Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 9 Chasing the Central Plains Section 71
"Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry ......" Xin Ping's frightened scream went straight to Kuai Yue's ears, "We were fooled, the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry didn't leave, they are all here, all here." โฎ Yan Mo Xuan โฎNo Ads โฎ"
"Drumming...... Drumming ......" Kuai Yue turned his head suddenly, stared at the herald behind him with wide eyes, and roared wildly, "Order all departments, form a battle to the death, form a battle to the death." โ
"Order Xiahou Yuan and Wen Ping to immediately stop attacking Pingyang Pavilion, shrink the defense, fast, fast ......"
The drums soared into the sky, shaking the heavens.
The coalition forces were in a panic, and everyone was panicked, looking nervously at the billowing smoke and dust that swept from the western sky.
The Yanzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army, which were leading their troops to attack Pingyang Pavilion, quickly withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to the car formation as fast as possible.
Lu Yi, Lรผ Bu, and Yan Liang each led a large army to advance rapidly from the east and north directions of Pingyang Pavilion, directly killing the allied army's vehicle formation, intending to tear apart the enemy's defensive line. The two sides fought fiercely again, and the fighting became more and more fierce.
An army of foot soldiers was the first to rush out of the horizon and rush all the way to the battlefield.
"It seems like a deserter, a deserter from us." Xiahou Yuan, who had just arrived in the middle of the battle, pointed in front of him with an extremely frightened expression, "The middle army is probably wiped out. โ
Kuai Yue, Xin Ping, Guan Yu and others were cold, and their eyes showed despair. If Yuan Shao's mid-route army was completely annihilated, then the 60,000 men of the forward army would be surrounded by more than 100,000 infantry cavalry regiments in northern Xinjiang, without any hope of escaping.
"Impossible, impossible." Xin Ping said in a trembling voice, "There are more than 40,000 people in the middle of the army. Even if the Northern Iron Cavalry surrounded them, they would be able to hold out until dusk. Brother Jingsheng's army was behind, and the Northern Xinjiang Army did not have time to completely annihilate the army of the Middle Road. โ
"That's a deserter." Guan Yu's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he lamented in a low voice, "We are surrounded." โ
Before Guan Yu could finish speaking, the horse suddenly raised its front hooves and neighed, and then the other people's mounts also began to be irritable and neighed.
The ground began to tremble, and the long sound of a horn came in the wind from the distant sky. The roar of the galloping horses also pierced through the thick dust and mist and soared into the sky, and the bloody murderous aura rushed to the face like a roaring hurricane, making everyone shudder.
"They're coming, they're coming......" Liu Pan's face changed suddenly, and he screamed in horror, "Oh my God, where did this come from?" Why don't we know anything? โ
The Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry rushed out of the smoke and dust that obscured the sky, and they were like a huge and terrifying Netherworld army suddenly tearing open the heavens and the earth, roaring out of the boundless huge cracks, with a majestic momentum.
Kuai Yue and the others were shocked by the astonishing momentum of the iron cavalry army, and one by one they were colorless, and they rode their horses back. The whole body trembled involuntarily, and the breath of death suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield.
"What to do? What are we going to do? Xin Ping cried out at the top of his voice, "What are we going to do?" โ
"Hold on, hold on to the battle formation." Kuai Yue raised his hand and shouted, "All the adults go back to their own formations and swear to stick to it." โ
"We don't have enough food and grass to carry on to it, how can we hold on? Until when? Xiahou Yuan waved the horsewhip in his hand vigorously, and shouted angrily, "Break through, break through immediately, take advantage of the fact that the Northern Frontier Army has not completely surrounded us, immediately break through and rush out one by one." โ
"Breaking out now is purely self-defeating." Kuai Yue turned around and glared at Xiahou Yuan, "Break through when it's dark, wait until it's dark to break through." โ
"When it gets dark, we won't be able to rush out." Xiahou Yuan waved his arms and roared frantically, "More than 100,000 Northern Frontier troops rushed up, how can we defend it?" If you want to die, you can keep it, I'm leaving. Xiahou Yuan turned the horse's head and whipped it down, "Go, go, go quickly......"
"My lord, break through, break through immediately." Guan Yu arched his hand at Kuai Yue, "The iron horse is still about two miles away from us, and a few people can escape if we rush out now, and if we delay a little longer, none of us will be able to escape." He kicked the horse in the belly and galloped away.
"Let's go, let's go, break through...... Xin Ping whipped down, turned around and left, "Brother Xeno, don't hesitate, break through." โ
Kuai Yue closed his eyes and sighed in pain. The Central Plains War, which lasted five months, ended in a fiasco.
"My lord......" Wen Ping shouted loudly, "The battle formation has been broken, and if you don't leave, you have to go." โ
"Let's go, let's break through." Kuai Yue opened his eyes suddenly, raised his head and roared, "Break through ......"
