Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41
The soldiers in the camp of the Han army were also very confused when they heard the sound of the arrows. They couldn't figure out what was going on. Could it be that there were reinforcements on their side? Didn't the generals mention it?

Just when the soldiers of the Han army were confused, the offensive of the Xianbei army suddenly eased, and the soldiers of the Han army who were in charge of defending the camp were also relieved.

Suddenly, a few messengers ran out from the large tent of the Chinese army and shouted, "The reinforcements have arrived, and Xianbei will be defeated at this very moment."

The soldiers of the Han army cheered when they heard this. Although most of the servants didn't know what was going on, they also found that it shouldn't be a bad thing, so they also cheered.

Yan Liang, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other generals all walked out of the big tent and called all the cavalry to gather.

Zhang Fei's heavy cavalry has been resting all the time. Except for the wounded and unable to move, there are still [-] heavy cavalry who can continue to fight. After the heavy cavalry assembled, they slowly pushed towards the gate of the camp. A place of hundreds of paces.

Tan Shihuai threw Helian down after shouting, and immediately summoned his most elite [-] cavalrymen. Now he suddenly realized that he had been tricked, and then thought of the fight with Gongsun Xu in the past few months.

He knew that the Han army must have brought reinforcements, and the reason why he has been spending time with him here is just to gain time.

"What a deep scheming." This is the only thought in Tan Shihuai's mind now, and it is also the only evaluation of Gongsun Xu.

Seeing that his father was about to withdraw his troops, He Lian immediately hugged his father and cried, "Father Khan, the camp of the Han army is about to be breached. We can't fall by the wayside."

"Idiot, why don't I understand what you're saying, but haven't you realized that although the camp of the Han army has always been in danger, it will never be broken? We have all been fooled, and Gongsun Xu is too ruthless. He wants to kill us all at once." eat them all.

Quickly gather the soldiers of your own tribe, withdraw as many as you can, don't worry about the big camp, most of them have already been captured, let's go back directly.Can't wait any longer, let's go. "

After Tan Shihuai finished speaking to Helian, he immediately got on his horse and commanded the soldiers. After receiving the order, Amuri summoned the most elite [-] tribal cavalry in the shortest time.

It has to be said that the military literacy of these 3 people is very high. Even if something happened suddenly, these 3 people did not panic, and formed formations under the leadership of their respective officers.

Especially the last [-] soldiers under Tan Shihuai, they have enough confidence, they believe that as long as Tan Shihuai is there, victory will definitely belong to them, this is Tan Shihuai's personal prestige, the god of the grassland, Let how many prairie men worship.

Most of the Xianbei soldiers approached their respective leaders with chaotic steps. Many of them didn't know what was going on, and why they were about to retreat suddenly after fighting well.

Next, the shaking earth told them why it was me. The first person who appeared in the Xianbei army's line of sight was a general of the Han army, wearing a white robe and silver armor, holding a silver spear, and Zhao Yun, who was riding a white dragon horse with no trace of snow on his crotch. ran ahead.

When he was a thousand steps away from the Xianbei army, Zhao Yun stopped, waved his spear in his hand, and thousands of cavalry appeared behind him. These thousands of people were all dressed as light cavalry, and each of them held a long spear and carried a long bow.

After these thousands of Han troops stopped, the Xianbei soldiers felt that the ground was still shaking, and it was getting more and more violent. This only shows one thing, the Han army still has reinforcements, and there are a lot of them.

As the sound of horseshoes became louder, Zhao Yun suddenly waved his hand, and the thousands of light cavalry behind him split into two groups and moved on both sides of the North Korean army formation.

Tan Shihuai knew that he could not drag on any longer. Now the initiative on the battlefield was in Gongsun Xu's hands. Although he left 1 people to continue attacking the Han army camp, as long as Gongsun Xu wanted to attack, these 1 people would definitely persist Not a quarter of an hour.

