Chapter 32: The Great Defeat
In the next three days, Sun Ming carefully traveled 20 kilometers and set up a village at the foot of a mountain called Manluo Mountain.
He immediately ordered Zhang Fei and Han Zhong to lead 3,000 men to advance ten kilometers.
Go to a place called Pingguan to go down to the front village, and form a horn with the village.
When dividing the troops, Sun Ming repeatedly told him to be careful of the enemy's sneak attack, and that Daoist's Meng Da was defeated in this way.
Zhang Fei and Han Zhong were ordered to go, and that night, the spies in the front village also captured an outpost soldier of the enemy army and captured him alive and returned to the village.
The man was brought to Zhang Fei, and he had been trying to break free, Zhang Fei looked at his appearance, and the thief's face was painted with red paint, which seemed to be a unique symbol of Zhang Baojun.
The man kept struggling, and kept a cruel smile on his face, as if he didn't know the pain and fatigue, and no matter how he was tortured and questioned, the man was silent.
Seeing that the man had not spoken, Zhang Fei suddenly felt bored, so he stopped interrogating.
After a day of marching, he was also a little tired, and when he wanted to go back to the back tent to rest, Han Zhong stopped him.
"Brother Yide, according to the situation gathered for many days, that Zhang Bao has never been in accordance with common sense in fighting, I think I still have to tell all the soldiers to be careful of the enemy's sneak attack, and send more..."
Before Han Zhong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Fei, "Even if you march in a hurry, it will take four or five hours for the enemy to arrive, and the enemy hasn't seen it yet, why did you become so cowardly?" ”
Han Zhong looked at Zhang Fei and replied with a little anxiety, "But the owner has explained that you must be careful of the enemy's sneak attack." ”
"We can't gamble with the lives of the 3,000 soldiers in Qianzhai that the enemy army will not sneak attack."
Zhang Fei waved his hand indifferently, "You are too long-winded, now we are still more than forty kilometers away from the thieves, and even if they come, they will only give away people's heads." ”
"Calm down, you can't say that Zhang Bao is as vulnerable as his previous opponent."
Han Zhong walked up to Zhang Fei and said with a little anger in his tone, "Yide, this time Zhang Bao is no better than the previous enemy, and he is one of the three main forces of the Yellow Turban. ”
"And the number of people in our front village is only a fraction of that of the thieves, you must not be careless."
Zhang Fei was already a little impatient, "Okay, then listen to you, send more sentinels, and be careful." ”
Who knew that Zhang Fei was asleep, and was suddenly woken up by the noise outside the camp, Zhang Fei hurriedly ran out of the tent with a spear.
As soon as you get out of the tent, you can hear the deafening shouts and killings and the fire in the sky more obviously.
A small soldier ran to Zhang Fei to report that there was a sneak attack by the enemy and set fire, and now he is engaged in battle with our army.
At this time, the sky was not yet hazy, and several tents in the front were already lit, and the sky-high flames illuminated the battlefield.
Fortunately, the soldiers had received Han Zhong's orders, and when the rebels approached the village, they had already been discovered by the sentry, and the soldiers in the front village immediately quickly got up to meet the enemy.
Zhang Fei came to the battlefield with a snake spear, burst into green muscles, rushed towards the enemy with the spear, and shouted, "Zhang Yide is here, you thieves come and die." ”
There were only a thousand thieves in that group, less than Zhang Feiren, but they were all crazy as if they were dying, and they set fire to them while fighting back.
On the other hand, Zhang Fei's side, although there are more people, because of insufficient preparation, and many of them are Yellow Turbans, their combat effectiveness and discipline are slightly poor.
In such a comparison, although the number of thieves was small, they gradually began to suppress the 3,000 people in the former village.
Zhang Fei's force is very high, a person rushed into the enemy's army, the iron spear swept away, and several small soldiers in front of him couldn't resist it, and they were all blocked and split.
Although he was alone, the bravery he displayed made the dozens of enemies he faced fall one after another.
