Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1268 How does a general qualify

Gao Gan violently swung his right hand. Behind the front rows of sword and shield fighters, there were several rows of archers. Following Gao Gan's order, the front row of sword shield fighters squatted down. The archers behind opened their strong bows and shot Feather arrows all over the sky!

  Arrows roared in the air, carrying a sharp wind, and rushed towards Zhang Xiu and the others!

Although Zhang Xiu and the others have armor, they are still light cavalry after all. The horses are not equipped with vests. They have speed but not enough protection. Under Gao Gan's covering shooting, although most of the arrows miss, But once shot, it will cause quite serious consequences.

  The most concentrated target of the arrows is Zhang Xiu who is in the front!

   Zhang Xiu, who was caught in the fire, felt as if his seventh sense erupted at this moment. He clamped the horse's belly suddenly.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and every soldier in the army formation, including senior officers, couldn't help but look up at this moment, looking at the horses soaring in the air, and the young general Zhengxi on the horse, watching His unfurled big gun with red tassels like blood leaped in mid-air, just like that, getting out of the way of those feathered arrows that deliberately aimed at him!

  Even Gao Gan's hand froze in mid-air...

   Can't shoot to death like this? !

  Where did General Zhengxi find these people? !

In order to enhance the lethality of bows and arrows, and also to have a surprise attack effect, Gao Gan's attack position was set up behind a forest on the side of the front of the camp, waiting for Yuan Yu and Zhang Xiu to enter the ambush circle, and also shortened the attack distance It's the shortest time, but I didn't expect that the most important first blow fell to nothing!

Strictly speaking, it is not a failure. There are still a few Zhengxi cavalry who don't know whether they are horses or riders. They were affected by the rain of arrows and knocked off their horses amidst the screams. However, the result was much worse than Gao Gan's original expectation. . Gao Ganyuan thought that after such a blow, he could at least catch the chasing cavalry from Zhengxi by surprise, killed the leading general, and then all the members counterattacked...

   "Rush! Speed ​​up!"

   Immediately, Zhang Xiu sensed that something was wrong, and shouted sharply, without hesitation for a moment, he led the cavalry behind him and crashed into Yuan Jun! Those soldiers who fell off their horses, those who could get up, also struggled to stand up, no matter whether they had weapons in their hands or not, they still limped to keep up!

   Seeing such a situation, Gao Gan's eyeballs almost fell out, this **** is not only an elite, he is simply a top-level soldier!

  A man will die ten thousand times on the battlefield, and the blood will not stop till the end!

   These are the ones in front of you!

After seeing Yuan Jun's ambush appearing on the flank, Zhang Xiu knew that he had been tricked, but it was impossible to turn around immediately, or turn around and run away. The body of the war horse weighing half a ton was extremely inertial, and it was impossible to just stop. Stop, just turn when you say turn, the only way out now is to deflect a little bit, change straight in to slant out, cut obliquely through Yuan Jun's formation and kill a **** road out!

  Every Bingzhou cavalryman realized the seriousness of the problem, and brandished their weapons desperately, slashing and killing Yuan Jun in front. Zhang Xiu rushed to the forefront, his big guns were unfurled, and blood was splashing! Even if the high-ranking officials led the ambush to outflank it from one side, Zhang Xiu couldn't control it anymore, and couldn't care about it!

  At this moment, there is only forward! forward! Kill a **** way!

   Only by following the direction of Yuan Jun’s surging crowd, there will be no traps, and there will be no tripping ropes. Although there are not many Yuan Jun soldiers in the space next to them, there must be other arrangements!

   Gao Gan couldn't help feeling a little dazed...

   Still rushing forward, isn't it that the means I originally arranged are useless?

  Damn it, even if it is a pile of people, you have to pile them up to death!

   Obviously, he did not expect Zhang Xiu to be so resolute. Under the violent impact, Gao Gan's interception formation was also a little loose. Facing Zhang Xiu's front, some people were scared back by the Zhengxi cavalry. It was messy and messy.

At this moment, Gao Gan shouted wildly, and then the guards around Gao Gan also shouted together. Even in the chaos, the shouting was loud: "Are all the men in Jizhou eggless! They were also swept away by us! What is this small number of people! Kill this guy! Reward a thousand gold! Upgrade to three levels!"

