Chapter 23: Wang Ping
PS: Just one chapter, 5000 words!
Gao Jin was leading his battalion of men and horses to resist hard, Xiahou Yuan's men and horses were mostly cavalry, Gao Jin gathered his own troops to fight against him with fish scales, and Xiahou Yuan's offensive immediately slowed down.
All the armies under Huo Yi's tent are trained elite soldiers, although many soldiers are the first time to encounter such a battle, but the fight is very resolute, Xiahou Yuan's cavalry into the left army camp, caused a riot, Huo Yi's scout battalion immediately warned, each army and each battalion immediately woke up the sleeping soldiers, each returned to the building, according to the orders of the commanders of each department, the infantry front with a fish scale formation against the enemy, crossbowmen shot and killed at the rear point.
Li He's cavalry simply abandoned their horses and formed a fish scale formation.
Xiahou Yuan never thought that he would encounter such a big resistance before he could penetrate the Shu camp, he was a little anxious, if he was surrounded here, he was afraid that he would inevitably lose here. It seems that what he discussed in the account is not the best strategy, and he missed the combat effectiveness of Huo Yi of the rear army, but he never thought that the newly built army would have such combat effectiveness.
Xiahou Yuan could even see the murderous aura on the faces of these Shu soldiers, and when he looked closely, he found that many of them actually had barbarian blood. Xiahou Yuan understood that these soldiers were all composed of the elite of the Southern Barbarian and Han armies, and he knew how much combat effectiveness these barbarians with personal combat strength and courage would burst out after being constrained by strict military discipline.
The speed of the cavalry's advance became slower and slower, and Xiahou Yuan could even see that his own cavalry army had begun to slowly decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Liu Feng was pushed up by the guards from the dream, and heard that the rear army had already surrounded Xiahou Yuan, although there were many people and horses attacking the camp, but at this moment the offensive had been alleviated.
Liu Feng was overjoyed, and was busy preparing the horses with his personal guards, hastily draped them, hurriedly went out of the tent, rode horses, and was escorted by a group of personal guards. Went straight to the place where Xiahou Yuan was surrounded.
Gao Jin looked coldly at Xiahou Yuan, who was surrounded in the array, Huo Yi handed over the command of each army to Gao Jin when he left, Gao Jin had the obligation to ensure the stability of the rear army, and he refused to let go of the general Cao Jun.
This Cao army undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Gao Jin, although there were only 3,000 cavalry troops. But all of them were elites, although they had already taken precautions, and even formed the most effective fish scale formation to restrain the cavalry, they still killed and injured a lot of these 3,000 cavalry, just a battalion of men and horses under their command, and more than 300 soldiers were cut down in front of them.
Gao Jin knows. I must not let go of this Cao army, otherwise, when Huo Yi comes back and knows, he will definitely blame himself. It was because he was very cautious from the moment the Cao army broke into the camp, lest the Cao army attacking the camp find a gap and highlight the rear camp. In that case, the person will be lost!
Xiahou Yuan was very anxious, his own group of men and horses was unexpectedly surrounded by the rear army of the Shu army, which was really unexpected, who would have expected that these southern barbarians would not sleep at night and leave so many men and horses to guard? It can only encourage the sergeants under his command to strive to move forward. to break through the rear army.
Liu Feng led a group of guards to hurry up, but in the end they still caught up, and when they arrived at the place, they saw Gao Jin condescendingly, commanding all the armies to surround him, and he couldn't help but look pale.
came forward and snorted coldly: "Ridiculous! The thieves are coming. He did not even notify the commander-in-chief of the first army and mobilized the armies without authorization. What do you want? ”
Gao Jin was commanding the armies, but he glanced at Liu Feng coldly and ignored him. Continue to give orders, and see that the last direction must also be encircled, and at that time, only kill with crossbow arrows, or shrink the defensive line, and not give these 3,000 cavalry a chance to break through to swallow this group of men and horses!
Liu Feng saw that Gao Jin had never looked at himself in his eyes at all, and he was furious in his heart: "Shaft! You are a supreme general, you regard military law as nothing, come here, bring it to me! ”
"Whoa!" More than a dozen guards under Liu Feng's account immediately stepped forward and wanted to knock Gao Jin down.
Although the number of guards under Gao Jin's command is not large, there are also more than a dozen people on the military platform at this point, and they immediately draw their swords against each other.
The two sides confronted each other up and down the Dianjun platform, and the swords were tense, and they were about to explode.
