Chapter 2 Yanmen Emergency Report, Young Zhang Liao
Liu Qing is not as good as Dian Wei.
This Hanhan has become more and more deviant after spending time with Guo Jia.
When he returned to his house, Xun Yu and Guo Jia immediately greeted him, looking anxious.
Xun Yu said anxiously: "My lord, something bad is going on. An urgent report came from Lord Jufu. Xianbei Kuai Tou is raiding the northern part of Yanmen. The urgent report says that this time it is not an ordinary raid. Kuai Tou leads thousands of cavalry.
After burning and killing all the way, the troops have reached the gate of Ping City, and now Governor Guo is recruiting troops to defend."
What's going on, I haven't even taken office yet, and foreign enemies are coming in right now?
Liangzhou was in chaos early, and Xianbei was also in chaos early.
"Isn't Yanmen a border county? Why is the defense so weak?"
"The area outside Yanmen County was originally the territory of the Southern Xiongnu. After the Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, there were fewer troops stationed in the border counties. Now the right virtuous king of the Southern Xiongnu, Luanti Yufuluo, was leading troops to help Fu Xie quell the rebellion in northern Hebei, causing the Southern Xiongnu to quell the rebellion.
The territory is empty. In the past, when Xianbei went south, most of them came from Yunzhong County. This time, they probably took advantage of Yanmen County Governor Guo's health to invade the territory," Xun Yu said.
"The Xianbei invasion at this time may have something to do with the Southern Huns sending troops to the Central Plains. Moreover, the war in Liangzhou is currently intense, and the Qiang and Hu rebels have invaded Guanzhong. For the Xianbei leader, this is a God-given opportunity." Guo Jia commented.
"The words of filial piety are a God-given opportunity, huh, from what I can see, the leader is seeking his own death!" Liu Qing said angrily, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to take advantage of the situation, "Send the order, eat immediately, and set off in no time! Send the order to Zhao Yun, order him to
After resting in Yuanshi, follow me to Yanmen and Dianwei to find a carriage and take that man with you!"
Liu Qing made a prompt decision, started dinner in advance, and marched in troops in advance.
…
In Yanmen County, strong winds blow and yellow sand fills the sky.
Although Yanmen County is covered with mountains, south of Pingcheng, there is a vast plain, extending all the way to Yinguan County, the county seat, and the important town of Mayi. It can be said that the population of Yanmen County is concentrated in this hinterland. Once Pingcheng is destroyed, the next one will
The place that can be defended is Yanmen Pass.
If they were really beaten to Yanmen Pass, it would mean that the entire Yanmen County would be lost.
Previously, Pingcheng County Lieutenant Han Heng defended the valley and bought several days for the people of Pingcheng to evacuate. Now, Pingcheng has been reduced to a military fortress. Han Heng still has more than 1,500 soldiers in his hands, and he plans to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
Kuitou surrounded Pingcheng. Although his own strength was several times that of the defenders, the cavalry could not attack the city. After all, Pingcheng was not a small earthen city like Qiangyin.
Since there was no need to attack the city, the leader simply divided out three waves of troops, each with five hundred men. They burned and killed the people south while chasing the people who fled south.
On the other side, the county governor Sima Weilin led 800 newly recruited young soldiers and rushed north to support him. Young men born in the border areas are usually good at riding and shooting. If the conditions are better, they can prepare their own bows and horses.
The eight hundred people provided their own mounts, so they could be the first group to support Pingcheng.
Halfway through the journey, there suddenly came from the front a burst of war horses neighing, shouting and killing, and the sound of crying and screaming.
"The Xianbei thieves must have entered the hinterland and are preparing to kill the enemy!" Wei Lin drew out his long sword and raised it high above his head, "Prepare your bow and arrow, kill!"
The eight hundred cavalry suddenly accelerated, stepped out of a cloud of smoke, and headed forward. Not long after, they saw the Xianbei cavalry chasing the people.
Wei Lin suddenly became furious and roared: "Kill the thief with me!"
After Wei Lin finished speaking, he saw the young knights setting up their bows and arrows one by one. The one closest to him was the first to fire the arrow, and the long arrow passed by. Wei Lin followed with his eyes and saw that the arrows pierced the forehead of a Xianbei cavalryman, and his fur was cut off.
The hat is always fixed on the head.
"Good shot! What's your name!" Wei Lin exclaimed and asked his name.
