Chapter 742: The Battle of the Yin Tomb
What is a handsome talent?
The trader is also.
Liu Jian relied on Guan Yu and Liu Bei and appointed them as the generals of the town guard, in addition to Liu Jian's trust in Liu Bei and Guan Yu's loyalty, but also because Liu Bei and Guan Yu were indeed handsome and talented people.
Cao Cao did the same with Zhou Yu.
In history, Zhou Yu was not narrow-minded, he was a real celebrity, but because of the lack of longevity, he failed to shine widely.
If Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others came in person, Zhou Yu wanted to defeat them, but he was afraid that it would be quite difficult.
But now, the other party is Gongsun Zhan, who is too deep and has the heart of an arrogant soldier.
Zhou Yu believes that he has enough ability to deal with him and has absolute control over the situation.
He instructed the defenders of the Yin Tomb that if they found that the other side was attacking the Yin Tomb, he would immediately lead his troops and horses to cut off Gongsun Zhan's retreat.
"Gongsun will attack this place within ten days, you just hold on, don't doubt him, wait for me to burn arrows and shoot the opponent's rear army, you can command the soldiers and horses to kill by night, and you should win a complete victory!"
After the Yin Tomb guard said that he would act according to the plan, Zhou Yu left with confidence.
And things turned out to be as Zhou Yu expected, Gongsun Chan attacked Yin Tomb at night!
However, the Yinling guards had already prepared, and countless crossbowmen were arranged in the dangerous places of the county seat.
But at the moment of attacking the city, countless torches suddenly rose in the county, reflecting the battlefield as if it were day.
After seeing this frightened scene, the scout immediately reported the matter to Gongsun Zhan.
After Gongsun Zan learned the news, he was excited for a while, and immediately personally led Bai Ma Yi's army to attack Yinling from the rear.
Don't look at his white horse Yicong is a cavalry, but the training of soldiers is indeed very comprehensive, once he turns over and dismounts, he can also become a ground warrior who is longer than land battles.
However, Zhou Yu's design is obviously not so simple.
As soon as the Bai Ma Yi army in the rear of Gongsun Chan moved, his rear army was attacked by the main force of Zhou Yu, who had been premeditated.
And most of the baggage of Gongsun Zhan's army was in the rear army, which was pulled by the team of horses.
As soon as the rear army's team was attacked, the news reached the front, and Gongsun Chan was so distraught at this moment that he almost fell off his horse.
Most of his troops were cavalry, and the daily rations of men and horses were very large.
But at the same time, he is still an army running along the way, and most of his baggage along the way is claimed or levied along the way, but the number cannot be too much!
Now once there is a crisis in the rear of the horse team, then the army under his command will immediately fall into the crisis of running out of food.
I am afraid that within three days, it will collapse without a fight.
Almost instantly, Gongsun Zhan's heart made a choice.
Anyway, the current situation on the battlefield is not in its favor, and it is better to retreat early.
After making a decision in his heart, Gongsun Chan immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw from the army.
When the sharp sound of gold sounded, the army on Gongsun Zhan's side was like being amnestied.
Because the Yin Tomb is now very tightly defended, their side has suffered heavy losses.
The army under the command of Gongsun Chan had already had the intention of retreating in their hearts, but it was only because the overseer team composed of Gongsun Zhan's personal soldiers was eyeing behind them that the soldiers continued to fight.
Now that Gongsun Chan finally gave the order to retreat, the soldiers who were physically and mentally exhausted immediately took advantage of the high mobility of their war horses to quickly withdraw from the battlefield one after another, and fled without looking back.
Now that the rear grain team has been attacked, the morale has plummeted, and although Gongsun Zhan's army has taken the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield, it has actually become a rout.
Under such circumstances, Gongsun Chan could only watch as the soldiers under his command fled in all directions in an orderly manner.
It's just that now that the rear is in an emergency, Gongsun Chan can't manage so much, and everything is focused on returning to the army in time first.
In order to ensure that the thousands of cavalry under his command could retreat quickly, Gongsun Chan could only personally lead the elite soldiers under his command to cut off the rear for them.
Fortunately, these thousands of white horse Yicong have followed Gongsun for many years and have a lot of experience in battle.
After some fighting, Gongsun Chan finally led his troops to withdraw.
Just when Gongsun Chan was not relieved, he saw that in the direction of his retreat, there were thousands of soldiers and horses killing him.
The general at the head of the war is the general of Cao Jun.
Gongsun Chan was concerned about the safety of the rear, and he held back the idea of continuing to compete with the enemy.
He led his cavalry under his command, quickly following the pace of the friendly troops in front of him, and hurried towards the rear.
Seeing this, Yu Ban was not in a hurry to catch up.
He called in his men and left some infantry to clean up the battlefield.
Then he led the elite under his command and pursued in the direction where Gongsun Chan fled.
Zhou Yu made all kinds of plans tonight in order to capture Gongsun Zhan, and now of course he will not fall short.
