(20) Zhao Yun was in charge of the state army and was trapped against the enemy's iron chariot soldiers
"Medic, Medic!" Zhao Yun ran into the Wuwei Medical Hall with Lu Bu on his back and anxiously on his back, followed closely by Ma Teng, Huangfu Song, Sun Jian and others, not daring to slack off. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing the situation in front of him, the elderly military doctor naturally didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly put Lu Bu on the bed to check his pulse. Not long after, Chen Gong, Pang De, Fang Yue and others rushed over after dealing with the wounded, and looked anxiously at the military doctor around the bed. Zhao Yun, who has always been calm and calm, is also like an ant on a hot pot now, constantly wandering in place.
"Generals, don't worry, General Fenwei is just too tired from physical exhaustion, and he will be fine after a short rest." Because he was too nervous, the elderly military doctor thought for a long time before speaking to everyone. Hearing that Lu Bu's body was fine, everyone's hanging hearts were relaxed, except for Ma Teng, who left his eldest son Ma Chao and returned home to deal with Ma Tie's funeral, everyone gathered at the camp of the coalition army in the west of the city to discuss the next battle plan.
"Generals, at present, General Fenwei has not yet woken up, and the Bingzhou Army is a sharp blade of the coalition army, and it cannot be a group of dragons without a leader, according to the old man's view, it is better to select a person from among the generals of the Bingzhou Army to temporarily replace General Fenwei to take charge of the Bingzhou Army." The commander of the coalition army, Huang Fu Song, said to everyone: "What do you think? Huangfu Song was reasonable, and everyone had no objections, but when it came to who should be temporarily in charge of the state army, the generals of the state were embarrassed to open their mouths, and it was even more difficult for the other generals of the coalition army to intervene as outsiders. Thinking of this, everyone focused on Chen Gong, although Chen Gong had not been in Bingzhou for a long time, but as early as Luoyang, he cooperated with Lu Bu to use a counter-plot to make the two Chahantai brothers die in civil strife, which led to a bloody battle among the various departments of the grassland, which was admirable. Now it is a clever plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao to solve the siege of Chang'an, retreat from the enemy of Wuwei, his extraordinary talent is self-evident, if recommended by him, presumably the soldiers of the state army have no two words.
Seeing that everyone was pinning their hopes on themselves, Chen Gong knew that at the moment, Lu Bu was unconscious, and the situation was critical, and the enemy was very likely to attack Wuwei. Therefore, it is necessary to elect a martial artist to replace Lu Bu as soon as possible. So he stood up and hugged his fists at everyone and said: "The public platform recommends General Zilong to temporarily lead and force the state army horses, firstly, General Zilong is the general's sworn brother, and secondly, Zilong is no less brave than General Fenwei, both public and private, what do you think?" As soon as Chen Gong's words fell, he had already caught a glimpse of Zhao Yun's refusal, and hurriedly continued: "General Zilong, don't refuse, now the enemy must have known about General Fenwei's coma, in order to prevent the enemy from storming and seizing the city, we must find a brave general as soon as possible to replace General Fenwei, Zilong, this matter must be yours!" ”
"In this way, Zilong will be disrespectful!" Zhao Yun, who knew that the situation was dangerous, no longer shirked, and after Chen Gong finished speaking, he stood up and hugged his fists to everyone.
"Report! Report to the general. "The scout outside the door walked in again and knelt in front of everyone" A military horse appeared outside the city, waving the banner of the state and the state. General Pang, who was guarding the city, was worried that there was fraud in it, so he asked the last general to come and report it. "Oh, isn't it General Gao Shun's trapping camp? Hahaha! When Chen Gong heard this, he looked up to the sky and smiled, "Generals, the iron chariot soldiers can be broken!" ”
In the camp of the Qiang army, Li Wenhou said excitedly to Han Sui, "Wenyue, I heard that the defeated army is coming, Lu Bu has passed out on the battlefield, and now is the right opportunity, why don't we do our best to attack and seize the city?" Han Sui sighed, put down the wine glass in his hand and persuaded: "Brother Wenhou, since the arrival of the imperial court reinforcements, our army has lost three battles in a row, and has successively folded Ye Yuanduo, Liang Yuanbi, and Yan Xing, three generals, and now the king of Qiang has left us with three thousand iron chariot soldiers, and tens of thousands of main forces have all retreated, and we have lost foreign aid!" Li Wenhou took a sip of the wine in the cup and said: "So what, I didn't plan to make any effort from King Qiang, but I just wanted to scare and scare that faint king in the name of Ganliang's 100,000 Qiang army." What's more, I have a general, Beigong Boyu, who has not yet played. As he spoke, a soldier in armor walked in outside the door, his face was full of arrogance, and he did not salute Han Sui, who was the deputy commander of the coalition army, but walked directly to Li Wenhou's side and whispered.
