Chapter 69: Changping Asks for Help, the Enemy's Plan

The shaft of the bed crossbow is about to be fired.

The enemy's cavalry suddenly stopped charging, turned and retreated, as if they had come to harass the barracks, and ran away as soon as they showed their faces, without any intention of making a move.

Maybe he was afraid of the bed crossbow, so he didn't dare to rush hard, and he didn't dare to go into the range.

"Cavalry prepare, chase and kill the enemy."

Yang Zhao hesitated for a while and decided to go out to test the enemy's reality.

When they saw the enemy's cavalry, they did not fight, they stopped for a while and turned to run, and if they continued for a long time, it was easy for the enemy to lose their fighting spirit and morale, and even weaken their vigilance.

In the unlikely event that one of the enemy's charges does come, they will be unprepared if their vigilance is weakened, or if the enemy has other plans, they will be delayed for time and will not be able to fight the battle, and they will have to try what the enemy wants to do.

Liu Bei echoed: "Yun Changyide, you also go to battle with your junior brother. ”

The gate of the barracks was opened, and the horses were retreated to both sides, and Yang Zhao first led the Xuanjia elite cavalry to rush out of the camp.

The cavalry led by Guan Zhang and the others quickly followed, and they fought with Yang Zhao's Xuanjia elite cavalry in the last battle, and they ran into each other, and this time they cooperated better.

Catching up with the rear of the enemy, Yang Zhao ordered a cavalry fire, and a row of sharp arrows attacked the rear of the enemy, killing dozens of people first.

The enemy found that Yang Zhao was out of the camp to pursue, and immediately divided a part of the people to break the rear.

When Yang Zhao and their phalanx quickly changed arrows, the cavalry phalanx led by Zhang Fei rushed out from the side and rushed straight towards the enemy's broken cavalry.

"Die!"

In the past few days, Zhang Fei watched the enemy come and run, fight but didn't want to fight, and his character was almost unbearable.

At this moment, he was finally able to fight and kill the enemy, his blood surged up instantly, and the Zhangba snake spear swept through, and several enemy cavalry in close range were knocked down by him on the spot, and the cavalry rushed up, harvested the heads, and quickly retreated.

"Shoot!"

Yang Zhao and the others changed their arrows.

The sharp arrows of the Xuanjia spirit rode rained down on the enemy's rear row.

As soon as the rain of arrows fell, Guan Yu took over Zhang Fei's phalanx.

Tian Yuhe was not idle, and the cavalry melee and cavalry shooting cooperated to kill the enemy.

After they had killed thousands of enemies together, the enemy cavalry in the front row finally found the predicament in the rear, and the leader of the army hurriedly ordered a counterattack.

Thousands of cavalry changed direction again and counterattacked Yang Zhao and them.

"Retreat!"

Yang Zhao did not fall in love.

As soon as the enemy turned back, they immediately returned to the camp, turned around and ran.

The enemy chased them to the vicinity of the camp, fearing that they would be harvested by the bed crossbow, but they did not dare to pursue them too deeply, and finally retreated, completely out of the valley in Yanshan.

Back to camp.

"The enemy has no traps, nor does it deliberately lure the enemy."

After Yang Zhao jumped off his horse, he was a little puzzled: "Since they are afraid of the bed crossbow and dare not attack, why do they continue to provoke in the river valley of Liangxiang?" ”

Jian Yong guessed: "It may be that the enemy wants to delay us near Liangxiang. ”

"It's possible, but what is the enemy doing it for?"

Liu Bei agreed with Jian Yong's statement.

Yang Zhao also felt that the enemy was delaying them by doing so.

But for the time being, I can't imagine what plan is behind the enemy's delay.

"County magistrate, Captain Jiao sent someone to ask for help."

At this time, Fang Rui hurriedly walked in from the back of the camp.

Behind him, there was also a soldier from Changping.

