Chapter 5 Towards Reunification Section 9 Siege
The rangers have always been under the command of Zhao Yun, and since they were dispatched, Zhao Yun did not give in, and led the cavalry to rush down the hill with a slight bow.
Yu Fuluo heard the sound of the military horn on the mountain from a distance, his heart sank, he turned his face to look at Cai Yan (Cai Zhaoji) beside him, and with a ruthless heart, he snatched the child in Cai Yan's arms, sandwiched it in his elbow, and shouted: "Sons, there are war horses, where can I not find green grass?" If you have knives and guns, where can you not make a home? As long as our steppe sons are still there, my Huns will have the day to prosper again! Come, leave the women and children, leave the belongings, and let us hurry to the territory of the right Huns. Sons, there are many Han women, when we come back with troops, we can rob as many Han women as we want, as a wife or as a slave, hurry up and act, hurry up! â
Yu Fuluo's words opened the floodgates of killing, and the vicious Huns saw that the Han cavalry gradually chased in, their faces were full of viciousness, and they drew their war knives to cut down the Han girl on the horse, and then pulled the empty horse, while urging them to step off the war horse and flee into the distance. This group of elite Huns who regarded the robbery of the Han people as glory, and there were very few who could not bear to attack their wives and slaves. In an instant, in a sea of blood, only a handful of women were pushed off their horses and wept in the dirt......
Yu Fuluo looked at Cai Yan with a murderous face, raised the knife, and slowly put it down, if it was the third, his subordinates couldn't stand it, and urged: "Shan Yu, the enemy soldiers are approaching." â
Yu Fuluo gritted his teeth, picked up the knife, turned it slightly to the side, smashed the back of the knife on Cai Yan's head, knocked her off the horse, and then pulled the reins of the empty horse and urged the horse away.
The Qingzhou soldiers rushed to see this bloody . When the scene was stunned, several bleeding women weakly begged for help in Chinese: "Help me, relatives, save me!" â
Tears poured out, and Qingzhou soldiers burst into tears. His face was full and his shoulders twitched silently, and his teeth were clucking.
Zhao Yun rushed to the scene, took a look at it, understood the reason for the matter, and then ordered: "What are you doing in a daze, no matter how strict the military order is, you need to be in a hurry, the first battalion will stay to rescue the wounded, and the rest of the people, follow me!" â
"Never forgive!" , the cavalry let out a roar of rage, waved his fists, and carried . Full of anger, bitter hatred, monstrous murderous intent, staring at blood-red eyes, leading bright swords and guns, Yu Fuluo who chased unrelentingly.
Blood for blood! An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!
The chase, it was a never-ending race. In the grassland chase battle, the Huns quickly fled in front of them with one man and two horses, or even one man and three horses. Zhao Yun's cavalry relied on high-quality bows and crossbows, biting the tail of the Hun soldiers to the death, and constantly shooting and killing the Hun soldiers who had fallen behind. Until the Fen River, in front of the shallows of the Fen River, Zhao Yun caught up with the Huns.
This shoal has long been marked on the map, because the West River has been Liu Bei. Xu gave his four major military divisions as fiefs, many unnamed places in this land have been engraved with the imprint of the four major military divisions, the upper reaches of the Fen River is the fief of Xu Shu, this shoal is the only strategic place in the upper reaches that can cross the river with horses, called: Xu Tan.
Zhao Yun knew where Xu Tan was, so . Insisted on chasing the Huns. The cavalry must slow down their horses if they want to cross the river, and for this reason, Yu Fuluo will definitely leave a team to temporarily resist the pursuers, buy time for the large army to cross the river, and eat this team, which can be regarded as a little hatred.
