Sun Ben's army suddenly rushed out from the east, catching the Han army defending this area off guard. Thousands of Han Swordsmen quickly entered the formation and fought to the death. These Han Swordsmen were all the best among the elite of Yuan Shu's army, and the Han Swordsmen they used were all
It is made of fine iron, and the selected soldiers are all eight-foot strong men who are one in a hundred. Ordinary leather armor cannot withstand two swords.
As expected, the front line of the Han army could not resist and retreated.
After this retreat, the formation suddenly fell into disarray. Yuan Shu's cavalry, which had been hiding behind, rushed out and ravaged the retreating troops. The Han infantry fell out of formation and suddenly dispersed, squeezing into Liu Bei's headquarters.
’s back, causing a moment of confusion.
A part of the cavalry that was originally covering the attack on Ji Ling's camp saw a surprise attack on their backs.
Just turn the horse's head,
They came back and tried to fight off the Yuzhou cavalry. The two-level cavalry were like several entangled long snakes, spinning and biting repeatedly. Most of the Han cavalry were light cavalry. They mounted their bows and shot arrows on their horses. The arrows flew across Yuan Shu's army.
The knights were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
Although the Yuzhou cavalry was not good at riding and shooting, they entered the battle with long poles. Once they got close, they used the poles to stab the opponent's horse. The pole was inserted into the horse's belly, and then there was a snapping sound. The sound of the pole breaking, and then
Miserable howls of fatal stabbings were heard one after another. Within a few seconds of fighting, the Han cavalry were beaten to pieces, leaving only the stern knights still fighting with the enemy.
Also accompanying Sun Ben's army was Liu Xun, Yuan Shu's beloved general. He led hundreds of horsemen to rampage through the Han army, but the Han army was unable to defeat them.
They all fled in all directions. Liu Xun wore black armor and a purple embroidered hat outside his iron pocket.
The long sword in his hand was already stained with blood. His riders were all strong knights, guarding him. On the saddle of the rider, there were hung the heads of several people. These people were all victims.
After Liu Xun was stabbed to death, his head was finally cut off by his horsemen.
The commander-in-chief of the Han army here was Zhang Yang, who was supervising the battle in front of Ji Ling camp. He saw Liu Xun's troops coming and going, and most of his infantry and cavalry were scattered. He was very angry, so he summoned his warriors and said:
: "I was the last to wait for the party army to follow the general. The army already looked down upon us. If the rebel army is allowed to attack the general's formation, what's the point? We must kill this person and defeat the traitor army.
Only with great spirit can our army's reputation spread far and wide!"
So his generals Yang Chou, Wang Qiu and other generals asked for a battle. Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said to Yang Chou: "This battle is only allowed to win, not defeat!" Yang Chou nodded in agreement and immediately called for people to come and mount.
I didn’t bring my pocket,
Wearing two armors to block arrows,
Mentioned the long tree,
He took only one servant with him and rode straight towards Liu Xun. When the Han knights saw him, most of them recognized him and said, "Here comes the iron man!" and they all made way for him.
Yang Chou was originally from Yanmen and had been in the army for generations. When Chen Chong put down the Huns' rebellion, he joined the army. In the past few years, he would kill every enemy he encountered. He had already killed more than a hundred of his men. He was the soul of the Shangdang army. It is said that Quyu
During the battle, he captured ten heads in succession, which were hung all over the yellow horse he was riding, so that both the man and the horse were stained brown with blood, hence the title "Iron Man".
Later, he was awarded the title of Captain of the Party for his meritorious service, and his prestige in the army was second only to Zhang Yang. At this moment, he abandoned the enemy generals he encountered and galloped away. He only wanted to meet Professor Liu Xun, but soon he was intercepted from the side.
Liu Xun.
Liu Xun saw an enemy general of the Han army riding a light horse with a spear and a flying horse, and he was already in front of him in a blink of an eye! He knew that he had encountered a powerful enemy, and it was too late to turn around, so he planted the spear on the ground and stopped his horse. He didn't understand.
When the flying cavalry approached, he spotted the direction in which the enemy general was running, and suddenly shifted his body to avoid the fatal blow.
At this time, the two horses happened to collide with each other. Because they were too close, they could not use the long pole. Liu Xun grabbed the opponent's pole with his left hand, pressed it hard, and broke the pole with a snap. He
He grabbed Yang Chou's left arm with his right hand. Seeing that the opponent had quickly drawn out the short knife from his waist, he reversed the tip of his left hand and stabbed the opponent's neck.
The first blow was not like this, and Yang Chou's dagger also hit his chest. Fortunately, when it broke just now, Yang Chou lost his balance on the horse and failed to exert his full strength. Liu Xun was also covered in iron armor, causing the dagger to strike.
It has not penetrated into the gap between the nails.
This gave Liu Xun a second chance. The tip of the spear in his hand pierced Yang Chou's neck fiercely, and he slashed hard, causing blood to spurt out. Yang Chou did not wear iron armor because he underestimated the enemy.
The leader of the basin was stunned, but he was hit in the vital part, and he was bleeding. He was seriously injured, and he still stabbed randomly with his knife. However, he gradually lost his strength. Liu Xun shot him in the head and grabbed him. Finally, his head was cut off and he died.<
/p>
Yang Chou's knight was also surrounded by Yuzhou knights and was knocked to the ground. Liu Xun held up Yang Chou's head and asked his servant: "Your master didn't come to tell me his name, so he wanted to sneak attack me. Poor but
He was killed by me. He must be a wealthy man, who is his name?"
The man saw Yang Chou's bloody head and cried: "My master is the deputy general of the Shangdang Army, the captain of the Shangdang Army, and the Marquis of Guannei. He has experienced more than twenty battles. Please give me his head.
