Chapter 31: The Battle of the Sword Pavilion (Part II)

"Zhao Yun and Ma Chao listen to orders." On the morning of the third day when Jia Long was forced to withdraw from the Sword Pavilion, that is, on the morning of the decisive battle between the Yizhou army and Dong Zhuojun, in the camp of Dong Zhuojun, Kang Peng picked up the first arrow for the transfer of military horses, and ordered: "Order the two of you to take 40,000 elite soldiers to ambush on both sides of the narrow road behind the battlefield, and after the enemy's main force passes, hear the sound of cannons, and immediately block the narrow road to prevent the enemy from escaping." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yun and Ma Chao agreed in unison, and came up together to receive the order, Kang Peng added, "Zilong, Meng Qi, your task is the heaviest, not only to block the frantically fleeing enemy army, but also to resist the rescuers of the Sword Pavilion, you must be careful." Zhao Yun and Ma Chao nodded and solemnly agreed.

Kang Peng picked up the second arrow, "Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Zhang Xiu listen to the order." The three generals marched out together, and Kang Peng ordered: "You and the other three will each lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and ambush a general every ten miles on both sides of the narrow road, and when the enemy's whole army enters the narrow road, and when they hear the sound of cannons, they will rush down together, cut the enemy into several pieces, and break them all!" ”

"Yes!" The three generals agreed loudly.

Kang Peng took out the third arrow, "Lu Bu and Pang De listen to the order, you two will lead an army of 100,000 with the prime minister to fight Liu Xun, remember, first deceive and lure the enemy, and after the enemy army is ambushed, there is no need to keep it, take out all your strength, let the Yizhou army see, who is the first army in the world!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Bu added, "Father-in-law, the matter of the child's request, that Liu Xun'er is rampant, this time, please let the child kill him with his own hands." ”

"Yes." Kang Peng promised without hesitation: "As long as you can find Liu Xun before Zilong and them in the chaotic army, then Liu Xun's life is yours." ”

In the end, Kang Peng concluded: "Gentlemen, this prime minister has painstakingly arranged for many days, and finally forced the main force of the Yizhou army to the point of a decisive battle with our army, and most of the total strength of the Yizhou army is here, in order to make the future battle easier, in order to let the soldiers shed less blood and sacrifice in the future, so in today's battle, we must not only win, but also win all!" Do you have the confidence to do it? ”

"Have faith! Annihilate the enemy! Dong Zhuojun suddenly agreed, and Dong Zhuojun's strategists looked at Kang Peng with approving eyes, today this tactic Kang Peng did not ask anyone, it was he who carefully studied the nearby terrain after the Qiangang made a decision, it is obvious that all the cleverness of bad students usually use it to learn military affairs can not be said to be ineffective, at least Jia Xu, Chen Gong and other old foxes of the Three Kingdoms think this tactical plan is good.

When Dong Zhuojun went to arrange according to Kang Peng's order, the Sword Pavilion Guanzhong was also stepping up the deployment of troops, and Liu Xun, who was clearly dressed and armored, said arrogantly in the lobby: "Lei Tong, Zhang Yi, Leng Bao, Liu Fu, you and this young master will lead an army of 150,000 to the decisive battle site to set up a decisive battle, today, this young master must personally take down Dong Thief's fat head." Liu Mao and Zhang Song, the two of you stayed in the Sword Pavilion, arranged a banquet, and waited for the young master to return victoriously to celebrate. ”

After Liu Xun arranged the military, only Zhang Song and Liu Xun bowed down and agreed, but the rest of the generals hesitated, and Lei Tong admonished: "Young master, our army just went through the Jia Long mutiny the night before, and the morale was frustrated, which will inevitably affect today's decisive battle. What's more, the young master will bring all the main forces out of the Sword Pavilion for a decisive battle, if the battle is unfavorable or the enemy army takes advantage of the situation, any strategy should be resisted? ”

Lei Tong's old and serious words made the generals of the Yizhou army nod their heads again and again, but Liu Xun was furious and shouted: "Lei Tong, you dare to shake the heart of the army? Chengdu is in danger, and if we don't fight a decisive battle with the thief army, the rear of our army will be in danger! Jia Long's change is nothing more than the trouble of boils, and now his true face of betraying his lord and seeking glory has been exposed and fled, which not only has no impact on morale, but has made our army have no worries. As for the whole army attacking, have you forgotten the lesson of the young master who has repeatedly failed because of the small number of soldiers? This young master is the first in the world in martial arts, and the generals of Dong Thief are frightened, what else do they need? ”

Lei Tong still wanted to dissuade him, but Liu Xun had already shouted: "The military order is like a mountain, don't say much, and if you disobey, Zhang Ren will end!" Thinking of Zhang Ren, who was tortured and bruised all over his body in the prison, the generals of the Yizhou Army all shivered, and they didn't dare to say more, so they silently went down to prepare.

