Chapter 19: Carrying a Long Sword and Holding a Qin Bow (No Debts)
Gongsun Xun, as the commander, showed the banner and honor guard, and personally crossed the Hutuo River, which made the Han army rise up almost instantly, and almost instantly shook the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army on the left and right sides hesitated, and many small marshals even withdrew their troops without authorization, leading them to deploy to save the Chinese army, while the Han army, which was already extremely exhausted on the other side of the river, generally regained morale and launched a surprise attack on the Central Army of the Yellow Turban Army.
At the same time, on the north bank of the river, Lou Gui and others could not persuade them hard, so they could only quickly launch the flag and pass the news, so that the downstream cavalry could start quickly and immediately participate in the battle.
"Liaoxi White Horse, live up to the world, the facial features of Zhonglang will not be wasted!"
Seeing that the surrounding soldiers were swarming towards the Chinese army in the east without urging themselves, Guo Dian sighed, but despite the fact that he had been fighting for half a day and was old, he actually got up again with the ring-headed knife that was already full of gaps, and loudly forced the whole army forward.
The situation in the east was exactly the same, the Yellow Turban Army immediately wavered, and the Han Army counterattacked almost instantly.
However, unlike Guo Dian, Zhang Chun, the supreme governor here, stared at the white horse flag on the river in a daze, but he lost his mind for a moment...... In all fairness, Gongsun Xun's move is really beyond Zhang Chun's imagination, in the eyes of this Zhongshan Taishou, it is just that he has to be desperately forced to a desperate situation like him, but it is a little chilling to be so domineering and domineering as the other party is still in control of the overall situation.
"Fujun!"
Just when Zhang Chun was staring at the white horse flag in the river from afar, someone next to him suddenly dragged him down from the dumped earth barrier, but it was Xu Zhan. "Fujun, this is not the time to be in a daze! The most elite thousand-man unit under Captain Cheng has already come up, so we have to move with the Yuyang soldiers as soon as possible! β
Zhang Chun came back to his senses, followed the other party's gesture pointing to the north, and woke up...... Cheng Pu is Gongsun Xun's personal person, and this Gao Shun, who leads a thousand extremely elite and state soldiers, heard that he is the henchman who will be promoted from a subordinate in the middle of the five features, if he falls into their military formation in the chaotic battle, I am afraid that he will be directly chopped into meat paste, and then end up with no one alive or dead.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Chun didn't dare to delay, he directly picked up the knife, took Xu Zhan beside him, and moved forward bravely with the Yuyang county guards who had already launched an assault.
In the military department of the Yellow Turban Army, on the dirt mountain, Zhang Bao, the general of the Digong, watched Gongsun Xun lead his headquarters to board a boat and cross the river, and then until the other party calmly went ashore, his hands and feet were cold, and his brain was blank.
"What should I do?" Zhang Bao reluctantly sat back, and then forced the town to ask the people around him.
"I have a lot of soldiers, so don't panic." Someone hurriedly comforted him, this was one of Zhang Bao's confidants.
"Doctor, in my opinion, the commander of the Han army not only does not need to panic when he moves like this, but is a fighter!" Someone with red ears and red ears gritted his teeth and said, this is the Qu Shuai of Taiping Dao in Hejian Country. "He killed more than 100,000 of my Taiping Dao colleagues, and since the other party dared to come at this time, he should send the Chinese army and leave him here!"
Zhang Baodeng was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize that this was a natural choice.
However, someone immediately refuted it, this is a deputy marshal who was a veteran of a border county: "General, don't move at this time, since this white horse general is here in person, he must be a little arrogant...... Have you forgotten what we guessed about the cavalry of the official army before? Now there is no need to guess, the official cavalry will definitely arrive soon! β
"How's that to be?" This old soldier has a lot of military prestige, so the panic around him is even worse.
"It doesn't have to be how, and it can't be how!" The old lieutenant stomped his feet and spoke. "A large force of cavalry is coming, the most important thing is to keep the formation, it can't be chaotic! I also ask the general of the earth to give a quick order to pacify the troops on both wings, and then only transfer small troops from the periphery of the headquarters to resist the enemy in front of us! β
Zhang Bao has exercised a lot, although he is half afraid and half eager to try, but after all, he understands the battle formation or this old soldier's words are the most reliable.
And just as he was about to grit his teeth and do so, suddenly, a crossbow bolt that was obviously shot crooked floated far from under the dirt mountain in front of him, and was slanted into the south side of the earth mountain platform not far below...... It is said that it is not far, but in fact, it is still dozens of steps away from the Yellow Sky Banner where everyone is.
But in such a situation, the high-level leaders of the Yellow Turban Army on the mountain were shocked, but Zhang Bao swallowed the words in his mouth, even the old soldier did not dare to say more...... It turned out that when the military department of the Yellow Turban Army was in turmoil for a while, the Hejian soldiers who had landed before actually took the opportunity to rush up regardless of life and death!
