Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 61 Sneak Attack Counterattack
The sound of violent hooves like the waves crashing on the shore shook the earth, and rows of Dong cavalry appeared from the dust and sand to kill under the frightened gaze of the allied soldiers.
The cavalry in the first row roared in anger, and the men and horses crashed headlong into the fragile wooden fence of the coalition camp. Under the suicidal impact of the man on his back, he swept the originally thin and low guardrail to pieces, causing a group of Dong cavalry to rush in along the gap that broke through. As some Dong army warriors successively chopped down with heavy long soldiers, the entire walled fence in the rear camp of the coalition army was finally completely lost.
All the generals of the coalition forces, including Yuan Shao, made a serious empirical mistake...... They are known as the Eastern Coalition Army, and naturally they are not at all vigilant about the vast land in the East behind them, especially after Lu Bu's entire army retreated to the Tiger Prison Pass, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops have sealed the geographical throat from west to east, and they are completely immune to the possibility of being attacked from front to back. In the hearts of Yuan Shao and others, there is a battlefield in front of them, and behind them is a big rear, and if they choke the tiger prison, they will block all enemy troops. It was this intention to underestimate the enemy that made them only focus on strengthening the frontal defense when building the camp, and the defense behind the camp was completely perfunctory, and finally suffered a heavy lesson under the surprise attack of the enemy.
10,000 Liangzhou cavalry under the command of Huaxiong and Hu Zhen, 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry led by Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Wei Xu and other generals, the soldiers were divided into two roads, and the ranks of people and horses picked up the bell went around behind the coalition army, but they were not in a hurry to launch an offensive immediately, but first sent a master team that was good at assassination, and killed the coalition scout team within ten miles of ....... of course, this is only the coalition scout they found, at least the two scouts sent by the Bohai Navy, Tianyan and Fengyu, Dong Jun did not even find a hair.
After clearing the obstacles, Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao's two cavalry still cautiously sneaked for several miles, and only when they could almost faintly see the coalition camp did they blow the horn of the charge. Like a hungry wolf, they frantically attacked and killed the battalions of the coalition army and the Bohai army.
As the generals of the Dong army expected in advance, due to Lu Bu's strong invitation to fight, the eyes of the princes were concentrated in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and most of its main forces were also transferred to the front of the battlefield, and the defense of the rear camp was simply vulnerable.
A group of Coalition soldiers rushed forward. wanted to form a formation to block, but under the galloping horses of the Dong army's cavalry, they were ruthlessly scattered and trampled down.
The soldiers of the coalition army who were defeated in an instant finally ran backwards, and the turbulent current of collapse instead dispersed the formation of the army's formation behind them, and the cavalry of the Dong army sneered, chasing unhurriedly from behind like a tiger driving cattle and sheep, and the snowy long knives rose and fell, cutting the corpses of the coalition army everywhere, and the heads were rolling.
Hua Xiong laughed wildly. As he rode through the coalition camp, his spear stabbed one panicked coalition soldier after another to the ground, and his crotch struck his snow-white horse. It's all splashed with a little red plum.
His heart was full of complacency, and he was even more glad that he had taken over the attack on the coalition camp with more than 200,000 troops....... although the coalition army was huge, it seemed to be a difficult bone to gnaw, but Hua Xiong, who knew the power of Nanying, always felt it faintly. If he chose to attack the battalions of the Bohai and Changsha armies, which had a strength of less than 40,000, it would be more dangerous, so he was in full view of the generals of the Dong army. Almost with the tragic pride of a strong man who will never return, he snatched the errand of attacking the coalition camp alive. As it turned out, he made the right choice.
Hua Xiong picked up a coalition general under his horse with a spear, turned his horse's head and looked in the northwest direction, although he could not see Zhang Liao's attack on the Bohai naval camp, his heart was even more suspicious.
Far away, in the Bohai Navy camp, on a high platform, the flag was flying, obviously being orderly transferring troops and reprimanding generals, there was no panic at all....... Hua Xiong's heart was cold, the Bohai Navy was really extraordinary, it seemed that Zhang Liao's surprise attack was going to return in vain.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Sons, go forward and kill his mother...... As long as you burn the enemy's grain depot, retreat immediately! ”
"Who dares to attack my camp?" In the roar, a coalition general led hundreds of soldiers to stop in front of Hua Xiong's horse.
