Chapter 57 Foggy Road Lost Battle Thousands of Troops
said that Hua Fei was afraid that things would change, and he led the army all the way to hurry. Unexpectedly, the sky had just entered autumn, and it was actually foggy for several days. Hua Fei was secretly surprised in his heart, but the changes in the way of heaven were beyond his expectations, so he didn't take it to heart.
After two days of marching, there was little population along the way. Huafei only caused the displacement of people because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. On this day, the fog finally cleared.
Hua Fei asked people to listen to the news, and the reward actually went to the boundary of Xiquyang in Huainan. When Hua Fei heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that he was going to Runan, but he crashed into someone else's house.
He immediately reacted and immediately said loudly: "Xu Sheng immediately went to order the whole army, lowered all the flags, and the whole army followed the line and quickly found a place to hide." Anyone who discovers our army will be taken down and sent to the Chinese army. ”
Xu Sheng knew that something was wrong, and quickly led people to follow the order.
Hua Fei ordered again: "Jincheng, Xu Kai!" Let each of you lead a man to disguise himself as a merchant, ride your horse to the northwest and southeast, and report back immediately to find out. ”
Jin Cheng and Xu Kai received the order and quickly took people away. Hua Fei quickly led the whole army, and the secluded place was hidden.
He knew that this place was now Yuan Shu's territory. If Yuan Shu is poor and extravagant, he doesn't pity the people at all! It's no wonder that along the way, it is sparsely populated.
For people like Yuan Shu, Hua Fei has always hated him very much! However, hatred is hatred, and now he is in the territory of other people, and this strong dragon is not the head snake of the ground!
He thought to himself: "I came to someone's house with my soldiers for no reason, so I have to withdraw quickly." Otherwise, if it is discovered, it will be a bad cake! ”
But now that I have arrived in Xiquyang, if I go back. Let's not say that the road is difficult, and I am afraid that it will also be discovered by Yuan Shu's people.
If Yuan Shu finds out, he is on his territory. still has thousands of elite soldiers, so it's really just, and it's impossible to explain the reason.
He couldn't tell Yuan Shu: "I'm here to hunt in Huainan with soldiers, right?" ”
Moreover, he only has more than 3,000 soldiers now, and this Yuan Shu estimates that he must have at least 100,000 elite soldiers. If this fights, with 3,000 against 100,000, it will be a field battle, and it will be simply looking for death.
And the current Yuan Shu is not only a large number of soldiers. It is said that even Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, is under his command, and the big thing is really not good!
Tai Shici and others also know that something is not good about big things! Therefore, they all stared at him blankly, hoping that he could get an idea as soon as possible.
Hua Fei turned the Buddha beads, and quickly calmed down with the faint scent of sandalwood. He thought to himself, the way back can't be walked, then the only way forward is feasible.
But the situation is unclear at the moment, and he can't make a decision. Therefore, he could only be patient and quietly wait for Jin Cheng and Xu Kai's intelligence news.
Fortunately, Jin Cheng and Xu Kai sent back information in less than half a day after they went. Jincheng can hear that in the northwest direction of Xiquyang, there are two important towns of Shouchun and Huainan.
These two important towns have roads leading to Runan. And it is densely populated, but the Yuan Shu faction is heavily guarded.
And the news from Xu Kai said that it was sparsely populated in the southeast of Xiquyang. If you take Changfeng through Yangquan to Yingshang, you can also enter the ground of Runan, but the detour is longer.
After Hua Fei listened to the information, he thought to himself: "If you turn directly to the northwest and go to Runan." The chances of being discovered by Yuan Shu are too great, so he can't take this path. ”
He also thought that since the northwest was not feasible, then the only way to march to the southeast was to continue the march. According to Xu Kai, the area was sparsely populated, and although the road was far, it was suitable for his army, so he decided to take the southeast route.
Hua Fei immediately issued an order and ordered Xu Sheng to take people to Xiquyang disguised as merchants to buy various items and clothes. Prepare to order the whole army to rush in civilian clothes, disguised as homeless people or merchants.
He also ordered a hundred horsemen to wrap their horses' hooves in cloth and silk, and spread them in four directions of the army, and spread them out for ten miles. Keep an eye on the surroundings for any people approaching the army.
In the end, he ordered Tai Shi Ci to command the remaining 200 cavalry. Pretend to be a rich man with a servant and go out to play. for emergency response forces.
After everything was ready, he ordered Xu Kai and Jin Cheng to lead the two people and go to the southeast first. Seek secluded roads along the way and lead the whole army forward.
He also ordered a hundred horsemen to protect the whole army, and finally ordered the whole army to tighten and move forward at a uniform speed. It only travels more than 100 miles a day to rest in order to maintain the best marching condition of the army.
The army marched for a few more days, but the whole army moved quickly and well, and the journey was uneventful. It's just that Huafei's Chinese army has already won more than 100 pedestrians by chance.
Hua Fei appeased with kind words, claiming that as long as they did not run away and did not resist. When he reached the land, he would give them silver and gold to make up for their losses and let them go home.
After listening to his words, these pedestrians were all very clear. The current situation is that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat. Therefore, it all works very well.
On this day, the army marched to the ground near Dongcheng, and Hua Fei suddenly received an urgent report from the front. Jin Cheng and the others found that about ten miles ahead, there was smoke and dust, and the shouts were noisy.
