Chapter 18: The Lost Dog

The war continued, and Yuan Shu's Imperial Forest Army fought tenaciously beyond Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei's expectations. Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry charged with all their might, the short but resilient Huainan soldiers quickly formed a shield wall in the middle of the road.

When Zhang Xiu saw that this well-equipped Huainan soldier was well-trained and quickly formed a shield wall on the charging road, Zhang Xiu knew that his tactics of breaking through in the center were a bit too big.

Although the awl array uses Zhang Fei as the tip of the awl, although the Xiliang iron cavalry is all Xiliang soldiers with tall people and big horses, although the heavy armor worn by these Xiliang soldiers can also smash people half to death if they are thrown down, although the war horses are all Xiliang good horses, although they have charged for a long distance and have inertia.

But in front of this group of well-guarded elite Huainan soldiers, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed past them and also slowed down, and they no longer had a neat formation and horse steps.

Because these Huainan soldiers are so well equipped, they are actually equipped with iron shields! Iron shield, in this era when individual soldiers are mainly wooden shields and leather armor, iron shields are rare.

However, it seems that there are not many iron shields, only a few hundred, and the quality does not seem to be up to par. Otherwise, Zhang Xiu really had to doubt that these short and concise Huainan soldiers could block his Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Next, a shield array composed of temporary wooden shields was once again placed on the second front. This time, the Xiliang Iron Rider passed through quickly, without dragging mud and water at all.

This is mainly due to the awl array and Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei took the lead and crashed into a gap, and the second row followed Zhang Fei's two horsemen, Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, to open the gap. Then, the three Xiliang Iron Riders in the third row used the heavy spears in their hands to open the gap again......

By analogy, these six thousand Xiliang Iron Riders are arranged according to the degree of elite from front to back. The more elite the cavalry in the front row, the better the horses. This ensures the penetration of the awl head. Then the shape of the awl ensures that as long as it is opened through the gap, the whole awl can be passed through smoothly. And the notch will be because of the shape of the awl, the more it crosses!

Although it didn't go well, the six thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, only losing more than two hundred horsemen on the outside, went straight through Yuan Shu's Chinese army. On the way, Zhang Fei also stabbed the hand of Li Feng, the general of Yuan Shuzhong's army, and directly split the small number of Yuan Shujun in half, frightening Yuan Shu to flee to the north of his army.

After the Xiliang Iron Cavalry penetrated, the elite Xiliang veterans quickly cooperated with the Qianghu sword and axe soldiers and poured into the gap where Yuan Shuzhong's army was rushed away. encountered a short soldier with a sword in his hand, and the Xiliang soldier who was good at crawling and rolling in close combat; Encountering a shield array with long spears that were difficult to get close to, the Xiliang soldiers tried their best to cover the Qianghu sword and axe soldiers coming forward. Then the brutes cooperated with themselves, and the swordsmen swung their broadswords and cut directly the barrels of the wooden spears that protruded from the gaps in their shields; The axe hand then swung the big axe and directly split the shield, and then added the Xiliang soldiers to rush in.

Unstoppable!

As for the Yongzhou soldiers, the Xiaopei army and the Runan soldiers, they were responsible for the left and right armies of Yuan Shu. Perhaps it was the gap in the quality and equipment of individual soldiers, and in some cases, Zhang Xiujun was still pressed and beaten by Yuan Shu's Imperial Forest Army. Fortunately, Zhang Xiujun has a numerical advantage, and he still presses Yuan Jun to fight.

Outside the battlefield, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was adjusting the awl array. The advantage of the awl array is that it pays equal attention to attack and defense, and it is powerful and easy to break through. But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the lack of flexibility, it is difficult to make a U-turn. Basically, in a battle, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can only use the awl array once.

It's just that this time the opponent is the elite Huainan soldiers, relying on the advantages of their bodies and equipment, they are tenacious! It's so good to carry. Look at the time and turn around, continue to rush again.

But Zhang Fei couldn't wait, and slowly reversed the formation to when. simply rode alone in the direction of Yuan Shu's escape and chased after him. Zhou Cang almost wanted to follow, but Liao Hua stopped him.

Liao Hua couldn't resist Zhou Cang, and the two simply divided the six thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry into two. Each of them brought one each, and they both formed an awl array. Liao Hua went to attack the rear of the 10,000 troops south of Yuan Shu's army, and Zhou Cang followed Zhang Fei to attack Yuan Shu's northern army.

……

From the moment the Chinese army was rushed away, Yuan Shu knew that his plan to attack Zhang Xiu had failed. But he still has hope, Qiao Rui and Chen Ji came to report that they have joined the armies of Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Yang Feng, and Han Xian from the north and south respectively, and are rushing to the battlefield!

As long as he can attack Zhang Xiujun, who is no longer able to fight, on three sides, he can turn defeat into victory!

