Chapter 431 [Luring Huang Zu to the Bait]
Chen Ying and Bao Long hunted in the mountains all the year round, and were not good at riding horses, so they fought on foot.
Chen Ying held two flying forks, one of which flew up and flew from the left to the belly of the black horse.
Bao Long was armed with several throwing knives, one of which flew towards the black horse with a prescriptive momentum, and the target was still the belly of the black horse.
If this flying fork and knife are shot, the black horse will die.
Wei Yan loved the horse as himself, and when he saw that these two people dared to hurt the black horse, he was furious, his legs were clamped, and the black horse rose into the air, avoiding the flying fork and the flying knife, but the flying fork and the flying knife continued to fly forward in a precedented, Chen Ying saw Bao Long's flying knife shooting at him, and Bao Long saw Chen Ying's flying fork shooting towards him, and they all hurriedly rolled to the ground to dodge.
When Chen Ying turned over and was about to dance the flying fork again, he saw the sharp tip of the knife coming out of his front heart, and the heart-rending pain was just like that, Chen Ying's eyes went black, and he died instantly.
As soon as Bao Long clenched the flying knife and was about to throw it again, he saw the red blade flicker in front of him, and a red blood line flashed around his neck.
Before he could react, Boron had already become a headless ghost.
The three masters of Jingnan, Xing Daorong, Chen Ying, and Bao Long, were not Wei Yan's enemies, and they were all killed by Wei Yan neatly!
The other generals under Liu Biao did not dare to rush forward to die, Wei Yance immediately took a step forward, and they actually took two or three steps back in a panic.
Soon, Wei Yan was only more than twenty steps away from Liu Biao, and these more than twenty steps were completely paved with the blood and corpses of the Jingzhou army.
Wei Yan hadn't killed anyone for a long time, and when his hands were itchy, he started to kill, only Liu Biao in his eyes and the rest were grass mustard, whether it was a general or a small soldier in Liu Biao's array, anyone who blocked Wei Yan died tragically under Wei Yan's red blood knife.
Wei Yan swung the red blood knife and rushed towards Liu Biao.
The soldiers under Liu Biao's command were loyal to him, and when they saw that the lord was in trouble, they all went to Liu Biao to escort him.
Wei Yan killed one and rushed up a pair, one after the other, no one backed down, and it was difficult for Wei Yan to rush to Liu Biao's side in a hurry.
Liu Biao originally wanted to show his blood courage as the lord, but when he saw Wei Yan coming over like a chopping wave, he hurriedly turned his horse and fled south, and the military generals under his command also fled south along the big valley with a puff of smoke.
And Liu Biao's die-hard soldiers were blocking Wei Yan's horse, Liu Biao's eyes were getting farther and farther away, Wei Yan shouted at Liu Biao's dead soldiers: "Liu Biao's general trend has gone, I will only punish Liu Biao alone, it has nothing to do with you, and you will not return quickly!" ”
Liu Biao's die-hard soldiers scolded loudly: "Wei Yan traitor, we are willing to repay the lord with death!" ”
Wei Yan was furious and shouted: "When you look for death, I will fulfill you!" As he spoke, brandishing the Red Blood Knife, a red dragon swirled and flew in the air, the stumps and flesh of Liu Biao's die-hard soldiers were scattered all over the place, and the blood was sprayed everywhere, Wei Yan was like a huge meat grinder, and there was no living life within a zhang of the surrounding area, whether it was the bodies of Liu Biao's die-hard soldiers or their war horses, they were all cut to pieces by the Red Blood Knife.
Wei Yan's tyrannical killing dissolved the heavy murderous aura in his body, and after a few rounds of killing, Wei Yan gradually calmed down the aura in his body, raised the red blood knife again, and shouted loudly: "Wei soldiers, rush with me!" Kill! ”
The 30,000 cavalry of the Wei army followed Wei Yan and shouted: "Kill! "The shouting of killing is earth-shattering.
