Chapter 318: The Great Retreat of Yanjin (12) 2/2
Qu meets gathering, tower village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
There are still thousands of people waiting to cross the river at the ferry, but the Yuan army is chasing and has appeared at the entrance of Tacun Village.
Gan Ning's face was cold, staring at the approaching pursuers of the Yuan army, and a cold smile appeared on his handsome face......
"Faith, are you ready?"
"To be ready."
"On my order, the whole army retreated into the village...... Yuan thief cavalry is the mainstay, and when they enter the village, they lose their usefulness...... Come, notify the ferry, and speed up the evacuation. It is important to calm the mood of the people, just say that reinforcements have arrived, and there is no need to worry. β
"Whoa!"
He and Han De took the order and left.
A look of worry flashed in Gan Ning's eyes.
Yuan Jun has chased to Tacun, but he doesn't know what the situation is on Gongzi's side?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The Yuan army, which chased to Tacun, was a halberd warrior led by Zhang He, with 1,500 people.
Originally, after he successfully pursued Cao *** in Xiaotan, the army led by Yuan Shao arrived in a hurry. Zhang He also had no intention of competing in Xiaotan, and Yuan Shao's army of 30,000 was enough to swallow Cao's army. He knew that Cao *** had evacuated the city and had some manpower in Ta Village.
Yuan Shao ordered Zhang He to lead a battalion of halberds to attack Tacun.
According to Zhang He's original intention, he didn't want to attack Tacun. He also knew that Yuan Shao had issued an order to slaughter the city three days ago, saying that after breaking the sour dates, he would slaughter the city for three days without leaving a living mouth. Zhang He didn't want to go to the unarmed people, but since Yuan Shao gave the order, he had to carry it out. Taking advantage of the night, he led the halberd soldiers to Linta Village...... In the distance, I saw that Ta Village was quiet, as if it were dead.
Restraining the horse, Zhang He frowned.
There is a faint bad omen in my heart, but I can't tell what the reason is.
Vaguely, you can see the fire flashing at Quyuju Ferry, presumably those sour jujube people have not successfully evacuated......
To chase, or not to chase?
Zhang He hesitated.
"Yusheng, what should I do?"
He suddenly turned his head and asked the young man behind him.
This young man's surname is Tian, a native of Julu, Jizhou, with a single name. Speaking of this Tian Fang, we have to mention another person, that is, Tian Feng, a strategist under Yuan Shao. Tian Feng is Tian Fang's uncle. Now, Tian Feng is locked up in Yecheng Prison, while Tian Fang follows Zhang He and becomes the marching Sima by Zhang He's side. He said what he said, but Zhang He privately called him more by his nickname: Yusheng.
Tian Fang said softly: "If Zhonglang collects his troops, I'm afraid the lord will not agree." β
Last year, Zhang He was named the general of Ningguo Zhonglang for attacking Yijing and eliminating Gongsun Zhan.
He sighed, bitter and smiling.
That's right, if he doesn't follow the order, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will make trouble for him.
"Yusheng, you lead a part of the people, stay outside the village, and I will lead the people to attack. If there is an ambush in the village, you can attack later, and we can win a big victory by attacking inside and outside. β
"That's what I want."
Zhang He thought about it, urged his horse, and led the cavalry to rush to Tacun.
And Tian Fang's eyes flickered, looking at the back of Zhang He's department, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Junyi, don't blame me for being ruthless...... In fact, Yuan originally had a false name, and his subordinates were too much. This time, he will definitely be defeated...... I'm just worried about my people. β
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Pass the order to go down and retreat ten miles." β
"Tian Sima, why did you retreat?"
"A rabble will not be the opponent of Zhonglang. This place is a ferry, and if Cao Jun reacts and sends troops to rescue, Zhonglang will be in danger. β
Come to think of it, it seems to make sense.
The five hundred halberds did not object, and began to retreat with Tian Fang.
At the same time, Zhang He's department has rushed into Tacun!
As soon as he entered the village, Zhang He suddenly noticed that something was wrong...... It turned out that there was only one road in this village, which led directly to Quyuju Ferry. To get to the junction, you have to go through Tower Village. But on the only village path, there are piles of earth and rocks.
Zhang He had to slow down and try to cross the trail.
But as soon as the order was given, a war horse was heard. A war horse was on the march and suddenly fell into a small pit. Don't look at this pit is not deep, but it fatally injures the war horse. The tibia of his front leg was suddenly broken, and he fell to the ground screaming...... And the knight on the horse was even more dizzy.
Zhang He said: "Light the torch and see the road clearly." β
Euphorbia hurriedly lit torches one after another, illuminating the road transparently.
There were a lot of potholes in the ground, and there were some obstacles to bypass, and the cavalry could not speed up their march at all.
