Chapter 347: General Huwei!
Noon is approaching, Hannan camp.
Zhao Yun pressed his sword and paced at the camp gate, waiting for news from Huang and Lu. Looking up at the sun from time to time, seeing that the hour was about to pass noon, Zhao Yun's heart became more and more anxious.
"Any news from the scouts?" Zhao Yun asked.
Tai Shiheng shook his head and said, "There is no news today!" β
Zhao Yun stopped and said worriedly: "Noon is about to pass, and there is no news of the two generals, which is not a good thing." Could it be that the two generals failed to rob the camp? β
"Report!"
The waiting rider galloped from a distance, reined in the horse and got off the ground, and arched his hand and said: "General Qiyu, the Tiantai Mountain Grain Village is on fire, and the smoke is everywhere, but now I don't know what the situation in the village is!" β
"Probe, report!"
Zhao Yun cheered and waved his fist, and commanded.
"Report!"
The previous one didn't go far, and another one galloped over, and said anxiously: "General, General Lu was defeated by Ma Chao and Niu Gai's combined army, and his subordinates suffered heavy losses. Now he was pursued and killed by Cao's army, crossed the Han River, and came in the direction of our army. β
"Good!"
Zhao Yun's face changed slightly, and he said: "Yuan Fu, you lead the infantry to stick to the camp, prepare more bows and crossbows, and don't go into battle." β
"No!"
Zhao Yun took the lance from the hand of the guard, and ordered: "Where are the horsemen?" β
"The last general!" Zhao Lie was ordered to come out of the ranks.
"Lead the cavalry to support me"
"No!"
Zhao Yun turned over his white horse and led more than 300 cavalry down the hillside to find Lu Meng.
On the bank of the Han River, Lu Meng's hair was scattered, the armor on his body had been discarded, he was tripped by stones, and he staggered away, looking terrified.
Hundreds of defeated troops were like Lu Meng, looking at the Cao army behind them from time to time, most of the flags and weapons in their hands were thrown, and they fled in panic.
Cao's army, numbering in the thousands, crossed the Han River in a mighty way, chasing and killing LΓΌ Meng and hundreds of defeated troops under his tent, and the shouts of killing in his mouth were endless, which was terrifying.
Lu Meng looked at Cao Qi behind him, sighed a few times in his heart, and the pace of escape became faster and faster.
Speaking of Lu Meng, he was also unlucky, he finally lured Ma Chao out, and was chased and killed by him because of his humiliation of Ma Chao. The chase is the chase, but Lu Meng also has an arrangement, hanging Ma Chao along the way. According to Lu Meng's plan, normally, he was able to escape from Ma Chao's hands.
However, things are not normal, LΓΌ Mengtun in Hannan has long been targeted by Cao Cao, and when he attacked the grain village, Niu Gai led the troops to set off.
As a result, LΓΌ Meng was not only chased and killed by Ma Chao, but also ran into Niu Gai's vanguard cavalry, and the orderly retreat directly turned into a disorderly retreat, and then a rout.
Of the 5,000 sergeants under Lu Meng's account, only a few hundred people were left behind him. Moreover, Lu Meng even lost his horse, so he had to flee on foot.
Just when Cao Cai was about to catch up, LΓΌ Meng looked up and saw 'Zhao' fluttering in front of him, and a cavalry galloped approaching from the front, shouting excitedly: "General Zhao, LΓΌ Meng is here!" β
Zhao Yun galloped in front of Lu Meng, reined in the war horse, and said, "Ziming will walk back to the camp first, and Yun will solve it here!" β
"Thank you, General Zhao!"
Lu Meng and the defeated army were deeply glad to see Zhao Yun leading his cavalry to block the enemy, and shouted that General Zhao should be careful, but they ran forward without looking back.
"Kill!"
Zhao Yun pointed forward, his face was cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"Kill!"
