Chapter 209 Dong Zhuo's anger! The big man's anger is not exhausted, and Guangwu is reborn again!
To his left front, about a hundred paces away, the Xiliang Xiaoqi formation was slightly thinner than the soldiers and horses directly in front, and seemed to be easier to break through.
Han Dang, who has experienced many battles, knew at a glance that his opponent was trying to prevent him from breaking through and deepening his strategy. In the hasty change of formation, the details of the operation were obviously insufficient and exposed flaws.
In fact, the more large-scale group operations are conducted, the better the ability of a commander can be measured, because there are many factors that need to be considered, the resulting operations will be more, and the more flaws will be exposed.
To measure the ability of a commander, it is not only necessary to have the correct strategic direction, but also to minimize the number of operations during the actual operation, thereby reducing the exposure of flaws.
The fewer flaws are exposed, the stronger the person's commanding ability will be.
It's obvious!
The commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Xiaoqi is still not good enough.
Although its overall strategic direction is correct, its operational details are insufficient, exposing greater flaws.
On the other hand, Han Dang only had 800 soldiers and horses under his command. Although he was relatively weak, his boat was small and easy to turn around, and it was easy to control. The flexibility of his formation was far beyond that of the Xiliang Xiaoqi.
Without any hesitation.
Han Dang made a decision at the last moment and gave a sonorous order: "Send the order, break out from the right front."
The opponent's general obviously has rich combat experience. If he turns directly to the left front, it will inevitably arouse the opponent's fear and notice the weak defense of the left front.
Once they are overtaken by the opponent's strength during the advance, Han Dang's eight hundred elite cavalry, no matter how powerful they are in combat, will probably be slowly exhausted and die.
As a last resort.
Han Dang could only break out towards the right front and create a fake move to confuse the opponent's general and at the same time make the formation on the left front weaker and easier to break through.
At the same time, Han Danghui gradually reversed the direction of the troops during the movement, turning Zhang Liao into the front army and himself into the rear army, so that he could turn around in one fell swoop and break through to the left front.
but......
Han Dang needs Zhang Liao's close cooperation to do this.
If Zhang Liao had trouble understanding his strategy, then his entire army of 800 cavalry would surely be annihilated.
Behind Han Dang, the messengers responded and held up red and green flags to convey the order.
"General Wenyuan!"
Han Dang prayed secretly in his heart: "You must understand my determination!"
When the order was given, Han Dang did not hesitate and gave the order resoundingly: "Kill—!"
Reiner your horse and turn to the right front.
Han Dangchuo's spear was in his hand, and he clamped it on the horse's belly, like a sharp blade, and struck forward.
At the same time, Zhang Liao was equally surprised.
Xiliang Xiaoqi's formation change speed far exceeded his imagination.
In particular, the roundabout speed of the left and right wings was even closer to his own rear.
If this continues, I'm afraid that even before they can break out of the siege, their soldiers and horses will be made dumplings by him.
Just when Zhang Liao was worried.
suddenly.
There were red and green flags flashing in front of the team, which eventually pointed to the right front.
This means that Han Dang did not choose to break out of the encirclement head-on, but turned to the right and forward to break out of the encirclement.
What's going on?
Zhang Liao was puzzled by this strange operation.
But he did not subconsciously think that Han Dang's move was stupid, but was thinking about the deeper reasons.
After all, Han Dang has more than ten years of combat experience, so how could he do such a shameless maneuver out of a temporary change of formation in the army.
If it is forced to do this, there must be other considerations.
Zhang Liao followed closely behind, peeking in all directions.
Huh?
The formation on the left front is obviously thin.
However, Han Dang did not rush straight to the left front, but charged towards the right front, and even had a faint tendency to turn around.
Is it possible...
A crazy idea flashed through Zhang Liao's mind.
Han Dang should confuse the opponent in the main movement, and then change the direction in subtle ways, so that the rear team becomes the front team and breaks out from the left front.
That’s right!
That must be the case.
At this moment, Zhang Liao was enlightened and suddenly realized.
Although this idea is almost crazy, Zhang Liao has to admit that it is extremely feasible.
And if this plan succeeds, Zhang Liao is almost 100% sure that he can break out of the enemy formation before the Xiliang Xiaoqi behind them complete the encirclement!
He is truly worthy of being a veteran with more than ten years of combat experience. He is so bold as an expert. Even Zhang Liao couldn't help but admire him secretly.
Zhang Liao was overjoyed and said to himself: "General Yi Gong, don't worry, I, Zhang Liao, will definitely live up to your high expectations."
At that moment, Zhang Liaole flicked his horse's tail, lifted the horse's shaft, and swung its tail toward the left front.
Because he knows very well that if this plan is to succeed, changing teams is the key.
After all, turning around quickly will expose a huge flaw in the team.