Hua Fei hurriedly ordered Wu Xu and Xu Sheng to lead the army to find high ground, form a formation to hide and prepare for battle. He also ordered his guards to guard the prison and hundreds of pedestrians. Only then did he take Tai Shi Ci to lead two hundred cavalry to check the situation.
When Hua Fei leads the army and rides his horse to a high place. I could only see the open area between the forests and mountains in front of me, five miles away. There were hundreds of old and weak women and children in ragged clothes, running in their own direction, running as best they could.
And on the road about a few hundred meters away from them, there were more than 30 young people, who seemed to be the descendants of this group. The one who was holding the bow and arrow was broken, covering their escape.
About two miles away, there were thousands of soldiers under the banner of 'Yuan'. In the dry autumn wind, he waved his blade and shouted loudly to chase after him.
Hua Fei saw that this group of people was in distress, but they were going to be chased and killed by the soldiers in fear, how could he not be angry in his heart? He put his hand on his horse and looked into the distance.
In addition to the thousands of soldiers, in the distance behind them, it seemed that the clouds were light and clear, and there was no sign of smoke and dust. Knowing that this was a lone team, and there was no follow-up to chase after him, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He immediately ordered the heralds, and quickly went back to deliver the order to Wu Xu and Xu Sheng, ordering them to lead a team of 1,000 people each, and with the help of terrain cover, to penetrate the left and right ribs of the two hundred cavalry he led.
Then it advanced rapidly, cutting off the enemy's retreat. Then if the gong sounds, Xu Sheng attacks. The drums struck, and the two armies went out. Obey orders and do not make mistakes.
In order to protect the safety of the whole army, he even issued a killing order. Ordered Wu Xu and Xu Sheng: "Don't let the enemy army, one person and one soldier escape." Whoever does not abandon his arms and surrender on his knees will be killed! ”
The herald led the order to rush away, and Hua Fei took two hundred horsemen and kept a certain distance from the running people. Keeping an eye on the chase of the three teams, he slowly retreated.
With the command delivered, after a meal of kung fu. Wu Xu and Xu Sheng had already led the army out in a hurry, staggered with thousands of pursuers. The remaining thousand-man team, also under the leadership of Hong Shengmuyuan, made peace with Hua Fei's two hundred cavalry.
At this time, the enemy army has also approached, covering the young and strong descendants of their relatives who have fled. Hua Fei saw that the situation was critical, and immediately ordered Tai Shi Ci to lead two hundred cavalry, quickly detour forward, and crush the pursuers from the side.
Tai Shi Ci got the order and led the army to leave quickly. Hua Fei ordered Hong Shengmu to lead a team of 1,000 people and immediately raise the flag. All the troops waved their flags and shouted, and marched in a square formation.
Hong Shengmu raised his voice and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, waving the flag and shouting to move forward!" With their command. In an instant, thousands of people roared and waved hundreds of flags in the south direction!
chased both sides in shock, and looked towards Hua Fei. Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves gathering in the dry autumn wind in the northwest direction.
Everyone turned their heads sharply to look, but saw more than 200 horsemen forming a cone-shaped array. With the smoke and dust rising like a dragon, it rushed from a high place.
The first hand, the blue armor and white robe, in the gallop of the horse, roared with a bow and arrows: "Donglai Taishi Ci is here, those who want to live, abandon their weapons and kneel on the ground!" ”
The roar fell, and the two armies had already rushed close to two hundred and fifty paces. Everyone saw that Tai Shi Cili's arm was loose, and then 'Bang! A chord exploded.
The big banner of the word 'Yuan' of the chasing soldiers was immediately in the 'Huh! In the rapid breaking of the wind, the sound fell with the wind. Yuan Jun was taken aback, and a general in the army waved his sword and shouted: "The spear resists the enemy, and the whole army is distributed... uh..."
He was still finished, but he could hear the bowstring ringing again. The strong wind flashed sharply, and Yuan Jun was shocked to find that the general had been sealed by an arrow! He threw the big knife, and in the thick of the bloody gas, his hands were clutched by his throat, and he screamed "uh-uh" in a low voice.
In the blink of an eye, Tai Shici had already led the army to run a hundred steps closer to Yuan's army, and then hung his bow and raised his spear and shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
The two hundred horsemen behind him shouted in unison, and in the roar of the heaven-shattering roar, they rushed towards the panicked Yuan army.
Yuan Jun saw that his magic arrow was invincible, and the leader was dead, so he couldn't help but shout in frustration. Some abandon their weapons and kneel on the ground, while others turn around and run.
But due south, the sound of the drums of 'dong dong' began. Wu Xu and Xu Sheng led the army to rush out from both sides and blocked the enemy's way.
Yuan Jun, whose morale had been lost, saw that there was no way out. Seeing that the enemy army was strong, he had to abandon his weapons and surrender in chaos amid the roar of the army.
Huafei mobilized well, a battle of annihilation of thousands of people. It just started and ended quickly in the astonished eyes of hundreds of poor people, with the annihilation of Yuan's army.
Hua Fei saw that he had successfully saved people, and he had captured thousands of enemy soldiers without a single soldier, and he was also very proud in his heart! He then ordered the troops to collect their weapons and watch over the soldiers.
Prepare to immediately lead the army and quickly leave the scene of the crime. Give Master Yuan Shu a hand, and come and go without a trace. but they did not know that among the people whom he saved. There is even one, including a peerless talent!