The shield soldiers dispersed automatically, bending under the spears, and then the spears and halberds came forward in a dense forest, and the hundreds of crossbow-wielding men behind them not only continued to throw shots, but some even snatched the lost waist crossbows of the Yellow Turban Army from the position...... The waist crossbow seven stones to start, it needs to be operated with all the strength of the hands and feet to lie on the ground and fire, and the crossbow bolt just now is afraid that it comes from here.
"Hurry up!" Seeing that Zhang Bao and the old man were silent, the people around him immediately ignored it. "Bring the shield here to protect the lord!"
"Let the Chinese army go to war and take down the commander of the Han army! If it can be successful, this battle will be a great victory for our army! Huang Tian can still stand! β
"Let the two wings converge in the middle!"
The deputy marshal who was born as an old pawn glanced at Zhang Bao, who was sitting there and kept his mouth shut, and stopped talking, but finally gave up persuasion.
After all, if the general is in such a posture, he is either in a mess and doesn't know what to do, so it's useless; Either they are worried about the enemy in front of them, so they acquiesce in these arrangements of the people around them...... In this way, it is useless to say.
In fact, even the deputy marshal with rich military experience himself was shocked by the momentum of the Han army in front of him, because in the short time of the order, the Han army in front of him continued to resist the dense Yellow Turban soldiers, and actually advanced dozens of steps!
Moreover, the situation of the battle is changing rapidly, and the sound of orders behind Tushan continues, and tens of thousands of Chinese troops who still don't know anything about the situation are at a loss for a while, and they are in a trance ready to leave. In front of Tushan, on the bank of the Hutuo River, as soon as the white-horse cavalry who successfully landed on the shore gained a foothold, they did not protect the mighty general who re-mounted his horse and stood under the umbrella, but immediately came forward to help the more than 1,000 pioneers in front of him under the leadership of a sturdy warrior!
Looking down from Tushan, I saw hundreds of white-horse cavalry divided into dozens of squads, and almost instantly poured out from the two wings of the pikemen, they borrowed the mobility and height advantage of horses, and kept killing and intimidating in the gaps between the Yellow Turban Army on both sides, forcing the Yellow Turban Army to be unable to form flank pressure on the Han Army's spear halberd in front of the middle......
After all, the veterans who had been on an expedition to Liangzhou had rich military experience, so they understood the idea of the white horse army on the opposite side almost instantlyβit was not that they didn't want to protect their own white horse general, but that if they could push the battle line forward, it would make the general under the umbrella safer.
As soon as he thought of this, the deputy marshal who was born as an old pawn couldn't help but glance at the general next to him, only to see that the latter's lips were blue and he couldn't sit still, comparing it with the person who took the initiative to move forward with more than 1,000 soldiers against 30,000 troops under the umbrella on the opposite side, which was really emotional!
At the same time, Zhang Jaw, who was more than 100 steps away from the dirt mountain, also understood the meaning of this white horse almost immediately. However, he didn't have the heart to compare the commanders of the two sides, on the battlefield, Zhang Junyi would only cherish the reinforcements that this unit gave to his weakest two wings, and then seize the fighter forward, forward, and forward!
A spear was thrown far away, and when it came to it, it was already weak, and it opened its jaw to dodge, but then released the ring knife stuck in the ribs of the enemy soldier in his hand, and instead picked up the spear and rushed forward, and then stabbed one man to death on the spot...... Probably because he was stabbed in the heart or blood vessels, he pulled out the spear, and the blood on the corpse poured out, and a blood splashed five feet, completely covering Zhang Junyi's originally delicate and elegant face. However, he just wiped his face, gritted his teeth, and continued to urge the halberd array beside him to move forward.
He was so brave that he immediately frightened several yellow turban soldiers in front of him and dispersed in panic.
In other words, the spear and halberd charge in formation, and the cavalry is blocked left and right, which is undoubtedly an extremely excellent local tactic in a narrow and small area of the battlefield, and the effect is really outstanding. But when the Yellow Turban Army in front of the ferry was pushed all the way to the bottom of the mountain, they were severely reprimanded by the mountain, and even the Governor team shot down with bows, forcing the soldiers in front of the battle to turn back to deal with the Han army.
Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army, which had already become a rout and retreat, formed a chaotic but solid human defense line in front of Tushan, and the Han army's attack was temporarily blocked.
Gongsun Xun saw such a situation on the riverbank, and he frowned slightly, because from his position, his vision was broader, so he had already noticed that there was a lot of smoke and dust behind the artificial earth mountain, as if Zhang Bao had made up his mind to let the Chinese army eat himself.
That's a good thing!
You must know that Gongsun Xun's choice to send troops at this time was not a reckless move, but he observed the battle situation for most of the day, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and caught a wonderful fighter that even he was a little proud of.
Because, the cavalry is coming!
