Chapter 309: Insufficient Success

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a fine slit of fine light, and after receiving the order, he no longer hesitated, and led the black wind to rush to the forest, looking for the place where the Liangzhou army grain cart was hiding. As for Wen Han and Xi Long, they led 7,000 cavalry troops to rush to the location where Xu Huang's soldiers and horses were besieged.

"Fourth brother, don't panic! I'm here too! ”

Xu Huang, who was leading the army and Li urging 20,000 troops to resist to the death, suddenly heard Wen Han's shout from behind, he swept away several Liangzhou soldiers with an axe, turned to look, and sure enough, he saw Wen Han riding on a cloud and black horse, leading 7,000 cavalry troops to rush madly with fire. This greatly boosted the morale of Xu Huang and his subordinates, and all of them were like being beaten with chicken blood, and they actually fought back.

When Wen Han's 7,000 cavalry arrived, under the rapid gallop of the war horse, the waving saber cut through the sky, cut a beautiful arc, rushed in the crowd, and slashed at the Liangzhou soldiers led by Li Xuan, and the Liangzhou army was in chaos.

At this time, Xu Huang grabbed a gap, raised the axe and rushed to Li Xun, as if he wanted to take out all the evil qi he received today on Li Xun's head. Li urged Xu Huang to be brave, and after only a dozen moves, he shattered his mouth and did not dare to fight him. After Xu Huang kicked him, Li Xuan actually used his strength to roll several times in a row, and then took advantage of the crowd to flee to the rear.

Li urged him to flee, and the Liangzhou soldiers under his command also lost their fighting courage and retreated again and again. Wen Han and Xu Huang joined forces and launched a fierce attack, and Li Xuan deliberately blocked them to buy time for Zhang Ji's army. After Zhang Ji devours another Hedong army, they will inevitably come to help in the battle, and then they will be able to turn defense into attack.

And Wen Han and Xu Huang were all anxious about Gao Shun's safety, and shouted again and again, causing his subordinates to attack fiercely, but Li Xuan paid attention to delaying time, and ordered his subordinates to only guard and block.

As time passed, Gao Shun's original 7,000 men and horses had lost most of them, and Zhang Ji's army had occupied half of the space of the valley cliff. Even Gao Shun's 3,000 archers put away their big bows and joined the fight with big swords.

In this tense and urgent atmosphere, somewhere in the forest, a group of soldiers and horses was resting very leisurely.

"General Guo, General Li is really not missing. I went out to see the battle just now, but I was afraid that in less than half a pillar of incense, the Hedong army on the valley cliff would be killed by General Zhang's men and horses. At that time, General Zhang will lead his troops back to kill, and the remaining Hedong Army is afraid that the whole army will be wiped out. ”

It was a Dubo under Guo Yan who spoke, and Guo Yan snorted coldly and rolled his eyes in disdain.

"Hmph, then Li Xuan has the courage and no strategy, how can there be such a strategy. If my guess is correct, it should be Jia Wenhe under his account who is plotting. This person's ability is even better than that of Li Zhongling (Li Ru). It's just that this person has an eccentric nature and doesn't like to show it, so he asks Li Xun to take credit every time. ”

"Ahh Since Mr. Jia is so powerful, but indeed, thinking of Mr. Jia's eyes, I have palpitations. In his eyes, I seem to be naked, as if all thoughts have been seen by him.

That's right, General Guo. Shall we drive these grain trucks a little farther away? General Li instructed us to find a shelter at least ten miles away from the battlefield. It was less than two miles from the battlefield, and it was open and uncovered. If there is an accident, we are afraid that it will be difficult to explain. ”

"Humph! What are you afraid of! Do you really think that Wen Bufan is a man of God? In this critical situation, can you still think of attacking the grain truck? This mountain road is bumpy, back and forth, and I don't know how much effort it will take. I don't have that much to spare, so I might as well rest here for a while while the war is over. ”

"Yes, yes. General Guo is sympathetic to us and others, so there is no need to go so far. The grain cart was so heavy that we pushed it for days, and we were all bruised from pushing it. ”

As soon as Guo Yan's voice fell, he immediately won the unanimous approval of many soldiers in charge of the cart.

