Chapter 377: Zhao Zilong's Seven Enters and Seven Exits (1)
"Lord, Zhao Yun is here to kill him."
"Um."
Sun Quan pretended to be calm on the surface, picked up a bag of wine with his other hand and drank it gently to suppress his already pounding heart.
But he said mockingly: "General Zhengnan, haha, but a reckless man who is brave but not wise."
"What the lord said is, no matter how fierce Zhao Yun is, what can he do? He has fallen into your plan."
"It's not too late to capture Zhao Yun alive with such flattery. Let's put the flag on it. Today I will serve as the supervisor team and retreat and kill!"
After saying that, Sun Quan raised his own banner and led a total of 3,000 of the most elite guards. He called the tiger soldiers in the chariot to supervise the battle at the end, forcing these former Chen Wu's former troops to fight.
Sun Quan is indeed not a good match. I guessed that Zhao Yun would definitely take advantage of the opportunity of replacing generals in this camp and attacking him with unstable morale.
His abacus was very good. You should know that the combat effectiveness of Chen Wu's troops itself is not bad. These people once followed Sun Ce to fight north and north, and even when they broke Lujiang, Chen Wu's troops still arrived first.
It may not be that I can't beat it, I just don't want to fight it.
Now that I have myself in the back to supervise the formation, it is still not a big problem to protect the formation. When Zhao Yun saw his own banner, he must be rushing to the formation. Since he wanted to rush to the formation, even if he couldn't stop it, he would definitely be thwarted.
If he really breaks the formation, he will naturally be able to fight and retreat. In fact, the cavalry is fiercely attacking those already chaotic formations, and the tiger soldiers under his car are still trustworthy.
Most of these elite soldiers were strictly selected from the army, and most of the generals were promoted by him to the underworld, or to the small and medium-sized wealthy families in Jiangnan, and handed over to his most trusted confidant Pan Zhang, who was absolutely trustworthy.
In this way, Sun Quan used himself as bait and could slowly retreat if necessary. Within half an hour, the formation of ambush on ten sides would be able to achieve great success, and Zhao Yun would definitely be dead but not alive.
"Wen Gui, all the generals in the army, I believe that you are more important than you. In this battle, you, my king and my minister have been betting on life and death. I hope you will never let you down."
As he said that, Sun Quan grabbed Pan Zhang's hand and said, "Zhao Yun also carries one head with two shoulders, nothing scary."
"Don't worry, lord, if Zhao Yun can rush here to fight me, I will take his head and send it to the lord."
"Hahaha, I like Wen Gui, the crazy spirit that is not afraid of the sky or the earth, but Zhao Yun is very human, so you must not be careless and underestimate the enemy. Look, Zhao Yun is attacking! Hurry up, the commander team, go ahead, there is advance but not retreat, block him, block it! Block... Wen Gui, has Zhao Yun turned the corner?"
Pan Zhang also looked carefully for a while before he said in a daze: "Yes, he turned to the west."
Seeing this, Sun Quan's face looked extremely ugly.
It’s not good for infantry to fight cavalry, it’s too passive.
In fact, when Zhao Yun saw Sun Quan erecting the flag of commander, he was really confused and almost ignored the whole army and charged forward.
However, after a little change of mind, he had already guessed Sun Quan's arrangement and expected that there would be a pocket array in front of him to ambush him.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yun decided to avoid the edge.
To the west of the camp is the headquarters led by veterans Cheng Pu and Han Dangzheng, which is moving quickly to the east as planned, and plans to complete the encirclement of Zhao Yun and cut off Zhao Yun's return.
Seeing that the noise ahead was clearly fighting, Cheng Pu suddenly called Han Dang over and ordered: "Volunteer, I have a premonition that this battle will be decided today. Only the two of us are from Youzhou, and we have always had the best relationship. If the battle is not good, Zhao Yun will break through to you and me. Remember to watch and help each other and preserve our strength."
"Save strength?"
"I mean, you might as well bring your and my personal guards into one place. No matter what happens, we should not separate from each other. In this way, with the shield and gun array formed by more than 2,000 personal guards, Zhao Yun will definitely not be able to escape."
But Han Dang frowned when he heard this.
