Volume 3 Discussion of Dong Chao World Chapter 35 The Battle of Pinyang - Breakthrough
No matter how unbearable he was, Xiang Ao finally agreed to Hengdian's suggestion and prepared to break through and let the Yulin Army be behind.
It was night, and the silence of Pinyang City made the people and soldiers in the city a little uneasy. There seemed to be a lingering haze in the sky over Pinyang City, so that the silver-white moonlight in the middle of the night failed to spill into Pinyang City. Occasionally, vultures or eagles pass by in the night sky, and their long mournful voices seem to be chanting for the dying so that they may not be haunted by the decaying corpses after the war.
In the Lu Bu military camp outside Pinyang City, tens of thousands of war horses were restless for some reason, restlessly playing their front hooves. There was an irregular sound of horses' hooves clattering in his ears, which made Lu Bu frown slightly.
Are you going to break through? Lu Bu stood on the gate of the camp, looking at Pinyang City twenty miles away, and after secretly arguing, he turned his back to Zhang Liao behind him and said softly: "Order the army to prepare and prepare to meet the enemy!" β
Facing the enemy? Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Lord, how to meet the enemy?" β
"The cavalry and horses under Ben Hou's command are all BMW horses, but they are so anxious in such a quiet night, it is either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster!" Lu Bu said slowly, and did not turn around: "The natural disaster is gone, it is only the 'man-made disaster' in Pinyang City twenty miles away." Tonight, the army in Pinyang City will definitely break through. β
When Zhang Liao heard this, he was stunned again. However, Zhang Liao did not question Lu Bu's judgment, and he didn't understand why Xiang Ao wanted to break through in the middle of the night. Zhang Liao, who had no result of his search, didn't think much about it, left Lu Bu, ran towards the center of the camp, and issued a military order.
At this time, among the mansions in Pinyang City, the generals of Xiang Aojun were discussing with solemn faces.
"Lord, the war horse soldiers are ready to break through at any time."
Xiang Ao nodded and said, "Order the people of the whole city to close the door and not go out." β
"My lord, even if our military situation is in danger, we must not ignore the people." Zhao Yunsheng, who was puzzled, was afraid that Xiang Ao would be confused, so he hurriedly came out to persuade him: "The lord treats the people with benevolence and virtue, so that the Northern Regions have prospered so far." If you give up the people in the city today, how will you explain to the people of the world in the future? β
Xiang Ao was not annoyed, and chuckled: "Zilong is worried. The people are not only the cornerstone of my Northern Regions, but also the cornerstone of other princes, and Dong Zhuo is no exception. β
"Dong Zhuo is the imperial master, if he ignores the people, let alone the people of the world, even the ministers of the court and the central government will not agree." Xiang Ao gently patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and comforted: "Our army can leave a day's grain and grass, and the rest of the grain and grass will be distributed to the people." When our army withdraws from Pinyang, Dong Zhuo will definitely send people to collect the people. β
When Zhao Yun and the other generals heard this, they suddenly realized, and there was no longer resistance in their hearts.
"The general is benevolent, the luck of the Han Dynasty, and the blessing of the people!" After Hengdian came out of the list of praises, he clenched his fists and said sonorously: "General, the Yulin Army is ready to fight with Dong Thief!" β
Although Xiang Ao had agreed to Hengdian's suggestion, he still didn't let go of his heart, so he had to pat Hengdian who was covered in dark armor with a calm face, and nodded emphatically. The generals in the tent also looked at Hengdian solemnly and saluted Hengdian with the most respectful military salute. Hengdian smiled heartily and strode towards the outside of the tent.
"The whole army is on alert, and the time is there to break through!" Xiang Ao glanced at the back of Hengdian leaving, collected his mood, shouted loudly, and issued a military order.
"No!" The generals took the order and then left.
