Chapter 252 Zhang Fei’s surprise counterattack defense
Zhang Fei, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan chased westward for a day and finally caught up with Hu Chi'er's troops behind the Liangzhou Army Palace.

Hu Chi'er was escorting the residents and food and grass, and was leisurely enjoying the waiter of the female family members of the wealthy family. Suddenly, he heard Guo Si's men and horses approaching quickly behind him, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

He believed that Guo Si had been squeezed out by Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan and had not benefited from Dongdu, so he rushed after Dong Zhuo to ask for an explanation.

"Let the little ones keep an eye on the food and don't let anyone touch it!"

Seeing that Hu Chi'er was almost defenseless, Zhang Fei commanded three thousand fine cavalry to launch an assault on the headquarters of the Chinese army.

Starting at a hundred paces and launching a standard charge, Hu Chi'er noticed something was wrong through the telescope.

"The chicken is gone! Is Guo Bin really here? Be on alert, the whole army is on alert!!"

However, it took time to pass the order, but Zhang Fei played fast and slow, not giving his opponent a chance.

The iron hooves of the pursuers were right in front of them, and most of Hu Chi'er's troops didn't even have time to put on their armor and pick up weapons.

Hu Chi'er's total strength was five thousand, and they formed a long queue, which made it easier to guard the captured young women and grain.

Therefore, the three thousand elite cavalry selected by Zhang Fei neatly cut Hu Chi'er's queue into four or five sections.

Then they repeatedly charged into the formation and gradually strangled them. Hu Chi'er's 5000 men were in a state of confusion and did not even have a decent counterattack.

Hu Chi'er suddenly discovered that the ones rushing into the battle were actually Yueqi, a garrison soldier from the Northern Army.
In addition, there are not only Guo Si's capable men, but also Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan's mazai.

Damn it, the three families actually united with the Northern Army to rebel!Are you feeling brave?
But the defeat was overwhelming. Although Hu Chi'er had always been tough, he could not withstand the impact of four elite troops, and the troops were all scattered.

In desperation, he had no choice but to run away with more than a hundred personal guards.

Just wait, I'll call someone!
As soon as Hu Chi'er ran away, the leaderless troops either fled or surrendered, and the battle came to an abrupt end.

Zhang Fei took a general glance at the battlefield and saw that there were more than [-] residents intercepted, with countless grain, grass and property.

So an order was sent, and the more than [-] residents dispersed into six or seven groups and quickly returned to the eastern capital.

Four troops stayed behind to block the incoming main force of the Liangzhou Army.

"Fat Dong will probably send Li Que back, but Lao Cao, Lao Yuan and Lao Sun will arrive in less than a day. Everyone, let's wait here for a day and kill Li Que."

Duan Xuan said: "Can you ambush Lao Li?"

Guo Bang laughed and said, "Old Li is smarter than any ghost. It's not easy to trick him."

After taking a look at the grain trucks everywhere, Zhang Ji said: "However, we can use the money and goods, and maybe we can take a piece of meat from the pioneers."

These three people know all the characters in Liangzhou well, so the suggestions they put forward are quite feasible.

Zhang Fei believed in the tactical principle that it is better to cut off one of the enemy's ten fingers than to hurt him. He thought that it would be better to stimulate and like Li Gu first.

As a result, a large amount of wealth was thrown on the roadside, including silks, gold, silver, copper coins, and even drinks and food, all exposed to the sun.

After doing all this, Zhang Fei quietly waited for the arrival of the Liangzhou Army.

Sure enough, Li Que led [-] cavalry and hurried over on Dong Zhuo's order.

Five thousand vanguards rushed over the mountains and plains with great momentum.

"Go steadily and be prepared to counterattack."

Zhang Fei led everyone back slowly.

The more than [-] cavalry brought by Li Que were not his own troops, but a mixture of seven or eight troops.

These Liangzhou soldiers, who like to rob, relaxed their vigilance when they saw the enemy retreating. When they saw money and property somewhere, they immediately rushed to rob them, disrupting their formation.

There is gold and silver all over the ground, and if you don't pick it up, you won't pick it up. Isn't it just to make money as a soldier?
As for the Union Army and the traitors, whoever wants to pursue them should be pursued.

Zhang Fei's troops had not retreated far. Seeing the chaos in Li Que's vanguard formation, he immediately launched a counterattack.

The heavy cavalry was in the center, and the light cavalry on the left and right wings turned around and pounced in an arrow formation.

