Chapter 3: Sweeping away the chaos and making meritorious contributions

Section 4 The strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao

Liu Yunwei saw where Zhao Zhenren was, and led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry to kill the past, although the thieves of the 30,000-strong array also stopped in advance and launched a defense on the spot, but the army of thieves who lacked counter-cavalry assault equipment could not stop the rush of the elite iron cavalry at all. Without the slightest pause, two thousand dragon warriors rushed into the rogue formation and began to carry out a bloody massacre of the thieves who had already been torn apart.

"Crush them! Defeat them! Kill it! Liu Yunwei roared loudly, and constantly led the iron cavalry soldiers to attack Zhao Zhenren's location, but due to the barrier of tens of thousands of rogue soldiers, he could not rush to the front for a while. After a fight, the iron cavalry soldiers who fought bravely were only more than 100 steps away from Zhao Zhenren's general banner, and Liu Yunwei saw this and loudly commanded the iron cavalry soldiers to move forward bravely.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Changshui Department led by Wen Poyu had completely dispersed the formation of the three thieves, and tens of thousands of thieves were surging backwards like a tide, and the soldiers of the Changshui Department took the opportunity to cover up and kill, and there were suddenly countless more souls on the battlefield. After Wen Poyu killed for a while, he raised his eyes and saw that Liu Yunwei was entangled and fighting with Zhao Zhenren's department, so he no longer entangled with these thieves, and directly led more than 4,000 soldiers of the Changshui Department to kill Zhao Zhenren's department, preparing to form a flanking attack with Long Xiang's iron cavalry.

At this time, Liu Yunwei was leading his troops to break through, and suddenly heard the sound of iron horses, raised his eyes and was immediately overjoyed, and shouted: "Soldiers, the left front point is round!" Rush out and cut off the thief's retreat! As soon as the words fell, the two thousand iron cavalry soldiers were like a whole, and they turned towards the left front of the cavalry formation in a uniform manner, and the thieves along the way were killed one after another, and a road paved by the corpses of the thieves was formed in an instant.

At this time, the iron cavalry of the Changshui Department has arrived!

I saw that hundreds of horseback lance cavalry took the lead in attacking the army of thieves under Zhao Zhenren, and then thousands of iron cavalry soldiers crashed into the thief formation, and the thieves who had lost their formation were scattered and embarrassed.

At this moment, Wen Poyu and Liu Yunwei saw Zhao Zhenren's flag stop in the thief formation almost at the same time, and no longer moved backwards. Seeing this, most of the thieves actually stabilized their fighting spirit a little, and they all began to move closer to Zhao Zhenren's banner.

Wen Poyu was taken aback when he saw this, he didn't expect this Zhao Zhenren to have such appeal, so he hurriedly led his troops to kill them, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to kill the thieves again. Liu Yunwei, on the other hand, felt a little strange, but in the chaotic battlefield, he didn't have time to think carefully about what was wrong; So, Liu Yunwei also roared and led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers to kill them.

I saw that more than 6,000 soldiers of the Longxiang Iron Cavalry and the Changshui Iron Cavalry had formed a front and rear attack on the thieves under Zhao Zhenren's department, and the thieves who had just gathered were once again dispersed, and they were unable to form an army under the impact of thousands of iron cavalry soldiers, and the entire thief array was like ice cubes on a hot pot, which was rapidly dissolving.

Liu Yunwei looked ahead while riding his horse to kill the enemy, and saw that Zhao Zhenren's general flag was not far ahead, so he roared and took twenty iron cavalry soldiers to take the lead in killing. I saw that the armor-breaking point steel spear in Liu Yunwei's hand was dancing into the wind, and the spear made of stainless steel was waved like a rope by Liu Yunwei, and the surrounding thieves almost did not have a single general, and they were killed one after another under Liu Yunwei's onslaught. It didn't take long for these rogue soldiers to flee with screams, and when they saw Liu Yunwei rushing over, they were as frightened as if they had seen a devouring tiger.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Yunwei killed where Zhao Zhenren's general was located, and saw a middle-aged man standing there with a knife on his face, with a desperate look on his face, and dozens of thieves around him were nervously guarding.

Seeing this, Liu Yunwei immediately cheered, and led the iron cavalry soldiers to step directly on their horses, and the dozens of thieves had no power to fight back at all, and were slaughtered by the angry iron cavalry soldiers in a blink of an eye; And Liu Yunwei picked up the middle-aged man and threw him to the ground with a single shot, and then he stretched out his hand to lift it up, and at the same time pinned the spear to the saddle with his left hand, pulled out his war knife and cut off Zhao Zhenren's flag!

With the collapse of Zhao Zhenren's banner, the army of hundreds of thousands of thieves on the entire battlefield suddenly seemed to have lost their souls and completely gave up resistance. The soldiers of the various divisions immediately began to order the thieves to surrender, and a shocking bloody battle came to an end.

