readx;
On the second day after Diao Xiong was named a general, he led 4,000 iron cavalry to the south first, and ordered Zhang Xiu and other generals to lead the rest of the army to the south, aiming directly at Fancheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the way to regain the Son of Heaven, he had received an urgent report from the south that Lü Bu had broken through Jiangling and driven Liu Biao to the four counties of Jingnan.
This also means that the most important cities in Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Jiangling and Xiakou, have all been taken by Lü Bu.
On the third day of Lü Bu's attack on Jiangling, Wang Yun, who stayed in Xiangyang, crossed the Han River with an army of 20,000 troops, marched north from Fancheng, and approached Xinye.
Xinye is the important town of Gongwei Jingzhou, Wang Yun did not dare to act rashly because Lu Bu Jiangling was not broken, and now that Jiangling has been broken, he naturally wants to take advantage of Mink Xiong's return to the division, and take the Xinye town in one fell swoop, and then wait for Lu Bu's army to go north, and then fight to the death with Mink Xiong to avenge the former revenge.
However, just when Wang Yun led an army of 20,000 and marched north, more than ten miles away from Xinye, he suddenly heard the shocking news that Diao Xiong "hijacked" the Son of Heaven and moved the capital to Wancheng and was named a general by the Son of Heaven.
The stunned Wang Yun didn't expect that Mink Xiong would return to Wancheng so quickly with his soldiers, and he also successfully captured the Son of Heaven and was named a general.
In addition to being stunned, Wang Yun immediately realized that he would never have good fruits to eat when he attacked Xinye, and immediately ordered tens of thousands of troops to retreat to Fancheng in a hurry.
In the Jingzhou army, rumors suddenly spread.
At the same time, the news that Diao Xiong had returned to Wancheng with the Son of Heaven had spread throughout the army, which immediately dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Wang Yunjun, who was mainly from Jingzhou.
The name of Diao Xiong, in the eyes of Jingzhou people, has become synonymous with the devil. Several beatings. It has made their hearts palpitate.
Wang Yun's order to retreat was given by himself. The battalions began to rush south in spite of the order of retreat laid out in advance.
A retreat turned into a disorderly escape in half a day, and more than 20,000 Jingzhou troops fought for each other on the road to the south, desperately fleeing south.
When the chaotic retreat of the Jingzhou army was less than half a day, Diao Xiong led the main force of 4,000 iron cavalry to arrive at Xinye City.
The gates of Xinye City were wide open, and Ji Ling, who had been stationed here for a year. Led a city guard to meet Mink.
"Congratulations to the lord on his promotion to the general, and he is powerful in the world" Ji Ling, who came to him, smiled and praised.
Mink Xiong approached his horse and praised: "Zicong, for more than a year, if you hadn't kept Xinye from losing, I would have been able to conquer the east and west, and I will remember your hard work." ”
With Minkxiong's approval, Ji Ling's face couldn't help but show a little relief.
"Now the Jingzhou army has retreated. It is better for the lord to tell the soldiers to rest for a few days first, and then it is not too late to go south to attack the enemy. Ji Ling proposed.
A sneer crossed the corner of Diao Xiong's mouth. Waved his knife and shouted: "Pass on the general's order, the whole army will immediately go south, follow me to kill Wang Yun, seize Fancheng, and kill all the way through Hanshui!" ”
With 4,000 cavalry, plus 5,000 soldiers and horses in Xinye, there were nearly 9,000 soldiers available in the hands of Diao Xiong.
In terms of troops, the mink male was weaker than Wang Yun's 20,000 horses, but he had a strong cavalry, and he came with the power of a great victory, and his morale was high.
Nine thousand cavalry elites are enough to defeat the 20,000 Jingzhou army that retreated in a hurry!
Diao Xiong then divided the soldiers and horses into three lanes, Ji Ling led 3,000 soldiers and horses, pursued from the left flank, ordered Xu Chu to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, pursued from the right flank, and Diao Xiong attacked 3,000 from the south, chasing the retreating enemy from the center, and the retreating enemy army was pursued by the three routes, and the target was directly at Fancheng.
