Chapter 250: The Battle of Hewu Ends

On the other side, Li Dian ran out for only two miles, and saw Zhang Fei and the enemy fighting together, and immediately ordered the whole army to turn back, and the army was divided into two, and the rumbling horses' hooves immediately killed the two wings of the Qiang soldiers in the melee.

Two miles was only a blink of an eye for the cavalry, and soon the cavalry on both wings reached the charging position.

"Kill ......" Li Dian gave an order, and thousands of cavalry slaughtered from the left and right at high speed to the battlefield.

"General...... "Mi Hui's lieutenant hurriedly shouted to Mi Hui, who had already killed Zhang Fei, "We have been tricked, what should we do now?" ”

Mi Hui turned a deaf ear to the lieutenant's words, he just roared again and again and stabbed the gun in his hand at Zhang Fei......

The adjutant general had no choice but to temporarily replace Mi Hui and ordered the division of troops to meet the attack.

At this time, the Qiang soldiers were already attacked on three sides, and the advantage of strength also fell on the side of the Yizhou army, and the speed that made the Qiang soldiers proud was also unable to play because of the containment of the Yizhou infantry, so that the adjutant general ordered the division of troops to meet the attack, but only three or four hundred people went through hardships to get rid of the Yizhou infantry and leave the chaotic battlefield to meet the battle Li Dianbu.

One-on-one, the Yizhou cavalry is indeed not the enemy of the Qiang people, these people who grew up on horseback are born to be the best cavalry, and the source of soldiers is mostly the Yizhou cavalry who has lived on agriculture for generations in Yijing Erzhou has an absolute advantage, but the current situation is that the Yizhou cavalry is ten enemies and one, and the Qiang soldiers suddenly feel that they are in an ambush on all sides, and hundreds of horsemen are slaughtered in less than two quarters of an hour.

The adjutant general understood that there was no hope in this battle, and while organizing the soldiers to hold on, he shouted at Mihui, hoping that he could calm down and make a decision.

The deputy general's efforts were not in vain, or Zhang Fei's efforts were not in vain, when the two fought nearly lily, Mi Hui gradually fell into the wind, Zhang Fei was more and more courageous, and the reality of being defeated made Mi Hui suddenly calm down, and then he heard the shouts of the deputy general, and then naturally noticed the situation on the battlefield, he was also a veteran soldier who had been on the battlefield for nearly ten years, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that the whole army would be annihilated, and he had to make the first and should be the last order to escape since he joined the army.

After the deputy general received the order, he immediately ordered more than ten Qiang soldiers to intercept Zhang Fei so that Mihui could evacuate. Mi Hui took the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Fei, so he used himself as an arrow and led his troops to the rear to fight and retreat. Zhang Fei saw that killing Mihui was in the blink of an eye, but was blocked by more than a dozen small soldiers, killing more than a dozen small soldiers and killing the enemy generals was familiar with it at a glance, and he was so angry that he scolded "no guts rat ......" and wanted to kill the enemy soldiers and continue to pursue Mihui, but these dozen Qiang soldiers were Mihui's personal soldiers, not to mention loyalty, and their combat power was also quite good, and Zhang Fei failed to break through their interception for a while.

Seeing that the enemy wanted to escape, Li Dian immediately thought of the insult he had suffered before, and a "shameful" order made thousands of soldiers of the First Cavalry Brigade hate the enemy and angrily pressed up.

The Qiang cavalry is indeed one of the most powerful cavalry in this era, although the five thousand elite cavalry killed heavily, nearly half of them still fought out of the encirclement, Li Dian did not allow the enemy to escape, a shout, thousands of cavalry chased after him.

Zhang Fei saw that the enemy was protruding from the encirclement, and knew that he would not be able to catch up with his two feet no matter what, so he had to command the soldiers to encircle and suppress the more than 100 Qiang soldiers who were surrounded.

More than 100 Qiang soldiers faced more than 2,000 tigers and wolves, and their destruction was a foregone conclusion, so there was no need to say more, except that Li Dian led his troops to pursue and chased out four or five miles, and a sudden situation made his hope of annihilating the enemy army in vain. It turned out that the physical strength of the war horses that had galloped for most of the day had been seriously overdrawn, and in the end, more than a dozen war horses had been killed, although the others were still advancing, but the pace had become very slow, and the steps had become staggering. Li Dian understood that if he didn't catch up with the enemy any longer, all the horses on his side would be exhausted, and he had to order the army to be collected with unwillingness, and sit back and watch the enemy flee his sight.

