Chapter 112: Differentiation
The rout of the fangs caught Meng Shu and the others off guard.
In fact, in this short period of less than a quarter of an hour, their mood fluctuated greatly, when the fangs broke through the walled gate, they were actually ready to wave their troops into Ye Zhao's camp, ready to defeat Ye Zhao's main force in one go, but when the soldiers and horses were not completely out of the camp, they saw three soldiers and horses appear, respectively from different directions into the fangs, and the fangs who rushed into the camp also ran out in a panic.
Apparently the counterattack in the stockade was much greater than expected.
At this moment, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that these fangs have been calculated, Meng Shu gritted his teeth, since he sent out the army, he has not encountered anything good, and this time he obviously failed again.
Just when Meng Shu and several Nanban cave masters gathered their soldiers and horses, preparing to support the defeated fangs, a group of men and horses suddenly came out from Meng Huo's rear formation, but it was Guan Yu who arrived.
"Guan Yu!?"
Meng Shu turned his head, and the moment he saw Guan Yu, the weapon in his hand almost landed directly, and exclaimed, "Why is he here!?" ”
But seeing that Guan Yu was like a sharp blade, when the barbarians didn't have time to change their formation, they easily cut the formation of the barbarians from the rear, and every time the Qinglong Glaive Knife waved, it could take away the lives of several soldiers, and easily killed the barbarian soldiers' already not rigorous formation, and directly broke out of the formation and fought with the fangs who fled.
When the fangs attack, they can be fearless of death, and they don't even seem to feel the pain, but once they are afraid, they will be like ordinary beasts, and it will be difficult to have a fighting spirit, and they will be killed head-on by Guan Yu, and the corpses will be all over the field.
What's worse is that although Guan Yu broke out of the formation and reorganized the formation, the three teams of Gan Ning, Ding Li, and Guan Hai had already gathered together and chased the fangs into the barbarian camp that had not yet been integrated.
"Don't mess around, there are a lot of us, kill me!" Several cave masters are still trying to maintain military discipline and command the barbarians to fight back, and it does have some effect, many barbarian warriors roared towards the Shu army to fight back, but more barbarian troops are lifeless to retreat, some barbarian counterattacks, although it has caused some trouble to the Shu army, but the general trend has gone, and it is not something that this small group of people can reverse.
If at this time, if one-third of the barbarian soldiers can obey the dispatch and continue to fight bravely against the Shu army, the barbarian army will not be completely defeated, even if it does not win, there is still a chance to fight for both defeats, but as Guan Yu's troops readjust and cover up again, the rout is basically completely impossible for you to earn.
Guan Yu leading soldiers is just like his knife skills, what he pays attention to is fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Before, although it caused great confusion, it also made Guan Yu unable to find the position of the enemy's main general in the chaotic army, but this time the barbarian army has begun to rout, and the position of several cave masters of the barbarian army has been highlighted.
"It's not good, get out of here!" Meng Shu knew that it was not good the moment he saw Guan Yu enter the battlefield, in the process of meeting Guan Yu twice, Meng Shu still remembered Guan Yu's routine, and at the moment of shouting, he directly turned over and dismounted, ripped off the decoration on his head that represented the level of the cave master, rolled on the spot, and walked away among the fleeing barbarians.
The cave master of Yinye Cave had the experience of the last time, and at the moment when Meng was reminded by the voice, he turned his horse's head and ran, but the other cave masters didn't know how powerful Guan Yu was.
In this wild place, with courage as the respect, as the cave master, even if he is not the first warrior in the clan, the force is not bad, when he saw Guan Yu killed, the first reaction was to spit on the two of them for their timidity at the same time, directly picked up the weapon and faced Guan Yu.
"Kill!" Seeing that the thief army master would not go but catch up, the cold light in Guan Yu's eyes was raging, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife picked it up when the two sides were still four or five zhang apart, and at the moment when it met the first cave master, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife had already skillfully completed the chopping action, and the opponent's cooked copper stick had just been mentioned to the chest.
"Poof~"
Qing Mang swept by, the Heavenly Blood Pillar flew out with a human head, Guan Yu didn't even look at the corpse, he had already crossed the corpse, killed the second cave master, wrapped the jade belt around his waist, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife that had exhausted the knife wrapped around his shoulder and then went around his waist, and before the opponent's iron thistle smashed into his head, the enemy was cut in two.
This flip was completed in the lightning and fire, and Guan Yu's horse barely stopped at all, and he had already completed the double kill.
In addition, there are five cave masters who have never seen such a powerful opponent, and each of the two cave masters can survive under Guan Yu's knife, and their hearts are broken, how dare they fight, turn their horses' heads and run.
Guan Yu didn't stop, and he stepped forward to kill one more person by rushing on a speedy horse, but the other four people fled separately, and it was difficult to pursue, Guan Yu had some regrets, so he could only take the soldiers back and forth in the chaotic army to kill, as long as he saw that there were barbarians gathered together, he would wave the army and rush up to kill them.