Tan Shihuai saw that some tribal leaders were already standing in front of the formation with their soldiers, and secretly shouted cruelly: "Prairie boys, today, let us defeat the Han dog under the witness of Changshengtian, Jin Silver treasures, cattle, sheep, horses, and beautiful women, as long as you can defeat the Han dogs, I guarantee that each of you will be rewarded generously, sons, rush and kill."

Encouraged by Tan Shihuai, the morale of the Xianbei army increased greatly, and the [-] Xianbei army in front began to whip their horses and charge forward.

However, just when they were about to use their bravery to gain military exploits, a black cloud appeared in front of them.

It is the heavy armored cavalry of the Han army. There are about 2 people in a rough calculation. The 2 people form a conical formation. Thick battle armor, except for a pair of eyes exposed outside.

These two people are Wen Chou and Xu Huang.

When the distance between the two armies was less than [-] steps, the Han army began to speed up. The galloping horses were already terrifying enough, but the [-] horses wearing this thick and heavy armor were definitely more powerful when they ran.

Tan Shihuai was even more panicked when he saw that such heavy cavalry blocked his retreat. Two hours ago, the thousands of heavy cavalry in the Han army camp were able to go straight among his 10,000+ army.

Wouldn't the 10,000 people in front of me flatten my [-]+ people?

Tan Shihuai no longer hesitated, just after the soldiers in front fought with the Han army.

He deliberately arranged his soldiers on both sides of the formation, and the Xianbei army did not withstand the attack of the Han army.

Within a quarter of an hour of the battle, tens of thousands of Xianbei troops and their horses had turned into mud on the grassland.

The formation of the Xianbei army has begun to become chaotic.

The Han army in the Han army camp was not idle either. Gongsun Xu immediately ordered an attack after seeing Wen Chou and Xu Huang fighting each other. The gate of the Han army camp opened wide, and Zhang Fei's [-] heavy cavalry rushed out first. .

The [-] Xianbei army who were regarded as abandoned sons could no longer hold on, and they all collapsed within a moment of fighting.

The Han army camp sent another [-] cavalry to follow the pace of the heavy cavalry and kill them.

Tan Shihuai wanted to send soldiers to resist after hearing the shouts of killing from the Han army camp, but after seeing the heavy cavalry of the Han army in front of him had defeated his forward, he knew that if he was still dragged here, he would be afraid. I can't go anymore.

Tan Shihuai decisively ordered to scatter to break through. He led his 1 elite cavalry to break out to the south, and Amuri led [-] people to break through Tan Shihuai's rear.

After all, the Xianbei army was defeated.

Heavy cavalry is the king of battle, but if you want to compete with light cavalry for speed and endurance, it is far from enough.

Wen Chou and Xu Huang saw that the formation of the Xianbei army was in chaos. The two keenly seized the opportunity, changed the formation, and surrounded the [-] Xianbei army that had not had time to escape.

The 3 people killed in the Han army camp thought there would be a fierce battle, but they didn't expect to be defeated so quickly.

It was originally a decisive battle between the two sides, but now it has become one side fleeing and the other chasing and killing.

Although there were many Xianbei soldiers who had no time to escape or were fierce enough to stay and fight with the Han army, blocking the pace of the Han army, the brave and skilled soldiers of the Han army did not delay for too long. Take the battalion as a unit to chase and kill the fleeing Xianbei army.

Gongsun Xu summoned several leaders of the servant army, including Murong Tiexiong who performed well in the morning match.

Gongsun Xu stared into their eyes and said slowly: "I don't think there is an easier task than chasing down the remnants of the enemy. I don't want what happened in the morning to happen again. If there are still deserters, I will not be relentless."

All the leaders were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to shout. Gongsun Xu waved his hand, and the 1 servants also rode horses and took weapons to compete for their own military exploits.