There is a saying in ancient Chinese military art that "a victorious battle cannot be restored", but the art of war is dead and people are alive. Therefore, this counterattack was a great success.

Zhang Fei captured nearly [-] cavalry at the cost of less than a thousand men, completely defeating Li Que's vanguard.Before the battle was over, Li Que had already arrived with his Pegasus, and a cavalry brigade of tens of thousands of people roared in.

Zhang Fei shouted at the top of his lungs: "Retreat, run!"

Li Que had strong troops and many tricks, and won Dong Zhuo's trust. Therefore, with high morale, he pointed at Zhang Fei's troops who were gathering to retreat and ordered: "Charge over and kill them!"

Zhang Fei's troops fought two battles in a row, and both men and horses were exhausted. At this time, he took advantage of your illness and killed you. He undoubtedly seized the opportunity.

Zhang Fei turned his head to look at the position of his pursuers while running eastward.

When Li Que's main force arrived at the place where the grain and wealth were scattered, there was no looting, but they pounced on Zhang Fei unswervingly.

Zhang Fei suddenly raised his left hand, and the whole army stopped immediately. The Shengshui camp lit rockets and fired freely at the grain cargo vehicles.

When Li Que saw clearly that the opponent was shooting rockets, the tragic scene on the hill next to Mengjin Ferry made him feel frightened.

While his main force was advancing under a hail of flaming arrows, a grain sack on a cart caught fire.

The next moment, the gunpowder powder sprinkled on the grain truck was ignited, and the fire suddenly expanded.

Then, more and more grain trucks were ignited, and the fire spread instantly.

A gust of north wind blew, and the fire spread to all directions. The scene was filled with smoke. A large number of Liangzhou Army soldiers were caught in the sea of ​​​​fire, which was very miserable.

The Han army was too cunning and despicable, and Li Que was furious after being plotted against him, but he had no other solution except to withdraw his troops and stabilize the situation.

Seeing that Li Que was hesitant and showing signs of retreating, Zhang Fei glanced at Guo Si and said, "Old Guo, go over and say hello and leave him behind."

Guo Si touched his chin and smiled evilly.

Li Que watched Guo Bang running towards him and urged his horse forward.

"Guo Duo, you are such a bitch that you are eating the rice in the bowl and smashing the pot. Is there any way to do this?"

"Old Li, calm down the fire." Guo Si said: "Old Dong has no future, can't you follow him all the way to the dark side?"

But Li Que couldn't listen, and shouted loudly: "Fart! Come out and be loyal, the old director will treat me well, at least I will die, and I will be a good man again in 18 years!"

Guo Bang nodded and said: "Okay, since you, Lao Li, have decided to be loyal to Fatty Dong to the death, I don't want to persuade you much. But there is a small matter that I want to discuss with you, okay?"

Li Que righteously refuted Guo Si's persuasion to surrender. He was so arrogant that when he heard that the other party wanted something from him, he said generously: "Say what you say."

"Well, we are brothers. After your death, you might as well leave all the dozens of sisters-in-law in your family to me to take care of them!"

Li Que's face froze and he stared at Guo Bang in disbelief.

Why the hell are you so mean?You dare to take advantage of my wife and concubine?
Guo Bang's men couldn't help but pointed at Li Que and laughed.

Guo Si, this wicked thing, even deliberately said: "If you don't bother me with anything, why don't you give me your daughters too!"

"Fuck you!"

Li Que's anger was like a volcano erupting. He immediately pointed the spear at the opponent and shouted: "I'll kill you!"

The general rushed into the formation, but his subordinates did not dare to retreat. They followed suit and surrounded Guo Bang.

When Guo Bang saw that the "Inciting General Technique" was taking effect, he immediately ran back. As he ran, he turned around and explained: "Hey, Lao Li, I have good intentions. Have you misunderstood?"

Li Que's teeth chattered as he led his army to stare at Guo Si in front.

This bitch is so damn cheap!
Zhang Fei did not expect that Guo Si's few words would arouse Li Que's anger, and he couldn't help but praise: "Old Guo really has a way! Send an order to the entire army to hold the line."

Whoa whoa whoa!
The four battalions of Tunqi, Yueqi, and Changshui were well established and set up defensive formations. On both sides were the surrendered Liangzhou soldiers, who were preparing their bows and arrows to face the impact of the Liangzhou army.

Eight thousand versus twenty thousand, Zhang Fei, who was on the defensive side, was not worried at all.

This time, let Li Que see what it means to be the emperor's own army!
