Chapter 30: I am your General Li's in-laws
In the summer of the fourth year of the early Ping Dynasty of the Han Dynasty (193), in the land of Qinchuan in Xiliang, there was a major battle dominated by the Xiliang army, led by Dong Zhuo's old Fan Chou and Ma Teng Han Sui coalition army. Fan Chou confronted the 70,000 Ma and Han coalition forces in Qinchuan with an army of 50,000, and the Ma and Han had to storm Qinchuan in order to attack Sanfu directly. Fan Chou first used 10,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 young men in the city to assist in defending the city, and 40,000 cavalry did not move in the city. The Ma-Han coalition army stormed for three days, and saw that Qinchuan was in danger, but Fan Chou's cavalry still did not appear. Ma Han and the two suspected that Fan Chou's main army was not in Qinchuan, and they were worried that the back road would be attacked, so Ma Han and the two of them divided 10,000 troops all the way to the left and all the way to the right, spying and defending. At this moment, Fan Chou rushed out of Qinchuan City with 40,000 iron horsemen waiting for work, Ma Han was caught off guard, and even abandoned the baggage, but fortunately the armies on both sides of the previous time came back in time, Ma Teng rushed out of the encirclement with 3,000 cavalry, and Han Sui almost fled alone. Of the 70,000 troops of the Maham-Korean coalition, including 30,000 Qiang, more than 33,000 were killed and nearly 20,000 were captured, and the rest fled. Fan Chou with the remaining 20,000 iron cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers all the way to chase and fight, until Di Dao, Han Sui turned around and moved Fan Chou with his old feelings, Fan Chou stopped the pursuit, and ceded Jincheng County on the south bank of the Yellow River to Han Sui, which is Han Sui's hometown. Ma Teng gathered the rout and fled, and more than 4,000 people returned to Wuwei, and Fan Chou led his division to come to Chang'an.
At this time, to the north of Chang'an, Guo Yan's army also confronted Xu Rong and Han Xian across the river. Guo Yan knew that Xu Rong was using soldiers, and he might say that he was not afraid of Xu Rong, but Guo Yan still didn't have much confidence, and when he learned of Fan Chou's victory, he hurriedly asked people to go for help, Guo Yan and Fan Chou had a good relationship, although Li Wei had more troops and was close, but Guo Yan would rather ask Fan Chou for help than Chang'an. Xu Rong's 20,000-strong army was less than a hundred miles away from Han Xian's east and west, and it was corresponding from afar. However, Guo Yan looked like he was stubbornly defending the martial arts city, so he didn't go out of the city, Xu Rong and Han Xian didn't dare to abandon their martial arts and cross the river directly, for fear of being attacked by Guo Yan behind him, with Chang'an in front and Guo Yan in the back, Xu Rong didn't dare to take such a risk. The two armies were in a stalemate again for more than 10 days, each with its own victories and defeats, but it was only a small friction and no harm.
Presumably, the dust of Qinchuan in the northwest has settled and there is nothing to do on the north bank of Weishui, but the southeast corner of Chang'an City is a battle of life and death, 25,000 troops are killing here, Yizhou Mu Chen Lin and Henan Yi Liu Bei's troops are slightly weaker, time passes little by little, and the crisis of the two is approaching little by little. At this time, Chen Lin proposed to draw elite soldiers to make a detour and go straight to Li Daoshuaiqi, and wanted to play the victory of the battle with a beheading strategy. At this time, more than 1,000 people had successfully surrounded from behind, and the remaining 900 people made a big bend and appeared behind Li Weishuaiqi.
Chen Lin and Zhou Cang Guan Yu looked coldly at Li Dao's banner three miles away, there were about 3,000 people around Li Dao at this time, cavalry, Chen Lin looked up at the east, the battle has been a whole night, the east has been white, if the intelligence is good, Li Dao seems to have 10,000 foot soldiers behind him, and they will arrive within this hour or two, if they can't turn the tide of the battle before this foot soldier appears, then the only way left for Chen Lin is to escape, there is no other possibility.
