Chapter 2001 The chips are scarce, and you are in vain
The leading hussars seemed to have noticed something strange, turned around on the horseback, and looked back at the position of the tripping rope under the mottled light and shadow, but the rest of the cavalry did not notice anything. The companion has already run to the front of the tripping rope.
The two horses that just rushed up had no time to react, and they were tripped to the ground. One of the knights on horseback bumped into a tree trunk, and seemed to be injured and couldn''t get up for a long time, while the other fell on the fallen leaves in the forest, and immediately followed the momentum and rolled on the ground. The saber did not leave his hand either.
The rest of the cavalry reined in their horses and shouted sharply: "Enemy attack!" alert! 』
A hussar cavalry leaned down and cut off the bridle rope with a single knife.
The other cavalry, some of them reined in their horses one after another. The horses neighed, and tried to stop their footsteps to form a frontal defensive line, while the cavalry on the side immediately turned their horses and rushed to the sides.
Zhang Yun looked at the hussars who were suddenly attacked, but they were still orderly and did not become flustered.
"superior! attack! attack! 』
Zhang Yun''s subordinates and Xianbei people who had been ambushing were revealed successively among the tree trunks and bushes, and then shot arrows while charging forward!
The bow and arrow are within fifty steps, even comparable to the pistols of later generations!
At such a short distance, although the hussars instinctively raised their shields and fired arrows with their weapons, several cavalrymen were shot on the spot and fell off their horses screaming, while the rest of the cavalry were Roaring, launched a counterattack.
Zhang He also charged forward, wielding his spear with both hands, deftly dodged the branch growing sideways, shouted loudly, knocked away a saber slashed by a hussar, and then stabbed the cavalry in the lower abdomen.
The sharp tip of the spear directly sank into the cavalry''s belly, and immediately pierced out from the back! With both arms, Zhang He picked up the corpse of this cavalryman and smashed it at another hussar.
With mental calculations and unintentional calculations, Zhang Xi was in charge, and there were not many hussars at the level of soldiers. Even with the advantage in armor, the difference in strength was too large, and most of them were killed soon. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the hussars walking on the flanks immediately withdrew and fled.
Zhang He didn''t dare to do more, because he knew that behind these small groups of hussars, there must be a large group of troops, and after encountering an attack, Zhao Yun''s main force would arrive here soon, so he immediately ordered people to take them with them. The uninjured horses quickly fled the woods.
Sure enough, not long after Zhang Yun and others left, Zhao Yun arrived with his people.
Zhao Yun frowned slightly.
This is the first resistance received after Bu Dugen died. The Xianbei people recovered their fighting spirit so quickly?
If this is true, this is not a good sign.
Sima Yi looked left and right, and said in a deep voice, "The arrow belongs to the Xianbei, but the commander of the army may not necessarily be Xianbei..."
Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at it again, a little stunned, then nodded, and said: "What Zhong Da said is true! 』
It''s very simple, if they were all Xianbei people, then there wouldn''t be full-armored corpses left here, and even the blood-stained battle robes would be stripped off, and even the seriously injured horses would be killed for their flesh. How could it just be left here and be left alone? Zhao Yun basically met Xianbei people before, so naturally he only thought of Xianbei at the beginning, and Sima Yi was thinking about Yuyang from the beginning to the end, so of course he was digging for clues about Yuyang all the time. The observation points of the two people are different, so there are naturally some differences at the beginning.
Now that it was determined that other people were involved, Zhao Yun and Sima Yi immediately changed their original plan and began to send out signals to gather the scattered soldiers and no longer give single-handed ambush opportunities.
『Tsk…』
Zhang He looked at the hussars who were slowly gathering, and couldn''t help curling his lips. Responding so fast? How can you react so quickly? Didn''t see any notice from the orderly, and didn''t hear the sound of horns or the sound of drums?
Zhang He frowned, staring closely at the hussar cavalry in a hidden place, and then followed the eyes of several of the cavalry to look at the top of a mountain, just in time to see some light shining on the top of the mountain...
This!