……

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry finally lined up the wedge formation again, and once again rushed towards Yuan Shu's northern and southern armies with neat steps!

The morale of the bloody battle in the battle group was also completely ignited, because not only did they hear the neat footsteps of Xiliang Tie riding again, but Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei also joined the battlefield!

is as tenacious as the Huainan Army, and it is a little unbearable at the moment. Yuan Shu is also disgraced at the moment, for the same reason, he was chased by Zhang Fei in a hurry, and the eye-catching golden armor had already been taken off and thrown away.

At the last moment, a burst of dust suddenly rose from both the north and south sides of the battlefield. Two teams of people, each with a big banner of Yuan, approached the battlefield!

Yuan Shu, who was running around under the cover of Le, suddenly laughed: "Defeat is victory!" You've finally arrived! ”

Le is also embarrassed. Li Feng, who was stabbed in the hand next to him, calmed down, looked to the north, and turned back to Yuan Shu with a happy face and said, "Your Majesty, our opportunity has arrived!" I think the banner is the men and horses of Qiao Rui and General Chen Lan, at least 50,000 people! General Le, you quickly send a message to the whole army to boost morale! ”

At this time, Liang Gang in the south was also overjoyed, what he saw was Yuan Jun under the banner of Chen Ji and Lei Bo, and there were also no less than 50,000 horses!

"Brothers! Our reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived! General Qiao Rui (Chen Ji) and Lei Bo (General Chen Lan) have been killed! Brothers, follow me to kill all these lost dogs in Yongliang and Runan! ”

Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu, who were in the center of the battle group, looked at each other and smiled, and Zhang Xiu immediately waved his hand and said, "Open the gift I gave to Yuan Shu!" ”

Outside the battlefield, Zhang Xiujun was on the platform, and a thing draped in black cloth was revealed. It was so big that even Yuan Shu, who was far away on the battlefield, could see what it was! At the same time, Zhang Xiujun's 20,000 old and weak rear troops without armor shouted together: "General Guangwu gives the puppet emperor Yuan Shu a big gift!"

When Yuan Shu saw what that thing was, he immediately became angry and scolded: "Zhang Xiu, you actually sent a bell to the Zhong family!" If you are caught, the Zhong family will break you into pieces! ”

That's right, a big bell! When a few soldiers lifted a log and slammed it on the bell!

When~when~when~ The solemn and depressed, long and low voice hovers over the battlefield, which makes people's hearts ripple!

With the sound of three bells, tens of thousands of Yuan troops rushing from north to south suddenly threw all the big flags with the word "Yuan" written on them, and even the "Qiao" and "Chen" handsome flags of Qiao Rui Chen Ji also fell. Only the thunder-thin "thunder" banner was left in the south. In the north, only Chen Lan's "Chen" banner remains.

Yuan Shu, Li Feng, and Liang Gangle were shocked, and these two armies that should have rushed towards Zhang Xiu's army actually rushed towards their own army.

Liang Gang in the south was even more stunned, thinking that he saw Lei Bo leading the army to rush towards him, and threw a human head at him halfway! Liang Gang looked at it, but it was the head of Admiral Chen Ji!

Lei Bobian rushed and shouted: "Yuan Shuhao is extravagant and lustful!" Don't sympathize with the military and civilians! I, Lei Bo, have decided to respond to General Zhang Xiu of Guangwu with General Chen Lan! Liang Gang, you quickly dismount and wait to be captured, and I will protect you in front of General Guangwu! ”

Liang Gang almost fainted: "Lei Bo, Your Majesty is as heavy as a mountain to you and Chen Lanen, why do you two want to rebel?" ”

Lei Bo snorted coldly: "How Yuan Shu treats the two of us first, but my 20,000 brothers often go into battle hungry and shirtless, how can you, the leader of the Royal Forest Army, understand it?" What's more, he Yuan Shu rebelled against the Mandate of Heaven, and the anti-Han family came first, and the two of us were loyal to the Han family, this is not a rebellion! It's in response to the king! ”

……

The situation in the north is similar to that in the south, but Chen Lan's ability is limited, and he failed to kill Qiao Rui from behind, so Qiao Rui escaped. However, the words that exposed Yuan Shuhao's extravagance and lust and disregard for the army and the people deeply penetrated Yuan Jun's heart and successfully controlled a considerable part of Qiao Rui's army.

The little morale that Yuan Shu had just raised fell below the horizon in an instant. Without waiting for the two armies of Lei Bo and Chen Lan to rush to the front, they were in chaos! There are those who throw away their armor and flee, and there are also those who kneel on the ground and ask to surrender.

Liang Gang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led his cronies to slip away. bumped into Liao Hua's block, and the two only fought for one round, but Liao Hua did not stop Liang Gang, who was desperately fleeing for his life.

Li Feng and Le protected the angry speechless Yuan Shu and fled, and Zhang Fei chased after him. Le gritted his teeth and was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with a spear, but unfortunately Zhang Fei's war horse was weak, and he couldn't catch up with Yuan Shu in the end.

