Chapter 19 Bringing a Long Sword to Xi and Qin Gong (No More Debt)
Gongsun Xun acted as a commander, displayed the banner and guard of honor, and personally forcibly crossed the Hutuo River. Almost instantly, the entire Han army rose up, and almost instantly the entire Yellow Turban Army was shaken.
The Yellow Turbans on the left and right were hesitant, and many commanders even withdrew their troops without authorization, leading them to deploy to rescue the Chinese army. However, the exhausted Han army on the other side of the river generally regained their morale, and they all went to the Yellow Turbans' central army to attack.
assault.
At the same time, on the north bank of the river, Lou Gui and others tried hard to persuade them, so they could only quickly activate the flag signal to convey the message, so that the cavalry downstream could start quickly and join the battle immediately.
"The white horse in western Liaoning is worthy of the world, and the handsome general with good facial features has certainly earned his reputation in vain!"
Seeing the surrounding soldiers swarming towards the Chinese army in the east without his own supervision, Guo Dian sighed, but regardless of his age and age, he stood up again holding the ring-headed sword that was already full of gaps.
He loudly encouraged the whole army to move forward.
The situation in the east was exactly the same. The Yellow Turban Army immediately wavered, and the Han Army counterattacked almost instantly.
However, unlike Guo Dian, Zhang Chun, the highest official here, stared blankly at the white horse flag on the river, but was momentarily distracted... To be fair, Gongsun Xun's move was beyond Zhang Chun's imagination. In the eyes of the Zhongshan prefect
, it would be fine if he was forced into a desperate situation and had to fight tooth and nail, but if the other party had the overall situation in hand but was still so tyrannical, it would be a bit chilling.
"Fu Jun!"
Just when Zhang Chun was staring at the white horse flag in the river, someone suddenly pulled him off the fallen earth barrier. It was Xu Zhan. "Master Fu, this is not the time to be in a daze! Cheng Xiao
The most elite thousand-man troops under Lieutenant Commander have already arrived, we must quickly follow the Yuyang soldiers!"
Zhang Chun came back to his senses, followed the other person's gesture pointing north, and immediately realized... Cheng Pu was Gongsun Xun's personal, and Gao Shun, who led a thousand extremely elite Bingzhou warriors, heard that he was one of the five
Lang will be a confidant who was promoted from a subordinate. If he falls into their army during a chaotic battle, he is afraid that he will be chopped into pulp directly, and then end up with neither alive nor dead.
After thinking this, Zhang Chun did not dare to delay. He directly picked up the sword and stood up. With Xu Zhan beside him, he bravely moved forward with the soldiers of Yuyang County who had launched the assault.
At the center of the Yellow Turban Army, on top of a mountain, General Zhang Bao watched helplessly as Gongsun Xun led his troops to board a boat and cross the river, and then until the other party calmly landed ashore, his hands and feet were still cold and his brain was blank.
"Well, what should we do?" Zhang Bao reluctantly sat back, then forced himself to calm down and asked the people around him.
"We have many troops, my lord, there is no need to panic." Someone quickly comforted him. He was one of Zhang Bao's close followers.
"Master doctor, in my opinion, the Han army commander's actions are not only unnecessary to panic, but also an opportunity to fight!" Someone said with a blushing face and gritted his teeth. This is the commander of Taiping Dao in Hejian Kingdom. "They killed more than 100,000 of my Taiping Dao colleagues.
, since the opponent dares to come at this time, it is time to send out all the central troops and keep him here!"
Zhang Baodeng was stunned for a moment and seemed to realize that this was a natural choice.
However, someone immediately refuted it. This was a deputy commander who was a veteran of border counties: "General, you can't move at this time. Since this white horse general came in person, he must have something to rely on... You forgot before
Shall we guess what happened to the official cavalry? There is no need to guess now, the official cavalry will definitely arrive soon!"
"Then what should we do?" This old soldier has considerable military prestige, so the panic around him is even worse.
"It doesn't have to be anything, it can't be anything!" the old deputy commander said with a stamp of his feet. "A large group of cavalry is approaching. The most important thing is to maintain the formation and not to mess up! Please also ask the local general to send orders quickly to appease the troops on both wings, and then just
Just mobilize a small force from around the headquarters to withstand the enemy in front of us!"
After all, Zhang Bao had practiced a lot. Although he was half afraid and half eager to try, he finally understood that the words of this old pawn were the most reliable when it came to the battle formation.
And just when he was about to grit his teeth and do this, suddenly, a crossbow bolt that was obviously misdirected floated over from the foot of the mountain in front of him, and was inserted diagonally not far from the south side of the mountain platform... It was said that it was.
It's not far away. In fact, it's still dozens of steps away from the Yellow Sky Flag where everyone is.
But in such a situation, the senior officials of the Yellow Turban Army on the mountain were suddenly shocked. Zhang Bao swallowed the words in his mouth, and even the old soldier did not dare to say more... It turned out that among the Yellow Turban Army,
When the military department was in chaos for a while, the Hejian soldiers who had landed before actually took the opportunity to rush up regardless of life and death!
