Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1566 Egret Pavilion

   Heluo.

  Yuan Shao sided with the army.

   Zhang He looked forward, and for some reason, there was a sudden fluctuation in his heart.

   "Come here! Call the Marquis of the Vanguard Battalion!"

Although according to Xu's statement, he has already arranged an internal response in Luoyang City, and as soon as Zhang Jaw arrives, he will immediately respond and help Zhang He win the city, but Zhang He doesn't know why, the closer he is to Luoyang, the more he will Feel uneasy.

  According to the reconnaissance situation of the scouts, the area from Hanoi to Heluo is relatively safe, at least no large-scale traces of Cao Jun have been found.

  The military marquis of the vanguard battalion who followed also proved this point, and found nothing unusual.

  Zhang He exhaled slightly.

   After a while, several scouts in front ran back and reported, "General! Twenty miles ahead is the Bailu Pavilion! People from the Xu family brought three carts of ox wine and came to work!"

Although the voice of the scouts was not intentionally loud, but after walking for several days, there was nothing to eat. Suddenly they heard the cow wine, and the saliva couldn't help but secrete, even the guards and ordinary soldiers beside Zhang Xi , Hearing these news, he couldn't help but let out a low cheer. Three carts of ox wine, although not much, but mixed with some water, it has a taste to some extent, and it can relieve the glutton in the stomach.

  Zhang Yun pondered for a while, then looked at the excited faces on the left and right, nodded and said, "Forget it, let's go ahead, and camp at the Bailu Pavilion to rest tonight!"

  With ox wine as the target, the pawns seemed to move faster. When I saw the iconic building on the hill, I don't know who gave a cheer first, and then more soldiers cheered, breaking the tranquility of this area, and even disturbed the people who were originally on this hill. The birds in the forest above were chirping and flying in the sky.

The soldiers at the front had already arrived at the Bailu Pavilion, and they also saw three carts of beef and wine. Anyway, this day's exhausting march was finally over, and the next step was to enjoy the rare aroma of meat and wine. Shouted, then went to pull the ox cart, pulled it and left. The scalper pulling the cart didn't know if he realized something. After mooing a few times, he slowly fell silent amidst the cheers of the soldiers.

  The soldiers following behind couldn't help rushing forward, and the originally neat formation like a long snake inevitably became a little scattered.

  Zhang Yun frowned, looked left and right again, and after being silent for a while, he ordered the soldiers to camp under this small hill.

There was a burst of joy and laughter, and in less than half an hour, Yuan Jun slaughtered the three cows pulling the cart, including the bones and meat, and stewed them in a pot. Each group can get at least one meaty bone. There is even a small piece of meat, although it is not a lot, but it has already made these big soldiers laugh with satisfaction. While busy building their own tents, they licked their lips and stared at Tang Ke with expectant eyes.

   An hour later, the satisfied soldiers lay down in the tent one after another. Generally speaking, there is no need to wash kettles, bowls, etc., because I haven’t seen any oily soldiers for a long time, and they must be cleaner than washing them. Swallowed even the bowl. Many people just smacked their mouths, reminiscing about the taste of happiness, and fell asleep with a smile on their faces. Even the soldiers patrolling around the campsite were mostly swaying on horseback, more sleepy than awake. much.

   Near midnight, a war horse suddenly raised its head vigilantly, opened its eyes wide and pricked up its ears, snorted loudly, and looked into the depths of the darkness. Immediately, more war horses who were crowded together to rest seemed to be frightened by something, and they all neighed in fear and anxiety, but the soldiers who were extremely relaxed physically and mentally fell asleep too soundly. He fell to the ground, completely unaware of the abnormal behavior of his war horse.

If they are veterans with sufficient experience, they may be able to find out the problem earlier. On the one hand, most of the cavalry veterans are concentrated in Youbei, restrained by Xianbei and Wuhuan. Of these cavalry, only one-third of them are veterans, and the rest are rookies.

  In the bleak and cold night wind, there was a faint roar, the sound was not loud, but it became more and more clear.

  Zhang He suddenly rushed out of the tent, roaring angrily...

  The dumbfounded Yuan Jun soldiers began to wake up, their eyes widened, and they stared at the night outside the camp in horror...

  The soldiers on duty struck the gong, causing even greater riots...

   The roaring sound is getting louder and thicker, and the ground has already felt an obvious vibration...

   "Sneak attack, enemy sneak attack..."

