Two hundred and eightieth chapters open the bow left and right
Chapter 286: Shooting the bow from left to right
On the official road east of Hangu Pass, there was only a roar between the sky and the earth. Two turbulent black rivers rushed together with an indomitable momentum. The loud noise was so violent that it seemed to tear the earth apart.
, tear the sky apart, shake the clouds away...
It was as big as a forest, layer upon layer, airtight, and there was no fancy collision between the two sides. Row after row of knights only had time to let out a scream before they fell to the ground with their mounts, and were immediately trampled by countless horse hooves.
The ground was a mess of blood and flesh, nothing was left, as if they had never come to this world.
The wind in the late spring and early summer in the north was mixed with a disgusting smell of blood, which stimulated the eyes of the soldiers on both sides as red as blood, and they screamed for killing like a tide, and rain of swords from the forest rained down on each other.
"Kill..." Pang De roared and smashed out the iron rods. Several wooden poles that were thrust straight at the iron rods were broken immediately. Pang De roared again and swung the iron rods again. Three or four Dong Jun tried their best to resist, and then they felt a burning sensation in their chests.
, something flowed out of the mouth and nose, and all of them flew off the horse's back, and then were knocked away again by the horses rushing from behind.
"Kill..." Pang De's second blow swept away several people, and his third shot clearly no longer seemed crowded, showing his unparalleled bravery.
A large flag appeared in Pang De's eyes, and its momentum became stronger. The big flag waved into the wind. The Dong Jun knights in front of him either died or collapsed. Pound cut through the waves and flew to the flag on Pegasus.
General Dong watched Liangzhou's famous "White Horse Pang Lingming" approaching with great momentum. He was frightened and couldn't avoid it, so he bit the bullet and stabbed him with his spear. Pang De roared, opened the big spear and stabbed it like lightning.
When he hit his throat, Dong Jiang was startled and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it. Zifeng flew the iron bag on his head, and Dong Jiang's tightly tied long hair spread like flowers.
Pang De missed the blow and swept across the side of his neck with his sword head, and a flash of blood burst out. General Dong screamed and fell from his horse. Pang De was afraid that he would not die, so he pierced his body with a sword, picked him up, galloped wildly, and smashed into the crowd.
.
"Long live long live..."
Seeing that the general was so brave, the generals and soldiers in the army were full of morale and marched forward indomitably, fighting with all their strength.
Gai Jun commanded the knights behind him who were still unable to engage in the battle to shoot upwards. The arrows soared into the sky and extended toward the interior of Dong's army, thereby reducing Pang De's pressure.
In the so-called cavalry charge, galloping in densely packed formations is a recipe for death. Several horse positions must be left on the front, rear, left and right. Even if stirrups are equipped, the density cannot be changed. Therefore, when two cavalry armies are fighting head-on, they will often penetrate each other.
When Pang De led his troops to break into Dong's army, Li Meng naturally also led his cavalry to attack Dong's army. Li Meng followed Dong Zhuo for twenty years. Dong Zhuo started in Liangzhou and served as the captain of Wuji School in the Western Regions. He also served as the governor of Bingzhou.
In this position, Li Meng defeated the Qiang people of Liangzhou, the barbarians of the Western Regions, and the Xianbei grassland on the battlefield... It can be said that he defeated the nomadic peoples in the northwest of the Han Dynasty. He has experienced hundreds of battles and has experienced a lot.
But this was the first time I saw a cavalryman as powerful as Gai Jun.
There were long swords in all directions, and the personal guards could not stop them. In the blink of an eye, Li Meng was hit several times, and blood flowed profusely. The soldiers of the Gai army seemed to be integrated with their mounts, and they could often do things that made Li Meng dream.
It's a difficult move that I dare not even think of, even standing upright. Li Meng can also stand upright by relying on one side of the stirrup, but the problem is that it is useless. If he makes a chop, his center of gravity will be unstable and he will fall off the horse.
Why is Gai Jun not afraid?
As the offensive became more intense, Li Meng did not dare to think too much, and struggled to fight in a panic. The situation of Sergeant Dong's soldiers and General Li Meng was similar. The opponent's sword attack would come from any place, making it difficult to prevent, and the death toll increased sharply.
