Goose Three Kingdoms

Chapter 541: Breaking the Formation and Killing the General
Then Black Bear ordered the soldiers to clean up the camp and drag the killed Xianbei people to a pile outside the camp.

The heads were loaded onto carts; there was no shortage of beasts or tall vehicles in the Xianbei camp.

In some respects, the configuration of his current army is similar to that of the Xianbei people, with large herds of beasts and vehicles.

However, his chariot camp was centrally deployed, while the Xianbei people brought their own horses and vehicles.

Then he started to play tricks, commanding several low-level Taoist soldiers to pretend to wear iron armor and add to the iron cavalry.

The other cavalry also dismounted to rest. Everything was in such an orderly manner.

To the northwest, there is the Youzhou military camp.

On the earthen platform on the ridge, Xianyu Fu looked at the charging posture of dozens of cavalrymen and couldn't help falling into deep thought and reminiscing.

If they had followed Gongsun Zan at that time, with Youzhou's absolute cavalry advantage, they might have defeated Yuan Shao long ago, and the people of Youzhou would have had the final say north of the Yellow River.

But who could have imagined that the imperial court would be so weak and unable to withstand such turmoil.

Those who controlled the imperial court were good family men from the six counties. Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and their gang could all be considered to be from the Yulin clan.

They came from Liangzhou and Bingzhou. The military officers of the entire Han army's capital camp and the imperial guards could be said to be a group of people, as were the military officers of Liangzhou and Bingzhou.

For the border troops of Youzhou, being hostile to the imperial court means being hostile to Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and the Beijing camp.

Gongsun Zan detained angels, arbitrarily appointed officials, attacked and killed Liu Yu, and opposed the court everywhere... What's more hateful is that Gongsun Zan did not trust the powerful people in Youzhou very much, continued to suppress the sons of powerful people, and refused to listen to advice.

He also insisted that granting officials to heroes would not gain their gratitude, because the heroes believed that this was the official position they deserved because of their ability.

Gongsun Zan's three sworn brothers were a fortune teller, a cloth merchant, and a local businessman in Zhuo County. They were all common people and could barely be considered from humble families.

Compared with these three people, Liu Zhenbei, who sold straw sandals back then, could only be considered a second-tier backbone member, not a core member.

He regards these people as his right-hand men and women, so if he doesn't die, who will die?
The most crucial thing is that Gongsun Zan did not win the Battle of Jie Bridge. If he had won all the battles when he started his business like Da Sima, the folks in Youzhou would naturally be willing to endure some grievances. For a brighter future, it would be natural for them to serve Master Gongsun happily and comfortably.

As a result, after they raised troops together to follow Liu Yu in attacking Gongsun Zan, the two sides became irreconcilable.

The result was that Liu Yu died, and his son Liu He came to Youzhou for revenge. What was even more speechless was that the Chang'an court behind Liu He and his son was destroyed, the emperor ran away, and Li Jue was also destroyed.

So Liu He had to die later. If he didn't die, the Youzhou local gentry would not be able to swallow their humiliation.

Originally, there was an excellent opportunity in front of them, but they missed it.

Now it seems that the people of Guanlong seized the opportunity and captured the foreign Grand Marshal.

At this moment, Xianyu Fu felt very uncomfortable watching the enemy start to attack the second camp.

If Liu Yu had died of an inexplicable illness, he might have followed Gongsun Zan to establish the Kingdom of Yan, and he would have become a founding father and an important minister.

But this was just an illusion, because he knew very well that as a fellow villager, he really couldn't accept another fellow villager rising higher and higher.

Human psychology is so strange that people would rather give the opportunity to succeed to outsiders than to people around them.

Xian Yu Fu was watching the battle intently, and was distracted by his memories.

Zhang Fei also arrived at the battlefield. More than 500 cavalrymen emerged from behind a small garrison camp.

There was one man and three horses, walking along the river valley path. The mountain road was winding, and no one knew how many people and horses were following behind them.

As a result, the more than one hundred defenders of the small camp could only watch nervously, watching Zhang Fei pass through the small path down the slope.

At the same time, they lit the signal smoke, and only sent the messenger after all Zhang Fei's men had passed. As soon as the signal smoke rose, a military officer came to Xian Yu Fu's side and said, "Mingsir, there is signal smoke from the small camp to the west, indicating the enemy is coming."