More than 300 cavalry rushed straight towards the pursuing Cao cavalry, and the two cavalry faced each other. The northern cavalry can fight well, and most of them are brave; The southern cavalry and the southern expedition and the northern war, most of them are elite. Entangled and fighting with each other, the biggest gap between the two cavalry is the courage of the main general.
Zhao Yun was unabated, wielded the lance in his hand, opened the spear in front of him, and used the impact of the war horse to directly pierce Cao Qi's chest and bring Cao Qi to the ground. With the sprint of the war horse, Zhao Yun drew the lance with his backhand again.
Rushing into the battle, Zhao Yun used the long lance in his hand to smash the belt and smash several Cao cavalry to the ground, the cavalry fought chaotically, the horse's hooves trampled, and the Cao cavalry who landed on the ground was either trampled to death by the southern cavalry or trampled to death by his own people.
Husband battle courage also!
Zhao Yun took the lead, killed more than ten people in a row, followed by the cavalry, and stubbornly chiseled hundreds of Cao cavalry.
The two horsemen were on the wrong horse, and when they saw Zhao Yun's fierce appearance, they couldn't help but be afraid.
"Withdraw!"
Seeing that it was not Zhao Yun's opponent, the cavalry governor of Cao Jun did not hesitate, and directly ordered a retreat, retreating from both flanks of the mountain to the rear.
Zhao Yun saw that Cao Cai was retreating, and the Cao army's infantry had already set up a phalanx in the distance, so he gave up the idea of chasing and killing, and said: "Withdraw the army and explore the whereabouts of General Huang!" β
"No!"
Zhao Yun led the cavalry back the same way, catching up with LΓΌ Meng and the defeated army under the tent on the way.
"Phew!"
Zhao Yun stopped and asked, "Ziming, where is the old general?" β
Lu Meng held a wooden stick, panted and said, "I led my troops to attack the camp and successfully lured Ma Chao to pursue. Ma Chao pursued halfway, and when he returned, he let Niu Gai lead the army to pursue. Under the defeat of a certain soldier today, Meng did not know the situation of the old general. However, Yimeng guessed that the old general should have successfully attacked the camp, otherwise Ma Chao would not have returned to the camp. β
"Good!"
Zhao Yun looked left and right, and said: "Ziming and lead fifty horsemen, and return to the camp with the sergeants under the tent, there is no need to worry, the chasing soldiers have been killed and retreated by Yun for the time being." β
"The general is mighty!" Lu Meng sighed.
"Report!"
Hou Cai came from the direction of the distant camp, reined in his horse and got off the ground, and said: "General Qiyu, General Huang Lao led his troops to attack the camp successfully and captured the enemy general Pang De. But Ma Chao led his troops to fight back, Tan Yue was beheaded, and the sergeants under his tent were broken. β
The old general led Fu Wei to lead the crowd and fought and retreated, but was caught up by Ma Chao and his cavalry, and many sergeants were killed and wounded. Today, we crossed the Han River and withdrew to our army camp. β
"Good!"
Zhao Yun's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Zi Ming and lead the sergeants back to the camp, and Yun will go to support General Huang!" β
"No!"
Zhao Yun sent 50 cavalry to escort LΓΌ Meng and the defeated army back to the camp, and he led more than 200 cavalry to support Huang Zhong.
"Bang bang!"
Zhao Yun held the lance in front, and the 'Zhao' flag behind him fluttered in the wind, and hundreds of horses' hooves stepped on the ground, dusty. Although there are only more than 200 horses, its momentum is far more than 200 horses.
During the gallop, Zhao Yun saw the 'Fu' flag coming, but Fu Wei led more than 700 foot riders to retreat, most of them were wounded sergeants, supporting each other, and their steps were hurried but not fast.
