Chapter 0648: Great War
In late August, Yanzhou Changyi City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Yuan Shu entered the city, he wanted to meet the Son of Heaven, but Taifu Liu Pet said: "The Son of Heaven is sick, if there is no emergency, just wait for a few days." ”
Yuan Shu didn't care, and ordered the army to search Changyi City, take away everything that could be taken away, and move the ministers of the court and their families to the city of Zhixiangcheng in Peiguo County.
Taifu Liu Pet was furious and asked Yuan Shudao: "Yuan Highway, what do you want to do?" Plotting to usurp? ”
Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Are you old and confused? Who will plot rebellion? Yanzhou is about to fight, and for the safety of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, I will move them to Peiguo to take refuge. ”
Liu Chong was shocked: "The Yellow Turban Army is here? ”
Yuan Shu said: "It's not that the Yellow Turban Army is here, it's that I'm going to fight with Cao Cao and Liu Bei." These two bastards are plotting to usurp and I'm going to kill them. ”
Liu Chong was so angry that he scolded: "When Cheng Yu left Changyi, he took the Son of Heaven away, he said that you are a rebel, and said that you want to take advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Expeditionary Army to fight in Jizhou to hold the Son of Heaven hostage." Now you say that Cao Cao and Liu Bei are rebellious. Who are you rebels? ”
Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this, rushed up with a punch, and scolded angrily: "You dare to lie to me? Cheng Yu is just the long history of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what qualifications does he have to take away the Son of Heaven? ”
Cheng Yu took away the Son of Heaven and disrupted all Yuan Shu's strategies. The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he beat Liu Chong with his head and face. There is no Son of Heaven to hold him hostage, so he has to hold the Son of Heaven's father hostage.
Then he gave several orders in succession.
"Urgently tell Chang Nu, lead the army to support Ji Ling, be sure to take down Dingtao and save the Son of Heaven."
"Urgently tell Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun that before the end of August, we must rush to Yanzhou to meet. Tell Sun Jian not to waste time in the East China Sea and hurry north. ”
………………
The red sun is rising.
The sound of war drums and trumpets accompanied by a faint morning breeze spread throughout the heavens.
It is often seen that the horse rushes up the high slope in the spring and looks ahead. On the battlefield within a radius of several miles, the flow of people is surging, the flags are dense, and the murderous atmosphere is awe-inspiring.
………………
To the south of the battlefield, Zhang He commanded 6,000 cavalry and his own 8,000 horses, as well as 32,000 troops of Wei Yan, Pan Zhang, Bian Xi, and Mu Shun, a total of 46,000 cavalry troops have been arrayed.
After yesterday's bloody battle, the dead soldiers on both sides had been buried, and the front of the battlefield was full of scarlet blood and broken weapons, and the air was filled with a foul smell of blood.
Zhang He lightly rode his war horse and made one last inspection along the front line of the battle array.
Pan Zhang bowed slightly on his horse and said to Wei Yan: "General Zhang, our troops are ready. ”
Zhang He nodded and said, "The iron cavalry on both wings should use long arrows to cover the middle foot soldiers to tear apart the rebel chariot formation, don't rush to attack." ”
Wei Yan agreed and waved his hand behind him. Several heralds rushed into the battle formation on horseback and told the soldiers of the headquarters of Zhang He's latest orders.
Bian Xi saw Zhang He coming on a horse and hurriedly caught up.
Zhang He didn't say much, and after he greeted Bian Xi, he immediately ordered: "General Bian, tear apart the rebel car formation quickly." As soon as the car formation broke, the iron cavalry of the two generals, Li Jing and Zhao Yun, roared from the east and west flanks of the battlefield, and the battle would soon be over. ”
Bian Xi excitedly agreed.
………………
On the east side of the battlefield, Zhao Yun, Yue Yun, and the 18,000 iron cavalry of the First Cavalry Corps led by Zhao Yun and Zhao Zhao were slowly pressing, and the huge smoke and dust raised by the movement of the army almost obscured the rising sun.
Zhao Yun's expression was cold, and he kept giving orders. In just ten days, he led the army to sneak from the westernmost to the easternmost part of Jizhou, traveling thousands of miles, which made the soldiers a little tired, but it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
………………
To the north of the battlefield, Gao Shun and Wu Ba's 10,000-foot cavalry were ready to attack.
Wu Ba pointed to the smoke and dust rising from the east, shook his head in frustration, and said, "Today we have no chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. ”
"What? Do you want to be trampled to death by your own iron horseman? Gao Shun smiled and pointed to the ground under his feet, "In this battle, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, let's stand here and watch the excitement." ”
Wu Ba hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "We have the least number of people here, will Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng choose our direction to break through?" ”
"Possibly." Gao Shun nodded and said, "However, in the face of the siege of 102,000 people, especially most of them are still iron cavalry, it is a dead end for them to flee wherever they go." ”
………………
To the west of the battlefield, Li Jing, Guan Hai, Xian Yufu and Yan Rou led 28,000 iron cavalry to wait for the battle.
Yan Rou looked up at the southern sky, and said to Li Jing worriedly: "I wonder if Xun Di can hold Liu Biaojun back?" If we can drag Liu Biaojun south of Xinhe, we will be able to rush to the north of Xinhe tonight and eat Xiahoudun. ”
"Yesterday, Liu Beijun has crossed the river to support Liu Biaojun, whether he can eat Xiahoudun depends on whether Xun Di's attack today can be successful." Li Jing said lightly, "If we can completely annihilate Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng in half a day, even if Xun Di doesn't drag Liu Biaojun south of the Xinhe, we can still besiege and kill Xiahou Xuan." ”
"We have an army of 100,000, and it should be no problem to annihilate 35,000 people in half a day." Guan Hai smiled, "Senior Brother Yao, after we killed Gongsun Zhan, you said that the Lord Guild wouldn't order us to directly enter Qingzhou?" ”
Li Jing smiled slightly: "What? Don't you want to encircle and annihilate Cao Cao? ”
Guan Hai said with a smile: "Of course Cao Cao wants to kill, but I think that after killing Gongsun Zhan, Qingzhou has no strength, and we can take the opportunity to occupy Qingzhou." ”
Li Jing nodded and smiled: "If we can occupy Qingzhou this year, it will indeed be of great benefit to pacify the world, maybe the Lord Guild will take it into account." But only if ......"
