Chapter 419: The Battle by the River

The group ran to the west.

The defeated Xianbei people saw Kebineng and reported the encounter with LΓΌ Bu not long ago, and Kebineng immediately ordered all the cavalry to go in pursuit. Wan Qitong said: "Da Danyu, then Lu Bu only has more than 100 horses, why use so many soldiers and horses to chase, he Lu Bu has three heads and six arms, how big can he do!" At present, it is necessary to prevent Lu Bu from escaping southward through the gap, so Da Shan Yuyi dispatched soldiers to live in various southbound passages, and did not give Lu Bu a chance to take advantage of it. Then he dispatched elite soldiers to chase to the west, and sent scouts to search for clues of the fleeing Han army. Da Dan Yu does not have to overwork this matter, Da Dan Yu is better to sit in the rear and wait for the report, which can also prevent the Han army in the direction of Jinyang from making a desperate bet. ”

Ke Bineng felt that Wan Qiantong was reasonable, and immediately issued an order according to Wan Qiantong's Jianyi: divide 100,000 cavalry, divide into 20 teams to hold all the passages to the south, and order Tuoba Guangyao, He Liuhun, and Altay to lead 400,000 troops to the west to search for Zhang Lang, and the scouts he wanted to scatter in all directions to search for clues of the fleeing Han army, and he himself led an army of nearly 500,000 troops to wait for news at Yanmen Pass, which could also prevent the southern Han army from attacking desperately.

After the distribution was completed, all armies and units began to move, and Kebineng, surrounded by nearly 500,000 troops, marched to Yanmen Pass, which was more than ten miles to the southeast.

In the middle of the way, a herald horse galloped from the north. Ran to the Kebineng horse, reined in the war horse, hugged his fists and said urgently: "Da Shan Yu, Shan Yu is in the court." Then he took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

One of the personal guards cavalry beside Kebineng immediately went up, took the letter, and turned back to present it to Kebineng.

Kobi took the letter, opened it, and read it again.

Wan Qitong hurriedly asked, "Did Cao Jun defeat Erdan Yu?" ”

Kebineng shook his head, "Not really. The armies of the two sides were still in a stalemate, but Zhao Yun, the general under his command, led a group of more than 10,000 elite cavalry to bypass the frontal battlefield and suddenly appeared near Caishan Yuting. Fortunately, the military general who defended Shan Yuting was vigilant and found it in time, so he was not killed by the other party into Shan Yuting. Even so, Shan Yuting's surroundings also suffered heavy losses, a group of more than 5,000 cavalry was almost wiped out, and tens of thousands of Han people imprisoned in the southeast village of Shan Yuting were rescued by the other party! ”

Wan Qitong frowned; "Da Dan Yu, my subordinates are a little worried! Our most elite army is all here, and if there is a mistake over there, I am afraid that the results will be wasted in the blink of an eye! ”

Kebineng nodded thoughtfully.

……

Zhang Lang and his entourage, under the leadership of Wang Kai's half-father and daughter, galloped all the way to the west, and met with more than 1,000 scattered war horses on the way.

The sky was getting brighter. Zhang Lang and the others had been running for a night, and they were already sleepy and tired, and some cavalry could no longer keep up.

Seeing this, Zhang Lang turned his head to look at the dense mountain forest next to a small river in front of him, pointed over there and raised his voice: "Let's go there to rest and rest." More than 1,000 riders successively crossed the river and ran into the woods by the river to rest and rest. Some people lay down on the grass under the trees as soon as they got off their horses, feeling the pain of the whole province and not wanting to get up.

Some soldiers lit bonfires, sat around them, took out their dry rations and ate them, and some bandaged the wounds of wounded soldiers.

Zhang Lang stood up and walked towards the river outside the woods. When he came to the river, he lay down and took a few big sips of the river water with his hands. He looked up at the other side of the river. Across the river is an undulating hilly grassland, dotted with pine and camphor trees, and three or five elk running over the hillside.

Shout! The whistling of arrows suddenly came from across the river, and it was fired by the Han sentry in charge of the vigilance. Zhang Lang stood up. More than a thousand war horsemen in the woods rushed out, and Wang Yi rode a horse leading the red rabbit horse and carrying Zhang Lang's Fang Tianhua halberd to Zhang Lang's side, and called: "General." ”

Zhang Lang walked over quickly, turned over his horse, took Fang Tian's halberd, raised it high, and more than a thousand war horses immediately lined up a battle formation behind Zhang Lang, although there were only more than a thousand horsemen, and they were tired and hungry, but the momentum still made people dare not underestimate it. When Wang Kai and Wang Yi saw such a home scene, they admired it in their hearts.

After a while, I saw five or six thousand Xianbei warriors under the leadership of Altay appear on the other side of the river and form a battle formation.

Altay rode out of front of the army, saw Lu Bu on the opposite side, was pleasantly surprised, and said secretly: This great credit has finally fallen into my hands.

Altay shouted: "Lu Bu, quickly dismount and surrender!" Otherwise, you will die without a place to bury! ”

Zhang Lang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, raised his hard bow, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and pointed an arrow at Altay on the opposite bank. The bowstring sounded, and the arrow turned into a meteor. When Altay reacted, the arrows had already flown in front of him. Altay hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse in a panic, and the war horse man stood up, and almost at the same time, the arrow shot into the left eye of the war horse! The horse flipped backwards with a scream, throwing Altay off. The Xianbei soldiers were shocked.

Altay fell to the ground in terror, and at the same time became angry, shouting: "Assault of the whole army! Kill them all! ”

Five or six thousand horsemen shouted and rushed to the river. Zhang Lang's expression was grim, and he fired six arrows in a row, and the arrows killed a Xianbei officer. Xianbei people were frightened in their hearts, and their momentum was frustrated. Zhang Lang took the opportunity to lead his soldiers into the middle of the enemy. Everyone sacrificed their lives and forgot to kill their horses, roared and desperately waved the weapons in their hands, killing the Xianbei people so that they turned their horses on their backs, and the blood dyed the river red at once; Zhang Lang took the lead, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was like a death scythe as quickly harvesting the enemy's life, flying blood and screams, and the Xianbei people were cut off the horse one by one. The Xianbei people were taken by the momentum of the Han army, and they had no intention of fighting, so they retreated one after another, crowded and pushed each other, and the scene was chaotic.

Altay was shocked and angry when he saw the scene in front of him, and raised his bow and arrow to aim at Zhang Lang, who was killing in the crowd. Seeing this, the king shouted urgently: "General, be careful of cold arrows!" ”

Zhang Lang discovered Altay's scheme. Altay's fingers loosened, and when the bowstring vibrate, the sharp arrow turned into a black shadow and flew in. Zhang Lang waved Fang Tian's halberd block it.

Altay scolded angrily, and once again raised his bow and arrow, this time he aimed at Wang Yi, who was fighting with the Xianbei people in front of Zhang Lang's left, and Wang Yi did not find out his intentions. Seeing this, Zhang Lang shouted urgently: "Wang Yi be careful of cold arrows!" Wang Yi slashed the enemy in front of her, and looked at her blankly, she didn't find Altay. Seeing that Altay was about to launch an arrow, Zhang Lang was in a hurry, and hurriedly urged the horse to rush towards the king.

Altay's fingers loosened, and the arrows flew out. Zhang Lang ran to Wang Yi and pushed Wang Yi, who was still unknown, off the horse, and almost at the same time, the arrow nailed to Zhang Lang's left chest with a bang, and Zhang Lang snorted.
