Chapter 460: Counting and Eliminating Yan Xing
For the time being, there are only six chapters. Recently, I have been herding cattle and chopping firewood every day, and I am tired of becoming a dog. There is no internet in Shankakari, so today I went to the city to update it. Please forgive me, hehe.
"Abandon the formation, and charge and kill in an all-round way."
Pang De broke through the Yuyang Assault Cavalry Defense Line, and Lu Bu grasped the fleeting fighter and led the infantry to abandon the battle formation and enter the Yuyang Assault Cavalry Formation. Although the sweat and blood cavalry is powerful, it slaughters the Yuyang Raid on the ground, and the Yuyang Raid always occupies a numerical advantage, and when the sweat and blood rider is exhausted, this advantage will be slowly lost, and it will fall into a bitter battle. Lu Bu led dozens of bloody battles, how could he not know the flaws.
When the sweaty and bloody cavalry broke through the enemy formation, the whole army was dispatched at the same time. The infantry threw off their legs, like dense ants running to the Yuyang Assault Cavalry, and the casualties of the Yuyang Assault Cavalry increased greatly after being routed and scattered. The infantry inflicted far more ground damage on the cavalry than the cavalry.
The crossbow battalion has been wandering on the edge of the battlefield, slowly mobilizing their horses, waiting for the Yuyang Raiders to break through and escape. Tian Yu had a bad premonition in his heart, as a veteran of the battlefield, he keenly smelled the increasingly unfavorable battlefield. Looking up at the outline of Xiangcheng in the distance, the two armies fought bloodily for more than an hour, but they could not see the shadow of their own reinforcements on the road outside the city.
However, the speed and strength of the sweaty horse are still undiminished, and the perverted strength and endurance of the sweaty horse make Yuyang Rush Rider desperate. Rushing back and forth to break through the formation, destroying the defense line of Yuyang Assault Cavalry little by little.
In a confrontation with heavy cavalry, he was injured by rubbing, and minor injuries were also serious injuries. And in the confrontation with the infantry, there was no minor injury, at least if the infantry approached, he would be dragged off his horse, and he would never be able to return to his own position, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.
"Breakout!" Finally, Tian Yu clenched his teeth and squeezed out two words from his chest and lungs. This means that he will flee regardless of losses. Yuyang Raid is not only the elite of the Cao army, after the defeat of Gongsun Zhan in that year, Tian Yu led the most elite white horse Yicong under his command to form as the core, after countless bloody battles to eliminate the inferior soldiers, each of them is a brave sand field warrior, is Tian Yu's life's hard work, and the soldiers who died in battle are brothers with him day and night for ten years.
However, in this battle, he was defeated by a group of remnants and killed with heavy casualties, and more than half of them were killed. How did he explain to his hometown fathers? However, he had to preserve his strength, Cao Cao's elite was lost, and he had to save this elite cavalry to give Cao Cao an explanation.
At the sound of an order, Yuyang Turquoise left his companions trapped in the infantry formation, and these companions cut off their tails, and turned around and ran towards Xiangcheng in the distance.
"Drive."
At the same time as Yuyang's sudden cavalry turned around, the crossbow camp moved, let go of the reins with both hands and let the war horse gallop, and chased after him with the repeater. I pull two long lines to run and shorten the distance a little.
The Yuyang Assault Cavalry is a Youzhou soldier, and the Lian Crossbow Battalion is the Xiliang Horse. Xiliang horses travel all over the world, and the speed of the crossbow camp without heavy armor is much faster than the speed and explosiveness of the Youzhou war horse.
The crossbow battalion chased from the rear, and every time the war horse stepped on a hoof, Yuyang suddenly rode the center of the earth and beat with it, and the sound of the horse's hooves like raindrops was getting closer and closer, and the sound of crossbow strings was still in the ears.
There was a muffled bang. The rear light cavalry landed with a heavy crossbow.
"Shoot back!"
Although the Yuyang Turquoise Cavalry was a light cavalry, some of them could shoot arrows even without saddle stirrups.