Now there is no suspense in this battle. Tan Shihuai was defeated, and Gongsun Xu would not give the enemy a chance to breathe. Except for Gao Shun and Xu Rong who led 2 people to stay in the camp, the rest of the soldiers rode horses Chase and kill the remnant enemy.

Gongsun Xu took Huang Xu Dianman and five hundred soldiers and chased them out with the equipment of one man and three cavalry.

There are scenes of fighting everywhere on the grassland. The 1 people left behind by Tan Shihuai have been wiped out, and even the leading general Amuri has died in battle.

Tan Shihuai originally had 2 people under his command, but all those who broke through the encirclement of the Han army were dispersed. After breaking out of the encirclement, there were only 7000 people left who could follow him, and almost everyone was injured. At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly followed up with 3000 people, and even released a few loud arrows into the sky.

On the one hand, Zhao Yun did not block Tan Shihuai's escape path, and on the other hand, he did not confront Tan Shihuai and charged.

He just followed Tan Shihuai at a distance of [-] steps and shot cold arrows. The average bow and arrow range of the Han army was about [-] steps, while the best bow and arrow of the Xianbei army was less than [-] steps.

In addition, it is quite difficult to shoot back on the horse, and the Xianbei army has been chased and beaten like this.

In less than a moment, the Xianbei army lost thousands of people.Those who fell off their horses and survived were beheaded by the chasing Han army.

Tan Shihuai knew that if this went on, he would definitely not be able to leave, so Zhao Yun followed from a distance like this, laying his hands behind him, and releasing several loud arrows one after another, he must be calling the nearby Han army to encircle and suppress him.

Tan Shihuai was cruel, leaving 5000 people to block Zhao Yun, and left with 1000 people. These 5000 people were all Tan Shihuai's personal soldiers, and Tan Shihuai told them to die and they would not be vague.

Therefore, even though they knew that Tan Shihuai kept them only to gain time to escape, they didn't complain, but rushed towards the Han army fiercely.

Zhao Yun didn't expect that this group of Xianbei soldiers who were regarded as abandoned sons would be so vicious. Although the great achievement was in front of him, Zhao Yun didn't want to waste the lives of his soldiers in vain.

So Zhao Yun led his subordinates to run in the opposite direction. Many Han troops fought against the Xianbei army using the tactics of turning around and shooting back.

In this way, Zhao Yun slowly exhausted the 5000 people, taking advantage of the distance and the range of the bow and arrow, Zhao Yun and his subordinates exhausted the 5000 people layer by layer.

Tan Shihuai thought that he would be able to escape if he got rid of Zhao Yun's pursuit, but he didn't want to kill two cavalry of about 500 people one after another on the way. They also adopted Zhao Yun's same tactics to follow Tan Shihuai.

Tan Shihuai left another 700 people behind and finally got rid of the pursuit of the Han army.

After running wildly for three hours, Tan Shihuai had already run out of the control of the Han army. The remaining [-] Xianbei soldiers were already exhausted, and their horses were also foaming from fatigue. I can bear it, even a war horse can't bear it.

Tan Shihuai ordered everyone to get off their horses and rest after sending out the riders. It was already dark, and the Han army would definitely not catch up. Moreover, even if the Han army won a big victory during the day, after the big victory, there are still a lot of messes waiting to be solved .

Tan Shihuai felt that as long as he had a good rest at dawn tomorrow, he would definitely be able to return to the tribe. Although the loss was heavy this time, only 5 Xianbei troops were actually killed, and the rest were either dispersed or surrendered.

Tan Shihuai believes that as long as he can return to the tribe, he will definitely be able to integrate other tribes in a short time.

All night was safe and sound, but Tan Shihuai ordered to eat something and retreat immediately at dawn during the day. There were still 300 people around him, their morale was low, and they could no longer stand the toss.

Less than half an hour after he was on the road again, news came from the rangers behind that there were Han troops infested. Tan Shihuai secretly scolded why the Han troops were chasing him so closely, while waving his horsewhip.

