Text Chapter 268 The Shocking Zhang Jiajun (Plus Chapter)
Because the pace of progress was too strong, the formation finally began to be chaotic, but no one would care about those, in the eyes of the Samhan soldiers, only they were fighting others, and no one would dare to make a move against them. But what they didn't know was that in the dense forests on the side of the road, there were many eyes constantly watching them, and these people were the vanguard led by Lu Bu.
After a stirring in Jizhou, the number of vanguard troops dropped by 10,000, although only 40,000 were left, but this did not affect their combat strength at all, as long as Zhang Chao gave an order, they could still show the style of the tiger and wolf army.
This time, on the orders of the lord, he came here to ambush the foreign army's grain and grass, so that they also hid here early.
The dense forest was already easy to Tibetans, and it was dark again, and the Samhan army was not prepared at all, so there should be no problem with this operation.
"General, when will we rush out, look at the current chaos of Sanhan's formation, it is a good time to attack." Adjutant General Hou Cheng watched batch after batch of Samhan troops pass in front of him, and now they had turned from cavalry to infantry, so he asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, General Ben has his own plans, and everything must be based on the orders of the lord." Lu Bu said to Hou Cheng on the side, saying that he didn't want to rush out directly, but Zhang Chao immediately gave an order, and he had to obey, if it was just a momentary hurry, the consequences were not something he could afford.
In this way, seeing one after another Samhan troops passing under his eyes, when the sky was about to dawn, the infantry ranks behind became even more thin, and even when he could see a carriage coming from a distance, Lu Bu was eyes lit up and said: "Order, attack in a quarter of an hour." ”
When the former military Li was rushing after Zhao Yun with a large army and heading towards Xiangping City, there was suddenly thick smoke billowing behind him, which made him have to lead his troops to stop, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Half an hour later, news came from behind, saying that a Han cavalry suddenly appeared, hijacked their grain, grass and baggage, and burned them with fire.
Hearing such a result, Li Buche immediately had a gloomy face, "Cunning Han people, they dare to sneak attack." ”
Angry to angry, there was not enough food and grass, and Li Buche did not know how long the army would be able to hold out. So the question now is, whether to continue to advance to Xiangping or withdraw to Xinchang City, waiting for the domestic grain and grass to be transported again?
Li did not hesitate, and General Chenhan on the side said: "I think we should continue to advance, after the capture of Xiangping City, there will be a large amount of food for us to eat." ”
"No!" Benhan's general Ka Ni did object loudly: "This way, although we have captured a lot of cities, but think about it, the more the later the city is more useless, there is not a grain of grain left for us to use, then even if we capture Xiangping City, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be enough food, for the sake of safety, we should withdraw first." ”
The two of them insisted on their own words, and Li Buche was a little difficult, and thought for a while: "That's it, let's divide the troops into two ways, General Jia Ni led the headquarters to retreat, first solve the Han army behind him, and then occupy Xinchang City, and transfer grain in the country." I and the generals went to attack Xiangping City, and if we could get food, it would be best, and if there was no food, we would hold the city and wait for food. ”
Li Buche's decision, taking into account all aspects of things, the two generals heard that there was no objection, and immediately the army was divided into two routes, and Li Buche rushed to Xiangping City with a total of 120,000 horses and horses of the generals. Jia Ni took 40,000 horses from his headquarters and retreated to Xinchang City.
The army of the three Hans split into two lines in the middle of the road, and the news was quickly known to the members of the Tianyan hidden in the dense forest, and then spread to Zhang Chao, who had reached Xiangping City.
In Xiangping City, Jia Xu and Zhao Yun have entered the city, and the two are pleading for their crimes.
Zhang Chao attached great importance to these two people, and immediately helped them up one by one and said: "The fault of losing this battle is not yours, and the two of you have done their best, without merit." However, it was Sun Du, the Shougong of Liaodong County, who ignored the people under his rule, but fled by himself, and should be severely punished. Someone, behead him for public display. ”
If it was before, Gongsun Du still had a lot of influence in Liaodong, and I am afraid that there will be some troubles after killing this person. But after the Sanhan army entered Liaodong, the army was defeated like a mountain, and the original Gongsun Du's subordinates were also killed and wounded.
The killing of Gongsun Du made the officials of the entire Liaodong worried, and they finally knew that Zhang Chao's kindness to the people was not just for show, which also caused them to pay attention to the suffering and safety of the people.
After dealing with the matter of Gongsun Du, Zhang Chao, Jia Xu, and Pang Tong began to discuss the matter of dealing with Sanhan behind closed doors. And at this time, Zhang Chao received the information of the Tianyan Organization, looking at the battle situation of the division of troops, he slapped the table and said: "The time to hit the three Han aliens is at this time." ”
After the three of them discussed, Zhang Chao personally took 5,000 Zhangjia troops and 30,000 soldiers of the 2nd Army out of the city, and the Dragon and Tiger Army, led by Zhao Yun, took the lead in killing out of the city, leaving Jia Xu and Pang Tong responsible for supervising the grain and grass to bring 10,000 soldiers behind.