The more Han Sui looked at this soldier, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. When the soldier saw Han Sui staring at him, he actually let out a strange "Hmph!" with disdain. He walked away. Li Wenhou was afraid that Han Sui would see the flaws after a long time, so he hurriedly said: "Wenyue, if you don't go to attack the city, forget it, the Chengjiazhai that was destroyed by us a month ago in the sixty miles north of Wuwei is a grain and grass camp secretly placed by the imperial army, so you can lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to burn the grain and grass of the enemy army, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved." Without food and grass, no matter how powerful he Lu Bu is, he can't fight when he's hungry, right? ”
Although he was surprised in his heart, Han Sui, who had already boarded the thief ship and couldn't turn back, had to take the order to prepare, and saw Han Sui pick up his troops and horses and gallop north. Li Wenhou nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Beigong Boyu and said: "Now that Lu Bu is seriously injured and difficult to go out of battle, I will hand over three thousand iron chariot soldiers to you, you first kill a few generals of the enemy army to strengthen the prestige of our army, and then take Wuwei for me within an hour with one blow!" Beigong Boyu took the token of mobilizing the iron chariot soldiers and retreated confidently. Li Wenhou looked proudly in the direction of Wuwei, and secretly made up his mind in his heart: "Lu Bu, you will definitely die this time!" ”
"General Gao, don't come unharmed. The general was stationed in Xijing Chang'an on his own, which was really hard. At the head of Wuwei City, everyone and Gao Shun hugged their fists and greeted each other.
Gao Shun smiled slightly, and returned the salute to everyone with a humble face: "Where, where is it, the generals are fighting the front line. As he was talking, a woman's pleasant whisper suddenly came from in front of the city gate: "The general who is tired of guarding the city has reported that Yuan Ruonan, the daughter of Taifu Yuan Kui, asks to see Lord Huangfu Song." Listening to the voice, Chen Gong, who seemed to be familiar with Yuan Ruonan, and was impressed by her slapping Lu Bu in public, vaguely recognized that the shadow in front of the city gate seemed to be Yuan Ruonan, so he said to Zhao Yun Gaoshun: "Two generals, if you want to come here, there is no doubt that this woman must be a man and a girl, please open the door quickly." ”
Although neither of the two had ever seen Yuan Ruonan, Chen Gong had always been serious and serious, and he would not make this decision rashly, so he agreed with Chen Gong's words immediately, only to see Zhao Yunyi wave his hand and say to the guards beside him: "Open the city gate!" In a short time, the heavy city gate slowly opened to the shouts of more than a dozen soldiers.
"Look, General!" As soon as the city gate was closed, the guards at the city gate pointed to the distance and said to the three men, "The enemy is coming!" The three of them looked up, a large area of smoke and dust rose on the horizon in the distance, and bursts of white light were reflected from time to time in the haze that covered the sky, and Zhao Yun, who had excellent eyesight, saw from a distance three thousand iron chariot soldiers who formed a cone-shaped battle formation and were regarded by Li Wenhou as the main trump card. Different from the slightly flustered expressions of the soldiers in the city, the three of them glanced at each other, Chen Gong and Zhao Yun smiled at Gao Shun and said, "General, it's time for your trap camp to show its might!" ”
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Ruonan, who was covered with dust, didn't care about greeting the generals one by one, so he took out a piece of bloodstained sleeves from his bag and handed it to Huangfu Song with both hands.
