Chapter 5: The Black Hawk Guard
Zhao Yun was impatient here, Zhang Xun's reinforcements were large, the soldiers and horses were like a tide, and the sound of killing shook the sky, covering the mountains and fields, rushing to kill. Although the 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers led by themselves fought bloodily and did not retreat, they gradually could not resist, but fortunately, the Xuzhou soldiers were well-equipped, well-trained, and their morale was high. Now I hope that Zhang Lang's troops and 10,000 soldiers of Dian Wei can eat Xun Zheng's 30,000 horses as soon as possible, and they are fighting against Zhang Xun.
Zhao Yun was particularly attractive in the tens of thousands of troops fighting each other. Silver spear and white horse, like a white lightning, rushed left and right, where the gun and horse arrived, there was no round of generals, silver and white robes, blood stained bright red. When Zhang Xunjun went down, he saw a white armored Confucian general coming to kill, and they all fled in all directions. Zhang Xun looked at it from afar, and it was really shocking that there were such brave people in Xuzhou.
In the autumn of 208 A.D., Cao Ying took Jingzhou in the south, Liu Bei was caught up by Cao Ying in Dangyang Changsaka, defeated and scattered, abandoned his wife and went south, Zhao Yun was born and died in the chaos of the army, seven in and seven out, rushed to kill all night, picked Cao Jiang more than 50 people, and finally came out with a fight in his arms. Although some of them are deified, his bravery is also implanted in people's hearts.
It's just that with Zhao Yun's combat strength, it is easy to break through, but it is very difficult to turn things around.
On Huai Mountain, Yan Ming, who was watching the battle, said to Han Juzi with an ugly face that was a little excited: "Zilong can't support it anymore, let's go to Xuyi quickly." Han Juzi nodded with a rough face of concern, and the two of them took five hundred parts, and quickly and mysteriously disappeared under Huai Mountain.
Han Juzi and Yan Ming touched it at night.
Halfway through, I suddenly saw another large group of men and horses hurrying out, as if they wanted to support Zhang Xun's troops. The two of them were overjoyed, for them, the cleaner Xuyi's soldiers and horses walked, the better, so that they could win more smoothly.
It turned out that Zhang Lang sent the young man named Du Feng, who was very exquisite, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, two black eyes, first put on Yuan Jun's military uniform, and then rode a healthy horse, and went straight to Xuyi. When you get to the city, you shout to open the door. The soldiers defending the city saw that this person was unkempt and had blood stains on his clothes, and there was no doubt that he was brought to Chen Lan and before Lei Bo, Du Feng pretended to be panicked, and loudly complained that Xun Zheng was killed in battle and Zhang Xun was besieged.
Chen Lan and Lei Bo had already learned that Xun Zheng had died in battle, and Du Feng confirmed it, and their hearts were filled with joy. Hearing that Zhang Xun was surrounded by Xuzhou soldiers, he was shocked at first, and then hesitated a little and carefully interrogated Du Feng about the details. Du Feng did not have a trace of panic, he was calm and free, and he was like a stream, and what he said was the Tao, and there were no flaws, so the two of them believed it.
Lei Bo's scar trembled, and his face was uneasy and said to Chen Lan: "Xun Zheng is dead, if General Zhang makes any mistakes, we will not be able to escape his guilt, and we should give full support." ”
Chen Lan was originally a simple-minded guy with developed limbs, and he had no opinions, so he led his troops and horses to support. Only a few men were left to guard Xuyi.
Yan Ming and Han Juzi took some time, and took advantage of the night, and because the five hundred Black Eagle guards were all dressed in black tight-fitting suits, and their movements were as light as cats, neat and fast, so the soldiers defending the city did not find out. They soon came to a halt about a thousand paces away from Xuyi City.
Yan Ming's ugly face was tight, and he naturally knew that the responsibility for this matter was important. The five hundred Black Eagle Guards are still the first time to be applied to such a huge scale and severe siege warfare, and in the past, at most, when Zhang Lang's troops charged into battle, etc., but since the pacification of Xuzhou, their strategic tasks have gradually shifted, not in the fight of open swords and guns, but in more secretive and challenging tasks.
The city was lit up, and the city was dark.
"One, two, three......" Han Juzi counted one by one in a low voice.
"Not counting the rest inside, there are seventy-two guards in all." Han Juzi said in a deep voice with a rough face.
Since Han Juzi followed Zhang Lang, he was not really convinced at first, but he couldn't keep it because of the establishment of a martial arts treaty, he himself was a very trustworthy person, and his two sisters became Zhang Lang's concubines, so he had no way to disobey. But since he came to Xuzhou with Zhang Lang, he leveled the yellow scarf together, fought Cao Ying, and the more he saw his experience, he was even more comfortable under him, and lived a comfortable life that he had never imagined before. And he is like a confidant to himself, and he even made himself and Yan Ming secretly train the private guard, so that his strength has been greatly improved, and he has benefited a lot, especially for his two sisters, so where is there a reason to follow him without giving up.
