Chapter 225: Scuffle



The brightly lit official and military camp was also very nervous tonight, and Batu walked back and forth in the camp tent, muttering all the time, why haven't the tribal reinforcements arrived yet?

The Batu tribe is not far from the county seat of Quang Ninh, and it only takes eight hours to go back and forth. It has been twelve hours since the announcement of the dispatch of troops last night, and the 6,000 soldiers have not yet been found, which makes Batu worried.

With their own handwritten orders, the soldiers left behind will definitely obey them unconditionally. Then why the Wuhuan tribe who are expected to arrive at noon at the latest, there is no news yet.

It can't be an accident, right? As soon as Batu had this thought in his heart, he was strangled to death by himself, and now Qiu Liju and Wen Qin are facing each other in Liucheng, Kebineng has been scared back to his nest by Zhao Yi, and the official army in the central part of Youzhou is empty, if something really happens, I am afraid it will also be caused by his own tribe.

Batu was anxious in the military tent, but Zhao Yi's face was quite indifferent, and he still had the heart to talk and laugh with Zhu Jun and Liu Bei. Batu saw the dark anger in his heart, and said what he was worried about, wanting to see the panic on Zhao Yi's face, but Batu was disappointed, Zhao Yi's face did not change, and even persuaded Batu not to be anxious.

"General Batu, don't panic, look at Bolai's appearance and already have a plan in his heart." Zhu Jun also persuaded Batu, he admired Zhao Yi's resourcefulness very much, when he fought with the Yellow Turban Army that day, if it weren't for Zhao Yi's resourcefulness, how could he win so easily.

Seeing that Batu's worries were not reduced, Zhao Yi sighed and stood up, and whispered a few words in Batu's ear. Batu's worried face suddenly turned into surprise, and he asked Zhao Yi eagerly: "Is this true?" ”

"Seriously." Zhao Yi shook his head and sat down, ordinary military secrets cannot be told to others, but if Zhao Yi does not inform Batu of his plan, Batu will definitely be restless, as a general of the unified army, if he is restless, he will make a lot of wrong decisions, so that he will lose his troops and generals, and even worse, it will lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

Batu scratched his head, laughed twice, and left the tent. Zhao Yi likes a simple man like Batu very much, because this kind of person is relatively easy to control, but a talented and ambitious person like Liu Bei is not easy to control. Liu Bei followed Yuan Shao, also lived in Taoqian, Xuzhou, and worked with Cao Cao, these places were just places of refuge for Liu Bei in times of crisis, once he escaped the crisis, Liu Bei would leave.

This is different from Sun Ce's departure from Yuan Shu that day, when Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, died at the hands of Liu Biao, Sun Ce was only seventeen years old, and he led his troops to attach to Yuan Shu and made a lot of great contributions. But Yuan Shu didn't pay much attention to it, so that Sun Ce exchanged the jade seal of the country for 3,000 soldiers and laid down the rich mountains and rivers of Eastern Wu, but Yuan Shu, who got the jade seal, took advantage of this to become the emperor and became the target of the public, and was requisitioned by all parties until he perished.

If Yuan Shu had relied on Sun Ce a lot at that time, and treated him with courtesy, with Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other veterans of Eastern Wu to help, Yuan Shu might not have the possibility of success as emperor.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly appeared in Zhao Yi's heart, staring at Liu Bei with unkind eyes, and said in his heart that if it was not Liu Biao but Liu Bei and Cao Cao who killed Sun Jian, what would happen to the situation in the Three Kingdoms? The revenge of killing his father is not shared, and the two families of Sun and Liu will never be able to unite. If you use some means to win over Sun Ce and others for your own use, wouldn't you be invincible?

This is just an idea that suddenly rose in Zhao Yi's heart, and as for how to implement it, Zhao Yi has not thought of it. Moreover, Youzhou is nearly a thousand miles away from Yangzhou, and Zhao Yi's hand is not so long. So this thought was just a flash in Zhao Yi's mind.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhao Yi was already a little drunk, and walked out of the military tent with swaying eight-figure steps, staring at the starry sky with his eyes flashing.

Zhao Yi put the bronze jue in his hand on the ground, and his own state pastor sat on the ground without any scruples. Zhang Fei saw Zhao Yi walk out, and just wanted to take advantage of this free time to discuss his sister's matter with Zhao Yi, at this time, a state capital detective horse came quickly with a panicked face, and before Zhao Yi got up to ask, he immediately said: "My lord, there are an unknown number of cavalry rushing towards our department!" At this moment, it was less than fifteen miles from the camp. ”

This news made Zhao Yi's strength disappear, and he saw a slight shock on the water surface in the bronze jue, and immediately got up from the ground: "Order the official army camp to be on guard, order General Batu to attack and defeat the opponent's cavalry, and don't let the enemy cavalry get close to the official army camp!" ”

Subsequently, Zhao Yi ordered the official army battalion to be on alert and set up a position to deal with the counterattack of the Qiangqu headquarters in the city. Now Qiangqu already knew that there was cavalry from outside, so this time the Hun soldiers attacked more fiercely than before. Fortunately, Zhao Yi has greatly modified the official and military formation, in addition to the outermost two rows of shield soldiers, Zhao Yi has added a lot of archers to them, these archers don't care about accuracy, as long as they can pull the bow apart, each person has five spears. Use bows and arrows when you are far away, and rain guns when you are close.

At the same time that the four official troops were rapidly forming a formation, the 5,000 soldiers of Batu's department had already rushed out of the official army camp.

