Chapter 164: Zhao Zilong
In the Yuzhong confrontation array, the morale of the Liangzhou rebels was high, and they were eager to try in front of the battle, shouting and scolding loudly at the camp of the state capital, and some Qiang people took off their cross-pants and turned over with their black butts against the Han army camp, and the cavalry running in front of the formation pointlessly threw arrows into the open space where the two armies faced each other, as if when their generals killed the Han generals in a heads-up, they could be regarded as insulting the Han army no matter what they did.
In fact, it was true, at this moment, no matter what they did, Yan Xing, who was sweeping the formation, would not feel strange and ashamed, but instead straddled and immediately chatted loudly with Cheng Yin and the others, and from time to time burst out into a burst of laughter that was enough to make people feel panicked, which was extremely rampant.
On the contrary, it is the camp of the Han army, although they have many soldiers and horses, but at this time they are like defeated roosters, hiding behind the camp with low eyebrows, the soldiers whisper something, and from time to time glance at the camp to look at the disgust, some bold Han troops are clenched their fists tightly, eager to immediately go out of the village to share life and death with the hateful rebel generals, but in the final analysis, they dare not take a step out of the camp.
The world is interesting, when Han Sui led an army of 100,000 to meet them in Yuzhong, the rebel camps all over the Great and Small Elm Valley did not make them afraid; When the two of them confronted each other in formation at the mouth of the valley, the sand and dust of the Qiang people riding everywhere did not make them afraid. But on the contrary, just such a Yan Xing ran to the outside of the village with an iron spear to scold the battle and invite the battle, even if they knew that Yan Xing was just one person, and several state generals who were known for their bravery were killed by the iron spear one after another, who could not be afraid?
Because Yan Xing didn't really run alone in front of tens of thousands of troops to show off his might, behind him were 100,000 rebel soldiers in the big and small elm valleys, and they used this place as their pasture, without shying away.
This has to mention the importance of Yuzhong's location for the state capital. This is just like the importance of the Korean Peninsula to the Central Plains Dynasty in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, and every decline of the Central Plains Dynasty began with the loss of control of the Korean Peninsula. And this scope has been narrowed down to today's Liangzhou, and every time the state capital bows to the rebels, it also starts from the loss of Yuzhong. This is the junction of four counties, there is a large and small elm valley in the west of Jincheng County, the road between the two valleys is wide but the terrain is difficult to walk, and finally converges in Yuzhong and then is a horse and a flat river.
In Yuzhong, the north is the entrance to the Wuwei Desert, the east is Hanyang, where the state is located, and the south can directly take Longxi, so for the Liangzhou rebels, seizing control of Yuzhong is equivalent to obtaining a pass for the four counties of Liangzhou. In the past, every rebel attack began with the acquisition of Yuzhong. It was only this time that the Han army had already taken precautions, which made it difficult for Han Sui to give full play to his military superiority in defending Yugu.
They were blocked at the exit of the big and small elm valleys, even if the total strength of the Han army was only three or four tenths of Han Sui, in the relatively narrow terrain of Yuzhong, the strength of the two sides was almost the same, and even in the rapid assembly of troops and horses, the Han army still had a faint advantage. After all, Ma Teng set up camp on the open terrain at the mouth of Yugu, blocking their way forward.
In the array of ten thousand armies, the gate of the village suddenly opened, Zhao Yun rode out alone, and stopped outside the camp to look at the rebel generals who were showing off their might on the opposite side...... The morale has fallen to the point that it can no longer be left unchecked, otherwise in another half a day, until the majority of the rebels attack early tomorrow morning, even if they are stationed in the camp, the soldiers may not dare to fight.
In the camp, Yang Fuzheng sent people to look for Zhao Yun, and suddenly heard his subordinates tell him that Zhao Yun had ridden out of the village alone. How can you be brave again at this time? ”
What he said was to be brave again, because at noon he had already succeeded, and went out of the city to meet Yan Xing, but he was swept off his horse by an iron spear after fighting Sanhe, if it weren't for the sons of the Ma clan to lead the army to ride and rob it, he would have to go underground to accompany the dead state pastor, where would he have the opportunity to recuperate in the tent?
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Zhao Yun was facing the battle, he couldn't take care of his injuries, so he ran to the gate of the village, and said to his subordinates as he ran: "Go and call General Ma, be sure to save Zilong!" ”
Ma Yunlu, who was looking forward to the camp, was extremely surprised when he heard this, and asked Yang Fu, who ran up the wall, "General Zhao still needs to be saved?" That Yan Xing can't even fight Brother Nu, so he's not a hero! ”
"It's not a hero, he's certainly not a hero if he's attached to the rebels!" Yang Fu gasped, looked nervously at the camp, and said, "But you don't know how powerful they are!" ”
Ma Yunlu threw out his eyes, I don't know how powerful they are? It's that you don't know how powerful Zhao Yun is!
Zhao Yun's departure from the camp did not bring much encouragement to his morale, and many soldiers in the camp shook their heads and sighed when they looked at Zhao Yun's back riding a horse...... Most of the Han soldiers recruited from various counties in Liangzhou didn't even know who Zhao Yun was, so they just looked at the back and said: "It's over, it's over, another one is going to die, you see that the generals in Liangzhou are all big-shouldered and round-waisted, and this thin-waisted cavalry general, I'm afraid it's not enough...... God bless! ”
Before the old man in the city who spoke cool words finished speaking, Zhao Yun had already ridden and moved, neither rushing towards Yan Xing nor rushing towards the generals of Liangzhou, but just riding his horse towards the middle of the grassland clearing, looking around left and right, holding a spear and waving his weapon at the Liangzhou rebel generals scattered everywhere.
Provocation!
"Don't rob Cheng about this, this white-faced rider looks a little interesting. Look at you, look at Lao Tzu and ask for milk! There was not much morale in the Han army, but the generals in the rebel army came one after another, shouting and laughing continuously, the first was Cheng Yin, who carried a long axe and slapped the horse to meet Zhao Yun, shouting: "There is another one who is not afraid of death, that little Han general, report your name!" ”
Not only did Cheng Yin pat the horse, but even the candidates, horse play and others also stepped forward, but they didn't plan to grab food with Cheng Yin, but they just paced the horse dozens of steps away, blocking Zhao Yun's room to go around and around, like a group of tigers staring at a lone sheep.
Yan Xing also stepped forward, but saw that Liang Xing in the distance not only did not move forward, but instead retreated from his horse and looked towards this side from time to time, and when he was wondering again, Cheng Yin had already exchanged hands with Zhao Yun in front, and then taught him to see a shocking scene.
Zhao Yun didn't answer Cheng Yin's thoughts, but just twisted his body to meet Cheng Yin, Cheng Yin was furious, and after more than ten steps of the long axe, he had already swung over his head, wanting to kill Zhao Yun with the state of splitting Huashan, and in a blink of an eye, the big axe had collided with the iron spear, and the deafening sound of gold and stone filled the battlefield.
It was thankless to block the long axe with the barrel of the gun, Zhao Yun snorted, leaned down to remove the huge force carried on the spear, and then the tail of the gun swept to Cheng Yin. Cheng Yin's riding skills are superb, he leaned back to avoid the iron spear, the two sides were on the wrong horse, and he was about to get up, but he screamed violently and fell off the horse.
Zhao Yun's gun was being pulled out from Cheng Yin's back heart, bringing out a large splash of blood, and then galloping towards the nearest candidate without abating, and said in his mouth: "I am Chang Shan, Zhao Zilong!" ”