Chen Lin smiled at Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, it's an honor to be able to fight side by side with you again today." Guan Yu has always looked at the big Hanshi doctor who is not pleasing to the eye, but for some reason, he looked at Chen Lin differently, Guan Yu nodded arrogantly: "A group of local chickens and dogs, adults and look at the spear in Yun Chang's hand." Chen Lin smiled, turned around and shouted: "Everyone, victory or defeat in this battle, the former is honored bravely, and the retreating one is unforgiving, kill." After Chen Lin shouted, he shouted in his heart that it was a pity, if these 900 people were cavalry now, then there would be no suspense at all to take Li Dao, but unfortunately they are all foot soldiers now. It is precisely because of this that Chen Lin and other generals only shouted a few times on their horses, and did not rush out immediately, you must know that the horses are faster than others, if they rely on these three or four horses to directly rush at Li Daoshuaiqi, they should really be invulnerable.
Seeing the appearance of the foot soldiers, Li Dao was startled, how could there be enemy troops behind him, when Li Dao saw the banner erected by the soldiers, Li Dao smiled, and immediately understood what kind of trick Chen Lin was playing, but Li Dao knew that Chen Lin's troops were not many, no, only a thousand people rushed out, and he had three thousand, and he waved a thousand men and horses to rush out first in an attempt to disperse Chen Lin's sneak attack of soldiers and horses.
Chen Lin looked at it, turned around and said, "Yun Chang, it's our turn." "The general is the courage of the three armies and the soul of the three armies, at this time, Chen Lin and others will be able to greatly boost morale when they appear on the front line, Guan Yu nodded, counted the horses, shouted, and galloped out.
"Rush over and hit the handsome flag." Chen Lin shouted, the soldiers saw that Chen Lin was so heroic, and their morale was like a rainbow, don't say that Li Dao's thousand cavalry, the place is short, and they have already made contact with Chen Lin before they have time to let the cavalry run away, and they immediately suffered a lot of losses, and a thousand cavalry actually prepared Guan Yu, Zhou Cang and others to kill and retreat, which made Li Dao shocked. The shouting and killing sound here has already alarmed the black bears on the front line, and Li Dao's soldiers and horses, who are storming Chen Lin's military camp, can't help but look back, and when they look, they are all frightened. When the black bear saw it, he scolded, and ordered the three thousand men and horses to quickly turn around to save Li Dao without asking for instructions, and the three thousand men and horses retreated, giving Huang Yan a signal. Huang Yan was already ready at this time, and said to a soldier: "Go, tell Lord Liu, just say that the lord has succeeded, and our army will surprise the enemy from the front, take advantage of the victory to pursue, go." Jia Xu next to him nodded, and secretly said that this Huang Yan is a talent.
Huang Yan glanced at Jia Xu and the three of them, jumped on the horse, and said, "Three gentlemen, please get on the horse." Huang Yan immediately gathered a group of soldiers: "Your task is to protect the three gentlemen, escort the three gentlemen to break out of the encirclement and follow behind a certain person, if you get lost, go straight to the east, don't stay, until Tongguan." Nearly a hundred soldiers hurriedly responded, and Jia Xu was surprised: "Commander Huang, what about the lord?" Huang Yan: "Mr. Jia, don't worry, the eldest young master has Zhou Cang there, even if he returns from defeat and wants to escape, no one can stop him, the eldest young master is auspicious, there will be no problem." ”
"The enemy general is dead, rush." Huang Yan shouted, and more than 2,000 people rushed down the hill with the courage of moths to the fire, and directly attacked the six or seven thousand enemy troops under the mountain. The shouts of Huang Yan's army sounded, and Liu Bei got a message from the soldiers sent by Huang Yan, Liu Bei cursed, panicked and didn't have time to care about the others, so he rushed down the mountain with Sima Fang in his hand, and shouted at the same time: "Kill." ”
Li Wei re-estimated the hundreds of people who were impacting him in front of him, and he was going to send a thousand soldiers to step forward, when he suddenly heard the change in the sound of killing behind him, turned around and looked, he was furious, and saw that the black bear had retreated three thousand troops and came back, damn, do you need to be rescued? Seeing the remnants of Chen Lin and Liu Bei rushing down the mountain on the mountain, Li Dao scolded angrily: "Idiot, the enemy army is about to break through." How could the black bear among the thousands of soldiers and horses hear it, and continue to return to the army to Li Dao.
