Chapter 53 Scared to death, Li Siyuan is mighty

On August 14 of the seventh year of Han Guanghe, under the leadership of Huangfu Song, the Han army broke through Guangzong City, whipped the remains of Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Liang led the remnants to abscond to Zhang Bao in Qingzhou.

"Driving~driving~"

On the straight road, a cavalry army was speeding through Guò, and the people on the horses were all wrapped in yellow scarves, their faces were anxious, and they kept whipping their horses under their crotch. Suddenly, a lady choked, and the leading war horse was mixed with something, and directly turned over and fell to the ground, throwing the person on the horse a foot away.

Seeing this, all the horsemen behind him reined in their horses, dismounted and ran towards the leader, shouting as they ran: "Rengong, Rengong General!" It turned out that the person who fell the horse was the No. 3 person in the Yellow Turban Army, the Rengong General Zhang Liang.

After a while, Zhang Liang was helped up by several Yellow Turban wrestlers, patted the dust on his body, looked back left and right, and asked, "How many people are still in our army?" ”

A member of the Yellow Turban Officer, Zuo, said loudly: "General Huirengong, there are still 15,000 people at the moment. ”

"Alas......" Zhang Liang sighed, and said in distress, "When our army went out of the city, there were 30,000 people, but this trip was less than a hundred miles, and half of them were lost. ”

Just as Zhang Liang's voice fell, suddenly a cannon rang out on both sides of the straight road, and I saw smoke and dust on both sides of the straight road, and countless official and military flags fluttering in it.

"Oh no! The officers and soldiers are coming! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Liang's guards hurriedly helped Zhang Liang up, and then brought a spare war horse and carried it on the horse, after Zhang Liang sat down, he looked around, and roared in surprise: "Hurry up, be sure to arrive in Qingzhou before dark!" After saying that, without waiting for the other soldiers, he whipped his horse, and galloped forward. Soon, all the horsemen also followed and headed towards Qingzhou.

After Zhang Liang led his troops to leave, more than 300 riders came out from both sides of the straight road one after another.

"Haha, Zhang Liang, this old boy is really a coward, big brother, I think, we can completely charge and catch that cowardice back!" The person who spoke, with a leopard's head and ringed eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a fair complexion, a beard and a beard, holding a spear of eight snakes, was pointing at Zhang Liang's army in the distance.

The person who was called the eldest brother, with big ears and sharp eyebrows, shook his head and said after listening to his brother's words at this moment: "Third brother, don't be reckless. The army lord just told me to wait and follow him, bluffing, so that he could not have a moment of peace. ”

"Big brother, then I'll just follow and don't do anything?" The person who spoke, with a green robe and green armor, a face like a heavy jujube, a body nine feet long, holding a green dragon glaive knife in his hand, squinted his eyes slightly, stroked his beautiful beard, and said in a cold voice.

It turned out that the team of three hundred horsemen was led by Liu Bei's three brothers. Their task is the strategy of the enemy explained by Liu Chang. At present, this strategy has basically succeeded, when the Yellow Turbans learned the news of the fall of Guangzong, their morale was low, and when Liu Bei harassed the enemy for the first time, thousands of Yellow Turbans scattered and fled, and the second time, enough 10,000 people fled, and more than 3,000 people did not know where to go, and begged on the spot. Liu Bei had to inform Huangfu Song to come and surrender, and there was a delay for nearly an hour. Fortunately, the war horse given by Huangfu Song was fast, several times faster than the horse Zhang Liang and the others were riding, and they caught up in less than half an hour. That's what happened just now.

Liu Bei looked at his corporal and two brothers, then looked at the sky, and said loudly: "The whole army will rest for a while, and then continue the pursuit!" ”

When all the sergeants heard this, they dismounted one after another to rest, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little puzzled, and asked Liu Bei in unison: "Big brother, why is this?" ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything at first, just crossed his knees on the ground, and then motioned for Guan Zhang to sit down as well. After Guan Zhang sat down, Liu Bei said slowly: "As far as I know, our army has chased out nearly 100 miles, and Cao Duwei's ambush should be less than 80 miles away. What I mean is that let the sergeants rest, eat and drink enough, and cooperate with Cao Duwei's headquarters, and we will attack the enemy from behind, and Zhang Liang may be captured in one battle. ”

Guan Zhang praised it when he heard the words: "Big brother is a good plan!" The three brothers looked at each other and smiled.

Let's say that Zhang Liang, after three attacks by the official army, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers left, and he fell off the horse and was injured, at this moment he has become a frightened bird, as soon as there is a wind and grass, Gu Du has been attacked by the official army, leading his command to flee in a panic towards Cao Cao's combined cavalry team without any rules.

"Report ......"

"Qiqi Cao Duwei, General Li Bi, a Yellow Turban cavalry army of about 10,000 is coming here, and it has a big banner with the inscription 'General Rengong'." A Han scout entered a makeshift tent and spoke to the main seat and the two generals at the bottom left.

"Hahaha, Brother Siyuan, he Zhang Liang is here! Brother Thou art a god. Cao Cao, who was on the main throne, was overjoyed when he heard the news, and looked at Li Siyuan, who was on the left, and said with a smile.

