318 The most critical rescue, the arrow of God
In the battle last night, the casualties are not too heavy to describe as heavy.
According to the statistics of the soldiers and horses of the various units, 5,732 people were killed, 3,300 were lightly wounded, and more than 1,600 were seriously wounded.
The number of casualties is more than 10,000.
You know, they are the ambush party, and if they look like this, they can be regarded as losing face.
Of course, it was said to be an ambush, but in fact, it did not have time to dig a ravine or set a trap, at best, it brought a temporary panic to the other party.
The key problem is that the Jiangdong army has not yet been dispatched, and the people who came last night were just thousands of troops, once Sun Ce mobilized all the soldiers and horses in the stockade, this stockade would not be able to withstand their full force.
In the Chinese military tent, Wen Chou sitting on the handsome chair, Yan Liang with injuries, and Lu Su with his hands on his hands all had black faces.
Because the worry just now is not to grow the morale of others, but to really happen.
Liu Ye sent a scout to report urgently, and saw with his own eyes that the Jiangdong soldiers and horses left the camp, and the army stretched to the border, and the direction was towards Huo County, thinking that it was about to attack after converging and resting.
"From Shouchun to Huo County, it is only fifty miles away, according to the footsteps, we can arrive at about one hour tonight, rest all night, and tomorrow whether it is day or night attack, we are."
Wen Chou sighed bitterly, "The prison army, you can't wipe out all the troops, otherwise how can you explain to the Hou Ye, why don't you withdraw to the east." ”
Even militants like Yan Liang didn't open their mouths to refute this time.
"Although Jiangdong didn't bring cavalry, as long as they moved, they would get the news immediately, that is, they didn't want food and grass, so they didn't even care about these wounded soldiers?" Lu Su shook his head.
That's not a few dozen people, it's more than 4,000 people, let the Huainan army abandon so many robes, and there is a possibility that they will not obey the command.
What's more, once this kind of thing is done, you will basically bid farewell to the career of leading soldiers in the future, and no generals will dare to believe you anymore.
"Otherwise, while their army is on the way, after nightfall, we will lead the army to Shouchun, as long as we enter the city, so many soldiers and horses, it will not be a problem to defend to the death, and we will definitely be able to wait for Hou Ye's reinforcements!" After Yan Liang finished speaking, he was happy, and he felt that it was really a stroke of genius.
Even Wen Chou cast an admiring gaze, and then looked at Lu Su with anticipation.
The latter still shook his head, "No one knows how many Jiangdong soldiers there are in the stockade in Shouchun City, if the number exceeds eight thousand, let alone stop us, we can meet in the wilderness and defeat us." ”
As if this was the case, Wen Chou lowered his head indifferently.
Yan Liang gritted his teeth and said: "This can't do this, that can't work, you can't wait for death." ”
"At the moment, Changfeng has not yet been lost, so he can only retreat to Changfeng with a large army, although it is a hundred miles of small Guo, but after all, there is a city defense available, it is a strong attack in Jiangdong, and there is also the power of a battle."
"Changfeng?"
Yan Liang smiled wryly when he heard this, "Prison army, do you know how far Changfeng is from here, more than two hundred miles away, and Changfeng is in the east, didn't you say that once we retreat, these wounded soldiers will slow down our pace?" ”
"Sir, I mean to leave a broken army." Wen Chou asked tentatively.
After receiving Lu Su's affirmative nod, both of them sighed.
In this case, the person who stays behind is clearly a dead end, and he is afraid that he will be helpless to survive with a broken arm.
"If you are injured, take the prison army to withdraw first, and leave me with five no, three thousand people, which will definitely buy one more day for the army, and then Sun Ce will be powerless even if he wants to chase after him." The ugliness of the text is awe-inspiring.
"Jokes."
Yan Liang sneered and said: "If our brother wants to be born together, he will die together, and if he wants to die, he will die together, how can there be a reason for my brother to leave a broken future." ”
"This is a military order!" Wen Chou said solemnly.
"Hehe, you don't come with me for this."