The shield soldiers spread out automatically, bent down under the spears, and then the spears and halberds came forward and upwards like a forest. As for the hundreds of crossbow-wielding men behind them, not only did they continue to launch, some even grabbed the Yellow Turban Army from the position.
The missing waist-opening crossbow... The waist-opening crossbow started with seven stones of strength. It required the full strength of the hands, feet and waist to launch it while lying on the ground. The crossbow arrow just now probably came from here.
"Quickly mobilize the troops!" Seeing that Zhang Bao and the old soldier were both silent, the people around him immediately started to ignore them. "Move the big shields here to protect the lord!"
"Let the Chinese army go out to fight and capture the Han army's commander! If we can succeed, this battle will be a great victory for our army! Huang Tian can still stand!"
"Let the troops on both wings gather in the center!"
The deputy commander, who was a veteran soldier, glanced at Zhang Bao who was sitting there silently, he hesitated to speak, but finally gave up the persuasion.
After all, General Digong's posture is either because he is in a mess and doesn't know what to do, which is useless; or he is worried about the enemy in front of him, so he acquiesces to the arrangements of the people around him... In this case, it is useless to say that.
In fact, even the deputy commander with rich military experience was shocked by the momentum of the Han army in front of him, because during the short period of time when the order was conveyed, the Han army continued to face the densely packed yellow scarf soldiers, and unexpectedly appeared again
Dozens of steps forward!
Moreover, the battle situation was changing rapidly, and orders were constantly being sent behind Tushan. Tens of thousands of Chinese troops who were still ignorant of the situation were confused and were preparing to leave in a daze. In front of Tushan, on the banks of the Hutuo River, the white horse cavalry who had successfully landed on the shore had just established a foothold.
, instead of protecting the mighty general who had remounted his horse and stood under the umbrella, he immediately stepped forward to assist the more than a thousand advance troops ahead, led by a strong warrior!
Looking down from the mountain, I saw hundreds of white horse cavalry divided into dozens of squads. Almost instantly, they poured out from both sides of the pikemen. They took advantage of the mobility and height of the horses to constantly squeeze through the gaps between the Yellow Turban troops on both sides.
The exchange of killings and threats forced the Yellow Turban Army to be unable to form flank pressure on the Han Army's spears and halberds in the middle...
After all, the veterans who had gone on an expedition to Liangzhou had rich military experience, so they understood the thinking of the white horse troops on the opposite side almost instantly - it was not that they did not want to protect their white horse general, but that if they could push the front to
It will actually make the general under the umbrella safer.
At this thought, the veteran deputy commander couldn't help but glance at the Digong General beside him. He saw that the latter's lips were blue and he was sitting still. He was facing three people with more than a thousand soldiers under the umbrella opposite. Wan Dajun took the initiative to compare the two people who moved forward, which is really touching!
At the same time, Zhang Jaw, who was more than a hundred steps away from the mountain, almost immediately understood the meaning of the white-horse followers. However, he had no intention of comparing the coaches of the two sides. On the battlefield, Zhang Junyi would only cherish this Only the troops provide support for the two weakest wings, and then seize the fighter plane and move forward, forward, and forward again!
A spear was thrown from a distance, but it was already powerless when it came to it. He opened his jaw and ducked sideways, but then he let go of the ring-head knife stuck in the enemy's ribs, picked up the spear and charged straight at it. He moved forward, and then stabbed another person to death on the spot...probably because it hit the heart or blood vessel. He pulled out the spear, and the hot blood on the corpse immediately gushed out, and blood spattered five feet away, covering Zhang Junyi's original delicate appearance. Ruya's face was completely confused. However, he just wiped his face, gritted his teeth and continued to urge the halberd array beside him to move forward.
This man was so brave and brave that he was immediately startled and several yellow scarf soldiers in front of him dispersed in panic.
In other words, charging in an array with spears and halberds, and blocking the cavalry on the left and right, this is undoubtedly an excellent local tactic in a narrow small-scale battlefield, and the effect is really outstanding. But when the Yellow Turban Army in front of them at the ferry was pushed all the way to the bottom of the mountain, They encountered severe scoldings from the mountains, and even some supervisory troops shot down with bows from above, forcing the soldiers in front of the formation to turn back to deal with the Han army.
Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army, which was already in retreat, formed a messy but solid human defense line in front of Tushan. The Han Army's forward attack was temporarily blocked.
Gongsun Xun frowned slightly when he saw such a situation on the river bank. Because from his position, the field of vision was wider, so he had already noticed the smoke and dust behind the artificial earth mountain, as if Zhang Bao had made up his mind to hit the target. The army came out to eat themselves.
This is a good thing!
You must know that Gongsun Xun's choice to send troops at this time was not a reckless move, but that he had observed the battle situation for most of the day, and then suddenly had an idea and captured an excellent opportunity that even himself was somewhat proud of.
