Chapter 243: This temper in the first place
In the third year of Zhongping, May 1. The main force of the official army led by Qin Cao Yuan Liu and the main force of the Hun cavalry fought a decisive battle at the foot of Gaojinzhai Mountain.
On the side of the officers and soldiers, Yuan Shao in front of the big formation was restless and looked into the distance from time to time.
His left flank was the troops led by Qin Feng, and his right flank was the troops led by Cao Cao.
After a while, the shouting of killing finally came.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
I saw a lot of dust in the distance, and endless Hun cavalry pursued and the state soldiers came.
"Wow!"
"Ahh
"I hiccuped!" The soldiers of the state were invincible, and they kept retreating, but they were shot by the Huns.
The rise of the Huns killed, blew the whistle, pulled up the longbow, shot the feather arrows, and harvested the state soldiers.
In the undulating hilly terrain, the long snake formation of the Huns sometimes does not see the head, sometimes the waist cannot be seen, but it is continuous, like an undulating roller coaster.
A large number of soldiers were killed, but Yuan Shao was overjoyed, he was in front of the crossbow formation behind the infantry line, raised his broadsword, and shouted: "The whole army is ready, arrayed, and faced the enemy." ”
After a while, the state soldiers were defeated to the front of the battle. And Yuan Shao's infantry defense line cracked many small passages, which allowed the defeated troops to escape smoothly into the main formation.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao came to Yuan Shao's side.
Lu Bu's face was not good, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with this special defeat mission.
But Zhang Liao said: "General Yuan, we have completed the task of luring the enemy. ”
Yuan Shao was very satisfied, and said: "When the Huns are destroyed, I will ask for credit for you." With that, he couldn't wait to look ahead.
I saw that with the last defeated army entering the big array, the figure of the Huns appeared.
"Prepare to release the arrows." Yuan Shao shouted.
There was a loud noise, which came from the uniform movement of thousands of crossbowmen behind the infantry line.
Looking down from the sky, the cavalry units of the Huns pulled up waves of earth and rushed to the infantry defense line of the official army. Before the person arrives, the air wave arrives first. The officers and infantry who were blown by the strong wind could not open their eyes.
Suddenly, the earth-shattering sound of bowstrings came to mind, and with a piercing whistling, a large black mass was there. flew out of the official formation. In the blink of an eye, it covered the sky and smashed into the arriving Hun cavalry cluster.
Crackling, popping, popping, dense arrows, like the honeycomb rocket launcher of later generations. The powerful firepower immediately covered the front of the positions of the officers and troops and continued to extend out.
Under the cover of such firepower, the shrouded Hun cavalry, no matter who it was, were tied into hedgehogs with men and horses.
For a while, the screams of people and the sorrowful screams of war horses splashed blood flowers when they fell to the ground.
Just a round. The 5,000 arrows of the official army took the lives of more than 1,000 Huns, and the Huns' assault on the official defense line was suffocated.
Yuan Shao was very complacent, laughed, and said to Lu Bu Zhang Liao beside him: "Before the enemy arrives in front of the battle, half of them will die first!" ”
"The infantry line is ready to face the enemy!"
The infantry at the front of the line of defense held their shields on their shoulders and waited for the moment of the enemy's cavalry charge. Many were so frightened that their heads were shrunk in their shields.
However, with a distinctive sound of horns sounded in the rear of the Hun cavalry. The Hun cavalry turned around. Begin to get out of the battlefield.
Officers and soldiers on the side.
"Hey~." Yuan Shao, who was about to order the second wave of arrow rain, saw the Huns retreating, his shoulders shook in shock, and the feeling of hitting the empty space with all his strength came to his heart. He was taken aback. said to Lu Bu: "Why did the Huns run away? ”
Lu Bu snorted coldly, "You are the boss, you ask me?" ”
In just two sentences, all the Huns at the front of the official and military front ran out. It can be seen with the naked eye that tens of thousands of Huns who are about to arrive in the distance suddenly turned into a soft "giant python". After making a sharp turn in the undulating terrain, the head of the snake was soon parallel to the tail of the snake, and it was about to leave the place.