The soldiers and horses of the mink army, who were in full swing on the three roads, went south from Xinye City, and rushed south with great momentum.
The road from Xinye to Fancheng is less than 100 miles, and if Wang Yun's army can retreat in an orderly manner, it will be able to reach it smoothly in about a day with a rapid march.
However, the Jingzhou army, which was in a state of panic, rushed to the road with each other, and the sergeants fought with each other, and there was no order at all, which delayed the speed of retreat.
……
The next day, at dusk, the remnant sun was like blood.
Thirty miles away from Fancheng, Minkxiong's elite cavalry finally caught up with the retreating enemy.
The eagle looked far away, but saw that the road to the south was full of abandoned armor, banners and other ordnance, and even the whole vehicle of grain and grass was discarded, which showed the panic of the enemy's retreat.
And at the end of the avenue, Mink Xiong saw countless sergeants who had lost their armor and abandoned them, crowded on the road like rushing to a market.
The banner of the word "king" was shaking in the dust, and it was unstable.
"Wang Yun, it's time for us to settle the ledger......"
In the sneer, the ermine male sword eyebrows were crossed, the hunting and murderous spirit was wild, and he raised his sword and shouted: "My warriors, follow me to kill the enemy thieves, and let them know the power of my general-"
Under the order, the mink male clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and the green dragon knife came out like the wind, and the hot-blooded mink knight behind him roared with a killing sound that shook the sky, and it roared out like a landslide.
Iron hooves galloped, lifting up the dust in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of shouting and killing like a tide soared into the sky, causing the world to change color.
Among the enemy troops, the old Wang Yunzheng scolded, trying to stabilize the order of his soldiers' retreat.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound in his ears, and when he subconsciously turned his head, the whole person suddenly seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.
Cavalry, a large force of cavalry killed!
The battle flag with the word "mink" flew proudly, and it was Mink Xiong who personally led the army to kill!
In an instant, Wang Yun's old face was distorted and deformed in shock.
A group of frightened Jingzhou soldiers looked back anxiously, and when they saw the rolling sandstorm, the figures surging in the dust and mist, and the banner of the word "mink" fluttering high, they instantly fell into an unprecedented panic.
"The mink male is coming!"
"That demon has been killed, run!"
The frightened cries of the chaotic crowd suddenly rose, and the Jingzhou army, which was already in a restless mood, collapsed in a blink of an eye, and they all hugged their heads and ran away.
In the midst of the crisis, Wang Yun forcibly calmed down and panicked, frowned and shouted: "Cai He, the old man ordered you to speed the four thousand soldiers and horses of the headquarters to form a formation to meet the enemy, and you must block the enemy army, otherwise my 20,000 army will be finished." ”
The previous Lu Bu seized Xiangyang, it was the Cai family that should cooperate with the outside, and now Cai He is on the order of Lu Bu to guard Xiangfan with Wang Yunzhen. became Wang Yun's general.
Cai He's heart trembled. Said hurriedly: "The mink male iron horse is fierce. How can I stop an army of thousands of paces? ”
Wang Yun glared at him and said sharply: "This is the old man's military order, you dare to disobey it!" ”
Wang Yun ordered the general to move out, and Cai He had no choice but to reluctantly reprimand the 4,000 Jingzhou soldiers under his command to form a formation to meet the enemy.
Wang Yun turned his horse and galloped, following the 10,000 panicked Jingzhou army, like ants that had collapsed their nests. Looking in the direction of Fancheng, he ran.
Cai He is not a person who does not understand military affairs, he tried his best to stabilize his mind, galloped back and forth to command, and in the shortest time, hastily formed a large infantry formation, blocking the way of the avenue.
To the north, the mink male, who rushed to kill, was more than 300 steps away from the enemy's formation.
He looked up, but saw the enemy formation blocking his way, and the shieldmen, gunners, and crossbowmen were stacked on top of each other. Lined up, facing the fierce rush of the cavalry of their own army. There was a faint sign of composure.