At noon, Dong Zhuojun and the Yizhou army set up a position more than 30 miles away from Jiange Pass, which was the camp where Dong Zhuojun was stationed before, and was 'forced' to withdraw for 40 miles after being 'broken' by Liu Xun - only here can he be a soldier. This is the first large-scale field battle after Dong Zhuo's army entered Sichuan, the total number of troops invested by both sides reached a terrifying 250,000, from a high place, the wilderness is densely packed with black pressed soldiers, swords and guns, the reflected light makes the sun eclipse, the crowd surges, and the eye is endless.

It was the middle of winter, the sky was cloudy, and the goose feathers and heavy snow fell, the two armies braved the snow to set up a good position, then Liu Xun jumped on the horse with a gun, and shouted out of the battle: "No way Dong thief, dare to fight to the death with this young master?" ”

Kang Peng was furious, so that Pang De went to war, Pang De slapped the horse forward, Liu Xun caught it with a gun, the battle was not counted, Pang De was defeated and left, Liu Xun was willing to let go, and chased after him, Lu Bu Pegasus arrived here, took Liu Xun, Pang De also returned to the horse and Lu Bu fought Liu Xun, a good Liu Xun, played his last glory, and danced a steel gun like a whirlwind, forcing Lu Bu and Pang De to retreat.

Kang Peng saw that the time had come, and immediately ordered Wu Yi and Zhao Cen to lead two thousand soldiers out of the battle to rush to the Yizhou Army, where Lei Tong and others saw Dong Zhuo's army rushing from the Fang Army, and hurriedly ordered the cannon, a cannon sounded, the Yizhou Army and the Chinese Army bows and arrows came out, and shot indiscriminately, Dong Zhuojun saw that the Yizhou Army was in strict formation, and did not dare to rush again, so he turned his head and left.

"Retreat! Evacuate! Kang Peng brandished the ghost head knife and shouted, commanding Dong Zhuojun to retreat into the narrow road, so angry that Wen Lu next to him pursed his lips and mocked: "Courageless old thief, the enemy hasn't been killed yet, and he is going to flee with his tail between his legs?" Kang Peng glanced at her, ignored her cynicism, and only cared about directing the troops to withdraw in turn.

"Kill! This time, we must take off the head of the Dong thief! Seeing that victory was in sight, Liu Xun was so excited that he shouted and shouted, only caring about covering the army to chase and kill, and Lei Tong next to him rushed over, "Young master, the enemy retreated first without using all his strength, and I am afraid of deception." ”

Liu Xun glared at Lei Tong fiercely, and scolded: "Courageless people, the enemy's formation is out of order, and you should take advantage of the situation to chase after it in order to achieve success, if you don't dare to go, take your troops to the rear of the palace, but the credit will not be shared by you!" At the moment, Liu Xun didn't listen to Lei Tong's good words, and only commanded the whole army to chase and kill, Lei Tong sighed, and still led the 20,000 horses and horses of the headquarters to slowly advance, not daring to pursue with all his strength.

Liu Xun was in high spirits, and rushed to the vicinity of Kang Peng's Chinese army several times, but Lu Bu and Pang De seemed to be suddenly much stronger, whenever he approached the Chinese army, he tried his best to block him, so that Liu Xun could only watch Kang Peng flee from afar, unable to break the enemy's Chinese army with one blow. And Dong Zhuojun's troops were all chaotic but not chaotic, slowly retreating, and not giving the Yizhou army a chance to break through.

And fight and retreat, unconsciously, Dong Zhuojun has withdrawn from the narrow road, close to the army camp, and the Yizhou army in addition to Lei Tong's 20,000 troops, the rest of the 130,000 troops have entered the narrow road that stretches for forty miles, there have already been a horse to report to Kang Peng, Kang Peng heard this, immediately the ghost head knife pointed to the sky, sent a signal, the red flag on the top of the mountain waved, in an instant, Dong Zhuojun's horn cannon sounded in unison, ambushed on both sides of the mountain road Gan Ning, Wei Yan and Zhang Xiu rushed down together, over there Zhao Yun and Ma Chao also from both sides of the kill, Dong Zhuojun's main force also turned his head to kill back.

In less than a pillar of incense, the Yizhou army, which was still chasing Dong Zhuojun just now, was surrounded by Dong Zhuojun, and the retreat was firmly blocked by Zhao Yun and Ma Chao; The loose and narrow team was cut off by Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu and other teams, and they could not save each other, and they could not give full play to the advantage of troops on the narrow mountain road; Over there, Dong Zhuojun's main force turned his head and killed back, this time Dong Zhuojun no longer needed to have any strength reserves, one by one Dong Zhuojun's proud soldiers and fierce generals were like tigers descending from the mountain, and the Yizhou army, whose equipment and training were far inferior to their own, were bloodied.

