Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1761 Destroying Yanjiu

On the outskirts of the main battlefield, on the lower reaches of the Mingzi River, on the official road on the north bank, soldiers and horses have been marching.

"Is there any news from the scout?"

Liu Bei was riding on the horse, looking into the distance, and there was a cold light flickering in his eyes.

Although he made a decision, he was always worried in his heart.

Zhang Fei is dead.

Guan Yu is his only brother.

If Guan Yu died in battle, he might really become a loner in this world.

No one is willing to be alone. No matter what, he still hopes that Guan Yu can survive and support him until the arrival of his troops.

"not yet!"

The general Shan Jing shook his head.

"Continue to explore!"

"Yes!"

The scouts were released again and again.

When they were less than five miles away from the battlefield, the news of the scouts finally came back.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Ming army has appeared in front of our army!"

"what?"

Liu Bei stared: "What about our army?"

"Our army..."

The scout hesitated.

"Say!"

"It is suspected that the entire army has been wiped out!"

"impossible!"

Liu Bei stared and shouted angrily: "This is impossible, I don't believe it!"

"Your Majesty, someone sent you a brocade box!"

"Bring it up!"

"Yes!"

After the brocade box was presented, Liu Bei opened it tremblingly, and sure enough, a bloody human head came out inside.

"Second brother!"

Looking at the bloody head, Liu Bei couldn't help but screamed.

His mournful cry was filled with unspeakable anger.

This is Guan Yu's head.

After Guan Yu died in battle, his head was beheaded, put in a brocade box, and sent over. He didn't want to guess what the Ming army's intentions were.

He has only one mood now, and that is to kill the Ming army at any cost, and avenge Guan Yu by killing: "Ming thief, I will drive you all to death!"

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"All the generals, advance quickly and advance in an all-round way. After an hour, I will fight the Ming army, and I will kill them this time!" Liu Bei yelled desperately.

"Your Majesty calm down!"

Guan Jing came up, bowed his hands and saluted, and then said: "The second general is defeated, and the center must have fallen into the hands of the Ming army. Our army hastily attacked, and it is easy to fall. It is better to rest on the spot, build fortifications, and delay time. Wait until the Xianbei cavalry If we go south and join forces to counterattack, we will definitely defeat the deployment of the Ming army and break out from the encirclement!"

"To shut up!"

Liu Bei yelled angrily, his eyes were cold, he looked at Guan Jing firmly, and said coldly: "Master Guan, just do your own thing well, this battle must be fought alone, if you don't drive out the Ming army, you will never die give up!"

He rarely lost his mind.

When Zhang Fei died in battle, he was just angry, very, very angry, but his reason was still there, but when Guan Yu died in battle, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore.

At this moment, he only wanted revenge at any cost, and he was unwilling to think about the rest.

Only by fighting can he avenge his shame.

He had to kill the main force of the Ming army to be worthy of Guan Yu's death in battle.

So at this moment, he no longer has much reason.

"Your Majesty..."

Guan Jing wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Jian Yong who was next to him. As Liu Bei's first staff member, Jian Yong was still more important to Liu Bei. He said in a low voice: "Master Guan, Since your Majesty has decided to fight, why do you stop it, you have to prepare for the issue of food and grass, and our army will surely win the battle!"

"Master Jane..."

"Master Guan, the king wants to fight, and nothing in the world can stop him!" Jian Yong reminded Guan Jing.

Although Liu Bei has a good temper, he is a king after all. When he is angry, no one can stop him, especially after tearing up the coat of kindness, Liu Bei himself has a violent air.

This point, the longer you follow Liu Bei, the more you can understand it.

So Jian Yong does not want Guan Jing to provoke Liu Bei at this time. If Liu Bei is calm, no matter how much Guan Jing offends, he can be let go, because he is very valuable, so Liu Bei will not do anything to him, but people Everyone has emotions, and when Liu Bei's emotions are at an extreme, it is uncertain how he will treat Guan Jing.

The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang have been dependent on each other since they conquered the Yellow Turban Army. They have a deep relationship. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu died in battle one after another, which has already touched Liu Bei's emotions.

If at this time, Liu Bei's bottom line is abruptly challenged, then it is not impossible for Liu Bei to kill someone.

Guan Jing also understood Jian Yong's painstaking efforts, he just sighed secretly, a little helpless, considering the current situation, they should delay.

It was delayed until the Xianbei cavalry went south, as long as the cavalry went south, then they would have the opportunity to gather the main forces on the east and west lines, and rush out in the confrontation between the Ming army.

