Chapter 247 Escape and kill the enemy
Chapter 247 Escape and kill the enemy
Xiangyang is more than 150 miles away from Qizhong, Xianshan is more than ten miles away from Xiangyang, and Longzhong is twenty or thirty miles away from Xiangyang.
With a clear strategy of destroying Meifu quickly, Zhang He was worried that the Taizhong barbarians would notice it, so he adopted the strategy of using troops and speed, and led five thousand elite infantry and cavalry to attack Taizhong.
Cao Ren led more than [-] people to leave Xiangyang and set up camp in Xian Mountain to build a fort. To the south, he could support Zhang He in Taizhong and to the west, he could see Li Tong in Longzhong. The geographical location was advantageous.
Huo Jun noticed Cao Ren's actions and ordered his scouts to watch Xiangyang and Xianshan. He also asked his sergeants to try to go ashore during the day. At night, he spread out torches along the Han River and made a move to set up camp ashore.Cao Ren also took action and sent sergeants to patrol the river. Whenever Wu and Chu soldiers came ashore, he would attack them halfway across the river.
Huo Jun and Cao Ren confronted each other, but it took Zhang He a day and a half to arrive at Qizhong. The barbarian king Meifu didn't expect Zhang He to arrive with his army, and he was in a panic.Meifu surrendered to Zhang He and begged for surrender, but secretly gathered troops.
Zhang He saw through Meifu's thoughts and did not give Meifu any time. He led his troops to break into the stronghold and surrendered to Meifu.With Meifu's surrender, Zhang He divided his troops and asked his subordinates to take Meifu's orders to move the Pazhong barbarians to Dazhai.
At this time, Zhang Fei had led his cavalry for more than a hundred miles from Dangyang to a place more than ten miles south of Qizhong.
Zhang Fei's thick fingers reached into the grain bag to grab a handful of beans and fed them to the war horse.He himself was chewing biscuits with the other knights. Sometimes his mouth would get dry, and he would take the water bag and fill his mouth with water.
Huo Jun's military orders were sent down the Han River to Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong.He informed Zhang Fei of Zhang He's troop movements and conveyed his military orders.
After receiving Huo Jun's military order, Zhang Fei was unambiguous and led more than a thousand cavalry to Piaozhong.The infantry were handed over to the command of Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong led the infantry to arrive by boat.
Zhang Fei raised his head and glanced at the big sun, fanned the wind with his hand, and said, "Jun Yi, have the scouts come back?"
Shiren shook his collar to dissipate heat and said, "General, judging from the distance, he should be back."
Zhang Fei sat under the shade of a tree and said with a smile: "Zhang He is so bold and dares to move people in front of our army. How can I let him have his way?"
Zhang He was not a man without a plan. He led his soldiers to attack Peizhong because he valued the strength of his troops and his speed. He wanted to make a time difference and move away the barbarians in Peizhong.However, his actions were noticed by Huo Jun and the message was sent to Zhang Fei.
When Zhang Fei heard the news, he also led his cavalry to attack, not wanting to let Zhang He succeed.After all, if Zhang He succeeds in breaking the stronghold and moving the people north, Cao Ren, who is stationed in Xian Mountain, will send troops to support him.
While Zhang Fei was waiting, the scout came back galloping, dismounted, and said: "Report to the general, Zhang He has broken into the trap. The barbarian king Meifu has been captured by him. Now Zhang He has ordered his sergeants to go out to plunder the people. Now the only soldiers and horses in the tent are 800 people.”
There are more than 6 people and more than [-] households living in Tezhongman. They live along the river valleys and mountains. Naturally, they do not all live together.Zhang He destroyed the Dazhai where Meifu lived and wanted to move the Pazhong barbarians north, so he naturally had to divide his troops and go to the countryside to gather the people.
"Eight hundred troops?"
Zhang Fei, who was sitting on the ground, grinned, clapped his legs, and said in surprise: "Hurry up and get on your horse, chase Zhang He, don't let him escape."
"promise!"