Shining and shining?
I see!
『You wait here, don’t show your figure! ” Zhang He ordered to his subordinates, “Wait for someone to come back before making any plans! After finishing speaking, he took some hands and began to climb up the mountain under the cover of bushes.
『Yo…』
Sima Yi received the information, smiled and unfolded the map, then found the location, gestured to Zhao Yun, and murmured, "Dizi No. 5...found it...probably near this mountain..."
The technology of polishing metal in the Han Dynasty was very mature, so it is not a problem to make some metal mirrors. Zhang He discovered that Zhao Yun Sima Yi was using the light to convey information, so he immediately pulled it out himself.
But it was still found.
Because even if Zhang He catches a living person and learns some delivery methods, novices and experienced hands, it doesn''t mean that whoever has a reflective shield can use it smoothly.
After all, every moment, the sun’s rays are somewhat deviated. Do you want to use it proficiently without a period of training? What are you kidding?
Even forcing people to live is useless, because no one knows if there will be any news that shouldn''t be sent out in the process.
So Zhang He only dared to pull it out, but not use it.
But after the transmission point is removed, because it is point-to-point transmission, there must be feedback after the message is sent. If there is no feedback, of course there is a problem. If the point is wrong, it is naturally a problem around the point.
The most important thing is that as long as the weather is clear and the line of sight is clear, this method of transmitting messages is very fast, which is much faster than running a horse.
Zhao Yun nodded, "Send the order, march in!" 』
Zhao Yun''s army was advancing, and Zhang Yun didn''t dare to fight head-on, so he naturally had to run away, and it was impossible to wait until dark to act, so when Zhang Yun started to run, the smoke and dust were stirred up, and he was discovered by the hussars scouts, and then Being chased all the way, it was not until dusk that it stopped.
"what to do? General, what should we do now? Zhang He''s confidant guard asked in a low voice.
When Zhang He was being chased and ran, some Xianbei people saw that the situation was not good, so they sneaked into the valley of the mountains and forests on the way. When dusk fell, Zhao Yun and Sima Yi slowed down and counted the number of people. Almost three to four percent less!
The Xianbei people followed suit, so naturally there was no problem, so when Zhang He ambushed at the beginning, he was more or less obedient, but seeing the Hussar army approaching, these Xianbei people naturally had no loyalty at all, and they didn''t all run away. It was Zhang Xi who found out that something was wrong, and managed to maintain it after repeated restraints.
However, even Zhang He himself knew that looking at the flickering eyes of these Xianbei people, if he continued to stay here, something would definitely go wrong this night!
For the Xianbei people, if they can have Zhang Yun to help them beat the hussars for revenge, they will naturally fight with Zhang Yun, but if they find that Zhang He can''t beat the hussars and have no hope of winning, then these Xianbei people will soon Keep your greedy eyes on Zhang Xi! These Xianbei people don''t care about whether they are friendly or not. Anyway, they grab some things and return them to the desert. Does it matter whether these things belong to this Han or that Han?
"go back! Go back to Yuyang..." Zhang He pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Move immediately and go back overnight!" 』
"what? Now? ’ the confidant guard asked.
Zhang He nodded, "Now! Start now! 』
how to spell? can''t fight...
Zhang Xi''s original plan was to use an ambush first to eat up some scattered troops of hussars and disrupt the rhythm of the hussars'' march. The tacit understanding between each other, and finally find a chance to make a vote, it is best to defeat the Hussar Pioneer or something, naturally it will be considered a success.
But now, this plan has just started, and it has been ruined.
Chasing ducks is like being chased by the ass, and even the headquarters he leads has lost morale, not to mention the recruited Xianbei people. If they continue to stay here and wait for the real fight, I am afraid it will not be a live performance. It''s called a crash!
Go back as soon as possible, more or less still bring some loot, and you can save some people, otherwise, when these Xianbei people who reacted slower also come back to it, I am afraid that Zhang He and others will be stabbed in the back halfway!
As for the missing Xianbei people, wouldn’t it be normal for them to get lost during a quick march at night?
