Chapter 1857 The suffering is not over yet and continues endlessly
In fact, Zhao Yun did not rush to Sanshi Bay with all his troops, but only more than 500 people. After all, whether it was setting up a pontoon or crossing the river, even with two boats, the fast-flowing Yingshui River was still a river.
The difficulties are neither big nor small, so the main force is actually still on the way.
But Xiahou Dun didn't know. He was not a god. First of all, Zhao Yun's early arrival had already shattered his original expectations. In addition, Zhao Yun launched the attack without hesitation, which made Xiahou Dun's originally shaken state of mind break once again. In Xiahou Dun's view,
, Zhao Yun immediately launched an offensive and began to invade his own troops. It was obvious that he had something to rely on, and what could he rely on? It must be the subsequent large forces. Zhao Yun did this in order to completely defeat himself and his soldiers.
Stay here!
I also saw that under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the hussars and horses were like beating steel waves, swallowing up his soldiers easily. One row, then one row, one team, then one team. The hastily formed interception formation could not resist at all.
Zhao Yun's invasion and majestic momentum made himself and his subordinates gradually turn pale.
Looking down from a high place, one could only see Zhao Yun's torrent of steel pouring into the intercepting infantry array arranged by Xiahou Dun. Then the next moment, his own infantry were scattered by the torrent, but Zhao Yun's speed was
Without losing half of their strength, the torrent of steel moved forward unstoppably, leaving behind them a mess of blood and flesh!
After all, Xiahou Dun's men were already exhausted from long battles...
Previously, these soldiers of Xiahou Dun were beaten to the point of collapse by Zhang Liao. They were inspired by the Yangzhai reinforcements and regained their vitality. However, adrenaline also has side effects and sequelae. Now seeing Zhao Yun is like a sharp knife.
, stabbed as much as they wanted, cut as much as they wanted, which instantly destroyed their remaining fighting spirit. They had put out all their efforts, chasing, switching to battle, and fighting bravely under Xiahou Dun's banner.
, just when the battle was about to be won, such a tyrannical cavalry appeared again!
It's so pitiful, is there really no way to survive?!
Zhao Yun's marksmanship is simply as good as a dragon and a horse flying in the air. Whenever Zhao Yun's Xiahou soldiers are faced with it, no matter how hard it is to parry, Zhao Yun's spear head will penetrate through the gap between the shield and the blade. No matter how hard he fights, Zhao Yun's spear
It must have hit his vitals faster...
Zhao Yun ran all the way, bringing out the bloody light all the way!
Zhang Liao's cavalry was enough to make things difficult for Xiahou Dun, and on the hillside far to the west, there seemed to be a steady stream of cavalry gathering. These hussars seemed to be gathering, waiting for them to collapse.
Then spread out the two wings to outflank and attack, hoping to stay here forever!
It's over, defeated, irreversible...
Xiahou Dun stared, stared, and finally raised his head to the sky, letting out a howl that he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing...
These days, Xiahou Dun calculated in Yangcheng, plotted in Yingshui, and commanded in front of the battle. He barely had a good day's rest. Faced with the current situation, Xiahou Dun finally chose to retreat, losing the chance to continue sitting at the gambling table and gambling.
Determination.
"Retreat, retreat..."
Xiahou Dun said these two words with difficulty, and his whole body seemed to disappear into the rain and mist along with these two words. He seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, and his body had become rickety.
As Xiahou Dun's order was issued, all the resistance of Cao's army, which was already in a hurry, suddenly collapsed. Many people dropped their weapons and ran away, regardless of whether they gave their backs to their opponents.
They were too tired, cold, hungry, and had no hope of victory. If they didn't escape, what else could they do?
After people lost hope, they were either so devastated that they were like zombies, or they gave up on themselves. Some of Cao's soldiers even jumped into the Ying River when they were desperate, allowing the current to lead them to death. Some of them were far away from the direction of the army, and there were woods.
Those who just wandered into the woods and fled into the bushes when there were bushes were undoubtedly soldiers with some brains. In their view, since the defeat of Cao Jun was irreversible, there was no need for them to follow Cao Jun's large army. Anyway,
The target of the hussar must be the big fish. It would be much safer for a small fish like himself to slip aside and give way.
