Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 603 Longitudinal Riding

Lishui, Ye County.

"Royal ~ Royal ~"

More than ten Han riders walked down the slope to the hill, reined in their reins, and looked at the Wei army camp at the foot of the hill.

"General, where is this?" Hu Bu Centurion asked, holding his whip.

With a cold face, Yuan Hong replied displeasedly: "Why do you care so much? Just follow the orders of our school captain."

The centurion closed his mouth, not daring to say more.Since Yuan Hong led his army deep into the enemy's territory, the soldiers under his command didn't think much about it, and they all expected Yuan Hong to bring them back to the country.

"Report, General!" The scout came galloping from a distance and reported: "There is a Wei army camp at the foot of the mountain. It is built by the river. There are many civilians in the camp, and grain carts are constantly coming and going. It should be the place where the Wei people store grain."

"How is it arranged?" Yuan Hong asked with narrowed eyes.

"Wei's camp is behind the army, so it's unprepared, and it seems that the camp has just arrived here, and the layout of the barracks is simple."

Hearing this, Yuan Hong was overjoyed. He suddenly drew out the Han blade, and said to the Han Hu grassroots officers behind him, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a short time. Order the whole army to follow me to send out surprise troops to attack this camp and burn down the military supplies against Wei."

"General, it's bright today, and the soldiers just came here for the first time, and they just rested. How about waiting until sunset, when the men and horses are strong, and then attack them?" Guo Xiao, the head of the village, stepped forward and asked.

Yuan Hong tugged on the reins to calm the restlessness of the horses under his crotch, and said in a deep voice: "The most important thing in using troops is speed. Now our army is deep in the enemy's rear, and the Wei people are unprepared. If we don't take the opportunity to attack now, when will we wait? "

After finishing speaking, Yuan Hong pounded the long lance hard on the ground, the heavy iron forging at the end of the lance made a "dong dong" sound, and the soil sunken in.

"All the soldiers go out with me. Remember, the enemy is outnumbered, so don't love to fight."

The difference between ordinary generals and famous historical generals lies in their grasp of fighter opportunities.Fighting opportunities are fleeting, and it is impossible to grasp them unless someone with a sensitive sense of smell on the battlefield.

At that moment, all the generals and schools said in unison: "Promise! I am willing to join the general."

After a while, following Yuan Hong's military order, the [-] cavalry soldiers who were resting in the mountains, carrying bows and spears, mounted their horses one after another.Following Yuan Hong's banner, he galloped out from the mountains.

Beishan Tuogu, head of hundreds of cavalry from the Hu tribe, led a hundred men as the vanguard, Guo Xiao, the head of the village, led the Han cavalry to break through, and Yuan Hong led the remaining cavalry troops to follow closely behind.

When Yuan Hong and others were discussing the surprise attack, Bian Lan and Sima Yi were collecting the military supplies in the camp to see if any were abandoned on the road or whether they were neatly arranged.

"General, your majesty's army marched to Duyang. According to your majesty's arrangement, our army's food and grass should be placed in Juancheng. We will adjust the marching direction after waiting for the battle ahead." Sima Yi pointed at the map and said.

Sima Yi is the son of Sima Yi's elder brother Sima Lang. After the death of his father Sima Lang, Sima Yi was promoted by the Cao family.This time Cao Rui's army went south, and the grain and grass came from all over the Central Plains. He was arranged to assist Bian Lan in supervising the transportation of grain and grass from Luoyang.

As for Bian Lan, she is the descendant of Cao Cao's wife Bian, served as General Zhaolie, and was named Kaiyanghou.

Bian Lan looked around at the civilian husbands who came and went, and said: "Your Majesty and the people of Shu are all fighting with large troops. The people of Shu occupy most of Nanyang, and their army food and grass can come from Nanyang. Therefore, Lan thinks that the current war will last for a long time! Be sure. Let Henan Yin arrange food and troops to prevent the lack of troops..."

Before Bian Lan finished speaking, there was a rapid sound of drums outside the camp as a warning.

Bian Lan, Sima Yi and others hurried to look, and saw the Han army coming from a distance.

Under the clear sky, one side put the flag tree in the center, and first waved it among the Han riders, blowing under the oncoming howling wind.Bian Lan, who was terrified, could see clearly that the flag of the 'Yuan' Han army was fluttering in the wind, the distance was getting closer, and the attack was getting more and more fierce!
"Enemy attack~" the Wei soldiers guarding the camp shouted hoarsely.

"Whoosh!"

Wei Zu, who was warning, was shot in the neck by an arrow and fell to the ground, raising dust.

"kill!"

Du Ni, who shot an arrow, galloped and shot, took out another arrow, and shot another Wei army patrolman.