Gao Jin didn't pay attention to Liu Feng, he was still calm and calm, commanding the armies.
Liu Feng was completely angry: "There are hundreds of you, are you afraid that ten people under this guy will not succeed?" Blockers are slashed! ”
"Whoa!" Under the chorus of these hundreds of guards, the momentum is full. The more than ten guards under Gao Jin's command, although their faces were pale, no one took a step back.
Gao Jin sighed: "Put down the knife and let General Liu come up." ”
"Only then did I put down the knife, but it was too late! Come on, take it with me! Liu Feng knew that this was an opportunity to master this team.
All the armor soldiers rushed up, and five or six guards instantly threw Gao Jin to the ground and tied him with ropes. The more than ten high-ranking guards were also tied up.
Liu Feng didn't look at the situation in the formation, but just glanced at Gao Jin coldly: "Hang this person in front of the banner, no drinking water shall be provided, and it will be exposed to the sun for three days to deter the army!" ”
Gao Jin hurriedly said: "General Liu, the enemy army can't be let go, I can deal with it, but the thief army must not get away!" ”
Xiahou Yuan in the formation looked around, but saw that the orderly Shu army was suddenly a little chaotic, and saw that there seemed to be a gap in the southeast corner, and said urgently: "The whole army follows me and attacks to the southeast!" ”
The remaining more than 2,000 cavalry troops are desperate to find life, of course, they will not let go, as Xiahou Yuan fought out of the encirclement, he actually highlighted the rear army Dazhai and went straight to the right army. For a while, it was like a dragon coming out of the shallows and returning to the sea. The rear armies are beyond their reach.
Liu Feng heard Gao Jin's words, but said with a smile: "The thief army can't run, you can surround it, who do you say I Liu Feng is?" Immediately, Shi Shiran went up to the military platform, only to see the dust of Xiahou Yuan's team of black-armored cavalry heading southeast. I couldn't help but turn pale. turned to look at Gao Jin again, and said coldly: "You actually let go of the thief army, what do you explain?" ”
Gao Jin looked at Liu Feng in amazement, as if he understood something, and laughed: "Villain! Villain! ”
Liu Feng said coldly: "Add you another crime of insulting Shangguan, can you admit it?" ”
Gao Jin was a fierce character, and he just shouted: "Shaft, do you think that if you use such a trick, you will be able to win General Huo's rear army?" Lamentable! Amusing! ”
Liu Feng's intentions were revealed, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and looked at Gao Jin coldly: "Are you forcing me to kill you and deter the army?" ”
Gao Jin lowered his head dejectedly: "You dare to kill me?" Will General Huo stab you in the future and avenge me? ”
Liu Feng bared a mouthful of white teeth outside, with that white cheek, reflecting the bonfire in the camp, very terrifying: "My father is his lord." Does he dare? ”
Gao Jin looked up at Liu Feng: "Don't you think that if you kill me, you will be able to take charge of the people immediately?" You might as well give it a try! ”
Zhao Heng and the others saw that there was no more order issued by the military platform, and the thief army was about to be surrounded, but they broke through and left, and they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what Gao Jin was doing, and actually missed the opportunity. Let the enemy get out of the way.
was in surprise, but saw a man dressed as a tooth general hurriedly running over: "General Zhao, go and see, Vice President Liu wants to kill General Gao!" ”
"What?" Zhao Heng grew up with Gao Jin since he was a child, and the five brothers were the five most outstanding among the servants of the Huo family, and they ridiculed and competed with each other on weekdays. But in private, they treat each other as brothers. At this moment, Gao Jin is in difficulty, of course, he will not stand by and watch, and said coldly: "All the armies, come with me!" I want to take a look at what this Deputy Liu can do in the second year of high school! ”
Huo Yi's major generals got the news that Li He, the commander of the cavalry, was not going to prepare the army and horses and pursue the Cao army. just led the generals under the tent straight to the point military platform.
Liu Feng looked at Gao Jin and said with a smile: "You are now in my hands, who can you count on to save you?" Huo Shaoxian? He can't protect himself, and he is thousands of miles away, how can he save you? Hahaha! Amusing! ”
Liu Feng's eyes were full of Gao Jin, and he suddenly felt that this man was a little cute, so he simply killed him. But it's not interesting, the slow torture made him lose hope, and when the news of Huo Yi's death came, it was his death, but it was the best.
"General!" Liu Feng was about to think about how to torture Gao Jin, the pro-guard general beside him. But he touched Liu Feng gently.