Gongsun Yue's steadiness, Guan Yu and Ju's outstanding grasp of the battle situation, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Cheng Lian, Zhao Zhao, Chu Yan, Yang Kai and others composed of luxurious attack lineups, as well as the healthy horses of the West Park Corridor, the equipment of the Luoyang arsenal, and the knights of Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Hanoi...... It can be said that the more than 10,000 cavalry troops that have not yet appeared on the battlefield at this time are the most powerful mobile troops in the entire Hebei land at this time!
In fact, not only Gongsun Xun, but also people of insight from all over the army, no one would doubt that this cavalry unit that was about to arrive would directly change the outcome of the battle!
Therefore, Gongsun Xun crossed the river in person this time, which seemed to be risky, but in fact he was very confident. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that Lu Fan, Dong Zhao, Lou Gui, and Xi Zhong would rather hug his thigh than let him cross the river.
At this time, since the Chinese army of the Yellow Turban Army has been successfully dispatched, when the cavalry of the Han army roars and can be inserted behind the opponent's Chinese army in time, this time Zhang Bao's whole army will not die and will have to shed its skin.
Therefore, the reason why Gongsun Xun is still frowning is not that he is worried about the battle situation, he is just pity the situation in front of him...... Because the open jaw is so beautiful.
This Zhang Junyi is worthy of being one of the five good generals, and he was actually killed in front of Tushan by him in such a battle...... If this can go forward dozens of steps, seize the soil and mountain in one go, and force Zhang Bao to leave in a panic, I am afraid that after the cavalry arrives, he can be slaughtered recklessly!
When the time comes, the 100,000 army that can escape back to the city will depend on the will of heaven!
But back to the present, the current situation is that the large army of the Yellow Turban Army behind the mountain is about to surround it, but Wang Meng, Zhang Jaw and their Hejian spear and halberd are already in decline!
Gongsun Xun shook his head...... He wanted to end the assault here, but suddenly, he turned his head and looked, only to find that the ground was full of corpses and stumps of the Han army and the Yellow Turban army, the river beach was stained with blood, almost red, and the wounded on both sides were constantly wailing and crying!
It's not the first time I've seen this kind of scene, but Gongsun Xun looked back at the river behind him that was constantly soaked in blood, but suddenly had an inexplicable thought - that is, someone has to do things in this world!
As soon as he thought of this, the ghost made the god worse, and Gongsun Xun, who was already about to give up, was not in a hurry, but suddenly reined in his horse and moved forward!
The wrestlers and guards holding umbrella covers, scepters, and flags next to them panicked and could only hurry to follow.
"Call me out!" Gongsun Xun drew his knife in his hand, and commanded without looking back. "The five senses will take fifty steps forward!"
The surrounding chatting about more than a dozen soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "The five senses Zhonglang will take fifty steps forward!" β
Immediately, the scattered crossbowmen who fell behind the spear array heard the sound and looked back, and when they saw this, they were shocked and involuntarily moved forward, and then they actually shouted: "The middle man of the five senses will take fifty steps forward!" β
At this moment, the two wings of Bai Ma Yicong, including Han Dang, were shocked, and the soldiers in front of him also involuntarily became nervous again with the shouting, and the two sides gritted their teeth again, withstood the casualties, and tried to move forward.
"The facial features will be a hundred steps forward!" Gongsun Xun continued to move forward, but suddenly changed his words.
The surrounding guards and the crossbowmen of the river who had already gathered around Gongsun Xun continued to follow closely behind, and at the same time, they also spoke loudly...... On the battlefield, there was chaos, but the white horse on both wings and the spear and halberd soldiers in front of them heard this, and almost instinctively regained their strength, and fought hard to move forward, in order to continue to advance the battle line.
Zhang Bao was condescending, and he had already seen Gongsun Xun's gradually clear figure and face from a distance, but he just opened his mouth repeatedly and didn't know what to say.
At the foot of the mountain, both sides were already on the verge of collapse, but it was almost an instantaneous effort, because the main general of the Han army stepped forward in person, but the front line of the Han army once again raised morale and restarted the offensive. Correspondingly, the Yellow Turban Army under the dirt mountain faced the gun halberd army formation that had been made out of formation by corpses and chaotic battles, but it could no longer support it, and actually broke up left and right directly!
Seeing this, the mountain opened his jaw and was overjoyed, and immediately urged the Han army to climb the earth mountain.
Zhang Bao on the mountain was trembling and almost fled.
However, at this moment, the deputy marshal who was born as an old pawn suddenly took half a step forward, pressed Zhang Bao's shoulder with one hand, and waved the other hand again and again, urging Zhang Bao's personal guards to step forward, condescendingly, and shoot the people under the mountain with a bow!
Dozens of Hejian spearmen who were inspired by their exploits swarmed forward under the leadership of the fake Sima Wang Meng, but they were knocked to the ground by a volley!
