Chapter 20: The Arrival of Reinforcements (6)
"Not good!" Sima Yi suddenly thought of something. After shouting that it is not good, immediately beat the drum and order to assemble.
The sky has gradually darkened, Sima Yi personally led the army to the city of Huaixian, and looked at Huaixian County for a long time, Sima Yi was full of emotion. In fact, he had already guessed something, Yu Ban's army pursued Zhang Lang, who fled, not to mention the chase, and met Zhao Yun's reinforcements, even if Zhang Lang's troops turned around Zhao Yun's army, they still said the past, but in two days, Yu Ban did not report the number of dead and wounded except for reporting where the pursuit was. Yu Ban definitely wouldn't want to hide the number of dead and injured himself, unless it was negligible. From this point of view, Yu Ban's army did not encounter Zhao Yun's reinforcements, but was pinned down by Zhang Lang's troops, and retreated to Muye. And the real Zhao Yun's army is on its way to Huaixian. What's even more terrifying is that the scouts haven't heard anything about this force at all.
Sima Yi looked up at the dark night sky, which was already full of stars, and suddenly, an object glowing white in the sky gradually rose high into the sky. The flickering light was clearly visible as the lamp burning in the wind.
Just as Sima Yi was searching for this extremely familiar thing in his mind, he suddenly heard a report from the scout: "Report to the general, a brigade of unknown numbers is rushing towards our army, and it is impossible to estimate the number of people because it is dark, but according to the way they march in line, it is not overwhelming 10,000 people." The cavalry was in the vanguard, followed by a significant number of infantry. ”
Sima Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, as expected, there was really reinforcement support, no wonder Guo Jia would defend Huai County: "Pass the order, the vanguard troops will attack Huai County." The rest of the troops resisted Zhao Yun's reinforcements. Today, it is determined to take Huai County. Sima Yi finally got angry. It doesn't matter if you have reinforcements (round army) or flat army. It was determined that Huaixian could not withstand this wave of attacks on him. Ordered to storm Huai County.
Although they were all exhausted and faced with a life-and-death choice, the Jiangdong Army still adhered to its own position, its own combat position, and worked hard to make a stubborn resistance to Cao Jun.
At this moment, time passed very slowly, and Zhang Lang in the secret room was also extremely irritable. Originally, I wanted to delay time, but I didn't expect to force Sima Yi to be in a hurry.
Cao's army was also slightly tired after several days of two days of attacking, and the attack during the day was unsuccessful, and the morale was inevitably affected again, and the war was going on to a fever pitch at this time. Cao's army was almost equal to the Jiangdong army's casualties. The strong Jiangdong Army had nothing at this time, and all the soldiers unanimously thought that they would withstand this wave of attacks and be saved when reinforcements arrived. The weapon was broken, bitten with teeth, and hit with fists.
Almost all the moves that could be used were used, and he swore to stick to his position and not let Cao Jun take half a step. The dark night sky is full of stars, and the land of Huaixian County is also pitch black, and the white stone road has long been dyed red under the fight of both sides. Even the smell of blood fills the air.
Cheng Yu's cavalry is getting closer and closer, although it did not impact the Cao army, but it also contained part of the military strength, Cheng Yu ordered all the cavalry to change to infantry to fight, and all the torches were inserted on the horseback, so that the horse rushed to the Cao army's camp.
The first person sees it, and then the second ...... began to shout, there was no one immediately, it was the suspicious tactic of the Jiangdong army, and the news reached Sima Yi's ears, but he did not stop attacking Huaixian because of this. On the contrary, he ordered the rear troops to also participate in the battle of storming Huaixian, and it was like he would not give up if he did not take Huaixian.
The Jiangdong soldiers fell in a pool of blood one by one, and the Cao soldiers also decreased a lot, and the Jiangdong army, which had already killed the red-eyed Jiangdong army, had only one concept in his mind at the moment, no matter what, he had to hold Huaixian and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. The Jiangdong soldiers, who had been cut down, did not give up resistance, even if they were lying on the ground and lost the ability to fight, they were still holding Cao Jun's feet and biting for a while, and the battle was quite tragic.
Sun Ce and the other generals were also red-eyed, and in the dark night, they could only see a black figure riding a big horse shuttling back and forth in the crowd to tear and kill. It set an excellent example for the Jiangdong soldiers. The guards who protected Sun Ce were not weak, and seeing that the main general was killing so fiercely, the matching knife in his hand was also up and down. stepped on the corpse of Cao Jun, who didn't know if it was his own person or Cao Jun, and followed Sun Ce.
The cavalry led by Cheng Yu, under his tactics, rushed towards Huaixian frantically, and was very anxious when they saw the sky-high flames above Huaixian. I had to urge the army to hurry up.
"Racking ......" was when Cheng Yu was anxious, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves not far behind him.
Looking back, it was hundreds of people riding war horses rushing over, and the first person rushed to the front. When people approached, Cheng Yu almost shed tears with excitement, the person who came was none other than the long-awaited Zhao Yun!
A high-pitched horse roar sounded, and Zhao Yun had already rushed to Cheng Yu and restrained the war horse: "Mr. Cheng, how is the battle going?" Zhao Yun asked anxiously.
"General Zhao, it's too timely, quickly, Sima Yi has ordered a strong attack on Huai County, our army has been holding on for several days, I'm afraid it won't last long!" Cheng Yu replied anxiously.
