vs 52 The Assassination of Wang Liu [II]
The huge shouts from the flank of the camp made Huang Zhong's subordinates, who were preparing to resist the frontal attack of Li Dao's army, have a huge fluctuation in their hearts. Subsequently, in a dim light, several nearby fires were ignited, confirming the news that the Huangzhong camp had been broken through by the enemy.
In the face of the sudden internal and external attacks, Huang Zhong's troops only resisted for a while, and there was a large rout. Huang Zhong is strong in force and has excellent archery skills, but his ability to lead soldiers is not the best in the world. If it is good in good times, once they fall into unfavorable adversity, those Jingzhou soldiers who have experienced insufficient battle formations naturally do not have the consciousness of fighting to the death and not retreating.
"Gan Ning!"
found that the one who led the troops to raid him was actually the former "Jinfan Thief", and Huang Zhong almost crushed his back molars angrily. Although he had a mediocre relationship with Gan Ning, he never imagined that with Gan Ning's bold and righteous temperament, there would be a betrayal of the battle!
"Gan Ning! You scoundrel! You're secretly joining the enemy? Can it be worthy of the reuse of the King of Chu!? β
Separated by more than a dozen miscellaneous soldiers, Huang Zhong shouted to Gan Ning's location. Even if there was chaos in the night, the angry Huang Zhong still spread the rebuke far away, causing the offensive momentum of Gan Ning's subordinates to be frustrated.
"Reuse?"
Gan Ning yelled at Huang Zhong disdainfully:
"When did Liu Biao reuse Gan? Since Gan entered Jingzhou, he has fought 37 bloody battles and won countless battles, but he is not even as good as Huang Shot [Huang Zu's Son]! β
The resentment of being excluded for a long time in the Jingzhou army was vented heartily by Gan Ning. He cut off the head of a Jingzhou soldier with a knife, and continued to shout loudly, releasing his chest:
"Mu Gan is a Jinfan thief, what does it mean to be not thin?!"
Huang Zhong also knows what happened to Gan Ning. Comparing his heart to his heart, he also has some sympathy for Gan Ning. But. This does not mean that Huang Zhong can tolerate Gan Ning's shameless behavior of taking the initiative to betray the lord.
"Shameless rebellion! If you don't agree, you go, why bother with the stack! Rebelling, and talking nonsense? β
It is always dishonorable to rebel against this identity. With the ethos of the Han Dynasty, it is certain to despise that. Gan Ning has a violent temperament, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to be famous. Rebellion is the title. He wasn't interested in putting it on.
"What is rebellion? Three years ago, Lao Tzu invited Zhao Gong to join Jizhou secretly. If it weren't for the difficulty of the road, and Zhao Gong personally commanded, why should Lao Tzu be angry under Liu Biao'er? β
The antecedents revealed by Gan Ning himself made Huang Zhong surprised!
- Three years ago? At that time, Gan Ning did not officially join Liu Biao's subordinates!
ββZhang Qiang, who is thousands of miles away, how did he know that there is such a strong person as Gan Ning in the south?
- Could it be that that arrogance is really a "peace of mind" who responds to the stars?
For a while, Huang Zhong was shocked by the news he heard. He didn't really fight with the arrogance though. But I have also heard of all kinds related to arrogance. Gan Ning is not a person who talks about it, and since that guy said so, most of the things are true.
With distracting thoughts in his heart, Huang Zhong's attack began to lag. To add insult to injury, due to being caught off guard, the gate of Huang Zhong's camp had been opened by Gan Ning's subordinates who were suddenly killed.
So in an instant, thousands of Northland cavalry. Like a howling wind, a raging conflict entered the camp. Such a blow. Even if Huang Zhong tried his best to restrain him, the collapse of the Jingzhou soldiers still became unstoppable.
Huang Zhong, the first brave warrior in Jingzhou, was defeated!
After breaking into the Jingzhou Army Dazhai with the main cavalry, Li Dao greeted Gan Ning with a high spirit, and then issued an order to his subordinates to continue to advance. As for the direction of the breakthrough, it is - Sun Jian's camp!
