Han Fu wanted to drive Gai Jun out of Jizhou as soon as possible, but he knew that the army was on the road continuously and was exhausted. As the saying goes, "at the end of a strong crossbow, the force cannot penetrate Lu Jian", so he rashly started a war without knowing the chance of victory.
Lost in one battle.
Zhu Ling had a deep understanding of this. A few days ago, he led an army of 20,000 to pursue Qu Yi. Due to his unstable footing, Qu Yi's thousands of infantry led by more than a thousand Liangzhou soldiers overran the front army. As a result, he was passive everywhere and suffered a complete defeat.
, in the end, thanks to Qu Yi's memory of his old friendship, the entire army was prevented from being wiped out.
At Zhu Ling's suggestion, Han Fu set up camp dozens of miles away. He wanted to have a full night's sleep and recharge his batteries, but he didn't expect that in the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of horns and shouts of death, and the soldiers of Jizhou stood up screaming and raised their chests.
Running around and talking nonsense, if the military princes and Sima had not suppressed them in time, it would have caused disastrous consequences - bombing the camp.
Han Fu, a scribe from the Central Plains, had no military experience, let alone actual combat experience. Although his performance was better than that of ordinary soldiers, it was not much better. He hurriedly put on his robe and walked out of the tent with a trace of concealment on his face.
He couldn't help but panic, and asked the guards guarding the tent: "What's going on? Is Gai Jun leading his army to kill?"
Seeing that the guards were still unable to answer, Han Fu secretly cursed "waste" in his heart. Just after taking two steps, Zhu Ling came towards him. As if he had found his backbone, Han Fu held Zhu Ling's hand and asked nervously:
"Wenbo, but Gaijun is stealing the camp?"
Zhu Ling was startled, and then comforted him: "Don't worry, general, it's not a sneak attack. This is just a plan to tire me out. General Hussar doesn't want us to wait for a rest, so he sends out Qingqi to harass us." One of the two men called Gai Jun, and the other said Hussar.
General, you can see the attitude of the two. The former is full of hatred for Gai Jun and even calls him by his first name rather rudely, while Zhu Ling has no conflict of interest with Gai Jun and still uses the honorific title.
"That's good, that's good..." Han Fu breathed a long sigh of relief and his expression softened.
"..." Zhu Ling smiled bitterly when he heard this, and thought to himself, is this okay? He would rather Gai Jun really came to attack, and he would deploy thousands of soldiers in the camp. As long as Gai Jun comes, he will suffer a big loss in custody. What he is most afraid of is
What's more, this is a tactic that simply tires out the enemy. Jizhou soldiers are not as brave and good at fighting as Gai Junjun. If they lose energy during the battle, they will have no chance of winning.
After Han Fu said this, he regretted it. He was half asleep and his mind was still not very clear. Then he came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Wenbo can send more rangers to patrol the outside of the camp to drive away Gai's troops. Don't disturb them."
The rest of the soldiers will affect the war."
"Nuo." Zhu Ling bowed to watch Han Fu's counterattack, and walked out. On the way, he bumped into two generals wearing fish scale armor. One of them was eight feet long, with a huge back and waist, a square face, and a majestic nose and mouth.
He has a broad forehead, which makes him look dignified no matter how you look at it. Unfortunately, his eyes are thin and long, which ruins the overall image of his face. This man's surname is Yan Mingliang, and his courtesy name is Zishan. He is a native of Zhao. He was recruited into the army when the Yellow Turbans broke out. He was brave and good at fighting and moved to another country many times.
He was promoted to captain and became a famous warrior in Jizhou.
The other person's surname was Gao Minglan, whose courtesy name was Borui, and he was from Bohai. He looked like he was in his thirties, slightly older than Yan Liang, of medium height, with ordinary facial features. There was nothing surprising about him, especially when he was so sharp.
Yan Liang is more likely to be ignored by others.