  Yuan Yu also turned around and walked back with the supervising team. When he encountered those who ran out of their heads and kept giving orders, he cut them down with a knife! After seeing the blood, Yuan Jun finally stabilized his position, and Zhang Xiu and others faced more and more resistance!

In most cases, as long as the leader is not afraid of death and rushes forward desperately, most of the ordinary soldiers behind will not shrink back and be timid. Seeing the senior cadre Yuan Yudu rushing forward in person, most of Yuan Jun is from Jizhou. With a roar, the blood in the flesh and blood was also stimulated!

Zhang Xiu flashed a shot, and the tip of the gun sank into the throat of a soldier of Yuan Jun, and blood sprayed from the trachea. Embroidered gun pattern! The barbed barb on Zhang Xiu's large spear pierced through the palm of this Yuan Jun soldier, and **** penetration came out!

  Even so, this Yuan Jun soldier still didn't let go, and with Zhang Xiu's strength, under his dying burst, he couldn't pull it out even after a single twitch!

  In this short moment, beside this Yuan Jun soldier, there were three or four Yuan Jun soldiers rushing towards Zhang Xiu, with long knives and spears directly passed over!

The saber in Zhang Xiu's left hand flashed coldly, and two human heads flew high along with the head of the spear, but the sabers of the other two soldiers slashed at Zhang Xiu's waist one after the other. The armor was cut off, and it was raised high, as if it was about to take off the armor and fly out!

If it weren't for the good defense of the sleeve armor equipped by Zhengxi, Zhang Xiu would be seriously injured even if he didn't die, but even so, the powerful impact made Zhang Xiu sway on the horse's back, almost falling off the horse, he shouted With a sound, he finally drew out his big gun and swept a circle fiercely. No matter whether it was touched by the gun head or the gun barrel, Yuan Jun's soldiers fell down one after another, and finally swept a small gap!

   Having a little free time, Zhang Xiu glanced at the battlefield and found that the cavalry he brought was gradually blocked and overwhelmed by more and more Yuan Jun. There were a few Bingzhou cavalrymen behind Zhang Xiu. Although they killed a few Yuan Jun, but beside the fallen Yuan Jun's corpse, there were more Yuan Jun's soldiers rushing regardless, causing the long-bladed ones to be thrown away. He took the weapon in his hand, jumped on it, and slammed into the side of the Bingzhou cavalry without hesitation, stretched out his hand to grab it, and pulled it down desperately!

  The senior cadres in Yuan Jun's formation also looked very dignified.

  The sight of Zhang Xiu leading these cavalrymen roaring towards his large formation is something he will never forget in his entire life. Are Bingzhou people born so brave, or are all under Zhengxi's command such warriors? If the soldiers who marched west were as brave as the cavalry in front of them, then the next battle would definitely be more difficult and dangerous than it is now!

  We must kill these people, we must destroy their confidence and morale, so that they will be like Gongsun Zan, who is afraid of hearing the reputation of Jizhou soldiers and Yuan Jiajun. Otherwise, even if there is Taihang Mountain blocking, Jizhou will not be safe

  At this moment, the high-ranking officials shouted again, almost at the top of their lungs: "Kill them all! I want to take off their heads and build a Jingguan! Let the people of Bingzhou know that no one can resist us!"

   Gao Gan's shout also came to Zhang Xiu's ears clearly. rush out! I can't stay here, I still have ambitions in my heart, and there are bigger and stronger enemies waiting for me, so how can I easily break here! I still have to wait until General Fei Qian of Zhengxi arrives to kill them back to the other side of Taihang Mountain!

   Can't stop, can't die!

  Zhang Xiumeng let out a fierce tiger roar, the sound was so loud that it overwhelmed the stern shouts of senior officials and all the noises on the battlefield, shaking the mountains and valleys!

Taking advantage of Yuan Jun's stunned moment, Zhang Xiu's long spear flew, and his sword swept across. Every stab and every slash was accompanied by blood spattering. These two weapons were like living things. Touch and go, being danced by Zhang Xiu like a soul, as long as it is every flicker, it will harvest the life of Yuan Jun who dares to approach him!