Yan Liang took out a rogue look, sat down directly to the side and said with a smile: "I think I was in the barracks ahead of you at the beginning, when I was a centurion, you were just a team leader, what kind of boss score is here."
If you want to go, you will go together, and if you want to stay, you will stay together. ”
"You"
Wen Chou was choked with anger, and his hands trembled, "Your bullshit lieutenant, disobeyed orders before the war, and I will inform Master Hou when I go back!" ”
I can't be scared at all, okay, Yan Liang still doesn't look like oil and salt, and even hums a little song.
"Prison army, then you will personally lead the army to evacuate, and leave me 3,000 soldiers and horses." Wen Chou is too lazy to take care of the second brother.
Lu Su looked at Wen Chou and muttered, "Eight hundred." ”
"Eight hundred?"
Yan Liang laughed again after hearing this, stood up and said, "Jian Jun, our brothers are not Wen Hou and Zilong, nor Wen Yuan, they are not so capable of fighting. ”
People always have to be more aware of who they are after being beaten by society.
Yan Liang was also a man who looked down on the world and boasted of being invincible.
But he was first educated by Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and then ravaged by Zhao Yun, and then saw the fierceness of Guan Yu's Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, and last night, he was injured by Tai Shici and Dong Xian, he has clearly recognized that in this world, there are still many fierce people, and it is probably difficult for him to rank in the top ten.
"Prison army, these eight hundred, is it a little less?" Wen Chou also wondered.
"But there are only 800 cavalry left in the battalion." Lu Su was also very helpless.
Cavalry alone?
Of course, the cavalry is very strong, but in front of the tens of thousands of troops of the other party, it is too small after all.
What's more, after the break, there must be an ambush, and there is no crossbowman.
When Wen Chou wanted to ask again, Lu Su had already preemptively said: "Please take this team of cavalry and leave here immediately after dark." ”
Lu Su stepped forward and pointed to an open field outside Huo County on the sand table, making Yan Liangwen look dazed, what is this for?
"There is no terrain such as a line of sky in this area, if you wait for Sun Ce to assemble the army, and the 20,000 army will chase and kill, it will be left to the general 5,000 people, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop them for too long."
Last night's battle was the best proof of that.
Moreover, as long as they see the withdrawal of the army, anyone will guess that there will be broken soldiers.
"It's better to lose a son, than to lose a first. Aren't they going to kill tomorrow, please kill the general tonight, ambush in this area, and when the Shouchun Jiangdong army arrives, it will be difficult, and it may be miraculous to kill with cavalry. ”
At this point, Yan Liangwen completely understood what Lu Su meant.
His goal is not to break off, but to buy time for the army, last night's battle, of course, made his side tired, but the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Huo County are not much better, and now, their reliance is on this new force from Shouchun.
Eight hundred cavalry suddenly killed, with their combat strength, they could not achieve Zhang Liao's feat of breaking 30,000 from 800, after all, there is still a gap in combat effectiveness, but they will definitely be able to turn these upside down.
As long as they can be mobilized, it may even cause a stampede and drag them down, so naturally it will be difficult to attack the next day.
Wonderful, this hand took the initiative to attack, it was really beautiful, and even Yan Liangwen felt that this was the only way to get out of the way, even if he agreed with both hands.
"Okay, Prison Army, we can go out and make arrangements!"
After the two left, Lu Su sat on the handsome chair and worked hard to write.
He was going to withdraw, and he was fleeing for his life, and he might not even dare to bring grain and grass, so he must reply to Liu Ye.
After all, if you go, Shouchun will be defeated, maybe there are still thousands of people in the village, but if you break through comprehensively, you can always run out of some people.
In August, the moonlight shines brightly, and once you get used to this brightness, the naked eye can actually see that the distance can be two or three hundred steps.
The 15,000 Jiangdong army advanced mightily in the direction of Huo County.
The general who opened the way was Chen Wu, the one who pressed the formation was Jiang Qin, and the one behind the palace was Ding Feng.
The three of them are all leaders in the younger generation, and they are all among the twelve tiger generals of Jiangbiao, both in terms of personal combat strength and leading ability.
In fact, at this stage, purely in terms of middle-level military generals, these people in Jiangdong are actually not inferior to Lu Ying.