Mihui's situation was also not good, the Qiang people's war horses were also tired for most of the day, and the physical wear and tear was also very serious, when Li Dian ordered to stop advancing, he only led his troops to run less than three miles, so he had to order the soldiers to dismount and lead the mounts to advance slowly.

"General, where are we going now?" The adjutant general stepped forward and asked.

"Where else can you go? Go back to Hewu! The fiasco in the hands of the Yizhou army made Mi Hui feel deeply humiliated, and the deputy general happened to hit the muzzle of the gun at this time, and he immediately scolded angrily.

The deputy general knew that Mihui was in a bad mood, but he still stepped forward loyally and said, "General, in the opinion of the last general, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to Yiwu?" ”

"What can't you go back to? Aren't you scared out of the Yizhou people? Mihui shouted.

"General, what the last general means, I'm afraid the situation in Yiwu is not good, general, think about it, the Yizhou army has not solved Xu Rong so much, how can it dare to divide troops to meet the enemy cavalry? Once Xu Rong is eliminated, there will be no leader in Yiwu County, and there will be a huge disparity in manpower, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop the enemy. ”

Mi Hui said: "How is it possible, Xu Rong has 40,000 people, and his kung fu is gone in half a day?" It's not that easy to kill sheep, is it? ”

"The last general thinks it's possible, otherwise he can't explain why that enemy infantry is here!"

"You have a point, in your opinion, where should we go at this moment?"

"The last general thinks that at this time, there is only one way to find the young master in martial arts!"

"Young master......" Mi Hui looked at the only two thousand horsemen beside him, and said bitterly: "What face do I have to meet the young master!" ”

"General, the Han people have a saying that 'stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood', as long as we are alive, we will always be ashamed in the future!"

"Okay, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to martial arts like this, if Hewu hadn't lost, Dong Zhuo would have been guilty of desertion, you should know that Dong Zhuo has always been wary of us, and has never given up any opportunity to weaken the strength of our Qiang people. Once Hewu is really fine, I'm afraid the young master won't be able to save us, so I thought that if I didn't leave in such a hurry, I should send someone to Hewu to investigate the situation first, and it would not be too late to make plans after the situation was known! ”

The adjutant general hurriedly praised: "General Gaojian." ”

Mi Hui immediately sent twenty Qiang soldiers to investigate the situation in four ways, while the others rested on the spot.

In the evening, the spies came back one after another, and the news they brought back was the same, Xu Rong committed suicide in defeat, Dong Min was killed, Yiwu hung up the Yizhou flag, Mi Hui did not hesitate anymore, and led his troops to go to martial arts.

At the same time, Yiwu was holding a grand celebration banquet, although there was no wine at the banquet to make Zhang Fei and others a little regretful, but the atmosphere was still warm. For nothing else, they defeated Xu Rong in only one day with a force slightly lower than that of their opponents, killing 14,000 people, including Dong Min and Xu Rong, and capturing 34,000 people (the remaining troops in Yiwu were captured alive because of Dong Min's people, and finally all gave up resistance), and conquered Dongzhuo, which he boasted that he could hold for three years. In addition, nearly 10,000 people of the Dong clan (most of them were Dong slaves) were captured, and the gold, silver, grain, weapons and various materials seized after the seizure of the Dong family's property were extremely large, and the preparation figures could not be counted, and it was roughly estimated that gold and silver alone could support Liu Zhang's financial expenditure for three years in the entire territory, and the grain and grass could be used for more than one year for the Northern Expeditionary Army, enough to arm 50,000 elite full sets of equipment, in addition to countless leather, pig iron, and salt, the most exciting thing for everyone was that Dong Zhuo built a large military horse farm outside the horse, there are nearly 50,000 large and small horses in the horse farm, since he knew that Wei Yan sneak attack on Sanguan succeeded, in order to prevent the army horse farm from plundering the opponent, Dong Zhuo ordered it all to move into the outer city, this time the Wuwu was taken bloodlessly, these war horses naturally became trophies, plus the battlefield captured, the battle Yizhou army got a total of nearly 60,000 horses. 60,000 high-quality horses, you can wake up if you think about it, and in addition to the stallions and foals, Yizhou can form a cavalry force of 40,000 again at any time, of course, provided that Yizhou has qualified riders.