Because the cavalry is coming soon!
Gongsun Yue's stability, Guan Yu and Shen Pei's outstanding grasp of the battle situation, the luxurious attacking lineup composed of Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Cheng Lian, Qian Zhao, Chu Yan, Yang Kai and others, as well as the strong horses of the West Park Marang, Luoyang The equipment in the arsenal, the knights in Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Hanoi... It can be said that the cavalry force of more than 10,000 people that has not yet appeared on the battlefield is the most powerful mobile force in the entire land of Hebei at this time!
In fact, not only Gongsun Xun, but also all the knowledgeable people in the army would doubt that this cavalry force that was about to arrive would directly change the outcome of the battle!
Therefore, Gongsun Xun personally crossed the river this time, which seemed like a risk, but was actually very confident. If not, Lu Fan, Dong Zhao, Lou Gui, and Xi Zhong would rather hug his thigh than let him pass. Of river.
At this time, since the Yellow Turban Army's central army has been successfully mobilized, when the Han cavalry roars in and can get behind the opponent's central army in time, Zhang Bao's entire army will probably shed their skin this time.
Therefore, the reason why Gongsun Xun still frowned was really not because he was worried about the situation of the battle, but because he felt sorry for the situation in front of him... because the opening of his jaw was so beautiful.
Zhang Junyi is worthy of being one of the five good generals. He actually rushed to the Tushan Mountain in such a formation... If he could have taken dozens of steps further and captured the Tushan Mountain in one go, forcing Zhang Baocang to run away in panic, I am afraid that after the cavalry arrived, You can then massacre without restraint!
At that time, of the 100,000-strong army, whether 20,000 to 30,000 can escape back to the city depends on God's will!
But back to the present situation, the current situation is that the Yellow Turban army behind Tushan is about to surround them, but Wang Meng, Zhang Jaw and their Hejian spears and halberds are already in decline!
Gongsun Xun shook his head... He originally wanted to end the assault, but suddenly, he turned around and saw as far as he could see, the ground was covered with corpses and limbs of the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army, and the river beach was stained with blood, almost It was red, and the wounded on both sides kept wailing and crying!
This was not the first time he had seen this kind of scene, but Gongsun Xun looked back at the river behind him that was constantly soaked in blood, and suddenly he had an inexplicable thought - that is, someone has to do this world thing!
As soon as he thought about it, like a strange coincidence, Gongsun Xun, who was about to give up at first, suddenly reined in his horse and moved forward!
The warriors and guards holding umbrellas, scepters, and flags beside them were panicked and could only follow quickly.
"Shout out to me!" Gongsun Xun drew his sword in his hand and ordered without looking back. "The Master with Five Features will move forward fifty steps!"
The few dozen soldiers around did not dare to neglect, and quickly shouted loudly: "The doctor with five senses will move forward fifty steps!"
Immediately, the scattered crossbowmen who fell behind the spear and halberd formation looked back when they heard the sound. They were shocked when they saw it and moved forward involuntarily. Then they actually shouted after them: "The man with the five senses will move forward fifty steps!"
At this time, the white horse followers on both wings, including Han Dang, were all startled by the sound. The Hejian soldiers in the front also involuntarily became nervous again with the shouts. Both sides once again gritted their teeth and worked hard to move forward despite the casualties.
"The Master with Five Features will move forward a hundred steps!" Gongsun Xun reined in his horse and continued to move forward, but suddenly he changed his words.
The surrounding guards and the Hejian crossbowmen who had already gathered around Gongsun Xun continued to follow him while loudly conveying words... The battlefield was extremely chaotic, but the white horse Yi Cong on the two wings and the spearmen and halberdiers in front After hearing this, the formation regained its strength almost instinctively and fought hard forward in order to continue to advance the front.
Zhang Bao was condescending and saw Gongsun Xun's figure and face gradually becoming clearer from a distance, but he just opened his mouth repeatedly without knowing what to say.
At the foot of Tushan Mountain, both sides were already pushed to the brink of collapse, but almost in an instant, because the Han army general personally stepped forward, the Han army's frontline regained its morale and restarted the offensive. Correspondingly, the Yellow Turbans at the foot of Tushan Mountain Facing the army formation of spears and halberds that had been thrown out of formation by corpses and chaotic fighting, they could no longer hold on and actually broke up and ran away!
The people at the foot of the mountain opened their jaws and were overjoyed to see this, and immediately urged the Han army to climb the mountain.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Bao fought on the mountain and almost ran away.
However, at this moment, the deputy commander who was an old soldier suddenly took half a step forward, firmly pressed Zhang Bao's shoulder with one hand, and waved his other hand repeatedly, urging Zhang Bao's personal guards on the left and right to come forward, condescendingly, holding a bow and shooting down the mountain. people!
Dozens of Hejian spearmen, who were jealous of their military exploits, swarmed forward under the leadership of the fake Sima Wang Meng, but were knocked to the ground by a volley of fire!
