Chapter Fifty-Seven: Two Zhang Zhan Qingzhou, Sun Ce Mou Shouchun
"Righteousness, it's not good!" In Beihai City, a heroic general hurried over and said to another general who was sitting in the Beihai Taishou Mansion reading a book.
"Brother Jing, why are you so alarmed?" The general, who was originally sitting there reading the military book, put down the military book in his hand and asked with a smile. He is now Yuan Shao's general, known as one of the four court pillars in Hebei, Zhang Junyi, who just hurried over is Gao Ran Gao Jingzhong, who is ranked last in the four court pillars.
"Exploring the Malay report, Zhang Fei of Dongguan County suddenly sent troops and captured Yangcheng County, and Zhang Nan, the defender of Yangcheng, was killed." Gao Ran said hatefully.
"Huh?" Zhang Jaw was also a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and said: "If the Xuzhou army wants to start a war with us, it must attack Beihai or Yangcheng first. Beihai has you and I here, Zhang Fei easily did not dare to make a mistake. But Yangcheng," said Zhang Jaw a little annoyed at this: "Zhang Nan of Yangcheng also divided 30,000 troops for him to guard, why did you ask Zhang Fei to break the city so quickly?" ”
"According to the defeated soldiers who fled, Zhang Nannai fought with Zhang Fei, and as a result, Zhang Fei was beheaded under his horse in three rounds, and his army collapsed, which made Zhang Fei take the city." Gao Ran hated iron and steel.
"Didn't I tell him to stick to it, bastard?" Zhang Jaw was immediately annoyed when he heard this. How did he know that Zhang Fei ordered people to scold under Yangcheng City repeatedly, but Zhang Nan couldn't hold his breath for a long time and went down to the city to fight Zhang Fei, and the final result was self-evident.
"Junyi, now Zhang Fei and Chen Gong are leading tens of thousands of horses to kill in Beihai, what can they do?" Gao Ran hurriedly asked. Although he is also ranked among the four court pillars of Hebei, Gao Ran is still self-aware, he knows that he is not as good as Yan Liangwen and ugly in martial arts, and he is not as good as Zhang Jaw in terms of strategy, so in this case, I still listen to his opinions.
"Zhang Fei is coming to Beihai?" Zhang Jaw is really a little unbelievable this time, generally speaking, there are many people who beat few people, and few people who take the initiative to attack. He was entrusted by Yuan Shao to guard Qingzhou, but in fact he was guarding the counties south of the Yellow River. The reason why 150,000 troops were placed in this place was to prevent Liu Bei in Xuzhou from suddenly going north. It's good now, Zhang Fei only has 100,000 people under his command, and he still has to leave some people to guard Yangcheng County, and his subordinates have such a few people, and they dare to come to fight themselves.
"Zhang Fei is a brave and unscrupulous person!" Hearing this, Zhang Jaw shook his head and said, and then ordered the army to be reorganized for battle. If Zhao Feng was here, he would definitely know that Zhang Jaw was going to be bad. In history, Zhang Fei led more than 10,000 men and horses to attack the Wakou Pass, which was guarded by 30,000 people in Zhangjaw, and finally only a few dozen people escaped from Zhangjaw. Now the comparison of forces between the two sides is not so great, plus Chen Gong has made suggestions for Zhang Fei, and more importantly, Zhang Jaw does not pay much attention to Zhang Fei, so in summary, Zhang Jaw is bound to be tragic.
Not to mention that Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran discussed how to fight the enemy in Beihai City, but in the Xuzhou army on the expedition at this time, Zhang Fei was also convening everyone in the camp tent. "Yangcheng County originally belonged to Dongguan, and now it can be regarded as returning to its original owner!" Chen Gong twisted his goatee and laughed.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Fei is not as knowledgeable as Chen Gong, and he really doesn't know anything about it. At this moment, Tanma reported that Zhao Yun was ordered to lead 10,000 cavalry to help in the battle. "Zilong is here!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard the news. Not long after, Zhao Yun arrived, and after everyone saluted, Zhang Fei asked: "Zilong led the army to help the battle this time, but my Xuzhou cavalry is already well-trained?" ”
"Exactly!" Zhao Yun nodded. Over the past year or so, since the extortion of nearly 10,000 war horses from Cao Ying, the cavalry in Xuzhou has reached nearly 20,000. Later, Liu Bei used grain and grass to trade horses with the Wei family in Yanzhou, and got a total of more than 20,000 war horses. Except for the main generals' personal guards, the remaining 20,000 war horses were all organized into a whole cavalry unit, which was trained by Zhao Yun.
