Chapter 0504: The First Battle of Panhe
Xu Huang's heart suddenly tightened, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he asked solemnly: "This is Panhe?" ”
"Yes, it's called Panhe for more than a hundred miles around here." Lao Wang said with a smile, "There are dozens of big rivers that flow from the southwest to the northeast here, and the largest of them are the Tuxiao River and the Maji River. The closest to us is the Horse Cheek River, about thirty miles away, and we will be there in the afternoon. ”
Xu Huang waved the horsewhip in his hand vigorously, and scolded with extreme annoyance: "A bunch of useless scouts. Someone ...... coming."
Several heralds hurried over.
Xu Huang said loudly: "Quick, order the scout Tun, don't look for any Panhe, immediately go to the direction of the Mache River to inquire about the military situation, quickly, quickly......"
"Urgently report to General Li Jing that the Pan River is not a river, but a flooding of the Yellow River. I immediately led my army to the Horse Cheek River, and asked the general to hurry to rendezvous. ”
"Urgently order Yang Feng, who is in the front army, to quickly seize the Maji River."
………………
Lao Song ran out of breath, and complained to Lao Wang while running: "You are ...... What's going on...... What did you say to Captain Xu? You...... Did you offend Captain Xu? This...... Isn't it a punishment? ”
Lao Wang glared at him, and shouted angrily: "I told you not to be lazy in your training, you don't listen, and now you are suffering, right?" ”
"You're tall...... Big...... And to eat, like a cow, of course...... I was able to run. Saying that, Lao Song took the quiver off his back, "Hey, give it to me...... Recite it. ”
The scout came galloping on horseback, walked in front of the military Sima Yang Feng, and reported loudly: "Report, the enemy has crossed the river, five miles to the southeast. ”
After Yang Feng was captured, he wisely chose to surrender and became a military commander in the Northern Frontier Army. In this Jizhou War, he was assigned to Xu Huang's command and became the leader of the 500 people in the front army.
Yang Feng wiped the sweat from his head and asked calmly, "How many people?" ”
"There are about one soldier and nearly two thousand people." The scout said anxiously, "They're crossing the river." ”
"It's still too late." Yang Feng waved his hand and said, "Immediately ask Captain Xu for help, quickly." ”
"Command the brethren, to march haste, and prepare for a bloody battle."
………………
After crossing the river, Gongsun's army immediately occupied three slopes near the river bank and a hill two hundred paces away.
Deng Yong, the military waiter, was still a Yellow Turban Army more than ten days ago, and when he was frightened, he became a Gongsun Army in a daze.
But as long as he has food to eat and clothes to wear, he doesn't care. The rebellious general Gongsun Zan treated the soldiers well, not only gave the soldiers a military salary of 100 yuan each, but also promised that as long as they conquered Wei County and Yecheng, each person's military salary would be doubled, and an additional 30 acres of land would be rewarded.
This was like a dream for the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and Gongsun Chan suddenly became a god in their minds to save the suffering.
Everyone happily marched westward with their weapons, and who knew that as soon as they left the boundary of Bohai County, they received the news that the Jizhou army was coming quickly.
The scout's face was blank, and Deng Yong also looked flustered, and asked in a somewhat trembling voice, "Have you seen clearly?" ”
The scout nodded again and again, and stammered: "See clearly, it must be the official army." ”
Deng Yong scolded a few words and sighed that he was unlucky. It is still more than 300 miles away from Wei County, and it is also the Yellow Flood Area, the safest place, how can there be officials and soldiers? It's really unlucky, it seems that the money on his body can't be saved, and the dozens of acres of land promised by the rebellious general have also been lost.
But Deng Yong was reluctant to exchange his life for these things, and he also wanted to save some money to bring his mother's remains back to his hometown for burial. My mother starved to death in a valley in Mount Tai, and when she died, she had only one wish, that is, to go home.
Deng Yong thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Withdraw...... Withdraw the ...... of the Horse Cheek River"
The more than 400 soldiers who crossed the river in advance were inexplicable, why did they cross the river and go back? It was windy and rainy on this day, and everyone was frozen, deliberately making us poor.
When everyone was scolding, the military Sima on the other side replied, not allowed to withdraw, speed up the river, and the reinforcements would arrive immediately.
Deng Yong is in a hurry, let's stop the Jizhou army with so many men? A flurry of arrows was gone. Do you want people to live? Isn't this a bent on us to die?
He glanced at the guard behind him, and the guard understood it, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Brothers, the officers and soldiers are coming, run quickly......
Sergeant Gongsun was taken aback and involuntarily looked back.
On the hill in the distance, the Northern Xinjiang Army was roaring with its battle flag held high.
More than 1,000 people ...... bombed the camp and scattered.
Deng Yong didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly, and he couldn't help but shudder, and shouted: "Beat the drum...... Drum ...... Hold the embankment, hold the embankment......"
………………
The king was running wildly, beads of sweat dripping down his cheeks, splashes of muddy water flying in front of him, and the sound of his breathing was so loud that he could barely hear the roaring arrows.