The coalition battle formation suddenly broke.
Xiahou Yuan took the lead in discarding all the baggage with the Yanzhou army and evacuated to the southeast.
Then the Xuzhou army followed, and the soldiers scrambled to be the first, rushing all the way.
The Henan Army and the Jingzhou Army threw off their strides and hurried towards the northwest.
"The rebels fled." Koji Yi looked at the battlefield in front of him and said in disbelief, "Is Kuai Yue crazy?" Can you get out of this way? โ
"It's a good way to get out." Jia Xu sneered, "The lives of the soldiers don't matter to them, they just need to save their lives." โ
"My lord, can we chase after us?" Wu Ye asked eagerly.
"Some of the rebels fled in the direction of the Pushui River, and some fled in the direction of the Yellow River, both of which were dead ends." Koji Yi shook his head, "Two legs can't outrun four legs anyway, so leave this matter of chasing the enemy to the Iron Cavalry." He waved his hand at Wu Ye, "Order all departments, immediately reorganize the army, and kill Yancheng overnight." โ
Wu Ye looked at the battlefield regretfully, "Why did the rebels flee so quickly?" Anyway, you have to hold on until the evening and fight us. โ
"What to fight? His Highness requisitioned 70,000 horsemen from the desert to the south, in order to preserve our strength. After all the people have been beaten, how will the battle be fought in the future? Koji Yi glared at him, "Go and give the order......"
"We have 100,000 iron horsemen, are we still afraid that we won't be able to defeat Luoyang?" Wu Ye pursed his lips disdainfully, "Yuan Shao is done this time." โ
"Luoyang?" Koji Yi raised his horsewhip and slapped him gently, "Is it okay for you kid to be sober?" After the desert iron cavalry finished this battle, they will go north and return to the desert, and it is up to us to take the Central Plains completely. Quick, give me the order to go, and don't rub around here. โ
Wu Ye didn't dare to delay, and flew away like a horse.
"Where are we going to hit this time?" Koji Yi turned his head to look at Jia Xu.
"Hit Xingyang to the west and Xuchang to the south." Jia Xu waved his horsewhip and shouted excitedly, "The Central Plains is just around the corner." โ
Xian Yuyin and Li Su led 5,000 iron cavalry to attack the battlefield from the southeast direction of Pingyang Pavilion, and when they saw the coalition army suddenly rushing towards them, they were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly commanded the army to kill head-on with a wild goose formation.
The Yanzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army were suddenly in chaos. The soldiers rushed and fled.
Xiahou Yuan, Cai Yang, Wang Zhong and others took more than 600 personal guards and rode directly into the right wing of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry. Now if you want to fight your way out of the encirclement, you have to fight with your life. Almost at the same time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also led a team of light cavalry to kill the left wing of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry.
The iron horsemen of 5,000 men charged in a wild goose formation, and their wings were thin. Xiahou Yuan and Guan Yu took the opportunity to successfully break through with hundreds of personal horsemen.
Xian Yuyin and Li Su had no time to worry about anything else at the moment, and led the army to rush forward in order to disperse the enemy's formation, block the enemy's escape speed, and let the follow-up army cover the killing.
In the northwest direction of the battlefield, Xian Yufu and Gongsun Xu led 5,000 iron cavalry to gallop wildly, shouting a fierce battle.
Li Hong did not expect that the rebels' strongest vanguard army would collapse before he could launch a strong attack, which made him ecstatic.
For more than ten years, this is the easiest decisive battle for himself. After more than five months of bloody battles, the Northern Xinjiang Army finally ushered in the long-awaited ending, and tens of thousands of soldiers exchanged their blood and lives for the final victory in the Central Plains War.
The Northern Xinjiang army roared with joy, and the huge waves smashed onto the battlefield one after another, and the heavens and the earth were shaken.
"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet......" Li Hong raised his spear and said hoarsely, "Kill it, annihilate the enemy army, annihilate the enemy army......
The roaring sound of the horn soared into the sky, the thunderous killing sound shocked the four fields, and the overwhelming army set off layers of huge waves like a tsunami to destroy the battlefield with a devastating momentum.
Zhao Yun, Liu Bao, Arc Ding and others each led a large army and roared to the northwest.
Yan Wuxing, Lou Lu, Badun and others led the army to the southeast to chase fiercely.
Ji Ling and He Yi stopped with the fugitives, they were deep in the battlefield, and there were galloping Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry everywhere in front of them, and they were in danger.
"Quick, raise the banner, raise the Panther battle flag." Ji Ling screamed and shouted like crazy, lest his army be killed by the iron horseman.
Originally, Li Hong ordered them to rush into the battle formation of the rebel vanguard army as fugitives, and then launch an attack, tearing apart the battle formation of the vanguard army and opening a passage for the attack of the iron cavalry army. However, things changed far beyond their expectations, and before they could run near the vanguard formation, the elite of the 60,000 coalition army collapsed on their own.
