Text 75. Yuan Xi shot
The Xianbei army saw that the combined forces of Zhao Yun and Lou Ban were losing and retreating, and they were very proud in their hearts, as long as they eliminated this cavalry team of the Han army, the Han army would no longer be able to chase after them, and the time for their own counterattack would come. Yuan Xi led the army to meet Zhao Yun and Lou Ban, Kirby could see the arrival of Youzhou reinforcements, and also stopped pursuing Zhao Yun, but this time he did not withdraw after winning as before.
Kirby can look at the leader of this Han army, this person is wearing white armor, mighty, seeing his army beside him, his demeanor is calm, thinking that it is Yuan Xi, the assassin of Youzhou. Kirby was able to try to ask: "The person who came is Yuan Xi, the assassin of Youzhou, I, Kirby, can have no grievances with you, why did I raise troops to attack my Xianbei?" ”
Yuan Xi also saw Kirby Neng for the first time, this person is tall, with a full beard, especially those sharp eyes, he is not a good kind at first glance, if he is not eliminated early, he will become a disaster in the future. Yuan Xi secretly thought about how to prevent Kirby from escaping, thought for a while, and stimulated Kirby to say: "If it weren't for Xianbei's intention to invade my Han, why would I spend so much energy chasing more than a hundred miles?" If you hand over the culprit of the Tuoba family to me to deal with, Kirby can also learn from Lou Ban Shan to submit to my Han like that, and this general will not be guilty of the past, and he can spare your Xianbei whole clan. ”
Tuoba Yu was afraid that Kirby would be able to sacrifice himself to Yuan Xi, and he wanted to persuade Kirby. Kirby Neng laughed and said: "Yuan Tingshi really dares to think, now that I have been defeated repeatedly, and I am asked to betray my brother and bow down to you, it is simply delusional, even in normal times, I Kirby can and will never betray the people!" ”
Yuan Xi looked at Kirby's resolute attitude, and knew that this person was good at buying people's hearts, the Tuoba Yu family was strong, and the clan was all brave and ruthless. Yuan Xi had already sent Zhang Jaw and Tian Yu to attack the base camp in the rear of Xianbei, and in order to drag down Kirby Neng, he sent a war letter to Kirby Neng: "Since Kirby Neng is not willing to surrender, then we can only see you on the battlefield." Can Kirby defeat my Karasuma cavalry first, and defeat my eldest brother's Qingzhou soldiers, can you dare me to fight head-on? ”
Kirby can secretly think, the most elite cavalry under Yuan Xi is not his opponent, now it is only the number of troops that is superior, and the morale is far inferior to himself, looking at the morale of the Xianbei army behind him, he said confidently: "Why don't you dare, I want to see how strong the rumored invincible Yuan Xi is!" ”
With a wave of his hand, Yuan Xi ordered Zhao Yun and Lou Ban's teams to line up on both sides, with the trapping camp led by Gao Shun lined up in front of the formation. This trapping camp is not the one under Lu Bu originally, it was formed by Yuan Xi's specially selected elites of the Youzhou army, a total of 8,000 people, two people in the front row, one with a shield and one with a spear, a total of 4,000 people; There were 2,000 longbowmen and 2,000 crossbowmen in the back row, and it was a multi-arm team specially designed to restrain cavalry. The neat slogan of the trapped camp sounded: The will to be trapped in the battle, there is death and no life. The resolute expressions of the soldiers in the trapped camp and the momentum of destroying the world made the Xianbei cavalry stop and the pressure was unprecedented. Although there were only 8,000 people in the trapped camp, each of them had the momentum of being an elite ace, and they gradually advanced towards the Xianbei army, without being deterred by the fact that the other party was more numerous than themselves, or the threat from the front, and the only thing that could make them stop was Gao Shun's order.
The Xianbei people, who were still full of vigor just now, began to be nervous, and it was the first time to face an army with such a neat pace and such a serious expression, Kirby could stiffen his hair and puff: "My Xianbei warrior is several times more than him, and I am afraid that these thousands of people will not succeed, as long as they break their defense, they will let us slaughter." Listen to me and get ready to charge! After saying that, Kirby was able to draw his saber and point forward, and the Xianbei cavalry launched a charge towards the trapped camp without hesitation.
Gao Shun, the commander of the trapped camp, had a serious demeanor, and was not affected by the shouting and killing sound of the Xianbei army and the sound of horses' hooves, accurately judging the distance between the two armies, and when the Xianbei cavalry entered the firing range, he ordered: release the arrows. Suddenly, the soldiers in the back row of the trapped camp released their arrows almost at the same time, and the hundreds of Xianbei soldiers who rushed in front were directly shot like hedgehogs, Kirby Neng also took a deep breath, the soldiers of this army were too skillful to cooperate, and they shot almost at the same time, but Kirby Neng's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, only sacrifice can be gained, and if you are afraid of death, you can't eliminate the archers in the back row.
