The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

When the Liangxian garrison passed Liu Bingying successfully, Xun Zhen, who was in the hilly area on the north bank of Rushui River, just received another report from the front cavalry army: the reinforcements of Dong's army at Yique Pass had arrived more than ten miles ahead. But it was exactly as Xun Zhen had expected. At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and although Dong Jun's reinforcements were rushing on their way through the night, they were not fast on the road.

As early as an hour ago, Xun Zhen gave an order, ordering all the resting ministries to get up, no fire to cook, and to eat all the dry food prepared in advance. ready for battle.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the scout cavalry came to report again: Dong cavalry was less than five miles away from the ambush.

The sky is getting brighter, fish maw white appears in the east, and the morning wind blows, with a coolness, which is refreshing.

Xun Zhen sent a military order, ordering all the troops to lie down in the hills and forests, hide the flag, and not make any noise, and before hearing the drums of war on his side, no soldier was allowed to shoot an arrow or a single arrow.

Dong Jun who came to help were all cavalry soldiers, and they arrived in the blink of an eye. After a short while, they saw the dust on the north side of the road, and the soldiers lying on the ground felt that the ground seemed to tremble slightly. This Dong army reinforcements totaled about 2,000 cavalry, 2,000 horses galloped, and the momentum was very strong. Before their troops and flags were expected to arrive, the dust and ground movement appeared first. Fortunately, the main battlefields on both sides of the hills were ambushed. The elites had just defeated He Ji, and their morale was high. In addition, they had only rested for a night, and they were full of energy. Not many people were afraid of this.

Soon, Dong Qi's figure appeared in the north.

At the forefront is a vanguard of more than two hundred cavalry, and a distance behind is the main force.

In other cases, such as in enemy territory, this Dong cavalry will definitely send scouts to enter the hills before entering the hills to investigate carefully, in case there is an ambush by the enemy, but now this is equivalent to Dong Jun's home ground. Dong Jun's reinforcements didn't know He Ji was defeated, so although they routinely dispatched a dozen cavalry from the vanguard into the hills, the dozen cavalry did not check carefully -- in fact, even if they checked carefully , it was difficult to find the ambush soldiers of Xun Zhen, Sun Jian and other troops at the time. Xun Zhen, Sun Jian, etc. did not ambush on both sides of the road, but a little behind. There were no cavalry on both sides of the road, they were all foot soldiers, so they could hide. .

Not long after a dozen scouts entered the hills, the vanguard troops of more than 200 cavalry followed into the hilly area, and then, not long after, the main force that galloped to the hills also entered the hills.

This hilly area is wide from east to west, narrow from north to south, and the length from north to south is not enough to accommodate a marching team of 2,000 cavalry, only more than 1,000 cavalry. Xin Ai, Xie Rong and other troops who were ordered to ambush in the south outside the hills were not allowed to attack first. They would rather let some Dong cavalry pass through the hilly area first, and they had to wait for Dong cavalry to enter the hills afterward.

Xu Zhong and Le Jin, who were in charge of cutting off the back, could be surrounded from the north only when the Dong Cavalry's rear troops entered the hills.

Therefore, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian, who were ambushed on both sides of the hills and in the south, held their breaths as they watched the vanguard of the Dong cavalry safely pass through the hilly area, and then watched the three or four hundred cavalry in front of the main force of the Dong cavalry. He also passed safely. At this time, Dong Qi's rear formation had already entered the road in the hills. Xun Zhen raised his hand and waved it down. The drummers who were lying behind him jumped up, and at the same time, they beat the war drum, and then again. Almost at the same time as the drum beat, a black general flag was raised behind Xun Zhen.

At that time in the early morning, the sky was still bright, and there was no sound from far and near, when dozens of drums suddenly sounded at the same time, which suddenly disturbed the Dong soldiers on the hilly road. Going forward, getting into a mess.

Xun Zhen, Sun Jian, Xie Rong and other soldiers who were ambushed on both sides of the road and in the south rose at the same time.

First, the soldiers on the side of Xun Zhen and Sun Jian shouted and rushed out, and then the soldiers on the side of Xu Zhong and Le Jin also jumped up. Everyone rushed to the north entrance of the hill to cut off the retreat of Dong Qi. Xin Ai and Zhang Fei from the south also rushed out from both sides with their cavalry, and went to intercept the hundreds of Dong cavalry that had already left the hills.

Xie Rong, Ding Meng, and others led the remaining 10,000 new soldiers to guard behind Xin Ai and Zhang Fei.