"Demou's words are really puzzling. Now the lord still trusts you and me, so he handed over all the soldiers to our commanders, and then he drew elite troops from the army to fill our troops. Naturally, they should disperse and command and command. If these elite troops are grouped into a pile, and you and I are not separated, how should we command this battle?"
Cheng Pu smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Your and I are different from others. We are all from Youzhou. When we suppressed the Yellow Turbans, we followed him all the way until today. Now we can see how the little lord controls his subordinates. Although you are of high seniority and old qualifications, you still have no foundation in Jiangdong. In terms of closeness, we cannot compare to Zhu Zhi and Wu Jing. In terms of factions, we cannot compare to those Huai and Si factions united together. I am afraid that only by mutual support can we gain a foothold. If you and I have all the private soldiers in this battle, will anyone listen to the two old people in the future?"
"But according to your arrangement, it will be difficult for our rear army to siege Zhao Yun, or if Li Shu in the city sends troops to rescue him, he may not be able to hold on for long. Is Demou so unconfident in this battle?"
"Yi Gong is also a long-time general. Do you think our chances of winning are high?"
Han Dang sighed after hearing this: "It's certainly impossible to say that it's very high, but... after all, our army is actually not weak in combat power, and it can even be said to be quite powerful, with a total of 100,000 in number. Zhao Yun was arrogant and did not recruit all the troops in Jiangbei and Xuzhou. Since he has already sieged him, there is naturally a battle to fight."
Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "The accounts are not settled like this. You say that our army is quite strong, which is true. After all, the foundation left by the old lord and the eldest lord is still solid. However, not to mention that the army has many factions and conflicts, not to mention that the morale in the army is now low and almost collapsed. I ask you, what can we do if we kill Zhao Yun in this battle? Our 100,000 army consumes countless food, grass and supplies. When we arrive at the city of Hefei, will we kill one of Zhao Yun?"
Han Dang was stunned, but couldn't help but become depressed again.
"Hefei is strong and urgent. Even if Zhao Yun dies, Li Shu is still standing in the city. As the autumn harvest is approaching, Hefei City has never summoned troops and did not see Jing and Xu reinforcements. Is it because the court has no soldiers to send? What's the use of killing only one Zhao Yun, except to make our lord look better in terms of face?"
"Ninety-one or nine out of ten are going to retreat in shame? It's just that we have completely broken with the court and there is no room for ease. We have missed the autumn harvest this year. Not to mention military supplies next year, I'm afraid there will be a famine in the country, but it's not impossible."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Han Dang seriously: "If Zhao Yun was really trapped in the formation and broke through and died, maybe he would really die at the hands of both of us. Is this a good thing for you and me? Not to mention that you and I have family members and fellow villagers in Youzhou, that is the territory of the court. What can the lord reward us two old guys? In the future, the court will take revenge and beat you and me first!"
"Besides, we don't know that Zhao Yun is brave enough. The elite of the imperial guards are the best in the world. If you really want to kill him, how difficult is it? Li Shu is not a pampered bag. In such a decisive battle, I am afraid that the hope of killing Zhao Yun is slim. So, please keep your strength."
When Han Dang heard this, he was silent, but suddenly there was a stir in the front military, and there was already a reversal.
Cheng Pu was shocked: "No, Zhao Yun turned around and came to us! Hurry up! Stop and form a formation!"
This was not quite unexpected. Han Dang and Cheng Pu's army were moving. Although they maintained a certain formation, they were slightly scattered and had no time to stabilize the formation. Zhao Yun led the elite cavalrymen to shoot a round of arrows, which made the originally scattered formation become extremely chaotic.
"Yi Gong, quickly form a formation with me to fight against you and save your life."
Han Dang hesitated for a moment, but said, "The decisive battle is about to happen, even if it is a life-threatening situation, our warriors should fight to the death. How can we fight our lives to the enemy's hands?"
After saying that, Han Dang held a large shield in his left hand and a ring-headed knife in his right hand, and shouted: "Jiu Yun, like us, has two shoulders and one head. If he can kill this person in the military formation, our army will win this battle. Follow me to block him! After winning, he will be rewarded with three thousand pieces of silk cloth!"
Then he took the lead and rushed forward, but formed a formation first to kill the defeated soldiers who were reversed by Zhao Yun's charge.
Behind him, Cheng Pu suddenly burst into tears when he saw this.
"General, are we... coming?"