Just as they let go of their hands and stretched out their bows and arrows, another burst of short arrows flew straight at them, specifically shooting at these horsemen who were good at shooting on the ground. Plop plop and fall to the ground, the sound is loud. Loosen the reins, the cavalry relied on the strength of their legs to clamp the horse's belly, and the crossbow arrow in the body was painfully painful, and as soon as the leg was loosened, as long as the middle arrow was bound to fall off the horse.
Tian Yu was furious in his heart, and when he saw that some soldiers released the reins and shot angrily, he hurriedly shouted: "Rush forward with all your might, no counterattack!" β
It's okay that these soldiers don't open their bows, but once they open their bows and arrows, they reveal that they are elite cavalry, and they become the key targets of the crossbow battalion.
Yuyang's cavalry rushed forward violently, rushing towards Xiangcheng with red eyes, and most of the cavalry fell on the road of retreating back to the city for more than ten miles. Finally, Yuyang suddenly fled for his life and approached the city gate. The crossbow battalion that pursued them had to give up and retreat.
At this time, LΓΌ Meng led a detachment of local divisions to successfully destroy the Yuyang Turquoise Cavalry Battalion, and all the grain and grass were destroyed in a fire.
Boom.
In the south of the city, thousands of horses are running together. Riding a yellow and white horse, a general held a horse lance in his early two feet, and Yan Xing came to the aid with tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry.
"Enemy reinforcements are coming, withdraw."
Lu Bu threw the torch in his hand into the camp and led his soldiers to retreat into the mountains and forests.
Yan Xing arrived at the battlefield, his eyes were full of anger, his large battalion was broken into the trapped camp, and the defeated soldiers of the trapped camp chiseled a pair, and he still failed to annihilate the entire army of the trapped camp, and delayed the timely support of the Yuyang Assault Cavalry, can you not be angry?
Yan Xingdi's face flickered in the firelight, full of uncertainties. In the distance, a man was standing on his horse, staring at him thoughtfully. This person is Lu Bu, Lu Bu suffered a great defeat, and his troops were far inferior to Cao Cao's troops in Xiangcheng, but the generals of Lu Budi did not lose, and Cao Cao's important generals were killed and wounded.
Tian Yu suffered this fiasco, although Cao Cao reused, but it was absolutely impossible for him to urgently need to lead troops in a short period of time, and Yu Banle and Li Dian were the core figures of Cao Cao, and it was difficult to separate, only this halfway to the ground Yan Xing was the easiest to start, and it was also the easiest to arouse Cao Cao's suspicions.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu already had an idea. Lu Bu wanted to get rid of the generals around Cao Cao who could be eliminated one by one, cut off Cao Cao's arm, and see how Cao Cao could fly.
"Go to the mountains to find an old farmer, I have a lot of use." Lu Bu commanded a soldier beside him.
Lu Buyi camped under Xuanyuan Mountain, pretending to be a god and a ghost every day to beg for food and stabilize the morale of the army. Three days later, Zang Ba, Xu Shu and others Lu Xun led the rout to join the army. Within a few days, the number of Lu Bu's army reached more than 40,000. And Huang Zhong led the new soldiers of Di'an to attack Wancheng.
ββββββββββββββββββ
Cao Cao underestimated Lu Bu's determination to fight for two hundred injuries, and underestimated Lu Bu's determination to win or lose in a battle, thinking that Lu Bu would take the opportunity to return to Chang'an even if he survived. Miscalculated strategic decisions, forming a situation that is now cut off by Zhang Liao's army. In the past few days, he has been looking for fighters, and every time he fights, Lu Bu hangs up the war-free card and only sticks to it. Cao Ren attacked the city and pulled out the village, and had captured the entire annex except Yanmen County, and surrounded Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army in Yanmen, and Zhang Yan had plans to surrender and rebel.
Cao Ren attacked the city and pulled out the village, and was about to jump over the Yellow River and go straight to Feng Yi and other places in the north, but Cao Cao was not happy.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, only cities such as Puyang have not fallen into the hands of Zhang Liao, and the roads in Hebei have basically been completely blocked, and the grain and grass are difficult to sustain. Fortunately, Cao Cao was able to obtain grain and grass from Xuzhou and parts of Qingzhou and Yuzhou. However, these three states are barren and dilapidated, and the grain and grass are difficult to sustain, so it is imperative to open up the grain road in Hebei. It was precisely because Cao Cao had a choice of food and grass supply that when Zhang Liao used an adventurous strategy to cut off Cao Cao's northern road, Cao Cao would not panic and immediately sent troops to reinforce him.