In the heavy snowfall, two huge armies are fighting bloodily, although the weather is cold, but both sides can't take care of so much, you can often see the shirtless sergeant whose whole body is dyed red with blood, and the head is steaming with hot white gas and swinging the knife, the blood flows into what, the dark red blood melts the snow, and turns into bright red blood water into the Dianjiang River that has frozen next to the road, and freezes into blood-red ice, not for a long time, even the surface of the Dianjiang River that has been formed ice surface is melted by blood, and the red river water is wrapped in countless corpses and flows slowly. Everywhere there was shouting and killing, everywhere there was screaming and shouting, everywhere there was the sound of weapons colliding, and the soldiers' feet stepped on the corpses of their enemies and comrades, and every foot could stir up waist-high bloody ice paddles.

In the melee, Dong Zhuojun's well-equipped advantages were fully exploited, and the divine weapons produced in Chang'an could easily cut off the enemy's blades, and then cut and pierce the enemy's thin armor, taking away the enemy's life. And the poor Yizhou soldiers are mostly shoddy iron knives and wooden guns in their hands, and when they meet Dong Zhuojun sergeants wearing scale armor or ring armor, their inferior weapons are difficult to cause damage to Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, either the knife is broken or Dong Zhuojun takes the opportunity to cut off his head, coupled with the disadvantage of the terrain, the Yizhou army is already completely at a disadvantage, and there is no chance to fight back.

Over there, Lei Tong saw the main force in ambush, hurriedly drove the army to attack Zhao Yunjun, wanted to take the main force back, ran to the valley mouth, Lei Tong bumped into Zhao Yun head-on, because it was unlikely to kill the arrogant Liu Xun with his own hands, Zhao Yun was holding his stomach, the unlucky Lei Tong just came to die, Zhao Yun was no longer polite, just a close, Lei Tong's steel knife was picked up by Zhao Yun, and then the reverse scale gun was against Lei Tong's throat, Lei Tong was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and he closed his eyes and was about to die, but Zhao Yun said coldly: "Call your subordinates to surrender and spare you from death." ”

Lei Tong gritted his teeth and shouted: "Surrender, brothers, we can't fight, surrender, the fathers and relatives in our hometown are still waiting for us." The main general took the lead in surrendering, and the Lei Tongjun, who was being attacked by Dong Zhuojun, saw that there was a glimmer of life, and they threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender, and a few recalcitrant resistors were immediately slashed by Dong Zhuojun, who was swarming up, and he was not even left with a complete corpse. Although it was shameful for Lei Tong to surrender in fear of death, he also inadvertently did a good deed, making his troops the least lost in the Yizhou army in this decisive battle, so that the lives of countless soldiers were saved.

In the melee of the narrow road, Leng Bao, the general of the Yizhou Army, saw that the army was ambushed, and hurriedly led the army to retreat, but was scattered by Gan Ning's troops, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and the soldiers could not be found. "Raise the knife and slash, Leng Bud is in a hurry, his marksmanship is chaotic, Gan Ning finds a flaw, and the gorgeously decorated broadsword takes the opportunity to stab Leng Bud's chest, and a really gorgeous blood mist emerges......

Yizhou general Zhang Yi, his own army was scattered by Wei Yan's troops, with heavy casualties, Zhang Yi had to run to the Dianjiang River on horseback, trying to escape by stepping on the ice, who expected that the ice suddenly broke, Zhang Yi and his horse fell into the cold and biting river, and was struggling, Wei Yan chased after him, Zhang Yi shouted urgently, "Surrender, I surrender, save me." Wei Yan ordered someone to drag Zhang Yi out with a rope, and at this time, most of Zhang Yi's headquarters had been destroyed, and the rest had all surrendered.

Yizhou general Liu Fu and the army staff officer Meng Guang were also surrounded by Dong Zhuo's army, the army either died or surrendered, only hundreds of people fled to a low hill, the low hill was surrounded by Zhang Xiu's army in an instant, Zhang Xiu shouted: "You and so on surrender quickly, the master will spare you from death." Liu Fu and Meng Guang glanced at each other and shouted in unison, "Loyal ministers do not serve the two masters, and we will not surrender." Zhang Xiu was furious, and the army attacked the low hill, Liu and Meng's personal soldiers were all killed, and the two were also wounded, and at the critical moment, Meng Guang shouted, "Lord, the minister left first." Then he returned to the sword and killed himself, and Liu Fu also killed himself by hitting the knife and gun. After the war, even the bad student Kang Peng admired their loyalty and ordered the two to be buried thickly.