However, Zhu Ling will not look down upon him. He respects Gao Lan more than Yan Liang. Although Yan Liang is the bravest of the three armies, he has a narrow-minded character, which means he is narrow-minded and arrogant. He often conflicts with his colleagues because of his bravery. Gao Lan
His personality is exactly the opposite, he is gentle and modest, and he is upright and cautious in his military use. He is one of the few generals in Jizhou who is worthy of Zhu Ling's friendship.
Just as the three of them were about to speak, shouts of death suddenly rolled in from the depths of darkness.
Yan Liang snorted coldly and shouted: "These Gaijun bastards are really hateful. Let me kill them and restore peace."
Gao Lan immediately advised: "Colonel Yan is a general under the general's command. He is in charge of an army. How can he go to danger?"
Zhu Ling frowned and said: "Just send more rangers, why don't Colonel Yan go there in person? There may be a battle tomorrow..."
Yan Liang waved his hand to interrupt Zhu Ling's words and said: "I won't be able to sleep on the couch if I don't kill some bastards from the army. I'll go, you two." After saying that, without waiting for the two people opposite to react, he clasped his fists and strode away.
Zhu Ling and Gao Lan stood there for a long time, looking at each other. After a while, the former sighed softly and said: "The cavalrymen of the Gai army are the best in the world. None of the Hu Zhuqiang of the Western and Northern Han Dynasties dared to attack them. Captain Yan has an impulsive and reckless character."
, you will definitely suffer a big loss if you go here.”
Gao Lan said: "Colonel Yan is brave and courageous, and has the style of a flying general. He will be safe and sound. Brother Zhu doesn't have to worry." But he probably didn't even believe what he said, so his voice became lower as he went to the back.
"..."
Yan Liang quickly returned to his tent, jumped on his horse, and led hundreds of troops straight to the north camp gate. On the way, he summoned hundreds of Jizhou knights and rushed out of the camp.
Although Yan Liang was easily impulsive, he was not an idiot. He knew that holding a torch would easily attract the enemy's attention, so he ordered more than a dozen people to hold torches in front of him, while he and hundreds of horsemen hid in the dark, because the horses' hooves were all wrapped in cowhide and coarse cloth, and their feet were very pointed.
It's so light that you can't notice it unless you're close at hand.
The person responsible for the raid was Zhang Baiqi. He led more than a thousand cavalry to hunt down the Jizhou rangers outside Guangying. Then, those who blew trumpets and those who shouted for death made the people of Jizhou uneasy. Once
He even rushed directly to the gate of the camp, shot several guards dead, and then left laughing and cursing, with an extremely arrogant attitude.
The loud and high-pitched Qiang whistle suddenly sounded, directly penetrating the dark curtain and drifting into Zhang Baiqi's ears.
"Oh? The people of Jizhou are very courageous. They actually dare to fight out..." Zhang Baiqi understood the meaning conveyed by the whistle and said with a smile. Everyone knew that Baiqi was his nickname. He got his name because he loves riding white horses.
, yet he still dares to ride a white horse in the dark night, which is as dazzling as a firefly, and people have to admire his courage.
"Captain, we are..."
"Retreat, retreat deeper..."
Yan Liang led his men in pursuit for hundreds of feet, with hesitation on his face. He didn't know whether to continue chasing. Judging from the sound of horse hooves, he knew that the opponent's number would be more than his own, not less. They flew back all the way.
Yan Liang knew clearly what he was paying attention to. It was just to lure him and others to a distant place before starting the war.
"Uh-huh——"
A Jizhou soldier holding a torch howled and fell off his horse. At the same time, more long arrows flew out into the night. More than ten Jizhou soldiers were all hit by the arrows, and none of them missed the net. A dozen torches fell on the ground, shouting "
"Crackling" sound.
"Kill..." Yan Liang gritted his teeth and raised his halberd. The soldiers from Jizhou rushed up on their horses and shouted for peace.
"Kill..." Sergeant Gai also rushed over under the leadership of Zhang Baiqi. The two sides started fighting with the faint light emitted by dozens of torches. Slowly, the soldiers from both sides competed to light the torches they carried, and the light became brighter and brighter.
