Chapter 291: The Beginning of Another Plan
Sunlight casts through the clouds, and the fog thins out.
On the battlefield south of the father of the lower city, the torch fell to the ground and was extinguished, according to a broken arm next to him, the blood slowly flowed down the soil, the blood-stained figure on his face let out a soft cry of pain, climbed on the ground, stretched out his other hand to grab the broken arm, in the field of vision, the shadow covered the morning light, a pair of boots walked in front of him, the soldier with the broken arm raised his head, tears fell in fear, a spear fell, inserted into his back, the face of fear suddenly stuck to the ground, the blood under him flowed from the gap, no longer moving.
The spear was drawn, and the tiger and leopard rode over the Yuan soldier he had just killed to the next one, his vision crossed his back, the white mist dissipated, and the corpses and blood of the people spread out from here, and they groaned in pain. The captured wounded soldiers who chanted or screamed heart-rending were being cleaned up one by one, and on the edge of the battlefield, there were occasional sounds of fighting, and there were still small Yuan soldiers resisting, and soon, a cavalry rushed over, and the sound disappeared, and in the middle of the entire battlefield, a large number of Yuan soldiers who had surrendered were circled by a famous cavalry with ropes in a huge circle, crowded and squatted inside, once they stepped out, arrows would be shot from the nearby wolf riders.
Gongsun Zhi stood on the high ground and looked at the belongings on the corpse, the surrounding war horses galloped around, the injured companions were taken to a clean place here for treatment and bandaging, and the voices of people came in a boiling voice, for this day and night to defeat 40,000 horses, it can be described as an indescribable victory, but on the other hand, the physical exhaustion also made most of the people who wanted to cheer consciously find a place to sleep.
"The injured brother will find a way to take it away, and he can't leave it here, send people to nearby counties and towns to settle people in, and in addition, inform the wolf cavalry to strengthen the surrounding vigilance, so that the subordinates of Montenegro, Tiger and Leopard, and Xiahoudun can rest well."
He gave an order to Li Ke behind him, and while the latter nodded and left, the sound of horses' hooves sounded not far away, and a group of cavalry ran across the edge of the battlefield and went up the hillside, stopping at the horse for a few steps, Yan Rou took off his iron helmet.
"Leader, there are more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers who surrendered, and it is even more difficult to count the wounded and not dead, and some of the seriously injured may not survive this day, and too many prisoners will slow down the speed of entering Peiguo."
Gongsun Zhi turned over and dismounted: "Then do you have any ideas?" Let's hear it. ”
Next to him, Yan Rou also got down the war horse, followed behind the figure in front of him, and shook his head silently, he has been with Gongsun for a long time, but he has always been taciturn, and has always led troops with peace of mind, except for recruitment, he has little interaction with other people, most of them read through the classics and military books at home, plus he has an extremely calm temperament, and he has almost never made a mistake in the past few years.
He himself was tall, walking with Gongsun Zhi, both of them were about the same size, hearing the words of the question, Yan Rou looked at the captives over there, and frowned: "Killing prisoners is ominous, but it can also be used elsewhere." ”
Dian Wei next to him glanced at him and turned his head disdainfully.
"You mean Xuzhou?" Gongsun stopped and turned his head slightly, "Indeed, this group of people can be used over there." ”
Yan Rou was stunned for a moment and arched his hand: "It turns out that the leader already has an idea in his heart, and he is too talkative." ”
While talking, the generals on the battlefield came back one after another, Cao Chun and Xiahoudun were also injured to some extent, and they also came here after bandaging, and reported their own damages, the most serious casualties were Xiahoudun's two thousand light cavalry, for such a rushing formation, it was refreshing to be refreshing, after the war stopped, it was less than 1,500, and the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry who rushed to the front also suffered too much damage, at least 500 people died, and another 1 or 200 people were more or less injured, and it was impossible to fight again in a short time.
"Governor, my subordinates can't continue to fight like this, they have suffered heavy losses, my eldest brother ...... there"
"Rest is necessary......
Listening to the two of them talking, Gongsun Zhi nodded, naturally understanding what they meant, "I have an idea, since the main force of Yuan Shu has been removed, the remaining Ji Ling's troops and horses, without food and straw, can't even hold out for ten days, and it doesn't matter anything to the entire battle situation...... Cao Sikong and Lu Bu have been facing off in Peiguo for a long time, instead of icing on the cake, it is better to kill Xuzhou, take down Pi, force Lu Bu to return to defense, and ambush halfway. ”
"Many people think that Lu Bu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and the way of cavalry is even more difficult for ordinary people to reach, which makes people fearful, you say, after this battle, will there be Lu Fengxian and his wolf riding in Bingzhou?"
He whispered a word, looking at the battlefield, and several generals around him did not speak, but it did not mean that no one agreed.
"I think what the governor said is right, let's go to Xuzhou to fight the three slaves by surprise, and we can avenge the revenge of taking my brother Changchengchi in the first place!"