Eight cave masters plus a Meng was killed and fled, how could the remaining barbarians have the courage to fight again, one by one either howling and chasing their own cave masters, or kneeling to surrender, Guan Yu, Guan Hai, Ding Li, Gan Ning soldiers divided into four ways, and it was a chase and killing, chasing out more than 20 miles, until the day was getting westward, Ye Zhao Ming Jin retreated.
Looking at the corpses all over the mountains, Ye Zhao sighed and ordered people to start cleaning up the battlefield, burying or burning all the soldiers on both sides of the enemy, and at the same time collecting the weapons of the surrendered barbarians and taking care of them.
"Lord, this battle was a great victory, the 30,000 army of the thief army was defeated, 7,000 barbarians were captured, and more than 10,000 enemies were killed. Huang Quan excitedly came to Ye Zhao's side and said.
"What about our casualties?" Ye Zhao turned his head and asked.
"This ......" Huang Quan was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "It hasn't been counted yet." ”
"Gan Ning, you say!" Ye Zhao looked at Gan Ningdao on the side.
"Back to the lord, the previous battle with the savage, more than 1,000 losses, the next ten days, about 800 losses, although this time the defeat of the barbarian army, a lot of enemies, but the last general, General Guan, General Guan and General Ding four plus the loss of the garrison, there are also more than 4,000, this battle of our army lost a total of 6,000!" Gan Ning said in a low voice.
20,000 troops, 00 in the end, there are 6,000 people, you know, after the division of troops, Ye Zhao's side of the Manchurian Communist Party is just over 20,000, 6,000 losses, almost one-third, this military morale and morale blow is not small.
This is still because Ye Zhao merged the soldiers and horses of Jianning, otherwise, if he only relied on Ye Zhao's 20,000 soldiers and horses at the beginning, this way down would be less than half of them now.
"Wounded a thousand, wounded eight hundred." Ye Zhao tapped his index finger on the handrail and looked at Huang Quan and said: "Now that the thief army has suffered heavy casualties, and the morale is even lower, what we have to do at this time is not to attack, but to attack the heart, and to balance!" ”
"In!" Huang Quan bowed and said.
"Give you a thousand people, plus a thousand barbarian soldiers to capture the commander, temporarily take the position of captain, and ......" Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Listen to the tune under Yun Chang." ”
Huang Quan was a little confused about Ye Zhao's sudden arrangement, but the military order could not be violated, so he bowed down and received the order at the moment.
Huang Quan is a fledgling at the moment, he has read a lot of art of war and strategy in the academy, and his performance in strategy and strategy is also quite good during this time, as a staff officer, Huang Quan is undoubtedly very qualified, and more importantly, he has just reached the championship, and there is still a lot of potential to tap in the future.
But there is one thing that Ye Zhao cares about very much, Huang Quan's talent at the moment makes him start to be a little conceited, and even between his words, whether it is Ding Li, Guan Hai, the old people around Ye Zhao, or Guan Yu, a general who has already become famous in the world, they all have a faint disdain.
The most important thing is that he doesn't have any actual experience in leading troops, and all his previous performances are extended under the condition that Ye Zhao is in control of the overall situation.
Ye Zhao is very worried about cultivating a talent who could have been in charge on his own to Zhao Kuo, Ma Jian and the like on paper, as one of the future backbones of his command, Ye Zhao wants more than just a staff officer who can follow him to give advice to himself, this kind of thing, Xi Zhicai and Li Ru are enough, he needs more generals who can take charge on their own, which is also the reason why Huang Quan was thrown under Guan Yu.
If it is placed under the command of Ding Li, Guan Hai or Xu Rong, these people may not be able to play a beating role, but Guan Yu is different, Guan Yu has outstanding ability, but he is very proud in his bones, even if he is a person sent by Ye Zhao, Guan Yu's temperament will not be used to it, and Huang Quan also belongs to the type of newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and Guan Yu can complement each other to a certain extent.
At the same time, let Huang Quan lead the army alone earlier, and apply what he has learned, which can also prevent Huang Quan from going further and further on the road of empty talk, so Xi Zhicai recommended Huang Quan and asked him to go with the army this time.
"This time we captured 7,000 barbarian soldiers, and sent someone to find out which side they belonged to." Ye Zhao looked at the crowd: "Ding Li will handle this matter, and pick out the people from Yinye Cave for me and let them go." ”
"Lord, this ......" Several people were stunned when they heard this, this is a trophy, no matter how you say it, let it go.
Huang Quan turned his eyes, but he already understood Ye Zhao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The lord wants to attack his heart?" ”
"Gongheng knows me." Ye Zhao did not shy away from it, and nodded with a smile.
Ding Li took the order and left, but Guan Hai on the side frowned and said, "Lord, what is the attack." ”
"General Guan, imagine what you would think if you were one of those Nanban cave masters, and you didn't know the life and death of your captured soldiers and horses, but the people from Yinye Cave were released back for the sake of Yinye?" Huang Quan said with a smile: "Yinye Cave is the most powerful one in the Yongchang area, if Yinye Cave is isolated, when our army wants to subdue Yinye Cave, I am afraid that the rest of the cave owners may not come to help." ”