It’s getting brighter…
Yan Liang jumped on his horse and rushed into the middle of Gai's soldiers. He was surrounded by enemies. He didn't have to worry about it. He waved his big halberd and was invincible. He killed seven or eight people in the blink of an eye. It was as if he was in an uninhabited country. His bravery was unparalleled. But Gai's army was unparalleled.
Due to the dim light and Yan Liang's fast horse, he was always unable to attack him.
"Kill him..." Just as a Gaijun commander opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a chill in his throat, then the world began to spin, he fell to the ground, convulsed and died.
Yan Liang became more murderous, and his halberd rushed forward, stabbing one of the horses, and then overturned the horse weighing more than a thousand kilograms to the ground. Several Gaijun cavalry who came from behind did not have time to react, and they stumbled and fell down.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die..." Yan Liang continued to charge forward, killing three people in a row, moving forward in an indomitable way. Then he saw a Gai army general riding a white war horse. He was stunned for a moment and immediately shouted: "Pang Lingming?" His voice was clear.
With a look of surprise.
It is well known that Pang De and Pang Lingming from Hanyang, Liangzhou, liked to ride white horses in battle. At the age of fourteen, he followed the hussar general Gai Jun on the battlefield. At the age of sixteen, he killed the Xianbei king and his company. At the age of seventeen, he was promoted to the captain of two thousand stone cavalry. Last year, he won the title of weakling.
He was promoted to Zhonglang Jiang, and he was the most famous young hero in the world. I didn’t want to meet him today.
"Kill this man, and I will be famous all over the world and be respected by heroes." Yan Liang's long and narrow eyes shot out with eager light, he rode his horse and danced with his halberd, and shouted: "I am Yan Zishan and Pang Lingming of Zhao State, take my life..."
Zhang Baiqi was surprised. Yan Zishan, the famous Jizhou general, had obviously recognized the wrong person. He drove his horse forward, whizzed his sword and pointed at Yan Liang's head, and shouted in a low voice: "There is no point in killing you, Pang Zhonglang, I am (Jizhou)
Zhongshan Zhang Baiqi is the same."
"How can I keep you when you are crowned as a monkey and pretend to be a famous general?..." Yan Liang's eyes flashed with a trace of embarrassment, and he felt like he had been deceived. He stabbed his halberd angrily and shouted loudly. As a Jizhou native, of course he had heard that
There was the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Baiqi. Although he was famous, he was far different from Pound. A hundred of his heads were not as good as a single hair on Pound's body.
Zhang Baiqi was furious. He had already liked riding a white horse, so why did he wear a monkey crown and pretend to be a famous general? With three more points of power in his hands, the swords of both sides crossed each other, each stabbing at the other.
"Looking for death..." Yan Liang sneered. He has had extraordinary arm strength since he was a child. The large iron halberd in his hand weighs eighty kilograms. His arms are thicker and longer than ordinary iron halberds. He has taken advantage in the battle. Now the two
If they don't give in to each other, he will definitely stab the other person first.
Zhang Baiqi's face was expressionless. When the halberd was about to hit his face, he suddenly leaned back with the help of his stirrup and narrowly avoided it. Yan Liang's eyes suddenly burst into horror. Unable to stop his horse, he hit the tip of the opponent's halberd.
, the whole body bounced off the horse's back and fell heavily to the ground.
Yan Liang had no time to pay attention to the pain in his chest and quickly rolled to the side. Zhang Baiqi couldn't stab him with his halberd. He tried to kill him again. Yan Liang's troops swarmed up and entangled Zhang Baiqi and Gai Jun's cavalry. Someone else stabbed him with his halberd.
The horse was surrendered, and several people carried Yan Liang onto the horse, turned around and fled for their lives. When the Jizhou soldiers noticed that Yan Liang was escaping, they dispersed without any intention of fighting to the death.
Zhang Baiqi led his cavalry in pursuit, but the sky was dark and he could not catch up with Yan Liang.