Zhang Fei put on his saddlebags, pulled the reins, climbed onto his horse, raised his long spear high, and called to his horsemen to follow him.
"嘚~"
"嘚~"
The war horses were galloping, and the smoke was billowing, and they were killing each other in the bushes.
The terrain in Taizhong is mostly low hills.It was now summer, and the weather was unbearably hot. Zhang He sent his sergeants out to capture the people, while he led 800 of his close followers to rest in the shade of the trees. Most of them were barbarians on the left and right.
Cicadas were chirping in the trees, and the cool breeze blew by, which was very cool.
Suddenly, several scouts ran towards Zhang He, looking very frightened.
"General, the Southern Cavalry is coming!" the scout shouted pointing to the south.
"what?"
Zhang He, who was resting under a tree, jumped up anxiously and asked, "How many people are there?"
The scout replied: "The smoke and dust are billowing, it's hard to count, the general coming is Zhang Fei."
"Zhang Fei?"
Zhang He was shocked again when he heard that the coming general was Zhang Fei.
How could he not have heard of Zhang Fei's name?His bravery is as famous as Guan Yu, and he is known as the enemy of ten thousand people.How did it come so fast now?Maybe he detected his movements in advance.
His confidant Shi Shu asked: "General, our soldiers are scattered in all directions and looting the people. If we can't repel Zhang Fei now, the people will no longer be ours!"
"war?"
Zhang He's mind was racing and he cursed: "Now the soldiers are scattered in all directions and looting the people. There are only 800 people in the tent. How can we fight Zhang Fei!"
"That……"
Zhang He pulled the horse, interrupted Shi Shu's words, and said: "Abandon the barbarians in Taizhong, lead the army to retreat north, and send orders to go out and plunder the tribes to retreat to Xiangyang. Don't be greedy for money."
"promise!"
When it comes to understanding current affairs, among the generals in Cao's army, Zhang He should be the leader.Now the situation suddenly changed and Zhang Fei attacked, so he knew something was wrong.Zhang Fei was able to come with his cavalry. He must have noticed the movement of his own people, so he came prepared.
How can he defeat Zhang Fei and his cavalry with 800 men under his tent?The only option now is to withdraw the troops, but we cannot risk our own lives for the sake of the barbarian people.Moreover, if he fights Zhang Fei, the barbarians in the middle of the river may not be able to help him, so how can he fight?
He left as soon as he said so. Zhang He turned around like the wind, knowing how to let go and how to advance and retreat.
Not long after Zhang He left with his [-] elite soldiers, before the barbarians could escape, Zhang Fei came with his cavalry.
"Where is Zhang He?"
Zhang Fei pulled the reins and asked loudly.
Seeing the angry Zhang Fei, the Yi people said nervously: "General Qi, General Cao has already led his army to escape after hearing the name of the general. He does not dare to stay."
"asshole!"
Zhang Fei looked north and spat, saying, "Zhang He is really good at running, and his agility is unparalleled. It's like this!"
Umeshiki, who surrendered, walked out of the crowd and said gratefully: "Thank you, General, for saving me, otherwise we would have been homeless in a foreign land."
Zhang Fei squinted at Meishi and asked, "Who are you?"
Meifu nodded and bowed, and said: "A certain person is the leader of the barbarian people in Qiaozhong. I have met the general."
Zhang Fei pointed with his whip and said: "This place has been plundered by bandits and it is no longer safe. You can lead your people to retreat to the south of Dangyang, where there will be soldiers to support you."
"what!"
Umeshiki's expression changed greatly and he said, "We live in Taizhong..." "Huh?"
Zhang Fei stared at Meishi with his bell-like eyes, which were full of coldness, frightening Meishi to dare not speak.
"Jun Yi took Commander Mei and the Yi people under his control to retreat southward and handed them over to General Huang." Zhang Fei ordered.
"No!" Shiren said with his hands raised.
Zhang Fei held the reins and said loudly: "Although Zhang He is fleeing, there are still soldiers and horses outside the tent to plunder. Please follow me to kill the thieves."