This is not the time to reserve horsepower. As long as you persist for another day, you can reach the safe range. You can go as slowly as you want, but now you must speed up.

Running, Tan Shihuai and his party came to a valley, which was the only way to go back to the tribe. Looking at the valley, Tan Shihuai couldn't help but think of the scene where 20 troops marched against Gongsun Xu. The 20 troops came out of this valley.

He Lian felt the loss in his father's heart, and immediately approached Tan Shihuai to comfort him: "Father Khan, don't be sad, as long as we return to the tribe, we can make a comeback. Father Khan is the God of the Grassland, this setback is nothing. "

Hearing this, Tan Shihuai looked up at He Lian and sighed, "It's a pity, I'm old, otherwise, I will seek revenge from Gongsun Xu. Let's go." After saying that, he led his army to the valley.

Just when Tan Shihuai and others entered the valley, a majestic and tragic song came. Hearing this sound, Tan Shihuai knew that he had been fooled again, but Tan Shihuai did not panic, the valley had come in, if the other party wanted to It's time to kill yourself.

Tan Shihuai waved his horsewhip, and walked slowly towards the mouth of the valley. The three hundred cavalry behind him did not panic, and followed Tan Shihuai closely, following their beliefs.

On a small hillside at the mouth of the valley, Gongsun Xu sat on a saddle and played the erhu. The tragic tune was transmitted to Tanshihuai's ears. Tanshihuai stopped and closed his eyes to enjoy the tune quietly.

This is a song that Tan Shihuai has never heard before. It is majestic, tragic, and desolate, but it perfectly describes his current mood.

After finishing a song, Gongsun Xu stood up and cupped his hands to Tan Shihuai and said, "King Tan Shihuai, the young general has been waiting for a long time."

Tan Shihuai opened his eyes, and said slowly: "General Gongsun is really a hero, and I, Tan Shihuai, won't be wronged if I lose to you."

Tan Shihuai felt helpless in his heart, all his actions were calculated by the other party, and even the escape route was calculated by the other party, so he had nothing to complain about.

"If you don't continue, prepare some thin wine here, and hope that the king will reward you."

"Thank you, General." After speaking, Tan Shihuai dismounted and prepared to go.

He Lian immediately stopped Tan Shihuai and said, "Father Khan, don't go there, this must be a trap."

Tan Shihuai looked at his son, smiled and said, "Is there any other choice? Gongsun Xu must stay behind in doing things, fate tricks people, let me Tan Shihuai meet such a nemesis in my later years."

Gongsun Xu put down the erhu, picked up the jug and filled Tan Shihuai with wine, then picked up the wine glass and said to Tan Shihuai: "I respect the king." Tan Shihuai did not delay, and after drinking a glass of wine, he praised: "Good Wine, I never thought there would be such strong wine at this time, it is really a man's wine, bring me another glass."

Gongsun Xu was not angry, and poured Tanshihuai again. After drinking five cups, Tanshihuai suddenly stopped and asked, "May I ask the name of the song that the general played just now? I haven't heard such a song after living for so long. A tragic song."

Gongsun Xu put down the jug and picked up the erhu and said: "This song is sung by the lonely star alone. It is played for the king."

After speaking, he continued to play.Tan Shihuai closed his eyes, listened to the music, and poured himself a drink, as if he was enjoying the last tranquility of his life.

Yamashita and Lian couldn't help but wanted to rush forward to save their father, but they were stopped by Huang Xu and Dianman together, and Huang Xu picked him off after less than [-] rounds of fighting.

Huang Xu glared at He Lian and shouted: "Go away, my general is kind, let you live."

He Lian knew that his father would definitely not be able to leave. Although he still didn't understand why Gongsun Xu let him go, who wouldn't want to survive.

He Lian also knew that his father didn't want to leave, so He Lian knelt down facing Tan Shihuai's position and kowtowed a few times before leading his men away.Tan Shihuai on the mountain still had his eyes closed, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
