Chapter 334: Avoiding Its Edge
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Wang Lian and Dou Rong are very familiar with each other, both of them used to work under Wang Kuang's hands, and they were old enemies with the Red Eyebrow Army, and they fought side by side many times.
Dou Rong's background is very ordinary, his father died when he was very young, and his family background is not good, but then he was lucky, and his sister didn't know how, so she married Wang Yi inexplicably.
When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Dou Rong also went to Chang'an because of his sister's relationship, and made friends with many dignitaries and dignitaries.
Later, the Red Mei Army rebelled, and Dou Rong passed Wang Yi's relationship, went to Wang Kuang's account, and became an assistant (captain level).
This time, Wang Yi personally commanded an army of 430,000 and sent troops to exterminate the Nanyang Han army, as the eldest brother, Dou Rong, naturally got Wang Yi's support, and was called to his account by Wang Yi, and the military rank was also promoted from an assistant army to a partial general.
Dou Rong can rise step by step, but he really doesn't rely entirely on Wang Yi. He himself is also very capable, not only literary talent, but also proficient in the art of war, and his martial arts are also very strong.
In addition, his ancestor is very famous, he is the Marquis of Zhangwu Dou Guangguo, that is, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xiaowen Dou.
After listening to Wang Lian's introduction to Dou Rong, Liu Xiu rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and muttered, "This person has some relationship with me. ”
Wang Lian was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, he understood what Liu Xiu meant by the origin.
Liu Xiu is after Emperor Jing, Empress Xiaowen Dou is Emperor Jing's mother, Dou Rong is after Dou Guangguo, and Empress Xiaowen Dou is Dou Guangguo's sister.
Although it has been many generations apart, there is really a little kinship between Liu Xiu and Dou Rong, strictly speaking.
At this time on the battlefield, Zhu You was still fighting with Dou Rong, and the two had fought for thirty rounds, but they still had not decided the winner.
While admiring Dou Rong's martial arts, Liu Xiu was also worried that Zhu You would lose, so he said to the soldiers on the side: "Mingjin." ”
As the gong sounded, Zhu You, who was fighting with Dou Rong inextricably, made a false move and turned his horse back to his own position.
Dou Rong was willing to let him go, carrying a spear, and then chased. Seeing that Dou Rong was chasing after Zhu You, Fu Jun didn't say a word, twisted his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at Dou Rong, and shot an arrow.
The latter also reacted quickly, snatched his hand outward, and when he was long, the arrows that flew over swirled in the air, and the bounce flew out for a long time. However, Fu Jun's arrow also made Dou Rongle stop his horse.
He glanced around the opposite side, and when he saw Liu Xiu in the crowd, his eyes flickered obviously, and his gaze paused on him for a few seconds, and then, he turned his horse's head and retreated to the main formation of the Mang army.
He didn't know Liu Xiu, nor did he know the generals of the Han army, but in the Han army, the only one who could attract his attention was Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu is not very old, handsome, and easy to attract attention, but the most important thing is that he has a different temperament, elegant and majestic, gentle and not lacking in atmosphere, obviously in the crowd, but he has a sense of standing out from the crowd.
Dou Rong carried the spear and returned to the main camp of the Mang army, and when he approached Wang Yi's carriage, he intervened in the salute with an unnatural face, and said: "General, the last general is incompetent and has failed to take off the head of the thief!" ”
At this time, Wang Yi in the carriage had softened a lot, and the corners of his mouth were also a little raised, revealing a little smile.
He waved his hand to Dou Rong and said happily: "If it weren't for the shaft running fast, how would he still have his life now?" Zhou Gong has worked hard, go down and rest for a while! While speaking, Wang Yi could not hide the smug look on his face.
Few of the generals recruited by the recruitment order can be of great use, like Hu Ren, Yan Lang and the like, who are not only killed in battle, but at the critical moment, they must be their own people who can play a role in turning the tide and stabilizing the morale of the army.
After Dou Rong retreated to the side, Wang Yi straightened his chest and said loudly: "It's just a thief, it's just that, pass on my general order, and the whole army will attack!" ”
Dou Rong's defeat of Zhu You did boost the morale of the Mang army a lot. With Wang Yi's order, the sound of drums immediately sounded in the camp of the Mang army. There are hundreds of big drums, and the sound is really deafening.
With the sound of drums, the soldiers in front of the battle formation shouted in unison: "Roar-"
Then, as many as 150,000 reckless troops marched in the direction of Yangguan in unison. In addition, the cavalry in the Mang army also rushed out from the camp of the left front army and the right front army, and went straight to Liu Xiu and others on the opposite side.
Seeing that the Mang army had given up single-handedly and launched an all-army attack, Liu Xiu simply said, "Withdraw!" ”
Liu Xiu led the Han army of 500 people, all of them withdrew to Yangguan City, and after entering the city, immediately some soldiers dismounted, closed the city gate, and fixed the door bolt.
After that, Liu Xiu did not stay in Yangguan for a moment, passed through the city, ran out from the south gate of Yangguan, and marched all the way to the south.
The 150,000 reckless army commanded by Wang Yi himself did not use a knife or a shot, and captured Yangguan without bloodshed. In Yangguan City, they did not find a single Han soldier, but found many injured and captured Mang soldiers.
Wang Yi was not polite to these captured soldiers of his own side, and ordered them all to be executed.
Yan You and Chen Mao both came to dissuade him, but it was useless, Wang Yi didn't listen to the two of them at all, and in the end, none of the more than 100 wounded soldiers ran away, and all died under the knife of their own side.
After Dou Rong and Ju Wuba entered the city, they asked Wang Yi for help almost at the same time, and now that the Han army has not run far, it is a good opportunity for their own side to pursue!