Zhao Yun put away his spear and stared at Xiahou's flag wriggling away. His eyebrows moved slightly. He didn't know what he thought of, but he immediately ordered: "Go and see General Zhang first..."
The river beach in front of me was a mess of blood and flesh.
The corpses of both sides filled the surroundings. The blood on the ground was so thick that even the rain could not dissipate it. The prostrate corpses were huge and slightly whitish pink soaked by the rain. The bones of the broken limbs were white, hanging from the swords.
The yellow-green color of the intestines above the broken gun was stepped on, and not only the reddish-brown mud but also gray-black broken arms and limbs came up.
Many wounded soldiers lay half-lying in the mud and moaning, and many exhausted soldiers swayed and staggered with the support of their comrades, leaving the south bank of Yingshui River, which was like a yellow spring.
In this battle, most of Zhang Liao's troops were damaged, and even Zhang Chen died in the army. Although as a soldier, he was prepared to die in battle at any time, it was still a huge blow to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao's arms were so numb that he couldn't even hold the spear firmly. He could only let it fall into the blood on the ground. The armor on his body was also covered in scars, with some broken bones and flesh sticking to it.
His beard was condensed into several pieces, like a refugee who had been wandering for many years.
"I've met Brother Wen Yuan..." Zhao Yun stopped, slightly arched his hands, and said to Zhang Liao.
"Zilong..." Zhang Liao saw Zhao Yun and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but he also seemed to be crying, "Look at these...is this...something...wrong..."
When people are tired, they are more likely to be influenced by their mood. Just like most couples quarrel before and after dinner, tragedies are more likely to happen at night. When the fatigue accumulated in a day and the anger that has been suppressed for a day are like
When a volcano surges out, emotions tend to get out of control easily.
Now that Zhang Liao is exhausted physically and mentally, he can't help but fall into deep self-blame. He even begins to doubt everything he has done, the decisions he has made, and his personal abilities...
Zhang Liao had used the same strategy before, but it succeeded that time, but failed this time. If Zhao Yun hadn't arrived, even if Zhang Liao could escape, his soldiers would have suffered heavy losses. As a result, Zhang Liao couldn't bear to leave these soldiers.
He re-entered the siege again and again, but was never able to take the person out. If Zhao Yun hadn't arrived...
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, but did not say any words of relief. Instead, he dismounted and picked up Zhang Liao's spear from the side. It buzzed in the air, shook and shaken suddenly, and wiped away the stains on the barrel and tip of the spear.
Most of the muddy water and blood were shaken off, and then it was stabbed in front of Zhang Liao with a bang, "The enemy is defeated, would you like to take his head?"
Zhang Liao raised his head fiercely, stared at Zhao Yun, and then slowly stood up, holding the spear, "If you have five hundred soldiers, I will go and take Xiahou's head!"
Zhao Yun suddenly laughed and shook his head, "I'll give you five hundred right now. Where can I go to give you another five hundred? There are others behind me. How about Wenyuan summoning me here?"
"What?" Zhang Liao was speechless for a moment, then he pondered for a moment, and finally his head started to move, "I understand, if Zilong doesn't give up, I can summon the rear here!"
Zhao Yun also nodded and said: "In this case, without further delay, I will take the first step!"
Zhang Liao also handed over his hand, "Zilong, don't worry, I will definitely catch up within two hours!"
Seeing Zhao Yun whistle and then start chasing the defeated Xiahou Dun with his troops, Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh: "Zi Long is really brave..." Xiahou Dun retreated, but he still had the strength to fight, and Zhao Yun actually wanted to
Taking advantage of the current momentum, give Xiahou Dun the final blow and completely cripple him!
As a cavalry general, Zhang Liao understood Zhao Yun's intention almost immediately. First of all, normally, he should wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, then arrange the wounded soldiers, and then march forward. However, Zhao Yun moved so fast that the scene
Zhang Liao couldn't help but admire his decisiveness. Because if he waited for Zhao Yun's follow-up troops to arrive before pursuing the pursuit, Xiahou Dun's troops might have recovered from the initial panic, so Zhao Yun simply decided to start the pursuit directly.
The subsequent preparations and on-site organization were all arranged by Zhang Liao...
