Chapter Eighty-Eight: Zhiyong Wei Wenchang
Zhang Chun was killed with one shot, Ao Lie jumped on his horse and raised his whip, shouting and giving the order to attack: "Blood kill, kill!" β
The elite of the 3,000 Blood Killing Battalion immediately shouted in response: "The soul of blood killing, there is no battle!" Then under the leadership of Ma Chao and Xu Chu, they divided into two teams to kill the rebels brought by Zhang Chun.
Wei Yan watched the three thousand blood killing camp roaring out, and secretly thought that he had not made great achievements since he had joined Ao Lie, and now that Zhang Chun had been killed by Ao Lie, if he wanted to make meritorious service, he could only fall on King Qiao. Looking around at the moment, he saw that the King of Cliffs had already run dozens of steps away with the Wuhuan cavalry, Wei Yan immediately called the remaining two thousand cavalry and chased in the direction of King Qiao.
The movements of Wei Yan and his party did not attract anyone's attention, because the high-spirited charge of the elite of the Blood Killing Battalion successfully attracted everyone's attention, thus making a perfect cover for Wei Yan's turn and departure.
After giving the order to attack, Ao Lie took the lead and raised the overlord gun to kill the rebels. These rebels saw their leader Zhang Chun being killed by Ao Lie with a single shot, where did they still have the heart to fight? Not to mention the low morale, it has fallen into a situation where the dragons have no leader, although the number of people is large, but they have different orders to fight separately, some charge forward, some do not move in place, and even some move their feet a little backwards.
Ao Lie didn't care about this, he picked up the overlord gun and swept it away, and all the rebels who were swept by the overlord gun all wailed and flew out of the river with broken bones and tendons. From a distance, Ao Lie gave people the feeling that he was a giant spirit god in charge of killing in the heavenly court, with infinite power and ferocity.
Under the leadership of Ma Chao and Xu Chu, the elite of the Blood Killing Battalion was like two sharp knives, stabbing into the rebels' ribs with a whistling oblique, as if they had inserted a hot knife into butter, and instantly tore two big holes in the rebels' formation. In the midst of a crowd of people turning on their backs, the steel knives in the hands of the elites of the blood killing battalion kept expanding and contracting, and each expansion and contraction would accurately take away a piece of the rebels' flesh and blood.
Liu Yu rode on a horse and observed the battlefield, keenly sniffing the fighters. So he turned his head to Shi Jian and said: "Gong Liu, now that the rebels have been torn apart by Lie'er's subordinates, you quickly lead the men and horses of your headquarters to enter from the center to form an encirclement." β
Shi Jian glanced at Liu Yu deeply with tears in his eyes, as if he wanted to use this glance to always remember Liu Yu's voice and smile. After that, he choked up and replied: "The last general will receive the order." Then he called his men and horses to pounce on the rebels and attack from the front.
As soon as he came into contact with the rebels, Shi Jian used all his strength, and slashed a rebel captain with a big knife, as if he wanted to completely vent the anger in his heart in this knife. The Han army behind Shi Jian also felt the same way, and every time he swung his weapon, he carried endless anger and strength, and the rebels he killed were defeated and retreated.
Let's put aside the frontal battle for the time being.
Wei Yan led 2,000 cavalry to gallop all the way, chasing north along the hooves left by the king of Qiao. Turning around the foot of a hill, two roads appeared ahead. One is the main road, flat and wide; The other is a small road, which is rough and difficult to navigate. Wei Yan came to the fork in the road, carefully looked at the horseshoe prints on the ground, and found that the large army of the King of Cliffs should have gone straight to the main road. As soon as Wei Yan was about to give the order to pursue, one of his subordinate cavalrymen suddenly let out a startled "huh".
Looking back at his subordinate cavalry, Wei Yan asked in a deep voice, "Did you find any problems?" The cavalryman replied respectfully: "General, the villain knows the road here, these two roads lead to Yuyang, but the main road is nearly a hundred miles farther than the small road, and the Wuhuan people obviously don't know the road, so they only take the flat road." β
Wei Yan pondered for a while, his mind turning sharply, considering which way to go. After thinking for a while, Wei Yan made up his mind, and said loudly to the two thousand cavalry behind him: "Ladies and gentlemen, the lord often says that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, although the path is rugged and difficult, but the victory is that the road is closer. β
The two thousand cavalry said one after another: "I would like to arrange it from the general." β
Seeing that no one of his subordinates objected, Wei Yan waved his hand and said, "Take the path!" After saying that, he took the lead and ran from the path.