His hundred cavalry commander, Beishan Tuogu, let out a frightening cry, rushed into the Wei army camp wielding a ring-shouldered sword, and slashed left and right the Wei army soldiers who were trying to gather to stop them.

The Han army galloped down from the heights of the plain, relying on the advantages of the terrain, to maximize the speed and impact of the cavalry, riding high and assaulting.

In an instant, the eight hundred Han cavalry had all rushed into the unprepared Wei army camp.

Yuan Hong charged forward with his horse, and stabbed forward. Under the relative speed, the strength of the horse was incredible. The one-foot-long horse pierced into the chest of a Wei army soldier, and the tip of the lance pierced through the back Back, extremely bloody.

The war horse continued to charge forward. Yuan Hong pulled out the long spear with his backhand and smashed it horizontally. The sharp point of the spear hit the head of the soldier of Wei army, killing him instantly, and blood overflowed from the mouth and nose.

Not long after, Yuan Hong went deep into the camp of the Wei army. Under the clear sky, the cavalry of the Han army chased and killed the Wei army, and the soldiers of the Wei army were fleeing.Along the way, except for some obstructions in front of the gate, when the Han cavalry arrived in the camp, both farmers and Wei soldiers scattered like birds, allowing the Han cavalry to hack and kill.

At the same time, the guards with good eyesight kept reporting the battle situation of the army by his side: "Guo Xiao went straight to the west gate and killed the right battalion of the Wei army! The flag is high and there should be no losses."

"Beishan Tuogu galloped into the camp and assaulted the enemy's need. There were fireworks rising from its direction."

"Yuan Cen rushed to the east gate, and the Wei army scattered in all directions. No one dared to attack."

Yuan Hong laughed loudly, looking at the Wei army gathering in the north, he raised his spear and shouted: "Follow me to the north, and drive these people into the water."

"promise!"

Those who were trying to form a counterattack were Zhao Lie's general Bian Lan and his deputy Sima Yi. After recovering from panic, they led dozens of guards and shouted to the scattered Wei soldiers.

However, their expectations were doomed.

"Enemy cavalry, be careful!" Wei Jun soldiers shouted looking at the galloping Han cavalry.

The sound fell and the arrow arrived, dozens of arrow feathers swished out from the cavalry formation.Then these cavalrymen separated to the left and right, and shot around the hundreds of Wei army formations with bows, showing them the road to the north.

Before a round of arrow rain fell, Wei soldiers, who were defenseless and without shields in their hands, scattered and fled towards the north.

Suddenly, Han cavalry in iron armor held a long spear and rushed into the Wei army formation that was on the verge of collapse.And the cavalry pawn who was archery took out his ring sword, and then slashed, blood was flying, and the wailing sound continued.

The Wei army's army collapsed completely, and under the shouts of the Han cavalry, they drove them north.

At some point, a Wei soldier shouted in horror: "The general was killed by the Han cavalry."

As soon as he said a word, the Wei soldiers fled faster.

Yuan Hong raised his bow and shot an arrow, hitting Wei Zu who was fleeing, as if he had returned to the time of hunting on the grassland.

Fleeing to Lishui, Wei Zu saw the Han riders chasing after him, no matter whether he could swim or not, he jumped into the water with a plop.

The Han riders on the shore stayed in place, holding bows and shooting arrows, and the green Lishui suddenly turned blood red.

……

Yuan Hong sat on the rock, wiping the blood-stained horse with a towel.The heads of Bian Lan and Sima Yi were piled up in front of him, and the Wei army camp at the foot of the slope was being engulfed in raging flames.

Guo Xiao stepped forward with a spear in his hand, and said with a smile: "General, our army killed 520 enemies and captured [-] enemies."

Yuan Hong blew on the sharp tip of the spear, and asked, "Is there any useful information?"

Guo Xiao saluted and said: "General Qi, according to what the enemy soldiers said, his department is one of the five departments of the Wei Army Superviser to transport grain, and the grain and grass he leads are the grain of Luoyang. Nearby is the army of Huanfan, the governor of Yanzhou, and his thief Emperor Cao Ruibing To Duyang."

After a pause, Guo Xiao asked: "General, what should we do with the prisoners when we go deep into the enemy's camp?"

Yuan Hong handed the cleaned horse to the guards, and said lightly: "Leave three important prisoners, and the rest will be punished, and their ears will be cut off to record their achievements."

"promise!"

Although it is not good to kill and surrender, but Yuan Hong and others went deep into the enemy's territory and brought so many prisoners, unless he is a saint, how could he not kill them.Compassion does not command soldiers, just as it is said.

"General, after this battle, where should our army march?" Guo Xiao asked.

Yuan Hong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, pondered for a while, and said: "Go south, take the road of Cao Rui's army, and join most of our army."