The enemy troops on the embankment were dressed in rags, some carried rudimentary spears, some carried notched swords, and some even carried a wooden stick. Those with bows had no arrows, and those with arrows were running back and forth to deliver arrows, and many people were under the command of several superiors, who were facing themselves to kill.
This group of people is too familiar, they are not the Gongsun Army, they are the Yellow Turban Army.
Lao Wang hesitated, he quickly looked at his left and right, the soldiers were the same as himself, although they were still running and shouting with all their might, but the expressions on their faces were very puzzled: Is our opponent the Yellow Turban Army?
"Spread out...... Disperse...... Kill the ......," Jun Sima Yang Feng shouted hysterically, shouting, "Occupy the river embankment ......"
Although the enemy's arrow array was very sparse, there were still soldiers who fell one after another. A galloping soldier was pierced by an arrow, screamed and flew upside down, then fell heavily into the muddy water.
Lao Wang couldn't dodge, and stepped on the soldier's head, and the screams stopped abruptly. Lao Wang's heart trembled, and the kick that followed suddenly lost his strength, and his tall body suddenly fell out and rushed into the mud.
"Lao Wang...... Lao Wang ......" Lao Song, who was more than a dozen steps away, roared frantically, "Are you dead......
Lao Wang screamed, stood up with a rolling belt, and said loudly: "Go, go, go......"
"Ah......" With a terrible howl, the first few soldiers who met the enemy were immediately cut down by a group of strong enemies, and a bloody corpse was raised high by three spears, and smashed into the approaching northern Xinjiang soldiers.
The old king roared and raised his shield to block the oncoming corpse, but the huge impact still smashed him back a few steps, fell to the ground on his back, and then rolled straight down the muddy embankment.
A few soldiers who rushed to him couldn't dodge, some stepped on his body and rushed up, and some were knocked down by Lao Wang and planted together.
Lao Wang was angry and roared again and again: "Kill, kill......"
Bloody shields fell from the sky. The old man who rose into the air smashed open the enemy's head with a shield, and the war knife in his hand plunged into the chest of another enemy, and the steaming blood shot him head and face like an arrow.
Lao Wang was covered in mud and blood, frightened and terrifying, and roared angrily: "Kill, kill everyone, kill me all, kill all ......"
Lao Song led people to kill seven people all the way, and rushed into the river with great momentum. The five Gongsun sergeants of the small raft were chopped off and shot through the chest and abdomen, and the red blood instantly stained the water of the horse's cheeks.
Deng Yong, under the desperate protection of several guards, jumped on a raft, and before he could sit down, Lao Wang led someone to kill him. The crossbow roared, and three sharp crossbow arrows pierced the raft in an instant.
One of Deng Yong's personal guards called out, and Lao Wang didn't have time to dodge, so he roared wildly and raised his shield and hit it. The guard was hit hard, opening his mouth and spurting out a mouthful of blood.
Lao Wang gritted his teeth, kicked him over, raised his crossbow and aimed it at his head, and smashed it, roaring angrily: "Go to death......
The next moment, the crossbow shattered, and brains and blood shot out.
Deng Yong staggered towards the middle of the river, but Lao Wang struggled to catch up, grabbed one of his feet and dragged him to the shore. A soldier picked up a spear and pierced him alive in Deng Yong's terrible howl.
Deng Yong tried his best to hold the spear that penetrated his chest and abdomen with both hands, and shouted with the last bit of strength: "Mother...... Mother...... Coming home......"
The soldier was so frightened that he let go of the hilt of his spear with both hands, turned and ran.
Lao Wang sat in the river, looking at Deng Yong dumbfounded, at this moment, his heart was as cold as the river.
Within more than 100 steps of the river embankment and the riverside, the soldiers of both sides were entangled and killed. The strong strength of the officers and men of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the tacit cooperation, and the sophisticated weapons are simply not something that these Yellow Turban soldiers who have just surrendered to the Gongsun Army can resist. It didn't take long for the embankment to be full of their corpses.
The Gongsun soldiers on the opposite bank did not dare to forcibly cross the river again, and under the command of Shangguan, they quickly gathered together to shoot arrows intensively, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, and shot them together.
Yang Feng held a shield in one hand and a bloody war knife in the other, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Withdraw, withdraw......"
Lao Wang stretched out his hand and pulled down the spear inserted in Deng Yong's body, and finally glanced at Deng Yong, who was already angry, and said in a choked voice: "Brother, don't blame me, we are all poor people." ”
After Xu Huang received Yang Feng's request for help, he immediately ordered the soldiers of all tribes to abandon all heavy objects, take only spears and war knives, and rush to help. By the time they reached the Horse Cheek River, the bloody battle was over.
Xu Huang ordered all his troops to occupy the hills and slopes, set up horses and antlers, and prepare to block the crossing of the river by the Gongsun army.
Almost at the same time, the 3,000 Gongsun army, under the leadership of the school captain Yan Gang, also rushed to the Mache River, but the time to cross the river had been missed.
Yang Feng led 500 soldiers and seized the Maji River at the cost of losing 110 men. Xu Huang rewarded them and personally led people to bury the remains of the fallen soldiers. (To be continued.) )
