Yuan Shao's 20,000 cavalry was led by Zhang He and Ji Ling

Zhang He knew that Yuan Shao sent them to pursue Zhao Yun, not really hoping that he could defeat Zhao Yun's thousands of military horses, this was just to make a situation for the princes of the world to see that they had the strength to defeat Liu Yi, so that from the princes, their soldiers could also chase and kill Liu Yi's soldiers, so as to increase the confidence of the princes, and also lead the army to Luoyang, so that the princes of the world have no time to hesitate, no time to consider whether to be the enemy of Liu Yi.

In this way, Zhang He led 20,000 cavalry, but he only chased and stopped, but whenever he encountered mountains and forests, he would first send scouts to reconnoiter before leading the army forward. Zhang He can be regarded as calm, Ren Zhaoyun has led the army back many times to provoke, but he still pursues unhurriedly. It wasn't until Yuan Shao saw that it was getting dark and led his army to camp that he ordered Zhao He to drive Zhao Yun's cavalry out of their camp dozens of miles away, so that they would not attack the camp at night.

It also happens that the area around Pingshapo is a wilderness that can be seen at a glance, and the woods are also sparse and sparse, so there is no need to worry about ambushes, even if there are ambushes, Zhang He also believes that with his 20,000 cavalry in the wilderness, he can rush out of the encirclement.

In this way, confused by the type of land, Zhang He will carelessly lead the troops to chase.

In fact, Zhang He's mind also has the impression of the strange terrain of Pingshapo, usually going to and from Luoyang, often passing there, but the Pingshapo is only a flat sand valley that has fallen for three or four miles. Zhang He never thought of it. It's just a little bit of weird terrain. Lewi will use it to set up an ambush for him.

When he led the army to chase into the Pingshapo Valley, he also thought in his heart that even if Liu Yi set up an ambush, his cavalry could scatter and break through at any time there, and the surroundings in the Pingshapo Valley were not in vain, and they should ride their horses on the horse, without worrying about being ambushed.

Hehe, this is to blame Zhang He for not deliberately inspecting the slope in the Pingshapo Valley when he usually passed by this Pingsha Slope. So that under his careless circumstances, he led the army to rush Zhao Yun and led the army to crash into Pingshapo

In the Pingshapo Valley, Xu Zhu led more than 10,000 soldiers. All of them lurked at one end of the valley of Pingshapo, and some people even buried their bodies under the sand and entered from the other end of the valley mouth, and they could not see anyone lurking in those places until they approached.

When Zhao Yun led the army to the valley mouth, he did not pass through the valley, but when he arrived at the valley where Xu Zhu and other soldiers were hidden, he immediately reined in his horse and turned around, blocked the way of Zhang He's cavalry, and made a posture of wanting to fight a decisive battle with Zhang He's cavalry here. In this way, it also bought a little time for Xu Zhu's army to come out and block the road to Pingshapo Valley.

In addition, at this time, the sky was already a little dark, and the valley was kicked up by war horses, and Zhang Yiyi, who was chasing Zhao Yun's thousands of cavalry into it, didn't know that he had been ambushed. When they saw Zhao Yun reining in his horse and turning back, they didn't have time to think about it at that time, so they led their army to rush up and prepare to fight to the death with Zhao Yun's thousands of cavalry in the valley.

But what made them feel like they were in hell was that Zhao Yun's cavalry retreated. A wall of shields appeared, and a dense array of spears, as well as countless archers behind it.

When Zhang He realized that the situation was not right, his sergeant had already entered the range of the archers. At this time, it was too late to order the sergeant to stop the attack.

He yelled badly. I saw a rain of arrows whistling in the sky, and the cavalry during the charge didn't have time to be on guard, so they were shot down by the rain of arrows. The cavalry who screamed and desolate, and barely rushed to the front of the formation, also crashed into the dense array of spears, and was stabbed into a hedgehog by countless spears.

The way ahead was completely blocked, and Zhang He was frightened and hurriedly led the army to withdraw, but Dian Wei came out from behind, blocking their retreat. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yun's cavalry also turned back, and under Zhao Yun's charge, Zhang He's cavalry was defeated and fled in panic.

And what made Zhang He's real heart like death was that when he wanted to lead the army to rush out of the Pingsha slope from the valley slopes on both sides, and thought that if he went to the wilderness outside, whether he wanted to fight again with the whole army or lead the army to withdraw, he could do whatever he wanted. However, when their cavalry rushed up the slope, they found that the slope was full of sand and stones, and as soon as the men and horses stepped on it, they fell down, and they could not rush up for a while

It seemed a little strange, but it didn't seem to be a narrow sand slope in a dangerous place, it turned out to be a Jedi, and Zhang He suddenly felt cold all over.

In the valley, Zhao Yun led the cavalry back and forth to kill, while the pikemen at both ends of the valley poured pressure into the valley, compressing his sergeants in the valley, and there was less and less room for maneuver. At this time, Zhang He really even wanted to die, so dignified, he would be ambushed by Liu Yi here, 20,000 cavalry, could it be that Liu Yi wanted to annihilate his army in one battle?

However, think about it, it's really possible, when did Liu Yi fight a battle that he was not sure of? Every time he fights against Liu Yi, Zhang He will have a feeling of fright, every time, he obviously looks at it, he has a great advantage on the bright side, but in the end he is all defeated by Liu Yi, attacking counter-attacks, setting up ambushes and hiding, and the army is fighting head-on, etc., it seems that Liu Yi uses it like an arm, how to fight, and every battle under the absolute disadvantage, can also come back to life, and fight with such a person, Zhang He thinks about it a little chill.