『This is not normal! 』
Cao Chun looked coldly.
A person who has a dead ax means the son of his neighbor. Isn''t this a normal psychological phenomenon? So Cao Chun felt very abnormal when he looked at Zhang Yun who came back.
Go out more than 2,000 people, come back with more than 1,000 people, it is said that there is no way to fight head-on, and the missing troops ran away by themselves during the night march?
I took some rags, er, well, it’s not rags, some hussar armor, not even a decent general’s outfit, so it’s considered a hand-to-hand fight, can I do a job?
Who is this fooling?
Cao Chun was naturally doubtful, and then secretly found a few soldiers of the Cao army who were following Zhang He to fight, and found that Zhang He was in the middle of the road, and left alone to attack the scouts of the hussars...
Um... this...
Immediately after that, Zhao Yun and others followed closely with hussars and horses...
Um... so...
Zhang He led them through the mountains, some of the Xianbei people ran away at some point, and in the evening, Zhang He ordered to return to the army...
Hmm... This is really not normal!
They said they went to strangle the Hussar scouts, but no one else saw them. Who knows if they really killed them or put on a show? And the following hussars came so fast, if the scouts of the hussars were really killed, it should be more difficult to be discovered by the hussars, how could they find Zhang He so accurately?
Now that Zhang He was found, how could Zhang He escape without fighting? How does he know which way to go? Why didn''t Zhang Xi even fight a frontal fight, but just led his troops to circle around?
『Come on! Order Zhang Junyi! Do not enter the city! Still camping in the west of the city! ”Cao Chun said in a deep voice.
The orderly went down.
Cao Chun walked around twice, and then beckoned to his confidant guards, "Go to the top of the city and watch, if Zhang Junyi tries to charge the city, he will kill without mercy!" Also, send some people to keep an eye on Ju Guangping...see what he''s doing...』
On the battlefield, the danger is extremely dangerous, no matter how careful you are, you can''t be too careful.
Although on the whole, war considers the overall strength, but in a certain part, it is normal for the two sides with inconsistent strengths to turn over. Soldiers never tire of deceit, the generals of both sides use their own strategies, deceit and counter-deceit, concealment and counter-concealment, don''t compete with the wisdom of both sides at all times.
False and real, false and true, soldiers never tire of deceit, and no one stipulates that only the weak side can use tactics, and the strong side will also use them. Just like in a casino, those with small chips are often eaten by those with deep chips. Why?
Cao Chun''s final bargaining chip was not Zhang He, Ju Shou, or the Caos in his hands, but Yuyang. Only when Yuyang exists, everything is meaningful, otherwise, if Yuyang does not exist and the Youbei barrier is lost, the Cao family will lose Youzhou forever.
So Cao Chun dares to push Yuyang up at the beginning?
At this moment, Zhao Yun and Sima Yi did not drive to Yuyang immediately, but waited for Liu He on the way.
Liu He also met Zhao Yun before, and even had dinner and chat with General Hussars. Logically speaking, he is considered a veteran, but now he still has to wait outside in a proper manner.
"Please Liu Youzhou..." A soldier came out and said loudly.
Liu He nodded slightly and moved forward. The Xianyu family on the side also wanted to go in with them, but was stopped by the soldiers who stretched out their hands and squinted over, "The general invited Mr. Liu Shijun..."
Xian Yufu immediately raised his eyebrows. I also met General Hushi back then. Why can''t I even meet Zhao Yun today?
Liu He was silent for a moment, "By the way, I remember that there are still some affairs in the army that seem to be not done well, please ask General Xianyu to trouble you..."
Xianyu Fu took two heavy breaths, then cupped his hands, turned around and left.
This is a warning.
Liu He knew it clearly.
Because I didn''t do the original task well.
Liu He slowly followed behind Zhao Yun''s soldiers, walking inward.
Zhao Yun Sima Yi put Liu He here, Liu He himself is very clear, he is actually a buffer. It is a very common pattern to give some support to the guest army and let it be used as a barrier, but the problem is this time, Liu He did not do what a guest army should do in the first place, so eat It''s only natural to show off some power.