"Colonel Captain..."
Zhang Baiqi looked at the brightly lit Jizhou camp and said slowly: "Continue to blow the trumpet and harass the Jizhou soldiers. In addition, send people to send away the dead and injured in battle, search for dead horses, injured horses, put away the stirrups, don't
Let the people of Jizhou see it..."
"promise……"
Han Fu lay down and just fell asleep when he was woken up by the guards. He was very unhappy. However, he heard that the captain Yan Liang went out to fight and was severely injured. He had to hold up his heavy eyelids, get up and rush to visit.
When Han Fu arrived, there were already more than ten people gathered in Yan Liang's tent, all of whom were Sima, Du, and school captain levels. Zhu Ling and Gao Lan were also among them, and there was a tall young man standing beside them. Everyone in the tent, including Han
In terms of appearance, there is no doubt that he will come out on top. He has a strong body and is very handsome. Interestingly, he has a name that is completely opposite to his handsome appearance. His surname is Wen and his name is Chou.
Like Zhang Jiao, Yan Liang and others, he also took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and rose to prominence. This was in line with the old saying that good generals emerge from troubled times. Without Zhang Jiao's encouragement, they, those from good family backgrounds, became officials, while those from poor family backgrounds became knights.
, but he has no chance to join the military.
Han Fu walked to the bed, first comforted Yan Liang, and then asked the doctor: "How is Colonel Yan's injury?"
The doctor bowed and replied: "Colonel Yan's chest was stabbed very deeply. Fortunately, Captain Yan's armor is quite sophisticated and caught the edge of the halberd, otherwise he would have been in danger. Although Captain Yan is not in danger of his life now,
But it will take at least a few months to heal."
Han Fu nodded, turned his eyes to Yan Liang again, and asked: "Zi Shan bravely wins the three armies, who can hurt you?"
Yan Liang's gray complexion turned red suddenly. Who was injured was naturally Zhang Baiqi, but could he tell it? Having been famous for several years and being wiped out in one day, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him. It would definitely not happen. The emperor asked, and again
He had no choice but to answer, so Yan Liang had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "That man took advantage of me and attacked me unexpectedly. I didn't see his face clearly, but I saw that he was riding a white horse, which was very eye-catching. I guess he was Pang Lingming of Hanyang."
"So it's him?..." Han Fu suddenly understood. At the age of sixteen, Pang De killed King Xianbei and his company in the midst of thousands of troops. He was the most brave in the world. It was not unfair for Yan Liang to lose to him. He said: "Zi Shanxiao
Wu, if we fight openly and honestly, we may not lose."
Zhu Ling and Gao Lan looked at each other and saw the suspicion in each other's eyes. Pang De was from Liangzhou, so he should be used to using knives, but Yan Liang was obviously injured by a halberd. Furthermore, Pang De is indeed known for his bravery and good fighting skills.
, but now he is the Zhenwei Zhonglang General. Under the command of Hussar General Gai Jun, only Huwei General Gai Yin and Du Liao General Ma Teng are above him. Is it necessary for him to put down his body and come to harass him personally? I'm afraid
There is something hidden in it.
"kill……"
The shouts of death rang out again, filtering through the gaps in the tent and into everyone's ears. Han Fu immediately said angrily: "There will be no end... Gai Jun is really a despicable and shameless villain."
The generals were dumbfounded. Although they were not happy with Gai Jun's move, soldiers were deceitful and had nothing to do with being despicable and shameless?
Han Fu continued angrily: "Give me the order, and all the cavalrymen in the camp will attack and drive the opponent away."
Yan Liang had just brought out hundreds of cavalry, but most of them were lost. Now the total number of knights in the camp is less than 2,000. Gao Lan advised: "The cavalry of the Gai army is so powerful that it is better to supplement it with thousands of elite infantry."
Han Fu said displeasedly: "Zishan said that Gaijun's cavalry was only a thousand, but he killed hundreds of them, and now there are at least a thousand of them. With twice his strength, but he can't attack them, what's the point of fighting? It's embarrassing."
