Chapter 396 Breaking the Formation
Zhang He was stationed in a relatively vast and flat area, sending people to inquire about Wu Lan and Fu Tong's movements, while waiting for He Fei's orders.
For now, Zhang He still has more troops than Wu Lan and Fu Tong, so he is thinking about whether to lure Wu Lan and Fu Tong away and wait for an opportunity to knock down Ruxukou. However, Wu Lan and Fu Tong can take the flat road. The second general will not follow, and he will take the mountain path, and he will be at a disadvantage. Maybe all the soldiers who are acting as bait soldiers will have to join in.
Gao Lan saw that Zhang Heyi was helpless and asked why.
Zhang He told the truth, and Gao Lan laughed: "What's so difficult about this? I'm willing to lure Wu Lan, Fu Tong, and Jun Yi away as a bait for the soldiers. Just worry about attacking Ruxukou."
As he spoke, Gao Lan sighed and said: "Once Ruxukou is captured, Li Qi will be the turtle in the urn, and it will not be difficult to capture him. If this plan succeeds, Jun Yi will do the most great work, and he will be granted the title of marquis and general." I'd like to trouble Junyi to take note of the friendship between the two of us that we have worked together for many years and take care of Gao's family."
Zhang He said: "Brother Gao and I have known each other for more than twenty years. How can I climb up on Brother Gao's body?"
Wen Ji next to him: "..."
So, are you planning to climb up on my corpse?
Zhang He glanced at Wen Ji and said awkwardly: "General Wen, please don't worry. I, Zhang Junyi, will not climb up on the corpse of any of my comrades. That's why I am worried about this matter."
Wen Ji said: "General Zhang doesn't need to worry too much. The plan now is to recuperate and wait for His Majesty's decree. The moment the decree arrives, we all have to work hard to execute it."
After a while, a scout reported: "Report to General Zhang, Zhao Yun's Qingqi was found several miles to the northwest."
Zhang He was shocked when he heard this. Since it was a light cavalry, its moving speed was not much slower than that of a scout. So he found a high place and looked carefully. He saw dust flying in the distance. Several cavalry had broken through the hustle and bustle and appeared in sight. in.
Zhang He immediately mounted his horse and issued the order: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"
The sergeants had just exhausted their energy to build this simple tent, and before they had time to take a breath, they had to pick up their weapons to meet the enemy, and they couldn't help but complain.
Of course, they didn't dare to scold Zhang He, they could only scold Li Jun for being so damn good at tormenting people.
Just when Zhang He was about to confront Zhao Yun, he suddenly found that there was only a fog in front of him, and there was no one or one rider in sight.
Zhang He was surprised: Could it be that I was dazzled just now?
But according to the scouts, Zhao Yun should appear in front.
Gao Lan reminded: "Jun Yi, be careful of fraud."
Zhang He nodded. Li Jun has always been full of tricks, and there was a layer of fog in front of him. No one knew what was going on behind the fog.
In fact, Zhang He thought too much. The fog was indeed raised by Zhao Yun's light cavalry stepping on the dry dust, but Zhao Yun was not aiming at him at all.
Zhao Yun received an adjustment order from Li Qi on the way, asking him to return to the army and flank Guan Yu to attack the reinforcements sent by Cao Pi towards Ruxukou. However, Zhao Yun had not yet found a suitable position for an ambush along the way, and accidentally saw him from a distance. He defeated Zhang He's army, so he temporarily turned back. Otherwise, if he and Guan Yu failed to attack Cao Wei's reinforcements, they would probably be attacked by Cao Wei's reinforcements and Zhang He.
However, in order to confuse Zhang He, when Zhao Yun turned around, he deliberately led the light cavalry in a circle in the open space, raising the dust even more, making them unable to see clearly, and they were confused and did not dare to act rashly.
When Zhao Yun turned back this time, because there was no suitable place for an ambush, he had to find an open space to dig traps along the way, tie up horse ropes, and send scouts to all directions to investigate the movements of Cao's army.