"promise!"
Huo Jun assigned Zhang Fei's mission, which was to move away the barbarians from Qizhong after defeating Zhang He.As for the tens of thousands of people guarded by Li Tong in Longzhong, they will be dealt with by Huo Jun and his troops.
Although Zhang Fei did not defeat Zhang He today, he still defeated tens of thousands of barbarians.At this time, Huo Jun had also taken action and launched a strategy of attacking from the east to the west.
Before dawn, on the Han River, dozens of large ships secretly sailed westward in the darkness of night.The ship carries two generals, Ding Feng and Yu Shao, and three thousand elite soldiers under their tent. They will attack the Longzhong Mountain area at night.
In order to cover the second general, Huo Jun attacked Cao Ren's Xianshan camp at night.At this time, the lights in the waters east of Xianshan and Xiangyang were brightly lit, reflecting the river water and attracting the movements of all Cao's troops.
Why is it so difficult to relocate people this time and why is it necessary to deal with Cao's army like this?The core is that this time the people are around Xiangyang, not in areas far away from Xiangyang.
There are seven to eight hundred miles of plains and hills between Jiangling and Xiangyang. Cao Ren retreated to Xiangfan.The range that Cao Ren can radiate is not large, only one or two hundred miles.But the people Cao Ren moved to, such as Zhonglu and Yicheng, were less than a hundred miles away from Xiangyang.
Huo Jun was very ambitious. He wanted to push the battle line to Dangyang and eat as many people as possible around Xiangyang.If he moved first, he would be easily attacked by Cao Ren.After all, it is not easy to seize food from the tiger's mouth.
Now Cao Ren has gathered the people in Longzhong Mountain. Huo Jun only needs to defeat Li Tong to plunder the people and leave.
If you ask, what if a night attack on the military camp causes chaos and the people take advantage of the darkness to escape?
Then we have to thank Li Tong. In order to prevent the people from escaping, Li Tong placed the people in a mountain col, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the exit in the north.As long as Ding and Yu defeat Li Tong, they can win all the people.
The shore where we disembarked is only more than ten miles away from Longzhong Mountain Col.
Generals Ding and Yu led their sergeants to march with torches, and each village was connected with ropes to prevent any sergeants from getting lost.When they were six or seven miles from the camp, most of the soldiers extinguished their torches and moved forward relying on the sparse firelight.
Ding Feng, who had experience in night raids, divided his troops into several columns and led his warriors forward, wiping off the necks of sentry soldiers along the way and slowly approaching the camp.
At this time, in the camp of Cao's army, Li Tong was lying lazily in the tent.He was almost too busy these days. Most of the people in Hannan were unwilling to migrate. In addition to letting the officials take the lead, he used force to threaten migration.
He drove the people of Hannan to the Longzhong Mountain Col, but there were also many people who wanted to flee. Every day he had to prevent the people from escaping.He also had to solve trivial matters among the people, which made Li Tong very troubled, and it was not what he wanted.
He was originally a ranger, but when the world was in chaos, he and Chen Gong, a fellow county man, launched an army.Among them, he used despicable means to annex other rebels, and swallowed up the soldiers and horses under Chen Gong's account, becoming the overlord of Langling County.
In the first year of Jian'an, he saw the opportunity to join Cao Cao and started his promotion.Now he has been appointed as the prefect of Runan. Seeing Cao Cao's defeat at Jinkou, he came from Runan and the Jiangxia border to help Cao Cao.I hope that after the people move north this time, Cao Cao will reward him again.
To be honest, if there was no chaos in the world, how could Li Tong, Huo Jun, Lu Su and other ordinary powerful men be in high positions? Every chaotic period is an opportunity for them to make a leap.Therefore, Li Tong is by no means an ordinary person, otherwise he would not be able to climb to a high position.