Of course, there are many who died at the hands of Lu Jun, such as Ma Zhong, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao and others, who are actually good middle-level generals.
At this time, the speed of the army was very slow, and after a day's journey, it was difficult to hide the fatigue.
The good news is that it is only a dozen miles away from Huo County, so you can have a good rest when you enter the city, and the soldiers can also have a full meal.
It was at this time that Chen Wu, the leader, frowned, raised his hand and looked to the right, and by the bright moonlight, he suddenly saw a group of cavalry rushing towards him.
The number of people is not large, but their appearance is too inappropriate, Chen Wu shouted: "Enemy attack, prepare for war quickly!" ”
The hearts of the soldiers sank, and they quickly ran to the nearest ordnance car to get armor and knives, and the formation was scattered for a while.
At the right time, Yan Liangwen and Chou were both in front, with only 800 cavalry, and in the vast sea of people, there was obviously no need to divide the team.
Like a sharp knife, they cut through the dragon-like march straight through the middle.
As soon as the two entered the battle, they threw their swords and guns wildly, shouted the military order that would never die, and rushed over like a chopping wave, leaving a bloody open space in an instant.
Although the Jiangdong Army's formation was in chaos, they did not dare to stay in the ranks, but only used the momentum of the war horse charge to maximize the damage, after all, the opponent was numerous, and once it was surrounded, the crowd tactics could drown themselves.
By the time they rushed out of a distance and turned their horses' heads, the morale of the Jiangdong Army had dropped significantly.
Although they didn't shout their names, or even Da Xu, anyone could guess that what could appear at this time must be Yan Liangwen Chou, and only they had cavalry.
It's incredible, during the day, Cheng Pu really told them that Lu Jundazhai was beaten by them last night, and Yan Liang was even seriously injured, this won't be to stimulate fighting spirit, right?
Moreover, the terrain is so open that it is simply the main battlefield of the cavalry, and normal people will be timid at this moment.
Jiang Qin, who was sitting in the Chinese army, immediately hissed: "There are not many enemy troops, don't scatter, gather in formation, gather quickly!" ”
The cavalry is definitely a dimensionality reduction blow in the face of scattered foot soldiers, on the contrary, when they are gathered together, it is possible to block a part of the cavalry, so as to encircle and suppress.
When he turned his horse's head and charged again, whether it was Yan Liang or the cavalry behind him, excitement appeared in his eyes.
At first, everyone was thinking of fighting to the death, but after a round of charging just now, it was found that these guys were not as powerful as they imagined, and it was also possible that they came yesterday to be the most elite Jiangdong Army.
Either way, their faith came up.
It was another round of rushing and killing, and Jiang Qin ordered to gather in formation, but after all, it was not a matter of words, and there were still many people in armor.
Armor is the second life of a soldier, and if you don't put it on, you will always lack confidence in it.
Shengsheng was killed by Yan Liangwen and Chou for two circles, and the Jiangdong sergeant put on his battle armor, but the formation had been cut into several pieces, and the chaos was a little unusual.
"Zilie, Chengyuan, quickly join me!" Seeing these guys rushing and killing unscrupulously in the army, Jiang Qin couldn't stop them alone, and he barely killed a cavalryman under the blow just now.
If this trend continues, more than 10,000 people will be overturned by these hundreds of cavalry.
If you want to stabilize as quickly as possible, you must call Chen Wu and Ding Feng, and the three of them can fight together, and at the same time, if the three of them are there, the confidence of the soldiers will be even stronger.
"Don't panic, Chen Zilie is here!"
"Ding Chengyuan is here, the thief army dares to fight!"
The two rode their horses from one end to the other, and soon gathered together following Jiang Qin's voice.
At this time, Jiang Qin once again ordered to gather in formation, and the soldiers were obviously not as flustered as at the beginning, and the open terrain also helped them invisibly.
If it is a glimmer of sky or a narrow passage, it is often difficult to take care of the end and the end, and the people behind do not know what is happening in front of them, nor do they know how many enemy troops there are, so they are directly afraid and flee.