Originally, Zhao Feng wanted to get the ironclad chain horse out, that thing was simply a tank in the era of cold weapons. However, I later found that it was a little difficult to do so, mainly because Liu Bei's horses were mainly Shandong horses, although they were not bad, but they were significantly worse than the Bingzhou horses and Youzhou horses, let alone compared with the Xiliang horses. After putting on the heavy iron armor, most of the horses were unbearable, and Zhao Feng had to suspend the idea of forming heavy cavalry. At least, Zhao Feng wouldn't try again until he got a better war horse, or transformed a lighter battle armor.
The heavy cavalry could not be trained, but the light cavalry trained by Zhao Yun in imitation of the white horse Yicong of Gongsun Zan in the past was still quite powerful. Zhao Yun is no stranger to commanding cavalry, he was the captain of Baima Yicongli back then, and now he is even more handy at leading troops alone.
"With Zilong's help, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Zhang Fei said with a smile. At this moment, the Malay newspaper was explored, and Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran led an army of 50,000 to call for battle. "Let's go, let's meet this open jaw!" Zhang Fei was also in high spirits, and went out of the village with Zhao Yun to meet the enemy.
Thirty miles from the North Sea, in the wilderness, two groups of men and horses were facing each other. "Taiwei Liu is known for his benevolence and righteousness, why is General Zhang raising unknown soldiers to invade my borders?" In front of the two armies, Zhang Jaw spoke first.
"My eldest brother was ordered by His Majesty to conquer Yuan Shao. General Zhang is a famous general in Hebei, why don't you abandon the dark and turn to the light, so as not to ruin the lives of the people of Qingzhou! Zhang Fei also talked eloquently.
"General Zhang's kindness is understood, but the loyal ministers don't care about the two masters. I have heard for a long time that General Zhang's martial arts are outstanding, and he once fought Lu Bu alone for 80 rounds before the Tiger Prison Pass, and I want to ask for a few tricks today! Zhang Jaw didn't talk much nonsense, and after finishing speaking, he drove his horse and gun straight forward. Seeing this, Zhang Fei also drove forward to meet the enemy.
There is a way that a tree lives a skin, and a person lives a face. For a famous player who has reached the level of open jaw, no matter how strong the opponent is, he can't even have the courage to go head-to-head, otherwise he won't come out and mix in the future. Of course, Zhao Feng's opinion on this is that he must die to save face and suffer the crime.
"A thousand armies are broken!" Although Zhang Fei despised Zhang Jaw, he knew that Zhang Jaw was in Hebei, which was full of talents, and he could be known as one of the four pillars of Hebei. The generals and colonels who watched the battle from the sidelines, and their eyesight was a little poor, and they couldn't see which of these eighteen moves was a false move, and they only saw a black shadow killing at Zhang Jaw.
"Good!" Zhang Jaw still has time to cheer after being busy, he knows that although Zhang Fei's move is difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality, as long as he can't block it, the false move may become a real move at any time. At that moment, Zhang Jaw raised the iron gun in his hand and blocked all the moves he stabbed at Zhang Fei. After blocking sixteen times in a row, the last two were too late to block, so he could only lean down and use the second horse as a cover to avoid it by taking advantage of the moment when the two horses were pedaling wrongly.
"Huh?" Zhang Fei was also a little surprised to see that Zhang Jaw actually caught this time, and the last one who could catch it like this was Xu Chu under Xuzhou City. However, Xu Chu was too late to catch the last three hits, so he used a lose-lose move to draw with himself. Zhang Jaw is hiding now, it seems that although this Zhang Jaw has high martial arts, his courage is not as good as that of Xu Chu, an outlaw. Rao is like this, he can dance a forty or fifty pound iron spear as light as an ordinary wooden-handled spear of a few catties and taels, and his open jaw is also quite good.
Zhang Fei, who knew that he was good at opening his jaw, didn't dare to slack off, and attacked the past with one move, and Zhang Jaw gritted his teeth to catch them one by one. On the scene, Zhang Fei basically accounted for seventy percent of the offensive, but Zhang Jaw occasionally counterattacked once or twice, which was also extremely tricky. After nearly fifty rounds of fighting, the two of them slowed down significantly. There is no other reason, it is really Zhang Fei's strength is too great, and he uses the blade of the Zhangba Snake Spear, which should have taken the light and agile route, extremely strong, and it takes a lot of strength to open his jaw every time he catches it. Over time, my arms began to go numb.
