Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1038 It's not easy outside the battlefield

   Zhang Liao and Zhang Ji rode on two horses, and rushed to the front of the team, like two or two of the sharpest blades, killing the defeated Xianbei soldiers.

  The arrival of Zhang Ji suppressed the Xianbei people who had no morale and lost their temper at all.

  The Xianbei people mustered up their courage to make a desperate attack, but there was not much improvement, and they were quickly defeated by Zhang Ji and Zhang Liao. Although the Xianbei people got supplies, how could they compare with Zhang Ji's soldiers who had been trained for a while?

   Therefore, when the attack was fruitless, the Xianbei had to retreat.

The Xianbei people came aggressively, and after fighting hard for a long time, they had to return home. In such a situation, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu had no way to regain their strength and do some small tricks. Therefore, once the order to retreat was received, it was almost impossible. Competing to flee.

Zhang Liao's speed was slightly slower than Zhang Ji's, but he had already taken off his big step bow on the horse, stood up slightly, and mounted the carved feather arrow, sitting firmly on the galloping horse, stretching his bow As for shooting, there were four or five arrows in a blink of an eye, and the arrows roared, and even before Zhang Ji was caught, several Xianbei cavalry who were still thinking about turning around and shooting, dodged sideways one after another, and two of them had no time to dodge, and one was shot In the back, one person was shot in the shoulder, and immediately turned over and fell off the horse!

At this time, Zhang Ji had already yelled, and the leaping horse rushed straight into the fleeing queue of Xianbei people. The spear directly knocked over a Xianbei man, and then without waiting for the spear to be drawn, he drew out the saber on one side , the backhand will chop the past!

  Behind the two, the wolf cavalry of the Northern Han Army also showed their strength as elite cavalry at this time, roaring and cooperating with each other, some holding spears, some holding bows and arrows, chasing and shooting. The Xianbei people had no intention of fighting at all, they just ran away on horseback. If the mountain roads were not congested, these people would not be able to escape to the front. These Xianbei cavalry were unwilling to stand here and wait for the Han army to crash in...

The Han army cavalry had a high fighting spirit, and there were generals commanding the commander, while the Xianbei people cared about their own affairs and were chaotic. This time, they were knocked into the end of the team by the Han army cavalry, and there was a crowd of people shouting and neighing. I don’t know how many Xianbei people Knocked down under the horse!

  Zhang Jichong was at the forefront. When he was in the Xiliang frontier army, he took the lead. Many years later, this habit is still retained. As the sharpest tip of the cavalry, his spears and knives are flying, unstoppable. Long-term fighting and living on horseback made Zhang Ji's equestrian skills even better than those of ordinary Xianbei people who grew up on horseback. Watching Zhang Jichun use his legs to control the horse, jumping and dodging the horse in a narrow range, he not only dodged the counterattack of the Xianbei people, but even avoided the corpses of the enemy soldiers under the horse's feet. Like a swimming fish, he plunged into the queue of Xianbei people fiercely!

And Zhang Liao may be the reason why his physical strength has been consumed a lot these days. He did not rush to the front line like Zhang Ji, but followed in the middle of the cavalry array of the Han army. Although he did not fight directly, he had a long bow in his hand. However, it is more terrifying than any weapon. In the melee of hundreds of horsemen, Zhang Liao drew his bow and shot, and every arrow seemed to have eyes, and almost every arrow was fired.

A few Xianbei cavalry encouraged Yu Yong to defend against Zhang Ji's attack, but they were disrupted by Zhang Liao's few arrows. The remaining Xianbei people immediately had no desire to turn back and fight. They all shrank their heads and prayed As long as you can outrun other Xianbei people...

  Among the Xianbei array, the originally glamorous Baiyan banner is now turbid and dirty. Under the banner is the so-called Xianbei royal court warrior, Turur.

   At this time, Turuer's head was in chaos. Perhaps in these chaotic thoughts, there was still a bit of regret for Turkin that day.

On that day, Turkin persuaded Turur to advance lightly and seize the Dry Bones Pass first, but Turur thought that the Han people would not appear here at all, and there was no need to make a fuss, but now they are bumping heads at the Dry Bones Pass The blood was broken, and a lot of soldiers were damaged. If I go back, I don't know how I will be punished...

  How can the Han people be so strong?

   Not just strong, but tough...

