~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was late at night, and although he had fought all night and was physically and mentally exhausted, as the main general and deputy general, Cheng Pu, Song Qian, and Chen Wu were not sleepy. This kind of situation of extreme physical fatigue but high mental excitement is the norm for the three generals of Jiangdong, and as a military general, he has already realized this.
How to resolve this emotion, the three will have their own methods.
Song Qian was Sun Ce's confidant general who followed him when he started his army, and he was in the prime of life and full of energy. He returned to his military tent and quietly handed over a pot of wine. Song Qian quickly took it and checked it, well, half a catty, no more, no less, just enough to smoke slightly without getting drunk, just to relieve fatigue without getting really drunk.
When Song Qian was secretly drinking, Chen Wuzheng led several servants to patrol the camp.
Although he was also a general in Sun Ce's era, Chen Wu joined the army late and was not as good as Song Qian, and he was also very young at this time, only in his twenties. Just like the young people who joined the company late in later generations, they are conscientious and conscientious, and they will work hard for tomorrow. Although he was physically exhausted, he still insisted on patrolling the whole battalion. Don't try to be the best, at least do it.
Compared with the two young people, Cheng Pu is old enough in terms of age and qualifications. In fact, in the entire Jiangdong Army, there is only one Huang Gai who can compare with him, and Han Dang, who died in battle not long ago. Cheng Pu had experience in this kind of thing, so he asked Hu Cong to light six or seven candles, then brought a large number of military newspapers and maps, and finally put a bowl of mutton bone soup on the table. Then ponder while drinking, watching, and pondering.
Moon, hazy; Night, quiet.
At this moment, a veteran is almost crouching on the map on the desk, and there are military newspapers scattered around him; A titan lay on his back in the tent, sipping a small sip of wine, looking satisfied; A young general, led five or six followers, patrolled from the east to the south. Then to the west, and finally to the north.
The next moment, the thunderous sound of iron hooves broke all this.
Cheng Pu looked up in shock.
Song Qian's wine jug was shocked.
Chen Wu's body froze.
Rumble! The wooden fence toppled and the smoke steamed. The iron stream is rushing in like a tide.
Zang Ba took the lead, broke the camp and entered, taking advantage of the horse's momentum. With a swing of the broadsword, a stunned patrolman behind the barracks was cut in two. At this time, the Jiangdong soldiers rushed out of the camp one by one, barefoot, disheveled. Fortunately, there are still weapons in hand.
In fact, the Jiangdong Army was mentally prepared for an enemy attack, but they did not expect two things: First, they did not expect the attack to come from the north, and their attention was all on the southeast water. Second, I didn't expect that there were so many cavalry, and the camp was attacked so quickly.
There are very few cavalry in the Jiangdong Army, and having cavalry means that the combat power is strong. In Sun Ce's era, the best reward for military merit was to allocate as many cavalry as a certain general would be. Taking Cheng Pu as an example, he had 200 cavalry, which was the largest number of cavalry among the generals in the entire Jiangdong Army. And Song Qian's cavalry is less than a hundred, and Chen Wu's is only one team.
The officers and men of the Jiangdong Army have fought in Jiangdong, Huainan, and Jiangbei for a long time, and have never crossed the Huaishui, and lack experience in dealing with cavalry, especially cavalry raids. In fact, as soon as the iron cavalry rushed to the state, the Jiangdong Army patrol found out, but it was too late to warn, and there was no way to stop it, so he was stunned and watched the flying horse lasso and pulled down the camp fence.
As soon as the camp gate fell, the iron cavalry of Bingzhou swarmed in, and the entire breakthrough process was less than a meal, so that many Jiangdong soldiers could not react, let alone form a counterattack.
Zang Ba broke in from the north, and Chen Wuqi inspected Beiying at this time.
Although the enemy rode and I was outnumbered, the duty of the general made Chen Wu resolute, drew his sword out of the sheath, led several subordinates, shouted and shouted, and intercepted and killed head-on.
Seeing a black horse in Xuanjia, hunting like the wind, everywhere he passed, the soldiers all fell to the ground with blood.