You must know that Zhang Jaw is a strong man who joined the army after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, speaking of which Wang Meng is his benefactor, seeing such a situation, Zhang Junyi ignored it, and actually grabbed an iron shield and went up, and dragged Wang Meng, who was hit by an arrow in the leg, down.
However, before he could catch his breath, a burst of crossbow arrows was thrown from behind him on the dirt mountain, and then, Zhang Jaw heard the shouting behind him: "The five senses Zhonglang will have taken two hundred steps forward!" β
The voice was in the back of his head, the thief was in front of him, the villager was on his side, he only felt the hot blood on his head, so he gritted his teeth, grabbed a ring knife from his side and inserted it into his waist, and then picked up a broken spear from the ground, then raised a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and charged towards the earth mountain again!
Taking advantage of the cover of the crossbow arrows behind him, his people took more than ten steps, but he immediately heard the shouts of the disciples in the river behind him, and he knew that the opponent's arrows had arrived, so he quickly stopped and stood up the shield.
Arrows rained down, the shield clanked, and Zhang Jaw immediately felt a slight numbness somewhere in the arm of the big shield...... Zhang Junyi, who had been in the army for several months and fought several battles, knew in his heart that an arrow had pierced the shield and injured the arm that was lifting the shield.
However, Zhang Jaw didn't have time to think about it, so he turned back to his robe under the big shield and shouted: "The earth mountain is twenty feet high, if I can go up another fifty steps, call me to stop!" β
The soldiers under the mountain were either hiding under shields, or struggling to shake the shafts of their spears to block the arrows, and some of them fell to the ground and wailed when they were hit by arrows, and I don't know if anyone could hear the words of the open jaws.
Further back, next to the range of the arrows, Gongsun Xun was expressionless, and he was just urging the crossbowmen of the surrounding Han army to reload quickly. And after a while, the Han army's crossbow arrows were fired, and the jaw knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately raised the shield again to climb the mountain!
In such a situation, who knows how high he has climbed, but suddenly, he heard the shouts behind him, so he gritted his teeth and turned the big shield, ignoring the Yellow Turban Army in front of him who was raising his bow in a panic, he aimed the short spear in his hand at the banner of the Yellow Sky, and a figure that was already clearly visible in his sight threw it out.
After doing this action, Zhang Junyi didn't look at his results, so he bowed down and stood up and hid behind the shield.
As the Yellow Turban Army shot a messy and loose arrow, dozens of steps away, Zhang Bao under the banner of Huang Tianda was dumbfounded, watching the short spear pass through the abdomen of the elderly deputy marshal who had just commanded Ruoding, and he didn't know what to do at all.
"Withdraw your troops!" The deputy marshal who was born as an old pawn was nailed to the ground, holding the spear shaft in his abdomen with both hands, his expression was distorted, as if he was in extreme pain, and when he saw Zhang Bao get up, he only gritted his teeth and said a few short sentences that were extremely fragmented. "Leave me alone, kill me...... Huang Tian...... Let's go, the cavalry hasn't ...... yet Generals, the whole army...... With the flag ............"
The words were intermittent, and he could only barely convey some meaning, but before Zhang Bao could react, this former veteran of the Han Army, and today's deputy marshal of the Yellow Turban Army, has completely lost the ability to speak.
Seeing that the other party was in such pain, Zhang Bao burst into tears, and immediately signaled left and right, and naturally there were people around who gritted their teeth and cut off the old pawn's head with a knife, so that the other party could be freed.
Zhang Baoyou wanted to take the other party's head, but he was already bold, and thinking of the other party's words and the Han soldiers who came up again under him, he ignored it, and directly let people roll up his Digong general's banner and flee behind him!
Zhang Jaw lost all his strength, and he didn't know what was going on above, but he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the remnants of the Han soldiers under the mountain cheering for a while, and then the whole army surrounded the umbrella cover of the five senses Zhonglang General and moved forward again.
The Han army swarmed up and seized Tushan, and the Yellow Sky Banner, which Zhang Bao didn't have time to take away, was pushed by the trend!
As soon as the banner fell, the two wings of the Yellow Turban Army, which I didn't know what the situation was in the distance, collapsed almost instantly, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in the open space south of Tushan and north of Quyang City was completely at a loss at this time!
Things happened too quickly, it was only a little more than a quarter of an hour from the successful crossing of the river by the soldiers of Hejian, although they could see with their own eyes that Zhang Bao was unharmed, and they could also see that Zhang Bao's Digong General Banner was still there...... But just now they were ordered to spare the mountains and move forward, but at this time, they saw Zhang Bao leading the middle and high-level of the army to retreat in embarrassment, and then there was an order to let them enter the city?
In an instant, although the 30,000 elites of the Yellow Turban Army, who had not been engaged in the battle at all, showed no signs of collapse and no casualties, they inevitably caused confusion in scheduling, and the formation of the army was even more scattered for a while, and it was impossible to respond neatly and effectively.