If you look down from above, you will see two long steel dragons entangled and biting each other. Although Gai Jun was chipped away layer by layer, Dong Jun was even worse, losing weight rapidly at a visible speed.
--------------------------
Due to the distance, Gao Shun received the news of Gai's attack earlier than Lu Bu, and he has been paying close attention to the situation. When he heard about the fall of Pingyinjin, he knew that Lu Bu would definitely not defend Luoyang, so he quietly ordered the army to prepare for withdrawal.
, as soon as he received Lu Bu's order, he immediately led his army and left. No property was allowed to be taken.
In fact, letting the soldiers take some and put them in their arms does not affect the march, but Gao Shun knows human nature very well. The so-called temptation is infinite. Faced with gold and silver within easy reach, the soldiers must not be able to withstand the temptation, and will even hesitate to get more.
It is forbidden to take off armor and abandon troops, otherwise the morale of the army will be shattered and there will be no chance of returning to Hangu Pass.
After traveling for more than ten miles to the west, Gao Shun gradually frowned. Lu Bu had said that they would meet on the way. Even if the army had not arrived at this time, there should have been scouts arriving. Why was there no sound?
"Could it be..."
Gao Shun didn't want to force himself to think about the worst, but the cruel reality forced him not to think about it.
The personal guards and the scouts who came from afar were chatting in low voices. When they saw Gao Shun looking over, they said in a low voice: "Captain, Lieutenant Commander Dong (Yi) is here."
Gao Shun nodded. Both armies knew that the situation was dangerous, so they merged silently and quickly headed west.
"High School Lieutenant..." Dong Yi drove his horse to Gao Shun, looked around, and said with doubts on his face. "High School Lieutenant, why don't you see Lu Zhonglang? Could it be that he plans to defend Luoyang."
Gao Shun shook his head and said: "I withdrew the troops after receiving orders from Lu Zhonglang. Lu Zhonglang said we would meet on the way..."
"..." Dong Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
Gao Shun knew that he was suspicious and this matter could not be hidden. He smiled bitterly and said: "If I am not mistaken, Lu Zhonglang probably left by the south road."
"South Road, Luoshuinan? Damn, you have betrayed him..." Dong Yi was startled. He was not stupid. He immediately understood Lu Bu's little trick and said angrily: "How dare you, Lu Bu, use me as bait? You are a coward?"
God, you are so brave..."
"..." Gao Shun smiled even more bitterly.
Dong Yi wanted to vent his anger on the fellow Lu Bu in front of him, but he was also a victim, and Gao Shun had five thousand soldiers and was stronger than him. He had to rely on him for the rest of the way, so he had to whip his whip and curse.
: "Lü Buyongnu first harmed Hu (Zhen) Wencai, and now he has plotted against me. When you return to Hangu Pass safely and don't let the Grand Master pull out your skin or cramp your tendons, I will do whatever you want.
surname"
"Hangu Pass..." Gao Shun stared deeply into the west. "Can I still go back..."
Knowing that they had been abandoned by Lu Bu, the two bereaved Dong troops became even more panic-stricken and ran to the river at almost the fastest speed. However, before they could take a breath, they found that the bridges had been destroyed and the other side could be seen clearly.
Seeing the cavalry wandering around, Dong Jun's officers and soldiers were certainly not so naive as to think that the people on the other side were their own, and they suddenly became heartbroken and turned pale.
Dong Yi cursed Lu Bu all the way. At this time, he could no longer care about the curse. He grabbed Gao Shun's hand and asked in a hoarse voice: "Gao Xiaowei, what should we do?"
Gao Shun stared at the west bank for a long time and suggested: "There are not many people on the other side. You and I can divide our forces into two groups and look for opportunities to cross the river."
Dong Yi was stunned, reacted very quickly, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go to the south, and you go to the north." Pingyin in the north is currently occupied by Gai's army, and the army is gathering, making it countless times more dangerous than the south.
Gao Shun had long expected that the other party would definitely propose this idea and nodded silently.
Dong Jun did not hesitate and immediately split into two.
