Xuande

Chapter 218
When the dust settled, the damned person was already dead and couldn't die anymore. No matter how depressed Liu Bei was, he couldn't go up to repair Li Wenhou's knife.

In a blink of an eye, he saw that the general flag belonging to Li Wenhou was still sticking there, thought for a while, sighed, and rushed forward.

The guards around him fought bloody battles for him, removing all obstacles. Liu Bei easily reached the flag, pulled out his sword, and cut off the flag with one blow.

It can be regarded as giving yourself a little comfort.

Li Wenhou died, and was stabbed off his horse by Guan Yu with a spear. Whether he was stabbed to death by the spear or fell off the horse to death is hard to say, anyway, he is dead.

Then his flag was cut off by Liu Bei.

When Li Wenhou died, the Liangzhou rebels didn't necessarily know.

But when his flag fell, more people knew about it.

The news of Li Wenhou's death quickly spread, and the cavalry troops of the Liangzhou rebels collapsed. The cavalry of the Han army won a hearty victory.

Then the remaining Liangzhou cavalry began to flee in a complete rout. Liu Bei raised his arms and led the Han cavalry under him to pursue the pursuit. Following the direction in which the Liangzhou cavalry fled, he began to attack the rear of the Liangzhou rebels' main formation.

At this moment, the main forces of the two rebel armies led by Han Sui and Bian Zhang were respectively entangled by the two Han armies of Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen. They were fighting fiercely and could not move.

As a reserve team, Beigong Boyu's troops have dispatched all the cavalry to assist in the battle, and there is no spare power.

Two rebel armies, Wang Guo and Song Yang, are surrounding the city firmly held by the Han army in the rear to prevent the Han army from threatening their rear.

They have no extra troops to deal with this emergency.

So facing the turbulent and murderous cavalry of the Han army, Beigong Boyu was timid.

He saw the downfall of Li Wenhou with his own eyes, and he saw the bravery of the cavalry of the Han army. They almost tore up the cavalry under Li Wenhou head-on, which made Beigong Boyu terrified.

He couldn't see the possibility of turning the situation around. He only had infantry left, some not so elite Qiang infantry who lacked armor and were not so good at forming formations.

How to fight this?
There is no need to fight!

If these cavalry surrounded him and hung him far away, he would be trapped here to death sooner or later.

Counting on Han Sui and Bian Zhang to rescue him?

Then it's better to hope that a thunder will come down from the sky and kill them all!
hit what?
run!

So he made up his mind, took a deep breath, turned his horse around without saying a word, and began to turn in.

If you want to survive a failed battlefield, you must either have a thick armor, or turn in faster than others.

As long as you turn into Wind, no one can kill you on the battlefield.

Therefore, transfer, in a sense, is also a skill that generals must learn.

Beigong Boyu felt that his armor was not thick enough, so he decisively chose to run away, and decisively turned in under the protection of his hundreds of cavalry guards.

As soon as he turned in, the rest of the subordinates didn't want to stay here to die, and they all turned in together. When the Han army cavalry chased them, the rebels had already collapsed on their own initiative and turned in fully.

Liu Bei then commanded the cavalry of the Han army to pursue in two directions.

He personally led the way to pursue Beigong Boyu, surrounded the crumbling infantry of Beigong Boyu who had not had time to run far, and used classic cavalry tactics to deal with them, letting them know the sharpness of the Han army .

How to fight encirclement tactics is something that every cavalry must understand. Infantry without an army formation is just a moving target in the eyes of cavalry.

Cavaliers who are safer will still follow the steps, using cavalry and shooting tactics to reduce the number of infantry first, and wait for the infantry to completely collapse before drawing their swords and horses to take the heads.

The cavalry generals who lead the sudden cavalry will not talk so much about the violent point, let's talk about it after rushing!
Zhang Fei and Dong Huang are such generals, who care about so many things, let's go first and then talk!
So they galloped on horses, rampaging through the chaotic army, and smashed the Liangzhou rebels into pieces, turning them into lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Liu Bei led his troops to chase Beigong Boyu's general flag all the way, and shot arrows while chasing, killing a large number of guards around Beigong Boyu.

But should I say it or not, the guards around Beigong Boyu are quite tough. Some of them are very skilled in equestrianism, and even have the ability to turn around and draw a bow, which also caused some troubles for the Han cavalry.

But these were minor troubles, and Beigong Boyu did not escape Liu Bei's pursuit in the end.

His turn-in speed was still too slow. It seemed that he hadn't studied turn-in skills, and he wasn't a famous general with long legs. Liu Bei, who was full of pursuit skills, caught up with him.

Under the shooting of a large number of arrows, his speed continued to slow down, and he was overtaken by the Han army.

In the end, all the personal guards around Liu Bei deliberately gave the credit to Liu Bei, and made way for Liu Bei to sprint with spears.

Liu Bei was very excited, and he charged with a spear in his hand. He stabbed Beigong Boyu under the horse with one spear, then beheaded him, cut off the general flag, and declared his great martial arts.

The tone in Liu Bei's heart can be regarded as smooth.

Beigong Boyu himself was dead, and the infantry he abandoned naturally did not have a good end.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Jian, Dong Huang, and two Xiahous led the cavalry repeatedly to charge and kill them. The cavalry of the Han army tried their best, and finally the entire infantry under Beigong Boyu collapsed. , All threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for their lives.

The collapse of Li Wenhou's department and Beigong Boyu's department had a great impact on the overall rebel army in Liangzhou.

It's fine if Li Wenhou died in battle. If his strength is weak, he can be considered a man if he dies in a fierce battle.

