any extra men to guard them. "On the battlefield in the distance, the slaughter of the Iron Cavalry army was nearing its end, and there was a strong smell of blood in the smoke and dust.

The iron cavalry of all units are withdrawing from the battlefield one after another, regrouping in the dense sound of horns, preparing to leave for Pingyang Pavilion.

Li Hong glared at Ji Ling angrily, waved his hand and said, "You go to Jizhou first and wait for the punishment of the imperial court." ”

"General, Brother Highway is dead, we are torn apart and in danger, and we are going north to the Central Plains to survive." Ji Ling saw Li Hong turn around to leave, and hurriedly grabbed him,

"General, there are so many people left of Brother Highway, please look at Brother Highway's face, show mercy to your subordinates, let's have a way to live." Li Hongqiang endured his anger, and the muscles on his face twitched violently a few times,

"Now you know that you want me to give you a way to live, what did you do in the first place? After arriving in the Central Plains, why didn't you directly lead your troops to surrender? Give me a reason, and I will spare you. Ji Ling was speechless, and regretted it.

Thinking that these soldiers who had followed him for many years were about to be killed in a different place, and he was unable to save them, he was extremely sad for a while, and tears quietly welled up in his eyes.

"Give you two choices, either you watch them all die here, or you rush to Pingyang Pavilion with them." When Li Hong saw the tears in Ji Ling's eyes, his heart softened, and the tone of his voice suddenly became much kinder.

Ji Ling was ecstatic, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and nodded again and again,

"As long as the general trusts me, I will immediately take them to Pingyang Pavilion to kill."

"It's not to kill Pingyang Pavilion, but to flee to Pingyang Pavilion." Li Hong looked up at the sky, his face was anxious,

"Before dark, I must break through the rebels' battle formations and start a siege. If we fail to tear through the rebels' positions before dark, they will inevitably break through by using *night* (**please redact), which will increase our losses and increase the number of rebels who have fled. Can you help me tear apart the rebels' battle formations and make atonement for my crimes? Ji Ling understood, he arched his hand and said, "Before dusk, I will definitely help the general tear apart the battle formation of the coalition army." Li Hong patted him on the shoulder with a cold expression,

"After tearing apart the battle formation, immediately withdraw from the battlefield flank, and don't be accidentally injured by the iron cavalry." Ji Ling looked at Li Hong gratefully and bowed to leave.

Twenty miles northeast of Yancheng, Xiaoyan Pavilion. In the afternoon, Liu Biao, Feng Ji, Xu Xuan and others led about 50,000 rear troops, more than 100,000 people and more than 1,000 truckloads of grain and grass to set off from Yancheng, Taocheng, and Wating to advance to Pingyang Pavilion.

When he walked near Xiaoyan Pavilion, the scout quickly reported and found the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry in front of him.

"How many? How many people are there? Liu Biao was taken aback and hurriedly asked,

"Do you see clearly?"

"There are at least more than 10,000 people, and there are many bearded people." The scout looked frightened, and kept gesturing with his hands,

"It's only more than twenty miles away from us."

"Quick, urgently tell the two adults in front, Xu Xuan and Huang Zhong, immediately get out of the car formation and block them for me." Liu Biao waved his hand without thinking and said,

"Order all departments to immediately retreat and withdraw to Yancheng."

"Withdraw?" Feng Ji stared at Liu Biao with wide eyes,

"Brother Jingsheng, we must rush to Pingyang Pavilion tonight. The 100,000 troops in front of them are carrying very limited food, grass and ordnance, and they are waiting to join us, how can you order the whole army to retreat without authorization? ”

"The Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry has been killed." Liu Biao pointed to the people on the galloping road and the baggage carts full of grain, grass and ordnance, and said anxiously,

"See for yourself, how is this war? The iron horsemen roared in, and these people scattered in a hurry, and the weight of grain and grass was in danger. Without grain and grass, how many days can the 100,000 troops in front hold out? Keeping the grain and grass baggage, even if the 100,000 troops in front of us withdraw, we can still hold on to the line of Yancheng and Wating, and then regroup the army and continue to attack. "Feng Ji was speechless for a while.

Liu Biao was right, the coalition army did not have much grain and grass, and if it was successfully burned by this iron cavalry sneak attack, this battle would definitely be lost.