Han Dang can only slowly realize this kind of movement during movement, thereby completing the change of formation in subtle ways.
This requires the full cooperation of two people, just like a small boat in huge waves, one is responsible for the bow and the other is responsible for the stern.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Zhang Liao was fine if he didn't take action, but his action was as fast as lightning.
He turned his horse around and swung it to the left front while continuing to fight to protect the army's turn.
At the same time, Dong Min, who was watching the battle and commanding, grinned sinisterly: "Humph! This team has extremely strong combat effectiveness, but unfortunately the general is too stupid, and he has fallen into the death trap set by this general."
"Want to escape?"
Dong Min's eyes flashed, and he did not hide his murderous intent: "Unless they can get wings, once the two wings of our army complete the roundabout and gather together, they will definitely die."
The deputy general beside him hurriedly nodded in agreement: "The general is proficient in cavalry warfare. Even among the Xiliang army, there are few opponents. The opponent only has a few hundred cavalry. How can he escape from the palm of the general's hand."
"Look!"
The deputy general raised his hand and pointed to the battlefield, excitedly saying: "They can no longer attack, and it will be our army's turn to counterattack."
Dong Min waved his hand to interrupt, and smiled: "Don't worry, this team is extremely powerful, and a forced counterattack will cause huge casualties. It is better to surround and kill them, draining the opponent's physical strength, and then slowly torture them to death."
"Hahaha!"
At this point, Dong Min looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, his brows filled with abnormal excitement: "Xu Rong was defeated! Lu Bu was also defeated! Only I, Dong Min, won."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
"..."
The roar of laughter sounded over and over again.
At this moment, Dong Min was almost crazy.
He seemed to have seen the scene when he passed by in triumph, looking up at Xu Rong, Lu Bu, and even Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Li Jue, and Guo Si. This was the posture of a winner!
But......
Just when Dong Min was imagining his victory gesture.
Suddenly, the deputy general beside him raised his hand and pointed to the battlefield: "General, something seems to be wrong. The thief changed direction and actually rushed towards the left front."
"Um."
Dong Min was pulled back in an instant, his thick eyebrows stood up and he was filled with anger.
But before he could get angry, the scene in front of him suddenly made him stunned and surprised: "How is this possible? When did they change their formation, why didn't I notice it!"
The deputy general frowned: "General... I don't know very well, either."
"Damn it!"
Dong Min snarled his steel teeth, cursed angrily, and gave a sonorous order: "Quick! Send troops to support, we must stop them, we must not let these thieves break through the encirclement."
The lieutenant raised his hands and clasped his fists: "No."
Immediately.
Woohoo-!
A dull horn sounded.
The team of Xiliang Xiaoqi changed again.
But alas...
Han Dang and Zhang Liao have completed their formation changes.
However, the team of Xiliang Xiaoqi is too large, and it is not easy to make up for it by turning around.
Even when the horn sounded, Xiliang Xiaoqi turned his horse around too suddenly, causing bursts of commotion.
If Zhang Liao and Han Dang's eight hundred cavalry can be regarded as a small boat, then thousands of Xiliang Xiao cavalry can be regarded as a giant ship.
It's not easy to turn around a small boat, let alone a giant ship?
Dong Min's anxious decision once again allowed Zhang Liao to seize the flaw.
Without hesitation, he gave a sonorous command: "Charge—!"
All the soldiers roared in unison: "Kill!"
Zhang Liao suddenly clamped the horse's belly, sat down and the horse raised its head and neighed.
It seemed to sense the fierce fighting spirit of its master, and immediately its hooves thrashed, its long mane flying, and it led Zhang Liao towards the weakly defended place of the Xiliang Xiaoqi.
Zhang Liao's left hand is held in front of him, while his right hand is held in front of him.
The horse charged, pushing the pole with his right hand, thrusting forward, and at the same time, he used a clever twist of his wrist, and immediately a strange force was transmitted from the end of the pole to the front.
clang!
At the same time as Xiliang Xiaoqiu knocked away the spear and thrust it, Zhang Feng was like a spinning dragon, easily piercing through the enemy's body with lightning speed.
puff!
The sound of piercing the flesh was heard. Zhang Liao poured his divine power into his arms and immediately picked up the body and swept it from left to right. Bang bang bang, the body was thrown away and knocked away three or four cavalrymen running towards the left.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liao used his backhand to sweep through thousands of troops with a huge backhand move, killing all the Xiliang Xiaoqi that surged up from the right and in front in an instant.
Xiyuxu~~
Zhang Liao suddenly clamped his horse's belly and continued to charge forward, just like the waves crashing against the waves. He moved forward bravely, with his sharp edges flying, and his limbs and arms flying in all directions, which was extremely terrifying.
Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, his elite cavalry broke through little by little, and the entire team was like a sharp sword, constantly tearing apart the defense line of Xiliang's elite cavalry.
