Chapter Ninety-Nine: Liu Jingsheng Turns North
Behind the battle, there was also a cavalry composed of the sons of the Jingzhou warriors, about 500 horsemen, originally they came to mix military merits, after all, this battle will be won no matter how it is fought, but they did not expect Liu Jingsheng's operation, they were in a precarious situation.
This is an extraordinary knight, equipped with a feather forest knight who imitates the Han Dynasty, the knight hangs two four-foot high negative feathers on his back, and the negative feathers woven by white goose feathers are gathered together, which is gorgeous and eye-catching.
And use these knights to stop those yellow turban bull knights at this time? Regardless of their ability, this is equivalent to exchanging the lives of the county officials, captains, and generals in Jingzhou in the future with these rude old people.
Liu Biao didn't care about anything else at this time, he personally supervised the battle, if he was chased and killed by these bull knights, he would die at that time, and he would block the pontoon bridge if he died, and order the guards to supervise the battle, and those who dared to retreat would be beheaded!
Those knights who originally planned to mix military merits, now they have no choice, they can only line up to meet the enemy, they hate Liu Biao deeply in their hearts, and when they go back alive, Liu Biao has already negotiated the Jingzhou policy, I am afraid that it will make waves again!
The Yellow Turban Knight, who originally thought that there would be heavy casualties, but did not want the buffalo to ride slowly, after crossing the river, did not attack Liu Biao, but continued to march along the river bank, avoiding the sharp soldiers and cavalry who were waiting for Liu Biao.
And at this time, Sun Jian was entangled, he led people to retreat and kill, at this time to the pontoon bridge, the thousands of people who were originally in command, after being separated, at this time also led more than 500 people to cross the river, looking at these bull riders actually detoured, Sun Jian could see clearly, these bull riders did not escape, but went around to the flank of Liu Biao's army, first attacked the easy to hit the flank, these bull riders, buffalo carried a heavy load, under the heavy armor, the ordinary Han army could not resist at all, far away, Sun Jian, who was entangled in the yellow scarf, At this moment, I can only watch these yellow turban cows ride towards the flanks.
The flanks were dispersed and trampled, there were many casualties, and they were easily killed and dispersed by the Yellow Turban Sun Fen, at this time, someone in Liu Biaozhong's military formation shouted, "Follow me to rescue the flanks!" ”
At this time, it was not a rescue, it was clearly an escape, and the Han army, which was not well trained, could only fight a good battle, so it was defeated so quickly, at this time, except for several armies that were monitored by Liu Biaodu's team, the rest were scattered in a hurry.
Sun Fen rode a buffalo and trotted all the way, and only glanced at Liu Biao's department half a mile away, he raised the big gun in his hand at this time, and the trumpeter behind him blew a rapid horn, and more than 100 horsemen accelerated together, this time it was aimed at the Han army.
It was already about five miles away from galloping, and the buffalo were not good at running, so now they had little chance to charge.
Maybe even after this round of charge, the animal power is exhausted, and it is okay to chase and kill the expulsion infantry, but it cannot be hedged with other cavalry, although the buffalo is easy to use, but the disadvantages are also obvious, not as good as the horse, it is normal to gallop dozens of miles at a time.
When Sun Fen's hundreds of horsemen appeared in Liu Biao's line of sight again, they had already slammed into the defense line carefully laid out by Liu Biao.
At this time, due to the chaos of the Chinese army, the shooting order of the Han army was scattered, which greatly reduced the pressure on Sun Fen.
Because of the insufficient preparation, the props for the defense were not complete at all, and at this time, there were only two antlers and fences arranged in front of the Chinese military camp, which were quickly broken by Sun Fen riding a buffalo, and they had already broken into the camp and were struggling to assassinate.
At this moment, Sun Fen had three crooked arrows pierced in his chest, and as he moved on the back of the ox, these three arrows were also thrown to the ground after a while, and they were already blocked by the strong armor, and at most they only caused some superficial scars.
Sun Jian originally fought and retreated, and was already close to the Chinese army camp, but at this time, the Chinese army mutinied, and many of his subordinates were suddenly coerced, and after some chaos, there were only about a hundred or so personal soldiers left around him. Looking left and right, the Yellow Turban Ox rode like a tiger into the flock, and the Han army blocking the road collapsed.
"Yellow Turban Sun Fen is here, who will fight!"
The lightly armored Han army, Sun Fen didn't know how many people he had killed at this time, and after killing another Han warrior, he shouted to the left and right at this time.
When he shouted, it was so rampant, naturally some people couldn't see it, the commander of those Haoqiang clan was Kuai Yue At this time, he led the cavalry of his department to rush into the battle formation, and went straight to Sun Fen: "The thief is rampant, and Xiangyang Kuai is more and more!" ”
When Sun Fen saw the people, he asked, "You are delicate and weak, why don't you enter the palace as a permanent attendant?" ”
Kuai Yue has no beard and a slender figure, Sun Fen has this saying, but it is not light on Kuai Yue's anger.
