Chapter 95 Zhang Laosan sells cuteness again (five watches)
South, above the plains.
The flag is displayed, and the people are like a forest. Liu Bei's men and horses surrounded thirty or forty thousand people and went to Xinye in the south.
Although Liu Bei's army had given up a lot of baggage and vacated the baggage carts to transport the old and weak women among the people, the army was still moving very slowly.
If you look closely, these people who are wrapped in them are all very reluctant. Since ancient times, it is difficult to leave the homeland, although Liu Bei has the name of benevolence and righteousness, but it is impossible to fool 30,000 or 40,000 people to go south by talking about it.
Although there are also county orders like Ye Kai, and the officials help too, so Liu Bei is still a little rough when he does it.
Because of reluctance, because of dissatisfaction, and Liu Bei was unwilling to whip the people and urge the people to go south, these people walked very slowly.
It also slowed down the speed of the army.
However, the slow pace of the march is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing. Because what he wants is to be slow.
What is Bait?
Of course, it is the prey that is bleeding, injured, and lame, which is the bait that attracts the most hunters.
All in all, there were about 50,000 soldiers on the plains, and the mountains were all over the wilderness. The army is not an army, the people are not the people, and the rabble is a mess.
The soldiers and civilians continued to move forward, and news from the rear continued to probe the horses.
The news from Tanma was that Xiahoudun led his troops to pursue, and the banners were Xiahou, Yu, and Li, and a rough look was 20,000 horse infantry troops.
At its farthest point, it was a hundred and twenty miles.
A day later, there were only sixty miles left.
On the third day, I caught up.
At this time, Liu Bei also led the army to the vicinity of Bowangpo in the north of Xinye. At this moment, it is the middle of winter, and the mountain road in Bowangpo is narrow, and the grass is everywhere.
In this battle, Liu Bei brought Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Zhang Fei four generals, as well as Sun Qian and Jian Yong. At this moment, there are only Chen Zhi and Zhang Fei walking near Liu Bei.
Chen Zhi was the Chinese army, responsible for protecting Liu Bei, and escorting the people south, the army and civilians were scattered, and Zhang Fei was responsible for the break, the army was complete, and the people were strong and strong.
Surrounded by soldiers, under the banner of the word "Liu", Liu Bei, Chen Dao, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong rode their horses, Liu Bei's Lu has been sold, and at this moment he is riding a black Liaodong horse, although it is not as good as Lu, but it is also the strongest among the horses, and his feet are very strong.
Liu Bei sat on a horse, with a sword inserted on the left and right of his waist, as if he was on the flat ground, very calmly.
"Calculate the time, Wei Wenchang, Gan Xingba and the others should be ready, right?" Liu Bei held the reins of the horse and calmly turned back to Sun Gandao.
"It should be almost." Sun Qian calculated, nodded and said.
But it was Liu Bei who used a suspicious tactic, and at this moment the total number of soldiers and civilians was about 50,000. Liu Bei was fanfare, as if Wei Yan and Gan Ning's army were still acting together, but in fact, Wei Yan had been secretly dispatched last night, and Gan Ning was ambushed in Bowangpo, and set up more things to ignite fire.
At this moment, the weather is freezing and the grass and trees are withering. It was sunny for several days, and the grass and trees were dry.
In the art of war, there are many strategies of water attack and fire attack, and Liu Bei is to draw a tiger according to the cat.
If Xiahoudun is alone, how about sending him to walk in the sea of fire?
"Drive!" At that moment, a probe horse came after him from behind, less than a quarter of an hour from the previous one. After the horse came to Liu Bei's side, the knight immediately hurriedly reported: "Lord, the front army of Xiahoudun is already less than a mile away from us. ”
"Uncle Zhi, you and I will lead the people first, don't let the people suffer from the military revolution. After the fate of the wings was broken, he fought and retreated, leading Xiahoudun to go deep into Bowang. ”
Liu Beigao sat on the horse, calmly.
"No."
Chen Zhi responded to the promise, personally rode his horse forward, and guided the soldiers and people to speed up into Bowangpo, while Zhang Fei's department slowed down to make a break.
The Nanyang Basin is generally plain, but there are also low mountains. The area around Bowangpo is a low mountain, and the mountain road is wide and narrow.
But in the end, the army can't put on a position, and it is easy to become a long dragon.
Zhang Fei led his 4,000 men and horses to stop in the mountain road, and the formation could only be extended. Under the banner of the word "Zhang", Zhang Fei rode a war horse, with gold armor and black robes, and a spear across his back, a tiger.
"Sima. You said that if I disobey my eldest brother's order and fight to the death with Xiahou here, can I defeat him? "How can Zhang Laosan be such a rule-abiding person? At this moment, he was planning to disobey the military order and was eager to try.
Zhang Fei's battalion Sima was covered in cold sweat when he heard this, and thought to himself, although the three generals had quit drinking, this was a good thing. However, the country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change.
Can Zhang Fei obediently obey the rules?