Now, if he wanted to return to the army to attack, it was no longer possible, the defeat was assured, countless pikemen advanced, and the archers behind reaped the lives of his sergeants with volleys. After the ambush, his sergeant had no intention of fighting again, but only wanted to flee for his life, but where could he escape? This is a massacre, Zhang He was cold, because, in his impression, Liu Yi was really ruthless when he killed people.

Not to mention the ordinary sergeant, if even he could not rush into the valley, I am afraid, he will also lose his life on this flat sand slope.

Fortunately, just when Zhang He thought he was going to die, Ji Ling carried his three-pointed knife on his back, used his hands and feet together, climbed up the slope, and shouted while climbing: "Don't panic, everyone, abandon the horse and go uphill, the horse can't go up, people can go up!" ”

This Ji Ling, when his war horse rushed up the slope, slipped down and fell, and then the war horse sprained his foot and couldn't stand up again, he was in a hurry, so he climbed up the sand slope with his hands and feet, and actually let him find that he could go uphill.

Suddenly, Zhang He also abandoned his beloved war horse and climbed the sand slope as fast as a dog with a group of sergeants.

Fortunately, although Xi Zhicai also ordered the sergeants to set up an ambush around Pingshapo, the defense line around him was too long, the troops were weak, and it happened that the side of Shapo where Zhang He fled was not guarded by generals such as Dian Wei and Xu Zhu, and Wen Chou was on the other side, which gave Zhang He a chance to escape. If Xi Zhicai didn't think that he didn't want Liu Yi to take risks, and Liu Yi guarded the other side of the sand slope, Zhang He and Ji Ling would really be in trouble.

When Liu Yi, Yuan Qing, Huang Wudie, and Yin Xiao led thousands of soldiers and horses to the battle, the battle had already come to an end. Most of the Zhang He cavalry, who did not have time to escape, were either killed or taken prisoner.

Liu Yi's thousands of people have really become logistics soldiers who clean up the battlefield, in addition to cleaning the battlefield, they are also responsible for guarding prisoners.

When Xi Zhicai saw that the battle of Pingshapo was over, he did not let the sergeants rest, but only let Zhao Yun, who had led the army to fight for most of the day, rest on the spot, drink water and eat, and wait for a break for half an hour. He immediately marched again and attacked Yuan Shao's camp.

And he urgently gathered the army of Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, and Wen Chou, and immediately marched to Yuan Shao's camp, to attack Yuan Shao's camp before the deserters returned to Yuan Shao's camp.

In the battle of Pingshapo, about 4,000 cavalry led by Zhang He were killed, tens of thousands of people were captured, and only 4,500 men and horses escaped.

After Liu Yi finished cleaning the battlefield, it was already dark, piles of fires were burning in the valley, and Sergeant Yuan Shao, who had been confiscated from his weapons, all squatted on the ground with his face like ashes, frightened.

These were all cavalrymen, and Liu Yi's heart naturally wanted to fight their ideas.

Liu Yi asked the sergeant to drive them all to the middle of the Pingshapo Valley, and then walked into the middle of them, pulled up a sergeant with a wounded hand, and then asked Yuan Qing to bring gauze and bandage him with his own hands.

The sergeant was flattered and trembling and speechless.

Liu Yi smiled at him and said, "This brother, don't be urgent. ”

Liu Yi'an said to him, looked around and said loudly: "Come on, bandage the injured brother." ”

After ordering someone to bandage the wounds of those captives, Liu Yi walked on a raised stone and said to the captives around him: "Brothers, please don't blame me Liu Yi for swords and guns against you. Of course, I, Liu Yi, will not blame you, after all, you are also your own masters, obeying orders, and no one can blame anyone. However, regardless of the fight between us, in fact, we are brothers, you know? Because, the original intention of you coming here is not to be an enemy of me Liu Yi, but to denounce Dong thief, to kill thieves, and to come here for the sake of Dahan Sheji, in fact, all of you are righteous people! They're all heroes! Now, although you have been captured by my Liu Yi, but I, Liu Yi, will definitely not embarrass you, if you are injured, I will treat you, and after the battle with Yuan Shao is decided, I will release you and let you each leave. ”

"What? Are you really going to let us go? ”

When the sergeant with Yuan Shao heard that Liu Yi said that he would let them go, he immediately asked in surprise.

"Of course, have any of you ever heard of me that Liu Yi doesn't count? I, Liu Yijing, you are all righteous men and heroes, how can you have the psychology of harming you? Lewy affirmed,

But then he said: "Well, also, you should know that I, Liu Yi, am dedicated to working hard to revitalize the Han Dynasty, you are all righteous soldiers, you should be able to distinguish between black and white, if you are really willing to serve the Han Dynasty, I Liu Yi welcome you to join our army, in the future, we will be brothers fighting on the same battlefield, life and death depend on each other, I Liu Yi will definitely treat you as my current sergeant." ”

These soldiers, no matter what their masters were, but they were willing to come to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and they were indeed righteous soldiers, so Liu Yi naturally couldn't treat them like ordinary prisoners. It would be best if you could recruit some of them to replenish your cavalry ranks.

Liu Yi's recruitment suddenly made some Yuan Shao soldiers feel a little tempted.
