Chapter 301: Slashing Yan Liang
"Order the army on the right flank to immediately move closer to the left flank. The army on the left flank shrinks the line to block the enemy's offensive, and after waiting to join up with the army on the right flank, immediately launch a counterattack! Yan Liang sat under the canopy, and had no intention of getting out of the car at all, Liu Ze's army was only more than 20,000 people, after two battles, although it was not clear how much the attrition was, it was impossible to eat 60,000 people without casualties, not to mention that Liu Ze's army marched for a long time, and then launched an attack at this time, it was just the end of the crossbow, and the strength was not yet through Lu Min, how could he shake his army of 40,000? So Yan Liang calmly gave the order.
He turned around and said to Guo Tu: "Please ask Mr. Guo to stay in front of the front and order Zhang He to return to help quickly, and attack back and forth, and he will definitely break Liu Ze!" ”
Guo Tu received the order and hurried to the front army.
Yan Liang's wishful thinking was quickly empty, most of his elite troops were attached to the right wing, and the strength of the left wing was relatively weak, originally he thought that the left wing would shrink the defensive line, no matter how it could support it for a moment and a half, as long as the elite main force of the right wing was mobilized, it could be immediately put into a counterattack.
But the speed of the collapse of the left flank far exceeded his imagination, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Chen to the five lines of soldiers and horses came out, like five sharp knives, tearing apart the defense line of the left flank of the Yuan army in an instant. The speed of the Plains Army was so fast that many of the soldiers of the Yuan Army did not have time to react, and their heads did not know where they went. The entire left flank was in chaos, and it was impossible to organize an effective formation at all, and although Yan Liang's order to shrink the left flank defense line was conveyed, it could not be carried out at all, and the soldiers could not find a general. The soldiers will not be found, and under the powerful impact of the Plains Army, the left flank of Yuan's soldiers has already fallen apart in an instant.
Guan Yu led the army commander to drive in, and looked at Yan Liang's red cover from a distance and killed him.
The defeat was like a mountain, and at this time, Yan Liang realized that he had underestimated the combat effectiveness of Liu Ze's army from a distance, it was too amazing, too terrifying, and it was unimaginable that the Hebei army under his command was also a good fighting army. But his army was in front of Liu Ze. The fragile one is like a piece of window paper, which can be broken when you poke it.
Looking at Guan Yu from afar, he led his troops to swallow mountains and rivers, and rushed to kill in the Hebei army, like chopping waves. The Hebei army broke and fled. All are invincible. Yan Liang was shocked and asked, "Who is this?" ”
A person who knew Guan Yu replied: "This is Guan Yu of the Tiger Prison against Lu Bu." He is the first fierce general under Liu Ze. ”
Yan Liang hurriedly said: "Take the knife and lead the horse over, this general will meet him for a while!" His subordinates hurriedly brought Yan Liang's horse to the big knife and fetched it, and Yan Liang jumped out of the car. Just stepped onto the war horse, and the knife in his hand was not yet stable, Guan Yu had already rushed to the horse.
Capturing thieves and capturing kings is Guan Yu's forte, what Guan Yu is best at is to take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies, and today it is also Yan Liang's bad luck, and he was targeted by Guan Yu from afar. Guan Yu's horse is fast and sinking, and the soldiers of Hebei are unstoppable at all, and it is only a few breaths of time, and Guan Yu has already pounced on Yan Liang's horse.
Guan Yu shouted, his anger sank into the dantian, his arms poured force, and he slashed down with a knife of "force splitting Huashan".
Yan Liang was in a hurry, raising his knife to meet him, two big knives collided in one place, and Yan Liang only felt that his arms were numb, and the blood from the tiger's mouth flowed.
"Good! Eat me again! Guan Yu turned back the horse's head, rushed over again like a whirlwind, and with a full force of twelve percent, he slashed at Yan Liang's head with a thunderous force.
Yan Liang could only raise the handle of the knife to take over the frame, and with a "dang" sound, Yan Liang's handle was obviously stronger than Wen Chou's gun handle, and it was not cut in two, but the handle made of stainless steel was actually knocked out of a gap by the Qinglong Yanyue knife, and the straight handle was smashed into an arc, and from a distance, Yan Liang's hand did not look like a knife but like a big bow.
Not only that, when Guan Yu's big knife was cut down, Yan Liang only felt that his ears were buzzing, his chest was stuffy, his qi and blood were surging, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
At this time, Yan Liang's weapon was destroyed, and his injuries were not light, so he naturally had no intention of fighting, so he wanted to turn his horse and escape, where did Guan Yu let him escape, two horses and one wrong stirrup, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife slashed towards Yan Liang's neck like lightning. Yan Liang also wanted to take the knife to fight, but the big knife shaped like a longbow in his hand didn't listen to his command, and the knife missed, but he saw the Qinglong Yanyue knife draw a beautiful arc, which accurately passed through Yan Liang's neck, Yan Liang only felt a cold on his neck, and then his eyes were dark, and he completely said goodbye to the world.
When Guo Tu rushed to Zhang He's front army, Zhang He also got the news that the left flank was attacked by the Plains Army, but Zhang He had a different opinion on Guo Tu's order to immediately return to the army to rescue the Chinese army.