In the process of running, people's potential will be infinitely stimulated.
Looking from above the Yin Tomb, I saw thousands of horsemen galloping towards the east, much faster than when they came.
At such a speed, even if the army under the command of Yu Ban was also elite, but for a while, it couldn't catch up with them.
Most of the current Bai Ma Yi soldiers are holding torches, otherwise most of them have night blindness, and it is estimated that most of them will have to escape.
Under the rapid gallop, these white horse righteous soldiers soon came to the place of the rear army.
At this moment, the grain transportation team of the rear army has been killed and dispersed by the Cao army, but fortunately, the baggage and horses and horses of the grain transportation have not all been robbed by the other party.
Gongsun Zhan's army hurriedly rushed up to check their own grain, they were anxious at the moment, and when they came back, it was unimpeded, so they didn't think much about it.
Just rushed over at such a rapid pace.
Gongsun Zhan, who was behind these thousands of cavalry, was shocked when he saw this scene!
Although he had the heart to stop it, it was too late.
At this moment, the mountains on both sides were suddenly illuminated by the two armies, and above the mountains, the golden drums sounded in unison, and the fire was all over the sky.
Countless soldiers dressed in Cao Jun's uniforms appeared from the mountains and forests, and they were densely spread on the mountains on both sides!
Immediately after, the rocket took off into the air and shot towards the grain and grass!
In addition, there were countless arrows shot at the army of the White Horse Yoshiko.
This earth-shattering change made Gongsun Chan and the others suddenly appear chaotic.
The fire and their bows and arrows drove them to the left and right.
Because of the crowding, many soldiers were squeezed off their horses by their comrades, and then trampled on the ground by countless war horses.
For a while, wails and screams kept ringing out.
While the opponent's bow and arrow were shooting, he heard a group of Huainan Cao soldiers shouting:
"Gongsun will not descend at this time, but when!"
"Gongsun will not descend at this time, but when!"
The shouts of the soldiers soon reached Gongsun Zhan's ears.
Gongsun Zhan's face was full of shame, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
At the same time, Zhou Yu began to send Dong Raid, Le Jin and others used bows and crossbows and fire to kill and wound the enemy, and at the same time used elites to raid the scattered enemy formations.
Although Gongsun Zhan had the intention to save this push, the situation was already chaotic, and he no longer had the ability to organize soldiers and horses to launch a counterattack smoothly.
What's more, starting from tonight, first the defeat in the capture of Yinling, then the interception of his own grain, and then the ambush of the return rescue, all the things that caused Gongsun Zhan's side to lose morale!
In this case, what's the point of shopping?
"A certain crisscrossing the north, fighting with Hu Lu all the year round, I can't imagine that I will be defeated by Xiaoxiao today!"
Gongsun Chan was inexplicably grieved, and then picked up his sword and wanted to kill himself.
At the critical moment, Sima Weidun and Cheng Xu, who saw his other subordinates, hurriedly said to him:
"Don't be like this, general!"
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! The general is a famous general in the north, and he can't talk about life and death lightly, once the general is defeated, he will inevitably rub the morale of our army! ”
"I'm willing to fight to the death to keep the general back!"
After that, the two didn't care whether Gongsun Chan agreed or not, and then protected Gongsun Chan and rushed to the north to kill.
However, someone had already come to intercept Gongsun Zhan's retreat.
It's Lejin!
Le Jin took refuge under Cao Cao, and over the years he moved to Jiangdong with him, and in the war against Shanyue, he made several achievements and became famous in the Southern Army.
He is the first to go in every battle, and he is already famous!
At that moment, I saw Le Jin holding a spear and leading an elite army to come from the rear and intercept Gongsun Zhan's retreat.
"Gongsun Zhan, don't get off the horse and be bound quickly! Do you really have to wait for your father to pull you off his horse before you are willing to be killed? ”
Gongsun Chan couldn't help but be furious when he saw this: "No name, you dare to be presumptuous!" ”
Weidun hurriedly said: "The general doesn't want to fight, I'll stop this person!" ”
Subsequently, he and Cheng Xu led the crowd to rush forward and fight with Le Jin to find a way out for Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Zhan saw that the two Simas, who had been fighting with him for a long time in the north, were desperately opening a way for themselves to live at this moment, and his face was full of tears.
He gritted his teeth, whipped his horsewhip hard, and hurried towards the north!
Le Jin was not in a hurry, he commanded the soldiers and horses to fight with Weidun and Cheng Xu, and he himself fought vertically and horizontally, and was invincible.
Over the years, Le Jin as the vanguard of pacifying the southern Shanyue, widely credited, in the Cao army, he beheaded, the largest number of prisoners, in the Cao army is famous for bravery.
In the midst of the battle, Le Jin looked for an opportunity unhurriedly, pulled out a feather arrow, and shot an arrow into the throat of the tail pier, killing him!
"Brother Tail!"