It should be known that Zhang Jaw was a local tycoon who joined the army after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It is said that Wang Meng was his benefactor. Seeing this situation, Zhang Junyi ignored him and actually grabbed a large iron shield and hit him on the leg. Wang Meng, who had been hit by an arrow, was dragged down.
However, before he could even take a breath, a burst of crossbow bolts were fired from behind onto the mountain. Then, with his jaw open, he heard another shout from behind: "General Zhonglang with Five Features has already taken two hundred steps forward!"
The voice was behind his head, the handsome thief was in front of him, and the countryman Pao Ze was at his side. He opened his jaw and felt the blood rush to his head. He gritted his teeth, grabbed a ring-headed knife from his side and inserted it into his waist, and then He picked up a broken spear from the ground, held a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, and charged towards the mountain again!
Taking advantage of the cover of the crossbow arrows behind him, he took more than ten steps, but immediately heard the shouts of the disciples in the river behind him. Knowing that the opponent's arrows were coming, he quickly stopped and raised his shield.
Arrows rained down like rain, and the shield jingled constantly. He opened his jaw and immediately felt a slight numbness somewhere in his arm holding the big shield... Zhang Junyi, who had been in the army for several months and fought several battles, knew in his heart that an arrow had pierced the shield. To the arm holding the shield.
However, before opening his jaw and thinking too much, he turned around under the big shield and said loudly towards his robe: "The mountain is twenty feet high. If I can go up another fifty steps, tell me to stop!"
The soldiers at the foot of the mountain were either hiding under their shields, or struggling to shake the barrels of their spears to block the arrows. Some people fell to the ground directly after being hit by arrows, wailing, and I don't know if anyone could hear clearly the words with their jaws open.
Further back, next to the arrow shooting range, Gongsun Xun had no expression on his face, and he was just urging the surrounding Han army's crossbowmen to reload quickly. But a moment later, the Han army's crossbows fired in unison, and he opened his jaw knowing that the opportunity had come, and immediately started again Climb the mountain with a shield!
Under such circumstances, he didn't know how high he had climbed. However, suddenly he heard a chorus of shouts from behind him, so he gritted his teeth and turned around the shield. Ignoring the yellow scarf army in front of him who was raising his bow in a panic, he pointed his short spear at them. Under the banner of Huang Tian, a figure that was clearly visible in the line of sight threw it out with all his strength.
After doing this action, Zhang Junyi didn't even look at his own victory, he bowed and hid behind the shield.
As the Yellow Turban Army fired a burst of messy and loose arrows, dozens of steps away, Zhang Bao, under Huang Tianda's banner, was dumbfounded as he watched the short spear pierce the belly of his senior deputy commander who had been commanding Ruoding just now. , don’t know what to do at all.
"Withdraw troops!" The deputy commander who was a veteran was nailed to the ground, holding the spear shaft on his abdomen with both hands and his expression was twisted. He seemed to be in extreme pain. When he saw Zhang Bao getting up, he just gritted his teeth and uttered a few short sentences. "No. Leave me alone, kill me... Huang Tian... leave quickly, the cavalry is not here yet... General, the whole army... bring the flag..."
His words were intermittent and he could barely convey some meaning. However, before Zhang Bao could react, this former veteran of the Han Army and today the deputy commander of the Yellow Turban Army had completely lost the ability to speak.
Seeing the other party in such pain, Zhang Bao burst into tears and immediately motioned to the left and right. Naturally, someone around him gritted his teeth and cut off the old soldier's head with a knife, so that the other party could be freed.
Zhang Baoyou wanted to take the opponent's head with him, but his courage was exhausted. He thought about the opponent's words and the Han soldiers who were rushing up beneath him again, so he ignored it and had people roll up his Digong General's flag and flee behind him. And go!
I lost all the strength to open my jaw and had no idea what was happening above. However, I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I saw the remaining Han soldiers at the foot of the mountain cheering for a moment, and then the whole army surrounded the general's umbrella and moved forward again.
The Han army swarmed up and captured Tushan. The Huangtian flag, which Zhang Bao had no time to take away, was even pushed back!
As soon as the flag fell, the two wings of the Yellow Turban Army, which was unknown in the distance, collapsed almost instantly, while the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in the open space to the south of Tushan and to the north of Xiaquyang City was completely at a loss!
Things happened so fast, it only took more than a quarter of an hour from the time the Hejian soldiers successfully crossed the river. Although they could see with their own eyes that Zhang Bao was fine, they could also see that Zhang Bao's Digong General's flag was still there... But just now they
He also received an order to cross the mountain and move forward, but at this moment he saw Zhang Bao led the middle and high-level officials of the army to retreat in confusion, and then there was an order for them to enter the city?
For a moment, although the 30,000 elite Yellow Turban Army troops who had not been involved in the battle showed any signs of collapse or casualties, they inevitably caused chaos in scheduling, and the military formations were even temporarily scattered, unable to be neat and effective at all.
to react.
