Time has passed for a long time, and at dusk, the sun shines dullly on the earth, and the boundaries between heaven and earth are no longer clear. The ancestral water seems to flow between two yellow and black intersections, and the surrounding dust and mist are billowing like a giant.
The waves rise and fall. Occasionally, you can hear a rushing sound coming from a distance. Some people say that it is the sound of the rising tide in the upper reaches; others say that it is the sound of wind mixed with dust passing through the woods along the earth.
The Western soldiers were scattered and resting on the bloody battlefield. Most of them were too tired to speak. They just held their halberds silently and looked uneasily at their comrades who were wading across the river. In fact, they all knew it.
, I have not completely left the dangerous battlefield, but I no longer have the energy to think about how to fight again. Most people have only one idea. If there is a place without the smell of blood, they can lie down and rest immediately. p>
Some soldiers were seriously injured. They were lucky enough to escape from the pursuit of the Easterners, but they were still very close to death. Take Deng Zhi's troops as an example, almost all of the surviving soldiers took care of them.
Injuries, some only hurt the flesh, but some had their joints or metacarpal fingers cut off directly, and then they lay on the ground with a high fever due to excessive blood loss. Some people who had serious injuries were even more difficult to deal with. For example, Chen Chong
One of his students, Liu Qian, had his shoulder armor cracked, his collar and shoulder blades torn apart, and you could see the horrific wounds from his neck to his shoulder blades, which were full of flesh and blood and were still bleeding. Everyone was helpless, Liu Bei
He sighed and said, "If Zhongjing were here, there might be a way to cure him, but I left him in Jinyang!"
It happened that he was overheard by the shooting aid accompanying the army. He also knew some medical skills, so he ran over to help. He untied Liu Gan's collar, sucked the blood from the wound with his mouth, and spit out the blood on the sand, forming a river of blood.
The soil is mixed together and rolled to make mud.
After sucking, Sheyuan's mouth was full of scarlet stench. He pointed at the sleeping Liu Gan and said to everyone: "If you want to survive, you must suck the sore to cut off the blood, and you must prepare water, otherwise you will be very thirsty when you wake up..."
"After speaking to the rescue team, he looked around at the injured people everywhere, and the sound of wailing could not be heard. The soldiers next to him were sitting or standing, their lips were chapped, and most of their faces were stained with dried blood. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. The wounded people woke up.
I am very thirsty and need to drink a lot of water, otherwise I will not save my life, so I won’t say any more.
When the people around heard that the shooting aid said that the wounded were thirsty, they felt that their mouths and tongues were parched and there was almost no saliva in their mouths. After the retreat at noon, most people did not drink water. Even though the ancestral water was right in front of them, the water was covered with blood.
The red-soaked appearance was really unpalatable. In addition to thirst, they also suffered from bloated heads and headaches. The veins on their foreheads throbbed with pain, directly connected to their eyes and penetrated deep into their brains. Some people sat down in the bloody mud.
, leaning on the knife to rest. But when I closed my eyes, I felt my headache getting worse and more unbearable. I could only open my eyes and focus on the battlefield filled with corpses.
At this moment, the sound of rushing gradually became quieter, and many people suddenly fell to the ground during the precarious process. After staring at each other blankly for a moment, as the ground shook intensified, they finally reacted in horror and waded backwards.
The army shouted: "Cross the river! Cross the river quickly! The east bandits are here again!"
Slowly, behind the sound of wind blowing dust, there seemed to be some other sounds. The sky in the north and east was yellow-brown, and between the sky and the earth covered by the yellow dust, there seemed to be a large number of people and horses moving restlessly.
It was running! Soon, a sound like flood overflowing the dam gradually came from behind the east slope. In less than a while, the sound became louder and clearer. But it was not a human voice, nor was it a human voice.
The sound of galloping war horses is the sound of a very dense collision of weapons and armor, like the roar of magic weapons. It can be imagined that there should be a lot of armored soldiers walking together to make such a sound!
At this time, even if you can't see it clearly, in the skyline opposite, it is obvious that many people have appeared. At first, there were knights who came up with one or two horses each. They had already put on their armor and had lost their bows and swords.
Most of them were placed on the horses. They took advantage of the dust to disperse, quickly mounted their horses, and then began to rush towards the northwest corner.
The first group of Dongmen who charged into the formation probably only had a few hundred riders, but their charge, launched with determination to win, raised yellow dust into the sky, like a huge billowing wave, sweeping in from a distance, frightening the onlookers.
In a moment, they quickly rushed into the huge and loose camp of the Westerners.
The Eastern knights continued to arrive from behind, and soon thousands of knights gathered around them. As the second group, they also rushed over quickly. At this moment, the bright red flag also appeared on the slope, from north to south,
It spreads like a forest, looming in the dust and mist.
After the third group rushed in, the original first group of knights circled around from both sides, returned to the Eastern formation, and then dismounted to rest their horses. Each group of Eastern cavalry weaved in and out of the Western formation in columns like snakes, relying on
The Yellow Sky Teng Snake flag in the east guided them, quickly turning back and charging alternately.
As soon as the Eastern cavalry entered the formation, they were divided into several teams, some in columns, and some in horizontal rows. The Eastern columns used long swords to drive and stab the infantry on both sides, or used ring-headed knives to crack each other.
