Chapter 250 Zhang Fei’s assault, counterattack, and defense

 Zhang Fei, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Duan Xuan chased westward for a day and finally caught up with Hu Chi'er's troops behind the Liangzhou Army Palace.

Hu Chi'er was escorting the residents and food and grass, and was leisurely enjoying the waiters of the rich family members, when he suddenly heard Guo Si's men and horses approaching quickly behind him, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

He believed that Guo Si had been squeezed out by Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan and had not benefited from Dongdu, so he rushed after him to ask Dong Zhuo for an explanation.

"Let the little ones keep an eye on the food supply and don't let anyone touch it!"

Seeing that Hu Chi'er was almost defenseless, Zhang Fei commanded three thousand elite cavalry to launch an assault at the headquarters of the Chinese army.

Starting at a hundred paces and launching a standard charge, Hu Chi'er noticed something was wrong through the telescope.

"The chicken is gone! Is Guo Bin really here? Be on alert, the whole army is on alert!!"

However, it took time to pass the order, but Zhang Fei used fast to beat slow, and did not give his opponent a chance.

The iron hooves of the pursuers were right in front of them, and most of Hu Chi'er's troops didn't even have time to put on their armor and pick up weapons.

Hu Chi'er's total strength was five thousand, and they formed a long queue, which made it easier to guard the captured young women and grain.

Therefore, the three thousand elite cavalry selected by Zhang Fei neatly cut Hu Chi'er's queue into four or five sections.

Then they repeatedly charged into the formation and gradually strangled them. Hu Chi'er's five thousand men were in a state of confusion and did not even have a decent counterattack.

Hu Chi'er suddenly discovered that the ones charging into the battle were actually the Northern Army's Tunqi and Yueqi.

In addition, there are not only Guo Si's capable men, but also Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan's mazai.

Damn it, the three families actually united with the Northern Army to rebel! Are you too brave?

However, the defeat was overwhelming. Although Hu Chi'er had always been tough, he could not withstand the impact of four elite troops, and the troops were all scattered.

In desperation, he had no choice but to run away with more than a hundred personal guards.

Just wait, I'll call someone!

As soon as Hu Chi'er ran away, the leaderless troops either fled or surrendered, and the battle came to an abrupt end.

Zhang Fei took a general glance at the battlefield and saw that there were more than 100,000 residents intercepted, with countless grain, grass and property.

So an order was sent, and the more than 100,000 residents dispersed into six or seven groups and quickly returned to the eastern capital.

Four troops stayed behind to block the incoming main force of the Liangzhou Army.

"Fat Dong will probably send Li Que back, but Lao Cao, Lao Yuan and Lao Sun will arrive in less than a day. Everyone, let's wait here for a day and kill Li Que."

Duan Xuan said: "Can you ambush Lao Li?"

Guo Bang laughed and said: "Old Li is smarter than any ghost. It's not easy to trick him."

Looking at the grain trucks everywhere, Zhang Ji said: "However, we can use the money and goods, and maybe we can bite a piece of meat from the pioneers."

These three people know all the characters in Liangzhou very well, so the suggestions they put forward are quite feasible.

Zhang Fei believed in the tactical principle that it is better to cut off one of the enemy's ten fingers than to hurt him. He felt that it would be better to stimulate and like Li Que first.

As a result, a large amount of wealth was thrown on the roadside, including silks, gold, silver, copper coins, and even drinks and food, all exposed to the sun.

After doing all this, Zhang Fei quietly waited for the arrival of the Liangzhou Army.

Sure enough, Li Que led 20,000 cavalry and hurried over on Dong Zhuo's order.

Five thousand pioneers rushed over the mountains and plains with great momentum.

"Go steadily and be prepared to counterattack."

Zhang Fei led everyone back slowly.

The more than 20,000 cavalry brought by Li Que were not his own troops, but a mixture of seven or eight troops.

These Liangzhou soldiers, who like to rob, relaxed their vigilance when they saw the enemy troops retreating. When they saw money and property somewhere, they immediately rushed to rob them, disrupting their formation.

There is gold and silver all over the ground, and if you don’t pick it up, you can’t pick it up. Isn’t it just to make money when you join the army?

As for the Northern Army and the traitors, whoever wants to chase them should be chased.

Zhang Fei's troops had not retreated far. Seeing the chaos in Li Que's vanguard formation, he immediately launched a counterattack.

The heavy cavalry is in the center, the light cavalry is on the left and right wings, in a front-arrow formation, turning around and pounces.

