229 Defeat Zhao Bao
Ma Teng is not a fool, if he can't fight, he won't fight, his own clan Ma Dai was arrested, he retreated first as a respect, and decisively withdrew with his soldiers to Huaili to meet with Zhu.
Ma Teng withdrew, Huang Zhong and others pursued, Cheng Yun was not calm, now I finally know what it means to be poor Kou Mo chasing, in the era of cold weapons, the proportion of geographical advantages may be too high.
hurriedly prepared to order Huang Zhong and the others to retreat, but Jia Xu stopped him, "After fighting for so long, Ziyang should also come, don't panic, we will take Ziyang and the Northern Army to catch up, there will be no problems." ”
Xun You and Li Ru also seconded the proposal, and Cheng Yun saw that they swore an oath and settled down, "Then that's it?" Hurry up and let people urge Ziyang. ”
Liu Ye came faster than Cheng Yun imagined, and came over after a short time, hearing that Huang Zhong and others had repelled Ma Teng, he laughed, "Then let's go over and take advantage, our brothers can't wait!" ”
Zhang Sheng and Li Le both nodded, and Cheng Yun didn't say anything, "Let's go!" ”
Zhu left some men and horses to guard the city, and took 20,000 people and Zhang Meng and Zhao Bao to come out to meet Ma Teng, Ma Teng was surprised when he saw this, "General Gongwei, did you beat Huaili down?" This is down? ”
I can't help but be surprised, this Huaili is not a small place like Juan County, it is said that it will be beaten down, this is one of the three auxiliary offices, the city is strong, although I have also brought people out of a lot of strength, and made a lot of siege equipment, but this is too simple!
Ma Teng's doubts Zhu was not ready to answer, and smiled profoundly, "Shoucheng, don't have doubts, let's solve Cheng Wenying's troops first!" ”
Ma Teng nodded, scattered on both sides with his subordinates, handed over the middle to Zhu, and used himself as the two wings to encircle Huang Zhong's pursuing troops, and the battle began again.
With Zhu's help, Huang Zhong and the others felt a lot of pressure, the Xiyuan Army, which had no advantage in numbers, slowly increased its losses in the battle, Huang Zhong saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, these veterans are the most valuable wealth on his side!
With the help of Zhang Liao, he struggled to kill Che Er, who was entangled with himself, Huang Zhong reined in his horse's head, turned around and retreated, and the army saw Huang Zhong's general flag retreating, and they all followed, Ma Teng was not happy at this time, didn't you chase me before? The two wings were decisively closed, and the Xiyuan army, which was pursuing Huang Zhong, rose up.
Zhu also knew the strength of the Xiyuan Army, and expected that the Hedong Tuntian Army would not dare to give up Xiayang Fenyin and come to Sanfu to find trouble for himself, even if Cheng Yun had arrangements, there were only more than 30,000 people and 10,000 people in each of the three cities of Sanfu, and he couldn't make any waves, and he let Zhang Meng lead the army to pursue.
Cheng Yun just rushed over, and saw Huang Zhong leading the army to retreat, Huang Zhong saw them early, Cheng Yun nodded, and asked Cheng Yu to give Huang Zhong a banner, Huang Zhong was overjoyed when he heard the news, it turned out that the reinforcements of the Northern Army were coming!
The north is a big river, Huang Zhong and others decisively moved to the south, Ma Tengjun didn't know where to go, and chased after him, but Zhang Meng was a little puzzled, but he also had the same idea as Zhu, how can you be strong without soldiers?
Zhao Bao signaled his soldiers not to rush over with Zhang Meng and the others, waiting for Ma Teng and Zhang Meng's people to pursue to the southeast, and glanced at his subordinates, "Let's go directly to Chang'an!" ”
However, he didn't expect that his decision happened to let him meet the 40,000 northern army led by Zhang Sheng, Li Le, and Liu Ye, but when they met on a narrow road, the brave won, and it was too late to turn around, and the two sides immediately started a
Fan War.
Li Le took Zhao Bao directly with a Han knife, Zhao Bao did not panic at all, held Li Le with a gun, and then threw it away, and went straight to Liu Ye, wanting to directly chisel through the Chinese army, how could Zhang Sheng let him do this, blocked him, Liu Ye did not panic, and dispatched 40,000 horses of the Northern Army to fight against Zhao Bao's army.
In fact, in terms of military literacy, Zhao Bao's army has thrown off the Northern Army a lot, not to mention that the Northern Army is all recruits, it is also an army dominated by recruits, and this is the first major war experienced by the Northern Army, so as soon as it came into contact, these 40,000 people were beaten by Zhao Bao's 10,000 people.
However, there is one thing that Zhao Bao didn't expect, it is Liu Ye's hole card, Zhang Sheng's headquarters of the Northern Army's Shooting Captain Department, 10,000 crossbowmen, equipped with a new type of crossbow carefully developed by Bi Lan and others, although Cheng Yun gave Bi Lan the concept of "crossbow" so far Bi Lan has not succeeded in pondering, but the loading speed and weight of these portable crossbows have met the requirements of single crossbowmen.
After Zhao Bao's cavalry was entangled, Zhang Sheng's crossbowmen began to exert their might, just one round, directly let Zhao Bao's 10,000 cavalry corps reduce more than half, Zhao Bao's eyes were cracked, and he wanted to set aside Zhang Sheng to lead the army to retreat, but he was entangled by Li Le, who came back from behind, and couldn't move.
No way, the cavalry is not like the infantry, which can hold a shield against the bow and crossbow, and must hold the reins in one hand, unless it is a battle with people stationed on horses, but how to guard against crossbow arrows when fighting against horses? Therefore, the cavalry, who had no mobility, became the target of Zhang Sheng's shooting department.