The knights on the side picked up their long swords and bent their bows to shoot at the enemies in the distance. The Easterners lined up in horizontal rows went straight forward to attack the walking Western infantry. They did not give way, and galloped towards the Westerners with more force.
.
In the melee, the Easterners also encountered some Western cavalry blocking them. They held each other's spears and stabbed each other, and the horses became entangled and slowed down. However, several groups of Eastern cavalry who had slowed down would look after each other and attack the Westerners' infantry.
Cavalry square formation. If the enemy is defeated, they will gallop and ravage, killing a large number of Westerners. If the enemy resists strongly, they will give up riding and leave. This will not only prevent the Westerners from gathering to form a square formation, but also avoid stopping and being besieged by the Westerners on foot and cavalry.
Among.
After charging like this for several rounds, the Eastern cavalry in the vanguard estimated to number ten thousand, galloping across the wilderness like the wind, with few slowing down and being surrounded. The loud sound of the horses' hooves shook the mountains and raised the air.
The dust was overwhelming and the sound of weapons clashing made even veterans who had been in battle for a long time feel as if two sharp iron tools were rubbing against the apex of their hearts, which made people feel heartbroken.
Although the Westerners were large in number, they basically did not have organized cavalry to fight. Instead, they were a mixture of infantry and cavalry, fighting individually. Although the Westerners held bows and halberds, most of them did not form formations to defend themselves. In the East, the columns of horseback horses were as fast as falcons.
Under the attack of the raiding formation, facing the attack of groups of heavy cavalry, Beijiao was quickly rushed to pieces. However, the Western Army was already unable to find the captain, and the captain could not find Du Bo.
Logically speaking, the commanders and corps members were fighting independently. Logically speaking, they should have completely collapsed under the attack of the Easterners. However, after running away for two or three hours in the afternoon, the Westerners had also formed a temporary organization.
They realize more clearly that they are now at a critical moment of life and death. At this time, without guidance from their superiors, they can still reluctantly launch a counterattack.
Longxiang Colonel Zhao Yun was also one of them. As Gongsun Zan's direct line captain, he had completely broken up the organization in the afternoon chase. At this time, Gongsun Zan was in the middle army, but he was in the left army. Except for some of his subordinates,
Baima Yi also temporarily gathered a group of Hongnong soldiers and Hedong knights from outside, about three thousand people.
Seeing the Eastern cavalry rushing towards him, he calmly drank the last water in the water bag, threw it to the ground, and said to most of the soldiers he had just met: "Today, all the soldiers have just met."
You are in my hands because of destiny. Since it is destiny, we should live together and die together. I will not retreat, and I hope that you will not let me down."
After that, he threw the long silk in his hand to his subordinate Chen Baiqi, and asked him to follow behind him. He also asked another subordinate to raise the white deer flag with a red background. He raised his bow and shouted, and immediately
They urged their horses to join the formation and fight, clashing from east to west, shooting from left to right, and fighting against the Eastern cavalry along the way.
This move greatly attracted the attention of the Dong people. In less than two seconds, about a thousand cavalry came to outflank where he was. Seeing the large number of enemy cavalry, Zhao Yun led his followers back to the formation. They looked like they were retreating. Those thousand cavalry
Taking advantage of the situation, he pursued them. When they entered the formation, Zhao Yun suddenly turned his horse's head and fought against the pursuing Dongren cavalry.
This return horse shot caught Dongren off guard, and he was picked off by Zhao Yun one after another. Immediately afterwards, he saw a knight with extremely fancy armor in the chasing cavalry formation. He was wearing dark red iron armor, with a gold nail belt around his waist, and feet.
The deerskin boots on his back are inlaid with green jade, and the servants on his left and right are also in white military uniforms and carrying long bows, which is obviously unusual.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun simply rode towards the man on his own. Unexpectedly, the Easterners did not expect that there were people from the Westerners who dared to ride into the formation alone. They were almost unprepared. When Zhao Yun entered the Eastern formation, he came unexpectedly like a gust of wind. A group of Easterners came unexpectedly.
He shot arrows at him, but failed to hit. Instead, he accidentally injured some of his comrades, so he had to put away his arrows and fight with him. However, Zhao Yun turned a blind eye, and he also drew the string of his bow and shot at the red-armored knight. p>
With a "pop" sound, the knight pressed his collarbone and screamed in pain. The surrounding knights also tried to surround him and stab him to death. But Zhao Yun had already leaned over and galloped past, and put his arm around the knight's waist. With the interlacing of war horses,
With great momentum, he pulled him out of the stirrup with great force. When he was off the pedals and flying into the air, Zhao Yun suddenly reined in the horse with his right hand and stopped suddenly. Using this inertia, he pressed the enemy rider on his own horse, and then pulled out
With his sword, he quickly aimed at the left side of the knight's neck and penetrated it, spinning back and forth half a circle. When the man lost resistance, Zhao Yunxin cut off the head with his hands, hung it on the saddle, then reined in and left.<
/p>
The Eastern knights were all dumbfounded when they saw him strolling around like this, and actually let him leave.
It was in such a dangerous situation that Zhao Yun used the Shengsheng Formation to kill Wei and Han general Cao Hong. Once Cao Hong died, the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's offensive rhythm was slightly stagnant due to his fighting.