  The terrified and shrill cry instantly tore through the night sky.

  In the darkness, a torrent suddenly gushed out, roaring out like a stormy sea.

   "Bastard! This is a trap!" Zhang He suddenly realized that the Bailu Pavilion was a landmark, and this landmark was a trap, a trap that attracted them to stay here.

   Didn't it mean that Cao Jun's cavalry are all in Qingzhou?

   When does it show up here?

  Cunning Cao thief!

   "Fix the formation! Quickly complete the formation!" Zhang He shouted, grabbed his spear, and got on his horse.

  However, Cao Jun came too fast, and Yuan Jun was a little unresponsive. When he found out, he was already too close. There was no time to organize a decent defense system. He could only rely on his own bravery to fight on his own...

  Cao Jun’s cavalrymen didn’t say a word, they all lay down on their horses, and rushed towards the panicked and chaotic Zhang He’s camp at the extreme speed of their horses.

  Xia Houyuan's face was full of murderous intent, menacing, with both hands flat on the gun, raised his head and roared: "Kill! Kill in!"

   Youdao takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but Xia Houyuan's long spear, although it has not been ten years, has been sharpened for three or four years! Ever since seeing Zhengxi cavalry, Xia Houyuan has been holding his breath, wanting to compete...

   Now, although the opponent is not Zhengxi, Xia Houyuan can also let Xia Houyuan release some anger that is still suffocated!

   "Kill! Kill in!"

  Xia Houyuan galloped on his horse, roaring loudly.

   Bailu Pavilion is the place where Yuan Jun died!

   There is only a small mound in this place, which is flat on all sides, suitable for cavalry to gallop. Generally speaking, I would not choose this place, but Xu's three carts of beef wine and the heavy words promised before made Zhang He wrongly judge that the battle would only start near Luoyang, and relaxed at Bailuting. vigilance.

In addition, generally speaking, the reason why raids are difficult is that it is difficult to form an accurate encirclement time on the battlefield without instant communication. However, because of the landmark Bailuting, Cao Cao can The cavalry was comfortably divided into two teams. One team was led by Xia Houyuan and came from the southeast, while the other team was led by Li Dian and came from the west, forming a situation of encirclement, which increased the power of the three-point cavalry raid!

  Cao Cao's cavalry all looked excited, shouting wildly, the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering, and the sound shook the sky. On the contrary, Yuan Jun was unprepared and was stunned by the rushing cavalry of Cao Jun. They were panicked and terrified, and they were in a hurry. They completely lost the orderly appearance during training and yelled in the camp. Running back and forth. Under the encouragement of command and control by the generals and sergeants at all levels, they could only force themselves to remain calm, or they each held various weapons, or rode on horses, and approached each other. A pile, it is difficult to form an effective defensive posture.

  Cao Jun split into two groups, like two huge war hammers. Amidst the whistling sound, they slammed heavily into Yuan Jun's camp, making a deafening bang!

Xia Houyuan controlled the horse, soared high into the sky, stretched his limbs, jumped into the middle of the densely packed Yuan Shao soldiers, swung his big guns, swept and stabbed, and the two Yuan soldiers who wanted to escape and avoid the impact were immediately killed. killed.

   In the other direction, Li Dian also shouted, and rushed into the camp, surrounded by blood and screams, which made Yuan Jun even more in a dilemma, not knowing which direction to defend.

  Yuan Jun was running, screaming, flying in the air, and collapsed under the horse's hooves.

  Cao Bing was slashing, roaring, slaughtering at will, and roaring on his horse.

  The battlefield suddenly fell into fierce fighting...

A cavalryman of Cao Jun who was rushing forward was cut by several Yuan Jun's counterattacks and injured his horse's leg. Suddenly, the huge body of the horse fell suddenly, and Cao Jun's cavalry also fell to the ground with inertia, and was surrounded by several Yuan Jun. The knife, but still outnumbered, was stabbed in the ribs by a Yuan Jun at close range. Cao Jun's cavalry roared, and saw that Yuan Jun's neck with the knife, and the blade was stuck on the spine!

  However, more Cao Jun cavalry rushed forward at the next moment! Before these Yuan Jun could even be happy, they were knocked into the air by the Cao Jun cavalry rushing forward, their bones were broken and their tendons were broken, they fell to the ground, and then disappeared into the flying horseshoes.