At this time, Chen Lin saw that Li Wei's 1,000 soldiers and horses were so difficult to break through, it seemed that today was indeed a little arrogant and a little taken for granted, and the shouts of Huang Yan's army also alarmed Chen Lin, Chen Lin was shocked, thinking that this was Jia Xu's ploy, and took the opportunity to break through. However, at this time, Jia Xu's side was still surrounded by thousands of troops, and it was not easy to rush out, Chen Lin shouted: "Kill, the enemy general is in front of you, and the reward for killing the enemy general is ten thousand gold." "There must be brave men under the heavy reward, the rest of the soldiers shouted and slammed Li Dao, Chen Lin wanted to attract more enemy troops in this way, at least he couldn't let Li Dao calmly surround Huang Yan and others.
How could Huang Yan not know the current situation, as long as he was not a fool, he knew that whether he could rush out quickly was directly related to whether Chen Lin would withdraw, Huang Yan knew Chen Lin, if the army on his side did not rush out, Chen Lin would definitely not give up himself and others to escape alone. Today's battle has been lost, completely defeated, the only thing that can be done now is to keep a few important people, as long as the generals are fine, then there is nothing to do, and they would rather exchange a thousand troops for the life of a general, this is absolute. Huang Yan kept attacking, and even called Duan Yu and Liu Zhao, and the three brave generals fought bravely to kill the enemy, taking the lead, and actually rushed out of a bloody road alive.
Huang Yan didn't know when there were a few more wounds on his body, but at this time he couldn't let him cry out for pain, Huang Yan looked back, there were four or five hundred people left, and there was a small group of soldiers desperately resisting a hundred steps away. Suddenly, Huang Yan shouted: "What about Mr. Jia, who saw Mr. Jia?" Jia Xu was gone, which scared Huang Yan into a cold sweat, and at first glance, none of the soldiers guarding Jia Xu were there. At this time, there was basically a fire left on the hill that Huang Yan had set out, and it was all Chen Lin's baggage. Not far away, Liu Bei led three or five hundred people to rush down, and the future was bleak, but Huang Yan only cared about Chen Lin and Jia Xu now.
Seeing Huang Yan stop, Wei Fang shouted: "Commander Huang, go out quickly, the enemy is about to surround you." At this time, Fa Zheng also shouted: "Send someone to find the lord, find the lord, ask the lord to retreat, hurry, hurry." ”
Huang Yan is an agitated spirit, yes, the eldest young master is not safe yet, Huang Yan glanced at the Xiliang soldiers who rushed up in chaos, as well as the crowds fighting everywhere, Mr. Jia, I'm sorry, Huang Yan should be the eldest young master.
"Go" roared, and more than 400 people rushed to flee, and at the same time, a group of soldiers led by Duan Yu went straight to Li Weishuaiqi, wanting to converge with Chen Lin and retreat.
"Lord, withdraw the army, Commander Huang and the others have come down and rushed out, and the lord will retreat quickly." Duan Yu shouted. Guan Yu shouted when he heard it: "What about a certain big brother?" Duan Yu: "It's out, it's all out, Lord Liu has gone east." ”
When Chen Lin heard this, he was overjoyed, and he didn't leave at this time.
Half an hour later, on the west side of the battlefield, just opposite to the east where Chen Lin and the others had fled, three soldiers dragged a scribe who had been wounded in the legs and feet and shouted, "Mr. Jia, where are you going?" Before Mr. Jia could speak, a group of fierce soldiers rushed out on foot.
The gentleman laughed: "I am your General Li's in-laws, take me to see your general." ”
