There was a chaos outside the huge Nanluan County. Zhao Yun and Guan Yu were unable to fight. Wenpin, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Chu Yan, Chen Dao, Pang De, and Zhou Cang took advantage of the cavalry to quickly break through Zhao Jun's first attack.
One and two lines of defense, and completely knocked out the Yan army's majesty.
When the north gate of Nanluan County was opened, Chen Dao and Chu Yan were fighting non-stop outside the north gate. The Zhao soldiers who were trampled by the cavalry had nowhere to hide. There were corpses lying everywhere outside the city, and these corpses
They were trampled by the Yan army's cavalry, and their flesh and blood were covered with blood. The ground was in a mess, and the smell of blood permeated the entire land.
Taishi Ci, Hu Yu, Gao Lin, Liao Hua, and Lu Heng each led a thousand cavalry and filed out from the north gate. Gao Fei poured out under the escort of light and heavy infantry led by Bai Yu and Li Yulin.
city gate.
When Chen arrived, Chu Yan saw Gao Fei leaving the city, so he gathered his troops and horses together, concentrated all the cavalry and began to rush towards Zhao Jun's third line of defense. The two led more than 7,000 cavalry and galloped at lightning speed.
Got out.
The Zhao army infantry defending the third line of defense suddenly retreated one after another. No one or two stopped resisting, and retreated about fifty meters. Everyone turned around together, with their giant shields standing on the ground and their spears resting on their giants.
In the gaps between the shields, archers and crossbowmen were all scattered on both wings, immediately forming a tight defensive formation.
In the tight camp, Han Meng stood up with a long sword and was surrounded by thousands of troops. When he saw Chen arrived, Chu Yan's cavalry was about to rush in. There was a trace of joy on his face, and he shouted loudly: "
Shoot the arrow!"
"Whoosh..." The arrows were like rain. Under the gray sky, it was hard to see how far they flew.
The Yan army's cavalry rushed forward without fear, but before the enemy's arrows fell, Chen Dao, who was rushing at the front, Chu and Yan suddenly felt their horses stumble, and their bodies fell downwards together with the horses' bodies.
A large deep pit appeared, with countless sharpened wooden stakes inserted in the pit. If humans and animals fell down, they would only die.
When Chen arrived, Chu Yan's pupils suddenly dilated. They were both elites on horseback. When encountering this situation, without thinking, they immediately supported the horse's back with both hands, stood up on both feet, and jumped forward.
With one leap, he jumped to the earth wall opposite the pit. His body was pressed tightly against the earth wall, but he heard the sound of people and animals falling into the pit behind him.
Looking back, I saw the Yan army cavalry flipping over one by one, and the sharp wooden stakes penetrated the bodies of the horses. The one or two thousand cavalry at the front were not prepared at all, and they had no time to react as quickly as they did. They fell into the depths.
The moment he entered the pit, even if he was not driven to death by wooden stakes, he would be crushed to death by the soldiers behind him who could not rein in their horses.
Blood flowed into a river in the deep pit, and the bright red blood dyed the entire loess, and soon formed a bloody quagmire. Some people who were not yet dead stared at the survivors Chen Dao and Chu Yan with frightened eyes.
With his last breath he shouted "General, go away quickly".
Taishi Ci, Hu Yu, Liao Hua, Gao Lin, and Lu Heng saw that Chen Dao and Chu Yan, who were in charge of the charge in front, fell into the horse trap arranged by Zhao Jun. The remaining five thousand cavalry faced the long and wide horse trap.
There was nothing they could do about the deep pit. They could not jump forward with their horses. When they saw Tai Shici and others following behind, they joined forces. Ten thousand cavalry lined up in front of a long horse pit. They could only watch.
The flat land opposite was filled with excitement.
Dense arrows suddenly shot out from the dark sky. One arrow after another penetrated the vital points of many soldiers that were not covered by steel armor. Immediately, another group of people fell into the enemy's arrow rain.
Gao Fei caught up from behind and was stunned when he saw the movement in front. He personally led the army to pass by. At that time, everything was normal on the ground to the north, but why did a curve suddenly appear when he came out?
He was trapped in a horse trap, and he couldn't figure it out.
The arc-shaped trap formed a crescent shape. Once it was triggered by Chen and Chu Yan, the trap collapsed completely, forming a siege around the north gate of Nanluan County. If the trap cannot be broken through
If you fall into a trap, you will not be able to successfully break through.
"My lord, Chen Dao and Chu Yan have both fallen into the horse trap, and their lives are uncertain!" Lu Heng came back immediately to report.
Gao Fei became extremely calm. He kept thinking: "I can't panic, I have to calm down. There must be some way. I shouldn't be stuck here. I have to calm down, calm down..."
"Fire arrows!" Zhao Jun, who was arrayed in formation on the opposite side of the trap, fired a large number of arrows densely as Han Meng shouted, flying down from the sky full of dense clouds, and shot down another
The cavalry wants to force the cavalry near the horse trap to retreat!
Taishi Ci, Hu Yu, Liao Hua, and Gao Lin commanded the troops separately, took out the bows and arrows from their backs, and fired at the enemies on the opposite side. However, the result of the shooting was that the range of cavalry bows was far inferior to that of infantry bows, not to mention the strong bows and hard crossbows of Jizhou.
