Chapter 659: Attack
Zhao Yun looked to the southwest and continued to ride his horse in pursuit.
On the way, I encountered many Qiang and Di cavalry who fled in the wilderness.
Zhao Yun led his troops, and every time he broke through, he would ask for the trace of the leader of the Qiang tribe.
The iron cavalry rushed through the expanse, killing and wounding without any calculation.
It was an open field, Zhao Yun led his subordinates to rush to Bi, and there were many remnants of scattered soldiers who fled around, but it was like entering a no-man's land.
Hongshan's wolf-headed Daxu had rushed here, and he looked left and right, looking around. I want to find a direction, and I want to find a way for myself.
Suddenly, there was a dull sound of horses' hooves behind me.
Hong Shan originally didn't think so, thinking that it was another group of broken soldiers, because this situation has been common on this section of the road.
The Qiang and Di cavalry fled in a panic. Some of them ran more than they could, and although he wanted to give orders to the fleeing soldiers, the soldiers did not listen to him at all.
"My lord, the Han army is catching up!"
At this time, one of Hongshan's subordinates hurriedly said to Hongshan.
Hong Shan's body trembled, and he hurriedly glanced back.
"Damn it, get out of here!"
Hong Shan scolded secretly. As soon as you raise your whip, you will run away.
Although there are more than 1,000 horsemen under his command, he has no morale now, and he only cares about fleeing for his life, and wanting to defeat the 10,000 dragon horsemen under Zhao Yun's command is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Hong Shan's personal guards did not dare to stay, and followed Hong Shan to flee for his life.
"There is a wolf's head in front of him, it must be the commander of the thieves, Xiahoulan, I led a fine cavalry to intercept them. Thou hast led the rest of the cavalry in the rear. ”
Zhao Yun ordered Xiahou Lan, the general of the army, and then jumped forward.
Xiahoulan is a fellow villager of Zhao Yun, and because Zhao Yun is a general of the Five Tigers, he is famous all over the world, so he came to worship.
Zhao Yun was also promoted to military Sima because of Xiahoulan's courage and fearlessness of death in battle.
Hongshan whipped the horse and galloped, and Zhao Yun rode the jade lion of the night, chasing after him.
Zhao Yun can quickly overtake Hongshan with a thousand miles of horses under his crotch.
But he didn't do that, he wanted to work with his subordinates to completely surround Hongshan.
The Northland Horse has the unparalleled endurance of the world's war horses, and the speed is not slow, which is Zhao Yun's advantage.
As the time of the run became longer and longer, the advantages of the war horse were fully revealed.
From a few miles apart, there was only one mile left.
and from a mile, he drew closer to only three hundred paces.
Zhao Yun led the Long Xiang elite cavalry to line up in a column, faintly attacking from the flank of the Qiang and Di cavalry, and getting closer and closer to Hongshan.
"Shoot the arrows!"
When he pulled a hundred steps closer, Zhao Yun ordered the arrow to be released.
The hundreds of dragon cavalry led by Zhao Yun have all reached the flank of the Qiang and Di cavalry.
The dragon knight swims and rides and shoots, no longer throws.
Hundreds of people dispersed, and each soldier showed his ability to lead the arc.
Among them, Zhao Yun took the lead.
The jade lion is as light as flying at night, galloping to its heart's content.
Zhao Yun bent his bow and arrows, and all those who shot fell down.
The Long Xiang soldiers followed Zhao Yun and charged with a long strategy.
At the same time as archery, the Han army was faintly surpassing Hongshan.
Xiahou Lan in the rear of the Qiang cavalry also slowly caught up, and they shot behind the Qiang cavalry. Along the way, there were countless Qiang and Di people who fell off the horse.
Hongshan's sad mood is beyond measure.
He found that it was also a war horse, and the war horses of their Qiang and Di tribes were slower than the Han army.
The main reason is that under the continuous fighting, there is even a phenomenon of exhaustion and death of war horses.
