Chapter 577: Zhao Yun's defeat

Standing on a small mountain peak, Zhao Yun looked at the opposite side. Before he could see the opponent's formation clearly, he just saw the nearby terrain clearly, and he couldn't help but laugh. The other party is too light on the enemy, his location is a small mountain, the peak is not high or steep, but such a gentle slope is giving the cavalry a greater momentum after the charge, that is, greater power, in this case, the other party will choose to set up a formation at the foot of the mountain, is this the rhythm of looking for death?

Based on this alone, Zhao Yun despised the other party. Such a visionless enemy general will not even choose the geographical advantage, this is to give himself military merits! Smiling, Zhao Yun looked at the other party's array again. The opponent is divided into two parts, the main body is an approximately circular large array, and the periphery is a large shield, which is a typical defensive formation, but it can be seen that there are small formations in the large formation, and the small formations seem to be surrounded by canopies. In the center of the large array, there was a well that was seven or eight feet high. The well is divided into four layers, there are many soldiers in the bottom three layers, about archers, the top layer has a circle of five-color flags, there are several people standing in the center, there are more than 20 big drums at the bottom, and the whole well is guarded by thousands of foot soldiers around it. Zhao Yun's eyesight was super strong, and he could vaguely see that among the people at the top of the well, there was a scribe and a general wearing black iron armor, and the rest should be guards.

This well should be the command place of the great array, the general should be the main general, and the scribe should be the staff.

The other part was a small formation of 2,000 cavalry, who were wandering outside the main formation and were slowly moving around the large formation.

Zhao Yun knows a lot about the art of war, and he can be called proficient, but the formation is a little difficult for him, he has only followed Tong Yuan for three years, although Tong Yuan knows a lot of formations, but Zhao Yun has no time or energy to learn those.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhao Yun could only tell that there were eight entrances to the opponent's large array, and each entrance seemed to be the same, and they were all connected to the other entrances. But he was sure that as long as the order came out from the other party's well, the big array would change, and at that time, the situation in these eight entrances would definitely not be the same.

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhao Yun frowned and said to the deputy general: "The formation is really not what this general can do, but this general believes what General Baihu said!" In the face of absolute strength, no one has the opportunity to cut corners. Ben saw that the enemy soldiers did not have carts and other obstacles in their hands, only skulls and spears, which were a threat to us, but not fatal. ”

After a slight pause, he said: "This time, this general led 3,000 cavalry to break into the formation, and you led 3,000 flying feathers to guard the side, if the opponent's cavalry participated in the battle, you would press up, if they did not participate in the battle, you would wait for the opportunity." ”

The adjutant general clasped his fists and said, "General, what time are you waiting for?" ”

Zhao Yun said: "When the general breaks the enemy formation, and then it is the time for the Flying Feather Battalion to exert its power, before breaking the formation, you must not rush in!" ”

The deputy general was very confident in Zhao Yun, and hugged his fists and said: "No! ”

Zhao Yun nodded, kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the white dragon horse neighed and rushed out first. The three thousand knights behind him accelerated together and slaughtered towards the large array.

On the Jingzhou army's large array, Kuai Yue couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Zhao Yun had divided his troops. He deliberately chose such a geographical location in order to lure Zhao Yun's entire army into battle with geographical advantages. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun was still very cautious, and he didn't want to disintegrate his big array in one go. As a result, the effect of this battle was not as good as expected.

Kuai Yue said to the small school on the side: "Act according to the predetermined plan!" ”

The little colonel hugged his fists and got the order, and then took the order flag and waved it for a while, and more than 20 big drums sounded in unison.

The cavalry led by Zhao Yun was speeding up, and when he heard the sound of drums, Zhao Yun looked to the opposite side, but saw countless arrows flying like locusts. He didn't have any surprises, and he would feel strange if the other party didn't have a bow and arrow. The number of feather arrows of the other party is within his expectations, and it is also within the range of bearing, and naturally his own losses are also acceptable, which is nothing, fighting, it is not normal to be immortal.

Ahead of him is the formation of his own choice, if the enemy lord thinks that he wants to enter through the formation gate they have reserved according to his ideas, then he is too naΓ―ve. There were still eighty paces to go, and the enemy did not react in particular. A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth, a somewhat cruel smile.