However, at this critical moment, there was a rumble on the ground. Gongsun Xun, who personally dismounted from his horse and helped Zhang Jiao up the mountain, glanced to the east and saw a column of smoke and dust billowing like a dragon and a horse.
Arriving at the edge of the battlefield on the east side.
The Han cavalry has arrived! They arrived as promised!
The appetite of the Han cavalry was greater than expected. When they came to the front of the formation, everyone could see their formation clearly. They saw that the more than 10,000 cavalry were actually divided into three, and 5,000 cavalry were recruited along the way.
Fei acted as the vanguard and acted as the rear army, driving along the river; on the other side, Guan Yu actually led four thousand cavalry to act as the vanguard, with Cheng Lian as the rear guard, driving along the city; Gongsun Yue led the remaining two thousand cavalry from
After lining up, I have nothing to say...
Regardless of Gongsun Yue's position, this formation is actually like two long swords coming out from the left and right, wrapping the entire Yellow Turban Army into the formation... To be fair, given the number of Yellow Turban Army, they are biting off more than they can chew.
But for the situation in front of you, you can fight however you want!
Before Zhang Bao could retreat to the city, he saw smoke billowing down the city wall. How could he not understand that it was the Han cavalry coming around the city? He tried his best to shout, trying to dispatch the main force of the Chinese army, which had not suffered any losses at all, to meet the enemy.
However, they found that the Chinese army was already in chaos due to their own retreat and could not obey orders at all.
With no other choice, he, who was already frightened, could only be escorted by his personal guards and walked westward in order to enter the city from the west. However, in the chaos, his Digong General's flag was also lost on the battlefield.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army completely collapsed. As the Han cavalry came all the way from east to west, the 100,000-strong army was defeated like a mountain!
On the north bank of the river, Feng Xin, the Prime Minister of Changshan, was already dancing and dancing, and his words were ridiculous... Thinking about it, you can understand that he was a scribe who was famous for reciting poems, composing poems, and carving steles and biographies, but how could he have seen such a situation?
Fortunately, he was not the one who made the decision here. After Lou Zibo delivered the flag message and received the reply, he immediately reported it to Lu Fan, and Lu Ziheng also immediately made a decision. All those wearing iron armor in the army took off their armor, and those with long soldiers and large shields
They are all discarded and are only suitable for wearing armor, carrying a crossbow and a ring-headed sword.
When the smoke from the cavalry started to rise, Lu Fan did not hesitate and ordered the boats to line up sideways. While hastily building a pontoon bridge, he also asked all the people in the army who were good at water to help the boats and swim across in front of them!
At this time, how many troops can support the other side?
And just when Lu Fan finished giving the order and stood by the river with his hands folded, looking at the distant mountains on the opposite side, a short fat man suddenly came to his side:
"Brother Ziheng, the heroic spirit in our prince is really irresistible!"
"What do you mean, Gongren?" The other side shouted to kill Zhentian, and Lu Fan took the opportunity to cross his arms and asked as he swam beside him in a hurry.
"Nothing else." Dong Zhao sighed. "I just suddenly understood why King Xiang couldn't recruit talents or use strategies, but he was able to run rampant in the world and overthrow the Qin Dynasty... This kind of heroism, no one would be able to see it.
Are you convinced? Not to mention scholars like you and me?"
"That's not a nice thing to say." Lu Fan sneered. "Is Dong Sima complaining that the prince is frivolous and taking risks without authorization? Or is he complaining that he doesn't listen to you and is trying to steal the limelight?"
"It's not resentment. It's true that I was intimidated by the monarch's momentum and was shocked in my heart. But as brother Zi Heng said, the monarch is so heroic, but he didn't listen to my words after all. I still feel a little pity in my heart."
Dong Zhao said helplessly. "There is no problem in crossing the river. The cavalry will come as soon as they come. It is considered confident, but why must they attack Tushan? In such a situation, Zhang Bao is not dead, and Xiaquyang is also dead in name only... The affairs of the world
, Whoever dares to be the first in the world will bear the weight of the world. Your Majesty clearly promised me before that you would hide your merits and virtues, so why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I can probably guess some of... Wen Qi's thoughts." Lu Fan lowered his head and said solemnly. "Wen Qi is proud of his superiors and pity his subordinates. I am afraid that since the chaos started, he has seen the tragic war situation and the people's livelihood, and has already felt this in his heart.
He couldn't bear it, and the battle was so happy by chance, so he gritted his teeth and did it. Gongren understands people's hearts and understands the situation. I'm curious, do you think... Wenqi can be regarded as the kindness of King Xiang's wife?
, or does it count as the place where Gaozu Guanzhong won the hearts of the people?"
Dong Zhao pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment.
"Let me tell you." At this moment, Lou Gui suddenly came from behind with Xi Zhong. "If there is the success of Gaozu, it is the virtue of winning the hearts of the people. If there is the defeat of King Xiang, it is the virtue of women."
The benevolence... just like my previous five wins and five defeats, if I lost in this battle, it would be a big joke, but now that I have won a great victory, it is a wise saying that will be passed down through the ages!"