"Humph!" Hua Xiong stared at the general coldly and said: "Report the name, this general Hua Xiong will never kill the unknown general!" ”
"Bold Liangzhou contempt, dare to be so arrogant!" That will cross the horse and stand up, and come straight to Huaxiong: "This will be the East County Taishou Qiaomao!" Suffer death! ”
"Oh? It's a big fish? Hua Xiong's eyes lit up, his figure sitting upright on the horse's back was lifted in the air, his toes tapped on the saddle, and his whole burly body swooped towards the bridge like an eagle striking the sky.
Qiao Mao raised his head in shock, but he heard Hua Xiong's violent shout, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and he almost slashed an iron spear into an arc with both hands, and smashed it down on Qiao Mao's head with the sound of wind and thunder.
The bridge is unavoidable, and there is only a hard block of the horizontal lance.
"Dang" shook his eardrums with a loud sound, Qiaomao's arms were broken, and the blood in his mouth spurted wildly and fell off the horse.
With the power of a single blow, Hua Xiong's huge figure flipped in the air again and landed lightly and skillfully on Qiao Mao's mount.
He leaned over to stare at Qiao Mao, who was full of horror, and sneered, "By you? Also worthy of stopping in front of the general's horse? ”
With a "whoosh", the spear stabbed out, piercing through Qiao Mao's throat, and a large area of terrifying blood splashed straight out.
Hua Xiong collected his spear and jumped on his horse, and roared angrily: "Who dares to stop me? Kill! ”
"Drink! Drink! Drink! The cavalry of the Dong army cheered and killed wildly.
And the morale of the coalition forces plummeted, and someone hissed: "Oh no! General Bridge is dead, escape! ”
The atmosphere of panic spread like a plague, and for a moment, all the Allied soldiers gave up their resistance and retreated like a tide.
Compared with Huaxiong's momentum, the 10,000 elite cavalry led by Zhang Liao are facing a dilemma.
A piece of the fierce and fearless Bingzhou cavalry roared like thunder towards the Bohai naval camp on the high ground, but what welcomed them was the raging death.
Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Bohai and Changsha armies stood in several rows, taking turns to cast their strong bows and crossbows to their heart's content, and the locust-like arrow rain flew condescendingly, shooting the Bingzhou cavalry that came from the back to the horses. The dense rain of arrows even nailed the ground like thorns, and even the furious hooves of the war horses fell over in the mud.
Wei Xu was shot with several arrows, and his mount was also shot. Thanks to the sacrificed lives of his subordinates, he was lucky enough to escape from the front of the battle. He was covered in blood, stumbled in front of Zhang Liaoma, and shouted: "Wenyuan, we can't attack anymore....... the enemy army is obviously on guard, and the brothers will be wiped out!" ”
"What nonsense?" Zhang Liao said coldly: "Listen to the shouts of the coalition battalion in the distance....... Huaxiong's 10,000 cavalry has successfully broken through hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, if we can't break through the Bohai battalion, which is only more than 40,000 people, what will you and my brother do in the future to obey orders under General Lu's account?" ”
"But Wenyuan!" Wei Xu thought back to the rain of death arrows that came to his face, and his heart was full of coldness, and he argued with reason without giving an inch: "Although the Bohai Navy is small. Its subordinates are strong enough to defeat the rabble of the coalition army in one block, how can you generalize purely by numbers? ”
He said proudly: "It's not that the last general is greedy for life and afraid of death....... why did you say that Huaxiong jumped out first to take over the task of attacking the coalition army?" He's not a fool, which one is hard stubble and which one is soft, he knows it in his heart! ”
"I don't know what you said?" Zhang Liao watched another wave of about 400 cavalry rushing up, but all of them died on the slope without exception, and all of them were killed. His brow twitched suddenly, and his slowly opened lips were full of bitterness: "However, both attacked at the same time. One had brilliant results, but the other was a fiasco...... We can't afford to lose this person and the state army! ”
The horse's hooves were urgent, and Song Xian galloped his horse. Before the sound came: "Wen Yuan, you must change your tactics!" How can there be such a way of playing with human lives and filling up? ”
"Then you say, how should the tactics be changed?" Zhang Liao shouted in a low voice: "The enemy army is condescending and defending the village. We are the ones who are the ones who take the initiative...... If you don't attack, you'll be defeated! ”
Everyone was speechless, and suddenly Wei Xu looked up and said in shock: "What is that?" ”
Seven or eight small black dots flew high from the Bohai naval camp. Straight towards the battle formation of the state army.
