Of course, Li Yi didn't want to kill all these people, and when he saw that the fire was almost there, he said to Ji Ling: "Give you two choices, either you watch them all die here, or you take them to Pingyang Pavilion immediately." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

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." ”

"It's not to kill Pingyang Pavilion, but to flee to Pingyang Pavilion." Li Yi looked up at the sky, his face showing anxiety, "Before dark, I must break through the rebels' battle formation and start a siege. If we fail to break through the rebels before dark, they will take advantage of the darkness to break through, and our losses will increase, and the number of rebels fleeing will increase. 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 Yi patted him on the shoulder with a cold expression and said, "After tearing up the battle formation, immediately withdraw from the battlefield flank, don't be accidentally injured by the cavalry of our army." ”

Ji Ling looked at Li Yi gratefully and bowed to retire.

………………

Twenty miles northeast of Yancheng, Xiaoyan Pavilion.

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

When they walked near Xiaoyan Pavilion, the scouts quickly reported back and found the Northern Frontier cavalry in front.

"How many? How many people are there? Liu Biao was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen 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 Xu Xuan and Gan Ning in front, 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 retreat immediately and withdraw to Yancheng." ”

"Withdraw?" Feng Ji looked at Liu Biao with wide eyes, and said angrily, "Brother Jingsheng, we must rush to Pingyang Pavilion tonight. The 250,000 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 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 to fight a war?" The cavalry roared, and these people scattered in a hurry, and the weight of grain and grass was in danger. Without food and grass, how many days can the 250,000 troops in front hold out? Keeping the grain and grass baggage, even if the 250,000 troops in front of us withdraw, we can still hold on to the line of Yancheng and Wating, and then reorganize the army and continue the attack. ”

Feng Ji was speechless for a while.

Liu Biao was right, the allied army did not have much grain and grass, and if it was successfully burned by this 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 250,000 army in front is fighting Pingyang, Li Yi is in this critical situation, it is impossible to send a limited number of cavalry to the Yancheng area to attack us, this must be just a small force of cavalry, the purpose 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 cavalry. They saw that our morale was high, and they were determined to fight, and they would definitely withdraw. ”

Liu Biao shook his hand and flatly refused: "Scouts will not lie about the military situation. Li Yi didn't have to think about it, and he also knew that our rear army was going to escort grain and grass to Pingyang Pavilion, and he was very likely to take a dangerous fight and transfer all the cavalry to fight us. ”

Liu Biao waved his hand at the herald standing beside him, and ordered, "Urgently tell all departments, protect the people and baggage, withdraw quickly, withdraw quickly......"

Feng Ji was helpless, so he 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 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.

Zhang He led an army of 12,000 cavalry to roar and kill with the momentum of the river bursting the embankment.

Xu Xuan and Gan Ning stood side by side behind the car formation, looking at the smoke that covered the sky, and at the cavalry army of Northern Xinjiang surging like a tide, their faces changed greatly.

The 20,000 soldiers behind the car formation were colorless and frightened.

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet......" Zhang He raised his sword high, roaring like thunder, "Kill, kill......"

At the sound of the horn, a column of cavalry soldiers in the northern frontier did not hesitate at all, and rushed forward frantically against 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 cavalry at high speed, 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 defending soldiers in the chariot formation was equivalent to giving up the passage.

As soon as Gan Ning saw the collapse of the battle array, he didn't say a word, pulled Xu Xuan and left, shouting in his mouth: "Withdraw, withdraw ......"

"Haha......" Zhang He couldn't help laughing when he saw the cavalry army bravely and unimpededly killing the car formation. The Second Cavalry Corps led by him was the elite of the cavalry in Northern Xinjiang, and its fierce attack momentum made the enemy flee in fear.

Liu Biao never expected that the 20,000 troops 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 cavalry of the northern frontier sweeping behind them, and scattered in a hurry, fleeing as far as they could.

………………

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 vanguard army of the coalition army arrived at Pingyang Pavilion, it immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the Northern Xinjiang Army. The Northern Xinjiang cavalry blocked the Pingyang Pavilion and frequently threatened the battle array, and the news on the battlefield could not be sent, nor could they 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.

"Northern Xinjiang cavalry ......" Liu Shao's frightened scream went straight to Kuai Yue's ears, "We were fooled, fooled, the Northern Cavalry did not leave, they are all here, all here." ”

"Drumming...... Beat the drum ......" Kuai Yue turned his head suddenly, his eyes wide and shouted at the herald behind him, "Order all departments, fight to the death, fight to the death." ”

"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.

Cao Cao's army and Liu Biao's army, which were leading their troops to attack Pingyang Pavilion, quickly withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to the chariot formation as fast as they could.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Yan each led a large army to advance rapidly from the east and north of Pingyang Pavilion, directly killing the coalition army vehicle formation, intending to tear apart the enemy's defense line.

The two sides fought fiercely again, and the fighting became more and more fierce.

At this moment, an army of foot soldiers was the first to rush out of the horizon and rush all the way to the battlefield.

"It was like a deserter, a deserter from us." Xiahou Yuan, who had just arrived in the middle of the battle, pointed in front of him and said with an extremely frightened expression, "The army in the middle lane is probably wiped out. ”

Kuai Yue, Liu Shao, Yan Liang, Zhu Ling and others were cold, and their eyes showed despair.

If Yuan Shao's mid-lane army was completely annihilated, then the 150,000 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." Liu Shao said in a trembling voice, "The army on the middle road has an army of 100,000, even if the northern cavalry surrounds them, they can 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. ”

"That's a deserter." Zhu Ling's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he lamented in a low voice, "We are surrounded. ”

Before Zhu Ling's words fell, the horse suddenly raised its front hooves and neighed, and then the other people's mounts also began to be restless and neigh.

The ground began to tremble, the long sound of trumpets came from the distant sky with the wind, and the roar of thousands of galloping horses 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 shouted in horror, "Oh my God, so many cavalry, where did this come from?" Why don't we know anything? ”

The cavalry of the Northern Frontier rushed out of the smoke and dust that obscured the sky, and they were like a huge and terrifying Netherworld army that suddenly tore 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 cavalry army in Northern Xinjiang, and one by one they were colorless, riding their horses back, trembling involuntarily, and the breath of death suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield.

"What to do? What are we going to do? Liu Shao shouted at the top of his voice, "What should we do?" ”

"Hold on, hold on to the battle formation." Yan Liang raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone go back to their own formations and swear to defend to the death." ”

"We don't have enough food and grass to carry on to it, how can we hold on? Until when? Xiahou Yuan waved the whip 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 the siege, and rush out one by one." ”

"Breaking out now is purely self-defeating." Yan Liang turned around and glared at Xiahou Yuan, "Break through after dark, wait until it's dark to break through." ”

"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 Xinjiang 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, whipped it down fiercely, and shouted in a winning spree: "Go, go, go quickly......" (To be continued.) )
