"Boom, boom, boom———"
The sound of horses coming from far and near became clearer and clearer, and the sound of roaring vibrations filled the ears and buzzed.
At the same time as the cavalry in the col retreated to the mountain forest and gave way to the mountain road, tens of thousands of war horses leaped into view. Immediately afterwards, more and more horses rushed into the mountain road, raised their hooves and galloped, rampaged, stuffed the originally narrow mountain road, and forced to level the mounds on both sides of the mountain road, all the way to the east.
The cavalry soldiers who stopped on the hillside watched no less than 100,000 war horses gallop in front of them. The huge roar that shook the sky, the dust of thousands of galloping horses, and the indomitable madness; Seeing that the soldiers were stunned, their hearts throbbed, and their hearts were pounding in their throats, and they were afraid.
Fortunately, the commander of the army ordered everyone to go up the mountain in time and get out of the way, otherwise, I am afraid that these more than 100,000 war horses would be able to shock the 30,000 iron horsemen in an instant, crush them into powder, and disappear in an instant.
If that's the case, it's the realistic version of the teacher who dies before he gets started, it's really unjust, and he can't turn a blind eye!
Looking down at the galloping horses under the mountain, his ears were filled with rumbling and screams from the other side of the mountain, a general who was also wearing black armor stood beside the "general" and said in a low voice: "Brother Wenyuan, it seems that I am waiting to come slowly, after all, it is still a step too late, the decisive battle of Wolf Mountain has been divided, the barbarian army has been defeated, and the Chinese army led by the lord has won a complete victory!" ”
In addition to being disappointed, he added: "Maybe the Feiyan light cavalry led by General Zhang Yan has already led his troops to participate in the battle before my Wuwei battalion, and only we are still stranded here." Seeing so many war horses escape, they were helpless. It's a pity that nearly 100,000 war horses ran away in vain! If you can capture all these horses. Even if I wait a step too late and can't get a piece of the pie on the battlefield, at least I can atone for my guilt and give an account to the lord??????" After speaking, he looked embarrassed and sighed, looking very worried.
After hearing this, the young general nodded thoughtfully, and played with the half-inch-long green beard under his chin. Shen said: "Brother Dong Yue is reasonable. Judging from the shì in front of the eyes, nearly 100,000 war horses fled the battlefield, and all of them were barbarian grassland war horses. From this, it can be inferred that the barbarian army is already at a disadvantage. But?????? It doesn't have to be defeated. ”
The general called "Dong Yue" was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "What does Brother Wen Yuan mean by this? Now that the barbarian war horses have escaped from the battlefield without the soldiers, is the barbarian army still defeated? How is this possible? Barbarians who lost their horses. What combat effectiveness is there? He looked at "Wenyuan" with a puzzled face. Dong Yue subconsciously scratched his head, but did not touch his hair, but landed on the hard and smooth hood.
It goes without saying that this cavalry team that suddenly encountered a herd of barbarian horses was the Wuwei Battalion Iron Cavalry, which had not appeared since the Eastern Expedition. Its main general is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, and the deputy general and deputy commander are Dong Yue, and the army behind the two of them is a full 30,000 Wuwei battalion iron cavalry.
Since Li Libing subdued Gongsun Zan bloodlessly, it has been half a year. The Wuwei battalion led by Zhang Liao and the Feiyan light cavalry under Zhang Yan's tent have never had a road surface, as if the dragon has no head but no end. The whereabouts are extremely secretive. In the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army, except for the commander Li Li and the right army division Guo Jia, no one knew their whereabouts. Even the military advisor Zhuge Liang and Mi Zhu, the chief of the army, only knew that Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan had led 60,000 iron cavalry to the Xianbei grassland, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Xianbei tribe, trying to break each one, and fundamentally disintegrate the Xianbei tribe's attack and threat to the northern Han Dynasty.
However, this is not the case. After Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan led their troops into Yuyang County, Youzhou, they temporarily held their troops until they learned that the commander Li Li had taken over Youzhou and incorporated the Youzhou army. The two of them received Li Li's order, and the soldiers split into two routes. Zhang Yan's Feiyan light cavalry marched from west to north, waiting for an opportunity to exterminate the Xianbei tribes and weaken the strength of the Xianbei tribe; The Wuwei Battalion Iron Cavalry of Zhang Liao's Department hid their whereabouts, ambushed day and night, waited for an opportunity to sneak into Liaodong, ambushed in the mountains and forests on the east side of the White Wolf Mountain, closely observed the movement of troops and horses of the Wuhuan Division, and waited for the order to attack.
Therefore, for several months, the Han army that was really responsible for exterminating the various tribes of Xianbei was not Zhang Liao's department, but the Feiyan light cavalry led by Zhang Yan. And Zhang Liao led the Wuwei Battalion Iron Cavalry to cruise around Liucheng, that is, he had been monitoring the base camp of the Wuhuan barbarian army, waiting for an opportunity to move, trying to give the barbarian army a fatal blow at a critical moment.
After dormant for several months, he finally received Li Li's order to attack at noon today, and at the beginning of the unitary hour, the iron cavalry of the Wuwei battalion suddenly attacked from behind the barbarian army and stabbed a knife in the rear of the barbarian army. Originally, the whole raid plan was very smooth, and the soldiers of Zhang Liao's department lurked for several months without being discovered by the barbarian army. I didn't admit it, seeing that victory was in sight, but this scene suddenly happened in front of me, the victory and defeat of the Donglu battlefield were not divided, but the war horse of the barbarian army appeared in front of Zhang Liao's army, and it was only the war horse that saw the barbarian army. The shape was very weird, causing Zhang Liao and Dong Yue and the 30,000 iron horsemen behind them to be stunned and extremely lost.