Even the flying wolf-headed Daxu was abandoned to the ground because the Qiang soldiers were shot to death.
"Die left and right, sons, fight with them."
After struggling for a while, Hong Shan found that there was no way to escape, so he said to his subordinates on the left and right, planning to fight Zhao Yun to the death.
Hong Shan raised his knife and killed Zhao Yun directly.
Zhao Yun rode his horse and raised his gun to meet him.
"When ......"
A soldier's voice.
Zhao Yun's shot was like a dragon going to sea, and the knife cut by Hongshan was directly knocked away by Zhao Yun.
Then the gun continued to stab Hong Shan in the chest and stab him from his horse.
After Hongshan's death, Zhao Yun raised his gun into battle, rushed left and right, and shot dozens of people.
The elite cavalry under his command swarmed up, and soon surrounded and annihilated this group of cavalry.
After getting the identity of Hongshan, Zhao Yun ordered his head to be taken, and then Fang Yuan went to encircle and annihilate other Qiang and Di cavalry.
From noon to night, the Long Bird Guard, the Long Xiang Cavalry, and the Han Army cavalry were non-stop, and a pursuit and encirclement finally stopped.
In this battle, the scope of the battle is not just Chengji.
The range of battles extended to Pingxiang to the west of Chengji, Lyuyang to the east, and Xianqin to the south.
There are traces of the Qiang and Di cavalry escaping, and there are also footprints of the Han cavalry pursuing.
Originally, there were about 25,000 cavalry of the Qiang and Di tribes.
The Han army beheaded a total of 20,000 horsemen. Among them, Zhao Yun killed Qiang Shuai Hongshan. Xu Chu killed Handsome Qiangrui. It was a big win.
The chief of Huangshuiqiang passed the pass with more than ten catties and was able to lead the remnants to escape.
For Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, seventeen catties is just a little person in Qianghu, and they have no desire to chase after him.
What they didn't know was that Liu Fan once had a grudge with Seventeen Jin. Liu Fan's mount, Mo Qilin, is also from Huangshuiqiang.
……
Two days later, Wating.
On this day, the sky was dark and the scene of early winter was pervasive. It was as if a heavy snowfall was coming.
Han Sui, Ma Teng, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Song Yang, Lei Wan, Du Qianxian and others were trapped here.
Why?
Because reinforcements from the Han army arrived.
Withdrawing from the Longshan Mountains, Wating is the only way to go, and the Han army is ambushed here to attack the vanguard Xiliang coalition army.
After the Xiliang cavalry was beaten by the Han cavalry, they all reported to the regiment to retreat, and arranged a huge camp in the Wating area as an expedient measure.
Because the Han army surrounded them, there were 70,000 cavalry.
70,000 cavalry, what is this concept?
At first, when their army of 300,000 was formed, it was worthy of 70,000 cavalry.
What's more, to the south of the tile pavilion, that is, behind them, Liu Fan led tens of thousands of infantry and more than 10,000 cavalry to watch their every move closely.
If it weren't for Ma Teng and Han Sui's rapid reorganization of the army and the rapid dispatch of 10,000 cavalry, their nearly 200,000 troops would have been cut off by the 70,000 cavalry of the Han army.
I saw the number of cavalry of the Han army, and I also saw the strength of the cavalry of the Han army.
Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Song Yang and others cut off the idea of escaping.
Because running away with cavalry is looking for death.
They only hoped that the temporary formation could barely withstand the Han army.
In the early morning of that day, when the mist cleared, the Han army began to attack the Western Liang coalition army.
With a huge military camp, Liu Fan commanded the soldiers with drums and command flags.
Liu Fan stood on a mountain peak overlooking the entire battlefield, and he found that the camp temporarily arranged by the Xiliang Coalition Army was full of loopholes.
Liu Fan wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Xiliang coalition army had not yet perfected this camp and launched an attack.
"Boom ......"
The drums of war were beaten, and one after another the flags were passed out. The generals are already in place......
