Chapter 472: The Beginning of the War in the Northland
And what is made by heaven is that now this new hussar general actually attacked Zhang Ji's hometown, Beidi County!
"If my uncle learns about it, I'm afraid that he will be difficult to look at under the nine springs!!"
Zhang Xiu's face suddenly became hideous, and he had a deep affection for Zhang Ji, even beyond the ordinary father-son relationship. When Zhang Xiu was still young, Zhang Ji, who was already a general under Dong Zhuo, has always been the goal of Zhang Xiu's life, and Zhang Ji also discovered Zhang Xiu's talent, cultivated Zhang Xiu's martial arts since he was a child, and later entrusted people to find a famous teacher for Zhang Xiu. It can be said that without Zhang Ji's cultivation, there would be no Zhang Xiu, the famous gun king in the north, today!
"This article is extraordinary, but he is from a humble family! He also deserves the title of the Great Hussar! Pass my order, order the ironclad elite cavalry to prepare, Wen Bufan has just arrived, he is not familiar with the terrain, the soldiers and horses are tired, it is late tonight, it is a good time for a sneak attack! ”
It's no wonder that Zhang Xiu can't accept that a noble boy like him, from the beginning, the servants who serve him by his side, nod to him, and flatter and sell good entourage, which one is not from a poor family. This made Zhang Xiu unconsciously, he had long been accustomed to seeing the poor people as inferior, and the Wenhan grade was only a few years older than Zhang Xiu, so he was in a high position as a hussar, the high position that his uncle had fought for all his life!
"Yes, the last general will give the order!"
After receiving the order, the scout was about to leave, but Zhang Xiu's plan had just been completed, and he felt a little hasty, so he stopped the scout again.
"Slow! Wen Bufan is a cautious and scheming man. You then inform Hu Che'er and ask him to lead 5,000 crossbowmen to ambush him at Tiger Roar Road tonight, waiting for an opportunity to move. If my sneak attack is successful, he will come to help, and if I can't sneak attack, he will be ready to take the retreat! ”
Youth and blue are better than blue, Zhang Xiu is more meticulous than Zhang Ji, and he fights bravely. Since Zhang Xiu took over Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses, he has repeatedly used tough tactics to reorganize military regulations, which has brought a new atmosphere in the army. Many soldiers in the army are looking forward to and believe that Zhang Xiu can be famous all over the world.
The scout nodded heavily, and secretly said that General Xiao Zhang, sure enough, is worthy of the pride of their northern land, and the battle situation is extremely precise.
When the night fog falls, it is in the camp twenty miles away. Wen Han and Xi Long stood outside the tent, discussing countermeasures for attacking Niyang. Suddenly, a scout team rushed quickly, and then the general of the team quickly told the information. Wen Han listened, bowed slightly, and ordered him to take his soldiers to eat and rest first.
"Since there have been big movements in this Niyang City, it seems that Zhang Xiu will come over tonight to sneak attack."
With a chuckle on his face, Xi Long said lightly.
"So, when the soldiers finish eating, I'll start getting busy."
Wen Han and Xi Long looked at each other and smiled, and the look in their eyes was particularly bright under the light of the firelight next to them. Soon after, the people of the various departments of the cultural camp began to turmoil under the arrangement of Xilong.
After a few hours, in the camp, it seems that the death is particularly dead, and the night is covered, which makes people feel a little cold.
At night, on the third watch, a group of people and horses galloped quickly outside the city of Northland, and inside this group of people and horses, they were all cavalry soldiers wearing iron armor. The leader of the general is Zhang Xiu, who is wearing a bright gold armor and holding a tiger's head golden gun, and is known as the king of guns in the north. Zhang Xiu looked cold, and a pair of eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes, looking at Wenying in the distance.
"Stay in formation and gradually pick up the pace! Watch me gesture and charge! ”
Zhang Xiu lowered his voice and drank majestically. The 8,000 cavalry soldiers who followed were all shining-eyed and bowed their heads heavily, indicating that they understood. Zhang Xiu flicked the horsewhip, sat down and sat down at the speed of the horse, a few points faster, and after rushing for a while, it was already close to Wenying. Zhang Xiu suddenly grabbed the horses, and the cavalry behind them also stopped, which made people feel a little surprised that this team of ironclad elite cavalry was able to maintain a good formation, and did not appear to be in chaos at all because of the sudden stoppage.
