Chapter 521: Ambush and Counter-Ambush

July 28 of the sixth year of Zhang Wu.

After all, the Han army still failed to stop the Cao army, although it was defeated, but Cao Zhen's strategy of breaking it into pieces did allow him to retain some vitality, and it was more difficult to pursue and kill the rout than the previous attack.

Cao Jun scattered too much, some even fled to Shuofang, that is, the Southern Xiongnu side, plus Zhang He led the Hun cavalry to constantly harass, if the Han army's pursuers were separated from the large team, they would be swallowed by Zhang He, Zhang Fei was also helpless about this, the shortcomings of the Han army's lack of cavalry were undoubtedly exposed in this pursuit battle, but in terms of the general trend, this road from martial arts to Fufeng and then to Fengyi County, the counties along the way were occupied by the Han army, and the entire territory of Jingzhao was constantly occupied by the Han army, and the Han flag was re-erected, and the power of the Wei army was in just half a month. Swift calves.

Of course, it is only to occupy the city, and it will take time to digest the stability of the people's hearts in the future.

Feng Yijun, lotus spoon.

The rapid and dense sound of horses' hooves continued to sound, and a Han army of about 1,000 people was constantly restricted by tens of thousands of Hun cavalry.

"Formation!" Guan Xing stood on top of a raised hill, although there were mountains and rivers around, but with the current marching speed, it was no longer enough to find favorable terrain, and thousands of people quickly formed a circle around Guan Xing, and in the distance, he saw several cavalry quickly surrounding this side.

Although the general trend has an advantage, but Zhang He's cavalry is quite difficult, Guan Xing designed several times, but failed to lure Zhang He, obviously, Zhang He is not comparable to the Hun generals who were previously ambushed by Guan Xing, this time Guan Xing personally led his troops to meet the battle, but was broken up by Zhang He took the opportunity to disperse, only with more than 1,000 elites to flee backwards, but Zhang He saw Guan Xing, and he bit hard.

As the outstanding generals of the second generation of Liu Bei's group, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao's performance in this war was too dazzling, and now that they have the opportunity to besiege Guan Xing, even Zhang He can hardly resist this temptation.

The strength of the second generation of the Han Dynasty exceeded Zhang He's expectations, compared with Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Guang, who have become famous after the second generation, on the side of the Great Wei, only Le Lin and Zhang Hu can take out, Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Ru of the Xiahou family, counting it, it is actually a lot, but the feeling given to Zhang He is not as good as Guan Xing and Zhang Bao.

The Han Dynasty has been ahead of the Great Wei in the cultivation of the next generation of talents, and now it has the land of Guanlong, in the future, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with, and now there is a chance to kill Guan Xing, even if the more than 10,000 Hun cavalry are spelled out, Zhang He will not hesitate.

This is also the reason why after he discovered Guan Xing, he pursued frantically at all costs, and the Wei army had already left, as for the Xiongnu...... If Guanzhong is lost, it is difficult to say whether the Huns will go to Han or Wei next, it is better to exhaust their value, as long as they can capture and kill Guan Xing, the rest, even if these Hun cavalry are dead, it is worth it.

If he could choose, Zhang He would definitely not hesitate to take out another 10,000 or 20,000 Hun cavalry in exchange for Zhang Bao to stay with him.

But this is clearly not realistic.

"Phew!" On the mountain bag, Guan Xing spat out, looked at the Hun cavalry coming towards him, gritted his teeth and scolded: "This old dog, you won't take a fancy to me, right?" ”

Rao is in such a tense atmosphere, the soldiers around him couldn't help laughing, the big man is actually not exclusive to men, but after all, it is a little difficult to take it out, Guan Xing's teasing at the moment also made the tense atmosphere a little easier.

"How many crossbows are there?" Guan Xing jumped off the horse, so as not to be shot by the other party as the primary target, and turned back to ask the adjutant general.

"There are more than 300 left!" The lieutenant bowed.

Because it was scattered by the other party, the distribution of troops was not even, Guan Xing was in the Chinese army, there were many archers and crossbowmen, and there were even more than a dozen sappers, but there were not many swords, shields and spearmen in the front row, and Guan Xing's personal guards were still played.

"Crossbow arrows are enough?" Guan Xing asked.

"Two boxes for men."

Ten crossbow arrows in one box, twenty in two boxes, and six thousand crossbow arrows in three hundred crossbowmen, which sounds like a lot, but in fact, when I use them on the battlefield, these six thousand crossbow arrows can shoot one or two thousand people, which is not bad, not every crossbow arrow can hit the enemy, and not every enemy will only be hit by one arrow.

"Where's the bow and arrow?"

"There are 400 people, but a lot of arrows were used on the way, and now it is estimated that three people can divide two bags of arrows." The lieutenant bowed.

"Enough, put the wolf smoke up first, Zhang Bao, this bastard boy, if he doesn't come again, his brother will have to die here!" Guan Xing thrust the big knife into the ground, took the kettle from the backpack of the war horse, poured it into it, bit a few bites of dried meat fiercely, and said loudly: "Everyone, eat everything you can eat, if the reinforcements arrive in time, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the last meal." ”

"General, our army is well-equipped, so we may not be afraid of them!" One of the minions couldn't help but say loudly.

