Chapter 81: Regrouping
The corpses piled up on the city, and the blood flowed like rivers. Xiahou Yuan personally went into battle, and Zhang Fei met Xiahou Yuan over there, and the two of them fought without a win. The soldiers here stormed the narrow north gate, Guan Yulun made a big knife, and three or four soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and the other soldiers were frightened and did not dare to move forward.
Tan County was already in danger under the attack of Cao Ren's army, and Yu Ban led his troops to rush outside the city, but he did not move. Yu Ban was severely injured by Zhang Fei and others, where is he willing to help Tan County? After looking outside the battlefield for a long time and not seeing Tao Ying's trace, Yu Ban led the troops to go down to Pi, and asked many wounded soldiers along the way, only to know that Tao Ying really went down.
Hearing that Tao Ying was not dead, Yu Ban was relieved. Yu Ban led the troops until the border of Xiapi before encountering a team of forwards, the leader was the third brother of Tao Ying who led the cavalry, Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun led a thousand cavalry towards Tan County, more than a thousand cavalry, the scene was very spectacular, the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, and the ground seemed to be like an earthquake!
Seeing that thousands of troops suddenly came in front, Zhao Yun hurriedly asked the soldiers and horses to stop. The two armies drew closer, and gusts of wind and sand rose on the road behind the army, and the dry earth made everyone cough.
The dust cleared, and Yu Ban had already appeared beside Zhao Yun. Seeing that everyone was wearing Xuzhou's armor, they knew that they were meeting their own people. But the person in front of him, Zhao Yun, had never seen it before, so Zhao Yun could only ask: "General ahead, where are you soldiers and horses?" ”
Yu Ban looked at Zhao Zilong, Zhao Zilong was dressed in silver armor, sat on a white horse, a spear in his hand, burly and beautiful, and was amazed in his heart.
"Yu Ban Yu Wen Ze, dare to ask the general?"
"Changshan Zhao Zilong! The general is marshal Yu? ”
When it came to Zhao Zilong, Yu Ban was the first to be the head. When he was in prison, he heard from the people around him that Tao Ying Wuyuan and Xu Sheng and Zhao Yun became brothers of the opposite sex. And Zhao Yun is the word Zilong, and often calls himself Changshan Zhao Zilong!
Seeing that there was no Tao Ying by Zhao Yun's side, Yu Ban hurriedly asked, "Has General Zhao ever seen the lord?" ”
Zhao Yun hurriedly dismounted and nodded, "Marshal, my eldest brother has returned to Xiapi safely." Now that he has supervised the Chinese army to Tanxian, my eldest brother asked me to lead the vanguard to rescue the marshal! ”
"It's so good, the lord is fine, I'm relieved!"
Yu Ban hurriedly dismounted and helped Zhao Yun up, these young people did not have much combat experience, Yu Ban looked at Zhao Yun, he felt a little difficult in his heart, he didn't know whether he should continue to return to Tan County.
After two days of stationing at the border, Tao Ying and Li Dian led the troops to Donghai County. Tao Ying saw Yu Ban, and when he saw that Yu Ban was not seriously injured, he was so happy in his heart, this time it was really thrilling!
It was just noon, and the mid-July day was very scorching, but this day was a little gloomy, and the cool breeze blew, which made people feel unpleasant.
Tao Ying held Yu Ban's hand in a freshly harvested wheat field and said with a look of surprise: "Wen Ze is fine, I am very at ease!" ”
Yu Ban suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "The lord is very gracious, although the last general will die, it will be difficult to repay him!" ”
Will be forbidden to help up, Tao Ying did not punish him, but continued to use him as a handsome. This time, he handed over the command of 50,000 soldiers and horses to him. If the ancients lost the battle and affected their morale, they would have to be pushed out and beheaded, and Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran simply surrendered to Cao Cao because they were afraid of Yuan Shao's punishment because they lost the battle.
But Tao Ying felt that defeating the battle was defeating the battle, he just wanted to be the Xiaoqiang who never gave up, and like Li Hongzhang, he was defeated again and again!