  I saw the figure of Zhang Xiu shuttling among Yuan Jun's soldiers, hacking with a spear and bayonet, almost no one could do it. The few remaining Bingzhou cavalry also followed Zhang Xiu to the first **** road, and rushed outward! Maybe it took a long time, maybe it was just a short moment, Yuan Jun, who was densely packed like a human wall in front of Zhang Xiu, suddenly disappeared, and finally got out!

At this moment, Zhang Xiu's men and horses have turned bright red, and it's hard to tell whether it's his blood or Yuan Jun's. The long knife in his left hand is only half left, and he doesn't know when it was cut off. .

  Zhang Xiu turned his head and stared at Gao Gan, then turned his head and took a last look. Before he could get out in time, those subordinates who were submerged in Yuan Jun gritted their teeth, turned their horses, and fled...

  ………………

  Departing from Pingyang, they finally arrived at Huguan. In the Feiqian queue, apart from the original Bingzhou wolf cavalry, there were also a large number of soldiers accompanying the army. Most of these military followers are powerful private soldiers from Taiyuan. They made up 500 people, and most of them are skilled in riding.

Although these private soldiers are a little loose at the moment, fortunately, Fei Qian will not ask these soldiers to go directly to battle for a while, and these soldiers are not bad at riding. They only need to train for about three months to half a year. Can become a more qualified cavalry.

  The soldiers who served in this service and the convoy of supplies meandering in the rear are the attitude of the nobles in Taiyuan. They used this to show their loyalty to Fei Qian. Of course, another aspect of the subtext was that Fei Qian could provoke the leader of the confrontation with Yuan.

It is best for the Kansai people to handle the territory of the Kansai gentry. Although Feiqian is not a perfect Kansai guy, after all, Feiqian made his fortune in Bingbei, and now he has taken Guanzhong and Hanzhong. Inseparable from Kansai.

The news of Yuan Jun's advance to the Shangdang also spread to Taiyuan. Although Yuan Shao did not lead the troops directly, it can also be regarded as a temptation by the Yuan family, just like a test player on Go. How to deal with it depends on Fei Qian. It's up to me.

In the earlier years, these gentry nobles in Taiyuan would definitely not have done such a "rebellious" act, but now after Yuan Kai's death, basically anyone who has a heart can see the ambitions of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, so for the two The older generation of gentry disciples are still dissatisfied with Yuan's behavior of leading the official position of a big man on the surface under the guise of many names, but actually doing things that corrupt the government. A strong momentum has emerged, so although the support for Zhengxi General Fei Qian cannot be said to be completely unreserved, it is quite in place.

  Of course, no matter when, what dynasty, creatures like local snakes are always indispensable, even in later generations, it may not be reduced much.

Fei Qian himself is also very clear, at present, it is nothing more than cooperation to benefit both, and division to lose both. When it can be used, it is natural to use it. If there is no benefit, it will immediately fall apart. The family is the first, don't look at the current performance Be respectful, if there is any sign of defeat, these family private soldiers who have followed behind and have not yet fully returned may immediately rebel and take their own heads to the Yuan family to ask for peace and credit.

  Since we are in this era, we must do the things of this era...

  When Feiqian arrived at Huguan, he was sitting on the top of the government office lobby, and Jia Qu was sitting next to him. The others, of course, were standing on both sides. In the hall, including Jia Qu, the two rows of generals and officials were silent, motionless and silent. The reason is very simple, Fei Qian has a sullen face, how dare other people talk and laugh openly?

   In the past, Fei Qian gave his subordinates the feeling that he was always relatively peaceful and calm, but it is rare to see him as unsmiling as today. In fact, Fei Qian has been in a high position for a long time now, and he has held the power of life and death in his hands for a long time, and he has cultivated some majesty as a commander. It's just that he can't feel this subtle change.

If Fei Qian was in high spirits, it would be no problem for everyone to have fun together, laughing and cursing, but now Fei Qian couldn't see any joy on his face, as the commander was like this, the generals and civil servants standing on both sides would naturally all be serious There is nothing to say about her face, she looks at her nose and mouth, and occasionally stares at Zhang Xiu who is prostrate on the ground in the hall.