However, at this critical moment, the surface rumbled, and Gongsun Xun, who personally dismounted and helped his jaw to go up to the earth mountain, glanced to the east side, and sure enough, he saw a cloud of smoke and dust billowing out, like a dragon and a horse, and he actually rushed to the edge of the battlefield on the east side in an instant.
The Han cavalry has arrived! And they came!
The appetite of the Han cavalry was greater than imagined, and when they came to the front of the formation, they were able to clear the opponent's position in front of them, only to see that the 10,000 cavalry was actually divided into three, and all the way was to judge and lead 5,000 cavalry, with Zhang Fei as the arrow, as the rear army, and drove along the river; On the other hand, Guan Yu actually led 4,000 horsemen, with himself as the forward, with Cheng Lian as the rearguard, and drove along the city; Gongsun Yue led the remaining 2,000 cavalry to line up from the rear, but there was nothing to say......
This formation does not take into account Gongsun Yue's bottom, in fact, it is like two long swords coming out left and right, wrapping the entire Yellow Turban Army into the formation...... In all fairness, with the number of the Yellow Turban Army, it is a bit greedy and can't chew it out.
But in the current situation, you can fight as much as you want!
Before Zhang Bao could retreat to the front of the city, he saw the smoke and dust billowing along the city wall, and he didn't understand that it was the cavalry of the Han army who came to the city? He shouted reluctantly, trying to dispatch the main force of the Chinese army, which had not suffered any losses at all, to meet the enemy, but found that the Chinese army had already been in chaos because of its retreat, and could not listen to orders at all.
In desperation, he was already frightened, and he could only be escorted by his personal guards to take the lead to the west, in order to enter the city from the west. In the chaos, his banner of the general was also lost on the battlefield.
At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army completely collapsed, and as the cavalry of the Han Army came all the way from east to west, the 100,000 troops were defeated like a mountain!
On the north bank of the river, Changshan Xiang Feng Xin had already seen his hands and dances, and his words became ridiculous...... If you think about it, you can understand that he is a scribe, he is famous for reciting poems and carving monuments, but how have you ever seen such a situation?
Fortunately, it is not him who is in charge here, after Lou Zibo passed the flag and received the reply, he immediately reported to Lu Fan, and Lu Ziheng immediately made a decision, all the people wearing iron armor in the whole army were unarmoured, and those with long soldiers and big shields were also abandoned, only wearing armor, with bows and crossbows and ring-headed knives.
When the smoke and dust of the cavalry rolled up, Lu Fan did not hesitate, and ordered the boats to line up in front and back, while hastily building a pontoon bridge, and on the other hand, let the people of the whole army immediately help the boats to swim in front of them!
At this time, how many troops can support the other side!
And just when Lu Fan finished giving the order and stood on the riverbank with his hands folded and looked at the dirt mountain opposite, a Humpty Dumpty man suddenly came to his side:
"Brother Ziheng, our prince, the heroic spirit on his body is really unbearable!"
"What do you mean?" On the other side, shouting to kill Zhentian, and swimming on his side in a hurry, Lu Fan took the opportunity to put his hands together and asked.
"Nothing else." Dong Zhao sighed. "It's just that I suddenly understood why King Xiang couldn't be virtuous and couldn't use tactics, but he was able to run rampant in the world and destroy the tyrannical Qin...... This kind of heroism, who will not be convinced when they see it? How much more about scholars like you and me? β
"That's not a good thing." Lu Fan sneered. "Is Dong Sima complaining about the marquis's plagiarism and taking risks? Or do you think he doesn't listen to you and is in the limelight? β
"It's not resentment, it's really because of the momentum of the prince, and my heart is shaken. But as Brother Ziheng said, the prince is so heroic, but he didn't listen to me after all, I still feel a little sorry in my heart. Dong Zhao said helplessly. There is no problem in crossing the river, the cavalry will come as soon as they say, and they can be regarded as confident, but why do they have to attack the dirt mountain? In such a situation, Zhang Bao is immortal, and Xia Quyang is also dead in name...... In the world, those who dare to be the first in the world must bear the weight of the world. Jun Hou clearly promised me before that he wanted to hide merit and virtue, how could he temporarily change his hexagram? β
"I can probably guess something...... Wen Qi's thoughts. Lu Fan bowed his head and said solemnly. Wen Qi is arrogant and compassionate, I am afraid that since the beginning of the chaos, seeing that the battle situation is tragic and the people are not living, he has already had an unbearable intention in his heart, and this battle was fought so happily by chance, so he gritted his teeth and did it. Gongren is a clear heart, and understands the situation, I'm curious, what do you think...... Wen Qi is the benevolence of the king's wife, or is it the place where Gaozu Guanzhong wins the hearts of the people? β
Dong Zhao pursed his lips for a while.