Suddenly, the enemy's drum beat changed, the position formation chosen by Zhao Yun changed, and the Jingzhou soldiers put down the canopy, and what caught Zhao Yun's eyes was rows of ** crossbows! **On the crossbow, there are huge crossbow arrows, and the arrows are shining with a cold light.

Zhao Yun's eyes flashed, and he immediately changed direction, and rushed towards the formation gate that the other party had specially left for him without hesitation. **He knows the power of the crossbow too well, knowing that the other party will not be kind enough to leave a smooth path for himself, but at this time, it is too late to retreat, so he can't take care of much.

Seeing Zhao Yun enter the big array, Kuai Yue on the well side smiled, and smiled very easily.

After taking a yellow flag and waving it three times, the colonel shouted loudly: "Change the formation!" ”

After entering the big array, Zhao Yun's brain was dizzy, because he didn't see anything that threatened him, which was not normal. However, the road in the big array was tortuous, and unconsciously, Zhao Yun's horse speed slowed down. Just when he was at a loss, suddenly the drum beat changed, and the big array changed again.

The Jingzhou sergeant, who had been stationary just now, suddenly changed his formation when he heard the sound of drums. Outside the big array, the soldiers next to the eight entrances suddenly rushed towards the entrance, and the big shield of the canopy slammed towards the ground, and the support behind the shield was opened, and the canopy stood up on one side, even if the cavalry charged, it was difficult to break away. In this way, they were not satisfied, and a group of soldiers carried wooden stakes more than half a man high, and wooden hammers, clanged behind the stakes for a while, and one by one the wooden stakes were densely erected. Now, let alone cavalry, even infantry is difficult to pass.

In the large array, Zhao Yun's cavalry was cut off by the soldiers and spearmen who suddenly rushed out. Zhao Yun didn't know what was going on behind him, he was still moving forward, his eyes kept patrolling, he wanted to find a suitable breakthrough.

In order to join Zhao Yun, half of the cavalry that was cut off by the waist struggled to rush into those oars. However, the soldiers were protected by spearmen, and the speed of the cavalry slowed down again, and the few times they charged only increased the casualties. The soldiers did not fight back, but only occupied positions to prevent the Xuzhou cavalry from converging. Then a bunch of soldiers with stakes and hammers came out, and with a clang, the wooden stakes were erected again.

At this time, Zhao Yun already knew that the cavalry was divided into two sections, but he couldn't turn around, although he was in a hurry, he couldn't take care of them. By now, he probably knew what the other party was thinking, they wanted to trap themselves alive, and when their horses were completely unable to move, it was time for them to annihilate them. After figuring out this section, Zhao Yun's beads of sweat came down.

Turning his head to look at the direction of Jing Yan, Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, capture the thief and capture the king first, if you want to be good today, you can only kill the enemy general and let the enemy lose his command! Thinking about it, he turned his horse's head and rushed to the Jingzhou soldiers on the side of the road. However, how could the formed oars be so easy to break if they were protected by spearmen? Zhao Yun rushed twice, but he only lost dozens of soldiers, and there was no effect.

Zhao Yun's anger rose, his eyes were red, and his whole body was trembling. It's not fear, it's not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of? Zhao Yun regretted it, he hated his momentary mistake and let his three thousand soldiers fall to death.

Suddenly, he let out a loud cry, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse suddenly accelerated towards the opponent's row. Seeing that the men and horses were about to crash into the spears in the gap between the canopy, Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes, made a stick with the spear in his hand, swept away thousands of troops with one move, pushed away a few spears, and touched the white dragon horse with his left knee at the same time. The white dragon horse was psychic, understood Zhao Yun's thoughts, and hissed in the high-speed gallop, the front hooves landed on the ground as the center of the circle, the body turned half a circle, and the hind hooves kicked towards the canopy.

This trick was trained many times by Zhao Yun and Bailongma, just to deal with today's situation, and at this time, this trick was used together, and the effect was seen. There was a loud bang, and the two wooden sticks supported behind the oars broke, and the canopy flew backwards. A few screams came out, presumably a few soldiers behind the canopy would not survive.

There was a gap in the formation, the Jingzhou soldiers woke up from the shock, and spurted their guns towards Zhao Yun and the white dragon horse, the spear was about to stab Zhao Yun, the white dragon horse turned around suddenly, Zhao Yun picked up the spear, and the rapid trembling of a few points, several Jingzhou soldiers were dead on the spot. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yun roared angrily: "Brothers, kill me!" ”

The soldiers behind him were aroused by Zhao Yun's bravery, and roared in unison, following Zhao Yun to rush towards the Jingzhou army.