Chen Wu snapped, and a shield behind him hurriedly stopped his footsteps, half-squatting to raise the shield. Chen Wu didn't stop, stepped on the shield with one foot, jumped up, and slashed with a knife.
Zang Ba slashed and killed all the way, venting his anger, which was really unhappy. Unexpectedly, he was killed by a head-on volley, and he was caught off guard, so he only had time to bow his head violently - dang! The iron shackle was slashed by a knife, his head buzzed, and his body shook, and if it wasn't for the stirrup, he would have to get off the horse.
Chen Wu slammed his sword into the air, his body rolled, and he slammed into the rider behind Zang Ba with his shoulder. The rider was caught off guard, was knocked off the horse alive, and without even shouting a scream, he was trampled into flesh by countless iron hooves......
Chen Wu narrowly grabbed the saddle bridle so that he would not fall off the horse, but he had just sat down, and the blade was cold in front of him, and he roared angrily. But it was Zang Ba who turned around and waved his knife, and cut off his head and brain.
Chen Wu is just a ring-headed knife in his hand, no more than five feet long, how can he compete with Zhangyu's long-handled broadsword? While swinging the knife to block, he walked sideways with the horse. The iron horses around him were surging like a tide, but because of Zang Ba's pursuit, no one made a move against him.
Zang Ba is bent on finding Song Qian and Chen Wu, and wants to take the heads of these two generals and avenge his brothers. But he did not know the two, so that the enemies did not know each other. If Chen Wu hadn't cut off his helmet and knocked down the congrider, causing him to die a tragic death, Zang Ba would not have chased and slashed him fiercely.
But what Zang Ba didn't expect was that this person was so difficult that he could block more than a dozen hits in a row, and even fight back with a cold shot, which was quite tenacious.
The two of you come and go, galloping back and forth in the firelight, fighting a few times, regardless of victory or defeat.
At this time, more than ten horsemen poured into the gap in the camp gate, led by Zhang Liao, his eyes flashed, and he saw that Zang Ba was fighting with an enemy general, and immediately slapped his horse forward, and said loudly: "Xuan Gao, it is important to rush to the camp, and you can't fight." β
Zang Ba had already shown his temperament, and shouted repeatedly: "Wait for me to kill this thief and then rush to the camp." Look at the knives! Look at the knives! Look at the knives! β
When the two horses were in the stirrup, Zang Ba quickly swung three knives, and every time Chen Wu blocked it, his arm was numb for one point, and after the three knives were blocked, his forehead was sweating profusely. Weapons are not handy. The war horse is not familiar, and if you continue to fight, you will definitely lose.
Seeing that he could not kill the enemy's main general, thus disrupting the enemy's army, Chen Wu immediately slapped his horse and leftβbut in his hurry, he galloped past more than ten paces away from Zhang Liao.
Chen Wu made a big mistake, he shouldn't have run in front of a cheetah, no one could outrun a cheetah, and no one dared to turn his back on Zhang Liao. Chen Wu did this, and the result was ......
Cha! The cold wind and the body. Chen Wu looked back at the horizontal knife in shock.
While! The knife broke and the blood appeared, and Chen Wu fell from his horse.
"Let's go!" Zhang Liao raised his long knife and galloped away, as if he had fallen just a nobody.
Zang Ba sincerely admired: "Wen Yuan is a good means! "Shoot the horse closely.
Chen Wu struggled to stand up, half-kneeling to support the ground with a broken knife, pressing his hand under his ribs, his lips had been bitten, and he stared at the back of the second general. Countless shadows passed by on both sides, and no one looked at him. No one made up for it. It wasn't until the last ride disappeared that Chen Wu slowly threw himself forward......
The sky was red and clear, for the whole camp had been turned into a sea of fire. In the raging fire, countless Jiangdong soldiers were like ants on a hot pot. Scurrying around. Although they were superior in numbers, in the face of surprise attacks, they could not give full play to their advantages and gathered every time. It was scattered by the roar of the iron knight who rushed out of the oblique stab. Unorganized scattered sand, no matter how many people there are, it is useless, and the Jiangdong Army finally tasted the sorrow of the Langya Army last night. It's even more sadding. As more and more captured Langya troops were rescued, more and more enemies joined them in pursuit, and the numerical advantage was gradually lost......
