Chapter 93 Heavy Interception(1/2)
Chapter 93: Intercepting and killing
"Pei Yuanshao."
"exist."
"Lead five hundred cavalry out of the west gate and feinted to attack Zhu Jun's camp."
"Affect the order."
"Guan Hai."
"exist."
"Lead five hundred cavalry out of the north gate and feinted to attack Huangfu Song's camp."
"Affect the order."
"Liao Hua, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhou Cang."
"exist."
Ma Yue said coldly: "Follow me to break through the gap."
Liao Hua's expression changed: "Big leader, the infantry is not as slow as the cavalry. If you are surrounded by the Han army, it may be difficult to break through the encirclement. You should act with the cavalry."
"I have decided, don't say too much." Ma Yuesen said, "The whole army will put on their horses, wrap their hooves, do not light the torches, and do not make loud noises. Those who violate the orders~~ behead them!"
Liao Hua was silent, but a trace of determination flashed through his eyes, and he felt a little nervous in his heart. Even if he fought all the brothers Yingchuan, he must protect the leader and kill the siege! For nothing else, he would kill the siege to pick up Yingchuan soldiers at all costs. This is the only way to kill himself to repay him.
...
Changshe is located in the north of Yingchuan County. The city is more than 20 miles in circumference, with four gates in the east, south, west and north. The gap that was smashed by the Han army's catapult was exactly at the corner of the city wall between the north gate and the west gate. The opposite of it happened to be the gap between Huangfu Song's camp and Zhu Jun's camp.
Zhu Jun had 7,000 elite soldiers on the right wing, surrounded the west gate, Huangfu Song had 10,000 elite soldiers on the central army, surrounded the north gate, Cao Cao had 6,000 elite soldiers on the left wing, surrounded the east gate, but there was no one soldier in the south gate, but the pit had been dug and was scattered everywhere. Yuan Shu's general Zhang Xun led 3,000 elite soldiers, and general Ji Ling led 2,000 elite soldiers, secretly hiding in a dangerous place south of Changshe. Just when the bandits abandoned the city and fled, all the ambushed soldiers went out to intercept and fight.
The Han army intended to seize the city and drove the bandits out of the city before annihilation, so the siege was not tight.
After a melee during the day, Ma Yue led 800 bandits to defeat Huangfu Song's central army. The Han army suffered heavy casualties, and most of the three thousand elite soldiers in the front army were lost, especially the 1,500 elite archers, who were almost completely killed by the bandits. The left, middle and right armies involved in the interception, as well as Zhu Jun and Cao Cao's left and right armies also suffered casualties. Especially the bandits' guns, which caused a large number of casualties to the Han army.
Huangfu Song was now holding a gun in his hand, a gloomy flashed through his eyes, and said to Zhu Jun who was standing beside him: "Have Gong Wei seen this thing before?"
"No."
Zhu Jun shook his head. (In China, it was not until the Song Dynasty that he started using guns)
Huangfu Song said in a narrow voice: "When I was young, I heard from my father (Huangfu Song's father Huangfu Gui, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty) that there were barbarians in the north who were good at using Hu guns, and several armors could be penetrated within dozens of steps! It was quite similar to the spears used by bandits today!"
Zhu Jun said in a narrow voice: "In addition to throwing a gun, there is also the heavily armored iron cavalry, which is unheard of and unseen."
Huangfu Song said: "I ordered the military officer to collect several sets of heavy armor and study hard. If my great man could have such a heavy armored iron cavalry, he could sweep across the eight deserts with only a few thousand cavalry. How dare the barbarians in the north disturb my border town again?"
"Woooooooooooooo~~"
Huangfu Song finished speaking, and a low horn sound suddenly sounded outside the tent.
Zhu Jun's face changed and he said coldly: "Enemy attack!"
Huangfu Song frowned and said, "Eight hundred bandits really want to break through at night?"
During the time of Cao Cao's camp, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu once reminded Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, but did not think that the eight hundred bandits would break through at night. Of course, more importantly, they were not afraid of the eight hundred bandits breaking through! Because Yingchuan had become a dead end, whether it was a desperate defense or a breakthrough, the eight hundred bandits could not escape the final defeat.
Since the eight hundred bandits can eventually be eliminated, why should we take the risk of night battle? The eight hundred bandits have a deep impression on Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and this is still during the day. If it is a night battle, the two believe that the casualties of the Han army will be even more severe! The two armies fight at night, and the advantages of the Han army's strength will be weakened, but the advantages of the bandit cavalry sprint will be fully demonstrated! Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the two will never be willing to fight with the eight hundred bandits.
At this time, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song did not know that Hulao Pass had been conquered by 800 bandits, and several iron walls that the Han army had worked hard to manage had been cut by Ma Yue. If they knew that Hulao Pass had been conquered, they would have led their troops out of the camp at all costs.
Huangfu Song finished speaking. The sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the tent. A small school hurried into the tent and said to Huangfu Song: "General. The bandits attacked the camp!"
Huangfu Song said in a deep voice: "How many people are there?"
Xiaoshao said: "It is not true to see in the darkness. Judging from the sound of horse hooves, there are about 500 riders."
"More than 500 cavalry!" Huangfu Song's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "I ordered all battalions to defend themselves and not to fight without authorization! Wait until dawn to explore the enemy's situation before pursuing!"
"Affect the order."
The school took the order and left.
...
In the darkness, two thousand Yingchuan bandits, led by Ma Yuedi, took advantage of the night to quietly leave the city from the gap, and passed through the gap between Zhu Jun's camp and Huangfu Song's camp and headed straight to the north. Pei Yuanshao and Guan Hai two light cavalry ran back and forth around the Han army camp, and the sound of killing shocked the sky, covering up the sound of Yingchuan's thieves marching.