"You want me to say." At this moment, Lou Gui suddenly came from behind with Xi Zhong. "If there is the success of the ancestors, it is the virtue of winning the hearts of the people, and if there is the defeat of the king, it is the benevolence of the woman...... Just like my previous five wins and five defeats, if I lost this battle, it would be a big joke, but now I have won a big victory, which is a wise saying, and it will be passed down through the ages in the future! β
Dong Zhao and Lu Fan looked back at Lou Zibo in unison.
"Uncle Zi said it well." Xi Zhicai couldn't help but look at Nan'an and said. "I used to live in Yingchuan, and I often thought that if I could get a master, with the achievements and generosity of Gaozu, and the majesty and benevolence of King Xiang, it would be in vain! What did Dong Sima and Ziheng say just now, King Xiang and Gaozu...... In my opinion, this is not a good comparison! Does King Xiang have such a prince to win people? If King Xiang can win people, will he have the merit of Gaozu? And does Gaozu have the majesty of a prince? If Gaozu is good at fighting like this, An Youxiang King will divide the world? Therefore, the prince is the prince, and the future situation will inevitably be different from the ancient times, for you and me, as long as the prince treats us with sincerity, kindness, and virtue, then we will do our best to drive it! Why think about the past and the present here? β
Dong Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then respectfully saluted Xi Zhong: "What Brother Zhicai said is extremely true, Zhao has been taught." β
Xi Zhicai glanced at the other party, and couldn't help but smile, but he didn't say anything more.
Immediately, the four of them put away their thoughts, and like Feng Xin, who was dancing in the distance, they watched the battle from afar.
The remnant sun is like blood, the Han army is continuous, and there are 100,000 Yellow Turban troops before the Xiaquyang War...... Fortunately, Zhang Bao had left 10,000 in the city to respond, and more than 10,000 people who fled back in haste, the city barely stabilized the situation with more than 20,000 remnants of soldiers, so as not to be entered by the Han army. But as the sun sank in the west, everyone knew that with the Han army having a large number of cavalry, it was impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to continue to gather troops.
In other words, in this battle, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and almost completely annihilated.
As soon as Zhang Baofu, who was hoisted up with a rope from Xicheng, landed, he knelt down on the tall city wall of Xiaquyang, and then condescended, looking at the tragic situation outside the city in a daze.
He watched in the distance as a large number of Yellow Turbans were slaughtered or driven to the river to drown, and then some surrendered; I also saw that in front of the nearby gate, some people scrambled to enter, so that they kept trampling and blocked the city gate, and the Han army who later crossed the river cleaned the battlefield angrily, while helping the wounded Han soldiers, and carrying the wounded Yellow Turban soldiers to the city wall to let them wail continuously...... For a while, the general of the earth was sad, but he had no tears to shed!
Up to now, where does Zhang Bao still not understand that he was made by the other party's black tiger's heart-wrenching trick and lost everything? Why didn't he understand that the 70,000 or 80,000 Yellow Turban troops outside the city, whether they were killed or wounded, surrendered or fled, all had to be remembered on their own incompetence?
It's not that the army can't fight, but how far is it to the white horse general opposite?
One general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies!
If Huang Tian is defeated, he also has his own 'credit'!
However, the situation has collapsed to this point, with so many dead and wounded, and the situation is so tragic, Zhang Bao can only be numb. In fact, although there were many people around him today, only the distorted face of the elderly deputy marshal before his death flashed in front of his eyes from time to time...... This is the person he can't live the most, knowing that this person is reliable, knowing that this person is capable, but he can't use it!
"Lord!" A henchman who narrowly escaped with his life held a water bladder with a little wine and handed it over tremblingly. "And moisten your throat...... Our army still has two ...... There are more than 30,000 troops, and the city of Xiaquyang is strong, and it can completely rely on the city to wait for help! Wait, wait for General Tiangong ......"
Halfway through his stammering words, Zhang Bao suddenly threw the empty wine bag that had been drunk in two sips to the ground, and then his eyes were red and tears flowed.
The people around him were just about to kneel down and plead guilty, but he suddenly got up again, and walked behind him tremblingly: "My heart is in turmoil, wait and take care of the situation in the city for me." β
Everyone didn't dare to say much, and the henchman also hurriedly got up and stepped forward to support the other party, and carefully walked towards the high platform where Zhang Bao lived in the city.
A few miles away by the river, a place full of defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Fei's eyes widened angrily, and he led the troops to gallop with a spear, but unexpectedly, the leader immediately led the crowd to abandon their weapons and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy!
Zhang Fei didn't like to be angry, but he had no choice but to roar, and then simply tore off the armor on his body, revealing a white chest with a circle of black hair, and led a group of cavalry to go elsewhere.