But Han Sui and Bian Zhang never thought that Beigong Boyu was actually a pig teammate, leaving the intact infantry regiment alone, leaving aside the teammates who were fighting desperately, and directly transferred to Rufeng!

So much so that Beigong Boyu's infantry directly collapsed without buying them any time.

When Han Sui and Bian Zhang realized that their retreat was being threatened by the cavalry of the Han army, they didn't even have much time to mobilize troops and horses to protect the retreat.

Because the Han army still has spare strength.

Standing on a high place, Zhang Wen watched the whole process of the battle. He was ecstatic when he saw the cavalry of the Han army under the leadership of Liu Bei fighting bloody battles to victory and defeating the troops of two enemy generals in succession.

He immediately ordered the entire reserve team to press on and expand the results of the victory. If he can block the escape route of the rebels, block the rebels here, try to wipe out the rebels, and win them in one battle, he, Zhang Maybe I can go back and be a captain!
rush!rush!rush!
If it weren't for his age and lack of agility, Zhang Wen would have wanted to go into battle in person like Liu Bei.

Then another cavalry of the Han army rushed out, heading straight for the rear of the rebels, preparing to join Liu Bei and block the escape route of the rebels. Can't move, the situation is extremely critical.

As a result, at the most critical time, [-] reinforcements sent by the Kingdom arrived on the battlefield.

This support army was not originally in the plan of the rebels.

However, the kingdom that was besieging Chencang felt that Chencang was too difficult to fight, and they couldn't get any credit or benefit, so they thought about sending troops to Meiyang to see if they could make some profit by taking military merit. In the end, this sudden army became the rebel army. Life-saving straw.

Liu Bei was leading the cavalry to make a big detour, intending to cut off the retreat of the rebels, encircle them all here and eat them all in one go, but he bumped into the 1 infantry of the kingdom's troops head-on, and an encounter began on the spot.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui quickly learned of this situation, and immediately dispatched all available reserve troops to attack Liu Bei with the Kingdom's troops, eat Liu Bei, and ensure their retreat.

At that time, Liu Bei was in a very dangerous situation. There were less than [-] cavalry around him, but he was surrounded by [-] troops. The situation was very dangerous.

Fortunately, Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun led cavalry to kill one after another, and the reinforcements sent by Zhang Wen arrived in time, and the two sides fought randomly, finally taking Liu Bei out of the chaotic battlefield.

The sudden reinforcements from the rebels disrupted Zhang Wen's deployment.

Zhang Wen didn't have time to send more support to help Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's troops were exhausted after defeating Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu one after another. They were at the end of their battle and failed to continue to win. Therefore, the plan to block the rebels' retreat failed. .

Even so, the threat to the rebel army's rear had shaken the rebel army's morale. The rebel army could not fight this battle, and Han Sui and Bian Zhang chose to withdraw their troops by coincidence.

But Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen were unwilling to let them go when they saw that the rebel army was shaken. die here.

When the battle was getting dark, suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain fell from the sky. The pouring rain made the battlefield muddy and slippery.

Although Liu Bei still wants to continue to launch a second attack and fight the rebels in the rain, the reality is that neither the rebels nor the Han army can continue to fight.

The sky soon became so dark that it was impossible to distinguish between the enemy and ourselves, and it was meaningless to continue fighting. Zhang Wen was also very unwilling, but he had no choice but to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and watched the rebels leave the battlefield and flee in a panic.

Although this battle failed to achieve a complete victory at the last moment due to side effects, it is still an indisputable fact that the Han army defeated the Liangzhou rebels in a frontal battle.

The generals of each army have made meritorious service, among which Liu Bei and Liu Bei's subordinate Guan Yu made the most contributions.

No matter from the perspective of selfishness or justice, Zhang Wen ranked Liu Bei as the first contributor to this Meiyang victory, and he was unanimously recognized by the generals of the army.

Important generals, including Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen, all agreed that Liu Bei deserved the first victory.

The son of a thousand golds personally committed danger, took the lead in killing the enemy with blood, beheaded an enemy general in the army, cut down two flags, and led the army to defeat two enemy armies in a row, creating a great opportunity for the main force to defeat the main force of the Liangzhou rebel army. , and then almost cut off the retreat of the rebels to do their best.

The number of soldiers under Liu Bei who beheaded the rebels exceeded two thousand, and the number of enemies killed was several times that.

Liu Bei's subordinate Guan Yu Guan Yunchang was also unparalleled in bravery, and achieved one of the two greatest military exploits in this great victory. On the battlefield, he assassinated the enemy general Li Wenhou in the middle of the army.

They have all made great contributions.

After this battle, no one would choose to doubt Liu Bei's bravery and courage. No matter how arrogant the generals were, they all respected Liu Bei and admired his bravery and courage.

Guan Yu also fulfilled his promise. He happily held Li Wenhou's head and placed it in front of Liu Bei, his face full of anticipation.

He was expecting Liu Bei to praise him.

Liu Bei suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, laughed and stepped forward to hug Guan Yu fiercely.

"Yun Chang is brave, today I have seen it, the enemy will be killed in a thousand armies, the ancient and modern warriors, what is better than Yun Chang?"

Guan Yu enjoyed Liu Bei's hug very much, and it also made the subordinates who looked around envy him.

Especially Zhang Fei, his eyes were red with envy.

He said in a loud voice on the spot that he had also killed a lot of thieves and generals, but they were not as high-level. Next time he would kill a high-level thieves and generals, poke a dozen or so transparent holes in his whole body, and then cut them off. The head was dedicated to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei laughed, patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, and encouraged him.

But the hug Zhang Fei longed for was gone.

Hugs from big bosses don't just happen casually.

Liu Xuande, the most warm man in the big man, said so.