The corners of Diao Xiong's mouth swept up with a sneer, and he shouted fearlessly: "In the world, who can still stop my iron cavalry, and the whole army will attack its right flank for me." ”
Under the order, the following standard-bearer waved the command flag, and the three thousand cavalry, when they were two hundred paces away from the enemy formation, suddenly changed direction, circled an arc, and attacked the right flank of the enemy formation.
The essence of cavalry is not to blindly charge into formation, but to grasp the weakness of the enemy's army, and attack the soft flank of the enemy's infantry formation at any time with strong mobility.
Mink Xiong saw through it at a glance that the enemy soldiers blocking the way lacked cavalry support, and the right flank was a soft flank.
Cai He, who was in the infantry formation, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the enemy's cavalry turn to attack the flank, and he hurriedly ordered the army formation to turn.
The soldiers hurriedly turned around, but four thousand people were crowded together, and it was not easy to turn around with such a behemoth.
When the formation had just turned its head, and the shieldmen and gunners had not yet taken their positions, the cavalry led by Mink Xiong had already rushed to within a hundred paces.
The rolling iron stream, like a black angry wave, carried the power that swept everything, and roared.
The huge wedge-shaped array composed of 3,000 iron cavalry, like a torrent breaking down the embankment, was wrapped in supreme power, and suddenly attacked towards the flank of the Jingzhou army array.
The more than 100 cavalrymen who rushed to the front pressed down the spears pointing at the sky, and more than 100 cold blades merged into a huge arrow that moved the heavens and the earth, tearing the air like the fangs of the god of death.
This made the deterrent power of heaven and earth slaughter crush the will of the Jingzhou army that could not turn to resist in an instant.
The shieldmen in the front row looked at each other in horror, and some of the courage was still looking around at the movements of their companions, while the cowards had already begun to turn around and flee
Cai He in the military formation was shocked, and tried to suppress the formation again and again, but there were more and more escapees, and he even killed several deserters with his own hands could not stop the trend of rout.
The infantry formation, which was as steady as a rock a few seconds ago, is now like a fragile glass wall, shattering with one click, and the entire wall will be torn apart.
Cai He's complete will also collapsed, and he didn't care about Wang Yunjun's order, so he turned his horse and fled first.
As soon as the main general fled, the remaining will of the Jingzhou army collapsed in an instant, and thousands of people scattered in a hurry, scurrying around like headless flies.
The oncoming Mink Xiong, leading his iron cavalry, like a wild beast out of a cage, plunged into the flock, and the blade in his hand ruthlessly slashed at these enemy soldiers who blocked the progress, stepping on their corpses and crushing forward.
The mink male is like a god general descending from the nine heavens, and the green dragon knife is split in all directions, and the blade passes through, leaving no life.
No one can stop it, rolling all the way.
Polar eyes swept forward, and Mink Xiong recognized Cai and Na at a glance.
"The people of the Cai family, who don't know how to lift, even dare to help Lu Bu do against me, and let you pay the price today!" The mink male was furious, and slapped his horse and chased after him. , running like the wind, approaching Cai He in a blink of an eye.
Cai He, who was fleeing in a panic, turned around and caught a glimpse of Mink Xiong chasing after him, and was so frightened that he couldn't give up, while desperately whipping the horsewhip and running wildly, while ordering the knights of the pro-army on the left and right to block Diao Xiong's way.
Those pro-soldiers didn't know Diao Xiong, and under the urging of the main general, they had to turn their horses back to block.
"The people of the local chickens and dogs dare to stand in the way of my mink male!" The mink male drank violently, and the long knife in his hand roared out, fanning out like a wheel from left to right, and the majestic power actually lifted a fan-shaped tail dust.
The dragon descending sword technique was used, and in an instant, the enemy soldiers who stood in the way were torn apart.
The blood-stained figure of the young man, the horse pierced through the blood mist, and attacked Cai He like black lightning.
In the loud shouting, the Qinglong knife slashed out wildly, slapping at Cai He with overwhelming power, Cai He didn't have time to think about it in horror, and instinctively copied the knife to block it with his backhand.
With a roar, the knife in Cai He's hand flew into the air, and Nuoda's body was shocked and flew out diagonally, falling heavily to the ground.
With just one move, Mink Xiong knocked Cai He off his horse. (To be continued.) )
