Chapter 221: Galloping
The smoke of the Tiger Prison Pass was filled, it was clearly visible within a radius of dozens of miles, the billowing smoke went straight to the sky, even the sky was shrouded in black clouds, a tragic fire, not only burned the Tiger Prison Pass, took away many innocent lives, but also an important turning point.
The coalition front is too long, the supply is difficult, and the lifeline may be cut off at any time, if it weren't for Chen Gong's desperate resistance, the Tiger Prison Pass at this moment may have changed hands, and this sneak attack is of great significance.
Xu Yan was busy all night, he was really tired enough, but now it was not the time to rest, Chen Gong specially proposed that he must beware of the enemy's attack again, and the defense of the Tiger Prison Pass must be arranged immediately.
However, Dian Wei did not attack again, this arrangement did not have an effect, Chen Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief, if the enemy attacked again, he really didn't know what to do, except to flee, I am afraid there is no other way.
Just when Chen Gong was relieved, Wang Kai walked up and said uneasily: "Gongtai, what happened here, I will send someone to report it!" I believe that it will not be long before General Xiahou will learn, what should we do at that time? ”
"Don't worry, I am responsible for all responsibilities, how to judge the details, the tiger prison is not lost, the big deal is not this official, there is nothing to worry about." Chen Gong has already thought through this problem, and guarded the Tiger Prison Pass, there is no problem with the surname, it doesn't matter if the official is inappropriate, it is just right to go home.
Compared with Chen Gong's free and easy, Xu Yan and Wang Kai are a little unnatural, and it is not for everyone to give up their official positions easily, but Chen Gong said that he would take responsibility, and the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, if such a big thing happened, someone had to carry it......
The Tiger Prison Pass is gloomy, but Xiahou Yuan is competing with Li Daniu, but obviously Xiahou Yuan is not as insidious as Li Daniu.
In the first confrontation, Xiahou Yuan discovered the place where the gold was buried, dug it out, poisoned ten of his own soldiers, and ended in failure, and then Li Daniu followed Dian Wei's instructions to seduce Xiahou Yuan with a grain carriage.
The angry Xiahou Yuan pursued to the west again, and after half a day, he caught up with ten grain trucks, and the enemy army disappeared, and then the enemy attacked with rolling stones at a high place, Xiahou Yuan swallowed the bitter fruit again, and Li Daniu fled with people.
Twice clashed, Xiahou Yuan was completely out of temper, Li Daniu shrewdly like a monkey, retreated as soon as he touched, if he left, if there was a slight mistake, he would immediately flee away, drill into the forest, the enemy was difficult to pursue, Xiahou Yuan's plan completely failed, instead of finding the enemy's stronghold, he lost his troops and lost his generals.
The teacher was unfavorable, Cao Xiu rushed into Xiahou Yuan's big tent early in the morning, and dissuaded: "Second, those rabbit cubs are too insidious, they chased for a day, and they even touched a shadow, they can't go on like this, I think they found out." ”
After a day of pursuit, Xiahou Yuan was not a stupid person, so he naturally noticed that something was wrong, and frowned at the moment and said: "Well, I also feel this way, the enemy army has been fleeing towards the west, obviously not rushing to the camp, maybe this is just a bait!" We might be ambushed! ”
Cao Xiu was not surprised for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's too much to worry about, the enemy army is only more than a thousand people, it is impossible to pose a threat to our army, there are three hundred cavalry, our army has the advantage, why should they ambush our army?" ”
"Report!" Xiahou Yuan just wanted to talk about it, when an urgent report suddenly came from outside the big tent, and Xiahou Yuan suddenly had a silent premonition in his heart, I am afraid that this time is not a good thing.
"Captain, the military situation is urgent, and the Tiger Prison Pass has been attacked!" The panting messenger soldier uttered the shocking news in one breath.
"What!" Xiahou Yuan took two steps back, he never expected such a result.
Cao Xiu grabbed the messenger soldier and said with a hideous face: "Are you saying it again, is it a mistake!" ”
The messenger soldier's face turned pale, and he trembled and said: "It's true, the villain doesn't dare to lie about the military situation!" Also, Zhang Taishou and the guard were poisoned, so hurry up and go back to preside over the big thing! ”
It came too suddenly, Cao Xiu was unacceptable, and he raised his fist to strike.
Xiahou Yuan, who had a gloomy face, shouted: "Enough, immediately class teacher, don't waste time!" ”
Cao Xiu hatefully put down the messenger soldier and argued excitedly: "Second, you really believe this person's words!" Such a big Tiger Prison Pass, guarded by nearly 3,500 soldiers, how could it be easily sneak attacked, unless Meng Ge grew wings and flew to the Tiger Prison Pass, but now Meng Ge is still in Hangu Pass! This is definitely fake! ”
"Also, how could Zhang Taishou and the guard master be easily poisoned, there must be a conspiracy, I killed him!"