Li Jing pointed to the battlefield and continued: "We want to win the battle of Dongguang. ”
………………
In the middle of the battlefield, the rebels surrounded by regiments looked lonely and weak, like a lamb to the slaughter, terrified.
Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng were completely desperate, they never thought that there would be so many people in the Northern Frontier Army surrounding them, they even suspected that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had retreated, and the other two Northern Frontier armies on the battlefield had rushed here.
"We can't break through." Gongsun Chan smiled bitterly, "If Xiahoudun retreats now, they may still have a glimmer of hope." ”
Ma Teng looked up to the sky and sighed, without saying a word.
"The Northern Frontier Army in the north of the battlefield has the smallest number of troops, and if we want to break through, we can only choose the north." Guan Jing said very calmly, "After the battle between the two sides, due to the small number of people in the north of the battlefield, and the iron cavalry in the east rushed into the center of the battlefield, there will be a short period of undefended in the northeast of the battlefield. We gathered hundreds of elite iron horsemen and rushed out from here. At the beginning of the war, the Northern Frontier Army did not have time to catch up with us. ”
Gongsun Chan and Ma Teng seemed to see a life-saving straw, and their hearts suddenly ignited a desire to survive.
"Let's go back to Qingzhou directly." Gongsun Chan waved his fists and shouted through gritted teeth, "We still have a chance to defeat Li Yi." ”
………………
Xu Shu hurried to Chang Yuchun's side and said in a deep voice: "Boren, Xiahoudun hasn't launched an attack yet. ”
"Are there any signs of retreat?" Chang Yuchun hurriedly asked.
Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Not at the moment." ”
Chang Yuchun looked at the sky and said: "Xun Di has already started to attack, let's start it too, and fight quickly, so as not to let Xiahoudun retreat to the south of Xinhe and delay the time for total annihilation." ”
Chang Yuchun raised the horsewhip in his hand, waved it fiercely, and ordered: "Beat the drum...... Attack ......"
………………
The sound of drums was earth-shattering, cracking stones pierced the clouds, and Xiaoliang Pavilion shook at this moment.
The Iron Cavalry army on the east side of the battlefield suddenly accelerated, and a huge roar suddenly exploded, and flying smoke and dust rushed up.
The iron cavalry army on the west side of the battlefield rushed to the battlefield like a tidal wave that broke the embankment, carrying a violent wind and thunder.
The army on the south side of the battlefield shouted all the way, like a raging hurricane, devastated and swept towards the center of the battlefield.
………………
The rebels are like a flat boat in a flood, like a pillar of reef in the stormy waves, helplessly watching the catastrophe roaring.
Ma Teng gathered all the iron cavalry and killed him to the east of the battlefield, completely ignoring the northern iron cavalry that killed from behind. In the absence of any chance of winning, there is only a sworn fight to the death, fighting with life, and killing one is counted as one.
Gongsun Zhan commanded the Qingzhou Army to rely on a thin vehicle formation to block the Northern Xinjiang Army from the front, and he also completely abandoned the right flank and the back.
Behind him is Gao Shun's army. Gao Shun did not enter the battlefield because of the small number of troops, and was only responsible for blocking the rebels from breaking through, and his right flank was Li Jing's iron cavalry, and he was unstoppable, so he could only let him kill.
………………
"Boom" There was a loud bang, and the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry collided head-on on the battlefield, and the sound ......of fierce fighting resounded in the sky in an instant.
Zhao Yun roared loudly, and the spear in his hand was like lightning in the air, stabbing three people in a row.
A bloody spear tip suddenly fell from the sky and pierced Zhao Yunmian's door. Zhao Yun instinctively lowered his head and flashed, the spear pierced his battle helmet, roaring past his head, and a few drops of flying blood hit his face.
Before Zhao Yun could raise his head, a terrifying howl had already been remembered in his ears, and his guard horse pierced through the enemy rider just now at the fastest speed, and sent his body flying high.
Zhao Yun was furious, at this time he did not have the usual elegance, like a mad demon rushed forward to kill, the spear in his hand was like a crazy beast wantonly devouring the enemy's life, and his mouth roared again and again: "Kill, kill...... Kill me ......"
………………
Li Jing's 28,000 iron cavalry entered the battlefield without any hindrance.
Li Jing and Guan Hai led their troops to run wildly, chasing after the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and shooting wantonly. And Xian Yufu and Yan Rou rushed towards the Gongsun Army and slashed at will.
Wei Yan and Pan Zhang controlled the speed of the army's march, and suppressed the Gongsun army's arrow array with long arrows flying all over the sky.
The army of infantry soldiers of Bian Xi and Mu Shun raised their shields and quickly entered the chariot formation, starting a bloody battle with the Gongsun army.
The infantry army in the northern Xinjiang was too numerous and had a clear advantage, and in a short period of time it tore through the enemy's vehicle formation and opened up two passages.
Seeing that the passage of advance was opened, the horn sounded in an instant, and the cavalry on both sides suddenly accelerated, and plunged into the hinterland of the Gongsun army like two long arrows off the string. (To be continued.) )