Why choose Sub-Time Breakout? It was not that Xiang Ao intended to catch Lu Bu off guard, but that Xiang Ao didn't dare to wait any longer, the grain and grass had bottomed out, and the more he delayed, the more worried Xiang Ao became. If you don't take advantage of the fact that the soldiers are still full of food and have the strength to fight again, when will you wait?
Got along with Lu Bu in the northern frontier for several months, and fought Xianbei together, Lu Bu's insight into the battlefield, Xiang Ao sighed to himself. The two armies were only separated by more than 20 miles, and as long as the army made any moves, Xiang Ao believed that Lu Bu would be able to see through it.
Xiang Ao didn't dare to despise the iron cavalry led by Lu Bu, and before breaking through, Xiang Ao didn't dare to expose his back to Lu Bu without scruples. For this reason, in desperation, Xiang Ao had to raise a large army to feint to attack LΓΌ Bu, and only after the Yulin army approached LΓΌ Bu's army that the formation was formed, did he dare to lead the remaining more than 30,000 troops to raid the Qiang cavalry.
"Boom..."The earthquake trembled, the horse's hooves roared, and the sound of Xiang Ao's cavalry galloping could be heard within a hundred miles.
Here it comes! Not only Lu Bu, but the entire army had such a voice in their hearts at the same time. The army had already lined up in front of the camp, and a group of soldiers calmed the somewhat restless war horses, waiting for Lu Bu's military orders.
Lu Bu was waiting for him, his face dark. Lu Bu straddled Chitu's back, caressed Chitu's horse neck with one hand, and raised dozens of catties of Fang Tianhalberd in his hand with the other.
"The whole army obeys the order and rushes! Kill! β
"Kill!" Lu Bu gave an order, and tens of thousands of cavalry slowly marched in an orderly manner in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came. The phalanxes, under the leadership of their respective generals, began to pick up speed. The sound of the tapping grew rapidly, and in less than a moment it was as neat as a drum, and the clatter mingled with the sound of the hooves of the enemy troops, who had not yet seen the sound.
More than ten miles, for the most elite cavalry in the world, it is just a blink of an eye. If you can fly into the sky and look down on the past through the night moonlight, the black, silver, and red Northern Regions Army and the pure black Bingzhou cavalry slowly collide together.
From a distance, they slowly collided, but in the battlefield, there was a constant roar, shouting and killing the sky.
Xiang Ao and Lu Bu, who have a very tacit understanding, both regard themselves as the vanguard and lead the troops in front. The two armies faced each other, and the two of them bore the brunt of the battle. The two of them shouted at the same time, as if they had seen the revenge of killing their father, their faces were fierce, and their eyes were bloodshot.
"Kill!" Lu Bu's red and black Fang Tian halberd and Xiang Ao's ink-colored spear mixed with gold thread were strangled together.
The guards behind the two also tacitly bypassed their generals, found their respective opponents, and fought around Xiang Ao and Lu Bu. Xiang Ao and Lu Bu's martial arts are similar, both of them are one force to ten meetings, and they are reckless with skills. The two of them collided with guns and halberds, or entwined and strangled to kill, making deadly moves and attacking each other's vital points. The battlefield fight is different from the heads-up before the battle, and the two will gather the terrifying momentum on weekdays to avoid hurting their own personal guards.
But even so, the momentum of the two talented people fighting each other was so shocking that the guards who were not too far away from the two subconsciously left into the distance. This causes the battlefield to become bizarre. In the center of the battlefield, only Xiang Ao and Lu Bu fought alone, coupled with the unconscious barrier of the guards, Xiang Ao and Lu Bu were already in a vacuum with a radius of twenty zhang, and no one dared to approach.
The battle formation formed by their own personal guards is also extraordinary, although it is not as devastating as the momentum of their own masters, but it also makes ordinary soldiers unable to approach. When you meet a soldier who happens to bump in, no matter which side you are, you will be strangled to death by the guards on both sides in an instant.