As if in the blink of an eye, the team unexpectedly advanced more than thirty horse lengths forward, so that the Xiliang Xiaoqi, who was making up rounds behind, could not keep up with Zhang Liao's attacking rhythm, and was left far behind.
forward!
Further forward!
Keep moving forward!
...
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Zhang Liao jumped on his horse and charged fiercely. The horse in his palm swung out a cold light like the moon, instantly knocking away the only three Xiliang soldiers in front of him, completely breaking through the Xiliang Xiaoqi's defense line.
"rush-!"
Give an order.
Eight hundred fine knights filed out, like dragons out of the sea, roaring towards the wider world.
Dong Min, who was watching the battle, became furious and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Quick! Stop them, give the order quickly, stop them!"
The messenger cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "No."
Woohoo-!
The dull horn sound sounded again.
However, you and I are both cavalry, and our speeds are almost the same, so how can we catch up?
Looking at the hundreds of fine cavalry that were gradually disappearing, Dong Min was furious, and the anger in his chest couldn't help but boil: "Zombie! How can there be such a powerful cavalry team under King Hongnong's tent?"
*****
Sishui Pass.
The sound of gold exploded, and the flames of war raged.
In the big tent.
Dong Zhuo frowned and paced back and forth angrily.
He probably never imagined that the Kanto rats in the Yanjin direction would be so difficult to deal with.
Even though his own elite troops came to help, they still could not defeat them for two days.
"Report—!"
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the tent.
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment.
The shouts of killing have not stopped yet. Could it be that the thieves' attack has been repelled?
He couldn't help but look up.
But then, the curtain was raised, and a messenger came in from the outside. He leaned over and cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, this is an urgent letter from the direction of Luoyang."
Luoyang?
Dong Zhuo felt a little nervous and felt bad.
He waved his hand: "Quick, bring it up."
Take the letter.
hiss-!
Dong Zhuo started browsing, his eyes rolled up and down, and he couldn't help but gasp.
The Great Valley Pass is broken!
The capital warehouse was attacked!
...
A series of bad news hit Dong Zhuo's psychology like a heavy hammer.
Although the battle of Heyangjin went smoothly and the battle of Sishui Pass was evenly divided, the defeat of Dagu Pass and the attack on Jingshicang completely wiped out Dong Zhuo's hope of continuing to fight.
"this......"
Dong Zhuo was stunned, his hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and his body seemed to be pushed by an invisible force. He took two or three steps back before he stopped his retreat and stabilized his body.
"Prime Minister, you are..."
Li Jue took a step forward and said worriedly: "But is there any bad news from the direction of Luoyang?"
Dong Zhuo took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He handed the letter to Li Jue: "Zhiran, read it yourself."
Li Jue took the letter and glanced up and down. His eyes were also as wide as bells, and he was horrified: "This... how is this possible? There are Xu Rong and Lu Bu stationed at Dagu Pass, how could it be defeated so easily?
"
"Damn it!"
Li Jue naturally knew the strategic significance of Dagu Pass: "The Dagu Pass was broken, and the southern defense line was completely torn apart. Now the other side took the opportunity to raid the capital warehouse, and we have no power to fight anymore."
At this moment, Dong Zhuo had returned to the front: "What do you mean... we should retreat?"
Li Jue cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Wen You's opinion is indeed the best way at present. As long as the prime minister can return to Chang'an and guard Hangu Pass, the thieves will not dare to advance westward."
"Um."
Dong Zhuo nodded with interest: "If you stay here, you will definitely fall into death. It is better to retreat to Chang'an and recharge your batteries until the times change. It will not be too late to fight again."
"Pass the order."
Dong Zhuo did not hesitate and made a decisive decision: "The whole army will fight until the evening of today. When the thieves retreat, they will return to Luoyang as quickly as possible, leaving only Hu Zhen to lead his troops to garrison to delay time."
Li Jue bowed and cupped his hands and said, "No."
Immediately.
He bowed and exited the tent.
Dong Zhuo's thick eyebrows were furrowed and his iron fist was clenched.
He couldn't believe that King Hongnong could actually defeat Xu Rong and Lu Bu, and even ride a fast horse to raid the capital's warehouse. Such skill was simply astonishing.
"Damn it!"
Dong Zhuo fell into deep thought and cursed secretly: "Who is it that is secretly helping? It can actually make King Hongnong transform to this extent in a short period of time."
Hard to forget.
When I first met Liu Bian on Mang Mountain.
He was still a timid boy who was trembling all over.
But who would have thought that in just over half a year, the opponent would look like a different person. Not only did he defeat Xu Rong and Lu Bu, but he also completely shattered his entire plan.
Is it possible...
The might of the great Han Dynasty is not exhausted yet, but will Guangwu be reborn?