Everything went smoothly. Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song did not actually go out to intercept the Han army. Half an hour later, the Yingchuan bandits who were running wildly had already run north for more than ten miles, leaving Changshe City far behind. Ma Yue then condemned Zhou Cang and led dozens of cavalry to contact Pei Yuanshao and Guan Hai, and led their troops to meet as soon as possible.
Liao Hua breathed a long sigh of relief, slapped his horse and walked to Ma Yue, laughing and said, "As expected, the Han army did not go out to intercept it. Haha, I really didn't expect it to escape so easily."
Ma Yue's eyes turned cold and thought to himself that Zhu Jun, no matter how powerful Huangfu Song was, he would never have imagined that the eight hundred bandits had already captured Hulao Pass!
Liao Hua laughed and said, "When these idiots are still searching for our army's whereabouts on the Yingchuan Plain, our army is afraid that our army has already captured Luoyang City, haha."
Ma Yue's expression was cold, and his eyes were coldly swept across the dark wilderness, as if he wanted to find something from the endless darkness, but in fact, he couldn't see anything clearly. He could break through the siege so smoothly. Ma Yue was deeply surprised, which made him feel a little uneasy.
It seems that Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Cao Cao and others are not so easy to deal with, right? Even if they don’t know that the 800 bandits have conquered Hulao Pass, there is no reason to indulge the Yingchuan bandits so easily!
When Ma Yuezheng was in a state of uneasy, there were suddenly a sound of killing in front of him. As the sound of killing was deafening, countless torches suddenly lit up, and the sky was red in an instant. A Han army rushed out of the dense forest on the left, and there were countless people blocking the way around the mountains and fields.
The general in the leader immediately rushed to the front and shouted: "Don't leave the bandits, Xiahou Dun has been waiting here for a long time!"
Xiahou Dun? Chief General under Cao Cao!
Sure enough! Ma Yue's eyes sterned and murderous intent was everywhere. Before the Han army appeared, Ma Yue felt uneasy in his heart, but now the Han army really appeared. Instead, he felt relieved. The most worrying thing is always the enemy lurking in the dark and elusive. Once the enemy turns from the dark to the light, it is no longer worth fearing, right?
"kill!"
Ma Yue waved the steel knife in his hand forward and a cold word collapsed from the gap between his teeth.
Without any hesitation, no one retreated. More than two thousand Yingchuan thieves behind Ma Yue had already rushed up silently under their own leadership. At this point, there was nothing to say. It was only God who blocked the gods and Buddhas who blocked the Buddhas!
"Kill~"
"Kill~"
"Kill~"
The deafening shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the left, right, and behind. The horse Yue held the war horses and looked back in shock. He saw the surrounding torches, illuminating the entire sky as bright as day. Under the raging fire, countless Han troops emerged from the darkness like ghosts, surrounding the two thousand Yingchuan thieves from the land.
"Don't leave the bandits, Cao Hong has been waiting here for a long time!"
"Don't leave the bandits, Cao Ren has been waiting here for a long time!"
"Don't leave the bandits, Xiahou Yuan has been practicing here for a long time!"
Three thunderous shouts came from the Han army formation, and each of them had a majestic generals from the formation. It was Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Yuan, the generals under Cao Cao.
Xu Chu pulled his horse and turned around and said to Ma Yue: "The big leader is not good. He is ambushing!"
"Big leader, what should I do now?"
Liao Hua's tone was quick and he was already a little panicked.
Ma Yue's eyes sterned and said in a deep voice: "Dian Wei listened to the order."
Dian Wei flashed out and said sternly: "Here."
"Lead five hundred sergeants as vanguards and swear to defeat the enemy's army to the death."
"Abide by the order!"
"Xu Chu obeys the order."
"exist."
"Lead five hundred troops to cut off the rear, and fight to the death without retreating."
"Abide by the order!"
Ma Yue turned around, waved the steel knife in his hand forward, shouted loudly, "Brothers, kill me, even if I die, I will die on the way to charge~~"
...
Not far away, Cao Cao was surrounded by Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Li Dian, Yu Jin and others to watch the battle.
Seeing the four ambush troops coming out and surrounding the bandits, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and praised Chen Gong and said, "As expected, the bandits came to the main road and things were accomplished~~"
Seeing Cao Cao praise, Chen Gong had no joy on his face, but instead said worriedly: "Lord, although the bandit formations are dispersed, they are not as chaotic as after fighting. It is expected that the two generals Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song have not led their troops to intercept them."
Cao Cao said, "This is what is expected."
Cheng Yu was also worried and said, "In this way, the bandits' light cavalry arrived suddenly. If they cannot defeat the bandits' army in time, they may be defeated. If they get the help of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, the bandits will be defeated."
A sharp look flashed through Cao Cao's little eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's up to people!"
Cao Cao is worthy of being a hero, just like Ma Yue, a typical gambler mentality.
...
The hills are surrounded by fierceness.
"Get out~"
Dian Wei shouted loudly and ignored the steel gun that was stabbing like a poisonous snake. The two iron halberds in his hand brought an extremely fierce and fierce power, and swept across Xiahou Dun's bear waist with a fierce breath. His eyebrows were filled with a violent aura of killing. Even if Xiahou Dun's chest was pierced by a gun, he would still cut it into two pieces.
"Um!?"
Xiahou Dun's eyes narrowed. The steel gun in his hand sank with the momentum, barely holding the iron halberd that Dian Weiji swept over. He didn't want to die with this evil man!
