Chapter Twenty-Three: Encounters

Just when Zhang Liao and the others returned to the camp, the Xianbei Department, some tribes closer to the camp, also escorted the grain and returned to the camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Counting the number of people, it was found that there were many small tribes missing, but no one cared, these small tribes were divided into places a little far away from the big camp, if the grain was not harvested, they would generally spend the night outside, and would not return, which was a normal thing in the past.

On the second day, there was no abnormality in the Xianbei camp, and Zhang Liao still led this group of cavalry to sweep nearby, but there were obviously fewer Xianbei people encountered that day.

……

On the third day, when Zhang Liao and others were aiming at a tribe with a number of about 500 and were about to start, they suddenly encountered a cavalry, and the two teams collided head-on.

The man who came was a general at the root of Budu, who led 2,000 cavalry to patrol the vicinity.

As for why the cavalry was encountered, it has to start from yesterday.

Yesterday at noon, those small tribes still no one came back, this is a little wrong, Budugen for safety, sent people to the villages and towns where several small tribes are located to check, but found that the people of the small tribe with all the food and grass disappeared, there are still blood stains on the ground, scouts guessed, it may be an enemy attack, the whole army was wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, in the evening, a soldier of a small tribe reported that they had been attacked by the Han army, and all of them were killed, only he quietly returned to the town because he went out to relieve himself, heard the shouts of killing, but saw about two thousand Han troops, some were cleaning the battlefield, some were burying the corpses, he hid and escaped by luck.

Bu Dugen was furious after hearing this, yesterday, the clansmen who should have come back were less than 2,000 people in total, and now it seems that they should all be wiped out by the Han people.

In order not to disturb the morale of the army, Bu Dugen did not make a public announcement, and quietly sent 9,000 cavalry, divided into three teams, to inspect the surrounding villages and towns, and directly eliminate the Han cavalry when encountered.

So there is also a scene where Zhang Liao encounters this cavalry.

Since he has met, there is naturally nothing to say, as for escaping, not to mention that the surroundings are full of Xianbei cavalry, once he is surrounded, then he will face more Xianbei soldiers, besides, unless his horse is fast, otherwise the cavalry is engaged, it is difficult to escape, this place is still some distance from the fortress, if you want to retreat to the fortress, I am afraid that you must first defeat this cavalry.

Zhang Liao looked at the Xianbei people, gathered the formation, waved the green dragon halberd in his hand forward, and rushed towards the enemy formation first, and the soldiers behind him consciously used him as an arrow and lined up in a sharp array.

When the Xianbei people saw that Zhang Liao did not flee, but instead launched a charge, they all screamed and pounced on them.

Cavalry battles have always been very cruel, and many cavalry in the front row had no time to dodge because of the fast horses, and they collided straight together.

The impact force is very great, the front row of cavalry horses collided, many horses' skulls were shattered, fell to the ground, the cavalry naturally fell, did not have time to dodge, was trampled to death and injured by the cavalry charging in the rear, whether it was a person or a horse.

The corpses were trampled on in a bad way, and some people even trampled the corpses into flesh by the war horses on both sides.

There are a lot of people on both sides, and they are gradually losing their speed, and what Zhang Liao and the others need to face next will be a scuffle.

Dogfights are the most reflexive, not only do you need to pay attention to the enemies in front of you, but you also need to pay attention to the cold knives that can be slashed from the back at any time, and if you dodge slowly, you are likely to die.

And Zhang Liao, at this time, not only needs to avoid the enemy's attacks, but also observes the enemy generals, commands the army, and gathers soldiers from time to time.

Half an hour later.

At this time, the balance of victory had tilted towards the other party, and as more and more Xianbei people rushed to hear the sound nearby, there were no less than 4,000 Xianbei soldiers at this moment, and the pressure faced by Zhang Liao and the others was also greater.

Zhang Liao took advantage of the fact that the enemy in front of him was emptied, and quickly observed the situation on the battlefield, his side had been divided into several parts, facing the siege of several times the enemy, looking at the enemy general who was slaughtering his own soldiers in front of him, and commanding the Xianbei people to besiege his own soldiers from time to time, Zhang Liao said to more than 100 people who followed him closely: "Everyone, kill with me." ”

Then he rode his horse and rushed straight to the enemy general, and if he wanted to win this battle, he must be beheaded and killed the enemy's main general.

Charging all the way, Zhang Liao had fewer and fewer soldiers following him, and by the time he came to the enemy general, there were less than 100 people.

Xianbei saw Zhang Liao kill in front of him, and also waved the weapon in his hand to kill him. This Xianbei master still has some martial arts, Zhang Liao fought all the way, and it took a lot of effort, so he was killed after more than a dozen moves.

"The enemy general is dead, and all the soldiers will be killed with me!" Zhang Liao's voice spread all around, and the soldiers near him heard it, and they all exerted their strength to kill the enemy in front of him and head towards Zhang Liao.

Around Zhang Liao, the soldiers who could speak the Xianbei language also began to say in Xianbei dialect: "The general is dead, the general is dead!" ”

As soon as the Xianbei people saw that Zhang Liao was holding the head of the general, they immediately panicked, and the Xianbei formation, which lacked command, was easily killed by Zhang Liao, rescued the surrounded soldiers, and broke through in the direction of the fortress.

Returning to the camp to count the number of people, this encounter killed more than 800 people, 300 seriously wounded, and the rest were wounded.

After simply treating the wound, Zhang Liao went to the big tent to plead guilty.

told Zhang Zai about the process of this encounter, Zhang Liao knelt down and said: "The humble impulse has lost more than 1,000 soldiers, and I ask the lord to punish him." ”

Zhang Zai helped Zhang Liao up, looked at him covered with scars, and said: "Wen Yuan can't be blamed for this matter, we are also careless, I didn't expect this Budugen to be so cautious, besides, in this battle, you are facing twice as many enemies, destroying more than 1,300 people in the Xianbei Division, and killing a member of the deputy general Budugen, what is the crime." ”

The generals on the side also looked at Zhang Liao with admiration, they didn't expect that under the condition of inferior troops, Zhang Liao could still cause such a large casualty to the opposite side, and his own loss was only half.

"Wen Yuan doesn't have to blame himself, go down and rest, heal your injuries, this cavalry still depends on you to command." Jang Jae comforted.

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Liao didn't expect Zhang Zai to trust him so much, you know, he only had 3,000 cavalry, and he was broken by one-third of it at once.

After Zhang Liao left, Zhang Zai said: "Xianbei has lost more than 3,000 people in the past two days, I'm afraid Budugen will not be able to sit still, and the next thing is a tough battle, I hope you will prepare early." ”

He still has some things that he doesn't say clearly, in fact, his strategy is risky, once Budugen withdraws his troops, then the grain in the nearby towns will be lost.

All he wanted was Budugen to stay now

At this time, Budugen was angry with the seven orifices of smoke, three days, the loss of soldiers, some leaders in the tribe already have opinions on him, today is the frontal battlefield, the cavalry battle lost to the Han.

It's a shame!

If it weren't for the death of the main general, Bu Dugen really wanted to break him into pieces.

For the sake of now, he can only forcibly silence the voice of the clan.
