Chapter 180: Revenge will be avenged
4,500 cavalry, under the guidance of the "Tiger Ben" cavalry led by Zhang Liao, easily broke through the blockade of the Black Mountain thieves and galloped towards Jinyang.
Zhang Liao's crotch "green lion" horse, Yunyue knife in his hand, a horse in the lead, after walking five or six miles, found that the trees on both sides of the road gradually increased, it was a good place for ambushes, and hurriedly reminded the team behind him loudly: "All cheer up, beware of ambushes!" ”
Sure enough, Zhang Liaoyan said, the team walked another five or six miles, a drum sounded, and an ambush was killed in the oblique stab, about five or six thousand people, it was Gongsun Fan and Shan Jing led the men and horses who fled from Yijing, and they were ordered by Gongsun Xu to ambush Yuan's army here.
With Zhang Liao's warning, the Yuan army that was suddenly attacked did not panic, and calmly lined up to meet the attack.
Although this ambush is not enough to block the impact of the "Tiger Cavalry", it is a regular army after all, and its combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the Black Mountain Thieves, although under the impact of the heavy armored cavalry, the corpses fell in pieces, and the defense line continued to shrink and retreat, but it was not like the Black Mountain Army that was about to collapse at the touch of a button, until the cavalry led by Gongsun continued to catch up, and it was still desperately blocking the path of Yuan's iron cavalry.
At the foot of Taihang Mountain, the sound of gold and iron resonating endlessly, people shouting and neighing, deafening, swords and swords everywhere, people's heads rolling, flesh and blood flying. After a meal, more than 800 corpses of ambush soldiers had been laid on the battlefield, and more than 100 cavalry of the Yuan army fell from their horses and were immediately dismembered by random knives.
"The whole army turned back and lined up to meet the enemy!"
Seeing the pursuers behind, he was very anxious. Wang Shuang, who had been dragging behind, and had not yet made meritorious contributions, loudly commanded the "White Feather Cavalry" to turn the horse's head and line up to meet the enemy. Since the formation of this team at the end of October last year, it has not made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and today is a good opportunity to make a difference!
A thousand white feather horsemen immediately lined up in the usual formation, and when Gongsun Xu's pursuers approached, Wang Shuang gave an order, and thousands of arrows were fired together, accompanied by the sound of bowstrings, thousands of "white feather arrows" fell towards the pursuers like a shower. The screams suddenly came and went. There are countless people who have fallen off the horse.
The usual range of bows and arrows is about eighty paces, so Gongsun continued to urge the troops to chase closely, but unexpectedly, at a distance of more than one hundred and twenty paces, the rain of arrows had suddenly arrived. Caught with one's pants down. He was shot in the arm by a carved arrow. Nearly fell off a horse.
A rain of arrows fell, and more than 300 people were shot down by Gongsun Xu's men and horses, and countless horses lay down. Everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death. In the face of the continuous rain of arrows, the confidence of the men and horses of the Gongsun army collapsed, and the cowardly turned their horses' heads and fled for their lives.
Seeing that the pursuers were shot in a mess, showing a trend of rout, Wang Shuangyi slapped the war horse under his hip, waved the "Tiger Roar" knife in his hand, and ordered: "The whole army will assault forward and shoot the enemy!" ”
The so-called "gallop shooting" is a kind of combat method of the white feather cavalry, which has been practiced many times in peacetime, and when the assault is carried out, the team gallops forward according to the formation, and shoots arrows while riding the horse, which can perfectly combine mobility and long-distance attack.
As a result, there was a dramatic change in the roles of the two sides, at the beginning, it was Gongsun Xu's cavalry who was in hot pursuit, and was repelled by a strong bow from the "White Feather Cavalry"; The Gongsun army, who was in hot pursuit, began to turn around and flee for his life, and the chased Yuan army in turn pursued Gongsun Xu's men and horses, this picture is really funny!
Different from Gongsun Xu's desperate pursuit, the "White Feather Rider" can attack from a distance without catching up with them, while chasing after the horse, while shooting the white feather arrow in his hand, the bowstring sounded, and many people fell off their horses in response, and after a period of chase, they shot down more than 200 Gongsun troops.
Wang Shuang's horse chased after him, and his ears were windy, and in a moment he caught up with Gongsun Xu, who was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and shouted loudly when the two horses were parallel: "Where is the traitor?" Don't hurry up and catch it! ”
Before the words fell, the ape's arm stretched, and he grabbed Gongsun Xu's belt at once, and with a "up" in his mouth, he suddenly lifted Gongsun Xu from his horse, put it horizontally in front of his saddle, reversed the big knife with his other hand, slapped it on Gongsun Xu's helmet with the back of the knife, and immediately fainted!
The lord was captured, Gongsun Xu's cavalry fled in a panic, the defeat was like a mountain, one by one panicked, Wang Shuang's column pursued two or three miles of road, and shot more than 200 horsemen before retreating.
After a confrontation, the "White Feather Cavalry" won the first battle, shooting and killing more than 800 pursuers, and only suffered less than 10 casualties in his own formation. So the hearts of the soldiers were shaken, and the soldiers were full of confidence one by one. In terms of the kung fu of galloping on the horse, if the white feather rider claims to be the second, who dares to boast of being the first in the world?
The pursuers behind were scattered and fled, and Gongsun Fan and the soldiers under Shan Jing, who were blocking the road, suddenly lost their morale. After losing morale, he was even more unable to resist, and was killed by the "Tiger Horseman" for a while, leaving more than 1,500 corpses, and fled in a hurry, looking for Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army.
After killing and repelling the Gongsun army, the Yuan army did not love to fight, and urged the horse to continue to hurry, and when he arrived at the city of Shangquyang in Jizhou, he set up camp.