  The Han general surnamed Zhang guarded the dry bone pass, like an iron wall, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get over it!

   Don't say anything else, just how many people died under this Han general surnamed Zhang in the past few days!

  No one is willing to fight against such an opponent, not even the warriors of the Xianbei royal court who have always claimed to be brave, especially when two or three of the royal court warriors died under this general surnamed Han...

In such a situation, even the warriors of the king's court, who have always been brave and resolute, can't help but sigh that the sky is not on their side. After fighting for so long on the Dry Bone Mountain Road, the corpses piled up like a mountain, and even the horses were almost disabled. , but got nothing. That young general surnamed Zhang is still alive and well, and the few confidant warriors he brought with him are also folded under the spear of that general surnamed Han.

   When the supplies from my family finally arrived, I thought I could finally get rid of this extremely brave Han general, and I also thought that I could take down the dry bone pass in one go and advance to the hinterland of Bingzhou, but I never thought that the Han army would also arrive for reinforcements!

  The sky is not as good as people wish, so what can we do!

   Run away, I can't fight anymore.

  Turul could only hang his head down, feeling that a resentment was stuck between his confidants, he was so aggrieved that he almost cried out, it's over, it's over...

   Zhang Liao watched the Xianbei people gradually recede, chased them for a while, and gradually reached the other port of the Dry Bone Mountain Road, so he called Zhang Ji to collect the soldiers and horses together, and gradually walked back.

At this time, Zhang Liao and the soldiers who had been stationed on the Dry Bone Mountain Road for a long time felt that waves of exhaustion surged up. The soldiers hurriedly supported him with admiration.

Just the wet and dry, dry and wet blood scum on this armor and battle robe, it's like crawling out of the **** hell, how can such a warrior not gain people's respect ?

  ………………

  True warriors have gone through blood and rain, and those who can survive are warriors, while those who fail to survive often become martyrs, and even martyrs may not be qualified. Thousands of miles away, Lu Bu in Jizhou, after walking off the battlefield happily, did not expect to usher in a murderous opportunity no less than on the battlefield.

  The Black Mountain Army really has almost nothing to do with Lu Bu's tactics. It's not that the combat effectiveness of the Montenegro Army is too low, it's just that Lu Bu's combat mode completely restrained the Montenegro Army.

Most of the Black Mountain Army is composed of yellow scarf veterans and some militiamen who have put down their hoes and sickles and picked up their swords and guns. Compared with the soldiers in the surrounding counties and counties of Jizhou, such troops actually have almost the same combat effectiveness, even when they really fight bravely. Where to go.

Anyway, most of the land in Jizhou is a plain. If the two sides fight, the infantry of the two sides will form an formation to fight against. Get it back, and no matter how excellent Jizhou's troops are, when the flanks are slowly surrounded by the Black Mountain Army, there are probably only a handful of them who can hold their breath.

   Therefore, the Black Mountain Army has never suffered too much in suppressing the soldiers of Jizhou counties and counties, but this time, when faced with Lu Bu's model, it was completely unable to adapt.

Relying on his tyrannical force, Lu Bu can fight wherever he wants. At the same time, as the commander-in-chief of super high force, no matter where he fights, the ordinary Montenegrin army can't hold it, and the army formation will be broken down in an instant. , and those Black Mountain troops who followed the old method and tried to make a detour to outflank, suddenly found that when they outflanked, only their own defeated soldiers were left in front of them, and Lu Bu was looking for another breakthrough point...

Therefore, the Montenegrin Army couldn't stop them, and they couldn't fight them. On the contrary, for Lu Bu, they fought as they wanted, and walked as they wanted, almost bringing the flexible cavalry tactics of the Hu people to the extreme. Under the circumstances, it would be difficult for the Black Mountain Army not to be defeated.

   Lu Bu's victory this time, is of great help to Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao heard the news, he was even more delighted. Not only did he give Lu Bu a lot of rewards, but even the high-ranking officials who led the army slowly behind him also got a share.

  However, such a victory is somewhat humiliating to the local lieutenants and generals in these counties and counties in Jizhou...

It's as if the Black Mountain Army is completely in two states. Before the Black Mountain Army suppressed these Jizhou gentry, it was hard enough. At that time, these people who commanded troops from prefectures, counties and counties, had previously screamed that the Black Mountain Army was huge and unrivaled, and then in a blink of an eye they were killed by a foreigner. The cavalry with some three melons and two dates was easily dismissed!