Today's Zhao Yun has brought his martial arts to the extreme. The spear poked and poked, and the corpses were everywhere it passed, and the white dragon horse was also infected by Zhao Yun, sighing and hissing, jumping and kicking, I don't know how many enemy soldiers were injured by it. The guards around Zhao Yun also went crazy, regardless of their own safety, they cleared all kinds of threats for Zhao Yun, and between the rise and fall of the slasher, there was a Jingzhou sergeant who was in a different place.

After a while, this small ground army formation was completely destroyed by Zhao Yun like a breeze sweeping away leaves, and Zhao Yun turned his horse's head and headed towards another small formation. The white dragon horse turned its body flexibly in the narrow area, kept accelerating, and when it was close to the rapid speed, Zhao Yun shouted violently, the spear picked up a canopy on the ground, his arms struggled, and then he roared, and the canopy was thrown by him into the lower canopy formation.

The big guy of more than two hundred catties accelerated to the extreme under Zhao Yun's divine power, and smashed heavily on the canopy array, and the canopy array was immediately destroyed. Zhao Yun did not slow down, and rushed into the opponent's camp after him.

Kuai Yue saw that Zhao Yun was brave and the formation was broken again and again, so he said to the ironclad general beside him: "General Hansheng, this enemy general is too brave, I'm afraid that General Lao will make a move!" ”

Huang Zhong bowed his head slightly, and said: "The military advisor trusts Zhong, and Zhong will definitely go all out!" With that, he clenched his fists and went down the well.

Seeing Huang Zhong go down the well, Kuai Yue looked beyond the big array. It's dusty there, you can't see anything at all, I don't know how the remaining three thousand cavalry on the other side will choose?

It turned out that after Zhao Yun entered the big array, Kuai Yue ordered the cavalry on the periphery to drag the branches around the big array and run wildly, kicking up clouds of dust around the periphery of the big array, blocking the line of sight. The purpose is to make the other party unable to see the situation in the big array, he thought that the carefully prepared big array would definitely be able to trap Zhao Yun and strangle him, but he didn't want Zhao Yun to be very smart and brave, so he actually saw through his plan early, and successfully broke through the small array in the big array, adding infinite variables to his plan.

Now he only hopes that Huang Zhong can block Zhao Yun, as long as he blocks it temporarily. Kuai Yue knew that Huang Zhong was brave, but the soldiers he equipped Huang Zhong with were significantly different from the Xuzhou cavalry. As long as Zhao Yun is blocked and he is not given a chance to break through, it will not take long for the big array to really operate after strangling half of the Xuzhou soldiers.

In fact, his goal was about to be achieved, the half of the Xuzhou cavalry that was separated from Zhao Yun had been divided into seven or eight sections, and when Zhao Yun broke through the first small formation, Kuai Yue had already given the order to strangle.

From a high place, Kuai Yue could see that the Xuzhou cavalry was struggling meaninglessly, facing spears, long ge, ropes, feather arrows and wooden stakes, the Xuzhou cavalry that had stopped had no power to fight back at all, and destruction was their only possible ending.

As Zhao Yun broke through the arrays one by one, the area available for his activities became larger and larger, and after the cavalry made several consecutive turns in this blank area, the speed finally increased.

However, Zhao Yun's mood was not relaxed, and he had to break out of the enemy's encirclement in order for him to have a chance to survive, otherwise he could only struggle. He reoriented his horse and rushed out of the formation. Now that Ma Su has come up, there is no need to go to the enemy's commander, this revenge can be avenged later.

Zhao Yun tightened his spear, and was about to repeat his old trick, and when he kicked the enemy's canopy with his war horse, he saw that the enemy suddenly scattered to both sides. In their position just now, what caught Zhao Yun's eyes were wooden stakes more than half a person high, which were very dense and stretched for dozens of steps. This...... Zhao Yun's heart couldn't help sinking.

Suddenly, the large array in the center of the opponent's large array parted from the middle, and a black-armored and white-bearded general rushed out with a big sword, followed by a large group of swordsmen and spearmen holding shields.

Zhao Yun didn't plan to speak, he wanted to escape quickly, but the enemy didn't give him a chance, so he had to fight. Dividing two hundred men to find a way to break through the opponent's stake array, he led the remaining hundreds of people to rush towards the enemy.

