Chapter 82: The Butcher of the Zhao Family
In the evening, after the scouts found out the news, Zhao Yun decided to wait until it was dark and prepare to attack the Lejin camp. Now Lejin is just attacking the north gate with soldiers and horses in foreign clothes, so that the people and horses of Tan County mistakenly think that he is Cao Ren.
The night fell little by little, after the last glimmer of light disappeared in the world, standing on a hill, looking from afar, several large camps outside the north gate of Tanxian County were lit with torches, and the torches illuminated the entire camp into a sea of fire. Looking at the enemy camp, the enemy camp gives people the illusion that there are thousands of troops and horses.
Zhao Yun has been waiting patiently, Cao Cao's strategy, he had seen it in February. At that time, it was Cao Cao who escaped with this suspicious strategy, and at this moment it was Cao Ren, and they were both very tricky opponents in the world.
As soon as the third watch arrived, the lights were also lit up outside the dilapidated north gate of Tan County, and after a day of fighting, both sides had no strength to fight again, and the soldiers fell asleep tired this night.
Zhao Yun asked the soldiers to extinguish the torches, and then wrapped the horse's hooves with straw and approached the Cao camp a little bit, not far from the Lejin camp, the torches on the Lejin camp had already illuminated the white horse opposite, but the soldiers in charge of patrolling fell asleep leaning on the stakes, and everyone seemed to think that Liu Bei could not come out to attack the camp.
A sharp arrow sounded, and suddenly hundreds of rockets appeared in the dark night, and the galloping war horses rushed all the way to the Lejin camp with the Xiapi cavalry, and the rockets went towards the camp **, and soon the tents in the camp began to be ignited by the fire, and the wooden Lejin camp soon fell into a sea of fire.
The soldiers hurriedly put out the fire everywhere, Zhao Yun gave an order, nearly a thousand cavalry went straight to the Cao camp, and when they approached the Cao camp, countless bows and arrows went towards the village, and several rounds of arrows were shot in a row, and the soldiers who fought the fire in the camp were shot to death, and a corpse fell into the fire, which further fueled the fire.
Zhao Yun took the lead in crossing the antlers and killing until the camp, a spear ruthlessly harvested the fleeing Cao soldiers, and then Tao Ying went to the big tent of Lejin to kill, but because the fire was too big, Zhao Yun could not rush in, so he could only lead the troops around to intercept and kill other fleeing Cao soldiers.
Le Jin gathered nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, and the battle lasted until dawn, when the first rays of sunlight illuminated the land of Tan County, Zhao Yun had already led the troops to chase him to a place nearly thirty miles away from Tan County.
Le Jin rode a horse under the escort of nearly 100 cavalry and ran to the tiger, seeing a general chasing behind, seeing that the general was young, Le Jin, who had been angry, suddenly came back and wanted to kill him, and it was easy to explain when he went back!
But he didn't want Le Jin to turn around and kill Zhao Yun together, the two had just fought for more than ten rounds, Zhao Yun stabbed Le Jin in the shoulder with a shot, Le Jin waved his knife away from Zhao Yun and left, Zhao Yun wanted to chase, and Le Jin's own soldiers surrounded him.
Nearly 100 cavalry surrounded Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun blocked a spear that stabbed in, turned around and stabbed back with a shot, and soon stabbed five or six soldiers to death.
When Zhao Yun saw that Lejin had left, he was furious in his heart, and chased and killed the soldiers all the way. In this battle, Zhao Yun ordered not to leave a single living mouth, all of them were killed, and nearly 5,000 Cao soldiers died tragically under Zhao Yun's iron cavalry.
After dawn, Liu Bei, who had been looking at it and didn't dare to leave the city, looked at the ashes outside the city that had been burned by the fire, and there was still smoke on the ashes, so Liu Bei led his troops out of the city.
All the way to the Lejin camp, nearly a thousand tents in the Lejin camp were burned by the fire, and the camps were lying with burned black corpses, the corpses were very hideous, obviously too uncomfortable when they died.
Liu Bei asked people to clean up the battlefield, and there were no less than a thousand charred corpses sorted out from the camp alone. Further west, there were lying corpses all the way, all of which belonged to Cao soldiers, some of whom weighed several arrows, some of whom had their legs cut off by cavalry, and some of whom had their heads cut off.
There are many who were trampled to death by war horses, and there were also some ownerless war horses on the side of the road, which were Zhao Yun cavalry killed by Lejin soldiers and horses in the dark, and Zhao Yun cavalry was also very badly injured in this battle, at least nearly half of the military horses were broken.
Liu Bei led the soldiers and horses along the road of the dead corpses to the territory of Huben County, Zhao Yun parked the soldiers and horses on a small hill, Le Jin didn't know where to run, and Cao Bing also hid without a trace.
Liu Bei came looking for the body, and when he saw Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, who was in his twenties, had several broken guns. Seeing a large group of military horses coming from behind, a scout hurriedly came to tell Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun hurriedly led his troops in the direction of Wuyuan, because Xu Sheng's army was coming from there.
I met Liu Bei halfway, and saw that the general not far away was very familiar, riding a white horse, and the silver armor on his body had turned red, which made Liu Bei so familiar.
"That will be Chang Shanzi Longhu in front?"
Liu Bei shouted at the cavalry not far away, and when he saw someone shouting his name, Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped his horse, and took a closer look, it seemed that the opposite side was the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, and Zhao Yun led the troops to meet him.
When he came to the team of military horses, he found that it was Liu Bei who brought him to Xuzhou, Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to say hello or not.
Seeing that it was indeed Changshan Zhao Zilong, Liu Bei was a little excited to go up and take his hand, but Zhao Yun avoided it. Liu Bei was a little stunned and asked, "Zilong hasn't seen him for a few months, why is he estranged from me?" I look forward to seeing Zilong day and night, and now I can see Zilong, it's really ......"
Zhao Yun immediately said: "General Liu, don't mention the past, I am now serving under the account of the second son!" After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Zhang Fei next to him said with a dark face: "Big brother, what I said is right, he has long hooked up with the second son, you see how angry he is now!" ”
"Zilong!"
Liu Bei wanted to say something, Guan Yu looked at Zhao Yun from the side, looked at the official robe on his body and said with a smile: "Big brother, he is no longer yesterday's Zilong, look at him, he is the same as the eldest brother!" ”
"Zilong is not a person who covets wealth and ......"
Liu Bei still wanted to defend Zhao Yun, but he didn't want to be next to Zhao Yun, but Erniu, the leader of the pro-soldiers, shouted: "Who are you?" How dare you talk about our generals? But you know that our general is the righteous brother of our second son, and if you dare to offend our general, you will offend your second son, how can you bear the crime? ”
After Erniu finished speaking, Zhang Fei scolded angrily: "Hmph, you little white face, I knew that you were not a good thing, don't think that I won't dare to kill you if I take refuge in the second son!" ”
After saying that, Zhang Fei was about to stab Zhao Yun with a spear, Liu Bei hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Third brother, it's all because you were reckless that time, otherwise Zilong wouldn't have run away, let alone taken refuge in the second son!" ”
"Big brother, why do you always speak for others!"
Guan Yu also sighed beside him, Zhao Yun didn't want to argue with them, so he said: "Now my eldest brother is as kind to me as a mountain, and he recommended me to sit on the Wuxian county order, although I respect General Liu, but the two brothers of the general can't tolerate people, I can only not vote for him, if the general is fine, I will lead the troops to meet my eldest brother!" ”
