Chapter 82: Peacock
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Wei army crossed the mountains around Zheshiling and Xiaoshanzui, and advanced to Huishuiji, which was only 30 miles away from Wuyuan City. The collection is said to be receding, and the cover is adjacent to the south end of the red willow depression in the north because of the retreating water set, and the huge red willow depression is extinct here.
Yuwen Qiu looked at the vast red willow valley in the north, but when he saw the water and marshes and the fog, he frowned, and couldn't help blurting out: "If the peacock of the six Han Dynasty tries to intercept our army, most of the troops are here!" Cheer up, don't be careless! ”
The brothers were also considered to be old men in the Wuyuan area, and they nodded when they heard the words: "The retreating water is north of the red willow depression, and it is difficult for the cavalry to pass; The east is a small mountain and a ridge, and the mountain road is rugged; If you go south, you will reach the Yellow River three tens of miles away, which can be described as a moat. Breaking the six Han peacocks but lining up in the west can block our way back. ”
He Batsheng sneered again and again: "Then we have to see if he can stop it or not, right?" ”
Sure enough, as Yuwen expected, the Wei army traveled a few miles further, and there was already a sentry horse in front of him to report: The West Thief Army of the Retreating Water Collection is densely packed, and the banner reads the words "King of Pingnan", which is the peacock of the Broken Six Hans!
Yuwen Qiu's face was solemn: "What is the strength of the thief army?" ”
"Count about 8,000 to 10,000, you can't be wrong!"
"But take a closer look? Will there be an ambush? ”
The sentry replied: "All the way to the northwest is grassland, the terrain is low and flat, and there is absolutely no possibility of ambushes. And we are scattered dozens of miles away, and there is nothing abnormal everywhere we pass! ”
Yuwen Qiu's face softened slightly, and he nodded: "Okay!" That's a dignified battle with the broken six Han peacocks! ”
As soon as the words fell, another Pegasus came from behind the army, shouting, "General! Urgent! ”
"Say!"
The sentry rider did not dismount, but spoke hastily. It turned out that there were two small bands of thieves who followed the footsteps of the Wei army all the way, and inadvertently, a few more teams joined. At this time, the retreat to the east of the water set, the chasing soldiers behind the Wei army added up, and there were no less than 5,000 people in front and back.
Dugu Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "The thief is so calculating! This is intended to be a front and back attack in the retreat of the water... ”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Then the sentry rider continued: "When the subordinates came down, General Gao Huan said that he would lead the rear army to intercept the thieves' pursuits. Please rest assured General Yuwen, but with him, he will never teach a thief to chase the soldiers into the retreating water set! ”
"Gao Huan, this guy... He Batsheng couldn't help laughing: "It's a nice thing to say, it's clear that he is afraid of breaking the iron horse of the Liuhan Peacock, so he wants to pick the soft persimmon to pinch it." Hehe, it is said that there are 5,000 thieves chasing soldiers, but how many of them can fight? ”
Yuwen Qiu looked far behind him, sighed, and said: "That's it, he is happy but he can intercept the thieves' pursuers and prevent the thieves from attacking back and forth, which can be regarded as a contribution." We were already planning to fight with the Peacock of the Broken Six Koreas, even if we didn't have Gao Huan's help, what were we afraid of? Let's see that the thief army is powerful, or my Wuchuan army is better! ”
The brothers were full of pride and ambition, and they all raised their guns and shouted: "Let's see that the thief army is powerful, or my Wuchuan army is better!" ”
。。。。。。
This battle, at the beginning, was indeed dignified, and it can be said that the thunder hit the earth fire, and it was extremely violent.
The Peacock of the Sixth Han took the lead in attacking, and the elite cavalry of the department was incomparable, and they rushed head-on, and the momentum was terrifying.
The Wuchuan army was unmoved, and the two brothers Yuwen Lian and Yuwen Luosheng led the Chinese army with 2,000 foot soldiers, supported the land with a thick shield, and entered the soil for three points; With the eight spears of Zhangba, the bright and shaking, the forest is cold. The Wuchuan army instantly turned into a huge iron hedgehog, and there was no way to speak. The enemy cavalry will come to the front of the formation, and they will not dare to break through.
Yuwen Qiu was behind, commanding a thousand longbowmen to divide into several columns and shoot in turn. The arrows pierced through the air, one after another, and seemed endless for a while. When the arrows rained, there were many thieves and knights who fell off their horses.
The peacock shook the order flag, and the thieves rode in the field at a high speed and made a large detour, trying to attack the two wings of the Wuchuan army in a roundabout way.
Yuwen Qiu has already calculated, and the command is determined. With a wave of his hand, Dugu Xin on the left and Yang Zhong on the right, each led a thousand horsemen out of the battle, intercepting the thief and riding for a while, regardless of up and down.
Not long after, Dugu Xin took the lead in leading his troops out of the battle formation and went to the right. The enemy cavalry on the left flank was unguarded and deceitful, and pursued closely, and unconsciously led them to the front of the Wuchuan Central Army. I only heard a bang, and the strong bow and arrows were splashed out like money, and I don't know how many thieves and knights fell from their horses.
The left-wing thief army was in chaos, and the spearmen of the Wuchuan Central Army crossed the thick shield formation and took advantage of the situation to kill. You don't need to look at it at all, just shake your arms and stab forward, and you can always poke the thieves and soldiers.
Po Liuhan Peacock was taken aback, did not dare to hesitate, and immediately led a fine horse to help. The drums in the Wuchuan army were like thunder, and He Basheng couldn't bear it anymore, shouted loudly, and led a thousand cavalry under his command to intercept it head-on. As the saying goes, he will meet a good talent, and when he meets an opponent in chess, the two of them catch each other and fight, and they are not divided into winners and losers for a while!
When it was, Dugu Xin led his troops from left to right, and slammed into the thief army formation that was fighting with Yang Zhong's army on the right flank. The thieves were caught off guard, and were attacked from front and back, and they were immediately overwhelmed. After a moment of fighting, more than half of the damage was already lost, and it really couldn't hold on, so with a whistle, he retreated.
The middle lane broke the six Han peacocks to fight against He Basheng, and they had gradually gained an advantage, but at this time, they caught a glimpse of the situation in the field, and they lost both the left and right wings, and they couldn't help but twitch and shouted pity. Even so, the peacock did not hesitate, and at the beginning of the long lance, he forced He Basheng to retreat in three or two strokes, but he twisted his fingers and shh He Batsheng saw that the law of the Peacock Department of the Six Han was strict, and although he did not retreat, he did not dare to chase after him, so he had to let him retreat.
It's just the first round of fighting, and the two sides have almost used all their strength to fight to the death. In the end, Yuwen Qiu made proper scheduling, and Dugu believed in the stroke of God, so he had to defeat the left and right wings of the thief army, killing no less than a thousand enemies.
In the Wuchuan army formation, He Basheng gasped heavily: "The peacock of the six Han is really worthy of its name, and its strength is great." I went back and forth with him for dozens of times, and at this moment I felt that my arms were numb, and I couldn't even hold the horse lance. ”
Yuwen Qiu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This thief is brave and good at fighting, and he should not be underestimated. Although we won a battle, we counted it and lost seven or eight hundred brothers. In the end, there are many thieves, and they still have a slight advantage at the moment, and the big guy must go all out to kill him! ”
The brothers looked solemn and bowed their hands together: "No! ”