Zhang Chun, the Taishou of Zhongshan not far away, shook his head for a while when he saw this: "Since Zhang Bao fled into the city, the first merit must be the fake song between the rivers, no wonder these arrogant soldiers are so impatient...... However, after all, it is an army of 100,000, and how can the cavalry do its best no matter how profitable it is? β
"It's getting dark!" Xu Zhan suddenly squinted and said. "Next, our army can only watch the other party's city gate, but it is difficult to do anything again, I think Guo Taishou, Feng Guoxiang, and the two captains, as well as the people in the army who have been on the stage, will go to the mountain at this time."
Zhang Chun heard that the other party's words were different, and he couldn't help but feel a little abrupt in his heart: "Xu Jun means ......"
"They can go, but we can't." Xu Zhan gritted his teeth and said. "Fu Jun, think about it, it's dark, and there are many henchmen on the road, let's fight hard for a day and get tired, in case we meet the kind of character just now along the way, jumped by a spear, and threw it into the pile of corpses, how can we ......?"
"I know." Zhang Chun immediately agreed. "Now that the war is over, it means that the open guns have been dodged, and the hidden arrows must be guarded against. In fact, with the majesty of Sun Xun, I am afraid that no one in the army is unconvinced. So not only on the way there, but also at the Tushan to see each other, when I rested at night, he was unexplained, I'm afraid no one spoke for me! β
"What the prince said is very true, so Henan can't stay!" Xu Zhan hurriedly said again. "At least not tonight...... We didn't take the makeshift pontoon bridge, we found a ferry at random, and then hurriedly took advantage of the twilight to find a place with few people to cross the river to the north, and stayed in Daying, Hebei tonight...... What do you think? β
"Good!" Zhang Chun thought for a moment and simply responded. "And you can't remove your armor if you don't go to the north camp, in case of hidden arrows...... I also have to use the Yuyang soldiers who are fighting together today to escort them along the way, they are from our country, and the only credible troops in the army at this time are their generation. β
The two discussed and decided, so they immediately supported each other, and then found a Yuyang officer who had been deliberately wooed in the past few days, and asked him to lead a few people to accompany the guards, and then deliberately turned back to the east to secretly look for the ferry.
Not to mention that Zhang Chun and Xu Zhan deliberately wanted to avoid today's incomparable Gongsun Xun, but said that on the other side, as the sun gradually sank in the west, the generals in the army gathered at the Tushan where Zhang Bao was originally located to visit the generals of the five senses.
And the first two thousand stones to arrive were actually Julu Taishou Guo Dian, who was originally forced to cross on the west side.
Although Guo Junye was also very convinced of Gongsun Xun's performance, he still seemed a little out of place, and after a little greeting, he asked Gongsun Xun in public about his next move.
"What else can we do now?" Gongsun Xun shook his head and said. "It is time to besiege the city, to set up fortifications, to build mountains of earth, to make instruments, and perhaps to dig holes in the ground and lure the defenders down...... In short, sweep all sides, encircle three and lack one, and wait for the morale of the enemies in the city to be demoralized, and then go down with a drum! β
Guo Dian had nothing to say, so he asked again: "After this defeat, the morale in the city is low and panicked, and our army has cavalry, and it is the right way to encircle three and lack one, but how to assign the generals in the army, and ask the general of the five senses to make it clear." β
"It's easy, too." Gongsun Xun hurriedly dispatched. "Guo Jun was already in the west, so he led 10,000 soldiers to set up a base in the west to enclose it, and then Captain Zong led 10,000 soldiers to set up a base in the east, and I led the main force of the army to set up a camp in the north of the city!"
Guo Dian frowned slightly when he heard this, and wanted to ask something more, but seeing that most of the people around him were happy, and he also knew that he was staring at it so much, and this big victory was rare after all, so he gave up, and turned to relax and rest.
However, some people didn't let him rest at all, just when Guo Taishou untied his armor and tried to drink water and eat on the dirt mountain, on the side of the too simple pontoon bridge on the Hutuo River in the north, suddenly a boat carrying Feng Guoxiang, Lu Fan, and Dong Zhao came here...... And as soon as Feng Xin and Feng Guoxiangfu came to the shore, they didn't look at the countless corpses on the ground, let alone the hard work of countless soldiers around, so they shouted and came to the dirt mountain.
After all, his person is a 2,000 stone, before Guo Dian disliked people and did not send troops, but now he has also sent troops, and he has not dragged his feet, the most important thing is that he won this battle, and he is not easy to refute the other party, so he got up with Zong Yuan, the captain of Huwuhuan, who was already here.
"General Zhonglang with five senses, General White Horse!" Feng Xin came to the bottom of the dirt mountain and shouted while climbing. "I just watched the battle in Hebei and made a poem for you...... It's the masterpiece of my life, and you must ...... Ahem...... You should definitely hear it! β
At this moment, Gongsun Xun, who was originally normal, got tired of it...... He has heard so many 'famous poems through the ages', where would he care about this poem by Feng Xin? Or a masterpiece?