Before the fortifications were completed, scouts came to report that Wei troops had appeared in the direction of Hefei, led by Jiang Ji and Le Jin.
Zhao Yun thought to himself: The Wei army is really fast. I don't know if Yun Chang can catch up or not.
After hastily dealing with the trap, Zhao Yun stood ready.
But Zhang He said that after the dust and fog dispersed, he did not see Zhao Yun coming, so he sent scouts to investigate.
And Zhao Yun knew that Zhang He was not far away, so how could he not be on guard?
Therefore, the scouts sent by Zhang He often did not respond, and they expected Zhao Yun to set up an ambush not far ahead - if not for the ambush, the scouts would not have been able to see Zhao Yun's army in front and continue to fight against it.
As a result, Zhang He did not dare to rush in the direction of Zhao Yun, but could not wait for Cao Pi's order, so he had to pay attention to Wu Lan and Fu Tong.
Wu Lan and Fu Tong narrowly won a battle with their geographical advantages. How could they dare to take the initiative to provoke Zhang He on Pingping Avenue? They wanted to stay where they were and wait for the opportunity, but they received a military order from Li Qi and asked them to go to Ruxu.
This not only ensures the safety of Wu Lan and Fu Tong, but also enhances Ruxukou's defensive strength.
With great difficulty, Cao Wei's messenger Shi had to go over the mountains and ridges to convey Cao Pi's decree to Zhang He. The order was: Assist Jiang Ji and attack Ruxukou.
However, Zhang He had not seen Jiang Ji and Le Jin until now. He suddenly remembered the elusive Zhao Yun. He thought that Jiang Ji and Le Jin might have been intercepted by Zhao Yun, so he led his troops to rescue them.
At this time, Jiang Ji and Le Jin were fighting fiercely with Zhao Yun. Their front troops either fell into a trap or were tripped by horse ropes. They were in a mess and were shot at indiscriminately by Zhao Yun's light cavalry. Then Zhao Yun used the power of his cavalry.
Advantage, attack with a spear.
Jiang Ji believed that the incident happened suddenly and that he should withdraw his troops to rest for a while before making further progress. However, Le Jin believed that if he pressed forward, Zhang and He's troops would come to respond. When the time came, they would attack from both sides and achieve a complete victory.
However, the person in charge of the Hefei area is Jiang Ji, and Lejin was integrated later. If there are differences, only Jiang Ji can make the decision.
In fact, Jiang Ji just thought that Zhang He was still waiting for him to save him after being hit, and he might not have the energy to come and attack Zhao Yun. Jiang Ji didn't know that Zhang He's battle damage was actually not great, and he was heading in this direction.
Come.
It was better to retreat. This retreat happened to hit Guan Yu who came to close the net, and the Wei army was defeated.
Just as the sky was getting dark and the sight range was not very good, Jiang Ji and Le Jin abandoned their horses and helmets, turned into soldiers and fled.
Guan Yu and Zhao Yun combined their armies into one, and fought a battle with Zhang He who was barely able to catch up.
Zhao Yun killed Gao Lan with one shot, Guan Yu killed Wen Ji in formation, and Zhang He seized the road and fled.
After this battle, Li Qi's side suffered seven or eight thousand casualties, while Cao Wei's 50,000-strong army either died or surrendered, and only a few hundred personal guards fled with the general.
Cao Pi was furious and wanted to accuse Jiang Ji, Le Jin, and Zhang He of three generals, but they were spared after the advice of his ministers.
Of course, Cao Pi was just making a gesture. With the current lineup, how dare he break his own arm?
In the midst of his anger, he suddenly heard that Sun Quan of Jiangdong withdrew his troops after capturing Yuhu.
"The troops have been withdrawn..." Cao Pi sat down on the dragon chair he had just made temporarily and almost fainted.
Obviously, he was tricked by the combination of Li Qi and Sun Quan. I like to travel through the Three Kingdoms, starting from the time when the grass falls into the bandits.
