Chapter 12: Alone in the Rescue
There was a moment of silence at the noisy scene, whether it was the Jizhou army or the soldiers and horses brought by Xiahou Bo, they didn't expect that not long ago, they were still majestic, killing Jiang Yiqu to throw away his armor and run away in embarrassment, and he was cut off the horse without even holding it in front of Yan Liang!
is not facing the top generals, and will never be able to appreciate the terrifying oppressive power of the top generals, in fact, Xiahou Bo still has the courage to charge Yan Liang after the great decline of his spirit, which is already a very brave performance.
After a moment of silence, followed by earth-shattering cheers in the Jizhou army, even Jiang Yiqu came out of the crowd, looked at Xiahou Bo's corpse, spat viciously, grabbed a big knife and stepped forward to face Xiahou Bo's head.
"Bang~"
With a crisp sound, a big knife suddenly poked out from the oblique stab, and swept Jiang Yiqu's big knife away.
"General, you ......" Jiang Yiqu looked up and looked at Shang Yan Liang with a disgusted expression.
"Although this person is an enemy, he is also a hero, and he can be killed and not humiliated!" Yan Liang snorted coldly and glanced at him indifferently: "Gather up his corpse and let the soldiers on the other side bring it back." ”
"Whoa!"
Without waiting for Jiang Yiqu to say more, Yan Liang's personal guards had already stepped forward and collected Xiahou Bo's corpse with a pair of armor, and he didn't worry about those Xiahou Bo's troops, so he put Xiahou Bo's corpse in front of the army and retreated silently.
"General, why are you ......" Jiang Yiqu wanted to say more, but saw that Yan Liang had already stepped out and came to a group of Liu Beijun soldiers.
Looking at a pair of eyes with hidden anger, Yan Liang said indifferently: "What is this person's name?" ”
A general who accompanied the formation stood out, looked at Yan Liang, and said loudly: "My general is Xiahou Bo, the captain of the Yue Cavalry!" ”
"Xiahou Bo?" Yan Liang's gaze swept over the other party's hand holding the weapon, nodded and said: "But it is a hero, a certain does not respect his martial arts, but respects him when he is in danger, he is still willing to wait for your safety, regardless of his righteousness, although he failed to stop me, but in order to let the hero blind, and let Er wait to return to the camp, wait for his body to be buried, and then win or lose!" ”
"General!" Hearing Yan Liang say this, all the soldiers who came out of the camp with Xiahou Bo immediately cried bitterly and knelt down in front of Xiahou Bo's corpse.
After Yan Liang finished speaking, he turned his horse back to the army and met Jiang Yiqu with an angry face.
"General Yan, even if you are the vanguard commander, you are so arrogant and miss the opportunity, how do you explain in front of the lord!?" Jiang Yiqu was a little angry, the enemy's main general was dead, it was the best time to break the army, but Yan Liang missed it, which made Jiang Yiqu, who was thinking that he had lost face in front of the three armies and wanted to save face, how could he not be angry!
"Opportunity?" Yan Liang laughed when he heard this, and pointed at Liu Bei's troops who were collecting the corpse for Xiahou Bo: "General Jiang, look at their eyes!" ”
Jiang Yiqu looked back in confusion, and saw several soldiers looking towards this side with fierce faces, which felt less like people, more like a pack of injured wolves.
"This is ......" Jiang Yiqu subconsciously swallowed his saliva, although he didn't pay much attention to those soldiers, but that kind of gaze full of desire for destruction made Jiang Yiqu can't help but have an unspeakable cold in his heart.
"Mourning Soldiers!" Yan Liang took a deep breath and sighed: "Just look at this person when he is in danger, but regardless of his own safety, he would rather die to protect them, I know that this person must be very popular on weekdays, if you really insult his corpse before, you will inevitably be desperately resisted by these soldiers, although our army is not afraid, but if there are too many of them, how to fight that Liu Bei?" ”
"The last will be taught!" Jiang Yiqu smiled bitterly and said that since Wen Chou's death, this Yan Liang has not only become more and more advanced in martial arts, but even the art of war and strategy seem to have improved a lot compared to before.
"It's just that our army is confronting him like this?" Jiang Yiqu looked at Yan Liang, they are pioneers! Wouldn't it be ridiculous to confront a remnant of a lost commander like this?
"The momentum of mourning soldiers cannot last, if the war starts before, the enemy may fight to the death, but after this stagnation, morale is self-draining, and when the battle is fought again, it is naturally difficult to have the previous momentum." Yan Liang's gaze was always indifferent, as if nothing in this world could make him have the slightest emotional fluctuation.
The reason why Xiahou Bo's body was returned before was of course because of his admiration, but more importantly, he hoped to annihilate this army at the lowest cost.
"The general is wise!" Jiang Yiqu said embarrassedly when he heard this.
"It's not that I'm wise, it's just that I'm a general, but I don't want to make progress on weekdays, so there will be such a gap." Yan Liang glanced at the direction of the enemy camp: "Wait for him for an hour, an hour later, launch an attack and annihilate the enemy army!" ”
"Whoa!" Jiang Yiqu bowed down, they received Sun Ce's message in the early hours of this morning, came to intercept it, and they were not tired, and after resting for an hour, there would be no loss of Huns outside Chang'an City.
Dozens of miles away on the other side, Guan Yu was rushing to the direction of the Wei clan with more than 1,000 people, but he was encountering someone sent by Xiahou Bo to ask for help.