But it's different here, even though it's night, you can still roughly judge the number of each other under the moonlight.
In addition, the other party is all cavalry, no one dares to run, their killing and injury of scattered foot soldiers is too terrifying, and they have a chance to survive when they get together.
This group of poor ghosts, the cavalry doesn't have it, and they still know a lot about how to deal with the cavalry, Yan Liang watched them gather in formation, and he was angry for no reason, if you do this, how can I kill the enemy!
Puff puff!
Aiming at a smaller phalanx, Yan Liangwen killed the past with a knife and gun, and the long knife slashed to knock the three people away, and the soul breaking gun left blood holes in Jiangdong Jun's body.
The main general tore open, and the sound of armor breaking and wounds could be heard as the cavalry behind him rushed through.
They broke through a phalanx from the middle, but at the same time, the slower twenty or so cavalry were surrounded and could not rush out.
The Jiangdong army gathered like ants, and in the sonorous sound of gold, the cavalry was dragged off their horses by them.
"Quick! The sergeant who knows how to ride quickly gets on the horse! In the other phalanx, Chen Wu shouted.
Jiangdong's geographical location is one aspect, poverty is also one aspect, there are really not many people who know how to ride, more than 20 war horses in the phalanx of more than 300 people, there is no end, only a dozen people rode up.
It was still someone from another phalanx who ran to get on the horse, and the division was completed.
At this time, Chen Wu, Ding Feng and Jiang Qin were in the same phalanx, watching the other party come back again, and they were helpless to break the other phalanx.
Although they have war horses, if they want to block each other, they can only rely on them to choose their own phalanx, and the three of them join forces unexpectedly, so that they can only watch wreak havoc in front of them.
"Happy!" I don't know how many back and forth he killed, Yan Liang became more and more courageous the more he fought, and his adrenaline soared so much that he didn't feel the wound burst.
"Almost!" Wen Chou gasped, he had already killed no less than twenty people back and forth, and the corpses of the Jiangdong Army were everywhere on the ground, and he was afraid that there would be no less than 2,000 enemies.
Moreover, Wen Chou also clearly realized that every charge would leave a part of the cavalry, more than dozens, and when there were few, there were seven or eight, and there were only about five hundred cavalry left behind him.
"Brother, morale is like a rainbow, don't be afraid, don't toss them miserably, how to buy time for the prison army?"
Wen Chou's eyebrows sank, thinking about it, the group of wounded soldiers under his command was too slow, and they must be killed and injured enough. ”
Chen Wu and the others are also patient enough, even if Yan Liangwen Chou did not pursue in the phalanx not far from him, this time, looking at their route, it is obvious that they are coming towards themselves.
The three exchanged glances, and Ding Feng was the first to speak, "The one with the big knife." ”
"Good!"
Yan Liang rushed forward and swept across with a knife.
Jiang Qin on the far left blocked with a knife, his arm was numb, and his weapon was almost out of his hand, if it weren't for Chen Wu's spear to stab Yan Liang immediately, allowing him to collect his momentum, Jiang Qin almost lost his weapon as soon as he closed it.
In fact, among the twelve tiger generals, Jiang Qin faced Guan Yu, who was defeated in Maicheng, and was defeated in only three rounds, and his martial arts were really not top-notch.
But Chen Wu still has some level, and under one shot, Yan Liang, who is in a charging situation, can only parry with an iron bridge.
Ding Feng took the opportunity to slash at the neck of Yan Liang's war horse, Yan Liang reacted very quickly and leaned up to lift the knife to unload the force, and at the same time, the speed also decreased.
They fancy this opportunity, and the three of them ignored everything else, and directly surrounded Yan Liang and pressed him.
After Wen Chou rushed to kill the phalanx, he realized that Yan Liang was trapped in the formation, and immediately turned his horse and raised his gun to fight back, "Don't hurt my brother!" ”
The main general left, and the cavalry behind him could only hurry to follow.
Yan Liang was already injured, and he was beaten by three twelve tiger generals, if it wasn't for Wen Chou's timely appearance, it was only a matter of time before he died.