But he was worried about Yuan Shao's safety, hesitated for a moment, and then persuaded: "Brother Jingsheng, the 100,000 army in front is fighting Pingyang, and it is impossible for Li Hong to send a limited number of iron cavalry to the Yancheng area to attack us in this critical situation." This must be just a small force of iron horses, the purpose of which is to scare us and prevent us from supporting Pingyang Pavilion overnight. In my opinion, it is better to let the various departments temporarily set up a battle formation in Xiaoyan Pavilion and fight with this iron horse. They saw that our morale was high, and they were determined to fight, and they would definitely withdraw. Liu Biao shook his hand,

"Scouts don't lie about military information. Li Hong didn't have to think about it, he also knew that our rear army was going to escort the grain and grass to Pingyang Pavilion, and he was very likely to take a risk and transfer all the iron cavalry to fight us. Liu Biao waved at the herald standing beside him,

"Urgently tell all the departments, protect the people and baggage, withdraw quickly, withdraw ......quickly" Feng Ji was helpless, and sent someone to Pingyang Pavilion to report to Yuan Shao, asking him to command the army to attack Pingyang Pavilion overnight.

As long as the army captured Pingyang Pavilion, the northern iron cavalry that attacked Yancheng had to withdraw. The ground shook violently, and a huge roar was like a hurricane sweeping across the earth, shaking the earth.

Lei Zi led an army of 10,000 to roar and kill with the momentum of the river bursting the embankment. Xu Xuan and Huang Zhong stood side by side behind the car formation, looking at the smoke that covered the sky, and at the army of iron cavalry surging like a tide, their faces changed greatly.

The 10,000 soldiers behind the car formation were colorless and frightened.

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet......" Lei Zi raised his war sword, roaring like thunder,

"Kill, kill......" In the sound of the horn, a column of iron knights did not hesitate at all, and rushed madly towards the chariot formation.

Xu Xuan's Runan army was the first to collapse, and he turned around and ran. The rebels' chariot formation was originally very sparsely arranged because of its hastiness, but this was enough to slow down the high-speed iron cavalry, and as long as the soldiers in the chariot formation rushed bravely, they could kill and injure a large number of opponents, but the escape of the defenders in the chariot formation was equivalent to giving up the passage.

Huang Zhong saw that the battle array collapsed, and without saying a word, he pulled Xu Xuan and left.

"Withdraw, withdraw......"

"Haha......" Lei Zi couldn't help laughing when he saw that the Iron Cavalry Army was extremely brave and unimpeded through the car formation.

Before he attacked, he had told all the troops of the army that if he defeated the enemy, he would be able to grab a lot of money.

The morale of these Xianbei people was greatly boosted, and the fierce momentum of their attacks caused the enemy to flee in fear. Liu Biao never expected that the 10,000 army on Xiaoyan Pavilion would flee without firing an arrow, and he couldn't take care of the food at the moment, so he ran wildly with the army.

More than 100,000 people saw the iron horses sweeping behind them, and scattered in a hurry, fleeing as far as they could. The Xianbei people who rushed to the front saw more than 1,000 carts of grain and grass, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they didn't go to kill the enemy.

Lei Zi was dumbfounded, such a good opportunity to kill the enemy let these greedy Xianbei people lose it in vain.

Binh Duong Pavilion. Kuai Yue looked up at the sky, his face full of worry. The sun on the horizon is getting redder and redder, and the white clouds are gradually wearing a gorgeous red brocade.

Dusk is coming, why hasn't Yuan Shao's army arrived yet? Twenty miles, do you have to walk for an afternoon?

After the army arrived at Pingyang Pavilion, it immediately launched a fierce battle with the Northern Xinjiang Army. The Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry blocked the Pingyang Pavilion and frequently threatened the battle array, and the news on the battlefield could not be sent, nor could it receive news from Yuan Shao.

At present, the forward army has no superiority in strength on the battlefield of Pingyangting, and cannot break through the defense line of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and only after meeting with Yuan Shao's middle army can it gather superior forces to inflict heavy losses on the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Suddenly, a huge cloud of smoke and dust erupted from between the western sky, quickly engulfing the setting sun and sunset.

Kuai Yue was shocked and changed color. Jump to