Since Li Tong was ordered to relocate the people, he has done his best to place his military camp at the mouth of the mountain to prevent the people from fleeing.He was originally wary of Huo Jun coming to seize the people, but from the time he set up camp, Huo Jun's army was never seen. There were Xiangfan and Xianshan to the east blocking him, so he gradually became slack.
Suddenly, the shouts and shouts of the people in the mountain col rang out one after another, which made Li Tong frown when he was woken up from his sleep.This kind of noise from the common people happens almost every night. Either you steal my things or you touch my wife.
The noise gradually disappeared, and Li Tong was already snoring into a deep sleep.However, no matter how long it took, there was noise again in the camp. Li Tong heard a faint sound in his sleep. He thought it was the noise coming from the people in the col, but he continued to sleep.
Then, the guards outside the camp shouted in panic: "General, it's bad!"
Li Tong, who was sleeping at first, suddenly got up from the couch with his long-term battlefield experience and asked: "What's going on? But the people are rebelling?"
He relied on force to move and suppress. It was not that there were no rebellions by the people, but they were all suppressed by him.
The guard raised the curtain and shouted: "It's not that the people are rebelling, but that the enemy troops attacked our camp at night and now they have entered the camp."
Li Tong put on his armor, picked up his sword, and walked out of the camp quickly.Without the sound insulation of the camp, shouts of death and screams flooded into his ears.
He looked around and found that the defenders, like him, were accustomed to the noise of the people. Most of them were in deep sleep and basically did not respond.It wasn't until the enemy invaders came to the front that some of the defenders reacted.How could they resist the Wu Chu elite who entered the camp in a hurry.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking the air resounded around the camp, and the screams of our own soldiers sounded one after another.
Hearing the sound of crossbows, Li Tong's expression changed.Those who dare to use crossbows in night battles and close combat are basically elites, and their enemies must also be elites who are good at night combat.
Night fighting requires extremely high quality of soldiers, and no ordinary sergeant can play it.In the Battle of Chrysostom, Huo Jun's entire army went out to fight. However, due to the fire that night, not only the enemy's soldiers were lost, but also his own infantry were lost in the night. Only a small group of soldiers could fight.
Generals Ding Feng and Yu Shao had followed Huo Jun for a long time, and Huo Jun liked to use night attacks, so their elites had already prepared a way to deal with night attacks.For example, the sword and shield open the way, the spear takes the back seat, and the crossbowman cooperates with the combat skills.
"General, what should we do now?" the guard asked nervously.
Li Tong held the spear in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The Chinese army's camp has antlers. Use the antlers to defend it. When the Chinese army soldiers gather, it may not be impossible to fight against the enemy. And our army is attacked. How could General Cao not know? He will surely do it." Come to the rescue.”
Li Tong took the lead and said sternly: "Follow me, call the sergeants to assemble!"
Li Tong's camp is divided into two camps, the inner and outer. The inner camp is stationed with 800 Chinese troops. Although the number is not large, they are veterans of Runan who have followed Li Tong for many years and are the elite of his camp.
Following Li Tong's order, the Chinese army sergeants gathered hundreds of people one after another. However, under the emergency, the armor was uneven, but the war was urgent but they could not care about anything.
"on!"
"Hold the antlers!"
Seeing that the enemy invaders were about to use his antlers, Li Tong strode forward, fought hard with a spear, and cooperated with the sergeants on his left and right to kill several Wu and Chu soldiers.
Li Tong defeated a wave of soldiers under Ding Feng's tent, but not long after, Ding Feng led his elite troops to rush in. The leading soldier held a large wolf spear, and there were shield hands on the wolf spear to protect each other, and there were long swords on the left and right. Spearmen, and there are also crossbowmen hidden among them.
A wolf, a narrow road, a weapon for fighting.When they engaged the soldiers in Li Tong's tent, their sight was severely blocked, and crossbows and spears stabbed out from the branches without warning, killing the elite soldiers in Li Tong's tent.
After the Yuanyang Formation was developed by Huo Jun, many of his sergeants learned it. In addition to being useful on mountain roads and hills, it can also be used in street fighting and night fighting.