It's a pity that Kirby didn't see the Xianbei cavalry successfully break through the front line of defense of the trapped camp, only to see Gao Shun order: raise the shield. The shield soldiers in the front row set up their shields to resist the direct impact of the Xianbei cavalry in the back row, and when the Xianbei cavalry thought that the shield of the trapped camp could not withstand the impact, Gao Shun ordered: stab. The soldiers in the camp have been trained many times, and the spears are not aimed at the Xianbei warriors on the horses, but at the war horses, and the Xianbei soldiers in the front row have not had time to rush into the formation, and they are directly thrown off the horse by their own war horses, and before they can react, they are poked to death by the pikemen in the trapped camp.
The Xianbei army lost one or two thousand people, and the soldiers in the trapped camp were still unscathed. Kirby could see the heavy losses, changed the charge to cavalry shooting, and wanted to attack the rear row with the mobility of the cavalry, but the front of the trapping camp was very firm, and the shield of the trapping camp was mainly to prevent the opponent's cavalry, and the trapping camp phalanx was like a moving chariot, ruthlessly crushing forward, but the movement speed was relatively slow. In order to defeat the Xianbei cavalry, Yuan Xi deployed the cavalry on the flank, as long as Xianbei could not resist the trapped camp and was disrupted by the formation, Yuan Xi was ready to let Zhao Yun's cavalry join the battle.
Kirby Neng also noticed the cavalry on Yuan Xi's flanks, and when he faced off head-on with the trap camp, he also reserved a hand to prevent Yuan Xi's cavalry from sneaking up. However, Kirby could not have imagined that Yuan Xi still had such a powerful infantry, and he actually said that his cavalry was defeated and retreated, with the addition of the White Horse Yicong and Karasuma army, the Xianbei army accelerated the speed of the rout, and the army that was originally reserved to deal with Yuan Xi's cavalry was also disrupted by the trapped camp, panicked, and the Xianbei army began to retreat.
The Xianbei cavalry retreated in a panic, originally thinking that the Han army would chase out a few miles as usual, and if they couldn't keep up, they wouldn't chase it. This time Yuan Xi was determined to wipe out the Xianbei clan, in addition to the Karasuma army of Baima Yicong and Louban led by Zhao Yun, Yuan Xi led the Chinese army was also a fast march, Yuan Tan saw such a good opportunity for revenge, naturally he would not let it go, and he also followed Yuan Xi's army.
After all, the Xianbei cavalry still has to defeat the Youzhou cavalry, even if the Youzhou war horse has the convenience of a horseshoe, maybe the endurance will be better than the Xianbei war horse, but the Xianbei war horse has been running on the grassland for a long time, and the speed advantage is obvious, and it was quickly pulled away, however, Yuan Xi is not worried, he believes that Zhang Jaw and Tian Yu will be able to successfully complete the task they give.
The partial division led by Zhang Jaw and Tian Yu bypassed the eyes of the main Xianbei force and successfully found the Xianbei base camp dozens of miles away. Previously, Kirby Neng also sent a lot of people to guard the grain and grass, and later the successive victories made him proud, hoping to annihilate Yuan Xi in one battle, leaving only a small number of guards, leading the main force of Xianbei with an army of 70,000 to fight Yuan Xi in a decisive battle. Zhang Jaw and Xianbei's army successfully destroyed the Xianbei base camp, and then ambushed him, ready to give Kirby a fatal blow.
When Kirby was able to approach the base camp, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, remembering his recklessness, which led to this fiasco, and apologized to Utuqi: "I regret not listening to the military advisor, so I have this defeat!" Utuqi saw that Kirby could know his mistake and was about to comfort him, when a soldier noticed something strange and exclaimed: "Lord Shan Yu is not good, the granary of the base camp seems to be on fire!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jaw and Tian Yu's ambush soldiers suddenly killed, Kirby was able to reach it and was almost killed by Zhang Jaw. At the moment of crisis, Tuoba Yu stepped forward to repay Kirbineng's kindness and fought hard to open his jaw. Zhang Jaw is a famous general in the world, although Tuoba Yu is brave, but not the opponent of Zhang Jaw, a few rounds were picked by Zhang Jaw under the horse, but this time also successfully saved Kirby Neng's life, Xianbei army rushed to the battle, countless casualties, this is Yuan Xi's army killed, front and back attack, suddenly defeated, Xianbei remnants only more than 1,000 people to protect Kirby can escape to Mobei, the rest of the Xianbei soldiers in order to buy time for Kirby to resist stubbornly, most of them died. Although the defeat of Xianbei, but the Youzhou army and the Qingzhou soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, Yuan Xi sighed even more, I didn't expect Kirby to be so loved in the Xianbei family, although the culprit Tuoba Yu was removed, but Kirby can live is always a big trouble for the Han. Only Xu Shu comforted: "It is really not advisable to go deep into Mobei and hunt down Kirby, but at least Kirby will not be able to go south for at least ten years." ”