How about you? Why don't you just go ahead and capture Gai Jun, offer him the Jizhou Mu Seal Ribbon, and finally get a good reputation?"
Not only Gao Lan, but also all the generals in Jizhou were speechless.
In the end, the task of leading the army fell to Wen Chou. Wen Chou said that he would avenge Yan Liang and leave the camp in style.
Wen Chou's tactics were similar to Yan Liang's, which could be considered an enlarged version. That is, hundreds of people holding torches marched in front to search, while the army hid in the rear, divided into three groups, and spread out in a fan shape.
Zhang Baiqi continued to test and got the approximate number of the opponent. He was not surprised but happy. His own cavalry had already reported that the Jizhou cavalry was only two or three thousand, and the opponent was obviously "out in force". He had more than ten thousand knights equipped with stirrups, and again
If they send their fine cavalry to surround them, this battle is certain to be won, but they may not be able to annihilate them all. If they slaughter their cavalry, there will be no possibility for the people of Jizhou to return to Yecheng.
"Retreat, retreat..." Zhang Baiqi led the Gaijun cavalry and began to stride back again.
Wen Chou relied on the large number of people and ordered the army to light torches and launch a charge. However, he soon became confused. The opponent was actually able to frequently use the Looking Back Arrow in the dark night, not just one or two, but dozens or hundreds of people, with dense arrows hitting their faces.
As they approached, the torch-bearer and the people around him became targets. They screamed and fell off their horses, and were trampled to death by the hooves of the horses behind them.
A team of five hundred cavalry roared out from the side, cutting into the waist and ribs of the Jizhou man. Zhang Baiqi pulled the reins, made a circle and faced him head-on, and the two sides collided violently.
Wen Chou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The other party actually sacrificed his own strength and chose to fight hand to hand. What a stupid pig. The Jizhou soldiers who fought with Gai Jun may not agree with the general's view. Gai Jun was sacrificing his own strength. It was obvious that
Are you just better at hand-to-hand combat?
Wen Chou soon noticed something strange. Hundreds of torches from the front army either fell on the ground or floated to both sides. What did this mean? This meant that his own knights could not stop Gai's army at all.
Wen Chou's scalp felt numb for a while, and in just a moment, Gai Jun had already rushed straight in front of him.
"This assault speed... is too terrifying." Wen Chou's eyes widened, he pushed his halberd with all his might, stabbed one person down, turned the halberd's edge, and cut one's throat with the twig of the halberd. At this time, several knives came to his head, and Wen Chou raised his halberd and swept across.
There was a burst of sparks.
"How come everyone is so strong..." Wen Chou secretly complained, and suddenly a white horse came into view, and the general immediately raised his halberd and stabbed him.
"Pang Lingming?" Wen Chou didn't dare to be lazy. He twisted his waist and used his halberd to resist. With a "clang" sound, Wen Chou shook his body and turned back his halberd to chop off his head. The opponent ducked and stepped aside, and he fired another halberd. Wen Chou hurriedly blocked it.
, the two horses passed each other, and there was no chance of a third confrontation.
Wen Chou looked back and almost lost his mind. There were only a few hundred cavalry left behind him, and there were torches a little further away. It was not a large scale, but he had brought out two thousand cavalry...
The fighting spirit in Wen Chou's heart suddenly disappeared, and he killed several people in a row. Seeing the opportunity, he suddenly turned to the right, broke out of the siege, and led hundreds of riders into the dark scene at high speed. After turning three times and two times, he returned to the gate of the camp and faced Zhu.
Under the gazes of Ling and other generals, Wen Chou was so ashamed that he refused to enter, and stood with his back to the camp to meet the fleeing cavalry. For half an hour, people came back one after another, either alone or in groups, and the screams in the distance were not heard.
It rings again and again.
Wen Chou took a quick glance at the number of people, and his handsome face turned bitter, dissatisfied with the number of people.