Chen Guobing led by Xie Rong had many strong crossbows. Some of them were now in the main battlefield on both sides of the road. The crossbow arrows were fired in unison, and Dong Cavalry was in the rush to shoot. Some of them were on Xie Rong's side. They were at the front of the formation composed of new soldiers. The arrows were also fired at the Dong cavalry pawns in front of them. Xin Ai and Zhang Fei rushed out from both sides. They mainly attacked the two wings of the hundreds of Dong cavalry that left the hills first, and there were hundreds more in front of them. Yu Dongqi was not within their attack range, so Chen Guo's crossbowmen led by Xie Rong had to strike first.

——Among the three of Xie Rong, Liu Bing, and Ding Meng, although Xie Rong's trilogy has not been on the battlefield, but because of the large number of powerful crossbows, it is a relatively sophisticated and powerful group. However, because they do not have much war experience, they cannot be used as the main attack, and can only undertake the tasks of auxiliary and containment.

Dong Qi's main troops were surrounded by Xun Zhen, Sun Jian, Xu Zhong, Le Jin, Xin Ai, Zhang Fei, etc. Xie Rong and Ding Meng's positions were on the outside, which was relatively easy. The two of them stood in the formation. , When this fierce battle is unfolding, there is still time to watch other battlefields.

This ambush of Dong's reinforcements is different from the previous two battles with Dong's soldiers.

The first battle to annihilate the more than a thousand Dong Qi in Yingchuan County was at Xun Zhen's home ground and the location near the river, so he was able to lure Dong Qi to the river and make it immersed in mud, thus winning.

The defeat of He Ji the night before was also a trick, first destroying the fighting spirit of He Ji's department, and then besieging and winning.

In this battle this morning, although we are waiting for work, after all, the sky is bright and the vision is wide. Although there are hills on both sides of the road, it is not conducive to cavalry running, but there are exits on both sides, and even in the middle of the road where the hills confront each other, the cavalry After getting off the mount, you can also launch a counterattack, and because of the mount's cover, there is an extra layer of protection, so this battle is more difficult.

Dong Qi lived up to the reputation of the elite. After driving for hundreds of miles, after being surrounded, apart from being a little panic, he quickly stabilized his position under the organization of officers at all levels, and was led by the fierce officer. Bubu charged to both sides, trying to counterattack.

Xie Rong and Ding Meng watched from a distance and saw that among the thousands of soldiers of Xun and Sun rushing down from the hill, one was the most brave. As can be expected, this person is obviously Liu Deng.

Liu Deng was the first to rush down, with dozens of warriors in the song, and he was at the forefront of thousands of Xun and Sun Buzhong. It was like a sharp arrow, and it crashed into Dong's army on the road first. In the middle, if you are near, you will slash with a sword, if you are far away, you will throw a halberd. invincible.

Xie Rong and Ding Meng knew his bravery from the beginning, but now they saw it with their own eyes, but they couldn't help but admire him. Suddenly, they saw Dong Bing dozens of cavalry soldiers abandoning their horses. Deng was in the middle.

Liu Deng originally had dozens of soldiers, but after the attack just now, some were injured or killed, and some couldn't keep up with Liu Deng's footsteps and were left behind by him. At this moment, Liu Deng was Alone.

The dozens of Dong Bing obviously wanted to take advantage of the opportunity he was alone to kill him.

Xun Zhen, who was commanding the battle from a high place on the hill, also saw this scene. Xie Rongyao saw the military flag behind Xun Zhen waving in succession, and heard the war drum behind him change the voice. Others nearby rushed to rescue Liu Deng.

But the road in the hills is not wide, and at this time, many of the soldiers of Xun and Sun in ambush have already rushed into Dong's army. For the time being, no one could rush to Liu Deng's side.

Xie Rong and Ding Meng looked at Liu Deng again, and saw that he was surrounded by dozens of Dong Qi, and he couldn't see his figure, and they were all pale.

The two of them agreed, and both thought: "Although Liu Deng is brave, he is now surrounded by dozens of Dong's soldiers, but it is difficult to save him!"

It would be fine if they were just ordinary Dong Jun soldiers, but the dozens of Dong soldiers who besieged Liu Deng were all elite soldiers, all wearing fine armor. Liu Deng fell into the siege and no one came to rescue him, which was indeed dangerous.

Xie Rong and Ding Meng stared intently at Liu Deng, not even paying attention to the Dong Qi in front of their own formation.