Although Zhao Bao was brave, but in the face of the annihilation of the whole army, he still couldn't recover the decline, and was surrounded by the knights of the Northern Army who had freed up his hands, beat the horse, and captured him alive, Cheng Yun smiled, his expression was inexplicable, "Ziyang, white horse, quickly lead people to support Han Sheng!" ”
Huang Zhong was waiting for Liu Ye and them, but something went wrong, and when he turned back, he found that Liu Ye and the others hadn't had time to come over, which was embarrassing, and his side and Ma Tengzhu had become a dozen or two ratios!
But since he has returned, then the battle is happy, so Huang Zhong led the Xiyuan Army and the Ma Zhu coalition army to fight again, at this time Ma Teng and Huang Zhong's horses were already overwhelmed, but Zhang Meng's Zhu army was still very excited, pressing Xu Rong, Yang Ding and others all the hammer.
But the good times of Zhang Meng and others did not last long, Liu Ye took more than 30,000 northern troops to directly copy the back road of Ma Teng's army, and the previous encounter against Zhao Bao was different, Li Le directly took the cavalry of Tun Cai Yue Cavalry and other captains to the west to wrap the Zhu army, and Zhang Sheng took the infantry and the crossbowmen of the shooting captain department directly behind the Ma Teng army and began to snipe Ma Teng's army.
Ma Tengjun was suddenly attacked, and suddenly there was chaos, and he wanted to turn around and charge Liu Ye, Zhang Sheng and others, but when he saw that the other party was in a good formation, the infantry was tightly guarded, and there was no chance, so his heart was cold, something happened!
Zhu also saw this situation, and was shocked, and immediately took Zhang Meng and others to retreat westward, and hurriedly informed Ma Teng to charge northwest, chiseled through the cavalry led by Li Le, and turned back to Huaili.
Li Le didn't know Ma Tengjun's ability, and when he saw Ma Tengjun coming up with crossbow arrows, he was not in a hurry, and led the army to intercept it, and he was bound to drag the pace of the opposite cavalry as he had just now, leaving it to Zhang Sheng to harvest, but he didn't expect to encounter a ruthless stubble, King Wu Ke and Pang De attacked left and right, Li Le didn't hold it for a round, and was directly stabbed through and thrown off the horse like rags.
The main general was beheaded, which was a big blow to the recruits, so they made a mess, and were decisively cut through by Ma Tengjun, Zhang Sheng lost a good opportunity to shoot, so he could only lead the army to stabilize the cavalry, and then pursue after integration.
Cheng Yun was very sorry for Li Le's death, but fortunately, Chu Yan and Xu Huang could return to the team in time to command the Northern Army, otherwise they would have relied on Liu Ye and Zhang Sheng to command the three middle classes of infantry and crossbows, which would not have been able to play at all.
Temporarily handing over Li Le's subordinates to Commander Xu Huang, Cheng Yun and the others discussed today's battle together, and pressed Ma Dai and Zhao Bao up, Cheng Yun asked, "What is the idea of Ma Teng and Zhu fighting?" Is there anything you want to say? ”
Ma Dai must have said nothing, this is Ma Teng's clan, loyal, Zhao Bao needless to say, the wind is still there, and he smiled, "Cheng Wenying, you are so smart, you must know everything, and you still ask me what to do?" If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, if you don't give up, let me go. ”
Cheng Yun blinked, "I can't afford to recruit a talent like you?" ”
"I can't." Zhao Bao squinted at him, "If you capture my brothers, I may still obey you because of their safety, but the soldiers under my command have killed them all, I already have a common enmity with you, how can I obey you?" ”
Cheng Yun nodded, "Since you and I have a common enmity, how could I let you go so easily?" But if I kill you, I still can't convince myself in my own heart, Zhao Weihao, you are a talent, a celebrity, and a loyal minister, I don't want to kill you, so I decided to imprison you for decades, I don't know how your old mother will live these decades without other brothers. ”
Zhao Bao struggled suddenly, but was pressed to death, and scolded, "Cheng Wenying, you despicable villain, you actually used my mother to blackmail me!" ”
Cheng Yun was expressionless, "Maybe you believe that your old mother will be treated well by Zhu Gongwei, but I can tell you clearly that he may not be able to help you support your mother, he will either die on the battlefield, or he will be escorted to Luoyang, and you will enjoy the same treatment as you who do not cooperate, and be imprisoned for life." ”
Zhao Bao made a ho-ho sound in his throat, his fingers were clenched tightly, the green tendons were exposed, and the tips of his fists were snow-white, obviously angry to the extreme, Cheng Yun suddenly pointed at Zhao Bao and scolded, "Are you contradictory?" Are you conflicted about this? Zhao Weihao, I really misjudged you! I can tell you, if you hadn't rebelled with Zhu, how could your old mother have suffered so much? Do you think you rebelled with Zhu as loyal? Do you think it's me Cheng Wenying who rebelled? Big mistake, Zhu just wants power, and this power is now in my hands! ”
"Even if he gets rid of me, he will only walk the road I walked again in my place, and it is not as smooth as my walk!"
Cheng Yun's words made Zhao Bao regain some senses, glanced at the people behind Cheng Yun, and stared at Xun You, "Xun Gongda, what he said is true?" ”
Xun You coughed, "Don't ask, just ask, it means that you have understood." ”
Zhao Bao gave up struggling and collapsed to the ground, "Zhu Gongwei is not a loyal minister?" So what am I doing here? ”
"Rebellion." Cheng Yun said as a matter of course, "You are disloyal, do you still want to be unfilial?" ”
Zhao Bao closed his eyes and opened them again, "What can I do?" ”
"Obey, or be imprisoned."
