Chapter 33 The Lord Will Be Broken
As the news spread, the battalion was soon in disarray, full of people, noisy and chaotic, surrounded by panicked soldiers.
The enemy arrived much faster than expected, Li Xun had just found his horse, mounted his horse and was about to go to join Liu Congxi, a few miles away at the forefront of the camp, there was already a shout of killing, and a moment later, there was a firelight.
"Brother Dog, Brother Dog!"
In the noise, Li Xun vaguely seemed to hear someone calling for him, turned his head to look around, looked for a long time, and finally saw the distance, Zhu Zhengguo looked around, from time to time to pull people passing by, to see the face clearly, and on the side, Yan Yi was hoarse, shouting Li Xun's name loudly again and again.
"Brother Zhu, I'm here."
Li Xun shouted loudly and hurried over.
"Lao Zhu, Yan Yi, how did you find here?"
Li Xun turned over and dismounted, rushed up and grabbed Zhu Zhengguo's arm.
"I've finally found you kid."
Yan Yi laughed twice and stretched out his fist to hit Li Xun.
"Don't make a fuss!"
Li Xun glared at him, and then looked at Zhu Zhengguo.
"Zhan Tai Jingming and Liu Congxi have fled first under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, Yan Yi and I are worried about your safety, so we led people to look for you."
Yes!
"Zhan Tai Jingming and Liu Congxi actually abandoned the camp and fled?"
Li Xun shouted loudly, and then scolded: "Liu Congxi, a bastard with no birds, actually fled alone, even I didn't care about it, I still treat you as a brother and friend on weekdays, I'm really blind, bastard." ”
Zhu Zhengguo grabbed Li Xun and said in a deep voice: "The enemy army has entered the camp, and the general has ordered the army to retreat in the direction of Ezhou, so we should move quickly." ”
Li Xun nodded, and everyone was about to leave, and in the direction of the left side of the camp a few miles away, there was also a shout of killing, and countless rockets pierced the night, igniting many tents, and suddenly thick smoke was everywhere.
The earth trembled slightly, and a large number of cavalry rushed quickly along the road in the middle of the barracks, led by the great general Huang Xu.
Li Xun turned over and got on his horse and greeted him.
Huang Xun saw Li Xun and was puzzled: "Judge Li, if you don't go to join Liu Congxi's army, what are you still doing here?" ”
Li Xun smiled bitterly: "Liu Congxi and Zhan Tai Jingming have already left first, there is such chaos in the camp, I have become a headless fly, and I ask the general to teach me." ”
Huang Qian nodded silently, his expression was calm, and he was not angry because Liu Congxi and Zhan Tai Jingming abandoned the army and fled, now he doesn't have this time and mood at all.
Huang Qian told him about the specific situation, he had gathered 5,000 Jingpingguan iron cavalry, as well as Mao Fuan's 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry of Shan Qiu, a total of 13,000 elites, ready to fight to the death with the enemy, and the rest of the people were under the leadership of Gu Yong and Zhao Feidu, two generals, who broke through from the left side of the camp and retreated in the direction of Ezhou.
"Judge Li, are you going to break off with me, or are you breaking through?"
Li Xun's eyes swept around, the more than 10,000 people behind Huang Xun, the queue was neat, the murderous spirit was strong, and there was no chaos at all, obviously the most elite troops of the entire army, and he glanced at the left side of the camp, chaotic, the troops had not yet gathered to form an effective resistance.
"General, I'll break off with you."
"Follow me, and my soldiers will take care of you."
Huang nodded and set his horse forward.
"Brother Dog, we're with you."
Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi whispered beside them.
"We are brothers, and of course we cannot be separated."
Li Xun glanced around, pulled the two to the side, and said in a low voice: "If there is a chance, you must have the war horse in your hands, and the chance of escaping will be greater." ”
Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi nodded, and added to the five thousand infantry of Shan Qiu.
Li Xun turned over and quickly followed Huang Xun's team.
His ears were full of the sound of heavy horses' hooves, a gust of wind blew, blowing his hair and beard, revealing his forehead full of sweat, Li Xun clenched his hands into fists, his mood was undoubtedly extremely nervous, he never expected that things would develop to such a point, and the reversal of the situation would come so quickly.
Zheng Ze looks fierce on the outside, but in fact he is very careful and cautious, he did not press all the troops, and rushed directly into the camp, but only sent two thousand light horsemen to kill them, and set fires everywhere, many of them were still asleep, or they were burned alive.
Liu Xiang said on the side: "General Zheng, such a good opportunity is when our whole army presses and gives it a fatal blow, why do you hesitate here?" ”
"Huang Qian is not an unknown person, the 5,000 cavalry he brought from Jingping Pass is the elite of the elite, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, we must not be careless."
Zheng Ze pointed to the big camp in front of him and said: "Have you seen it, Huang Zhen's mode of camping is very old-fashioned, it is divided into two military camps before and after, there is a large avenue in the middle, there are many barricades and fences in the front barracks, and the rear barracks are quite lenient, I dare to conclude that the five thousand cavalry he brought must be in the back barracks, and our leading army will be directly killed, and we will definitely not be able to reach the back barracks for a while and a half, the surrounding chaos is chaotic, there are fires burning everywhere, and our army will definitely be affected, Once the cavalry led by Huang Zhen rushed in, it would not be good for us. ”
After Liu Xiang heard this, he nodded slightly, feeling that what Zheng Ze said made sense, there were 20,000 troops on his side, and Huang Baichuan led an army of 30,000 to kill from the left, and the other party's camp was already in chaos, and if he didn't break through, it would only be a dead end.
"General, the main cavalry of the other side has rushed out of the camp and is coming towards us."
A cavalryman rushed forward and shouted a loud report.
It's good to come!
Zheng Ze raised his head and laughed: "The whole army is arrayed and ready to fight." ”
Huang asked Shan Qiu to lead the 3,000 infantry of his headquarters to clear out the enemy troops mixed into the camp, gather the scattered soldiers, and then break through from the left military camp and withdraw to Ezhou.
Zheng Ze's army of 20,000 was five miles away from the camp.
Zheng Ze's combat experience is also extremely sophisticated, and he gives orders one after another.
Three thousand pikemen lined up at the head of the line, and three thousand archers had drawn their bows and set up their hands.
The 6,000 cavalry were divided into two teams, running from the left and right, and when Huang Xian's troops arrived, they immediately launched an attack from both sides, Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang led 3,000 sword and shield soldiers and 2,000 elite cavalry to sit in the headquarters of the Chinese army.
Huang Xu, as the main general, is actually the front of the charge, which is extremely rare on the battlefield, but he did this, but it also greatly improved the morale of the soldiers of the whole army.
Eight thousand cavalry rushed out of the barracks, five miles away, the black oppression, the sense of depression of the war has been thick to the extreme, and everyone's hearts are lifted.
Huang Zhen pulled out his weapon from the back of the horse, it was a two-handed glaive long knife, this knife was made of fine iron, weighing more than 60 catties, it was ordered by Pingzong to thank Huang Zhen for his kindness, and ordered people to spend several years to build.
A weapon weighing more than 60 kilograms, Huang Qian could easily lift it with only one hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Kill the enemy!" ”
Fight the enemy!
Fight the enemy!
All the soldiers raised their weapons in the air and shouted angrily.
Listening to these heroic voices, the timidity in Li Xun's heart actually dropped a little, and a soldier next to him handed him a shield, Li Xun took the shield and looked at him gratefully.
