Chapter 11: A Brave Body (Part II)
Zhao Yun wanted to turn his horse's head, but found that the cavalry team was chasing after him, although he was sure to break out of the encirclement of these dozens of cavalry, but he was afraid that the infantry team would soon catch up and surround him again. When the time comes, I'm afraid that if I want to break through again, it will be difficult to go to the sky. Coupled with the black mush on both sides, it was impossible to tell where there was a trail in the dark, Zhao Yunsuo gritted his steel teeth, urged the horses that kept panting, and said silently: Horses, horses, you have to hold on.
The horses seemed to feel Zhao Yun's expectation, neighed, and galloped on all fours again, rushing forward.
The wind was galloping, the light was glittering, it was nothing more than the current situation, and the white-maned horse once again exerted its strength, leaving the pursuers far behind. And the killing sound in front is getting clearer and clearer, and the firelight is becoming more and more obvious.
At this time, a man suddenly rushed out in front, and the soldier who took the lead shouted: "Who is here?" Hurry up and get your name out. ”
Zhao Yun knew that such a sentry would usually be tied to the horse rope, and if he didn't stop, he wouldn't know what was going on if he was afraid of being hit. Zhao Yun was helpless and slowed down the speed of the horses.
The captain stepped forward with a torch and looked at Zhao Yun carefully. Seeing that Zhao Yun was covered in blood, his face was gray, and he was just wearing the military armor that had already been squared, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" ”
Zhao Yun was in a hurry, and scolded: "You rice buckets, don't get out of the way of General Ben quickly." General Li Tong has an order, if Ming Azhen has any gains and losses, I'm afraid that your eighteen heads will not be enough to cut off. ”
The commander obviously didn't expect Zhao Yun to be so unreasonable, so he just said that the military situation was urgent, and he didn't even ask for the password, so he let Zhao Yun go.
Zhao Yun was secretly happy in his heart, and rode his horse wildly from the new.
The torches in front were bright, and a large group of soldiers formed a large encirclement, and the sound of killing continued.
"Could it be Lu Xun?" Zhao Yun was shocked in his heart and thought secretly.
He couldn't be allowed to think too much, because the speed of the horse's charge was beyond Zhao Yun's expectations.
"Stop coming." At the same time, several groups of soldiers stepped forward to block Zhao Yun's advancing route.
Zhao Yun shouted and asked, "Is there a siege of Jiangdong Army troops ahead?" ”
One of the soldiers did not know the mystery and replied, "Exactly." ”
Zhao Yun pulled out his gun, stabbed the soldier under the horse on the spot, and at the same time tore his throat in the crowd and shouted: "Bo Yan is panicking, Zhao Yun is also coming." In fact, Zhao Yun still has his purpose in doing this, first, to want to know if Lu Xun is safe and sound, and secondly, to let the soldiers know that they are still alive, not only successfully completed the task, but also rushed over to relieve them. Although he is single-handed, and he also has a little deception, as the commander of the three armies, the soul of the soldiers, as long as he exists, he is a threat to the enemy and an incentive to his subordinates.
Zhao Yun's strong voice came out in the sound of killing, and Lu Xun, who was originally besieged, exerted his last strength to eat milk as if he saw a savior, and shouted loudly: "General Zhao, I'm here." Seeing Lu Xun shouting Zhao Yun, Jiangdong Jun was in high spirits at the same time, thinking that Zhao Yun had successfully broken through the enemy army and rushed over to support him, the morale of each soldier rose rapidly, and the originally desperate heart seemed to see the hope of life again, and fought hard to kill the enemy.
Due to the strong rebound of the Jiangdong Army, Cao Bing was unexpected, and for a while, there was a miserable sound, and many people were cut to the ground, and the blood flowed non-stop.
Zhao Yun didn't know where he got the strength, and he was so bold that he once again urged his horse to go straight to the enemy. And Lu Xun's whole body was already mottled with blood, his helmet was also shot down, and his scattered hair was fluttering everywhere, but fortunately, he was quite mentally minded and rushed out in the opposite direction of Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun had long lost count of how many enemies he had killed, and he only knew how to keep raising his gun, stabbing it out, and then retracting it, and then repeating the same action. In fact, the arm has been completely paralyzed, and it is just relying on instinct and fighting mechanically. Although it is just like this, Zhao Yun is still unstoppable, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
Cao Jun's array gradually began to panic, just because of the addition of a Zhao Yun, the trapped Jiangdong army regained its tough combat ability, trapped beasts to fight, and good at hurting people, not to mention this group of Jiangdong's tiger and wolf lions.
Lu Xun took advantage of the moment when the morale seemed to be reflected, and led the soldiers to rush out of the encirclement.
The battlefield seemed to have become a hell on earth, trampled by horses, and corpses were like mountains.