Seeing that his best friend died at the hands of Le Jin, Cheng Xu was inexplicably sad in his heart, and he roared angrily at Le Jin: "Thief, return my brother's life!" ”
Le Jin waved his hand, and then ordered his own soldiers to catch up, and he didn't use his own hands at all, and between Sumeru, he cut Cheng Xu and his personal guards into pulp.
Looking at the two Simas from Youzhou who died in his hands, Le Jin's face showed a somewhat sarcastic smile.
"Everyone says that there are many fierce generals and brave people in the Northern Army, and I look at it today, but Er'er, they are all useless, such characters can also go into battle as generals? It seems that Gongsun Chan is just a vain name! ”
After that, Le Jin immediately beckoned his soldiers: "Follow me!" Capture Gongsun Chan and raise the prestige of our army! ”
"Capture Gongsun Chan alive!"
"Capture Gongsun Chan alive!"
With a high-pitched shout, a group of people rushed towards the opposite side with the music.
……
When Cheng Xu and Weidun were killed, although Gongsun Chan was on the run, he knew in his heart that his two subordinates would definitely not be able to escape this time.
As soon as he thought of this, tears flowed from Gongsun Zhan's eyes.
At this moment, his heart was really full of remorse.
As a pioneer, although the journey was smooth, at the critical moment, he caused such huge losses to the army because of his own mistakes......
His heart is like a knife, and now Gongsun Chan hates to kill himself a thousand times.
What's the matter, as Weidun and others said, if the current Gongsun Chan dies, it will greatly shake his morale.
Even if he died, he couldn't die on the front line, and even if he asked Liu Jian to behead him, Gongsun Zhan couldn't boost Cao Jun's morale out of thin air.
But obviously, there are still people who don't want Gongsun Chan to escape smoothly.
"Gongsun Chan is gone!"
As shouts came from behind, Gongsun Chan hurriedly turned his head to look.
What was reflected in his eyes was the elite Cao army led by Le Jin.
Seeing that Lejin's soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer to him, Gongsun Chan couldn't help but grit his teeth angrily.
"This Cao Jiang is really deceiving people too much!"
After that, Gongsun Zhan wanted to turn the military situation around and go back to fight the other party.
But Guan Jing, who was under Gongsun Zhan, hurriedly stopped him.
"General, going back at this time is no different from asking for death!"
"Does the general want to ignore the sacrifice of the two Simas and waste his life?"
Guan Jing's words reminded Gongsun Zhan, and he gritted his teeth to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and then ordered his sergeants to continue to withdraw north.
Le Jin and the others saw that Gongsun Chan did not stop, and then frowned.
Le Jin thought about it in his heart, and then he ordered someone to shout loudly: "Gongsun Zhan's life, the guts of the rats, how can he think of it!" ”
"Gongsun Zhan's life, no guts rats, how can he be!"
"Gongsun Zhan's life, no guts rats, how can he be!"
“……”
The shouts of the Cao soldiers naturally reached Gongsun Zhan's ears.
He himself is a high-minded and arrogant person, and he thinks very highly of himself in his life, and now when he hears such sarcastic words, he can't help but fill his heart with anger, and his chest is full of stuffiness.
"General, hold on, hold on!" Guan Jing on the side persuaded hard.
"Southern thieves, dare to be like this!?"
Gongsun Chan roared angrily, but after all, he still didn't turn around and fight with Le Jin.
After all, he still knows what is most important.
But at this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced the air!
Guan Jing on the side was still persuading Gongsun Zhan.
"General, please bear with me for a while......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw that the sharp arrow suddenly hit the back of Guan Jing's neck!
Guan Jing opened his eyes and looked at Gongsun Chan in front of him with a frightened expression, and then saw his body fall to the side and fall heavily.
"Close ......"
Gongsun Chan exclaimed, and before he could say his name, he saw that Guan Jing had disappeared from his eyes.
Behind him, the soldiers of the Cao army had already caught up, galloping and firing arrows, and began to clean up and strangle the remnants of Gongsun Zhan.
Le Jin and other cavalry took the lead, rushed into Gongsun Zhan's rear army, and began a bloody massacre.
"Ahh
Gongsun Chan roared angrily, only to feel dizzy for a while, and almost fell off the horse.
Fortunately, it was the people next to him who hurried over to hold him up.
It was at this moment that a trumpet suddenly sounded in front of me.
The sound of the horn was so fast and fast that it could almost break through the sky!
The remnants of Gongsun Zhan's command were overjoyed when they heard the sound of the horn.
Because they know that this horn sound is a unique horn sound in Youzhou!
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Reinforcements, it's our reinforcements!"
"Who's coming?"
When the sergeants heard the familiar sound of the horn, they couldn't help but cheer.
And at this moment, under the expectant gaze of a group of soldiers.
Holding the Qinglong Glaive Knife and wearing Xuan Armor, Guan Yu rode towards the direction where Gongsun Chan was attacked!
On the other side, Le Jin shouted loudly: "No matter who comes to help, Gongsun Zhan will definitely die tonight, don't be afraid, soldiers, follow me to be the first!" ”