Xiangping City.
The seat of governance of Liaodong County, occupying this place, is equivalent to announcing that he has become the new master of Liaodong County. Just when Lebuche and Dezhong came to Xiangping City with an army of 120,000 and were full of ambition to occupy the entire Liaodong, on the opposite side, the Dragon and Tiger Army led by Zhao Yun came out.
"It's this person again, this time it's up to you where you're running." Seeing the familiar figure again, Li Buche was overjoyed. The last time Zhao Yun escaped, he deeply blamed himself, and now that he has the opportunity, he will never allow this person to escape.
Li Buche did not take the Dragon and Tiger Army led by Zhao Yun in his eyes, but on the contrary, he was ready to be annihilated. Seeing that the other party was coming, he led the cavalry up, followed by nearly 100,000 infantry.
After several major battles, the Dragon and Tiger Army to which Zhao Yun belonged had changed from the original 50,000 to 35,000. It's just that although the number of people is small, once they go to the battlefield, they are still alive, because all the soldiers know that the lord is coming, and he is behind them.
There was Zhang Chao suppressed, and none of the soldiers showed timidity, on the contrary, they rushed straight with full morale.
Last time, Zhao Yun only brought less than 10,000 dragon and tiger troops to kill the front army of Sanhan to a halt, this time he brought 35,000 cavalry, and he was even more fearless, seeing that Li Buche led more than 20,000 cavalry up, he jumped on his horse without blinking his eyes.
A total of more than 50,000 cavalry immediately fought together five miles in front of Xiangping City.
The number of cavalry is not a lot of profit, at the beginning of the battle suffered some losses, the original single combat strength is not as good as the Dragon and Tiger Army, the number is not as good, just a pillar of incense time to kill two thousand cavalry.
For such a loss, although Li Buche was a little distressed, but he was not anxious, in his opinion, once his main infantry force followed, then he would have a great advantage in numbers, and it was a matter of time to destroy these Han cavalry at that time.
Li didn't want to think that it was good, and it was indeed the first soldier, slashing and killing, killing more than a dozen cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Army, which made him always have a victor's smile on his face.
Under the smile, the generals behind him with nearly 100,000 infantry finally followed, and they were about to join the battle group, and the balance of victory was about to tilt.
And it was at this time that after the Dragon and Tiger Army, a group of black-clothed cavalry came.
From a distance, I saw that these cavalrymen were all in black armor, and the white armor shining in the sun was actually armed to the teeth, except for the eyes, nose, and mouth, there was no flaw to be found.
It was also after the appearance of these black-clothed cavalry that a sense of slaughter and dullness began to spread on the battlefield.
It was also with this that the black-clothed cavalry continued to surge forward, and that breathing aura began to soak everyone's heart, and that dull aura seemed to be about to explode at any time, which even made some of the enemies of Sanhan at close range feel a little breathless.
"Kill!" Before the black-clothed cavalry, a general riding a white horse and wearing a set of pure white armor looked extremely dazzling, and as he raised the three-foot long sword in his hand and shouted, this pure black torrent finally broke like a flood and began to erupt.
And this white-armored general is Zhang Chao, the general personally worshiped by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
This white armor is also specially customized, and its materials are very scarce, not only can it prevent ordinary bows and arrows, but the most important thing is that it is light and flexible, just like the inner armor of the silkworm, and there is not much weight, so that Zhang Chao does not have a sense of weight when wearing it.
Zhang Chao took action in person, what he wanted was this sense of pro-conquest, because he would find that as long as he appeared on the battlefield, the soldiers below would be extremely desperate, and the soldiers were full of morale as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. That being the case, of course he had to make good use of this battle.
After Zhang Chao shouted, the five thousand Zhang Jiajun were immediately divided into two teams.
One of them was the 2,000 Zhangjia heavy cavalry led by Dian Wei, who pressed forward like a tank charge in a frontal assault.
The other was the 3,000 Zhangjia light cavalry led by Xu Chu, who were divided into left and right sides, like the two wings of an airplane, and killed them together on both sides of the heavy cavalry. And before the man arrived, before the horse arrived, the bow and arrow fell first.
5,000 Zhang's heavy cavalry, this is the most trump card army in Zhang Chao's hands. Often as soon as they appear on the battlefield, they are going to deal a heavy blow to the enemy, they are a division that wins all battles, it is a division that can conquer everything, and make the enemy fearful, and now that they have appeared, it is doomed that Samhan's army will not have a good end.