"What, Zhang Rang colluded with Li Wenhou in a vain attempt to attack our army's grain and grass camp!" Listening to Huangfu Song's words, Sun Jian and Ma Chao couldn't help but take the case. Before Huangfu Song could answer, the junior colonel outside the door hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Report to the generals, Li Wenhou personally led the army to call for battle outside the city, the enemy general Beigong Boyu led 3,000 iron chariot soldiers to threaten to level Wuwei, and General Gao Shun has led the trapped camp out of the city to meet the enemy. General Zhao Yun will report at the end of his life, please don't worry, just sit quietly and wait for the good news. ”
"This ......" Everyone was a little suspicious, and the upright Sun Jian preemptively spoke, "Now that General Lu Bu has not yet woken up, and the enemy's main force of 70,000 is pressing the border, I really don't know if General Zhao can stop it!" Hearing that Lu Bu was unconscious, Yuan Ruonan's clear eyes faintly flashed a worried look, and just wanted to ask, he saw Sun Jian pick up the Gudian knife and stand up: "My lord, General Lu did not hesitate to save his allies, and he tried his best to pick up thousands of iron shield cars, and more than 800 guards and light horsemen under his command were all killed. Hearing this, Ma Chao also stood up and held up the Tilu Wangyue spear and said to Huangfu Song: "My lord, General Lu has the grace of reinvention to Meng Qi since he arrived in Ganliang, and he has the virtue of regeneration for the Ma family. ”
Seeing Ma Chao's words and deeds, Sun Jian couldn't help but nod and admire: "Meng Qi is so loyal and courageous, worthy of being a young hero, Wentai has a son like a horse, and he has no regrets in this life!" "Thank you to the generals in advance." Suddenly, Lu Bu's familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears. Yuan Ruonan couldn't help but turn around and run quickly in front of Lu Bu, seeing that his handsome cheeks were bloodless, obviously he was already staggering and almost unable to stand, and stubbornly refused to let the guards support him, trembling his arms and holding Fang Tian's halberd stubbornly, barely supporting himself from falling. Thinking of Lu Bu single-handedly overturning thousands of iron shield cars weighing hundreds of catties, Yuan Ruonan felt that his heart trembled violently as if he had been slashed by a sharp blade.
Seeing Ruonan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Lu Bu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to him softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine." I saw Yuan Ruonan lower his head and hesitate for a long time before he replied weakly: "Who is worried about you, scoundrel!" Without looking back, he bypassed Lu Bu and ran out of the house. Rao is Ruonan's voice was delicate, and the word scoundrel was keenly captured by everyone present, and they all turned their heads and ears for a while.
"Ahem!" Lu Bu stuck out his tongue helplessly, and when he saw the puzzled looks of everyone in the room, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Generals, trapping the camp is the essence of my state army, and it is not a problem to deal with the small iron chariot soldiers, and the top priority at the moment is to send troops to the grain and grass camp to quickly transfer the grain and grass." When everyone heard this, they all came back to their senses from the sudden incident just now. Huangfu Song stroked his beard, and then ordered: "General Meng Qi, you can go with General Wentai!" The two clasped their fists and said, "Obey!" Seeing that the two were about to step out of the house, Lu Bu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to the two: "Slow! Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, Lu Bu smiled slightly, walked to Sun Jian's ear and gently instructed a few words, Sun Jian's eyebrows tightened, and then a smug smile unfolded.
The position of the enemy in front of him made Beigong Boyu feel a little strange, his iron chariot soldiers were about to collide with the soldiers holding iron shields in the front row of the enemy army, and instead of firing arrows as usual, the enemy army opened the defensive formation in the front row, so that their own defense line leaked huge gaps.
Reality didn't give Beigong Boyu much time to think, only to see the soldiers holding iron shields in the front row of the enemy army quickly formed a group of six, and firmly protected their bodies with a specially built giant iron shield, turning into a huge iron ball and spinning towards the iron chariot soldiers. How could the fierce iron chariot soldiers retreat? In the face of the enemy's strange attack, they howled and pushed the iron cart forward, and the iron cart soldiers were confident that with this iron cart weighing hundreds of pounds, they would definitely be able to knock through these improvised iron balls.
At the moment when the iron shield car was about to hit the iron ball, these artificial iron balls suddenly spread out and wrapped the iron car in the middle, and the heavy iron shield car fell into it little by little as if it were hitting cotton. The Ironchariot didn't even have time to be surprised to see his body pierced by the enemy's spear. Almost instantly, dozens of iron shield cars and hundreds of iron chariot soldiers were swallowed up by this strange tactic in an instant.