When Wang Yi heard this, he felt justified, and immediately sent 2,000 cavalry to Dou Rong and Ju Wuba, and asked him to lead a cavalry to cooperate with the battle and pursue Liu Xiu's troops.
Out of the south gate of Yangguan, Ju Wuba turned his head to look at Dou Rong, grinned, and said with a smile: "General Dou, let's compete to see who can unscrew Liu Xiu'er's head first!" ”
Dou Rong rode a horse, Ju Wuba didn't ride a horse, with his weight, no matter how good the war horse was, he couldn't carry him, with his height, if he didn't ride a horse, he was a head taller than a horseman.
Turning his head to look at the giant who wanted to compete with him, Dou Rong smiled indifferently, and said lightly: "Before the two armies, the most jealous and impetuous, General Juwu, I will say goodbye!" ”
He arched his hand on his horse, waved his hand to the cavalry under his command, and shouted, "Go!" ”
Dou Rong took two thousand cavalry and galloped out quickly.
Looking at Dou Rong's back, Ju Wuba laughed twice, and said loudly to the two thousand cavalry behind him: "If you can keep up with me, you will have meat to eat tonight!" With that, he threw off his legs and ran out like a smoke.
Don't look at the giant is running on two legs, but compared with the four legs of the war horse, the speed is not slow at all, but faster.
Looking at the giant who was 'riding in the dust' in front, the cavalry below him were a little dumbfounded, looking at each other, and muttering in their hearts, is this still human?
After being stunned for a while, people reacted, flicked their whips one after another, and chased in the direction where the giant was running.
Liu Xiu's destination was the county town of Yangzhai, where he first joined Ma Wu and then went south to Kunyang together.
To make a long story short, Liu Xiu hurried to the Han army camp outside the southern city of Yangzhai.
During this time, Ma Wu fought several battles with the county soldiers who reinforced Yang Zhai here in Yangzhai, and these battles ended in the complete victory of the Han army, and the county soldiers who came to reinforce Yang Zhai were killed and returned defeated.
It's just that the Han army itself also suffered a lot of casualties. Originally, there were 2,000 soldiers, but now there are about 1,500 soldiers who can fight.
After Liu Xiu saw Ma Wu and the others, he said: "Zizhang, the 150,000 Mang army commanded by Wang Yi has arrived at Yangguan and is heading south, heading towards the county town, we have to evacuate this place quickly!" ”
It is no problem for them to surround and send reinforcements here to block the local county soldiers, but if they want to stop the reckless army of 150,000 people, it is undoubtedly to hit the stone with eggs and bring about their own destruction.
Ma Wu and the others nodded in unison, without superfluous nonsense, and immediately ordered, the whole army packed up supplies, set up camp, and marched south. When the Han army was packing up in the camp, a scout ran into the camp quickly, and when Liu Xiu, Ma Wu and others approached, the scout turned over and dismounted, intervened and said: "General, the big thing is not good, there are two reckless cavalry, and they are quickly attacking our camp."
Come! ”
Liu Xiuchai asked, "How many people are there in the enemy?" ”
"Two cavalry, no less than two thousand each!"
"Do you know who is in charge?"
"A cavalry will have the word 'Dou' on the flag, and a cavalry will have the word 'Juwu' on the flag."
Sinus! Giant! Liu Xiu only pondered slightly, and he knew who the main general of the Mangjun cavalry was. Dou must be Dou Rong, Ju Wu, must be the famous 'elder', Ju Wuba.
Ju Wuba is more than two meters and thirty meters tall, I don't know if he can be regarded as the tallest person at that time, anyway, in Chang'an and Luoyang, there is no one taller than him, so he also has the nickname of 'Changren'.
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Dou Rong and Ju Wuba are not ordinary people, we have to evacuate quickly!" ”
Ma Wu frowned and said, "Lord, we still have a lot of supplies to pack!" ”
"Don't! Hurry up! Liu Xiu made a quick decision. Materials or something, you can find them again if you don't have them, but there is only one life, and you can't find them back if you die!
Ma Wu was still a little unwilling, and he didn't take Dou Rong and Ju Wuba too seriously. He said: "My lord, there are only 4,000 enemy troops, and we are not unable to fight!" ”
Maybe it's because I'm used to fighting more battles with less, and now I have to fight two thousand against four thousand, in Ma Wu's opinion, such a gap is nothing at all.
Liu Xiu glared at him and said categorically: "Withdraw!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "General, there is a cavalry attack from outside the camp!" ”
When Ma Wu heard this, his eyebrows erected, and he said: "Lord, it seems that it is too late, and his subordinates will go to block the enemy army first!" ”
Liu Xiu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said to Feng Yi: "Gongsun, you lead the brothers, quickly evacuate to the south!" Then, he shook his head at Ma Wu and the others, got on his horse, and went straight to the direction of the camp gate.
When Liu Xiu, Ma Wu, Cho Qi, Jia Fu, Zhu You and others came to the camp gate, they saw that it was dusty outside, and two cavalry teams rushed quickly.
These two cavalry, almost side by side, like a whirlwind, went straight to their own camp.
Ma Wu looked at it and said to Liu Xiu: "Lord, please allow your subordinates to go out of the camp and fight the enemy!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ba came out and said, "My lord, my subordinates are also willing to go out to fight!" ”
Ma Wu glanced at Wang Ba contemptuously and said, "Go where is cool!" ”
Wang Ba was about to reply, Liu Xiu looked at the people around him, and said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to go out of the camp to fight, and those who disobey the military order will be killed!" His words made Ma Wu and Wang Ba stop. Liu Xiu ordered the 500 cavalry he brought to stand by on the wall, and as long as the enemy army entered the firing range, he would release arrows to the outside world, and as many arrows as he could, he would shoot as many arrows as he could, and there was no need to keep them.