  Zhang Xiu looks very embarrassed now, his battle armor is damaged, his helmet doesn't know where he fell, his hair is disheveled, and the blood on his body has long dried up, mixed with the mud and ash, showing a dark brown color, left and right everywhere.

  Originally, the vanguard led by Zhang Xiu only escaped with more than 50 people.

If we talk about the loss, it is actually not a big one. The more than 300 cavalry is a bit distressing to Fei Qian, who is now rich and powerful, but it is not unacceptable. The problem is that Zhang Xiu was defeated. Speaking of it, it was a contusion from a young age. Morale, in a big way, will affect the entire battle situation. It is difficult to build something, but easy to destroy it. Isn't Feiqian's current prestige in the Bingbei area accumulated through battle victories?

  Although the current battle situation has not yet reached the final moment, the failure caused by Zhang Xiu's greed and aggressiveness may make Yuan Jun feel that Fei Qian is nothing more than that, and everyone knows that persimmons should be picked softly. If Zhang Xiu wins, Gao Gan, who has been stabbed with blood, will naturally hesitate for a while, which will also help Fei Qian to start the follow-up negotiations, but now that Gao Gan has won a round, how can he easily give up the hope in front of him?

   "Lieutenant Zhang," after a long time, Fei Qian broke the silence and said, "Are you convicted?"

  Zhang Xiu kowtowed, her voice was hoarse, and she didn't explain anything to herself: "I'm guilty of a humble job."

"For a hundred miles, the general will be defeated, and for fifty miles, the army will be halfway..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Being greedy for merit, but not listening to Liang Dao's dissuasion, and losing troops and leaving the general behind, you are so bold. To see military law as nothing? Come, take it down..."

  At this time, although Fei Qian knew that Zhang Liao had brought soldiers and horses into the mountain, but the mountain road was rugged, and there was no mobile phone or GPS to locate it like later generations. Whether Zhang Liao could find Yuan Jun was still uncertain.

   "Wait a minute." Jia Qu took a step forward, cupped his hands towards Fei Qian and said, "The battle is approaching, and it would be ominous to kill the general first. You can allow Captain Zhang to take the crime and make meritorious deeds. If there is any mistake, he will be punished together."

  Jia Qu had been thinking about it all along, and finally stood up and said something nice to Zhang Xiu. After all, if Fei Qian really wanted to punish Zhang Xiu, even if he said all the good things, it might not have any effect, but if Fei Qian didn't really want to kill Zhang Xiu, then he could give Fei Qian a step, and How much can you sell Zhang Xiu for a huge favor.

  Jia Qu made his statement, and Linghu Cong also understood. He took a step forward from the ranks of civil servants, cupped his hands and worshiped: "Second by a lowly post, beheaded before the battle, it is a sign of great danger, I hope the lord think twice..."

  You are the hood of evil, and your whole family is hood of evil!

   Fei Qian muttered a few words in his heart, but he also knew that the word "big murder" doesn't have so many derivative meanings at the moment. Although it is said in the military law that "death and loss of many soldiers" is a serious crime, just like Li Guang and Gongsun Ao, etc. cannot avoid such crimes, but victory or defeat itself is a common matter in military affairs. Who else wants to take such a risk?

   Punishment is a must, but killing someone who makes a mistake is not a safe strategy.

Fei Qian looked at Jia Qu, nodded, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "Since Liang Dao pleads for mercy, I will leave this crime for now! If there is even the slightest mistake, I will definitely kill him!" Well, after all, Jia Qu is young and needs to establish prestige among these officials.

  Zhang Xiu hurriedly kowtowed, first thanked Fei Qian, then thanked Jia Qu, and then withdrew without mentioning it.

"Although we have lost our vanguard, our army has not been damaged. If Yuan's army doesn't make it, it's all right. If we dare to come, we will definitely let it go back!" Fei Qian said, "The order will be passed down, and the army will be repaired for a day, and the army will start tomorrow. , to face Yuan Jun!"