Seeing this, Beigong Boyu in the distance immediately waved the order flag in his hand and ordered in the distance: "Change the formation." More than 100 flag-bearers behind him waved the flag with Beigong Boyu's gesture, and when the iron chariot soldiers saw this, they immediately transformed into a cross shape in a group of four, shouting slogans while constantly firing the hard crossbow on the iron shield car, using crossbow arrows to suppress the enemy's forward pace, and at the same time accelerating the iron shield car, in a vain attempt to maximize the impact force of the iron shield car by virtue of inertia.
Close at hand, the soldiers holding iron shields in the front row of the Han army suddenly lined up in groups of two to raise the iron shield in their hands at 45 degrees, and the spearmen behind him also stabbed the spears forward in pairs through the gap under the iron shield, and the two spears just locked the wheels on the ground through the gaps in the wheels of the iron shield car. The soldiers who were very few able to control the iron shield chariot were too fast to stop the iron chariot soldiers behind them, and were hit and killed by their own horses. For a time, thousands of iron shield cars fell to the ground one after another in front of the Han army's formation like dominoes.
The rest of the iron chariot soldiers panicked, they did not dare to attack blindly, quickly retreated dozens of steps, formed a circle, and kept firing crossbow arrows outward to resist the approaching enemy soldiers, although there was an iron shield protection, but there would still be many soldiers on the ground, but whenever the iron chariot soldiers wanted to celebrate, they would see the new soldiers in the enemy army quickly take over, and press towards them like black clouds with faster speed.
"Warriors, follow me!" Seeing this, Beigong Boyu knew that if he didn't make any more moves, the three thousand iron chariot soldiers would have to explain here, so he urged the war horse to rush over with tens of thousands of cavalry carrying siege equipment. How can the soldiers of the Han army fall behind, seeing that the main force of the enemy army is exhausted, Pang De Fang Yue took the lead and rushed over with their weapons, Xu Huang followed Zhao Yun's orders to prevent him from having an accident, the left wing Ma Teng Ma Xiu led 30,000 elite cavalry to attack Li Wenhou's Chinese army array, and the right wing Huangfu Song also led 50,000 horses from his headquarters to enter the Beigong Boyu army formation obliquely under the escort of several deputy generals, and cut it into two. Beigong Boyu was brave and fierce, but it was a pity that he was suppressed in front of the battle by Pang De and Fang Yue, and he could not save the remaining more than 1,000 iron chariot soldiers when he advanced, and the 50,000 troops of Huangfu Song who cut off himself were retreating. In desperation, he could only watch Zhao Yun and Xu Huang each shake their weapons and rush back and forth towards the formation, although they were anxious, they were helpless.
"Li Wenhou, look at the gun!" The father and son of the Ma family joined hands to stab Li Wenhou with their guns, and Li Wenhou pulled out his sword and fought back with the assistance of the two brothers, Cheng Meng and Cheng Yong. Ma Teng's eyes were full of anger, and the spear in his hand pressed down on Li Wenhou's head little by little: "The thief who betrays the Lord and seeks glory, today I, Ma Shoucheng, want to take your head to pay tribute to my soul in the sky!" Seeing that Li Wenhou was struggling, Cheng Yong, the deputy general next to him, waved his spear and swung Ma Teng's spear to protect Li Wenhou behind him: "Don't hurt my lord, Cheng Yong is here." Saying that, the spear went straight to Ma Teng's door, Ma Xiu raised his spear to intercept Cheng Yong to fight, Cheng Meng immediately danced his weapon and forced him to block Ma Teng, but Ma Teng's deputy general Shen Hou suddenly led a Biao army spur out obliquely and killed Cheng Meng in front of Ma Teng, Ma Teng was free and immediately freed his hand to chase Li Wenhou all the way to kill, in a panic, Li Wenhou could not resist Ma Teng's strength, and was shocked to the point that he abandoned his sword and ran straight to the rear army.
Song Yang, the commander of Li Wenhou of the rear army, saw Ma Teng holding a spear and chasing after the rear army, and immediately urged the 30,000 cavalry of the rear army to rush towards Wuwei.