"I am Zhang Liao, named Wenyuan, from Mayi." The archer said, and shot another arrow, shooting down another person.
At the same time, the arrows from the Xianbei cavalry's counterattack also flew over one after another, and many people fell directly after being hit by the arrows.
The two groups of soldiers and horses kept approaching and shooting at each other. The Xianbei people's archery skills were not outstanding. After four or five rounds of shooting, both sides had nearly a hundred casualties.
Wei Lin took the lead and rushed in front of the opponent's horse. He chopped off the head of a Xianbei soldier who was still trying to shoot an arrow with a sword. Then he waved his long sword to deflect an arrow that was shot at him at close range. The horse stepped forward.
After a few steps, before the Xianbei soldier could draw his sword to block, he cut off his arm with an arrow, and then stabbed his heart with his sword.
Wei Lin was wearing a military uniform and was too conspicuous. After killing two people, a burst of chirping sounds came from the Xianbei people, and several arrows flew towards him. He raised his sword to block, but failed to block them all, and was hit by an arrow in the abdomen.
"Wei Sima, you are injured!" Zhang Liao stood in front of him and blocked several arrows with his knife.
"It doesn't matter if you have a small injury, killing the enemy is important!" Wei Lin said, gritted his teeth, broke the arrow shaft, and threw it on the ground. Still holding the sword tightly, he attacked a Xianbei soldier, blocked it three or five times, and then stabbed him.
die.
Several more arrows flew in, one each hitting his leg, chest and horse. Wei Lin stumbled and fell off his horse.
"Wei Sima!" Zhang Liao jumped up and dismounted to check Wei Lin's injury.
"Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan!" Wei Lin recognized him and grabbed his hand.
"Your injury!" Zhang Liao covered Wei Lin's chest, but blood was still oozing out.
"As a general, you must take the lead and charge into the formation. I am not afraid of death. I will lead them and charge out!" Wei Lin said with difficulty, with blood foaming from his mouth. He grabbed Zhang Liao's hand and held the long sword in his other hand.
, handed it to Zhang Liao.
Wei Lin coughed twice and then died. For the first time on the battlefield, the officer died in front of him. Zhang Liao didn't know what it was like for a moment. He only had one sentence in his mind: To be a general, you must take the lead and charge in the battle!
He looked at the battle formation. The Yanmen men were fighting with the Xianbei thieves, but one side was fighting for the first time after all, and the other side was almost all butchers with blood on their hands. Zhang Liao gritted his teeth, held a sword in one hand, and
Holding the sword, mount the horse again and kill the enemy.
After killing two unsuspecting Xianbei soldiers, someone finally targeted Zhang Liao and slashed at him with a scimitar. Zhang Liao turned his sword and moved his upper body, not engaging him hard and narrowly avoiding the blow.
, then the long sword was thrust back violently, and an arm still holding the sword flew into the air.
Zhang Liao didn't pay attention and raised his sword to kill the other man. When the horse passed by, he swiped his long sword and the Xianbei soldiers' heads rolled down. His left hand was not idle, blocking all his attacks.
After killing several people in a row, Zhang Liao immediately attracted the attention of the Xianbei cavalry. A large group of cavalry raised their scimitars and came towards him.
Zhang Liao's eyes were sharp, he held the sword tightly with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Yanmen man, follow me to kill the thief!"
Zhang Liao slapped the horse's belly with his sword, and the horse immediately got up and galloped towards the group of Xianbei cavalry. Zhang Liao's action was undoubtedly a great encouragement to the Yanmen men. Even though he fell below in the fight just now, he still
At this moment, Zhang Liao rushed towards the rebel army as if he was sure to win.
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
The Yanmen man roared and drove the horse under his crotch to the extreme speed. The remaining five or six hundred people marched forward like a thousand troops.
In particular, the leader, the guy holding swords in both hands, looked like he was going to die together.
The remaining three hundred or so Xianbei cavalry were horrified. Their survival experience on the grasslands had taught them how to survive.
perish together?
Delusion!
The Xianbei cavalry began to slow down, retreat, and turn around.
However, Zhang Liao's charge was completed and he soon caught up with the Xianbei cavalry. The original confrontation turned into a one-sided pursuit.
The Xianbei cavalry ran all the way, and Zhang Liao led his men to chase them, shouting from time to time:
Chapter completed!