"No one can get away with it after slaughtering the Han people, capturing my women and children, and flouting my Izumo law!" Zhao Yun slowly urged the horse to approach the Hun soldiers who formed a formation on Xu Tan: "The white wolf tribe treacherously attacked my fat city, five years, they are still wandering on the grassland, from a large clan of more than 10,000 people to a small tribe of hundreds of people, they can't eat or sleep warmly, they are still the public enemy of the grassland, and everyone is beheaded." In the past five years, they have been hiding and not daring to see people, and the lessons of the previous car are not far away, and the Huns still dare to offend my strong man, do you think that my knife is not good? â
A man who looked like a Xiongnu patriarch replied loudly: "Han general, Xihe is a place for your emperor to give our clan a place to raise horses, you enter Xihe without authorization and attack our clan, aren't you afraid that your emperor will blame?" â
Zhao Yun was silent, and when the patriarch saw this, he continued: "Han Nu is the trophy of our warriors, and it is a symbol of the honor of the warrior gate. When our people plundered, you didn't do anything, and after the battle, you demanded the booty from our people, how did you respect the customs of our people? â
Zhao Yun burst out laughing and laughed at himself: "That's it, what's wrong with me today?" How can you reason with the robbers, brothers, have you rested? Array, ready to charge! â
The truth exists within the range of the bow and arrow, without the protection of the bow and arrow, and reasoning with others is the same as the chicken.
"Attack!", Zhao Yun waved his hand, and the cuirassiers divided into two teams, swimming diagonally towards the two wings of the Huns, pouring arrows as they walked. The Rangers stopped in front of them, coldly monitoring the battle.
The Hun cavalry, which lacked armor protection, was pierced by sharp arrows in their thin leather armor, and this rain of arrows caused heavy casualties to the Hun soldiers. The unbearable Hun soldiers roared angrily: "Left and right are dead, brothers, fight with them!" Immediately, with swords, spears and halberds, he rushed towards the rangers in front.
Zhao Yun smiled faintly, waved his hand and ordered: "Retreat and let them come." â
The land on the river beach was soft, which was not conducive to cavalry charges. The soldiers of Izumo in Qingzhou all rode improved war horses, the horses themselves were thick bones, and with armor, it was definitely unfavorable to fight with the lightly armed Hun soldiers on the river beach, Zhao Yun's various arrangements were to lure out the enemy horses, and when they saw the enemy coming out in the air, of course they were willing to satisfy their dying wishes and make room for them on the battlefield.
Cavalry engagement, due to the large body of the war horse, each cavalry occupies more space than the infantry, so the smallest unit of cavalry formation is the army. The Ranger is a class of troops specially formed for horse fighting, and the daily training is that the five people cooperate with each other to echo each other, separate the external enemy, and surround and kill the enemy at hand. The Hun soldiers did not have such an organization, and they immediately fought with each other spontaneously by virtue of talent. After Zhao Yun retreated, the Huns scattered the cavalry spacing in the pursuit, and at this time, Zhao Yun whistled and raised his spear and inserted it into the gap between the Hun queues.
"Never forgive!" , Zhao Yun turned around to avoid the halberd of a Hun soldier, the spear lightning out, pierced into the ribs of the Hun soldier, and with a slight effort, the Hun soldier flew into the sky with his hands dancing.
"Kill them all!" , the rangers roared and rushed into the ranks of the Huns.
You Ge was on the periphery of the battle circle, Zhao Yun calmly controlled the battle situation, and seeing him so leisurely, the three Hun soldiers shouted wildly and rushed towards Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun gently took the reins of the horse, and in the hustle and bustle of the battle, the white dragon horse took small steps unhurriedly, flashed lightly, and suddenly jumped, and escaped from the siege of the Hun soldiers.
The silver light flickered, and the spear in Zhao Yun's hand was withdrawn from the left side with blood stains, and then flashed, and a blood flower appeared behind the shoulder of the Hun soldier on the right.
That's how your hands are like dragons.
The white dragon horse suddenly jumped and chased after the remnants of the Hun soldier, Zhao Yun elegantly reached out his spear, and with the help of the impact of the white dragon horse, he pierced the other party to the ground with his men and horses.
The next moment, Zhao Yun's figure suddenly appeared beside a fierce ranger, the spear poked out from the ranger's ribs, and when the ranger rushed forward, the spear drilled into his chest in the stunned of the Hun soldiers.