"Prince!" After the visitor saw Guan Yu, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "The humble duty is General Xiahou's personal guard, and General Xiahou encountered Yan Liang, the general of Jizhou, in front, and he was specially ordered to ask the lord for help!" ”
"Yan Liang?" When Guan Yu heard this, a pair of lying silkworm eyebrows twisted: "How many people are there in the thief army?" ”
"No less than 10,000 people!" The guards smiled bitterly: "There are many thieves, I don't know how many people and horses the prince brought?" ”
After Guan Yu was silent for a moment when he heard this, he said in a deep voice: "There are only more than a thousand people!" ”
"Thousand ...... More than 1,000 people!? The guard's eyes widened incredulously, no matter how powerful Guan Yu was, no one would think that Guan Yu's soldiers and horses would be able to be ten with one.
After a moment of silence, Guan Yu looked at this person: "Go and save people, you continue to go to the lord, explain the matter, and ask the lord to send troops to rescue as soon as possible." ”
"The prince can't, the thief is fierce, the prince only has more than a thousand people, how can he be an opponent? Seeing that there are a lot of cavalry in the Yan Liang army, the prince must not take risks, it is better to wait for reinforcements and go together! The guard hurriedly said anxiously.
"Yan Liangnaihe/General Peking University, how can you be idle? When we wait for reinforcements, I'm afraid that Ziying is already in trouble! Guan Yu snorted coldly, and didn't say anything more, took Zhou Cang and his own thousand school swordsmen, and went straight to the way the scout came, and after a while, there was only a piece of smoke and dust left in his sight, and gradually went away, the guards gritted their teeth, turned over again, and rushed towards the direction of Liu Bei's army pointed out by Guan Yu.
But said that after Guan Yu learned that Xiahou Bo was in danger, he quickly whipped his horse and led a thousand school swordsmen to march quickly, and when he saw Xiahou Bo's camp, it was already two hours later, Yan Liang had already begun to attack the camp, in addition, there was also a cavalry cruising on the side, and at the same time as Guan Yu led the army to arrive, these cavalry also discovered Guan Yu's troops at the same time.
"But a thousand foot soldiers, dare to come to find death!" Jiang Yiqu was depressed in his heart, originally the matter of attacking the camp was handed over to himself, but because he had been defeated for a while before, Yan Liang was worried that being commanded by him would affect morale, so he asked him to lead the cavalry to guard the Quartet, and Yan Liang personally led the army to attack.
That's a feat!
Jiang Yiqu was a little reluctant, like Yan Liang, a general who Yuan Shao relied on, and the merits of a partial division were naturally not taken into account, but for these people, these feats were the qualifications for promotion, and they were even more resentful of the dead Xiahou Bo in his heart.
Just when he was unhappy, he saw a reinforcement from Liu Beijun appear in sight, and he was immediately overjoyed, he didn't expect God to favor him so much and send him meritorious service!
The other party saw that there were only more than 1,000 people, and all of them were foot soldiers, but he was 2,000 cavalry!
Cavalry against infantry, and the number is twice that of the opponent, if this is not yet victorious, it is really unreasonable.
Seeing that the enemy army had also discovered itself, he began to stop his march and formed a formation to prepare for the enemy.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" The other party did not flee as imagined and let himself have a hearty pursuit and annihilation battle, but tried to resist hard to make him a little unhappy, but so what?
The cavalry began to accelerate, the earth retreated like a tide, Jiang Yiqu raised the spear in his hand high, and suddenly accelerated when he was still two hundred steps away from the other party, broke away from the cavalry formation, and ran to the side, watching the cavalry begin to rush towards the opponent's camp, and the scene of the opponent's fragile camp being crushed by the cavalry in an instant appeared in his mind.
On the other side, when Guan Yu launched a charge, his eyes were slightly cold, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was raised high, and he said loudly: "Prepare to throw a gun!" ”
This school knife hand was personally trained by Guan Yu, eating and living together, and it was also the most elite soldier in Liu Bei's hands except for the white-eared elite soldiers trained by Chen Zhi, each with a one-handed knife, three throwing spears and a pair of bows and arrows.
This is not the first time Guan Yu has fought with cavalry, he has fought with Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry more than once, and after suffering several times among Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riders, this school knife man can be said to be specially born to deal with cavalry.
The three throwing spears were all cast in metal bronze, and they were sufficient, and although they did not have a long range, they could penetrate the horse's body.
Although with the impact of the war horse, inertia alone can rush over, but Guan Yu's tactics are to give up defense and lose both, but he didn't expect the first shot, not used on Cao Cao's tiger and leopard horse, but on this Jizhou army!
"Triple shot!!" The big knife raised high slashed down, and when the opponent was a hundred steps away from him, he suddenly gave an order.
Whoosh~
With a sound of breaking through the air, one after another throwing spears swept into the air, and the range of the throwing spears was no more than fifty paces, but the distance of fifty paces was only a matter of moments for the galloping cavalry.
In Jiang Yiqu's incredible gaze, the throwing spears that shimmered with a cold luster fell like raindrops, and a knight who couldn't dodge couldn't even scream, so he was pierced through his body by the throwing spears that fell from the sky.
Three rounds of spear throwing only took the lives of more than 200 people, but the fallen horse corpse became the most powerful weapon to delay the opponent!
