Chapter 328: Victory and Return
Night!
The sky is bright and the summer breeze is gentle.
From time to time, the night owl let out a terrible cry.
Zhang Bao and Zhao Tong led the ordinary soldiers, and the baggage went first. Guan Ping led three or four thousand soldiers, and the iron armor of the vehicle was broken. Guan Ping was wearing armor, wearing a big coat, riding a horse and a horizontal knife.
The word "Guan" is a flag, and the hunting sounds.
Ten miles away, the grass and trees on both sides of the road are extremely deep.
"Drive the mule and horse chariots to the north, and order the soldiers to prepare armor and ambush the grass on both sides. Snakes and insects must be driven away with spears before they are bitten. ”
Guan Ping saw that the terrain around him was good and far enough, so he reined in and ordered.
"No." Zhou Xiong suddenly agreed, and personally organized the soldiers to remove the armor from the car first, put on the armor, and then drove the cart of mules and horses to a distant place.
Immediately, Guan Ping turned over and dismounted, and three or four thousand men and horses including Zhou Xiong were ambushed on both sides of the grass, waiting for the pursuers.
It is commonly known as waiting for the rabbit.
If the Jiangdong people come to chase, they can at least win a small victory.
If the people of Jiangdong don't come to chase, they will be busy in vain.
However, Guan Ping knew that the other party's banner was Zhou, Pan, Huang, and Guan Ping was familiar with history books, and knew that Pan Zhang was in a hurry, so he might be fooled.
This ambush is not easy, a dozens of pounds of armor on the body, both heavy and sultry, now it is summer, and the weather is sultry tonight.
There are a lot of people around.
Soon after, Guan Ping was sweating profusely. Coupled with the mosquito nuisance all around, Guan Ping's face and hands are packed, which is very itchy.
"If no one chases after this, it's a waste of hard work." Guan Ping thought to himself.
But soon Guan Ping was happy, because he heard the sound of people and horses, and the voices of people and horses neighed, and the sound of horses' hooves was crisp.
There is no need for Guan Ping to give an order, and the soldiers will be followed by careful breathing, so as not to make an alarm and disturb the enemy.
Not far to the east, Pan Zhang led his men and horses to pursue Guan Ping.
"Quick, quick. The enemy is carrying a heavy load of chariots and horses, and he will inevitably not be able to go fast. Hurry up, hurry up. Pan Zhang, dressed in armor and holding a big knife, kept urging the soldiers to hurry.
Pan Zhang is greedy for money and often intercepts and kills wealthy soldiers, but he is actually unpopular. But he was vicious, and he coerced the soldiers, and the soldiers did not dare to disobey orders.
Similar to the previous Zhang Laosan.
Therefore, with Pan Zhang's urging, the soldiers had to exert their strength to eat milk and rush westward in order to catch up with the Guan army.
As long as you can catch up with the opponent's army, Ma Liang, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Tong.
Pan Zhang is very confident that he will cut off the heads of these three guys, and Wu Hou will definitely be rewarded at that time.
Pan Zhang's eyes bloomed with greed, which was not only greedy for money, but also greedy for merit.
Unconsciously, the soldiers and horses led by Pan Zhang entered the grassy section of the ambush where Guan Ping was ambushed. Guan Ping patiently did not attack immediately.
Instead, he waited until Pan Zhang's men and horses, half of them entered the range. Guan Pingcai suddenly roared angrily: "Kill !!! Although Guan Ping yelled and killed, he didn't get up and continued to lie on his stomach.
The visibility was too poor at night, although Guan Ping wanted to rush up, but considering that the boat capsized in the gutter, let's forget it.
"Kill !!!" Zhou Xiong didn't care about Guan Ping, he was the first to jump out excitedly and rushed forward with the ironclad soldiers.
Three or four thousand men, six troops, not a single archer, all of them were armed with spears and ironclad ironclad soldiers.
Zhou Xiong held a long knife, strode forward, took the lead, like a tiger into the flock, and immediately cut down several soldiers of Pan Zhang's army, and then, except for a small number of men and horses left behind to protect Guan Ping, the ironclad army killed from both sides.
Such as a torrent hitting a dam.
Pan Zhang's army was caught off guard and immediately suffered losses, killing hundreds of people. But Pan Zhang is worthy of Pan Zhang, although he encountered an ambush, he did not panic.
"Protect the archers and let them shoot them." Pan Zhang straddled the war horse, holding a big knife, although shocked, he did not panic, and ordered loudly.
Although his soldiers were caught off guard, they also tried to keep their spearmen out to protect them. The pikemen were entangled with Guan Ping's ironclad soldiers, and the archers shot arrows.
But it didn't have much effect.
The defense of the ironclad is too strong, and it is difficult for the archer to shoot the ironclad unless he hits the vital point, and it is difficult to do even damage.
It's the same with spears.
In addition to being bulky and not durable, the ironclad soldiers are too strong in defense. It is the so-called high blood and thick prevention.
And Pan Zhang's army also had iron armor, but in order to pursue quickly, he came lightly. The two sides fought, and first Pan Zhang's army was caught off guard, injuring some people.
Then Pan Zhang organized a battle between men and horses, but the ironclad soldiers, under the leadership of Zhou Xiong, immediately gained the upper hand and slaughtered Pan Zhang's men and horses in large numbers.
Pan Zhang's weakness was also exposed.
He is a dignified man with little kindness, and although the soldiers obey orders, they are very prone to problems and their willpower is not strong.
"Kill !!!" In the face of the continuous advance of the ironclad soldiers, one by one Pan Zhang's soldiers were killed, or they were injured and fell to the ground, and the smell of blood spread and rose to the sky.
The remaining Pan Zhang's sergeants were truncated into several parts, each of which kept squeezing, retreating, and crowding, unable to even unfold.