Select the direction of the attack for the next step. Li Wei thinks like this:
Although the defense line of the Jingzhou army has been successfully broken, it is only two of them. Under the circumstance that the shouts of killing were everywhere and the other Jingzhou soldiers were guarded by clubs, it would inevitably take a considerable amount of time for Li Dao to completely destroy the Jingzhou army.
Compared with. Sun Jian's army, which was responsible for the siege of the city, obviously lacked defensive preparations for the rear. If the attack was launched before Sun Jian's army reacted, Li Wei's cavalry would definitely be able to achieve more results than the attacking Jingzhou army.
Li Wei's grasp of the battlefield is obviously quite accurate. It is precisely by virtue of this that he can always suppress his colleague and friend Guo Yan, who has reached the level of "10,000 enemies".
The situation was as Li Wei expected. When thousands of Zhao cavalry launched a surprise attack on the camp where Sun Jian's generals were located from the Dazhai position of Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, Sun Jian's soldiers had not yet reacted. In just a quarter of an hour, the camp of Cheng Pu and Song Qian's two generals was broken by the cavalry of Zhao State.
Watching the attack of the Zhao cavalry in full swing from the rear, Guo Jia, who was wearing a helmet and armor, couldn't help but laugh proudly. The guards on the side saw that Guo Jia was happy, and said with a funny smile:
"Strategist, this is enough for those Southern Barbarians! You have made such a great achievement, and the lord must be extremely surprised! β
"No, it's just the beginning, that's it!"
Guo Jia, who was a little complacent, narrowed his small eyes, and his eyes were full of light:
"Presumably there should be movement in Zhang Ji, right?"
Zhang Ji, who was mentioned by Guo Jia, was staring at him in surprise after discovering the fire and shouting killing not far away. And the old friend sitting in front of him, the new enemy, Guo Yan, urged Zhang Ji with a smile on his face:
"Well, it's time to make a decision, right? Don't be like a mother-in-law, hesitating, not our good man in Liangzhou! β
Although Zhang Ji and Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others are the four fierce generals of "Dragon, Tiger, Leopard and Bear", he is the oldest and least capable of the four. However, it is precisely because Zhang Ji has always lacked assertiveness that Jia Xu, a wise man in Liangzhou, chose to assist him. At this moment, Zhang Ji was urged by Guo Yan for a while, and couldn't help but set his eyes on Jia Xu and asked what Jia Xu meant.
"Brother Zhang, the big thing is decided. At this point, it should be my last chance to take refuge. β
Sighing softly, Jia Xu said to Zhang Ji in a heavy tone.
In fact, seriously speaking, Jia Xu is not a very ambitious person. In this troubled world, he just wants to save his family's life and live his own stable life. Therefore, as long as you can settle down, you can take refuge in which princes. Jia Xu is not picky. But this also made him lack loyalty to any prince.
And as a scholar from a poor family, Jia Xu admired the arrogant imperial examination system. He privately told Zhang Ji that if insolence can finally succeed, then the world's poor family will have a good chance to stand out in the future. In the future, if there are still people in the same situation as him. Try a new path.
Originally, Guo Jia didn't know much about Jia Xu. But after a special reminder from Insolence, Guo Jia knew that Jia Xu was a rare person in the world who was smart and resourceful. For this reason, Guo Jia spent a considerable amount of money to collect information about Jia Xu.
With detailed information on the report, Guo Jia already has a draft of how to treat Zhang Ji and Jia Xu. Before sending someone to contact Gan Ning, Guo Jia asked his own family Guo Yan to come forward according to his own judgment. Quietly sneaked to Zhang Ji's camp and persuaded Zhang Ji to defect.
Regarding Guo Jia's request, Guo Yan readily agreed. After the previous Qingzhou strategy, Guo Yan's strategic level of Guo Jia can be described as admiring the five-body land. Moreover, Zhang Ji and Guo Yan are old colleagues in Liangzhou, and they have not interrupted contact for many years, which can be described as a great relationship. Even if Guo Yan returns in vain this time, there will be no danger.
Ultimately. Everyone is their own master, and they are all Liangzhou villagers. There is no need to ruin the reputation of your own family for the sake of other people's hegemony.