"I'll go to you!" Yuan Shao scolded.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were stunned, "I'm going to go to the column?" What kind of military order is this? ”
Yuan Shao didn't have time to explain to them what it meant, anyway, he learned a lot of new terms from Qin Feng. He had thought that the Huns would try to break through his defenses, and he had thought of a lot of countermeasures.
However, Yuan Shao never expected that the Huns would suddenly retreat when they entered. The speed of the retreat caught everyone off guard.
Yuan Shao looked at the Huns who were about to go away, his heart was pounding, and he immediately passed down the order, "Hurry, the whole army pursues and pursues, and the Huns can't be allowed to escape!" Summoned General Qin and General Cao to jointly pursue. Tell the order to cut off the enemy's retreat immediately! ”
"Go!!" Yuan Shao finally opened his bloody mouth and roared, and several heralds beside him, like frightened rabbits, rode their horses and ran out.
"Charge! Charge! Yuan Shao shouted again, and the infantry at the front began to charge.
Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and other generals took the lead.
After a while, I saw that the troops on the left and right flanks also moved.
After a while, Qin Feng and Cao Cao looked at Shuai Qi from afar, and rode their horses to Yuan Shao's side.
Yuan Shao saw Qin Feng coming, and shouted: "Zijin, hurry, chase quickly, send your trap camp, you can't just let the Huns run away." ”
Qin Feng was very excited when he saw Yuan Shao, and hurriedly said, "Brother Benchu, calm down, calm down." ”
However, Yuan Shao designed for several days, and seeing that the Huns were in the trap, and suddenly took off the trap again, he couldn't calm down. Although he lowered the speed of his horse and talked to Qin Feng, he ordered his troops to speed up and chase after the Huns.
After another while, Liu Bei came here.
Yuan Shao immediately asked: "There are many ringworms, have you cut off the enemy's retreat?" ”
Liu Bei led 3,000 cavalry, and his special task was to cut off the retreat of the Huns, so he was lurking before. He was very ashamed and said, "The enemy's retreat was too sudden to be launched immediately. ”
Yuan Shao was very disappointed, but the enemy did retreat too suddenly, and he did not blame Liu Bei.
Qin Feng's military advisor Xun Yu, looking at his own army that was constantly chasing away, suddenly had an ominous premonition, and said: "Lord, the Huns found that our army had laid down a large array of bows and crossbows, but they did not make any tactical changes, and suddenly retreated, there must be a conspiracy here." ”
Not only Qin Feng, but also Cao Yuan, Liu and others also heard Xun Yu's words.
Qin Feng thought so deeply and said, "Brother Benchu, this must be a conspiracy!" ”
"Conspiracy?"
Herod~. Yuan Shao was startled and hurriedly stopped his horse.
When Qin Feng and the others stopped, they surrounded Yuan Dashuai.
Liu Bei in the west fanned his ears and said, "How can it be a conspiracy?" It is precisely because of our Yuan Dashuai's proper strategy. Therefore, Qiangqu, the king of the Xiongnu, thought that he could not win, and if he could not win, of course he would retreat. He said to Yuan Shao: "Marshal, you can't give up this opportunity to hunt down the enemy." In one go, destroy the Huns, just today! ”
Yuan Shao frowned. Noncommittal, he looked at Cao Cao in the north. Cao Cao pouted, his face darkened, and said, "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, it's better not to chase it." ”
Yuan Shao's head suddenly became big, and he looked at Ding Yuan in the south.
Ding Yuan touched his beard and said with a contemplative look: "The Huns are very cunning, it is rare for us to gain the upper hand this time, if we don't take the opportunity to strangle." If the Huns retreated, the steppe was vast. I really don't know when the next opportunity will appear. ”
Qin Feng, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Ding Yuan surrounded Yuan Shao on all sides. Qin Feng in the east and Cao Cao in the north believed that the sudden retreat of the Huns was a conspiracy and that the pursuit should be stopped. And Liu Bei in the west and Ding Yuan in the south said that it was a rare opportunity, and if they didn't chase it, they would be blind.