Dada

Guo Yan was about to say a few more words, when suddenly a violent sound of horses' hooves vibrated and frightened Guo Yan.

I saw Guan Yu, who was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, leading the black wind to ride away and seeing these grain carts from a distance, he immediately threw his horsewhip wildly, all of them were like black leopards, and they rushed over.

"Shoot from the back!!"

Guan Yu gave an order, and the Black Wind rider quickly pulled the bowstring into a semicircle, and shot out with the wind. A surging wave of arrows fell like a torrential rain, Guo Yan was shocked, and hurriedly turned his knife to block, but many Liangzhou soldiers who had no time to react were shot to the ground.

Under Guan Yu's continuous orders, the black wind rode into a series of violent storms and rains, and several rounds of arrows were launched, which caused the soldiers and horses under Guo Yan's command to be in chaos, and they only fled for their lives.

Originally, the 5,000 soldiers under Guo Yan, under the surging attack of these rounds of arrows, most of the dead and wounded fled in an instant.

At the same time, Guan Yu didn't seem to be ready to give them any respite, the chaos of the Liangzhou army in front of him was the best time to charge, the black wind horse waved the spear in his hand, and the horse suddenly rushed towards him, and the cold spear blade pierced the body of one Liangzhou soldier after another.

And Guan Yu, galloping on his horse, came to Guo Yan majestically, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife swept out a cold and sharp light, slashing straight towards Guo Yan's body.

The red-faced Dan Fengmu Qinglong Knife, isn't this Wen Han's brother Guan Yu, Guan Ghost mourning! When Guo Yan saw Guan Yu rushing over, he sounded the identity of the enemy general in his mind, and he was suddenly so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

With a loud bang, the weapon in Guo Yan's hand cracked in response, and he was rushed away by his knife at the same time, and he was stunned to stop when he hit several Liangzhou soldiers.

Guan Yu still has urgent matters at the moment, and if he is one point late, then Gao Shun will be one point in danger. So he no longer chased and killed Guo Yan. Guan Yu picked up the fire fold from his arms.

This is a novelty made by Wen Han, which is made of very coarse clay paper into tight paper rolls, with charcoal and phosphorus added to them. Ignite it with fire and then blow it out, and although there is no flame, you can see the red bright spots faintly burning, like an ember in the ashes, which can remain unextinguished for a long time.

Phosphorus, carbon and other aerobic substances, when the temperature is high, blow with the mouth, or quickly shake it, it will be in full contact with oxygen and cause a violent reaction and combust.

When it needs to be ignited, it can be rekindled by blowing, but blowing is very skillful, and it needs to be sudden, short, and forcefully aspirated.

With this fire fold, it is enough to cope with some emergency needs of fire, and it is lightweight and easy to carry. Therefore, Wen Han asked the whole army to be equipped with one. Guan Yu was already familiar with this fire fold, and after blowing it for a while, he threw the fire fold into the grain cart, and the black wind rider on the side also did the same action at the same time.

One by one, the grain carts lit up with raging flames, and there were many Liangzhou soldiers who resisted around, seeing these attacking Hedong cavalry, they still went to the grain cart one by one strange things, and then the grain cart immediately burst into flames, and all of them were so frightened that their faces were white. These grain trucks are the lifeblood of the Liangzhou army, and now nearly half of them have been burned, and I am afraid that each of them will have to die to apologize.

On the burning grain truck, black and pungent smoke rose into the sky, and immediately dyed the sky black.

And Zhang Jiliangzhou's army, who was about to be on the valley cliff, suddenly saw countless smoke rising from behind, and the smoke was dense, and he was immediately shocked.

Zhang Ji, who was fighting in front, was full of horror, and the ominous omen in his heart was extremely strong.