Zhao Yun pulled the horse in front of Fu Wei, looked at the queue sergeant, did not see Huang Zhong's figure, and asked, "Zi Xi, where is the old general?" β
Fu Wei held the reins and sighed and said: "After crossing the Han River, thousands of Cao troops were in hot pursuit, and the old general led hundreds of Rui soldiers to the palace, and ordered Wei to lead the wounded soldiers forward. β
As he spoke, Fu Wei pointed to Pang De, who was tied by ropes and carried by a white horse, and said: "The old general successfully attacked the camp, captured Pang De, and burned grain and grass, but Ma Chao suddenly killed, and our army scattered and fought, losing to Ma Chao. β
"Good!"
Zhao Yun's face was calm, he patted Fu Wei's shoulder, and said, "And lead the wounded sergeant back to the camp first, and the old general will be answered by Yun!" β
"Thank you, General Zilong!" Fu Wei said.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Yun led more than 200 cavalry soldiers and headed in the direction pointed by Fu Wei.
At this time, more than 500 elite infantry cavalry led by Huang Zhonghe were surrounded and killed by Guan Long's infantry under Cheng Yin's account. Taking advantage of the cavalry, he cut off the cavalry under Huang Zhong's tent from the foot soldiers, and surrounded and killed Huang Zhong who led the foot soldiers. And the Nanqi was chased and killed by the Qiang cavalry, and he couldn't help at all.
Cao Jun's infantry and cavalry cooperated, and the infantry soldiers fought with the southern army's infantry in an attempt to pry open the phalanx; The cavalry paraded outside, preparing to wait for the infantry to break the formation, and then rushed into the phalanx with all their might, defeating the southern infantry soldiers.
Huang Zhong gasped in the battle, fighting and running from the morning until noon, Huang Zhong, who was no longer a young man, was already tired, and he could only continue to fight by resting and recovering his strength.
Zhang wiped the sweat on his head, and said worriedly: "Our army is trapped by the Cao army, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for General Zhao to come to help." β
Huang Zhong stood up with a long lance, looked around, gritted his teeth and said: "General Zilong is not a person who is afraid of war, and today's predicament cannot be solved by Zilong." β
Before the words fell, the south suddenly sounded the sound of celebration like a tsunami, and then the 'Zhao' flag came into view.
"Old general, Zilong is here!"
But I saw a handful of red tassels slanted into the pocket, fluttering in the wind between gallops, protruding left and right in the riding formation to kill the peripheral rangers. Taking advantage of his might, Zhao Yun led his cavalry to rush directly towards Cao Jun's foot soldiers.
The Cao army infantry who besieged Huang Zhong's subordinates never thought that the enemy would come from behind, and they were frightened by the sudden cavalry. In the face of Zhao Yun's cavalry charge, Cao's infantry retreated to the left and right, making way for Zhao Yun.
However, how could Zhao Yun easily let go of this fighter, put away his bow and held his bow, stretched his bow and set up arrows, and a series of arrows flew out.
"Whoosh!"
Like Zhao Yun's movements, more than 200 horsemen flew out arrows, and the sound of breaking through the air was suddenly crackling and shooting into Cao Jun's footmen, and the wails were endless.
"Kill it!"
Huang Zhong took aim at the opportunity, mounted his horse with a lance, and followed the chaos created by Zhao Yun, leading his foot soldiers to rush out.
The encirclement of 3,000 people was not tight, and after being frightened by Zhao Yun's cavalry, they used arrows to shoot a wave, these soldiers and horses from Kansai, in the face of internal and external flanking charges, they had already lost their courage, but were afraid.
Rushing into battle, Zhao Yun lightly kicked the horse's belly, went up with a lance, stabbed sharply with a lance, and killed three people in a row, so scared that Cao Zu didn't dare to step forward. The cavalry followed closely behind, slashing and slashing the retreating sergeants.
In a few breaths, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong cooperated to break through the military formation, and the two armies converged.
"Zilong!"
In the crowd, Huang Zhong saw Zhao Yun and shouted happily.
"Old General!" Zhao Yun stepped close and said.
Huang Zhong held Zhao Yun's hand and said excitedly: "I knew that Zilong would lead troops to help me!" β
Zhao Yun's resolute face showed a smile and said: "This is not the time for idle chat, the old general followed the cloud to kill the phalanx, withdraw the army and return to the camp!" β
"Good!"
