Chapter 172: A Great Victory!
Around 6 p.m., the sun was setting in the west!
Wu Lan and Lei Bo were supervising the soldiers to set up camp, but suddenly they heard bursts of thunder in the west! The two hurriedly turned their heads to look, but they were dazzled by the sun! The sun before sunset, like the sun in the morning, is so radiant that people can't even open their eyes!
After turning their heads, the two of them, relying on their experience, immediately judged that this was the gallop of a large force of cavalry!
The first thing they thought of was Ji Ling's 10,000 cavalry, but when they thought about it, it wasn't right! Even if Ji Ling can defeat Liu Bei, he won't be able to come back so soon! This is Liu Beijun's cavalry!
Thinking of this, the two of them only felt a chill in their hearts! One glance at each other, they both saw boundless fear in each other's eyes!
The two hurriedly shouted: "Position to meet the enemy!" Don't fix it, set me up! ”
For a while, the lively camp became even more lively!
Yuan Shujun, who was already preparing to set up camp, many soldiers could not bear the heaviness and suffocation of their armor for a long time, and after receiving the order to rest, I don't know how many people took off their helmets and took off their armor.
Now this happened suddenly, and all the soldiers were stunned! Armor piercing, helmeting, weaponry, etc., are so busy! It's easy to put on, but it's congested with each other, one by one, they can't find the army they belong to, the soldiers can't find the officers, the officers can't find the soldiers, the soldiers can't find the weapons, the generals can't find the horses!
Chen Lan, who was in a hurry, jumped to her feet, but what could she do?
The two of them rode horses, the whips of the horses were whipped wildly, and the soldiers who beat them cried for their fathers and mothers, but it could only make the already messy soldiers more chaotic, and the speed of the formation only slowed down, not increased!
Finally, more than a quarter of an hour, less than two quarters of an hour, they barely set up a large array of nearly 10,000 people, but the soldiers were still in disarray! It's not so much that the formation has been set, but that nearly 10,000 soldiers have finally stood together! The spearmen in front of them, some of them couldn't even find their spears, they just squinted their eyes and stood there stupidly!
They also didn't have large shields like shoars, and for the sake of speed, they put all those things in the camp!
At this time, Zhang Fei's 4,000 cavalry had also arrived!
The sun still hasn't set, although it's no longer so dazzling, but the red sun is still full of light!
The 10,000 people who barely put themselves in formation, under the sun, couldn't see each other clearly at all, they could only hear the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and louder, and the sound of each other's shouts getting closer and closer!
Finally, Zhang Fei's 4,000 cavalry crashed into the 10,000-person array! Suddenly, countless soldiers and soldiers with black eyes were knocked out by the powerful impact of the war horse, and some of them were already out of breath before they landed, but more of them wailed after landing!
Before they could scream, a large force of cavalry swarmed up and trampled them into pulp in an instant!
Chen Lan Lei Bo only felt that his eyes were about to split, and they shouted hysterically, "Resist, resist me!" But the effect is limited!
The cavalry had already penetrated the large formation without encountering decent resistance, and Zhang Fei shouted: "Disperse, a group of four hundred, don't let them regroup!" ”
As a result, more than 4,000 cavalrymen were divided into more than a dozen groups and interspersed into the large array of Chen Lan's army, interspersed back and forth several times, which had already made this large array of 10,000 people unpresentable!
Zhang Fei took four hundred people, but rushed to another large array that was being assembled!
That formation, which has been completed, has about 2,000 people, and it looks relatively solid! The pikemen in front of them, the spears in their hands were stacked on top of each other, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, a little cold light flashed!
Zhang Fei grinned, I just felt that this was enjoyable! If it's all like that array just now, this battle is really boring!
With a wave of the snake spear, he shouted, "Brothers, kill me!" ”…,
The four hundred brothers shouted: "Lord Wansheng, kill!" Following in his footsteps, four hundred people had formed a triangular breakthrough formation, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed into the array!
Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear belongs to the alternative spear class, and the tip of the spear is like a sharp sword with a fork, which can be cut and stabbed! I saw him swing violently, and the first few spears suddenly broke away from the soldier's hand, and he swept again, and suddenly, the heads of several soldiers broke away from the body! Blood spurted wildly, spraying Zhang Fei all over his face!
Zhang Fei wiped the blood on his face, roared excitedly, the spear was like lightning, and every swing always took away a few lives! Four hundred soldiers, like fierce tigers, are surrounded by swords and swords!
It didn't take long for this array of 2,000 people to be completely disabled!
In the excited laughter, Zhang Fei took four hundred brothers and went straight to the next array! Leaving only the mutilated corpses everywhere, the wailing soldiers!
By the time the nearly 10,000 soldiers led by Tian Fan arrived, the sun had already set, Zhang Fei was still attacking some soldiers who had not given up resistance, and Yuan Shujun still did not have a decent array!
When Lei Bo and Chen Lan saw these tens of thousands of foot soldiers, they had no intention of resisting at all, so the two of them turned on their horses and fled with a few personal soldiers!
As a result, there is no need to repeat it at all! Having lost his command, many of the soldiers were suffering from chicken blindness, and they could not see at this time, and they could not pose a threat to Liu Beijun's soldiers at all.
Tian Fan ordered the soldiers to disperse and capture the prisoners, and he caught up with Zhang Fei!
After breaking up the last small formation, Zhang Fei looked at the battlefield and shouted: "Brothers, don't kill, go and capture the prisoners!" ”
As a result, more than 10,000 soldiers shouted, "Surrender or kill!" slogans, began to take prisoners everywhere!