"Ziming, it's too dangerous for General Ma to charge the battle alone, follow me to support immediately!" Zhao Yun picked up a cavalryman with a spear, and saw Ma Teng rushing into Li Wenhou's rear army alone, and immediately rushed over with his own soldiers and horses. Zhao Yun then danced the gentian spear to use a hundred birds and a phoenix, a pair of big wings opened and closed to pick countless enemy soldiers off the horse, Chen Gong saw a huge torrent on the city wall, followed Zhao Yun and raised bursts of smoke and dust, and went straight to Li Wenhou's rear army to kill.
"General Fang Yue, Lord Huangfu Song has no effective general, you go to support immediately." Pang De slashed against Beigong Boyu's cheek and left a striking wound on his face, picked off his helmet, turned his head and saw that the only few generals on Huangfu Song's side were following Huang Fu Song's side to guard, the 50,000 army was slow to form an effective attack on the enemy, and hurriedly ordered Fang Yue: "This person's martial arts are mediocre, Ling Ming alone is enough to deal with!" Seeing Pang De despise himself so much, Beigong Boyu immediately opened his round eyes angrily and raised his weapon to parry again.
"Throw!" With Gao Shun's order, the Han soldiers threw the rope in their hands, and accurately landed on the neck of the iron chariot soldier, taking advantage of the enemy's panic, the spearmen at the front shouted angrily "throw", and the spear in their hands rushed into the military formation of the iron chariot soldier with black pressure, and the iron chariot soldiers who were bound by the rope did not have time to dodge, and they were shot and fell to the ground, and a very small number of people swung their knives to cut the rope around their necks, and leaned over to dodge these thrown spears. Gao Shun danced the green dragon spear again and said to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, rush!" As the soldiers in the front row holding iron shields raised their iron shields sideways to open the formation gate, more than 3,000 soldiers shouted: "Rise into battle and be proud of the sky!! They all pulled out their short knives behind their backs, and under the cover of the crossbowmen behind them, they stepped forward and crossed the iron shield cart, and slashed at the remaining hundred or so iron chariot soldiers.
Lu Bu slowly walked up to the city wall with the support of Yuan Ruonan, and as soon as he showed his head, a cold arrow flew in front of him, Yuan Ruonan's hand quickly pulled out the Qingying Sword and broke the arrow cluster into two with a wave of volley.
"General!" Seeing this, Chen Gong on the side immediately rushed over with a hundred sword and shield soldiers and tightly surrounded Lu Bu in the center. Lu Bu waved his hand, signaled everyone to retreat, took the Lingbao Bow from the guards and shouted to the city: "Medium! But when he saw that the bow was like a full moon and the arrows were like shooting stars, an enemy archer two hundred paces away immediately fell to the ground. Lu Bu smiled contemptuously: "The tiger is not powerful, you treat me as hellokity?" As he spoke, he shook his body and was about to fall, but Ruonan beside him hurriedly hugged Lu Bu and said angrily: "The injury has not healed and you are tossing like this, you don't want to die?" Chen Gong coughed embarrassedly, waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and said to Lu Bu in a low voice: "General, General Gao has annihilated all the iron chariot soldiers, General Zilong and General Ziming have already entered the enemy's main formation, and it is not a problem for General Pang to defeat Beigong Boyu, it seems that this melee will definitely be clear before dusk!" ”
Lu Bu nodded, turned around and ordered: "Come on, prepare our Heavenly Painting Halberd Red Rabbit Horse, and the general will also go to kill for a while!" "Never!" Chen Gong dissuaded: "The general has just returned from the battle, and his vitality has not yet recovered, so he must not be in danger!" Lu Bu smiled, patted Chen Gong on the shoulder and said, "Even my lieutenant general has gone to the battlefield, how can this general, as the commander of the Bingzhou Army, hide in the city and be lazy?" Don't mention it again, do it quickly! Oops! Before the words fell, he felt a pain in his shoulder, and saw Yuan Ruonan's willow eyebrows upside down, and his slender fingers grabbed Lu Bu's shoulder and said angrily: "You scoundrel, do you think that the whole army will not be able to win without you?" Stay here honestly! ”
"Miss Yuan, ...... you" Seeing Yuan Ruonan's face full of dark clouds, Lu Bu closed his mouth in interest and was dragged down the city wall by Yuan Ruonan. Chen Gong smiled helplessly, turned around and ordered: "The enemy army still has at least tens of thousands of main forces that have not been put into battle, and the whole army is on strict alert to prevent the enemy from raiding the city gate." ”
