Chapter Seventy-Nine: Victory
Zhang Liao has almost no defeat in his life, and today he was defeated by us. The cavalry was defeated by the infantry.
"Rush!" The soldiers under my command rushed to the front of Zhang Liao's army.
Commanding like a fool, I led the infantry to charge the Zhang Liao cavalry regiment, which was already in disarray. Boil the ocean.
Even if Zhang Liao is defeated, it will be easy for his cavalry to break out of our encirclement.
The cavalry was at least ten times superior to the enemy, and the ratio of our enemy to the enemy was actually two to one. Worse still, we were half as many as cavalry.
When Zhang Liao saw that the infantry corps I led was actually charging at their cavalry, he must have thought that this commander was crazy. Zhang Liao rushed to my side with the rout.
Just when we were less than 500 meters away from Zhang Liao's cavalry, I gave an order. The drummers of the war beat the signal to retreat.
We retreated like a tide, and Zhang Liao's cavalry rushed like a flood.
The horse neighed, and Zhang Liao's war horse turned on his back. When they saw clearly, we had scattered countless thistles on the ground, and this thing was conceived by the old fox. The war horse stepped on it and fell to the ground instantly. The horse's hooves stepped on it and immediately overturned.
"Chop the horse's legs! Spearmen, on! "Our soldiers rushed to the ground. That is, walking without lifting your feet, sliding past. Because the underground is densely packed with thistles.
Zhang Liao felt bad, he wanted to turn around but it was still too late. The monkeys, their archers, immediately aimed at them.
"Whoosh! ......" The chaotic arrows that obscured the sky and the sun flew again.
We got too close, and we were always hurt by mistake, so our shield-bearers came into play.
And Zhang Liao's cavalry could not carry a shield at all, and instantly became a live target.
No matter how well-trained they were, Zhang Liao's cavalry was already in chaos at this moment. The drummers of the war beat the signal for the whole army to attack. Reserves had already come up to distribute weapons to the archers brought by the monkeys. So the archers threw away their crossbows, grabbed their spears, and rushed with them.
Fighting a war really requires the right time, the right place, and the right people. Now that we have the upper hand, we rush forward and fight.
As soon as the cavalry left the horse, his weakness was quickly exposed. Our spears have an absolute advantage.
"Shoot or kill!" Our soldiers shouted wildly.
Many of the encircled Cao troops began to raise their weapons.
A cavalry regiment of more than 30,000 people. It's not a small number, we only have more than 10,000 people.
Any battle. Whether it's an ambush or an encirclement or suppression. In the era of cold weapons, there are always fish that slip through the net, and it is impossible to completely annihilate the other party.
The entire battlefield became a sea of blood, and Zhang Liao's cavalry was less than 10,000 at this time. They began to flee north.
Zhao Yun's cavalry regiment was waiting for them. We only have 3,000 cavalry, and I will allocate all of them to Zhao Yun to lead.
Even so, Zhao Yun's morale-high iron armor of 3,000 cavalry still blocked Zhang Liao's cavalry corps of nearly 10,000 people. One is an attacker with high morale, and the other is a defeated side with no fighting spirit. Zhang Liao only led a few thousand iron horsemen to break through the encirclement and fled north.
We won by a big margin. In the era of cold weapons, the battles were very tragic. I'm used to killing on the battlefield, and it's often easy to decide whether a battle is won or lost. We don't get tired of deceit, and we win by stratagem.
I felt scared. I became a complete butcher because I was used to killing.
Every life deserves respect, and I deeply understand what it means to be successful in one life.
Zhao Yun rode over on a war horse, and he admired me very much now.
"Mr. Tu, you are more powerful than my military advisor. Zilong's five-body throw to the ground. Zhao Yun dismounted and hugged his fists.
I don't know whether to be happy or sad: "Clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses."
"General Zhao, what should we do with these generals?" I asked.
Zhao Yun touched his neck with his hand: "Pit kill!"
I was shocked: "Why, we can't keep them as generals?"
Zhao Yun seems to have gotten used to this kind of thing: "There has been this kind of thing before, my lord has taken in a team of bandits. Later, the bandits defected, and it is said that several villages were slaughtered. ”
I suddenly remembered Xiao Juan and them, and I asked Zhao Yun, "Is that bandit squad leader named Wu Tong?"
Zhao Yun was taken aback: "How do you know?"
I know, the rout we encountered in Xiaojuan's hometown was these people. I remember one of the soldiers calling Captain Wu Tong before he ran away.
"I saw them with my own eyes when they were slaughtering the village."
Zhao Yun was surprised: "You saw it with your own eyes?"
"We happened to bump into the rout when they were slaughtering the village, and we killed a few of them. Later, that Wu Tong and a few others ran away. We caught one, and he said it was Liu Bei's soldiers. ”
Zhao Yun sighed: "It's our fault, the military advisor didn't let us receive this team of soldiers and horses at that time. We did not listen, and we caused great trouble. ”
I was intrigued, so I asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Zhao Yunyan said: "When my father-in-law was in Jingzhou, it was rumored that there were a group of yellow turban remnants in Luocao Mountain. They gathered in the mountains and forests, and raided houses and houses. Later, my lord sent troops to suppress it. Capture their bandit leader Wu Tong alive and the cadres, etc., then Wu Tong begged my lord to say that he was willing to serve under his command. At that time, when there was a shortage of people, my father-in-law agreed. ”
"Then why did they turn against you again?" Zhao Yun and I talked as we walked. Soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield.
Zhao Yun led the horse: "Alas, this matter is a long story. After they were converted, they remained unruly. The military advisor has repeatedly persuaded us, and when my family master is just employing people, he only reprimands. At that time, my military advisor had already seen that they were wrong, and wanted the lord to cut them down to show the Fa-rectification. Who knew that Wu Tong didn't know where to get this information, and actually sneaked away with his people in the middle of the night. ”
"I see. But these people still continue to do evil under the banner of your father-in-law, and do all kinds of evil. ”
Zhao Yun sighed: "Yes, if we didn't listen to the military advisor, we wouldn't have caused this disaster and ruined the reputation of my lord everywhere."
I understand, so Liu Bei wants to click them when he encounters this kind of battlefield surrender again.
"General Zhao, leave these people to us, and we will accept them." I'm talking about the Cao army that surrendered, and they numbered four or five thousand.
Zhao Yun was taken aback: "These people are all Cao Cao's soldiers." Are you leaving them behind and not afraid that they will rebel? ”
I smiled: "Don't worry about this, they will only use it for me, and they will never turn against me."
Zhao Yun was skeptical, and it was difficult to say anything at the moment.
I said, "General Zhao, I don't know whether to say a word or not."
After this battle, Zhao Yun began to respect me: "Mr. Tu, please speak."
"This Mr. Pang Tong, you don't need to be careful about this person. This person is not simple. ”
Zhao Yun was suspicious in his heart: "Mr. Tu, you have talked about this matter, this Pang Tong has the ability to evaluate the heroes of the world." He is virtuous and peaceful, not like a small person. ”
I had to tell him the truth: "I don't know, this is what my family Ye Duyou told me." He said he told me to be wary of this person after he left. "To be honest, I really don't understand why the old fox asked me to be wary of Pang Tong.
Zhao Yun said in a low voice: "Could it be that my military advisor Tuo Ye Du said it?"
I laughed secretly in my heart, Zhao Yun really believed the old fox's nonsense.
