Chapter 112 Differentiation
The defeat of the Liao soldiers caught Meng Huo and others off guard.
In fact, in less than a quarter of an hour, their emotions fluctuated greatly. When the Liao soldiers broke through the gate of the village, they were actually ready to attack Ye Zhao's camp and be prepared to defeat the main force of Ye Zhao in one breath. However, before the troops and horses were completely out of the camp, they saw three soldiers appear and rushed into the Liao soldiers from different directions. The Liao soldiers rushing into the camp also ran out in panic.
Obviously, the counterattack in the village was much bigger than expected.
At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that these fang soldiers had been plotted against. Meng Huo gritted his teeth and had never encountered any good things since he instigated Yongzhi to send troops. This time he obviously failed again.
Just as Meng Huo and several Nanman Cave Lords gathered their troops and prepared to support the defeated Fang soldiers, a group of troops suddenly broke out from Meng Huo's back formation, but Guan Yu arrived.
"Guan Yu!?"
Meng Huo turned his head, and the moment he saw Guan Yu, the weapon in his hand almost landed directly, exclaiming: "Why is he here!?"
But when Guan Yu was like a sharp blade, he easily split the barbarians' formation from behind when the barbarians had no time to change their formation. Every time the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was swung, it could take away the lives of several soldiers. It easily killed the barbarians' formation, which was not rigorous, and directly broke through the formation and fought with the fleeing Fang soldiers.
When the Fang soldiers attack, they can be fearless and fearless, and they can't even feel the pain, but once they are afraid, they will be like an ordinary beast, and they will be unable to develop the fighting spirit. They will be killed by Guan Yu head-on, and the corpses are everywhere.
What's worse is that although Guan Yu broke through the formation and reorganized the formation, Gan Ning, Ding Li and Guan Hai's three troops had gathered together and chased the Liao soldiers and entered the barbarian camp that had not yet been integrated.
"Don't be in chaos, we have too many people, kill me!" Several cave owners were still working hard to maintain military discipline and command the barbarians to fight back. This did have some effect. Many barbarian warriors roared at the Shu army, but more barbarians retreated desperately. Although the counterattack of some barbarians caused some trouble to the Shu army, the general situation was hopeless and not something that this small number of people could reverse.
If one-third of the barbarian soldiers could obey the order and continue to fight bravely with the Shu army, the barbarian army would not be completely defeated. Even if they were unable to win, they would still have a chance to fight for both sides. However, as Guan Yu's troops were re-adjusted and they were covered up again, the defeat was basically impossible to make a profit.
Guan Yu led his troops just like his sword skills, and the key to being fast, accurate and ruthless!
Although the invasion of the rear army caused great chaos, Guan Yu could not find the position of the enemy's chief general in the chaos. However, this time the barbarian soldiers had already begun to be defeated, and the positions of several cave masters of the barbarian army were highlighted. When Guan Yu led his army into the battlefield here, his purpose became very clear. Regardless of the defeated barbarian soldiers around him, Guan Yu directly targeted the positions of several cave masters.
"No, retreat quickly!" Meng Huo knew something was wrong when he saw Guan Yu breaking into the battlefield. During the two encounters with Guan Yu, Meng Huo still remembered Guan Yu's routines. The moment he finished shouting, he turned over and dismounted, pulled off the decoration representing the cave master level on his head, rolled off the spot, and sneaked into the fleeing barbarians and left.
The Yinye Cave Master had the last experience. At the moment when Meng Huo spoke up, he turned his horse's head and ran away, but the other Cave Masters didn't know how powerful Guan Yu was.
In this wilderness, courage is the most respected. As the cave master, even if he is not the number one warrior in the clan, his strength is not bad. When he saw Guan Yu coming, his first reaction was to spit on the timids of the two, and directly pick up the weapons and face Guan Yu.
"Kill!" Seeing that the thief general did not leave and came forward instead, the cold light in Guan Yu's eyes was raging. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword was swung when the two sides were still four or five meters apart. At the moment when they met the first cave master, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword had skillfully completed the chopping action, and the opponent's mature copper stick had just been mentioned to his chest.
"Puff~"
A green light flew past, and the blood pillar rushed far away with the head. Guan Yu didn't even look at the corpse. He had already passed the corpse and killed the second cave master. With a jade belt wrapping around his waist, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, whose sword was exhausted, turned around his shoulders and then walked around his waist. Before the opponent's caltrop hit his forehead, he cut the enemy into two pieces.
This fight was completed in the flash of lightning, and Guan Yu's horse almost stopped at all and had already completed the double kill.
There are five cave masters who have never seen such a powerful opponent. Each of the two cave masters can survive under Guan Yu's sword. They are both brave and dare not fight. They turn their horses and run away.
Guan Yu kept running and rushed forward and killed another person with the speed of rushing. However, the other four fled separately and could not pursue him any longer. Guan Yu felt a little regretful and could only lead his soldiers back and forth among the chaos. As long as he saw the barbarians gathered together, he rushed forward and killed them.