Breaking out of Shangdang and returning to Bingzhou will be their best strategic plan. At this time, Wei Jun must have already started to do it.

As long as they rushed out of the encirclement of the Ming army, the Ming army would not have time to pursue them.

It's a pity that Liu Bei has lost his mind now. No matter what he says, this battle is probably inevitable.

"go ahead!"

"Keep going!"

Tens of thousands of generals of the Yan army began to approach the camp of the Ming army in the near future.

But Guan Jing was still unwilling to admit defeat at this time.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Liu Bei, he could only find another way.

At this time, if the Xianbei cavalry can be accelerated to go south, with the ability of the Xianbei cavalry and Zhao Yun to quickly gather the main force, then they still have a chance to withdraw.

But when Guan Jing didn't know, the Xianbei cavalry who had gone south smoothly were blocked by a group of soldiers and horses.

..............................

Northeast of Shangdang.

on the plain.

The Xianbei cavalry and Zhao Yun divided their troops. Zhao Yun led his troops to contain the Ming army's soldiers and horses, while the Xianbei cavalry quickly moved south from the flank, that is, the southern line.

But this tactic was caught in advance by the Ming army.

Chen Gong needed to lead an army to storm the Yan army's eastern front and forcibly penetrate the Yan army's defenses, but it was Huang Shao who stayed here to defend.

All the main forces of Huang Shaoli's Zhaoming First Army are here.

Originally, Huang Shao only needed to stick to the camp.

But Huang Shao accidentally discovered that the Xianbei cavalry had entered the battlefield from the southern line, which made him hesitate. If he sent troops, the camp would be occupied by Zhao Yun.

If he doesn't send troops, then the Xianbei cavalry will go south as they wish.

As for the division of troops...

With his current strength, there are still two battalions placed on Huguan, leaving only five combat battalions, and he does not support his division of troops to resist at all.

Dividing the troops means that both ends are not in place, and both lose.

So he has to choose.

"If you stick to it, you will be able to defend it, but if you do this, the main force of the Yan army will inevitably break through our front line, and then we will encircle you..."

Huang Shao is a general of the type of military advisor. He likes to make decisions before acting. The more he thinks, the more his thoughts become a little chaotic, which makes his mind cluttered.

At this time, the staff office of the military headquarters and the captains of the battalions all gathered together to wait for Huang Shao's final decision.

"Your Majesty treats him as a national scholar, and I will repay him as a national scholar!"

Huang Shao pondered about his needs, and finally said a word in a low voice to himself.

He knew very well that if he sent troops, he would face the ruthless trampling of the Xianbei cavalry, and without a defense company, it was unlikely that he could stop it.

But he can act as a delay.

And without the army stronghold, even if Zhao Yun goes deep, with Zhao Yun's daily harassing troops outside the camp, it is impossible to have a great impact on Chen Gong.

So sending troops is his best choice, but this choice will put him in a dangerous place for Zhaoming's First Army.

Once the army is defeated, he will show that the first army will suffer heavy setbacks, and even lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

After all, they were dealing with cavalry.

How fierce are the cavalry? The cavalry outside the pass are definitely more vicious than the people inside the pass.

"send troops!"

Huang Shao stood up, holding a long sword in his hand, pointing forward, and said: "Give up the camp and move south. We must stop the Xianbei cavalry before Baishitan, and we must not let them go south into the main battlefield and harass me. The army's encirclement and suppression battle!"

"Yes!"

The captains of the various ministries handed over their orders, and then went to prepare one after another.

...............

Zhao Yun sent troops to contain the Ming army, and the Xianbei cavalry quickly crossed the river and went down the river. They were very fast, and in less than a day, they were already close to the battlefield.

"Yan Rou, how far is it?"

Ke Bi Neng looked at the tranquility in front of him and asked gloomyly.

"It's less than fifty miles at most!"

Yan Rou said in a low voice: "It only takes half a day for the cavalry to arrive!"

"Our warriors need to rest now!"

Ke Bi Neng thought for a while, and said: "Otherwise, even if we enter the battlefield, it will be difficult for our warriors to maintain their fighting strength!"

Yan Rou heard the words, thought about it, and did not deny Ke Bineng's statement.

If they ran for a long distance, if they could not maintain their physical strength and combat effectiveness, even if they rushed to the battlefield, they might be defeated in the end.