It wasn't until he really walked on the trail that Wei Yan realized what it meant to be rugged and difficult, he was originally a person from Jingzhou, half of Jingzhou was rivers and lakes, although there were also mountains, but the mountains were relatively flat, how could he have been so difficult to walk to the mountains and mountains in the north? At first, there were only more stones on the path, and the road surface was a little pothole-filled and uneven, so as long as you were careful, it would not affect the speed of the march. However, as we go deeper and deeper, the road becomes more difficult to walk, not only do there become more and more stones, but even large and small dirt pits appear on the road surface coldly. If the cavalry on the run does not pay attention, they will fall into the dirt pit, and the horse's leg will be broken by the dirt pit, and there will be a non-combat attrition.
There was a section of mountain road that made Wei Yandu, who had always been very courageous, afraid. The trail was so narrow that it could only accommodate two horses at most, with towering peaks on one side and cliffs on the other. Under the encouragement and leadership of Wei Yan, the cavalry of the Han army bravely rode their horses up the mountain road cautiously, and if some of the horses stumbled, the knights would immediately fall to the bottom of the cliff with a series of screams, and fell to pieces. Dozens of people died in this section of the mountain road alone.
However, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Wei Yan finally led his cavalry out of the mountain road and came to the foot of a mountain at the junction of the main road. After Wei Yan walked out of the mountain road, he didn't have time to relieve his nervousness, he turned over and dismounted as soon as possible, and walked to the main road to investigate.
So, Wei Yan began to make careful arrangements. He divided the cavalry into three groups, and the two groups of cavalry lay in ambush in the woods on both sides of the road to watch the situation. The other cavalry dismounted and cut down trees or brought stones to block the road leading to Yuyang, leaving only a gap in the middle of the road for one horse.
After doing all this, Wei Yan's subordinates hid their bodies one after another, and waited for the arrival of the Cliff King's subordinates.
didn't let Wei Yan wait too long, and the King of Cliffs really led a group of Wuhuan cavalry to run towards the ambush circle set up by Wei Yan.
"Huh-" The king rode his horse to stop his horse in front of the pile of rocks on the road, looked at the trunks of the rocks in front of him blocking the way, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on?" Hurry up and get a few people to clear the road. Dozens of guards who followed behind King Qiao dismounted to clear the road. The rest of the Wuhuan cavalry were lying on horseback for a short rest, and the long run had already fatigued their bodies.
Dozens of guards of the King of Cliffs had just walked to the pile of rocks, and before they could clear the obstacles, the bowstrings on both sides suddenly vibrated loudly, and then a large number of arrows were shot from the woods, killing dozens of guards.
"Enemy Attack ββ!" Before he died, one of the guards shouted these words.
Needless to say, the Wuhuan people also knew that they must have been ambushed, and everyone forcibly cheered up and looked around for the trace of the enemy.
A shout of killing came from the woods on both sides, and two teams of Han cavalry rushed out of it. Seeing that there was indeed an ambush of the Han army, King Qiao hurriedly commanded his subordinates to meet the enemy. However, the king of the cliff sadly found that although the road was wide, it was not wide enough for him to calmly form a formation to meet the enemy. Therefore, the king of the cliff can only let his subordinates form a skirmish line and kill the enemy freely.
Soon, the Han cavalry on both sides rushed to the front of the Wuhuan people. The Wuhuan people are fighting on the spot, and because of the restrictions of the road, nearly 10,000 Wuhuan people are crowded on the same road at the same time, so they lose the mobility of their horses and become infantry on horseback, and because they are riding on horses, their flexibility is not as good as that of pure infantry, so that their combat effectiveness is reduced to the lowest point. The cavalry of the Han army rushed from both sides, with the overall advantage of the right time, place and people, and with the help of the impact of the war horse, they rushed into the ranks of the Wuhuan people with amazing momentum.
The Wuhuan cavalry in the first row was immediately knocked out of balance by the powerful impact brought by the Han army, fell off their horses with a scream, and then was crushed by the hooves of the Han army's horses as they continued to advance. Then, before the Wuhuan people in the second row could react, they were beheaded by the roaring Han cavalry. It wasn't until the Han cavalry reached the third row of Wuhuan people that the Wuhuan reacted, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle.
Wei Yan, who was in the distance, saw that the time had come, turned over and got on his horse, knocked his legs the horse's belly, and went straight to the king of the cliff from the front of the road alone.
King Qiao has been paying attention to the battlefield behind him, directing his subordinates to engage the Han cavalry. Wei Yan, who didn't see it at all, galloped wildly, until he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Wei Yan's tiger eyes wide open, and he was running towards him murderously, less than ten steps away from him!
Wei Yan calculated like this, using rocks and branches to arouse the suspicion of the king of the cliff first, and let the ambushes on both sides shoot the king's personal guards with arrows, exposing the position of the king of the cliff; Then arrange the ambushes on both sides to kill, attract the attention of the king of the cliff, and divert his attention; After the battle was completely fought, when the battlefield shouted and killed, Wei Yan single-handedly went straight to the king of the cliff from the front, intending to assassinate the king of the cliff under the horse in one fell swoop.