The most pity is the Yizhou general Ma Han, he had already killed to the valley mouth, and he could escape, but he was intercepted by Ma Chaojun, Ma Han gritted his teeth and worked hard, but was surrounded by Ma Chao's army, and the left and right conflicts could not come out, as the soldiers around him became fewer and fewer, Ma Han sighed: "This day our army died, no wonder." With that, Ma Han vomited blood and died in the chaos.

At this point, the generals of the Yizhou army either surrendered or died, only Liu Xun, the initiator of this great defeat, was still struggling to support, not that he really pulled out the mountain and covered the world, but that he had the most soldiers around him, and at the same time, Wenhou Lu Bu, the righteous son of the Han Dynasty Dong Taishi, gave a death order, no one was allowed to kill Liu Xun, he Lu Bu could only kill him himself! Therefore, Liu Xun was able to temporarily save his life and fled to a dirt mountain with more than 5,000 people.

It was already evening, Kang Peng saw that the war was nearing the end, and the complete victory of the army was a foregone conclusion, and he heard that Liu Xun had been found, Kang Peng was interested, and wanted to see Lu Bu kill Liu Xun with his own eyes, so he took Pang De and a group of personal soldiers to Liu Xun's surrounded. The black horse stepped on countless bloody and fragmented corpses, passed through the piles of corpses, and carried the obese Kang Peng to the foot of the dirt mountain......

When he came to the foot of the dirt mountain, Lu Bu had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw Kang Peng, he shouted, "Father-in-law, the child has been waiting for you for a long time, I heard that you have to see the child's martial arts, so that this child can live until now, otherwise the child would have rushed up and cut him." ”

Kang Peng nodded, Lu Bu immediately rode alone to rush to the mountain, the Yizhou army on the mountain was frightened, and hurriedly formed a formation to intercept, but Lu Bu rode the red rabbit horse too fast, and rushed into the formation in the blink of an eye, the Yizhou army was like a wave of waves, and scattered, that Liu Xun was crying and regretting in the formation, and suddenly saw Lu Bu killing, and hurriedly wanted to raise a gun to meet the enemy, but Lu Bu Fangtian's halberd had arrived in front of him, and he was immediately stabbed in the center of the nest, and his life was whined, Liu Xun didn't understand until he died, why his subordinates were repeatedly defeated, and they would be so powerful......

Lu Bu succeeded in a blow, calmly dismounted and cut off Liu Xun's head, and then returned to the horse formation, the surviving Yizhou army saw that the enemy was so powerful, and no longer had the fighting spirit, all abandoned their weapons, knelt on the ground and surrendered and begged for their lives, and the last stubborn force of the Yizhou army was also destroyed. On Dong Zhuojun's side, there was naturally thunderous cheers, cheering for the victory of the battle and Lu Bu's divine martial arts.

Kang Peng also laughed proudly, and laughed wildly: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die!" Before Kang Peng's words fell, he suddenly felt a cold vest, followed by the sound of steel crashing, and Pound's shouting, "Slut, seek death!" Then there was the sound of his body falling off his horse, Kang Peng was shocked, and hurriedly looked back, but saw that the mysterious beauty who had been ruined by himself was falling to the ground, and there were already dozens of steel knives on her, and a blood-stained short knife fell aside. Kang Peng realized that his heart hurt at this time, and he reached out to touch it, but found that his hands were full of blood.

Pang De clenched his fists and said: "Taishi, this slut just took advantage of your inattention and pulled out a knife to assassinate you." ”

Pound's words were like a lightning strike to Kang Peng, Kang Peng stood for a long time, even forgetting the pain of his vest, and only said after a while: "You said that you were going to kill me with your own hands, it turned out to be true." ”

Although there were dozens of steel knives on his body, Wen Lu was still fearless, and said hatefully: "You are my father-killing enemy, and you have tarnished my innocence, of course I will kill you with my own hands." I only hate you scarred lackey for interference, so I will fail, old thief, kill me. ”

Pang De and Lu Bu were furious and drew their swords to kill Wen Lu, but Kang Peng stopped them and said strangely: "You killed your father's enemy?" Who is your father? Wen Lu spat heavily at Kang Peng, closed his eyes and did not answer Kang Peng's words.

"Father-in-law, there are many beautiful women in the world." Lu Bu said angrily: "Kill her, and the rest will be as many as you want!" ”

Kang Peng hesitated for a moment, but after all, he was still reluctant, shook his head and said: "Let's go down first, and it's not too late to kill after asking clearly." Kang Peng added, "You are not allowed to abuse her." ”

That night, Liu Mao and Zhang Song presented the Sword Pavilion Pass to Kang Peng, so far, after Kang Peng designed to force away the Yizhou veteran Jia Long, the first dangerous pass in Shuzhong fell into the hands of Dong Zhuojun, and at the same time, Dong Zhuojun also annihilated the main force of the Yizhou army, and no army in Yizhou could confront Dong Zhuojun......
