Chapter 6 Retreat calmly
Just when Zhang Luo was in a dilemma, he heard the sound of the wind, and it turned out that Zhou Cang had made a move. After killing the Han army in front of him, Zhou Cangbu's attention also fell on the unusually eye-catching Northern Army Lang Officer on the battlefield, seeing that Zhang was slightly restrained, because of the distance from this Lang official, Zhou Cang threw the spear in his hand as a javelin to Wang Xiong.
But this Wang Xiong's kung fu is not weak, even if he was attacked by this sudden attack, he still did not panic, the ring head knife in his left hand was sharpened, and the hardwood spear thrown by Zhou Cang was actually cut in two.
Zhang Luo would not let go of this opportunity, and he also threw his spear with all his might. Zhang Luo's strength is much greater than Zhou Cang's, and the spear is fast and accurate. In an instant, it flew to Wang Xiong's chest, and Wang Xiong's lower plate was extremely stable, and at this critical moment, he actually tried to turn his upper body, which was able to avoid the vital point of his chest. However, Zhang Luo's spear still stabbed Wang Xiong's right arm. At this time, Wang Xiong could no longer hold the crossbow in his right hand, but this guy was really ruthless, he gritted his teeth, waved the ring knife in his left hand, and cut off the shaft of Zhang Luo's spear along the head of the spear.
Seeing such a ruthless person, Zhang Luo even admired it a little - the response of the Han army officer on the opposite side was very correct, if he pulled out his spear at this time, it would immediately be the result of blood spraying. If you don't care about this spear, the shaft of the spear is heavy and can't move at all. Even if you force the bullet, the wound will be opened by the spear, and it is easier to die at that time. Cutting off the heavy barrel of the gun and leaving only the lightest gun head on the body is already the best way to deal with it.
Such a guy can't let go, at this time Zhang Luo didn't have a spear in his hand, and the Han army pikemen threw a lot of spears in their hands when they fled. Zhang Luo casually picked up a spear from the ground, and prepared to go up to deal with the heroic Wang Xiong.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the forest on the side of the official road: "Kill! Kill the dog! ”
It wasn't just shouting, someone was hitting the trees and grass with sticks, and there was a lot of movement. According to the original plan, Zhang Luo's subordinates were divided into two routes, Wu Chang Du Yuan and Liao Chun took eight brothers with five pairs of foot bows to ambush in the woods, and when it was time to rush to kill, they suddenly shouted and bluffed to give the Han army greater psychological pressure. It's only now that they've come up with this, thinking it's because the arena is moving too fast. The official road is potholed, and it takes more time to walk through the forest.
This timing can't be said to be bad, and more importantly, Du Yuan and they brought long-range weapons. After shouting for a while, they fired three rounds from behind the grass and trees at the chaotic Han army on the official road, and even if they did not cause any damage to the Han army, they made the Han army even more frightened. At this time, even the Han Army, which was originally considered to have a rigorous lineup, was a little shaken.
Just as Zhang Luo was about to continue to rush and kill, the few people who followed Wang Xiong stepped forward to protect him. Zhang Luo didn't dare to rush forward too rashly, if those few entourages also suddenly took out their crossbows, Zhang Luo was not an invulnerable King Kong incorruptible body. But Wang Xiong didn't insist, and said a few words to the entourage of the pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers escorted Wang Xiong to retreat.
The battle was unfavorable, and they encountered suspicious soldiers, and the Han army, which had always been quite capable of fighting, finally gave up the plan to continue fighting with Zhang Luo. The Chinese army of the Han army had already collected the routs on the official road, and began to retreat in an orderly manner before the morale of the entire army was completely shaken. What Zhang Luo admired was that the guy commanding the troops in the Chinese army of the Han army could still let the spearmen, sword and shield soldiers of the Han army lay down the array and force the formation when retreating.
The Han army began to retreat, but Zhang Luo could not lead the troops and began to retreat. It was not easy to overwhelm the Han army with weak forces, and what was needed at this time was to maintain this psychological advantage. If you lead people to retreat, the Han army that reluctantly retreats is afraid that they will be able to regroup their ranks and start pursuing, and those brave battles in front of them are equivalent to being lost. A few steps forward to pick up the hand crossbow and the ring head knife that Wang Xiong had dropped, Zhang Luo and his brothers stood on the official road and shouted at the retreating Han army.
However, the Han army still maintained order, and still guarded the first half of the grain team, and continued to retreat in an orderly manner along the official road away from Zhang Luo and others.
After the distance between the two sides passed two hundred meters, Zhang Luo immediately led his brothers to run towards the pack team that was trying to escape from the rear of the Han army. The Han army in the rear team had already run away without a trace, but the people who transported the military rations felt sorry for the horses, and they tried hard to hold the horses one by one.