Eight cave masters plus one Meng Huo escaped. The remaining barbarians did not have the courage to fight again. They either howled and ran to chase their cave masters, or knelt down to ask for surrender. Guan Yu, Guan Hai, Ding Li, and Gan Ning divided into four groups, and chased them again, chasing them for more than twenty miles. It was not until the eastward slant that Ye Zhao called out the gold to withdraw his troops.
Looking at the corpses all over the mountains, Ye Zhao sighed and ordered people to start cleaning up the battlefield. Whether the soldiers on both sides of the enemy or us were buried or burned, and at the same time, the surrendered barbarians confiscated their weapons and took care of them.
"Lord, this battle is a great victory. All 30,000 troops of the bandit army have been defeated, captured 7,000 barbarians, and killed more than 10,000 enemies. I think that I should take advantage of the victory to pursue it. The two counties of Yongchang should be able to fight in one battle." Huang Quan came to Ye Zhao excitedly and said.
"Where are our army's casualties?" Ye Zhao turned his head and asked.
"This..." Huang Quan was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "No counting has been made yet."
"Gan Ning, tell me!" Ye Zhao looked at Gan Ning on the side and said.
"Return to the lord, I fought with the savage before, and suffered more than a thousand losses. In the next ten days, there were about eight hundred losses. Although this time, I defeated the barbarian army and killed many enemies, the last general, General Guan, General Guan and General Ding, and the four divisions of the camp, there were more than 4,000 losses. In this battle, our army suffered a total of six thousand losses!" Gan Ning said with a low voice.
There were 20,000 troops, and there were 6,000 people. You should know that after the division of troops, Ye Zhao's totaled only 20,000, which was a loss of nearly one-third. The morale of the army was quite a big blow.
This is because Ye Zhao merged Jianning's troops. Otherwise, if it were only for Ye Zhao's 20,000 troops at the beginning, he would have been less than half of them now.
"Injure one thousand enemies, one hundred of them will hurt themselves." Ye Zhao tapped the handrail with his index finger and looked at Huang Quan and said, "Now the bandit army suffers heavy casualties, and its morale is even lower. What we need to do at this time is not to attack strongly, but to take the attack as the key, and to balance the public!"
"Here!" Huang Quan bowed and bowed.
"I will give you a thousand people, and add a thousand barbarian soldiers to captain the commander, and temporarily take the post of the lieutenant. It's right..." Ye Zhao looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Add to the command under Chief Yun."
Huang Quan was a little confused about Ye Zhao's sudden arrangement, but the military orders should not be violated, so he bowed to accept the order immediately.
Huang Quan is now a newcomer. He has read a lot of military strategy and strategy in the academy. He looks quite excellent in his performance during this period. As a staff officer, Huang Quan is undoubtedly very qualified. More importantly, he has just reached the championship and still has great potential to explore in the future.
But there was one thing that Ye Zhao was very concerned about. Huang Quan's talent at this moment made him become a little conceited. Even in his words, whether it was Ding Li, Guan Hai, the old men around Ye Zhao, or Guan Yu, who had already had a reputation in the world, he was all disdainful.
The most important thing is that he has no actual experience in leading troops. All his previous performances were extended under Ye Zhao's control of the overall situation.
Ye Zhao was very worried that he would be the only talent who could be the only one, to cultivate Zhao Kuo, Ma Su and others who talked about war on paper. As one of the backbone of his future forces, what Ye Zhao wanted was not just a counselor who could follow him and give advice for him. Such things were enough for Xi Zhicai and Li Ru. He needed more generals who could be the only one. This was also the reason why Huang Quan was thrown under Guan Yu.
If it is under the command of Ding Li, Guan Hai or Xu Rong, these people may not be able to play a role in striking, but Guan Yu is different. Guan Yu has outstanding abilities, but he is very arrogant in his bones. Even the people sent by Ye Zhao will not be spoiled by Guan Yu's temperament. Huang Quan is also the type of newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and can complement Guan Yu to a certain extent.
At the same time, let Huang Quan lead the army alone earlier, and put what he has learned into practice can also prevent Huang Quan from going further and further on the road of empty talk. Xi Zhi recommended Huang Quan over and asked him to go to the army with the army. I am afraid that he has already seen some clues. I want to let Huang Quan enter the army to experience it.
"This time, seven thousand barbarians were captured and sent people to count which of them belonged to." Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said, "Ding Li will do this matter and pick out the people from Yinye Cave for me to let go."
"Lord, this..." The few people were disrespectful when they heard this. This was a spoil, so they could be released no matter how much they said.
Huang Quan's eyes turned, but he had already understood Ye Zhao's thoughts and smiled and said, "Do you want to attack your heart?"
"Gongheng knows me." Ye Zhao didn't avoid it and nodded with a smile.
Ding Li took the order and left, but Guan Hai frowned and said, "Lord, what is the attack of the heart?"