Zhang Liao's color changed suddenly, and he yelled, "Spread out...... It's a trebuchet! ”
As soon as the words fell, the seven or eight round objects had already fallen into the formation of the Bingzhou Army, not the terrifying stone balls that rolled and crushed in the imagination, as soon as those objects landed, they immediately burst open, quickly releasing large clouds of red mist.
"What is this?" Zhang Liao, Song Xian and the others looked at the red mist with a blank face, enveloping the large group of subordinates.
Suddenly, the screams of the soldiers and the neighing of the war horses sounded together, and countless soldiers of the state army fell from their horses with their eyes and noses covered, and a large number of war horses jumped wildly like crazy, not only knocking down the cavalry on their backs, but also trampling many soldiers who fell to the ground and screaming again and again.
"Poisonous!" A soldier of the Bingzhou Army who was in tears rushed out of the red mist and screamed, "Ah! My eyes! ”
Zhang Liao and the generals of the state lost their color together.
Looking at the majestic camp not far away, Zhang Liao finally issued a painful military order: "Withdraw!" ”
This is a helpless but wise decision, and the continuous offensive of the state army has been frustrated, in the face of more than 40,000 people in Bohai and Changsha, who have superior troops, they have already lost the best opportunity for lightning attack...... It's really going to be wiped out.
Looking at the Bingzhou cavalry retreating like a tide, in the Bohai naval camp, a loud voice laughed and said: "What Bingzhou iron cavalry? Phew! Why did he run away before the main course was served? ”
Looking at Sun Ce, who was beaming with a smug face, Zhang Mengyi couldn't help but take a sip: "Is it your ability?" The production of these poisonous fog bombs is obviously due to my sister! ”
"It's all the same! It's all the same! Sun Ce said with a shy face: "Bohai and Changsha are like a family!" ”
Zhang Mengyi was about to ridicule him, but when he heard the wild hooves behind him, he immediately ordered: "All the crossbowmen, spread out the passage ....... let our cavalry out of the camp to pursue!" ”
The dragon-like cavalry brigade rushed from the camp, and the first general was Gan Ning, followed by Guan Hai, Hou Cheng, Qiang Tong, Jiang Huan, Pei Yuanshao and others with bright armor and fluttering silver cloaks, and more than ten eagle generals were dispatched in one fell swoop.
I only heard Gan Ning shouting all the way with the token in his hand: "On the orders of General Gao Shun, lead the troops out of the camp to pursue....... and still open the door and let them go?" ”
"Brother Gan, you are too unkind!" Sun Ce rushed to Gan Ning's horse and said with a disgruntled expression: "Sister Mengyi and I finally repelled the enemy's strong attack, why do you want to come to grab the credit?" Even in front of my uncle, I dare to say this, the victory over the state army can be credited with the two of us! ”
"What and state troops? Who is stealing credit from you? Gan Ning was stunned and said: "General Gao Shun conveyed General Nan's order, ordering his brother to go out of the camp to intercept and kill the Huaxiong Department who attacked the coalition camp!" ”
"What?" Zhang Mengyi was also stunned and said: "The new retreat of the Bingzhou army, and the formation has been chaotic, and the morale has been lost, it is a good time to annihilate it in one fell swoop...... Is Southern Eagle stupid? Instead of beating the water dogs who fled into the wilderness, they gnawed Huaxiong's hard bones with high morale? ”
"Miss Mengyi, the general's order is an iron law, and the general should obey it!" Gan Ning said with a solemn face: "Miss, please forgive the faux pas...... Please maintain your respect for the general, and don't forget that now you are also a member of the Bohai Eagle General! ”
"Yes! Got it! Zhang Mengyi stuck out her tongue and stepped aside.
Looking at the rapidly opening camp gate, Gan Ning pointed his long knife and shouted: "Brothers, it's our turn to fight!" ”
"Kill!" Nearly 10,000 Bohai cavalry rushed out of the camp like a black torrent. (To be continued......)