"Sneak attack? No...... Hero ......" The Hun cavalry made an intermittent voice of resentment, gradually falling, and in the corner of his eye, Zhao Yun's white figure had appeared in the next battle scene.
Walking around the battlefield in small steps, the white dragon horse seemed to be the controller of the battlefield, and Zhao Yun, who was sitting on the horse with a bloody spear, made the whole battle like a gorgeous dressage performance. The white figure flickered and stopped, rose and fell, always appearing in the fiercest battle circles, and as long as he appeared, all battles were one.
What does it mean to be ruthless to the end - brandishing knives and guns like madness, fighting one after another, that is the hand commanding the brain. Only by not being in a hurry, having a clear eye, orderly and rhythmic continuous "four haves" killing, and even maintaining an elegant demeanor while killing, that kind of polite killing can make people feel that the other party's heart is cast of iron and stone, and it is a well-trained professional cold-bloodedness, which makes people feel cold from the bones, as if the yin wind blowing from the depths of the nine shadows blows on the body, making people feel bold.
At this moment, Zhao Yun is the most ferocious demon in the world in the eyes of the Huns.
Three days later, Cai Yan, who was transported by fast horse, was sent to Zishi City, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Liu Bei's excited face had already stretched into the carriage: "Zhaoji, after many years, are you okay?" â
When Cai Zhaoji heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears and cried loudly.
For many years, in the hands of the Huns, the sorrow of the Han people has become a luxury, and now they can finally let go of their hearts and cry loudly, and Cai Zhaoji cries comfortably.
"Zhao Ji, don't be afraid, you are home, with me Liu Bei here, who in the world will dare to bully you?" Liu Bei looked at Cai Zhaoji's tragic situation in pain, couldn't help but be sad and angry, took Zhaoji in his arms, and tears fell silently.
Cai Yan's crying didn't stop until the evening, and as soon as she stopped crying, Liu Bei's words made her happy and sad.
"Zhaoji, you are in the Hun camp, have you ever seen Miss Yan'er, Miss Yan'er was robbed before you, do you know, which branch of Miss Yan'er was robbed?"
A woman's heart, a needle at the bottom of the sea. Thinking that Liu Bei did not hesitate to launch wars for years because of his friendship with Zhang Yan'er, Cai Yan felt faint jealousy in his heart.
"I heard that Yan'er was robbed by Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers, and among them there are a small number of cavalry of the Liangzhou Di clan and the Xianbei tribe in Liaoxi, alas, I don't know where Yan'er has gone?" Touching the scene, Cai Yan couldn't help but cry without tears.
"Lu Bu?" There was a fierce murderous intent in Liu Bei's eyes.
LĂź Ding Dong Bu (LĂź Bu) couldn't stay with Yuan Shu two years ago, and took refuge in his fellow countryman, Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang, because LĂź Bu was on Dong Zhuo's side when he was courting Dong Zhuo's alliance, so some of Zhang Yang's generals had opinions on LĂź Bu.
LĂź Bu felt very uncomfortable staying here, and later, Liu Bei inquired about the movements of this enemy who killed Zhang Wen, and LĂź Ding Dong Bu tried Zhang Yang and said: "If you want to kill me, send my head to Chang'an to receive the reward." Or, how about you tie me up to Liu Bei in exchange for his kindness? â
Zhang Yang is a person who is extremely righteous towards his friends, at that time, he had directly shown Liu Bei his intention to protect, at this moment, he did not directly explain his true heart to Lu Bu, but patted his thigh and said humorously: "You are very right!" â
Lu Bu, who was frightened by the bow bird, couldn't distinguish what Zhang Yang teased him, so he immediately said goodbye and wanted to defect to Cao Cao. It's a pity that Cao Cao was in the honeymoon period with Liu Bei at that time, and Cao Cao, who was holding Liu Bei's ordnance to reorganize the army, didn't want to annoy Liu Bei at this time, and categorically rejected Lu Ding Dong Bu's allegiance. With no way out, he came to Hanoi again to join Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang didn't care about his farewell last time, and received him warmly.