But this rush up to relieve the siege also made the speed of the cavalry completely lost, and the surrounding Jiangdong troops saw that they had not been able to break through for a long time, and immediately swarmed around.
"Brother, let's go!" Yan Liang desperately brandished the gold-backed knife, seeing that the Jiangdong Army around him was gathering like a tide, he just wanted Wen Chou to escape.
"Nonsense, if you want to die, you will die!" With Wen Chou's position, he could indeed rush out, but how could he give up Yan Liang.
The world only knows that Taoyuan has three righteousness, swearing to live and die together, in fact, the text is ugly and good, and the love and righteousness can also face life and death.
"Kill it!" Yan Liang was stabbed in the back again, and even the front hooves of the war horse were stabbed, and blood was pooled.
Xu is strong will to survive burst potential, or it may be that he does not want to be dragged down by Wen Chou, Yan Liang desperately rushed towards the weakest flank of the Jiangdong Army.
On the side, Wen Chou also responded in time.
Finally tore a hole in the encirclement.
The two escaped, but the cavalry behind them only followed less than twenty horsemen.
"Quick! Evacuate! ”
Chen Wu and the others would not let go easily, and rushed over with the one hundred and ten people who had snatched the war horse, and the number was still increasing, because more and more people stepped on the war horse to follow.
Under the moonlight, Yan Liangwen Chou fled east with eighteen horsemen.
The three tigers of Jiangdong followed with a hundred horsemen behind them, but there was a steady stream of people catching up in the distance, including cavalry and infantry.
I don't know how long I ran, at the foot of a mountain, Yan Liang's front hooves of the war horse were broken, and one person and one horse rolled to the ground.
"Quick, get on the horse!" Wen Chou hurriedly jumped off the war horse to help.
Yan Liang looked at the wound on his war horse, knowing that it had done its best, so he pushed Wen Chou away, "You go quickly!" Take me with you, no one can go! ”
"Fuck your mother's fart, if you want to die, you'll die together, quick!" Wen Chou dragged Yan Liang to death.
But now, it's too late.
Chen Wu, Jiang Qin, and Ding Feng surrounded them, and more than 100 people blocked them at the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Qin sneered and immediately pointed his knife at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, "No matter the two of you, who is Yan Liang and who is Wen Chou, if you want to surrender to my lord, you can spare you and not die!" ”
Yan Liangwen is the general of the Lu army, and whoever can take them down is enough to move the world, especially the three of them, who need such a big future to make a name for themselves.
Therefore, Jiang Qin is naturally a little floating.
Originally, it was just to bring reinforcements, who would have thought that it would send two generals of the Lu army.
After taking them down, don't say that Shouchun is over, who in the whole Huainan is not afraid? It's a good thing.
"Hahaha"
Yan Liang stroked the violently killed war horse, looked at the blood on his hands and laughed, "Wen Yuan, I'm afraid I'll never be able to catch up with you!" ”
Then he looked at Wen Chou and said with a smile, "Brother, it's really worth it to be a brother with you in this life, we can go on the road together, and we will continue to be brothers in the next life." ”
After Wen Chou helped him up, the Soul Breaker Gun was pinched under his arm and pointed at Jiang Qin, and sneered: "Sun Ce? Unworthy. ”
"Piff!" Hearing this, Jiang Qin was furious and slashed at Wen Chou with a swing of his knife.
Sou~
In the shadows not far from the foot of the mountain.
An arrow suddenly appeared from the darkness and pierced Jiang Qin's head impartially.
Jiang Qin is wearing a tasseled helmet.
Under such dark conditions, such a divine shot, except for Wen Hou and Zilong, in Yan Liangwen's ugly heart, there is no third person, right?
Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene and was speechless.
"Gongyi!" It wasn't until Jiang Qin rolled straight off the horse that Chen Wu and Ding Feng screamed.
"What kind of person, Hugh releases the dark arrow, brothers, kill me, avenge Gongyi!"
Alas, Guan Yu didn't dig the pit in a day, I clearly wrote it very clearly, don't spray me because of this.
Also, Yan Liang is dealing with Tai Shici and Dong Xi at the same time, and he is so tired, it is really normal that he can't fight.