"Then rest for two hours, so that we can still rush to the battlefield before dark!"

Yan Rou said to Ke Bineng: "Leader Ke Bineng, you have an agreement with the king, and I believe you will abide by the agreement!"

"Hahaha!"

Ke Bineng laughed loudly: "Of course, I, the Xianbei warrior, is the one who promises the most!"

When Yan Rou heard this, she sneered in her heart.

Xianbei people, the bottom line, what he said was farting, so he never believed in Ke Bineng, and he wanted to use him and guard against him.

He followed him all the time to remind him to move forward. Only when the Xianbei cavalry entered the battlefield would it be possible to release the main force of the Yan army.

........................

Time passed bit by bit. On this small hillside, the Xianbei people seemed a little lazy, some were replenishing dry food, and some were feeding their horses with water.

Alas! ! !

Suddenly, some war horses suddenly barked.

This cry made the Xianbei warriors react quickly.

"Is there an enemy nearby?"

Ke Bineng's eyes are a little seductive.

"What do you mean?"

Yan Rou's pupils changed color.

"My war horse told me that there are enemies nearby, and he will have such a reaction because of the popularity he smells. This is the ability of the most stalwart horse on the grassland!"

Ke Bi Neng shouted loudly: "Boys, be on guard!"

"gather!"

"alert!"

The Xianbei boys moved quickly.

"Fire arrows!"

At this moment, a round of arrows covered it like rain.

"There are enemies!"

"Get on the horse!"

"Dodge!"

The Xianbei cavalry roamed the grasslands, and they would often be attacked on the grasslands, so they practiced their current reactions. When encountering enemies, their reactions are also the fastest.

far away.

Huang Shao held the binoculars in his hand, looked ahead, and watched the archers' bows and arrows fall into the enemy army ahead, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Although they reacted quickly, they still paid a lot to everyone, pass the order down." , the first battalion and the second battalion attack, attack directly!"

"Yes!"

The main force of the two battalions attacked quickly.

"kill!"

"In the jungle, their war horses can't exert their fighting power, kill them!"

"charge!"

"Archer cover!"

"Throw spears and break through their defenses!"

The Ming army's charge ability is very fierce.

"Damn Han people, I, Xianbei Erlang, let so many warriors die here!" Ke Bi Neng gritted his teeth, and bloody light appeared in his pupils.

Each of his Xianbei warriors is precious.

"Boss, this place is not suitable for cavalry combat. Why don't we retreat to the plain outside and fight them to the death!"

Yan Rou suggested.

Ke Bi Neng heard the words, thought about it, and recognized this point. The surrounding area is surrounded by mountains, with many trees and many obstacles. It is more difficult for cavalry to attack.

"Back up!"

"Back up!"

The Xianbei cavalry withdrew afterwards. They were very fast, gathered energy quickly, and dispersed like quicksand.

"General, they have withdrawn!" On the high ground, a general said to Huang Shao.

"The response is very fast!"

Huang Shao smiled wryly: "Next, it may be a hard fight!"

It is possible to ambush here, but it cannot be intercepted. If the cavalry pass through the official road, they can only intercept it openly, and then there will only be a hard fight.

"General, the captains of the various departments are ready. In this battle, we would rather die here than take half a step back!"

A young general said, cupping his hands.

"That's all!"

Huang Shao knew very well that he could dodge it, but if the Xianbei cavalry rushed over, no one knew how much damage it would have on the main battlefield of the Ming army.

The Ming army could not afford to lose this battle.

Therefore, even if all the children of the Zhaoming First Army died here, they must stop the attack of the Xianbei cavalry and intercept them here for at least three days.

"Pass my military order, the whole army enters the official road, and forms a frontal formation to intercept the Xianbei cavalry!"

Huang Shao said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

The orderly ordered quickly.

"Huang An!"

"General!"

"Lead your personal guards, bring our battle flag, our serial number, and other generals, and go meet General Chen Gong!"

"General, I'm not leaving!"

Huang An bowed his head, gritted his teeth and said.

He is not only Huang Shao's personal guard, but also Huang Shao's only blood relative. Huang Shao has no children, and his only nephew is Huang An.

"I will not leave, I am willing to live and die with the general!"

A group of participants bowed their heads and knelt down.

"go!"

Huang Shao snorted coldly: "Bring me back the yellow scarf flag and the designation of the Zhaoming First Army. In this battle, I will repay Your Majesty's kindness with myself, but the Zhaoming First Army cannot be wiped out!"