Hearing that Tao Ying had appointed himself as the marshal again, Yu Ban hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Lord, the last general has no virtue and no talent, and he was defeated in Tan County, I ...... it."
"I don't blame you for the defeat last time, we have few generals in our army, and there are few available soldiers and horses, so we were defeated. The general killed again in the tens of thousands of troops, this is exactly what the general can do! ”
Tao Yingjiang helped him up, handed him the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies, took the Tiger Talisman, Yu Ban knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and swore: "Yu Ban will not humiliate the mission of the Lord this time!" ”
Tao Ying helped him up and said: "Marshal Yu, there are not many generals in our army, but there are many generals, my third brother should be used more, although he is young, but he has the courage of ten thousand people!" My second brother, martial arts are not as good as my third brother, but my second brother is a little resourceful, and he can block one side in the future! There is also Li Dian, although he is only twenty years old, he doesn't like to compete for merit, and he can gather soldiers to serve him, so the marshal should make good use of the three of them! ”
Yu Ban nodded, in terms of commanding a war, it seems that his existence is completely a burden! First in the battle of Pengcheng, he almost died tragically in the hands of the ban, and then he sat in the command of the Chinese army against Cao Ren, and as a result, Yu Ban played the forward, and the people were fighting with Xiahou Yuan, and the two armies on his left and right were defeated by Cao Ren and Le Jin.
What's even more shameful is that at such a critical time, Tao Ying actually escaped...... Tao Ying's run directly caused the striker to fall into the encirclement on three sides, fortunately, Yu Ban Yongmeng, this was killed, otherwise Tao Ying would really feel guilty!
Yu Ban retook the handsome seal, and then began to reschedule. When passing through Tanxian County, Yu Ban found that Cao Ren had already attacked the north gate in ruins, presumably in the past few days, Tancheng may have been breached, and the most important thing now is to quickly wave the army north to rescue Lord Shi, and then block Cao Bing on the way south.
When Yu Ban was thinking about how to fight, Tao Ying offered a plan on the side: "Marshal Yu, I watched the sky last night, the stars above Yanzhou were blurry, and the star in the west was surprisingly bright, presumably Yanzhou already has a new master, and Cao Cao will withdraw his troops if it won't last long!" ”
Tao Ying has always been very accurate in his calculations, and Yu Ban thought for a while and asked, "Can the lord calculate when he will retreat?" ”
Tao Ying thought about it, it seems that Cao Cao is going to fight with Lu Bu in Puyang in August, and now it is the second half of July, he must withdraw from the army!
"I carefully calculated a hexagram last night, and the hexagram shows that Cao Cao is already withdrawing his troops!"
Yu Ban thought for a while and said: "In this case, we can not go to Tan County, and concentrate all the soldiers and horses to attack Hu Ben, this killing two birds with one stone can not only encircle Wei to save Zhao, but also cut off Cao Cao's retreat!" ”
Tao Ying nodded and said, "You are a marshal, you are free to decide!" ”
It was cloudy for a few days, and Zhao Yun was recommended by Tao Ying to be a pioneer. For this relative, Yu Ban didn't want to use it, but there was no pioneer, so he could only let him lead a thousand to protect the old and young who had withdrawn from Tan County. Then he ordered Xu Sheng to lead more than 20,000 troops to the north to attack Lanling in the north of Huben.
Yu Ban personally led his troops to attack Huben, and tens of thousands of troops headed north in the season when the rainy season was coming. When Zhao Yun led more than 1,000 cavalry to Tanxian, Tanxian was not breached, but the north gate had been breached, and Liu Bei was still resisting in the city.
But these days, Liu Bei felt that Cao Ren's attack was getting weaker and weaker, and even Xiahou Yuan withdrew from the north gate. Zhao Yun went around the north gate again, and there were Lejin's soldiers and horses stationed outside the north gate, and Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan had already withdrawn their troops and didn't know where to run.
And Le Jin stayed just some old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, which made Zhao Yun wonder in his heart!