"I..." Cheng Pu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and was about to say the word "up" but saw that there was already a shout of killing Zhentian in front of him. Zhao Yun had already rushed to Han Dang's approach, and the collapse of the front army could no longer be suppressed. The formation of Han Dang's formation became a little messy and retreated in a mess, so Cheng Pu's eyes widened.
"Is it so fast? Did the former army not even block it for a moment?"
With the mixed emotions of fear and anger, Cheng Pu immediately ordered the entire army to suppress it. Those who dared to retreat backed down and the rear army killed them. However, after the order was given, the Han army's cavalry advanced nearly a hundred steps forward in a arrow formation.
That's not all. The leader, white robe, white armor, white horse and white spear, relied on his horse's speed to leave his formation first and rushed to Han Dang's army alone.
Han Dang shouted: "Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!! Those who shoot Zhao Yun to death reward you with great reward!"
This shout exposed himself instead. Zhao Yun ignored the arrow Yuli shot from the sky, letting them shoot on his body, and rushed dozens of steps, almost sticking to Han Dang's military formation, then stopped and bent his bow and arrows as fast as lightning. With one arrow, he shot steadily into the formation, hitting Han Dang's right eye and pierced out from the back of his head.
Before everyone could react, the veteran who had followed Sun Jian to fight in the east and west, had not even had a last word and fell down in a frustration. The small round formation he had struggled to maintain was already under the brave charge of the Han army's imperial guards. In just a moment, he collapsed and scattered in a mess. After the horse's hooves passed, his body completely turned into a pool of bloody mud.
Seeing this, the morale of the Wu army, which was already low, was completely collapsed. The entire army quickly became defeated. Seeing this, Cheng Pu quickly changed his orders and asked his personal guards to protect him and slowly withdrew.
After rushing for a while, Zhao Yun laughed and shouted: "Turn, everyone comes with me!"
Then Zhao Yun's cavalry went in the opposite direction and did not pursue them too deeply. It could be regarded as a way to make these already scattered Wu troops feel like they have survived the disaster.
When Cheng Pu finally retracted the defeated troops, looking at the army that was already completely out of morale, he couldn't help but feel the heat from the corners of his eyes and tears came out. He staggered to the place where Han Dang died, but where could he find out which one was Han Dang from the broken limbs all over the ground?
I couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears: "Yi Gong! You... are so vain!!"
He cried so hard that his legs became weak, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy. He was unstable and fell to the ground. Before he could stand up, he suddenly heard the sound of shouting to kill from afar, which scared him to the point of being pale. He stood up and looked away, but Zhao Yun was already shouting and rushing to death.
"Stay! Form a formation! Form a formation quickly!"
However, no one was destined to listen to him. His troops with more than 10,000 troops faced less than 2,000 Zhao Yun's cavalry, immediately turned around and ran away. None of them dared to stop and stop Zhao Yun for a moment. Even Cheng Pu's own formation had to be dragged and retracted until the formation was gone.
But he didn't care about anything, so he had to run away with the army, which made Zhao Yun divide the group of soldiers into two almost effortlessly, but he still didn't fight back and forth to expand the results of the battle. Instead, he went straight to the west, not knowing who he was going to fight.
"General, what should we do now?"
"General, this... Zhao Yun will not come again."
"we……"
Cheng Pu was also confused. For many years of fighting, it was the first time that a junior general showed his face so neatly, which made him tremble everywhere.
But before he could think clearly, he saw a loud shout from Hefei City in the distance. The city gate that made them hate was slowly opening. Countless Han infantry soldiers lined up and began to line up slowly under the command of Li Shu.
The soldiers who were originally used to block Zhao Yun's retreat could see clearly.
"General...General."
The Han army was undoubtedly a big deal because the city gate was narrow and the soldiers who had just left the city were destined to have scattered formations. It would take a long time to give way to the infantry and adjust the formations. Especially now that the two armies are so close, they can see the movements in the city with their naked eyes.
Too arrogant, aren't you afraid of being attacked, take advantage of the situation to enter the city?
Cheng Pu was also furious and pulled out his sword and roared: "It's too much to deceive people! The soldiers, follow me and move towards the position of the central army."
Everyone looked confused.
Cheng Pu then shouted with all his strength: "Go and protect your lord!!!"