The soldier bowed his hand and said anxiously: "I have seen the commander of Yang County, the enemy gathered tens of thousands of troops to storm the camp in the river valley outside Changping City, we all captains held it for two days, and we were about to be unable to hold it, so we sent me to Liangxiang to ask for help, if Liangxiang has spare troops, please ask Yang County Commander to send troops to support our Changping." ”

"I see!"

After listening to the soldier's words, Yang Zhao suddenly realized: "The enemy is doing this because he wants to gather his forces to attack the Changping River Valley, which is the easiest to attack, and he is worried that we will go to support, so he deliberately delays so as to contain our troops. ”

Liu Bei said fiercely: "Those traitors are really hateful!" ”

Yang Zhao asked, "How many troops are there on Captain Jiao's side?" ”

"Fifteen thousand or so!"

The soldier who came to call for help said.

Han Zhuo gathered the soldiers of Zhuo County as much as he could, and defended Changping, which was the easiest to be broken, for Jiao Touch.

Jiao Touch occupies the terrain and defends it, Zhang Chun and others send troops to attack, and now they can barely hold it, and they dare not guarantee it next.

"Senior brother, the camp here is in charge of you."

"I'll take the cavalry to support Captain Jiaodu, you hold the camp, prepare more tripping ropes, and dig traps outside the camp."

"Use a three-bow bed crossbow, with other traps, and be sure to hold the camp."

"If the enemy comes to provoke, don't go into battle casually."

"Guo Rang and Zijing, gather all the cavalry and go with me!"

Yang Zhao finally said loudly.

Liu Bei understood that Changping could not be lost, and he also knew the seriousness of the situation in Changping, so he patted his heart and promised: "Senior brother, don't worry, hand over this place to me, Yun Chang and Yide, you will also go to help junior brother and kill the enemy!" ”

"Good!"

Guan Zhang and the two said in unison.

The cavalry was soon assembled again.

Under the leadership of the soldier who asked for help, he went straight to the river valley on the other side of Changping.

From Liangxiang to Changping, the straight-line distance is more than 60 miles.

However, they could not walk in a straight line, and had to go around Beacon Mountain, which would take nearly a hundred miles, so they could only gallop on horseback and rush to Changping as soon as possible.

The number of cavalry is much inferior to that of infantry.

Yang Zhao did not let the infantry support because the two legs of the man could not outrun the four legs of the war horse.

The infantry ran more than 100 miles, and when they arrived at Changping, maybe Jiao Touch could no longer support it, and the river valley was lost.

Yang Zhao led the cavalry to run and came to the military camp outside Changping City, in the river valley, it was already evening that day, and it was almost night.

Before they could get closer, they heard the sound of a fight.

The rebels led by Zhang Chun, both Han and Wuhuan, were attacking their camp.

"Stop!"

Yang Zhao raised his hand.

All the cavalry who followed behind stopped at the same time.

"You go back and tell Captain Jiao that I'm coming."

Yang Zhao glanced at the soldier who asked for help, and said: "Yun Chang Yide, you listen to my arrangement, and then you will go around the enemy's rear together, don't fight to the death with the enemy, according to the combat method of the last cooperation, first cut the battlefield, and then harvest the enemy, Yun Chang, you are in a group of two, the country let you work in two, and the four hundred cavalry I led will open the way for you with cavalry and archery." ”

He looked at Guan Yu and the others and asked, "Is it okay?" ”

"It's all up to the county magistrate."

Guan Yu understood that his command ability was far inferior to Yang Zhao's.

Zhang Fei said in a loud voice: "As long as you can kill the enemy, the county magistrate will command it casually." ”

"Good!"

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "I'll go first, and then you will follow, stab the enemy's rear, and save Captain Jiao." ”

"Let's go!"

The crowd shouted.

The four hundred Xuanjia elite cavalry led by Yang Zhao first rushed to the enemy's rear army.

The enemy wanted to storm the camp, and most of the infantry was used, and the main force of the cavalry was not here, which just gave Yang Zhao the opportunity for their cavalry to rush and kill.