Li Siyuan bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Cao Duwei for your praise, my eldest brother often taught me to say that a qiē calculation is just seeking truth from facts, just talking about things, and there is no miracle." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he bowed his head and said: "What a truth-seeking, just talk about things!" Come on, prepare for war! ”

"Whoa!" The generals and colonels at all levels in the battalion came out one after another, and the armament went to war.

Soon, the 15,000 people of Cao Cao and Li Siyuan's joint cavalry regiment were ready, Cao Cao looked at the 15,000 cavalry, full of pride, and waved the big lance in his hand and said: "Let's go!" ”

The horses' hooves rumbled, and the iron armor was shining. The Han Iron Cavalry, who was once far away from the Huns, is only a group of Yellow Turban troops with incomplete armor and poor weapons.

When nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers appeared in front of Zhang Liang's eyes, Zhang Liang, who was already on the verge of a mental breakdown, turned black and fell to the ground from his horse. Several guards wanted to rescue him, but the horse was hard to slow down, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Liang's good body was mixed with the soil.

Zhang Liang was about to die, and the yellow scarves were hesitating, when suddenly the drums behind were loud, and they saw smoke and dust billowing from the rear.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao shouted loudly: "Listen to the thief, now that the first evil Zhang Liang is dead, and you have been surrounded by our army, if you don't surrender at this time, when will you wait?" ”

Hearing this, many yellow turbans dropped their blades and knelt on the ground to beg for surrender. However, there were still more than 3,000 horsemen who remained unmoved. At this time, a small leader stepped forward and said: "Brothers, I have received the great favor of the general, today is the time to repay the service, and let the officers and soldiers take a look, we and the Yellow Turban also have loyal and righteous people, brothers of the guards, follow a certain killing officer!" After speaking, this person took the lead to kill Cao Cao's side.

"Kill the officer!" The remaining 3,000 or so horsemen who had not abandoned their weapons roared and followed the leader in the direction of the Combined Cavalry Regiment.

"I can't imagine that there are such righteous people among the yellow scarves, it's a pity!" Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh. Immediately, he wanted to wave his army and exterminate this group of dead soldiers.

"Lord Duwei is willing to lead 3,000 people in his headquarters, and he will ride this Liang Wei for a while!" Before Cao Cao gave the order, Li Siyuan preemptively said.

"Well", Cao Cao was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that ordinary people are reluctant to let their private soldiers get into danger when they have to do it as a last resort, but this Li Siyuan is unusual, and even took the initiative to ask for a decisive battle with the three thousand dead soldiers, but Cao Cao was puzzled, but his heart said that this is not his own private army anyway, what do you like to do, what are you doing! Even if Li Siyuan can't beat him, he still has more than 12,000 horses, and none of those dead soldiers can escape today. He immediately nodded in agreement: "Brother Siyuan, there is a group of dead soldiers ahead, you can be careful!" ”

When Li Siyuan heard this, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord Xie Duwei is complete, Siyuan will be fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

After speaking, Li Siyuan beckoned the three thousand knights of the headquarters and charged towards Zhang Liangwei's cavalry.

As the saying goes, when the narrow road meets, the brave wins. However, sometimes this is not always the case.

At this moment, in front of Cao Cao, a scene of recruits slaughtering soldiers was staged.

Although Zhang Liangweiqi was not afraid of death, it was a pity that he met Liu Changjun, who paid attention to the coordination of weapons and the use of battle arrays. A qiē's struggles were all in vain.

Under the command of Li Siyuan, although many of them were just newly recruited recruits, with the commands of "throwing", "lifting", and "stabbing", they all calmly acted as killing machines. In a few moments, the battlefield was silent.

Li Siyuan looked at the yellow scarves lying on the battlefield and ordered: "All teams, report the battle damage!" ”

"Report to the general, a thousand people in the first team, a thousand before the war, a thousand after the war, no casualties!"

"Report to the general, a thousand people in the second team, a thousand before the war, a thousand after the war, and one person was slightly wounded!"

"Report to the general, a thousand people in the third team, a thousand before the war, a thousand after the war, no casualties!"

Li Siyuan looked at the captains of the three teams, Chen Ming, Luo Zhi, and Zhou Lun can be said to have followed Li Siyuan when they started their troops from Jiwu County, and they have experienced nearly 100 battles, they are not only Li Siyuan's right-hand men, but also Liu Chang's staunch supporters. It can be said that the eighty horsemen of that day are now all experienced generals, and these three are obviously the best. Of course, this set of procedures for reporting war losses is based on Liu Chang's later generations.

"Chen Ming, Luo Zhi, Zhou Lun, gather the troops and prepare to return to the army!"

"Whoa!" The three of them shouted yes.

Li Siyuan drove the mount, came to Cao Cao, and said with a fist: "Lord Duwei, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has completely annihilated this gang of thieves!" ”

"Good, good!" Cao Cao was really speechless, with a battle loss rate of 0 to 3,000, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to do it even by himself! But the man in front of him did it. This made Cao Cao's curiosity about Liu Chang even heavier. The order was immediately given: "The whole army will clean up the battlefield, and after half an hour, return to the army!" ”

"Whoa!" The generals dispersed according to the order.
