Chapter 192: This time it depends on whether your life is big
Let's say that Xing Daorong found a suitable place for Shanliang to set up an ambush with confidence, and only waited for Li Tong to come. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info not long ago, I saw a large group of cavalry rushing in the direction of Canyang, and a sergeant who surrendered from Cao's army recognized it as Li Tong.
It turned out that Li Tong was always not very worried about Xu He along the way, and constantly sent people to secretly investigate Xu He's movements, and when he saw Xu He's continuous ambush, he put his mind at ease and waved his army south to kill Runan. Unexpectedly, sixty miles away from Runan, a sergeant suddenly came to report that Xu He was defeated by Hou Cheng and Xing Daorong, and he was also beheaded, Li Tong was furious, and immediately ordered Xiahou to return to the army, and he led the cavalry to gallop all the way, preparing to kill the rebel general Hou Cheng and Xing Daorong, and rob back thousands of surrendered soldiers.
Li Tong was galloping, suddenly a horn sounded on the mountain beam, and immediately fired random arrows, and hundreds of his cavalry fell off their horses in an instant, and were trampled to death by the hooves of the horses behind. The cavalry of the Cao army was well-equipped, and it was only a moment before they had time to react before they were shot so many people, and Li Tong immediately knew that there were ambushes.
Li Tong immediately gave the order, defended carefully, increased his speed, and quickly passed through this location.
After receiving the order, the cavalry of the Cao army did not care about the arrows that kept being shot, although people were constantly shot down, but compared with the beginning, it was reduced by half, and the arrows clanged on the knight's body, like rain hitting plantains, but it could not stop them from marching quickly, and only shot less than 1,000 people and horses when 5,000 men and horses passed. This is still Xing Daorong's method of ordering to shoot the horse first and then the person, which has some effect.
Seeing that Li Tong ignored himself and slapped his horse past, Xing Daorong was immediately shocked, could it be that he would attack Canyang with other horses? Beloved you feel here, Xing Daorong didn't dare to slack off, quickly withdrew the mountain beam, and hurried towards Canyang.
But after he had advanced ten miles, he only heard a "Kill!" "Before and after, they each rushed out a bunch of cavalry men and horses to attack their own men and horses, and the commander of Xing Dao Rong was mostly infantry and bows, where could he stop the cavalry, and it was a surprise attack, and he was scattered in an instant, and he fought separately, and the victorious division just now was immediately defeated.
Xing Daorong had never seen a big battle, and he was so upset by this rush that he couldn't contain his own people at all, so he could only lead hundreds of people to desperately gauze a bloody road.
Xing Daorong is also brave, and he was really killed by him, but unfortunately there are only dozens of hundreds of people behind him, and they are all injured.
Without waiting for Xing Daorong to flee, a general immediately flashed in front of him, wearing a black iron armor and holding a one-foot six-foot penang iron black gun, majestic, not who Li Tong was.
Li Tong shouted angrily: "Li Tong is here, the rats dare to sneak attack me, and offer their heads!" ”
Before the words fell, he had already raised a gun and stabbed Dao Rong directly.
Xing Daorong saw that Li Tong's gun was fierce and abnormal, obviously with superior arm strength, this shot was angry and shocking. I already know that I am invincible, but I can't dodge, and it is worth fighting to catch up.
Although Xing Daorong blocked it with all his might, he only pushed sideways and could dodge, but he already felt his arms numb, and he could barely hold the long knife. But Li Tong seemed to see his thoughts, this shot was not used for the old, and when he staggered by, he shot back and stabbed Dao Rong in the heart.
Maybe it was Xing Daorong's life that should not be extinguished, because his arms were numb from the shock, and the horse shook a little, and he almost fell off the horse immediately, and in a hurry, he had to save the horse's neck, but as a result, he actually let Li Tong stab him with a shot, and finally stabbed his left arm, directly tearing off a piece of meat, and the painful Xing Daorong almost fainted. He could only hold on to the horse's neck and let the horse escape with him from Li Tong's gun.
Li Tong was about to chase after him, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing, and the two roads in front of him were killing, and as soon as he entered the land of an arrow, the crossbowmen immediately released their arrows, and many cavalry were fighting, and five or six hundred people were shot in an instant.
The comers were Du Raid and Hou Cheng, Li Tong didn't know Du Raid, but he knew Hou Cheng, so he was about to step forward to meet him, but Du Raid and Hou Cheng obviously had no idea of fighting with him, and immediately responded with the arrows of another pair of crossbowmen, Li Tong returned in vain, and once again took the lives of hundreds of cavalrymen. Li Tong had no choice but to retreat, gather his men and fight again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Jingzhou sergeants who were scattered immediately moved closer to Du Xi and Hou Cheng and worked together to kill Li Tong.
Li Tong led the cavalry to charge and kill continuously, but Du Raid was not a punishment Daorong, although it was inevitable to lose many horses, but the formation was not chaotic, constantly shooting war horses and knights with bows and crossbows, or using spears to assassinate war horses, and then slashing knights in groups, so that Li Tong's men and horses continued to attrition.
Seeing that his men and horses were getting smaller and smaller, the enemy was really superior in numbers, so he could only retreat in anger and lead the remaining two thousand cavalry to withdraw. Du Xun did not chase after him, and immediately checked Xing Daorong's injuries, and saw that he had passed out, so he had to be sent to the city immediately for treatment, clean up the battlefield again, and count the people.
Through the counting, Xing Daorong brought the ambush of 5,000 men and horses, only more than 1,000 people remained, and the rest were all killed, and he and Hou Cheng and Li Tong were killed, under the impact of the early cavalry, they also lost 1,500 people, plus the loss of 6,000 men and horses when besieging Xu He, and wiped out the advantage of the big victory over Xu He. He also seriously injured Xing Daorong, which can be described as a heavy loss.
Fortunately, Li Tong's 3,000 cavalry were killed, Xu He's 10,000 horses were destroyed, and more than 1,000 war horses were collected.
In addition, dragging Li Tong greatly reduced Zhao Yun's pressure, which can be regarded as good news.
Du Xi and Hou Cheng collected their troops and returned to Canyang, while Li Tong returned to join forces with Xiahou Cheng, and 17,000 men and horses camped twenty miles outside Runan City to threaten Zhao Yun's army.
Zhao Yun looked at Li Tong's camp on the arrow tower from the twenty-mile field, stared at it for a long time, and said to the herald after getting off the tower: "Quickly send an order to General Wei Yan, and arrive at Runan City at noon in three days to flank Li Tong!" Another order was ordered to Du to attack, and he should pay attention to Shangcai's movements, and after Shangcai's people left the city, he quickly took down Shangcai, and there must be no mistake! ”
The herald immediately took the order and left, Zhao Yun turned his head and smiled faintly in the direction of Li Tong's military camp in the west, and said softly: "Li Tong, this time it depends on whether your life is big!" ”
Li Tong did not send troops, not because he didn't want to, but after this defeat, his men and horses have shrunk significantly, and there are many wounded soldiers.
But Lu Zhao did not relax at all because of Li Tong's arrival, but became more tired. Zhao Yun was constantly harassed, and there seemed to be no sign of engineering, but if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be shot and killed, and all of them were attacked by the school team, even if he failed, it would not affect the strength of Zhao Yun's army. On two occasions, if he was a little careless, he was almost climbed up to the top of the city by a small group of men and horses at night, but fortunately, every time he made a quick attack, he let the small group of men and horses throw down twenty or thirty corpses and leave, but his own side always suffered four or five hundred casualties.