From a distance, the battlefield seemed to be extremely calm, but in the various battle formations, there were warriors who fell with hatred all the time. On the battlefield with a total of nearly 100,000 soldiers, no matter how well the main general and deputy general command, there will still be soldiers who are overwhelmed with murderous spirit under the chaos, actively or passively strangled by the chaotic army.
In such a big battle, Xiang Ao could only arrange for Zhao Yun, who was different from ordinary people, to command behind the battle. Compared with Xiang Ao's wild and contemptible style, Zhao Yun can always stay sober and clear in such a chaotic battlefield. According to Xiang Ao's previous instructions, when the battle between the enemy and us was the most intense, let the Imperial Forest Army of the rear army form an army formation and slowly advance towards the center of the battlefield.
Just when Lu Bu and Xiang Ao were fighting red-eyed, changes slowly took place in the center of the battlefield. An inconspicuous army and horses were inserted into the battlefield, neatly slashing and slashing the Bingzhou and Xiliang armies, and by the way, the soldiers of the Northern Regions were isolated from the battlefield one by one. The leader of this team of soldiers and horses is the general Hengdian of the Yulin Army.
"Wings for the country!"
"Like a forest! Kill! The shouts of 5,000 people made the entire chaotic battlefield stagnate.
"Bang!" At the same time as the shouting was remembered, Xiang Ao and Lu Bu collided with each other, and both of them shook away.
Feather Forest Army! Lu Bu was shocked in his heart, and his face changed greatly. At the same time, ignoring Xiang Ao, who was fighting with him in front of him, he slapped Chitu on the neck and shouted: "Formation, formation immediately!" Lu Bu shouted, rode his horse back more than ten zhang, fired several shots, forced Xiang Ao's soldiers and horses who were entangled with his personal guards, and led everyone back into the formation. Seeing this, Xiang Ao shook his stupid head violently to sober himself up.
Lu Bulu Fengxian, sure enough, almost forced himself to enter the mad demon posture again! Xiang Ao thought about it with palpitations, and no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat and evacuate to the east. The strategy that Xiang Ao had thought of before was to take advantage of the Yulin army to drag Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, raid the Qiang cavalry that had not yet reacted, and defeat the Qiang people with lightning speed and retreat to the east bank of Luoshui.
"Turn back and forth, raid the Qiang cavalry!" Xiang Ao ordered loudly, and led the guards to run from the side of the army and go around to the rear army. Xiang Ao's army came prepared, even though many soldiers were swayed by the momentum of the battlefield, but under the command and urging of the generals of various departments, Xiang Ao's army withdrew from the battlefield at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Lord, Xiang Ao fled eastward! If the pursuit is not in time, I am afraid that the 30,000 Qiang cavalry will be difficult to resist the elite Xiang Ao army! Wei Xu came to Lu Bu and anxiously reported the military situation.
"Chase? Hum! Lu Bu said with a fierce face: "Ah Xu, can you know who the soldiers and horses are forming in front of you?" β
"What kind of soldiers and horses?" Wei Xu was stunned for a moment, looking at the mixed arms in front of him, which was only about five thousand, and he was very puzzled. His lord is unparalleled in the world, even if he meets Xiang Ao, why is the five thousand soldiers and horses in front of him so solemn?
"The royal guards of the Han family, the Yulin Army!"
When Zhang Liao heard this, he frowned and said, "If it is really the Yulin Army, then..."
"How's that? It's just 5,000 soldiers. The last general has also heard rumors of Yulin, the head of the world's elite, even so? Are I afraid of the iron horsemen of the state? Without waiting for Zhang Liao to finish speaking, Wei Xu shouted disdainfully.
Lu Bu didn't care about Wei Xu's rudeness at this time, but stared closely at Xiliang and Bingzhou, who had not yet had time to evacuate before the battle, and said: "It's not difficult to kill Yulin, but the loss will make it difficult for Ben Hou to accept!" Seeing that Lu Bu was so solemn, Wei Xu also put away the contempt in his heart and stared at the Imperial Forest Army in front of him.