The third battle of Qiyang ended in such a hurry, and at this point, the entire battle of Qiyang may end here.

……

Yuan Shu and Li Feng escaped and met with Liang Gang. Of the 30,000 Imperial Forest Army, there are now only 300 cavalry left. Even Yuan Lian, who was with the army, didn't know where to throw it.

These 300 horsemen rushed along the main road to Qiyang, but within a few miles, an army greeted them. Under the banner of Yang Feng and Han Xian, the commanders of Yuan Shu's Sixth and Seventh Route armies.

Yang Feng and Han Xian stepped out and shouted to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, we learned on the way that Lei Bo Chen Lan was reversed, so we hurriedly took the path here to meet Your Majesty!" ”

It's a pity that Yuan Shu, who was in charge once, is a little suspicious at the moment, even the regular army Lei Bo Chen Lan is reversed, Yang Feng and Han Xian can only be regarded as a miscellaneous army!

Seeing Yuan Shu hesitating, Yang Feng and Han Xian glanced at each other, and suddenly drew their swords together and shouted: "Brothers, rush, slaughter Yuan Shu's Gou Ride!" ”

Eggs! Even the famous scolding in Guanzhong came out! Yuan Shu was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Yuan Shu's three hundred cavalry were like frightened birds, and they instantly got off the avenue and ran away in the wilderness.

It's a pity that Yang Feng and Han Xian were abused by Yuan Shu so badly that the war horses couldn't even eat enough forage, and they couldn't catch up with the famous horses that Yuan Shu was riding. After chasing and killing for a while, the troops were hastily withdrawn!

Han Xian also scolded Yang Feng: "It's so easy to let you be smart, it's so simple to set up an ambush on the side of the road, you have to let Yuan Shu's bastard throw himself into the net!" ”

Yang Feng also replied to Han Xian: "We can't even wear warm clothes, let the soldiers squat in the field, who wants." ”

……

At this time, there were only more than thirty horsemen left around Yuan Shu, and they ran wildly until they reached the foot of Qiyang City, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that I don't know why the gate of Qiyang has been closed, Liang Gang rode a horse to the city and shouted: "Where are the guards, Your Majesty is back, quickly open the door to welcome you!" ”

A head poked out from the top of the city wall, and it was a guard that Liang Gang was familiar with. The man replied: "It turned out to be General Liang Gang, and the last general will immediately go out of the city to greet him!" ”

Immediately, the city gate was opened, and Liang Gang wanted to beckon Yuan Shu from behind to enter the city. It's just that at this time, there was a sudden change, and the person who spoke suddenly jumped from behind the city wall to the battlement, and shouted urgently: "Your Majesty and General Liang Gang don't want to enter the city!" Qiyang has ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a feathered arrow shoot through the throat of the guard! The guard fell straight down from the battlement.

Before this person landed, an unfamiliar face poked out from the city tower! That face was very annoyed, but it was very decisive, and immediately shot an arrow at Liang Gang!

At the same time, an order shouted from the man's mouth: "Shoot! ”

The faces of the Qianghu people were instantly revealed on the city wall, the bowstring had already been tightened, and the sharp arrows had already been wound!

Liang Gang used his left hand to block an arrow from the Han man on the city wall, but the next moment, he was pierced by ten thousand arrows.

Yuan Shu and Li Feng were on the edge of the range of ordinary bows and arrows in the city tower at this time, and when they saw that there was a change, Li Feng did not react for a while.

It's just that I don't know who those barbarians on the city tower are, I don't know what kind of strong bow they use, and they are good at what kind of death. Li Feng couldn't block a few arrows with his left hand, so he had to use his body to block Yuan Shu's arrows. Despite this, Yuan Shu was still hit by an arrow!

More than 30 riders, and when they escaped, there were only three people left. Thousands of light horsemen and archers rushed out of the city of Qiyang, and they chased for nearly a hundred miles before stopping.

Li Feng was hit by several arrows, but fortunately he was protected by armor, so there was no big problem for the time being. In addition, except for Yuan Shu, there is only one cavalry left.

Yuan Shu's seven-way army, there are only three of them left. Because he was chased and killed by the cavalry of Qiyang City to the southwest, and Shouchun was in the east of Qiyang, in order to avoid being copied by the other party again, Li Feng decided to abandon Shouchun and go to Lujiang County in the south and defect to Liu Xun.

Yuan Shu had already vomited blood and couldn't speak, but Li Feng told him about his plan to go to Lujiang, and Yuan Shu also nodded. 230,000 horses were buried overnight, and Shouchun only had 30,000 old and weak, once trapped and surrounded, he would definitely die.

It's just that in the morning, he laughed at Zhang Xiu's lost dog, but now he has become a ......

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu spat out another mouthful of blood.