"Hugh the benefits of the tongue!"
He carried a horse lance to fight, and the hundreds of horsemen who followed behind him saw that there were only a dozen people behind Sun Fen at this time, and they also hula and flocked to fight.
Sun Fen doubted that this person had some ability, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he stayed three percent when he rushed, and suddenly broke out when he was five steps away, and stabbed out with a gun in both arms.
Kuai Yue was also holding a lance with both arms at this time, twisting his waist and slashing horizontally, the lance slashed at the side of Sun Fen's big gun, slightly opening the blade of the gun, Kuai Yue was about to change his move, so that the lance blade was close to the gun and cut Sun Fen's hands.
As soon as the horse lance comes out, the world loves it, this is the weapon used by the nobles, Kuai Yue will naturally brush up on two tricks, I feel very handy, self-raising is not ten thousand enemies, at least it is also a hundred enemies, and Sun Fen is not in his eyes.
It's just that at this time, he only felt a light in his hand, and his horse lance seemed to swing away Sun Fen's gun blade when it collided, but he didn't expect this to be a false move, Sun Fen's gun blade just swung and turned, and it didn't enter Kuai Yue's heart in an instant.
Kuai Yue's eyes looked at Sun Fen with deep eyes, and Sun Fen couldn't understand the anger of the unpaid ambition, except for a few of Kuai Yue's personal soldiers who sacrificed their lives to fight at this time, the other Han knights saw this scene, and fled violently at this time, and joined up with other Han soldiers who had fallen behind, and no longer turned back to Liu Biao's Chinese army formation, and fled straight to the north.
"Gong Liu, the last general will be guilty!"
At this time, Sun Jian had just arrived at the main formation, but he was asking for guilt, he was appointed to command the rear battalion, for the rear of the army, but at this time he arrived here, naturally he was guilty, however, the words of the broken aftermath, in fact, it was sent to death, he was unwilling to die, and evacuated on his own initiative, in fact, there are still many Han troops on the other side of the river are fighting.
Liu Biao is also embarrassed at this time, this is a rare talent, in the past, it must be used, but he did not listen to the order, and he was a little unruly, he originally wanted to grind his temperament and then use it, but at this time, there was a mountain cry from the front camp position that made Liu Biao angry, Zhang Yun strode forward at this time and said urgently: "Liu Gong, General Kuai Yue...... Killed in battle. ”
……
Sun Fen was about to continue to fight hard, at this time he could hear the sound of gold, but he could only retreat, obviously there was a big event on the other side, so he let go of the Han army for the time being, after this battle, he felt that the fear of the Han army had been completely erased, and the combat power had been greatly improved.
Slowly retreated to the opposite bank through the pontoon bridge, at this time the Han army did not dare to pursue, let him lead people to withdraw, after Sun Fen retreated to the opposite bank, he ordered others to fight first to kill the Han army that was still resisting, he saw the commander: "Why Mingjin." ”
While speaking, Sun Zhi arrived, and he turned over and dismounted at this time and took off his face armor: "Third brother, rest for two quarters of an hour, this formation is lost, and we can only retreat." ”
Although this side played well, but on the side of the main formation, it was losing and retreating, Huangfu Song and others were too powerful, Sun Zhi tried his best, but he still couldn't resist.
The knights and foot soldiers who were chasing the enemy returned one after another, and the captured more than 1,000 Han soldiers were tied with their hands behind their backs at this time, and they crouched on the ground.
Sun Fen saw that the surrounding sergeants were collecting the wounded, replenishing the enemy's knives, or looting the trophies, and saw the pontoon bridge, where there were more and more Han soldiers and horses.
Sun Zhi was also looking at the pontoon bridge at this time, and the two tacitly turned their heads to look at each other, both smiled, and said the key: "This pontoon bridge is extremely useful to our army." ”
This river is actually not deep, and it is extremely easy to build a pontoon bridge, that is, it is dismantled and burned, and the Han army will not be able to build it again in a few hours, besides, if you want to retreat, this pontoon bridge is not much use.
Sun Fen nodded, it is said that the pontoon bridge is not decisive in peacetime, but now the army is gathered, and the battle and retreat, where to retreat is an important decision, this pontoon bridge is built by the Han army, if the pontoon bridge is crossed, and then destroyed, Huangfu Song chases, if you want to continue the pursuit, you have to at least a few hours.
At this time, Huangfu Song was attacking in front with a large army, and the Sun brothers assisted each other at this time to resist Huangfu Song's strong invasion, and fought and retreated, and the yellow turban did not have much loss, and the large battalion under the cloth was actually made of local materials, and there was not much left for the Han army.
Standing on the top of the mountain at this time, looking at the defeated Han army in the northwest, Huangfu Song was indignant at this time, if Liu Biao even sent 10,000 people to help the battle, why would today's battle be like this?
Sun Jian was not punished, and he couldn't say anything about it, plus at this time, Liu Biao had the heart to stand up, and there were not many people who listened to him, and Sun Jian followed Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song to fight in Jingzhou for a year, in fact, he also had some prestige.