Noticing the big knife in the hand of the opposing general, the big knife was in a simple shape, the head of the knife was an arc, and there was a cirrus cloud pattern on it, which made his heart burst out. Whoever can use this kind of knife is afraid that he is a master!

Sure enough, with a hand-to-hand move, Zhao Yun's arm was sore, and the spear almost fell off.

Although he used his strength to break through several formations, and his strength was a little overdrawn, the opponent's martial arts were also very strong, beyond his imagination.

However, Zhao Yun is strong when he is strong, and he will not be frightened by Huang Zhong's bravery, but will arouse infinite fighting intent.

He stabbed several enemy soldiers to death, turned his horse's head and charged towards Huang Zhong again. Similarly, Huang Zhong killed several Xuzhou cavalry and also turned around and rushed back.

Zhao Yun shouted: "Come and get your name!" ”

Huang Zhonggao shouted: "Nanyang Huang Hansheng is here, Zhao Yun Xiao'er, suffer death!" ”

As soon as the words were asked, the two generals fought together, and the soldiers of the two sides also fought together.

Zhao Yun didn't want to fight, but if he didn't fight, he couldn't, this warrior would chase after him. The opponent's soldiers were very powerful, but under the onslaught of the cavalry marching at high speed, they were still defeated and retreated. But there were many of them, so they still divided a team of 1,000 people and rushed to the cavalry that was destroying the stakes over there, and the Jingzhou soldiers who had just given way to their positions also rushed back.

Zhao Yun's soldiers took advantage, he was miserable, his physical strength was already insufficient, how could he beat Huang Zhong, who had been recuperating? As a last resort, Zhao Yun had no choice but to use the Qingyu Sword, with a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other, which stabilized the situation.

After dozens of moves, a new order came from the well, and as soon as the drum beat changed, Huang Zhong retreated, and the soldiers he led also retreated into the formation.

Zhao Yun couldn't catch up, so he could only stare dryly. He shouted orders to his soldiers to destroy the stakes, and watched warily at the local formation.

The sound of the drum changed again, and the Jingzhou soldiers behind the canopy array shouted in unison, and the canopy formation moved slowly, and at the same time, the feathered arrows behind the canopy flew together, pressing towards the cavalry of less than a thousand people in Zhao Yun's hands. At the same time, the Jingzhou cavalry, which had not been seen, rushed over and blocked the opposite side of the breakthrough chosen by Zhao Yun. They were not many in number, only eight or nine hundred, less than a thousand.

Zhao Yun finally woke up, just now Huang Zhong was just to delay time, delay the time for them to break through the stake formation, and buy time for the archers to be in place. Now the Jingzhou soldiers are advancing step by step, just to squeeze the movement space of the Xuzhou cavalry, and finally squeeze them to death, and then strangle.

The situation is extremely critical, Kuai Yue on the well only feels that the victory is in hand, and Zhao Yun is finished!

Zhao Yun was almost desperate, the space available for him to move was getting smaller and smaller, the speed of the cavalry slowly slowed down, the soldiers around him were shot one by one, and the neat array of canopy on the opposite side, the dense spears on the canopy, and nearly two thousand cavalry eyeing each other, all of this was telling him a fact, he was finished!

Suddenly, Zhao Yun heard a shout of killing, and when he heard the sound, he saw a team of cavalry killing out of the yellow smoke.

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, the Flying Feather Camp is here!

The cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion was ready to meet Zhao Yun under the leadership of Deputy General Zhao Yun, but after Zhao Yun entered the large array, a group of Jingzhou cavalry galloped and blocked between them and the Jingzhou army. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry pulled the branches and ran wildly, the ground was dusty, and their vision was blocked, so they couldn't see Zhao Yun.

The deputy general was not in a hurry, he believed in Zhao Yun's strength, and the situation was unknown, so he didn't dare to rush over. He waited as he sent scouts to approach the enemy's large array and probe the situation inside.

When the news of Zhao Yun falling into a bitter battle came, the deputy general was in a hurry and hurriedly led the army to kill. But at this time, the enemy cavalry knew their intentions and came to stop them. The Feiyu Battalion can be called the elite cavalry in the world, how can you care about these half-hung Jingzhou cavalry? A few rounds of feathered arrows passed and they were scattered. The deputy general did not stop and took the Flying Feather Battalion to rescue Zhao Yun.