Has the hard work that has been dormant for months gone down the drain?
This result made Zhang Liao and others really difficult to accept, melancholy and loss filled their hearts, and the pain in their hearts was indescribable.
Looking back on the arduous journey of the past few months, Zhang Liao still has lingering palpitations. The days of hiding your head and tail are too hard, you can't eat well and sleep restlessly, sometimes you can't eat a hot meal for ten days and half a month, and it becomes more difficult when it is windy and rainy. But he and his subordinates gritted their teeth, survived, and finally waited for the order of the lord Li Li to attack.
Two hours ago, Zhang Liao set off with great excitement, galloping all the way, and marching to the White Wolf Mountain in high spirits, so that he could rush to the battlefield before the unitary time. As long as you pass through the pass in front of you, it is the battlefield at the eastern foothills, and at the critical moment when you get what you want, Zhang Liao never expected that the war horses of the barbarian army would run away like crazy, and rush into the mountain road. If Zhang Liao hadn't seen the bad opportunity just now and ordered the army to avoid it in time, the 30,000 Wuwei Battalion Iron Cavalry would have been destroyed under the hooves of these frantically fleeing horses.
At that moment, Zhang Liao's mind was blank, and an indescribable sense of frustration and loss filled his heart. All the hard work was in vain, and the carefully planned raid plan was stillborn. This kind of heart-to-heart feeling is not something that people in the bureau categorically can't understand, let alone the sadness and pain of suffering.
However, with Dong Yue's sighs and inquiries, Zhang Liao quickly came out of his loss and regret, his heart was instantly clear, and after calming down, he gradually calmed down. His mind turned sharply, and he listened to the sound of the horn from the other side of the mountain again, and his heart suddenly shook violently, and his face showed surprise.
"General Dong Yue, don't worry. Listen carefully, is there a trumpet on the other side of the mountain? Trying his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, Zhang Liao was worried that he had heard it wrong, so he asked Dong Yue for confirmation to confirm whether the sound of the horn on the battlefield at the eastern foot of the mountain was really true.
"yes, yes. There was indeed a trumpet on the other side of the mountain, as if it were a bull's horn. But?????? It's not like it, what a strange sound! Dong Yue listened attentively to the sound in the air, and said casually.
Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, so many panicked war horses are fleeing wildly, but there is no barbarian army on horseback, which is too weird and completely unreasonable." Now I finally understand that although the barbarian army's mount and war horse abandoned the lord and fled, the barbarian army was not defeated, and was still fighting fiercely with the Chinese army led by the lord. Hahaha??????"
Dong Yue was shocked when he heard this: "Why did Wen Yuan say this? The war horses are gone, and the barbarians are still fighting, this ?????? It's too unbelievable! After a pause, Dong Yue's words changed sharply, and then said: "In other words, if the barbarian army is not defeated, then what is the matter with these war horses under the mountain?" Are the barbarians willing to abandon their horses and fight on foot with our army? They're all fools! ”
Hearing Dong Yue's questioning, Zhang Liao became more and more convinced of his inference, and explained with a smile: "Brother Dong Yue doesn't know. The trumpet we heard was not a bull's horn, but a ??? Poison Dragon! ”
"The Poison Dragon?" Dong Yue responded casually, his expression changed suddenly, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "What? Poison Dragon! As soon as the poisonous dragon horn sounded, the blood flowed like a river, there were no people and animals left, and the land was red for hundreds of miles! What is the lord?????? The lord actually used the poisonous dragon! As he spoke, Dong Yue's expression was sluggish, and his face was full of horror.
Zhang Liao said very firmly: "I firmly believe that I heard it correctly, this horn sound is the special sound made by the Poison Dragon. In the past battle of the Green Wolf Valley, I witnessed the great power of the Poison Dragon, and led the army to annihilate more than 100,000 troops in one fell swoop. That battle was the battle of General Zhou Yu's fame, and I was the vanguard general, so I have never forgotten the sound of the Poison Dragon, as if it was in my ears, and I still remember it clearly. ”
Recalling the battle of the Green Wolf Valley four years ago, Zhang Liao's eyes were full of yearning, and his words couldn't help but stop abruptly. The battle of the Green Wolf Valley was the famous battle of the Anbei general Zhou Yu, and then the battle to pacify Saibei and recover the state was the icing on the cake, which established Zhou Yu's position as a general in the army in one fell swoop. (Note: The four generals of the Xiliang Army are: Zhou Yu, Teng Xiao, Xu Rong and Bo Cai; In addition, there are two famous generals in the world: Li Dao and Guo Yan. )
Zhang Liao was envious of Zhou Yu's rapid rise, or that all the Xiliang generals with great ambitions and extraordinary abilities were very envious of Zhou Yu, hoping that one day they would be like him, succeed in a battle, and become one of the generals.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Liao didn't hesitate anymore and watched the horses under the mountain gradually thin out. He immediately instructed the commander of his own soldiers to bring two hundred soldiers to follow behind the horses, keep an eye on the whereabouts of the horses, and capture the horses after the battle. After the soldiers rode their horses away, Zhang Liao rode his horse down the mountain and led the Wuwei battalion iron cavalry to go straight to the pass.