This cavalry army is an elite soldier trained by Zhang Xiu himself, because of Zhang Ji's strong support, funds in place, and well-equipped armor, coupled with years of drills and battlefield fighting, this is how to build such an elite army.
Zhang Xiu restrained the killing intent on his face a little, and when he was about to rush to kill, his heart suddenly trembled, and his brows suddenly furrowed. The surrounding area is too quiet, and there is rarely a noise in the camp not far away. According to the spies, Wen Han had about 30,000 soldiers and horses, and with such a huge number, even in the middle of the night, it was impossible to be so quiet that he could hear a pin dropping.
"Could it be that this Wen Bufan has already sensed that I am coming to sneak attack tonight?!"
Zhang Xiu squinted, secretly slandered in his heart, and then pointed to a team of soldiers and horses on the left behind him, and made a few gestures to the leading hundred generals.
Zhang Jun 100 people will rush to the front of the camp gate, the reaction is extremely agile, as soon as the horse stops, he picked up the big bow behind his back, put the bow on the arrow, and shot a few arrows with a sigh, and shot to death several civilian soldiers on the left and right sides of the walled gate. Then he made a few quick gestures, and the soldiers behind him were scattered, and galloped in all directions around the camp. As for the 100-strong generals of the Zhang army, they stood in place, looking into the camp of the Wen army. He looked at it for a long time, and the more he opened his brows, the tighter he wrinkled, and after a while, the soldiers he sent came back one after another, and after many years of battlefield battles, the soldiers only needed one look at each other, and they almost understood what the other party wanted to say. From these soldiers, Zhang Jun's hundred people will know that they are in all directions of the camp, and they will also find that the movement of the camp is very small.
Zhang Jun's 100 people did not dare to move lightly, and hurriedly led the army to withdraw and report to Zhang Xiu. When Zhang Xiu heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted immediately.
"Not good! Wen Bufan must have been prepared for a long time, I will withdraw quickly! ”
As soon as Zhang Xiu's words fell, around the Wenying, there were bursts of earth-shattering shouts of killing, and I saw soldiers and horses rushing out from the Wenying all the way. The fastest rushing was a group of cavalry troops wearing pitch-black Yama ghost masks, led by a general, with a red face and sharp eyes, long flowing hair, wearing green robes and black armor, and holding a green dragon glaive knife, galloping on horseback.
When Zhang Xiu saw that general, his face changed again, this person's face was strange, very easy to recognize, it must be Wen Han's second brother, Lu Bu, who can be unparalleled in the world, Guan Ghost Funeral, Guan Yunchang!
Zhang Xiu asked himself if he was Guan Yu's opponent, so he fled. Guan Yu danced the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and Dan Feng's eyes burst into light again and again, and he shouted majestically.
"The thief doesn't want to escape! Guan Yun is also here! ”
Guan Yu snapped the black dragon horse, the black dragon horse's speed increased again, roared past in front of the camp gate, and galloped a hundred meters, and it was already the last team of soldiers and horses that chased Zhang Xiu's cavalry to escape.
The Qinglong Yanyue knife rose suddenly, the blade was cold and sharp, and it swept horizontally, and the three Zhang soldiers were instantly cut in half by the waist, and the blood was flying, Guan Yu danced the Qinglong Yanyue knife again, or split or pick, and then killed five people in a row, rushed into the crowd, rushed left and right, like a tiger like a flock of sheep, and killed all the way.
As for the Black Wind Rider behind him, he shot arrows while riding his horse, the sound of the bowstring was constantly ringing, and the archery skills of each of his soldiers were extremely terrifying.
Suddenly, the hundreds of Zhang soldiers who fled in the last fell off their horses, and the uncontrolled horses kept neighing and rushing indiscriminately, knocking down a lot of Zhang soldiers.