Xiahou Yuan grabbed Cao Xiu and shouted, "Enough, pull out the camp immediately!" Otherwise military law engages! ”
Cao Xiu, who still wanted to say something, shut up, Xiahou Yuan's eyes were a little scary at this time, if he dared to say a word, I was afraid that the sword would come up, and he didn't want to become a ghost under the sword.
"Order the battalions, pull out the battalions!" The military order was quickly issued, and the entire barracks immediately moved.
"Hurry up, tie up your tent!" The camp immediately became confused, and the sound of one after another was endless.
The location of the Tiger Prison Pass is too important, Xiahou Yuan is anxious, at this moment, he can't wait to fly to the Tiger Prison Pass, Zhang Miao and Wei Zi both died, there is no one in charge of the Tiger Prison Pass, if the enemy army attacks again, I am afraid that the Tiger Prison Pass will be over, and no one is more anxious than him.
A few miles away, on a high mountain peak, the trees stood thickly, obscuring the view, and a pair of eyes in the jungle were watching the big camp, and Xiahou Yuan's movements were exposed.
"Brother Niu, Brother Niu, come here, the coalition forces are moving!" Mo Lin hurriedly urged Li Daniu.
Li Daniu, who had just woken up, yawned, and when he heard the enemy's movements, he rushed to the front, only to see that the coalition forces were busy in full swing, and he seemed to be pulling out the camp, but he was a little panicked.
Li Da Niu suddenly froze: "It seems that it has been successful, otherwise the enemy army will not be in a hurry to retreat!" ”
"Quick, let the brethren prepare, it's time for a counterattack!" Li Daniu shouted excitedly, they had waited for a long time for this opportunity, but they didn't expect the opportunity to arrive so soon.
"Counterattack!" Mo Lin was confused, how to counterattack in this situation, the enemy army has 3,000 people, and his own side has 150 people, Qu Chang should not have a fever in his brain, Mo Lin wants to touch Li Daniu's head to see if he has a fever, otherwise how could he give such a ridiculous order.
Looking at Mo Lin's expression, Li Da Niu was angry, and said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, shouting people, attacking, kill him today, I'll let them chase me and fight, hehe, it's time to change positions this time." ”
The people of the Poison Dragon Battalion, when they heard the fight, they all became excited, and they all geared up, ready to do a big fight, I'm afraid there is nothing more exciting than this, more than a hundred and ten people pursued the army of three thousand, who could imagine this kind of thing.
Li Daniu was refreshed, but the cavalry battalion in Hanguguan was miserable, drank the northwest wind all night, and each was frozen to the nose and face swollen, Wen Chou and Gao Ran led the troops to block the Xiangyang Ancient Road, Meng Ge did not dare to attack, only took the opportunity to check the surrounding situation, and ruled out the possibility of the enemy ambush.
The crossbow battalion was late, resulting in the loss of the best time to pursue, but this cannot be blamed on the crossbow battalion, the speed of action between the infantry and the cavalry is very different, and it is normal to come late.
In the early morning, Meng Ge, who had been busy all night, just got up, and Xiahou Lan replied: "General, Wen Chou has withdrawn!" ”
Meng Ge wiped his face and said nonchalantly: "As expected, how many men and horses are ambushed in the rear of the enemy army?" ”
"The preliminary estimate is that there are 10,000 of them, all of them are cavalry, and Wen Yuan found tripping horses and other things!"
According to today's discoveries, if they had charged yesterday, they would have suffered heavy losses, and the outcome was unknown, and they had lost their powerful shots, and the cavalry battalion was left with only one way to attack, and a strong attack was not what the light cavalry was good at.
However, the enemy is better at raiding, most of the coalition cavalry is used for charging into formation, on the ability to charge into battle, the coalition cavalry is not inferior to the Menggo cavalry battalion, and the terrain restricts the cavalry to play, eliminating the advantage of Menggo, the coalition forces have a slight upper hand this time, but strategically, they lost a move to Menggo.
The withdrawal of the coalition forces was expected by Mongo, and his movements had already been thought out.
"Very good, since the enemy has withdrawn, let's stick it! Tell them not to be in a hurry, to be vigilant! Mongo smiled and gave the order.
When the enemy army escapes, he naturally has to follow well, otherwise it will not be a loss, not to mention such a good opportunity, Meng Ge wants to have a good time, he wants to see where the coalition army can retreat.
Further east is Luoyang, if the coalition forces really retreat to Luoyang, Mongo will be very happy, which means that the coalition forces must defend on all sides, and then their situation will be even more difficult.
As soon as Wen Chou's front heel left, the army behind Meng Ge was pulled out, and the target was directly aimed at Cao Yang, which was the most ideal place for the coalition to defend it.