Zhao Yun has reached the limit, I don't know when, there are already several more wounds on his body. Blood poured out. He didn't know how long he would be able to hold on, but fortunately, he had Lu Xun together. Zhao Yunqiang endured the feeling of soreness and paralysis all over his body, and struggled to lead the soldiers to break out of the encirclement and retreat quickly.
The Cao army was still pursuing, but the Jiangdong army's escape was in sight, and every soldier spread his legs and ran desperately. In that situation, it was as if there had never been a fight, and it was extremely energetic. Although Cao Bing pursued, he could only slaughter some Jiangdong soldiers who were lone and wounded, and they couldn't run, but this had nothing to do with the overall situation.
I don't know how long it took to run, but the horses under Zhao Yun's seat finally couldn't hold on, foaming at the mouth on a half-hillside, and died of exhaustion. And Zhao Yun was in a trance, accompanied by the horse's stumbling hooves, and fell heavily to the ground.
Lu Xun hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward to help Zhao Yun and shouted anxiously: "General, what's wrong with you, General?" ”
Zhao Yun reluctantly opened his eyes, and said in a weak voice: "Are the pursuers still there?" ”
Lu Xun hurriedly shook his head and comforted: "The pursuers have been thrown away, and we and most of the soldiers have been separated. ”
Zhao Yun raised his head, he couldn't see clearly in the darkness, only about a hundred or so soldiers followed him. Zhao Yunzhen stood up and said, "It's still very dangerous now, if you stop here, I'm afraid that the chasing soldiers will come again." We're a little way forward. ”
Lu Xun hesitated a little and said, "General, you ......"
Zhao Yun snorted coldly and struggled up, but he felt extremely weak, and he almost fell again.
Lu Xun hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but Zhao Yun shook it off with one hand, and said in an excited voice: "I don't need you to help me, this general can still support me." You tell the soldiers, let's go on, find a local native, ask the way, and we will rush back to Zhongshan. ”
The corners of Lu Xun's mouth moved twice, and he looked at Zhao Yun's feet stumbling a little, and his heart was sad for a while.
Zhao Yun suddenly knelt on the ground, patted the horse, and saw that it had no reaction, so he knew that he had lost his strength and died, and couldn't help but say with sadness: "Ma'er, Ma'er, you have been fighting with this general in the north and south for many years, and you have already formed a deep affection. ”
Lu Xun was touched, and led his horse over to Zhao Yun and said, "It's better for the general and we to ride together." ”
Zhao Yun nodded slowly, stood up with some difficulty, took one last look at the silver horse that fell to the ground, resolutely turned his head, and climbed onto Lu Xun's mount. Seeing this, Lu Xun also hurriedly turned over, and the two rode together.
In this way, Zhao Yun fled with a hundred soldiers in the barren mountains and mountains.
After wandering for more than ten days, I finally found the way to Zhongshan.
When they arrived in Zhongshan, it took a few more days, and Pan Zhang and other soldiers had been waiting for several days.
When Zhao Yun and Lu Xun appeared in front of them, it was as if they had been born in another world, and everyone had extremely excited expressions on their faces.
Zhao Yun sighed and kept telling Pan Zhang about the scene.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yun suddenly sighed and stopped talking.
Pan Zhang said strangely: "What's wrong with the general?" ”
Zhao Yun said sadly: "This fierceness is the first time that Zhao has encountered it since his debut, and the 20,000 soldiers who came out of Yingshang with us are only a few thousand left, even if they can repel the enemy army, our army will also be a miserable victory." Thinking that there is a vast land in Hebei Guanzhong behind Cao Ying, if there is such a protracted battle, I am afraid that the lord will not be able to withstand such wear and tear, and sooner or later, he will not be able to withstand the attack of Cao's army and lose the Huainan area. ”
Pan Zhang felt the same way, and the joy he had just now was gone, replaced by a heavy heart.