The only defense systems of Yuan Jun collapsed quickly under such waves of Cao Jun's impact, just like the accumulated snow meets the scorching sun. Soon there was no way to speak of the front line, and Zhang Xi was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

   "General! General!" Zhang Yun's guards shouted eagerly, "The left and right sides have been broken. Cao Jun doesn't know how many people are, and he can't resist! The general should retreat quickly and unite with General Gao, so that the whole team can fight again!"

  Zhang He stared fiercely at Xiahou's flag as he rushed through the camp, suppressed his anger and impulse, and gritted his teeth, "Retreat!"

Zhang He and others fought and left, preparing to escape from the Bailu Pavilion and make a round with Gao Lan in the rear, but as soon as Zhang He moved, Xia Houyuan spotted him, and immediately left the scattered Yuan Jun troops behind Zhang He, yelling, Called to kill.

   What cannot be let down is youth, and what cannot be provoked is a general who has lost much youth.

  For example Zhang He.

Seeing Xia Houyuan's crazy appearance, the sound of wind and thunder hidden in the waving of the spear, and his arrogance, Zhang Xi couldn't bear it anymore. He patted his horse and went straight forward. Xia Houyuan bumped into one place.

Both of them are ruthless people, basically adhering to the policy of never BBing if they can do it. When they met, they were ruthless. Xia Houyuan shot at Zhang He's chest and abdomen, but Zhang He didn't even look at it. With his long spear, he slashed at Xia Houyuan's neck with an iron halberd.

  The spear was short and the halberd was long, Xia Houyuan was forced to change his move first, shook the body of the gun, and then hit Zhang He's iron halberd with the tip of the gun, and then used the elasticity to stab Zhang He's waist back!

Between the lightning and the flint, although Zhang Yun's iron halberd was blocked, he pulled out his saber at some point in his hand, and pressed the saber on the handle of Xia Houyuan's spear, not only pushing Xia Houyuan's spear away, but also approaching with the horses of both sides staggered. At this moment, he slid and slashed along the spear shaft!

  Xia Houyuan was shocked, and there was no time to make any changes, so he could only let go of the spear, stretched out his hand to his back, drew out his saber, and slashed down!

   There was a loud "clang" of swords on both sides, and they collided in one place, and the flames splashed everywhere!

  Among the flames, the fierce eyes of two people flashed past...

   Zhang Yun led his men to counterattack. Although he failed to kill Xia Houyuan, it also cut off the momentum of Xia Houyuan's continued pursuit...

As for the other Yuan Jun cavalry, they suffered heavy losses after enduring the fierce attack of Cao Jun. In addition, there is a difference between training and actual combat. The veterans may still be able to persist in fighting, but many of the new recruits have been heartbroken and have no morale. All of them had no intention of fighting, and only wanted to escape from this **** battlefield as soon as possible.

Following Zhang Yun's retreat, Yuan Jun's cavalry, without the command of the general, quickly collapsed like a mess of sand. After a short period of hopeless resistance, they were immediately defeated by the vicious Cao Jun, and many were even surrounded. up.

After a night of **** fire, Zhang Xi was defeated. Most of the newly trained soldiers were killed or injured, and some were even captured alive. This is a shame for the cavalry, but Xia Houyuan also suffered a lot of losses, mainly because of the long drive. The war horses consumed too much, and the cold wind in the winter blew all night. Although the victory was great, it still caused many war horses to be unable to fight anymore, and it was a bit traumatic...

  However, Xia Houyuan's problem can only be recovered after raising his horses. Although Zhang Xi joined Gao Lan, his morale dropped and his troops lost. Coupled with the weather, he had to retreat temporarily.

  The winter of the fourth year of Yanping.

  Yuan Shao's army marched into Yanzhou. Zhang He Gaolan was the vanguard of the cavalry army, but he fell into an ambush by Cao Jun in the Heluo area, and lost more than half of it, so he was forced to retreat to Hanoi to rest.

  Yuan Shao was furious when he heard the news, and personally led the army to storm the Baima Ferry. Cao Cao couldn't resist, and within seven days he was captured five camps, and had to retreat to Dongjun...

Yuan Shao originally wanted to chase after Cao Cao, but at a critical moment, God rescued Cao Cao again. A sudden heavy snow blocked Yuan Jun's pursuit, and even put Yuan Shao's army's logistics supplies in trouble, and had to stay temporarily Come down and wait for the weather to improve.