Yan Ming nodded, waved his thick arm, and motioned for everyone to prepare. Then he lowered his voice and said to Han Juzi: "You lead half of the eagle guards to shoot the people in the city with powerful crossbow arrows, and cover me to lead the other half of the eagle guards to climb the city." When I climb up, you will come to your aid. ”
Han Juzi nodded decisively. Casually ordered half of the eagle guards to untie the powerful crossbow arrows on their backs, and take one for themselves. This strong crossbow is based on the original crossbow, Zhang Lang specially improved it, on the cooked cowhide band, plus two thick springs, if you want to pull it away, you must have some strength, of course, this is not a piece of cake for the Black Eagle Guard. The effect of this improvement is that the range of the original crossbow bow and arrow is only about 800 steps, which is almost doubled.
Seeing that he was ready, Han Juzi gave a light order, two hundred crossbow arrows flew together, and the guards on the wall fell down with a scream. These are the homely training methods of the Black Eagle Guard, so they are easy to use.
At the same time, Yan Ming led the other half of the eagle guards, and the cat was dressed in a cat, and he touched the moat in the blink of an eye.
The morale of the battlements who was awakened by the screams was scattered, as if they were frightened, and the extremely sad voice screamed: "The Xuzhou army is coming to attack the city." ”
The sound was very sharp and harsh in the night sky.
Yan Ming's ugly face was cautious, and he motioned for a black eagle guard to unhook him. This hook is a must-have guy for special forces in the 21st century, Zhang Lang learns and uses it, the only drawback is that there is no current nylon rope, and it can only be replaced by cooked cowhide bands. The head of the hook is divided into three forks, which can be shot with a crossbow and hung in a place where the force can be absorbed, and then the person climbs up and down. A set of hook ropes is about thirty meters long, so it looks thick, and the five hundred Black Eagle Guards only have fifty sets of hooks.
Yan Ming quickly loaded the head of the hook on the crossbow, and then pulled the machine spring towards the city, and the sound of the hook and rope breaking through the air sounded like a snake hanging on the wall. The Black Hawk Guards did the same. A slight noise is made. The soldiers defending the city were in chaos, and the shouts were incessant.
Some of the guards saw the hook and rope, and the person with a strong sense of responsibility first wanted to reach out of the battlements to see if anyone was climbing the city, and took a knife to cut the hook and rope, but before they could see it clearly, the crossbow arrows under the city flew up like amps, and the arrow burst into the head, and the blood was spilled on the city wall. After one or two times, some of the soldiers with bows and arrows in their hands were so frightened that they did not dare to stand outside, because as long as they stood a little outside, no one was alive. A few of them squatted on the ground with knives and crawled over, trying to cut the rope, but unfortunately the first foot of the hook and rope were made of stainless steel, and they kept cutting for a while, and they did not dare to poke out of the battlements, so there was nothing to be done.
At this time, another soldier crawled out of the barracks to support the city guards, all of them were untidy, their eyes were half-squinted, and they were holding a simple knife in their hands, only playing haha.
Yan Ming didn't bring his baby three-pointed two-edged knife, only a thick knife with a single back inserted in his back, which was specially made. He first pulled the hook hard and felt it was firm, then grabbed the rope with both hands and began to climb up like a gecko. The Eagle Guards also have a decent climb.
When the guards were still in chaos, they suddenly jumped out of the city wall with an ugly face, and then roared, the whole thing was like a ghost, and several guards on the side were frightened because of what had just happened. And the bolder people, before they could react, Yan Ming's single knife had a cold light, and his head was empty.
At the same time, half of the Black Eagle Guards had also successfully reached the top and joined the battle, screaming again and again for a while, crying and crying for their mothers, all of them were Xuyi guards.
The Black Eagle Guard is few but fine, there are only five hundred people, but this is the essence of Zhang Lang. These hundreds of old and weak soldiers are still ignored, if Chen Lan and Lei Bojia and his 10,000 soldiers are not transferred, it will be a different matter.
The combat ability of the Black Eagle Guard is absolutely first-class, although it is not compared to the generals, how can these Xiaoluo soldiers be their opponents, and soon a large piece of them will fall, and Han Juzi led the other half of the soldiers to climb up, and before there was still a large group of soldiers who did not support them, it was solved in a few clicks, leaving only sporadic battles, but it was not about the overall situation.
This battle showed the power of the Black Eagle Guard's explosive surname and the ability to fight at high speed, and it was able to win the right to control the city so quickly, and Yan Ming and Han Juzi were unexpected. Before there were still guards in the city who did not come up to support him, Yan Ming quickly went down the city, opened the city gate, and lowered the drawbridge. Then the lights flashed three times, and the Tibetan Ba and Lian Rong, who were in the distance, were not bored, and when they saw that there was a light under Xuyi City, they were all overjoyed, and the soldiers rushed over. Xuyi City is fixed.