"We're not going to kill you!" After catching up with the pack caravan, Zhang Luo stood next to a pack horse and casually comforted the groom, who was like a sifting chaff, and as he spoke, he had already untied the not-so-large bag in the bamboo basket on the horse's back. Be sure to have salt! Be sure to have salt! Zhang Luo prayed in his heart.
Both bags were filled with beans, corn, and grain. Then I opened another bag, which also contained grain. And Pei Yuanshao, who was inspecting another pack horse next to him, had already shouted excitedly, "This is salt." ”
Everyone looked at Pei Yuanshao in surprise, only to see that Pei Yuanshao didn't seem to dare to believe himself, and pinched a small handful of white things and put them in his mouth. Then the whole face wrinkled.
"It's really salt!" Pei Yuanshao smashed his mouth and smiled happily.
At this time, everyone was overjoyed, no matter what the brothers were whirring and panting, Zhang Luo ordered everyone to try their best to take as much as possible. The brother in charge of the answer had already brought hemp rope over, and everyone knew that they had to be quick at this time. Tie two cloth bags with twine, and put them on your shoulders to carry two.
Zhang Luo didn't bother to look for anything else, he shouted to his excited subordinates: "Get off the Han army's military shoes." ”
This reminder is really timely, after all, it is the Han army, these people all have military boots on their feet, that is, these military boots are made of cloth, which is much better than these straw shoes on their feet. The soldiers immediately dragged wildly, and each of them was able to put on a pair. Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang's straw sandals and shoelaces were broken, so they simply sat on the ground, took off their straw sandals, and directly replaced them with Han Jun's boots.
Standing up and taking two steps, Zhou Cang smiled: "This is really good." ”
Zhang Luo didn't want to let his brother be stunned at this time, he shouted: "Retreat!" Drag Xu Rong away. ”
A bag weighed about ten catties, and Zhang Luo asked each brother to bring four, and he carried the fainting Xu Rong himself.
When the distance between the two armies was more than a mile, Zhang Luo immediately ordered: "Withdraw quickly!" ”
Zhang Luo urged repeatedly. In the blink of an eye, the roles of the two sides on the battlefield were reversed. The Han army became pursuers who had not yet begun the pursuit, and Zhang Luo and them became fugitives who were fleeing.
The road to retreat was prepared a long time ago, and no matter how the Han army responded, he led his brothers on the road to Guangzong City.
In the Han army's grain transportation team, Yuan Ang's face was gloomy and watery as he looked at the Yellow Turban robbers hidden in the mountains and forests. The 150-odd grain convoy and more than 50 people were left in the army, and now there are less than 60 people left who can still be assembled. Some Han soldiers and civilians fled into the dense forests on both sides of the official road, and they would probably gather after a while. Yuan Ang estimated that this part of the Han army would be able to come back at most about two dozen more. Nearly half of the entire grain team was killed, and none of the rebels were killed, recalling the ferocity of the rebels he saw in the battle, especially the yellow turban leader who rushed to the front, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
If the number of Yellow Turban traitors is not twenty, but forty or even sixty. The Chinese military department, including himself, is only afraid that none of them will be able to escape their lives today. Yuan Ang can also be regarded as a bold and heroic person, thinking of this, he suddenly had a killing intent in his heart, he turned to Sima Lu Feng, another marching soldier who commanded the escort team, and ordered loudly: "Send someone to chase after you now!" We must not let go of these traitors! They are definitely Yellow Turban Lux. ”
After listening to Yuan Ang's order, Lu Feng, who had escaped by chance, said with a pale face, "Yuan Zuojun, we were ordered to escort grain and grass, and at this time we have fought bravely to kill the enemy and repel the enemy army. Let's quickly gather the horse team, defend carefully, and ask for help to answer at the same time! If these thieves want to attack the west, sending troops over is just falling for their tricks. ”
"Fight to kill the enemy?" Yuan Ang almost got angry after saying this. This is being killed by the enemy, right? After the battle, in addition to failing to kill any of the thieves who blocked the road and robbed, the grain team killed and injured at least 60 people, and Xu Rong's whereabouts are unknown. If he hadn't sent Wang Xiong and his own soldiers to resist at the critical moment, I am afraid that the grain transportation team would have been completely defeated at this time.
"Yuan Zuojun, it was you who fought bravely to kill the enemy with your humble duties." Lu Feng immediately corrected his inappropriate words.
Yuan Ang glared at Lu Feng viciously, "Those traitors are carrying a lot of things, where can they run at this time." If you don't chase them now, are you going to connive at them to escape? ”
Even if he was very respectful to Yuan Ang, Lu Feng would have mustered up the courage to refute: "Yuan Zuojun, he was ordered to escort the military rations. When encountering a traitor robbing military rations, he naturally had to fight bravely...... Fight the enemy. But this traitor has fled, and if he pursues him, he has mistakenly fallen into the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. That humble position will be impossible to redeem! ”