Running through the dusty area, the deputy general couldn't get news of Zhao Yun, because under the cover of a tall canopy more than one person, he couldn't see where Zhao Yun's flag was. There was no way, he could only lead the cavalry far away around the Jingzhou military circle. The more he circled, the more frightened he became, and there were many places at the edge of the great array where he could see inside, because the soldiers there had been taken away. But the stake array, which was dozens of paces wide, made his scalp tingle. This dense array of stakes is so terrifying that it is simply the nemesis of the cavalry.

It was easy to find Zhao Yun's position at a critical moment, and the deputy general pressed the excitement in his heart to launch an offensive against the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army surrounded by the periphery. Feathered arrows are coming!

When Zhao Yun saw it, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, work hard!" ”

Needless to say, the knights dismounted their horses, and with the help of the huge bodies of the horses and the cover of the robes, they struggled to destroy the stake array dozens of paces wide.

The cavalry of Jingzhou could not have imagined that they could encounter such an alternative cavalry here. The Flying Feather Battalion doesn't fight you hand-to-hand, they only shoot arrows, and waves of arrows can't stop at all. In less than ten waves of feather arrows, the generals of the Jingzhou cavalry couldn't stand it, so they had to lead the remnants of the cavalry to withdraw first. Zhao Yun's lieutenant sent a team of 1,000 people to pursue, and another 2,000 people helped destroy the stake formation.

There are many soldiers in the Flying Feather Battalion, and many of them like to carry a rope, because they are masters of lassing horses, and the tricks of lassing horses are also good for lassing people. This time I hit by mistake, threw a rope to set a stake, and dragged it with a war horse, which is much faster than a human hand. With their help, the stake array was destroyed very quickly.

At this time, Zi Kuai Yue was not happy, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to speed up.

The Jingzhou army received the order, the speed of the Lulu was accelerated, and the density of the feather arrows also increased, behind the Luar, several rows of archers kept shooting arrows, and after more than fifteen rounds, they would retreat and replace with other rows.

Zhao Yun's soldiers lost quickly, and after a while, there were only more than 500 people left. This is because their armor is strong, and ** is made of silk, which can have some protection against feather arrows.

When the soldiers of the Feiyu battalion saw it, they shot arrows under the command of Deputy General Zhao Yun and suppressed it. Their feathered arrows have been specially treated, the range can reach two hundred and fifty paces, and the weighted arrows make it more penetrating, at this time, at a safe distance, all shoot back, and round rounds of feather arrows return fire, which immediately suppresses the arrogance of the opponent's archers. For a moment, waves of feathered arrows converged in the air, then separated, and plunged heavily into the opponent's camp. The density of feathered arrows is so great that the sound of collision is often heard in the air.

The archers of the Jingzhou army suffered heavy casualties, and the density of feather arrows was reduced by more than half.

Finally, the stake array was broken, Zhao Yun whistled, and the cavalry rushed out of the big formation with cheers.

Zhao Yun looked at the direction of Jing Yan hatefully, and led the cavalry to slowly retreat.

After learning the specific shape of the opponent's large array from the deputy general, Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and said, "In order to trap me, they also trapped themselves to death!" Let's go back and kill again! ”

With that, he led his soldiers to slowly accelerate around the opponent's large array. When the horse's speed reached the top speed, Zhao Yun gave an order, and the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion continued to release arrows. The feather arrows of the flying feather battalion have a long range, and after the speed of the war horse, the range is even longer, and in the case that the Jingzhou army only has a strong crossbow and a ** crossbow to fight back, they are very arrogant, until the soldiers can no longer fight with their arms sore, and the Jingzhou army also broke through the stake formation and pressed up, so they slowly retreated.

After this battle, Zhao Yun led more than half of the 6,000 cavalry, of which only 300 were left of the 3,000 ordinary cavalry, and the Feiyu battalion also lost more than 400. The soldiers led by Kuai Yue also suffered heavy losses, with more than 6,000 casualties among the 15,000 foot soldiers, and only about 600 of the 2,000 cavalry.

In terms of the number of injuries, both sides can be regarded as invincible and undefeated, but Zhao Yun and Xu Shu both know that Zhao Yun is the loser. Liu Biao can not care about the losses of Kuai Yue's subordinates, but his own side can't, Zhao Yun only has 6,000 people, and these 6,000 people play a great role in strategy, but because he is not careful, he lost more than half. If the southwest strategy fails, Zhao Yun will be duty-bound.