The famous one can shoot about two to three hundred paces
, and the Qi bows with the same range were only equipped with a very small number of people in the Yan army, and they could not compete with the Zhao army's crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time. Under the threat of the enemy's powerful arrow array, everyone could only retreat temporarily.
Withdrew beyond the range of enemy archers.
The Yan army's 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry were all blocked at the north gate. Facing the insurmountable horse traps on three sides, everyone was at a loss. The morale that had been high at the beginning of the charge gradually began to decline.
All the generals gathered around Gao Fei and said in unison: "Master, we are incompetent, please punish me!"
There was a trace of sadness on Gao Fei's face, and he said slowly: "The fault of this battle is all mine, and it has nothing to do with you. You fought desperately to escort me, so how can I blame you? This huge trap should be
It has been set up a long time ago. When we came here, we left in the official direction.
Everything was normal on the road and on the official road, but they ignored that there might be a secret buried under the fields. Now I finally know why Jushou started to besiege instead of attacking, but to prepare enough time to dig this trap.
It’s just... Chen Dao and Chu Yan both..."
"My lord, Chen Dao and Chu Yan will definitely be auspicious. Please rest assured, lord. The most important thing now is to escort the lord to escape from this dangerous place. Although we lost this battle, we did not suffer much damage. Zhao Yun, Huang
Zhong and others are still fighting bloody battles, we should go back immediately and break out from other doors." Taishi Ci said loudly.
Gao Fei said: "Retreat to the city and break out from the west gate."
As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of horse infantry troops began to turn back to Nanluan County, and the army began to break out from the west gate.
Outside the west gate, Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang were fighting bloody battles. Yuan Shao sent Wen Chou, Zhang Fei, and Jiang Yiqu to increase the troops at the north gate, but they were stopped here by their two troops. Together, they only had 8,000 cavalry.
originally
To deal with the 50,000 infantry displayed outside the west gate, there were now 30,000 more horse infantry, which directly caused two people to be surrounded by the army. After a fight, the 8,000 cavalry were not much left, with less than 3,000.
That's all.
Huang Zhong rushed into the enemy camp with his sword and slashed wildly. A bunch of heads would fall wherever he passed. It was astonishing that a man had made a huge killing in the enemy camp. Zhou Cang didn't even notice.
Not showing any signs of weakness, he started to chop with all his strength after gearing up for a long time. The blade of the steel sword in his hand had been cut and curled, but Zhou Cang continued to fight as usual, using the sword to kill many enemies.
Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang and three thousand cavalry were surrounded on a ridge outside the west gate. They were being besieged by Yuan Shao's generals such as Wen Chou, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang and other generals.
As soon as Gao Fei led the generals out of the west gate, seeing this scene, he immediately said: "Tai Shi Ci, Gao Lin, Lu Heng, Hu Yu, Liao Hua, lead the cavalry quickly to support Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang!"
After all the generals agreed in unison, Taishi Ci led his four generals Wangmen, Shan Jing, Tian Kai and Zou Dan and rushed forward; Hu Yu led his generals Wang Wenjun and Shi Jie and the cavalry followed closely.
Afterwards, two groups of men and horses, one on the left and one on the right, were like two sharp blades, piercing directly from the back of Zhao Jun. Taishi Ci and Hu Yu opened two big halberds.
Six generals, Lu, Wang Wenjun, Shi Jie, Wang Men, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, and Zou Dan followed closely behind. The thousands of cavalry behind also showed their ferocious side and pounced directly. Lu Heng, Gao Lin,
Liao Hua and the other three were covering the left, middle and right sides with two halberds and three spears. At this moment, the five generals of the Eighteen Hussars showed unprecedented bravery.
Bai Yu followed Gao Fei. Seeing the chaotic battlefield in front of him, he hurriedly said to Gao Fei: "My lord, this is the time when the heavy infantry will join the battle. Please speed up and I will bring a heavy infantry team to support."
Gao Fei said: "Okay, I'll give you five thousand heavy infantry. They must form a tight formation to prevent the enemy from invading."
Bai Yu clenched his fists and said to Gao Fei: "My lord, I am Queen Bai Qi. This is the time to show my lordship. I will definitely protect your lord."
Li Yulin had always wanted to go to the battlefield, but now he became anxious and hurriedly said to Gao Fei: "My lord, I am also willing to lead the troops to fight."
Gao Fei said: "No, you can't leave. How can I understand the situation around here if you leave? Quickly send orders to the east gate and south gate, and ask Xu Huang, Wenpin, Zhao Yun, and Pang De to lead their troops to the west gate. I
The army must rush out from here now and strive to break through the enemy's defenses in one go."
Li Yulin had no choice but to convey the words immediately.
Gao Fei came out this time without the dragon gun, so he immediately pulled out the steel knife from his waist, shouted loudly, and rushed forward with all 15,000 infantrymen behind him in an attempt to reduce the pressure on Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang.
However, what he didn't expect was that his every move was watched by Ju Shou from a distance.
When Jushou saw that Gao Fei had changed his breakout route, he also made adjustments accordingly and immediately had all the soldiers gather at the west gate in an attempt to surround Gao Fei again on the plain.
