Chapter 30: Battle
After thinking about it for a long time, Brother Xiao Ma couldn't come up with a credible reason, and the soldier surnamed Suo came to cover up the water. A group of people walked and chatted, but also had fun, the two armies marched in parallel, and chased straight to the white horse copper rebels ten miles away, the distance was getting closer and closer, about fifty miles later, the rebels' banners were faintly visible.
Both armies were tired divisions, especially the armies of Baima Tong and Ding Yuan, who fought hard in Bingzhou, not to mention, and traveled long distances night and night, and both men and horses were already tired.
In contrast, the Xiliang army was much better, and after several short rests, both men and horses had recovered a lot of physical strength. In addition, the war horses of the Xiliang Army are all carefully selected horses, so at this moment, the marching speed of the Xiliang Army has exceeded that of the Bingzhou Army, and the distance between it and the rebels is less than five miles.
Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Bai Ma Tong became more and more anxious, and discussed with several old subordinates and decided to fight to the death with the Han army. The strength of the two sides is about the same, and they are both tired divisions, rather than not being able to escape, it is better to fight to the death, maybe there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Having made up his mind, Bai Ma Tong ordered the whole army to stop advancing, line up to meet the enemy, change the rear army to the front army, and the front army to the rear army, nearly 10,000 cavalry opened the formation, and only waited for the Han army to attack as soon as it approached.
Chasing at the front, Wang Shuang and Meng Da did not advance when they saw the White Horse Copper Halting Army, but waited for the arrival of Brother Xiao Ma and the Bingzhou Army.
After a while, the three brothers of the Bingzhou Army and Ma Chao, who were five miles behind, finally caught up. Seeing this situation, Brother Xiao Ma couldn't help but say: "Uncle Ding, it seems that Baima Tong is going to break the cauldron and fight against the water, although our Han army has a slightly larger number, if it charges directly, it will be met with stubborn resistance, even if it can win, it will kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred!" ”
Ding Yuan nodded, and said: "What the virtuous nephew said is very reasonable, but Bai Ma Tong has a reputation for martial arts, and he will also use soldiers, if he is allowed to escape to Wuhuan, he will definitely make a comeback in the future, and then Merge Zhou, Liangzhou and even Youzhou may be violated by him, so no matter what, he must get rid of Bai Ma Tong in one go." ”
Brother Xiao Ma nodded and said: "The white horse copper must be removed, otherwise, wouldn't the merits of the two armies of Liang be discounted?" However, the art of war: a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also; A soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good man who is good! The little nephew has a plan, but he can talk and laugh and make the 10,000 army of White Horse Copper disintegrate! ”
Ding Yuan was overjoyed and asked urgently: "What is the plan of the virtuous nephew, tell me quickly!" ”
Brother Xiao Ma said confidently: "The so-called mourning soldiers will win, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" At this moment, the White Horse Copper Department is a mourning soldier, our Han army chased out of nearly a hundred miles, although the morale is high, but the body is tired, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an arrogant soldier. Therefore, it only needs to be exchanged, our army first showed weakness, so that the white horse copper department from the mourning soldiers to the proud soldiers, and then give a head blow, and finally by the Su Bu Gu Shan came forward to say surrender, which will definitely make most of the Huns give up resistance, so that they can win a battle! ”
Ding Yuan was overjoyed, stroked his palms and smiled: "The virtuous nephew is really familiar with the art of war, this plan is wonderful!" Zhang Liao behind him also nodded in praise again and again, without the slightest hint of contempt in his eyes.
Lu Bu didn't think so, and sneered: "Why bother so much! The Huns have long been demoralized, on the other hand, our army has high morale, and the general only needs to lead 5,000 wolf horsemen to disperse the Hun army in one fell swoop and let it rout and flee! Taking the bronze head of the white horse is also like probing the bag and taking the ear! ”
Ding Yuan heard this: "Wu'er's words are also reasonable, but this move is too risky, if you can't win quickly and let it rout, you will definitely fall into a fierce battle between the two armies, as Meng Qi said, it is a victory and a miserable victory!"
Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly took two steps forward, clenched his fists and said, "Father-in-law!" The last general is going to fight! Bu Yuan took 5,000 cavalry to take the White Horse Copper Army, and when the last general dispersed the Xiongnu army, the righteous father only needed to lead the team with Meng Qi and Wen Yuan to cover the kill, and he would definitely be able to annihilate the main force of White Horse Copper in one fell swoop! ”
"This" Ding Yuan couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard this, because Lu Bu had been invincible and invincible since his debut, and he had never disappointed him, he firmly believed that this time was the same, but he didn't agree immediately because he was afraid of Brother Xiaoma's face!
Brother Xiao Ma frowned secretly, this Lu Bu is really a typical representative of courage and resourcelessness, if you and the state army want to fight, you can go, dying in the hands of the Huns is cheaper than in the future Dong Fatzi is stronger, Lao Tzu's Shenwei Battalion can not be accompanied, thinking of this, he hugged his fists and said: "The little nephew is all under the command of Uncle Ding, if General Lu insists on rushing into battle, it is okay, and he can lead the Xiliang Army to cover up and kill the right side of Baima Copper later!" Fully cooperate with the state army! ”
Ding Yuan saw that Brother Xiao Ma had expressed his position, and he was also overjoyed: "This is very good, Feng Xianwu'er immediately led 5,000 cavalry to fight, and it is necessary to divide the White Horse Copper Rebels into two in one fell swoop, so that they can't take care of each other, I and Wen Yuan cover the left, and Meng Qi leads the Xiliang army to cover the right!" You need to fight quickly, and you must capture the white horse bronze! ”
"The last general obeys!"
Lu Bu was overjoyed, glanced at Brother Xiao Ma provocatively, and then turned around to mobilize the military horses and prepare for battle.
Ding Yuan sneered: "Virtuous nephew is not strange, Feng Xianwu is brave and brave, and he is eager to fight, this time he will definitely be able to disperse the Hun army in one fell swoop, and when the enemy's morale collapses and the whole army flees, it is our opportunity to kill the white horse copper!" ”
Brother Xiao Ma shook his head secretly, hugged his fists and said: "What Uncle Ding said is very true, the little nephew will go back and prepare to charge, if he can kill the white horse copper this time, all the credit will go to the state army!" ”
Ding Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, but he said: "How can this be made, it must not be!" ”
Brother Xiao Ma said: "The Bingzhou army chased the enemy for nearly a thousand miles, exterminated countless rebels along the way, and the Bingzhou army was the main force in this battle, and the little nephew was just a supporting role, how could I not do it?" With that, he took Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Xu Bu Gu back to the Shenwei camp.
However, it was said that Lu Bu ordered all the military horses in a moment, Ding Yuan Zhang Liao led 5,000 cavalry to the left, Xiao Ma Ge's Shenwei battalion to the right, and the 15,000 army slowly marched towards the Baima Copper rebels.
Seeing the Han army slowly approaching, Bai Ma Tong couldn't help frowning, especially for Brother Xiaoma's Shenwei Battalion, he was even more jealous, and shouted after a little contemplation: "The whole army charges, don't pay attention to the shameless Xiliang Army, as long as it can hand over with the Bingzhou Army, the Xiliang Army will not dare to release arrows without scruples!" With that, more than 10,000 Hun cavalry rushed straight towards Lu Bu's 5,000 Bingzhou army.
Lu Bu also shouted: "It's a good time! Today, a certain family will let you have no return! Soldiers, charge with the general! Kill! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
I have to say that the morale of the Bingzhou army is indeed high, and under the leadership of Lu Bu, a fierce general, it directly met 10,000 Hun cavalry. The two armies intersected, and the two sides were suddenly killed in one place, and the war in the era of cold weapons was extremely cruel, not to mention that the swords and swords were almost the same, only the flesh and blood were killed, the stumps and broken arms were piled up, and the screams were endless.