Pegasus galloped, and immediately someone came to report: "The army of Mongo is approaching!" ”
Wen Chou's brain suddenly became like a mush, he looked back at Gao Ran suspiciously, and said angrily: "What the hell, why did Meng Ge keep up again!" Isn't he really afraid that our army will bite him back! ”
It seemed that Meng Ge was really not afraid, Gao Ran smiled bitterly: "You should not be afraid, since Meng Ge dares to pursue, then he is absolutely sure!" Our cavalry does not have an advantage, and the general must not attack rashly! ”
"Then hurry back to the lord!" Wen was ugly and lost his temper, so he had to reply sullenly.
This battle is not only a battle formation, but also a battle of wits, and Mungo has always hung far behind.
The two armies galloped, and the movement of the Wen Chou army was under the control of Meng Ge, and after a while, Pegasus reported: "The Wen Chou army is evacuating to Caoyang, and there is no other enemy trace within thirty miles!" ”
When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately rejoiced: "There are no other enemy troops in thirty miles, general, you can pursue!" ”
Meng Ge nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that the coalition forces are not bold enough, Wen Yuan, you go to fight Wen Chou, and tease this guy well!" Earn some interest! ”
"The last general commands!" Zhang Liao surrendered his hand and left.
After drinking the northwest wind all night, Zhang Liao was a little unhappy, and finally the crossbow battalion kept up, this time he was not afraid, if the enemy really dared to turn back, he would ensure that there was no return, and he would just recover yesterday's interest.
After a short time, a cavalry army left from the flank, and quickly approached Wen Chou's department, looking menacing.
"Report to the general, the enemy cavalry is approaching rapidly!"
Wen Chou was suddenly startled, and hurriedly asked, "What?" How far is it going? ”
The messenger soldier did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Ten miles away, it is still accelerating!" The enemy army has 3,000 horsemen! ”
"Is the enemy really going to fight?" Wen Chou's face was cloudy, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be.
Gao Ran's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "General, the purpose of the enemy army is to drag us down, and our army must speed up immediately!" Don't get stuck on! ”
Wen Chou blurted out: "Run away, the enemy army is only 3,000 horsemen, why do you want to escape?" ”
For fear that Wen Chou would mess up, Gao Ran immediately said: "General, the overall situation is important, the lord asked me to wait to drag Meng Ge, now that the situation has changed, it is better to gather the army first and then make a plan!" ”
The lord was moved out by Gao Ran, Wen Chou suddenly wilted, and the thought of turning back immediately disappeared.
Wen Chou had to reluctantly order: "Order the whole army to approach Cao Yang immediately!" ”
The noisy battlefield added a little more tension, Zhang Liao was violent, leading more than 3,000 horsemen to quickly approach Wen Chou, the earth-shattering killing shouts arrived in a blink of an eye, Wen Chou's army hurried to warhorses, regardless of it, and quickly approached Cao Yang.
"Kill, capture Wen Chou alive!"
"Coward, Wen Chou, don't run if you have a kind, fight with your grandfather for three hundred rounds!"
"Wen Chou, women have played too much, seeing how my brother's legs are weak, go home and drink milk! Hahaha! ”
Zhang Liao chased all the way, constantly provoking Wen Chou all the way, at this time Wen Chou will never turn back, but the provocation may not be useful, it is naturally better to lure Wen Chou out.
Seeing that Wen Chou's face was cloudy, Gao Ran hurriedly said: "General, don't listen to them, withdraw first!" ”
"I'm angry with me, this is better than getting it back sooner or later!" Wen Chou roared angrily.
But the military order is like a mountain, and Wen Chou does not dare to disobey the military order, although he wants to kill back and kill the gang and smash it, but under the pull of Gao Ran, Wen Chou had to ride his horse to Cao Yang.
On the flat plain, Zhang Liao's eyes were like falcons, staring at the prey in front of him, and he saw that he was a few points closer, and the range was almost the same.
"Run, don't let them have a good time!"
The fire soldier who had been holding back his stomach for a long time did not hesitate, and one after another feathered arrows shot out angrily, and in an instant, a rain of arrows shot towards Wen Chou's army.
"Ahh A few screams were heard, and several coalition soldiers fell like gourds on the ground.
"Good! Keep shooting! ”
Seeing that the rear army was attacked, Wen Chou suddenly said angrily: "Damn it, let's kill it back!" ”
"If you turn back at this time, you will definitely be washed away, no!"
Gao Ran was anxious and jumped up, the opportunity had been lost, and there was no chance of winning the battle at this time, but it would be delayed.
Under Zhang Liao's running, dozens of people were disturbed by random arrows and fell off their horses one after another, and the speed of the coalition cavalry was a few points faster, and Zhang Liao faintly couldn't catch up.
"Damn, it's running too fast!" Zhang Liao cursed fiercely, both sides were cavalry, and the horsepower was almost comparable, and it was too difficult to catch up.
Just as Zhang Liao was chasing at high speed, the front changed again.