The words came from a limping figure in the field of vision, Zhang Fei's previous impact on Zhang Xun's Chinese army was too ruthless, the war horse was poked by the gun and fell, he was crushed in the leg, but it was not a big deal, when he came to the bottom of the hillside, he looked left and right with a snake spear: "Dudu, where is the general under your command?" Why don't you see him? ”
"That's right, where did Pan Wushuang go?" Dian Wei ran to the edge of the hillside with the iron halberd and looked at it for a while, then turned around: "The Black Mountain riders are all back, this guy won't die, right?" ”
Gongsun Zhi frowned and turned his head to look at Yan Rou: "Can all the Black Mountain riders come back?" ”
"Even if the brothers who died in the battle were recovered, General Pan was not seen on the battlefield." Yan Rou nodded affirmatively, and was about to say that a horse appeared in the northern wilderness in the afterglow, rushing towards this side, turning his eyes to look over there, with a smile on his face: "Governor, look, is that person General Pan, he ran to chase Zhang Xun alone?" ”
In the hesitant morning light, far away, as soon as he rode towards this side, Lao Yuan raised his arm high, carrying a round thing, when he ran over the edge of the battlefield, someone saw the thing in his hand, guessed something, and broke out into cheers from time to time, Pan Feng opened his voice and shouted: "Liu Xun's head is here-"
The horse stopped a few feet away.
Pan Feng threw away the giant axe, turned over and dismounted and ran here with a bloody head, lifted the head in front of Gongsun Zhi and everyone, panting, and laughed innocently: "Lord, look...... My Lao Pan's credit should be the greatest...... Hahaha...... To give! The blood is still hot. ”
"It's cold!" Li Ke lifted Liu Xun's head and touched the blood dripping from his broken neck.
Dian Wei looked at the head, turned his head to look at him, and was quite surprised: "You killed it?" ”
The surrounding generals, including Gongsun Zhi, were a little surprised, Liu Xun is the main general, and he is also a martial artist, and he is not too weak, not to mention that even if the other party withdraws in a hurry, there are hundreds of guards around him, if Pan Feng intercepts the other party with more than 1,000 horsemen and kills people, it is also said that it is the past, but he goes alone, and if he is replaced by people like Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, he may be able to do it.
"Of course...... It's me, look at the axe, look at the wound. Pan Feng hurriedly returned and picked up the giant axe and showed it to everyone, and then crutched on the ground: "I am among a thousand people, and I took the other party's head, isn't it very long-faced?" ”
Gongsun next to him nodded his head: "Well, Chang (chang)!"
"Hahaha-"
On the hillside, the generals laughed.
"Since Pan Feng took Zhang Xun's head back, we have already won half of this battle, as for Yuan Shu, don't worry about it, the rest is to solve it in one breath on the Xuzhou side, but don't be too happy, Lu Bu is not as good as this dead head, he also has elite cavalry under his command, and even the foot soldiers heard that there is also a group called the trap camp, the number is not large, but it is very powerful, if you really want to fight, I haven't thought of a countermeasure yet."
Gongsun Zhi's face was serious, waiting for everyone to laugh, once the words were spoken, a large number of generals around him subconsciously stood up straight, stopped all the words that were still being said, except for Xiahoudun, these people all came from the horse thief with him, and they would subconsciously obey the prestige of the leader, and no one did not listen at this juncture.
"But...... Until then, you all roll me to rest and heal from my injuries, and then push the battle line to Xuzhou and tell the flying general Lu Bu over there that we are coming-"
"Yes"
On the hillside, the atmosphere was solemn and quiet, and all the generals shouted in unison. On the battlefield that stopped, countless eyes looked over the hillside here, and the voices of the generals seemed to shout out for them, and on the hillside, above the crowded figures, the white giant wolf banner was waving hideously.
Shouchun, the atmosphere of slaughter is fermenting, Yuan Shu finished reviewing the three armies in military uniform, and made a posture of preparing to go out, behind him there were two new Yang Feng and Han Xianam, who turned around and smiled: "Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhitun soldiers Peiguo and Lu Bu confronted, I sent Zhang Xun and Ji Ling to the north, he would never have imagined that I would send another army of soldiers and horses to attack Xudu, to know that Jianghuai is rich and tight, and can afford the grain of the second army at present." ”
"The latter general is wise." Yang and Han glanced at each other and complimented each other.
Yuan Shu looked at them with satisfaction, stroked his beard and turned his head, looking straight ahead: "Since the two of you are sincere to take refuge, then go out with me to fight Xudu and behave well......"
Passing by the city gate, soon, the news of the fiasco of Zhang Xun's army had been passed back by the fast horse, he rode on horseback, looking at this information, his face was blue for a while, red for a while, he snorted in his nose, threw it to the ground, turned his head to look at Yang Feng and Han Xian, and opened his mouth.
"...... this battle is over for the time being."
Yang Feng saw Yuan Shu leaving, dismounted and picked up the information, with a horrified look on his face, he looked at Han Xian, his Adam's apple rolled, and swallowed his saliva: "Gongsun Zhi broke Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan 40,000 soldiers and horses in one night, and there was no food and grass, and the former army Ji Ling turned around and fled on the way back." ”
"Let's ...... the demon law......" Han Xian muttered.
*******************************
At the end of March, when the news of Zhang Xun's 40,000 people being destroyed overnight continued to spread, in the direction of Xuzhou, several fast horses rushed into Xiapi City, holding a blood-stained letter, came to Lu Fu, and knocked on the door.
This is the beginning of another hidden plan......