"Zhang Feipifu, eat my high-level move!" At this time, Gao Ran, who was watching the battle, gradually saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly slapped his horse and stepped forward to rescue. When the Hebei army watching the battle saw this, their momentum suddenly plummeted. Zhang Jaw, who is known as one of the four court pillars in Hebei, actually showed his defeat in fifty rounds, which is really unimaginable for these big-headed soldiers. Now Gao Ran still wants to bully more and less, which is even more frustrating. But I didn't know that Gao Ran was also helpless: could he just watch Zhang Jaw being killed? Apparently not.
"Don't bully too much!" Gao Ran's wishful thinking did not start, and Zhao Yun in the Xuzhou army jumped out to intercept Gao Ran. As soon as he fought, Gao Ran was taken aback, this seemingly young general's martial arts were so good, he was overwhelmed by the speed of a silver spear, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of white mist after a few moves, and the tip of the opponent's gun was rubbed against his body several times. And looking at the other party's relaxed demeanor, it is obvious that he has more than enough strength.
In fact, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei are the same age, and they are both 31 years old at this time. But he's handsome and looks younger. Not to mention the horror in Gao Lan's heart, Zhang Jaw on the other side knew that the fighting generals would not be able to take advantage of it today, so he gritted his teeth and forced Zhang Fei to make a move, and then returned to his horse and withdrew to his own formation. "Respectfully, retreat!" Zhang Jaw could still see Gao Ran being killed by Zhao Yun in a hurry, but he didn't want to feel a little sweet in his throat when he shouted this shout, and then he knew that Shicai had suffered some internal injuries in the first battle. looked down at his hands that were aching, only to find that the tiger's mouth was also cracked.
"Hey!" Gao Ran's martial arts are not as good as opening his jaw, and he took a shoulder fight at the moment, but he hurried back to the army. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun didn't chase after them, they just looked up to the sky and laughed in front of the formation. Behind him, the Xuzhou sergeant shouted again and again, and his morale was greatly boosted.
"Prepare to attack!" Zhang Jaw just finished giving the order, suddenly felt the ground under his feet a little vibration, he has been on the battlefield for a long time to understand that this is at least 10,000 cavalry can cause vibration, he did not send cavalry today, these soldiers are obviously from Xuzhou, and his face changed greatly.
"Cavalry, cavalry of Xuzhou!" At this time, many Hebei troops had already discovered smoke and dust on both sides. In this battle, Zhang Fei used Chen Gong's strategy to use himself and Zhao Yun to single-handedly attract the attention of the other party, but Song Xian and Wei Xu each led the cavalry to outflank Zhangjaw's infantry from both sides, and finally broke Zhangjaw. More than half of the 50,000 troops suffered casualties, and he led the remaining men and horses back to the Beihai fortress to defend it, and refused to fight again.
"This victory, the two generals have a lot of credit!" In the Xuzhou military camp tent after the war, Zhang Feichao, who was in a good mood, smiled at Song Xian and Wei Xu. "Don't dare to be, if it weren't for General Zhao's cavalry, how could we break the Hebei Army!" Song Xian hurriedly said modestly. He is not a fool, if he had been asked to outflank the two wings with infantry, he would have been broken through by Open Jaw a long time ago. But in this cavalry with a strong mobile surname, it is really haunting the Hebei army.
"The method of riding and shooting the dragon is really good!" Zhang Fei turned his head to Zhao Yun and sighed, this time he was sincerely amazed. The strong mobility of the light cavalry + long-distance bow and crossbow shooting, such a combination made the Hebei infantry complain. At that moment, Zhang Fei ordered Song Xian to lead 5,000 men and horses to escort back to Xuzhou nearly 30,000 soldiers captured in the two wars. He and Zhao Yun, Chen Gong and others led the rest of the men and horses, preparing to take Beihai City again.
Just when Zhang Fei and Zhang Jaw were fighting fiercely in Qingzhou, at this time, in the city of Wu County in Yangzhou, Sun Ce suddenly convened the generals to discuss the matter. "Everyone, I intend to send troops to Huainan and take Shouchun and Nantong!" As soon as Sun Ce's words came out, everyone was shocked.