Xian Yu Fu turned his head to look, and then looked at the vague outlines of the people and horses in the distance, squinting his eyes and staring for a moment: "This should be the people under Lord Xuande's command. I think it is Zhang Fei. This man has no friendship with his fellow villagers. Now he has betrayed Lord Xuande and should come to help the black thieves."

He turned his head to look to the side, where clan and township party representatives were standing. Xian Yu Fu's eyes fell on Xian Yu Yin: "Lead a thousand cavalrymen to kill Zhang Fei for me!"

"Here!"

Xian Yuyin responded generously, stepped out of the line and bowed, took a few steps back, took the helmet from his personal soldier and put it on, then jumped on his horse and led a dozen cavalrymen to go down the mountain by a detour. The flag officer on the mountain waved the flag, and the two cavalry camps waiting for battle mounted their horses under the urging of powerful military officials, and joined Xian Yuyin who was going down the mountain, and went straight to intercept and kill Zhang Fei.

Although Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei through numerous wars, big and small, and earned the reputation of being an enemy of ten thousand men, even the Xiahou family wanted to marry him to win him over.

But in Xian Yuyin's opinion, the wars that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei had fought for so many years were all bad battles. After fighting for a long time, didn't they still have to rely on the power of Guanzhong and return to Youzhou in disgrace with the tacit consent of Hebei?
It was because they could not stand on their own outside that they became the pawns of outsiders and became the vanguard force invading Youzhou and stationed in Youzhou.

Just as many Youzhou tyrants had discussed, this time the black bear from Guanzhong was indeed lured here, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was like opening the door to thieves.

The dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart, as well as the contempt for Zhang Fei, made Xian Yuyin burn with a strong fighting spirit.

He also knew that Zhang Fei's sudden appearance must have required him to have suffered a lot during this period, sleeping in the open air.

Now is a good opportunity to kick the shit out of you!
The soldiers in Guanzhong are not easy to defeat, but it is easy to defeat this group of stray dogs!
We are all located in the same mountain valley plain. To the east of this valley is a large area of ​​wetlands and lakes. Currently, a large amount of flood water has accumulated, and the wetlands have become lakes for storing flood water.

Therefore, the only place where people can travel and fight is the western river valley, and the terrain is slightly higher in the west.

As soon as Zhang Fei appeared, he was basically noticed by all parties.

He also immediately sent out a dozen lightly armed knights riding fast horses and holding apricot yellow flags to approach the outer scouts of the Guanzhong troops.

When his headquarters poured out of the small valley and mountain road and had not yet regrouped, Xian Yuyin had already rushed down the hillside to join the cavalry and reorganized the troops while attacking Zhang Fei. The cavalry deployed to both wings and quickly changed from a marching column to a large horizontal formation for attack.

The distance between them was only two or three miles, so there was barely enough time to completely change the formation during the march.

Zhang Fei had no time to organize his troops and could only blow the battle horn. At the sound of the horn, the entire army changed their horses.

Seeing that dozens of knights around him had changed horses, Zhang Fei immediately left the group and moved north with the battle flag.

As the battle flags moved, the knights who had changed their horses moved northward one after another, separating themselves from the chaotic herds of horses and people, and in the process of moving northward, they pulled their formation into a large column.

Then Zhang Fei slowed down, and the cavalry following behind him replenished the left and right wings respectively. When they were 200 steps apart from each other, they barely formed a large horizontal formation on the march, which was conducive to the attack.

In total, Zhang Fei moved about three hundred steps to the north. He had three hundred more steps, but Xian Yuyin had more than four hundred steps less. Without this distance, there would be a lack of space and time to change the formation.

When Xian Yuyin saw that Zhang Fei was charging in the opposite direction, he could only slow down his horse to buy time for the following cavalry to fill the front line and strengthen the two wings.

His slowdown undoubtedly gave Zhang Fei more time and space to change his formation.

Even if there are enough of them, it is still not enough to form a complete team or change the formation.

"idiot!"

Coincidentally, Xianyu Fu, Kebineng, Hei Xiong and Zhang Fei, who observed Xianyu Yin's slowdown, all made comments, but their moods were different.

When Zhang Fei noticed Xian Yuyin slowing down, he suddenly accelerated and charged forward with dozens of knights around him!
Xian Yuyin's slowdown caused the marching team to pause, and the smooth marching order suddenly came to a halt.

Without waiting for Xian Yuyin to yell, Zhang Fei took the lead and smashed the spear in his hand into Xian Yuyin's waist!
Xian Yuyin's powerful fighting spirit, which had been accumulated for two miles, was suddenly released.