Dong Zhao and Lu Fan both turned to look at Lou Zibo.
"Uncle Zi said it well." Xi Zhicai couldn't help but look up at Nan'an and said. "I used to live in Yingchuan, and I often thought that if I could get a master, I would have Gaozu's achievements and generosity, and King Xiang.
His majesty and benevolence will not be in vain! Dong Sima and Zi Heng just said that King Xiang, Gaozu... In my opinion, this comparison is neither fish nor fowl! Is King Xiang a prince who can win people like this? Suppose King Xiang can win people.
, What is the merit of Gaozu? And is Gaozu as majestic as a king? If Gaozu is so good at fighting, how can King Xiang divide the world? Therefore, a king is a king, and the situation in the future will definitely be different from that in ancient times.
As far as you and I are concerned, as long as the ruler treats us with sincerity, kindness, and virtue, then we will do our best and work hard for it! Why are we here thinking about the past and the past, and confusing the present with the past?"
Dong Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he bowed respectfully to Xi Zhong: "What brother Zhicai said is absolutely true. Zhao has been taught."
Xi Zhicai glanced at the other party and couldn't help but smile, but said no more.
Immediately, the four of them put away their thoughts, and Feng Xin, who was dancing in the distance, continued to watch the battle from a distance.
The setting sun was like blood, and the Han army continued to move in and out. Before the battle in Quyang, there were a hundred thousand Yellow Turban troops... Fortunately, Zhang Bao had left 10,000 people in the city to support him, and with the more than 10,000 people who hurriedly fled back, the city barely managed to survive with two people.
The more than 10,000 remaining soldiers stabilized the situation and prevented the Han army from rushing in. But as the sun set, everyone knew that with the Han army having a large number of cavalry, it was impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to continue to gather its forces.
.
In other words, in this battle, the Yellow Turban Army was completely defeated and almost completely wiped out.
As soon as Zhang Baofu, who was hung up with a rope from the west city, fell to the ground, he knelt down on the tall city wall of Xiaquyang, and then looked down at the tragic situation outside the city in confusion.
He saw a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers in the distance being either massacred or driven to the river to drown, and then some people surrendered in large numbers; he also saw people fighting to get in in front of the nearby door, so that the stampede continued and blocked it.
The city gate, and the Han army that later crossed the river angrily swept the battlefield, and while rescuing the wounded Han soldiers, they also carried the wounded Yellow Turban soldiers under the city wall and let them wail endlessly... For a while, the local general felt sad, but he also
There are no tears to shed!
At this point, Zhang Bao still doesn't understand that he was completely defeated by the opponent Black Tiger's heart-wrenching move? How doesn't he understand that the 780,000 or 80,000 Yellow Turban troops outside the city, regardless of whether they are dead or injured, surrender or surrender?
If you escape, all of it will be blamed on your own incompetence?
It's not that the army can't fight, but he is far worse than the white-horse general opposite him?
One general is incompetent and the three armies will be exhausted!
If Huang Tianruo is defeated, he will also have his own share of 'credit'!
However, the situation has collapsed so much, with so many casualties, and the situation so tragic, that Zhang Bao can only be numb. In fact, although there are many people who died around him today, they only had the distortion of the elderly deputy commander before his death.
Faces flashed before his eyes from time to time... This was the person he felt most sorry for. He knew that this person was reliable and that he was capable, but he couldn't use it!
"Lord!" A confidant who was lucky enough to escape with his life held up a water bag filled with some wine and handed it over tremblingly. "Moisten your throat... We still have two... and more than 30,000 troops.
, the city of Xiaquyang is strong and you can rely on it to wait for reinforcements! Wait, wait for General Tiangong..."
Halfway through his words, Zhang Bao suddenly threw the empty wine bag that he had finished drinking in two gulps to the ground, and then his eyes turned red and he burst into tears.
When the people around him were about to kneel down to apologize, he suddenly stood up and walked behind him tremblingly: "My heart is already in a state of confusion. Please take care of the situation at the top of the city for me."
No one dared to say anything, and the close disciple also quickly stood up and stepped forward to support him, and carefully walked towards the high platform where Zhang Bao lived in the city.
Several miles away by the river, there was a place full of defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Fei's eyes widened with anger, and he led his troops with spears in his arms. Unexpectedly, the leader immediately led the crowd to abandon their weapons and kneel down to beg for mercy!
Zhang Fei was not happy and got angry, but he had no choice but to yell, then simply tore off his armor, revealing his white chest with a ring of black hair, and then led a group of cavalry away elsewhere.
Zhang Chun, the prefect of Zhongshan who was not far away, shook his head when he saw this: "Since Zhang Bao escaped into the city, the first success must be that of Hejian False Song. No wonder these arrogant and powerful generals are so impatient... However, after all, it is ten
With an army of ten thousand, how can the cavalry do its full service no matter how powerful it is?"