The roar of killing faded.
Pan Zhang's teeth bit his lip and bleed, "I didn't expect that I, Pan Zhang, would be buried here." "So far, Pan Zhang regretted that he had despised Ma Liang, Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong and others, and led his troops to chase after him.
In the blink of an eye, Pan Zhang's men and horses were killed and wounded in countless battles. But just before Pan Zhang's collapse, Zhou Tai led his troops to respond.
"General Pan, don't panic, Zhou Tailai too." Zhou Tai led 5,000 men and horses to respond, killing from the east, Zhou Tai held a big knife, straddled the war horse, and charged first, accompanied by 5,000 elite soldiers, like wolves and tigers.
At this moment, the starry sky is shining, the moon is clear, and the visibility is not bad. Zhou Tai led the army into the battle, took the lead, and cut down an ironclad soldier first.
With a sweep of the sword, a thousand armies were swept away. cut off the head of an ironclad soldier of the Guan Ping Army, the headless corpse, spewing blood fountains, and then the corpse was pulled out for a while, and it didn't move.
Zhou Tai led the army into the formation, and Guan Ping's ironclad soldiers were caught off guard and suffered a slight loss. And Pan Zhang's morale was greatly boosted, Pan Zhang held a knife in both hands, and the general came out, desperately rushing to kill.
"Fight hard to have a way out, follow me to kill." Pan Zhang shouted.
It's a chaotic battle at the moment.
Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai's army has 10,000 people.
The ironclad soldiers led by Guan Ping were only three or four thousand.
But Guan Pingjun did not suffer a loss, but gained the upper hand. caught off guard, killed many of Pan Zhang's horses, and cut Pan Zhang's men into several pieces.
Second, Guan Ping's department is an ironclad soldier with extremely strong defense. It is extremely difficult to kill an ironclad soldier.
And the soldiers who can wear iron armor and are selected are all one out of ten, capable and strong, brave and good at fighting.
"Kill !!"
Pan Zhang came to chase, that's it. There was still someone to answer, this was unexpected by Guan Ping, and now, Guan Ping can no longer sit back and wait for victory, he led the remaining troops of Du Bo, and also joined the war, taking the lead, a big knife in his hand, tiger and tiger, immediately killed four or five people.
A team of Dubo people who followed was also invincible.
The two sides fought chaotically, and Guan Ping gained the upper hand.
Although Zhou Tai was brave and good at fighting and killed many people, he was also an ordinary soldier under his command, and it was really difficult to resist the attack of the ironclad soldiers. But fortunately, the organization is complete, the sequence is complete, and the army can still resist, but Pan Zhang's army is gradually failing.
If you kill it, it will be bad for the people of Jiangdong.
"General Pan, you lead your troops to break through. I was fully composed, fought and retreated, and fought with him. Zhou Tai shouted loudly, letting Pan Zhang break through first.
And Pan Zhang is also brave and good at fighting, experienced, he has already acted, he took the lead, first led the troops to break through the siege, and then organized the soldiers to meet the rest of the trapped soldiers, and evacuated as many people as he could.
"Go !!" After a fight, Pan Zhang's horses were killed, Pan Zhang was covered in blood, and he was stabbed a few times, although the iron armor defended it, but the damage of the shield attack could not be avoided. Pan Zhang was extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know how many men and horses he brought out, and led the remnants to flee to the north.
Zhou Tai saw that Pan Zhang had broken out of the encirclement, so he did not continue to entangle with Guan Ping's army. Because Zhou Tai knew that the other party also had more than 10,000 people.
If the other party's reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that he will play with Pan Zhang. Zhou Tai also fought and retreated, quickly leaving the battlefield.
"Don't pursue, beware of being ambushed at night." The rise of the ironclad soldiers to kill, they have to pursue, but Guan Ping has just ambushed the other party, naturally he will not pursue, maybe the other party ambushes, and then, the ironclad soldiers are inconvenient to move, and they will definitely not be able to catch up, so they ordered not to pursue, and ordered to clean up the battlefield, and take away the soldiers left by the Jiangdong soldiers, who can walk, can not take all the seriously injured mending knives.
Not long after, Guan Ping heard the sound of people and horses in the west, and Guan Ping didn't care, he asked Zhang Bao to lead his troops to meet in advance.
Sure enough, Zhang Bao came to Guan Ping first, turned over and dismounted, and saluted: "General Ming." ”
"Help clean up the battlefield, load the iron armor and wounded soldiers, and the retinue will go west, find a place to camp, rest for the night, and set off tomorrow."
Guan Ping said.
"No." Zhang Bao suddenly agreed, and immediately led his troops to join the ranks of cleaning. Guan Ping knew that the Jiangdong people would not come to pursue tonight.
So he also took off his armor, and the man became much more relaxed.
Han Shui, blood stained all over the body, very unpleasant.
After the cleaning was completed, Guan Ping led Zhang Bao together, brought the booty, the prisoners, and went to the west to join Zhao Tong, found a vacant place to set up camp, and then set off tomorrow to return to Zigui.
It is the spring breeze that is triumphant and victorious.
Guan Ping's mood is really excellent.
It must be known that since the beginning of the battle for Nanjun, although Wang Wei and Zhao Yun cut off the other party's grain route, it was mainly harassment.
The Guan family's forces actually had the upper hand, and the other party invited Yizhou to send troops to help, and the situation of the Guan family became more and more embarrassing.
In tonight's battle, at least one or two thousand people were killed and wounded, and hundreds of people were captured.
Although it has nothing to do with the overall situation, it can be regarded as a great victory.
It's really eyebrows raised, and it's happy.
"Hahahaha." Guan Ping rode away, laughing a few times from time to time, very happy.