Yingxian was covered with cold sweat, and hurriedly found a reliable reason in his heart, and then persuaded: "Of course, Xiahoudun is not worried, but he has won the hearts of the army, and it is not easy to deal with it for a while. Yu Ban, Li Dian is a famous general of Cao Cao, knowing that soldiers dare to fight, it is really difficult to deal with. The last general thinks that it is better for you to lure the enemy into the depths according to the orders of the lord's army. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Laosan glanced at Ying Sima, and said dissatisfiedly: "You mean that I am not as good as Yu Ban, Li Dian?" ”
"What kind of head are you, how can you have such a bizarre idea? Did I say that? Ying Sima almost collapsed, and then hurriedly said: "The last general didn't say that. ”
"Hmph." Zhang Laosan was very vindictive, squinted at Ying Sima, and decided to find an opportunity to wear this kid's shoes in the future.
However, although Zhang Laosan is unruly, he also shouts all day long to fight Xiangyang and Fancheng, but he also knows that it is not easy for his eldest brother to accumulate family business, and since he has a plan, he can't come hard. So I could only suppress the eagerness in my heart, take a deep breath, and calm down.
...........
In the rear, Yu Ban led 5,000 people and also entered the Bowangpo Mountain Road. Under the banner of the word "Yu", Yu Ban held a big knife in his hand and rode a war horse to move forward quickly with the army.
Yu Ban looked at the low mountains on both sides, and his face showed a thoughtful expression.
"General, the terrain here." Under the command of Yu Ban, Li Chang, a native of Qingzhou, helped his helmet and looked at the low mountains on both sides, revealing a hesitant look.
Although Yu Ban Cao Cao started the price, he fought dozens of battles large and small, and he had extremely rich combat experience, and his subordinates were all knowledgeable soldiers. This Li Chang can also see that this place is extremely bad.
"Li Mancheng and I know that this is not appropriate, but we will die. And Li Mancheng is smarter than me, and he was transferred from the former army to the rear army. ”
Yu Ban's face was expressionless, but his tone was quite unhappy.
If the war goes well, the former army is naturally poor, and it is indispensable to win more military achievements.
But what about the war not going well?
Of course, it is a heavy loss, and if you meet a bad boss, I am afraid that you will take the blame after the battle. I simply knew that although Xiahoudun was an ordinary leader, he was a capable person, so he would not let his subordinates take the blame.
However, Yu Ban said that Li Dian was smarter than him, is he a fool?
"Choose the weak soldiers first, and the capable last. If the situation is not right, we will break through immediately. Yu Ban thought for a while and whispered to Li Chang.
In fact, the centaurs under Yu Ban's command are all strong, but short people can also be selected among the tall ones, right?
Yu Ban is not Xiahoudun, he loves soldiers like sons, and he has no burden to make such a decision.
"No." Li Chang was not surprised, he promised and went down and mobilized quietly.
After the army entered the mountain road, Yu Ban saw Zhang Laosan under the banner.
"Yanren Zhang Yide is here, can Yu Ban Xiao'er dare to fight me to the death?" Zhang Fei immediately speared, bearing the brunt of the attack, trying to fight with Yu Ban.
His deputy, Ying Sima, couldn't help but roll his eyes, Feelings Third General, you still haven't given up disobeying the military order?
But Ying Sima is also quite looking forward to it, if he talks about fighting generals, he has confidence in Zhang Laosan, if he can fight at this moment to kill Yu Ban and take advantage of the momentum, he doesn't need any tricks, and he will directly crush Xiahou Dun's army.
Under the word "Yu", Yu Ban sneered and whispered to Li Chang: "Zhang Fei doesn't inquire, when will I fight with someone in Yu Ban?" ”
Li Changnai is Yu Ban's confidant, so he naturally knows this.
Yu Ban acts steadily and never takes risks easily. Fighting is an extremely risky thing in itself. Abandon the army, block the victory or defeat on your own horse battle, and be stronger than the opponent.
Yu Ban will never bet on this.
"The mountain road is narrow, and it is inconvenient to set up a formation. Ordered the soldiers to take the team as a team, start a sparse formation, and kill the generals. Dare to wrap your feet and cut it! ”
Yu Ban put the big knife in his hand behind his back, the tip of the knife downward, and said Sen Ran.
"No." Li Chang promised and sent soldiers down. So the forbidden army shouted in unison to kill, and pounced on Zhang Fei's department like a wolf.
"Woo Woo !!"
Before the two armies could clash, the archers had already hurriedly shot the arrows in their hands, and the black-pressed arrows were parabolic in the air, shooting at each other.
"The general dodges the arrows." Ying Sima hurriedly said to Zhang Fei.
"Is my old Zhang a fool?" Zhang Laosan glared at his deputy very dissatisfied, and then hurriedly rode his horse back, broke away from the front line, and returned to the army.
And Zhang Laosan's command is also in a loose formation, with shield players and pikemen in front, and archers are constantly releasing hidden weapons.