"Now that the target is clear, everyone, prepare to adjust the direction of the attack. Zitai (Tian Chou), sent a letter to Zhang Yang, asking him to send Lu Ding Dong Bu to Yecheng, I have something to ask him. If he does not hand over LĂź Ding Dong Bu, he will be the next enemy of our army. Liu Bei added coldly: "Also, the rear army has plundered enough in the past few days, and I order them to gather their ranks and prepare to accept new orders." â
Xu Shu glanced at Cai Yan, lowered his head and said stubbornly: "Lord, Qingzhou is changing rapidly, and you need to return to the army quickly." The robbery and killing of the rear army, out of the heart of long-term peace and stability, should continue to be supported, how can it be restrained at a critical moment. This order is not acceptable, Miss Cai has found it, please ask the lord to order to return to the army immediately. â
Cai Zhaoji was shocked, and when she heard that Liu Bei was planning to raise troops again, she persuaded and explained: "Xuande, the sage said: Although the country is big, it will die if it is warlike." Now that the Huns are far away, even if there is a change in Qingzhou, why not stop the army? â
Liu Bei smiled dumbly, and Cai Zhaoji's original comment came to his mind: "The book needs to be read again......"
"Miss Cai, 'although the country is big, the belligerent will perish', these words are coaxed by the conquerors to the conquerors, in fact, no conqueror has been deceived by these words, and the final outcome is: the conquered have to coax themselves with these words", Liu Bei Zhengse said: "There is no empire in the world that can be eternal. The word eternal belongs to God, not to man. Therefore, the fate of doom in the end does not prevent people from pushing the civilization of the nation to greatness by their own strength. â
The Greek civilization, which was fond of expansion, continued to expand for 2,000 years; The Roman Empire, which was fond of conquest, lasted for more than 1,000 years; Chinese dynasties that are not easy to conquer, how long did each dynasty last? History has proven an immutable law: a civilization can grow and thrive because there are strong imperial ideals and conquests within it. And once these ideals and ** disappear, the entire civilization will dry up and die.
Conquer or be conquered, this is the law of survival of all civilizations.
"Although the country is big, the belligerent will perish" is the essence of Confucianism's rule of virtue and benevolence and righteousness. However, in the more than 2,000 years of Chinese history, Confucianism has never been the mainstream. Throughout history, for more than 2,000 years since the end of Confucianism, what occupies most of the long river of history is the history of our nation being conquered and enslaved - 600 years of Wuhu chaos, 300 years of Manchu rule, 100 years of Yuan Dynasty, and more than 200 years of confrontation between the Song and Hu people. Among them, there is only a short-lived Han dynasty - as long as this dynasty is armed with Confucianism, it will immediately bring the fate of destroying the country, more than 2,000 years, without exception.
Isn't what more than 2,000 years have proven enough? What else is there to talk about: "Although the country is big, the belligerent will perish"?
Liu Bei said resolutely: "Miss Cai has been tired all the way, I will send you back to Qingzhou, stay with Ying'er for a few days, and talk about the future." â
Mount Tai Juping, Cao Cao stood at the head of the city, looking at the approaching Qingzhou soldiers with a gloomy face.
Three days ago, Xiahoudun who was sent to attack the Qingzhou soldiers of Liangfu Mountain on the East Road returned without success, and Guan Hai, the commander of the Qingzhou soldiers on the East Road, followed Liu Bei for a long time, and the arrangement of troops was extremely stable. Fortunately, Guan Hai was too steady and did not push him too much, and Xiahoudun was able to retreat with his whole body. Today, the Qingzhou soldiers completed the encirclement, and the army began to prepare for the siege.
In the distance, a loud military horn sounded, and Yu Ban listened attentively, and said: "I have heard a similar sound horn under the Tiger Prison Pass, which seems to be summoning the shield soldiers to come forward." â
Sure enough, as if to prove what Yu Ban said, a row of shield soldiers set up a neat shield wall, and slowly approached the city wall with the beat of drums......