The second aspect of Zhao Yun's meaning is extremely precious to Zhang Liao. Zhao Yun made Zhang Liao responsible for the follow-up and arrangement of various matters, instead of depriving Zhang Liao of his right to command at the outset.
Tell Zhang Liao that the past has passed. There is only what can be done now and what can be done for the future. Grief and regret are meaningless emotions. Only actions are meaningful.
As the saying goes, you don't need a heavy hammer to beat a drum. Zhang Liao, who regained his composure, and Zhao Yun, truly determined the final outcome of the "Battle of Sanshi Bay" that was talked about by many people!
Among them, Xiahou Dun often serves as a negative teaching material and becomes the target of criticism and criticism...
Some people say that although Xiahou Dun was defeated, he should have the awareness of a commander and should gather his troops and organize his troops as soon as possible, so that he would not be defeated so miserably later; others said that Xiahou Dun should have discovered that the people who were chasing him were actually not there.
There are not as many as expected. They should take the initiative to look for fighters when retreating, and then ambush to counterattack; some people even said how could Xiahou Dun be so stupid. Similarly, Cao Cao made a mistake in handing over the general power to Xiahou Dun, and he should have divided the general power long ago.
It is better to come out and let the learned people plan and solve the problems. After saying this, he will puff up his chest for fear that others will not know that he is the so-called "learned person"...
All the careless statements about what should be done after the fact are based on the results that are already known to infer the process. Naturally, every choice is extremely correct and appears to be innately wise and unparalleled. However, in fact, when the thinking is chaotic and the situation is unclear,
Understandably, even Brother Zhu, who was demonized in history, could not still turn the tide after the defeat of Jieting.
During Xiahou Dun's escape to Yangdi, whenever Cao Jun stopped for a moment, the hussars and horses would almost immediately appear behind him like ghosts. However, the defeated Cao Jun was in panic and was unable to do anything effective.
As long as they saw the three-color flag appearing, they would just scream "Ouch" and run away.
Under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, the hussars took turns attacking. They did not necessarily chase and intercept all the fleeing Cao troops. The two of them just led the troops to surround and kill those who fell behind, or showed some resistance.
Cao Jun's intentions, but almost turned a blind eye to those Cao Jun soldiers who just knew how to escape.
After one or two times, almost all the soldiers of Cao's army understood that they did not need to resist, they just needed to run faster than the other guys!
The hussars who took turns advancing in the desert carried forward the tactics of chasing down the barbarians in the desert to Yingchuan and used them on Xiahou Dun. In the morning, they would urge Cao Jun to get up early and exercise, and then again when it was time to eat.
They come to send blessings, even at night, and they also send warmth to check the water meter, and ask Cao Jun, who is half asleep, to change his position and get up to pee or something...
As the commander-in-chief, Xiahou Dun thought of some ways, but the physical strength and morale of his soldiers had completely disappeared in the constant greetings and running. He had no time or energy to go back and set up any traps and ambush.
The only idea was to escape. It would be safe if he fled to Yangdi.
Under such circumstances, Xiahou Dun and others were defeated all the way. They ran from Sanshiwan to Yangzhai in one day and overnight, completing the ultra-high march standard of one hundred marches a day and eighty marches at night! It can be said that they used
The two legs ran at the speed of six legs!
However, the blow to Xiahou Dun did not only come from his opponent...
After Xiahou Dun was defeated and retreated to Yangdi, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had no siege equipment, and the pursuit also consumed a lot of energy, so they naturally retreated to gather their troops and restore preparations.
At this time, Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan came from the north with Cao's cavalry who were also in a state of embarrassment.
When Xiahou Dun originally heard that Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan had arrived, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He thought that Yangdi would be stabilized in this way, but when he actually saw it, he couldn't help but turned pale and said, "What's going on? Could it be that he suffered again?"
Cavalry ambush?!』
Because the cavalry of Cao's army who came were also in a state of disarray. They didn't look like they had taken a rest at all. Instead, they looked as if they had just suffered a defeat. Even Xia Houyuan was wounded and had one arm hanging on his chest.
Xiahou Yuan murmured nothing, but Cao Chun had no intention of taking the blame for Xia Houyuan, so he reported what happened to Xiahou Dun...