Having lost the target of the attack, the iron cavalry army in the rear roared again, and the soldiers were all in danger, and this army could collapse again at any time. If these thousands of people disperse in a hurry, the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry will not hesitate to kill them all.
Ji Ling and He Yi were so anxious that they were in a hurry. At this moment, Li Hong arrived with a team of iron horsemen and surrounded them.
"General......" Ji Ling took He Yi and fell down in front of Li Hong, grateful.
"We won this battle." Li Hong pulled the two up, pointed to the battlefield with smoke and dust, and was full of spirit, "Wherever my northern iron cavalry goes, it is invincible." โ
The sunset is like blood.
The Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry successfully surrounded the fleeing rebels in the southeast and northwest directions of Pingyang Pavilion.
The general hurriedly ordered the prisoners to be surrendered, and not to be killed.
The rebels had no way to escape and surrendered one after another, and nearly 40,000 rebel soldiers were escorted back to Pingyang Pavilion.
The curtain is quietly falling.
In the big tent of the Chinese army in Pingyang Pavilion, it is clear.
General Li Hong, General Xian Yufu of the Left Guard, General Li Yi of the Left Guard, Zhang Yan of the Right General, General Yu Shi of Wuwei, General Yan Liang of Hulie, General Zhao Yun of Long Xiang and more than a dozen generals of Northern Xinjiang gathered in the big tent to congratulate the victory.
"Immediately report to Handan and tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess that we have won, and we have won the Central Plains War." Li Hongxi smiled and said loudly, "Also, hurry up to Jinyang, we win, we can fight Luoyang immediately." โ
"General, the good news has been sent." Jia Xu excitedly arched his hand and said, "Tens of thousands of soldiers from the southern and northern armies have set off and are advancing towards Yancheng overnight. โ
"Okay, good ......" Li Hong strode to the map, pointed to the city of Hanoi on the map, and said to the two cities of Hujia, "Urgently tell Peng Lie and Mustafa, the two adults, immediately launch an attack, and quickly advance to the line of Huaicheng and Pinggao, strive to occupy the entire territory of Hanoi, and the troops will approach the Yellow River and approach Luoyang." โ
"General, the order has been given." Zhang Yan said with a smile, "In addition, I have urgently told Lord Yan Rou, the general of Zhenbei, to ask him to lead the army to the front line of Junyi and Zhongmu immediately, cut off the rebels' southward retreat, and capture Chenliu and Kaifeng." โ
"Okay, good ......" Li Hong nodded again and again, "Hanoi wants to increase troops." We must take advantage of the situation to attack and take the whole territory of Hanoi as quickly as possible, without any delay. He looked at the generals in the tent, pointing to Wen Chou, Wang Dang, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Xiu, "The four adults immediately led the army north and crossed the river from Qingshuikou to meet Peng Lie." Remember, the attack must be fierce, around the end of September and the beginning of October, I must be hit to Heyang, Chen Bing Huanghe. โ
The four of them bowed down to receive the order.
"General, are we going to attack Xuzhou immediately?" Jia Xu twisted his short beard and said with a smile, "The timing of the attack is very suitable at this moment. โ
"Can the grain and grass be delivered in time?" Li Hong turned his head to look at Fu Gan.
"We originally intended to attack Xuzhou after the war, so we allocated a batch of grain and grass in advance to Lord Zang Ba in Qingzhou and Lord Chen Gong and Lord Wu Dun in Rencheng." Fu Gan replied, "If their attack goes well, after they reach Pengcheng, they should be able to get food and grass replenishment on the spot." โ
"You mean that in the short term, we won't have any grain and grass to allocate to Zang Ba and Chen Gong?"
Fu Gan smiled apologetically and nodded, "At present, the Hedong battlefield is still fighting, the Hanoi battlefield is about to start in full swing, and the Henan battlefield is estimated to be fought at least until the end of this month to stabilize the front, so ......"
Li Hong frowned and turned his head to look at Zhang Yan.
"Tell Zang Ba and Chen Gong that the battlefield in Xuzhou is too far away from the Central Plains, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass, so please see the opportunity." Zhang Yan said, "Xuzhou can take it, and if you can't take it, you can give it up." Our immediate targets are Luoyang and Guanzhong, and it is impossible to put too many troops and money and food into the Xuzhou battlefield. โ
"Deliver as Feiyan commands." Li Hong did not hesitate at all, waved his hand and said to Fu Gan, "In addition, move the Great General Xingyuan to Dingtao immediately." โ
All the generals were stunned except for Xian Yufu.
"General, aren't you going back to Jinyang?" Jia Xu asked in surprise.
"The Kyoto of the Han Dynasty is Luoyang, not Jinyang." Li Hong looked at the generals and said with a firm expression, "After Luoyang, we will go back to Kyoto with the Son of Heaven." โ