The reason why Liu He didn''t do what he was supposed to do was also very simple. He didn''t have enough chips.
Not everyone has the courage to abandon everything, block everything, dangle on the edge of the cliff every time, take a step forward to survive, and step back to die. Although Liu He has the name of Liu Yu''s son on his head, but He is just an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have been fooled by Yuan Shu in vain back then...
So when the Xianbei people attacked in large numbers, Liu He chose to wait and see. The Xianbei people didn''t come to kill Liu He and others, and Zhang He and Ding Ling were on the side, so Liu He naturally felt that there was no reason to fight to the death and then put his whole family and life on it.
On the one hand, the Wuhuan people have just experienced a split, and they are not very willing to cooperate in fighting to kill. They can''t beat them, but the hussars will also suffer some injuries. If they want to stabilize Youzhou at that time, Liu He''s cooperation will be needed even more, and their own status will be improved invisibly.
So if this is the case, why rush up at the beginning? For Liu He, that''s not called bravery, that''s called "beep" head pouted to die...
However, Liu He did not expect that the Xianbei people were like clay sculptures. They looked quite big, but when they encountered the wind and rain of Zhao Yun Sima Yi, they collapsed with a crash and turned into dust. Back then, Liu He''s father, Liu Yu, also tried his best to resist the Xianbei people, and even had to tolerate Gongsun Zan''s many rude behaviors, but when he came to Huqi, how could it be so easy?
So, if there is a mistake in judgment, it is natural to accept punishment.
In this regard, Liu He acted very bachelor. When he met Zhao Yun and Sima Yi, he pleaded guilty on the spot, and then told his original thoughts, expressed his mistakes, and was willing to be punished. Of course, there are slight deletions and concealments in the words, but the overall attitude is still sincere.
Sima Yi looked at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun nodded slightly.
Sima Yi stepped forward, helped Liu He up, took him to the side and sat down.
『Liu Shijun...the words of punishment, there is no need...you and I are allies, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates...hehe...''Sima Yi said with a smile, some brilliance in his eyes, playing this in front of me? "What the general and I are worried about is that Mr. Liu has forgotten the last wish of Marquis Xiangben, and only wants to live a happy life and enjoy peace and happiness..."
Liu He suddenly felt uncomfortable. As children in the Han Dynasty, they still respected the concept of their parents'' clan, unlike later generations, they could take their parents out and hang them casually, cheating fathers and mothers.
Before Liu He could say anything, Sima Yi continued: "Now we are going to enter Yuyang...Although Xianbei is newly defeated, there are still many remnants in the desert, which will hinder us...Liu Shijun is willing to accept The soldiers are the flanks and go to the Xianbei royal court. Firstly, it can fulfill the last wish of Marquis Ben, and secondly, it can also cut off the root of Xianbei''s disaster. I don''t know what Liu Shijun wants? 』
What this says...
Liu He didn''t know what to say for a while.
This has brought out Liu Yu''s name. As Liu Yu''s son, can he lick his face and say that he doesn''t know, isn''t there such a thing? After all, Liu Yu''s reputation grew up during the confrontation and governance of the northern Youzhou and Xianbei and other Hu people. If he didn''t even admit this, he would have to be pointed at his nose and scolded, "What a waste!" Son of Man! 』
The words "in vain to be a son of man" may not be taken seriously by some people in later generations. After all, if you can''t be a son, then be a grandson...
However, in the Han Dynasty, if someone had such a name, that person would be finished. No one would associate with such a person. Would a person who didn’t even care about his own parents have any credibility and sincerity towards others?
So Liu He couldn''t refuse. At the same time, the reason why Liu He said that he was short of troops, etc., was actually to prevent Zhao Yun and Sima Yi from forcing him to attack Yuyang. Naturally, it was more in line with his and the Wuhuan people''s appetite, and the relative risk was naturally smaller.
Liu He stood up and prostrated himself on the ground again: "I would like to obey the general''s order!" 』