Liu Feng said impatiently: "What's the matter?" ”
But I saw that the tooth pointed to the bottom of the military platform with a trembling hand. Liu Feng followed his gesture and looked at the audience, but he was shocked on the spot.
The entire rear army had several battalions of men and horses, and no one went to chase the enemy, and surrounded the point army platform on all sides. Liu Feng could even see the devouring eyes in the eyes of the generals at the head of the platoon, and a chill rose from the back of his neck.
Li He led the generals and a group of soldiers to slowly go up along the military platform, Huo Yi's explanation when he left was still echoing in his ears, the remaining men and horses of the rear army wanted him to command with Gao Jin, Gao Jin's name was still in front of him, and even a fool could guess what this lord was going to do, and what the deputy army Zhonglang was going to do, it was nothing more than to take advantage of his own general to go out and annex the rear army.
Li He is a grateful person, he has been a general from the grassroots of the Han clan, and now, he is faintly the commander of the cavalry under the general. He slowly pulled out the hundred-for-one steel knife, even when he had just surrounded Cao Jun, he had never drawn the knife in his hand, but at this moment, he dared to draw the knife for Huo Yi's explanation, even if that person was the righteous son of the Lord.
Liu Feng gasped, when he was still fantasizing about swallowing this group of soldiers, he didn't take this group of generals in his eyes, without him, these people are all nameless, Jingnan fought two battles, except for Huo Yi, among the generals in Jingnan, no one has a reputation. He even guessed that as long as Huo Yi left this army horse, this army would become an ownerless thing to be slaughtered.
But at this moment, he was completely shocked by the momentum of this force, he was a little afraid, on the military platform, there were only hundreds of his personal guards, but all around were surrounded by Huo Yi's rear army.
Liu Feng reluctantly stood up, his eyes swept over the armies under the stairs, and he took a sip of saliva: "What do you want to do?" ”
"Please let go of General Gao!" Li He raised his voice.
"This person has no superiors, and he mobilizes all armies without authorization! I came here to drink, and he spoke against him, and he had no military law, according to the law, where is the army? Liu Feng seemed to remember something and shouted.
A thin man came out from behind Liu Feng, and the villain said triumphantly: "According to military law, you should be beheaded!" ”
"Yes! Do you hear me? Can I let such a disobedient person go? Liu Feng seemed to be taking advantage of the reason, and his confidence became more and more sufficient, and he stood with his hands in his hands and looked down at Li He.
"Before my general went out, he entrusted the duties of the first army to General Gao! General Gao was just performing his duties, but it was the appearance of General Liu that made the thief army break through! But I don't know which military discipline General Gao has committed? Lu Yao said loudly.
"What nonsense are you talking to him? This person has wolf ambitions and wants our army to change hands! If you kill Shu Yue, you can kill chickens and make an example of monkeys! Yi Yun said urgently.
"Zhonglong is right! He dares to move a finger of Uncle Yue, and I will never die with him when I leave! Brothers, give it to me, take the blades of these people, tie up this person, and go to the lord to theorize! "It's a temper tantrum to leave, and I don't want to endure it.
Li He knew that this matter was extremely tricky. This son is deceitful, but this violent temper of renunciation is the best way to solve this matter, and it is not to hinder it, and even to go up to the head.
The guards under Liu Feng's tent were all shocked by this scene at this moment, and the group of people didn't have to do anything, only half an hour later, and they had already rescued Gao Jin. didn't tie up Liu Feng, nor did he reason with the lord, but in fact, he could rescue Gao Jin. Just be cautious, after all, the general of his own family really handed over the rear army to this son in name, and it is impossible to say where it is.
Liu Fengzi will not give up. This team is too attractive to himself, so he can only wait for the news of Huo Yibing's defeat and death to come, and then it is not too late to start, and then he will rectify this army and generals one by one, establish prestige, and then report today's hatred.
However, it was said that Xiahou Yuan was rushing all the way, and Zhao Yunbu of the right army was attracted by Xu Huang's feint. But he didn't guard against killing a cavalry army from the rear, and he was caught off guard and broke through for Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan experienced the battle of the rear army, and he had already become a frightened bird, but when he arrived at the right camp, he did not dare to stay longer, and hurriedly broke through. Zhao Yun was confused, not knowing where this cavalry army came from and what purpose it came from.
Dawn. The Cao army evacuated all three routes, and after last night's battle, the losses of the Shu army were not small.