Lu Bu is a horse current, where he passed was like a meat grinder, the power of the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was incomparable, every swing had the Huns killed, the whole person was like the blade of a sharp knife, and he cut through the Hun 10,000 cavalry to divide it into two halves, and he himself took hundreds of horsemen through the Hun cavalry to the white horse copper killing that commanded the battle behind.
Ding Yuan also seized the fighter plane in time, waved his knife and shouted: "The whole army is attacking, and you must not run away from Baima Copper!" With the order, Zhang Liao shouted, picked up the big knife and rushed to the left side of Baima Tong with the remaining 5,000 state troops.
Brother Xiao Ma saw it sincerely, and secretly sighed that he was brave and brave at the same time, but he couldn't help but regret that although he could win this time, he would definitely lose a lot of elite soldiers, but he couldn't help but send troops in front of him, otherwise he would delay the fighter, and pondered slightly: "Wang Shuang, Meng Da, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie listened to the order, the whole army attacked, quickly surrounded the right side of Baima Copper, and let the soldiers chant in the name of the Hun Shan Yu, only punish the evil!" Those who lay down their arms and surrender will be spared death, otherwise they will be punished by the nine clans! ”
"Order!"
The four of them shouted in unison, and after a simple arrangement, they led the cavalry of their headquarters to kill the right side of Baima Tong, and shouted at the same time: "The Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Xubu Bone King has an order: only punish the evil White Horse Copper!" The rest will lay down their arms and surrender to be exonerated and stubbornly resist the Nine Clans! ”
Before the people rushed to arrive, the roar of hundreds of soldiers was transmitted first, and Xiao Ma Ge and Xu Bu Gu also followed closely, and the rather conspicuous Hun King flag fluttered in the wind.
However, it was said that the Xiongnu army on the right had long been frightened by the shameless tactics of the Xiliang army, and when they saw more than 5,000 horsemen approaching, they were afraid that they would become a living target again, and rushed towards Lu Bu's Bingzhou army. Even if you can't rush over for a while, you can still fight with the Bingzhou army, and the two armies will fight together, and the Xiliang army will not dare to let go of the arrows!
In this way, there was a strange scene, wherever the Xiliang army went, the Hun cavalry avoided the battle, but rushed towards Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's merge state army, as if the merge state army was a soft persimmon. The surrender of the Xiliang army did not have the desired effect, and only a few dozen wounded Huns chose to dismount and surrender with the attitude of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
This situation was beyond everyone's expectations, and Brother Xiao Ma was also dumbfounded, and immediately understood the trick, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Huns have long been frightened by my Shenwei battalion, and the order will go down, and the whole army will prepare bows and arrows to approach to the left, and continue to persuade the surrender while supporting the state army!" No arrows shall be released without an order"
The 5,000 Shenwei battalion slowly rushed to the left, and in a moment, the right side of the white horse copper was semi-surrounded, and thousands of people shouted: "Shenwei is invincible, and those who descend will not be killed!" ”
"Kamui is invincible! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
The half-surrounded Xiongnu on the right had only two choices, one was to rush up and kill the Shenwei battalion, and the other was ashamed; The second is to quickly kill and retreat Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, and join the men and horses fighting with Zhang Liao's troops on the left.
The right army of the Huns, who are no longer superior in numbers, is naturally not a fool, and it is obviously not feasible to storm the Shenwei battalion, these 5,000 people only need one person and one arrow to make them lose most of them, and even if the rest can rush over and engage with them in short arms, they are only beaten by others. At present, they can only attack Lu Bu's vanguard to the left, but although these 5,000 wolf cavalry in Bingzhou have suffered heavy losses, the main force is still there, and all of them are fierce soldiers, not afraid of death, and they are by no means soft persimmons to be pinched.