Zhao Yun sighed and said: "Since the middle lane is suppressed, I only hope that the two flank corps can break through, otherwise, our army will be completely passive and unfavorable to the battle situation." ”
When Pan Zhang heard this, he suddenly remembered something, his spirit was refreshed, and his face showed joy: "I forgot to tell the general a piece of good news." ”
Zhao Yun said: "What good news? ”
Pan Zhang said excitedly: "I found out the news a few days ago, General Zhou Yu has conquered Xiangcheng, forcing Cao Ren to flee, and the army is still approaching, and now it has been pushed to Yingyang, and the area of Yingchuan County has fallen into unprecedented panic. If Yingchuan is turbulent, Xuchang is also unstable. In desperation, Lejin has eliminated most of the troops in Runan and returned to Yingchuan. Seeing the situation, General Xu Huang led his troops out of Xincai and prepared to fight against Yingyin. Under the current situation, Cao Junshen County has been broken, Yingyin is in danger again, and they are about to retreat. ”
Zhao Yun's face finally showed a happy smile, and he said to Pan Zhang with a smile: "These are just temporary victories and defeats, not enough to worry about, if Jiang Qin can conquer Wuguan, it will make the entire battle situation change dramatically." Let our army have the initiative. ”
Pan Zhang also smiled: "General Zhao doesn't know, Jiang Qin tackled the key problems, and forced the Cao army to guard the 800 miles overnight to rush the document to Cao Ying, and the most important thing at this time is that Ma Teng has already been dispatched, and now under the scattered pass, even the battle is victorious, if the Cao army does not wave his army to protect himself, I am afraid that the land in the middle of the pass will change hands." ”
Zhao Yun was pleasantly surprised: "Ma Teng really sent troops?" ”
Pan Zhang said excitedly: "Exactly, it is rumored that when Cao Ying raised his troops, the lord gave Ma Teng a piece of paper and made an appointment to fight Cao Ying together. Now I finally heard the news of Ma Tengxing's soldiers. ”
Zhao Yun waved his hand vigorously and said happily: "If Ma Teng can raise the troops of Xiliang and enter the pass, with the courage of the soldiers of Xiliang, of course, the Cao army will not be able to resist if it loses the main force." Cao Ying's return to Beijing is almost a sure thing. Under such circumstances, if our army does not pursue, it will be a missed opportunity. ”
Pan Zhang nodded: "My subordinates have this intention, I believe that Lord Xu Shu thinks more thoroughly than us." It will not disappoint us. ”
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "I've been depressed these days, and I finally heard a lot of good news. Pan Zhang, immediately send an order, let the soldiers prepare, and tomorrow will say the fifth watch, we will return to Yingshang and take back Anfengjin from the new. ”
Pan Zhang first shouted down, and then said with some confusion: "General, with our current army, can we take An Fengjin?" ”
Zhao Yun said with a confident face: "Shen County has been broken, and the material line that Yingshang County relies on has been cut off, what will Cao Bing's troops in Anfengjin take to feed their stomachs?" Moreover, Huang Xu's troops should have already left for Yangquan. ”
Pan Zhang came to his senses: "The general didn't say that his subordinates really forgot that the task force led by Huang Xu had entered Zhayangquan and resisted the Cao army together with the defending general Ling Tong." ”
Zhao Yun said: "Isn't that enough?" You go down and get ready. ”
Pan Zhang answered and walked out.
At this time, Lu Xun said with a respectful face: "General, my subordinates have an idea, I don't know if the general wants to hear it?" ”
Zhao Yun nodded and encouraged: "If you have any ideas, just say them." ”
Lu Xun said softly: "If Cao Ying wants to retreat, he must pass through Shen County, and Shen County has just gone through a fire and was attacked by Pan Zhang, and his defense ability has been greatly weakened. It is better to take advantage of this opportunity to write a letter from the general, asking General Xu to shake a shot, but he joined forces with the general to rob and kill Cao Ying in Shen County, if he is lucky, he may be able to capture and kill Cao Ying. ”
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, this plan was a great temptation to him, but Zhao Yun was still worried: "Cao Jun has a wide range of generals and countless capable people, just relying on this little man, I am afraid that it will not be enough to pose a threat to him." ”
Lu Xun said softly: "Cao Ying's surname is suspicious, and he will definitely not be in a hurry to retreat for a while." Therefore, there is still a lot of time for the general, and you can also wait for the Yangquan troops to dispatch, take back An Fengjin, and then quickly raise it, in this case, the troops should be enough. ”
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "If Cao Ying has not withdrawn after taking back An Fengjin, then General Ben will go to Shen County again, even if Cao Ying can't die, let him take off a layer of skin." ”
Lu Xun saw that the strategy was adopted, and his eyebrows danced.
Zhao Yun asked, "Do you know what the situation is in Xia Cai now?" ”
Lu Xun said to Zhao Yun: "I just asked a few soldiers from my subordinates, and the situation in Xia Cai is now believed to be relatively stable, and after having the support of General Zhu Huan's men and horses, Cao Jun obviously did not dare to act rashly, and occasionally attacked several times, but was repelled by Lord Xu, and it was not a real threat." ”
Zhao Yun breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The situation has stabilized. ”
Early the next morning, Zhao Yun led the soldiers out of the camp and moved towards Yingshang.
The first battle of Shenxian County, its significance is extremely far-reaching, not only Zhao Yunwei is famous, but more importantly, Cao's army attacked Yangquan from An Fengjin as the entrance, and the plan to force Shouchun was destroyed, this front was almost completely paralyzed, and more importantly, as the transit of Xia Cai, most of the materials were destroyed, and the front line was immediately tightened.