Cao Cao faced an embarrassing situation, that is, he felt that there was no general available to the DPRK and China.
"Order Xiahou Mao to be the grain and grass official, and Zheng Gao Lan to be the deputy general to open the road to the south."
Cao Cao's order was transmitted to Yecheng, and Cao Zhi, with the support of Wang Xiu, wanted to deprive Xiahou Mao of his military power on the grounds that he was cowardly and unscrupulous, and personally led the army to cross the Yellow River south and attack Zhang Liao's department.
However, Cao Pi, who was in charge of the Hebei military and political affairs, blocked it. Cao Pi thought that the Chang'an army was defeated, the deployment was top-heavy, the rear was empty, and there was no doubt that he would be defeated, which was a good time to inherit the family business for meritorious service, Cao Pi entrusted military and political affairs to Xun Yu, and personally led the 300,000 troops from the collection area to the south and advanced to Pingqiu Yanjin generation.
On this day, a scribe walked out of the camp of Lu Bu and went straight to Yanxing Dazhai. As soon as the scribe arrived outside the Yanxing Village, he saw two columns of tiger guards guarding the camp, so the scribe turned around and left.
Seeing that the scribe's behavior was suspicious, Cao Bing, who was guarding the door, shouted, "Stop! Who? β
"In Liangwuding, Xiaxi, he is a classmate and friend of General Yan Xing, entrusted by General Yan Xing's father, and a letter was sent." Wu Ding said in a panic.
Yan Xing was entrusted by Zhong Xuan to leave Xuchang, and his father's younger one should stay in Xiliang, and was later captured by Lu Bu and moved to Chang'an to settle down. Everyone in Cao Ying's camp knew about it. Cao Bing listened to Wu Ding's explanation, and his face was unhappy.
"Are you a minion of Chang'an?"
"I'm a friend of Yan Xing." Wu Ding bit down.
"The prime minister orders troops today, and come back tomorrow!" Cao Bing's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said with bad intentions.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm being abrupt and presumptuous, I don't know that the prime minister is here, and I'm leaving." After Wu Ding finished speaking, he turned around and trotted to escape.
"Wait!" A veteran in armor who seemed to have a certain military rank among the Cao soldiers shouted.
Wu Ding turned around in fear: "What else is the matter with the military master?" β
The veteran smelled something extraordinary, so he soothed and comforted: "I don't know that Mr. is a friend of my general, please enter the camp and wait for a while, and a certain family will go to tell my general." β
"No, no." Wu Ding hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't know that the prime minister is here, if I collide with the prime minister, how can we bear it." Besides, Brother Yan and I are each our masters, if it arouses the suspicion of the prime minister and spoils Brother Yan's future, what face will I have to see my old friends. I'll just wait for Brother Yan outside the camp, all the words are in the letter of the old lady Yan, if the military master can pass it through, thank you in advance. β
"Okay, sir, wait a minute." The veteran first saluted Wu Ding respectfully, and then whispered to a soldier in an instant when he bowed his head: "Go and tell the prime minister." β
After the old soldier finished speaking, he turned around and went to the camp to invite Yan Xing.
Wu Ding secretly threw a small strip of cloth on the ground, moved the soles of his feet without a trace, and buried the strip of cloth with fine mud and sand.
Cao Cao arrived one step ahead of Yan Xing, hiding from a distance and watching. When Yan Xing arrived, he saw Wu Ding greeted him enthusiastically from afar, and Yan Xing had a trace of doubt on his face, and opened his mouth to ask, "What are the feet?" β
It turned out that Yan Xing didn't know Wu Ding, and Wu Ding was his classmate and friend, but he was just a Xiliang soldier randomly selected by Lu Bu from the army. There was a difference on Wu Ding's face, and then he had a bright expression after doing something wrong, and suddenly realized, and said with a look of wanting to cover up:
"Yes, yes, I don't know my foot."