Liu Biao couldn't kill him for a while, although he was bored when he saw it, but he was helpless, at this time Sun Jian was observing the enemy's situation, and saw that the yellow turbans on the other side were assembled and were crossing the pontoon bridge......
Is the yellow scarf going to be returned?
Sun Jian hurriedly said at this time: "Liu Gong, I'm afraid that the Yellow Turban is going to retreat here!" The Yellow Turban is strong, our army is defeated, and I ask Liu Gong to avoid the edge for the time being, and then try a good strategy! ”
Zhang Yun also said at this time: "Liu Gong, the yellow scarf is like a grasshopper after autumn, why don't Liu Gong avoid it for a while, why fight for victory or defeat for a while?" ”
At this time, seeing that the Yellow Turban had already stepped on this shore, it was clear, Sun Jian looked back in his eyes, and said: "The last general will lead people to stand in formation to block the Yellow Turban sergeant, and also ask the military advisor to escort Liu Gong and evacuate quickly." ”
Originally, the Yellow Turban temporarily retreated, and the front camp of the Han army was set up again, but it was only a long time, and the battle flag had been cut down again, and these Han troops were also skilled.
As if the sand wall washed by the waves, it could not stop the rapid invasion of the Yellow Turban, the Yellow Turban's foot soldiers became more and more courageous, Sun Jian held a spear at this time and scolded, there were about 1,000 people in his hands The ironclad army gathered, and it was holding on in formation, too many Han troops reflexively fled, impacting the already shaky array, and the establishment of Liu's cousin's guards who supervised the battle after the battle was also more than 1,000 people, and it was also within the scope of the rout and interference at this moment.
Seeing that the collapse of the various departments was imminent, Zhang Yun hurriedly advised at this time: "Liu Gong! If General Sun is defeated, the enemy army will be surrounded! Now General Sun is trapped in a desperate situation, and he is just trying to delay! ”
Liu Biao hesitated, more and more yellow turbans crossed the river at this time, in less than a quarter of an hour, Sun Jian was forced to retreat step by step, some yellow turban wrestlers threw javelins, Sun Jiandu led the troops to resist this kind of attack at all, the casualties increased sharply, and the blood flowed down the river bank into the river, and the river was dyed black and red at this time.
"I'm not reconciled!"
Liu Biao's right hand tightly grasped the guardrail of the car, his bones were white, he looked around the battlefield, everywhere was like a swept wave, all the waves were towards him.
He is no longer eager to boast of a big victory, he only wants an undefeated and undefeated situation, it is so difficult, he regrets that he should not leave Huang Zhong and the others behind, otherwise he would not have collapsed so quickly!
There is also Huangfu Song, who is also insidious, if it weren't for his defeat in Xiangyang City, now he is enough to defend himself in Nanyang, waiting for everything to be finished, and go south again, why is he so embarrassed and dangerous!
Sun Zhi had already crossed the bridge at this time, looking at the embarrassment of the Han army's retreat, at this time he said with joy: "Brothers, our army has swept away!" If this Liu Jingsheng doesn't leave, I'm afraid he will be captured by us, and he shouldn't be careless at this moment, and the whole army will point directly at the Han army's main position and capture Liu Jingsheng alive. ”
The brothers of the Sun family responded loudly at this time, and the battle flag under their command received the order, and they were already ordering the flags to order all armies to point directly at the Han army's main position, and some sergeants began to shout: "Capture Liu Jingsheng alive." ”
Who Liu Jingsheng is, most of the yellow turbans don't know, but looking at the form, they understand that this is a victory, and they immediately shouted in unison, and all the departments organized to rush and kill in the direction pointed by the flag order.
Sun Fen was supervising the soldiers and Sun Jian at this time, with the arrival of the army, he supervised the troops a lot more than before, but without the heavy cavalry composed of ox horses, although there were more troops, but the assault was not smooth,
Liu Biao was also resolute at this time, he didn't listen to Zhang Yun, he didn't move at this time, his personal guards also stepped forward to help Sun Jian, and the front camp was also struggling to support at this time, and the whole army participated in the battle one after another, but it barely withstood the onslaught of the Yellow Turban.
At this time, the battle flag of the Yellow Turban slowly moved towards the main formation of the Han army under the gaze of both the enemy and us.
There were only more than 1,000 Ruishi left under the car and 500 cavalry around Liu Biao, and Zhang Yun shouted loudly at this time: "Liu Gong! It's urgent! ”
He grabbed the collar of the chariot and scolded: "Turn quickly and evacuate north!" ”
Zhang Yun shouted to Liu Biao left and right: "The Yellow Turban Army has no foundation, General Huangfu is in a hurry to chase on the other side, we escort Liu Gong to the north, and the Yellow Turban will definitely not be able to chase us!" ”
The horses neighed, and at this time, everyone around saw that Liu Biao did not open his mouth to object, or lead the horse, or push the cart, Liu Biao's chariot moved slowly, and Ruishi followed closely, which was the default transfer.