The shieldman is fine, at least one shield to cover up, and the pikeman is miserable. Occasionally, he can use a spear to pick up arrows, but more often he relies on the leather armor on his body to block it.
If the arrow hits the leather armor, there will be a blood hole at most, and if it hits the limbs, it will be scrapped on the spot. If you are shot in the neck and head, you will die on the spot.
As a result, before the two armies had clashed, many pikemen were plotted by the archers of the opposing side, and fell to the ground screaming, becoming a background board.
The forbidden army rushed quickly, and because it couldn't open the formation, it could only use a sparse formation, and the archers were scattered, so the arrows were not dense.
Both sides killed and wounded a number of pikemen, and a confrontation ensued between the mountain passes.
Yu Ban's men and horses are strong, but Zhang Fei's subordinates are not bad. In the past two years, Xinye has had abundant finances, and the soldiers have eaten and drunk enough, and they have practiced diligently.
According to Zhang Laosan's words, it is a group of good cubs.
The armies fought in sparse formations, with melee shieldmen and pikemen fighting in close combat, and archers giving priority to the opponent's archers.
The darkener is too bad, of course the smart person is the first to solve the other party's darkener, right?
If the tiger and the tiger meet, and they fight on the plains. Yu Ban, Zhang Laosan is not a coward, he must fight to the end. But at this moment, although Zhang Laosan was reluctant, he still decided to retreat.
"By the way, when Zhou Cang was a bandit, what did he say about retreating?" Zhang Laosan's brain circuit is very strange, and he asked Sima Dao.
"The wind is tight, and it's blowing." Ying Sima had to roll his eyes again.
"The wind is tight, and it's blowing." So Zhang Laosan opened his mouth and roared like a gong, although he was running away, he was full of energy, and there was a sense of excitement when he listened.
Zhang Laosan picked up his spear, slapped his horse and fled. Then the soldiers did the same, and shouted, "The wind is tight, and the wind is tight." ”
Then the rear army becomes the front army, and the front army becomes the rear army.
The front army fled, while the rear army fought and retreated.
Yu Ban, Li Chang looked at Zhang Fei's defeat so neatly, and knew that there was fraud in it. At this time, if Yu Ban is the commander.
Naturally, Mingjin withdrew his troops and retreated quickly.
But the problem is that now Xiahoudun's order is to pursue the other party, and he will pursue him relentlessly. If you don't pursue it at this moment, I'm afraid you will be held accountable.
At this moment, when the corporal under the command of Yu Ban saw Zhang Fei fleeing, the army's morale was greatly boosted. Yu Ban did not give an order, so the soldiers took advantage of the situation to pursue.
Yu Ban and Li Chang glanced at each other, and the two led strong soldiers and walked behind.
In the rear, the headquarters of Xiahoudun.
"Xiahou" under the banner, Xiahou was holding a spear, wearing armor and riding a horse, he heard the roar of killing in front of him, and vaguely heard, "Zhang Fei ran away, chase it." ”
"Kill Zhang Fei, kill Zhang Fei."
And so on.
Xiahoudun couldn't help but be very happy, and said to the herald soldiers beside him: "Order Yu Ban, perseverance, you must kill Liu Bei before Liu Bei escapes into Xinye, and solve this big trouble for Ming Gong." ”
"No." The herald answered, and immediately rode his horse forward.
Ahead, although Zhang Fei's department was defeated cleanly, it was not a miserable defeat, not a loss of armor and a thousand miles.
There were not many casualties on either side. When Zhang Fei lured the enemy deep into the range of about five miles, he saw that the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded on the mountain on the right, and soon after, a rocket was fired.
The rocket ignited the grass on both sides of the road, and under the grass, there were some flammable materials.
The mountain road is narrow, and there are many people walking on the road, and there is no grass. But where there are few people on both sides, there are wild grass.
Yu Ban's army was in a hurry to chase, so many people pursued in the grass. At this moment, the rocket fell, and immediately ignited the fire, and the clothes were the best flammable.
As a result, many of Yu Ban's soldiers became a fireball in the blink of an eye, screaming and rolling around, but there was no way to extinguish the fire, and they were burned to char in the scream, and gradually lost their lives.
Of course, there were not many of these soldiers who were engulfed in the fire, but the shouts of killing, the flames soared into the sky, and the smoke billowed out, which fueled the panic psychology of the soldiers.
At this time, everyone understands that they have been ambushed.
"Kill!!" Wei Yan walked with a long knife in his hand and killed him from the mountain, his flag-bearer followed him closely, and a large number of spearmen killed them from the mountain together.
Like a tiger descending from the mountain.
At the same time, Zhang Laosan, who was carrying a spear and running away, immediately became majestic and high-spirited.
"Hahahaha, you kid is forbidden not to fight with me, now I will grill you into a grilled fish." Zhang Laosan laughed unscrupulously and laughed.
"Sons, kill it. Whoever kills Yu Ban, I will pay a reward of fifty gold out of my own pocket. Zhang Laosanhu roared, and hurriedly drove his war horse to the front line.