"It's getting dark!" Xu Zhan suddenly narrowed his eyes and said. "Next, our army can only watch the opponent's city gate, but it will be difficult to do anything. I want to come to Governor Guo, Feng Guoxiang, two captains, and the army.
Those who have gained the upper hand will now go to the mountain."
When Zhang Chun heard the difference in the other party's words, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Xu Jun means..."
"They can go, but we can't." Xu Zhan gritted his teeth and said. "Master Fu, think about it, once it gets dark, there will be many confidants of the generals with good features on the road. We will be exhausted after a hard day's battle. What if we are on the road?"
What would happen if we met a person like that just now, picked up with a spear, and thrown into a pile of corpses..."
"I know." Zhang Chun immediately agreed. "Since the war has ended, it means that the open spear has been dodged, and we must beware of hidden arrows. In fact, with the majesty of fighting Gongsun Xun, I am afraid that there will be no one in the army."
I don’t accept it. So not only on the way there, but also when we met each other at Tushan, and when we were resting at night, he unknowingly attacked me, and I’m afraid no one spoke up for me!”
"What Mr. Fu said is true, so we can't stay in Henan!" Xu Zhan hurriedly added. "At least we can't stay tonight... We won't take the temporary pontoon, just find a ferry, and then quickly find someone at dusk.
There are few places to cross the river to the north, and we will stay in the Hebei Camp tonight... What do you think?"
"Okay!" Zhang Chun thought for a moment and then simply responded. "And you can't take off your armor until you reach Beiying to prevent hidden arrows... You also need to use the Yuyang soldiers who fought together today to protect you along the way. They are from my hometown. Here,
The only troops in the current army who can be trusted are those of our generation."
The two of them had reached an agreement and immediately supported each other. Then they found a Yuyang officer whom they had deliberately attracted in the past few days and asked him to lead a few people to escort them. Then they deliberately turned back to the east and secretly looked for the ferry.
Not to mention that Zhang Chun and Xu Zhan deliberately wanted to avoid Gongsun Xun, who was unparalleled in power today, but on the other side, as the sun gradually set, all the generals in the army gathered at the mountain where Zhang Bao was originally to pay homage to Wu Guanzhong.
General.
The first two thousand stones to arrive turned out to be Guo Dian, the governor of Julu, who had originally forced the crossing on the west side.
Although Guo Junye was also convinced by Gongsun Xun's performance, he still seemed a bit out of place. After a brief exchange of greetings, he asked Gongsun Xun's next move in public.
"What strategy can we have now?" Gongsun Xun shook his head and said. "It's time to besiege the city. It's time to set up forts, build mountains of earth, make tools, and maybe dig holes in the ground to lure the defenders to surrender... In short, clean up all sides.
Surround three and one is missing, wait until the enemy's morale in the city is low, and then attack them with one blow!"
Guo Dian had nothing to say, so he asked again: "After this great defeat, the morale in the city is low and frightened. Our army also has cavalry. Encircling three without one is the right way. But how should the generals in the army be distributed?
Please tell me clearly."
"This is easy." Gongsun Xun quickly dispatched. "Guo Jun was already in the west, so he led 10,000 soldiers to set up a fortification in the west. Then Zong Xiaowei led 10,000 soldiers to set up a fort in the east. I will lead the army myself.
The main force will set up a camp in the north of the city!"
Guo Dian frowned slightly when he heard the words. He wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that most of the people around him were happy and knowing that he was annoying people by staring at him so persistently, and that this victory would be rare after all, he gave up and relaxed instead.
, disarm and rest.
However, some people did not let him rest at all. Just when Governor Guo took off his armor and tried to drink water and dine on the mountain, a boat suddenly appeared on the side of the too simple pontoon on the Hutuo River in the north, carrying Feng Guoxiang and Lu Fan.
, Dong Zhao and the two came here... As soon as Feng Xin and Feng Guoxiangfu came to the shore, they didn't even look at the countless corpses on the ground, let alone the countless soldiers working hard around them, so they came towards the mountain with shouts.
After all, he was only two thousand stone. Guo Dian had previously disliked others for not sending troops, but now he has sent troops, and he has not been delayed. The most important thing is that he has won this battle. It is not easy for him to refute the opponent's face, so he is already here.
Zongyuan, the commander of Wuhuan School, stood up together to respond.
"General with great features, general with white horse!" Feng Xin came to the foot of the mountain and shouted while climbing. "I just watched the battle in Hebei and wrote a poem for you... It can be called the masterpiece of my life. You must... cough cough
...You must listen!”
At this time, Gongsun Xun, who was originally normal, became disgusted... He had heard so many "famous poems through the ages", why would he care about this poem by Feng Xin? Is it a masterpiece?
Moreover, it is four-character poems and five-character poems that are really popular these days, and there are very few five-character poems. This kind of poetry is naturally inconsistent with Gongsun Xun's aesthetic sense that he has been raised to have, so how could he expect it?