I can bury his whole body!"
Liu Xun shook his head and said, "Since you are already an official with two thousand stones, this head should be hung on my saddle, and I cannot give it to you." He ordered people to drive away Yang Chou's servants and hang his head instead.
On his own saddle, he asked his slave Wang Qi to drag the body behind the horse to show the public.
Congnu Wang Qi thought to himself: "It's enough to kill the enemy general, but dragging and humiliating the corpse is a bit much. We went deep in alone, even if we won a small victory, it still hasn't shaken the overall situation, and the real army is on the opposite side!
The master should consider a way out." But he did not dare to resist, so he had to obey the order, tie Yang Chou's body upside down to the slave horse, and let the horse drag the headless body and run in the formation.
Yang Chou's subordinates went back crying and reported to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang sighed repeatedly when he learned about it. When the Han soldiers saw it, they were all frightened. Some people said: "Even the red iron man who was killed by a hundred people was beheaded in several rounds! This
A thief general can be regarded as a man who can cut through iron, and is an enemy of ten thousand people. Among our army, I am afraid there are not many who can resist him!"
Sensing the bravery of the Yuzhou cavalry, not only the Shangdang army, but also the Bafu army of Liu Bei's central army were alarmed and retreated one after another. Liu Xun and Sun Ben took advantage of the situation and pursued them, and only captured 500 heads.<
/p>
At the turn of Chensi, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically. It turned out that the east wing of Yuan Shu's army was not in the right position to defend and monitor Yuan Shu's army. Under the repeated attacks of Liu Xun and Sun Ben, the army was completely defeated, leaving the flanks of Liu Bei's main army exposed to Yuan Shu's army.
In front of them, the Bafu army, which had already invaded the Ji Ling military camp, was hesitantly attacked by the enemy troops coming from the southeast, and suddenly fell into a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides.
After Liu Bei learned about the defeat of the Shangdang army and the death of Yang Chou, he thought for a moment and asked his staff: "Now that we are being attacked from both sides, should we reorganize our formation or charge to the end?" Xun You quickly replied: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops here.
Therefore, rushing into the formation is only temporary, and order is everything. Has the general forgotten the strategy of filial piety? Now is not the time!"
Liu Bei nodded in agreement and immediately ordered his headquarters to retreat to the southwest. This would allow the troops that had penetrated into the Ji Ling Army to be withdrawn before Sun Ben and other troops could expand their victory from the side, thus avoiding the fate of destruction.
The west wind was still strong, and the Han army retreated under the cover of bows and arrows along the wind. At this time, Ji Ling's army had drawn out thousands of soldiers and braved arrows to pursue them. In order to delay Ji Ling's pursuit, Liu Bei ordered the sergeant general to put the flag behind the horse.
The drag raised up clouds of dust. The dust blew along the wind towards Ji Ling's army, and the smoke and dust covered the sky. For a time, it was impossible to see far away, and Ji Ling's pursuit slowed down.
Not long after, Sun Bi, Liu Xun and Ji Ling's counterattack armies had joined forces. In fact, they had defeated the eastern flank of the Han army and driven Liu Bei's headquarters several miles to the west. Although the smoke was very heavy
, but Liu Bei’s red and black flying tiger flag can still be seen.
Ji Ling's cavalry quickly contacted Sun Ben and Liu Xun. On the battlefield, the situation was changing rapidly. They decided on their subsequent actions with just a few words on the horse.
Envoy Ji Lingqi asked: "My master asked me to come and discuss with the governor whether to return to the camp to protect the camp, or to take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"
Sun Bian hesitated for a moment and asked, "What are General Ji's plans?"
The cavalry envoy said: "This victory depends entirely on your Majesty, so I will follow your advice!"
Sun Ben looked at Liu Xun. Liu Xun wiped the blood and sweat from his face and said: "It doesn't matter if the governor gives the order, I will rush to kill him immediately, and I will definitely be able to kill him for you!"
Sun Ben was very moved. He thought that although Lei Bo had not moved before, now that he saw that I was victorious, he would definitely lead his cavalry to meet me. Seeing this, all the generals in the camp wanted to take credit, so they would not fail to send troops.
There are also uncle Wu Jing and younger brother Sun Ce in the south, so they can win this battle no matter what. Once I win this battle, I have made an unparalleled contribution and my reputation in the army is high. Whether the soldiers and horses of these two states are surnamed Yuan or Sun
, which is also a bad thing to say!
So he said to the cavalryman: "If you retreat now, you will only win a small victory. You will still have to fight hard tomorrow, and all the geographical advantages will be wasted. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the rebel army's formation is in chaos and drive them back in one go!"
The cavalryman ordered him to go back and report to Ji Ling. Ji Ling happily agreed. The Liang army abandoned the dispersed east wing of the Han army, ignored the still intact Han army formation in the south, and only pursued Liu Bei's Chinese army's main formation in the west.
, trying to completely defeat it.
Sun Ben did not know that Lei Bo had already fled before the battle, nor did he expect that the leaderless generals of the camp, seeing the initial victory they had achieved, were frightened by the Han army's formation directly pressing on the camp from the west and never dared to leave the camp.
Half a step. He didn't even expect that Wu Jing's camp was located on the south side, but it was blocked by Sun Ce and could not send any soldiers across the river.
At this time, if there are more troops from the south and east to attack the enemy, they can at least contain the Han army in the south and coordinate the flanks of Sun Bi and Ji Ling.
It's a pity that Yuan Shu was incompetent, but the generals with strong troops sat on the sidelines and watched. The generals watched the two lone armies go deep, except for praying in their hearts and using their eyes to help, they were completely aloof from the incident! The so-called "one general is incompetent and a thousand troops will be exhausted."