Seeing Jia Xu express his opinion as Guo Jia expected, Guo Yan had already determined the success of this trip in his heart. At this time, Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu also added a fire and shouted:
"Uncle! My nephew knows that you think that Liu Jingsheng is not kind to me, so it is not good to fight each other with a sword. But Liu Jingsheng contained our army at the beginning. It's just to guard against Sun Jian and Yuan Shu. If you want to return Liu Jingsheng's favor, as long as our army does not attack Liu Jingsheng. Our army can directly attack Sun Jian! β
Zhang Ji married his wife late, and so far, the eldest son is only three or four years old. Therefore, Zhang Xiu's nephew is the most important family member in Zhang Ji's heart at the moment. To put it mildly. If Zhang Ji dies immediately, whether it is in blood or personal strength, Zhang Xiu is the inevitable next commander.
Jia Xu's words have already made Zhang Ji have an obvious attitude tendency. Zhang Xiu's words finally made Zhang Ji make up his mind.
"Good! Let the brothers get ready, let's go and dismantle Sun Jian's camp, which will be counted as a gift to Zhao Gong! β
With Zhang Ji's order, Zhang Ji's army, which was already ready for battle, immediately made a move. As soon as this elite army from Liangzhou and had been fighting on the battlefield for many years was put into the battlefield, it immediately plunged Sun Jian's army, which was already in chaos, into complete despair!
Originally, Liu Biao and Sun Jian allied more than 40,000 people, and a total of 14,000 or 5,000 people against Li Dao and Xu Huang, which can be said to have an absolute advantage in terms of troops. However, with the successive defections of Gan Ning and Zhang Ji, the gap in strength between the two sides suddenly turned into a draw close to 1 to 1.
In addition, Zhao Guojun occupied the initiative advantage and the effect of the surprise attack, and many Jingzhou soldiers and Sun Jianjun voluntarily abandoned the village and fled at night due to the unknown battle situation and the chaotic battalion. The outcome of both sides can be determined.
When Sun Jian and Liu Biao successfully used Dazhai's defensive ability to stabilize the entire front after dawn, the difference in strength between the two sides had become about 10,000 people against more than 20,000 enemies. Whether it is in terms of strength or morale, the Zhao army has an advantage, and this does not include the cavalry advantage of the Zhao army.
The tide is over!
Even if you don't want to admit it, it's true. And when facing the iron cavalry of tens of thousands of Zhao Guojun's side, Sun Jian and Liu Biao even retreated into an extremely difficult move.
For a whole day, Li Dao was sending troops to harass the other party, maintaining pressure on the enemy and not allowing the enemy to have a chance to rest. However, the troops on the Zhao side, with the help of Chen Liucheng's defensive strength, got a certain degree of rest.
A day later, Zhao Guojun and Sun Jian and Liu Biao's allied forces fought fiercely thirty miles outside Chen Liucheng. With the desperate sniping of the fierce general Xu Chu, Sun Jian was able to evacuate the battlefield in embarrassment. As for Liu Biao, he was almost caught up by Zhao Guojun, and had to leave behind the general Huang Zhong and his nephew Liu Pan, so that he was able to escape with the remnants of the army.
In the battle, Sun Jian and Liu Biao side, a total of more than 30 middle and senior generals such as Xu Chu, Song Qian, Huang Zhong, Liu Pan and so on were killed in battle, which can be described as a great injury. Among the main generals on the side of Zhao Guojun, only Zhang Ji was unlucky in the chaotic battle, and was exchanged for his life by Xu Chu, cutting off a hand and becoming a disabled person.
After the news of the Battle of Chenliu broke, coupled with the unknown outcome of Cao Cao's life and death, the counties and counties of Yanzhou quickly collapsed. In the case that Zhang Qi did not march, many local officials had surrendered the city, expressing their willingness to become the territory of Zhao Gong.
The situation has developed to this point, as long as a discerning person knows that the belonging of the world has been decided.
In the near future, after years of war, the world will be unified again, except for Zhao Gong's arrogance, it will not be anyone else! (To be continued......)