And at this moment, a group of people and horses galloped from another way, the leader of the general was wearing a white robe chain armor, holding a gentian bright silver spear, in the night, as if flashing with life-threatening brilliance, sitting down the night jade lion is a divine horse, four hooves rushed rapidly, as fast as a white lightning. Zhao Yun's eyes were cold, Pegasus was the first to kill, and the gentian bright silver spear flew like a raging storm, or swept or stabbed, just rushed into the crowd, he killed five or six Zhang soldiers, and the blood flew over the battle robe, making Zhao Yun look a little bloody. I saw Zhao Yun rushing over, and the gentian bright silver spear danced impenetrable, and all those who stood in the way were killed to death. And the team of all-colored cavalry that followed Zhao Yun closely behind, with the bloody path of Zhao Yun's killing, flew in, and the spear in his hand pierced all the way to the left or right, killing the soldiers of the Zhang army who lost their armor, screamed again and again, and had no power to fight back.
Between the lightning and flint, Zhao Yun killed Guan Yu's side, both of them looked at each other with strong murderous intent, as if they had collided with a series of violent sparks, the two seemed to tacitly settle for a game, and then the two of them attacked together, suddenly accelerated, two people and two horses, two weapons, swift and shadowless, fierce can crack the mountain, with an all-encompassing momentum, in the Zhang army crowd is a bloody and crazy killing. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, both came to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu heard a burst of miserable screams behind him, his face became darker and darker, and he suddenly heard the guards around him shouting urgently, saying that the green-robed and white-robed ones were about to be killed, and a cold air suddenly rushed from the soles of Zhang Xiu's feet to the Tianling cover! Zhang Xiu ordered the guards to block, while throwing the horsewhip fiercely, he sat down and the horse was covered with bloody wounds, and he was beaten into a violent state, and the speed continued to increase sharply, rushing straight to a forest road.
On both sides of the forest road, there are dense forests, Zhang Xiu flew over at the same time, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, the original anxious and uneasy mood suddenly dissipated, as long as he escaped here, then the situation would be different!
At this time, Zhang Xiu's cavalry army seemed to have been cut by a sky-breaking giant knife, as if it was separated in two. The rear section, because of the charge of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, as well as the soldiers and horses under his command, was scattered, and there was chaos, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun led the army to rush in the center of the formation, closely chasing the front part of the soldiers and horses where Zhang Xiu was.
As soon as Zhang Xiu led the army through the forest road, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun led the army to chase after the forest road, and between the gallops, suddenly countless bowstring vibrations sounded on both sides of the forest road, and one by one sharp arrows with cold light were shot intensively from both sides of the team.
Guan Yu glared at Dan Feng and shouted!
"There is an ambush!! Be careful to dodge!! ”
The thunder fell, Guan Yu quickly danced the Green Dragon Glaive, and the 1,800 Black Wind Riders under his command also swung their spears wildly, knocking down the many dark arrows on both sides. The Black Wind Cavalry is the first ace class under Wen Han's command, and has experienced countless battles, the original 3,000 iron cavalry, now there are only 1,800 people left, and the remaining 1,800 people are trained by one battle after another, whether it is the combat effectiveness of fighting with the enemy or the reaction and agility of self-preservation, they are all superb. I saw the first round of ambushes from the ambushes on both sides, except for the dozen Black Wind cavalry soldiers who shot and wounded, the rest of the Black Wind cavalry soldiers were uninjured. However, the soldiers led by Zhao Yun were not as elite as the Black Wind Cavalry, and at least four or five hundred people were killed or wounded. If it weren't for Guan Yu's timely reminder, the number of dead and injured might have been even higher!
At this time, Zhang Xiuyi, who was at the exit of the forest road, quickly regrouped the formation, Zhang Xiu's eyes were full of evil light, and he led the army to kill with a tiger's head and golden gun. At the same time, Hu Che'er, who was in the woods on the road, shouted loudly and ordered a second round of fire to be fired at the 5,000 crossbowmen.
The rain of arrows flew in, and Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and a group of soldiers under his command waved their weapons desperately, and the fatal arrows were under their crotches. The sound of the violent collision of knives and guns and arrows was endless, and from time to time there was the sound of arrows piercing the flesh, as well as screams of pain. The second round of arrows was exhausted, and the Black Wind Cavalry injured more than a dozen people, and Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses were killed or wounded about three or four hundred people.