Batu followed the sound of the opponent's horses' hooves and rushed over with a scimitar in his hand, and at the same time beckoned the soldiers around him to release the Kong Ming lantern, which rose extremely fast, rising a hundred meters in less than a minute, which was much longer than the fleeting rocket.

Suddenly, Su Bu, who saw the fire leading the attack, waved his hand and reined in the soldiers to stop, shouldn't this signal fire be triggered by me, why did it come from the direction of Quang Ninh County?

At this moment, Subu heard the sound of the horses' hooves hammering the ground from far and near, and before he could ask a question, the horse, who had taken the first step, ran back and reported: "Young leader, there is a large group of cavalry rushing towards our department. We're less than ten miles away! ”

"That's not right!" Su Bu stared deeply at the northeast direction, the cavalry's footpoints came from two directions, and the degree of sound was exactly the same. Could it be that these are two cavalry teams?

As if to confirm Subu's judgment, a panicked Tanma came from the northeast and informed Subu that a large group of cavalry was coming from the northeast to kill us!

Listening to this little sound, each cavalry has at least five thousand in number, and if you fight with ten thousand cavalry in the dark night, you will be at a disadvantage. Xu Bu was very clever to turn his horse's head, wanting to bypass these two groups of cavalry and attack the county town of Guangning to break through the Qiang Canal.

Batu, who was in pursuit, heard the sound of horses' hooves gradually moving west, and immediately understood Subu's intentions, and Subu wanted to bypass himself and attack the county seat of Quang Ninh. Naturally, he would not let Su Bu get his wish, and ordered the soldiers to turn around and chase westward.

"General, there is a large group of cavalry in the rear of our department, and the number is not less than ours!" Tanma told the news behind him, hoping that Batu would be prepared and not be attacked by others.

Batu didn't care and said, "Brothers, don't panic, it's our soldiers led by General Lou Man." ”

When it was close to noon, Zhao Yi sent Lou Man out to let Lou Man lead this cavalry to hide in the shadows, in order to flank the Xubu cavalry. However, this Xu Bu was smarter than Zhao Yi imagined, and he did not rush over directly, but chose to go around in circles.

Subu could only walk to the west, and to the east he just bumped into the other's arms. What made Xu Bu angry was that the two teams of cavalry who circled around him also followed, not behind his buttocks, but on the opposite side, five miles away from him, and the sound of horses' hooves on both sides could be heard clearly.

No matter how hard he tried, Subu couldn't get rid of the dog-like plaster of Batu. Subu is eight miles away from the county seat of Guangning, and Batu is only three miles away from the county seat of Guangning, which is like drawing a big circle and a small circle, and the Subu who draws a large circle is naturally not as easy as Batu who draws a small circle.

After running for half an hour, he was never able to get rid of the official army, and Xu Bu had no choice but to pray in his heart that he had restrained 10,000 cavalry of the official army for his father, and only hoped that Qiangqu could take advantage of this opportunity to rush out.

The Nanlou who observed the city gate stared at the front with flickering eyes, listening to the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, Qiang Qu's eyes flashed and secretly said that it was not good. If this continues, where will Xu Bu be the opponent of Zhao Yi's official army.

"Chief, the young leader can't help the battle outside at this time, can the soldiers of our department break through the encirclement of the officers and soldiers alone?" At this moment, without the help of Su Bu, the general's heart has no bottom.

Qiang Qu looked at the eager soldiers holding wooden guns in the city, his eyes flashed, his eyes became more and more determined, and he opened his bow without looking back, dry!

"With our secret weapon, we still have the strength to fight with the officers and soldiers, as long as our army attacks, we will definitely be able to reduce the pressure on Subu." Qiang Qu stared at the dim void in the distance and said, as long as the official army withdraws one cavalry and fights with another cavalry, the possibility of Xu Bu breaking through is much greater, and it is not too late to reinforce Qiang Qu at that time.

Qiangqu hurried down the city wall and ordered the soldiers to break through, and the rejuvenated Wuhuan soldiers shouted and ran out on horseback.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the feathered arrows of the official army arrived, and the four or five Hun soldiers in front of them fell to the ground and died with several arrows. The Hun soldiers on the city wall, in order to deal with the breakthrough arrows, were also fatally shot, and many people in the official camp immediately fell under the feathers and arrows of the Hun soldiers.

The brutal battle finally began, although the wooden guns in the hands of the Hun soldiers were very lethal, but because the city gate was narrow, they could only rush out more than 100 people at a time, although many officers and soldiers died under this wooden gun, but it did not cause the shock of the dead and wounded.

The battle began to heat up, and the soldiers on both sides fought to the death, and one by one the Hun soldiers and officers fell to the ground, shouting and screaming to the earth.

In less than half an hour of the battle, more than 2,000 officers and troops under Zhao Yi's army were killed, of which the most casualties were the miscellaneous army brought by Liu Bei, and their casualties were already more than half.

The city gate was covered with the corpses of Hun soldiers and horses, and the Hun soldiers who attacked after were simply stepping on the corpses of their own compatriots to fight.

Zhu Jun and Liu Bei, who walked out of the military tent to watch the battle, saw this tragic situation and their eyes widened, especially when they saw that under the impact of the Huns, the shield soldiers in front of them had shaken, and they were all startled, if this line of defense was destroyed, they would face the crazy slaughter of the Hun soldiers.

Qiang Qu, who was watching the battle at the city gate, saw that the shield array that had been bothering him for many days finally shook, and his face was full of joy: "Order the army to attack quickly!" ”