After a while, Wang Shuang escorted Gongsun Xu to see Yuan Mai: "Report the assassination of Lord Shi, capture a general who pursues the army, see him under the banner of Gongsun, but I don't know who it is?" Please stab Shi Fa Luo! ”
Listening to Wang Shuang's title, Yuan Mai's heart was overjoyed, and in the blink of an eye, he had gone from an unknown person to the status of a thorn in history, and the road was really smooth, and it was nothing more than that!
"Oops...... Isn't this a major general? Before Yuan Mai could talk, Zhao Yun was already surprised.
Gongsun Xu raised his head and glanced at the people in front of him, and knew that the person in the middle who was dressed in a brocade robe and covered with silver armor was Yuan Shao's son Yuan Mai, and there were a group of generals around him, like stars holding the moon. Isn't the person who spoke just now the "traitor" Zhao Yun? Oh no, besides Zhao Yun and Tian Yu!
"Haha...... Zhao Yun, I really regret that I didn't kill you in the first place, you are really a traitor who betrays the lord for glory! Gongsun Xu knew that he would inevitably die, and scolded loudly.
Listening to Gongsun Xu's scolding, Zhao Yun was speechless, bowed his head and was silent.
Tian Yu retorted loudly: "The two of us are loyal, and we don't need to defend you villain." If you hadn't framed me and Zilong for betraying the master and putting the two of us in prison, maybe Yi Jing wouldn't have lost it so quickly! The two of us have been waiting in prison for the grievance of Zhaoxue, but in the end, what we are waiting for is the minions you sent to take the lives of the two of us, if it weren't for Yuan Gongzi's timely help, I am afraid that the two of us would no longer be in the world. Good birds choose trees to perch, loyal ministers choose the lord to serve, the two of us have been benevolent to your Gongsun family, there is no need to be foolish and loyal to your Gongsun family, from now on, we will serve the Yuan family! ”
"Shameless people, traitors seek glory!" Gongsun continued to scold, looking like he was eager to bite Tian Yu twice.
Seeing Zhao Yun's look of shame, Yuan Mai was worried that Gongsun Xu's words would affect his determination to serve him, so he hurriedly ordered: "Where is the sword and axe hand?" Push this guy down and behead it, don't let him slander the two generals Zhao and Tian here! ”
"No!"
The two fierce knife and axe men agreed, stepped forward and grabbed Gongsun Xu and dragged him to the outside of the tent, ready to pull outside the door and behead the public.
Gongsun Xu can be regarded as a bloody man, and he did not kneel on the ground to beg for mercy, and scolded loudly: "If you want to kill, you have to scrape, listen to the respect!" I am waiting for you under Jiuquan, I believe that it will not be long before the men, women and children of your Yuan family will have such a day, the men will be beheaded, and the women will be prostitutes! ”
Yuan Mai hadn't spoken yet, Lu Lingqi who was standing next to him was already furious, and she wasn't angry when Gongsun continued to scold the people of the Yuan family, but he scolded the men, women and children of the Yuan family, so wouldn't it be difficult for her to be spared as the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family?
"This guy has a really hateful mouth, give me a slap!" Lu Lingqi's eyes widened, she picked up an arrow from the table and threw it at the knife and axe hand, "Give me this and slap him in the mouth!" ”
only listened to a few crisp sounds of "pop pop", Gongsun Xu was pumped with blood all over his mouth, and four or five teeth fell out, and he still scolded non-stop, but with teeth and blood in his mouth, his words were slurred, and no one could hear what he was scolding!
Seeing Gongsun Xu being led out by the knife and axe, Zhao Yun couldn't bear it, and stood up and knelt down on one knee: "Lord Assassin Shi, please look at Zhao Yun's thin face, spare Gongsun Xu this time." When Gongsun Chan was alive, he treated me well, and I couldn't bear to see his son lose his head in front of me! ”
"Hey...... General Zilong, this guy has been insulting you, and you still plead for him? If we hadn't arrived in time, maybe you and Lord Tian Yu would have been killed by his minions and arrows, wouldn't this be a good treat for you? Without waiting for Yuan Mai to say anything, Lu Lingqi, who was huffing, reminded Zhao Yun loudly and asked him to think about how Gongsun Xu treated him.
Zhao Yun sighed: "I'd rather let the people of the Gongsun family bear me Zhao Yun, and I can't bear General Gongsun!" Zhao Yun pleaded with Lord Thorn Shi for the first time, and he hoped to be fulfilled! ”
Seeing Zhao Yun's sincere intercession for Gongsun, not like a coy gesture, Yuan Mai thought for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay, since my brother speaks, I will answer you!" ”
He waved his hand at the knife and axe man who had just walked to the door of the camp: "Forget it, loosen the tie and release the man, prepare a mount for him, and let him run for his life!" ”
After being loosened, instead of being grateful to Zhao Yun, Gongsun Xu spit out the blood and teeth in his mouth, and scolded hatefully: "Zhao Yun, don't think that your hypocrisy can cover up the fact that you are a traitor to seek glory, as long as my Gongsun Xu does not die, I will settle this account with you sooner or later!" ”
Lu Lingqi was furious again, and ordered the knife and axe hand to tie up Gongsun Xu again, but was persuaded by Zhao Yun bitterly. Yuan Mai coldly glared at Gongsun Xu, and scolded: "Get out, if it weren't for Zilong's intercession, I would have let your head be in a different place today, and if you take advantage of your tongue again, I will definitely behead you!" ”
Gongsun Xu turned his head and left, took the horse from the soldiers, turned over the horse, and left hatefully, but secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later he would take revenge! (To be continued......)