In this battle, the Yizhou army also suffered great casualties, a total of more than 4,000 people were killed, 3,700 were lightly and seriously wounded, and the casualties mainly came from Mihui's Qiang cavalry, which is also the reason why Zhang Fei and Li Dian had a bad face at the entire celebration banquet, because the Qiang people who brought a heavy blow to their side escaped from them!

Before the celebration banquet began, Chen Gong had ordered someone to report the battle, results, and losses in duplicate to Liu Zhang and Wei Yan respectively.

The most dazzling thing at the celebration banquet was Chen Gong, and it was his careful planning that led to this big victory. Looking at the unbridled laughing generals, he was also secretly excited in his heart, he was rich in five cars, he went out several times but suffered setbacks, he was full of talent but had nowhere to show, just in response to the sentence "Misfortune and fortune rely on", after the defeat of the rebellion, he sighed that although the world is big, but there is no place to live, he received Liu Zhang's kind invitation to join the Yizhou Army, but he did not expect to usher in a glorious moment of life.

Another person at the banquet was not Xu Chu, not Dian Wei, nor Zhang Fei, Yonghong, Li Dian any of them, this person was unknown in the Yizhou army of famous generals before this, almost no one had heard of his name, but from today on, his name is destined to be famous all over the world, his name is Liu Yan, the word Weishuo, a native of Yuzhou Luguo, who was put into Liu Zhang's command when he was in the princes' alliance, and was later incorporated into the Tiger Guard Division, and was promoted to the captain of the Tiger Guard Division, the official residence lieutenant colonel, holding two thousand elites. It was this Liu Yan who, after defeating Dong Min, used Dong Min as bait to open the dock and captured this strong fortress without blood.

Liu Zhang, who is familiar with history, knows this Liu Yan's experience very well, in history, Liu Bei served as the pastor of Yuzhou, Liu Bei, and then followed Liu Bei into Shu, successively served as Guling County Taishou, Hou General, Wei Wei, Zhongjun Division, Che Cavalry General and other positions, it can be said that he is a high power, deeply trusted, but he is paranoid and aggressive, pay attention to pleasure, and then finally take his own trouble, Shu Han Hou Lord Jianxing 12 years, because of the suspicion that his wife was in the Hou Lord Liu Chan had an affair and was convicted, was beheaded and abandoned the city.

Although Liu Yan has flaws in his character, he is also very talented, Liu Zhang knows the truth that no one is perfect, so he treats Liu Yan with a normal heart, that is, he does not make an exception to appoint, nor does he wantonly suppress, everything is as fate as. He didn't disappoint Liu Zhang, he really made a great contribution when he was not visible on weekdays......

"Come, come, come, let's replace wine with tea and toast a glass of Weishuo......" Chen Gong raised his glass and said.

Zhang Fei said: "It should be, if it weren't for Weishuo's cleverness, I'm afraid that even if we defeat Xu Rong, we will still not be able to enter the Wuwu ...... in the short term."

Everyone nodded yes, Liu Yan had the lowest official position, and he didn't even dare to say it in his mouth, all thanks to Chen Gong's wise decision-making, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei and other brave and fearless people.

After drinking the tea in the cup, Dian Wei said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. is too stingy, we fought such a big victory, there is not even a drop of wine at this celebration banquet, let's talk about it, there is no wine, what is it called?" ”

Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, and Yonghong hurriedly echoed.

Chen Gong said: "Yes, we have won a big victory, but we can't be complacent because of this, let alone have a little relaxation, you need to know that the lord's situation is still not good." I have decided that as soon as the sky is bright tomorrow, I will immediately lead my troops to the martial arts to support the lord. The wine is more and more mellow the longer, everyone waits, and after defeating Dong Zhuo completely, can the lord still be without everyone's wine? I'm afraid that everyone will only be distressed by the time, and there will be too much wine to bear! ”

Speaking of rescuing Liu Zhang, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

Chen Gong said: "Although there is no wine, there are many of these delicacies, everyone opens their stomachs, and they eat as much as they want!" ”

"Good ......," everyone praised.

There was no wine, so everyone just stuffed food into their mouths, and it didn't take long for their stomachs to fill, and the celebration feast was over.

Early in the morning of this day, Chen Gong led Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Li Dian and 8,000 soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division and the rest of the 1st Independent Cavalry Brigade of 4,000 cavalry to Wugong. Yiwu and Yixian were handed over to Yonghong and his 15th Division for defense, while the troops directly under the First Army Corps brought by Zhang Fei to Yixian remained in Yiwu to assist Yonghong.
