Li Kang saw this scene and said with grief and anger: "I want your life!"
He and the guards around him loaded crossbows and fired at Zhao Yun wildly.
"Hush, rest, rest!" More than a dozen crossbow arrows rushed towards Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun quickly took out a leather shield to protect his vitals, but three crossbow arrows pierced his body in an instant. Fortunately, it was not a vital part, but it only affected Zhao Yun's actions.
"Kill..." Li Kang roared angrily. He cut off Zhao Yun's iron spear with all his strength. Zhao Yun threw away the iron spear, pulled out the spare iron mace from his horse, and struck Li Kang in the chest.
Li Kang couldn't dodge, and his vision went dark, and he was immediately knocked off his horse!
Just when Zhao Yun wanted to continue killing Li Kang, Li Kang's personal guards rushed towards Zhao Yun and blocked his movement. Several others pulled Li Kang onto the horse and took her away from the front line of the battlefield.
Duan Peng had been paying close attention to the central battlefield with a telescope, when he found that one of his two generals had died in the hands of Zhao Yun, and the other had been severely injured.
"Quickly, let Wan Lang lead the men to rush forward and rescue He Feng and Li Kang."
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops and asks the soldiers on the front line to move back." Several messengers rode on war horses to convey Duan Peng's order.
"He Feng is too careless. Zhao Yun is a powerful general in Liu Bei's hands. He killed many of Zhang Chun's generals! How could he just charge forward like this!" Song Yi said sadly and indignantly.
It has been many years since an officer of the rank of captain has died in the Daqian Army.
Duan Peng sighed and said: "We were too careless. If the artillery in our hands could still exert its power, the situation on the battlefield would not have become so difficult."
"The strength of the Han army is no longer the same as before. Whether it is weapons and equipment, or even the bravery of the soldiers, they are quickly catching up with us. If we still see them with the same eyes as before, it will lead to the results we have today.
"
On the opposite side of the battlefield, Lu Bu and others discovered that Zhao Yun and the others had defeated the two cavalry battalions of Da Qian. They were overjoyed and said: "Zhao Yun's strength is even better than mine to take the general's head among all the armies!"
Yuan Tan said happily: "Now that the Daqian Army has withdrawn its troops, should we all attack? We took advantage of the situation and completely annihilated Duan Peng's army!"
If he really destroyed Daqian's army, maybe this would be the turning point in the battle of Yanzhou. He had made such great achievements, but his father still didn't pass on the title of heir apparent to him.
As in history, although Yuan Tan has made many military exploits, Yuan Shao still likes his youngest son the most and has not yet established himself as the heir apparent. So now Yuan Tan is a little anxious and wants to make unparalleled achievements and become the heir apparent of the Yuan clan.
.
But Lu Bu said: "It's not the time yet. Up to now, Da Gan's army has only dispatched three battalions of troops. Most of his troops have not yet mobilized. There are more cavalry than them. If we are not careful, we may be defeated. Now we have to
Find a way to let Duan Peng attack the central army, wait until Duan Peng and his men have exhausted most of their morale and the strength of their horses, and that's when we attack to annihilate him."
With Wan Lang's support, the two battalions quickly retreated to the rear to rest.
Wan Lang led five thousand cavalry towards Zhao Yun and the others, and the armies of both sides fought fiercely.
Although Zhao Yun, Wei Xu and the others had more troops together, they had been fighting for half a year and had consumed a lot of energy and morale.
Wan Lang's army was a fresh force, with 5,000 cavalry attacking left and right on the battlefield, unstoppable. Moreover, Wan Lang learned from Li Kang and the others, and had a group of guards protecting him. Zhao Yun and others wanted to behead him again. If he takes action, he will definitely let his guards use crossbows to force Zhao Yun back.
For a time, Wanlang's battalion and the soldiers of Zhao Yun and Wei Xu's battalion were evenly matched. The two armies continued to divide and outflank the battlefield, encircling them from left to right, trying to gain an advantage, but the battle situation was a stalemate, and the battle continued like this. afternoon.
The soldiers on both sides were starving, and both Duan Peng and Lu Bu had to withdraw their troops, ending the day's battle.
But today's battle was particularly cruel. More than 5,000 soldiers from both sides died, and the battlefield was stained with the blood of these soldiers.
Night! The big tent of the army in the army!
The atmosphere inside was a bit quiet, no one spoke, everyone was feeling sad about He Feng's death!
Finally, Duan Peng said: "I am responsible for He Feng's death in battle. I underestimated the strength of the Han army, especially the strength of the Han army generals. Zhao Yun was a world-famous military general. We didn't know how many of them we had in Jizhou back then. My companion died in the hands of Zhao Yun."
"But because everyone has defeated the Han army in recent years, not only do they look down on the Han army, but they even look down on the powerful generals in the Han army. I propose that in the future, officers with the rank of captain or above, unless they are absolutely necessary, , otherwise we shouldn’t rush to the front line.”
None of the others refuted! Although many generals like to fight on the front line, after this battle, they had to admit that the generals of the Han army were generally stronger than them.
Song Yi asked: "Where did General Huanglong go, and how long will it take for them to support us?"
After this battle, they all recognized the strength of the Han army. If they want to annihilate Lu Bu's army, they must wait for the support of Huanglong's 50,000 army!
Duan Peng said: "The Huanglong tribe has traveled sixty miles day and night, and now they are only about forty miles away from us. According to the current speed, they will start marching at the fourth watch tomorrow, and they should be able to reach the battlefield by noon."
Rang agreed to enter the expedition and contacted Huang Long, so he knew exactly where his army was.
Wan Lang said firmly: "Then we should try our best to consume the energy and morale of Lu Bu's army tomorrow morning. After General Huanglong arrives, we will launch a full-scale attack to completely eliminate Lu Bu!"
Others also nodded in agreement with this tactic!
After talking about the two sides, the camp of the Han army was very lively. Although the casualties of both sides today were similar, the generals on the Daqian army died after all, and most of the casualties on their side were infantry. If the infantry was replaced by cavalry, They had a small victory.
Seeing the hope of defeating Da Qian's army, everyone was very excited, so the big tent became lively.
"In tomorrow's battle, we will continue to focus on the infantry. We will find ways to mobilize the large army to attack our infantry, consume their morale and energy, and then the cavalry will launch a fatal blow! There is not much time left for us. No matter whether it is east or west now, The remaining large cadres of the county are still Duan Yun's cavalry. They all know that we are fighting Duan Peng and it will take them three or four days to support us, so we must defeat Duan Peng's troops within three days." Lu Bu said excitedly.
In his opinion, if Duan Peng's army continues to be consumed for two or three days, both morale and energy of Duan Peng's army will be reduced to a weak point, and then he can annihilate Duan Peng's 50,000 cavalry at the minimum cost.
In the past years, Da Gan's army has fought against the Han Dynasty, but it has never won such a great victory. By then, everyone in the world will know Lu Bu's name.
But Lu Bu's words aroused the dissatisfaction of the high-ranking officials. The Han cavalry was not injured, but their heavy infantry suffered heavy casualties, especially the defeated heavy infantry battalion, with nearly 2,000 people left on the battlefield. It can be said that this battle directly caused the soldiers of this battalion to lose their combat effectiveness.
Hao Meng said angrily: "Lu Bu, what do you mean? In today's battle, our infantry suffered the most casualties, and now you actually want to put us on the front line."
Lu Bu said calmly: "Our army only has these 30,000 cavalry. If you don't fight with the Da Gan Army, are you going to use up all the 30,000 cavalry in our army?"
