Chapter 10 Cutting the Thunder and Destroying the Vanguard

Zhang Fei's courage is commendable, but his military disadvantage is still very obvious.

Lei Bo had more than 1,000 riders, while Zhang Fei had less than 200 riders.

Even if there were more than 1,000 Xuzhou troops in Haixi County, they responded according to the request. But Mi Fang couldn't pull out the whole army, and he had to leave a part of the city to defend the city.

At most, pull out half, then there are only six or seven hundred people, and they are all infantry.

Two hundred cavalry and six hundred infantry in ambush in advance against more than 1,000 pure cavalry, this disadvantage is not ordinary.

However, although the number of disadvantage is large, there is still a need to fight-

The timing of Lei Bo's appearance is too unfortunate, if he bites all the way to the city, will the defenders at the head of the city dare to open the door and let Zhang Fei in? Aren't you afraid to take advantage of the chaos to seize the door?

Moreover, if Mi Fang had already sent someone to meet according to the agreement, his troops were mostly infantry, and it was impossible to regret it when he was in battle.

Because they ran much slower than the cavalry, they were all done when they were entangled.

There are some things that there is no turning back when you open the bow, and even if you find that the enemy is larger than expected in the end, you can only resist it to the end.

Things have come to this point, everything Zhuge Jin can do has been done, and the follow-up can only depend on the performance of Zhang Fei and others.

Staying here with him and Mi Zhu would only add to the chaos, so a few people brought a few guards to escort their families to speed up and let Zhang Fei behind.

After rushing all the way to the city gate, Mi Zhu was in a hurry to reveal his identity, the Haixi guards knew him, and the rear army was indeed at least five miles away from the city wall, so the guards immediately opened the door and let these dozens of people in.

And Zhuge Jin vaguely heard the shouting of killing in the distance behind him, and it seemed that Zhang Fei, Mi Fang and Lei Bo had already killed in one place.

……

At the same time, a few miles west of Haixi City, on the side of a riverside fruit forest.

The Yuan Shu cavalry of more than 1,000 people, with bright armor and shiny weapons, was extremely magnificent in military appearance.

Under the banner of the word "thunder" in the front army, a general with a face full of flesh and rough skin, riding on a tall horse, wearing iron armor and swords, is Lei Bo.

In order to pursue Zhuge Jin and his party, he has been running wild for a whole day, and he is quite sleepy at the moment, but his spirit is still high - because he knows that as long as he catches up with the enemy in front of him, he will be able to make a big profit, and there are countless financial and military achievements!

There was also a horse next to Lei Bo, and a captive was tied to the horse's back, which was none other than Shiren.

It turned out that after the two teams parted ways in the morning, only an hour and a half later, Shiren's fleet was discovered by Lei Bo, who was rushing along the Huai River to search.

Most of the sailors under Shiren's command chose to abandon the ship immediately and jump into the water to escape, or desperately lean the boat into the reeds on the north shore and then go ashore to escape.

But because Shiren was always afraid of death, he didn't listen to the advice of his subordinates when driving the boat, he always wore armor, and he had to take off his armor before diving.

After this delay, Lei Bo's army shot with bows and arrows on the south bank, wounded his hands and feet, fell to the ground, and was finally captured.

After Lei Bo succeeded, he searched the abandoned boats, and found that there was no gold or silver, so he couldn't help but be furious, so he tortured Shiren.

Shiren is not a hard bone. Coupled with today's arrangement, he became more and more resentful of Zhuge Jin.

As soon as Lei Bo tortured him a few times, he confessed Zhuge Jin's escape route, and said that there was a huge rich Mi Zhu in the team.

Hearing that the prey was so fat, Lei Bo was of course more and more overjoyed.

Especially when he found out from Shiren's mouth that Zhang Fei's troops were less than 200 people, he suddenly felt that he could do it.

He has more than 1,000 horsemen, killed 200 guards, and gained military merits, and he can capture a huge rich man like Mi Zhu, get his accompanying property, and maybe even extort a large ransom......

If this kind of thing is not worth dying, what else is worth dying?