Liu Yunwei saw that most of the battles on the battlefield had ended, so he threw the man to the ground, sat on the war horse and asked coldly, "You are Zhao Zhenren?" ”

The man covered the wound on his stomach with his hands, the blood had already stained his clothes, and it was still gushing outward, and he said weakly at this time: "I am not Zhao Zhenren, my name is Wang Kuilu, and I am the left-wing general of the righteous army." ”

Liu Yunwei was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted, "Where is Zhao Zhenren?" How could he not personally lead his troops in such a big battle? ”

Wang Kuilu said with a wry smile: "Zhao Zhenren is indeed here, but after the rebel army launched an attack, Zhao Zhenren left with his henchmen, leaving me to command. ”

Liu Yunwei sneered and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the thief general who escaped in the Battle of Longmen Pass, right?" Escaping is a capital offense! Then Zhao Zhenren would even let you command an army of more than 100,000 to fight? Who are you fooling! ”

Wang Kuilu's face was already very pale at this time, and he said: "Zhao Zhenren asked me to stay and command the army, not to reuse me, but to make me guilty and make meritorious contributions." ”

Liu Yunwei was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "Could it be that Zhao Zhenren expects these hundreds of thousands of rabble to be able to defeat my Hanwei battalion army?" ”

"Not really." Wang Kuilu shook his head, coughed violently, and said: "These hundreds of thousands of horses are not the main force of the righteous army, just cannon fodder with a little training, I am here with these horses to beg for death, we are the bait!" ”

When Liu Yunwei heard this, he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, thinking of the trace of unusualness he had noticed before, he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly shouted: "Wen Poyu! Immediately led the Changshui Department back to aid Yiyang, and the main force of the thieves attacked Yiyang! ”

Wen Poyu was also furious when he heard this, and before he had time to ask in detail, he led the iron cavalry of the Changshui Department to gallop in the direction of Yiyang.

Then, Liu Yunwei wanted to leave a part of the soldiers and horses to guard the large number of prisoners, and the rest of the main army immediately rushed to Yiyang to rescue. But after calming down a little, Liu Yunwei suddenly remembered a word: Siege Wei to save Zhao!

"If I divide my troops to rescue Yiyang, what if I am attacked by thieves halfway? You must know that now the soldiers have experienced a high-intensity battle of life and death, and if they run for their lives like this, if they don't get it right, they will let the thieves pick up a big bargain! Liu Yunwei thought in his heart: "Let's set up camp here first, and then take these hundreds of thousands of thieves into custody." As for Yiyang, there are not only local garrisons in the city, but also thousands of soldiers and horses from Master Chen's headquarters and reserve battalions, and Wen Poyu has also led his troops back to support, so there shouldn't be any problems! ”

Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei pressed his impatience and ordered the army of Hanwei's battalion to camp on the spot and collect prisoners.

Looking at Liu Yunwei, who was well-organized, Wang Kuilu sighed heavily in his heart: "It seems that the real person's plan is about to fail, this official and general is not fooled!" These hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the righteous army have sacrificed in vain, and when I encounter such a strong enemy, I am not unjustly defeated in this battle! Not long after, Wang Kuilu died of his injuries.

After the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion built the camp, Liu Yunwei summoned the thousands of generals of various departments to the big tent of the Chinese army.

After everyone arrived, everyone's faces were full of joy, after all, the annihilation of the 150,000 thieves army in World War I was a great victory that the dynasty had not won for many years!

Seeing that everyone was elated, Liu Yunwei also exhaled a few breaths, leaving behind the troubles of falling into the thief's plan to save Zhao, and was ready to ask about the losses of the various thousand headquarters and the results of this battle.

Lu Ying had already asked the generals about the basic situation of this battle before, and when he saw Liu Yunwei asking, he said: "Big brother, we can say that we have won this battle!" In this battle, we annihilated a total of 150,000 thieves' army, of which more than 58,000 were killed, more than 81,000 were captured, and the rest of the thieves were all scattered, but the grain and grass were not captured in this battle. In this battle, the officers and men of our Hanwei battalion suffered a total of 3,713 casualties, including: 87 soldiers of the Feiyu Division, 1,429 soldiers of the Trapping Division, 799 soldiers of the Tiger Ben Division, 859 soldiers of the Yueqi Division, 117 soldiers of the Zhichong Division, 88 soldiers of the Yingyang Division, no casualties in this battle of the Yulin Division, and 46 soldiers of the Longxiang Iron Cavalry; The Changshui Ministry is temporarily unable to make specific statistics because of the return to Yiyang, but according to the number of war horses collected, the number of dead should be more than two hundred. ”

The people who were still elated just now suddenly lost their voices, and when they heard that the 1,000 headquarters of the Hanwei Battalion had lost a total of more than 3,000 soldiers in this battle, everyone's hearts were tingling.

Liu Yunwei's heart was also very uncomfortable, but as the main general, Liu Yunwei still cheered up and cheered everyone up, and said: "There will definitely be casualties in a bloody battle, and these more than 3,000 soldiers and thieves sacrificed their lives for the country, which is the best destination for our warriors!" What we have to do is to exterminate the thief rebellion as soon as possible and return peace to the people of Henan! ”

The generals shouted: "May the general quell the rebellion!" ”