Wei Yan wanted to hang up the Red Blood Knife, picked up the Overlord Bow hanging behind him, and shot Liu Biao with an arrow, but Liu Pan, the general under Liu Biao, saw Wei Yan's intention and commanded Liu Biao's diehard soldiers to entangle Wei Yan to the death, so that Wei Yan did not have time to hang up the Red Blood Knife and use the bow and arrow instead.
Wei Yan wielded the Red Blood Knife, harvesting the lives of Liu Biao's loyal soldiers like harvesting wheat, and looked coldly at Liu Biao's fleeing back, although I, Wei Yan, can't kill you with my own hands, but the ambush of my generals should be able to kill you!
Although Liu Biao had 20,000 diehard soldiers who were not afraid of death to block Wei Yan's charge, Liu Biao's Jingzhou soldiers were far inferior to the Wei army in terms of equipment, combat power and mental state, especially the Wei army was 30,000 elite cavalry charges, and against Liu Biao, there were only 80,000 Jingzhou infantry left, and the tiger entered the flock, and the formation of the 80,000 Jingzhou infantry was finally dispersed by the powerful offensive of the Wei cavalry, especially when Liu Biao himself turned around and fled, the morale of the Jingzhou army plummeted, and the whole line collapsed!
In the end, even those soldiers who were loyal to Liu Biao turned around and fled south.
Wei Yan's 30,000 cavalry were in hot pursuit, and many Jingzhou infantry couldn't outrun the four legs of the Wei cavalry on two legs.
The 30,000 Wei cavalry shouted: "Disarm and don't kill, surrender will be rewarded!" "Disarm and don't kill, surrender will be rewarded!"
Many Jingzhou infantry saw that they couldn't escape, and they didn't want to die under the hooves of the Wei cavalry, so they had to drop their weapons and kneel on the ground.
Wei Yan disliked these Jingzhou infantry obstructing the road, so he issued a military order: "The surrendered Jingzhou infantry must kneel on both sides of the road, and are not allowed to obstruct the road, and anyone who stands in the middle of the road to block the way will be killed!" ”
As soon as Wei Yan's military order came out, many Jingzhou infantry saw that Liu Biao was gone, and they all knelt on both sides of the Dagu road, waiting for the Wei infantry led by Chen Zhi to reorganize, while Wei Yan continued to lead the Wei cavalry to chase and kill Liu Biao.
Chase not a few miles, the ravines in front of are craggy, the mountain streams are dense, the mountain roads are rugged, it is very unfavorable for the cavalry to walk, the infantry take off their armor but it is very cheap, Liu Biao and all the civil and military generals under his command all dismounted and walked on foot, Wei Yan rode across the black horse and waded through the mountains and rivers like walking on the ground, but the war horses of the 30,000 cavalry under his command were all ordinary horses, and when they encountered such a complex terrain, they had to abandon their horses and walk.
Wei Yan frowned and looked at the road in front of him, and sighed: "I'm afraid that the cavalry is not as good as the ordinary infantry when they get off their horses, it's really overkill." ”
At this moment, Dian Wei in front of him held two people hostage and flew to report, saying that he had captured Wei Fei and Wei Xiang, two generals under Liu Biao.
Wei Fei and Wei Xiang were both from Xiangyang, and they were the generals temporarily recruited by Liu Biao before attacking Luoyang.
Both of them are horsemen, known as skilled in bow horses, if they are riding on horses, they can fight with Dian Wei for a few rounds, but the morale of the Jingzhou army collapsed, they were in a hurry to escape, hindered by the terrain, abandoned the horse and fled, but because they were not used to walking in the mountains and forests, after walking a few steps, Wei Fei fell into the water when crossing a small stream, and injured a leg, because the Jingzhou army scattered and fled, Wei Fei and Wei Xiang's corporal were all scattered, and Wei Xiang had to help his brother Wei Fei walk forward slowly.