So Lei Bo did not hesitate to chase after him, and did not give the soldiers a lunch break along the way.

They set off more than half an hour later than Zhang Fei, and they wasted some time chasing a fork in the road.

And Lei Bojun's total mileage is at least thirty miles farther than Zhang Fei.

With less time and more travel, is there any other choice than to run for your life?

Lei Bojun chased wildly from Chenshi to the first moment of Shenshi, all the soldiers were hungry, and some of the war horses were about to foam, so they finally caught up with Zhang Fei in the west of Haixi County.

As for why Zhang Fei slowed down in advance and deliberately let him catch up, Lei Bo, who was stunned by Li Lingzhi, couldn't notice it at all.

He has only prey in his eyes:

"Brethren! Grit your teeth again! Do you see the pile of guys in front of you, they are all carrying the valuable property shipped by Liu Bei's fleet, and there are Xuzhou super-rich people like Mi Zhu who can be captured! Rush! Whoever grabs it counts! ”

"Kill!" Countless cavalry of the Yuan army, who were stunned by Lei Bo's promise, were red in the eye, and launched the final rush despite the exhaustion of physical strength.

……

Seeing Lei Bo charge,

Zhang Fei, who had already begun to slow down his horse and recover his horsepower several miles in advance, of course wanted to turn back immediately.

However, he was still calm, and remembered the two sentences that Zhuge Jin had just said before he separated from him and hurriedly explained at the end:

When Lei Bo pursues him, he can pretend that "he has too much weight to escape, and he has to temporarily abandon his belongings" to further strengthen Lei Bo's heart to underestimate the enemy.

Anyway, Mi Zhu brought a lot of property this time, and he can pick some relatively worthless ones to scatter.

To put it bluntly, this trick has no gold content, isn't it just throwing money in front of the battle to mess with the enemy, and in history, Wen Chou was also killed by Cao Cao like this.

Zhuge Jin saw a lot, so he borrowed it casually and added a layer of insurance.

Zhang Fei, who had just survived the catastrophe, was still very persuasive, and he strictly implemented this order.

So the riverside road next to the Huainan fruit forest in the west of Haixi City was sprinkled with copper coins and silk all the way.

Lei Bo's troops were already sprinting, and seeing Zhang Fei suddenly speeding up and fleeing, and scattering his belongings, it really strengthened the pride in their hearts.

Countless cavalry slowed down, trying to pick up something valuable, and more than a thousand horsemen suddenly became a mess.

Lei Bo realized that something was wrong, desperately restrained the troops, and also drew a horse chopping knife to kill two particularly disagreeable subordinates, but how could he restrain the military discipline in a hurry.

Just when a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, Zhang Fei on the opposite side finally stopped and suddenly turned back to kill.

Two hundred horsemen shouted in unison, lined up in strict formation, and dragged into a sharp wedge-shaped formation along the narrow battlefield of the Nanlin and Beihe rivers.

The sharp cone of the wedges is Zhang Fei himself.

"Don't take anything for yourself! Hurry up and meet the enemy! Lei Bo was in a hurry and tried his best to restrain the soldiers, but unfortunately it was too late.

Lei Bo saw a fierce general with a beard and a black face, and he was unstoppable towards him, so he had to meet it in person, and urged his own soldiers to besiege him together.

"Puff looking for death! Huoshan Lei Bo is here! Lei Bo roared, raised his saber and slashed at Zhang Fei.

When the two horses were staggered, the two powerful weapons intersected violently, and there was a loud bang.

Lei Boman can rely on the momentum to sink down, cut off the opponent's blade, or at least cut off the opponent's finger.

Who knew that Zhang Fei was faster than him, and when the blades were about to intersect, he shook the shaft of the spear violently, and struck sideways on the blade of the slasher, and in an instant, a huge force swept away the thunderous blade.

Lei Bo only felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, his arm was sore, and he could barely grasp the blade, and suddenly the door was wide open.

In his trance, Zhang Fei's snake spear had already swung back and went straight to the door of Lei Bomian.