"Guo joined the army, our army was attacked by the plain army from the left flank at this time, if the front part of the front is back to help, it will inevitably collide with our army's chaotic soldiers, not only can not save the Chinese army, and it is very easy to be scattered by the chaotic soldiers, the only way to do this is to return to the enemy's flank, and use the same tactics as the enemy's army, attacking the enemy's flank, you can solve the danger of our Chinese army."
Guo Tu disagreed. "General Yan ordered General Zhang to immediately reinforce the Chinese army, the enemy is attacking very fiercely, if General Yan fails, I'm afraid you can't bear this responsibility!"
Zhang He was stubborn: "Our army is a long snake formation, hitting the head and tail, hitting the tail and the head, hitting the head and the tail, hitting and the end of the head, and the last general leading the front to attack the enemy's flank in a roundabout way is the correct solution." If the enemy army launched a full-scale attack at that time, our troops would not be able to escape defeat. General Yan still has 30,000 horses under his command, even if he can't resist the enemy, it is impossible to collapse in a short time, as long as our troops can detour back to the enemy's flank, the enemy army will be flanked by our army, and it will definitely be defeated. ”
Guo Tu is just a strategist, and he does not have the power to lead the troops, so he can't resist Zhang He, so he has to say: "Zhang He, since you insist on going your own way, you will bear the consequences!" ”
"This is natural!" Zhang He thought that his strategy was not wrong, and he and Guo Tu were not on good terms on weekdays, so he naturally didn't bother to deal with it at this time, so he immediately ordered the front men and horses to retreat, the front team became the rear team, and the rear team became the front team, turned the spear head, and launched an attack on the flank and rear flank of the Plains Army along the road on the left.
After Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang, he raised Yan Liang's head high on the tip of the knife and shouted: "Yan Liang's head is here!" Those who descend will not die! ”
The Hebei Army was already crushed under the impact of the Plains Army, and at this time, as soon as Yan Liang died, the army was even more disheartened, and the defeat was like a mountain, and the entire Chinese army, including the left and right wings, completely collapsed.
At this moment, the Chinese officer reported to Liu Zeyu: "Lord Qiqi, the flank and rear flank of our army have been attacked by the enemy and have suffered heavy casualties!" ”
"Who's the leader?" Liu Ze was slightly stunned, and he couldn't imagine that Yuan Jun still had the strength to fight back when he was defeated.
"Yuan Jun pioneer Zhang He."
Liu Ze nodded, it's no wonder, this Zhang He is not ordinary, although he is not allowed to be reused under Yuan Shao, but after returning to Cao Cao, he shines, conquering Weinan, fighting Hanzhong, breaking Jiangling, fighting in battle, and making long-distance raids on the street pavilion, so that Zhuge Liang can return with a feather, and finally died tragically in Mumendao by Sima Yi's calculations. The history books say that he used his troops skillfully, was good at arranging camp formations, was good at using the terrain, and was ranked among the five good generals of Cao Ying. It is true that the Chinese army is attacked by the enemy, and the front team will immediately return to help, but in the chaos of the army, the queue is difficult to survive, trample on each other, and suffer from it, Zhang He is good at judging the situation, and hitting the rear wing of the enemy, there is indeed a talent for skillful change, if it is not for Guan Yu's array to cut Yan Liang, Yuan Bing's defeat is difficult to collect, it is difficult to predict who wins and who loses in this battle.
Zhang Fei was furious and said to Liu Ze: "Wait for my old Zhang to meet him!" ”
Liu Ze shook his head and said: "Zhang He certainly knows the truth that the front team should not turn around, if the third brother returns to the rear team at this time, won't he mess up the formation and give Zhang He more opportunities?" ”
"Then let that Zhang He wantonly kill and poke in the back team?" Zhang Fei said angrily.
Liu Ze was also helpless, if he led the army to turn around to meet Zhang He at this time, his own front would inevitably be in chaos, which was not what Liu Ze wanted to see, Liu Ze decisively ordered: "All units don't need to pay attention to Zhang He's attack behind, go all out to pursue and kill the remnants of Yuan's army, and order Xu Shu in the rear, and fight and retreat to avoid entanglement with Zhang He." ”
Xu Shu served as the commander of the rear team at this time, and in the face of Zhang He's almost desperate attack, he could only shrink his forces, fight and retreat, and slowly move closer to Liu Ze's Chinese army. However, the rear team has been in a passive situation, and the casualties are not small.
Under the frantic attack of the Plains Army, the Chinese army of the Hebei Army collapsed almost on the whole line, and all the chaotic soldiers fled in the direction of Zhang He's troops.
Liu Ze ordered all the troops to attack Zhang He's rear team with all their might. At this time, if you look down from the air, you will see a wonderful scene, two teams of centaurs, like two giant pythons, are separated from the earth, winding into a huge circle, chasing each other's tails, devouring each other one by one.
"Report, the Plains Army began to attack our rear guard troops, and our troops could not resist the enemy, and suffered heavy casualties." The herald reported to Zhang He about the attack on the rear team.
Guo Tu suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said to Zhang He: "General Zhang, what should I do?" "Yan Liang is dead, and all Guo Tu's hopes are pinned on Zhang He, if Zhang He is defeated, this chaotic army can survive.
Zhang He's heart sank, and he sighed and said: "This Liu Ze is really very human, and only he can think of such a tactic." Tell the whole army, ignore the enemy's attack in the rear, and attack the enemy's rear with all your might! (To be continued......)