"Isn't it!! No way! Once all this grain wagon is burned down, the army will not be left without food for a day, and our army will definitely lose all morale and be slaughtered by the Hedong army. ”

There were less than 4,000 Hedong soldiers in front of him, but this grain truck was related to the life and death of the entire 50,000 Liangzhou army. And Jia Xu and Li Xun in the rear saw two miles away, the black fog and thick smoke were thick, and they also guessed that something was wrong, and later added Guo Yan who fled back and his subordinates who fled everywhere to report, and immediately did not dare to hesitate, and led the army to rescue.

And Wen Han and Xu Huang saw that Li Xuan's soldiers and horses suddenly retreated, and saw the surrounding black fog spreading, so they guessed that Guan Yu had successfully attacked the grain cart of the Liangzhou army. Wen Han and Xu Huang were both morale-boosting and went away. After Guan Yu and Hei Feng rode about seventy percent of the grain carts, at this time, they had seen countless soldiers and horses from Liangzhou rushing over, and hurriedly abandoned these grain carts and fled away.

Jia Xu's eyes widened, looking at the half-burned grain truck in front of him, and the light smile on his face was also lost. He sighed deeply, glanced at the gray-faced Guo Yan next to him, and shook his head secretly.

"A son is wrong, and all the plates are lost. A rat poop spoiled a nest of porridge. ”

And when Zhang Ji and Li Ji arrived, when Zhang Ji saw that the burning trains were like a huge fire dragon, he was so angry that he was about to raise his knife to kill Guo Yan on the spot. However, before he ran, the Hedong army behind him was already chasing and killing. At this time, most of the grain trucks were burned, the morale of the Liangzhou army was completely lost, and the remaining thirty percent of the grain trucks could not be lost. Zhang Ji and Li Xun hurriedly led the demoralized Liangzhou army to resist, while Jia Xu evacuated with the remaining grain trucks.

The Hedong Army has been being played and applauded by the Liangzhou Army, and everyone has held back a bad breath, and at this time it seems to be venting this evil breath, and the Hedong Army is as brave as a tiger and wolf. And Zhang Ji and Li Xu's men and horses were like lambs and let them eat. The Hedong army was killed in a dark sky, and the blood was all over the sky.

Finally, when the news came that Jia Xu had sent the rest of the grain carts away safely, they were dizzy and dizzy, and Zhang Ji and Li Xu, who were caught off guard, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stopped the act of sending them to death and led the army to flee. In addition to Wen Han's soldiers and horses, the Hedong Army fought for most of the day, and they were also exhausted at this time, so Wen Han no longer pursued and killed, and went back to meet Gao Shun's soldiers and horses, and then collected troops and went back to Yanshi.

At this point, the Liangzhou army, which originally had the upper hand in a good situation, was overturned by the Hedong army, which was at an absolute disadvantage, just because of the dereliction of duty of one Guo Yan. Not only did he lose most of the grain and grass, but in the end, he was killed by the Hedong army and had no power to fight back, and suffered heavy losses.

Zhang Ji was forced to be thirty miles away from Yanshi, and found a position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to temporarily settle down.

Later, after statistics, Zhang Ji heard that the remaining grain and grass were only enough to last for two months, and today he lost more than 10,000 men and horses, so he was so angry that he wanted to kill Guo Yan with a knife. Later, because Li Xuan and other soldiers interceded for Guo Yan, although Zhang Ji was angry, he still did not start in the end, so Guo Yan was tied up and sent back to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo was sent down.

Now the grain and grass are only enough to last for two months, which means that Zhang Ji must capture Yanshi and obtain supplies within two months before he can continue his expedition to Hedong.

And Zhang Ji, who originally had the upper hand today, but was turned the tide by Wen Han and defeated, couldn't help but have a hint of retreat in his heart at this time. But thinking about Dong Zhuo's temperament, if he fled back to Luoyang in such a hurry, he would definitely be severely punished, and it was likely that he would not even be able to keep his head.