At this time, hundreds of cavalry behind him had also followed, Zhao Yun looked at the cavalry on his side, and pointed to the war horse that was still running aimlessly not far away: "Quick, rush over, intercept the war horse in front, quickly organize the cavalry, and attack the Cao army!" After that, Zhao Yun took the lead and went straight to Huaixian.
On the city wall, the Jiangdong soldiers who were tearing and killing inadvertently saw the undulating fire dragon in the distance, and suddenly their confidence doubled, and they slashed the Cao army who was fighting: "Brothers, reinforcements are coming." Kill! Unfortunately, after the soldier shouted these words, he was cut down by Cao Jun.
However, his words still played a very big role, and the Jiangdong Army, which was fighting to the death, was already exhausted, and after hearing this shout, he immediately changed his mental outlook. shouted and killed Cao Jun.
Sima Yi also heard this shout, but he only thought that there were only torches on the back of the horse but no one on the horse, it was Guo Jia's trick, but he didn't want Zhao Yun's reinforcements to kill.
In order to boost morale, Sima Yi shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, it's not the reinforcements of the Jiangdong Army at all, someone has already found out that it is a trick made by Guo Jia Xiao'er, and there is no one on horseback." You don't have to scruple about it, just capture Huai County. Although there were still a few soldiers who would doubt Sima Yi's words, most of them still believed him very much, after all, he had defeated Zhang Lang.
For a while, Cao Jun thought that there were no reinforcements in Jiangdong, and his morale was great. Step by step, the Jiangdong Army guarding Huai County was forced back. Although Sima Yi is Cao Ying's person, what he said just now cannot be said to have no effect.
After Sima Yi shouted, a burst of Jiangdong soldiers' screams was ironclad evidence, but at this time, the Jiangdong army was only paused by Sima Yi's words for a moment, and was not greatly affected, and started a tug-of-war with Cao Jun at the gate of Huaixian County. Rao is Cao Jun's morale is high at the moment, and there is no way to take the Jiangdong Army that swears to resist for a while.
Zhao Yun held a silver spear in his hand, and rushed straight to Huai County, getting closer and closer, and finally, when the fire was more obvious, another Huai County soldier shouted: "General Zhao is coming, reinforcements are coming." After one person shouted, the eyes of the others on the city wall naturally looked in the direction that the soldier was pointing.
After the shout of the first person, then the second person, and the third ...... Finally, the Jiangdong Army burst out with an earth-shattering momentum, shouting and standing with Cao Jun.
When Zhao Yun rushed to the city gate under Huaixian County, he did not rush into the city, nor did he rush directly at Sima Yi's Cao army, but took a very wise way of fighting, except for the east gate that Sima Yi personally attacked, the other three gates rushed back and forth. All that passed was Cao Jun's corpse. The screams were endless.
Cao Jun had heard of Zhao Yun's reputation, and after learning that he had arrived in Huai County, there were still many timid Cao Jun who were terrified. was stunned and was slashed by the morale-boosting Jiangdong Army.
Zhao Yun continued to rush back and forth between the three gates, the first to rush into the south gate, ignoring the shouts of the Jiangdong army, nor ignoring the surprise of the Cao army, everywhere he went, the corpses were lying on the ground, and the silver spear would attack the Cao army's main generals Geng Ji and Jiao Bing who attacked the south gate under the watchful eye of the people, and they would pick and stab under the horse in a few rounds. Then he went straight to the west gate, and he was still like this, and he directly picked the main general of the army. Kill the North Gate again. Ran between the three gates. Zhao Yun worked tirelessly to do this, firstly, to prove the arrival of reinforcements, and secondly, to boost the morale of the Jiangdong Army.
It was clear that his purpose had been achieved. Only then did he return to the south gate, at this time, the cavalry led by Cheng Yu had also reorganized and rushed to the south gate, and under Zhao Yun's instructions, he pointed the spearhead at Sima Yi's headquarters, which had the strongest combat effectiveness in attacking the east gate.
After the cavalry, followed by the sky-high fire, Sima Yi knew that Zhao Yun's reinforcements had really come up. looked at the city wall of Huaixian County, which had been attacked for a long time. His chest rose and fell, and he was unwilling to say: "Withdraw the troops!" ”
The battle of Huaixian finally ended with the arrival of Zhao Yun's reinforcements, and the horn of victory sounded in every corner of Huaixian, and the Jiangdong Army, which had gone through more than a dozen battles, finally relaxed. Hail the victory in the Battle of Huaixian.
Zhao Yun rode his horse into the Huaixian Mansion, and just as Zhang Lang and others who heard the sound of the horn came out, they rushed forward and bowed: "Lord, my subordinates are too late to save the fight, and I ask the lord to forgive me!" ”
"Hahaha...... Zilong, you came too timely, if it was a little later, Huaixian would have fallen into the hands of Sima Yi, and I wouldn't know where it was at that time? You have merit in saving the fight, what is the crime? Zhang Lang helped Zhao Yun to stand up, looked at the people around him and smiled. The excitement in my heart cannot be concealed, and it is all on the surface.
The next time, Zhang Lang learned that Sima Yi returned to the Taihang Road. Cheng Yu stayed in Huai County, accompanied by Guo Jia and Zhao Zilong, and went to Xuzhou.