When King Qiao saw Wei Yan rushing over, he was immediately startled, and wanted to beckon the guards to come forward to resist, only to find that since the guards were shot, there was already a complete blank space within ten steps around him. At the same time, because of the sudden attack of the Han cavalry on both sides, he didn't have time to gather other subordinates to guard him.
In desperation, the King of Cliffs had no choice but to swing his sword to face Wei Yan, trying to kill Wei Yan and solve the predicament in front of him. Seeing King Qiao's reaction, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Wei Yan's mouth. The current King of Cliffs, like his subordinates, has lost the mobility of his war horse, and at best he is just an infantry sitting on horseback, and an infantry who has lost his legs. In the face of such an opponent, if he can't be cut off from the horse, then Wei Yan is not Wei Yan.
Whenβ
After a loud bang, Wei Yan slashed with a knife with a huge impact, and the king of the cliff was caught off guard, and the war knife in his hand was slashed aside by Wei Yan, and the whole body was wide open.
"Death!" Wei Yan shouted, raised the big knife in his hand with both hands, and slashed down from top to bottom according to the body of the King of Cliffs, which had lost his ability to defend himself.
Flutter β
King Qiao didn't have time to make any more dodge moves, so he was split into two pieces by Wei Yan with a knife and a shoulder strap!
With a successful sword, Wei Yan took advantage of the opportunity of the two horses to stagger the staggered opportunity, stretched out his left hand to grab the crown of the king of the cliff, held the handle of the big knife close to the blade with his right hand, wiped it on the neck of the king of the cliff, and easily cut off the head of the king with the help of the impact of the war horse. Then he raised the head of the man in his left hand and shouted loudly: "The king of the cliff has been ambushed, why don't you descend early?" β
At the same time that Wei Yan killed King Qiao, thousands of miles to the south, in the Fuchun County Mansion of Wu County, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy held a sword in his hand, and looked at the dozens of entourages around him without anger. Frightened, dozens of people retreated, and no one dared to step forward.
The young man shouted angrily: "It's all with a certain dodge!" I must go to Wancheng to find Na Ao Lie to compete and see who can be the title of the little overlord. β
This young man is a native of Wujun, Jiangdong, named Sun Ce, because Sun Ce has been infinitely powerful since he was a child, so the people of Jiangdong call him Jiangdong Xiaobawang, Sun Ce himself likes this title very much, and he has always regarded Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, as his idol. His father is the new Changsha Taishou Sun Jian.
Since Ao Lie was about to leave Huang Zhong, the former Changsha Taishou Han Xuan got a lot of money from Ao Lie, so he simply abandoned his official position and became a rich man. Therefore, Sun Jian of Wu County filled the position of Changsha Taishou and took his subordinates to take office.
Who knew that as soon as Sun Jian left on the front foot, Sun Ce, who stayed in Fuchun, was about to go to Wancheng to find Ao Lie to duel, so there was the scene just now.
With a squeak, the courtyard door was opened, and a strong man and a teenager walked in, and the two of them saw that the courtyard was in a mess, and they were not surprised, Sun Ce was short-tempered, and he liked to drop things when he was not satisfied, which was no secret.
There are only a few people who dare to approach Sun Ce when Sun Ce loses his temper. In addition to Sun Jian, the two people in front of him are also in this ranks. One of these two people is Sun Jian's right-hand man, named Cheng Pu, the word Demou, is a native of Youbeiping; That young man is Sun Ce's biological brother, called Sun Quan, whose name is Zhongmou. Sun Quan is very peculiar, his hair color is noble purple, and the pupils of his eyes are different from ordinary people, not black, but slightly deep blue.
Sun Quan and Cheng Pu came with obvious intentions, they came to persuade Sun Ce. They knew that Sun Ce was very proud, and when they learned that Ao Lie was also known as the little overlord, they were bound to find Ao Lie to compete. But before the two of them could speak, Sun Ce blocked the mouths of the two in advance: "If someone doesn't let a certain person go to Ao Lie to compete, a certain person will never say a word to him in the future!" β
Sun Quan Chengpu is naturally very clear about Sun Ce's character of doing what he says, and his words were blocked by Sun Ce's words, Sun Quan smiled helplessly: "Big brother, but now Ao Hussar has gone north to quell the chaos, and he is no longer in Wancheng." β
Sun Ce looked up at the north, and said with a firm expression: "Then so-and-so will go to Youzhou to find him!" In the whole world, there is only one person worthy of the title of Little Overlord, and that person is my Sun Ce! β