Dian Wei roared in the mountains and forests for many years, foot combat is far better than horse battles, Dian Wei led hundreds of halberd warriors, jumping like flying, and caught up with the Jingzhou army after a short time, Dian Wei saw that these two guys who looked similar and suspected of being twin brothers were on the road, so he wanted to pick up the halberd and kill them, but saw that one of them was injured and the other supported the brotherhood, and couldn't bear to start, because these two generals were surnamed Wei, Dian Wei didn't know if they had a clan relationship with the lord, so he personally escorted the two to Wei Yan's horse and handed them over to Wei Yan himself.
Dian Wei searched for Liu Biao's seal letter from Wei Fei and Wei Xiang, because although Wei Fei and Wei Xiang were mediocre in martial arts, they were both quite handsome in appearance, and they were valued by the lord Liu Biao, who valued the outside more than the inside, and put them by his side, responsible for the seal letter and the honor guard.
Wei Yan looked at Wei Fei and Wei Xiang brothers, looked at the seal letter in his hand, and picked up the map around Luoyang, southeast of Luoyang is Yingchuan County, Chen County, Runan County, Liu Biao placed 30,000 horses in these three counties, led by the general Huang Zu, Wei Yan started the idea of these 30,000 horses.
He stepped forward to untie Wei Fei and Wei Xiang's five-flower ties, and smiled at them: "I have always valued the brothers of the same clan, Wei Zheng and other brothers of the same clan have been holding power since they followed me, and now they all hold heavy power, and you are now just the last general under Liu Biao, and the number of people has not yet exceeded a thousand, it is better to submit to me, I will definitely reuse you, you and I will create the glory of the Wei clan." ”
Wei Fei and Wei Xiang were not literati who read loyalty to the bone marrow, they were just ordinary military generals, and the generals were born in troubled times and believed in "having milk is a mother" and "knowing the times as a handsome man", not to mention that Wei Yan is still so affectionate and affectionate to trust the love of the same clan and brotherhood, and the face is sufficient, Wei Fei and Wei Xiang are a little too shameless if they still insist on being loyal to Liu Biao to death, Wei Fei and Wei Xiang immediately leaned down and bowed in front of Wei Yan: "Surrender generals Wei Fei and Wei Xiang have thanked the lord for not killing!" ”
Wei Yan saw their talents, knew that they were too far behind Wei Zheng and the others, and did not really want to accept them as brothers of the same clan, and at the same time, he did not have much confidence in the loyalty of the two of them, so he smiled and said: "You have just returned to the past, and you have not made an indecision, and it is inconvenient to reward them, and now there is an opportunity for you to establish meritorious deeds, I don't know if you are willing to go out?" ”
Wei Fei and Wei Xiang smiled together: "The lord has orders, and the end will do everything!" ”
Wei Yan smiled and pointed to the direction of Jiangxia County on the map: "Liu Biao's general Huang Zutong 30,000 horses came from Jiangxia County, gathered here, and was too close to Luoyang, for my henchmen, now that Liu Biao is newly defeated, the news has not yet reached Huang Zu, so you will rush to Huang Zu and tell him that Liu Biao is trapped in Dagu, so Huang Zu will quickly send 30,000 horses to support." ”
Wei Fei and Wei Xiang were stunned and said, "The last general doesn't know why the lord acts like this?" ”
Wei Yan didn't bother to say more to them, and smiled mysteriously: "You just need to bring Huang Zu's 30,000 horses to Dagu, you must take Huang Zu along this path." ”
Wei Fei and Wei Xiang glanced at each other, they could almost guess that Wei Yan wanted to surround the point and send reinforcements to eliminate Huang Zu's 30,000 horses, if they could really surrender Wei Yan, they would naturally willingly send this false information to Huang Zu, but after all, the families of the two were in Xiangyang, if they surrendered Wei Yan, their families would definitely be eliminated by Liu Biao, this time the two brothers were sent to Huang Zu by Wei Yan, that is, the fish was decoupled, there was no need to work for Wei Yan anymore, so he told Huang Zu the truth and asked him not to come here to die, Even if the lord Liu Biao dies in the big valley, there is still the young lord Liu Qi who can assist.