There were more than 2,000 casualties in the left battalion, most of which were trampled on each other, and even Chen Shi, the general of the left army, was beheaded by Xiahou Yuan in this battle. The left battalion was in great confusion for a while, and did not dare to pursue.
After the military camp was solidly garrisoned, Liu Feng even won Liu Bei's praise for this. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and even some well-informed people have already learned about the situation of the rear army last night, and at this moment, seeing Liu Cover's iron color, he was praised, and those who knew the reason couldn't help but laugh at this son behind his back.
Although the right army was broken through last night. The losses were minimal, no one was killed, and only a dozen people were shot and wounded in the night for the feint attack on Cao's army.
Although the Cao army's attack on the camp did not cause any substantial damage, it was inevitable that the morale of the Cao army would be greatly boosted in the end of the counterattack against the Shu army's offensive in the area of Dingjun Mountain.
When Xiahou Yuan and the three of them returned to Dingjun Mountain Dazhai, it was already dawn.
Xiahou Yuan suffered several knife wounds, but they were all skin wounds, but they never hurt the vital point. For a while, he was also in high spirits: "Junyi, Gongming!" Although this battle has experienced many twists and turns, the morale of our army has been greatly boosted, and it can be regarded as a victory, but there is one thing, and we must be careful in the future. ”
"What?" They both asked at the same time.
"Last night's battle was quite thrilling, I broke through the left village, entered the rear army village, almost surrounded by the elite under Huo Yi's tent, I broke through after the 3,000 people only left 2,000 and 56 people, most of the dead were left in the rear army village, it can be seen that this Huo Yi is not a good person! This person is skilled in using soldiers, not under Zhang Wenyuan! Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice.
"He once had a relationship with this son, and that time, he almost left his life in Brazil." Zhang He sighed.
"In this way, when our army engages with the Shu army in the future, when it encounters the rear army of the Shu army, we must be careful and vigilant, and we can't watch it from ordinary people!" Xu Huang also agreed.
"Report! Last night, when the armies were exhausted, there was a person who claimed to be a noble man in Shu who shot a secret letter, and the letter was to be personally handed over to General Xiahou to open in person. Just as the three of them were discussing Huo Yi's rear army, a general of Xiahou Yuan's personal guard came in and presented a secret letter.
"Oh?" Xiahou Yuan turned out to be the silk book, read it carefully, and after a while, his face was grim, and he slowly handed the letter to Zhang He.
Zhang He also read it carefully, and then circulated it to Xu Huang.
After reading it, Xu Huang smiled: "Why should the general worry, if the water is turbulent, this son is coming, and it is also fierce and auspicious, so there is no need to worry!" ”
"Don't be careful! If this person breaks through Nanshan, and then invades Nanxiang and enters Kou Nanzheng, at that time, our army is in danger! Zhang He replied.
"It's just that our army is short of manpower at this time, how can we divide the troops? It is the division of troops, who can go? Xiahou Yuan said.
"The day before yesterday, the prime minister sent captain Wang Ping to send military rations and baggage, and he saw that this person is very popular, and he is familiar with the geography of Bashu, so he can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility!" Zhang He suggested.
"Let's take a look, our army is engaged in detailed activities in Brazil, you can wait for the news of these detailed works, if Huo Yi really has the intention of committing a crime in the north, I think these detailed works will definitely be able to detect it!" Xu Huang said again.
"Komeito is right! Just wait a few more days, maybe the water is turbulent, and this son can't pass and can't be known? Xiahou Yuan said without speculation.
"Whoa!" Zhang He saw that Xiahou Yuan's attention had been decided, so he had to agree.
As soon as Zhang He came out of the big tent, he came to the baggage camp, he still did not give up, he personally fought with Huo Yi, he knew how terrible this enemy was, how crazy he was, that day he hundreds of cavalry dared to pursue his 2,000 men and horses, it was enough to prove that Huo Yi was very likely to lead a partial division to attack the rear of Hanzhong.
Wang Ping, the captain of the baggage battalion, except for Zhang He, no one knows what kind of revenge this man with a mediocre face and a taciturn man on weekdays has.
Even Zhang He only met Wang Ping by an occasional opportunity, and he was immediately impressed by his talent, which made Zhang He amazed.
Wang Ping, as in the past, sorted out the inventory of the report, and few people were able to complete the verification of these huge and boring figures so seriously.
"Captain! General Zhang is here and wants you to meet him. A soldier came in and said. (To be continued......)