2 to 2, Yuan Shao's scheming temper appeared, and his head immediately became as big as a fight.
"Conspiracy! Brother Benchu, you can't chase it! Qin Feng and Cao Cao kept saying.
"This is the best time to destroy the Huns, Marshal. Let's chase! Ding Yuan and Liu Bei kept saying.
The four of them kept talking around Yuan Shao, and kept talking, and Yuan Shao felt dizzy.
Liu Beixin said why he always listened to Qin Zijin, this was obviously an excellent opportunity. Thereupon. In the shouts of the battlefield all around, Liu Bei exerted his strength to eat milk and exclaimed: "Meritorious service, handsome, Wei Qinghuo is sick, handsome~!" "The last big handsome, the little tongue dangling in the throat.
"Make a difference! Wei Qinghuo is sick! Yuan Shao heard these words. Immediately sobered up and shouted: "Pass my order, the whole army pursues at full speed, don't stop, don't stop!" ”
"Yuan Benchu!" With a loud shout, Yuan Shao was startled, turned his head to look, and saw Qin Feng with a black face, and Cao Cao with an even darker face.
Qin Feng looked at Yuan Shao and hated that iron could not become steel. The heart said Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, after you play your northern four states in the next life, you don't care about that, you want to pit the master here, and there is no door. He said coldly: "Brother Benchu, if you can't chase it, if you chase it, you will lose!" ”
Cao Cao's face darkened, and he nodded with a little chicken eating rice.
Yuan Shao began to hesitate.
At this time, a strange voice suddenly came, "Since General Qin and General Cao are unwilling to make meritorious contributions, let them lead their troops and horses to clean up the battlefield." ”
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Liu Bei who spoke.
Yuan Shao suddenly had an idea, and he said: "Since Zijin is a virtuous brother, Meng Dexian's younger brother is unwilling to chase, so he is in the rear army and cleans the battlefield, what is it?" ”
Qin Feng and Cao Cao glanced at each other and bowed to Yuan Shao together.
Yuan Shao had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and immediately slapped the horse's buttocks and ran out of the smoke. Ding Yuan also raised the whip on a prancing horse, so Lu Bu and Zhang Liao also followed.
Before Liu Bei left, he hugged his fists and saluted, and said very regretfully: "Why did the two generals miss the best opportunity to make such a meritorious service?" ”
"Made......." When Cao Cao stared at him with a dark face, Liu Bei, who was frightened, hurriedly slipped away. Cao Cao turned his head and said to Qin Feng: "Zijin, is it really a conspiracy?" ”
Qin Fengxin said that one of the necessary qualities of being a lord is to be able to identify and select words. If you don't listen to the words of a Niu military master like Xun Yu, who will listen? Moreover, he also felt that the sudden retreat of the Huns was really incredible, so he said: "Since the Huns have come to fight a decisive battle, our army has laid out a large array, at least, the Huns should also rush and try to attack, right?" ”
"I ran away for some reason, and things are abnormal and are demons." Qin Feng finally said.
Cao Cao is a hero who can identify and choose Jinyan, and nodded when he heard this.
At this moment, Xun Yu was a little anxious, and said: "Lord, you can't let General Yuan pursue, you will be defeated if you chase ......." ”
Qin Feng spread his hands and said, "Wen Ruo, you also saw it just now, Brother Meng De and I have been persuading General Yuan. ”
Cao Cao's face darkened, and he also said: "Yuan Benchu is that virtuous, he spares his life when he does big things, and forgets his life when he sees Xiaoli." Let him chase it, if he suffers a loss, he will be honest. ”
On the one hand, Qin Feng ordered his troops to regroup, and on the other hand, he said to the anxious Xun Yu: "Military Division, Yuan Benchu is the commander, since he has made a decision, we have no choice." ”
Cao Cao also ordered his men to assemble.
In a few days, more than 10,000 people gathered together.
Cao Cao suddenly said: "Brother Zijin, Yuan Benchu won't win, right?" ”
"Who knows about this ......?" (To be continued.) )