"Hey, that war horse rushes over, it can kill you if it hits, cavalry is different from infantry, we have too few crossbowmen in our hands, and there are not enough crossbow arrows, otherwise why be afraid of them, hey, Zhang He, this old dog is crazy?" Guan Xing was a little surprised when he saw that the other party had begun to assemble and prepare to rush into battle.

There are crossbowmen here on his side, Zhang He dares to rush like this, I'm afraid he is not dizzy? Do you want to send these cavalrymen to their deaths?

However, it seems that the life or death of these Hun cavalry has little to do with the Wei Dynasty.

"The old dog is vicious!" Thinking about this, Guan Xing smiled, what do you think, can you still take advantage of it?

The Hun cavalry gathered from three directions and rushed to this side, leaving one side, which was also used to disintegrate morale, but the Han army is now victorious one after another, and has played an invincible division's momentum, and these people around Guan Xing are the elite of the elite, and the current predicament will not make them completely lose their fighting spirit.

The archers' arrows shoot out, although there are many people, but they are not as effective as crossbowmen, and the scale of four hundred people is difficult to form any arrow rain, not to mention that it is divided into three parties, and each side is only more than a hundred arrows shot out, just visually, it is difficult to give people too much feeling.

But the damage was real, and there was a slight commotion in the cavalry formation of the Hun cavalry, which was caused by someone being shot and blocking the way of the cavalry in the rear.

At such a distance, after the cavalry entered the firing range, the archers could only have time to shoot two rounds, of course, this was in the case of only archers, but Guan Xing still had three hundred crossbowmen waiting for the other party, and the crossbow machine in his hand was also ten rounds.

After the other party entered the firing range, Guan Xing did not hesitate to order the arrows to be released, and the continuous crossbow arrows were shot out to form a short arrow curtain, and the momentum of the cavalry formation was also like Guan Xing's previous blocking of the Hun cavalry, which instantly slowed down the momentum of the Hun cavalry by several grades, giving the archers more opportunities to shoot arrows.

A crossbow box down, the Hun cavalry has begun to turn around and retreat, the casualties at this moment, it feels like there is a fault, Zhang He also timely Mingjin, let the Hun cavalry withdraw, and then reorganize the attack.

In just such a short period of effort, the Hun cavalry dropped at least thousands of corpses, in fact, if Zhang He fought well, the casualties would not be so heavy, but Zhang He obviously wanted to consume the crossbow arrows on Guan Xing's side as soon as possible, and he succeeded.

Looking at the crossbowman who quickly filled the crossbow box, Guan Xing guessed Zhang He's intentions, but he was helpless, and made it clear that he would bully more and less, and Zhang He obviously didn't take the lives of these Hun cavalrymen seriously, which was a bit of a scoundrel.

After the second round of charges, next, you have to play with knives, Guan Xing's side is dominated by crossbowmen, and even if there is an advantage in real melee equipment, it will still suffer.

Zhang He's second round of charge did not make Guan Xing wait for a long time, and rushed towards this side again, and another crossbow arrow blocked it, crushing it.

"How many bows and arrows are there!?" Guan Xing looked at the lieutenant general beside him.

"Two in one bag!"

"Tear down all the repeaters, the archers have two arrows each, quickly destroy the bow after shooting, and prepare for melee combat!" Guan Xingdao, during this battle, he found that Cao Jun was collecting and snatching the weapons of the Han army, what is the purpose, needless to say, he can't let these people succeed.

The wolf smoke made Guan Xing's eyes a little uncomfortable, a little farther away, and looked at the Huns, this time, Zhang He wanted to charge again, obviously there was some resistance, the Huns were not fools, they filled in their lives in vain, Zhang He persuaded them to waste a lot of effort, but they still started the third round of charge, but the speed was obviously not as good as the first two times.

"Shoot the arrows!"

When the arrow cluster was fired, although the threat was not great, it still felt that the opponent's speed was a little slower, and at this speed, I am afraid that it would be no problem to shoot three more arrows, but the order has been given, and it is impossible to change it again.

Guan Xing turned over his horse and was ready to charge, there was no way to escape at this time, and the Huns' riding and archery skills were not weak.

The sound of the horn of the Han army sounded in the distance, and Guan Xing's face was happy, but the distance was a little far, and it was not up to him to say whether he could hold it, but after this battle, this Hun army was completely finished.

Two arrows were shot, the archers had begun to destroy the bow, and two Han soldiers and horses were suddenly killed on both sides, Guan Xing was overjoyed when he saw this, it was Zhang Bao and Zhao Guang's army, their original plan was to lure Zhang He into an ambush, and then besiege and kill, but Guan Xing, who was responsible for luring the enemy, was careless, and turned the deception into a real defeat, so there is this scene now.

At the moment, I don't care why the horn is so far, but Zhang Bao and Zhao Guang have already killed, Guan Xing rode out of the battle, and shouted: "Soldiers, kill with me!" ”

More than 1,000 Han troops raised their weapons one after another and killed the Hun cavalry who were obviously confused by the Han army on both sides, but compared to this, Guan Xing's target was not on these Hun cavalry.

Zhang He obviously didn't expect this scene, he turned the horse and left, where could Guan Xing let him go, rode his horse and raised his knife, and shouted: "Hugh left Zhang He!" ”

The army has its own deputy general to lead, but Guan Xing is chasing after Zhang He.

On that side, Zhao Guang and Zhang Bao obviously also saw Zhang He and chased Zhang He from both sides.