The two saw that under Xun Zhen's repeated urging, two of the other warriors in the song who had been left behind by Liu Deng fought hard to retreat from the front blocking, and killed the dozens of Dong Qizhi who surrounded Liu Deng. In addition, the two groups of warriors had seven or eight people in one group, and four or five in the other group. Together, there were more than ten people. However, they could not break through the dozens of Dongqi with a few blows, and they were damaged one after another. Four or five casualties.

Xie Rong and Ding Meng raised their hearts to their mouths and held their breath, but after a while, they suddenly saw the ten or so soldiers of Dong Bing around Liu Deng making a noise, turning around and running away, revealing the scene: The ground was full of dead bodies, and the sturdy young general was also lying on the ground. Liu Deng stood in the pile of corpses, and he was majestic and powerful, but he killed twenty or thirty enemy armies with one person.

The more than a dozen Dong soldiers who were unable to break through in his song were surrounded by them, but he was killed and scattered by himself.

Xie Rong and Ding Meng breathed a sigh of relief, only then did they feel sweating in their hands, and seeing Liu Deng covered in blood, chaotic and chasing after the fleeing enemy, they looked at each other in horror, and said, "This is not a human, a real bear. Tiger too."

Liu Deng broke through the enemy's siege, and brought back the warriors in the song, running around to kill, and he was invincible.

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian had divided their work before the war. When the battle started, Xun Zhen was in charge of the left and Sun Jian was in charge of the right.

Dong Cavalry on the right also organized an elite counterattack. The young generals he led were quite brave and counterattacked Sun's soldiers, killing several young generals of Sun's army in a row, and Sun's army's offensive was stagnant.

Sun Jian Yao pointed to the enemy general and asked around, "Who killed him for me?"

Han Dang, holding a strong bow, jumped out, and before he could reach the enemy general, he opened his bow and shot, and the enemy general fell in response.

- Killing an enemy with one arrow is not easy. The enemy generals were wearing heavy armor and helmets on their heads, and they were not shooting in the right place.

Sun Jian was overjoyed, and when he was returned, he brushed his back and said, "Your Excellency really relieved my troubles."

Guan Yu, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Jiang Hu, and other generals in Xunzhen's army, Zu Mao, Huang Gai, Wu Jing, and Sun Ben, who were under Sun Jian's tent, led their troops to stir up and down the Dong Cavalry team. , successively repelled the counterattacks of four or five waves of Dongqi, and after a fierce battle for an hour, they gradually forced Dongqi together, making it cramped on a narrow piece of ground, unable to move any longer, and it was difficult to carry out a counterattack.

On the south side of the ambush circle at this time, with the cooperation of Chen Guo's crossbowmen, Xin Ai and Zhang Fei had killed most of the hundreds of Dong cavalry they had come out of.

In the south, there were cavalry from Xin Ai and Zhang Fei, as well as more than 10,000 soldiers led by Xie Rong and Ding Meng. The momentum was so great that Dong cavalry on the middle road of the hills did not dare to charge here, so they increased their strength again and headed for the north exit. breakout.

The pressure on Xun Jun, who was at the north exit, suddenly increased.

Xu Zhong was in command in the formation, Le Jin was on the right side of the formation, and Wen Ping was also in this army, leading a different army to guard the left side of the formation.

Dong Qi first rushed to the right of the formation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was repelled by Le Jin, then rushed into the formation, and then was repulsed by Xu Zhong again. He could not pass the right or the center, so he concentrated his forces and attacked the left of the formation. The clerical job here.

During the fierce battle, Wenpin's subordinates suffered a lot of casualties. Under the combined force of Dongqi's onslaught, it was a little difficult to support him. He wanted to retreat a little from the left and right. The attack is strong, so I want to retreat a little, but I don't know that morale can be boosted, but it can't be vented? Once you retreat a little, your position will be in chaos, and your position will be in chaos. The military plan is a big thing. Moreover, if the monarchs and lords are bad because of us, even if they die, they will be scolded by the three armies. Instead of dying in shame, why not die in battle? In a hurry, I will definitely come to rescue me, or there may be a way to live. If you say anything else, you will be killed!"

He stood firmly under the flag of the army, letting the opposing Dong Jun attack like a wave, not retreating half a step.

Xu Zhong's position was next to Wenpin. Seeing that he was in a hurry, as Wenpin said, he immediately ordered 200 elites to rush to support. With the assistance of these elite soldiers, the pressure on Wenpin's formation was one of the immediate problems. Light, the opposite Dong Jun attacked again, and there was nothing he could do.

Nearly noon, the Dong cavalry outside the south entrance of the hills were all annihilated, and the Dong troops on the middle road of the hills were either killed or surrendered. , and soon wiped out the remaining Dong Qi.