However, he said that Zhang Xun watched the battle from afar, and the Xuzhou soldiers were brave, although they had several times their strength, they could not swallow the other party in a short time, and the enemy had an amazing martial arts force to clash left and right in the future, such as entering a no-man's land, inspiring the Xuzhou soldiers to fight to the death, and they also lost a lot of money after a while. In the middle of the fire, a soldier suddenly reported that a large group of military horses had moved up behind him. was shocked, thinking that it was the Xuzhou soldiers who copied the small road to cut off their own back road, and just wanted to face the battle, but saw that it was Chen Lan and Lei Bo leading the troops.
Zhang Xun asked strangely: "Didn't you tell you to defend the city?" What are you bringing your troops for? ”
Lei Bo was also very surprised, and said confusedly: "A soldier just reported that General Zhang was besieged in Huai Mountain, and his subordinates hurriedly led troops to respond. ”
Zhang Xun is not a stupid person after all, his face has changed greatly, his anger is extremely corrupt, and he is as irritable as thunder: "It's not good, it's a trick, Xuyi is in danger." ”
Then shouted loudly: "Retreat quickly." ”
Lei Bo and Chen Lan both changed their faces greatly, and they regretted their rash behavior, and hurriedly retreated with Zhang Xun to lead the troops.
The soldiers and horses retreated like a tidal wave.
Zhao Yun saw that Zhang Xun's large army began to retreat, and let out a long breath, although he did not hurt himself after rushing back and forth for so long, he was also a little tired, especially after his mood relaxed for a while, he felt very obvious, sweat and blood stuck together on his face, and the horses under the seat were also panting. Of the 10,000 Xuzhou soldiers, there are less than 5,000 left, which shows the tragic situation of the battle. When all the soldiers saw Zhang Xun retreating, they all cheered in unison, and the sound resounded throughout Huai Mountain.
Xun Zheng's remnants saw that the general trend had gone, and those who fled fled, and those who couldn't escape could only surrender.
At the foot of Huai Mountain, corpses were piled up like a mountain, and blood flowed like a river. Remnant flag weapons everywhere, under the illumination of the cold moon, are like hell on earth, making people vomit non-stop. Just looking at the battlefield after this incident, you can see how tragic the fight between the two sides was at that time.
It's just that the matter is not over yet, and it is too late to clean up the situation at the scene, Zhao Yun immediately made a decision, joined forces with Dian Wei, and led the troops to catch up.
At this time, Zhang Lang also led the troops up, in addition to the three thousand heavy helmet iron cavalry did not dispatch, he played the hole card in his hand, fortunately Xuzhou soldiers brave, plus he even used a clever plan to defeat Zhang Xun and win Xuyi. And his most successful point is that the team headed by Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, and Xu Shu gave full play to their wisdom, calculated everything, and carefully discussed every detail as much as the development trend of things, and determined the most appropriate tactics according to their strength, and then implemented by Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and other brave warriors of the three armies, so they can win more with less every time. Otherwise, just talking about the strength of the army, the difference between himself and Cao Ying, Yuan Shu, etc. is several times, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to win, but the way of the soldiers, not to speak with more people, more important is to plan things and the cooperation of the general, this is the key to victory, and he just caught this key.
In terms of wisdom, he is as good as Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, etc., and he is not as good as Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Zhang Liao in terms of conquest. But his greatest strength is to be able to organically pinch these people together, give full play to their characteristics, and become an effective one, and he will never be like the ancients who were jealous, or because of the other party's high merits, because their thinking is two thousand years later, so they are more open, more practical, and more dare to let go. This is also one of the reasons why they are so determined to follow themselves.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Rong and Zhao Yu, the beautiful jade girls like flowers, stood behind him, and there was Guo Jia in the big tent, but he looked down and pondered, and his handsome face seemed to be smiling. But I didn't see Cheng Yu, Xu Shu and Tian Feng.
It turned out that after the encirclement and annihilation of Xunzheng's 30,000 troops, nearly 10,000 of them were killed in the battle and 10,000 surrendered, most of them were injured and temporarily incapacitated, while some of the remnants of the soldiers fled, Cheng Yu went to take care of the aftermath, and Tian Feng went to appease the surrendered soldiers. Xu Shu led 5,000 soldiers and horses to support Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun and others led troops to pursue. Originally, Zhang Lang disagreed, but he had no generals available, and he wanted to send Zhao Yu to go, but Xu Shu volunteered at this time, Zhang Lang knew that he was a ranger in his previous life, so he agreed.
Only 3,000 heavy cavalry and a few defenders were left in the village.
Yang Rong was a little worried, her pretty face was worried, and she frowned slightly and said: "Husband, although the soldiers and horses have all been transferred to pursue, but the total is only 35,000, plus the soldiers who died just now, there are not 30,000 on the other side, and the other party has as many as 60,000, have our troops ever fought?" ”