The soldiers and soldiers of Yuan have long been enough! How can this battle be fought like this? First the sun shook so that people couldn't open their eyes, and then it was even more ruthless, at dusk, many soldiers were blind, couldn't see clearly, and their eyes were black, how could they still fight?
As soon as they heard "surrender and don't kill", most people chose to give up resistance immediately, knelt on the ground, threw their weapons, and obediently waited for Liu Beijun's soldiers to surrender!
For a time, the cries of "surrender, surrender, we will surrender" were everywhere!
Zhang Fei greeted Tian Fan and said with a smile: "Boguang, how is it?" Didn't catch up, did you? ”
Tian Fan said indifferently: "Hmm! However, my mission is to capture the captives! He looked up at the sky and continued: "At this time, the sky has darkened, and it is the time when the soldiers of the Yuan army can't see clearly, well, I came, just in time!" ”
Zhang Fei looked at the captives all over the ground and said happily: "Hehe, Boguang, to be honest, I never thought that with just our more than 4,000 cavalry, we could defeat 35,000 foot soldiers in such a short time!" Hehe, this battle is really happy! ”
Tian Fan smiled reservedly and said, "Speaking of which, this is all the credit of Yuan Highway!" If he hadn't raised the soldiers to chicken blindness, I'm afraid we wouldn't have won so easily! ”
Zhang Fei nodded and quipped: "According to what you say, you have to send him some prizes or something?" ”
Tian Fan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Not bad!" Well, I should write him a thank you letter, just say, thank you for sending so many people and things to us, although Xuzhou is rich and there is no shortage of that little thing, but there is a shortage of people! ”
After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Fei, touched his chin and said, "You say, will Yuan Highway be mad?" ”
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and said, "Boguang, good idea!" Hehe, well, I'll discuss it with my eldest brother when I go back, and that's it! ”
The two were talking, when suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves from the north!
By this time it was already dark, and the sergeants had already lit torches. At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and both of them felt their hearts twitch! If it's the remnants of Ji Ling's army, it's not easy to do! …,
Tian Fan immediately said: "Yide, you gather the cavalry, if it is the remnants of Ji Ling's army, I am afraid that there will be a battle to be fought!" ”
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
With that, he turned around and wanted to go!
Tian Fan grabbed him, groaned, and said, "Yide, guess, is this Ji Ling's remnants or Fengxian's reinforcements?" ”
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "What do I care about?" It's Ji Ling's remnants, I'll make him even more remnant, if it's Fengxian's reinforcements, it's even better! ”
Tian Fan nodded, Zhang Fei went to prepare the army without mentioning it!
At this time, the infantry had already finished taking prisoners, and they divided more than 6,000 people to watch nearly 30,000 prisoners, and the other more than 3,000 people gathered around Tian Fan.
Zhang Fei led more than 4,000 cavalry and charged away against the cavalry on the opposite side, leaving only Tian Fan waiting. He wasn't worried that Zhang Fei would suffer, but he was a little worried that it was Lu Bu on the other side, if his own people cut each other in the dark, it would be a lot of fun!
His worries were unnecessary, Lu Bu knew that Lei Bo and Chen Lan had no cavalry, and as soon as he heard a large force of cavalry in front of him, he immediately stopped and asked the soldiers to light torches. And Zhang Fei saw Lu Bu's extremely arrogant dress from afar, so he naturally stopped and lit a torch. So, the two armies happily walked towards this side.
When the two of them asked the cavalry to prepare for rest and came to Tian Fan together, Tian Fan had just finished listening to the loss report!
As soon as he saw them coming, Tian Fan was also very happy! He immediately greeted him with a smile, looked Lu Bu up and down a few times, and saw that he was not injured, so he asked happily: "Fengxian, how is the war on the lord's side?" ”
Lu Bu was also looking at Tian Fan, and saw that there was not even a trace of blood on his body, so he was relieved, and listening to his question, Lu Bu said happily: "It's over!" I don't worry about you, so come and have a look! Is the loss big? ”
Tian Fan shook his head and said: "On the cavalry side, the casualties are no more than five hundred, and on the infantry side, hehe, you don't believe it!" There were more than 30 wounded, and all of them were sprains and deaths caused by their own congestion when they captured the prisoners! ”
Lu Bu's face changed suddenly, and he asked in surprise, "Is this true?" ”
Tian Fan laughed and said, "Then it's still fake? ”
Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Tell me about it! ”
Zhang Fei hurriedly took over the conversation and explained in detail how Tian Fan took advantage of the sunset afterglow and the characteristics of Yuan Shujun's general chicken blindness to formulate the battle plan!
Lu Bu looked at Tian Fan's gaze and suddenly became weird!
After a while, he let out a long breath and said, "Boguang, thank you!" ”
Tian Fan was stunned for a moment, and he asked, "Fengxian, what do you thank me?" ”
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Thank you for persuading me to defect to Xuande!" Today, I saw the power of the crossbow battalion, and I immediately knew that I would not be Xuande's opponent! Hehe, if you still want to be an enemy of Xuande, I'm afraid that sooner or later you will be defeated, or even die! ”
Tian Fan smiled and didn't answer his words, but asked rhetorically: "Fengxian, how is the war on the lord's side?" ”
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Big victory!" Ji Ling's army was almost completely wiped out, except for the hundreds of people who fled, more than 6,000 dead and wounded! Our army suffered casualties, less than 2,000 foot soldiers, less than 300 cavalry, hehe! That's a big win! I, Lu Bu, have fought for half my life, but I never thought that the other party's 50,000 people would be almost wiped out by us at a cost of no more than 5,000 damages! What a battle! ”