Li Tong fought forward. He tried his best to avoid the piercing of the wolf's head, and passed the spear in his hand through the dense branches, trying to stab the wolf's hand to death.However, the shield hand protected Lang Zhen's hand, preventing Li Tong from succeeding.
Li Tong drew his spear and wanted to stab him again, but his vision was affected by the branches and the night. Several spears jumped out from the wolf's tent. Li Tong dodged one, but couldn't dodge the second.The sharp spear pierced his abdomen, and hot blood gushed out.
Li Tong fluttered and fell to the ground.My mind is filled with wealth and promotion, and I close my eyes unwillingly!
PS: I am short of status today, please forgive me.
It lacks status and feels that the plot is not well written.Please forgive me, forgive me!

Xiangyang is more than 150 miles away from Qizhong, Xianshan is more than ten miles away from Xiangyang, and Longzhong is twenty or thirty miles away from Xiangyang.

At this time, Zhang Fei had led his cavalry for more than a hundred miles from Dangyang to a place more than ten miles south of Qizhong.
Zhang Fei's thick fingers reached into the grain bag to grab a handful of beans and fed them to the war horse.He himself was chewing biscuits with the other knights. Sometimes his mouth would get dry, and he would take the water bag and fill his mouth with water.
Huo Jun's military orders were sent down the Han River to Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong.He informed Zhang Fei of Zhang He's troop movements and conveyed his military orders.

Generals Ding Feng and Yu Shao had followed Huo Jun for a long time, and Huo Jun liked to use night attacks, so their elites had already prepared a way to deal with night attacks.For example, the sword and shield open the way, the spear takes the back seat, and the crossbowman cooperates with the combat skills.
"General, what should we do now?" the guard asked nervously.
Li Tong held the spear in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The Chinese army's camp has antlers. Use the antlers to defend it. When the Chinese army soldiers gather, it may not be impossible to fight against the enemy. And our army is attacked. How could General Cao not know? He will surely do it." Come to the rescue.”
Li Tong took the lead and said sternly: "Follow me, call the sergeants to assemble!"
Li Tong's camp is divided into two camps, the inner and outer. The inner camp is stationed with 800 Chinese troops. Although the number is not large, they are veterans of Runan who have followed Li Tong for many years and are the elite of his camp.
Following Li Tong's order, the Chinese army sergeants gathered hundreds of people one after another. However, under the emergency, the armor was uneven, but the war was urgent but they could not care about anything.
"on!"
"Hold the antlers!"
Seeing that the enemy invaders were about to use his antlers, Li Tong strode forward, fought hard with a spear, and cooperated with the sergeants on his left and right to kill several Wu and Chu soldiers.
Li Tong defeated a wave of soldiers under Ding Feng's tent, but not long after, Ding Feng led his elite troops to rush in. The leading soldier held a large wolf spear, and there were shield hands on the wolf spear to protect each other, and there were long swords on the left and right. Spearmen, and there are also crossbowmen hidden among them.
A wolf, a narrow road, a weapon for fighting.When they engaged the soldiers in Li Tong's tent, their sight was severely blocked, and crossbows and spears stabbed out from the branches without warning, killing the elite soldiers in Li Tong's tent.
After the Yuanyang Formation was developed by Huo Jun, many of his sergeants learned it. In addition to being useful on mountain roads and hills, it can also be used in street fighting and night fighting.
Li Tong fought forward. He tried his best to avoid the piercing of the wolf's head, and passed the spear in his hand through the dense branches, trying to stab the wolf's hand to death.However, the shield hand protected Lang Zhen's hand, preventing Li Tong from succeeding.
Li Tong drew his spear and wanted to stab him again, but his vision was affected by the branches and the night. Several spears jumped out from the wolf's tent. Li Tong dodged one, but couldn't dodge the second.The sharp spear pierced his abdomen, and hot blood gushed out.
Li Tong fluttered and fell to the ground.My mind is filled with wealth and promotion, and I close my eyes unwillingly!