Huang Zhong also reacted and said: "Ma Chao led his troops to extinguish the granary fire and sent Cheng Yin to pursue as the vanguard. If we fight for a long time now, I am afraid that Ma Chao will catch up, and then our army is afraid that it will be difficult to leave. β
"Let's go!"
Cheng Yin saw Zhao Yun coming to help, and hurriedly signaled Cao troops from several other directions to surround the two armies. Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong fought and retreated, and slowly withdrew from the encirclement.
However, not long after Zhao Yun came out of the battle, he heard someone in the formation shouting: "Does General Huang want to abandon me?" β
"Is it Zhang?"
Huang Zhong heard this, and said anxiously: "After he leads the army, I should go back to the rescue!" β
Zhao Yun grabbed Huang Zhong's arm and said, "The old general has been fighting for a long time, and he is already tired. Zhang Zhu and the sergeants in the formation responded by Yun, and the old general should lead the soldiers and horses to go first! β
Holding Zhao Yun's hand, Huang Zhong looked worried and said, "Since this is the case, it will be troublesome Zilong!" β
"Let's go!"
Zhao Yun led the sixteen cavalry on his side to recharge back from the original road, and the chaos of the Cao army before, there were not many Cao troops on the original road.
Now Zhao Yun recoiled back, and the sparse Cao Jun foot soldiers held spears and stabbed falsely, but they didn't dare to go straight. However, there were not no warriors among the Cao army, and the Cao army's foot soldiers exerted their strength violently, holding the lance towards Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's upper body shook slightly, dodged the spear, and the long lance in his hand stabbed at the foot soldier, and the sharp lance blade broke through the foot soldier's chest and lifted it upward. The corpse of the foot soldier was picked up by Zhao Fei, but he threw himself on the ground and died no longer dead.
A Cao Jun foot soldier wanted to sneak attack Zhao Yun from the left side, but Zhao Yun caught a glimpse of it, drew his long sword, and slashed Cao Jun's foot soldier.
A sword goes down, and the spear is cut off!
With another sword, the Qingjar Sword cut off the sergeant's helmet and brains directly, and Bai Huahua's brains flowed out.
When he was killed, Zhao Yun took the war horse and shouted: "Get on the horse!" β
"Thank you, General Zhao!"
Zhang dragged his wounded leg on the horse, and all the sergeants under his account were killed.
Seventeen rides in and eighteen rides out.
Zhao Yun opened the way again, holding the sword and holding the lance, slashing and stabbing to the left, and wherever the sword and the lance went, blood splashed and dyed red.
Looking at Zhao Yunyuan's distant back, Cheng Yin was so angry that he continuously whipped the timid retreating sergeant, and shouted loudly: "Whole army, pursue again!" β
"No!"
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong did not dare to delay, lest they be caught up by Cao Jun, and hurriedly returned to the camp. When Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong returned to the camp, Fu Wei and Lu Meng also returned to the camp to rest.
Tai Shiheng stood at the gate of the wall, saw Zhao and Huang returning, and hurriedly stepped forward and held Zhao Yun's reins.
"Phew!"
Zhao Yun pulled the reins and said, "Yuan Fu, most of the Cao army has caught up!" β
Huang Zhong looked at the movement behind him and said: "Zilong, the enemy is outnumbered today, our army is tired, and it is difficult to fight, it is better to retreat to the camp and think that it is the enemy." β
Tai Shiheng nodded again and again, and said, "I have prepared more bows and crossbows, and it will be difficult for the enemy to rush and kill." β
Lu Meng banged on the door angrily and said regretfully: "If I had taken more precautions, I expected Ma Chao to chase and kill, but Niu Gai sent troops to prevent the five thousand soldiers under his tent from being wiped out." There are soldiers and horses still there, why fear Cao Jun, and General Meng has no face to see the lord and General Guan! β
Zhao Yun's expression was as usual, turning the horse's head and watching Cao Jun's movements.