There is a saying in ancient Chinese art of war that "victory cannot be restored", but art of war is dead and people are alive. Therefore, this counterattack was a great success.

Zhang Fei captured nearly 3,000 cavalry at the cost of less than a thousand men, completely defeating Li Que's vanguard.

The battle is not over yet, Li Que has already arrived with his Pegasus, and a cavalry group of tens of thousands of people roars in.

Zhang Fei shouted at the top of his lungs: "Retreat, run!"

Li Que had strong troops and many tricks, and won Dong Zhuo's trust. Therefore, with high morale, he pointed at Zhang Fei's troops who were gathering to retreat and ordered: "Charge over and kill them!"

Zhang Fei's troops fought two battles in a row, and both men and horses were exhausted. At this time, he took advantage of your illness and killed you. He undoubtedly seized the opportunity.

Zhang Fei ran eastward while turning his head to see where his pursuers were.

When Li Que's main force arrived at the place where the grain and wealth were scattered, there was no looting, but they pounced on Zhang Fei unswervingly.

Zhang Fei suddenly raised his left hand, and the entire army stopped immediately. The Shengshui camp lit rockets and fired freely at the food and cargo vehicles.

When Li Que saw clearly that the opponent was shooting rockets, the tragic scene on the hill next to Mengjin Ferry left him with lingering fear.

While his main force was advancing under a hail of flaming arrows, a grain bag on a cart caught fire.

The next moment, the gunpowder powder sprinkled on the grain truck was ignited, and the fire suddenly expanded.

Then, more and more grain trucks were set alight, and the fire spread instantly.

A gust of north wind blew, and the fire spread to all directions. The scene was filled with smoke. A large number of Liangzhou Army soldiers were caught in the sea of ​​​​fire, which was very miserable.

The Han army was too cunning and despicable, and Li Que was furious after being plotted against him, but he had no other choice but to withdraw his troops and stabilize the situation.

Seeing that Li Que was hesitant and showing signs of retreating, Zhang Fei glanced at Guo Si and said, "Old Guo, go over and say hello and leave him alone."

Guo Si touched his chin and smiled evilly.

Li Que saw Guo Si running towards him and urged his horse forward.

"Guo Duo, you are such a bitch that you are eating the rice in the bowl and smashing the pot. Is there any way to do this?"

"Old Li, calm down the fire." Guo Si said: "Old Dong has no future, can't you follow him all the way to the dark side?"

But Li Que couldn't listen, and shouted loudly: "Fart! Come out and be loyal, my old boss will treat me well. At worst, I will die. I will be a good man again in eighteen years!"

Guo Bang nodded and said: "Okay, since you, Lao Li, have decided to be loyal to Fatty Dong to the death, I don't want to persuade you much. But there is a small matter that I want to discuss with you, okay?"

Li Que righteously refuted Guo Si's persuasion to surrender. He was so arrogant that when he heard that the other party wanted something from him, he said generously: "Say what you say."

"Well, we are brothers. After you die, you might as well leave all the dozens of sisters-in-law in your family to me to take care of them!"

Li Que's face froze and he stared at Guo Bang in disbelief.

Why the hell are you so mean? How dare you take advantage of my wife and concubine?

Guo Si's men couldn't help but pointed at Li Que and laughed.

Guo Bang, this wicked thing, even deliberately said: "If you don't bother the two masters, why don't you give me your daughters too!"

"Fuck you!"

Li Que's anger was like a volcano erupting. He immediately picked up a spear and pointed it at the opponent, shouting: "I'll kill you!"

The general charged into the formation, but his subordinates did not dare to retreat. They followed suit one after another and surrounded Guo Si together.

When Guo Bang saw that the "Inciting General Technique" was taking effect, he immediately ran back. As he ran, he turned around and explained: "Hey, Lao Li, I have good intentions. Have you misunderstood?"

Li Que's teeth chattered as he led his army to stare at Guo Si in front.

This bitch is so damn cheap!

Zhang Fei didn't expect that Guo Si's few words would arouse Li Que's anger, and he couldn't help but praise: "Old Guo really has a way! Send an order to the entire army to hold the line."

Wow!

The four camps of Changshui were stationed in a solid position and set up defensive formations. On both sides were the surrendered Liangzhou soldiers. They had their bows and arrows ready to face the impact of the Liangzhou army.

Eight thousand versus twenty thousand, Zhang Fei, who is on the defensive side, is not worried at all.