Zhang He frowned, looked at the path in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just as he was about to remind the soldiers to be more careful, he suddenly heard a rapid bang. Bang Bang Bang ...... From the roofs of the houses on both sides, two or three hundred archers suddenly appeared.
Arrows rained down on the euphorbia on the trail.
Yuan Jun was holding torches in his hands, as if he was a target for activities.
In the blink of an eye, more than 100 halberds fell in a pool of blood.
"Take the dwellings."
Zhang He hurriedly shouted loudly, immediately separated hundreds of people from the team, and rushed towards the houses on both sides.
But before they could get close to the houses, the second wave of arrows had already arrived. Dozens of halberders fell to the ground with arrows, and the rest rushed up and kicked open the door of the house, followed by a series of screams. It turned out that ditches had been dug in the courtyard, and sharp wooden thorns were standing upside down on the faΓ§ade. The man fell into the pit and was immediately impaled by a stake. It's okay if you die on the spot, but those who don't die scream in the pit, which makes people shudder.
At the same time, a third wave of arrows arrived.
After these three rounds of arrows, Zhang He lost nearly one-third of his troops.
"Dismount and go around the wall."
Zhang He knew that if he wanted to go to Quyuju, he would have to go through this village path. But now it seems that Cao Jun has been prepared. The obstacles in the village have wiped out the speed advantage of the cavalry and turned them into deadly threats. If these Cao troops in the village are not eliminated, or these Cao troops are defeated, it will inevitably bring heavy casualties to the Euphorbia. In fact, the casualties were already heavy, and he had to make a change. However, it doesn't matter if you can't fight on horseback, because the Euphorbia has always been a sharp soldier in the army who can ride and fight on horseback. As long as they can bypass those traps, it will be difficult for these archers of Cao Jun to be effective.
Hundreds of halberders dismounted and pounced on both sides of the trail.
Seeing that they were about to bypass the courtyard wall, they suddenly heard a bang, and a group of Cao soldiers rushed out from behind the courtyard wall.
The first is a big man in the shape of a man, holding a disc and a big axe, rushing out like a god. I saw him rush into the crowd, and the big axe wheel opened, whirring. Although the halberd warriors were brave, they were no match for the big man, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight halberders were slashed to the ground by him.
"Han De again, Yuan Thief is not yet dead."
The big man's voice was like a huge thunder, and he rampaged through the crowd.
Seeing this, Zhang He couldn't help but be furious, dismounted, and stepped forward with a gun.
When Han De saw Zhang He coming up, he didn't have the slightest fear. The big axe flew over, and he just fought his way out, and seeing that he was still seven or eight steps away from Zhang He, he roared and rose up. The disc axe was held high above his head, and a pair of ringed eyes widened, "Yuan thief, don't die yet!" β
The big axe split Huashan with force, and the breath fell.
Zhang He hurriedly raised his gun to meet him, and with a loud bang, the force from the disc axe shook Zhang He's arms numb......
This guy is so strong!
However, Zhang He was not afraid of Han De.
From the confrontation just now, he had already sensed that although Han De had great strength, he was not afraid.
took three steps back, Zhang He's big gun was in his hand, and with a fluttering move, the strange python came out of the hole and stabbed towards Han De. Han De raised a big axe to greet him, but before the gun arrived, Zhang He suddenly changed his moves, and the big gun rose obliquely, stabbing at Han De's face......
What a fast gun!
Han De was also startled, and hurriedly dodged away.
The two of them fought together like this, and after only three or five together, Han De was a little unable to resist.
Zhang He saw that he had the upper hand, and he was even more unforgiving, he danced with a big gun, conjured up a spear flower, pierced the circle, took the pounce, the silver light flashed, and Han De was forced to retreat again and again.
"Kill the thieves with me!"
Zhang He shouted loudly in his mouth, and when the halberd warrior saw that Zhang He had the upper hand, his morale was immediately boosted, and he fought with Cao Bing.
Bang Bang Bang!
The gong sounded suddenly!
The sound of the gong is particularly abrupt, and it can be heard more clearly in the night.
Zhang He thought it was a signal for Cao Bing to retreat at first, but who knew that as soon as the gong stopped, there was a rumbling sound of iron hooves outside the village.
A cavalry army, about 300 people, under the leadership of a general, entered the cavalry formation of Yuan's army.
At this time, there were about four or five hundred euphorbia warriors who stayed outside the village. After this Cao army cavalry rushed over, the halberd soldiers hurriedly responded to the battle.
It's just that they have to get on the horse first.
Just now, Zhang He ordered the whole army to dismount, and many people braved the rain of arrows to clean up the paths in the village.
Who knows, this Cao army still has ambush soldiers, and they hurriedly got on their horses to meet the enemy, but before they picked up their weapons, Cao Jun had already arrived.
"Gan Ning is here, Hou Er has been waiting for a long time!"
The leader of the general danced with two knives, slashing left and right.
The halberders couldn't stop him at all, and he was killed by a small charge by this general.