   This face inevitably feels a little painful.

   Among them, the person who feels the most pain in the face is naturally Ju Yi, not only the face pain, but also the heart.

Ju Yi is self-aware of his martial prowess, and he is brave in Hebei. After Baima Yicong who killed Gongsun Zan that day, he even considered himself the number one general under Yuan Shao's account. Apart from himself, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and others were also much worse than him. , let alone those high-ranking officials...

  So when Ju Yi left with his followers privately, although he was a little uneasy, he didn't take it seriously. After all, Yuan Shao couldn't do without himself when he was fighting fiercely with Gongsun Zan!

  The battle at Jieqiao made it clear that he was Gongsun Zan's nemesis. If Yuan Shao dared to move him, wouldn't he be demolishing himself, and then who would resist Gongsun Zan in the future?

  So Ju Yi is very bold.

   And now there is Lu Bu.

   Crackling beat up the Montenegrin army.

Ju Yi felt as if he had been beaten on himself, especially when he heard that Lu Bu received food, wine, labor and other materials in the surrounding counties. righteous heart.

   Yuan Shao wanted to replace himself with Lu Bu, which suddenly became a great possibility.

  Ju Yi knows his own affairs. Although he defeated Gongsun Zan, he can only be defeated, not destroyed! Gongsun Zan was mostly cavalry, and he ran away if he couldn't beat him, while Ju Yi himself carried a strong crossbowman with infantry, even if he wanted to pursue him, he couldn't catch up...

   Those who want to completely wipe out the cavalry, only the cavalry can do it. In this battle with Montenegro, Lu Bu's excellent cavalry control ability and combat effectiveness have been fully demonstrated!

   "...this dog... must be killed..." Ju Yi made up his mind. He and Lu Bu had never had any grudges, but now that Lu Bu stood in front of him, he couldn't blame him for being cruel...

  ………………

The Black Mountain Army couldn't bear Lu Bu's humiliation, so they retreated into the mountains with their defeated soldiers. Lu Bu's cavalry couldn't use it anymore, so they took their troops and horses and temporarily stationed them in a place outside the mountains called the Zhang Family Fortress. .

  The Zhang Family Fortress was originally a native of Jizhou. More than a dozen generations of people have lived here. They have continuously invested manpower and material resources in pruning, and built a family's fortress like a small town. There are not only thick stone walls of the dock, but also suspension bridges and ravines. There are even gate towers and turrets at the four corners. It can be said that it is a relatively large dock in this area. When they were looting, they didn't dare to attack the Zhang Family Fort easily.

   Today, the Zhang Family Fort is decorated with lanterns and festoons, one is to celebrate the retreat of the Black Mountain Army, and the other is to hold a banquet to entertain Lu Bu.

Originally, as the commander in chief of the army, Lu Bu should have personally patrolled every night, but firstly, these subordinates were also deployed by Yuan Shao, and they were not very familiar with them. On the other hand, three local gentry from Jizhou came to Zhangjiabao. Celebrities, together they found Lu Bu, they all said that they came here because of fame, and they boasted overwhelmingly to Lu Bu, and then when Lu Bu was happy, he forgot the task of patrolling...

The people in the Zhangjiabao were also very considerate, not only serving delicacies from mountains and seas like running water, but even arranged for Lv Bu's personal guards to have a drink in the side hall, and the three famous Jizhou scholars were flattering, making Lv Bu laugh out loud from time to time. Very happy.

Logically speaking, the gentry will inevitably look down on people who have not read many poems and books, and basically do not have much verbal communication, but I don’t know why tonight. He didn't despise Lu Bu for not studying at all. Instead, he tried his best to cater to Lu Bu by speaking as plainly as possible.

  The most exaggerated thing is that two of them argued with each other because of Lu Bu's meritorious service in the battle of the Black Mountain Army this time, and even nearly fought with their mouths spattering, and Lu Bu had to come forward to resolve it.

Originally, Lu Bu was also a gentleman who mostly hung book bags, which was very annoying, so he was just preparing to deal with it before going back to the army, but he didn't expect that these three Jizhou nobles would give him a feeling of spring breeze. Unknowingly, I have been drinking from the evening until late at night...