The water was not short, and Bao Chu could not tell which section Dong Jun would come from, so he divided his cavalry to explore. When he received Dong Jun's arrival and divided his troops, he was in the north. Hearing that there were many people going north and few going south, Bao Chu ordered his second brother, Sima
Bao Ya rode Qianqi to the south.
After Gai Jun rose to prominence, all the generals under his command followed him. Their official positions were getting higher and higher, but they were short of manpower. As the saying goes, "brothers fighting tigers", it is better to employ people from your own family, so they all used their hometown and relatives. For example, Gai Yin, the mighty general of the tiger, appointed his brother Gai Xu as the general's mansion.
Not to mention Ma Teng, the general of Sima and Liao Dynasty, his younger brother Ma Ju was the captain of the north. His eldest son Ma Chao grew up by Gai Jun's side. Zhenwei Zhonglang general Pang De followed his brother Pang Rou and Zongzong.
He has dozens of relatives, including Huang Zhongzi, Huang Xuye, a lieutenant general in the Dian army, who has joined the army with him, and so on.
Bao Chu has five brothers in his family, and he ranks third. Except for the fifth brother who is still young, the eldest brother Bao Chu, the second brother Bao Ya, and the fourth brother Bao Cheng were all introduced to the Gaijun system by Bao Chu. The eldest brother Bao Chu is not good at martial arts. Currently, Bao Chu is not good at martial arts.
He served as a county official in Hedong. His second brother Bao Ya and his fourth brother Bao Cheng were in the army. The second brother Bao Ya made great contributions in the battle of Jizhou and was promoted to Sima by Gai Jun.
Dong Yi traveled several miles south and was overjoyed when he saw an intact bridge. Xiao* had four thousand troops stationed at Pingjing Pass. He lost hundreds of them last night and left hundreds more before leaving. Now he still has two thousand infantry under his command.
Eight, if you have 400 cavalry, the opponent only has 1,000 cavalry. If you charge hard, the chance of success is high.
This bridge is no better than the Changshui Bridge outside Yecheng. Although horses can pass, they have to walk slowly and cannot gallop. Bao Ya had to order the knight to dismount on the shore and hold a bow to stop it.
For a while, arrows from both sides were like rain, and you came and I went. Soon, the water was dyed red, and the grass on the bank was also dyed red.
Bao Ya's face gradually darkened. Generally speaking, his side had the upper hand in the crossfire, but the casualties were not small and it was not cost-effective, so he quickly ordered his soldiers to retreat and let the other side pass.
Dong Yi secretly laughed at the opponent's lack of knowledge and rushed to the opposite side with 400 cavalry. The purpose was to entangle Gai Jun and buy time for the infantry to cross the river. When Bao Ya saw Dong Jun's 400 cavalry roaring towards him, he turned around and ran away.
Dong Yi laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears. Is this the invincible Gaijun cavalry?
Gai's army was running and shooting. The knights of Dong's army who were chasing behind them fell off their horses one after another. Before they could run more than a mile, nearly half of them were lost. They hesitated to stop. Dong's cavalry did not advance, and Gai's army did not press.
Dong Yi's face was ashen, but he felt a little relieved when he saw that the infantry was quickly reaching the west bank.
After Dong Jun's infantry had crossed most of the river, Bao Ya gave an order, and Gai Jun suddenly launched a charge. They killed more than two hundred cavalry in one encounter, and then quickly pounced on the infantry. When they came up, they used the old rules, three
The arrow shot out and was as sharp as a knife. Dong's army collapsed and countless people fell into the water.
Seeing that his own army was defeated by a single blow from the opponent, Dong Yi, with a pale face, pushed away the crowd surrounded by more than a dozen personal guards, and tried to escape to the other side. However, as soon as he took one foot to board the bridge, he was blocked by a steady stream of people from behind.
Soldiers kept squeezing into the water. He was born in Western Xinjiang and was not good at water. He had countless people pressing on his head and couldn't breathe, so he drowned alive.
Seeing the defeat on the west bank, hundreds of soldiers on the east bank were so frightened that they dispersed in a rush.