At this time, a thief head burst out of the enemy army, holding a halberd, and came up to Zhang Fei is slash, and Zhang Fei resisted with a spear.
The leader of the thieves was named An Wu, and he was one of the leaders of this sneak attack.
The force from the weapon let Zhang Fei know that the strength of the thief leader was not smaller than his own.
Zhang Feiqing's muscles burst out, pushed away the halberd hard, and his backhand was a low kick towards the thief's left leg.
The thief took a step back, and then came up to fight with Zhang Fei, fighting for seven or eight rounds, and there was no winner or loser.
And Han Zhong's side is also struggling to kill the enemy, but he has never been as fierce as Zhang Fei, seeing that the fire is spreading more and more, and everyone can't run if he stays for a long time.
Then he found Zhang Fei, stopped him and said, "Brother Yide, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, let's retreat quickly, or we won't be able to leave." ”
Zhang Fei was fighting with the thief leader at this time, and he could still listen to Han Zhong's advice, he was already carried away by anger, and shouted, "You let go of me, I will kill the thief." ”
Han Zhong hurriedly asked the soldiers to pull Zhang Fei back, and Zhang Fei kept scolding.
The fire spread across most of the former village, and they had to retreat to the village, and all the baggage and grain from the front village were not brought out.
Not long after they left, they met Guan Yu coming from Benzhai with men and horses.
It turned out that the sentry of the village found a fire when he looked at the front village in the high place, and reported back to the village, and Guan Yu led the troops to rescue.
Han Zhong told Guan Yu about the situation, and everyone had to join forces and return to the village.
Everyone walked back to the village in disgrace, the sky was already dawning, and there were only a thousand people brought back, of course, the thieves also had losses.
But what Sun Ming lost here was the materials and morale of the former village.
Sun Ming had already received the message and was waiting for them to come back in the big tent.
It can be said that Qianzhai was attacked this time and was not completely annihilated, all of which were due to Han Zhong.
Zhang Fei and the others returned to the big tent, and as soon as Zhang Fei saw Sun Ming, he knelt down, and Sun Ming hurriedly walked over to help him up.
Zhang Fei lowered his head and said, "There is a plan to defeat the owner, I don't have the face to see the owner again, I should die on the battlefield." ”
Sun Ming interrupted, "Yide, sit down first, and tell us the specific situation first." ”
Zhang Fei and Han Zhong told what happened.
Sun Ming's face was heavy when he heard this, and he said with emotion, "I didn't expect that Zhang Baojun to be able to have combat effectiveness after marching more than 20 kilometers in a hurry, it seems that I am lonely and unheard." ”
Yu Li snorted coldly, "I have been with you three times before, be careful of sneak attacks, Yide, you just don't listen, if you are careful and vigilant, then at least you won't let the enemy burn our front village." ”
"Fortunately, there are meritorious contributions, otherwise you wouldn't have come back."
"According to the Meng Da intelligence of Daoren City, I know that Zhang Bao likes this kind of extreme tactics, and I guess with the owner that Zhang Bao may really come to sneak attack."
Sun Ming waved his hand to stop Yu Li's blame, "Okay, I didn't expect that Zhang Baojun to be so strong, but you did a good job." ”
Yu Li turned his head to Sun Ming and said: "The strength of the enemy is not a reason for failure, on the battlefield, our generals can only face the enemy stronger and stronger, this mouth cannot be opened, Yide must implement military law." ”
Zhang Fei jumped up from the couch and saluted, "The host, the military advisor is right, marching and fighting, and good punishment is the consistent practice of the owner, and Fei is willing to accept the leadership staff." ”
Guan Yu stood up and pleaded for Zhang Fei at this time, "Yun Chang thinks that this is wartime, and it is not too late to save Yide's military staff for the future." ”
Sun Ming said as if making a final summary: "Yide, you are arrogant and almost caused a disaster, take thirty military sticks, and wait for the implementation after the war, and reflect on it." ”