Wei Yan's eyes were like lightning, and he could see that the expressions of these two people were strange, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry about your family, I have installed a lot of fine works in Xiangyang City, and I will let those fine works quietly bring the direct family members of the two of you to Luoyang, and the two of you can serve the Wei army wholeheartedly without worries." Wei Fei's leg was injured, and he was not good at walking, so he stayed in the army to recuperate, and he bothered Wei Xiang that you had a trip, remember, you must take Huang Zu on that road, and then you will evacuate in time according to the situation. ”
After Wei Yan's words came out, Wei Fei and Wei Xiang were terrified, knowing that Wei Yan was not at ease with him, not only did he let the fine work in Xiangyang City control his immediate family, but also put Wei Fei in the army, Wei Fei and Wei Xiang didn't dare to have any strange thoughts.
Wei Fei remained in Wei Yan's army and was guarded by Dian Wei's halberd soldiers.
Wei Xiang made himself even more embarrassed, his body was full of splashes of blood, and he seemed to have experienced a tragic battle, with Liu Biao's seal, he rode his horse and whipped, and went straight to Huang Zu's army.
Huang Zu heard Wei Xiang say that Liu Biao's defeat was surrounded in Dagu, he thought Wei Xiang was joking, when he listened to Liu Biao's entire defeat process, especially when he heard that Wei Yan personally commanded 30,000 cavalry to kill, Huang Zu had to admit that his lord Liu Biao was unjustly defeated this time.
Huang Zu has followed Liu Biao for many years and is Liu Biao's loyal dog, and when he learned that Liu Biao was trapped, he quickly sent people to gather all the 30,000 horses under his command and rushed to the direction of Dagu Pass for reinforcements.
A general persuaded Huang Zu to leave some men and horses to prevent the full favor and others who stayed in Yiyang from taking advantage of the situation to invade the county and county seats, Huang Zu yelled angrily: "If the lord is not there, what is the use of guarding these cities?" ”
Seeing that Huang Zu was so excited, the general didn't dare to persuade him again, Huang Zu poured out all the horses, and the only ones left to guard the county town were the county soldiers hurriedly put together by the local families.
These county soldiers are all hastily gathered farmers, whether it is equipment, training or discipline, they are not even as good as the township soldiers in Wei Yan's jurisdiction, and they are simply unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the county and county towns, but Huang Zu learned that the lord was besieged by Wei Yan and had no master, so he didn't care about these things at all.
Wei Yan saw Wei Xiang pat his horse and leave, so he sent an order: "This general will lead 20,000 elite cavalry to snipe Huang Zu, and the rest of the cavalry will be commanded by Zhao Yun, and the infantry under the command of Chen Zhi will clean up the battlefield and block the north road of Dagu to prevent Liu Biao's Jingzhou army from escaping from the north road." Hao Zhao led 8,000 crossbowmen on horseback to snipe Huang Zu with me. ”
Wei Yan, together with his generals Dian Wei and Pan Feng, led 20,000 elite cavalry, retreated to Dagu Pass, and joined Hao Zhao's 8,000 crossbowmen to go straight to Yuyuan Pass from the official road between Dagu Pass and Luoyang.
Yuyuan Pass is at the junction of Yanshi and Dengfeng, between Taimur Mountain and Shaomu Mountain, the road is dangerous, there are 12 curves, the loop is circling, it will go back, so it is called Yuyuan Pass, it is the shortcut to Xu, Chen in Luoyang.
Wei Yan led 20,000 cavalry to rest in Yuyuan Pass for three days, and when the scouts in front found that Huang Zu's men and horses were fifty miles away from the main road in front of Yuyuan Pass, Wei Yan set off and led 20,000 cavalry and 8,000 crossbowmen to ambush on both sides of Shannan Road leading to Luoyang in Yingchuan County, preparing to ambush Huang Zu!