In the event of a total collapse, only one army could still carry out an organized counterattack - Cheng Pu's 200 cavalry.
The sky-high firelight is like the background, and the two cavalry are in the light of the fire, the swords and soldiers are in harmony, blood and sweat are flying together, and the people are roaring and neighing, and they are rushing to kill each other.
These two cavalry, one is the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, and the other is Cheng Pu's Servant Cavalry.
Cheng Pu is a native of Youzhou, skilled in archers and horses, and in terms of training and defending cavalry, he is still one of the more promising ones in the Jiangdong Army. Even so, he still couldn't compete with Zhang Liao's iron horse. The reason is very simple, the iron cavalry that counterattacked was not the kind of cargo cavalry of the Jingzhou Army or the Jiangxia Army, but the first-class iron cavalry of the Han Army.
At that time, the Han Dynasty rode strongly, and there were only a few strands that could be counted: one was the dragon and wolf horseman, the other was the Xiliang Xiao horse, the other was the Bingzhou Iron Horse, and the other was the Youzhou Karasuma Famous Horseman. There are only a few of them, which can be regarded as first-class cavalry. The others are all second- and third-rate goods that can't be put on the table. The cavalry of the Jiangdong Army is stronger than the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangxia Army, and is of the same grade as the Hebei and Yan cavalry.
Second-rate and first-class head-to-head, what is that feeling, well, it's similar to the national football team and the European football team.
In the tragic battle, Cheng Pu watched the riders around him fall one by one, and even he himself was injured in many places, and he was overwhelmed with grief and indignation.
At this critical moment, a flash of fire and a cavalry rushed out. Cheng Pu roared and waved his knife, and the rider on the opposite side shouted: "Cheng Gong, it's me." β
Cheng Pu looked at it, and it turned out to be Song Qian.
"Cheng Gong retreats quickly, leave it to me here."
Cheng Pu was furious: "At the moment of the great enemy, how can there be a reason to retreat? β
Song Qian said anxiously: "Cheng Gong is the commander of the army, you must not be the enemy in battle, if there is a mistake, the army's heart will collapse......"
"Isn't this situation a collapse now?" Cheng Pu sighed bitterly and was about to say something. Suddenly, a stray arrow flew in, right in the shoulder, Cheng Pu screamed, and was about to fall, but fortunately he was supported by the left and right - this time, he couldn't retreat.
The fire was raging, as if the sky was burning red, and before the red flame, it was the last counterattack force of the Jiangdong Army.
Song Qian raised his spear and slammed it, and behind him were the remaining dozens of horsemen, and each knight had a death will written on his face. They are Cheng Pu's slaves, and each of them has followed Cheng Pu for more than five years. They fought so hard not for the glory of the Jiangdong Army, nor for Sun Quan, but for the Lord Cheng Puneng to get out safely.
On the opposite side of them was the reorganized team of more than 100 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, this strong cavalry lined up into a sharp arrow formation with a sharp front and a rich back, and the sharpest point of the sharp arrow was Zhang Liao who was a horizontal sword prancing horse.
Without any superfluous words, the two lords raised their swords and spears at the same time, and the two cavalry slammed together, shouting, screaming, blade light, and blood shadows, intertwined into a bloody night.
I don't know how long it took, when all the sound and light were still, the iron cavalry was surrounded, and in the center was the bloodstained Song Qian.
Song Qian's spear had already been broken, the spare slashing knife was also full of gaps, and the mount was also killed, only supporting the ground with a knife, and it could not be supported by trembling strength.
Zhang Liao looked at Zang Ba who was speeding not far away, and said loudly: "Xuan Gao, Song Qian is here." can be the head of the owl and avenge your brother. β
Song Qian smiled miserably: "I won't die in the hands of that Taishan Kou." Holding the knife back, he stabbed it hard, the knife sank into the abdomen, and blood flowed all over the ground.
When Song Qian knelt down and had not yet fallen to the ground, Zang Ba galloped over, and the sword flashed: "The one who takes the head of Er, Taishan Zang Ba is also!" (To be continued......)