However, Guo Dian on the side became interested, and Gongsun Yue, Shen Pei, Zhang Fei, Qian Zhao, Liu Bei, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, and even Zhang Jia, who was wrapped in arms beside him, whether it was true or false, also
Interested.
Only one Guan Yunchang was a little impatient because he failed to catch Zhang Bao and was taken the lead by an unknown soldier who opened his jaw. However, because the poem was praising Gongsun Xun, he did not lose face on the spot.
Gongsun Xun laughed dryly, but he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere after all, so he took Feng Xin's arm and helped Feng Xin all the way to the high platform of Tushan. Then he slightly bowed his hands and said he was looking forward to it.
Feng Xin laughed proudly, and then without refusing, he turned around, twirled his beard and faced the sunset for several steps, and then recited the poem he had written as if singing... Sure enough, it was an elegant five-character poem.
.
The poem says:
"The general sends out a white horse and gives a signal to cross the Yellow River.
The golden drum shakes the mountains of Sichuan, and the waves surge from the sky.
There are vibrating tiles in Wu'an, but there are no cold songs in Yishui.
The iron cavalry is like a snow-capped mountain, and the drinking water is like a dry Hutuo.
Raising troops to hunt for Dongjun, he was transferred to the strategic commune.
Leaning on the sword to climb the earth mountain, the setting sun rises over the mountains.
The great Luze is in depression, and the mountains are often cultivated.
Once Hebei is wiped out, Bao Hu and Jin Ge will be defeated."
As soon as this poem came out, Gongsun Xun had many prejudices, but his basic appreciation ability still told him that it was a good poem, and he also recounted his military exploits since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was very fitting!
Of course, Guo Dian, Lu Fan, Shen Pei, Dong Zhao, Gongsun Yue and others also praised it one after another!
"A monument should be erected here! A monument should be erected here!" Feng Xin, who had raised his head and recited this poem, turned back for a moment, but continued to dance. "This poem is engraved on the front, and the battle is recorded on the back, and the contributions of all of you are narrated.
The beginning and end of the poem...a monument should be erected here!"
This time, no one opposed him. Guo Dian immediately expressed his approval. As soon as the battle was settled, he set up a monument to record his achievements and write poems!
Gongsun Xun also nodded slowly: "There were countless casualties and it was a tragic moment. Not only did we need to erect a monument, but we also took the opportunity to offer sacrifices to summon the souls and comfort them, so as to seek good health in the coming year."
Everyone agreed more and more, and even pushed the matter to Feng Guoxiang, and Feng Xin was so proud that he naturally agreed.
After a lot of excitement, the sun continued to set in the west, as if it was about to sink completely. The truly literate people among the crowd were moved by the scene and couldn't help but recite this poem again and again to comfort them for the hardships of the war and the cruelty of the battlefield.
Even Guan Yunchang actually stroked his beard and recited this poem softly, and then looked at the sunset!
However, it was getting late, and everyone was having a simple banquet on the mountain. While discussing today's hard battle, they were sighing at the power of Feng Xin's poem. Suddenly, Lou Zibo didn't know where he came from, and he looked panicked, and
As soon as he arrived at the brightly lit mountain, he told everyone an unexpected piece of 'bad news'.
"Prefect Zhang accidentally fell into the water when he was crossing the river?" Gongsun Xun was shocked. "Did you ever rescue the person?"
"Report to the Lord." Lou Gui sighed momentarily as everyone on Tushan looked at him in astonishment. "I heard that Governor Zhang was wearing double armor when he boarded the ship. It was also at night and he fell into the water this time... I'm afraid it's hard to find his body!
"
When Gongsun Xun heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed.
———————I am the dividing line between emotions————————
"Since Xun personally went to Hutuo to attack Zhang Bao, he was blocked at the foot of Tushan Mountain for a moment and could not climb. He recruited dozens of people to climb first. They were all heavily armored and holding spears with their jaws open as assistants. The first to climb was to attack him. The thieves' bows and crossbows were fired wildly, and their arrows were fired.
When Ruyu surrendered, Wang Meng of Hejian surrendered, and everyone below him fell down, leaving only his jaw. He dragged Meng back to the formation, and climbed up alone, carrying a spear and a spear. He ignored it and said to the people at the foot of the mountain: "The mountain is twenty feet high, and you can climb fifty steps.
Nai Baizhi.' When they arrived, everyone at the foot of the mountain gathered together and said, 'Fifty steps away!' Jinai withdrew his shield and threw his spear at the flag. The deputy commander had a loyal treasure, and he took it as his own. The spear passed through his chest, and the deputy commander couldn't bear the pain.
Bao was so frightened that he cried and beheaded the deputy commander, then he held him in his arms and walked away. Bao's people were in chaos. Later, Xun personally supported Zhi to climb the mountain and asked: "Why did you climb up alone?" Zhi fell to the ground and bowed: "The general came in person.
When crossing, without avoiding life or death, how dare you not take full credit for the general? 'Xun sighed greatly and rewarded him greatly." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Can