After a long time, Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "Guarding the village behind closed doors should show the enemy to be weak." If it is besieged by Cao's army, when Ma Chao leads the army to arrive, our army will inevitably be defeated! β
"Pass my military orders!"
Zhao Yun reined in the horse's head and said, "Open the gate of the village, the golden drum is silent, and the flag is down." The cavalry is hidden in the camp, the bow and crossbow are loaded with arrows, and when I give the order, all the troops will fire together! β
"No!"
Lu Meng, who had calmed down, understood Zhao Yun's deep meaning, and took the lead in responding.
When Cheng Yin and Niu Gai led five or six thousand soldiers and horses to the camp gate, they looked at it from a distance, but saw that the camp was extremely quiet, and there was no one to move.
Only Zhao Yun stood at the gate of the village with a lance, and a 'Zhao' flag moved with the wind.
A killing intent rose from Zhao Yun's body, and with the silent camp, it made everyone in Cao Jun breathless!
"I'm Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
Zhao Yun immediately held the lance and shouted: "Who dares to step forward!" β
"Zhao Yun!"
Niu Gai, and Cheng Yin looked at each other, and couldn't help but be extremely afraid of the empty camp and Zhao Yun.
Cheng Yin thought of Zhao Yun's heroic fight, and was full of fear in his heart, and said: "The generals and soldiers, the generals can go first!" β
Niu Gai looked at Zhao Yun and said: "Zhao Yunsu is a general of the Southern Army, not an unscrupulous person, there will be an ambush waiting for me when I set up an empty camp today!" β
Cheng Yin hesitated for a while and asked, "How will you treat the enemy?" β
Niu Gai had an idea in his heart and said: "Zhao Yun rode alone at the camp gate to wait for me, and he could order a hundred crossbowmen to shoot him." If you can shoot Zhao Yun, it will be a great achievement; If you miss, an enemy will kill you, and our army should withdraw! β
"Good!"
Cheng Yin nodded again and again and praised: "You can follow the general's words." β
After a while, a hundred crossbowmen came out of the queue and walked towards Zhao Yun, who was stationed at the camp gate, and put on their bows and arrows to shoot Zhao Yun.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun raised his lance and pointed at the sky, as if he was giving orders.
Cao Jun's crossbowmen couldn't help but stop, not daring to move forward.
Zhao Yun put down the lance, looked up and smiled.
The laughter is heroic, and it is in the ears of both friends and enemies!
Seeing Zhao Yun teasing himself like this, the bold crossbowman stepped forward, not afraid of Zhao Yun. Seeing that someone was leading, all the crossbowmen also stepped forward in unison.
Zhao Yun's expression was restricted, and he said sharply: "Release the arrow!" β
Hearing Zhao Yun's order, the golden drums in the camp sounded in unison, and the crossbowmen appeared and shot outward.
The dense arrows broke through the air, and the hundreds of Cao Jun crossbowmen were almost shot, and the crossbowmen who survived were so frightened that they turned around and left!
"Boom!"
The sound of drums resounded through the mountains, as if something had been awakened, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
"Kill!"
"Withdraw!"
Cheng Yin's face turned pale with fright, and he led his subordinates to turn around and flee.
Seeing that Cheng Yin led his troops to flee, Yin Guanna dared to stay where he was and beckoned the sergeant to retreat.
"Bang bang!"
Seeing that the enemy was retreating, Zhao Yun raised his lance and signaled, and three or four hundred cavalry were divided into two parts to kill.
Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun pursued the Yin Guan Army, and the cavalry pursued and killed for more than ten miles, and on the way, the Cao army scattered and fled, or fled into the mountains, or drowned in the Han River, or fled with the public. Among them, Cao Jiangniu Gai was driven into the Han River by Zhao Yun and drowned in the river.
After the current battle, the army called Zhao Yun as 'General Huwei'!