"Won't his hands be numb if he sprints like this?!" Lei Bo was in a trance and felt that he couldn't understand for a while, and tried his best to block back,

But the sour arm didn't obey the call, and in the end, it only slightly deviated Zhang Fei's blade, and was still stabbed in the shoulder socket by a spear, and one of his right arms was suddenly stabbed off the shoulder.

In the midst of Lei Bo's miserable howl, Zhang Fei quickly pulled out the snake spear and made up another move, completely killing him.

Lei Bo, who was bravely ranked number one in Liu Xun's army, was only attacked by Zhang Fei in three consecutive moves, and was killed on the spot.

This is not Lei Bocai, but he has been running hungry for a whole day, and his physical strength is estimated to be only three or four percent of his peak state.

Although Zhang Fei's physical strength has also decreased, after all, he has taken a lunch break and eaten lunch, at least he can have seventy percent of his strength at his peak.

Three moves to kill the enemy, it seems fierce, but it is actually reasonable.

"Captain Leidu!" The Yuan Jun's personal soldiers next to him all exclaimed, and their morale was furious.

"Yanren Zhang Fei is here, and he is tired of coming here to die under the spear!"

Zhang Fei shouted violently, but his subordinates were not slow at all, and the snake spear swept left and right, sweeping a few thunderous guards off their horses.

The deceased were left with a terrible wound on their chests, long and twisted, cut and torn, and the death was terrifying.

The cavalry of the Yuan army next to him finally couldn't withstand the continuous psychological impact. As soon as this breath was released, the sequelae of galloping and chasing horses all day long completely broke out.

Countless frightened soldiers suddenly felt that their hands and feet were sore, and they were powerless to resist in the face of the enemy of tigers and wolves.

In addition, there are some robes in the back row who didn't react at all, and they are still robbing property.

This kind of chaos formed a fatal blow to the cavalry of the Yuan army who were pushed in the front row.

When Zhang Fei stabbed to death more than ten Yuan cavalry with his own hands like a mad tiger, the enemy next to him finally cracked like a wave, and retreated in a panic.

The 180 cavalry under Zhang Fei's command had high morale and followed him to the death.

Although their physical strength was also extremely exhausted, seeing Zhang Fei slashing into battle, everyone felt that a potential suddenly appeared in their bodies, and their fighting spirit was high.

"Kill!"

Yuan's army was completely broken up by the imposing Zhang Feibu, and the retreat quickly turned into a rout.

However, the number of Yuan's army was, after all, six or seven times that of Zhang Fei's army, and both sides were cavalry.

Zhang Fei relied on his own strength, at most, he could only fight a routing battle, and it was impossible to fight a war of annihilation.

The cavalry of the Yuan army scattered and fled, and Zhang Fei could only pursue a small part of them at most.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei didn't need to rely on his own strength to complete the battle.

Before he started the battle, when he lured the enemy to pass by the fruit forest just now, he had already briefly confirmed: Fan Jiang Zhang Da had already taken the ambush soldiers under Mi Fang's command and deployed them in place.

Therefore, at this moment, when the Yuan army showed a tendency to disperse, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, who were ambushed in the fruit forest on the south side of the road, immediately led 300 infantry each to cover and kill, block the retreat of the Yuan army, and by the way, reap the credit and beat the water dogs.

Each of them consisted of two hundred pikemen, one hundred archers and swordsmen, and a few were armed with round shields.

The pikemen quickly advanced northward, directly to the south bank of the Huai River, trying to completely cut off the retreat of Yuan's army, and then blocked the attack on the road, and the saber archers responded with arrows, remotely weakening the enemy in front of them and delaying the speed of Yuan's army.

These ambush soldiers were like sharp knives, piercing the waist and tail of the retreating Yuan army.

Except for a few cavalry in the rear of Yuan's army, which ran fast when they saw the situation, most of the Chinese army and the front army were intercepted.

The cavalry of the Yuan army, who was besieged, suddenly became frightened birds, and finally went crazy, trying to jump over the wall to break through, and the two sides launched a bloody fight.