Moreover, in these years, the real elegance is four-word poems and five-word poems, and there are very few five-word poems. This kind of poetry is naturally incompatible with Gongsun Xun's raised aesthetics, where would he expect it?
However, Guo Dian on the side was interested, and Gongsun Yue, Xian Pei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zhao, Liu Bei, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, and even Zhang Jaw, who was wrapped around his arm, whether it was true or not, were also interested.
Only one Guan Yunchang, because he didn't catch Zhang Bao, was taken by a nobody in Zhang Jaw, and he was a little impatient, but because this poem was a praise to Gongsun Xun, he didn't make a face on the spot.
Gongsun Xun laughed dryly, after all, he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so he grabbed the other party's arm, helped Feng Xin all the way to the high platform of Tushan, and then bowed slightly, saying that he was looking forward to it.
Feng Xin laughed proudly, and then without refusing, he turned around and twisted his beard to take a few steps towards the sunset, and then recited the poem he had made like a song...... Sure enough, it was a five-character poem.
The poem says:
"The general sent a white horse and crossed the Yellow River.
The golden drum shook the Chuan Mountain, and the waves surged.
Wu'an has a vibrating tile, and Yishui has no cold song.
Iron riding is like a snow-capped mountain, drinking and drying.
Raise troops to hunt East County, and turn to the strategic long company.
Leaning on the sword to climb the earth mountain, the remnant sun is saga.
The depression is huge, and there are many mountains for farming.
Sweep away Hebei, Bao Hu Ji Jinge. β
As soon as this poem came out, Rao is Gongsun Xun had many prejudices, but his basic appreciation ability still told him that this was a good poem, and he also counted his military exploits since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was very compatible!
Of course, Guo Dian, Lu Fan, Judge, Dong Zhao, Gongsun Yue and others are also amazed!
"When the monument is here! When the monument is here! Feng Xin, who had finished reciting this poem with his head up, turned back for a while, but continued to dance. This poem is engraved on the front, and the battle is recorded on the back, describing the merits of all of you, and talking about the beginning and end of this poem...... When the monument is here! β
This time, no one objected to this one anymore, Guo Pawn immediately expressed his approval, and just waited for the battle situation to be cleaned up, and then set up a monument to remember the poem!
And Gongsun Xun also slowly bowed his head: "There are countless deaths and injuries, and it is tragic for a while, not only to erect a monument, but also to take the opportunity to sacrifice, summon souls and comfort souls, in order to be healthy in the coming year." β
Everyone agreed more and more, and even pushed the matter to Feng Guoxiang, and Feng Xin naturally agreed with pride.
And after a lively scene, the sunset continued to set in the west, as if it was about to sink completely, and the people who were really literate touched by the scene, and they couldn't help but recite this poem again and again, in order to comfort the hard work of the war and the tragedy of the battlefield.
It's Guan Yunchang, who actually recites this poem lightly, and then looks at the sunset!
However, it was getting late, and when everyone set up a simple banquet on the earth mountain, discussing today's hard battle, they sighed at Feng Xin's majestic poem. Suddenly, Lou Zibo didn't know where he came from, his face was panicked, and as soon as he arrived on the brightly lit earth mountain, he told everyone an unexpected 'bad news'.
"Zhang Taishou accidentally fell into the water when he crossed the river?" Gongsun Xun was shocked. "Have you ever rescued someone?"
"Wait for you." Lou Gui sighed for a moment in the stunned gaze of everyone on the earth mountain. "I heard that Zhang Taishou was wearing double armor when he got on the boat, and he fell into the water at night...... I'm afraid it's hard to find the bones! β
When Gongsun Xun heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed for a while.
βββββββI'm the dividing line of the heartβββββββββ
"Xun has personally passed through Hutuo to cut Zhang Bao, must be blocked at the foot of the mountain, not climbing, but recruiting dozens of first, all heavy armor and holding the chin, open jaw as the deputy. The first to climb into the deserved, the thief's bow and crossbow were messy, the arrows were like rain, and the king of the river fell from below, and the jaw was alone, but he dragged Meng back to the battle, and he was alone with a spear and went up. Ignoring it, the people under the mountain said: 'The mountain is twenty zhang high, and it is white to climb fifty steps.' When they arrived, the people under the mountain were all in unison: 'Fifty steps!' 'The jaw is withdrawn, and the spear is thrown to the flag, and there is the deputy commander Zhongbao, who deserves it. The spear passed through the chest, the deputy marshal was in unbearable pain, the treasure was terrified, and he cried and beheaded the deputy marshal, that is, he hugged him and left. The treasure crowd was in turmoil. Later, Xun personally helped his jaw to climb the mountain and asked, "Why did Qing climb alone?" 'Bow down to the ground and bow: 'The general crossed in person, did not avoid life and death, and dared not to take full credit for the general?' 'Xun sighed greatly, and rewarded it again. ββ"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