In an instant, Yuan's army was in chaos......
"Hugh should panic and stop them!"
Zhang He was shocked, hurriedly shouted loudly, and turned around to evacuate. But how could Han De let him get his wish? After being suppressed by Zhang He for a long time, Han De finally found an opportunity to fight back. With a loud cry in his mouth, the wheel axe rushed forward and entangled Zhang He's footsteps.
Zhang He wanted to take Han De's life, and it was not something that could be achieved overnight.
In addition, Han De desperately blocked it, and he couldn't get rid of Zhang He. Gan Ning took this opportunity to lead the cavalry to a fierce pursuit and kill, killing Yuan Jun everywhere. While confronting Han De, Zhang He felt strange in his heart: Why didn't Yusheng appear until now?
The bad omen in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Zhang He knew that he might lose this time......
The big gun flew over, and after three shots in a row forced Han De back, he walked like a fly, rushed to a war horse, turned over and stepped forward.
As soon as he sat down on the horse, Gan Ning urged the horse to come to him.
A pair of knives drew a strange arc of light, and the brush slashed over.
Zhang He hurriedly raised his gun to meet him, and exchanged swords and guns, only to feel a surging force, like the water of the Yangtze River coming endlessly.
I couldn't help screaming in my mouth, and my body fell off the horse with a sigh.
This time, it was not light. That huge force penetrated through his body, shaking Zhang He's bones as if they were crispy.
After landing, Zhang He was dizzy. Instinctively, though, he rolled over and stood up. As soon as he stood firmly, the black horse dragged Gan Ning and rushed over, and with a bang, Zhang He was knocked out of the air. Han De walked like flying, took three steps and made two steps to Zhang He, raised his foot and kicked Zhang He's chest, turning Zhang He's viscera over the river and the sea as uncomfortable, he took a few steps back and sat on the ground.
"Believe it, save him a dog's life!"
Gan Ning shouted, and Han De's big axe almost brushed against Zhang He's scalp.
Four big men stepped forward and pressed Zhang He to the ground, and tied him with ropes......
"Faith, end the fight!"
While Gan Ning was talking, the urging horse had already arrived in front of Zhang He.
"Man, you have good skills, but why do you become a thief?"
"Phew...... My lord is the third prince of the fourth world, and his virtue is profound, how can he be a thief? β
"Ha, regardless of his original shit background, now you have become a prisoner of my ranks...... I ask you, why are you the only one coming? β
Zhang He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, "My lord has led a large army to arrive, and the Cao thief will not be able to form an army, and sooner or later he will be killed." β
Gan Ning was stunned, "Sikong soldiers and horses have been defeated?" β
"Hehe, at this moment, my lord is a soldier and a horse, and I am afraid that he has arrived at the Mansion."
Gan Ning's face suddenly changed greatly.
Yuan Jun has arrived at the Mansion?
Doesn't that mean that Childe is dangerous!
He ignored Zhang He, turned his horse's head, and shouted: "Feixi, follow me to the Mansion." β
"Sima, what's going on?"
"Yuan Jun has arrived at the Mansion, I am afraid that Gongzi will be in trouble, and I must go to save him.
You stay and cover the evacuation of the people as soon as possible...... Give me a good look at this guy, if the son has three long and two short, I will be too late for him. β
Han De didn't say a word, and immediately agreed.
Gan Ning led three hundred cavalry troops, galloping, towards the Mansion.
Zhang He listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but feel strange in his heart: This guy is so skilled, he is just a Sima? Who is the son in his mouth? It stands to reason that he should have said that he went to the Desert Pavilion to save Cao ***, why didn't he mention Cao ***, just talk about the 'son'?
At this time, the battle for Tacun was over.
The Cao army suffered more than 100 casualties, but the casualties of the Euphorbia were several times that of the Cao army.
After Zhang He was captured, the Euphorbia warriors were leaderless and fled in all directions. Han De's face was gloomy, and he strode up to Zhang He, and said in a cold tone: "Dog thief, you'd better pray that the captain is safe." Otherwise, Gan Sima will come back, and you will be worse off than dead! β
After speaking, he commanded Cao Bing to evacuate Tacun.
Zhang He finally couldn't help it and asked, "Man, what's your name?" β
"A certain family does not change its surname, and it does not change its name, Wuwei Hande."
"Who is Gan Ning?"
"Gan Ning is my captain's personal entourage, and he is the marching Sima."
Zhang He was a little dizzy...... Gan Ning's skills, he can see that he is definitely a super-first-class general, not inferior to Yan Liangwen and Chou. Such a powerful character, under Cao ***'s account, is actually just a marching Sima? It's so weird!
"Who is your school captain?"
When Han De heard this, he immediately showed a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "The captain of my family is the nephew of the Sikong clan, the famous Cao Babai, Cao Peng." β
When Zhang He heard this, he couldn't help but change color......
